Lu Xuan led the team into Xiling County and continued on the road at full speed.
Today's weather is sunny and windy. The warm winter sun falls down and shines warmly on the body. It is rare that the weather is sunny and windy. Lu Xuan, Kuai Liang, Gan Ning, Xu Shu, Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong, Mi Fang and others,
All sunbathing on the deck.
Xu Shu was basking in the sun and was very happy.
Along the way, he often asked Kuai Liang for advice and expressed many doubts in his mind, and received guidance from Kuai Liang.
Compared with Pang Degong, Kuai Liang was completely defeated in terms of his attainments in Confucian classics, especially his research on "Shang Shu". However, if he compared his ability to govern local areas and his experience in government affairs, Kuai Liang was obviously stronger.
Because Kuai Liang had followed Liu Biao, contacted various people, dealt with various government affairs, and knew the twists and turns of government affairs.
Pang Degong also knows a lot.
However, after all, Mr. Pang Degong did not become an official, and many of his ideas and cognitions were still theoretical and had not been truly dealt with.
Kuai Liang's answer gave Xu Shu a feeling of enlightenment.
Xu Shu put his hands on the side of the boat, looked at Kuai Liang, and asked: "Mr. Kuai, we have now entered Jiangxia County. I heard that Huang Zu of Jiangxia County was from the Huang family of Jiangxia and was from a wealthy family. But this person is more inclined to
A general is brave but has no plans."
Kuai Liang looked at the sparkling river surface, shook his head and said: "Huang Zu looks like a martial artist, brave and foolhardy, but in fact he is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. He is very shrewd."
"Otherwise, Huang Zu wouldn't be able to kill Sun Jian."
"Huang Zu was a very capable man, especially he was very good at training his navy, and his navy was very elite. In addition, as the prefect of Jiangxia, Huang Zu was actually a subordinate of Liu Biao, but he was actually independent.
"
"Huang Zu has the final say on the finances and personnel of Jiangxia County, and the troops in Jiangxia County are all Huang Zu's private soldiers."
"This situation can be regarded as a way of getting along with Liu Biao and the major families in Jingzhou. Liu Biao relied on the strength of the major families to stabilize Jingzhou and became the Jingzhou herdsman recognized by everyone. The local wealthy family arranged for people to control the place and serve as the prefect."
"Huang Zu, that's it."
Kuai Liang's eyes turned, fell on Lu Xuan, and said seriously: "If the lord wants to attack Jingzhou in the future, he can lure Huang Zu with benefits. As long as Huang Zu's interests are satisfied, he will be the first to defect, and Jingzhou will be around the corner."
Can be determined."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Mr. Kuai, Huang Zu and I have formed an alliance to support each other."
Shouts of exclamation arose one after another.
Everyone looked over and looked at Lu Xuan, very surprised.
Xu Shu was surprised and said: "My lord, I remember that you have no contact with Huang Zu. When did you form an alliance with Huang Zu?"
When Pang Tong heard Lu Xuan's words, he admired him even more and said loudly: "My lord, your methods are really powerful."
Mi Fang lamented: "I have been in the post house all the time. I don't know when my lord won over Huang Zu. During the short period of time in Xiangyang, my lord received the support of Liu Biao and the Cai family, and formed an alliance with Huang Zu. I admired him."
.”
Gan Ning said boldly: "My lord's methods are naturally powerful, otherwise, wouldn't everyone be the lord?"
One by one they kept blowing.
Lu Xuan became even more mysterious in their eyes.
Lu Xuan noticed the pairs of eyes and explained: "I was able to form an alliance with Huang Zu because of Liu Biao. Liu Biao blackmailed Huang Zu, Jin Xuan and Zhang Xian each with six thousand private soldiers at the birthday banquet. You all have done this.
knew."
"At that time, I noticed that Huang Zu's mood was not right. After Liu Biao's birthday party was over, I went to the posthouse to find Huang Zu and proposed an alliance with her. The two sides would help each other. Huang Zu needed weapons and food, and I gave her full support."
"If I need food and supplies, Huang Zu will also support me. In addition, I also asked Huang Zu to provide fifty shipbuilding craftsmen."
"Although the navy under Xingba's command is very elite and brave, our ships are obviously not sophisticated enough and not big enough. Although we in Lujiang County have warships, our knowledge in this area is far from sufficient."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently and said: "Fifty craftsmen with rich shipbuilding experience are extremely valuable. These people can continuously build large ships and enhance the combat effectiveness of our navy."
"My lord is wise!"
Gan Ning answered with cupped fists.
He was extremely excited and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will go all out to train the navy and strive to have the navy form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Our navy in Lujiang County will definitely be invincible on the river."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Not only are you invincible on the river, but you also have to be invincible on land."
Gan Ning said: "I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Gan Ning was filled with excitement when he thought that he had enough navy and warships.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier came over and reported: "Lord, a large ship appeared on the river in front. There is a yellow flag on this large ship."
