The potter met with Shi Huan and Zhong Danyang elites, and said excitedly: "Why are you here?" ”

All the Danyang elites looked at each other and smiled.

Shi Huan said: "We have been following the lord, and naturally where the lord is, we will be there." ”

A Danyang elite pointed at Shi Huan and proudly showed off to the pottery merchant: "Eldest son, our commander is now the leader of the middle army, which is equivalent to the emperor's Praetorian Guard, right?" Hahaha! ”

Nangong Yan followed Lu Yi and walked in front of the pottery merchant.

Nangong Yan smiled: "Master Tao, it's been a long time!" ”

Lu Yi also said: "Long time no see!" It's a pity that this is not a place to catch up with the past, you go to the county government with us first, I will deal with the matter here, and the enemy will attack soon. You go to the county office, and then slowly catch up with Shi Huan and them. ”

The potter glanced at Lu Yi.

I glanced at the Zhongdanyang elite with a happy face, and felt a lot more comfortable.

Judging from their expressions, this Lu Yi should not be the one who betrayed Lu Kang's Taishou.

Or, there really is some misunderstanding on your own.

Thinking of this, the potter said: "Okay! ”

Lu Yi then rushed to Shuxian County with the potter and others.

didn't wait long in the county office, Cheng Pu, Tai Shici and others rushed over.

This time Shu County was taken, and 48 Danyang elites were killed in the battle in Jiangdong, more than 200 soldiers, and more than 1,000 soldiers were injured.

On the side of Lujiang Shu County, Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, was assassinated, Chen Ji and many other generals were killed, Liu Xun's personal guards were wiped out, and more than 500 Lujiang soldiers were killed in battle.

All the other officers were captured.

Nearly 6,000 Lujiang soldiers surrendered.

After a brief discussion, Lu Yi asked Zhuge Jin and Wei Jing to temporarily take charge of cleaning up the affairs of Shu County, and sent Chen Wu and Han Dang to lead 2,000 people each, with Liu Xun's head, to attack other counties in Lujiang.

Before attacking, the main thing is to pacify.

This time, Lu Yi's banner is Lu Kang's clansman!

Because Lujiang was the territory of Lu Kang Taishou during his lifetime, and Lu Kang was regarded as a virtuous county guard in the eyes of most of the families and people of Lujiang people.

Lu Yi believes that Lu Kang guards this flag too much, and can attract the favor of many families and people.

Therefore, this attack on the counties of Lujiang was to minimize the killing of the enemy, and once the city was broken, it was forbidden to invade the major families and people.

Shu County is also here.

All the Jiangdong soldiers who entered the city did not enter the private houses, but all slept on the ground.

In addition, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others led an army of 10,000, as well as 6,000 captured Lujiang soldiers to guard the city.

Tai Shi Ci and Xu Shu led an army of 6,000 out of the city, camped outside Shu County, and formed a corner with Shu County to wait for Yuan Shu's army to attack.

According to the prediction of Lu Yi and others, Lujiang was captured, and Yuan Shu could not give up.

And Lu Bu is now in Xuzhou, and it is unlikely that he will lead the army alone to encircle Yuan Shu.

can only wait for Cao Cao to send troops from Xudu to relieve the pressure.

Before that, it could only be carried by Jiangdong soldiers.

After arranging all the affairs, Cheng Pu immediately led the team to the city wall to inspect the fortifications.

Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, and Ling Cao each rushed to the city wall with the dead to assist in the defense.

The Shu County Government left only Lu Yi, more than a dozen teenagers, Liu Ye, Zhuge Jin, Wei Jing, as well as the Lujiang officials, Shi Huan and the eight hundred Danyang elites who had surrendered.

Lu Yi asked Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhu Ran, Zhou Fang and more than a dozen other teenagers to gather together to discuss today's war.

And he beckoned Nangong Yan, Tao Shang, Shi Huan, and Liu Ye into the living room where they were resting.

