Chapter 163: Jiang Gan and Zhuge Xuan

When everyone heard Lu Yi say this, they were silent.

Lu Yi looked at everyone, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he was about to make a decision, but at this moment, Chen Deng stood up and said, "I don't think it's appropriate." ”

Lu Yi said: "Reason." ”

Chen Deng said: "Wu Hou is indeed benevolent and righteous, and he can think about the people. ”

"Moreover, it does take into account the characteristics of us being better at water warfare than not at land warfare."

"But—"

Chen Deng took out a parchment roll from his sleeve with a small map drawn on it.

Pointing to Xiangyang and Xu Du, Chen Deng asked Lu Yi: "Dare to ask Wu Hou, the current strength of our Jiangdong can deal with the attack of Cao Cao and Liu Biao at the same time?" ”

"Our Jiangdong has indeed won Lujiang and Xuzhou now, and its strength has increased a little."

"However, our strength is actually not much different from the heyday of Yuan Shu, and even slightly worse."

"First, during the heyday of Yuan Shu, he occupied Nanyang and other places, these are fertile lands and abundant land, far from being comparable to Jiangdong."

"Second, Nanyang and other places are densely populated and have sufficient troops, and Jiangdong can't compare."

"Fertile land determines the supply of grain and grass, and the source of soldiers determines the number of soldiers."

"The two most important factors in the war, Jiangdong is not comparable to the heyday of Yuan Shu, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not as good as the heyday of Yuan Shu."

"But in the heyday of Yuan Shu, he still couldn't beat Cao Cao."

"Even if we rely on the bravery of our soldiers and the cleverness of our strategists, and we are better at fighting than Yuan Shu, we can only barely deal with Cao Cao."

"But if we really start a war with Cao Cao, how can Liu Biao in Jingzhou be a spectator?"

"Cao Cao is a hero, and fighting with him is just a strategy, but it can't be completely used as a means to save his life."

"Once he unites with Liu Biao, he will encircle Jiangdong."

"At that point, we won't be able to block the flanking attack at all."

"If the Baiyue people take the opportunity to rebel again, we will be even more inconsistent, and it will be extremely dangerous."

"If we put the governance center in Hefei, and we are really facing such a dangerous situation, then we are digging our own graves."

He looked at Zhang Hong again and said, "As for the relocation of Moling, this is not the right time to do so. ”

"Hebei Yuan Shao and Youzhou Gongsun Zan will soon decide the winner, and if they win one side, they must go south."

"I'm more optimistic about Hebei Yuan Shao winning."

"Once Yuan Shao of Hebei wins, he will inevitably divide his troops into two ways to go south."

"All the way down the Yellow River from Yecheng to Xudu."

"The other way down from Qingzhou, attacking Xuzhou, then Guangling, then Jiangdong."

"We have just occupied Xuzhou, and the people's livelihood and city defense are all withering."

"And Yuan Shao has an eldest son who occupies Qingzhou."

"Once Yuan Shao wins, Yuan Shao's army will attack from Qingzhou, Xuzhou, it's not that I'm discouraged, it's probably not that I can't keep it."

"It is only a matter of time before Yuan Shao takes advantage of a big victory and takes Guangling."

"If the Zhizhi Institute is moved to Moling now, when the time comes, Jiangdong will not have any buffer, and directly facing Yuan Shao's army will probably be a catastrophe."

"Therefore, for now, it is a better choice to still govern in Wu County."

"However, if we recuperate and Xuzhou is stabilized, or Jingzhou is taken, we can move to the administrative center."

"At that time, you can move the administrative office to Moling, or Xiangyang."

Chen Deng's words made everyone uproar.

After a while, Zhang Liao also stood up and said, "Wu Hou, this is the case. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yun also stood up and said, "Second!" ”

Lu Yi saw that the civil and military officials agreed, so he could only nod and say, "Then the first topic is like this." For the time being, it will not be relocated, and it is still in Wu County. ”

He looked at Chen Deng again and smiled: "Yuanlong, you did a good job." ”

Chen Deng saw that Lu Yi was not angry, but praised himself, and laughed back.

Lu Xun said: "The second topic is to discuss peace with Cao Cao. ”

"Do you want to make peace? Who to send to send the jade seal of the country? ”

Lu Yi glanced at everyone.

Gu Yong stood up and said, "Wu Hou, I am in favor of peace." Moreover, I have a recommendation from one person who will definitely get the job done. ”

Lu Yi said: "Who?" ”

Gu Yongdao: "My classmate, Jiang Gan, the son of Jiang Jin, the richest man in Jiujiang. ”

Lu Yi shuddered.

Jiang Gan!

It turned out to be Jiang Gan!

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jiang Gan is the one who was hacked out of the country by Luo Guanzhong.

Here, Jiang Ganzhi is very talented, and he was played with by Zhou Yu in the palm of his hand, and he completely became a clown.

Even, because of Jiang Gan, Cao Cao beheaded the Jingzhou generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, thus cutting off the possibility that Cao's army might be able to confront Jiangdong in terms of naval forces.

However, these are not historical facts.

