As soon as he came in, he was scolded by Zou Jing, and he had to swear to break his dog's legs, which Lu Peng was used to.

However, every time he was scolded by Zou Jing, although Lu Peng trembled, he actually felt Zou Jing's love and care for him, which was a kind of elder's love for his children.

Lu Peng hurriedly asked with a smile: "I don't know where the last general is wrong again." ”

Zou Jing stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "You don't forget the old kindness and bring the troops back, this matter is done very wisely, which also lays the foundation for your future development, but you shouldn't do it, you shouldn't Meng Lang suggest that you do it to the Zhao family." ”

Lu Peng said indifferently: "I know that the Zhao family is a local clan, which is deeply rooted and deep-rooted, and it affects the whole body, but the Zhao family is dominant, on the way when I came, not only humiliated me, but also told other clans about this practice, in fact, his humiliation of me is not to despise me, but to stand up in front of me, because he clearly knows that I must be reused by Taishou and you this time, but he still humiliates me so much, his heart can be punished." ”

Zou Jing thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed with Lu Peng's judgment.

Lu Peng continued: "Since he wants to suppress Liwei against me, a new official, and has joined forces with everyone from other clans to deal with me, it can be seen that the Zhao clan's power is so great that I think that the Taishou have begun to be afraid today, so why don't I use my strength to fight?" Then Lu Peng's voice suddenly became cold, and he said gloomily: "Since your Zhao clan wants to use the suppression of me, a new official, to establish the authority of your Zhao clan in this region, then I will use the destruction of your whole family to show my means to all the clans and wealthy families in the Youzhou region. ”

Zou Jing was quite satisfied with Lu Peng's decisive ability in his heart, but he still turned around and said to Lu Peng: "Your new official has three fires, which must be burned, but to burn this fire, you must choose a good opponent, and the Zhao family you choose must not move, nor can you move, you are so reckless, it will be difficult to achieve great things in the future." ”

Lu Peng smiled: "What Lord Captain is worried about is that there are three or two officials in the court of the Zhao family, Mr. Guan Yi has already introduced to me, the officials in the court of his Zhao family are just not up or down, there is no strong force, his Zhao family is just pulling these children of the family with status, pulling the tiger skin to make a big banner, to put it bluntly, it is swaggering and deceiving, since you want to stand up, of course, you have to take a big one, if you find a small clan gate valve and do something that is not painful, I think it is very unnecessary." ”

For Lu Peng's argument, after thinking about it, he could only sigh, at this time, it is no longer like before, the obedience that pays attention to the size of the official position, at this time, it is already about strength.

For example, that Gongsun Zhan, in principle, he and Taishou are his bosses, and it should be normal to transfer him, and he should also unconditionally respect the implementation of the order, as a result, now he has heavy troops, and he also has Zhuo County as a grain and grass supply base, and on this basis, regardless of the rules of the imperial court, independently expand the army, so that there is a foundation for independence, and he and Taishou Liu Yan transferred him back to Youzhou several times to quell the chaos, but Gongsun Chan simply refused and refused to carry it out, not only that, but also hooked up with Yuan Shao, an important minister in the court, It is fundamentally independent of the Youzhou system.

Looking at Lu Peng, who was eager to try with Gongsun Zhan, he couldn't help but sigh: "I'm old and have no enterprising spirit, so let them make trouble with young people." ”

"Your entry point is good, but have you thought about it? When Taishou instructed you to do this, it was just empty words, and when it was done, everyone laughed, and it also solved the current financial crisis of Lord Taishou, and the most important thing was to remove the stumbling block for what he wanted to do in front of him, but once you messed up this matter, and promised you something in the empty words, the old thing will definitely shake his head and not admit it, it must be you who carries the black pot, have you thought about such consequences? ”

Lu Peng said with a smile: "The care of the captain is remembered by his subordinates, but what the lord said, I didn't pay attention to the counterattack of the officials of his Zhao family in the court. ”

Zou Jing asked suspiciously: "What do you think?" You must know that the counterattack of the court officials is definitely stormy, not to mention that you are a small captain, even Taishou and I may not be able to bear it. ”

Lu Peng solemnly saluted Zou Jing again: "Don't you know, my lord?" The cats and dogs of his Zhao family in the court, I think he is already overwhelmed and too busy to take care of himself, even if I destroy his clan, but I haven't destroyed the net worth of those guys, and he doesn't have a chance to manage it if he wants to. ”

Zou Jing also became cautious and asked, "How do you judge?" ”

Lu Peng said firmly and confidently: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion, although there is a great drought in the world as an inducement, and it is also the precipitation of the imperial court for many years, but more importantly, in the past few years, the ten permanent servants have been chaotic and perverse in the palace, although this Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed by the imperial court, but the loyal people in the court, to put it bluntly, those officials of the outer courts, will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to launch a desperate counterattack against the ten permanent servants of the inner court, and throughout the entire court, there is really a very open capable minister There is indeed no one, so as to come, With the support of the emperor and empress, the ten permanent servants will be even more arrogant, and a conquest in the court will also be opened, no one can be out of the way, at this time, it is difficult for those cats and dogs of his Zhao family to have a chance, and they can't get along with me? If you can't protect yourself, let's take care of his life first. ”

was analyzed by Lu Peng, Zou Jing thought about it carefully, but it was indeed the case, the struggle of the court bosses, not only has been burned vigorously between the courts, but now it has begun to spread to the localities, and the state capitals are also divided into various factions, and all the people are ready to move. It is to completely control the military and political power of a state in the hands of one person, that is, the division of the domain and town, that is, the warlord, as long as the state pastor is accepted by the imperial court, the chaos in the world will be inevitable.

With such a judgment, Zou Jing couldn't help but sigh: "The heroes of the world are young people, and the world in the future will be yours, so do it yourself." Then he looked at the two boxes of gold on the ground, and smiled freely: "I will keep these two boxes of gold for you first, even if it is your future wife, speaking of conscience, you are strong in martial arts, and your means of collecting money are also clever, I don't need to worry about you, but the money is in your hands, I really don't worry, you guy is too good at spending money, the two boxes of jewelry you gave Taishou, I was distressed when I looked at it, the money is still in my hands, my heart is relatively stable, you go back to the barracks now." ”

At that time, Lu Peng was very depressed, accepted my money, you just accept it, and made a high-sounding and inexplicable reason, as if I begged you, if you really don't want to accept it, then you can quickly return it to me, I am of great use, but the kind of love that this elder has for his nephew is already beyond words, for this lonely Lu Peng, he still feels very warm, so he bowed deeply, and said very contrary to his will: "Then there is Lord Captain Lao." ”

Lu Peng was just about to leave Zou Jing's study, but Zou Jing told him again: "Don't care, the celebrity around the Lord is too guarded, so that Youzhou don't drive, you also have to prepare a gift to go to him, there are some things you have to discuss with him, I can see that this person's attitude towards you is very good, and he will be of great help to you in the future." ”

Lu Peng saluted again: "Thank you Lord Captain for reminding me." ”

But then Zou Jing said with a tiger face: "Restrain your arrogance well, otherwise the old man will break your dog's legs." ”

So Lu Peng's heart was warm, he laughed and deliberately limped out, and Zou Jing threw out the teacup in his hand.
