On this day, Yuan Shu was handling government affairs in the General's Mansion, when suddenly Guo Jia came.

"My lord, there has been some turmoil in the Zhang family recently."

A gleam flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes: "Oh? Could they finally bear it?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, you have done so well. Naturally, the Zhang family is going to jump over the wall."

"However, the head of the Lu family secretly sent me a letter reporting the matter."

"Oh?" These old foxes are indeed clever.

"Since the Lu family is so understanding, we naturally have to respond. Fengxiao, wait until this matter is over, promote Lu Kang to the prefect of Kuaiji, and then talk to the Lu family."

Guo Jia nodded.

Lu Kang was the head of the Lu family in Jiangdong and once served as the prefect of Lujiang.

After Yuan Shu was made the governor of Yangzhou, he made Sun Jian the governor of Lujiang, in order to firmly control the most important county in Yangzhou. So Lu Kang was demoted, and how could he tolerate this with his status? He simply resigned directly.

, wait and see what happens.

I originally planned to carefully observe what kind of person Yuan Shu was. If he didn't have any ability, I would ignore him and live in seclusion behind the scenes or serve as the prefect of Lujiang again.

If Yuan Shu is still a heroic leader, wants to control Jiangdong, and is willing to accept the Jiangnan family, he will definitely use him again.

Lu Kang's abacus was very good, but he didn't expect to encounter Yuan Shu, a master who didn't follow the routine.

I originally wanted to wait and see what happened, watching the fire from the other side. But the opponent didn't say hello when he came up, and just came down with a combination of punches without saying a word.

Before Lu Kang could figure out what was going on, he realized that the situation seemed to be out of his control.

The entire Yangzhou seemed to be out of the control of the aristocratic family, and was held in the palm of Yuan Shu's hand.

Facing the Yuan family and 130,000 elite soldiers behind Yuan Shu, Lu Kang found that he really seemed to have no choice.

Moreover, the other party is not impatient and very stable. Both the Gu family and the Zhu family have discovered the problem and are slowly moving closer to each other. Now only the Lu family and the Zhang family are left in an awkward position.

I want to surrender, but I can't resist it and I don't have the sincerity to show it, and the other party doesn't seem to need my surrender.

Frankly speaking, if Lu Kang was in Yuan Shu's position, he would probably have made the decision to use the Gu family and the Zhu family to suppress the Lu family and the Zhang family, or even eliminate his own family as local snakes.

Then slowly weaken the remaining two families and support other small families. Or in other words, just bring the Yuan family over and make one family the dominant family.

Facing the profound and powerful Yuan Shu, Lu Kang was completely panicked.

At this time, the Zhang family contacted him, hoping to form an alliance with him to fight against Yuan Shu.

Lu Kang, that old guy of Zhang Xuan, knows all too well that he is mediocre and short-sighted. Although he has successfully maintained the status of the Zhang family as one of the four major families for so many years as the head of the family, in fact, due to his domineering behavior and many bad things, the Zhang family has become

It's in danger.

However, Lu Kang was very surprised that the other party could find an alliance with him. It was not because Lu Kang was crazy and wanted to confront Yuan Shu and seek his own death. It was because the Zhang family just happened to be a great gift for the Lu family to surrender to Yuan Shu.

Lu Kang calmly pretended to be in alliance with the other party, and from time to time showed his anger towards Yuan Shu, but secretly continued to inquire about the Zhang family's information.

As expected, a big surprise was discovered. The other party sought death and contacted Fei Zhan, the commander of the Shanyue people in Danyang, to prepare to attack Danyang.

Lu Kang reported the news to Yuan Shu immediately and did not hide it at all.

Because he knew that Yuan Shu was a powerful leader, which was evident from his series of actions since entering Yangzhou.

As a hero, the information on natural forces is not bad. I am afraid that every move of myself and the Zhang family is under the surveillance of the other party. No matter how slow the other party is, it is estimated that the other party will be able to detect this news soon. I report it as soon as possible, which is a timely help.

, if it’s too late, it’s the icing on the cake.

How could the mature Lu Kang not understand this truth and immediately secretly pass the news to Guo Jia, who was in charge of intelligence under Yuan Shu.

As a result, Guo Jia received the same two pieces of information almost at the same time and came to report to Yuan Shu.

"Fengxiao, please tell me the details."

"Yes, my lord. We have about 400,000 Shanyue people in Yangzhou. They all live in remote mountains and are difficult to conquer. There are nearly 100,000 Shanyue people in Danyang, and about 30,000 are young and strong. This time we are planning to attack the Shanyue people in Danyang County.

There are about 20,000 people in the army. The leader of the army is named Feizhan, and his target is Danyang. The lord only needs to send any of the trapped troops or the dead soldiers first to defeat them, and then send 500 cavalry to chase and kill the defeated troops.

It can basically annihilate them all.”

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment and said: "Let the trapped camp and the dead soldiers go together. The elites who have seen blood are the real elites, and they can prevent accidents. As for the remaining 500 cavalry, let's send Bo Fu.

.”

Yuan Shu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his energetic, tiger-headed adopted son.

Guo Jia nodded, this was a good thing purely to gain military merit, so it would be good to let Sun Ce go.

Sun Jian's son Guo Jia also met him and made a comment at that time: This son's qualifications are not inferior to those of the Overlord of Chu!

If it weren't for his impatience, Guo Jia felt that Sun Ce would be enough as a side general.

There will definitely be no problem in sending Sun Ce, not to mention that the lord's son is still under Sun Ce's command.

Guo Jia sighed when he thought of the young master who was no more than a middle-aged man.

The road has been paved, I hope you can live up to your expectations, young master, and don't let down the training and expectations that your master has for you!

"Who else is with the Zhang family this time?"

Guo Jia's face condensed: "In addition to the Zhang family, there are seven or eight small and medium-sized aristocratic families and many wealthy gentry. In addition, Huang Zu from Jingzhou seems to be involved."

Yuan Shu smiled softly: "The Huang family's hands in Jingzhou are a bit too long!"

"Fengxiao, after Shanyue was defeated, quickly captured all these people and their families in Yangzhou. All those who were directly involved in this matter were beheaded in public. The other men were beaten into slaves to build roads, and all the women were driven away.

In the textile workshop, no direct descendants were left."

"As for all the properties under their command being confiscated and the vacant official positions being redistributed, remember to take care of the Lu family. This can be regarded as a return gift from me, Yuan Shu."

"Yes. So, lord, what will happen to the Huang family?"

"Let Wang Rui suppress and warn them. We can't do anything to them yet. We must focus on the overall situation."

A sly smile appeared on Guo Jia's lips: "My lord is wise. But my lord, I heard that the Cai family seems to have some quarrel with the Huang family."

Yuan Shu waved his hand: "It's up to you to arrange these. But you must remember to keep a complete count of the fields and slaves of the Jiangdong family, and don't let other families take advantage of it. In addition, watch the Lu family, even though the old man said

We have a general understanding, but we still have to be on guard."

Guo Jia bowed: "Yes, Jia understands. Jia will go and prepare now."

Yuan Shu nodded and continued busy with his government affairs.
