Chapter 35 Candidates for the position of Lujiang Prefect

Lu Yi followed Yan Xiang into the government office.

There are many people in the hall at this moment.

In the main seat of the hall, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes was holding his chin with his left hand, looking melancholy.

Below him, on the left and right sides, two rows of people were kneeling.

Sun Ce was kneeling and sitting at the end of the room on the left.

When Lu Yi came in, his face was filled with high spirits.

The reason why he was so happy was for no other reason.

It was because Yuan Shu summoned him here today to discuss the candidate for Lujiang Prefect!
When he attacked Lujiang before, Yuan Shu promised him that as long as he captured Lujiang, the position of Lujiang governor would be his.

Sun Ce couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly when he thought about being the governor of Lujiang, running Lujiang with Zhou Yu, growing rapidly, and inheriting his father's legacy in the future.

He saw the light!

Yan Xiang brought Lu Yi in, saluted the middle-aged man in charge and said, "Ming Gong, please bring me here, Chief of the Nest."

The middle-aged man is none other than Yuan Shu, the eldest son of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shu waved his hand.

Yan Xiang took a few steps back, moved to the fifth position in the right row, and knelt down.

Lu Yi saluted Yuan Shu and said, "Lu Yi, the chief of the nest, has met Mr. Yuan!"

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Yi and said jokingly: "Chief Ju Chao, why are you here this time?"

Lu Yi raised his head and said seriously: "I'm here for two things this time."

"The first is Lu Kang's head. I want to take him back to Wu County for burial."

"The second is to take away the imprisoned members of the Lu family."

A gloomy look appeared on Yuan Shu's face and he said, "You want to die? You don't know why Lu Kang died? You actually dare to come here for his head!"

Lu Yi said: "When a person dies, the light goes out. No matter how much hatred you have, you should let it go."

"What's more, Lu Kang offended Duke Yuan not for his own selfish reasons, but because he was fulfilling his obligations as a Han official."

"Even if he dies, Lu Kang will still be the governor of Lujiang and an important minister of the imperial court."

"Mr. Yuan is still a minister of the Han Dynasty."

"They are all ministers who died for the imperial court. They should enjoy the treatment of scholar-bureaucrats. Even if the emperor comes, this is the same. Could it be that Duke Yuan's power has exceeded that of the emperor?"

Yuan Shu was speechless.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang hurriedly said: "Ming Gong, what Chief Ju Chao said makes sense. Lu Kang is dead, but he was an important minister of the Han Dynasty after all. His body should be taken away by his descendants and buried with honor."

Yuan Shu nodded and said to the outside of the hall: "Come, come and get Lu Kang's head!"

There was an answer outside the door.

Yuan Shu then looked at Lu Yi and said with a displeased look on his face: "I will let you take Lu Kang's head away. Lu family members, why should I let you take it away? What benefits can you give me?"

Lu Yi said: "I came back from Xuzhou, and I have a thousand Lujiang soldiers under my command. They are all young and powerful men, and they have experienced war. They are not comparable to ordinary soldiers."

Yuan Shu said: "Not enough."

Lu Yi took a deep breath, took out a box from his sleeve, opened it, and revealed the seal of the Chief Juchao inside. "Mr. Yuan, this is the seal of the Chief Juchao. You haven't retrieved it yet. That means that at this moment, I Still the leader of the nest.”

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "So?"

Lu Yi said: "Lujiang is now subordinate to Mr. Yuan?"

Yuan Shu said: "Yes."

Lu Yi said: "I am still the chief of Juchao, and Lujiang is under the rule of Gong Yuan, so I am an official under Gong Yuan's rule, and Gong Yuan is my lord. What benefits do I need from my lord to protect his people?" "

"Could it be that, in Mr. Yuan's opinion, all the officials under your rule need to offer you benefits in order to impress you and protect their own people?"

Yuan Shu: "Of course not. I govern the officials, so naturally -"

Lu Yi met Yuan Shu's gaze and said no more.

Yuan Shu was halfway through speaking, and he patted the table in front of him with a smile and said, "You are such a good boy! Believe it or not, if I get angry right now, I can let people chop you into mincemeat!"

Lu Yi said: "I don't believe it. Yuan Gong is not an easy-going person, how could he become a tyrannical person just because I am a small nest leader? How is that different from Cao Cao?"

"Who is Cao Cao? The eunuch."

"Who is Mr. Yuan? After the fourth generation and the third prince, he is extremely valuable."

"I can't find any reason why Mr. Yuan has lowered his status and is willing to be associated with Cao Cao."

The whole hall instantly started talking.

Sun Ce looked at Lu Yi, also a little surprised.

He had met this nest leader before.

However, at that time, he didn't care.

Being so young and seemingly lacking in military power, he thought he was just an ordinary person who only got the position of nest leader because of his relationship with the prefect Lu Kang.

Therefore, he didn't pay attention at all, but he noticed the person who was with him that day, the self-proclaimed "Ou A unknown young general".

But I didn't expect that this man was quite sharp-tongued.

He was able to make Yuan Shu speechless.

