On the road to Tancheng, Lu Ren rode on his horse and raised his eyes to look around at the scene that I was afraid to use the word "full of desolation", and he felt a feeling for a while, and couldn't help but sigh heavily. It's only been a few years? Tancheng, which was good at the beginning, has become completely incompatible with the scene in Lu Ren's vague memory.

Mi Zhu on the side saw Lu Ren sighing, patted his horse and asked, "Yihao, how long has it been since you left Xuzhou?" ”

Lu Ren calculated and said, "It's almost six years, right?" I remember how stable and prosperous Xuzhou was six years ago, but now it is ...... Alas! ”

Mi Zhu said: "If you hadn't left Xuzhou back then, maybe it wouldn't have been like this, right?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "No, what should happen may not be something I can change or not, at most it can only be postponed a little bit...... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Brother Mi, you lead the team first, I want to go to the small village where I lived temporarily, and then pay tribute to Li Lao and Xiaoping, who took me in. ”

Mi Zhu originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Lu Ren's expression, he didn't say anything, just nodded and led the grain team into the city to station. Lu Ren took the thirty or so Lu children around him and came to the small village where he lived temporarily according to his memory.

Although the village where he lived temporarily was once in ruins during Cao Cao's attack on Xu, it was later resettled by displaced people. But now it's a ruin full of weeds. When Lu Ren finally found the place where Li Lao and Xiaoping were buried, he found that Li Lao and Xiaoping's graves had already been dug up, and even the bones were thrown away. And looking at the traces of the excavation, it is certainly not a recent thing. I finally found a few villagers hiding in the village and asked, only to find out that it was Lu Bu's sergeant who dug it up when he came to the village to plunder.

At this time, Lu Ren was so angry that he jumped up and scolded: "Is there a mistake?" Lu Bu, you bastard has gone too far, haven't you? I really don't have anything to say about you digging the graves of the rich, but you also let the soldiers dig the graves of the poor? **I don't have any conscience at all!? ”

After shouting these words, Lu Ren raised his middle finger in the direction of Xia Pi under resentment, and scolded: "Lu Bu, Lu Bu, just a person like you...... who will die if you don't die?" Lao Cao does things a lot of times very excessively, but he still knows how to take proper care of the people, you guy is a bandit leader at all! Originally, I didn't want to do anything to you without grudges with you, but now it seems that I'm really sorry for Tianli if you don't let your bones be gone! I'll fuck your second uncle, I'll grab your woman! ”

Those thirty or so Lu clan disciples have seen Lu Ren get so angry once upon a time? However, they all know that Lu Ren is such a heart, and once he breaks through Lu Ren's bottom line, Lu Ren will become a little unreasonable. I don't say anything dirty, I don't even say anything like robbing a woman. Seeing that it was really not like words, a certain Lu disciple stepped forward and admonished: "Family master, human life is like mustard in the war, let alone the dead?" When it comes to the right talent, the head of the family behaves too much, and he hopes that the head of the family will be self-respecting. ”

"I'm fucking you!" Lu Ren then jumped to his feet and scolded: "When I was exiled here, it was Li Lao who took me in, otherwise I would have starved to death, in other words, Li Lao is my benefactor!" Later, Li Lao died in the chaos of Lao Cao and Tao Qian's campaign, and I couldn't save Li Lao at that time, and I was already very uncomfortable! I finally buried Mr. Li, but now it has become like this, I feel very uncomfortable! I have nothing to say about being ruthless and despicable, and sometimes I can't help it to survive, but I have a little conscience! He also digs the graves of the poor? Is there a limit to being a human being? This bastard Lu Bu ...... All the children set off with me to Tancheng, and they planned some good grain and grass to send to the front line earlier! I don't see with my own eyes how this Lu Bu died now, I'm not reconciled!! I'd like to go up and slash him twice if I could! What a fucking brute!! ”

The children looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only follow Lu Ren speechlessly and rush to Tancheng.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the blink of an eye, a few days later, in the governance of Tancheng Mansion, people in a little farther away may be able to hear Lu Ren's crazy roar.

"Is there a mistake? I know that my reputation and popularity in Xuzhou are not very good, but the temper of these wealthy scholars is a little too good, right? I can't ask anyone to invite them...... You people, it doesn't matter if you don't give me face, but you also have to give Lao Cao some face, don't you? I don't want to think that if it's just me, I'll ask you to dry your hair? ”

In the main hall of the mansion, Lu Renzheng was extremely depressed and grabbed his scalp, while Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, who had just sat down on the side seats in the hall, and Li Dian, who was transferred by Cao Cao to help Lu Ren a few days ago, all looked at Lu Ren dumbly, and felt a little crying and laughing at what Lu Ren said in anger.

"Cow fork? What do you mean by that? Doesn't sound like a good word......"

Li Dian asked Lu Ren, "What is Brother Lu worried about?" ”

Lu Ren said depressedly: "Alas, don't mention it! Am I not in charge of taking care of Xudu's successor grain and grass in Xuzhou and transferring it to the Xiapi battlefield? Brother Mi and I have finished counting, just wait for you to come over and guard Xuzhou with Mr. Sun, and then I will escort Brother Mi to the front line. In the past two days, I have been thinking that you and Mr. Sun may be a little powerless, and I want to invite Chen Qun, a disciple of the Chen family, to help you on behalf of Cao Gong, but I didn't expect that I sent someone to ignore people's affairs, and I didn't even step into the door! What else do you say, 'Mr. Lu has the talent of a rich country, why does he need a long literary class to get an axe', this is clearly not pleasing to my eyes! ”

"......" The three of them said in their hearts that it's good that you know, who made you scold the officials of Xuzhou before? You've offended so many people, and now you can't find anyone to help you, can you?

