Chapter 29: Bluffing
Early the next morning, Wei Ning got up.
He has important things to do,
"Ma Xiu, Ma Kang is going back soon."
In his letter, he also specially advised Lu Bu.
Ordered LΓΌ Bu, Guo Jia, Xun Yan, Huang Xu, and Ma Chao to each lead an army of 100,000 people to capture Yingchuan.
Huang Xu Xunyan was in charge, and Huang Zhongju rushed from Luoyang to respond.
Subsequently, Lu Bu, Guo Jia, and Ma Chao each took 30,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 archers to secretly infiltrate Runan County, preparing to capture Yiyang and Anfeng Counties in one fell swoop when they were in Anfeng County, Yiyang County, in case of emergency, to rush to the aid of Lujiang.
Together with his guards, Wei Ning crossed the Yangtze River and headed for Jiujiang Xia Cai.
Zhou Tai Jiang Qin's address came to his mind.
If this is robbed, no one can blame it.
"Back to the Lord, I found that those two people had led more than ten people, who had just been snatched back from the river, and were now dividing the spoils at home."
"What a coincidence. Xu Chu walked over and said a word.
Wang Weining is here, and we will send someone to meet him. β
"Bang!" There was a loud bang.
I saw that the door of Zhou Tai's house was kicked in by him.
In the courtyard, the bandits, who were waiting to distribute the loot, screamed one after another.
This leg kicked the door directly into the inner room.
They all stared at the group with their eyes wide open.
Seeing that they were carrying weapons, my heart suddenly moved.
Whoosh,
They drew their weapons and stared at them warily.
There were thirty or forty people standing in the courtyard.
At a glance, you can tell that they are not a good thing.
Wei Ning looked at the six subordinates:
"I've surrounded them, don't even think about running away."
When these pirates saw that there were only seven of them, they were immediately startled.
Seven people, forty people in siege?
Did he think he was Huang Zhong, Lu Bu?
Someone shouted:
"Kill!"
"Stop!"
At this moment, a burly, bearded man walked out of the room.
When he saw the situation in the courtyard, he was shocked.
The door was kicked into the room,
When these little brothers are making trouble,
Later, the army came,
But these people don't seem to be ordinary soldiers.
They had a lot of dealings with the soldiers.
Although the soldiers are powerful, they cannot be defeated by one against ten.
"Old man Jiujiang Zhoutai, dare to ask who you are, why did you come to our academy?"
"Lieutenant Dian Wei is the lord of the Han Dynasty, under His Majesty!"
Dian Wei roared, and his voice was like five thunderbolts, soaring into the sky, shocking people's hearts.
This sturdy man with a dark face is really terrifying.
Zhou Tai calmed down and said suspiciously:
"Emperor Great Qin? Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is it?" β
What he knew was the person who killed Dong Zhuo and replaced Wei Zhongdao, Wei Ning.
In the minds of these robbers, Wei Ning is simply a fairy-like figure.
In the case of heavy security, it can also be secretly attacked by others.
He can even leave unharmed and take all his subordinates into his pocket.
What kind of courage is that?
And Dian Wei opened his mouth and said:
"Could it be that there is more than one Qin Emperor of our Han Dynasty? Naturally, it is called Wei Ning, and Wei Zhong. β
Lu Xiaofeng said, "Wei Zhongdao?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled.
Dozens of people in the courtyard were all dumbfounded, what is Wei Ning doing here?
Isn't this teasing me, how did you come to Jiangnan?
After all, this is not their home turf, and all the lords want to send themselves to their deaths.
When the time comes, he can replace the emperor and take control of the government, isn't this looking for abuse?
And Dian Wei opened his mouth and said:
"I want to gain a foothold in Yangzhou, and I see that you are very strong, and I want to take refuge in this seat, and this seat will treat you as a distinguished guest, and if you have to take refuge in this seat, it will be a dead end."
"This is the Great Qin Emperor?"
Zhou Tai was a little incredulous, even if Emperor Qin was coming to Yangzhou, he felt a little incredible.
Don't report yourself in broad daylight,
Isn't he worried that the county lord of Jiujiang will catch him and give him to Cao Cao or Sun Jian?
Wei Ning glared at him fiercely, and said categorically:
"It's true!"
