The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 246 Going to the Lu Family
"Since both General Li and Gong Jin think that we should fight steadily, then do as you say." Sun Ce remembered what he was about to say just now, "General Li, I wonder if you can capture Liu Biao alive and hand it over to me after you capture Xiangyang. ?”

"If our army can capture Liu Biao alive, we will definitely hand him over to Bo Fu, but if Liu Biao commits suicide or dies due to other reasons, then I can only hand over the body to you..." Li Yuan did not guarantee that Liu Biao must be alive "Bo Fu, I don't know if you have heard of one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao a few years ago." Li Yuan's attack on Liu Biao this time is most concerned about Liu Bei. Liu Biao's army originally did not have an outstanding general, but adding Liu Bei is different. Liu Guan and Zhang's ability to lead troops They are much more powerful than Liu Biao's generals, and with them commanding troops and horses, the combat effectiveness can at least be improved several levels.

"Liu Bei? Is it the Liu Bei who was defeated by General Li?" Sun Ce recalled carefully, but he didn't have much memory of Liu Bei.

"It's him. Although Liu Bei lost to me, this man should not be underestimated. His two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are both brave and not easy to deal with. Although I have secretly separated him from Liu Biao. It doesn’t matter, but this time he will attack Jingzhou and lead an army to face our army, but I don’t know if he will be in Jingnan or Jingbei, if Ruobofu encounters them, he must be careful.”

Li Yuan reminded that even he should be very cautious when facing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If he doesn't remind Sun Ce, he may suffer a disadvantage.

"I have also heard about Guan and Zhang. I heard that they once defeated Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun." Sun Ce also heard about this.

"In my opinion, the possibility of Liu Bei staying in Jingbei is relatively high," Zhou Yu said with a meaningful smile, "As far as I know, General Li drove Liu Bei out of Beihai, but he hates you very much, so he stayed in Jingbei to deal with it You are more likely."

"Brother Zhou, I have a different opinion, because Xiangyang is located in Jingbei, and Liu Biao has a relatively strong control over Jingbei. Stay in Jingbei." Li Yuan analyzed, but no matter what the situation is, he can handle it, since he can defeat Liu Bei once, he can defeat Liu Bei a second time.

"General Li, if we adopt a steady and steady strategy, I plan to gather the strength of the five counties to go to Chaisang, and then take a boat across the river to Wulin and march towards Jiangling. At that time, General Li can start from Lujiang and march into Jiangxia. We will join the two groups of soldiers and horses." Attacking Liu Biao will definitely be exhausting, and I will take the opportunity to sweep Jingzhou in one fell swoop, what do you think of this strategy?" Zhou Yu said the route of the attack.

"Brother Zhou's strategy is good, but it consumes a lot of troops, and the speed is slow. I have another way. Our army will be divided into two groups. One will send troops from Lujiang to attack Jiangxia, and the other will send troops from Runan to attack Xinye. As long as one of the soldiers and horses can break through the city, they can go straight to Xiangyang, Liu Biao is in Xiangyang, and the soldiers and horses from other places will do their best to save them when they know it, and it will be much easier for Brother Bofu to send troops to attack Jingnan." Li Yuan had already had a feeling in his heart. Scheduled.

"General Li may lose a lot of soldiers by doing this. How can I..." Sun Ce knew that although Li Yuan's move could attract most of Liu Biao's troops, the consumption of troops must be very high. How could he let Li Yuan do this? .

"Bo Fu doesn't need to say much. Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Although this will lose a lot of soldiers and horses, it will allow you to quickly capture Jingnan. If you capture Jingnan, you will immediately go north to help our army, and work together to encircle and suppress Liu Biao's troops and horses. Xiangyang." Li Yuan believed that Sun Ce would assist him after capturing Jingnan, so he took the risk of doing so.

"Don't worry, General Li. If I, Sun Ce, conquer Jingnan, I will do my best to help you conquer Jingbei." Sun Ce assured Li Yuan. To their surprise, Li Yuan not only let them intervene in Jingbei, but also helped them attract most of Liu Biao's troops, allowing them to capture Jingnan first. Li Yuan's demeanor once again convinced Sun Ce.

Li Yuan dared to do this because Sun Ce was an upright and heroic person who didn't know how to play tricks. If it were Cao Cao, Li Yuan would never dare to do this.

Seeing Sun Ce's admiration for Li Yuan, Zhou Yu felt more and more uneasy. Although he didn't know why, he always felt that this was not a good thing, and he even thought that Li Yuan did it on purpose.

After discussing the Jingzhou strategy with Sun Ce, Li Yuan left the mansion.

It wasn't until he was far away that Xu Zhu asked, "My lord, why did you help Sun Ce like this? Didn't you say that after defeating Liu Biao, Sun Ce would become our enemy?"

"I did this to make Sun Ce grateful to me. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others are famous people, and Sun Ce is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If I defeat him in the future, there is a good chance to persuade him to work for me. So I try to make him appreciate me."

"I see. No wonder my lord is so kind to Sun Ce." Xu Zhu nodded in understanding, "My lord, shall we go to Jianye and return to Lujiang by boat?"

"No, let's not go, I still need to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Zhongkang, I asked you to inquire about the residence of Lu's family, have you already found out?" Li Yuan asked Xu Zhu to inquire about the address of Lu's family in Wujun when he came to Wujun.

"Yes, the soldiers of the Huwei Battalion have already found out that the Lu family is a big family in Jiangdong, and it is very easy to find."

"Well, I'll go to Lu's house first, and you take the soldiers to find an inn to rest." Li Yuan wanted to go to Lu's house alone.

"My lord, don't you need us to protect you?" Xu Zhu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it would be rude to take you there, I can go alone."

"Then I'll wait at the inn and wait for the lord to come back." Xu Zhu led the soldiers of the Tiger Guards to the inn, and Li Yuan went to Lu's house alone.

The Lu family is a well-known family in the local area. Lu Kangde, the head of the previous generation, was highly respected. Lu Kang served as the governor of Jiujiang, but later fell out with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu instigated Sun Ce to attack Lujiang, and Yuan Shu also took the opportunity to occupy Lujiang.

After Sun Ce captured Lujiang, Lu Kang died of illness. It is said that Lu Kang's death was related to Sun Ce's attack on Lujiang, so the Lu family has always resented the Sun family, but because of the interests of the family, many members of the Lu family became officials under the Soochow This is also a forced choice.

Lu Kang is Lu Xun's grandfather. When he was in Lujiang, he sent Lu Xun to Wu County. Lu Xun's father, Lu Jun, died when Lu Xun was young, so after Lu Kang also died of illness, Lu Xun became the Lu family. The only pillar, he took over the position of Patriarch when he was only in his teens, making him far more mature than his peers, but he is actually only 16 years old this year, very young.
