Pei Ji then spoke:

"Xia Guan has an account book in his hand, record all these things in it, Wen Hou can correspond to find them one by one, if there is any concealment, Ji is willing to accept any punishment!"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows,

He didn't expect Pei Ji to be so single,

Regarding the reaction of the three of them,

He and Zhang have speculated many times before,

There should be some twists and turns,

And the last three will eventually surrender,

After all, now the general trend is on Lu Bu's side,

All three of them are ghost-like characters,

How could you possibly do such an eyeless thing.

At most, I gave Lu Bu some bitterness to taste before,

I just hope that Lu Bu will not be too contemptuous of restricting the development of the three of them.

And Lu Bu and Zhang are two,

have asserted,

The person who showed weakness at the beginning must be Pei Ji,

Zhang Ji even said firmly,

The point of entry for showing weakness must be before,

The time that Lu Bu once participated by chance,

Pei Ji conspired with local horse bandits,

Greedy for the matter of the ordnance.

The beginning of things,

As the two of them speculated,

Lu Bu was not surprised,

However, to his surprise,

The decision made by Pei Ji at this moment,

far exceeded his expectations,

Even more optimistic than the relatively optimistic Zhang Ji,

The predicted results were much better.

This surprised Lu Bu in his heart,

couldn't help but glance at Pei Ji,

This guy is very single,

was able to do this directly,

I don't think it should be the meaning of the family,

If it is really the result of the joint discussion of their three families,

Liu Quan and Xue Gui would not be so surprised,

And at this time, I will not be caught off guard on the spot,

If it weren't for the family's instructions,

Then it can only be Pei Ji's personal decision,

Since this incident happened today,

At this moment, it has only been a short time,

Pei Ji was able to make such a decision,

Likewise, this is also a very interesting person.

Lu Bu withdrew his fingers that were tapping on the table,

Slowly groping his chin,

looked at Pei Ji with interest.

Facing Lu Bu's playful eyes,

Pei Ji then added:

"In addition, the lower officials also want to clarify that although they have taken advantage of their positions to seek a lot of personal gains, they have not affected the interests and image of our state, and most of the caravans in the past are illegal traders who smuggle contraband, and most of the weapons sold by the lower officials are defective and semi-waste products that have been replaced by the army or have been kept in the warehouse for too long, and they are unusable. The last batch of smuggled equipment and participants have now been seized by the lower officials, and Wen Hou can also send someone to check it in person. At the same time, if Wen Hou can go in person, not to mention anything else, that group of escort soldiers can completely become Wen Hou's henchmen, most of those people are guys who can't survive in various places, just because they have no way or offend the powerful, but the ability of that group of people, I dare not say that it is comparable to the most outstanding troops under Wen Hou's command, but it is definitely a rare group of talents. ”

The smile on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth deepened,

looked at Pei Ji's eyes with a faint appreciation,

Joked in his mouth:

"So, you're still thinking about me, are you?"

"The lower officials don't dare."

Pei Ji hurriedly lowered his head,

I breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart,

At present, he should have made the right bet,

At least, it didn't make the situation worse,

In this way, their Pei family can be said to be safe,

As for whether it can be taken to the next level,

It depends on how the father chooses in the future.

After today's events,

I need to report it to my father as soon as possible.

Lu Bu's right arm and elbow rested on the desk,

With his right hand on his chin,

The left hand subconsciously taps on the tabletop,

looked at Pei Ji, Liu Quan, and Xue Gui,

Liu Quan and Xue Gui still didn't speak,

Lu Bu already had a general idea in his heart,

Gently spoke:

"It doesn't matter if you are an official and greedy, people, who doesn't want the wife and children at home to eat better, dress beautifully, and live more moisturized, it's not a big deal, as long as I can have the ability, I can turn a blind eye to the ink. In fact, it's not just you, it's everywhere, it's just a matter of whether you look good or not. To tell you the truth, I am very dissatisfied with the current situation in Guanzhong, this trip is to see for myself, I have also prepared some back-ups, I think you all know that the Zhong clan of Yingchuan is moving to Guanzhong, and at the same time, there is also the Jingzhao Du clan......"

