Lu Kang just misunderstood Sun Ce because of his impatience. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake at this moment. He patiently asked about the conflict between Sun Ce and Xu Chun.

Shen You were very clear about this matter. He made a statement on Sun Ce, and emphasized two points in particular: First, as the first family in Yangxian, Xu Chun not only relied on his family to occupy a large amount of fertile land, but also communicated with bandits. He was no longer an ordinary powerful family, he was a traitor in the people; secondly, Xu Chun wanted to be unfavorable to Sun Ce just because Sun Ce neglected him. If such a person was not born with vicious hearts, he would be used to being rampant in the countryside. Think about it, Sun Ce was the prefect of Kuaiji and had thousands of soldiers in his hands, but Xu Chun didn't take it seriously. If ordinary people provoked him, would they have a good end?

If all evil is done, such people must be eliminated. Xu Gong has been the commander of Wu County for several years and the prefect of Wu County for several years. Will he not know what kind of virtue Xu Chun is? The county magistrate Wang Zhen, who he sent, conspired with Xu Chun, how could he know that he did not instruct him? Sun Ce came this time to raise an army to ask for punishment, so there was no possibility of returning Xu Chun.

After listening to Shen You's explanation, Lu Kang couldn't say anything. It's true that he was a noble family, but he was not satisfied with the Xu family's behavior. He just didn't know why Sun Ce had confiscated the Xu family before coming. Now that he knew the reason, he naturally didn't want to have any relationship with Xu Chun. Instead, he felt that Xu Gong was suspected of using him and was very annoyed.

"There are only a few thousand generals. Can you take Gusu?"

Sun Ce bowed and bowed. "Thank you for your concern, and you are just asking for help from Mr. Lu."

Lu Kang thought for a moment. "General, I have a saying, I hope the general can tell you honestly."

"Please speak frankly by Mr. Lu."

"You are not just regulating Xu Chun because he is not good for you. Do you want to promote what you did in Runan in Wuhui?"

Lu Kang looked at Sun Ce without blinking. He didn't take Xu Chun's life and death seriously, but if Sun Ce wanted to attack the Wujun family, the Lu family would be unable to stay out of it. The reason why he agreed to Xu Gong's request to see Sun Ce was his real purpose.

"Mr. Lu, I want to solve the problem of land annexation and let the landless refugees settle down again, isn't it supposed to?"

Lu Kang frowned, stroked his beard, and didn't speak for a long time. He had been an official for many years, so how could he not know the harm of land annexation? "General, I support your ideas very much, but this involves too much."

"I know, so I don't have to hurry. I will move forward step by step, and I can take a smaller step and take a more cautious step, but I will never retreat. Duke Lu, you can go to Nanjun and Runan to see. There are public opinions on right and wrong, merit and demerit. Even Xu Chun, if he was not so bold and reckless, I would not deal with him like this. I encountered so many troubles in Runan. If I wanted to kill someone, could the Pingyu Xu family stay until now?"

Sun Ce spoke very politely, even humble, but Lu Kang was shocked in his ears. He stared at Sun Ce for a while and sighed. "The general is so murderous."

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing. He had already said the truth that he had to put Lu Kang some pressure. The situation was changing, and there were always some people who were eliminated. If Lu Kang chose to fight, he would be nothing to be polite. The words could be said better, but the knife must be tightly clenched.

"Where is Wei Zhoulin? Was Xu Gong detained?"

"He's in the city, very safe."

Sun Ce remained silent. Wei Teng did not come back to report his life, so he naturally turned a frown with Xu Gong, but Xu Gong was unable to kill Wei Teng, which surprised him. From this, it can be seen that the Wujun family is still a little confident and does not take Xu Gong seriously. Since that is the case, it depends on how Lu Kang and others choose, whether to help him drive Xu Gong away, or to see success or failure, or even help Xu Gong deal with him, which will determine the fate of their respective families.

Lu Kang understood Sun Ce's meaning, bowed his hand and said goodbye.

