Recently, Yuan Shao's life has not been easy at all, just after the New Year, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu sent troops at the same time.

Yuan Shao was worried and panicked day and night, and the civil and military forces in Jizhou were also in chaos, like ants on a hot pot, the situation was extremely tight, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro was also ready to make a comeback.

If there is no strong reinforcement to help, Yuan Shao may fall into an embattled danger at any time, and the only foreign aid that can be relied on at this time is naturally Lu Zhuo.

In Yuan Shao's view, this time Lu Zhuo must repay the favor and take the initiative to send troops to relieve the difficulties of Jizhou, but he sent several messengers to send envoys, but there was no news.

Yuan Shao was helpless, and became more and more depressed, so he had to send Fengji to Xuzhou again.

When he came to Xuzhou, he heard that Lu Zhuo was not in Pengcheng, Kuai Yue frowned, and couldn't help but sigh, and waited for a while in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion. ”

Zhang Zhao was not in a hurry, calm and calm, while making tea, while looking at Kuai Yue, Chen Deng squinted his eyes and shook his head and replied, "It's really not a coincidence that Brother Yidu came, yesterday, my father-in-law went out to inspect, you know, now Xuzhou is not stable, Qingzhou is newly determined, all kinds of things are piled up, my lord bows and works hard and is uncertain, if you say where did you go?" If we don't hide it, we don't know. ”

"This ......"

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Yuanlong, aren't you joking with me, this is just over the New Year, and besides, General Lu's newlywed Yan'er, how can he be in such a hurry?"

Kuai Yue's trip, like Feng Ji, was also to move rescue troops, hoping that Lu Zhuo could send troops to relieve Jingxiang's predicament.

Since Sun Jian sent out the army, Jing Xiang has suffered setbacks again and again, and the war is not only stalemate, but also more and more passive, at this moment, Liu Biao is sick and bedridden, which is really a disaster, and Jingzhou is in a hurry.

Kuai Yue, as Liu Biao's right-hand man, was far-sighted and wise, and turned his attention to Xuzhou in a timely and decisive manner, as early as a year ago, he sent someone to send a letter to Lu Zhuo.

Chen Deng smiled and said, "Different degrees, my father-in-law can't be idle for a day, he is completely different from Liu Jingsheng." Don't worry, I'll send someone to find the lord immediately, you wait patiently here for three or five days, and the younger brother can also ask for advice, don't tell you, the different talents, the younger brother has admired it for a long time. ”

Chen Deng deliberately bypassed the topic, talked about it, and chatted with Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue became more and more anxious in his heart, but he had no choice but to endure his temperament and sit with him.

Who knows, not long after, a doorman ran in and came to Zhang Zhao's approach, and the doorman leaned into Zhang Zhao's ear and whispered, "My lord, Jizhou Fengji is also here, and he is waiting outside the door at the moment." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Zhao was slightly stunned, then twisted his hair and smiled, and ordered to the doorman, "Go, let Mr. Feng Ji come in, don't wait slowly." ”

Zhang Zhao did not hide from Kuai Yue, deliberately raised his voice, Kuai Yue heard Feng Ji's name, his heart was shocked, and he became more and more worried, and said in his heart, "This Feng Ji must also come to ask for help, if so, what should I do, if Lu Zhuo is invited away by him, will I live up to the trust of the lord on this trip." ”

Kuai Yue made up his mind, no matter what, he must not let Feng Ji 'succeed', when Feng Ji came to the living room, he saw that Kuai Yue was also here, and immediately stood in front of the door, neither entering nor retreating.

Chen Deng turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao, signaled with his eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and they both thought of going together.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou have pinned their hopes on Lu Zhuo, and the two families will inevitably show enough sincerity in order to compete, so that Zhang Zhao and Chen Deng naturally have no reason to worry, on the contrary, they can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and rest assured that they can boldly 'sit on the ground and start the price'.

Originally, Feng Ji and Kuai Yue should not have been allowed to meet, but Zhang Zhao just let the two meet, so Feng Ji and Kuai Yue must have been more panicked and anxious in their hearts, guarding each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more embarrassing.

At noon, Zhang Zhao proposed to invite the two to have a drink, but both of them politely declined, Feng Ji and Kuai Yue, guarding each other, had no interest in even talking, let alone eating wine and feasting.

After leaving the governor's mansion, Feng Ji immediately went to Zhang Zhao's mansion, and Kuai Yue also came to visit Chen Deng's father and son with generous gifts, and both of them looked forward to inviting reinforcements to their side.

Chen Deng returned to the mansion, and while dealing with Kuai Yue, he secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to Lu Zhuo, so that Lu Zhuo didn't have to come back in a hurry, and it was best to dry the two of them well.

Lu Zhuo is busy in Jiaodong to rectify the shady curtain of official salt, and when he receives the news from Chen Deng, he has no plans to send troops for the time being, even if he is a hardcore ally with Yuan Shao, it is impossible for Lu Zhuo to be 'on call', Jizhou is a muddy water, there are not enough interests, and Lu Zhuo can't take people to die.

Zhang Zhao and Kuai Yue were both patient, while appeasing, while perfunctory, Lu Zhuo did not come back for a long time, but Feng Ji and Kuai Yue were in a hurry, and the two had to write to their respective lords.

Yuan Shao's letter was the most timely: "At all costs, we must let Lu Zhuo send troops quickly." ”

Liu Biao's side, the situation is also very bad, although he is an ally with Yuan Shao, but this will be kung fu, and they can only sweep the snow in front of their own doors, Liu Biao received a letter, and the next day he sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, to show his sincerity.

For two days in a row, the small yellow village where Da Zhuang is located is surprisingly lively, all the officials in the neighboring cities and counties, regardless of size, regardless of high or low, all rushed here, there are county guards, county officials, salt offices, and Li Zheng Pavilion chiefs from all over the country...... It is more lively than visiting the temple fair during the New Year's Festival.

Lu Zhuo worked on the spot in the fishing village, and his food and accommodation were also here, there were hundreds of these large and small officials, and after seeing Lu Zhuo, they were all frightened and panicked, and when they heard that Lu Zhuo was going to rectify the official salt, nine out of ten people had a cold breath on their backbones.

Zhuge Jin entered the house and said to Lu Zhuo, "Lord, everyone has arrived, and all the officials in the entire Jiaodong County who are related to official salt have arrived, a total of 350 people." ”

Lu Zhuo nodded, "In this way, after ten days, we will discuss the matter again, these ten days of hard work, food, clothing, housing and transportation, let them solve it by themselves, if there are people who are willing to vacate the room for them to eat and live, it is best to do it, otherwise, ask for more blessings." ”

Lu Zhuo hated that iron could not be made of steel, and then shook his head and sighed in disappointment, "If you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." ”

These officials, never dreamed that Lu Zhuo called them from afar, and actually wanted everyone to come to the fishing village to 'experience life'!
