Lu Su was furious, his eyes were sharp, and he said loudly: "My lord, I despise my position and agree to retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood. Lu Yuan was the first to be benevolent and righteous, but he was ambushed by Zu Lang. Zu Lang deserves to be punished."
Mi Fang echoed: "I agree to send troops."
Li Qian said: "I agree to send troops."
Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "My lord, it is necessary to send troops. The key is how to attack Zulang. I suggest that you first send people to Jingxian County to publicize Zulang's killing skills, so that people up and down the mountain will know Zulang's bad behavior. Attack Zulang again."
"No notification required."
Lu Xuan spoke decisively.
In normal discussions, Lu Xuan rarely interrupts the people below to express his position. Basically, Lu Xuan only expresses his position after everyone has finished speaking.
What happened to Lu Yuan was too bad.
In the name of false surrender, Zu Lang deceived Lu Yuan into the mountains and killed Lu Yuan who went to surrender. This is unforgivable.
Lu Xuan's eyes were murderous and he said: "What we have to do is to directly send troops to attack Shanyue. What we are considering now is how to attack Shanyue most effectively."
Zhou Yu stood up and said: "My Lord, I think there are two steps to be taken. Tell Shanyue clearly what we should do. The first step is to order the chiefs and clan commanders of the Shanyue tribes who are following Zu Lang to kill Zu Lang and hand over Zulang and all murderers.”
"In the second step, if the Sangoe tribes do not agree, we will set fire to the mountains and forests."
"It's June now, and the weather is hot. Even if Shanyue is hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, the fire will continue to spread. As time goes by, Shanyue will eventually be unable to hold on."
"Without the protection of mountains and forests, even though there are many people in Shanyue, they will definitely be defeated."
Zhou Yu said: "Zu Lang is treacherous and thinks that there is no way to deal with him by hiding in the mountains? It's just because many people are unwilling to set fire to it, but we don't have to think about this."
Yan Xiang frowned and said, "Zhou Shangshu's suggestion is a bit harsh."
A cold look flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Shang Shu Yan, I don't think Zhou Yu's suggestion is too harsh? Why are there so many mountains in Danyang County that cannot be stopped? It's because there are too many mountains and forests."
"The Shanyue people use the mountains and forests as a line of defense to resist attacks. Only arson is the most direct and violent way to break the situation."
"What's more, arson is a consistent method of slash-and-burn farming. The land burned by the fire is fertile soil, which we can reclaim as farmland to feed countless people."
"I don't want to take ruthless measures like burning mountains, but Zu Lang's behavior forces us to take such measures."
"If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to scare Zu Lang."
"If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to make the Shanyue tribe surrender."
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "This time, we must be ruthless. Only ruthless and strong methods will make the people of Shanyue fearful. This time, we will proceed according to Zhou Yu's strategy and first inform Shanyue in Jing County All ministries, let them capture Zulang. Zhou Yu, for his part, dispatched 10,000 elites to accompany me on the expedition. I will go to Danyang County in person."
"Here!"
Zhou Yu answered immediately.
Lu Xuan continued to order: "Lu Su will go to battle with me, and the rest will perform their duties."
"Here!"
Everyone answered again.
After leaving one by one, Lu Xuan returned to the backyard, told Da Qiao's daughters about leaving, and then took Zhou Tai and Lu Xun to the military camp. After meeting with Zhou Yu, he mobilized 10,000 elites to leave Shu County.
This time Lu Xuan sent out troops, not even any of the tiger generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, and Gan Ning were brought with him.
Shanyue's power has long been weakened, and most of Shanyue have been conquered by Lu Yuan.
The few remaining ones are useless.
Lu Xuan and his men first went south by land, then entered the Yangtze River and took the water route east. When they arrived at Wuhu County, they turned south and took the land route, heading in the direction of Jing County.
When Lu Xuan's troops entered Jingxian County, the news of Lu Xuan's arrangement spread to Shanyuezhong first.
Deep in the mountains.
In the area where Zu Lang is located.
Zu Lang is hunting. After all, there are no entertainment projects in the mountains, and hunting is the best project.
A soldier came to Zulang and reported: "Commander, there is news from outside that after Lu Yuan died, Yangzhou Mu Lu Xuan led 10,000 people to kill him. Lu Xuan's army entered Jingxian County. Now Lu Xuan ordered the people from various tribes in Shanyue to take you and surrender, otherwise, they will burn the forest and destroy the mountains."
Zu Lang was in his thirties, very tall and tall, with a curvy beard under his chin, which gave him a powerful look.