The servant brought tea and pastries.

Shi Huan chatted with the potter about everything that had happened in the past three years.

Lu Yi knew that the potter had the idea of killing him, but instead of being angry, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Shi Huan hurriedly said: "Eldest son, don't misunderstand the lord, the lord has never forgotten Lu Kang's hatred!" ”

"After the lord took over the position of the head of the Lu family from Lu Kang Taishou, the Lu family was run by the lord and became one of the most prestigious families in Jiangdong!"

"Also, whether it is Sun Ce's death or the occupation of Shu County this time, it is just the revenge of the lord."

Shi Huan didn't continue.

However, the potter already understood.

Sun Ce's death must have come from Lu Yi's hand.

Standing up and kneeling down towards Lu Yi, Tao Shang said: "Tao misunderstood Lu Zhijun, and even thought of ridiculous thoughts, the crime deserves death, please punish Lu Zhijun!" ”

Lu Yi hurriedly picked up the pottery merchant and said, "What is the crime?" You are at a mourning vigil, and you don't know my condition, and I haven't told you about it, so it's inevitable that you will misunderstand. Fortunately, although we had a misunderstanding, now that it has been solved, this is a blessing. ”

Shi Huan nodded at the potter.

The pottery merchant sighed with emotion: "No wonder Lu Kang Taishou can take a fancy to Lu Envoy Jun, this mind and mind are really admirable." ”

Liu Ye said: "Since the misunderstanding has been solved, then don't get entangled." The lord asked us to come over, or to discuss how to defend the city, this is the most urgent thing. Once the city is not defended, Cao Cao's side will take Shouchun again, and even go south to take Hefei, and the lord's future plan will be ruined. ”

Everyone nodded.

Lu Yi was silent for a moment, recalling in his mind the tools of war that could help him in his current situation in the future.

Gunpowder.

Firecracker.

Bomb.

Shells and so on.

After all, Lu Yi shook his head.

He remembered the gunpowder formula.

Now, he is also the master of one party, and he is not afraid of others framing him when he comes up with this formula.

The question is, with the formula, what can be done in such a short time?

As for the firecracker, although he had seen many similar ones before he crossed over, but, as a mediocre social animal, he had always treated them as just for entertainment, and he had never really understood the tools of war mentioned in it, and he didn't know the principle at all.

After all, before, he never dreamed that one day, he would see a mirage by himself, and he would cross over.

If he knew, he would have been crazy about all kinds of war knowledge.

It's a pity that there is no regret about taking the medicine.

Bombs, shells, etc., I am afraid that today's industrial standards will not be able to do it.

Lu Yi sighed secretly.

I am such a traveler, and I obviously went to college, but I have become a fish that has slipped through the net after nine years of quality education.

It's a sad thing.

Lu Yi thought of the double stirrups and horse hooves again.

However, this was also vetoed by Lu Yi.

First, in this era, horses are very expensive, and Jiangdong, which he is now in charge, cannot afford to raise cavalry, especially now, it is too late.

Second, Jiangdong survives by water, and there are not many places where cavalry can be used. Although cavalry is easy to use, especially in open places, like outside Shu County.

However, there are too few such places.

It's too hard to raise cavalry.

Therefore, the stirrups and hooves really come out, and they help too little, but when they spread to the north, it will be a great threat in the future, and this is completely digging a hole for themselves.

In these respects, the double stirrups and hooves not only cannot be made, but it is also necessary to be careful that someone in the north comes up with it.

However, it is generally unlikely.

Historically, these two things are still a long way off.

Just when Lu Yi and Liu Ye had some headaches, the potter suddenly said: "I don't know if I can use the fire ox trick this time." ”

Lu Yi and Liu Ye looked at the potter suspiciously.

The potter looked at the two and said, "When my father was alive, he often told us about his deeds of following General Huangfu Song and General Zhang Wen to fight against the Yellow Turban and conquer Beigong Boyu. ”

"Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Xiliang Qiang clan, has tens of thousands of cavalry under his hands, and he is extremely powerful."

