Fang Chen came here determined to take this place.
Unifying the Three Kingdoms cannot take too long.
Even if Lu Kang doesn't agree, Fang Chen has already brought Yurikin.
"you?"
Lu Kang glanced at Fang Chen, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Fang, I appreciate your kindness, but it's not that I don't believe in your abilities. It's just that you have no soldiers, no generals, and are merely a scholar. I can't simply hand over Lujiang to you like this."
Lu Kang looked at Fang Chen and shook his head.
In truth, the person he longed for most was Sun Ce, the young hero.
However, he heard that Sun Ce was attacking Danyang County and that it would take at least ten days to get here!
"Lord Lu, are you sure you don't want to hand over Lujiang to me?" Seeing the determination in Lu Kang's eyes, Fang Chen knew that he had no chance. It seemed that it was time to use Yuri.
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, Ah San, could you please see my guest out for me?"
Following Lu Kang's voice, a servant emerged from the side room.
"Lord Lu, I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Fang Chen apologized to Lu Kang, then turned to Yurikin and ordered, "Control him!"
"What did you say?"
Lu Kang was taken aback. Before he could say anything, he saw a strange look flash in the eyes of the tall, foreign man behind Mr. Fang.
"Commander, alright, this Lord Lu is now completely under my control. What do you want to do?!" Yurikin used his mind magic to control Lu Kang and said proudly, as if showing off a treasure.
"May I have your name?"
"Lu Kang".
"Why not hand over Lujiang County to Mr. Fang?"
“Mr. Fang is too young and lacks a solid foundation. He is not the best person to entrust with this task. My ideal candidate is Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong. I have decided that once he arrives in Wancheng, I will entrust Luzhou County to him!” Lu Kang said suddenly.
"They're actually considering handing it over to Sun Ce!!"
Fang Chen smiled self-deprecatingly to himself.
Indeed, Lu Kang didn't see his own potential. If I had revealed my strength earlier, perhaps his choice would have been different.
Fang Chen originally admired Lu Kang's concern for the people and was prepared to recommend himself, but it seems that this will not work and he will have to use Yuri.
"Lord Lu, believe me, I will do even better than Sun Ce!"
Fang Chen gave Lu Kang a deep look, then said to Yuri, "Yuri Jin, have Lord Lu gather his men. Luzhou is now under the control of the Fang family army!"
"Yes, Commander."
......
"Generals, the world is in turmoil, and I am too old to lead you in protecting the people."
"After much consideration and observation, I have determined that Fang Chen is the best candidate, possessing great strength, benevolence, and compassion for the people. You may follow him from now on and continue to protect Luzhou!" In Wan County, at the drill ground where Lu Kang's prefecture was located, Lu Kang stood on a high platform and announced his decision to nearly a thousand officers, soldiers, and generals below.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Zu Lang Slaughters Wancheng
Fang Chen stood beside Lu Kang, dressed in golden armor, looking majestic and imposing.
He has the demeanor of a general.
"Who...who is Fang Chen?"
"Isn't Lord Lu's move a bit too hasty?"
"......"
Upon hearing Lu Kang's decision, many officers began to whisper among themselves and discuss it.
Clearly, these former subordinates of Lu Kang had begun to doubt Fang Chen's age and abilities.
Of course, Fang Chen had already anticipated this and was prepared for it. "Gentlemen, I, Fang..."
"Report!"
Before Fang Chen could finish speaking, a fast horse suddenly galloped in from outside!
He was a scout, though.
Upon hearing this voice, all the officers on the drill ground turned to look.
"explain!"
At Yuri's prompting, Lu Kang spoke calmly.
"Reporting to Lord Lu, Zu Lang is leading three elite guards and seven thousand bandits, and is ten miles outside the city! He says he intends to massacre the city!" The scout pulled on his reins, jumped off his horse, and reported.
"What?"
Many officers' expressions changed drastically. Wasn't Zulang, a bandit, always entrenched in Muqi Mountain?
Why the sudden massacre of the city?
