Lu Xuan and his party quickly rushed to the gate of Hefei North City and shouted loudly that Ji Ling and Huang Biao had been killed. The few soldiers at the city gate were so frightened that they dispersed and fled. No one resisted, and Lu Xuan easily killed them.
After Lu Xuan entered the city, as the news of Ji Ling's murder spread, the people in the city fled in all directions for fear of being affected.
Lu Xuan arranged for Jiang Qin to take two hundred black-armored soldiers to the county government office and be responsible for removing Huang Biao's money. Huang Biao, the county magistrate, served in Hefei and constantly exploited the people and made a lot of money, otherwise he would not have kept taking concubines.
Lu Xuan led the remaining black-armored soldiers to the military camp. As the news of Ji Ling's murder spread, even if there were a thousand people in the camp, they all collapsed in an instant. No one resisted and they all fled.
Lu Xuan led people into the camp and successfully found the granary and warehouse of the military camp.
Inside the granary, there are mountains of grain.
In the warehouse, there are boxes and boxes of precious jade articles, gold cakes, copper coins, etc., and there is countless money.
This was all collected by Ji Ling.
In fact, this was Yuan Shu's arrangement.
When Yuan Shu arrived in Jiujiang County, he still lived a life of luxury and lust. The generals he arranged to guard the local areas, although their main task was to guard the local areas, in fact, they also helped Yuan Shu search for money and food.
Although Yuan Shu had money and food, the local people were very miserable and their lives were very difficult.
The number of soldiers under Lu Xuan's command was limited and they could not take away food. Lu Xuan's original plan was to burn down the granary and end it all at once, but before setting the fire, Lu Xuan changed his mind.
He arranged for a small number of soldiers to spread the news in the city, and opened warehouses in the military camp to release grain for the people to grab.
Then, Lu Xuan loaded all the boxes of precious jade and money into the car and took them away quickly.
Lu Xuan couldn't control how the people grabbed food. What he valued was the money in his hands. For Lu Xuan, this amount of money was the basis for further recruiting troops. According to Lu Xuan's estimation, this money would be enough to recruit not only 10,000 to 20,000 people, but even 30,000 to 50,000 people.
Lu Xuan took all the money away, and when he arrived in Nancheng, Jiang Qin also came with people.
The two groups of soldiers and horses met and left quickly.
After the team was some distance away from Hefei City, Lu Xuan temporarily asked people to stop and rest.
Soldiers in the army need to eat and take stock at the same time.
Zhou Yu followed Lu Xuan and said, "My lord, we raided Hefei this time, took away all the money, and opened warehouses to store grain. Yuan Shu must be extremely angry. Especially after Ji Ling died, and one of Yuan Shu's generals died. It’s even more uncomfortable.”
Lu Xuan laughed and said, "I haven't arranged it yet for Ji Ling, but I will arrange it now. Gong Jin, prepare the pen and ink."
Zhou Yu asked people to bring pens, ink and paper and simply spread them on the ground.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and then started writing.
"Yuan Shu, thank you very much for the money you collected in Jiujiang County. I have accepted all the money. As a token of my gratitude, I offer you Ji Ling's head. You are welcome!"
A simple sentence, written quickly.
Lu Xuan packed up the letter and ordered: "Treat Ji Ling's head briefly with lime, then put the letter in and put it away together. Then, arrange for a soldier to disguise himself, and hurry up with eight hundred miles. As soon as possible, send it to Shouchun, and entrust the people to hand it over to Yuan Shu. And this news, try to have our people arrive when Sun Ce arrives."
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "My lord's methods are really damaging. However, I also like it."
Lu Xuan looked solemn and said: "Since Yuan Shu is our enemy, it doesn't matter what his methods are, as long as they are useful."
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Yuan Shu's rage is really exciting."
Lu Xuan also laughed.
If Yuan Shu is his enemy, he must be prepared to have trouble sleeping and eating. He will make Yuan Shu regret it completely.
Zhou Yu quickly made arrangements and finished handling Ji Ling's affairs. Taishi Ci followed Lu Xuan, looking even more excited, and reported: "Lord, we have made a profit this time, a big profit."
Lu Xuan asked: "How many specifically?"
Taishi Ci replied: "Currently, there are fifteen boxes of treasures and jades, twenty boxes of gold cakes, and a total of forty-five boxes of copper coins. All money is divided into boxes. There are too many to count. It is impossible to count them specifically. , we’ll have to talk about it after we get back.”
"here you go!"
Lu Xuan nodded and laughed.
This time, it was a sudden fortune.
A box weighs dozens or hundreds of kilograms. Dozens of boxes of copper coins are not very valuable, but precious jade articles and gold cakes are quite valuable.
