Lu Yi said goodbye to Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi, and rushed directly to Wu County with all the civil and military officials.
At the gate of Wu County City, the city defense soldiers also changed!
Before Lu Yi went on the expedition, the city defense soldiers in Wu County were divided equally between Cheng Pu's soldiers and tribes from major families.
Now, they are all soldiers under Cheng Pu's account.
The general who defended the city was also a very unfamiliar face.
Lu Yi left Huang Gai, Han Dang and Song Qian to lead the army stationed outside the city. When he led the civil servants and generals into the city, the generals who defended the city were still standing on the wall at the gate of the city, overlooking Lu Yi and others, and did not even greet them.
Lu Yi ignored it and continued into the city.
Taishi Ci looked up at the general who defended the city and shook his head.
The people of the Sun clan are asking for their own destruction.
Do you really think it’s still the Bo Fu period?
Now that the Lord has returned victoriously, at this juncture, he actually wants to seize power?
Taishi Ci sighed secretly and sighed in his heart: "Bo Fu, Bo Fu, it's not me, Tai Shi Ci, who is unjust, but your people are too stupid!"
"They couldn't seize power before you died."
"Now, my lord has achieved a great victory. He has captured Lujiang County and Xuzhou successively, laying the foundation for our future peace in Jiangdong."
"You want to seize power at this time? Who will support you?"
"What a way to die!"
Compared with the deserted city gate, after Lu Yi and others entered the city, both sides of the avenue were surrounded by people from Wu County.
Seeing Lu Yi and others coming, these people cheered.
With the capture of Lujiang County and Xuzhou, the battle report has already reached Jiangdong!
This also means that in the next few years, or even decades, as long as Lujiang County and Xuzhou are not lost, Jiangdong itself will be peaceful and stable without war!
In this troubled world, it is so difficult to live a peaceful life!
Now that Jiangdong can actually achieve this situation first, how can the people be unhappy?
Some people even came up carrying live chickens, ducks, and eggs.
Shi Huan quickly ordered the Danyang elite to drive away the people on both sides of the road.
If there is an assassin among them, the consequences will be disastrous!
Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Yan Xiang, Liu Ye and others were also smiling from ear to ear.
This was the first time they had experienced this kind of scene where people lined the streets to welcome him.
Looking at the joy on the faces of the people, it all comes from the heart, giving people a feeling as bright as the sunshine in spring.
A young girl even ran up and put a piece of handkerchief in Taishi Ci's hand.
Taishi Ci looked at the handkerchief in his hand, dumbfounded.
Tian Yu followed Liu Ye and grinned as he looked at the people on both sides of the avenue who were constantly trying to break through the Danyang elite encirclement and expulsion.
These common people are somewhat "unscrupulous" and are not afraid of Danyang elites hurting them.
Lu Yi led everyone to break through the "blocking" of the people and rushed to the Wu County government office.
That’s why the common people didn’t come up.
There are also heavy troops deployed at the gate of the government office.
As soon as Lu Yi and others arrived, a general in armor walked out, came to Lu Yi, and said to Lu Yi: "Madam has received a letter from the head of the Lu family, and asked people to prepare a banquet for all the soldiers."
Tian Yu and others were suddenly stunned.
The head of the Lu family?
Mrs. Wu?
How arrogant!
Sun Ren was originally with Lu Xun and others.
She never expected to encounter such a situation.
Now, seeing what the general said, Sun Ren rushed up and said to the general: "Brother Bohai, why are you here? And who is the head of the Lu family? Doesn't brother Bohai know that my husband is already the lord of Jiangdong?" Are you here? Isn't mother at home? Didn't you tell me this? "
Bohai is the name of Sun He, Sun Ce's younger brother.
Previously, Sun He had been serving as a captain in Fuchun County.
This time, he actually rushed over!
When Sun He saw Sun Ren coming forward, he smiled and said, "Miss, you have grown a lot! My wife and the second young master are waiting for you inside. Come in quickly!"
Sun Ren did not go in, but said to Sun He seriously: "My husband is the lord of Jiangdong, so naturally he will go in first!"
Sun He's face darkened.
Only then did Sun Ren realize that something was wrong, and turned to Lu Yi and said, "I'll go see my mother first and ask her what happened."
After saying that, he ran into the government office.
Sun He then made a gesture of invitation to Lu Yi and others.
Lu Yi led everyone into the government office hall.
Inside, a banquet has indeed been set up.
Servants brought food and drinks and kept coming and going.
Lu Yi and others entered the hall and were about to take their seats.
But a voice sounded from inside: "Madam and the Second Young Master are here!"
Everyone looked towards the innermost part of the hall.
I saw Mrs. Wu walking out with the support of Sun Quan and surrounded by several big men.
Mrs. Wu went straight to the main seat.
Sun Quan stood in front of the seat next to her.
Several big men were positioned on the far left and right not far in front of Mrs. Wu.
Missing Sun Ren who has already entered!
Mrs. Wu looked at Lu Yi and other civil and military officials and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work on this expedition, please take your seats!"
Shi Huan was furious.