Next to Zhou Tai, a handsome young man spoke:
"You risked your life to come to Yangzhou, are you sure that Yangzhou officials will not take you?"
Wei Ning did not answer, but continued:
"Jiang Qin, who are you? Jiang Gongyi, don't you say? β
The man looked at Wei Ning in surprise and asked suspiciously:
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's my name?" β
Wei Ning brazenly said:
"If you can't even find this, then how can Dong thief be killed by me?"
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Jiang Qin also came back to his senses and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know how many troops you brought with you in Yangzhou this time?"
Wei Ning's eyes swept over everyone, and he smiled and said:
"It's up to you?"
"Ahh
Everyone was stunned, and the smart people understood his words.
As long as they can keep up, everything in Yangzhou will be inherited by them in the future.
Wei Ning came to Yangzhou, and there were so many guards around him.
This trip to the Lujiang River is probably going to be bloody.
Zhou Tai knelt on the ground and said categorically:
"In the next week, Tai is willing to follow His Majesty, go to the soup and go to the fire, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate."
[Di, you received Zhou Tai's loyalty request and received a reward of 2,000 points. γ
"Under the order, Jiang Qin is willing to follow His Majesty, open up territory for His Majesty, and do his best.
ββ¦β¦β
[Di, you have obtained Jiang Qin's 'loyalty' and gained 2,000 contribution points. γ
"Subordinate......
[Drop, receive successfully ......]
The pirates in the courtyard knelt down.
They robbed the connoisseurs in the river, just to eat with a mouthful of food,
It is said that Wei Ning was born in the Wei family in Hedong,
The family has a lot of money, a lot of food and money.
As long as he is there, he will never starve.
Wei Ning shouted loudly:
"Everyone, get up quickly, with all the adults to help me share the pressure, I don't have to worry about the turmoil in Jiangnan, and I don't have to worry about my career failing."
"Thank you, lord!" Ye Qingtang said respectfully.
"Zhou Tai, may I ask who did this Yangzhou navy?"
"Back to the king, although there are 200,000 troops under the command of Jiujiang County, they are all battle-hardened soldiers and are not to be feared, while Yangzhou County Guard Liu Miao has an army of 40,000, and one of the generals is named Xu Sheng."
"Oh?" Chen Xiaobei's expression moved.
For Xu Sheng, Wei Ning is also relatively familiar.
Who knew that Liu Miao actually became the county guard of Yangzhou,
Even the geniuses on the Internet are recognized,
But sooner or later, this person will have to take refuge in himself.
Lu Zhou decided to stay with Liu Xuan for the time being, so that he could gain more experience.
Zhou Tai made an offer.
"My lord, if you want to do things in Jiangnan, you must have an army, and this army is very important in this big river."
"Come with me to Lujiang and start recruiting people from Lujiang."
"It's the master!"
In order to avoid the suspicion of the soldiers of Lujiang,
His younger brothers also entered the city one after another.
They settled in another restaurant that Wei Ning had prepared for them.
However, Wei Ning didn't expect that among them, there was actually a person standing there.
There were still people who ran away.
However, it was enough to make Wei Ning's heart tremble.
In that case, the people of Lujiang City will be panicked.
Maybe there will be some cornered,
They are intending to use themselves to get more benefits.
Wei Ning saw that the matter had reached the point where it could not be delayed, so he asked Wei 13 to deal with it.
Let him hurry to Runan County, prepare a new army for him, and help him capture the Lujiang River.
Zhou Tai's knees weakened and he knelt down, his face full of guilt.
"My lord, I didn't recognize him, that's why I made such a mistake, and I hope your lord will punish you."
"Youping, get up, this matter is not your fault, people's hearts are unpredictable, no one can ensure that all people are loyal, but for me, it doesn't have much impact."
Wei Ning muttered to himself in his heart, even if his true identity was exposed, it would be nothing.
Lao Tzu is now Sun Fu, why be afraid?
"You go and tell Lu Kang, let him set up a table in Lujiang, invite all the dignitaries, and say that Sun Fu will express his most sincere thanks to the Lujiang Wang clan on behalf of Sun Jian, and the Sun family will definitely not neglect them."
He wanted to see who Sun Jian's subordinates were, and when he walked into the courtyard, he saw the battle between Huang Wudie and Lu Wen.
