Yizhou Xindu stayed behind Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's brothers to surrender to Cao Cao, and handed over Xindu, Xu Huang hurriedly stepped forward, supported the two of them with both hands, showed an extremely excited look on his face, and said happily: "I have admired the names of the two generals for a long time, and I have been recommended by Yuan Gong. ”

Then he asked suspiciously: "Why did you only see the two generals, but you didn't see the people left behind?" ”

The Lu brothers bowed down and reported: "Xindu is so dilapidated, it is already anarchy, my brother is afraid that the soldiers left behind will be disheartened and disobey military discipline, harass and plunder the people, so they are enclosed in the barracks, and they are not allowed to leave the camp for half a step, just waiting for the army of the country to come and receive them." ”

For such a treatment, Xu Huang has a good impression of the Lu brothers, and at this time, it is really rare that he did not take advantage of the chaos to rob and poison the people again.

received the soldiers and horses of the generals Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang left by Yuan Shao to guard, and immediately took out the holy decree of "Emperor Han Xian", and crowned Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang as liehous. Although it is the last rank of the Han Dynasty, which is lower than that of the Pavilion Marquis, it can be regarded as a nobleman recognized by the state, and it can be said that he has ascended to the sky in terms of identity.

The reason why Cao Cao took out the position of the prince to reward the Lu brothers is for two reasons, the first is that now Yuan Shao has taken his family to Xudu, and it is these two brothers who stay in Xindu, as long as their brothers do not rebel, Xu Huang, an outsider, can use the prestige of these two to stabilize the situation of Yizhou Zhixindu, and he can work with Xu Huang to drag Lu Peng to the time when he recovers.

And the most fundamental reason for appointing the two of them as liehous, that is, this seal letter comes easily, which is convenient, if you seal a few of them, there is no room for casting a seal letter.

But in fact, the Lu brothers were not happy at all, holding the letter of the liehou, and could only sigh for a long time.

Xu Huang saw it in his eyes, and also knew the thoughts of the two, so he hurriedly explained: "The two marquis don't have to worry so much, although you two are also surnamed Lu, but you can't fight with Lu Peng, the prime minister is generous and generous, and he has absolute trust in the two of you, and please rest assured." ”

The two brothers glanced at each other and immediately knelt down to thank the prime minister for his great kindness.

Xu Huang pulled it up, gave a few words of encouragement, and then brought the topic to the point: "I don't know how many soldiers there are in Xindu now, and how much food and ordnance there is in the treasury." ”

After thinking for a while, the Lu brothers said: "The last will be arranged by Yuan Gong to stay, there are 5,000 soldiers, all the money in the treasury was taken away by Yuan Gong, and the grain and grass were also sold. ”

Yuan Shao was defeated this time, and he had no power, so he did not stay in Yizhou to continue to fight with Cao Cao as in history, and after his three sons died of illness, they fought hard, and finally cheapened Cao Cao. But in order to let Cao Cao and Lu Peng's unscrupulous boy fight each other, he resolutely gave up Yizhou to seek the near and far and dedicated it to Cao Cao, he had no hero's heart, he only thought of Xu Du and being a rich man, so he took away everything he could and could take away, leaving behind an absolute mess.

Jiang Qi took the money and grain account book handed over by the Lu brothers, and after taking a look, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - Yuan Shao, it's too ruthless, right now, Xu Huang's assassin history, and his own Si Cao, will go to his own military camp tonight to continue to gnaw on the nest with the soldiers, otherwise he will beg on the street.

Because Jiang Qi was the commander of Yizhou, the general secretary Cao, he wanted to take over the civil affairs, so he had to ask the Lu brothers how many people and how many big businessmen still have in Xindu.

The Lu brothers thought for a while, but Lu Kuang replied: "A few years ago, Xindu had a population of no less than 200,000 and no less than 1,000 large households, but after years of war, in order to strengthen the front-line army, Yuan Gong continued to forcibly recruit people to participate in the war in various places and in Xindu, and constantly asked for money and food to supply military supplies from large households. ”

Xu Huang shook his head and smiled bitterly, the war has been implicated for too long, and Yuan Shao's resources have been exhausted, even if the prime minister does not surprise and Lu Peng does not fall into the ground, Yuan Shao will not be able to hold out for long.

At this time, Jiang Qi was strange: "I just entered the city, but what I saw was a dead city and an empty city." ”

Lu Xiang said: "Lord Si Cao doesn't know, half a month ago, Yuan Gong announced that he would go to the field and cede Yizhou to the prime minister, and the morale of the army and the people was completely dispersed, and the people who could go were gone, and the big families who could go, the merchants and gentry also abandoned their industries and left with their families. ”

"Where did they go?" Jiang Qi asked curiously.

The Lu brothers looked embarrassed. Xu Huang understood.

Where did everyone go? It's not that they heard that Yizhou was occupied by Cao Cao, and everyone was infinitely disappointed, so they left their hometown and went to Lu Peng's place in Youzhou.

If Lu Peng occupies Yizhou, the people and businessmen can still stay, waiting for Lu Peng's governance, although there will be a difficult time, but after all, they have not left their homeland, everyone can still have a hope, once this hope is gone, what are you doing here? Taking advantage of the fact that no one is blocking their opportunity to move to Youzhou, who is willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the eyes of the people, and stay here, stay here and wait for death?

In fact, the Lu brothers didn't want to go, but they had their own thoughts, and they originally thought that Lu Peng's family, who had rushed into Yizhou, would be the first to receive the Yizhou Xindu, which is now ownerless, so their brothers could rely on the merits of staying in Xindu to follow their own family to do a vigorous career.

As a result, who would have thought that Lu Peng had no intention of occupying one city and one place at all, and followed the strategy of first outside and then inside, preparing to pull Yizhou into his basin first, and then slowly digest it later.

As a result, things changed, and Xu Huang, who was sealed by Cao Cao, also followed the strategy of not caring about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and went directly into Xindu, facing 10,000 tigers and wolves, the Lu brothers also knew that they had no ability to resist at all, so they had to lead the crowd to surrender. Of course, now it is not called surrender, it is called returning to the orthodoxy of the Han court, because Yuan Shao did not rebel at all, but these are all things that cannot be said in his heart.

So everyone fell silent.

But since you have taken over this mess, you have to clean it up, or you will live up to the high expectations of the prime minister. So, Xu Huang and Jiang Qi began to rectify Xindu and prepare for the upcoming Lu Peng.

Lu Peng is not a good guy, he is extremely greedy, he will never be unmoved by a piece of fat on his lips. From his current actions, it can be seen that Lu Peng has the ambition to eat Yizhou all at once.

In principle, swallow Yizhou in one bite, and the little Lu Peng is not afraid to hold on.

This is said in the past in other people's places, but in Lu Peng's place, it seems that it will not become, this kid is really not afraid to hold on.

Not to mention the total overall record at the beginning, it was a fire that led an army of 20,000 or 30,000 directly into the grassland, and was not afraid of God's curse, and wiped out the entire Wuhuan people who had been inherited for hundreds of years and suffered from the pain of the Han Dynasty, and they were unwilling, and the policy of buying alien heads on the grassland with money was still not canceled, of course, the heads purchased were already Xianbei people.

From this point of view, Lu Peng began to think about Xianbei people.

Such a big stomach, what kind of outrageous things he said. It's all understandable. Therefore, he must be guarded against him.