"My father previously fought against Beigong Boyu with General Huangfu Song, and was directly defeated by the opponent's powerful cavalry."

"Because of this incident, General Huangfu Song was also dismissed, and the imperial court appointed Zhang Wen to replace General Huangfu Song."

"My father said that at that time, after General Zhang Wen wen, he actually brought 2,000 head of cattle with him!"

"When confronting Beigong Boyu, General Zhang Wen first used infantry to confront Beigong Boyu, showing the enemy weakness, making them think that our army is still weak."

"But when the Beigong Boyu cavalry rushed to kill our infantry, General Zhang Wen asked people to drive out two thousand cattle from the camp, tie straw behind the tail of the ox, and then set it on fire, and then drive it to the Beigong Boyu cavalry."

"Two thousand cows were frightened under the burning fire, and rushed towards the Beigong Boyu cavalry like crazy, shocking the Beigong Boyu cavalry to pieces."

"General Zhang Wen took the opportunity to let the army come out, and only then did he break the tens of thousands of cavalry of Beigong Boyu."

The potter said to Lu Yi: "I have been near Shu County for this time, and I originally wanted to wait for you to explain. I brought fifty strong men from Danyang, and they lived outside the city. On several occasions, they even stole cattle from nearby farmers and slaughtered them for food, which I reprimanded. ”

"Now that I think about it, I seem to have heard them say that there are more scalpers in this area."

"Moreover, there are open places outside the city of Shuxian County."

"If the Yuan army attacks, then, can we also use the Fire Ox Array to break the enemy?"

"My father said that the fire bull was pounding, and it was really scary."

"That momentum, ordinary people really can't bear it."

Lu Yi's expression perked up, and he looked at Liu Ye and Tao Shangdao: "It feels feasible!" The question is, how many scalpers can gather in this vicinity? And, where can we hide them before Yuan Shu's army attacks? ”

The potter said: "Let them hide in the hiding place of the fifty elite men I brought." They stole cattle from nearby farmers several times, and the government also sent people to arrest them, but they couldn't find them. ”

Seeing Lu Yi looking over, the potter smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I have scolded more than once, but unfortunately, sometimes, they are still disobedient." ”

Liu Ye stood up and said to Lu Yi: "I also think I can give it a try!" Now immediately send people to trade with gold, silver and jewelry, and trade as much as you can and use as much as you can. ”

"Or we can't gather enough scalpers, but the problem is that Yuan Shu's army can't have tens of thousands of cavalry like Beigong Boyu!"

"Moreover, we also have Tai Shici's 6,000 troops outside the city to assist."

Seeing Liu Ye say this, Lu Yi nodded emphatically, and immediately summoned the Lujiang officials who had just surrendered, and asked them to take their soldiers and buy scalpers with heavy money from door to door nearby.

Not to mention, in just two days, more than 400 scalpers were traded.

The reason why so many scalpers can be traded is basically due to the fear of the people.

Although Lu Yi made people advertise that he was from the Lu Kang clan, he came to avenge Lu Kang and would not harm the people of Lujiang.

But where will these families and people believe?

Lujiang experienced several wars after Lu Kang, especially Sun Ce, and even slaughtered Shu County.

Families and people did not dare to gamble.

In order to save their lives, the vast majority of people didn't even dare to collect money, and directly asked Lujiang officials to take away scalpers.

Lu Yi listened to the reports of various officials, and was also a little helpless.

The people of this era are often tragic.

It is not a simple matter to make them believe that they will not raise the butcher's knife against them like Cao Cao, Sun Ce and other princes, they can only take their time and not be eager.

Otherwise, it will only backfire.

Lu Yi didn't say anything more, but asked the officials to record the families and farmers who took out the cattle.

Wait for the end of this defense of the city, and then slowly find a way to return it to those families and people.
