Sure enough, as soon as Sun Ce's words got out, the entire Jiangdong gentry went into a frenzy. These gentry were not fools, and they could tell at a glance that this was Sun Ce who wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone and climbed onto the city wall! ? Even some generals are not sure to do things, let them pampered gentry masters do it! Isn't this courting death!
But none of these gentry spoke, they were all looking at each other, Wancheng has now entered a power vacuum period, whoever can capture Wancheng will get a big piece of the next loot sharing Cake, what these gentry pursue all their lives is to expand their own power and take advantage of the wind and rain in this troubled world or the new dynasty!
There is a saying that if a thing has 10% profit, then everyone will flock to it; if there is 20% theory, some people will catch a cold risk; if it is more than 50%, then fate It has become worthless!
And now to capture the entire Wancheng, there is a 50% profit here, it is completely a profit, take down Wancheng, not too much, as long as you can occupy a place in the Wancheng, I am afraid that there will be no territory!
The nearest is Wancheng, and the farther is the whole Lujiang. Lujiang County is a place rich in products. There are hundreds of thousands of fertile fields, as well as salt and iron. These are all money, and they are all things that can expand the family. ah.
How can we not make these people jealous, they look at each other, although Lujiang is big, it is not enough for a group of wolves to distribute it, do you really think that these gentry help Sun Ce for free? It is because he knew that Liu Mang had slaughtered the entire Anhui gentry. It should be said that there are not many gentry in the entire Lujiang River left!
And the rest, such as the Liu family and the Lu family, are also aristocratic families attached to Lu Bu. Once Lu Bu is driven away, Lujiang will be a piece of virgin land. This made these gentry ready to move.
Now there is a huge profit cake in front of you. How many soldiers and horses can there be left in Wancheng? One thousand or two thousand? In their hands. Every aristocratic family who does not have five thousand soldiers and horses only needs to climb the city wall! The credit for breaking Wancheng belongs to them.
Rewards for meritorious deeds can at least double their family size.
"We're not generals. I'm afraid I'll be killed if I wait on the city wall!" Someone spoke, and he said earnestly while watching the reactions of others.
Fear of life? Lu Su sneered in his heart, are you worried about their safety? You are intimidating those gentry leaders! The meaning is nothing more than that it is dangerous to go up the city wall, you people don't go, let me go alone! If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!
What are these life-threatening worries compared with the benefits obtained! not to mention. There are not many defenders left on Wancheng. I am afraid that the Wancheng will be broken as soon as I climb the city wall.
"Yes! Wancheng is dangerous. You see, General Chen Wu and General Dong Xi climbed up the city wall together yesterday. In the end, the Danyang soldiers lost 5,000 people. General Chen Wu died in battle inside the city wall. Wancheng is dangerous. Lu Bu's army is very powerful!" Another gentry chief who was earnestly said his words stepped forward.
"Uncles, you see that you are not too young. Let us young people do such dangerous things!" This is a person in charge of the Bao family, and the Bao family sent a young child. That is, the young master of the Bao family. His old father naturally doesn't want to come here anymore when he is old. Sending out his own son is also an act of testing his son.
"That's right! Uncles are old enough to take care of themselves! This kind of dangerous thing of siege will be given to us!" If the young master of the Bao family can still say this because he is young enough to be cute, then speak now It's purely shameless! The one who spoke was Zhang De, the person in charge of the Zhang family. He is not too young. Small, but definitely not bad for seniority.
Usually they are called brothers, not uncles!
"Hehe!" An elderly man spoke, he is old enough to give up this great achievement! Although what these two people said is correct, don't forget that they are not too old to walk, they are just getting old. "We are old, but Brother Ziyu, if you want to call me uncle If so, next time I meet, brother, don’t you want to give a meeting gift!” This old man and the Zhang family are family friends, and meeting gifts are always given by the elders to the younger ones.
The current patriarch of the Zhang family is Zhang Shao, one of Sun Cejun's counselors, who is very powerful. Asking Zhang Shao to ask his uncle to get a meeting gift is not a slap in the face of the Zhang family!
"You!" Zhang De blushed. He called out his uncle for credit. Who knew there was someone more shameless than him, so he just teased him. He could call all the uncles present, but he didn't dare to let his Brother shout!
Zhang Shao paid the most attention to etiquette. His elder brother knew it, so it would be strange if he didn't beat him to death.
Seeing Zhang De's retreat, the man continued to say, "You all said that we are getting old! We're getting old! We've lived enough, and we don't have a few more days to live. We're going to leave this kind of dangerous thing to us old bones ! You are still young and have many things to do! Let us pave the way for you!" These gentry are not easy to deal with.
