The fighting in Shu County lasted for more than two months.
Jiangdong Army, led by Sun Ce, launched an extreme struggle with the Shuxian defenders.
On the surface, the fight was earth-shaking.
In fact, no one was hurt.
But to make it realistic enough for the trick.
Every few days, Sun Ce would have a small group of soldiers sneak back to Longshu at night.
Create the illusion of increasingly losing troops and generals.
After more than two months, there were only more than 3,000 "surviving" Jiangdong soldiers outside Shu County.
During this period.
Yu Laoliang would go out of the city at night every once in a while.
Report Lu Kang's condition to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce will also ask Yu Ji to bring some good supplements into the city.
To extend Lu Kang’s life.
Anyway, I got a lot of good things from Zheng Bao and other powerful people.
Sun Ce basically used everything that could be used.
But even so.
Lu Kang's physical condition is still getting worse.
It's a miracle that I can barely hold on until today.
This night.
Yu Laoliang sneaked out of the city again and returned to the Jiangdong military camp.
Unlike before, his expression was extremely heavy.
"Lord, the boss may not be able to survive tonight. He said he wants to see you one last time."
Sun Ce suddenly stood up:
"What? Sir... let's go! Let's go into the city!"
After 1 hour.
Sun Ce came to the prefect's mansion with only his two personal generals, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong.
Appeared next to Lu Kang's hospital bed.
"Sir, I'm here."
Sun Ce sat beside the bed and softly called Lu Kang, who had a sallow complexion.
Hearing Sun Ce's call, Lu Kang tried his best to open his dull eyes.
A dry palm fell on the back of Sun Ce's hand.
"Bo Fu, my time is coming. Ahem... I won't live much longer. I feel relieved to leave Lujiang to you."
"But I still have one thing that I can't let go of. Ahem... I hope you can finish it for me."
Sun Ce held Lu Kang's skinny palm with his backhand and comforted him softly:
"Sir, just say that no matter what happens, even if you go through fire and water, Sun Ce will definitely do it for you."
Lu Kang turned his head with difficulty, and his eyes fell on Lu Xun, who was waiting in the room.
When Lu Xun saw his grandfather looking at him, he hurriedly walked up obediently.
The look in someone's eyes that wants a knife cannot be hidden.
Ladu's affectionate eyes couldn't be hidden even more.
Lu Kang didn't speak, but the emotional changes in his eyes said everything.
Sun Ce solemnly made a guarantee:
"Don't worry, sir, I will take good care of this child. Sun Ce swears here that as long as I have a bite to eat, he will never let this child starve."
Lu Kang's eyes moved to Sun Ce's face.
"Bo Fu...Actually, this child is not my biological grandson, but from my cousin's lineage. This child lost his father when he was young and has been with me since he was a child."
"Ahem... Maybe I am not lucky enough to enjoy family happiness. I have two sons. The eldest son died young and the youngest son, Lu Ji, was only 16 years old and had not yet married and had children."
"I have always treated this child as my biological grandson. After my death, I hope you can take more care of Lu Ji and this child."
Sun Ce made another promise with tears in his eyes:
"I will do my best to take good care of the Lu family!"
Lu Kang nodded slightly:
"In that case, the Lu family will be left to you."
What Lu Kang gave to Sun Ce was more than just an entrustment.
There is also the financial resources and connections that the Lu family has accumulated for nearly a century.
You know, the Lu family is one of the four major families in Jiangdong.
Of course, there is no need to say much about influence.
If Lu Kang's eldest son had not died early, his youngest son Lu Ji had just grown up and would not have been able to shoulder the burden of the family.
Lu Kang would never hand over his entire family to someone with a foreign surname.
Three generations of people have been separated from each other, bringing the Lu family to its most dangerous juncture.
In such a situation, Lu Kang can trust someone.
Only Sun Ce.
"Ji'er, grandson, you must do your best to assist Bo Fu from now on, remember?"
Lu Kang used his last bit of strength to warn his children and grandchildren.
Lu Ji stepped forward and kowtowed respectfully to Lu Xun in front of the bed.
He burst into tears and said:
"Father (grandfather), we remember."
That night.
Lu Kang, the head of the Lu family and the governor of Lujiang, passed away.
Jiangdong's army took advantage of the situation and "killed" into Shu County, and Sun Ce became the new master of Lujiang.
Early the next morning.
Sun Ce gave Lu Kang a grand burial under the guise of buying people's hearts.
at the funeral.
He said to Lu Ji and Lu Xun:
"I promised you, Mr. Boss, that I will never go back on my word. From now on, you will be a member of my Jiangdong Army."
"If anyone dares to bully you, 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers will draw their swords for you!"
Lu Ji's uncle and nephew bowed down and thanked them with tears in their eyes:
"Thank you lord, we will do our best to assist lord and help him drink from the Yangtze River as soon as possible!"
Apart from Sun Ce in front of them, they really had no one they could rely on.
Sun Ce's big hands fell on the shoulders of his uncle and nephew respectively.
Patted gently:
"You are still young, and your most important task is to learn knowledge. I have a book school in Wan County, and several of my brothers are studying with Master Lu there."
"If you don't have any objections, I will invite Master Lu to teach you. Don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills, learn more skills, and in the future you can become a learned person that everyone respects, just like Mr. Lao."
The uncle and nephew of the Lu family looked happy and thanked Sun Ce again:
"Thank you, my lord!"
Who is Lu Zhi and how powerful he is.
The uncle and nephew knew it very well.
Being able to learn from Lu Zhi will indeed be of great help to their future growth.
In addition, Sun Ce seemed extremely considerate.
Taking into account the issue of filial piety for uncles and nephews of the Lu family, it was decided to invite Lu Zhi to Shu County.
To prevent uncles and nephews from the Lu family from delaying their studies while observing filial piety.
Besides, the Lu family's uncle and nephew also understood one thing.
Neng and several of Sun Ce's brothers studied together under Lu Zhi.
This shows that Sun Ce does not regard the Lu family's uncle and nephew as outsiders.
Instead, he regards them as his own family.
This made the uncles and nephews of the Lu family who had just lost their relatives full of respect for Sun Ce.
The favorability level is like running water, rising "miso miso".
Of course, there are also the effects of Jiangdong Xiaobawang's skills.
Anyone who recognizes Sun Ce as their master will automatically be full of loyalty.
Half a month later.
Lu Zhi and others came to Shu County from Wan County.
Also coming with him were the Sun family and the two brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun.
Sun Ce took over Shu County from Lu Kang and became the uncrowned king of Lujiang.
Naturally, he wanted to bring all the children to his side.
You can't always stay at Qiao's house.
Shu County is the administrative seat of Lujiang and also the military, political, cultural and economic center of Lujiang.
The conditions in all aspects are better than those in Wan County.
Of course the Sun family will move to Shu County.
However, what surprised Sun Ce.
Duke Qiao also came over. He didn't just come by himself.
I also brought Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao together.
The moment he saw Sun Ce, Duke Qiao impatiently asked his soul:
"I said, Bo Fu, your battle is over. When will you fulfill your promise and marry my two daughters?"
