The door opened, and Lu Ji walked to the study respectfully, bowed and said, "My child has met his father!"
Lu Kang nodded slightly and ordered: "Sit down!"
Lu Ji lifted up his robe and sat down, sitting upright just like Lu Kang. The behavior of the two of them was not like father and son, but more like a clear-cut superior-subordinate relationship. Lu Ji was Lu Kang's subordinate and he abided by the rules.
Dare to go beyond.
Lu Ji didn't realize it, as if everything that happened was natural. The most important thing is that Lu Ji was only thirteen years old. He was already very mature in his behavior and every move he made was like an old Confucian scholar. Although Lu Ji's appearance was slightly
He looks childish, but his expression is always tense, and he doesn't have the childishness that a teenager should have.
Lu Kang was satisfied, but looked serious and asked in a deep voice: "If you don't study in the backyard, what do you want from me?"
Lu Ji leaned forward and replied: "Returning to my father, Lu Xun asked my son to tell his father that banditry has suddenly broken out in Anhui County and the people are restless. This is very unusual. Please pay attention to it."
"Snapped!!"
When Lu Xun was mentioned, Lu Kang's expression changed drastically, and he slapped his palms hard on the desk.
Lu Kang puffed his beard and glared, and shouted: "Lu Xun can just report it himself if he has something to do. How can I ask you to do it? Huh, although you are young, you are Lu Xun's elder. How can you obey that kid Lu Xun in everything?"
"Yes, my child knows."
Lu Ji answered expressionlessly, but secretly complained in his heart, thinking that Lu Xun had tricked him.
Lu Xun is the grandson of Lu Kang. He is a grandson and a junior of Lu Ji. However, Lu Xun is older. Lu Ji is thirteen years old this year and Lu Xun is seventeen years old. The situation of Lu Xun and Lu Ji is similar to that of Xun Xun.
Yu and Xun You are the same. The older people are the juniors, while the younger ones are the elders.
Lu Kang became angry, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became stagnant, and Lu Ji no longer dared to speak.
After a long time, Lu Ji slowly raised his head and took a sneak peek.
Seeing that Lu Kang calmed down, Lu Ji continued: "Father, there are so many bandits around Wan County, how should we deal with them?"
Lu Kang said in a deep voice: "What kind of bandit trouble? This is Lu Xun's rumor to stir up trouble. Although Lujiang County has not reached the point of not closing the door at night and not picking up lost things, it is still peaceful. Wan County is the seat of the county government, and there are troops stationed there. How dare the bandits make trouble. I
I guess it's just a few overbearing dudes causing trouble, so there's nothing to worry about. My father's association will send out government officials to deal with the matter, so you don't have to worry. Study hard and learn, that's the most important thing, do you understand?"
Lu Ji nodded his head repeatedly and said honestly: "Yes, I understand, kid."
Lu Kang waved his hand and said: "Go!"
Lu Ji stood up slowly, bowed and saluted Lu Kang, then turned and left the study.
When Lu Kang saw Lu Ji leaving, his serious expression disappeared and was replaced by a kind and kind smile. He stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard under his chin, with a look of satisfaction shining in his eyes.
Lu Ji behaved appropriately under his guidance. This is the style of everyone and the style of the Lu family.
But when Lu Kang thought of Lu Xun, his face fell again.
Lu Xun was young, but he did not concentrate on learning. He paid attention to the affairs in the county all day long, which made Lu Kang worried. This is not that Lu Kang did not like Lu Xun's contact with political affairs, but Lu Kang hoped that Lu Xun would do well in learning and wait for his studies to be completed.
So he became an official again, but it was a pity that Lu Xun did not listen to Lu Kang's words, which made Lu Kang unhappy.
Lu Ji left the study and breathed a long sigh of relief.
A young man appeared outside the courtyard and waved to Lu Ji.
This young man was tall and tall, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. He was dressed in white and stood out, but he had a frivolous look on his face. He was leaning against a beam in the corridor, looking like a playboy.
This person is none other than Lu Xun.
Lu Ji frowned slightly, but still strode towards Lu Xun.
"Lu Xun, what do you want from me?"
Lu Ji said unhappily that he had been taught by Lu Kang since he was a child, that he should behave generously and decently, and that every move he made should have the demeanor of a young man, but Lu Xun's behavior obviously did not meet Lu Ji's standards.
