The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 138
Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, was Liu Biao's former general. After Shi Huang, the former prefect of Cangwu, died, Liu Biao sent Wu Ju to replace him with the intention of encroaching on Jiaozhou.

At the same time, Cangwu is bordered by Jingnan. If you advance, you can conquer Guiyang and Lingling, and if you retreat, you can restrain the soldiers and horses of the two places.

It can be said that from a long time ago, Liu Biao had the heart to swallow up Shi Xie. The biggest purpose of sending Wu Ju over was also to prepare to occupy Jiaozhou, so as to maintain the stability of Jingzhou as quickly as possible.

Although Liu Biao didn't like martial arts, he also knew that Jingzhou was rich and rich, which would inevitably attract the attention of the princes. Once the war lasted for a long time, Sun Ce of Jiangdong would immediately send troops to intervene in Jingzhou's affairs.

Therefore, when Wu Ju came to Cangwu, the first thing he wanted to do was to expand his army. With Liu Biao's indirect support, there are nearly 2 troops in Cangwu City.

A small number of these people are the elites sent by Jingzhou. They are all in full battle armor and extremely brave. tribe.

This is also the reason why Shi Xie knew that Wu Ju had ulterior motives, and he could not speak out. To destroy Wu Ju, he would not only have to pay a huge price, but also bear Liu Biao's possible anger. Of course, Shi Xie did not dare to do it lightly.

Yuan Yao sent troops to Nanhai County, and Wu Ju had already received the news.

Moreover, Jingzhou also sent someone to send a secret letter, hoping that Wu Ju could hold Yuan Yao back and make him sink into the quagmire of Jiaozhou, and he could not take care of him.

Therefore, Wu Ju didn't even think about it when he heard that Qu Jing's army was defeated and came to vote. He just asked people to open the gate of the city.

Qu Jing is also a hero on one side, and the two sides do not interfere with each other on weekdays, and the relationship between the two is also good.

Since he wants to win over Jing and deal with Yuan Yao together, of course Wu Ju needs to express his enthusiasm, and is there any better way to express friendliness than to greet him in person?
Immediately, Wu Ju was about to leave the eunuch's mansion with his own soldiers, ready his chariots and horses. Suddenly, when he saw a person appearing, Wu Ju was startled, and hurried to get acquainted with the person.

But it was his colleague, Lai Gong who was an official under Liu Biao.

Speaking of Lai Gong, we must not mention the competition for the governor of Jiaozhou.

The original governor of Jiaozhou was Zhu Fu. After Zhu Fu's death, the imperial court sent Zhang Jin to replace him.

At this time, it happened to be the decline of the Han Dynasty and the time when the emperor was drifting away. The order was not out of the court, and the tribute was not understood by the capital.

At that time, Liu Biao had newly acquired Jingzhou, and he had great ambitions. He could be said to be coveting his neighbor Jiaozhou.

And Lai Gong was sent by him to act as Zhang Jin's governor.

However, the Jiaozhou taxi family had already controlled half of Jiaozhou at that time, so naturally they didn't want to hand over their rights.

Therefore, they united with Qu Jing and other Jiaozhou forces to resist Lai Gong's appointment. In order to make himself the governor of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie sent people to Chang'an to pay tribute, offering treasures and curios, and bribing Li Jue, Guo Si and others. , Li Jue and others also believed that Liu Biao was a clan member of the Han family, and once he controlled the two states, it would definitely be disadvantageous to them.

So he ordered to reject Liu Biao's recommendation, and ordered Shi Xie to be Suinan Zhonglang General, leading the Jiaozhi prefect, and the rest of the scholar brothers were either county chiefs or school lieutenants.

It can be said that Lai Gong came here in good spirits and returned in disappointment.

At that time, Shi Huang happened to pass away, and Lai Gong walked halfway, unaware that Liu Biao had sent Wu Ju to take over.

He retreated to the next best thing, thinking to himself that since the governor could not be successful, one prefect would still be enough, so he stopped in Cangwu, and while using his private wealth to recruit soldiers and bravery, he wrote to Liu Biao, begging to be the prefect of Cangwu.

However, the letter has not been sent yet, Wu Ju has arrived, Lai Gong is frustrated again, and he can't go back to Lingling in vain, which is ridiculed. , find a place to live.

Liu Biao also apologized to Lai Gong. Hearing that Lai Gong was stationed in Cangwu and refused to leave, he secretly ordered Wu Ju not to make things difficult. At the same time, he trusted Gong again, apologized repeatedly, and hinted that he could, if he had the energy, Help him seize Nanhai County, and just like that, it is rare that there are two different forces in Cangwu.

