Chapter 39: Homecoming
Lu Bu knew that Liu Yi was a brave and resourceful general, and when he led his troops to fight, he knew how to use stratagems to win the final victory of the war with very few losses from his own soldiers!
What's more, when Lu Bu went on a northern expedition to Gongsun Du's territory in the future, Liu Yi was an extremely important general under Gongsun Du's account, and the role he could play at that time can be imagined!
Whether it is for Liu Yi's talent or for the Northern Expedition in the future, it is impossible for Lu Bu to let Liu Yi go, let him surrender to him, and serve himself from now on!
"General Liu, now that you know the personality of Gongsun Du, the object of your allegiance, it is better to abandon the darkness and surrender to Benhou, who promises you that he will reuse it for you in the future and not bury your talents! Of course, Benhou is like Gongsun Du, the life of his family must be the most important, but this is also human nature! However, Ben Hou will not be like Gongsun Du's old man, even if the martial arts under the account can no longer be loyal to him, Ben Hou will not slander the meritorious people under the account so much, and make them infamous! Lu Bu persuaded Liu Yi to surrender.
Although Lu Bu's tone of surrender was very sincere, Liu Yi, who was already sad, still did not surrender to Lu Bu.
After that, Lu Bu said a lot of words to him about surrender, but in the end, it didn't help, which made Lu Bu frown and feel angry!
"Ben Hou gives you three days to think about it, if you still can't think of it and don't want to surrender Ben Hou, then you can commit suicide yourself! At the very least, you can leave a whole corpse! However, if you die, in order to avoid trouble in the future, someone will seek revenge for you, and the outcome of your family after your death can be imagined...... Of course, if you figure it out within these three days, the promise that Ben Hou said to you before will be the same! After speaking, Lu Bu didn't care about Liu Yi's reaction after hearing this, so he turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Lu Bu is a prince, not a saint, plus Liu Yi and Lu Bu have confronted each other, the two sides belong to two camps, if Liu Yi does not want to surrender to him, Lu Bu cannot keep Liu Yi locked up and waste food, or let Liu Yi let him defect to the enemy forces in the future and be an enemy with himself again, after all, Liu Yi is not Li Ru, he has worked with Lu Bu, and there is this love to check and balance!
If Li Ru was unwilling to surrender to Lu Bu at the beginning, Lu Bu would also let him be a rich man and live a good life without worrying about food and clothing!
If Liu Yi is dead, it is even more impossible for Liu Yi's family to exist in this world!
Although Lu Bu was not afraid that his family would seek revenge on himself for the sake of the dead Liu Yi in the future, Lu Bu didn't want any trouble, not to mention that there was a one-in-thousandth chance that this trouble would cause unbearable harm to himself!
Lu Bu was worried that they would not be able to deal with him, so he shifted his target, and then sought revenge on his family!
Lu Bu is not Liu Bei's wife, it is common to lose his wife and children, and he doesn't care much!
If something happens to his family, this is not what Lu Bu wants to see, and Lu Bu will not be able to accept it!
……
Consolidating the newly occupied Chenhan, and receiving a huge amount of compensation from Gongsun Du, Lu Bu has nothing to do in Chenhan, plus he hasn't seen his wife and daughter for a long time, and Lu Bu, who thinks about them, has long wanted to run back to see them.
What's more, his wife Yan Yao is now pregnant, and with Lu Bu's second child, Lu Bu naturally wants to go back and accompany her well, so that she can raise the fetus with peace of mind.
So, Lu Bu left Zhang Liao as the main general, supplemented by Li Ru's eldest brother Han Zhi, and led 2,000 soldiers plus 2,000 Chen Han soldiers, a total of 4,000 troops, echoing Hao Zhao stationed in Qingcheng, and jointly guarding Chen Han.
After all, Chenhan's geographical location is poor, close to the hostile forces Gongsun Du and the alien Goguryeo, and I don't know when they will go south to offend Chenhan's territory, which already belongs to Lu Bu!
After arranging the generals and soldiers who guarded Chenhan, Lu Bu took the generals, the army, Chen Gong, the left army division, and the newly recruited right army division Li Ru and others who had no tasks for the time being, and headed towards Ma Han's Xingba City.
Of course, there are also Liu Yi's family together!
For the sake of his family, and at the same time, he felt that surrendering to Lu Bu, who was brave and resourceful, and had clever means, was not a burial for him, and in three days, Liu Yi had already figured it out, that is, to work for Lu Bu from now on.
However, surrendering to Lu Bu, Liu Yi had a request, that is, when Lu Bu was dealing with Gongsun Du, Liu Yi said that he would not participate!
In the future, when the Northern Expedition dealt with Gongsun Du, although it was a pity that Lu Bu felt that Liu Yi was missing this great help, Lu Bu saw that Liu Yi had such a loyal disposition to the old master, which made Lu Bu appreciate it very much.
Because, when Lu Bu completely subdued Liu Yi, Lu Bu believed that Liu Yi would definitely treat himself so loyally!
……
After hurrying all the way, Lu Bu and the others finally returned to Xingba City.
After Lu Bu asked the three generals Gao Shun, Cao Bao, and Zang Ba to arrange the army, and asked Chen Qun, who was stationed in Xingba City, to prepare a mansion for Li Ru's family and Liu Yi's family to live in, and then under the protection of Zhou Cang and other personal soldiers, Lu Bu went to his mansion.
Lu Bu's mansion is naturally the original palace of Ma Han, the largest and most gorgeous building in Xingba City, and at the same time, it is also the place where Lu Bu works.
Lu Bu named this mansion 'Wenhou Mansion'!
Before he came to Wenhou Mansion, Lu Bu saw a large group of people standing at the gate from a distance, waiting for his return.
The four people led by Lu Bu were naturally Lu Bu's wives and concubines Yan Yao, Diao Chan, Cao Que'er, and daughter Lu Lingqi, which made Lu Bu very moved when he saw them.
So, Lu Bu sped up.
When they saw Lu Bu, who they hadn't seen for a long time, Yan Yao and Diao Chan had relatively calm personalities, although they were very excited now, but now they were in full view, and they just looked at Lu Bu gently, and then called out to Lu Bu softly: "Husband!" ”
And Cao Qi'er and Lu Lingqi's two daughters, perhaps because they were still young, hurriedly rushed towards Lu Bu the moment they saw Lu Bu, and at the same time shouted in their mouths: "Husband (Daddy), are you back?!" ”
"Hmm!" Lu Bu smiled and nodded to them, and then, his eyes looked at Yan Yao gently, and then at her belly, which had not changed much, but had a new life.
It was Lu Bu's second child, which made Lu Bu's eyes instantly full of love.
Being looked at like this by Lu Bu in front of everyone's eyes made Yan Yao's face suddenly blush.
However, Yan Yao was also very happy at this time, remembering that the indulgence with Lu Bu on Yuzhou Island a month ago allowed her to have a second child, touched her belly, and felt the new life inside, like Lu Bu at a glance, her eyes were instantly full of love!
"Huh!" Lu Bu knew that Yan Yao's face had always been relatively thin, so he looked away, and then looked at the maids and guards in the mansion behind them, and the happy Lu Bu said aloud to them: "Benhou is happy today, and each person will be rewarded with a gold!" Including Benhou's three hundred personal soldiers! Go and get the reward with the housekeeper in the mansion yourself! ”
After speaking, Lu Bu walked into the Wenhou Mansion with his three wives and concubines and daughter Lu Lingqi amid the excited thanks of a group of servants, guards, and personal soldiers.