Lu Xun asked, "Lu Ji, how did you go about informing my grandfather?"
Lu Ji heard Lu Xun call him by his name, his expression was serious, and he said seriously: "Lu Xun, father said, you are my junior, you must respect your elders, and you can't call me by my name in the future."
Lu Ji acted like an elder, which made Lu Xun feel funny.
Kids will always be kids!
Lu Xun coughed lightly and continued: "Lu Ji, you want to know what's going on outside the house? Do you want to see some interesting things? I know a lot and I have a lot of things in my hands."
That situation was clearly tempting Lu Ji.
When Lu Ji heard this, he had a look of embarrassment on his face, snorted, and then said quickly: "Father said that the thieves and bandits in Anhui County were caused by dandies running rampant in the countryside. It is a false rumor and not worth mentioning. Father said
We will send officials from the Prefect's Mansion to handle the matter. Well, my father also said that you should study hard and don't have nothing to do all day long."
Lu Xun sighed, then smiled and said, "Lu Ji, I'm afraid my grandfather didn't tell me that he wanted me to study. You must have added it yourself to deliberately deceive me!"
Lu Ji blushed and said seriously: "Who lied to you?"
Lu Xun chuckled and said, "My grandfather has been extremely disappointed with me and would not ask me to study. Besides, I have already thoroughly read all the books in my family, so there is no point in reading any more."
Lu Ji said: "I won't argue with you, I'm going back to study."
After finishing speaking, Lu Ji turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Just halfway through, Lu Ji suddenly turned around and said, "Don't forget what you promised me." Lu Ji stuck out his tongue, made a face, and ran away without a trace.
Lu Xun smiled, shook his head and said, "I am still a child after all. It's a pity that my grandfather didn't accept my opinion. This matter is unusual, and I'm afraid there will be follow-up things. Well, I must pay close attention and make plans in advance." Lu Xun failed.
Lu Kang was alerted, but he did not give up. He turned around and left the prefect's mansion and continued to pay attention to the affairs of Wan County.
…
In the southwest of Wan County, in a wide valley.
Thirty thousand Shu troops are hidden here.
At the beginning, Wang Can led 30,000 elite troops from Jiujiang and sneaked all the way. At the same time, he sent soldiers halfway to Wan County to survey the terrain and selected a place to hide the army early.
Shi A hurriedly shuttled through the crowd and ran towards Wang Can.
Guo Jia saw Shi A coming and asked, "Shi A, how is the situation?"
Wang Can turned his eyes and looked at Shi A.
It had been four days since they arrived in Wan County and they began to plan to seize Lujiang River. The frequent banditry incidents in Wan County in the past few days were planned by Guo Jia.
The purpose of creating thieves was to test Lu Kang's reaction.
Shi A cupped his fists and said: "Reporting to my lord, according to Military Advisor Guo's plan, several bandit robberies have occurred near Wan County. Unfortunately, the news obtained from the Prefect's Mansion said that Lu Kang believed that the banditry incident was a fabrication and that he was a dandy.
For this reason, Lu Kang only sent a few government officials to deal with it, but did not send troops to encircle and suppress it."
Guo Jia said: "It seems that Lu Kang is very confident!"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Although Lu Kang did not send troops and failed to achieve our wish, Lujiang under his rule is indeed a peaceful place. Now that there are suddenly bandits, it is normal for Lu Kang not to believe it."
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said: "Lujiang was peaceful and peaceful under Lu Kang's rule, which was beyond our expectation. However, this does not affect the implementation of the plan. Shi A, send someone to spread the news of Sun Jian's murder.
If you want to disturb the hearts of the people in Wan County and continue to create chaos among thieves and bandits, you must let Lu Kang personally lead the troops."
"promise!"
Shi A clasped his fists in response and quickly carried out the order.
Wang Can smiled and asked: "Fengxiao, are you so sure that Lu Kang will personally lead the troops to suppress the bandits?"
Guo Jia was full of confidence and said confidently: "Jia has been thinking about Lu Kang these days and found that Lu Kang has clear hatred, orderly rewards and punishments, and hates thieves very much. In the third year of Guanghe (180), Lu Kang married Huang Rang
There was a rebellion with the Barbarian King of Jiangxia, and Lu Kang personally led his troops to suppress it with fierce and domineering methods. Now there are bandits again, and Lu Kang will not be content to be lonely."
Wang Can laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
