In the military camp, there is a large tent of the Chinese army.
Lu Xuan was still looking through the information sent back by Kuai Liang, which was all about Wu Jun.
The governor of Wu County is Xu Gong.
However, not everything in Wu County was under Xu Gong's control. In the south of Wu County, there is a bandit named Yan Baihu, who is entrenched in Wucheng County in the south. In addition, Qiantang County in the south of Wu County is temporarily occupied by the Zhu family of Wu County.
In short, it will take some time and energy to clean up Wu County.
While Lu Xuan was flipping through the information, there was a burst of hurried footsteps. Kuai Liang hurriedly entered with a look of joy and reported: "My lord, the Lu family and the Gu family have taken action. There are shouts of killing from within the two families. .”
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Gu Tong and Lu Yuan are both smart people. Since they have taken action, there is no surprise. Just wait."
Kuai Liang looked expectant and said: "When the situation of the two major families is stabilized and Xu Gong is surrendered, the main problem of Wu County will be solved. At that time, go directly south, sweep the area south of Wu County, and capture Wu County."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Strive to capture the entire Wu County before the autumn harvest."
Kuai Liang said: "It shouldn't be difficult."
"Report!"
The soldiers entered, bowed and reported: "Zhou Mu, Xu Gong, the governor of Wu County, wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan ordered.
He looked at Kuai Liang and said with a smile: "Mr. Kuai, it seems that the news about the Lu family and the Gu family has reached Xu Gong's ears. Xu Gong was thinking about whether I would deal with him when I dealt with the Lu family and the Gu family, so he specially coming."
Lu Xuan said: "This is actually a good thing. If we can solve Xu Gong's problem once and for all, we can save a lot of time."
Kuai Liang said: "My lord, what you said makes sense."
After a while, Xu Gong entered the camp. He still looked worried and said respectfully: "Xu Gong, who is of humble rank, pays homage to the envoy."
Lu Xuan asked: "Prefect Xu doesn't sleep at night and comes to see me all night long. Is there anything wrong?"
Xu Gong looked urgent and said quickly: "During my humble tenure as the governor of Wu County, I failed to eliminate bandits and protect the country and the people. As a result, Wu County was infested with bandits, especially in Wucheng County in the south of Wu County. There was even a big thief named Yan. White Tiger. Even the counties in Wu County refused to obey the transfer order. I am incompetent in my humble position. Please resign as the prefect, and please choose someone with talents."
He took out the prefect's seal ribbon from his sleeve, placed it directly in front of Lu Xuan, and took two steps back to stand still.
Xu Gong was now very frightened.
He was worried that Lu Xuan had some tricks.
If Lu Xuan also planned a trick against him, or incited people from the Prefect's Mansion to deal with him, I don't know how he died.
If Lu Xuan's power was weaker and both the Gu family and the Lu family were on his side, Xu Gong would definitely have to resist. Or maybe Lu Xuan was just a martial artist with no brains. He only knew how to lead troops to fight, but had no political skills or knowledge of conspiracy. Xu Gong also wanted to fight again.
However, Lu Xuan had the power and means, and he was also good at fighting.
There is no way to win.
Seeing that Lu Xuan did not express his position, Xu Gong became even more uneasy. He lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, saying: "Lu Shijun, the words and sentences I said about my humble position are true and they come from my heart. I am incompetent in my humble position. Please allow me to resign." official."
Lu Xuan stood up and walked to Xu Gong with a gentle look on his face. He helped Xu Gong up and said with a smile: "Prefect Xu, there is no need for this. I admire your ability to govern the place."
"no no!"
Xu Gong shook his head hurriedly.
He said again: "The methods used by humble officials to govern the place are very rough. The humble officials are not capable enough. I sincerely ask you to choose a suitable person to serve as the governor of Wu County."
Lu Xuan sighed and said, "Prefect Xu thinks that this officer is ruthless, so he is determined to resign?"
"No, absolutely not."
Xu Gong's heart trembled.
Of course he was afraid that Lu Xuan was ruthless, but he couldn't talk about this matter.
