What Deng Xi was talking about were some overt and covert spies sent to Yuzhang County by several major Jiangdong aristocratic families. Yuzhang County was considered an anomaly in Jiangdong. It had always been controlled by Hua Xin and was not controlled by Jiangdong aristocratic families.
So the major families in Jiangdong are trying their best to get a hand in Yuzhang County! But now Luo Yang is getting an advantage. Luo Yang is still polite to those who are from the Jiangdong family and lets Deng Xi give them warnings in turn.
After a while, he sent someone to keep an eye on them. As for those secret spies, Luo Yang was merciless and would silence them all once they were found!
Deng Xi's answer also made Luo Yang very satisfied. Everything was ready. Luo Yang couldn't help but smile, turned to look at Liu Xiang, and said with a smile: "How is the envoy of the Jiangdong family doing now?"
Liu Xiang also smiled slightly, cupped his hands to Luo Yang and replied: "Reporting to my lord, the envoy has been coming to the prefect's house every day for the past few days, but his subordinates followed the lord's instructions and sent him back to the inn every time! However,
I can see that the envoy can't wait any longer, and he is no longer as arrogant as when he first arrived!"
"Hahahaha!" Luo Yang couldn't help laughing after hearing Liu Xiang's words. Just after Huang Zhong sent troops to rescue Zhou Cang, the envoy from the Jiangdong family came, and everything was just as Hua Xin said before,
The Jiangdong family came to ask for surrender this time! Of course, it is impossible to say so on the surface. The Jiangdong family used a very good excuse to invite Luoyang's Jingzhou army to enter Jiangdong to quell the rebellion because of the rogue rebellions all over Jiangdong! Bandit rebellion?
I'm afraid those Jiangdong families are the ones causing the most trouble! Thinking of this, Luo Yang couldn't help but feel sad for Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, and Yan Baihu, the prefect of Wujun. These two people were originally lackeys of the Jiangdong family, and now they are ruthlessly treated by the Jiangdong family.
Abandoned!
Although the Jiangdong family came to show their goodwill to Luo Yang this time, Luo Yang deliberately asked people to hold him back and refused to meet him! The lack of results for the safety of Zhou Cang and Liu Yingji is certainly one reason, but the most important thing is,
Just to show off this arrogant envoy. When the envoy named Yu first arrived in Yuzhang, he was very arrogant and did not take Liu Xiang who went to greet him into consideration at all! For this reason, Liu Xiang made this move
The well-known gentleman was also very angry!
As the lord, Luo Yang naturally wanted to vent his anger on his subordinates. It was not appropriate to fight and kill him. Luo Yang simply handed everything over to Liu Xiang and left the envoy to dry! Anyway, those who were anxious this time should be
The Jiangdong family, now Luo Yang and Chen Bing Jiangdong, have the tendency to send troops to Jiangdong at any time! Luo Yang is not Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and other people will be nagging with the Jiangdong family. If they are unhappy, they will just start a fight! Sure enough, after such a delay,
The messenger immediately withered. In the past few days, Liu Xiang had had enough of the old man's addiction.
However, procrastinating like this is not an option. Fighting head-on with the Jiangdong Family is just lip service. Luo Yang can't afford to fight now. Now that everything has been dealt with, it's time to deal with the Jiangdong Family's affairs! Immediately Luo Yang was right
Liu Xiang said: "If that's the case, then you can send someone to invite the envoy over later!"
"Yes!" Liu Xiang did not dare to delay. Even if he bowed, he turned around and went out to invite him in person. Luo Yang also took advantage of this opportunity to discuss with everyone how to deal with it later.
About an hour later, under the leadership of Liu Xiang, an envoy from the Jiangdong family hurriedly walked in. This envoy was a scholar under the age of thirty. The children of the aristocratic family were extraordinary, and their movements were full of grandeur.
But maybe because he was anxious, his movements seemed a little hasty, but it did not damage his demeanor. After entering the hall, the messenger first scanned the people in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Luo Yang, and he frowned slightly
He frowned, stepped forward, raised his hands in salute, and shouted: "Yu Fan of Kuaiji, I have met Mr. Luo, the governor of Jingzhou!"
"Be brave! Why don't you kneel down when you see your lord?" As soon as Yu Fan finished speaking, Gan Ning, who was sitting beside him, roared angrily, and his hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist, as if he was ready at any moment.
Draw your sword!
Yu Fan glanced at Gan Ning, but smiled faintly. He was not intimidated by Gan Ning's audacity, and said proudly: "I am an envoy who came to visit Luo Jingzhou, not a subordinate of Luo Jingzhou, so why should I kneel down?"
Seeing that Yu Fan was not frightened, Gan Ning didn't know how to proceed. He held the handle of the knife and looked around awkwardly. If it was an enemy, Gan Ning would have drawn the knife and chopped it down long ago, but
Yu Fan still couldn't cut him. Deng Xi on the other side suddenly laughed, stared at Yu Fan and said, "Mr. Yu, what you said is ridiculous! As far as I know, you are a white man, and my lord is an official of the imperial court.
There is a difference between the lord and the husband between the officials and the people! When the husband sees my lord, of course he will kneel down! Unless, hum! Unless the families in Jiangdong do not take the officials appointed by the imperial court in their eyes!"
