Chapter 275: Lu Jia suspects Xingba and Liu Xun is acutely ill
Chapter 275 Lu Jia suspected that Xingba Liu Xun was seriously ill
Zheng Bao, who was well-informed in Lujiang, certainly knew that Shu County, which was not far away, was captured by Sun Ce, and knew that the Lu family had surrendered to Sun Ce.
Zheng Bao took in without hesitation about the "acquaintance" Lu Jia who had dealt with several times.
Although he didn't know why Lu Jia didn't surrender with his family, as long as it was good for this person and useful to Chao County's great cause, no matter what the reason was.
Zheng Bao looked at Lu Jia who was a little thin, and thought maliciously: "Maybe the people from his Sun family snatched his wife!"
Hearing Lu Jia's statement, Sun Ce was just a young child. Zheng Bao, who had been a lake bandit for a lifetime, suddenly expanded his ambition. The six hundred miles of Chaohu Lake was too small to hold his mind.
Zheng Bao was already yearning for a larger territory in his heart, that is, the entire Lujiang. Therefore, when Lu Jia suggested that Zheng Bao be the prefect to compete with Sun Ce, he agreed without hesitation.
He immediately sent his subordinates to set up government offices, official robes, prefect seals, etc. Under Lu Jia's guidance, he became the self-proclaimed prefect of Chaohu as if he were to be.
Looking at the furious Zheng Bao, Lu Jia smiled sinisterly: "Premier Zheng, this time you just underestimated the enemy. It's not a big deal to say that you are defeated by a defeat.
My subordinates didn’t want to doubt Gan Ning, but as soon as he joined our army, Sun Ce’s son suddenly attacked. Don’t you think it’s a bit strange?”
The heroic Zheng Bao said disdainfully: "Even if you read too much, you will think of something bad if you have done well. I think that Jinfan Hero, who is Xingba, has been the dominant hero of the river for several years, and I have heard of it.
This time, because the Xiangyang navy was crazy about encircling the brothers on the water, his Jinfan Hero retreated to our Jianghuai after heavy losses. In addition, he was unfamiliar with the place, and wanted to join our army! What else can I doubt! Lu Jia, you are just worrying about it!"
After saying that, he satirized Lu Jia, a talented man, and nodded proudly, as if nodding could increase his persuasion.
"I think he was also burdened by Sun Ce's sneak attack on Xiangyang this time. How could he go and help Sun Bofu, who caused him a big trouble? You must be thinking too much!"
Lu Jia still maintained the smile he had just now: "What the prefect said makes sense! In fact, I am not worried that Gan Ning would help the little devil of the Sun family, so that is indeed impossible. What I am worried about is that he will make too much contribution one day and will have the ambition to dominate Chaohu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jia shut up, smiled mysteriously, and looked at Zheng Bao. He believed that this generous bandit leader would understand what he meant. If he didn't understand this, he would have been a gangster for more than ten years in vain.
Sure enough, Zheng Bao thought for a while, finally nodded heavily and whispered: "This Xingba has long been known as chivalrous among our brothers who are seeking life on the water. He has good martial arts and excellent archery skills. Even I admire him very much.
In the past half a month since he came to the Water Village, he was very supportive of his brothers. If you don’t say anything, the prefect did not notice it. Now that he thinks about it carefully, the eight hundred heroes under his command seem to be deliberately making friends with the brothers in the Water Village! This is a bit bad!"
Seeing that Zheng Bao understood what he meant, Lu Jia contemptuously sneered the bandit leader in his heart.
"These lake bandits and river thieves are all rough people and think they are chivalrous people! How can you go through such intrigues? I think Gan Ning was the boss on the river and a bandit-level figure who has been dominating the river for many years.
I think he is also a person who is used to being the boss! Now that he is forced to helplessly, he suddenly comes to this lake to be someone else's subordinate, how could he be willing to do it? He is just a new arrival and may be fine, but he will wait for him to gain a firm foothold.
There will definitely be a battle between these two people. This is a real battle between two dragons!
But no matter who wins, as long as you can help me get the right kid Sun Ce. It would be nice to change to a stronger commander, as long as you can add more trouble to that kid Sun Ce."
But he comforted Zheng Bao: "Sir, Gan Ning has just arrived, so there is no need to worry that he will rebel immediately. His foundation is still shallow, so there should be no major moves at the moment that threatens your status.
The prefect only needs to use him with confidence, but he cannot make great contributions, so that his brothers will be convinced by him!
Hearing Lu Jia's suggestion, Zheng Bao nodded in conscience and solemnly: "Zheng Bao wrote down what the military advisor said, but that bastard Liu Xun made me angry when I remembered it. I really want to chop him up with one knife!
But if he really wants to kill him, his five thousand men will be in trouble again! It’s really a headache!”
Lu Jia smiled again: "Don't be impatient. As for Liu Xun, it's not a big problem at all! I think the water in Chaohu is heavy and damp, and it's quite miasma. As long as he dies of illness suddenly, will his troops have any questions?"
When Zheng Bao heard his plan, he was shocked and said, "You military advisor, you really have an idea, and a smile. I found that the happier you smile, the more vicious the plan will be. How do you say hello to you!
You scribes who have read too much, they all say it nicely, but there is really no good thing in their stomachs!"
Lu Jia said with a respectful look: "My lord is too much! My subordinates just want to plan for the master, and dare not do their best!"
The two traitors who completed the plan looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
After laughing with a slight smile, Lu Jia said again: "It's my lord, now the county of Chaohu is established. We should select talented and good generals to increase our strength so that we can have the capital to resist Sun Ce."
Zheng Bao pondered slightly and immediately thought of a person: "When it comes to talent, there is a great scholar named Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang on the ground of Chaohu Lake, who is quite talented. I heard that he has the talent of the Affiliate, but I don't know if it's true!
He must be a Chengde native, but the land of his Liu family is in our Chao County. He himself lives in the farm outside the city for many years.
This official asked someone to invite him last time, but he refused. It seems that if you want to accomplish great things, this scholar must not be missing! This time, I will ask someone to come to him again. If he doesn't come again, I will send someone to confiscate his house and tie him to Chao County."
After hearing the domineering words of the bandit leader, Lu Jia sighed helplessly: "Oh! Such ordinary people who have never read the books of sages can only be bandits for the rest of their lives. Since they have talent and reputation, they must have pride. How can they surrender easily?
If you tie someone up, how could he really convince you? Even if you tie someone up, you will probably be bad for you in the end. How can you help you with all your heart like me?"
