Lu Xuan looked up at the tower.
There are soldiers guarding the upper floors of Danyang County. This is Wu Jing's last force.
Lu Xuan took a breath and said loudly: "Wu Jing, I am Yangzhou Mu Lu Xuan."
Wu Jing was disheveled and looked very embarrassed. He was a little tired. Looking at Lu Xuan, who was covered in blood outside the city and descended like a demon king, a flash of fear flashed deep in his eyes.
In this battle, Lu Xuan defeated him.
The key is that Lu Xuan's troops are not many, only six to seven thousand men. He had a total of 18,000 troops, a disparity of several times in strength, and he was defeated directly.
Wu Jing looked around and saw some soldiers talking, and became even more worried.
After the defeat of Lu Meng, Gu Xi and Xu Chang in the battle of Luo Gaoshan, they did not return to the county town at all. They took the defeated soldiers of the three major families and went directly to Wu County.
Now his strength is only more than 2,000 people who have followed him back to the city.
There are still a large number of soldiers fleeing outside the city, but the fleeing soldiers will not be able to return to the county seat for a short time. And more soldiers either died in battle or surrendered, resulting in a smaller army.
It will be difficult to resist Lu Xuan.
Wu Jing hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and said, "Lu Xuan, it's absolutely impossible for you to break Danyang County. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in Danyang County, as well as a large amount of food and equipment. You want to fight I will fight with you for as long as you want. Even if it is half a year or a year, I will fight with you to the end."
Lu Xuan sneered and said mockingly: "Wu Jing, you are so loud. In the battle of Pingshan, the 18,000 elite soldiers under your command suffered countless casualties. The number of people who followed you back to Danyang County was no more than two or three thousand." "
"You said that there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city. Are you talking too much, or do you think that I don't even have this common sense?"
"If you were in the city and had more than 10,000 elite troops, you wouldn't be weak after the Battle of Pingshan. When the situation is at a stalemate, you can defeat me as long as you have one elite force."
Lu Xuan said: "The so-called tens of thousands of elite soldiers are just your remaining two thousand defeated soldiers. A group of people who were defeated by me, the army was shattered and there were countless wounded soldiers. You expect them to defend Danyang County, which is a fool's dream."
Wu Jingdao: "We won't know until we fight whether we can hold it or not."
Liu Yao stood beside Wu Jing.
He was also very worried.
He poked his head out of the city wall and retorted very seriously: "Lu Xuan, your Lu family has a good reputation, and your father Lu Kang is also a model for the country and a pillar of the Han Dynasty. But when I came to you, I took the position of state pastor and overstepped my bounds." Act.”
"What you did has made all the ancestors of the Lu family lose their reputation."
"Although you have gained a temporary advantage, I believe that you will not be able to last long if you have more help for the successful and less for the unjust."
"I, Liu Yao, will never be afraid of you."
Liu Yao raised his voice and said: "If you are wise, you can remove your arrogant title of Zhou Mu and restore your status as Lujiang Prefect, and everyone can live in peace. Otherwise, you will definitely lose."
Lu Xuandao: "It turns out to be Liu Yao. I don't agree with what you said."
Liu Yao said: "It is also true that you disagree."
Lu Xuan shook his head and retorted: "Liu Yao, you said that I lead the Yangzhou Shepherd by myself. In fact, my status as Yangzhou Shepherd was recommended by Liu Biao, General Zhennan, Jingzhou Mu, and Chengwu Marquis."
"This is legal and compliant."
"You say you are orthodox, but all the scholars in the world don't know that the emperor is the puppet of Li Jue and Guo Si, the warriors of Xiliang. When Dong Zhuo was alive, he treated the emperor as a plaything. After Dong Zhuo died, Li Jue and Guo Si Manipulating the Emperor.”
"These people regard imperial power as child's play, despise the emperor, go to the palace with swords and shoes, and even stay in the palace at night."
"The chaos in the world was caused by them."
"You, Liu Yao, took refuge with Li Jue and Guo Si and relied on them to become the governor of Yangzhou. What shame do you have to accuse me?"
"Anyway, you, Liu Yao, are a lineage of the Han Dynasty, and you have the blood of Emperor Gao flowing through you. Everyone in the world is fighting against Li Jue and Guo Si, and they do not obey the power of Li Jue and Guo Si. But you, submit to Li Jue and Guo Si, self-righteous and complacent."