After Lu Xuan and his party ate their dry food, they continued their journey south towards Lujiang County. When Lu Xuan left the border of Hefei and entered the territory of Lujiang County, Sun Ce went all the way north and finally returned to Shouchun.
Sun Ce returned to Shouchun and went directly to the General's Mansion to meet Yuan Shu without delay.
Sun Ce entered the house and saw Yuan Shu in the hall. After bowing, he looked sad and choked up: "General Yuan, our army was defeated in the attack on Shu County this time, and Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang were defeated." The three elders all died in Shu County. Of the six thousand elites, only two or three hundred came back."
Yuan Shu was a little surprised when he heard this.
He thought for a while and asked: "My dear nephew, the people under your command are all elites, how come they are all defeated?"
Sun Ce explained the situation of the battle in Shu County, focusing on Lu Xuan's shameless cunning. Sun Ce elaborated on the general situation, and then said: "General Yuan, Lu Xuan is too deceitful and cunning. He doesn't take you seriously at all. Lu Xuan must be wiped out, and the Lu family must be wiped out. Otherwise, it will be inevitable." become a serious problem.”
Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and thought carefully.
He was a little surprised by Sun Ce's defeat because it was such a miserable defeat.
After Yuan Shu thought about it for a while, he was even more happy. Sun Ce's people were completely gone. This was an opportunity to take advantage of Sun Ce. Especially without Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang, Sun Jian's old subordinates, it would be easier for him to take advantage of Sun Ce.
For him, it is actually more beneficial.
After all, the soldiers who died were not his direct descendants, but were old members of the Sun family.
Yuan Shu sighed and said: "My dear nephew, if you say so, I think Lu Xuan is difficult to deal with. If I want to deal with Lu Xuan, it will take a lot of effort. I really want to help you get revenge, but I am powerless."
Sun Ce thought about the hatred of Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others, eyes red, and said again: "I beg General Yuan to send troops to destroy Lu Xuan. Otherwise, Lu Xuan in Lujiang County will definitely become a serious problem for you."
Yuan Shu said confidently: "I am traveling north and south, how can I be afraid of a mere Lu Xuan?"
Sun Ce frowned upon hearing this.
On the one hand, Yuan Shu said that Lu Xuan was difficult to deal with and was weak-minded. On the other hand, he said that he was not afraid of Lu Xuan, and he was clearly unwilling to send troops.
Sun Ce was unwilling to give in and said again: "General Yuan, I went to attack Lujiang County this time because of you."
Yuan Shu's expression turned cold.
Sun Ce, this guy, can't understand the meaning behind the words.
Yuan Shu stopped talking in circles, leaned forward slightly, and said directly: "My dear nephew, to deal with Lu Xuan, I need to recruit troops. You have the jade seal left by Sun Jian in your hand. If I have the jade seal, I can naturally recruit more soldiers." Soldiers and horses, go south to attack Lu Xuan."
"I……"
Sun Ce's eyes widened.
Yuan Shu's thoughts turned out to be here.
Sun Ce did not expect that he would be robbed by Yuan Shu, and was shocked.
Yuan Shu sighed and said leisurely: "Everyone knows that the jade seal is in your Sun family. If you are not willing, I will not force you, everything is up to you. Anyway, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han are their enemies, and it has nothing to do with me. It’s about your Sun family.”
Sun Ce stared at Yuan Shu, feeling angry.
However, even if he is unwilling to hand over the jade seal, can he refuse? Once rejected, who will avenge Huang Gai and the others?
He cares about the imperial seal because it was passed down to him by his father. But compared to passing on the imperial seal, he hopes to take revenge more.
These dead people are all his relatives.
Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said, "General Yuan, as long as you wipe out the Lu family, give me the heads of Lu Xuan and Lu Kang, and let me pay homage to my dead relatives, I will personally give the jade seal to you."
A smile appeared on Yuan Shu's face, and he said softly: "My dear nephew, it's only polite to say that I'm giving you away. Since you agreed, I will personally mobilize troops to attack Lujiang and avenge you. I will definitely capture Lu Xuan for you. Xuan, I’ll leave it to you.”
Sun Ce sneered in his heart.
Yuan Shu was really disgusting, but there was nothing he could do. Presumably my father’s spirit in heaven would not object.
Sun Ce put on a grateful look on his face and said, "Thank you, General Yuan. As long as you do it, I will do what I say and will never shirk the responsibility."
Yuan Shu said confidently: "I believe you don't dare to shirk the blame. Don't worry, I promise to avenge you."
"Report!"
At this moment, an attendant entered the hall. The attendant held a brocade box and said respectfully: "General, someone has sent a brocade box from outside. He specified that it was to be delivered to you, saying that it was a gift for you."
