In the brocade box, there is a seal carved by Lantian jade, which is brilliant and dazzling.

Lu Bu took it in his hand, looked at it over and over, and saw that the top of the seal was engraved with a dragon, and there were eight words at the bottom: 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity'!

Lu Bu said excitedly: "That's right, it's the jade seal of the country." ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Bian He mined jade, entered Jingshan, and saw a golden phoenix perched on the bluestone and chirped, Bian He broke the bluestone, obtained a piece of peerless jade, and presented it to the King of Chu. After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Meiyu fell into the hands of Qin Shi Huang, and Prime Minister Li Si personally wrote these eight words. It is listed as a jade seal of the country, and it wants to be passed on for hundreds of generations, thousands of generations, and thousands of generations.... ”

Lu Bu said, his eyes lit up, and he kept playing.

Nie Zheng arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the general." If you have the jade seal, you will win the world. It shows that the general is the destiny of heaven. ”

Lu Bu came back to his senses and put the jade seal on the desk. glanced at Nie Zheng and said: "If you get the jade seal, you may not be able to win the world, and if you don't have a jade seal, you may not be able to win the world." The two should not be confused. ”

Nie Zheng frowned slightly.

Lu Bu changed his words: "But... These treasures are the most important weapons of the country, and they are indeed worthy of collection. ”

In Lu Bu's eyes, the heirloom jade seal is just a collection!

Nie Zheng felt the urge to vomit blood. After he assassinated Yuan, he did have the intention of taking refuge in Lu Bu, thinking that if he offered the jade seal of the country, he would definitely be reused. I never thought that although the jade seal was expensive, it couldn't touch Lu Bu's heart.

"Nie Zhuangshi bravely broke through Shouchun, and assassinated Yuan Shu with only his own strength, which shows that he has great courage and superb swordsmanship, I just need a talent like Nie Zhuangshi, I don't know if Nie Zhuangshi is willing to go out?"

Just when Nie Zheng regretted not offering the jade seal to the other princes, Lu Bu threw an olive branch to him.

Nie Zheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The general has an order, how dare the grass people disobey?" ”

He walked to the middle of the hall and bowed to Lu Bu: "My subordinates meet the lord!" ”

"Hurry up, please."

Lu Bu stepped forward, helped Nie Zheng up, and said in his heart: "It's too easy to subdue Nie Zheng, and it basically doesn't take much to speak." ”

"The host defeated Cao Cao and captured Yangzhou, and was already the largest prince in the Central Plains. Nie Zheng wants to become an official, of course, he must choose the host. The so-called building near the water gets the moon first, and the host is picking up a big bargain. The system said.

"Haha... Yes, yes, it must be. Lu Bu was ecstatic in his heart.

Now he is different from when he first crossed, when there were no soldiers, no generals, no territory, and he was suppressed by Cao Yuan and Liu, but anyone with brains would not give up his life to take refuge. And now, the situation has changed, and those who want to take refuge in him have to work hard.

"My lord, do you have any official positions?" Nie Zheng asked weakly.

"How can you be such an official?" Lu Bu rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "Is there a lack of strings in the head, just surrendered to the official, and it is so direct." ”

Nie Zheng looked embarrassed.

Lu Bu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, with your ability, you will definitely be able to get a good official position." After stabilizing Yangzhou, I will personally arrange it for you. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

With Lu Bu's words, it was like taking a reassuring pill, and Nie Zheng was overjoyed.

As for Nie Zheng's appointment, Lu Bu already knew it, and was ready to set up a group of killers after stabilizing Yangzhou, and Nie Zheng would be responsible for training. This idea has been in his heart for a long time, and now it can finally be realized.

After Yuan Hong escaped, he went all the way north...

First, it was intercepted by Zang Ba, the chief soldier of Danyang County, and lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. Then he went to Jian'an County, fought a few more battles with Song Xian, and there were less than 4,000 Danyang soldiers left, and fled to the East China Sea in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao passed through the Lujiang River and Huiji and arrived at the border of Yanzhou.

Hearing that Chen Gong and Zhang Liao captured Yuzhang County with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, the angry Cao Cao marched eastward and fought a decisive battle with Chen Zhang.

The two had too few soldiers and horses to defeat Cao Cao, and in the middle of winter, they were defeated and returned to Shouchun.

During this period, Wei Xu, the general army of Lujiang County, raised the troops of Fanyang and recovered the other five counties of Lujiang County that were captured by Cao Cao. The soldiers and horses in the hands are distributed on the border of Lujiang County.

Shouchun City.

Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion.

After Chen Gong and Zhang Liao returned, they pleaded guilty to Lu Bu.

"Originally, Yuzhang County was in our hands, but Cao Cao personally led a large army to come, and Mr. Gongtai and I couldn't resist it, and lost most of the soldiers and horses, so we had to return to Shouchun."

"Please forgive the lord, we have not been able to make a contribution."

Chen Gong and Zhang Liao both felt very ashamed.

"Cao Cao is powerful, and you don't have too many soldiers and horses in your hands, so it's normal to be defeated." Lu Bu glanced at them and was not angry.

"Of the seven counties of Yangzhou, we occupy four, Cao Cao occupies three, and if we want to recover Yangzhou, we have to go through a hard battle." Chen Gong sighed.

Zhang Liao immediately stood up: "Please give me 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will definitely pacify Yangzhou in the shortest possible time." ”

"No need."

Lu Bu held a letter in his hand and said: "This is a letter I wrote to Cao Cao, using Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Xia Houen and other captured Cao generals in exchange for Wu County, Huiji County, Yuzhang County, and 40,000 stone grain and grass. I believe Cao Cao will definitely agree. ”

Chen Gong rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "Here is this trick again..." ”

Zhang Liao seemed to remember something, and arched his hand: "Lord, this time he fought with Cao Cao, he brought a very special army, and his combat effectiveness was very strong. ”

"A very special army? Is it the Tiger Guards? Lu Bu asked.

"Not the Tiger Guards. It was a chariot army, connected by iron locks, forming a battle formation, dividing the soldiers who surrounded us, and then shooting them with bows and arrows, which was very powerful. ”

Chen Gong also thought about it: "That's right, the combat effectiveness of this army is by no means weaker than that of the tiger and leopard cavalry!" ”

Hearing such an evaluation, Lu Bu couldn't help but wonder, is there such an army under Cao Cao? Is it the latest formation?

"Iron Chains... When I have the chance, I must see it. ”

Lu Bu shook the letter in his hand and said, "Cao Cao should know very well that if I send troops, he will not be able to hold Yangzhou." I am willing to exchange for captives, because I don't want to go on an expedition and waste money and food. ”

"Unless his iron lock battle formation can really destroy my main force, he will definitely agree."

On this issue, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao did not say much, whether it works or not, they must try to know. If you can capture Yangzhou without blood, it is better than an expedition of laborers.

Lü Bu called two Dragon Guard soldiers in, handed them the letter, and ordered the horses to be whipped and sent to Yanzhou.

At noon, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao returned to the barracks, and when they passed by the street, they found that there was no one on the street, which was very strange. There were notices at the gates of the city that the fields were divided and the grain was divided, and no people went to see them.

This is the first time this has happened.

After the two discussed, they hurriedly returned to the Assassin's Mansion...
