Lu Xuan was still looking through the information sent back by Kuai Liang, which was all about Wu Jun.
The governor of Wu County is Xu Gong.
However, not all of Wu County is under Xu Gong's control. To the south of Wu County, there is the bandit Yan Baihu, who is entrenched in Wucheng County in the south. In addition, Qiantang County in the south of Wu County is temporarily occupied by the Zhu family of Wu County.
.
In short, it will take some time and energy to clean up Wu County.
While Lu Xuan was flipping through the information, there was a burst of hurried footsteps. Kuai Liang hurriedly entered with a look of joy and reported: "My lord, the Lu family and the Gu family have taken action. There are shouts of killing from within the two families.
.”
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Gu Tong and Lu Yuan are both smart people. Since they have taken action, there will be no surprises. They will just wait."
Kuai Liang looked expectant and said: "When the situation of the two major families is stabilized and Xu Gong is surrendered, the main problem of Wu County will be solved. At that time, go directly south, sweep the area south of Wu County, and capture Wu County."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Strive to capture the entire Wu County before the autumn harvest."
Kuai Liang said: "It shouldn't be difficult."
"Report!"
The soldiers entered and bowed down to report: "Zhou Mu, Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan gave an order.
He looked at Kuai Liang and said with a smile: "Mr. Kuai, it seems that the news about the Lu family and the Gu family has reached Xu Gong's ears. Xu Gong was thinking about whether I would deal with him when I dealt with the Lu family and the Gu family, so he specially
coming."
Lu Xuan said: "This is actually a good thing. If we can solve Xu Gong's problem once and for all, we can save a lot of time."
Kuai Liang said: "My lord, what you said makes sense."
After a while, Xu Gong entered the camp. His expression was still anxious, and he said respectfully: "Xu Gong, a humble official, pays homage to the envoy."
Lu Xuan asked: "Prefect Xu doesn't sleep at night and comes to see me all night long. Is there anything wrong?"
Xu Gong looked urgent and said quickly: "When I served as the governor of Wu County in my humble position, I failed to eliminate bandits and failed to protect the country and the people. As a result, Wu County was overrun with bandits, especially in Wucheng County to the south of Wu County, where there was a big thief named Yan.
Bai Hu. Even all the counties in Wu Commandery refused to obey the transfer order. I am humble and incompetent in my position. Please resign from the post of prefect, and I ask you to choose someone more capable."
He took out the prefect's seal ribbon from his sleeve, placed it directly in front of Lu Xuan, then took two steps back and stood still.
Now Xu Gong was very frightened.
He was worried that Lu Xuan had some tricks.
If Lu Xuan also planned a trick against him, or incited people from the Prefect's Mansion to deal with him, we don't know how he died.
If Lu Xuan's power is weaker, and both the Gu family and the Lu family are on his side, Xu Gong will definitely resist. Or, Lu Xuan is just a warrior with no brains. He only knows how to lead troops to fight, has no political tactics, and does not understand conspiracy.
As a trick, Xu Gong also wants to fight again.
However, Lu Xuan had the power and means, and he was also good at fighting.
There is no way to win.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't express his position, Xu Gong became even more uneasy. He lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, saying: "Lu Shijun, the words and sentences I said about my humble position are true and they come from the bottom of my heart. I am incompetent in my humble position. Please allow me to resign."
official."
Lu Xuan stood up and walked to Xu Gong with a gentle look on his face. He helped Xu Gong up and said with a smile: "Prefect Xu, there is no need for this. I admire your ability to govern the place."
"no no!"
Xu Gong shook his head hurriedly.
He said again: "The methods used by humble officials to govern the place are very crude. The humble officials are not capable enough. I beg you to choose a suitable person to serve as the governor of Wu County."
Lu Xuan sighed and said, "Prefect Xu thinks that this officer is ruthless, so he is determined to resign?"
"No, absolutely not."
Xu Gong's heart trembled.
Of course he was afraid that Lu Xuan would be ruthless, but he couldn't talk about this matter.