Yan Xiang stood up again and said to Yuan Shu: "Ming Gong, what Chief Ju Chao said makes sense. Moreover, now that Lu Kang is dead, the remaining members of the Lu family are not guilty enough to die, so they can be brought back by Chief Ju Chao. "

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Yi depressedly and said, "That's right!" Lu Yi bowed to Yuan Shu and thanked him.

Yuan Shu pointed to the last position and said next to Sun Ce: "Since you are the chief of Ju Chao, the officials under my rule will allow you to participate in government affairs in this hall today."

Lu Yi retreated to Sun Ce's side.

Outside the hall, two servants carried the case to Lu Yi's side.

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Yi kneeling at the door, still feeling a little unhappy.

He was already having a bad day.

During this period, Sun Ce had been urging him to fulfill his promise, openly and secretly, and appointed him as the governor of Lujiang.

He is worried!
Although he did make a promise to Sun Ce before he attacked Lujiang.

But that's because he didn't believe that Sun Ce could take Lujiang.

After all, Sun Ce is still so young!
Who knows, he really did it!

Now, is it really necessary to appoint Sun Ce as the governor of Lujiang?
There are two sons and three sons of the Zhou family in Lujiang!
This week, the reputation of the Zhou family in Yangzhou even surpassed that of the Yuan family.

What if the Zhou family supports Sun Ce, who is so young but so good at fighting? How dare you imagine the consequences?

Therefore, he found several other powerful generals today, including Zhang Xun, Liu Xun and others.

He wanted these people to serve as governors of Lujiang, thus squeezing Sun Ce away.

What he didn't expect was that facing a junior like Sun Ce, his generals would become intimidated!

That's right, cowardly!

Are we really going to hand over the position of Lujiang Governor to Sun Ce today?

Just when he was melancholy, suddenly, a touch of pride appeared on his face.

Isn’t the person in front of me quite capable of fighting?

Moreover, he is a member of the Lu family and the Lu Kang clan.

Sun Ce beheaded Lu Kang again.

If you ask him to stop it, he will definitely agree!

In this case, if he appointed the position of Lujiang Prefect to someone else, Sun Ce would not resent him but Lu Yi!

If Sun Ce could kill this little nest leader in a rage, then he would have a chance to punish Sun Ce.

Sun Ce couldn't even blame himself!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu smiled and said to Lu Yi: "Chief Juchao, since you are here, I have a question here and I want to test you."

Everyone looked at Lu Yi.

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Lu Kang is dead, and the position of Lujiang Prefect is still hanging. Now, I want to appoint Bo Fu as Lujiang Prefect. What do you think?"

Sun Ce's face instantly darkened.

ask him?

I just killed Lu Kang, how could he agree?

Lu Yi faced the mixed expressions of everyone, glanced at Sun Ce, and said calmly: "I don't think anyone other than Sun Bofu can do the job. There are three reasons."

"One, Bo Fu captured Lujiang."

"Second, Bo Fu is good at fighting and extremely brave. When the overlord is alive, I would like to call him the little overlord. Bandits are rampant in the Lujiang area. With him in charge, Lujiang will definitely be at peace."

"Third, the Zhou family is a famous family of the second and third sons. Who doesn't know about it in Yangzhou? Who doesn't know? The young master Zhou Yu of the Zhou family and Mr. Sun Bofu are close friends than brothers."

"If it were someone else who angered the Zhou family, who would bear the consequences?"

"Only when Sun Bofu passes by, will the Zhou family be satisfied and Lujiang will be peaceful."

Sun Ce looked at Lu Yi blankly.

What kind of medicine is sold in Juchaochang Gourd?

He actually supported himself as the governor of Lujiang!

Others also looked at Lu Yi in disbelief.

Sun Ce killed Lu Kang, the head of the Lu family!

You don't hate him, but you still support him as the governor of Lujiang?
Incomprehensible!

Yuan Shu was also dumbfounded.

This Ju Chao leader actually put down his hatred and now supports Sun Ce?
What can I say to myself?
Could it be that Sun Ce really should be the governor of Lujiang?

Yan Xiang's face was filled with coldness.

This rhetoric was spoken by the Chief of the Nest before at the door!

And he also said that Sun Ce would dominate the world just like Yuan Shu!
He also said that his relationship with the Zhou family was extraordinary.

If Yuan Shu really appoints Sun Ce as the governor of Lujiang, wouldn't it mean that he really agrees with what he said: Sun Ce will leave Yuan Shu, become the hidden dragon who encounters difficulties, and will become Yuan Shu's enemy in the future to dominate?
Absolutely not!

We absolutely cannot sit back and watch this happen!
Thinking of this, Yan Xiang said sternly: "No!"

Everyone looked at Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang pointed at Sun Ce and said, "How old is Sun Bofu? How many wars have he experienced? Just because he won once, why should he be appointed as the governor of Lujiang?"

Pointing to Zhang Xun, Liu Xun and other generals, Yan Xiang sarcastically said: "What about them? Which one of them has not followed Yuan Gong through life and death? How many battles have they won? Who among them has held such important positions as prefect? ​​Fair?"
