The imperial court's arrangement caught Lujiang off guard. If the imperial court had not arranged for Liu Yao to serve as the governor of Yangzhou, Lu Xuan would have been appointed as the governor of Yangzhou.
In fact, Lu Xuan could ignore the appointment of the court, because all the princes in the world were like this. I occupied the place and took charge of the prefecture or the prefect. When people from the court came, I just drove them away.
The problem is the court's arrangements, which are disgusting.
It can also cause trouble.
Zhang Zhao thought for a while, then stood up and said: "My lord, the imperial court arranged for Liu Yao to serve as the governor of Yangzhou, which has some influence on us, but in fact it has not much influence."
"The imperial court is controlled by two Xiliang warriors, Li Jue and Guo Si. We declare to the outside world that the traitorous ministers control the imperial court and blackmail the emperor. Liu Yao's appointment as the governor of Yangzhou is not the emperor's order. It is Li Jue who suppresses you."
"In addition, Liu Yao has not entered Yangzhou yet. He will take advantage of this period to quickly publicize the fact that the lord has served as the shepherd of Yangzhou, so as to solidify the news in the hearts of the people."
"The people agree that even if Liu Yao comes to Yangzhou, it will not help."
Zhang Zhao had a tough attitude and said: "In a word, if we don't recognize Liu Yao, we will just expel him."
Lu Xuan nodded.
He did not express his position and looked at other people.
Kuai Liang stood up and said: "It would be best if we could expel Liu Yao and prevent him from taking up his post. The key is that Liu Yao cannot be expelled unless he comes to Lujiang County. The Lord only has Lujiang County, Danyang County, Wu County and other places.
None of it is in our hands."
"Under the current situation, I think Liu Yao's choices are, first, to go to Danyang County, and second, to Wu County. Between Danyang and Wu County, Danyang County has the greatest possibility."
Kuai Liang's eyes flashed with wisdom.
Lu Xuan asked: "Why?"
Kuai Liang replied: "During my time as a humble official, I learned in detail about the situation of each county in Yangzhou. To the east of Lujiang County is Danyang County, which has many mountainous areas. The southern area of Danyang County is almost dominated by mountains and crosses."
"To the north of Danyang County are Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang, and Sun Bi, the captain of Danyang."
"This is the power left by Sun Jian."
"When Sun Jian died, part of the army was detained by Yuan Shu, and the other part was in the hands of Wu Jing and Sun Bi. They went to Danyang to encircle Shanyue under Yuan Shu's order."
"Perhaps Yuan Shu had the intention of killing someone with a borrowed sword, and wanted to use Shanyue to weaken Wu Jing and Sun Ben. Unexpectedly, Wu Jing and Sun Ben went to Danyang County, defeated Shanyue in the north of Danyang, and then garrisoned in Danyang County."
"Wu Jing and Sun Ben have not participated in any of Yuan Shu's actions. It can be seen that the two people probably followed the instructions but not the propaganda. They generally followed Yuan Shu's arrangements and actually formed their own system."
"Such a thoughtful person will definitely go to greet Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao when he sees him, and use Liu Yao to enhance his influence."
"Liu Yao is an empty shell."
"If he goes to serve under Yuan Shu, he will only be bullied. Therefore, as long as Wu Jing sends people to contact him and the two sides hit it off, Liu Yao will definitely go to Danyang County. As for Wu County, the power of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, is not weak."
"Perhaps Xu Gong and the big families in Wu County will support Liu Yao and take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. However, it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to welcome Liu Yao to Wu County as a father. He is a local emperor, and he has to welcome a father back to provide for him.
, no one wants to."
Kuai Liang said: "This is my judgment."
Lu Xuan was filled with admiration in his heart.
Kuai Liang is awesome!
Historically, Liu Yao was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou. Liu Yao did not dare to go to the post at first. Wu Jing and Sun Ben sent people to contact him and brought Liu Yao to Qu'a to establish a foothold.
It was only later that internal strife broke out.
Lu Xuan said directly: "I agree with Kuai Liang's analysis. According to this conclusion, our main battlefield is actually in Danyang County, which is where we will attack from the beginning."
Zhou Yu took over and said: "My lord, I agree with Shangshu Kuai's analysis. But I think that when we attack Danyang next, the battlefield will not stop here. The entire power of Yangzhou will be mobilized because of our start of the war."
Lu Xuan asked: "How to say?"
Zhou Yu analyzed: "We are hostile to Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Shu has always wanted revenge in his heart. The imperial court arranged for Liu Yao to come to Yangzhou. Once Liu Yao establishes a foothold in Danyang County and we start a war with Liu Yao, Yuan Shu will most likely take advantage of it."