"I know, come closer, Huang Zu's ship is coming."
Lu Xuan gave the order directly.
He raised his head and looked forward and saw Huang Zu's ship approaching.
The ship that Lu Xuan was on was also a relatively large ship that could accommodate more than a thousand people, even 1,500 people. However, compared with Huang Zu's warship, the big ship that Lu Xuan was on was like
A three-year-old child is completely insignificant compared to an adult.
A rough look shows that Huang Zu's large ship can accommodate at least 3,000 people.
The large ship approaches, putting great pressure on people.
Such a large ship could completely crush and collide with Lu Xuan's ship.
When Xu Shu saw Huang Zu's big ship, he sighed with emotion: "Judging from the size of the warship, Huang Zu's warship is indeed powerful, so powerful."
Kuai Liang looked relaxed and said unhurriedly: "Huang Zu's warships are unique in Jingzhou. This is why Huang Zu is still standing. If you want to attack Jiangxia County, you first need warships. Because Jiangxia
There are waterways, rivers and lakes everywhere in the county, and it is impossible to attack without warships. Therefore, Huang Zu can easily establish a foothold in Jiangxia County."
Gan Ning looked forward to it: "I will definitely have a bigger warship in the future, and it will definitely be stronger than Huang Zu."
Lu Xuan smiled when he heard Gan Ning's words.
In the future, it will naturally become stronger.
The ships on both sides came closer and each anchored and stopped.
Huang Zu stood on the deck of the warship. He looked down at Lu Xuan from a high position and said with a smile: "Lu Shijun, would you like to come up and talk to me?"
Lu Xuan said: "Come here and send all fifty craftsmen over."
Huang Zu nodded and asked someone to put down the ladder from the big ship, put it on Lu Xuan's ship, and walked down the wooden ladder. All fifty craftsmen also came. Huang Zu came to Lu Xuan's deck and saw Lu Xuan's
In an instant, he noticed the people around Lu Xuan.
In an instant, the pupils in Huang Zu's eyes shrank, showing a look of surprise.
"Mr. Kuai Liang?"
Huang Zu's cheeks couldn't help but twitch.
Kuai Liang was the first person to follow Liu Biao. At that time, Kuai Liang was Liu Biao's military advisor and gave advice to Liu Biao. At that time, Cai Mao, Huang Zu and other heads of the big family all led their own troops to help Liu Biao. In name, they followed Liu Biao's arrangements, but in fact
Above, I am following Kuai Liang's arrangements.
All arrangements were suggested by Kuai Liang and arranged by Liu Biao.
In the past, Huang Zu was punished by Kuai Liang and lost his temper. He was very afraid of Kuai Liang.
Now, Kuai Liang unexpectedly appeared next to Lu Xuan.
Huang Zu took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said: "Mr. Kuai has ignored government affairs for many years, and now he follows Lu Shijun to Lujiang. Is he serving Lu Shijun?"
Kuai Liang nodded and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for many years, but Huang Taishou is still heroic and heroic. I have been cultivating myself for several years, and my sick body has recovered well. My lord happened to be recruiting me, so I reluctantly gave it a try."
Huang Zu praised: "I didn't expect that you went to Lujiang County. But it's normal to think about it. Lu Shijun is a genius and a man of extraordinary prowess. He is indeed the master of the Ming Dynasty. It's normal for Mr. Kuai to serve Lu Shijun."
Kuai Liang smiled softly and said no more.
Lu Xuan took the words, cupped his hands and said: "Prefect Huang, fifty craftsmen sent it, I can't thank you enough. Again, you and I are here to help each other. If Prefect Huang needs help, I will do my best to help."
Huang Zu said: "One word is settled."
His original plan was to show off his big ship to Lu Xuan and show off the strength of Jiangxia County. But when he saw that Kuai Liang had no intention of showing off, he felt his heart tremble. It was as if he was being commanded by Kuai Liang again.
when.
Huang Zu said directly: "Lu Shijun, the weather is freezing. Please hurry up and leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zu led the others and left.
Lu Xuan looked at Huang Zu leaving, handed the craftsman to Gan Ning, and said, "Mr. Kuai, I think Huang Zu is a little afraid of you?"
Kuai Liang said: "When Huang Zu followed Liu Biao, I arranged a task. Huang Zu didn't complete it. I gave him twenty punishments with my rod and beat him to death. Because of this, Huang Zu has always been a little afraid of me."
"I didn't expect that Huang Zu would have such embarrassing things. If I had known earlier, I would have dragged him to talk more."
"Let's set off and return to Lujiang County."
Lu Xuan smiled and gave the order.
The big ship set off again, heading south to the Yangtze River. Along the way, it was traveling with a favorable wind. In just two days, Lu Xuan had entered the main road of the Yangtze River and returned to the territory of Lujiang County all the way east.
The big ship sailed all the way and entered Shu County. After landing at the ferry, Lu Xuan and his party began to travel north to the county seat by land.
