There was dead silence again. After Lu Kang said those words, no one of the Gu family children present could speak. Those Gu family children were all stunned, staring at Lu Kang with disbelief on their faces.
They had just received the news that the Jingzhou Army had captured Chaisang. How come that in such a blink of an eye, even Yuzhang was lost?
An elder Gu, who was sitting next to Gu Yong, no longer cared about the response they had discussed earlier, and asked angrily: "You, you, are you telling the truth? The Jingzhou Army has really entered Yuzhang.
?”
It’s no wonder that the Gu family is so out of control. He is the branch arranged by the Gu family in Yuzhang. He has been operating in Yuzhang for many years. If Yuzhang is really captured, it means that he has been in Yuzhang for many years.
All his hard work was ruined! And Lu Kang nodded at him, completely defeating his last bit of luck. Immediately, the elder Gu's eyes darkened and he fainted!
His dizziness caused another panic in the entire Gu family hall. Gu Jian waved his hands with a dark face, and even though several servants came up, he took the elder Gu down directly. Looking at Gu
With a gloomy look on Jian's face, the children of the Gu family, who had been a little confused just now, sat back in their seats. Gu Jian, who felt humiliated, coughed slightly in embarrassment, and finally said to Lu Kang: "This,
Nephew Lu, I made you laugh! I just don’t know where Nephew Lu got this news? Oh! Of course, if Nephew Lu is inconvenient, there is no need to answer this question!"
Lu Kang just smiled lightly and said: "This is not inconvenient. The Lu family also has many eyes and ears in Yuzhang City. One of them is the bodyguard of Yuzhang Prefect Hua Xin! Last night, the Lu family received this person
According to the information sent, Hua Xin faced the Jingzhou army and opened the city gate without even fighting a battle, and dedicated Yuzhang City to Luo Yang, the governor of Jingzhou!"
"Hua Xin!" After Gu Jian heard this name, she couldn't help but clenched her fists hard, and felt so angry in her heart! This Hua Xin was not from Jiangdong, but he was assigned by the imperial court to occupy a Yuzhang.
The post of governor. In the past few years, Gu Jian tried his best to get the position of governor of Yuzhang into the hands of the Gu family, but it was Hua Xin who used the help of the Gu family and other big families.
Contradictions prevented Gu Jian's several plans from succeeding!
When he knew that the Jingzhou Army was approaching Yuzhang, Gu Jian even felt a little happy in his heart. He wanted to see how Hua Xin could escape this level. However, he did not expect that Hua Xin surrendered so simply.
!
"Master Lu!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. It was Gu Yong who was sitting opposite Lu Kang. He saw that Gu Yong was different from the panic of other Gu family children. He still had a smile on his face and said: "
The Jingzhou Army was stationed in Yuzhang, and Mr. Lu was able to get the news so quickly. It seems that the Lu family cares more about Yuzhang than our Gu family!"
When Gu Jian, who was sitting at the top, heard this, he immediately figured it out, yes! The Yuzhang City fell into the hands of the Jingzhou Army, and it was not just the Gu family that had a headache! Gu Jian glanced at Gu Yong meaningfully,
The evaluation of Gu Yong in his heart was a little higher, and then he smiled and said to Lu Kang: "Nephew Lu, I think my nephew's visit to the Gu family today is not just to tell us about the Jingzhou Army's garrison in Yuzhang City, right?"
Although Lu Kang still maintained a smile on his face, something strange flashed across his eyes, and he was no longer as calm as before. Lu Kang stared at Gu Yong opposite him and said with a smile on his face:
"This, I don't know what to call this brother?"
Gu Yong smiled and saluted, and said: "I, Gu Yong, am just an ordinary member of the Gu family!"
"Gu Yong?" Lu Kang repeated Gu Yong's name softly, and suddenly a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly bowed his hands and said, "It turns out he is a disciple of the Cai family! Disrespect! Disrespect!"
Cai Yong's reputation in this era was very high. Gu Yong was able to become Cai Yong's student, and he was highly regarded by Cai Yong. He even gave his name to Gu Yong and personally named Gu Yong, which shows that Gu Yong
He has learned a lot of talent. Although such a person is not the future heir of the Gu family, there are detailed records among the major families, and the Lu family is naturally no exception! Gu Yong and Lu Kang are of the same generation, and the age difference is not big, so
Lu Kang had always paid attention to this famous member of the Gu family, but he didn't expect to meet Gu Yong under such circumstances.
In response to Lu Kang's politeness, Gu Yong was also very humble in return. After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, Lu Kang stopped playing those empty tricks. From what Gu Yong said just now, it can be heard that this Gu family has probably been around for a long time.
I planned that it would not be easy to take advantage of the Gu family at this time. Lu Kang was able to become the heir to the head of the Lu family. Of course, there was something special about him.
"Uncle Gu Shi! Now that this is the case, my nephew will stop procrastinating! Now that the Jingzhou Army is approaching Jiangdong, if our family cannot unite, I'm afraid they will only be defeated one by one by Luo Yang in the future!"
