Danyang County, Danyang County.
This was the place chosen by Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang.
The north gate of the county seat, the gate of the city.
Wu Jing and Sun Bi were waiting for someone at the city gate.
Wu Jing is in his thirties and has a handsome appearance. When Sun Jian was on the battlefield, Wu Jing followed Sun Jian. Wu Jing himself was very capable, and he was also a general who led a single unit under Sun Jian, and was quite brave.
Sun Bi is twenty-six or seven years old. He is Sun Ce's cousin and the current helmsman of the Sun family.
When Sun Jian was alive, Sun Ben was highly regarded by Sun Jian because of his bravery and good fighting skills. After Sun Jian's death, it was Sun Ben who commanded part of Sun Jian's army and personally carried Sun Jian's spirit back to Qu'a for burial.
After Sun Jian was buried, Sun Ce kept filial piety for Sun Jian. Wu Jing and Sun Bi joined forces and led their troops to continue to rely on Yuan Shu. At that time, Yuan Shu asked Wu Jing and Sun Ben to attack Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, and to attack Shanyue.
Then, Wu Jing and Sun Ben entered Danyang.
Wu Jing became the governor of Danyang, and Sun Ben became the captain of Danyang.
Sun Ben had a strong figure. He looked at Wu Jing and said in a deep voice: "Master Fu, Liu Yao is about to arrive in Danyang County. But I still have concerns in my heart. Is Liu Yao, the governor arranged by the imperial court, willing to obey our arrangements."
"impossible."
Wu Jing smiled and shook his head.
There was an intriguing look on his angular face, and he said in a deep voice: "We are relying on Liu Yao to develop our own strength. For Liu Yao, he is also relying on us to establish a foothold in Yangzhou."
"The governor of a state is so powerful that it is impossible for him to be controlled by us."
"When he comes to Danyang County, he will leave Danyang and re-select the state seat of Yangzhou in order to develop his strength. But these are not important. For us, after supporting Liu Yao, he will directly go to war with Lu Xuan and destroy Lu Xuan. mysterious."
Wu Jing said: "Lu Xuan is the biggest enemy at the moment, and the conflict with Liu Yao will be discussed later."
Sun Ben's eyes showed murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan killed Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others. He deserves to die."
Speaking of this, Sun Bi's face was full of anger: "When Bo Fu finished his filial piety for my uncle, he was asked to return to Danyang. Our family will establish a foothold in Danyang and build our business. However, he said that my uncle still has some of his old troops in Yuan Shu. Under his command, he wanted to get it back, and he had to go to Yuan Shu. He left, but he didn’t expect that everything would be lost."
Wu Jing smiled and didn't take it seriously and said: "It is indeed a pity that Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others died. But young people, aren't they just so wanton? When you were about 20 years old, you were also arrogant, thinking Build a career."
Sun Ben smiled and said nothing.
A flash of light flashed across Wu Jing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan took charge of Yangzhou's shepherdship. We have Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court, so we naturally have an advantage. Especially when Lu Xuan offended the Wujun family, even his own Lu family offend."
"This is our opportunity."
"In addition, Yuan Shu and Lu Xuan are also sworn enemies. Lu Xuan has already exhausted his enemies in Yangzhou."
"This time, we will use Liu Yao's name to start a war with Lu Xuan, and try to attract the big families in Wu County to support us. In addition, we will ask Yuan Shu to send troops. A three-party attack will destroy Lu Xuan in one go."
"No matter how good Lu Xuan is at fighting, as long as we have enough troops, we can completely defeat Lu Xuan."
"The key this time is to call Bo Fu back and not let him outside. There is no future in following people like Yuan Shu. You can rely on Yuan Shu, but you can't completely rely on Yuan Shu. This was my brother-in-law's original request."
Wu Jing sighed: "In troubled times, a family must work together. If we are separated, we will not be able to win."
Sun Ben's eyes were dark and he did not answer immediately. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Master Fu is right. In troubled times, a family still needs to work together. Otherwise, it will be impossible to gain a foothold."
"coming."
In the crowd, someone suddenly spoke.
Wu Jing looked up and saw a carriage driving not far away.
Beside the carriage, there were hundreds of soldiers guarding it.
Among the guards were several strong generals wearing armor.
When Wu Jing saw it, he raised his eyebrows and then regained his composure. With a smile on his face, he strode forward to greet him, walked to the front of the carriage, and said loudly: "Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang, pays homage to Ambassador Liu."
The carriage door curtain was raised.
Liu Yao, who was nearly forty years old, walked down.
He was dressed in fine clothes, looked elegant and dignified, and had a kind smile on his face.
The moment Liu Yao saw Wu Jing, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Wu Jing, and said urgently: "I need the help of Governor Wu before I can come to Danyang County to take up my post and have a foothold. Governor Wu is loyal to state affairs and has a high moral integrity. People admire it.”
Wu Jing said humbly: "Your Majesty praises Miao."
He waved his hand and said: "The humble post is in the city, and the governor's office has been prepared for the envoy to live and work. Envoy, please!"
"please!"
Liu Yao nodded.
The group entered the city and arrived at the governor's office in Danyang County.
Liu Yao deservedly sat in the main seat, with his trusted generals standing behind him, and Wu Jing and Sun Bi sitting below.
Liu Yao looked at Wu Jing, without beating around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Prefect Wu, when I took office, I heard that a rebel named Lu Xuan came out of Lujiang County and took charge of Yangzhou as herdsman. What do you think of this matter?"
Wu Jing looked jealous and said: "Report to the envoy, Lu Xuan has no law and must be punished. Especially when Lu Xuan takes charge of the state at this time, it is a provocation to the envoy and must be eliminated. I am planning to send troops to attack. Lu Xuan. But if we want to send troops, I can't do it alone. We must unite with Yuan Shu and ask the big families of Wu County for help."
Liu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard under his chin, and said: "Yuan Shu and Lu Xuan have a deep hatred. Lu Xuan offended the Wujun clan. According to this strategy, it is indeed feasible. But, how to unite?"
A flash of light flashed across Wu Jing's eyes.
Liu Yao was very familiar with Lu Xuan's news, which meant that Liu Yao had also made preparations.
Such people are difficult to control.
He didn't have this plan either.
After Lu Xuan is destroyed, Liu Yao will lose his value. Then he will consider the next step.
Wu Jing cheered up and replied: "Sun Bi, the captain of Danyang next to me, is familiar with Yuan Shu. He can send an envoy to Jiujiang County to persuade Yuan Shu to attack Lu Xuan. When it comes to the big families in Wu County, the envoy needs to arrange people to represent him. Envoy."
Liu Yao looked confident and replied: "My eldest son Liu Ji is outstanding in learning and good at debating. He can be sent as an envoy to Wu County. After all, other people cannot represent me and are not sincere enough."
Wu Jing said: "I will obey the envoy's arrangements."
Liu Yao asked again: "Now that we are ready to go to war, when will we send out troops?"
Wu Jing replied: "Of course the sooner the better, but we still have to wait for the reply from Yuan Shu and the Wujun clan. The news coming back and forth will be delivered in March or April at least."
Liu Yao nodded and said: "Get ready for war."
"Here!"
Wu Jingding nodded.
He didn't stay, got up and left.
Liu Yao also called his son Liu Ji and asked Liu Ji to leave Danyang County quickly to lobby the wealthy families in Wu County.
