There is dust in the distance of Youzhou City slowly rising on the horizon, as the dust fills, a sonorous and neat footsteps, faintly coming from a distance, getting closer and closer, and finally there is a fiery red flag, slowly appearing on the horizon, with the appearance of the flag, a white-robed and white-horse banmen knife general, it appeared majestically in front of everyone, everyone looked carefully, that is not the familiar Lu Peng or who?

Lu Peng really didn't expect that Zou Jing, who he was most afraid of, would actually ride a horse and stand at the gate of the city to find fault, and immediately put on a flattered look, jumped off the war horse from a distance, ran a few steps, came to Zou Jing, and gave a deep salute: "Grass man Lu Peng returned victoriously, and I have seen Lord Captain and Mr. Guan." ”

Zou Jing rode on the horse, didn't even glance at Lu Peng, just looked at the team that slowly appeared behind Lu Peng, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

Lu Peng's army came to Youzhou City, and with an order, it immediately turned into a phalanx, 4,000 troops, arranged into two tight large arrays, one in front of a large array, a big flag, on which was a fierce tiger, under a big flag, white robe and silver spear, it was Xi Zhen who had seen it.

Another big flag, on which is a hideous jackal, under a big flag, a red robe and a red horse, and a big gun, is indeed Zhang Yan who has had a relationship.

Looking behind him, two square formations, solemnly standing, these 4,000 people and horses are indeed young and strong, no one is old and weak, not to mention the sick and weak, although there is no armor on the body, but everyone's clothes, but will be washed clean, giving people a refreshing and capable performance, coming from afar, although the face is full of dust, there is no slack and tired, in this whistling cold wind, clenching the strange spear in his hand, the four thousand spears, the light shines on the sun and the moon, the fiery red cherry blossoms, spread out with the wind, It's like a huge sea of fire.

It is really a person like a dragon and a horse, and the momentum of rising up, like the top of Mount Tai, has an invincible momentum.

Looking at such a military appearance, Zou Jing involuntarily mentioned the war horse, ran directly to the front of the military formation, and carefully confirmed again, in his heart, it was indeed a neat 4,000 men and horses, and finally had to sigh, it is really a strong army in the world, much stronger than the official army, such a strong army in hand, so why is the Quartet of Youzhou worried?

The horses ran around the phalanx, still unsatisfied, so they stood in front of the horse formation, raised their big hands to the big array, and shouted: "My soldiers, you have worked hard." ”

With this voice, I thought that it would be in exchange for the cheers and responses of the soldiers, but the four thousand men and horses were still silent,——Who are you, what are we doing with you?"

At that time, Zou Jing was very embarrassed. Fortunately, at this time, Lu Peng, who had finished greeting Guan Yuan, came back in time, immediately took over Zou Jing's embarrassment, and replied loudly to Zou Jing: "For the peace of the Han Dynasty, fight to the death and never retreat." ”

Then Xi Zhen and Zhang Yan hurriedly held the stinky feet of the lord: "For the peace of the Han Dynasty, fight to the death and not retreat." ”

The four thousand brothers immediately shouted in unison: "For the peace of the Han Dynasty, fight to the death and never retreat." ”

Such calls are higher and higher, and they are really earth-shattering.

And so on and so forth, and the army was once again calm.

Zou Jing was very satisfied with Lu Peng's actions, so he waved his hand to Lu Peng: "Order the soldiers to settle in the city." Then he first drove back to the city.

This is really the advantage of the superiors when they want to come and go when they want to go.

At this time, Guan Yi stepped forward with a smile again, entered the city side by side with Lu Peng, and said to Lu Peng as he walked: "It seems that Lord Zou Jing is very satisfied with your soldiers, and you don't plan to leave again when you come back this time." ”

Guan Yi and Lu Peng originally had a gift, of course, they felt very good about Lu Peng, so they cared about Lu Peng's thoughts and concerns.

Lu Peng also wanted to make friends with this Taishou red man, so he untied a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Guan Yuan, Lu Peng came this time and specially brought many such small jewelry and jade, just to make friends with middle and lower-level officials, Guan Yuan is of course the first target.

Guan Qi took it with a smile, and then naturally hung it on his belt.

Two people give at will, and the other receives naturally, as if they have been friends for many years, regardless of each other, this is the person who really cooperates.

Lu Peng said as he walked: "With Xuande Gong running to fight, the result is that he is looked down upon everywhere, and he is still defenseless, still a white body, how can he make people willing, I think it is still this Youzhou people are kind and righteous, so I brought the military horse back to Youzhou to serve, and I also hope to mix a half-official position here, and it is not in vain for my husband to fight."

Talking to people who understand it should be direct, there is no need to go around in the clouds, that will give people the impression of not being a single person, especially for some people who can help you or not, maybe because of your winding, as a result, people deliberately pretend not to understand, so they simply give you a pretending to be deaf and dumb, so won't it delay things?

In his opinion, this proves that Lu Peng regards himself as a friend and is trusted, which is actually very moving.

So he said openly: "The Han Qiang brothers plan to be good, the so-called fame but from the horse, now the Central Plains war has basically subsided, and then want to establish military merit is difficult to climb to the sky, but our Youzhou is different, now the situation in Youzhou is not good, although a large number of yellow turban thieves have been destroyed, but the small groups scattered all over the country are still robbing all sides, and the thieves are even more rampant. It must be very easy to get a position like this. ”

This is to give Lu Peng the truth, and what you mean is that you came early is not as good as the coincidence that you came, and now Taishou and the captain are in a mess, and it is when you are needed as a thug, you can take care of it.

Lu Peng nodded wisely, and he wrote down this sentiment.

"However, Brother Han Qiang must also be mentally prepared, now there is erosion in various places, and taxes are difficult to collect, so in terms of military treatment, it may be a little worse, so we must restrain the soldiers and soldiers, and do not cause any changes." Then Guan Yu said again: "Now the Taishou Mansion is in financial difficulty, and even the salaries and annual rewards of officials at all levels have not yet been settled, and the treatment of the army is even worse, so you have to worry more about the supply of your troops." ”

Lu Peng was stunned for a moment, this is not good, he took 4,000 soldiers out of the valley, and used this capital to sell himself at a good price, the most important thing is to reduce the food pressure in the valley base area, according to your statement, it seems to say, and if you want us to eat and drink well and not make trouble, I have to find a way by myself, so why should I bring so many people to you? It is better to let them carry out military cantonment in the valley base area, how do you say this?

At this time, Xu Jie, who heard the understanding, stepped forward and whispered: "Since Youzhou's finances are so tight, is the lord grabbing some back for him as a letter of surrender to the Taishou and the captain?" ”

"Rob? Who to rob? ”

Xu Jie said gloomily: "When the lord came, he was humiliated by the Zhao family, and the Zhao family has already put on a posture to give the lord a dismount, has the lord forgotten?" For the sake of money and food, in order to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou in the future, why don't we fabricate charges and justifiably destroy his entire clan. ”

Lu Peng stood still, looked this Xu Jie up and down again, this kid has got a good daughter-in-law, isn't there still the sun shining on his dark thoughts? I like it though.

"That's it."
