Chapter 418: Return to Jizhou
Chang'an, Taiwei's Mansion.
Taiwei, together with Sikong and Situ, is tied for the three dukes, and it is an official position with real power. Among them, Situ is in charge of civil affairs, Sikong is in charge of supervision, and Taiwei is in charge of military affairs, and they all have the right to open the government, and they can recruit strategists and staff to form their own teams. Today's Taiwei is Li Ru, one of the former Nine Qings.
With Li Ru's means, Dong Huang was easily coaxed around. With Dong Huang's nod, Li Ru easily promoted his official position to a lieutenant and was in charge of the country's military.
In the study, a soldier stood respectfully, reporting the news about Wang Lei, his tone was trembling, and he said slowly: "Captain, the big and small corners of Chang'an City have been searched, and Chang'an has almost turned upside down, and no trace of Wang Lei has been found. β
Li Ru flicked his sleeves and said categorically: "Impossible, Wang Lei and Lu Bu must be in the city." β
"Could it be that the two of them have already left Chang'an?"
The soldier guessed cautiously with a serious expression.
"Impossible!" Li Ru snorted and said solemnly: "As soon as the robbery of the Dharma Field happened, I ordered the Quartet City Gate to strengthen its vigilance. So far, no suspicious characters have been found, and Wang Lei is still in Chang'an. Increase your strength and be sure to search Wang Lei out. β
The soldier said respectfully: "Obey the order!" β
"Report!"
Outside the room, Niu Suke's voice was heard.
Li Ru commanded: "Come in!" β
The door creaked open, the soldier stepped back respectfully, and Niu Fu strode in.
Niu Fu came to Li Ru's side, sat down after saluting, and said in a deep voice: "I just got the news, Wang Lei and Lu Bu have left Chang'an, and after the two of them left the Tiger Prison Pass, they went north from Hanoi County and entered Jizhou from Dangyin County. Wang Lei and Lu Bu were silent, and they didn't leak the slightest rumor at all. The reason why we got the news was because of the news released by Wang Lei after entering Jizhou, so we could find out. β
"What?"
Li Ru stood up with a surprised look in his eyes.
For a long time, Li Ru thought that Wang Lei hid in the city and did not leave. Unexpectedly, Wang Lei escaped. Li Ru looked surprised and asked, "Have you ever found out, how did Wang Lei escape from Chang'an?" β
Niu Fu shook his head and said, "No news!" β
Li Ru said: "What the hell is going on? How could Wang Lei leave quietly? Even if Li Ru wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out what was going on, and he couldn't guess that Yang Biao would help. A helpless look appeared on Li Ru's face, and he said, "Since Wang Lei has escaped, there is no need to chase after him." Shift the focus to our affairs, and from now on, adjust the officials in Luoyang, Chang'an, and even the prefectures, and gradually replace everyone with our descendants. β
"Yes!"
Niu Fu nodded in response before bowing and retreating.
β¦β¦
Runan, Taishou House.
After listening to the soldiers' report, Liu Bei learned that Wang Lei had left Chang'an safely, he gritted his teeth in anger, and said hatefully: "After Wang Lei killed Dong Zhuo, he escaped smoothly, this Li Ru is really a waste." If you control the power of a country, you can't even catch a single person. If it was me, I would have caught Wang Lei earlier, and then dismantled eight pieces. β
Zhang Fei clenched his fists and said angrily: "Big brother, if Wang Lei is dead, we will have no chance to take revenge with our own hands." Wang Lei escaped, and in the future, we will kill Wang Lei with our own hands. β
Guan Yu said: "The current goal has to be placed on Yuzhou, and Yuzhou should be unified as soon as possible." β
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Yun Chang is right, our strength is insufficient, and if we want to be distracted and do other things, it will be difficult to succeed." It is necessary to master Yuzhou first, and then develop further. With a turn of his eyes, Liu Bei looked at Chen Zhi and asked, "Uncle Zhi, how is the situation of the newly recruited soldiers now?" β
Chen Zhi replied: "Back to my lord, this winter, I recruited another 3,000 recruits. After training, at the beginning of spring next year, they can go to the battlefield again. β
"Okay, increase your training! Train new recruits as much as possible to enhance combat effectiveness. β
Liu Bei's eyes were excited, looking forward to the battle after the beginning of spring.
β¦β¦
Yanzhou!
Thorn Mansion, study.
Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai's report on the situation, and Xi Zhicai said unhurriedly: "Lord, the threat posed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thief has disappeared. Yanzhou has temporarily returned to calm, but he believes that Qingzhou must be taken as soon as possible to solve the troubles. β
Cao Cao said: "Yanzhou still has the forces left by Liu Dai, these people don't solve it, there will be troubles!" β
"The aftermath is there, but it's not the main problem."
Xi Zhicai's eyes were calm, and he said unhurriedly: "According to the latest news, Wang Lei and Lu Bu teamed up to kill Dong Zhuo and escaped from Chang'an. After Wang Lei returned to Jizhou, it is estimated that Wang Lei will definitely start to unify Jizhou. Once Wang Lei pacified the entire Jizhou, if the lord had not yet developed, he would face a great threat. Time waits for no one, and there are problems that must be overcome. For the lord, the most lacking thing is time, and all time must be sought. β
After Cao Cao listened, he nodded in agreement with Xi Zhicai's opinion. After a pause, Cao Cao said: "Well, from now on, I am going to plan for the attack on Qingzhou, and this matter should be sooner rather than later." β
"The lord is wise!"
