Chapter 55: Invincible Combo
Although Sun Ce knew that Lujiang was under the jurisdiction of Jiao Zhongqing, the current assassin of Yangzhou, if he raised troops to attack Lujiang, the latter would most likely not sit idly by, but he had no choice.
First, if you want to break away from Yuan Shu, you must make a little fame.
The second is that he has no soldiers in his hands, except for more than a thousand old troops, there is nothing else. This amount of strength was not enough for him to survive safely after breaking away from Yuan.
Therefore, Lujiang must fight, even if Lujiang is a respected Lu Kang, he must fight.
However, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Jiao Zhongqing had an army of 40,000 in hand, but his move to defend Wu County made Sun Ce a little confused, whether this guy was ambitious, or was he planning something...... Could it be that this guy is hiding in a dark corner at the moment, waiting for him to attack Lujiang and then give a heavy blow from behind?
Sun Ce shook his head, shook out this terrible thought, slowly walked out of Shouchun City, and led the army along the spacious dirt road to ride his horse in the direction of the Lujiang River.
Anyway, this Lujiang is settled!
The king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't stop him when he came.
"Bo Fu!"
In the middle of the line, there was a sudden exclamation from the side of the road ahead.
A teenager the size of Sun Ce laughed, spread his arms, and rushed towards Sun Ce.
He is wearing a bright white Confucian dress, with a Confucian crown on his head, full of heroism between his eyebrows, a bold temperament, and a scholar's Sven on his face, the two are perfectly blended together, looking from afar, a Confucian general and wise general's demeanor.
"Gong Jin!"
As soon as Sun Ce saw the person, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took two steps to meet him, and the two hugged each other.
"Bo Fu!!"
"Gong Jin!!"
"Gong Jin, why are you here?!"
"Bo Fu, I'm here to help you!"
"Okay, with your help, big things can be decided!"
The two brothers stood in the middle of the road holding hands, looking at each other excitedly, and talked enthusiastically, "After parting, looking forward to reunion, in a few dreams, I and Jun Ce Ma howled the west wind." ”
The bitter cold wind and the barren wilderness could not dampen the enthusiasm of the two brothers to reunite.
After the greetings, the two rode side by side and began to talk about business.
When he heard that Sun Ce planned to break away from Yuan Shu after breaking through the Lujiang River, Zhou Yu nodded again and again in agreement, but then frowned and said worriedly:
"Bo Fu, I heard that Jiao Bu is the same as you and me, also eighteen years old, a good ranger when he was young, he was the leader of the Lujiang Baili bandits, but he did not trouble the place, he has a good reputation for protecting the territory and the people, and he has the courage to teach ten thousand people, and now he is the assassin of Yangzhou, if I know that I attack the Lujiang River and lead the army to help, I will suffer from the enemy on my back."
Sun Ce also frowned, and looked at Zhou Yu: "Wanfu is not brave? Is this true? ”
"It's true."
Zhou Yu nodded, "The people of Lujiang are rumored to say that he is Xiang Yu's resurrection, and he can pull out the mountain. ”
"Hiss~!"
Sun Ce gasped, he had always been confident in his own strength, but after listening to Zhou Yu's description, he immediately realized that this scorched cloth should be very difficult to deal with.
However, no matter how strong Jiao Bu is, he has to try the other party's ability.
Hearsay cannot be trusted.
If you really can't beat the other party, then it's not too late to use your wits when the time comes.
Usually, a high-armed martial artist like Jiaobu has a stupid mind.
In short, Sun Ce didn't believe that Jiaobu's mind was as developed as his limbs.
When I went to Lujiang, the only thing I had to worry about was Lu Kang.
In recent years, there have been more wars in the north, first there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Bazhou, then there were princes fighting for Dong, followed by the melee of the princes, and the people were trying to survive. had to drag his family and move south. Lujiang River is located in the north of the Yangtze River, bordering the Central Plains in the north and the Yangtze River in the east. Staying here can advance or retreat, coupled with Lu Kang's well-organized governance of the Lujiang River, so it quickly became the first choice for the people of the Central Plains to come south, and a large number of displaced people moved from the north to the south every year and settled in the Lujiang River.
As a result, Lujiang has become more and more populous and prosperous.
Such a populous city is very difficult to break under the leadership of Lu Kang.
Zhou Yu knew this, and Sun Ce naturally knew it.
