Guo Jia came over, saluted Lu Kang, asked Lu Kang to take a seat in the cabin, and asked about the Yangzhou Governor. He arranged a detailed work in Jiangbei, but he had not received the news yet, but Lu Kang said that Xu Gong had gone to welcome the Yangzhou Governor, and this information was very important.

Chen Wen's Yangzhou Governor's seal was in the hands of Sun Ce. The court appointed another Yangzhou Governor, which meant that the court refused to let Sun Ce control Yangzhou and sent other people. Who is this person, what kind of strength does he have? What do people in Wujun think? Lu Kang, an old man who has worked hard all his life in his career can provide a lot of experience.

Lu Kang took his seat, Lu Yi served tea, and then sat obediently. Lu Kang placed the teacup, looked at the swaying mist, and was silent for a while. When he raised his head again, his expression was solemn.

"Does the general think that the destiny is his own?"

Sun Ce met Lu Kang's gaze. He knew that Lu Kang came here specially not just to see Lu Yi. The Lu family was a first-class clan in Wu County. When Emperor Guangwu, Lu Hong was appointed as the Minister of State. The Lu family had a 2,000 stone family, and by Lu Kang was the fifth generation, 150 and 60 years. In contrast, before that, Gu family, which was ranked among the four surnames in Wu, only Gu Yong's great-grandfather was the prefect of Yingchuan, and his influence was not out of Wu County. The Zhang family and Zhu family were even more powerful local and had not officially entered the officialdom - most of the prominent family backgrounds were fabricated by later generations.

Lu Kang's opinions have a great influence on the Wujun family and cannot be taken lightly.

"What is the destiny that Mr. Lu talks about?"

Lu Kang's white eyebrows flashed, and he was a little displeased with Sun Ce's attitude. Sun Ce saw it but was not in a hurry. Lu Kang's reputation was not because of his high knowledge or good knowledge, but because of his righteousness, which was a righteous person. This was not his own characteristics, but because of the folk customs in the Wuhui region. Jiangdong in this era was not as weak as Jiangnan in later generations, with strong people, and most of the people who were officials were like this. Lu Kang and Zhu Yi were all this kind of people, and Shen You, who was competing with Yang Xiu, was also the same, and Yu Fan was about to meet. On the contrary, Gu Yong's Mianli Needle is more alternative.

"If Mr. Lu was talking about the destiny of the Three Ordinances and Five Virtues, I don't believe it."

Lu Kang breathed a sigh of relief and was puzzled. "What do you believe in?"

"Heaven sees oneself and the people see, and the heaven hears oneself and the people listen. I believe in such a destiny. If the people are in Han, I will be a powerful minister."

"What if the people's hearts are not in the Han Dynasty?"

"If the people's hearts are not in the Han Dynasty, I will sit in the east and guard Jiangdong, and keep peace in the area, and see who can replace the Han Dynasty. If no one can do better than me, and my destiny is with me, I dare not resign." Sun Ce looked at Lu Kang with a smile and said slowly: "Mr. Lu, are you satisfied with my answer?"

Lu Kang kept silent. After a moment, he said: "The emperor established the capital of Chang'an, and Yang Gong promoted reforms. Guanzhong has a new atmosphere. Do you think they cannot succeed or revive the great man?"

Sun Ce shook his head. "Mr. Lu is too proud of me. I can't predict the future. How do you know whether they can succeed? But I will see that they can succeed. I am happy to see that they can succeed. I will not be surprised if they can succeed. As for the reform, there are both successful and failed, which is normal."

"Then will you listen to the imperial edict?"

"If you are reasonable, you will not listen to your life if you are unreasonable."

"What is life-spending?"

Faced with Lu Kang's step by step questioning, Sun Ce frowned, drooped his eyelids, and said lightly: "Other prefectures and counties do not accept it, but the only thing that asks me to accept is life-threatening." Before Lu Kang asked again, Sun Ce raised his eyelids and looked directly at Lu Kang. "Mr. Lu, if the prefect of Wu County treats your Lu family differently and levies high taxes separately, will you accept it?"

