Chapter 110 Who is the fisherman

Because Lu Qiang was injured, the brigade was not allowed to be stationed. Due to the red rabbit horse storm, the nearby counties also knew the news of the arrival of the assassin, so the county magistrates immediately formed a group to come to Rao.

How old is the assassin?

Many people have never left the village they live in in their lives. They have been to the largest place, which is the county. The county magistrate has existed like an emperor in their eyes. It is said that this assassin has to kneel down even when the county magistrate sees it...

For a while, the small Shangrao County suddenly became lively. There were officials from all over the world, many famous gentry who wanted to dig a way, and many people from all directions.

What the people think is very simple. They all say that this assassin loves the people like a son, which will definitely solve their difficulties. In recent years, they have been in chaos, and they have suffered enough.

At the same time, I heard that Shangrao is going to expand into a county city and is being recruited. Everyone knows that Assassin is the most preferential to the army. The salary of soldiers is high and the treatment of military subordinates is good, so many of them come to join the army.

Lu Qiang was not in the mood to pay attention to the messy things below. He simply used the excuse to recover from his injury and pushed everything to Sima Xiuzhi.

In fact, this is also the meaning of testing Sima Xiuzhi.

Sima Xiuzhi did not disappoint Lu Qiang. After exploring around the county with Meng Xu and He Guangsheng, he immediately organized migrant workers with Meng Xu to rebuild the city wall and helped Meng Xu plan the blueprint of the city.

After Meng Xu finished his work, he helped He Guangsheng recruit soldiers, train new recruits, etc., which can be said to be both literary and military.

Of course, Lu Qiang is not really recovering from the injury. That small injury is nothing to him at all. In these days, in addition to appeasing local officials, he has been waiting for their news for generations.

Finally one afternoon, a person's name was sent to Lu Qiang.

Yangzhou Assassin, Zhu Chaoshi.

Who is this person? He can't find this person at all in Lu Qiang's memory. Why does he have to fight with himself?

Lu Qiang knew that the Zhu family was a local family in the south of the Yangtze River. Before Huan Xuan, the Zhu family even had more private soldiers than the army of the Jiankang court, and the position of the governor of Yangzhou had always been held by the Zhu family.

But even so, Lu Qiang has never had a head-on conflict with him. Why did he take the initiative to provoke himself?

After thinking for a long time, I didn't figure it out. I had to order someone to find Sima Xiuzhi. He has served in the court and should be able to give himself some useful information!

Sima Xiu's feet were busy, but this man obviously couldn't be idle. Lu Qiang used him like a silly boy. Instead, he was happy and seemed to leave him idle, so he would not do it!

After receiving Lu Qiang's call, Sima Xiuzhi came quickly. After seeing this person's name, he frowned and meditated for a moment before saying, "The Zhu family is very powerful in Yangzhou. Almost all the officials in Yangzhou are from their families. Even with Erliu's strong strength, they dare not plunder its front. Now he takes the initiative. To provoke the lord, his subordinates think that there are nothing more than two purposes. One is to be provoked by Erliu, and the other is to provoke the fight between the adult and Erliu, so that he can sit down and reap the interests of the fisherman."

Lu Qiang nodded. Although he did not understand Zhu Chaoshi, he was more inclined to the second possibility mentioned by Sima Xiuzhi. As for Zhu Chaoshi's strength, as long as he and Erliu are injured, he will be profitable.

This person has never attracted his attention and has quietly done such a big thing. Obviously, he is a scheming person. It seems that he has to be more defensive against him in the future.

It's just that if this matter is done, wouldn't it be underestimated? After a moment of silence, I ordered someone to bring the map.

Looking at Lu Qiang's behavior, Sima Xiuzhi seemed to understand and asked carefully, "Your excellency is going to use troops in Yangzhou? It seems that there is no need for it!"

Lu Qiang smiled and did not reply. He lowered his head and stared at the map.

Shangrao borders Yangzhou. After entering Yangzhou, there are two counties, Xin'an and Dongyang, two counties, more than 200 miles south or north.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Qiang finally landed his finger on the name of Dongyang County.

"Come on, it is said that the two generals Zhou Kui and Zhang Changzhi came to see me"

It's impolite to come and attack the city. Lu Qiang didn't think about it, but it's okay to break into Yangzhou to show off his power, right? This is also a reminder for Zhu Chaoshi.

"Give me an honest, I want to hit you, and I can come at any time."

In addition, Lu Qiang's injury has improved. He can't stay here indefinitely. After the southern tour, he must return to Jiangling as soon as possible. There are too many things for him to deal with!

Sima Xiuzhi did not feel that he had unconsciously integrated into the role of Lu Qiang. He knew that Zhu Chaoshi had indeed done too much this time, but he did not agree with Lu Qiang to go to war with Zhu Chaoshi now, but after seeing Lu Qiang's arrangement, he was relieved.

An hour later, 2,000 iron rode ready to go outside the city. Lu Qiang stepped on a red rabbit horse for the first time and only felt extremely excited.

He knew that Zhu Chaoshi would pay close attention to his movements, but in terms of the current communication method, after Zhu Chaoshi got the news, he had already led the army back.

There is no fancy language. These two thousand guards are veterans who have been following him. One look and one action is enough to tell them what to do.