On this day, Lai Gong was dealing with miscellaneous matters in the army, when he heard the commotion outside the city, he hurriedly sent someone to inquire, only then did he know that the soldiers in Qujing were defeated and came to vote.

Wu Ju ordered to go out of the city to meet him again, he couldn't help being shocked, and hurried to persuade him.

Speaking of which, the two were in the same place, so why did Lai Gong need to send someone to inquire about the defeat of Qu Jing before he could find out?
There is a saying that goes well, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female.

The land of Cangwu is only so small, and Wu Ju's subordinates have tens of thousands of mouths to eat, and they also need to take care of their own luxurious life.

However, although Lai Gong's subordinates were only a few thousand, they occupied three counties under Cangwu, which naturally made Wu Ju very dissatisfied.

On weekdays, they all take care of their own, so it is naturally impossible to share information.

Moreover, this is Cangwu City and Wu Ju's stronghold, so Lai Gong's news must be delayed.

However, although it was too late for Lai Gong to get the news, he still wanted to come over to persuade him.

Although the two did not fight each other, they were both Liu Biao's subordinates after all.

He thought it was his responsibility to help Liu Biao stabilize Cangwu, the springboard embedded in Jiaozhou.

Naturally, he didn't want Yuan Yao to attack because of Wu Ju's reckless behavior.

Seeing Lai Gong, Wu Ju was naturally not in a good mood. With a stern face, he said perfunctorily with some dissatisfaction: "I am very happy to see Lieutenant Lai coming here, but I just have something to do, and I will talk to you when I am free." .”

After finishing speaking, he was about to walk past him with someone.

Lai Gong was not willing to let Wu Ju go, so he hurriedly stopped Wu Ju, but his officer was just a small captain of the military inspector Liu Biaoshou, so naturally he couldn't overstep, he just held his breath, took a step back and saluted: " I heard that the prefect is going to welcome District King into the city?"

Wu Ju nodded, looked at Lai Gong vigilantly, and secretly thought that this person ran over, maybe he also wanted to take the opportunity to win over Qu Jing?You have to be careful yourself.

How did Lai Gong know Wu Ju's careful thoughts? He was only thinking about Cangwu's safety, and he tried to persuade him: "My lord thinks, how is Cangwu compared to Nanhai County? Cangwu's army is better than Nanhai? Yuan Yao Under the imperial edict to kill the thieves, and the troops are elite troops, Nanhai County’s Jiancheng, Jiaozhou is also one of the best, and now it has been breached in less than ten days, and the Lord took the district, isn’t it a fire?”

Wu Ju was furious, and glared at Lai Gong bitterly. Since he became the master of Cangwu, he has tens of thousands of troops, and he is naturally ambitious in his heart. He wants to make a great cause. If such words come from his confidant , Wu Ju would still think about it, but when these words came out of Lai Gong's mouth, Wu Ju inevitably muttered in his heart, suspecting that Lai Gong had other thoughts and wanted to plot against him.

He didn't think that Lai Gong would kindly help him.If you really want to help yourself, you won't hold on to the military power.

Immediately, Wu Ju couldn't help laughing, pretended to be listening, and asked: "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Lai Gong was so earnest that he thought that Wu Ju had really listened to it, so he hurriedly cheered up, and said loudly: "In my opinion, you should lure Qu Jing into the city, then kill him and dedicate it to Yuan Yao. Once Qu Jing dies, Yuan Yao will not die It is an excuse to continue attacking Jiaozhou. If he wants to attack other places, Jiaozhou Shixie will definitely not sit idly by. If he withdraws troops, we can also take the opportunity to incite the Yue people to attack the South China Sea and seize that land. The best of both worlds, can not only keep Cangwu safe, but also take the opportunity to expand power and pave the way for the capture of Jiaozhou, isn't it great?"

Wu Ju had preconceived ideas and had long suspected that Lai Gong was restless and kind. When he heard that he wanted to attack the South China Sea, he couldn't bear it any longer and said with a sneer, "What a Lai Gong, such a plan, even if the ovary is still alive, it's nothing more than that!"

Although Lai Gong is frustrated, he is also experienced in the world. How can he not hear the thorn in it? His color has changed. He is a small official, but it does not mean that he is easy to bully. Pointing at Wu Ju, he said, "Wu Ju, I've kindly conspired for you, how can I speak so politely?"

