After reading the battle report during his absence, Lu Rui couldn't help laughing, Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui really didn't let him down. After a long period of attack, Qin Qiong finally took Shouchun half a month ago. Originally, Zang Min could have retreated a long time ago, but because he was unwilling to give Shouchun away, he desperately resisted Qin Qiong for a few more days.

However, the combat effectiveness of Qin Qiong's army was stronger than he imagined, and after a few days, Zang Min could no longer hold Shouchun, so he had to abandon the city and retreat. As for Zang Hong, who was sent out to ask for help, Lu Rui had already prepared, and now Zang Hong would never be able to return to Zang Min's side.

Qin Qiong's army repaired for a period of time after taking Shouchun, according to the method given by Liu Bowen, it stabilized the mood of the people there in a short period of time, and under the tempting conditions offered by Qin Qiong's army, people continued to come to join the army, counting the soldiers who were recruited before, the strength of Qin Qiong's army was replenished again, in order to ensure the supply of the rear, Qin Qiong has applied to send people to sit in Shouchun.

At that time, Lu Rui's political talent was Li Deyu, but Li Deyu needed to sit in Xuzhou, and it would definitely not work to transfer him, and Lu Rui was not there at that time, so Li Deyu discussed with everyone, and temporarily asked Qin Qiong to leave Pei Ju in Shouchun, and as for the logistics management in the army, he would temporarily promote one, and it would not be too late to have a suitable candidate for promotion in the future.

"Alas! It seems that I still lack political talents in my hands, and when I find an opportunity, I must recruit a few political talents or summon some of them, and now the situation in Yangzhou is basically under my control, and someone needs to be able to sit in Yangzhou at that time. Looking at these battle reports, Lu Rui thought to himself in his heart.

After Qin Qiong's side dealt with the affairs of Shouchun, they continued to march, this time their goal was to take Lujiang directly, and then join Xue Rengui who was marching from the other side, this time Lu Rui's instructions were to take Yangzhou and destroy the Lu clan.

And the situation on Xue Rengui's side is also good, after a long time of fighting, Xue Rengui has now won a quarter of the city in Yangzhou, and those cities that have not been beaten by Xue Rengui are now a little frightened after hearing Xue Rengui's name, and some are timid to open the door and surrender directly after seeing Xue Rengui coming. However, this is also good, and it also accelerates the pace of Xue Rengui's unification of Yangzhou.

"Speaking of which there are a lot of talents in Yangzhou, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, the governors of Eastern Wu, are now in Yangzhou, it seems that I need to inform Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui to pay special attention to these people, if there is a chance, recruit these people to their command, once the Sun family is missing these people, it will not be easy to achieve the future of Eastern Wu, so I can also have a strong enemy." It's a pity for Lu Xun, it's impossible to want Lu Xun to take refuge with me now, in the future, I only have the possibility of meeting him with a sword, and there is absolutely no other possibility. Lu Rui thought to himself.

So, Lu Rui put up a letter of resignation, first, to inform Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui to pay attention to the people he said, and the situation in Yangzhou is basically not too serious now, so he immediately recalled Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning, and it was time for him to fulfill his promise to Zhuge Liang, as for Gan Ning, Lu Rui wanted him to become a witness.

After the letter was written, Lu Rui quickly sent someone to send it out, and then, Lu Rui devoted himself to his own affairs, as the supreme leader, Lu Rui could not become a hands-off shopkeeper at this time.

After about seven days, Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning had already returned to Xuzhou, and after seeing Lu Rui, they immediately bowed their hands to Lu Rui and said: "Lord, we have already returned, I don't know what the Lord is so anxious to call us back?" ”

"Well, it's really hard for you to come back from Yangzhou, I asked you to come back not for anything else, just to fulfill my promise with you." Lu Rui looked at Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning, and said to the two.

"The lord wants to make good on his promise? Could it be ......" Hearing this, Gan Ning seemed to think of something, so he asked Lu Rui.

"Come on, bring Wu Tianxi to me." Lu Rui did not answer Gan Ning immediately, but asked someone to bring Wu Tianxi up, and after a while, Wu Tianxi, whose hair was unkempt, had already been brought up.

"Kong Ming, I don't think you will be unfamiliar with this person! I promised you that you would be able to take revenge, and now it's time for me to fulfill my promise, this knife is for you, and it is up to you to know him with your own hands! Lu Rui walked in front of Zhuge Liang, handed the knife in his hand to Zhuge Liang, and said to Zhuge Liang.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, 10 joy points of Zhuge Liang have been obtained, and the host currently has a total of 32 joy points and 34 hatred points. Since Zhuge Liang's intelligence attribute has exceeded 100, the Gu system has already produced an explosive effect......" At this time, the prompt tone of the system rang in Lu Rui's ears and said.

"Record this data automatically, and I'll look at it myself later!" Lu Rui knew that now was not the time to pay attention to these things, so Lu Rui could only secretly give instructions to the system.

Gaining Zhuge Liang's joy points, Lu Rui's heart can be said to be overjoyed now, and reaping Zhuge Liang's joy points means that Zhuge Liang can basically be tied to himself now, which is indeed a thing worth celebrating.

"Thank you for remembering your promise to Kong Ming, and thank you for allowing Liang to get to know him personally, Liang swears here that no matter what happens in the future, Liang will never abandon the lord, but Liang can't kill him now." Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Rui and said to Lu Rui.

"Xiao Mingzi, what are you talking nonsense, this is a chance for revenge that the lord has created for you, no matter how you say don't, don't want it." Hearing this, before Lu Rui could speak, Gan Ning had already quit. He can't wait to pull Zhuge Liang out and beat him now, it is not easy to meet such a lord who keeps his promise, and the two of them have already heard that Lu Rui and the others encountered something when they rushed out of Luoyang City. This Wu Tianxi can be said to have been arrested by Lu Rui with his life, and now this Zhuge Liang actually said that he would not kill him, isn't this deliberately making the lord's efforts in vain?

"General Xingba, don't be impatient, I think Kong Ming must have his own reasons for doing this, Kong Ming, can you tell me what your reason is for doing this?" Lu Rui looked at Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang.

"Back to the lord, the reason why Liang did this is also to better repay the lord. The reason why I didn't kill Wu Tianxi with my own hands was because I wanted to let go of the hatred in my heart, a person who was swayed by hatred couldn't achieve much, Liang didn't want to be blinded by hatred, if he could, Liang could even take Wu Tianxi under his command, I believe that out of the shackles of hatred, Liang can better assist the lord. Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Rui and said to Lu Rui.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Lu Rui and Gan Ning stopped talking, they didn't expect this Zhuge Liang to have such an awareness at a young age, and for a while, neither of them knew what to say.

"Kong Ming, I know what you think in your heart, even if this is the case, I respect your choice, but I will never agree to the fact that you want to recruit Wu Tianxi, after all, not everyone can have the same consciousness as you, this Wu Tianxi and our hatred is not so easy to resolve, he is now afraid that he has a strong murderous intent towards us. After all, his brother and sister have died at our hands, and in the face of such hatred, I am afraid that few people can let go, therefore, I will not allow you to recruit him, even for your safety, I will never let you do this. Lu Rui looked at Zhuge Liang and said to Zhuge Liang. (To be continued.) )