The overlord's bow is on his back, and there is a square halberd hanging on the winning hook next to the saddle. In addition to this fiery red rabbit rouge beast, there is already some legendary Lv Bu-shaped god.

But Lu Qiang is Lu Qiang. He will not deliberately imitate anyone.

After inspecting the horse in front of the neat queue with cold eyes, he suddenly turned the horse's head and galloped to the southwest.

Just now Lu Qiang has ordered Meng Xu to declare that he will continue to patrol the south, and the route he is now leading the troops is not going to Yangzhou. After walking dozens of miles, he will change his way. Only in this way can he confuse Zhu Chaoshi to the greatest extent.

The red rabbit horse has its true destiny, and has been extremely excited these days. At this time, he took the lead with Lu Qiang and soon left the team far behind. If Lu Qiang hadn't been afraid of being criticized by Sima Xiu, he really wanted to let it run like this. That fast and steady feeling is really not indescribable in any language.

Two thousand iron horses, like a rolling torrent, gradually drift away from the dust in the sky until they disappear...

Dongyang County Government and County Guard.

Zhu Chunmu, Zhu Chaoshi's third brother, looked at his nephew Zhu Zan sitting beside him with a worried face. He really couldn't figure out why his brother took the initiative to provoke Lu Qiang? You should know that the boy whose surname can be Lu is now a person who doesn't even dare to provoke Er Liu easily.

Brother's strategy seems to be very smart, but is there an impenetrable wall in the world? Once Lu Qiang knows that his family attacked him, how can there be no reason not to revenge with Lu Qiang's character?

Zhu Zan's worries about his third uncle are very disapproving? I, the Zhu family, have dominated Yangzhou for decades, and even Erliu dare not be disrespectful to my Zhu family. Now I have cleaned up a small road strong. Are you worried about this?

In fact, Lu Qiang's current intelligence network is not sound enough. For example, Zhu Chaoshi took the initiative to provoke Lu Qiang. Of course, there are Zhu Chaoshi's own ideas, and he is also instigated by others, and this person is from the Guangling Lu family.

This was not mentioned in the report to Lu Qiang. Obviously, the information is still not in place, but it is very good to do this on behalf of Qianqiu. After all, Zhifengtang has not been established for a long time.

However, the fight that provoked Lu Qiang over Erliu also hit Zhu Chaoshi's bosom. Yangzhou is close to Jiangzhou, and Zhu Chaoshi, who lives in Yangzhou, has felt the threat of Lu Qiang.

Everyone knows that it is better to do it first and suffer later.

After learning that Lu Qiang had arrived in Shangrao, Zhu Chaoshi was also worried that he would be retaliated by Lu Qiang, and transferred 10,000 horses to Dongyang and Xin'an.

Although the Zhu family is the local snake of Yangzhou, its real army is only more than 50,000. Except for the 30,000 troops that defend the Yangzhou Institute, there are not many mobile troops he can mobilize.

Lu Qiang only brought 2,000 cavalry to the south. In Zhu Chaoshi's imagination, even if 10,000 infantry could not defeat Lu Qiang, there would be no problem defending the city.

The so-called ignorant are fearless, Zhu Chaoshi overestimated the combat effectiveness of his army and underestimated Lu Qiang's revenge.

"Uncle, there is nothing to worry about. Although I didn't kill the boy surnamed Lu this time, I also hurt him a lot. In less than ten days and a half months, he didn't want to recover, and when I left, I cleaned up my tail, and he wouldn't find us."

Although Zhu Zan is young, he is very intelligent. He is a bright person among the descendants of the Zhu family and has always been valued by Zhu Chaoshi. He once looked at Lu Qiang's skills secretly and knew that he was definitely an untouchable person, but Zhu Zan was also confident in himself. If he didn't want to be found clues, he would definitely not be found.

Zhu Chunmu shook his head with a bitter smile and said in his heart, "I hope so!" He knew that this nephew had not suffered any setbacks since he was a child. Although he was smart, he was too conceited. Once such a person makes a mistake, it may be fatal. It's just that so far, there has been no movement on Lu Qiang's side, and he hasn't said much.

The two uncles and nephews were talking when they suddenly heard footsteps outside, and then they saw the bodyguard walking in quickly.

"Report, my lord, Shangrao urgent report..."

As soon as the bodyguard's words fell, Zhu Chunmu rushed up, took the report from the bodyguard's hand, opened it and looked at it quickly, and then frowned.

Zhu Zan said that he didn't care about Lu Qiang's reaction, but when he heard Shangrao's urgent news, he couldn't help mentioning it. He stood up and took the report from the third uncle. After reading it, he said, "The third uncle thinks that Lu Qiang's going south is fake?"

Zhu Chunmu nodded solemnly: "I see that this son often does something strange in the battle with the Huan family or Er Liu. How can I know that he didn't go south to confuse us?"

Zhu Zan pondered for a moment, and then Zhan Yan said, "Uncle is too worried! Not to mention whether he can doubt us, even if he doubts, what can he do? He only has 2,000 cavalry in his hand. Do you dare to fight? Although I heard that he recruited a lot of new recruits in Shangrao, what's the use of pulling those recruits out?

Although that's the case, Zhu Chunmu always feels unsteady and feels like something is going to happen...
