Chapter 221
stomping on...

The sound of horseshoes sounded outside Changhe Town, and a group of cavalry came galloping.

"Stop, who is it?" A soldier guarding outside the city gate yelled loudly.

The leading man pulled the reins, and the cavalry behind him also stopped.

"The son of the prefect of Lujiang, Lu Ji, a partial general, was ordered by the prefect to find the chief of Chaohu Lake on important matters," Lu Ji, who was sitting on his horse, replied loudly.

The few soldiers guarding the city gate were startled, then they looked at each other and stepped aside.

"The mayor of Chaohu is in the mayor's mansion, please go there by yourself," the leader of the soldiers said respectfully.

Lu Ji slapped the horse's back, and roared in with all the cavalry behind him.

Dou Da's sweat emerged from his forehead, and the speed of the war horse accelerated a bit.

At the gate of the mayor's mansion, Lu Ji dismounted from his horse, and the cavalry hurriedly identified themselves to the soldiers guarding the gate.Then he led the horses to the sides and waited quietly.

Lu Ji walked up the steps into the mayor's mansion, and at the same time a soldier ran in quickly.

"Report to the chief of Chaohu Lake, but the general Lu Ji is asking for an audience." The soldier walked into the mansion first and shouted at the top of his voice.

Jia Nian, who had just returned not long ago, stood up quickly, and walked outside to greet her.

Lu Su followed closely behind.

"Why did you come here in such a hurry?" Jia Nian asked loudly seeing the sweat that had not yet been wiped off Lu Ji's forehead.Although his eyes were puzzled, he could vaguely feel the intention of coming.

Lu Ji stretched out his hand and wiped it: "The military situation is urgent, let me make a long story short"

"Please." Seeing Lu Ji's serious expression, Jia Nian turned around and pointed into the room.

Lu Ji was also rude, and walked inside.

After everyone was seated, Lu Ji calmed down a little: "To tell you the truth, I came here this time to ask for help."

"Ask for help? But the battle in Shouchun City is not good?" Jia Nian asked.

Lu Ji nodded and shook his head again: "Although the imperial court sent the military academy lieutenant Bao Hong to attack Ge Po, the battle was not going well. The governor of Yuzhou asked me to send troops from Yangzhou to help, so my father had no choice but to lead the Lujiang garrison to help."

"But he didn't want the rear to catch fire. Chen Ce, who was entrenched in the mountains, raised [-] troops to attack Wan County. Now Wan County is in danger, so he can only ask Chaohu Chief to send troops to help," Lu Ji said.

He paused for a while, and continued: "Father has something to say, if the head of Chaohu Lake can hold Wan County, I would like to requisition the head of Chaohu Lake as Wan County and county magistrate as a reward."

"Chen Ce stormed Wan County?" Jia Nian couldn't help but be startled, it was only half a month since he occupied Chaohu Lake.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ce's reaction was so fast, he went out of the mountain and went straight to Wan County.

"The counties are all empty now, please send troops to attack Chen Ce quickly, so that he can't plunder the Lujiang River," Lu Ji said loudly.

Originally, he galloped starry night along the way, thinking that Changhe Town could not compete with Chen Ce.But what he saw along the way surprised him.

Unexpectedly, in just half a month, there are more than [-] soldiers in Changhe Town.

No wonder Dad reacted the way he did when he heard about it.

Now it seems that it is not unreasonable.

It's only been a while, and there are already [-] soldiers. If it takes a while, won't the strength of this place surpass that of Lujiang.

But if Chief Chaohu and Chen Ce confront each other, their strength will be greatly damaged after the battle, and these hidden dangers will disappear by themselves.

"Brother, don't worry, Chen Ce and I have a deep blood feud. Even if there is no order from the uncle, I should send troops to attack Chen Ce as a younger brother." Jia Nian paused for a while.

Showing a troubled look: "It's just that Chaohu is initially settled, people's hearts are unstable, and Ruxu's saliva is on the side. Can you give the post of Wancheng county magistrate first? After Chaohu is stabilized, it will not be too late to send troops."

"Brother, this matter is not for my brother to decide, and it takes too long to come and go, if I wait for my father to reply, it will not be a good opportunity," Lu Ji explained.

Lu Su took the opportunity to intervene: "The matter is urgent, can the general let the lord attack Chen Ce in the name of Wan County and county magistrate?"

"Yes," Lu Ji gritted his teeth and said, "I will report this matter to my father in detail, and allow Jia Di to act in the name of Wan County and the county magistrate."

Jia Nian saluted: "Thank you so much."

"Brother also knows that my Jia family is quite popular in Wan County, and only the name of the county magistrate can better retake Wan County." Jia Nian made an apology.

Lu Ji smiled: "Brother naturally understands, Brother Jia doesn't need to worry too much, just go and conquer Chen Ce with peace of mind."

"Now that the counties are empty, I ask Jia Di to send troops quickly. If Chen Ce captures Shu County, the capital of the Huijun Commandery in Wan County, the situation will be out of control," Lu Ji urged.

Jia Nian nodded: "I'm going to prepare the army for war."

"In this way, there will be Lao Jiadi," Lu Ji said.

Showing a hint of departure: "Runan war is coming soon, brother can't stay for long, Jiadi bids farewell"

"Please..." Seeing Lu Ji's resolute expression, Jia Nian pointed out the front door.

Lu Ji smiled and strode away.

The voice came along with the wind: "As a brother, I will wait for Jiadi's good news in Runan."

"I will live up to the expectations of my elder brother and my uncle," Jia Nian said loudly.

Then the conversation changed: "Soldiers are expensive and can't be sent away quickly"

"Gao Ming, De Qiu" Jia Nian raised his voice.

Tang Gaoming and Sun De, who were guarding outside the door, begged violently: "In"

"Send Shixiong for me," Jia Nian ordered.

Tang Gaoming and Sun Deqiu replied respectfully: "No"

……

The footsteps gradually faded away, Lu Su and Jia Nian looked at each other and smiled.

"Is it a little too hasty for me to directly ask for the name of Wan County and the county magistrate?" Jia Nian asked.

Lu Su explained: "Although it will leave some bad impressions, it has to be like this."

"If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. If you send troops to Wan County in the name of the head of Chaohu Lake, even if the lord is a member of the Jia family, you will encounter resistance. And since this position has been promised, why not just land it? The time is too late. Long, or something will happen," Lu Su said.

Jia Nian frowned, and he heard something from these words: "An accident?"

"If the lord's strength has not been greatly damaged but has grown stronger after the extermination of Chen Ce, wouldn't the eunuch be afraid? At that time, Wan County was still the lord's?" Lu Su asked.

Jia Nian nodded slowly, as if he recognized Lu Su's words.

"If you send troops in the name of Wan County or the county magistrate, you can take advantage of the situation to occupy the county seat. At that time, the lord will be strong and occupy the name of the county magistrate, even if the eunuch wants to go back on his word, he will have no room for repentance," Lu Su said.

Pausing for a while, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "And there may be unexpected benefits."

"Is it good?" Jia Nian showed a playful smile.

Although Lu Kang is a high-ranking and powerful shepherd guarding one side, he is an official of the court after all, not a prince along the way.Besides, his identity is a child of a family.Although his strength made him feel like a thorn in his throat, he couldn't make a move, so he could only ask him to leave.

If his merits are sufficient and he expresses his intention to leave, how could he not send him off.
