Wu Jing even had a trace of murderous intention in his heart, wanting to kill Liu Yao once and for all to avoid hidden dangers. But he judged rationally that Lu Xuan's words were intended to drive a wedge between the two parties.
Even though Wu Jing knew it, deep down in his heart, there was still a trace of worry that Liu Yao and Lu Xuan would reconcile.
Because once the two parties reconcile, maybe Liu Yao will sacrifice him.
However, the murderous intention was suppressed in an instant.
There can be no infighting now.
Otherwise, Lu Xuan will benefit.
Wu Jing did not reveal what he was thinking, his eyes returned to calmness, he smiled and said: "Liu Governor, I believe you."
There seemed to be a slight crack in the words as both parties spoke.
Lu Xuan ignored the situation on the tower and continued: "Liu Yao, I'm going to be lenient with you because of your brother Liu Dai's kindness to my father. But people like Wu Jing must be killed."
"I am the Yangzhou Mu of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and I represent the imperial court. Wu Jing is disloyal to go against the imperial court for his own selfish interests."
"For the sake of power, Wu Jing took refuge in thieves like Yuan Shu, followed the trend, and had no moral integrity. This is unjust.
"This kind of disloyal and unjust person is wandering around Danyang County. It is due to my negligence as a Yangzhou shepherd, Lu Xuan. Now that I am here, his crimes must be tried."
"His crime is unforgivable."
Lu Xuan's voice echoed on the tower.
Wu Jing's cheeks twitched when he heard this, his mentality was a little broken, and his eyes were fierce.
Lu Xuan has a really vicious mouth.
Feel free to put a hat on anyone.
He monopolized Danyang for his own selfish reasons. Could it be that Lu Xuan came to attack him for his own selfish reasons?
He relied on Yuan Shu to follow Yan Yan's influence, but in troubled times, how could he stand on his own without relying on Yuan Shu?
In the final analysis, it was Lu Xuan's words.
Wu Jing punched the city wall with his fist and said angrily: "Lu Xuan, don't talk about yourself so high and noble. What you, Lu Xuan, did was also for your own selfish desires."
Lu Xuan ignored Wu Jing's words and continued: "People in the city, listen, I, Lu Xuan, as the shepherd of Yangzhou, hereby promise that no matter who you are, no matter your identity, no matter what crimes you have committed before, as long as you kill Wu Jing, I appoint him as the prefect of Danyang and take charge of Danyang County."
"Whoever can kill Sun Bi, I will appoint him as the Danyang Captain. Whoever can kill Sun Ce, I will appoint him as the Danyang County Magistrate."
"I'll give you three days to prepare."
"Within three days, no matter who completes the task, no matter your background or ability, as long as it can succeed, I will approve it."
"In addition, I will accept anyone who is willing to submit to me, Lu Xuan. If you work under me, Lu Xuan, your family will get land. You yourself can also hold your head high and live with dignity."
"I welcome you."
"After three days, if no one takes action, I will attack the city directly. Life and death will be decided by God. Whether you can control your own destiny and change your difficult situation depends on you."
Lu Xuan's voice echoed clearly.
He turned his horse's head and left.
Wow! !
On the tower, many people started talking. Some soldiers had different expressions on their faces, but no one made any rash move.
The expressions of Wu Jing, Sun Bi and Sun Ce were even more ashen.
Lu Xuan is hateful.
In the end, he didn't give up and further deceived people's hearts.
Wu Jing only felt that his scalp was numb and the matter was difficult. Lu Xuan's words made the situation in Danyang County even more complicated. If Wu Jing and Lu Xuan had not been defeated in the battle, Wu Jing had the advantage, and Lu Xuan's clever tongue would not be able to seduce people's hearts. At most, it would only cause a little ripple.
The problem is that Wu Jing was defeated, and he was defeated miserably. In addition, Wu Jing had very few people, and the three major families withdrew their people, leaving only Wu Jing's defeated army. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Danyang County may not be able to defend it.
Under this premise, strong people's hearts will change.
Many people will find a way out in advance.
This is the human heart.
The icing on the cake is a common problem of most people. When people are prosperous, they rush to maintain relationships and think about maintaining relationships. Similarly, adding insult to injury is what most people do, because adding insult to injury has no impact on themselves, but they can benefit from it.
