Lu Xiang's name is Chen Yi, he is not someone else, but Chen Fan's son and Mrs. Xu Qian's brother.

Sun Ce decided to give up Lu State and could not help but give Chen Yi a message. Of course, he could ignore Chen Yi and face Yuan Tan's attack alone, waiting for him to be defeated or abandon his official position and flee, but he did not intend to do so. He asked Yuan Quan to inform Chen and asked her to tell Chen Yi that if you want to guard, you should guard, if you don't want to guard, you can come back, either as an official or live in a leisurely manner.

Yuan Quan knew it in his mind that Sun Ce gave her the opportunity to show kindness and win people's hearts. He immediately cleaned up and went to Chen's house to visit him.

Just after seeing Xu Shao away, Xu Qian and his wife were in panic, afraid that Sun Ce would use this as an excuse to further trouble the Xu family. Seeing Yuan Quan’s return visit, they didn’t know what Yuan Quan was intended. After discussing it, Xu Qian avoided it and Chen came forward to receive it. The handle was in the hands of others, and Chen did not dare to neglect it and went out to greet him.

Yuan Quan came to the hall and took a seat with Chen's host. Looking at Chen's rich and charming family, he chuckled softly: "It is justified that the wife dressed up like this. If the housewife of the Xu family could not be in a good fortune, I am afraid that my uncle would be accused of being a militant and levy, causing the people of Yuzhou to live in poverty."

Chen was very embarrassed. Last time she went to see Mrs. Wu, she wore a cloth skirt, but she didn't expect that she would tease her. She hurriedly said, "Mrs. General Sun will be defeated by his father and son, and will win the battle. He will use troops like a god. I, Yuzhou, entrusted him with the blessings of his father and son, and the people's livelihood is stable. Who dares to talk nonsense?"

"Speaking or not talking actually has nothing to do with the truth. The Master once said that Yao and Shun may not be so good, and Jie and Zhou may not be so evil. If you are burdened by fame and fortune and are often blamed, then you will not be able to do anything. It is better to do things with your own conscience and go straight."

Chen smiled politely, but did not accept Yuan Quan's words.

Yuan Quan saw it and did not point it out. He told him that Sun Ce might attack Lu. He heard that Chen was in a blind date with his brother's personal interests, but she was not nervous. Yuan Tan was Yuan Shao's eldest son, the Chen family was a party member, and Chen Fan was one of the three lords back then, and he was very close to Li Ying. Even if Yuan Tan attacked Lu, it would not be detrimental to Chen Yi, and he might be reused.

"Thank you, my wife, for reporting the news. I am just appointing an official and doing my best. My father did not avoid axes and saws back then, so how dare my brother be humiliated?"

Yuan Quan praised: "Ling Zun was a famous minister back then and led his disciples to fight with the eunuch. If it weren't for his bad luck, it might have become a big deal when he met the border army back to Beijing. Today, the Han Dynasty would be a different person. Brother Ling inherited his family tradition and wanted to fight against Yuan Tan to defend the people. If he could defend the country of Lu, it would be a good thing. In this way, the man was a little worried."

When Chen heard this, his cheeks twitched for a moment. Yuan Quan compared Yuan Tan to a eunuch. If Chen Yi surrendered to Yuan Tan, would Sun Ce deal with Chen Yi as a law and uproot the Chen family? According to the law, the county and state were attacked by rebellion, and there were few reinforcements within three months. Those who surrendered did not endanger their family. If they surrendered within three months, they would be treated as a matter of being subject to the enemy and would affect their family.

The Sun family was looking for excuses to attack the Runan family, but wasn't this hitting him in the knife?

Can Chen Yi hold on for three months? This is a bit overestimated by Chen Yi. He has the courage, but does he have the ability? He really let him fight against Yuan Tan, but he either surrenders or dies. He is lucky to escape back alive. Just like Chen Fan and the eunuch at the time, the old man in his seventies dared to enter the palace with more than a dozen scholars. To put it nicely, he was loyal and heroic, and to put it badly, he was sent to death. Yuan Quan gave her face, but he didn't say that, but the reminder was very obvious.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to owe Sun Ce a favor.