Lu Yi is the master of Jiangdong, but someone else takes the master position!
Several big men brought out by Mrs. Wu all drew their swords and looked at Shi Huan and others fiercely.
Outside the hall, the sound of swords being unsheathed was heard.
But they are the servants of the government.
Shi Huan was about to attack.
Lu Yi grabbed his wrist and said to Madam Wu with a smile: "Thank you Madam for preparing the banquet!"
After saying that, he pulled Shi Huan to the side and sat down.
There were hundreds of civil and military officials, but no one sat down.
Who dares to sit in such a tense situation?
Once you sit down, you acknowledge the fact that Lu Yi is not the person in charge of Jiangdong now, and you have already taken sides.
Seeing that all the civil and military officials did not dare to sit down and were standing in silence, Mrs. Wu laughed, knelt down and said to Sun Quan: "Zhongmou, this time the Lu family leader will lead the princes to the north for an expedition. They have achieved great military exploits, as your eldest brother’s younger brother, you should commend them for their military exploits!”
Sun Quan looked at several big men with some fear.
Among them, a young man in his weak years came out.
This person was none other than Sun Fu, Sun Ce's cousin and now the governor of Luling County.
After Sun Ce died, he immediately wanted to bring troops to Wu County to discuss taking over the position of Lord of Jiangdong.
Or him.
Or Sun Quan.
He had no objections.
What he didn't expect was that just after his troops were organized, the position of the Lord of Jiangdong was already clear.
not him.
Nor is it Sun Quan.
But the head of the Lu family, Lu Yi!
The little head of the Lu family, a minister, dared to rob his cousin of the inheritance he had paid for with his life. How could he give up?
He immediately contacted the Sun clan members in Qiantang County and Fuchun County, especially Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing, and jointly planned the plan to seize the throne.
Finally, they came to Wu County, and after discussing with Mrs. Wu, they unanimously decided to support Sun Quan as the lord of Jiangdong.
Now, seeing that Sun Quan was actually afraid of Lu Yi and these civil and military officials, Sun Fu immediately stepped forward to support Sun Quan.
He grabbed a thick scroll from Sun Quan's hand and opened it. Sun Fu glanced at everyone coldly and said: "Gentlemen, although my brother Sun Ce is dead, it does not mean that there is no one in my Sun family. Bullying orphans and widowed mothers , this is not the behavior of a man."
"If you are stubborn, you are betraying Jiangdong."
"You know the consequences."
"Now Wu County is full of soldiers from my Sun family. I hope you will do your best and create a prosperous Jiangdong under the leadership of my lord Sun Quan."
Handing the opened scroll back to Sun Quan, Sun Fu said: "My lord, please commend me!"
Sun Quan then took the scroll again and read nervously: "The head of the Lu family has made great contributions to the Northern Expedition this time. However, he is already the governor of Guangling County and his official position cannot be promoted. Therefore, I will reward you with a thousand pieces of gold and three hundred beauties. The fiefdom of Wu County will be increased by 300 miles!"
Lu Yi looked at Sun Quan, Mrs. Wu and Sun Fu quietly.
Sun Quan did not dare to look at him, so he could only continue to read: "Old General Cheng Pu, for his great merit this time, he was granted the title of governor of Lujiang County and a fiefdom of three hundred miles in Shu County."
The whole hall could hear the sound of needle dropping, except for Sun Quan's continuous voice of commendation.
But no one responded.
Mrs. Wu watched this scene with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Sun Fu looked at everyone with a gloomy face.
This scene was really beyond his expectation.
Not to mention the 70% of civil and military officials who had gone to Ou'a Port to welcome the return of Lu Yi and others.
Even the other 30%, those officials who did not go to greet him but said hello to him, none of them came forward!
It wasn't until Sun Quan finished reading all the commendations that Lu Yi stood up, looked past Sun Quan and Sun Fu, and looked at Madam Wu calmly: "Madam, where is Ren'er? Ren'er just came in."
Mrs. Wu said: "She is tired, I let her rest in the bedroom."
Sun Fu said coldly: "Although Renmei is betrothed to you, she is not married yet, so of course she is at home. You——"
"Presumptuous!" A roar shook the entire hall.
Everyone bowed their heads.
Sun Quan was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and looked at Lu Yi in front of him in horror.
This was the first time Lu Yi had roared.
Even though it was Mrs. Wu, she was so frightened that she shivered.
Sun Fu took a step back, breathing a little faster.
His right hand couldn't help but grasp the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Lu Yi glanced at Madam Wu and Sun Fu, ignored them, and said to Shi Huan, "Go and invite Madam out."
Shi Huan glanced at Sun Fu and quickly entered the hall.
Sun Fu was about to stop him.
But facing Lu Yi's gaze, Sun Fu stopped abruptly.
After a while, Shi Huan came out with Sun Ren.
The left side of Sun Ren's face was red.
Seeing Mrs. Wu again, Sun Ren's face was full of hatred.
Lu Yi took her hand and said, "Go home."
After saying that, he turned around and left directly.
Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials followed him.
After a while, there were only a few people in the entire hall.