Deng Xi's last sentence was a bit heartbreaking. If you don't take the court officials seriously, doesn't that mean you don't take the court seriously, and you want to rebel? Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, and Deng Xi has this one.
If Yu Fan doesn't kneel down, then he has admitted his reputation as a rebel! Luo Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Fan with a smile on his face, wanting to see what happened to Sun Wu in history.
How would a celebrity adviser respond?
However, Yu Fan did not show any panic because of Deng Xi's questioning. Instead, he laughed and said: "Although Luo Jingzhou is an official of the imperial court, he is the governor of Jingzhou, but he left the place under his jurisdiction without authorization and ran away.
Come to Jiangdong! Luo Jingzhou has done such things that refute etiquette, so what does Yu’s rudeness do?"
"Bold!" As soon as Yu Fan said these words, he immediately provoked the three generals Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and Dian Wei to stand up and roar. All three of them stared angrily, with half of the weapons on their waists drawn out. They sat at the bottom of the table.
Xu Chu, well, he still didn't understand what was going on. He looked at Huang Zhong and others naively, wondering why they suddenly got angry.
"Brother Han Sheng! Sit down!" At this moment, Luo Yang waved his hand, smiled and motioned for Huang Zhong and others to sit back, and then stared at Yu Fan. This Yu Fan was really bold! Sure enough, Jiang Dongduo
Junjie! It's a pity that Yu Fan is a descendant of the Jiangdong family. With the current relationship between Luo Yang and the Jiangdong family, I'm afraid he won't be able to be used by Luo Yang!
Luo Yang immediately smiled and said to Yu Fan: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yu, who came all the way! We don't have to worry about the red tape anymore! Come here! Prepare a seat for Mr. Yu!"
After Luo Yang spoke, Huang Zhong and others naturally stopped saying anything. Immediately afterwards, they saw the sergeant who had been prepared walking in carrying a cushion, but directly placed the cushion in the hall! Yu
He glanced at the position of the cushion, glanced at Luo Yang again, then smiled, sat down directly, and said to Luo Yang, "Thank you, sir, for sitting down!"
After Yu Fan sat down, Luo Yang and Guo Jia looked at each other for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Yu! I have been busy with military affairs in the past few days, so I didn't come to receive you in time. How rude! Mr. Wan Wang, please forgive me!"
Yu Fan smiled lightly and said: "As an official of the imperial court, your Excellency is naturally busy with official duties. How can I dare to say anything nonsense? Your Excellency, I must have informed you of the villain's intention this time, and asked you to come to my rescue."
In view of the suffering of the people in Jiangdong, send troops to Jiangdong to eliminate the bandits in Jiangdong!" Yu Fantai was also straightforward, and he got down to business even before his buttocks were warmed up.
Although he had long decided to take control of Jiangdong, Luo Yang did not rush to agree. Instead, he was silent for a moment, smiled, and said: "Well, Mr. Yu, there are bandits rioting in Jiangdong. You should go and ask for help."
The local government is the one! The prefect of Wu County and the prefect of Kuaiji both have county soldiers in their hands, which are enough to quell the chaos. Why do they come to me, the governor of Jingzhou, for help?"
Yu Fan frowned slightly again. Before coming to Yuzhang this time, several major families in Jiangdong had discussed together. They thought that Luo Yang would seize Jingzhou before Wang Ruigang died. He must have a very impatient temperament.
They thought that when they proposed cooperation to Luo Yang, Luo Yang would eagerly agree. But they didn’t expect that Luo Yang could be so calm! However, Yu Fan only hesitated for a moment.
, and soon he returned to his normal state, and said to Luo Yang: "Your Majesty, it is clear! Although Grand Administrator Wang and Grand Administrator Yan intend to kill the thieves, the soldiers in Wu County and Kuaiji County are not strong enough, and the thieves are too tyrannical. Wang
The Grand Administrator and Grand Administrator Yan are really unable to wipe out the bandits! That’s why we discussed with the major families and asked for your help!”
"Oh?" Luo Yang was a little surprised by Yu Fan's answer. He thought that the Jiangdong family had abandoned Wang Lang and Yan Baihu, but he didn't expect that between the lines of Yu Fan's words, he was trying to excuse the two of them.
Ci, it seems that the Jiangdong family still wants to keep Wang Lang and Yan Baihu! But looking back, Luo Yang also figured out the connection. The Jiangdong family wants to keep these two people, not because of any friendship, but because they want to keep them.
The power of these two people will make Luo Yang afraid! It seems that this Jiangdong family is really difficult to deal with!
Luo Yang turned to look at Guo Jia again, and they looked at each other for a moment. Then Guo Jia smiled and said to Yu Fan: "Mr. Yu! My lord is the governor of Jingzhou appointed by the imperial court, and his jurisdiction is not much.
This is the territory of Jingzhou! Is there something wrong with rashly sending troops to the hinterland of Jiangdong?"
Yu Fan had long seen the flirtation between Luo Yang and Guo Jia, and he knew in his heart that the young scholar in front of him was probably an important adviser to Luo Yang! Originally, Yu Fan thought he would deal with it easily, but
When he heard Guo Jia's words, Yu Fan almost couldn't hold back his tone. He didn't dare to send troops rashly? The Jingzhou army had already captured six big cities in Jiangdong! Now they have the nerve to use this as an excuse?
