Before Wang Can led his soldiers into the city, he had strictly prohibited the soldiers from disturbing the people.
The army entered the city and stationed themselves in the city.
Wang Can did not enter the prefect's mansion, but instead stayed in the military camp with the soldiers.
Wang Can sat upright in the Chinese army's tent and asked: "Prefect Lu, Wan County has fallen, and the counties around Lujiang County will also become my possessions. It is useless for you to persist. Submit to me."
Bar."
Lu Kang stubbornly shook his head and said: "Loyal ministers do not serve the two masters. Lu Kang is a minister of the Wu Kingdom, how can he be a minister of the Shu Kingdom? If the King of Shu wants to kill Lu Kang, please ask the King of Shu to kill him; if he does not want to kill, please ask the King of Shu to kill him."
The king should not interfere with Lu Kang's decision. The decision is entirely up to the King of Shu." After saying this, Lu Kang stopped talking and waited for Wang Can's decision.
After Wang Can heard this, he felt helpless.
This old man was too stubborn and made Wang Can very difficult to handle.
It is obviously impossible to kill Lu Kang. After all, Wang Can wants to keep Lu Xun in Wu Kingdom. Wang Can took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "Lu Kang, you win, let's go!"
Lu Kang glanced at Wang Can with a complicated expression, turned around and left.
When Gan Ning saw Lu Kang leaving, he said in a deep voice: "My lord, it's just Lu Kang. Just kill him."
Wei Yan then said: "Even if Lu Kang is not killed, he should be imprisoned and not allowed to leave. My lord, this is too hasty, especially since Lu Kang has been the prefect of Lujiang County for a long time and has a very high position in Wan County.
The prestige is also closely related. If Lu Kang has evil intentions, it will definitely be detrimental to our army."
Wang Can shook his head slightly and said: "I have already planned this matter. Shi A, send someone to keep an eye on Lu Kang and pay attention to who he meets after he returns home. Don't miss anyone."
"promise!"
Shi A bowed his hands and turned to leave.
Guo Jia asked: "My lord, I remember that before the army entered the city, Lu Kang's grandson Lu Xun presented the seal and ribbon of the Lujiang Prefect. You were ready to take over the seal and ribbon, so why did you suddenly change your mind and give the prefect's seal and ribbon to Lu Xun?"
Wang Can did not hide anything and said directly: "I plan to make Lu Xun the governor of Lujiang!"
"ah!!"
There was a lot of exclamations in the big tent.
Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Taishi Ci, Xu Shu and Guo Jia all looked surprised. They didn't understand why Wang Can handed over Lujiang to Lu Xun so hastily. Taishi Ci was even more shocked, and was moved by the courage Wang Can showed.
He was impressed. However, Taishi Ci couldn't figure out whether Wang Can was confident or acting blindly.
Xu Shu said: "Lu Xun's reputation is not good, and we have never had contact with him, so we don't know what his abilities are. I'm afraid it was too hasty for my lord to appoint Lu Xun as the governor of Lujiang."
Wang Can said: "Although it was a temporary idea, I thought about it carefully. Since Lu Xun is willing to take the seal, he is not a stinky stone like Lu Kang, and he will definitely be used by me."
Wei Yan curled his lips and said: "My lord, just let Lu Kang go. Lu Xun is young, and this person is Lu Kang's grandson and a minister of the Wu Kingdom. With several identities added together, you can't believe it easily. Once Lu Xun has
If you have evil intentions, the army will definitely be in danger, please think again, my lord."
Wang Can said: "I have made up my mind and there is no need to discuss it further."
Guo Jia frowned slightly when he saw Wang Can's determined look, because he followed Wang Can and knew that Wang Can had a precise vision and never made mistakes. Anyone Wang Can valued was definitely talented and would make no mistakes.
There must be a reason why Wang Can did this.
Although Guo Jia didn't know how Wang Can judged it, he believed in Wang Can's vision.
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "My lord, if Lu Xun wants to be the governor of Lujiang, he must have certain talents. Jia thinks that if Lu Xun is talented and capable, he can serve as the governor of Lujiang."
.If Lu Xun has no ideas and is just an ordinary person, it would be better to change him to a prefect."
"Okay, your words of filial piety have won my heart."
Wang Can waved his sleeves and said, "Send an order to summon Lu Xun to see you."
