In the hall, everyone was talking a lot.
The court's arrangement caught Lujiang off guard. If the imperial court did not arrange for Liu Yao to serve as the governor of Yangzhou, Lu Xuan would be the governor of Yangzhou.
In fact, Lu Xuan could ignore the court's appointment, because all the princes in the world were like this. I occupy the place and lead the state as a pastor or a prefect. When people from the court come, I drive them away.
The problem is the court's arrangements, which are disgusting.
It can also cause trouble.
Zhang Zhao thought for a while, then stood up and said: "My lord, the imperial court arranged for Liu Yao to serve as the governor of Yangzhou, which has some influence on us, but in fact it has not much influence."
"The imperial court is controlled by two Xiliang warriors, Li Jue and Guo Si. We declare to the outside world that the traitorous ministers control the imperial court and blackmail the emperor. Liu Yao's appointment as the governor of Yangzhou is not the emperor's order. It is Li Jue who suppresses you."
"In addition, Liu Yao has not entered Yangzhou yet. He will take advantage of this period to quickly publicize the fact that the lord has served as the shepherd of Yangzhou, so as to solidify the news in the hearts of the people."
"The people agree that even if Liu Yao comes to Yangzhou, it will not help."
Zhang Zhao had a tough attitude and said: "In a word, we don't recognize Liu Yao and just expel him."
Lu Xuan nodded.
He didn't express his position and looked at the other people.
Kuai Liang stood up and said: "It would be best if we could expel Liu Yao and prevent him from taking up his post. The key is that Liu Yao cannot be expelled unless he comes to Lujiang County. The Lord only has Lujiang County, Danyang County, Wu County and other places. None of it is in our hands."
"Under the current situation, I think Liu Yao's choices are, first, to go to Danyang County, and second, to Wu County. Between Danyang and Wu County, Danyang County has the greatest possibility."
Kuai Liang's eyes flashed with wisdom.
Lu Xuan asked: "Why?"
Kuai Liang replied: "During my time as a humble official, I learned in detail about the conditions of the counties in Yangzhou. To the east of Lujiang County is Danyang County, which has many mountainous areas. The southern area of Danyang County is almost entirely surrounded by mountains."
"To the north of Danyang County are Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang, and Sun Bi, the captain of Danyang."
"This is the power left by Sun Jian."
"When Sun Jian died, part of the army was detained by Yuan Shu, and the other part was in the hands of Wu Jing and Sun Bi, who went to Danyang to encircle Shanyue on Yuan Shu's order."
"Yuan Shu may have had the intention of killing someone with a borrowed sword, and wanted to use Shanyue to weaken Wu Jing and Sun Ben. Unexpectedly, Wu Jing and Sun Ben went to Danyang County, defeated Shanyue in the north of Danyang, and then garrisoned in Danyang County."
"Wu Jing and Sun Ben have not participated in any of Yuan Shu's actions. It can be seen that the two people probably followed the instructions but not the propaganda. They generally followed Yuan Shu's arrangements and actually formed their own system."
"Such a thoughtful person will definitely go to greet Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao when he sees him, and use Liu Yao to enhance his influence."
"Liu Yao is an empty shell."
"He will only be bullied if he goes to serve under Yuan Shu. Therefore, as long as Wu Jing sends people to contact him and the two sides hit it off, Liu Yao will definitely go to Danyang County. As for Wu County, the power of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, is not weak."
"Perhaps Xu Gong and the big families in Wu County will support Liu Yao and take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. However, it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to welcome Liu Yao to Wu County to become a father. He is a local emperor, and he has to welcome a father back to provide for him. , no one wants to."
Kuai Liang said: "This is my judgment."
Lu Xuan was filled with admiration in his heart.
Kuai Liang is awesome!
Historically, Liu Yao was appointed governor of Yangzhou. Liu Yao did not dare to take up the post at first. Wu Jing and Sun Bi sent people to contact him and brought Liu Yao to Qu'a to establish a foothold.
It was only later that internal strife broke out.
Lu Xuan said directly: "I agree with Kuai Liang's analysis. According to this conclusion, our main battlefield is actually in Danyang County, which is where we will attack from the beginning."
Zhou Yu took over and said: "My lord, I agree with Shangshu Kuai's analysis. But I think that when we attack Danyang next, the battlefield will not stop here. The entire power of Yangzhou will be mobilized because of our start of the war."
Lu Xuan asked: "How to say?"
Zhou Yu analyzed: "We are hostile to Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Shu has always wanted revenge in his heart. The imperial court arranged for Liu Yao to come to Yangzhou. Once Liu Yao establishes a foothold in Danyang County, and we start a war with Liu Yao, Yuan Shu will most likely take advantage of it."
