Chapter 602 Mrs Gan Returns to Her Mother's Home(2/2)
According to the original history, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, the Jiangdong Tigers who died at the hands of Huang Zu in a fight with Liu Biao, changed some of their minds after getting Cao Chun's advice.
Through some means, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu were manipulated, and after a false shot, Huang Zu was killed.
Then they quickly looted the prosperous Jiangxia County, crossed the river by boat, and arrived at Lujiang County in the east of Jiangdong.
At this time, the governor of Yangzhou was Liu Yao, and the prefect of Lujiang was Lu Kang.
Lu Kang was a member of the Lu family, a wealthy family in Jiangdong.
Through the previous fierce attacks and some persuasion from Cao Chun and others, Sun Jian had already realized his shortcomings.
That means you don't have your own territory.
He was unable to recruit troops or obtain supplies, so his purpose of returning to Jiangdong this time was very clear.
That is to capture Jiangdong, hold it in your own hands, and use it for yourself.
With such a large and prosperous land as a support, it will be much easier to do other things later, and you will have your own strength.
However, in the end, it still emphasizes the principle of courtesy first and then fighting.
First, he wrote letters to Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, and Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, saying that he wanted a place to stay.
He acted very peacefully.
Use this kind of letter to calm the minds of Liu Yao and Lu Kang.
Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, was also a veteran of the Han Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Ling, official positions were not small.
Moreover, both of them were members of the scholar class, and they were not the same as Sun Jian, a warrior with a background as a ranger.
In addition, Sun Jian had previously forced Wang Rui, the former governor of Jingzhou, to death, and beheaded Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang. His reputation for killing scholars without any scruples had already spread.
At this time, Sun Jian, who had been on an expedition in Yuzhou and Jingzhou, suddenly came to Yangzhou. Liu Yao, Lu Kang and others were surprised, but they also felt particularly resistant to Sun Jian.
I don't want this warrior to come in.
Lu Kang, after some thought, planned to stabilize Sun Jian, while secretly sending someone to contact the prefect Liu Yao, and on the other hand contacting Liu Biao in order to eliminate Sun Jian.
After all, Sun Jian offended Liu Biao too hard.
Liu Yao and Liu Biao were both clan members of the Han Dynasty, so it was quite possible for them to join forces with each other.
Of course, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, was not as skilled as Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou. His prestige in Yangzhou and his control over Yangzhou were far inferior to Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou.
Sun Jian was not a fool, especially after leading troops to jointly attack Dong Zhuo, he realized many things clearly.
Knowing the faces of many people, I can do things more crisply and neatly than before.
When he came to Yangzhou, he had already made up his mind to take all six counties of Yangzhou into his own hands.
I don’t want anyone else to worry about me anymore.
That's really unpleasant.
This is the sequelae of being controlled by Yuan Shu in various ways in the past two years.
He also knew that his reputation among scholars was not good, and it would be difficult for Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, and Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, to tolerate him.
There is no extravagant expectation that Lu Kang and Liu Yao will give him a place to stay.
Therefore, while the two letters were sent out to paralyze Lu Kang and Liu Yao, making them mistakenly think that they would act according to their rules, Sun Jian immediately launched corresponding military operations.
He moved directly towards Lujiang County.
Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, was immediately caught off guard!
Sun Jian was nicknamed Jiangdong Tiger because he was so powerful before in Jiangdong. Now that he has returned to Jiangdong, he is even more powerful!
He has extremely rich combat experience, and when it comes to fighting, he dares to fight hard.
The officers and soldiers under his command are all people who have experienced many battles and battles.
In comparison, Lu Kang's appearance here seems unsatisfactory.
Even though Lu Kang's men here had wiped out many thieves in Lujiang County, they had accumulated a lot of experience.
But compared to Sun Jian, he is still far behind.
In addition, Sun Jian launched an attack unexpectedly.
So as soon as he took action, Sun Jian achieved a great victory here. He marched down Xunyang, Wanxian, Juchao and other towns, and quickly headed towards the Lujiang County seat.
At this time, the people Lu Kang secretly sent out to join forces with Liu Biao had not even left Lujiang. They were intercepted by Sun Jian's men halfway.
The person and the letter were sent to Sun Jian.
After Sun Jian saw the letter, he couldn't help laughing.
He knew that Lu Kang would definitely not be able to accommodate him. Now it seems that what he thought before was indeed true.
Fortunately, I did it myself first!
Immediately, they mobilized their troops and horses, and they mobilized even faster, hoping to capture Lujiang County quickly.
In this way, it can be regarded as a temporary place to settle down.
Lu Kang was shocked. He quickly sent someone to scold Sun Jian, saying that Sun Jian had not kept his word, and comforted him with some words. At the same time, he quickly mobilized his troops and prepared to defend Lujiang City.
He also sent another person to ask for help from Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou...
However, Sun Jian was determined to capture Lujiang this time.
There is no one particularly capable of fighting here in Lujiang County.
Therefore, even if Lu Kang tried his best here, it would be of no avail. He could only watch Sun Jian's troops march across the Lujiang River.
Sun Jian also learned a lesson here, and instead of plundering the areas he conquered, he pacified them and alleviated the corvee.
Therefore, there was no big chaos at the back, and many ordinary people did not resist Sun Jian very much.
Under such circumstances, it took less than half a year for Sun Jian to defeat the two reinforcements and then use some strategies to capture Lujiang City.
Originally, he wanted to chop Lu Kang with a knife, which was in line with his style of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.
But he was persuaded not to do so.
The people who persuaded Sun Jian to stay were, in addition to Cao Chun and Sun Jian, who were engaged in Zhu Zhi, there were other people.