He walked over and spoke:
"Lu Wen, it's up to you to pretend to be me tonight."
Wei Ning and Lu Wen talked a lot, and this night was destined to be peaceful.
Subsequently, he let Zhou Tai release his rumors in Lujiang,
He wants to see who is the opportunist and who is Sun Jian's loyal follower!
Inside the main hall of the castle lord's mansion.
Lu Kang and his henchmen are discussing what to do.
"You are all my cronies, Sun Fu has been in Lujiang for a few days, and I invited him yesterday to express my willingness to join, but just now, I got a message that Wei Ning had gone to Jiujiang County early this morning."
Lu Kang's eldest son, Lu Jun, inquired.
"Dad, is this kid alone, or is he with an army?"
Lu Kang replied: "Yan Su, do you know? β
"According to the information we have received, he only brought some of his men, and we don't know if he brought more soldiers."
Broll asks:
"This county lord, how can he be in Jiujiang?"
Lu Kang: "......." β
"He is a talented person, it is said that he has recruited all the local tyrants in the Yangtze River, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin got the information from them."
Bulu asked again:
"Really?" The dignified lord of the Han Dynasty quietly sneaked into Yangzhou, but did not report it, what is his intention? "Gather heroes and heroes for your own use? Or, do they want to fight with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others in the land of Yangzhou? β
Lu Kang's brother Lu Qian asked.
"Second brother, Wei Ning and the Sun family arrived in Lujiang together, which is not necessarily a bad thing."
"As soon as Emperor Qin came out of the south of the Yangtze River, the world was in turmoil, and the Bu clan echoed:
"I think what Bo Zhong said is also reasonable, no matter who we join, we must get what we want, and now that both families have sent envoys here, it can be seen that both of us attach great importance to it, and we can take the opportunity to reap more benefits."
Lu Jun proposed:
"Dad, in my opinion, let's find a way to get in touch with Wei Ning, not to mention that Sun Jian is now attacking Caisang City, even if he takes Caisang City, it will take a few days to get from here to Lujiang, Wei Ning is now in Jiujiang, maybe his next foothold is Lujiang City, or perhaps, he is in Lujiang City now, we might as well listen to Wei Ning's opinion and then make plans."
"Okay."
"You can contact the major families first, listen to their opinions, and even if we are on which side we are on, we can distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend."
Lu Jun thought about it and hurriedly said:
"Dad, the military strength of Lujiang must be in our hands, I think, Wei Ning should not have brought too many troops when he came to Jiujiang this time, otherwise, he would not recruit pirates, only if he has mastered the military strength, we will talk to him about the benefits."
Lu Kang: "......." β
"Lu Jun, my son is right, Lu Hao commands the whole county, we can be sure of this, but the troops stationed in Wanzhou Port are Sun Jian's brother-in-law Wu Jing, and he is not easy to deal with."
Lu Xian came up with an idea.
"Second brother, why don't we discuss with Liu Miao from Jiujiang County to see if he is willing to join us.
"Okay."
"My lord, if we don't let our cronies go to Jiujiang County, Wei Ning will appear in Jiujiang County for the first time, Liu Miao must be in a hurry, we can see if he will send his cronies, or send cronies to bring Wei Ning back to Jiujiang County."
"And who is going to do it?"
Lu Kang looked at these people and had a headache, these are his cronies, and he also needs them, it would be too wasteful to let them do such a trivial matter.
Lu Hao's voice sounded:
"Second brother, the dog Lu Jun is a school official in Jiujiang, otherwise, I will write him a letter and ask him to inquire about the news?"
Lu Kang reminded Lausanne.
"Thank you, let your brother pay attention to safety, we just need to test Liu Miao's attitude, don't act rashly."
"Hmm!" Zhang Hang answered.
After the two left, Lu Kang said to Lu Jun:
"Lu Jun, let Wu Jing, the general of Wanshuiwan, come over!"
Lu Jun answered and left the room.
Lu Kang leaned back in his chair, thinking about what to do next.
He wondered if he should stare at Sun Fu first,
As long as Wei Ning led his troops, he had to surrender to Wei Ning.
In that case, Sun Fu will be a big problem.
"Your Excellency!"