"Yuan Shu will not support Liu Yao, but he will definitely deal with Lujiang County."
"Of course, as Kuai Shangshu mentioned, the Wujun clan is likely to add fuel to the flames and support Liu Yao behind the scenes. Therefore, in the next battle, not only Liu Yao, but also Yuan Shu and the Wujun clan will be considered."
Zhou Yu said: "This is a big battle. Only if we win this battle can we have a chance to control Yangzhou."
Zhang Zhao took the initiative and said: "My lord, I agree with the analysis of Kuai Liang and Zhou Yu. Now that we have judged the situation, we must deal with it separately. On Yuan Shu's side, he arranged for Tai Shici to contain it in Hefei. On Wujun's side, he sent people to appease the big families in Wujun."
"As long as the big families in Wu County don't move, there is no need to worry about the tribute."
"Without the intervention of Yuan Shu and the Wujun clan, Liu Yao is left in Danyang County and can directly attack. But back to the Wujun clan, the previous treatment of the Wujun clan merchants offended people. Now, we need to arrange for people to ease the situation.
relation."
Kuai Liang objected: "No need, as long as the big family in Wu County doesn't take action. Once they do, they will be dealt with together."
Zhang Zhao looked serious and objected: "There is obviously a way to defeat the enemy without fighting, so why must we fight? Temporarily give the benefits to the Wu Jun clan, and in exchange for their support, the lord can capture Danyang and further seize Wu.
County. When it is time to give in, we still have to give in. This is not admitting defeat, but a strategic concession."
Kuai Liang said solemnly: "I don't agree. If you give in now for a small profit, do you have to give in when more interests are involved in the future? If the lord has this strength, he can fight. The one who fights on his own is the most stable.
.”
Lu Xuan raised his hand and pressed down to stop the argument between Kuai Liang and Zhang Zhao.
Lu Xuan looked at Gu Yong below and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
Everyone looked over at once.
It suddenly dawned on me.
This is the patriarch of the Gu family, the person with the right to speak in the Gu family. Gu Yong has not expressed his position yet.
Gu Yong smiled and said: "I suggest you fight for your humble position, no compromise is needed. In order to stabilize the big families in Wu County, you choose to compromise, and the price you will pay in the future will be even greater. To suppress these big families, you must let them see their strength. Then, show kindness."
The only way to win over others is to use kindness and power at the same time. Compromising with them will only get them slapped in the face."
Lu Xuan praised: "Brother-in-law is right, let's start the war directly. But before starting the war, send a letter to the Lu family and the Gu family. I am the shepherd of Yangzhou. I want to go to war with Liu Yao. Please support the Lu family and the Gu family."
"I don't ask them to help me, as long as they remain neutral."
"If they don't interfere, there are only two battlefields in Yuan Shu and Danyang County, and the war will not be difficult."
"If they are unwilling and insist on getting involved, then we will fight to the end."
"In fact, if they jump out to support Liu Yao, I can solve them all. On the contrary, I can solve the big problem of Wu County once and for all. The local land is in the hands of the big families. If they don't jump out, how can I use the land to resettle the people?
Woolen cloth?"
"I hope they support Liu Yao."
A solemn murderous look flashed through Lu Xuan's eyes.
He wanted to see if the Wujun Lu family, as his own family, supported him or outsiders.
If you support outsiders, you should be killed.
Killing them will free up the cages for birds and resettle more people.
When Kuai Liang heard Lu Xuan's words, a smile appeared on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey my orders."
Zhang Zhao made no further objections. Lu Xuan had made his decision. There was no need to argue. He bowed and said, "I humbly obey my orders."
Everyone, no more arguments.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Our general direction has been decided. Next, we will announce that I will serve as the shepherd of Yangzhou. In addition, we will make further arrangements for the spring plowing. After the spring plowing is over, we will send troops to attack Danyang County. This year's mission is to capture Danyang and Wu County.
.”
"Here!"
Everyone answered in unison.
Once the policy is clear, everyone will arrange around the set strategy.
In a short period of time, the news of Lu Xuan's appointment as the shepherd of Yangzhou spread. To the people of Lujiang County, it was natural for Lu Xuan to serve as the shepherd of Yangzhou. Some people who believed deeply in Lu Xuan wished that Lu Xuan would become the emperor.
The emperor doesn't care whether they live or die.
Lu Xuan takes care of them.
There was no reaction from Lujiang County, but the news about Lu Xuan spread to other counties in Yangzhou, instantly causing shock.
Everyone knows Lu Xuan's ambition.
It was also clear that Lu Xuan was going to send troops.
