The Wudang Flying Army has been subdued...

Lü Bu handed him over to the vultures, who led them. Although his martial arts skills are not high, and he does not know how to fight, his prestige in the Wudang Fei Army is very high, and the soldiers are willing to obey his command.

The vulture bone was also very grateful to Lu Bu and agreed to train as a good student.

The next day at noon.

Lu Bu receives a message from the Shadow.

After Liu Bei and Pang Tong's tens of thousands of troops were defeated by Han Xin at Jiange Pass, they returned to Yangping Pass along the Shu Road. However, he didn't meet Cao Ren and went directly to Xiliang.

"Liu Bei..."

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said to Xu Shu: "He really doesn't give up." ”

"Xiliang is the world of Qianghu. Ma Chao is inextricably linked with Qianghu, and is called General Tianwei by Qianghu. With Ma Chao's help, Liu Bei will soon be able to occupy Xiliang. Xu Shu smiled: "This time Cao Cao should have a headache..." ”

"This also helped us indirectly."

Lu Bu said: "After a while, after dealing with the affairs of Yizhou, I will return to the Central Plains." Prepare for the great event of unifying the world. It would be better for Liu Bei and Cao Cao to fight, so that it would be easier for me to dominate the world. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Shu also seemed to see a bright future, and laughed unconsciously.

"Yuan Zhi, who do you think Yizhou should hand over?" Lu Bu looked outside the study and saw that no one asked.

"The lord is talking about the position of the assassin? Or is it the position of the Grand Governor? Xu Shu asked.

"Of course, it's the position of Grand Governor. I remember when I occupied Xuzhou, I said that as long as the army is not chaotic, the world will not be chaotic. Therefore, the position of Metropolitan Governor must be carefully selected. As for the history of Yizhou's assassination, it is up to the officials to decide. ”

Regarding the position of the Grand Governor, Xu Shu really didn't think about it seriously.

"What does the lord think, how is General Zhang Ren?"

"Zhang Ren? Do you think it's okay? ”

Xu Shu said: "After the observation in the past few months, the minister feels that General Zhang Ren is truly submissive to the lord, and has also made a lot of military exploits, and he is the general of Shuzhong, and he is the governor of Yizhou, which is reasonable and can also show the magnanimity of the lord." ”

"Don't bring me a top hat. I am not generous, nor do I think Zhang Ren is suitable to serve as the governor of Yizhou. Lu Bu thought for a while and said: "Zhang Ren has made a lot of contributions, but he first joined Liu Zhang, then Liu Bei, and then was surrendered by Han Xin. Like such a half-hearted general, do I dare to hand over Yizhou to him? In case he is persuaded by Liu Bei again, won't my efforts for more than a year be in vain? Sir, don't forget, Liu Bei went to Xiliang, he will soon be able to occupy Xiliang, and at that time, Zhang Ren will take refuge in Liu Bei, and Liu Bei will have the land of two states in the blink of an eye... Who can bear the consequences? ”

"What the lord said..."

Xu Shu thought about it carefully, and also felt that Zhang Ren was inappropriate.

"You can only choose from veterans, such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xiang Yu, Mu Guiying... Only by handing Yizhou into their hands can I rest assured. Lu Bu said.

"The people the lord said are not suitable, right? General Zhang Liao and General Gao Shun are the most trustworthy, but they have followed the lord for many years and have been accustomed to being in the Central Plains, and they seem to be a little unkind when they are transferred to Sichuan and Shu all of a sudden. General Xiang is a general who has won all battles, and it is too condescending to be a metropolitan governor. Mu Guiying's mother, let alone that, is the lord willing to do it? ”

"yes..."

Lu Bu was also a little distressed.

There are many talents under him, but it is really not easy to choose a suitable one with enough prestige.

"What does the lord think of General Wei Yan?"

"No way!"

"Why? The minister thinks that General Wei Yan is very suitable. ”

"No matter how suitable it is, it can't be." Lu Bu didn't say a reason, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said: "I think of a person who can serve as the governor of Yizhou!" ”

"Who?"

Lu Bu smiled and asked, "What do you think of Yue Fei?" ”

"Isn't he Fan Lihua's lieutenant? Although he has made some contributions, it is not enough to serve as the governor of Yizhou, right? I'm afraid that the generals of the court and the central government will not accept it. Especially Wei Yan. Xu Shu said bitterly: "Lord, the current situation is different from the past, you can't let whoever the lord likes be the governor." This will make a large number of generals red-eyed, and then cause immeasurable consequences. ”

"I understand what you're saying. However, how do you know that Yue Fei's merits are not enough to serve as the governor of Yizhou? When we were fighting against Liu Bei, he followed Fan Lihua to fight Yuan Shao and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops. Lu Bu thought for a while and said: "That's it, when we return to Yangzhou, we will also promote a group of meritorious generals, such as Wei Yan, Bai Qi, Qi Jiguang, etc., all of whom can be promoted to two or three levels, and guard the border." Give them some more money, and they will have nothing to say. ”

"Hehe... Well, since the lord has made up his mind, the minister can only support it. Xu Shu also said simply: "I'll repair a book, send someone to Shouchun, and transfer Yue Fei to Sichuan to serve." ”

"Hmm."

In fact, in Lu Bu's eyes, many generals have the intelligence of a metropolitan governor. Yue Fei is one, Qi Jiguang is one, Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun are all good, but Yue Fei is loyal and good at defending the city. With him guarding Yizhou, Lu Bu was very relieved. No matter when, even if all the territory in the Central Plains is lost, Lu Bu believes that Yue Fei is his last reliance.

The following month...

The troops of Li Jing, Han Xin, Yang Lin, Jiangpu, and Zhang Ren wantonly cleaned up the family in Yizhou, occupying more than 30 cities. From Mianzhu to Yongchang County and Shu County, there is no opposing force.

After that, the Meng Festival in the southern and central regions also handed over the table.

(Note: Meng Jie was Meng Huo's eldest brother and has always advocated peace.) And before Meng Shu's uprising, he had been in charge of the Southern Barbarians. ）

In addition to the families of Shu County and Yongchang County, the families of other counties also fled one after another, and Zang Ba's cavalry easily occupied all the cities from Chengdu to Nanzhong.

Since then, Yizhou has completely fallen into the hands of Lu Bu.

Late April.

Yue Fei was summoned to arrive in Chengdu.

Lü Bu summoned him and instructed him about taking over Yizhou.

"My lord."

In the study, Yue Fei was very excited when he saw Lu Bu.

"You didn't expect me to make you the Governor of Yizhou, right?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"Yes."

Yue Fei hugged his fists and said: "Although the last general has some merits, compared to General Xiang, General Zhang Liao, and General Gao Shun... Wait, it's still a long way off, but I never dare to hope for the position of Grand Governor. I didn't expect the lord... The last general can only do his best to repay the Lord's kindness. ”

Lu Budao: "The battle of Yizhou has lasted for more than a year. We have lost a large number of elites, even Xiang Yu's broken military camp and Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army have been lost here. Now Yizhou is in ruins, and whether you can get stability depends on you, the governor. You can't let me down. ”

"Yes."

Lu Bu took out two pieces of paper full of words, handed one to Yue Fei, and said, "This is my request to you." It is also what you will do immediately after you take over as the governor of Yizhou. ”