A servant, who was outside, shouted anxiously:
"County Lord, General Sun Fu asked you to hold another banquet tonight, invite the major clans of Lujiang and other ministers, and say that there are some things to discuss with the county lord."
Lu Kang's pupils shrank, he didn't expect Sun Fu's movements to be so fast.
Perhaps, he already knew that Wei Ning was coming to Yangzhou.
It's not easy to do now, tonight, I'm afraid this city is going to change a lot.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say.
Jiujiang County, inside a huge mansion.
Liu Miao summoned more than a dozen ministers and generals under his command.
As the king of a country, when Wei Ning came to Jiujiang, he was naturally anxious.
As a general of the Han Dynasty, as Wei Ning, he was killed without a prior notice.
Quietly infiltrated Jiujiang County, and began to recruit people.
What does this mean? Want to take this opportunity to pull him down from the position of 'county guard'?
Or, does he want to secretly develop his strength and capture Yangzhou?
Liu Miao glanced at it and said loudly:
"Everyone, the situation is critical now, I believe everyone has heard the rumor that the Great Commander Wei has arrived in Jiujiang County, I don't know how you feel?"
"The county guard's house...... Which one spread the 'rumors' that 'Duan Lingtian' was coming to Jiujiang County? Is this information really fake? β
"County Lord, it is reported that Wei Ning, like Dong Zhuo, is a traitor who monopolizes the power of the court and ignores the laws of the Han Kingdom, why not arrest him and hand him over to the Yuan family to deal with?"
"County Lord, since this Wei Ning is here to recruit people in Jiujiang County, he definitely didn't bring any troops, why don't we take the opportunity to sneak attack, kill him, or even capture him alive, when the time comes, we will be the heroes of the Han Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before we are promoted and raised."
"County guard, King Qin is a person who loves the people, and he is a virtuous man, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to come to Jiujiang County, it is the blessing of my Han Dynasty, how can he be compared with Dong Zhuo.
Wei Ning will definitely be grateful to himself.
Now, at last, someone has stepped up to speak for him.
This person is Zhang Yun of the Zhang family of Wu County, a member of the four great families of Jiangdong.
This Zhang Yun is not a general of Liu Biao, but a military general.
Zhang Yun, as Liu Miao's staff officer, was loyal to Liu Miao.
Although there are many officials in the Zhang family, most of them work independently and will not work for one person.
So the Zhang family placed him under Liu Miao's command.
But Zhang Yun is in his fifties.
It can be said that he was very old, and he had just married a maid and became pregnant.
For Zhang Yun, there are not too many records in the history books,
However, his Zhang Wen, as Sun Quan's cronies,
He was one of Sun Quan's most trusted people.
"County Shoufu, now that my second uncle has contacted the Sun family, otherwise, Wei Ning will be captured and handed over to Sun Jian for disposal?"
That person was the Eastern Wu Dutong, Lu Xun's biological father, Lu Jun.
"Hehe, Lu Jun, are you going to falsely accuse Lord Liu and make him bear a charge of treachery?"
"What do you mean by that, Mr. Zhang?"
"Sun Jian is only the county lord of Changsha, but Wei Ning is a relative of the emperor, the whole world is ours, Sun Jian is the county lord, but he went out without authorization, this is a rebellion, besides, Liu County Lord is not related to him, why should he be Sun Jian's accomplice, not a courtier?"
"You"
Lu Jun jumped to his feet in anger, this guy doesn't know what to do.
Liu Miao spoke earnestly:
"Don't fight, my subordinates have asked people to tell Liu Tingshi, and there must be a response soon, my lords, we are ministers of Hanzhong, how can we rely on others as we want."
If he blatantly stands on Sun Jian's side today,
If that were the case, he would have been labeled a traitor within two days.
Liu You is still there, the Han Dynasty is still there,
The most important thing is that Jiang Chen does not have the ability to compete with other forces.
They have the power in the army, and even the government has no way to take them.
However, Liu Miao's tens of thousands of people were vulnerable in front of Wei Ning's army.
Even the eighteen princes can't do anything about Wei Ning, are you a fool to be Wei Ning?
If he didn't have the confidence to win, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou, that would be looking for death.
Seeing that Liu Miao was angry, everyone shut up.
