Chapter 387
Chapter 387
Wu County, as the base camp of the Sun family, has become absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack as the city's defenses have been continuously strengthened over the years.

Since Sun Quan led the troops to Chaisang, the atmosphere in Wu County became tense.

Although the Zhang family where Zhang Zhao lived was considered a first-class family in Jiangdong, they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out in the face of Lu Xun's actions.

"Patriarch, that kid Lu Xun led troops to surround the mansion?" The old housekeeper who had followed Zhang Zhao for decades said angrily.

Just now, Lu Xun didn't even say hello, and led his troops to surround Zhang Zhao's mansion.

As for Zhang Zhaogui, a veteran of three generations, Lu Xun did not show any sympathy in doing so.

"Okay, it's rare for young people to get a chance, and Lu Xun's doing this is what Marquis Wu meant." Zhang Zhao said lightly.

Before leaving, Sun Quan handed over the power to Lu Xun, the purpose is self-evident.

It's nothing more than wanting to see, those families will jump out and make trouble.

And Lu Xun was the first to surround Zhang Zhao's mansion, firstly for protection, and secondly for fear that Zhang Zhao would jump out and grab credit.

"One day the emperor and one courtier, my lord is on guard against Zhou Yu, how could he not guard against the Zhang family?" Zhang Zhao smiled self-deprecatingly.

The matter between him and Sun Quan is nothing more than a main battle and a main peace.

Compared with Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao has already passed the years of hard work.

Although both of them are thinking about Jiangdong's future, they just stand at different positions!

In Sun Quan's view, surrender was the ruin of the Sun family's foundation.

From Zhang Zhao's point of view, Meng Chen's power is irreversible. In order to avoid the suffering of the common people, it is necessary to leave some property for the Sun family at the same time, and peace talks are necessary.

Otherwise, once the Xiliang army led by Meng Chen defeated the Jiangdong army, the Sun family could only become prisoners.

As for Sun Shangxiang, a female class, even if Meng Chen loves her, at most he can save the lives of the Sun family. As for the others, the counselors around Meng Chen are not stupid.

Otherwise, after the battle at Chibi, Zhou Yu vomited blood angrily, Zhuge Liang stayed behind closed doors all day, and Xun Yu said it was worse.

"Patriarch means that Marquis Wu wants to..." Halfway through the sentence, the old housekeeper made a downward cutting gesture with his right hand.

"Send someone to inquire, and pass on the word that no matter what Lu Xun does, the Zhang family will not participate." Zhang Zhao said seriously, but he didn't expect that it was this sentence that saved the entire Zhang family.

Of course, this is all for later, the old housekeeper who heard the words naturally left as promised.

After following Zhang Zhao for so many years, his Patriarch must understand his temperament.

Since Zhang Zhao felt that there was danger here, the entire Zhang family must make a clear cut!
The Zhang family did this, but it does not mean that other aristocratic families will choose this way. After all, the military power is in the hands of the Sun family, and the aristocratic families still have to weigh it.

Although Lu Xun's actions in Wu County caused dissatisfaction among some people, no one wanted to be the leader.

When the sun was setting, the old butler of Zhang's mansion hurriedly appeared before Zhang Zhao's eyes again.

"Why are you so flustered?" Zhang Zhao was a little displeased.

"Report to the Patriarch, Lu Xun sent someone to send an invitation to invite the Patriarch to the banquet." The old housekeeper calmed down and said slowly.

"There is no good banquet, but I can't refuse it." Zhang Zhao shook his head.

Half an hour later, when Zhang Zhao arrived at the gate of Lu Xun's mansion, the gate of Lu's mansion was crowded with people, and almost all the aristocratic families in Wu county were present.

"Chang Shi is here, and Xun has a long way to go to meet him." As soon as Zhang Zhao got out of the car, Lu Xun came up to meet him.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao frowned subconsciously, Lu Xun's move was really abnormal.

According to common sense, Lu Xun didn't have to meet him outside the residence today.

Although puzzled, Zhang Zhao still smiled and dealt with it a few words before entering the mansion.

"Zhang Zhao became suspicious?" Looking at Zhang Zhao's back, a middle-aged man beside Lu Xun asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it, as long as he is willing to come, it means that he hasn't shown his feet yet." Lu Xun replied in a low voice, and then asked: "Have you got in touch with General Gan?"

"We got in touch, and we will arrive in Wu County within half an hour!" The middle-aged man continued.

"I'll leave it to you on the other side of the city gate, and someone will deal with the affairs in the mansion." Lu Xun said in a low voice, then changed his smile and walked quickly towards the person who had just arrived.

The middle-aged man bowed to salute, and then his figure gradually receded. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice the existence of this person at all.

Five miles east of Wu County, as the sky was getting darker, Gan Ning ordered the army to light the torches.

The news just came from Anbu that Lu Xun held a banquet in the mansion today, and he has invited all the civil, military and aristocratic families in the city.

The defense of the east gate was basically taken over by Anbu. The most important thing now is that the army needs to enter Wu County as quickly as possible.

"Send the order, speed up, don't rush into the city before the Jiangdong army reacts." Gan Ning roared, and then accelerated his horse.

Lu Xun has done everything he can, and now it's up to Gan Ning and the Xiliang Navy he leads.

At the east gate of Wu County, today's defense change is over, but the captain who has just been changed is thoughtful.

Although there was nothing wrong with the soldiers in front of them, half of this group of people were unfamiliar faces.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" the captain asked.

The soldier who was questioned said with a smile: "Just transferred from General Lu."

Hearing this, the school captain looked around. Since Lu Xun came to power, even the defense of the city gate had to be intervened, so he ignored it and headed down the city.

Just at this time, a muffled thunder sounded, and the captain subconsciously looked up at the sky, then shook his head with a frown.

But just after walking a few steps, the muffled thunder became louder and louder. Having been on the battlefield, he suddenly understood something, turned around and ran to the top of the city, and what caught his eyes was the banner of Xiliang.

"Enemy...strike..." The lieutenant had just opened his mouth when he felt a pain in his chest.

At this moment, he finally understood, but it's a pity that the captain never had a chance to speak out to warn him!
"Boom!" With the sound of horseshoes, the Anbu members who had been prepared for a long time quickly opened the east gate of Wu County.

When Gan Ning was the first to rush into the east gate, immediately someone from the Anbu came forward and reported: "General Gan, this subordinate is here to lead the way."

Gan Ning looked at the person who came, and then bowed back, although Anbu claimed to be his subordinate, Gan Ning did not dare to take it too seriously.

Anbu's contribution to being able to enter Wu County smoothly today is indisputable.

In Lu Xun's mansion, at this moment, it has already been a feast of wine, three rounds of food, and five tastes. No matter what the intentions of this group of people are, so far they have not torn their faces.

Wenshi, a middle-aged man walked up to Lu Xun and whispered something in Lu Xun's ear, before Lu Xun suddenly stood up and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, just in time!"