Lu Kang said so simply, but Gu Jian glanced at Gu Yong quietly, and saw Gu Yong also nodded lightly. Then Gu Jian said to Lu Kang with a serious face: "Since Nephew Lu Xian said everything,
It’s clear! Then our Gu family won’t hide it! Let’s put aside all the disputes in the past for the time being. Our main purpose now is to deal with Luo Yang and his Jingzhou Army! I wonder what the Lu family’s plans are?”
Lu Kang glanced at Gu Yong. Although the little actions of Gu Jian and Gu Yong just now were hidden, they were not hidden from his eyes. After thinking about it, it seemed that Gu Yong's weight in Gu Jian's heart was not small.
Ah! Although my heart was moved for a few years, I didn't stop on my lips and continued: "Before my nephew came to the Gu family, the whole Lu family had already reached an agreement! To deal with the Jingzhou Army, we must not confront them openly again! Jingzhou
Everyone knows that the army is good at fighting. Instead of fighting head-on with them, why not take a step back for the time being and welcome the Jingzhou army into Jiangdong! When Na Luoyang relaxes his vigilance, we will look for opportunities to deal with these Jingzhou army!"
Hearing Lu Kang's words, not only Gu Jian, but also Gu Yong nodded frequently. Obviously Lu Kang's words coincided with his previous plan! At this moment, Gu Yong couldn't care less about hiding himself. He followed Lu Kang's words and said: "
But if we deal with the Jingzhou Army in this way, I’m afraid the strength of our two families alone will not be enough!”
"Not bad!" Although Lu Kang and Gu Yong met for the first time, their ideas were surprisingly similar. Lu Kang also said: "So this time, it is not just our two families who want to join forces.
Get up, there are also the Wei family and the Yu family in Kuaiji! Even the Zhu family, the Zhang family, the Kong family and the He family, in short, all the aristocratic families in our Jiangdong must unite together! As long as our Jiangdong aristocratic families are monolithic, even if
It was Luoyang’s Jingzhou Army that was able to take over Jiangdong, but our Jiangdong family has the final say on all matters in Jiangdong!”
Lu Kang and Gu Yong hit it off immediately, but Gu Jian, who was sitting at the top, had other concerns. The Wei family and Yu family that Lu Kang just mentioned were no less important than the Gu family and the Lu family in Jiangdong.
The two aristocratic families, together with the Gu family and the Lu family, are collectively known as the four major aristocratic families in Jiangdong, and control almost 70% of the power in Jiangdong! The remaining Zhu family and Zhang family are also slightly inferior in Wu County.
The Gu family, the Lu family, the Kong family and the He family are also slightly inferior to the Wei family and the Yu family in Kuaiji! These families have been in Jiangdong for so many years, and the disputes are no less than the disputes between the Gu family and the Lu family! These families must be eliminated
How easy is it to twist aristocratic families into one piece?
To take a step back, even if the major families can be united, who will be in charge of the alliance then? If this problem cannot be solved, the alliance will not play any role at all, and in the end it can only be
Wasted effort!
However, Gu Jian did not speak out these issues in front of Lu Kang now. After all, at this point, this was the only way to deal with the Jingzhou Army's invasion! However, in private, Gu Jian secretly made up his mind to do it.
Take a dominant position in this unprecedented family alliance that may be established in the future!
At the same time, while these Jiangdong aristocratic families were nervously busy with their own plans, in the westernmost part of Jiangdong, in the prefecture of Yuzhang City, there was a burst of laughter and laughter.
Luo Yang, who easily captured Yuzhang City without spending a single soldier, is now celebrating his victory with a group of subordinates here! The subordinates sitting on the left and right of Luo Yang are all separated by civil and military officials. Now Luo Yang
The power of Luo Yang has gradually taken shape, and everything can no longer be as unruly as before. The first person sitting on Luo Yang's left hand side is Luo Yang's current number one general Huang Zhong, followed by Dian Wei and Gan
Ning, as well as Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, who were recently taken under Luo Yang's account! Here are the generals brought by Luo Yang for this Eastern Expedition!
The first person on the right side of Luo Yang was the military advisor Guo Jia who accompanied Luo Yang on this expedition. As for Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, they were left behind in Jingzhou by Luo Yang. At present, Jingzhou has been initially determined, although it has just been defeated.
Yuan Shu, but it cannot be said to be completely safe. At least Liu Yan west of Jingzhou, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and even Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the north are not easy to worry about! Xi Zhicai and others are left behind.
, coupled with Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others who also stayed in Jingzhou, Luo Yang was able to go out with confidence.
Sitting behind Guo Jia were a group of civil servants, including Deng Xi, the former governor of Jiangxia who had joined the Yongzhi Army in Jiangxia, and Liu Xiang, a talent that Luoyang later raided. And sitting between Deng Xi and Liu Xiang
, a man with a dignified appearance was the greatest contributor to Luoyang's victory over Yuzhang City, and it was Yuzhang Prefect Hua Xin who took the initiative to open the city and surrender!
