After watching Gao Shun leave with Yan Zhen in the trapped camp, Lu Yi met the other civil and military officials and met them one by one.
After meeting, Lu Yi led everyone to Wu County.
Zhu Zhi is also very excited today.
He saw that Zhu Ran was strong again.
Moreover, compared to the previous blundering, Zhu Ran is now visibly stable.
Zhu Zhi's heart was heavy when he thought that Lu Yi had brought Zhu Ran and more than a dozen teenagers with him to train him.
This time the Sun clan members rushed to Wu County to cause trouble. He had expected it.
However, he did not notify Lu Yi in advance to take precautions.
Speaking of which, he was also troubled in his heart.
He was very grateful to Lu Yi, and he had no objection to Lu Yi being his lord.
The problem is that the people of the Sun clan are, after all, the clansmen of Sun Jian and the Major General.
He was promoted by Sun Jian.
The major general was also very polite to him.
Whichever way he leaned, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, he pretended not to know.
But looking at Zhu Ran like this, Zhu Zhi felt even more guilty.
After hesitating for a while, Zhu Zhi rode forward and caught up with Lu Yi who was at the front.
Gu Yong and others who were originally talking to Lu Yi were a few steps behind.
Lu Yi looked at Zhu Zhi and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong with Governor Zhu?"
Zhu Zhi glanced around and saw that no one was approaching, and then said to Lu Yi: "My lord, you still need to be more careful. This time the Sun clan members came with great momentum and were well prepared."
"Does the Lord find these people at the port a little unfamiliar?"
Lu Yi nodded and said, "There are some, but they are still the soldiers that General Cheng brought before."
Zhu Zhi said: "Yes, they are still soldiers brought out by General Cheng. However, they are all soldiers brought out, so there are some differences."
"The soldiers brought out by General Cheng are divided into two types."
"One is that he has not led them for long, and these soldiers do not have a strong sense of belonging."
"On the contrary, these soldiers are more or less connected with major families, and they are more inclined to the lord."
"The other one is that he led them for a long time and fought with General Sun and Major General all year round."
Zhu Zhi did not continue on this matter, but added: "Also, when I rushed from Yuzhang, I found that Luling County was in chaos. From time to time, the people would be oppressed by bullies, and there were even mountains. The thieves openly invaded the village."
After Zhu Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lu Yi looked back at Zhu Zhi and smiled.
In the past, a lot of financial and material resources were spent on Zhu Zhi, but after all, there was no wrong payment.
As a two-generation veteran of the Sun family, although he is still wavering between the Sun family and himself, he is still leaning towards himself now.
Although the soldiers who changed defense at Ou'a Port were still soldiers brought out by Cheng Pu.
However, it was obvious that the soldiers who changed defenses this time were loyal to the Sun family. They were veterans who had fought with Sun Jian and Sun Ce all the way and had a strong sense of belonging to the Sun family.
The governor of Luling County is Sun Fu, Sun Ce's cousin.
Under normal circumstances, there are county guards and soldiers. How can a county tolerate bullies and bandits?
Now it appears.
This shows that when Sun Fu came to Wu County this time, he secretly mobilized a large number of soldiers from Luling County.
This is rebellion!
It seems that the Sun family has learned a lesson.
The last time they were forced to give up the position of Lord of Jiangdong to themselves, they simply thought that it was just that the Sun family did not have enough soldiers in Wu County at that time, and Wu County was controlled by major families.
This time, they want to win the championship with force.
Lu Yi shook his head.
The people of the Sun clan are indeed very brave in fighting.
Whether it was Sun Jian, Sun Ce, or Sun Bi and others whose clan was exterminated by Yuan Shu.
However, they have little political consciousness.
This time, if they don’t want dignity, then I will help them exit with dignity!
It's just a pity that I always wanted to leave some seeds for the Sun family.
They don't want it.
No one is to blame.
Lu Yi recruited Cheng Pu.
Cheng Puce came immediately and said doubtfully: "My lord."
Lu Yi said: "I said before that when I return to Jiangdong, I will start to recuperate and prepare for the war in Jingzhou."
Cheng Pu felt a little uncontrollably excited.
The Lord has said that he will appoint himself as the Commander-in-Chief of the Left to command the entire Jiangdong army and be responsible for training the navy.
Cheng Pu hurriedly said: "Yes!"
Lu Yi said: "Don't go to Wu County for the time being. Now, go back to the district and draw up a list to assist your manpower and prepare to take over the position of Zuo Governor."
"The Commander-in-Chief Zuo is the leader of my Jiangdong military generals. He is no longer as simple as the Central Guards Army before."
"Those who assist you must be fair, capable, and absolutely loyal."
"I heard that Ou'a Port changed its defense after we left. They are all veterans who followed you before."
"You understand the current situation."
Cheng Pu: "."
How could he not understand what Lu Yi said?
The Sun clan came to make trouble.
