In Yangzhou, Kuaiji, and in the palace of King Wu, a group of nobles from Yangzhou also met with Liu Biao and encouraged him to proclaim himself emperor.

Liu Biao didn't think much and agreed without hesitation.

Su Xuan, who was far away in Jingzhou, quickly learned about the choices of Liu Zhang, Liu Yu, and Liu Biao through the secret guards.

He couldn't help but laugh:"Haha! Take a look, everyone! Sure enough, as soon as the emperor died, all the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty couldn't help it anymore and were all ready to proclaim themselves emperor!"

"They were even prepared to send envoys to invite all the princes and kings to attend the enthronement ceremony;"

"By then, there will be three more Han emperors. Do you think I should send someone to participate?"

As he said that, Su Xuan handed the information in his hand to Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others who read it one by one.

Tian Feng said directly:"I think, my lord, you should not participate, so it is best to refuse them all;"

"Now that the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty has passed away, my lord, there is no one hanging over your head, even in name only;"

"There is absolutely no need for you to arrange three top positions above your head!"

"Otherwise, if they want to attack us in the future, or have some will, should we still follow it?"

"We can completely deny their title of Emperor of Han Dynasty;"

"In this way, after the future lord you rule the world, it will be natural and justifiable for you to become emperor!"

"I believe that other princes and kings may have the same thoughts and choices."

They are just a few princes and kings of the Liu family who occupy a state. What qualifications do they have to call themselves emperor?"

"That's right!"

"agree!"

"Just drive people away!"

Guo Jia and others also echoed.

As for whether doing this will offend these three princes and kings?

Haha! They all want you to surrender, so what difference does it make if you offend or not?

It's all the same anyway.

Besides , they all want you to surrender. , they believe that other princes and kings will probably make the same choice as them and ignore these three Liu clan princes and kings.

They believe that the attitudes of many princes and kings will tell Liu Yu and others how to make a choice

"Um! Su

Xuan nodded with satisfaction:"I think so too!" Then let’s do it!"

As he spoke, he looked at Jia San aside and said:"You have heard 270 what I said! When Liu Yu and his envoys arrive at Xiangyang City, they can just drive them away without bringing them to see me."

"Here!"

Jia San immediately surrendered and accepted the order.

At the same time, the Xuan Jia Army led by Huang Zhong and the Qinglong Battalion led by Zhao Yun, with the assistance of Jiangxia Navy, entered Lujiang and Jiujiang counties respectively.

On the Jiujiang side, because Sun Ce led Most of the main force went to Gongda Lujiang, so it was relatively empty.

In addition, the Qinglong Camp and the general Jiangxia Navy had terrifying combat power.

It was overwhelming and unstoppable along the way.

In just two days, Zhao Yun and the others conquered seven cities in a row. , occupying a small half of Jiujiang.

After that, Zhao Yun and the others had no intention of stopping and continued to capture Jiujiang's territory.

Huang Zhong's side also went very smoothly. In less than a day, they had already attacked outside Wan County. , happened to run into Sun Cejun who was attacking Wan County, and a confrontation broke out.

"Damn it! Is this Su Xuan's Xuanjia Army? How come they are here at this time?"

"Does he also want to take over Lujiang County?"

Sun Ce said with an angry look.

Originally, he was about to capture Wan County. However, the Xuanjia Army was thrown out. Does he still have a chance to capture Wan County? I'm afraid it will be difficult!

The soldiers he brought out this time There are only 40,000 horses.

In addition, he knows very well that compared with the combat power of Su Xuan's Xuanjia Army, there is probably a huge gap between his own troops and horses, and there is no chance of winning at all.

"withdraw!!!"

Thinking of this, Sun Ce ordered an emergency withdrawal without hesitation.

"Father, do you want to pursue me?"

Huang Xu saw him and asked hurriedly.

He had already heard about Sun Ce's name as the Little Overlord and wanted to fight him.

Su Zhan on the side was also eager to try.

Huang Zhong saw the two people's fighting spirit. With a full look and a cradle of fun, he shook his head and said:"Okay! Forget about chasing you!"

"Our main goal this time is to capture the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang;"

"As for Sun Ce, the Lord intends to let him go and drive him to Wu Commandery so that he can fight with Liu Biao, so don't pursue him this time!"

"Take Wan County first, and then gradually take over the entire Lujiang River!"

He knew the plan of his lord and all the military advisers.

He wanted to use Sun Ce, a fierce tiger, to disrupt the situation in Yangzhou, and then Sun Ce would cleanse the powerful gentry forces in the counties south of Yangzhou.