"Yuan Shu will not support Liu Yao, but he will definitely deal with Lujiang County."
"Of course, as Kuai Shangshu mentioned, the Wujun clan is likely to add fuel to the flames and support Liu Yao behind the scenes. Therefore, in the next battle, not only Liu Yao, but also Yuan Shu and the Wujun clan will be considered."
Zhou Yu said: "This is a big battle. Only if we win this battle can we have a chance to control Yangzhou."
Zhang Zhao took the initiative and said: "My lord, I agree with the analysis of Kuai Liang and Zhou Yu. Now that we have judged the situation, we must deal with them separately. Yuan Shu arranged for Tai Shici to contain them in Hefei. On the Wu Jun side, he sent people to appease the Wu Jun clan."
"As long as the big families in Wu County don't move, Xu Gong won't be a big concern."
"Without the intervention of Yuan Shu and the Wujun clan, Liu Yao is left in Danyang County and can directly attack. But back to the Wujun clan, the previous treatment of the Wujun clan merchants offended people. Now, we need to arrange for people to ease the situation. relation."
Kuai Liang objected: "No need, as long as the Wujun clan doesn't take action. Once they do, they will be dealt with together."
Zhang Zhao looked serious and objected: "There is obviously a way to defeat the enemy without fighting, so why do we have to fight? Temporarily give the benefits to the Wu Jun clan, and in exchange for their support, the lord can capture Danyang and further seize Wu. County. When it’s time to give in, we still have to give in. This is not admitting defeat, it is a strategic concession.”
Kuai Liang said solemnly: "I don't agree. If you give in now for a small profit, do you have to give in when more interests are involved in the future? If the lord has this strength, he can fight. The one who fights on his own is the most stable. .”
Lu Xuan raised his hand and pressed down to stop the argument between Kuai Liang and Zhang Zhao.
Lu Xuan looked at Gu Yong below and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
Everyone looked over at once.
It suddenly dawned on me.
This is the patriarch of the Gu family and the person with the right to speak. Gu Yong has not expressed his position yet.
Gu Yong smiled and said: "In a humble position, I suggest fighting, no need to compromise. In order to stabilize the big families in Wu County, we choose to compromise, and the price we will pay in the future will be even greater. To suppress these big families, we must let them see their strength. Then, show kindness." To win over. To use both kindness and power is the way to go. Compromising with them will only result in their being slapped in the face."
Lu Xuan praised: "Brother-in-law is right, let's start the war directly. But before starting the war, send a letter to the Lu family and the Gu family. I am the shepherd of Yangzhou. I want to go to war with Liu Yao. Please support the Lu family and the Gu family."
"I don't ask them to help me, as long as they remain neutral."
"If they don't interfere, there are only two battlefields in Yuan Shu and Danyang County, and the war will not be difficult."
"If they are unwilling and insist on getting involved, then fight to the end."
"In fact, if they jump out to support Liu Yao, I can solve them all. On the contrary, I can solve the big problem of Wu County once and for all. The local land is in the hands of the big families. If they don't jump out, how can I use the land to resettle the people? Woolen cloth?"
"I hope they support Liu Yao."
A solemn murderous look flashed through Lu Xuan's eyes.
He wanted to see if the Lu family of Wu County, as his own family, would support him or outsiders?
Those who support outsiders will be killed if necessary.
Killing them will free up the cages for birds and resettle more people.
When Kuai Liang heard Lu Xuan's words, a smile appeared on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey my orders."
Zhang Zhao did not object again. Lu Xuan had made his decision. There was no need to argue. He bowed and said, "I humbly obey my orders."
Everyone, no more arguments.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Our general direction has been decided. Next, announce that I will serve as Yangzhou Shepherd. In addition, further arrangements will be made for the spring plowing. After the spring plowing is over, troops will be sent to attack Danyang County. This year's mission is to capture Danyang and Wu County. .”
"Here!"
Everyone answered in unison.
Once the policy is clear, everyone will focus on the strategy.
In a short period of time, the news that Lu Xuan was appointed as the shepherd of Yangzhou spread. For the people of Lujiang County, it was natural for Lu Xuan to serve as the pastor of Yangzhou. Some people who had devout faith in Lu Xuan wished that Lu Xuan would become the emperor.
The emperor doesn't care whether they live or die.
Lu Xuan takes care of them.
There was no reaction from Lujiang County, but the news about Lu Xuan spread to other counties in Yangzhou, instantly causing shock.
Everyone knew Lu Xuan's ambition.
It was also clear that Lu Xuan was going to send troops.