Wu Ju was also angry, he took a step forward, his fat body pushed Lai Gong's body back a step, and then he shouted angrily: "My surname is Lai, don't think I don't know what you're planning, you've said so much , I'm not thinking about the land in the South China Sea, let me tell you, I have decided to take over the scene of today's area. Let's see how brave Yuan Yao is, dare to come here to cause trouble!"

Lai Gong was taken a step back by Wu Juding, everyone saw him, he felt that he had lost face, and was squeezed face to face by Wu Ju, his face was red and hot like the charcoal fire of the winter moon, knowing that it would be useless to say anything He sighed, and walked away without saying hello.

Wu Ju sneered, watched Lai Gong go out, and casually ordered the guards: "In the future, if this person comes again, he will be a fight. He thought he was saying, a small captain, if the lord hadn't explained, I would have killed him a long time ago." , how can you make him rude!"

Seeing this, the guards around him all came to flatter him, flattered Wu Ju, and spoke viciously again, saying many bad things about Lai Gong.

With a full smile on his face, Wu Ju got into the carriage with his personal guards, and walked out of the city gate to welcome the district scene into the city.

Ou Jing was flattered, and Xin Xin ran back to the prefect's mansion with Wu Ju in the same car. The guests and hosts were seated. The prefect accepts a gift from me!"

Wu Ju honestly accepted Qu Jing's salute, made him sit back, and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Qu, don't worry, although Cangwu is small, there are tens of thousands of soldiers. But there is always a mouse, it can be trampled to death at any time! Brother District, just live in peace of mind."

Qu Jing thanked him, then remembered something, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, I came here in a hurry, my subordinate Erlang has not been able to eat for many days, please ask Mr. Wu to help me a little bit."

Wu Ju secretly smiled in his heart, seeing Qu Jing's distressed appearance, he was also a little startled, but he knew that Qu Jing's strength in the past was not much weaker than Cangwu's, and with the help of Yue people, why did he become so weak after more than ten days? This look.

He couldn't help being curious, and asked: "Brother Qu is in the South China Sea. He also has a strong army and a strong city in the South China Sea. Why did he lose the city in just over ten days?"

When asked about his pain, Ou Jing felt somewhat uncomfortable. Who likes to publicize his own scandals everywhere, glanced at the people around Wu Ju, and obviously did not intend to back down. Ou Jing had no choice but to hold back his anger and put I recounted my own failures in detail, embellishing them.

According to Qu Jing, Yuan Yao's men and horses also suddenly became 5 horses, and the thunderbolt chariot was also called an ordinary catapult by him on purpose.

In the version of the district scene, he fought with a group of warriors and heroes, but he couldn't hold back Yuan Yao's numerous troops and sharp catapults. He had to defend four gates, and his troops were scattered, so he was captured by Yuan Yao's strong attack regardless of the cost.

Among them, how brave Qu Jing was, needless to say, Yuan Yao's behavior was also given a deceitful name by Qu Jing casually. According to Qu Jing, his failure was because he fell into Yuan Yao's trick. Not that he wasn't brave enough.

For these, Wu Ju felt a little watery, but he could also understand that the loser would always find some excuse for himself to cover up and justify.

This situation is human nature.However, he also noticed one thing from the intentionally exaggerated description of Qu Jing, that is, Yuan Yao has a large number of catapults in his hands.

This is a fatal thing.It is a siege weapon.

Speaking of catapults, they were rare at the end of the Han Dynasty. However, it does not mean that there were no such vehicles. It was just because the Han Dynasty was in peace for a long time, and even wars often occurred in the northern grasslands. So important, it has not been used on a large scale.

However, this does not mean that no one used this thing in the Han Dynasty. Even in Cangwu City, there are still two or three cars in stock, but they have been in disrepair for a long time and are no longer usable.

Hearing that Qu Jing was defeated by the catapult, Wu Ju also believed it.Immediately, he asked the generals to discuss ways to strengthen the city and resist the catapults.

They also asked people to pretend to be ordinary people and go to Nanhai County and other places to find out about Yuan Yao's reality.

Although he spoke with arrogance in front of Lai Gong, after all, the appearance of the catapult also made Wu Ju feel a sense of crisis.Yuan Yao's possible attack had to be treated with caution.

At the same time, Yuan Yao's spies followed the remnant soldiers in Qu Jing, and saw that Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, picked up Qu Jing and entered the city. , It was also secretly circulated in Cangwu City.

The quarrel between the two is already a public secret of Cangwu, and it is also a topic of conversation among the people of Cangwu. The two have an awkward relationship, and naturally it spreads very quickly.

These two pieces of news were also placed on Yuan Yao's desk.