He would do it for the future lord to win the land east of the Yangtze River. Prepared.

Keeping this person is still useful, so naturally we can’t kill him.

"That's it! Pity!"

Huang Xu and Su Zhan both looked regretful when they heard this.

"Ha ha!

When Huang Zhong saw it, he couldn't help but laughed loudly and said,"What's so regrettable about this?" If you want to fight Sun Ce, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future! Just wait patiently!"

"Besides, you are still young, are you afraid that you will not be able to win the battle without it?"

"gone! Go to Wan County and make a speech to see if you can persuade Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, to join the lord!"

With that said, Huang Zhong led his army to turn around and arrived within a stone's throw outside the city. He sent someone to shout into the city:"My general, the Xuanjia Army under King Nai Qian, has been gradually promoted by Huang Zhong and Huang Han. Is the prefect Lu Kang in the city? My general invites you to talk"

"Um?"

Lu Kang on the city tower was still leading his army to resist the fierce attack of Sun Ce's army.

As a result, a reinforcement army suddenly came and easily repelled it, scaring away Sun Ce's army.

Lu Kang thought it was Sun Ce's trick at first. , but it was quickly determined that it was not the case.

They were the men of King Qian Su Xuan.

For a moment, Lu Kang's mood became complicated.

At this time, King Qian's men appeared in Lujiang, and they definitely couldn't be traveling.

That must also be for the purpose This one is from Lujiang County.

But Lu Kang also has complicated thoughts about Su Xuan.

Let’s talk about hostility and resentment! Not really.

After all, Su Xuan did bring a good life to the local people in Jingzhou.

This is very important to Lu Kang. For an official like Kang who was dedicated to the welfare of the people, he admired Su Xuan very much and had a strong sense of resonance.

However, Su Xuan's new policy harmed the interests of many nobles. It felt that it was aimed at the nobles in general, and he, the Lu family, He is also a great nobleman!

Naturally, Lu Kang was not happy with Su Xuan's newfound knowledge.

However, now was not the time to think about this. He seemed to have little choice.

He also heard the shouts outside the city. They were obviously prepared to be polite before fighting. He He had no choice but to respond.

He immediately replied:"I am Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang. I agree to your general's invitation!""

"However, please go back and tell your general that he will move back five miles first, and I will naturally go out of the city to talk about it."

"good! I'll send a message right now!"

The messenger immediately responded and turned around to report the situation to Huang Zhong.

In fact, with Huang Zhong's hearing, he easily heard Lu Kang's words.

But he still waited for the messenger to finish speaking. Then he waved his hand and said:"In that case, give me an order to have the army retreat five miles. Su Zhan, please stay with me to meet Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang!""

"Here!"

Immediately, Uncle Huang led his army to retreat, while Huang Zhong and Su Zhan stayed there and waited. When Lu Kang saw that the army outside the city had withdrawn five miles, he immediately nodded with satisfaction and took two personal guards with him. After leaving the city, they soon came to the opposite side of Huang Zhong and Su Zhan.

He hugged them and said,"Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, has met General Huang! I wonder what the general wants to discuss when he invites me here?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After hearing this, Huang Zhong smiled lightly and said:"Prefect Lu is so polite! I am a soldier and I like to speak straight to the point without making any detours (affj)!"

"Come to think of it, with your intelligence, Governor Lu Kang, you can also guess that our Xuanjia Army is here also for Lujiang;"

"I wonder if Governor Lu Kang is willing to surrender to my lord?"

When dealing with such smart people, Huang Zhong knows that relying on resourcefulness is meaningless.

It's better to be more direct, and it will appear more sincere, right?

"this..."

Lu Kang was stunned when he heard this. Obviously, he didn't expect Huang Zhong to come straight to the point.

This caught him off guard. Fortunately, his mentality was very stable. He quickly adjusted his mentality and immediately said,"General Huang is joking! King Qian and I are both ministers of the Han Dynasty. When it comes to surrendering, it's Isn't it a bit too much?"

"hehe! After hearing this, Huang

Zhong shook his head in a funny way and said,"Prefect Lu Kang is dishonest!" Are you trying to trick me into not understanding?"

"Now, over in Chang'an, the emperor has died. Now in this world, there is no emperor anymore. The Han Dynasty has officially entered the era of princes and kings!"

"It is not yet known whose hands the world will fall into in the future, but you said that everyone is a minister of the Han Dynasty, don't you feel that you are a bit deceiving yourself?"

"Did Sun Ce regard you and him as Han officials?"