Xu Gong rolled his eyes and said quickly: "The key problem is that the ability of a humble person is not enough to be qualified for an official position like the prefect of Wu County. The geographical location of Wu County is very important. It is bordered by Xuzhou to the north, the sea to the east, and the outlet to the sea. It is the key to connecting Xuzhou.”
"In such a strategic location, if someone with such incompetence as Beizhi stays in Wu County, he can only serve as a corpse and hold back Lu Shijun. Beizhi's resignation is not due to other reasons, just lack of ability."
Lu Xuan said: "Prefect Xu insists on resigning, and I will not stop him. I agree."
call! !
Xu Gong breathed a sigh of relief.
He was finally safe.
Xu Gong looked relaxed and bowed: "Thank you so much, Ambassador Lu."
Lu Xuanxiao said: "Prefect Xu has rich experience, it is a pity to be idle. Why not go to Xunyang County in Lujiang County to work. Prefect Xu was transferred from the prefect of Wu County to the prefect of Yuzhang, and will work in Xunyang County for the time being. I will arrange a few troops, What do you think of cooperating with Governor Xu to attack Yuzhang County for me? By then, Governor Xu will be in charge of Yuzhang County."
After Xu Gong heard this, he quickly said: "I obey my lord's arrangement and am willing to work in Xunyang County."
He changed his title.
He directly stayed and served under Lu Xuan.
Yuzhang County is still independent and not under Lu Xuan's command. Although he was not worthy of his name as the governor of Yuzhang County, Lu Xuan's arrangement was equivalent to his recognition. Although Xu Gong was a bit shabby, Xu Gong had no place to go, so serving as the governor of Yuzhang was already very good.
Going to the court?
In the current imperial court, warriors like Li Jue and Guo Si are in power, and I don’t even know how they died.
Yuan Shao in the north is too far away, and Yuan Shao likes famous scholars. He is not a great scholar, nor is he a famous scholar. Even if he is under Yuan Shao's command, he will not be reused.
The final important point is that Xu Gong is from Yangzhou and is not used to going to the north. In Yangzhou today, Lu Xuan is the dominant family and has become a trend, so he might as well work for Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "These days, Governor Xu will first handle the government affairs of Wu County. When I arrange a new Governor of Wu County, it will not be too late for you to take up your post."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Xu Gong answered respectfully.
"My lord, Lu Yuan and Gu Tong would like to see you."
At this moment, another soldier entered and saluted respectfully.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Please."
Xu Gong said: "Your Majesty, I humbly resign from my post."
Lu Xuan nodded, and Xu Gong walked out of the Chinese army's tent. As he walked out, he met Lu Yuan and Gu Tong striding towards them. The two of them strode forward, both looking high-spirited.
Such a gesture made Xu Gong feel awe-struck. It was obvious that both of them had succeeded.
Xu Gong sighed in his heart, although Lu Xuan was young, his methods were really mind-numbing.
Lu Yuan and Gu Tong entered the Chinese army's tent and saluted Lu Xuan together.
Lu Xuan looked at the two of them and asked, "You came all night, what's the matter?"
Lu Yuan looked respectful and reported: "Reporting to the envoy, Lu Qi, the patriarch of the Lu family, appeared to submit to the envoy, but in fact secretly gathered a group of people with the intention of rebelling and killing the envoy. After the common people found out, they had no time to report, so they executed him Kill Lu Qi and others."
Gu Tong's eyes brightened, and he echoed: "Gu Cang, the patriarch of the Gu family, also surrendered to the envoy on the surface, but in fact secretly conspired. When the common people found out, they made a decisive decision and led people to kill Gu Cang and stabilize the Gu family."
Both men are smart people.
They were not killing people, nor were they rebelling and killing family elders, they were just killing relatives out of justice. Moreover, this statement has nothing to do with Lu Xuan. It was not Lu Xuan's arrangement, but Lu Qi and Gu Cang who conspired to rebel and were killed.
Lu Xuan also had a smile on his face.
They are all smart people.