Lu Xuan's step was too poisonous.
Liu Yao looked at Lu Xuan's leaving figure with solemn eyes.
He knew that there was a rift with Wu Jing because of Lu Xuan's words, but now, he also wanted to stabilize Wu Jing.
Liu Yao said in a loud voice: "Prefect Wu, Lu Xuan is a rebellious minister and traitor, and everyone should punish him. Lu Xuan's actions are outraged by heaven and earth. I will definitely stay in the city, hold firm to the end, and fight Lu Xuan to the end."
"Please go all out, Governor Wu, to defend the county. If we defend Danyang County, we will have a chance."
"Yuan Shu's side has not taken action yet. Once Yuan Shu sends troops and Lu Xuan's rear is attacked, Lu Xuan will definitely withdraw and we will be safe. The current defeat is only a temporary defeat. There is no need to lose heart."
Wu Jingpi said with a smile: "I will fight with all my strength."
Liu Yao continued: "We all know Lu Xuan's insidious intentions and we cannot let him succeed."
Wu Jingdao: "Please rest assured, Governor Liu, there is sufficient food, grass and equipment in the city. Even if the army only has two or three thousand people, it can still support it. If it doesn't work, I can still mobilize the people to participate in the war."
"I can easily pull up a team of tens of thousands of people. After Lu Xuan's loss this time, he also lost a lot of troops. Lu Xuan wanted to attack Danyang County, but with the force in his hands, he could not win the county with a hard attack."
Liu Yao nodded and said: "Prefect Wu has worked hard all day, and it's hard work. It's getting dark now. Let's bury the pot and make rice first. After eating, take a good rest and fight with all our strength."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Wu Jing answered again.
Liu Yao and Wu Jing briefly exchanged some useless words and went back to his governor's mansion.
Sun Ben looked at Wu Jing's leaving back and said: "Master Fu, Liu Yao can't be trusted. Unless Lu Xuan said it, we wouldn't know that Liu Yao and Lu Xuan had such a relationship. From the beginning to the end, Liu Yao didn't He said, this person also has his own thoughts. I think it is no longer cost-effective to help Liu Yao."
Wu Jing shook his head and said: "At this point, even if Liu Yao can't be trusted, he can only believe it."
Sun Bi asked: "What if he wants to run away?"
A flash of light flashed across Wu Jing's eyes, and he said coldly: "I will arrange for people to keep an eye on the Governor's Mansion. If Liu Yao wants to run away, then he will abandon us first. We have paid so much for him, and he will do it without saying a word. If you run away, don’t blame me for being rude.”
A chilling aura emerged from Wu Jing's body.
He always takes the overall situation into consideration, but this time, after having sacrificed so much in exchange for Liu Yao's abandonment, Wu Jing is not a kind person.
He was someone who followed Sun Jian and was not a bad person.
Sun Ben hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Do we really want to defend to the death?"
Wu Jing said: "My brother-in-law was killed in the early years. We lost our foothold and had to seek refuge with Yuan Shu. We finally came to Danyang County and won the victory. We have a foothold. If we give up now, where will we gain a foothold?" Are you going to rely on Yuan Shu again?"
Sun Bi stopped talking.
His heart suddenly felt more agitated than ever before. How wonderful were the days of stability before.
Everything is broken.
Sun Ben scratched his head and said irritably: "How we can gain a foothold is something that Mr. Fu has to think about. After working hard all day, I felt so uncomfortable that I went to drink."
Wu Jingcheng nodded and did not stop Sun Ben from drinking.
There's no harm in having a good fight and drinking some wine.
Wu Jing watched Sun Bi leave, looked at Sun Ce in front of him, and said with concern: "Bo Fu, I see you are injured, can you still hold on?"
"no problem."
Sun Ce shook his head.
He looked firm and said: "Uncle, we really have to defend Danyang and we can't lose it. It's just that I think Sun Ben is fearful and timid, and I don't have a good relationship with him. Please pay more attention to him to avoid problems. "
Wu Jing said: "I know, you should go to rest earlier."
Sun Ce turned around and left.
Wu Jing glanced around, first calmed the soldiers on the tower, and then arranged for people to keep an eye on Liu Yao before continuing to reorganize the army.