Xu Gong rolled his eyes and said quickly: "The key problem is that the ability of the humble position is not enough to be qualified for the official position of Wu Commandery. The geographical location of Wu Commandery is very important. It is bordered by Xuzhou to the north, the sea to the east, and the outlet to the sea.
It is the key to connecting Xuzhou."
"In such a strategic position, if a person with such incompetence as Beizhi stays in Wu County, he can only serve as a corpse and hold back Lu Shijun. Beizhi's resignation is not due to other reasons, just lack of ability."
Lu Xuan said: "Prefect Xu is determined to resign, and I will not stop him. I agree."
call!!
Xu Gong breathed a long sigh of relief.
He is finally safe.
Xu Gong looked relaxed and bowed: "Thank you so much, Ambassador Lu."
Lu Xuanxiao said: "Prefect Xu is rich in experience, and it is a pity to be idle. Why not go to Xunyang County in Lujiang County to work. Prefect Xu was transferred from the prefect of Wu County to the prefect of Yuzhang, and will work in Xunyang County for the time being. I will arrange a small number of troops.
What do you think of cooperating with Governor Xu to conquer Yuzhang County for me? At that time, Governor Xu will be in charge of Yuzhang County."
After Xu Gong heard this, he quickly said: "I will obey my lord's arrangement and am willing to serve in Xunyang County."
He changed his name.
He directly stayed and served under Lu Xuan.
Yuzhang County is still independent and not under Lu Xuan's command. Although his name as the governor of Yuzhang County is not worthy of his name, Lu Xuan's arrangement is equivalent to recognizing him. Although it is a bit shabby, Xu Gong has no place to go, and he has already served as the governor of Yuzhang County.
Very good.
Going to the court?
In the current imperial court, warriors like Li Jue and Guo Si are in power, and I don’t know how they died after they left.
Yuan Shao in the north is too far away, and what Yuan Shao likes is a famous scholar. He is not a famous scholar, nor is he a famous scholar. Even if he is under Yuan Shao's command, he will not be reused.
The last important thing is that Xu Gong is from Yangzhou, and he is not used to it when he goes to the north. Now in Yangzhou, Lu Xuan is the only one in the family, and it has become a trend, so he might as well work for Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "These days, Governor Xu will first handle the government affairs of Wu County. When I arrange a new Governor of Wu County, it won't be too late for you to take up your post."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Xu Gong answered respectfully.
"My lord, Lu Yuan and Gu Tong would like to see you."
At this moment, another soldier entered and saluted respectfully.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Please."
Xu Gong said: "Your Majesty, I humbly resign."
Lu Xuan nodded, and Xu Gong walked out of the Chinese army's tent. As he walked out, he met Lu Yuan and Gu Tong striding towards them. The two of them strode forward, both looking high-spirited.
Such a gesture made Xu Gong feel awe-struck. It was obvious that both of them had succeeded.
Xu Gong sighed in his heart, although Lu Xuan was young, his methods were really mind-numbing.
Lu Yuan and Gu Tong entered the Chinese army's tent and saluted Lu Xuan together.
Lu Xuan looked at the two of them and asked, "You came all night, what's the matter?"
Lu Yuan looked respectful and reported: "Reporting to the envoy, Lu Qi, the patriarch of the Lu family, appeared to submit to the envoy, but in fact secretly gathered a group of people with the intention of rebelling and killing the envoy. After the common people found out, they had no time to report, so they executed him
Kill Lu Qi and others."
Gu Tong's eyes brightened, and he echoed: "Gu Cang, the patriarch of the Gu family, also ostensibly surrendered to the envoy, but in fact secretly conspired. When the common people found out, they made a decisive decision and led people to kill Gu Cang and stabilize the Gu family."
Both people are smart people.
They were not murderers, nor were they rebelling and killing family elders, they were just exterminating relatives for justice. Moreover, this statement had nothing to do with Lu Xuan. It was not Lu Xuan's arrangement, but Lu Qi and Gu Cang who conspired to rebel and were killed.