——

Lu Kang replied to Xu Gong, Xu Chun is the first to be evil, and he deserves the crime. Don’t worry about that. Just think about how to explain to Sun Ce. Your county magistrate Wang Zhen and Xu Chun are colluding with each other, and have been detained by Sun Ce.

Xu Gong was furious and wanted to cut Lu Kang if he drew his sword. Lu Kang was very dissatisfied. I am over 60 years old and I have never seen anything before. I am afraid that you will threaten it?

Faced with Lu Kang's contemptuous look, Xu Gong finally did not dare to attack. Killing Lu Kang was easy, which was just a matter of one knife. But behind Lu Kang was the entire Wu County family. Without the support of these aristocratic families, he, as the prefect of Wu County, could not be done. Not only that, Lu Kang himself has a good reputation and ordinary people admire him very much. If he kills Lu Kang, the people of Wu County may hate him to the core.

Lu Kangshi left, and Xu Gong was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke. He wanted to make Sun Ce in a dilemma, but Sun Ce easily resolved his counterattack and forced him to a desperate situation, accusing him of covering up Xu Chun and colluding with him - Wang Zhen was his county magistrate, and Wang Zhen and Xu Chun colluded with each other, so he was naturally instructed by him.

Sun Ce detained Wang Zhen, and when the troops were at the city, he launched an army to question him. He could not stay in his door. This was too embarrassing.

After thinking about it, Xu Gong decided to take the initiative to attack. He defeated Sun Ce, but Wu County was still his. Even if the Wu County family had a strange intention, they might not dare to break up with him. If Sun Ce was allowed to stay outside the city, the Wu County family would have hope and be ready to move. Sooner or later, he, the prefect of Wu County, would be defeated and abandoned like a bad person.

Xu Jing firmly opposed it, but he couldn't stop Xu Gong. In desperation, he had to say goodbye to Xu Gong and go far away to Jiaozhou. Xu Gong sneered at Xu Jing's weakness. He said to Xu Jing, you can get on the boat first, but don't rush to leave. If I win, you can come back. If I lose, it's not too late for you to leave.

Xu Jing waved his hand and left.

——

When Lu Kang returned to the mansion, he sent someone to invite Zhang Yun, Gao Dai and others to convey Sun Ce's meaning.

Land annexation must be resolved, but Sun Ce does not want to fight with everyone and hopes to discuss the plan together. Lu Kang didn't know much about Runan, but he was willing to believe Sun Ce's words. The reason was very simple. Xu Shao fought with Sun Ce for so long, but Sun Ce did not uproot the Xu family and let Xu Shao leave Runan safely, which shows that what he said is true. He could do this in Runan, and now he returns to his hometown, he will never do more extraordinary than Runan. Even if there are any differences, as long as everyone remains rational, they can always find a solution.

Secondly, Sun Ce put forward an important point: The Wuhui was not a barbarian land. Long before Taibo fled to Wu, the Wuhui was the place where the saint Shun and Yu visited one after another, and was a member of the Chinese civilization. Those ancient legends may be facts, not just legends. If further research and more evidence can be found, it is likely that the history of the Wuhui is rewritten, and the achievements are higher than that of Handan Chun and Hu Zhao, who were from Nanyang County.

The people Lu Kang invited were all famous scholars in Wu County. Even if they were not very knowledgeable, they were a little proud. They both yearned for the civilization of the Central Plains and felt inferior. Suddenly, they heard that Wu would have the opportunity to trace his history back to the Shunyu era and compete with the Central Plains. They immediately became interested, especially Gao Dai and others who regarded themselves as scholars. This is an immortal achievement. If they succeed, there would be a seat in the Pantheon of Wuhui.

Gao Dai said: "Although General Sun is not famous for his literature, he is far-sighted and very consistent with the sage's education. Duke Lu, if you preside over this matter, even though I am not talented, I would like to follow the horse."

Lu Kang said a few words of humility and readily obeyed the order. "Zhou Lin, Wu Hui is one, such a big deal, the wise men of Kuaiji cannot stay out of the matter."
