After Lu Xuan left Danyang County, the army advanced eastward, first to Moling, then to Hushu, and finally to Jurong County on the northeastern border of Danyang County.
Wherever you go, you are invincible.
Everywhere, submit directly.
Wu Jingdu, the prefect of Danyang, was killed, and no one dared to resist.
Lu Xuan's attack along this route was also very particular. He did not go deep south and was in the area close to the Yangtze River. As he advanced eastward, he could rely on local supplies on the one hand, and on the other hand he could also take advantage of the convenience of the Yangtze River to transport supplies.
Lu Xuan captured Jurong County and advanced into Qu'a County, north of Wu County.
This time, it was still successfully captured.
Lu Xuan captured Qu'a County. He temporarily guarded Qu'a County and asked Huang Zhong to take 10,000 elites to capture Dantu County in the northernmost part of Wu County. This is a county close to the estuary of the Yangtze River and north of Wu County.
The location of the ferry must be in Lu Xuan's hands.
While Lu Xuan was guarding Qu'a, he received a letter from Taishi Ci.
After Lu Xuan read the news about Taishi Ci, he couldn't help but be amazed when he learned that Taishi Ci adopted Xu Shu's strategy and defeated Yuan Shu's army with only 300 men, killing Yuan Shu until he was defeated.
Xu Shu dared to make plans, and Taishi Ci dared to fight.
Not bad indeed.
For this reason, Lu Xuan sent a special letter of praise, praising Xu Shu and Tai Shi Ci for their boldness and carefulness.
Taishi Ci had stabilized, and Lu Xuan relaxed even more and worked hard to stabilize the situation in Qu'a County.
In late May, Huang Zhong captured Dantu County, wiped out the resistance of Dantu, and after stabilizing Dantu, he sent his army back to Qu'a to join Lu Xuan.
At this point, Lu Xuan is in control of the northern area of Danyang County and the northern area of Wu County, which are close to the Yangtze River. As for deeper and complete control, it will take time.
For now, that's enough.
On this day, we were at the southern ferry in Qu'a County.
Lu Xuan and his men boarded the ship, and large ships lay across the river, carrying Lu Xuan's army southward.
On the deck of the big ship.
Lu Xuan leaned against the side of the ship, with Zhou Yu, Kuai Liang, Pang Tong and Lu Meng beside him.
Kuai Liang's eyes were deep and he reported: "My lord, we have inquired about the situation of the Lu family and the Gu family in Wu County. The person in charge of the Lu family in Wu County is named Lu Qi. He is over fifty years old and can be regarded as a distant brother of Mr. Lu."
"Lu Qi is greedy. He is obsessed with power and squeezes the power of the Lu family. He even preaches everywhere that the Lu family has not failed the lord, it is the lord who has failed the Lu family. One day the lord will understand that he cannot live without the Lu family.
.”
"The person in charge of the Gu family is named Gu Cang. He is in his early forties. He is very ambitious and is actively trying to win over and develop power in Wu County. Moreover, this person is also very dissatisfied with Gu Yong and thinks that Gu Yong's actions have betrayed the Gu family."
"In short, the people in charge of the Lu family and the Gu family are all morons. These people have no other thoughts than staring at the one-third of an acre of land in Wu County."
"They are of no use to my lord."
A cold light flashed across Kuai Liang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I would like to suggest that after my lord arrives in Wu County, he should kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and give him a thorough beating. Otherwise, people from the two major families will definitely use your reputation to do evil."
Lu Xuan asked: "Are there any younger and ambitious people in the Lu family and the Gu family?"
"Of course!"
Kuai Liang nodded in reply.
During this period, Kuai Liang was specifically responsible for the intelligence around Lu Xuan.
Many news are summarized by Kuai Liang.
Lu Xuanxiao said: "Since both the Lu family and the Gu family have people like this, it will be easy to handle. Give me the information on these young people, I will use it."
"Here!"
Kuai Liang nodded in reply.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't continue, he didn't ask further questions. He just thought about it in his heart, how would Lu Xuan arrange it?
Do we need to rely on young people to break the situation?
Lu Xuan chatted with Kuai Liang, Zhou Yu and others, and the army went south. However, when Lu Xuan went south, he had already sent a message ordering Xu Gong to surrender, otherwise he would be killed without mercy.
This is Lu Xuan's attitude.
Lu Xuan had swept all over the place and had an absolute advantage. And Lu Xuan was different from outsiders. He was from Wu County, and he was from a big family like the Lu family, so Lu Xuan's arrangements in Wu County would be very easy, no matter what
Under the premise, there will be people from the Lu family who will fall to Lu Xuan.
This is Lu Xuan's biggest advantage.
When Lu Xuan went south along the river, Wu County, Wu County.
Beicheng, Lu family.
This is a large family in Wu County and has huge influence in Wu County.
In the Lu family hall, Lu Qi, the head of the family of this generation, is sitting on the main seat, with deep worry on his old face. He is over fifty years old, and in terms of status, he is Lu Kang's younger brother. He lives in Wuxian County.
The Lu family has been in power for many years.
