Chapter 67 Convince Lu Kang to Surrender

To be on the safe side, Zhu Xin asked Sun Ce to ask for two letters when he saw Ma Riyan. One was used by himself and the other was for Yuan Shu to read, especially after reading the latter, he might use it directly.

When Lujiang is pacified, Sun Ce may have made contributions, but at most it is the contribution of the suggestion, and has nothing to do with real military achievements.

After Lu Fan came over, he listened to Zhu Xin's opinions and decided to further improve it. That was the specific matter, which was communicated by Lu Kang and Sun Ce personally without leaving any evidence on paper. After all, this may become a handle for Sun Ce in Lu Kang's hands.

Simply put, Sun Ce may be involved by Ma Rizhen and Lu Kang, and he has to deal with Yuan Shu publicly. Otherwise, Lu Kang could use this letter to let Yuan Shu take action against Sun Ce first.

"It seems that the Grand Tutor is under house arrest in Yuan Shu..." After reading the letter, Lu Kang had already understood it. He insisted on using secret words. It seems that Ma Riyi's every move was monitored by Yuan Shu.

The letter mentioned Sun Ce, the captain of Huaiyi, and added secret words, Lu Kang probably understood that Sun Ce was "his own person".

"Tell Sun Ce that the conversation is OK, but she can only come alone!" Lu Kang thought about it and decided to be more secure.

I remember that if I was right, last year an army attacked Chen Wen, and the person who commanded the army at that time was called Sun Ce. Lu Kang did not think it was a coincidence. At the same time, an existence who could attack Chen Wen in such a short time was not a big mistake.

More than ten minutes later, Sun Ce replied and agreed to Lu Kang's request.

"I have some courage. OK, see me whenever I see it!" Seeing this, Lu Kang admired Sun Ce's courage, so he went out in person.

The meeting place was in the camp. Tables and chairs were prepared in advance, and even tea and snacks were prepared. At first, there was no such thing. Lu Kang saw a girl coming from afar. He was stunned at first, and then sent someone to prepare these.

"I didn't expect Captain Huaiyi to be so young..." The two of them sat down, and Lu Kang had to exchange greetings. "What's even more rare is that he is young and promising, and he is simply Huo Piqiu."

"Where, when Ce was young, he followed his father in the army and followed his teachings, which was the only thing he achieved today." Sun Ce said modestly, and it was inevitable that he mentioned his father Sun Jian's identity.

"It turned out to be Sun Polu's daughter. As expected, the tiger father has no dog daughter!" Lu Kang became more intimate when he heard this.

After all, Lu Kang's nephew, the magistrate of Yichun County of Yuzhang County, asked Sun Jian for help. If the latter went to rescue, it would be a cross-border confrontation, and the chief clerk also persuaded him like this. However, Sun Jian insisted on sending troops, not only successfully rescued, but also had to be named Marquis of Wucheng.

For Sun Jian, this is just a fragment of his career in battle. For Lu Kang, Sun Jian has kindness to the Lu family. After all, Lu Kang is only a nephew. No one knows that the one who was saved by Sun Jian was Lu Xun's father Lu Jun.

When Lu Kang told this, Sun Ce suddenly realized that the two families had such a relationship. In such an atmosphere, the meeting between the two had a good start.

"The Grand Tutor came to Guandong to recruit officials from various states..." Seeing that the atmosphere was similar, Sun Ce began to get to the point, "How come it was Yuan Shu's side, who valued the Grand Tutor's ability and hoped that she could stay and serve as a military advisor."

"Yuan Shu is so brave, and the envoys of the court dare to intercept them!" Lu Kang immediately showed bad intentions when he heard this.

This year, Lu Kang is already 68 years old, and he has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for most of his life. Therefore, in his principles, there is no idea of ​​separating one side and becoming a prince, which will only make him lose his moral integrity in his later years.

The older you are, the more you value your reputation, just as Xin Qiji said in his poem "winning his reputation before and after life."

I also understand that these days, the world is divided and everyone wants to be an emperor. However, the Emperor of Han is still in the hands of Li Jue. Unless he is murdered by him, the court loses its orthodox heir, no one dares to openly become independent.

The revival of the Han Dynasty may be a dream, but as a Han minister, Lu Kang must have a firm position.

"The Yuan family's four generations and three masters, and their powerful background has gradually made the Yuan family lose themselves." Sun Ce sighed, "The prefect doesn't know that Dong Zhuo was the former official of the Yuan family. The reason why he was activated was the thief in Liangzhou.

In those years, except for Dong Zhuo, all generals could not do anything to these traitors. A few years later, Dong Zhuo was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou, but he was entrenched in Hedong and did not take up his post. Not long after, the general He Jin was killed, and Yuan Shao took the lead in entering the palace. Dong Zhuo was introduced to the capital by the Yuan clan at the time."

"But Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Wei." Lu Kang couldn't help but ponder Sun Ce's words, but there was still this problem, which was logically unreasonable.

"The Yuan family did not expect that Dong Zhuo would hold two princes hostage by himself. Could it be that the prefect forgot that the princes attacked Dong was that Qiao Mao called on the princes of the world to attack Dong on the grounds of obtaining the secret order of the Three Dukes. At that time, Situ Ke was Yuan Wei.

Therefore, when the princes attacked Dong, Dong Zhuo retreated step by step, he hated Yuan Wei to the core, so it was reasonable to kill him." Of course, Sun Ce was prepared.