Pei Ji raised his head and was about to speak,

was interrupted by Lu Bu's continued opening:

"Don't say any splendid words to me, there are no outsiders here now, let's all say what is in our hearts. Okay, the three sons all get up, I don't know what happened to me Lu Bu. ”

The three of them looked at each other,

But he still listened to Lu Bu's words and sat down,

But the sitting posture is different among the three,

Pei Ji is relatively much more natural,

Obviously, Fang Cai's words that were open-minded,

It also makes him feel extremely relaxed now.

As for Liu Quan and Xue Gui,

It's a lot more worried,

Especially Xue Gui,

At this time, his face was still very ugly,

Fang Cai Pei Ji's choice made him have the urge to emulate,

But after thinking about it,

But he did not dare,

Although he is a very respected son of the family,

to be able to have a certain amount of authority,

But when it comes to the whole family,

He doesn't have much to say.

The family is willing to cooperate with Lu Bu,

He served Lu Bu in his personal name,

This kind of thing will also be happy for the family to see,

But today's thing,

It's a bit self-defeating,

He wants to show weakness and sincerity at this moment,

On the one hand, it is in the way of face,

On the other hand, he was also afraid that Lu Bu would not accept it.

Just when Xue Gui hesitated,

Liu Quan slowly stood up,

Saluted to Lu Bu solemnly with his fists,

But he is feminine in appearance,

Posture and action are also habitually lacking masculinity,

It looks a little nondescript at the moment.

"Wen Hou, Liu Quan, a disciple of the Liu clan in Xiahedong. Although our Liu family is only engaged in some ordinary cloth and clothing business, but the Ming people did not say secret words before, and there are some disgraceful means. Our family asked if there was an opportunity to seek cooperation with Wenhou, of course, this is also the plan that our three Hedong families have discussed together. For Wen Hou, he admires it very much, and Pei Sanshao's actions are also willing to follow suit, but his status in the family is not enough to influence the family's decision. Therefore, I can only serve Wen Hou in person, and I am willing to be a pawn of the lord, and I ask the lord not to dislike it. ”

Xue Gui looked at Liu Quan in disbelief,

In his impression,

Liu Quan is a sissy,

How could you ever be so like a man,

Deal with one thing neatly,

But he didn't have time to sigh at the change in Liu Quan,

At this moment, the three Pei families and Liu families in Hedong have expressed their positions,

Only their Xue family is still silent,

has fallen behind a lot,

Now he has no way out,

Hurriedly put aside the hesitation in his mind,

Stand up and salute:

"Wen Hou, no, the lord, it was Xue Gui who didn't know Mount Tai before, and the family had a strict order to cooperate with the lord as much as possible, and fully support the lord to stabilize the situation in the guanzhong, and he was blinded by the lard, and asked the lord to ignore the past suspicions and give the next opportunity, so that our Xue family can deepen the friendship with the lord."

Xue Gui is also a child of a big family in the end,

made a decisive choice,

Like the other two,

Served Lu Bu,

But only Pei Ji directly tied up the family to Lu Bu's chariot without reservation,

The other two just said that they wanted to strengthen cooperation with Lu Bu,

This choice should also be the choice of the vast majority of families,

After all, this can be left and right,

It is more conducive to the continuation and development of the family.

finally stabilized the three families,

Lu Bu finally couldn't hide the joy in his heart,

There was a smug smile on his face,

looked at the three of them and softened their gaze a lot,

"Three sons, we will be a family in the future, I am more easy-going, don't be so restrained."

Liu Quan and Xue Gui,

At this moment, I finally relaxed,

The three of them originally had a good relationship,

Now it is once again on the same front,

They all exchanged a look,

It's just that now everyone's eyes are more inexplicable.

On the other side, Zhang Ji took a sip of tea,

A warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

looked at Lu Bu's eyes with a hint of admiration,

Lu Bu's process of subduing the three seems to be as simple as overpowering people,

But in fact, every step of the way,

Lu Bu's response and measures were perfect.

From before that rice shop,

After Li Shan and others appeared,

Lu Bu decided not to continue to forbear,

It seems that he was forced by Li Shan and others step by step to start a confrontation,

In fact, in the process,

Lu Bu also played a key role in taking advantage of the trend.

Without his brilliant grasp and control of time and situation,

Zhang Yan and others will not coincidentally appear when the two sides are on the verge of breaking out.

