Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 69 The army and the people are united

"You rebellious grandson! What did I tell you when I asked you and your uncles to go back?" Lu Kang scolded his grandnephew.

Lu Xun didn't speak harshly. He knew that Lu Kang was doing it for his own good, so he immediately bowed down and said, "What the eldest father has taught me is that Xiao Xun has let you down... But Xiao Xun has no regrets! Xiao Xun has lost his father since he was a child and has no protection from his eldest father." , there is no such thing as Xiaoxun today... I also see that Bai Shijun is a loyal person, so I can't help but ask for help, for fear of hurting Bai Shijun..."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu, don't be angry with this kid, Xiaoxun is still a child!" Bai Tu liked such an honest child.

Lu Kang wanted to say: He is a child, but you are not, right?

However, as Bai Tu, it was hard for him to reprimand him, not to mention that they still came to save him.

"Hey, if it's really unstoppable, the state shepherd should take responsibility as the most important thing, and I, the Lu family... must have this catastrophe." Lu Kang said a little pessimistically.

Obviously, he didn't think he could defend Shucheng, nor did he believe that Bai Tu really had a "perfect strategy" to escape unscathed.

Lu Kang was pretty sure about his nephew, and felt that Lu Xun also died here, which meant that the Lu family "had such a disaster". This shows that he didn't quite believe in his eldest son, Lu Jun.

"That's what I said. Don't worry, Old Prefect Lu. First, ask people to prepare and load all the things I brought to the city... Do you still have the wood? Cut them into lengths of about five feet and pick out the hardwood... Guaranteed It can last for an hour or three. Besides... I think your youngest son is also quite smart." Bai Tu comforted him with half admiration.

Lu Kang: ...

Although Lu Kang also felt that Lu Jun was useless, he was a little depressed when he heard that Bai Tu also ignored his eldest son. However, when he heard "younger son", Lu Kang also had a smile on his face, but he just saw the look in Bai Tu's eyes. , couldn't help but blush, and became sullen.

Lu Kang looks like he has a long gray beard, but he is also a man who is getting stronger with age - his youngest son Lu Ji is two years younger than little Lu Xun!

"Hey, Ji'er has a good temperament and is smart and early-beneficial, but he lacks a bit of blood. If he had been born in a prosperous age, he would have left a name for eternity..." Lu Kang said with regret.

This is true. Lu Kang knew his nephew very well, so he saved Lu Xun early.

In the future, the talents of the Lu family in Soochow will be Lu Xun and Lu Ji in the mid-term, Lu Kang and Lu Kai in the later stage, and the rest will be nothing more than mediocre.

Now the latter two have not yet been born.

Although Lu Ji is very famous, it is reflected in his noble character, commenting on the scriptures, and studying astronomy. He showed disdain for using force to subdue other princes. He once suggested that Sun Quan, like Duke Huan of Qi, use "Revise Wende" to make the enemy surrender - similar to Kong Rong.

In prosperous times, it will be more effective, but in troubled times, blindly relying on "rule by virtue" is not first-class.

However, what is better than Kong Rong is that Lu Ji is not good at using troops for political affairs in troubled times. Soochow naturally does not accept his eloquent speeches. After only using him to annotate scriptures, he also concentrated on learning, so he also became famous. Yu Shi.

"Prefect Lu doesn't seem to believe that my lord can help you escape unscathed... How about a bet with you, kid Wu Zhuang?" Lu Su said at this time.

"Oh? This is..." Lu Kang naturally didn't recognize Lu Su, who was still only famous among his neighbors.

"In Lower East City, Lu Su and Lu Zijing were honored by their lordship and became the governor of Yangzhou." Lu Su said.

Lu Kang saw that Lu Su was bright and energetic and unusual, and "Chang Shi" was the "chief of staff". Yang Chang Shi was also the chief assistant of Yangzhou Mu, just like Yang Hong was to Yuan Shu, and Bai Tu regarded him Being entrusted with this position shows that I attach great importance to it, so I don’t underestimate Lu Su because I have never heard of it.
"What does Lu Changshi want to bet on?" Lu Kang asked curiously.