The young people said the old ones, you are old, you can't go to the battlefield, you still have to live for the rest of your life! We young people take care of you, and we do dangerous things.
Immediately counterattacked after this, the old man followed the tone of the young and continued, yes, we are all old, and there are only a few days left to live. You are still young and not having a good time, so you can’t die here The city wall died young, so this dangerous thing is still for us old men! While we still have some strength.
The two sides ran against each other. Although there were no arrows and guns to see blood everywhere, they were always attacking their hearts, and they were fighting with each other. Lu Su never thought that these nobles could talk so much.
"Okay!" Lu Su yelled violently, and a good-tempered and honest man like him was also angry.
Hearing Lu Su's words, everyone fell silent. Lu Su is from the Lu family. If it's just a Lu family, they don't care at all. Everyone is from a family, so no one will pay attention to you. But now Lu Su is the military advisor of the entire army. Su is mad, you don’t need to do anything if they put you aside, you don’t have the slightest chance to participate in the entire battle for Lujiang River, if you don’t do anything, you won’t be rewarded, and you didn’t go back for such a mobilizing force. Not bad.
If Lu Su is more ruthless and tricks, just like the Zuo Bian family did yesterday, let you attack the city in the first wave, or fight in the field, it will be over, you have not seen that the soldiers and horses of the three families can't support it together Stay for a day, these private soldiers are all the gentry's own, and it hurts to die, because these are all money, you really have no temper at all, you were originally to help Sun Ce fight Lujiang, and they put you on the front line What's wrong! reasonable.
"You all want to attack Wancheng, don't you! You all want to make this contribution, don't you!" Lu Su directly clarified the matter to them, otherwise it will be difficult to solve it if we continue to talk about it for a few days.
"Yes!" Only some young men would speak, and those old foxes all stared at Lu Su with flickering faces.
"Master Lu, if you let our Wu family attack the city, our Wu family will definitely report back!" This is the person in charge of the Wu family. As I said earlier, this Wu family is the descendant of Sun Ce's mother, Wu Guotai, so let alone Lu Su, even Sun Ce would He didn't dare to directly sweep the Wu family's face, so the Wu family has been walking sideways.
But this time Lu Su didn't give face at all! I let your Wu family attack the city first, then what about the others! Lu Su didn't dare to offend the Wu family easily, but if the premise is to offend the entire Jiangdong family, it's a different matter, and even if you are given this opportunity, the Wu family can take it down! Attacking a large stronghold of the navy in Wancheng can escape and collapse. This attack on the city is much more difficult than seizing the stronghold. If you run away again, Lu Su will have to go to Sun Ce himself to confess the crime.
"Don't beg me!" Lu Su directly refused, not because he didn't give face, but because he himself didn't have the right to be assigned. "The lord has already said that the first person to climb the city wall will be regarded as the credit for breaking the city! I want this Credit, then please go and get it yourself!"
"Hmph!" The head of the Wu family snorted in displeasure after being swept away by Lu Su, who is Lu Su? Doesn't he know that his Wu family and Sun family are the masters of Lujiang and even the entire Jiangdong! What are you, Lu Su, a dog of their Wu family and Sun family, Lu Su and the Lu family! The head of the Wu family has already taken matters into his mind and is going to settle the score with the Lu family when he goes back!
"But Lu Junjun, although this Wancheng is big, we can't let our tens of thousands of troops attack the city together!"
Wancheng is already considered a minister, and it is impossible to spread out all the parts.
"One thousand soldiers per family is naturally enough!" Lu Su gave these gentry families an idea, a family of 1,000, there are twelve gentry families here, and 12,000 soldiers and horses, enough to take down Wancheng .
"A family of one thousand!" The eyes of some gentry are flickering. They have private soldiers. Although the overall combat effectiveness of the private soldiers is not very good, they all have elite private soldiers. These are the things that protect the lives of these gentry. Otherwise how could they come out.
Now is the time to pull out and claim credit for this rare occasion!
The principals of the gentry looked at each other, communicated with each other and were suspicious of each other.
"In this case, Lu Junjun, I will prepare first!" The sky is about to dawn, and the most intense siege battle will be at dawn. They need to prepare, because this time not only will they attack the enemy, but also these are hostile. friendly forces.
"Phew!" Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the chiefs of the gentry leave one by one. Dealing with these gentry is really more tiring than making suggestions, because these people are old foxes and young foxes. Killed while they huh! It's all about the uncle not only coaxing but also coaxing well.
It is dawn, and Lu Su is going to prepare. Counting the time, Lu Bujun's Bingzhou wolf cavalry will soon return to aid. Lu Su needs to closely watch the movement of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and the news of the scouts must be in place. . . )