"My wife is so serious. My brother is a scholar after all, and he has the ambition to serve the country, but he has no power to turn the world back. It is no problem for him to educate the people, but he is a little forced to fight in the last battle. General Sun is so grateful to my Chen family. I will compile the book and convey General Sun's good intentions to him. When he returns to Pingyu, he will thank General Sun again."

Yuan Quan smiled. "Madam, don't worry, let me have the responsibility of being a ruling master. If a ruling husband has the responsibility of being a ruling husband, everyone will do their own duties, so there is no need to thank you. Otherwise, the people of Runan will all thank you, and the ruling husband will not be able to do anything. Are you right?"

Chen was very embarrassed.

——

Sun Ce called Mi Fang and asked him to take a handwritten letter to the East China Sea to meet his brother Mi Zhu. He wanted to give Tao Qian this hot potato in Lu to Tao Qian, so he naturally didn't mind letting Mi Zhu benefit too. To implement a salt monopoly in Runan, he also needed Mi Zhu's cooperation. They often kept in touch, but they couldn't make Tao Qian suspicious. This was a very good opportunity.

In order to allow Mi Fang to return to his hometown, Sun Ce specially stated that Mi Fang was the Cavalry Commander. The Cavalry Commander was a central official. For Mi Fang, this was naturally an honorary position. In addition to being written on tombstones in the future, it had no practical significance, but it could express Sun Ce's trust in Mi Fang. In addition, he also asked Mi Fang to bring a hundred new swords back. Mi Family has a large number of divisions, and these new swords can equip the divisions and enhance the strength of Mi Family.

Mi Fang was satisfied and set off immediately.

After settled down in Lu, Sun Ce called Xu Kun again. In the last battle of Junyi, Xu Kun made contributions to attacking Xiao Huang with Guo Ting, and was promoted to lieutenant, leading a thousand people. Sun Ce added 1,000 troops to him and asked him to support Lu Fan, which was a chance to show his performance.

Xu Kun has proved his ability, so Sun Ce naturally needs to focus on training. The thousand people assigned to Xu Kun are not ordinary soldiers, but the Yellow Turban elites who were originally from Gongdu. Gongdu is very loyal, but his command ability is limited. These Yellow Turban elites cannot play a role under his command. Sun Ce plans to gradually replace Gongdu and slowly turn Gongdu into a local official, become a prefect, or arrange for him to go to farm and leave the main force of the field.

Xu Kun was very excited. After communicating with Sun Ce on the Liang State strategy, he took his people to set off and rushed to Suiyang.

Sun Ce issued another order to Zhu Zhi, who was stationed in Xiao County, handing over the command of Qiaorui's troops in the Dangshan military farming, and he was responsible for the war in Pei State. With these military farming soldiers and the grain harvested from military farming, Zhu Zhi's troops were good and had enough food. Not to mention Zhu Ling, even if Yuan Tan came in person, he could hold on for a while.

In the first half of the year, Sun Ce spent a lot of energy to deploy the northern defense line, and now it is time to test this defense line. Although he is confident in these generals, and believes that the deployment of troops and food preparations are sufficient, the battlefield changes rapidly, and he still dare not take it lightly, especially when the war in Jingzhou is on the string. Only when the northern defense line is stable can he move south with confidence. If Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan and others cannot stop Yuan Tan, then he cannot leave Runan. He must hold the rear for his father Sun and let him fight Chen Deng with peace of mind.

When he saw Guo Jia dealing with information from all directions, Sun Ce just felt that he was busy, but he had no personal experience. Now that Guo Jia is not here, he is responsible for it himself, he knows that this job is really not something that ordinary people can do. Not only does he feel a headache, but even Zhang Hong is a little overwhelmed. He has a specialty in his profession, which is indeed not something he is good at. Fortunately, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and others are familiar with the business, and Xu Huang also shared a lot of things, so Sun Ce did not mess up.