If Lu Bu reveals his identity early,

may be able to achieve the purpose of deterrence,

But I don't dare to guarantee whether Xue Gui will jump off the wall in a hurry,

Although Lu Bu is not afraid and will not be in danger,

But if things get to that point,

then the two sides are completely torn apart,

At least the Xue family is completely on the opposite side,

Even the relationship with the Pei family and the Liu family will also be affected,

Although Lu Bu is not afraid of these,

But the ripple effects he set off weren't what he wanted.

After stabilizing and delaying Xue Gui and the others,

Although Pei Ji's appearance was unexpected,

But it's also reasonable,

Lu Bu originally thought that Pei Ji would hide and not appear,

Whether he guessed Lu Bu's identity or not,

Under the circumstances,

His stealth behind the scenes is tantamount to having more initiative,

However, the other party appeared directly with an official identity,

The moment Lu Bu saw him,

was vaguely aware of its purpose,

Pei Ji's performance after he arrived,

This is also more clearly indicated.

Lu Bu watched coldly at that time,

is also observing,

Observe not only who is acting on both sides,

It is also necessary to correspond to the information that has been seen through the situation at that time.

to speculate on some of the personalities of the two of them,

This is Lu Bu's first temptation,

Neither party actually earned,

But they know a lot about each other.

The second temptation was after Zhang Yan's arrival,

Lu Bu reprimanded Zhang Yan,

In fact, he used those words to beat Pei Ji and Xue Gui,

In the process,

Lu Bu basically had enough information.

As for announcing the decision in public and punishing those soldiers headed by Li Shan,

is Lu Bu's third temptation and deterrence,

Borrow this dismount,

probed the other party's bottom line,

It also made Lu Bu more confident in the achievement of the purpose of this trip.

And then, when you're back here,

Lu Bu continued to oppress the three of them with his previous might,

Pei Ji or Pei family,

Sure enough, it became a breakthrough,

And Pei Ji finally represented the entire Pei family,

completely fell to Lu Bu's side,

It was a real bonus.

After Lu Bu subdued the Pei family,

The Liu family also raised the white flag naturally,

As for the Xue family in the general trend,

Nature can only follow the trend,

In this way, the three families in the east of the river were completely subdued,

And there is the deterrence that Lu Bu had before,

At least for a short period of time,

There will be no repetition of these three families.

Zhang Ji clenched his hands into fists,

Stood up and said to Lu Bu:

"Congratulations to my lord!"

Zhang Yan and Lou Gui also hurriedly got up to congratulate.

Lu Bu smiled with spring on his face,

opened his mouth to Pei Ji and the others:

"Let me introduce a few people, the person at the head is Zhang Yan, so there is no need to say more. The second is named Zhang Ji, whose name is Derong. The third is named Lou Gui, the word Zibo. Zhang Ji and Lou Gui are also newly commissioned. Ladies and gentlemen, you will have to be closer and closer in the future. ”

A few people hurriedly saluted one by one.

Lu Bu continued:

"Pei Ji, you will continue to hold the position of this Yu Ling in the future, and I will not interfere in any way. Also, I am very happy about your family's contribution, as for the things you mentioned before, there is no need, just settle those 300 people well, don't chill the hearts of the soldiers. But there is one thing, I promised the people on the street before, do you hear me? ”

Pei Ji's face showed joy,

Hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"My lord, I will definitely live up to the trust!"

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction,

Then he spoke:

"Mr. Zhang Ji holds the position of county leader of Yulu County."

Zhang Ji hugged his fists and took his life,

looked up at Pei Ji,

The latter was nodding to him,

Zhang Ji also smiled and saluted.

Lu Bu then looked at Liu Quan and Xue Gui:

"Liu Quan and Xue Gui, the two of you will not be appointed for the time being, but I hope that you can coordinate the relationship within the family as soon as possible to ensure that there is no turmoil."

After a pause, Lu Bu glanced at everyone present and said:

"Although Yulu County is only a county, it is also very important for the entire situation in Guanzhong, I have confidence in you, and I hope you will not disappoint me."

When everyone heard this, their spirits were shocked,

Hurriedly got up and assured Lu Bu.

After a pause, Lu Bu continued:

"After the three of you go back, please also tell the elders of the clan that I, Lu Bu, will never treat my allies badly, please rest assured of this. The Zhong clan and the Du clan will rise in Guanzhong, this is my explanation to them, but this will not affect your three families. ”