"Did Yuan Shu regard you and him as Han officials?"

"Times have changed! I’m not here to convince you, and I don’t think I have the eloquence to convince you!"[]

"I just want to show our attitude to you by showing our chariots and horses. If you agree to surrender to our lord, Grand Administrator Lu Kang, not only will Lujiang be spared a war, but many people in Lujiang will be spared the suffering of war;"

"At the same time, my lord will definitely not treat you badly or the Lu family behind you. I also ask Prefect Lu Kang to think about it carefully and give me an accurate answer as soon as possible!"

"War or peace, it all depends on you!"

Unless he is an old fool or really has a bad brain, he doesn't believe that Lu Kang can't understand that this emperor no longer belongs to the Han Dynasty.

Lu Kang is obviously not stupid.

Hearing Huang Zhong's blunt words, his face turned slightly It's a bit ugly.

Obviously, Huang Zhong's straightforward style makes him uncomfortable.

But he understands that Huang Zhong's words have already expressed all his attitudes.

Fight?

To be honest, even Sun Ce protested and resisted, let alone If you look at it, you will know the more terrifying Xuanjia Army.

It seems that the Xuanjia Army only has 15,000 people. Even if you add thousands of Jiangxia Navy troops, there are only more than 20,000 people.

But the combat power is completely different from that of Sun Ce's army. What a concept!

The 100% fine iron armor alone is not something Sun Cejun can possess.

But if he chooses to join Su Xuan, Lu Kang is also a little unwilling.

However, under the choice of life and death, Lu Kang ultimately evaded the easy matter. , chose the side that was more beneficial to Lujiang and the Lu family.

In the end, he chose to submit to Su Xuan

"The general has mentioned this, and I don’t seem to have much choice!"

"I am willing to lead Lujiang to surrender to King Qian, and I also ask King Qian to treat the people of Lujiang well and treat me, the nobles of Lujiang well. Lu

Kang bowed deeply to Huang Zhong and said

"Prefect Lu, please come quickly to your relatives! Huang

Zhong was overjoyed when he saw it. He quickly helped Lu Kang up and said with a smile,"Congratulations, Prefect Lu Kang, for making the right choice!""

"Don't worry, our Lord has always been kind and righteous. As long as they are not guilty, our Lord will treat them kindly!"

"Regardless of whether they are common people or powerful nobles, our lord will always treat them equally. On this point, Governor Lu Kang, you can rest assured."

Lu Kang listened and smiled bitterly in his heart.

It is because he treats everyone equally that I feel even more uneasy!

Although Lujiang is much better than other places under his governance.

But I am wrong and corrupt within the powerful gentry, and as a The members of the gentry couldn't be more clear.

Basically, among all the powerful gentry, few have a completely clean foundation. When the family gets bigger, even if the discipline is strict, there will be a few scum at the same time.

The Lu family It was also unavoidable.

But he knew Su Xuan's new policy and his tolerance for evil.

He knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he didn't say anything more! He just secretly mourned for the powerful nobles in Lujiang County. Those who have committed crimes observed a second of silence.

These people obviously cannot escape Su Xuan’s upcoming purge.

Lu Kang has no idea of ​​shielding these people!

He just wants to check himself after returning. Regarding the situation at home, take the initiative to find those guilty people and take them into custody. Once Su Xuan sends someone to take over, send these people over!

I hope Su Xuan will take a lighter sentence because of their initiative.

At the same time, I also hope that Su Xuan can avoid excessive killing as much as possible.

"General Huang, no more words, please follow me into the city!"

As he said that, Lu Kang raised his hand and said

"Ha ha! good! Please wait a moment!"

Huang Zhong laughed loudly and immediately waved to Su Zhan on the side. Su Xuan immediately understood and rode towards Huang Xu.

Soon he came back with Huang Xu and an army of 20,000 people. Then, Huang Zhong was there. Under the guidance of Lu Kang, he entered Wanxian City and sent people to take over Wanxian County. At the same time, he arranged for the officials he brought to start taking over the government affairs system of Wanxian County. At the same time, he sent thousands of soldiers and horses to start cooperating with these officials and the undercover. Wei, began the purge and reform of Wan County.

After that, Huang Zhong and the others did not stay in Wan County for long. The next day, they led most of the main troops to continue to sweep and take over the county governance at all levels of Lujiang.

Even Sun Ce had already attacked before The cities below were no exception.

During the capture, Huang Zhong also discovered that the manpower in the cities that Sun Ce had previously occupied had been evacuated. ps: Please order first, customize, and support!.