Not long after, Lu Xun arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
Wearing a white robe, he looked neither humble nor arrogant, and behaved appropriately. He bowed his head and bowed: "Meet the King of Shu!" Previously, Lu Xun helped Lu Kang do things, but he did not become an official.
Lu Xun was able to present the prefect's seal and ribbon on behalf of the civil and military officials of Lujiang County. On the one hand, it was because the officials of Lujiang County were not sure about Wang Can's ideas, so they pushed Lu Xun out and became the representative of the civil and military officials of Lujiang County; on the other hand, because Lu Xun was
Lu Kang's grandson, coupled with Lu Xun's insistence on Kaicheng's surrender, led to today's situation.
Wang Can nodded and said: "Give me a seat!"
The soldier came in carrying a straw pile and placed it next to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun bowed his head again and said, "Thank you so much, King Shu!"
Then, Lu Xun sat on the grass pier with a serious expression.
Wang Can said: "Lu Xun, you must know about Lu Kang. He would rather die than surrender. He wants to be a loyal minister of the State of Wu. Can you persuade Lu Kang to surrender to the king?"
Lu Xun shook his head and said: "My ancestors were stubborn, just like a stinking stone, and would never change their minds."
Wang Can thought for a moment and then asked: "Lu Kang is not willing to submit to me, but are you willing to serve as an official under me?"
Lu Xun's eyes sparkled and he said happily: "I'm so happy!"
Wang Can nodded slightly, but did not go further, nor did he say what position he would arrange for Lu Xun. He only talked about some off-topic topics with Lu Xun. As a result, Lu Xun felt a little anxious, and was confused by Wang Can. He did not understand Wang Can.
What did Can want to do? Lu Xun originally thought that Wang Can would appoint him as the governor of Lujiang County, but the current situation made his hot heart cool down.
Could it be possible that the seal and ribbon were just left with him to prepare for Lu Kang?
Lu Xun was worried, but it didn't show on his face. He remained calm as usual.
Guo Jia looked at Lu Xun from time to time, but said nothing.
Xu Shu smiled and asked: "Lu Xun, my lord has captured Lujiang County and will launch an attack on Wu County next. The war is imminent. Do you have any suggestions?"
When Lu Xun heard this, he immediately cheered up.
He raised his head and looked at Wang Can. Seeing that Wang Can didn't object and had a vague look of expectation, Lu Xun couldn't be more happy. Lu Xun was not afraid of making things difficult, but what he was afraid of was that Wang Can would directly ask him to leave. Now that Xu Shu was taking the exam, he
Lu Xun saw the opportunity.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Lu Xun, it's okay if you can't answer. You're still young."
Lu Xun was amused and understood that this was Wang Can's way of provoking the general.
Even though he knew it, he couldn't hold it back and said immediately: "Reporting to the King of Shu, I do have a few thoughts in mind regarding the destruction of Wu. First, if the King of Shu leads a large army to attack the Kingdom of Wu, will Cao Cao intervene?
What? What if Cao Cao lets his army stop the King of Shu? This is the first question that must be considered."
Wang Can became interested and asked: "What other questions are there?"
Lu Xun stood up and said unhurriedly: "Secondly, it is winter now, it is getting colder and colder, and the river is frozen, which is not conducive to the navy or the Shu army. Once a soldier is infected with wind and cold, it is easy to become ill.
diffusion."
"Thirdly, more than 300,000 Shu troops traveled long distances, far away from the hinterland, consuming countless money and food every day."
"Fourth, King Wu's 300,000-strong army was defeated, and the country's power was greatly damaged, but it still had the strength to fight again. If the Sun family was pushed into a panic, they would jump over the wall and fight with the two Shu armies. In the end, Wu would be destroyed and the Shu army would
A miserable victory."
Lu Xun said: "The above four points are the problems that the Shu army may encounter. These problems must be solved to ensure that the Wu army can be defeated reliably and that the Wu army can recover in a short time after defeating it. As the saying goes, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not successful.
Yiyu, although now is the time to attack the State of Wu, we must also consider attacking the State of Wei."
When Xu Shu heard this, he nodded secretly.
Guo Jia's shining eyes fell on Lu Xun's face and continued to ask: "Lu Xun, you have raised the issue of attacking Wu, but how should these problems be solved?"
If there are suggestions, there will naturally be solutions.
Wang Can secretly said that Guo Jia responded quickly because the solution would test his academic ability. If he couldn't come up with a solution, it would be empty talk on paper and of no practical significance.