Xi Zhicai looked excited, and his eyes were looking forward to it.
β¦β¦
Bohai County, Taishou Mansion.
Yuan Shao sat in the hall, listening to Xu You's report.
Xu You said: "Lord, the news came that Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Lei and Lu Bu, and now, Lu Bu and Wang Lei escaped from Chang'an and have returned to Jizhou. Wang Lei returned, and the next target is probably us. β
Yuan Shao had a cold face and said: "Wang Lei went to Chang'an, but he was not killed, his luck is really good." It's a pity that Yuan Hong went to Nanyang County and didn't kill Wang Lei, but was killed. Yuan Shu, a fool, does not help his own family, but helps outsiders. β
Anger surged on Yuan Shao's face, and he slapped the table in anger.
Xu You said: "The lord has made a career, and he has won the support of everyone in the Yuan family. Yuan Shu was jealous of the lord, so it was naturally impossible to help the lord, which was normal and expected. β
"Hmph, short-sighted!"
Yuan Shao snorted, a look of disdain.
Xu You's expression was solemn, and he said: "Lord, Wang Lei has returned to Ye County, and next, we will face Wang Lei again." This time, if Wang Lei cannot be defeated again, I am afraid that the morale of the army and the people will be shaken. β
Yuan Shao said: "Ziyuan, don't you have confidence in me? β
Xu You smiled and said: "The lord will win!" β
"Let's go down and prepare!" Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves, and Xu Yu respectfully retreated.
β¦β¦
Ye County, outside the city.
On the official road, there is a team of people waiting eagerly. Among this team, the leaders are Old Man Du, Wang Yue and Tong Yuan. Behind the three of them, there were Guo Jia, Du Ji, Jia Xu and others, and even Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan and others who came before also came to greet them, plus Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others, there were many people, and it was spectacular.
The old man was on crutches, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "The tiger head returned to Jizhou this time, and finally the dragon went out of the sea, and the dinosaur ascended to heaven, and he could get rid of the danger." In these days in Chang'an, the old man has been up and down in his heart, and now he can finally rest assured. β
Tong Yuan said disdainfully: "Before I got the news of the tiger head, I don't know who said that he was not worried at all." β
Wang Yue said: "I also heard it, someone patted his chest and said it. β
The old man snorted and said disdainfully: "What do you know, before I got the news, I said this to reassure the officials in Jizhou, and let everyone perform their duties, so as not to disturb people's hearts." Now, Hutou has returned to Jizhou safely, so I don't have to worry about this old man, I can naturally speak at will. β
The old man threw two white eyes, and Wang Yue and Tong Yuan were so angry that they blew their beards and glared.
"I saw the horse team, and I'm back!"
Suddenly, in the crowd, a loud cheer rang out.
"It's back, it's back!"
The voices rang out one after another.
In the crowd, they looked up one by one, their eyes excited. Whether they are officials or not, they all have a backbone, that is Wang Lei.
Wang Lei returned to Ye County, and all the crises passed.
"Da! Da!! β
The sound of horses' hooves came, and the team hurried quickly and went straight to the county seat of Ye County.
Wang Lei's heart was agitated, after leaving Ye County for such a long time, there were countless worries in his heart, and he was naturally happy to see people coming to greet him. He took the lead, came to the front of the greeting team, turned over and dismounted, saluted the old man, Tong Yuan and Wang Yue, and then looked at the rest of the people, and said loudly: "Everyone came to greet him, Wang Lei is grateful, thank you." β
In a word, the scene burst into cheers.
After a short time, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and the rest of his entourage also followed.
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, standing at Wang Lei's outstretched hand.
Wang Lei waved his hand and introduced: "Everyone, this is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, and you all have an impression. β
Lu Bu saluted respectfully and retreated back to the team, very respectful.
Wang Lei briefly introduced Huang Zhong again, let the people under his command know that there was Huang Zhong, and after a simple conversation, Wang Lei led the team towards the city. Returning to the State Pastoral Mansion, Wang Lei asked Lu Bu to arrange a residence, not far from the State Pastoral Mansion. Then, Wang Lei arranged a residence for Huang Zhong's family, which was also not far from the state governor's mansion.
After settling Huang Zhong and Lu Bu, Wang Lei returned to the house.
As soon as I came to the backyard, in the yard, bursts of hearty laughter came out.
Walking in, Wang Lei raised his eyebrows. There are many women in the courtyard, including Wang Lei's fiancΓ©e Han Mengyu, as well as two sisters, Guo Yu and Queen Guo, in addition to these three, there are two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who moved from Jiangdong to Jizhou. Combined, these people are already five women. As the saying goes, three women play a play, and five girls get together, which is very lively.
Wang Lei came to several people, greeted a few people, and when he spoke, it was quite unnatural.
These people, Han Mengyu, Queen Guo and Guo Yu, are very familiar. But Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Wang Lei didn't have much contact, but fortunately, Han Mengyu, Guo Yu and Queen Guo interjected from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and there were no unpleasant scenes.
chatted with a few girls, and Wang Lei went back to rest. After a night's rest, early the next morning, Wang Lei summoned his people to the state governor's mansion and began to deliberate.
ps: Just a change.,Forgive me.,It's not in a state at all.,Rotten state! ~
