    Yinling County, outside the prefecture.

    The clatter of horse hooves resounded on the street.

    One man and one horse were running towards each other at a fast pace. The horses stopped outside the prefect's mansion. Sun Lang immediately turned over and dismounted.  He was a frequent visitor to the Prefect's Mansion. After getting off his horse, the concierge did not stop him at all and allowed Sun Lang to enter.

    Sun Lang arrived in the hall and waited quietly.

    It didn¡¯t take long before Lu Yuanda arrived.  As soon as he saw Sun Lang, he said eagerly: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sun, sit down. How are you going to see Wang Qi this time?"

    After Sun Lang sat down, he said directly: "Reporting to your lord, after I met Wang Qi, I expressed your willingness to submit to Wang Qi. Wang Qi accepted your submission, but there is a condition."

    Lu Yuanda frowned and asked, "What conditions?"

    Sun Lang said: "Master Lu is going to Qingzhou to serve as governor, or to Guangling County as the governor."

    Lu Yuanda¡¯s face looked a little solemn.

    Leaving Jiujiang County?

    You must know that his roots are in Jiujiang County, and the Lu family is a wealthy family in Jiujiang County.  If you leave here, you will lose too many advantages.

    Lu Yuanda thought for a while and said: "Mr. Sun, before you left, I once said that I wanted to stay in Jiujiang County as the prefect. Although this condition is not necessarily like this. But have you ever told Wang Qi?  , I want to stay in Jiujiang County?"

    Sun Lang nodded and said, "Of course I said it, and I said it right away."

    Lu Yuanda said: "What did Wang Qi say?"

    Sun Lang said: "Wang Qi roughly gave three reasons for this matter."

    Lu Yuanda asked: "What three aspects?"

    Sun Lang looked solemn and said slowly: "First, Wang Qi said that he was unwilling to deceive Mr. Lu, let alone burn down the bridge. He said that he was very appreciative when he heard Mr. Lu surrendered."

    "He could have agreed directly to Mr. Lu's conditions and transferred Mr. Lu away from Jiujiang after taking control of Jiujiang County. But he was unwilling to do such a thing and deceive Mr. Lu, so he said straight to the point that it was not possible."

    "I think Wang Qi's answer is sincere and trustworthy. Judging from his words and deeds, he is indeed not the kind of person who turns his back on others."

    Sun Lang talked eloquently and continued: "If he really wanted to seize Jiujiang County, he could have just perfunctoryly agreed to Mr. Lu's conditions first and then planned the follow-up. But he did not do this, which shows his character and broadmindedness."

    After hearing this, Lu Yuanda also nodded, with a slightly lighter expression on his face.

    What Sun Lang said makes sense.

    If the matter of surrender is placed on Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei will definitely draw the cake first and agree first.  As for subsequent adjustments and arrangements, the overall situation has been decided, and Lu Yuanda has no way to change anything.

    Lu Yuanda asked: "What about the second one?"

    Seeing that Lu Yuanda agreed with the first point, Sun Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

    It shouldn¡¯t be difficult.

    Sun Lang looked relaxed and continued: "Secondly, after Jiujiang County belongs to the State of Qi, it will be a key location on the border between the State of Qi and the State of Chen, and it will also be the bridgehead for future attacks on the State of Chen."

    "Wang Qi must hold such a key position in his hands. Moreover, it must be someone who is good at conquering and fighting to ensure the stability of Jiujiang County and prevent it from being taken back by Yuan Wei."

    Sun Lang continued: "Wang Qi said that Mr. Lu is a capable minister in governing the place, but Mr. Lu is still lacking in leading troops to fight, so you cannot stay in Jiujiang County."

    Lu Yuanda¡¯s temperament has always been relatively gentle, and he can also listen to persuasion.

    After listening to Sun Lang's words, he nodded and said: "What Wang Qi said makes sense. When it comes to governing places, I am indeed good at it. The Jiujiang County under my rule is better than the other counties in Yangzhou. Not only the people can live a stable life.  , and the entire Jiujiang County has a flourishing literary style and a gathering of literati. When it comes to fighting, I do have some shortcomings."

    At this time, Lu Yuanda felt a little more comfortable because of Wang Qi's comments, and lost his previous reluctance.

    Lu Yuanda said: "What about the third one?"

    Sun Lang replied: "Thirdly, Wang Qi said that since Mr. Lu has chosen to surrender, he must intend to serve in Qi for a long time. Mr. Lu wants to stay in Jiujiang County. Is it because he wants to listen to the instructions but not the propaganda? Is it because he wants to separate the regions?  ?¡±

    "All officials in various places under the rule of Qi State obey Wang Qi's orders and command. Under Wang Qi's rule, the whole country must be a game of chess, and everything must obey orders, and there can be no separatist regimes."

    "So Wang Qi said, if Mr. Lu implementsThe sound of tidy footsteps echoed in the air.  Each of the soldiers looked solemn and exuded an aura of murder.

    Wang Qi rode a horse, and his horses were supplied when he was in Zhongli County.  Riding a horse makes traveling much easier.  Others were at the front, followed by Gu Tong and Xia Houhu, and the army hurried quickly in the rear.

    The army is getting closer and closer to the county seat.

    Although people have not yet arrived at the city gate, the momentum of the army can be heard through the sound of neat footsteps.

    After Lu Yuanda saw it at the city gate, there was a hint of surprise on his face.  Looking from a distance, he could already see the troops rushing outside. The troops were neat and uniform, and they were walking without saying a word and without any chaos.

    Such an army has strict orders and prohibitions.

    Extremely rare.

    At least Lu Yuanda himself has never seen an army with such a neat appearance.  At this moment, Lu Yuanda felt that it was a wise decision for him to submit to Wang Qi.  If he really wanted to fight Wang Qi, he would definitely not be able to stop him with the fighting prowess of his soldiers.

    When Wang Qi's army was very close to the city, less than forty steps away, Lu Yuanda took his civil and military officials and many literati to greet them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