Lu Kang was speechless and nodded for a while. "I understand what the general means, and I hope the general can be consistent in his words and deeds."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will be convinced."

Lu Kang looked at Sun Ce and was amused and laughed. He hoped that Sun Ce would be consistent in his words and deeds, but Sun Ce said that he would be convinced when he said that he would be true. In fact, there was a big difference in it and the center of gravity was completely different. But he was powerless and could only hope that the court had hope of revival, and Sun Ce still had a loyal and righteous heart.

Lu Kang changed the topic, explained what he knew, and made some analysis.

Xu Gong did not say who the governor of Yangzhou was, but the governor of Yangzhou was in Jiujiang. The new governor did not go to Jiujiang and came to Wujun first. Naturally, it was because Jiujiang had been occupied by Wu Jing and Danyang was occupied by Chen Dao, and the prefect of Wujun Xu Gong and Sun Ce had no direct contact. This means that the governor of Yangzhou was an enemy but not a friend, and he wanted to pull Xu Gong and Sun Ce as enemies. Although Xu Gong did not say who the new governor was, the governor came from the north and was a native of Qingxu. In other words, this person was probably sent by Yuan Shao like Chen Deng.

If these inferences are true, then Wujun will soon become a battlefield, and the powerful families of Wujun are facing the problem of taking sides. The governor of Yangzhou has an appointment from the court, but he was sent by Yuan Shao. He has a dual identity and his influence cannot be underestimated. I believe that many people will choose to support him. Lu Kang is not a fan of Yuan Shao, and he was driven out of Lujiang by Chen Deng. He is unwilling to support Yuan Shao. He hopes to support Sun Ce, but the premise is that Sun Ce cannot be as determined as Yuan Shao to change the new dynasty. Lu Kang is loyal to the court for his whole life, but he does not want to become a rebel minister in the end. He may not be able to control his descendants, but he himself is determined to be a Han minister.

Sun Ce understood Lu Kang's decision. If Lu Kang actively supports him in changing the dynasty, he will look down on Lu Kang.

"Does the powerful families of Wujun support Yuan Shao?"

"There are many, but not as many as Kuaiji." Lu Kang reminded: "Wujun is flat. Except for the islands in Taihu Lake for hiding, there are almost no places where a large number of people can hide. Kuaiji is full of mountains and many people occupying mountains and building docks, which is hard to conquer. The three Zhou brothers died, and their relatives and old friends have become your mortal enemies. The former Wujun prefect Sheng Xian was also a party member and probably wouldn't support you."

Sun Ce nodded. "Thank you for your reminder." He was mentally prepared for the opposition of the Kuaiji family. Those people were not Lu Kang, and they could not do what he wanted to turn war into jade, unless he surrendered to Yuan Shao. But he didn't take it seriously. Some self-righteous scholars were just awesome, and I could still be better than Xu Shao? I could even handle Runan. How could Kuaiji stop me?

It’s better to jump out, and it’s easier to kill. They all resist as softly as Xu Shao, but they are hard to start.

"Mr. Lu, besides Shen You, there are some talented men in Wujun? I am eager to seek talents now, and the more the better." Sun Ce said with a smile: "What is your eldest son Lu Ye doing at home? I heard that he has not yet become an official, so why should I come and help me."

Lu Kang stroked his beard and looked at Sun Ce, showing a scheming smile. "If Shen You can be valued under your command, I don't have to worry about it anymore, and others will naturally come one after another. If Shen You returned home today, no matter how good I said, no one will pay attention to you. General, you still have time to regret it now. It is difficult to distinguish between articles, but the competition will be a death. That Ma Chao is very resentful, and I am afraid that he will not know the importance of his actions."

Sun Ce smiled. Lu Kang said this very clearly. Shen You's martial arts skills are good, but it depends on who he compares with.

Guo Jia said: "General, let Zhongkang go to war, he is responsible."

Lu Kang looked at Sun Ce and said nothing. Sun Ce understood. "Okay, I'll take the fight myself."
