Chapter 169: A Family Member of Yuan Xi? Who is it?
After Lu Bu instructed Xian Yufu to do what he had to do, he then met Zhang He, who had become his captive.
However, after Lu Bu only met Zhang He to see what Zhang He looked like, he handed Zhang He over to his own soldiers and asked them to take good care of Zhang He.
When Lu Bu saw Zhang He, he did not surrender Zhang He and let him use it for his own use.
Because, Lu Bu knew that Zhang He was loyal to Yuan Shao, and it was not suitable to recruit Zhang He now.
If he surrendered Zhang He now, Zhang He's homeopathic defection to Lu Bu would not be obtained, and he would only get Zhang He's wanton insults.
Lu Bu will not ask for hardship.
It's better to take good care of Zhang He, and then recruit him when the time is right.
Because, as a great prince, Lu Bu needs to maintain his majesty.
If Zhang He was wantonly insulted by Zhang He when he surrendered, Lu Bu didn't know whether to kill Zhang He immediately to maintain his majesty as a great prince, or if nothing happened and Zhang He ruined his majesty in front of his own tent and martial arts!
Therefore, Lu Bu let his own soldiers take care of Zhang Hexian for the time being.
However, it was only because Zhang He was one of the five sons of Cao Wei who was famous in later generations.
As a general, Zhang He, his ability is on par with Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cao Bao, Zang Ba, and Hao Zhao, whom Lu Bu particularly values, and Lu Bu has the patience to make Zhang He loyal to him.
Otherwise, Lu Bu will make a statement to surrender Zhang He when he sees Zhang He's first face, if he really can't surrender Zhang He in the end, for such a person who toasts and doesn't eat and drink, Lu Bu will naturally give him a bright butcher's knife and let him go to hell.
Under their own surrender, those who do not take refuge in themselves will only end up with a dead end!
After seeing Zhang He, Lu Bu led the army to stay in Yuyang County, the county seat of Yuyang County, for two days, so that the army that had been following him for more than a month could have a good rest and nourish his spirit.
And, let them eat and drink well, as a reward for their hard work.
Early in the morning of the third day, Lu Bu united with tens of thousands of troops led by Cao Bao and Li Ru, and then marched westward together in a majestic manner, preparing to receive the other four counties of Youzhou.
Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuansu, and Lelang, which originally belonged to Youzhou, have been incorporated into the newly established Pingzhou, and now the territory of Youzhou is only the six counties occupied by Yuan Shao.
Among the six counties of Youzhou, Youbeiping County and Yuyang County have been occupied by themselves, and then the four counties of Guangyang County, Shanggu County, Dai County, and Zhuo County will be occupied, then Lu Bu will be able to occupy Youzhou.
Since the strength of these four counties is really small, at this time, there are also four generals Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, Xian Yuyin, and Tian Yu each led 5,000 soldiers to conquer them.
In the face of Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, these four counties will soon be occupied, and then become the counties under Lu Bu's rule.
The army of the Western Expedition led by Lu Bu now is naturally heading towards Jixian County, the state seat of Youzhou.
Jixian County, that is, where the imperial capital of later generations is located, Beijing!
Ji County, located under the rule of Guangyang County, is also the county seat of Guangyang County.
When LΓΌ Bu led the army from Yuyang County into Guangyang County, and then came to Jixian County, which was both the county seat of Guangyang County and the seat of Youzhou Prefecture, Jixian County had been occupied by Pei Yuanshao, who led 5,000 soldiers to conquer Guangyang County.
In Jixian County, Lu Bu led a group of civil and military officers and met Pei Yuanshao.
Pei Yuanshao was originally one of the three leaders of the pirates on Yuzhou Island.
When Lu Bu led the remnants of the defeated army to cross the sea to the land of Sanhan, passing by Yuzhou Island, Pei Yuanshao, Liaohua and Zhoucang, the three major pirate leaders of Yuzhou Island, also took refuge in himself, followed him to the land of Sanhan, and then established Pingzhou, and now he has conquered Youzhou, making great contributions.
Because of this, Pei Yuanshao has changed from one of the pirate leaders of Yuzhou Island to now a lieutenant general under Lu Bu's account, in charge of soldiers and horses, and is valued by Lu Bu.
Pei Yuanshao was very excited when he saw Lu Bu, the person he admired the most.
Taking refuge in Lu Bu is the most correct thing he has done.
Because, after taking refuge in Lu Bu, he was valued by Lu Bu, and now he has become a lieutenant general under Lu Bu's account, and he can be in charge of soldiers and horses, so that he has a decent identity from now on.
Moreover, Lu Bu values him, and Lu Bu is also worthy of being a master of troubled times, which is worthy of Pei Yuanshao to follow with his life and even his own life!
"Haha...... Yuan Shao, hard work! As for your merits, wait for Benhou to take over Youzhou, and then discuss the merits and rewards together! Lu Bu said loudly to Pei Yuanshao.
"Thank you, Lord! It is an honor to do things for the Lord! Pei Yuanshao hurriedly replied.
"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded.
Then, he talked to Pei Yuanshao about his military conquest of Guangyang County.
Guangyang County is not big, only four or five counties, plus Guangyang County is adjacent to Yuyang County, so that the five thousand soldiers led by Pei Yuanshao quickly rushed from Yuyang County to Guangyang County.
Now, the entire Guangyang County has been occupied by 5,000 soldiers led by Pei Yuanshao.
So that Lu Bu has now obtained the land of Youzhou County.
Of the six counties in Youzhou, Lu Bu has already occupied half of them.
made Lu Bu very excited, and then naturally praised Pei Yuanshao.
Lu Bu's praise made Pei Yuanshao, a man, blush embarrassedly.
Only then did Lu Bu stop.
At this time, Pei Yuanshao, who suddenly remembered something, hurriedly restored himself to his normal expression.
Then, Pei Yuanshao reported to Lu Buyu: "My lord, when the last general broke through Jixian County, he also captured a family member brought by Yuan Xi's kid to Youzhou!" β
"Oh?" Hearing Pei Yuanshao's announcement, Lu Bu was immediately interested.
Then, Lu Bu asked Pei Yuanshao to lead the way, planning to meet a family member brought by Yuan Xi to Youzhou.
At the same time, it made Lu Bu even more disdainful of Yuan Xi's kid.
Sitting in Youzhou, he even brought one of his family members over, which shows Yuan Xi's incompetence and absurdity!
Since Yuan Xi values this family member who has been captured by Pei Yuanshao so much, then Lu Bu naturally wants to take a look.
Look at whether this Yuan Xi's family is male or female, what magic attracts Yuan Xi?
Under the leadership of Pei Yuanshao, Lu Bu came to the largest mansion in Jixian County, which is also the seat of Youzhou Prefecture.
Looking at the magnificent and huge mansion in front of him, Lu Bu's eyes immediately lit up.
Because, Lu Bu planned to move the Wenhou Mansion from Xiangping, Liaodong, here.
Since he is now almost completely in Youzhou, Lu Bu naturally wants to move the political center to the west, so that it will be more convenient to lead the army south to deal with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.
What's more, Jixian County is a treasure land of feng shui, and it is the most suitable to be the political center of its own power.
And this mansion in front of him made Lu Bu feel very satisfied, and it could be used as his Wenhou Mansion.
At that time, when the Wenhou Mansion moved to this mansion, the front yard would work, and the backyard would allow his wife, concubines, children and himself to live!
Lu Bu stopped and admired this mansion for a while, and then entered this mansion under the leadership of Pei Yuanshao to meet one of Yuan Xi's family members.