The historical fact is that Cai Mao was Cao Cao's classmate, and even after surrendering, he was treated well by Cao Cao.

As for Jiang Gan, it's not so straw bales.

After all, Jiang Gan is also the son of a wealthy family, and he is also a classmate of Gu Yong and Zhou Yu, and they have all studied with Cai Yong.

Even so, thinking of Jiang Gan's stupidity in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Yi still said with a little humility: "Jiang Gan? Does anyone else recommend it? I really haven't heard of his reputation. ”

Gu Yong glanced at Lu Yi suspiciously.

He has an excellent relationship with Lu Yi and often communicates in private.

This is the first time Lu Yi has denied a person when he hears the name.

Over the years, Jiang Gan has been studying at home and has not gone out at all.

It's just that recently he heard that the Sun family was destroyed, so he deliberately found himself and wanted to seek a half-official position.

Thinking that this classmate could speak well, he recommended it.

didn't expect that Lu Yi would object.

Gu Yong hesitated, and wanted to recommend someone else.

Although I don't know what grievances Lu Yi and Jiang Gan have, but Lu Yi doesn't like it, so why offend him?

At this moment, Zhang Hong stood up and said: "Wu Hou, Jiang Gan Jiang Ziyi can speak well, have eloquence, and is gentle and elegant, and he is the richest man in Jiujiang, Jiang Jin's family. Give such a handsome man a chance, and our soldiers can have greater convenience in Hefei. ”

Yu Chuan also stood up and said, "Second!" ”

Lu Yi saw that so many people recommended Jiang Gan, so he could only secretly exhale and said, "Okay, then Jiang Gan will send Xu Du." However, let him come here tomorrow morning to see Lonely. ”

Gu Yong's expression was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Xie Wuhou!" ”

At this point, it's already noon.

Seeing this, Lu Yi said, "I'll be here in the morning, and the third topic will start in the afternoon." ”

Then he looked outside and said, "Let's go to the feast!" ”

An answer rang out outside.

The servant came up with the food.

Lu Yi was about to ask Lu Xun beside him what he had gained this morning, when he saw a figure walking briskly outside.

It is a little girl from the Lu family who specializes in serving Zhuge Ruoxue.

Lu Yi saw her and motioned for her to come over.

The little girl hurried to Lu Yi and said, "Family master, the eldest lady is waiting for you at home, she is packing up her things and is about to leave." ”

When the civil and military officials who were talking and laughing heard the little girl's words, they all quieted down and looked at the little girl in amazement.

Lu Yi also didn't come back to his senses.

He was still sleeping in Zhuge Ruoxue's room last night, and the two exchanged several postures, and they tossed until late at night.

Why is this the case today?

Moreover, Zhuge Ruoxue has always been a very talkative and well-behaved person, and she never makes trouble.

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "What happened?" ”

The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know." It's just that Qiao Guolao received a letter and gave it to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is like this, anxious to let you go back. But you are in a meeting, so you have been restless at home. ”

Lu Yi stood up and let Chen Deng preside over for the time being, while he walked out quickly.

Nangong Yan and Shi Huan were competing outside the mansion.

Seeing Lu Yi leaving in a hurry, the two hurriedly followed.

Lu Yi rushed to Lu's house, and while he was still at the door, he heard Zhuge Ruoxue's cry.

Lu Yi walked in quickly and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Next to Zhuge Ruoxue, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were also comforting.

Qiao Guolao, Lu Su's grandmother, and Xu Shu's mother sighed.

Seeing Lu Yi coming back, Zhuge Ruoxue stood up, greeted him, hugged Lu Yi and cried, and said: "Just now, Lu Da sent a letter to Qiao Guolao, asking Qiao Guolao to inform the concubine that the concubine's uncle died of illness in Xiangyang ten days ago. ”

"The eldest sister married another woman the year before last."

"Now, in Xiangyang, there are only two young brothers left in the concubine."

"Husband, the concubine knows that you are busy and can't leave."

"However, now that my uncle has died of illness, the concubine has to go to Xiangyang to see him for the last time, and take the two younger brothers over."

"They are adrift in a foreign land, lonely, how can they let go of their concubines?"

Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought something was happening.

So that's what happened!

looked at Zhuge Ruoxue's thin face, and she didn't have any opinions.

really let her go to Xiangyang, and I don't feel at ease.

After a little hesitation, Lu Yi said: "You give me two days, and I will hand over the Jiangdong affairs to Chen Deng, and then accompany you." ”

"You are a woman's family, and you have no idea, in case something happens, how can I rest assured?"

"What's more, I promised you before that as soon as the matter here is over, I will accompany you to pick them up."

Qiao Guolao hurriedly said: "This is not appropriate! Now that you are the lord of Jiangdong, if your identity is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Shi Huan said: "If you really want to go, I have a way." Before I met the lord, I led a thousand Danyang elites to lurk in Guangling, and my identity was never revealed. ”

Seeing this, Nangong Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will go with you." Moreover, isn't Lu Da doing business on the North Shore! When the time comes, just let him send someone to answer it. ”