The people who changed defense at Ou'a Port were all his former veterans and were very loyal to the Sun clan.
From what Lu Yi said, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with his behavior.
He was determined to appoint himself as the Governor of the Left, the head of the generals, but he still seemed to have an eye for the Sun clan members.
Cheng Pu gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and said, "Master, I will change defense immediately."
Lu Yi stopped him and said: "Take Zhu Zhi with you. Let Zhu Zhi take over the port of Ou'a, and you lead the troops upstream immediately, rush to Yuzhang to take over, and then control Luling County, and as the left governor, Summon the soldiers from Luling County to go back. Anyone who doesn't go back will be regarded as rebels and will be killed without mercy!"
Cheng Pu's heart skipped a beat.
Are you planning to kill all the Sun family?
Cheng Pu's face was a little pale.
Lu Yi said: "You can go and think at the same time."
"Alternatively, it would be good for Jiangdong to return to the hands of the Sun clan."
"I can understand if you choose this way. After all, you are a two-generation veteran of the Sun family."
"It's just that after I die, when the Sun family leads you north to dominate the world, please take the time to pay homage to me and tell you the good news."
Cheng Pu stared blankly as Lu Yi left on horseback with all the civil and military officials.
His face looked uncertain.
Let the Sun family take people like themselves north to dominate the world?
Zhu Zhi was reminded by Lu Yi's people and stopped.
Seeing that Cheng Pu didn't move, Zhu Zhice immediately went over and said, "Brother, why did the master ask me to follow you?"
Cheng Pu then raised his head, looked at Zhu Zhi and said, "My Lord appointed me as the Commander-in-Chief of the Left to command the entire Jiangdong army."
Zhu Zhi looked ecstatic and hurriedly said: "This is a great event! Congratulations, brother! You are worthy of being the pillar of my Jiangdong!"
There was no joy on Cheng Pu's face, but he said quietly: "My lord asked me to change the defense of Ou'a Port. You will be the one to guard it from now on."
Zhu Zhi: "."
I did well in Yuzhang, why did I suddenly switch defenses and come back?
Just as he was about to ask, Cheng Pu sighed and said, "I will go to Yuzhang to replace you, lead troops to pacify Luling County, and summon other Luling County soldiers to return to Luling. Anyone who does not return will be regarded as a rebel and will be killed. .”
Zhu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Cheng Pu continued: "My lord said, perhaps we can also support the Sun family to regain power. However, after his death, when the Sun family leads us north to dominate the world, we should pay homage to him and tell him the good news."
Zhu Zhi's expression gradually changed from shock to sadness.
"Choose one of the two?" Zhu Zhi's voice was trembling.
Cheng Pu nodded.
The two of them lowered their heads and said nothing as they rode back to the area.
After a long time, Zhu Zhicai gritted his teeth and said: "Young General, I can't win Hefei and Xuzhou in one year."
Cheng Pu nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord is young, but he has the demeanor of a king. He is good at recognizing and using people, and he is also very benevolent and righteous."
"In the battle of Xuzhou Polder, he asked me to serve as deputy to Guangling Cheng Lu Su. He easily captured the Polder and captured Lu Bu alive, which was the great achievement of capturing Xuzhou within a few days."
"I'm sure that even if General Sun Jian and Lord Sun Ce are still alive, let alone the current Sun family, they can't do it."
"But how can I kill them?"
Zhu Zhi clenched his hands into fists and said in a low voice: "Then, we sit and watch the civil strife in Jiangdong, the death of the master, and the Sun family regaining power? I am unwilling."
"This juncture is a great time to recuperate and recuperate, and it is the foundation for us to seize the world in the future. The Sun clan members do not think about the future, but want to seize power and get the position of lord."
"Have they ever had the big picture?"
"Furthermore, if the lord really gives way to the Sun family, will the major families agree? We finally have a great situation in Jiangdong, and may it continue to extend?"
"One more thing, brother, you may not know that after Sun Fu came to Wu County, he went to the academy and stabbed several students with his sword."
"It is impossible for any major family to accept such a Sun family member."
After hearing what Zhu Zhi said, Cheng Pu raised his head and looked at Zhu Zhi.
Zhu Zhi met Cheng Pu's gaze, forced a smile, raised his right hand, and swore to God: "If there is even half a lie, I am willing to be struck by thunder and die miserably. And don't forget, I am the same as you, brother." , was also promoted by General Sun, and he was also the master of the Sun family for two generations."
"If the young general is still alive and my lord is allowed to speak out, I will not hesitate to support the young general and the Sun family."
"But now——"
Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi sighed together.
After a while, Cheng Pu said: "I hope that when I go to Huangquan in the future and see General Sun Jian and Lord Sun Ce, they can understand us! I'm going to Yuzhang, and I'll leave this place to you."
Zhu Zhi watched Cheng Pu go away and said loudly: "In the next life, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for them!"
