Chapter 1160 Lu Kang personally suppressed the bandits
On November 18, bandits appeared in the west of Wan County.
That night, countless thieves broke into Zhao's house and robbed them wantonly.
The Zhao family is a powerful force in the west of Wan County. The family has raised 800 private soldiers and runs rampant. However, when the thieves broke into the Zhao family, the 800 private soldiers were like ants on the ground. They would die if they stepped on them.
Resistance. The thieves of unknown origin killed the Zhao family and stole all the money. Only some of the attendants and maids survived.
On November 20, bandits appeared again in the south of Wan County.
This time, the target of this group of thieves is the Fei family in Wan County. Like the Zhao family, the Fei family is a well-known powerful family in Wan County. They have raised 600 private soldiers and are a famous family in Wan County. Facing the bandits,
After the attack, the Fei family was easily wiped out, and some of the maids and attendants spread the news.
On November 21, bandits robbed the Hu family in the south of Wan County.
On November 24, thieves robbed the Liu family in southwest Anhui County.
Every one or two days, or every few days, a famous wealthy family will be robbed.
If you analyze it carefully, you can find that the big families such as the Zhao family, the Fei family, the Hu family and the Liu family are not good birds. They are all domineering families. These families have financial resources and power, but they are not aristocratic families with deep foundations.
There are powerful families in the countryside. These families were robbed, and ordinary people praised them, but the other powerful families were in danger.
For a time, the peaceful situation in Wan County was broken.
Everything was recorded by Lu Xun, and people were sent to track the situation.
When the powerful families were robbed one after another, the news that Sun Jian was defeated and killed also spread. The powerful families suffered heavy losses, and the people clapped their hands and applauded. However, when the news of Sun Jian's death came out, Wan County felt like it was in a violent storm.
, the people are all in danger, smelling the coming storm.
Lu Xun knew something was wrong, so he rushed to the prefect's mansion to see Lu Kang without hesitation.
It is true that Lu Kang does not agree with Lu Xun's premature contact with political affairs, but he also has to admit that Lu Xun is talented and is the top figure of the younger generation of the Lu family. This is an undisputed fact. Even his precious son cannot compare to Lu Xun
.
In front of Lu Kang, Lu Xun did not dare to make any mistakes.
He put away his frivolous attitude, sat upright, and said seriously: "Congzu, considering all aspects of the situation, Wan County has been caught in some kind of conspiracy. You can carefully analyze why bandits suddenly appeared in peaceful Wan County? Why did Wu
The news of the king's murder came sooner or later, but why does it come at this time? This matter must be treated with caution."
Lu Kang said: "I already know about the bandits."
Lu Xun asked: "In this case, how should Congzu deal with it?"
Lu Kang did not answer and immediately asked: "Lu Xun, do you think the news that King Wu was killed is true?"
Lu Xun replied: "Congzu, the news is indeed true. A few days ago, when I asked Lu Ji to tell you that there were bandits, I sent people to pay attention to the news from all aspects, and also sent people to inquire about the surrounding news. I accidentally learned that King Wu was defeated.
Not only that, the eldest son Sun Ce, the naval commander Zhou Yu, the veterans Huang Gai and Zu Mao were also defeated and killed. Now, Wang Can has led the army towards Yuzhang County with the intention of taking Yuzhang County.
"
Lu Kang frowned after hearing this.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, it may be that the rebel bandits found out about the death of King Wu early, and then took the opportunity to cause rebellion, hoping to gain benefits at this time."
Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Cong Zu, things are not simple."
Lu Kang smiled and said: "What's so complicated? Didn't you say that Wang Can led his army to Yuzhang County? In that case, the turmoil in Anhui County must be caused by bandits, and there can be no other things."
Lu Xun said with certainty: "Congzu, I think there may be traces of Wang Can among them."
Lu Kang pointed at Lu Xun and scolded him with a smile: "You kid knows how to think wildly. Wang Can is not a god, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms. He is busy attacking Yuzhang County, so he has no time to incite bandits to cause chaos. Well, even if Wang Can is fanning the flames, but
Without Wang Can's army as backup, everything is in vain. If I lead the army to attack, the bandits will definitely be wiped out."