Lu Qi previously believed that the Lu family was Lu Xuan's family, and since Lu Xuan became the eunuch, he should arrange for people from the Lu family to hold important positions so that the Lu family could take the opportunity to develop. However, Lu Xuan did not take any care of him and instead killed Lu Tong, weakening the family.
The Lu family's business.
So Liu Yao came, and Lu Qi arranged for Lu Meng to support Liu Yao with a tribe of three thousand families.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jingdu died.
Lu Meng also escaped back.
Lu Qi's eyes were eager as he looked down at Gu Cang, the head of the Gu family, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Gu Xian, Lu Xuan left Qu'a County and came to Wu County. Although there are Piling County and Wuxi County in the north, these two places,
It can't be stopped at all, we must have a strategy to deal with it."
Gu Cang gritted his teeth and said, "If we ignore Lu Xuan, is it possible that Lu Xuan really dares to kill people?"
Lu Qi said: "When Lu Tong was doing business in Shu County, I thought Lu Xuan didn't dare to kill anyone, but he killed Lu Tong. I even thought that Lu Xuan was a member of the Lu family and should help the Lu family, but Lu Xuan didn't care at all.
.Brother Gu Xian, do you think Lu Xuan dares to kill someone?"
Gu Cang hesitated.
For a moment, he felt irritable inside.
Lu Qi sighed: "If Lu Xuan's ability is ordinary, it will be useless even if he comes to Wu County. If Lu Xuan is an outsider and not from Wu County, the entire Lu family, everyone in the family, will fight to the death."
"But Lu Xuan is from Wu County, and Gu Yong is also from Wu County."
"Once Lu Xuan was angered, he brutally slaughtered you and me, and even killed countless people from the Lu family and the Gu family, so he could support the people of the Lu family and the Gu family. Because both parties are related to each other and are supported by the same family.
, will not resist Lu Xuan, but will be grateful to Lu Xuan for giving him the opportunity."
Gu Cang's expression changed slightly.
He clenched his fists and unclenched them in an instant, asking: "Brother, do you mean we give in?"
Lu Qi said: "The situation is not up to anyone, so there is nothing wrong with bowing down temporarily. We are a large family in Wu County and have enough influence in the local area. Lu Xuan has to rely on us to govern the place, so there is no need to worry."
Gu Cang rolled his eyes, laughed after a moment, and said: "That's right, let's bow our heads for now. But if we bow our heads, can we get Lu Xuan's consent? I'm worried that Lu Xuan won't give in."
Lu Qidao: "Give him certain benefits and there will be no problem. In short, let's take it slow. When the time comes, we will have the means to seize the benefits. I suggest that the family allocate 3,000 acres of fertile land to Lu Xuan."
Gu Cang felt some pain in his heart and nodded: "I agree, but we agreed. Where is Xu Gong?"
Lu Qi's eyes flashed and he said: "We all agreed, Xu Gong can only agree. Let's go to the prefect's mansion together, and I will talk to Xu Gong and ask him to surrender with us."
Gu Cang nodded.
He and Lu Qi left the Lu family and went straight to the study room of the prefect's mansion.
When Lu Qi saw Xu Gong, he did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Prefect Xu, the people sent by our three parties to Danyang County were beaten to a pulp. Now my plan is to fight to the end. The person in charge must be capable, so
It is most suitable for Xu Taishou to take charge. I wonder what Xu Taishou’s wishes are?"
Xu Gong was in his thirties and was well-maintained. However, his appearance was a bit cold. He heard Lu Qi's words and thought about it in his mind.
The armies of the three major families were no match for Lu Xuan.
Resistance is unstoppable.
Xu Gong also knew that Yuan Shu had been defeated. He looked deeply and said: "Master Lu, I think we can't stop it, so we surrender."
"really?"
Lu Qi asked with a smile.
A flash of light flashed across Xu Gong's eyes, and he said: "Of course it is true. When Lu Xuan arrives, I, the head of the Lu family, and the head of the Gu family will join hands to submit to Lu Xuan."
"Xu Taishou's assessment of the situation is admirable."
Lu Qi laughed.
Xu Gong directly expressed his submission, which meant that everything that followed would be simple.
Whether it was Lu Qi, Gu Cang, or Xu Gong as the prefect, they all had their own plans and thoughts. The three reached a temporary agreement and announced their surrender to the outside world, waiting for Lu Xuan's arrival.
As we enter the end of May, the weather becomes hotter.
Lu Xuan led his people into Wu County. He had gone south along the way, and Piling County and Wuxi County had surrendered. Lu Xuan did not adjust local officials for the time being, because without adjustment, it would be more stable.
After capturing Xu Gong, slowly reform and adjust.
When Lu Xuan arrived outside the county town of Wu County, he was followed by a mighty army, filled with murderous intent, which was daunting.
When Lu Xuan arrived outside the north gate, Xu Gong personally brought Lu Qi, Gu Cang, and a group of officials from Wu County to greet him.
Lu Xuan's eyes sparkled.
If these people surrendered without a fight, there must be something going on. Fortunately, Lu has obtained enough intelligence and can easily deal with it.