When he heard the soldier's report, he said disdainfully: "I have never heard of anyone who can burn mountains and forests. We are hiding deep in the mountains. Even if Lu Xuan sets fire and burns it for ten days and a half, there will be nothing to do with us." The solution is not to be afraid of him."
The soldier nodded and said no more.
Zu Lang still took his people to hunt, and returned to the tribe in the evening.
As soon as he returned, other Shanyue clan commanders and clan leaders came together to ask for an audience.
Fei Zhan, the leader of Shanyue, looked anxious and said loudly: "Commander, Lu Xuan has led the army. You still have to think of a way. You can't just wait. Otherwise, Lu Xuan will set fire to the mountains and forests. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. It can’t be destroyed, it’s not good for us either.”
Zu Lang sneered and said, "Lu Xuan doesn't dare to go into the mountains. Anyway, let's hide in the mountains and see what he can do?"
Shanyue people mainly live in the mountains.
However, there are some differences between these people and the barbarians.
Earlier, the Shanyue people fled into the mountains. They also built houses and cultivated land in the mountains, just like a paradise in the world. However, people in the mountains often go out to plunder.
It is not easy for the government to encircle and suppress them. It is for this reason that Shan Yue has been active in Yangzhou.
Fei Zhan was not satisfied with Zu Lang's answer and said: "Everyone knows about Lu Xuan's situation. He can kill Lu Bu and destroy Yuan Shu, which is very powerful. When Lu Yuan came to surrender, I said he couldn't kill people. But Lu Yuan scolded After killing you, you killed Lu Yuan. Now that Lu Xuan is here, we have no room for maneuver."
Zu Lang's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "What, do you want to compete with me?"
Fei Zhan frowned. He immediately surrendered and said, "I have no intention of competing with you. I just want to remind you that our situation is not very good."
Zu Lang said confidently: "I have everything under control, you don't need to worry. I am sure that Lu Xuan will not and dare not set fire, he is just threatening."
Fei Zhan hesitated to speak, but finally swallowed the words that came to his lips. He nodded and left with the people.
Zu Lang snorted and didn't care at all. He directly arranged for people to prepare wine and meat, and started eating in big gulps.
When Zu Lang was suppressing other Shanyue tribes and going his own way, the army led by Lu Xuan arrived at the outskirts of the mountain where Zu Lang was.
The army is stationed.
There was no movement in the mountains.
Lu Xuan did not wait and directly gave the order to set the fire. After the soldiers went to light the fire, because of the hot weather, there were many dead branches and leaves in the mountains, which could easily catch fire. As the fire broke out at the edge of the mountain forest, the fire quickly burned.
This fire has been burning for two days and is still spreading and burning.
Lu Xuan was indifferent and waited quietly.
He has enough patience.
Lu Xuan was stationed outside the mountain and allowed the fire to burn. The burning of the fire made the people in the mountain become restless.
In the room where Fei Zhan is located.
Fei Zhan looked at the other tribe leaders and said in a deep voice: "Zu Lang still eats, drinks and has fun, regardless of our life or death. Such a person is not worth following. What's more, Lu Yuan came to surrender, but Zu Lang broke the contract and killed Lu Yuan. We are now , we must respond.”
Mao Gan, the leader of the Shanyue tribe, said: "Speaking of which, Lu Yuan is a benevolent and righteous person. Many of the people he recruited and surrendered in Danyang County have lived a good life. Zu Lang first pretended to surrender, tricked Lu Yuan into killing him, and did It’s absolutely amazing.”
"Tie Zulang and surrender."
Another Shanyue leader, Jin Qi, spoke.
Jin Qi continued: "Everyone knows about Lu Xuan's situation. He is very powerful. When we decided to surrender, it was Zu Lang who insisted on killing Lu Yuan. We captured Zu Lang and the matter will be solved naturally."
Fei Zhan asked: "What are other people's opinions?"
The sect commanders and leaders of Shanyue kept expressing their agreement.
Many of these people have been won over by Lu Yuan and are ready to submit. After all, I had discussed it with Zu Lang before. However, Zu Lang killed Lu Yuan, which resulted in the current situation.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Fei Zhan nodded and said: "Since everyone agrees, prepare to take action. Anyway, there are many people around Zu Lang who are dissatisfied with Zu Lang. Let's contact these people to capture Zu Lang and leave the mountain as soon as possible."
Everyone agreed, and each went to gather their confidants and head towards the area where Zu Lang was.