Lu Xun said: "Congzu, at this time we should take a long-term approach and consider it carefully."
Lu Kang waved his hands impatiently and said: "What's wrong with you kid? It was you who told me to pay attention to thieves, and it was you who told me to be cautious. Should I send troops? Or not? I don't understand.
Your thoughts. Think about that time when I led the army to suppress Huang Rang, and the army killed him, and everything was settled."
Lu Xun said: "This moment and that moment cannot be confused."
Lu Kang waved his hand and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. You stay in the city and I will lead three thousand soldiers to suppress the bandits. Huh, a group of thieves and bandits dare to act arrogantly in Wan County. They are impatient to live."
Lu Xun put his hand on his forehead and felt a headache.
He came to persuade Lu Kang to pay attention to the bandits and deal with them with caution, but he did not want to encourage Lu Kang to personally encircle and suppress them.
Lu Xun thought about it carefully and then asked: "Congzu, do you know where the bandits are hiding? If you don't even know the location of the encirclement and suppression, how can you suppress the bandits?"
Lu Kang suddenly realized it and said, "Yes, why did I forget this?"
Lu Kang smoothed his beard under his chin, his eyes fell on Lu Xun's face, and he asked with a smile: "You have been paying attention to this matter. You must know where the bandits are hiding. Tell me."
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot.
He originally wanted to make things difficult for Lu Kang, but he played into Lu Kang's heart.
Lu Xun sighed and said: "In the mountain depression fifteen miles due south of Wan County, that is the hiding place."
Lu Kang said with a smile: "Well, you are indeed the thousand-mile horse of my Lu family. Although your boy doesn't like studying and learning, he is excellent in all other aspects and is impeccable."
Lu Xun said modestly: "I have paid tribute to my ancestors."
"Bang! Bang!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Lu Kang asked: "What's the matter?"
"Sir, the wealthy gentry in Wan County have handed over their famous assassins to meet you. They are all waiting outside the mansion." The voice of the steward of the prefecture came from outside the study.
Lu Kang ordered: "Tell them that I will summon soldiers to suppress the bandits today and let them go back."
"yes!"
The butler agreed and turned around to deliver the news.
Lu Kang's face was filled with rosy luster and he was extremely excited. Twenty years ago, Lu Kang led the army to suppress the bandits. He was so energetic that he easily suppressed Huang Rang. Now Lu Kang is old, over fifty, but his heart is not old.
He ordered in a loud voice: "Lu Xun, after I leave the city, you can temporarily take over the affairs of Anhui County and don't make any mistakes."
Lu Xun helplessly held up his hands and said, "Yes!"
Lu Kang laughed loudly and strode out of the study.
…
Southwest of Wan County, in the valley.
With a happy face, Shi A ran to Wang Can and said with a smile: "My lord, Military Advisor Guo's plan has succeeded, it really has! According to the news from the wealthy gentry in Wan County, Lu Kang is already gathering soldiers and is preparing to lead the army.
Three thousand soldiers went to suppress the bandits fifteen miles due south of Wan County. Lu Kang took the initiative to send troops and fell into the trap."
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I knew that Lu Kang couldn't stay idle."
Wang Can nodded and said: "Very good, as long as we have Lu Kang as a trump card, we can take over Wan County without spending a single soldier. Fengxiao, you have made a great contribution."
Guo Jiaxiao said: "My lord, you are too praised!"
Wang Can put away his smile and ordered: "Send the order, order Wei Yan and Gan Ning to each command 10,000 soldiers to ambush fifteen miles due south of Wan County. When Lu Kang's soldiers arrive, they will surround Lu Kang and be sure to capture him alive.
.Remember clearly, no matter who kills Lu Kang without authorization, even if it is a manslaughter, he must wipe his own neck and don't appear in front of me."
"promise!"
Gan Ning and Wei Yan responded with clasped fists and immediately went to order troops.
Ps: The third update is completed and we will call it a day. The moving business is finally over and we will continue to pay off the debt tomorrow.