But then again, how did Zhu Xin know these things? Sun Ce recalled the process of Zhu Xin teaching himself along the way, but he didn't see that he had such an understanding of the situation.

Even Lu Fan, Chen Duan and Qin Song were stunned at the time, and there was no room for refutation at all.

By the way, he also analyzed that Yuan Shu kept Ma Riyi not only because of her talent, but also because of the relationship between the two families. Yuan Wei married Ma Rong's daughter as his wife, and Ma Riyi was Ma Rong's grandson. According to generation, Yuan Wei was also considered Ma Riyi's uncle.

Yuan Shu is Yuan Feng's eldest daughter, and Yuan Feng is Yuan Wei's clan brother. He has no blood relationship, but if Yuan Wei's side is concerned, then Yuan Shu is equivalent to Ma Riyi's cousin.

Miaomiaomiao, the two have such a relationship... At that time, everyone began to think that they were too ignorant? Unfortunately, reality is not a comic, otherwise one or two people would be like Doudou.

"What Sun Zhengwei means is that the Yuan family has been prepared for rebellion long ago?" Lu Kang felt that the context of the matter began to become clear.

If Dong Zhuo was obedient at that time and the Yuan family controlled the two princes, the result would be that Yuan Wei, or Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's generation, he would accept the abdication of the Han emperor and then become an existence similar to Wang Mang.

I have to say that Wang Mang really gave his juniors a good start!

"Is it impossible to verify, and there is no evidence?" Sun Ce said, "but Yuan Shu has ulterior motives and has arbitrarily intercepted the imperial envoys, but the evidence is conclusive. However, she has countless elite soldiers and tens of thousands of troops under her command. If she can attack Lujiang at all costs and the prefect, do you think she can defend it?"

"Aren't you here?" Lu Kang looked at Sun Ce with a smile, "Don't beat around the bush, it means your purpose!"

"If you can't defeat, why don't you try to pretend to surrender to Yuan Shu first, and then find an opportunity to kill him?" Sun Ce officially explained his purpose, "and then gathered his troops and raised an army to Beijing to serve the king. This is the meaning of the Taifu."

"But Captain Sun said that she has ulterior motives, so wouldn't it be criticized for me if I join him?" Lu Kang retorted.

"Yuan Shu is still the left general of the court, at least he has not shown a rebellious face. If he joins his command, there will be no loss in terms of reputation. If he shows his rebellious face one day, we will publicly announce the attack on her, which will make us look sincere to the Han court." Sun Ce replied, unexpectedly, he guessed it to Zhu Xin again.

It is impossible for Lu Kang to be uninterested, but he just wants to be shameless. As long as he is in a good position, a 68-year-old man will not be too confused. After a few years of peace and stability, he can continue to be the prefect, and he will have to retire even if he can't.

In fact, according to the current situation of the great man, he is probably going to die in office...

"If I can do it, the prefect of Lujiang will still be my official. The military power will not be given up." Lu Kang replied, "At the most, it is money, food, materials, etc., and you can pay her."

"As long as the prefect agrees to apply for results, Sun will help solve the subsequent matters." Sun Ce promised immediately.

It is very simple to convince Yuan Shu. How many years can Lu Kang be the prefect? ​​After his death, can he still let his son be the prefect of Lujiang? In just two or three years, five or six years later, Lujiang ended up falling into Yuan Shu’s hands?

So compared to Lu Kang's side, Yuan Shu's side is actually more convincing.

"As far as I say this, the prefect is not pretentious..." Lu Kang weighed, "Okay, I agree!"

In this chaotic era, either he became a prince himself or found a reliable prince to join him. Lu Kang was not allowed to be a prince himself, and he himself did not have the idea of ​​becoming a prince and separatist.

If he could, he wanted to join Liu Biao, who was a relative of the Han Dynasty. However, Runan and Jiujiang were both in the hands of Yuan Shu and were adjacent to him. The latter would not allow him. This neighbor would fall into the arms of others, so that her Runan and Jiujiang counties might face the risk of being attacked.

Just so happened that Sun Ce came over and gave him an excuse. Lu Kang accepted the excuse and then expressed his surrender.

Then the rest of the matter will be solved, and it is nothing more than asking Lu Kang to write a letter of surrender and send it to Yuan Shu. Of course, the conditions are to be issued, and then Sun Ce will also write a document to explain his views.

Whether Yuan Shu would agree or offer any conditions was the matter between the two. But Sun Ce did not fight and defeated the enemy without hurting one soldier, and he captured Lujiang County without hurting one soldier.

With this contribution, Yuan Shu must consider it seriously...

It was not just a military achievement. Lu Kang, in the idea that Yuan Shu could not be too cheap, allocated half of the money and grain he had reserved over the years to Sun Ce. Lu Fan was immediately happy and indeed the most profitable war was the most profitable.

Before Yuan Shu officially responded, Lu Kang had already compared himself with Sun Ce as a colleague. Strictly speaking, both of them were both Han officers, and they were indeed their own people.

It is absolutely necessary that Lu Kang arranged a family dinner to entertain Sun Ce and introduced several tribe members to him at the same time. Especially the nephew, who knew that Sun Ce was coming, hoped to visit him and thanked Sun Jian for his life-saving grace to his father.

Of course, Sun Ce accepted it happily, just saying that since it was a family dinner, her fiancé hoped to attend.

Lu Kang was stunned when he heard this, and then expressed his understanding that Sun Ce is already twenty years old this year, and it is normal to have a engagement. I just don’t know what kind of young hero he can get her peace of mind.