Sun Ce raised his sword, pointed in the direction of the Lujiang River, and said proudly: "I intend to surround the troops on three sides, leaving only the east gate in and out, so as to make the people in the city flee from the Lujiang River, without giving Lu Kang any help, and finally our army can take the city without much effort." Gongjin, what do you think? ”
Zhou Yu bowed slightly, "Although this plan is good, I am afraid that Lu Kang is highly respected, and the people are reluctant to leave. ”
Sun Ce waved his hand and smiled, "Gong Jin, don't worry, no matter how brave that Jiaobu is, how can he be the opponent of you and my brothers?" Break the Lujiang River first, regardless of anything else, if that Jiaobu dares to come, he will definitely let him taste the power of my Jiangdong little overlord. ”
"Okay."
Zhou Yu thought about it, he and Sun Ce joined forces, one article and one martial arts, that is not the world walking sideways!
It's just a Lujiang, don't care too much.
The plan was decided, and Sun Ce rushed out first.
Zhou Yu and Huang Gai Chengpu followed,
The 30,000 soldiers followed closely behind, walking faster and faster, until at last they all ran.
For a time, the land was full of rampaging soldiers, and the scene was very terrifying.
………
Lujiang, Taishou Mansion.
"Fujun, it's not good, it's not good, Sun Ce has led an army of 30,000 people, and has surrounded the south, west, and north gates, saying... Speak... Let the prince of the palace immediately open the city and surrender, otherwise the city will be broken for a while, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. ”
"Fujun, let's go..."
A small official stumbled into the Taishou Mansion and reported the emergency military situation in a panic.
Hearing this shock, everyone in the hall got up in shock and looked at Taishou Lu Kang.
saw that Lu Kang, who was sixty-seven years old, was calm and composed.
"Where can I go? This place is the city of Lujiang Prefecture, I am too guarded, where can I go? ”
Lu Kang seemed to have anticipated this situation, got up and looked around in a hurry, and said to all the staff: "There are only 4,000 soldiers in the city, and there is no danger outside the city. Don't panic, just perform your duties and rely on the city to hold on, then Sun Ce can't attack it for a long time, and he will retreat. ”
"Fujun... What if Sun Ce doesn't retreat? One of the staff members took the liberty of asking.
After asking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
It is indeed a bit rude to ask such a simple question to Lu Kang, a respected elder.
Because, everyone knows how Lu Kang will answer.
I saw Lu Kang say loudly: "Then we will live and die with this city!" ”
And so it was!
Everyone was in awe, bowed to Lu Kang, and rushed to the city to defend it.
After everyone left, Lu Kang frowned, a little annoyed. He had thought that after he rejected Yuan Shu's request to borrow grain, the latter would brazenly send troops to attack Lujiang, but he didn't expect that the latter's soldiers and horses would come so quickly.
This changed his plans to send his people out somewhat.
At this point, regret is useless.
can only hope that Sun Ce will not embarrass the people who go out of the city.
Lu Kang ordered his servants to call eleven-year-old Lu Xun over, and at the same time splashed ink on the desk and wrote a letter.
This letter was written to Jiao Zhongqing, the assassin of Yangzhou.
Lu Kang did not expect Jiao Zhongqing to come to save him, but only mentioned in the letter: "For the sake of his old relationship with Cai Yong in the past, I ask Jiao Zhongqing to take care of the descendants of the Lu family." ”
Other than that, Lu Kang wanted nothing else.
He planned to let his grandchildren's Lu Xun, Lu Ji and others pretend to be ordinary people and take refuge in Wudi.
As for him and his sons and nephews, they lived and died with Lujiang.
Soon, several grandchildren who were dressed in people's costumes were called over.
Lu Kang handed the letter to the older Lu Xun, gave it a question, waved his hand, and turned his back.
Lu Xun and Lu Ji knelt down together and kowtowed to Lu Kang, and then, at the urging of their families, they went out of the east gate with tears in their eyes, planning to go to Wu County by boat, and then asked someone to forward the letter to Yangzhou Assassin Shi Jiaobu, hoping that the latter could send troops to relieve the siege of Lujiang.
In the eyes of eleven-year-old Lu Xun, his grandfather Lu Kang and the relatives of the Lu family were more and less auspicious under Sun Ce's soldiers.
If you don't do this goodbye, the family will be separated forever, and you will never see each other again.
Therefore, when kowtowing, Lu Xun knocked very hard, and a big bag came out of his brain.
But Lu Xun didn't know.
When he sailed to Koto,
Lu Buzheng personally led an army of 30,000 troops, Chen soldiers on the east bank of the Yangtze River, sharpened his sword, and prepared to give Sun Ce a heavy blow.