Lu Ren's fingers scratched on his head, and his dandruff was disappearing: "I understand what Cao Gong means, he wants me to temporarily control the affairs of Xuzhou and appease the people, but Cao Gong seems to have forgotten that I offended too many people in Xuzhou at the beginning, and it is not suitable to stay here at all!" Even if I reluctantly issue the decree, no one will pay attention to it at all, what should I do? Could it be that I am going on a killing spree in Xuzhou in order to enforce the decree!? God, I can't do that! ”

The three of them said in their hearts that this is all messy, sitting in the town, isn't it okay for you Lu Ren to squat in Xuzhou City to fill the scene? Xuzhou has just been freed from Lu Bu's hands, people from all walks of life have a wait-and-see mentality, no one will make any moves during this period, you Lu Ren just need to manage the security work of Xuzhou City after sending the Anmin list text, so that Xuzhou can maintain a calm situation during this time, and the rest of the things don't really expect you to do something.

It's just that none of these three know Lu Ren's current mentality. Before, because Lu Ren saw that the tombs in the small village had been destroyed by Lu Bu's soldiers, he wanted to rush to Xiapi to see how Lu Bu's guys died, so he wanted to leave Tancheng and go to the battlefield.

Fortunately, Lu Ren's words are just angry words on the head of people. After looking back, he calmed down, and Lu Ren also had to think about the consequences of disobeying Cao Cao's order and leaving Tancheng, after all, Lao Cao wanted Lu Ren, a person with a good reputation among the people, to temporarily stabilize the situation around Tancheng. If something happened to Tancheng, it would be no different from a backyard fire for Cao Cao, who was besieging Lu Bu in Xiapi.

But Lu Ren really wanted to see how Lu Bu died, so he racked his brains for a long time, and finally came up with a way that he thought was the best of both worlds, that is, in the name of Cao Cao, he would win over the local Haozhou children in Xuzhou, and let these local wealthy families appease Xuzhou in civil and political affairs.

As for Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, on the one hand, these two are Liu Bei's people, not Cao Cao's direct personnel, and if only these two are left, Lu Ren is worried that Cao Cao will blame himself when he turns around; On the other hand, Mi Zhu's influence in Xuzhou has long been less than before, if Mi Zhu is kept, Lu Ren is afraid that he will take the opportunity to fight with the Chen family in Xuzhou, so he wants Mi Zhu to escort grain and grass to the front line with him.

If such an arrangement can be successful, even if Lu Ren goes to the front line, in front of Cao Cao, he can say that his reputation and popularity in Xuzhou are really bad, and he is afraid that staying in Xuzhou will cause some unnecessary trouble. On the one hand, this kind of wealthy family with a high reputation in the local area can ensure stability, and at the same time, it can also make some advance preparations for Cao Cao to completely take Xuzhou; On the other hand, it can also help Cao Cao recruit first-class talents...... Chen Qun! It can be said that he was a generation of political wizards during the Three Kingdoms period, and with Cao Cao's ability to recognize people, it would be strange that he would not like it if he really talked to Chen Qun for a few words!

(PS, Chen Qun is a native of Xuchang, Yingchuan, according to historical data, when Liu Bei was "in Yuzhou", he was set up as a farewell, and Tao Qian had not died of illness at this time, so Chen Qun's accurate appearance period should be when Liu was invited by Tao Qian to Chutun Xiaopei.) Later, Lü Bu attacked Yanzhou, and Chen Qun fled to Xuzhou with his father Chen Ji to avoid chaos, and it was not until Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu that he was used by Cao Cao. Lu Ren was now at this point in time when Cao Cao was attacking Lu Bu but had not yet used Chen Qun. In addition, the setting in the book is that the Chen Qun clan was originally a tributary of the Chen clan in Xuzhou, and when the Yingchuan Academy was at its peak, they moved to Yingchuan in order to seek a career in the Yingchuan Academy, and went to Xuzhou to take refuge and return to the clan, so that Chen Qun could be included in the Chen clan in Xuzhou. ）

It's just that although Lu Ren's wishful thinking was sound, he didn't expect to eat a closed door here with Chen Qun, can he not be depressed at this time? You must know that not only was his wishful thinking blocked, but from this matter, Lu Ren also found that his original plan to deduce from Cao Cao that he was unpopular in Xuzhou was actually true. And since it is a fact, Lu Ren wants to shake off his hands as soon as possible...... These wealthy families don't give you face, and Lu Ren will not eat less.

After thinking about it, Lu Ren's gaze still stayed on Mi Zhu's body. According to the news inquired by the Lu family in the past few days, as soon as Mi Zhu returned to Tancheng, he had some actions to revive the family business, and if he did so, he would naturally have some conflicts with the Chen family. And in the area of Qing, Yan and Xu, because of the ambiguous relationship between Lu Ren and Mi Zhen, almost everyone knows that the relationship between Mi and Lu Ren is not ordinary, and now Lu Ren is temporarily sitting in Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu is indeed easy for Chen to guess something, so it is already very good that Xuzhou Chen did not turn his face with Lu Ren, you Lu Ren still want to count on being able to invite Chen Qun out?

After pondering for a long time, Lu Ren decided to start the knife from Mi Zhu out of personal considerations. After coughing a few times, Lu Ren invited Li Dian and Sun Qianxian to be busy, and he invited Mi Zhu to go to the restaurant in the city for a few drinks......