There was deep contempt in Lu Xuan's words, and he said disdainfully: "For someone like you to follow the trend and succumb to the violent thieves in Xiliang, you come to accuse me, Lu Xuan, of overstepping your bounds. It's a big joke and makes people laugh."
boom!
Liu Yao staggered back a step, with a look of horror on his face.
He looked at Lu Xuan outside the city, thinking about Lu Xuan's words in his mind, and his cheeks twitched slightly. Lu Xuan said that he sought refuge with Li Jue and Guo Si, but in fact, he did not do so.
His official position was arranged by Li Jue.
That's all.
There is no relationship between the two parties.
Lu Xuan changed the concept secretly.
The problem is, he received the imperial edict and Li Jue's arrangements. At least in the eyes of outsiders, he was submissive.
Sun Ce saw this scene and reminded: "Liu Governor, Lu Xuan has always been sophistical, don't pay attention to him."
Wu Jing was also worried that Liu Yao would not be able to withstand the blow, and advised him: "I can tell, Lu Xuan's mouth is so vicious. Liu Yao, just ignore Lu Xuan."
Liu Yao put one hand on the city wall and looked unwilling. He ignored Sun Ce and Wu Jing's persuasion and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, you are using your strong words to make sense."
Lu Xuan continued: "You said that I am arrogant, then let me ask you, isn't the emperor a puppet in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Bang? The emperor has no freedom at all, let alone rights. Even the emperor's life and death They are all controlled by Li Jue, isn’t that true?”
"The imperial decrees are all those of Li Jue and Guo Si."
"Is it fake?"
"When Li Jue and Guo Si appoint people to serve, will they first appoint their own confidants? Will they also appoint people who oppose him?"
"It's impossible."
Lu Xuan clicked his tongue twice and continued: "The fundamental reason is that you, Liu Yao, have no moral integrity, no shame, and follow the trend. Liu Yao, although you are shameless, I, Lu Xuan, am a person who understands kindness and righteousness."
"Back then, my father Lu Kang persuaded Emperor Liu Hong and was imprisoned by the emperor. It was your brother Liu Dai who helped save my father from death. So this time, even if you are my enemy, I will not kill you. you."
"No matter what, our two families are connected. Broken bones are still connected, so don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Whenever you want to leave, just leave the city and I will never stop you. "
Lu Xuan's voice reached the tower.
Liu Yao frowned.
He looked around and saw that every soldier looked over, including Wu Jing, Sun Ce and Sun Ben.
The eyes of these people were somewhat questioning.
Ding!
Liu Yao had a bad premonition in his heart.
He looked at Lu Xuan outside the city and immediately understood that Lu Xuan was too vicious. On the surface, he said that he would not kill him and that he had a relationship with him. In fact, he used these words to drive a wedge between him and Wu Jing and others, causing a rift between him and Wu Jing and others.
Perhaps Lu Xuan would fulfill his promise not to kill him for the sake of reputation. But after Lu Xuan's words came out, Liu Yao and Lu Xuan had a relationship, and the people below would have ideas.
You, Liu Yao, have a way out, but what about us big soldiers?
Anyway, if he is defeated, Liu Yao will not die. The soldiers will simply be destroyed, and it will be okay if they don't resist.
Military morale will be damaged.
Lu Xuan's words were like killing two birds with one stone. He first alienated the relationship and then further undermined the morale of the troops on the tower.
Liu Yao was a little flustered. He quickly looked at Wu Jing and said swornly: "Prefect Wu, Lu Xuan's words were done deliberately to alienate our relationship. Don't believe him. I have no contact with him."
Wu Jing's eyes were dark.
Between Liu Yao and Lu Xuan, if he defeated Lu Xuan, gained the upper hand, and took the initiative, Liu Yao would not reconcile regardless of his relationship with Lu Xuan. He would definitely want to defeat Lu Xuan and seize Yangzhou.
However, he lost the battle with Lu Xuan.
Liu Yao had no chance of defeating Lu Xuan and would be in trouble if he continued to resist. Under this premise, the conflict between Liu Yao and Lu Xuan may be reconciled.