"I think Lu Xun is a very good boy, and I want to accept him as my disciple, but this kid said he wants his father's approval." Lu Su said helplessly.

On the road before, Lu Su was also curious as to why there was a child following Bai Tu here, so he talked with Lu Xun.

Then he discovered that Lu Xun, who was not very young, not only had the stability of an adult, but also was the best choice in terms of temperament and intelligence, especially... the "Book of Heaven" he had obtained by chance in his early years also had a reaction to Lu Xun, so He was moved to take on a disciple.

Seeing Lu Su's solemn words, Lu Kang hesitated a little - in Lu Kang's view, although there are many children in the Lu family now, in troubled times, the one who can lead the way is Lu Xun, his nephew who was born in a nearby family.

What Lu Su said about accepting apprentices is obviously not the first teacher or the like, but to be a formal teacher. In the future, the teaching of Lu Xun will be completely handed over to Lu Su!
"This time I met Zijing on the way and came to surrender. Whether Mr. Lu and I can escape unscathed is all due to Zijing's advice... If it really works, Mr. Lu may wish to consider it." Bai Tu said at the side. .

"In that case, let's look at Lu Changshi's methods!" Lu Kang also understood that if he couldn't escape, it would be useless.

And if Lu Su's plan is really a good one, it also means that it must be stronger than his bones.

On the other hand, Bai Tu also said: "Mr. Lu, please take me to meet Shu Ji first."

When Bai Tu met Shu Ji, he realized that "military and civilian unity" is not just a description in this world, but also a special state!
Shu Ji wore a goose-yellow dress, with short hair and neat bangs. She was still peacefully spending time in Cheng Ji's house.

After Lu Kang introduced Bai Tu to Shu Ji, Bai Tu placed the official seal in the sensing area of ​​the screen to verify his identity...

Although Bai Tu didn't click on the page of the technology tree in front of Lu Kang, Lu Kang was amazed by such a long reading time, but he didn't ask.

When Bai Tu was sending a message to Chen Gong and Gan Ning who had arrived in Moling and Wuhu, he discovered Shu Ji's status page at this time, which had a series of BUFF effects...

The army and the people are united: the toughness of the defenders is greatly improved;

Immune to rebellion and incitement, military ration consumption is reduced;
Additional labor force can be recruited;

The labor force can be transformed into "civilian courage" to assist in defense.

City collapse (peng two sounds): The durability of the city is greatly improved, and siege equipment will be damaged in return;

The durability of city defense equipment has been greatly improved;

When the defensive equipment destroys the siege equipment, the damage will be greatly increased;

In other words, it is equivalent to the common people assisting the defenders, providing personnel and strength, and the military morale is firm.

No wonder Lu Kang was able to hold on for nearly two years under the alternating attacks of Sun Ce and Liu Xun before he was defeated.

However, this BUFF was not picked up, but Lu Kang's benevolent governance to the people in Lujiang County over the past few years, active eradication of bandits, reduction of the people's corvee, and punishment of local evil officials... which made the people in the city want it, so It was only when Yuan Shu sent troops to attack that the effect of "the army and the people are united" was triggered!

At the same time, because of the people's will, that is, the closeness with Cheng Ji is extremely high, there is also an additional reinforcement effect of defensive buildings.

Through Shu Ji, the Ji of Lujiang County, Bai Tu notified Gan Ning and Chen Gong about the strategy of "false and real". When Lu Bu attacked Liyang's port, he would raise fire as a signal, and Chen Gong on the other side would not Will watch the fire from the other side.

The day after Bai Tu arrived in Shucheng, news came that Sun Ce's troops were approaching, claiming to have [-] troops. Even... Judging from the reports from the scouts, it was probably close to [-]!
