Chapter 229: The Enemy Has Conquered My Merits

Lu Yu is a rigid and serious young man, since the day he took office as Youzhou Gongcao, he has never had a private meeting with any Youzhou civil and military officials, and he has never accepted gifts from others. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info His house in Tuyan Castle is also the smallest and worst located of all the engagements.

Lu Yu is only 21 years old this year, but he has already taken up the burden of the family, his father Lu Zhi, his mother and two brothers have all died, leaving two sisters-in-law and five nephews, all of whom now live in Lu Yu's house, each with only one maid, and two people in the kitchen, and two peasant women who do rough work such as dry laundry and cleaning, and there is no one else in the family since then.

This is a traitor phenomenon in Tuyin City, Cao Pi has borrowed a lot of food from local squires since he lived in Youzhou, and he also looted the holy land of smuggling and trading outside the Guan, if you want to say that the net worth, it must be very rich, and Cao Pi is also very generous, the subordinate officials he appointed and dismissed basically got a lot of rewards from him, plus Tuyin City has vacated a lot of houses, so everyone has chosen a good house, even if it is an unruly person like Zhong Changtong, there are dozens of maids, and more than 20 houses. After all, few people will have a quality of life that cannot be passed.

But Lu Yu is an exception. Cao Pi believes that this kid must be this virtue because of the relationship between genes. His father Lu Zhi is actually a great person, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, the eight states in the world responded, the government and the opposition shook, Lu Zhi Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong worshiped as the general of the North Zhonglang, and ordered the Wuhuan Zhonglang General to serve as his deputy, leading the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army (that is, the five battalions of Tun Cavalry, Yue Cavalry, Infantry, Changshui, and Shots) to Jizhou to pacify the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, that is, the rebel army led by Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turbans.

When he arrived in Jizhou, Lu Zhi won a series of battles, and within a year he beat Zhang Jiao to a small city called Guangzong, and when he saw that Zhang Jiao was about to die, Emperor Liu Hong sent a small yellow gate (eunuch) to take the emperor to inspect the work, and others knew that the eunuch was greedy for money, and persuaded Lu Zhi to give him a bribe, but Lu Zhi disdained it, and the little yellow gate returned to Luoyang and immediately slandered the emperor, saying that he was inactive on the front line. The emperor was furious and imprisoned Lu Zhi.

The person who replaced the commander of Lu Zhijizhou Army was Dong Zhuo, who was later beautiful, but in that battle, Dong Zhuo was defeated, which made the Yellow Turban Army stumble for a while. Later, it was another imperial general, Huangfu Song, who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou and gave the credit to Lu Zhi, so that Lu Zhi was spared from prison.

There is another thing that can prove Lu Zhi's deep hatred of bribery, a few years before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, that is, in the second year of Guanghe, there was a solar eclipse, and the ancients gave this unexplained phenomenon the meaning of auspicious or evil, and the occurrence of this natural phenomenon is generally a good time to write a book to advise and ask for a play, at that time Lu Zhi went to the book and offered eight strategies to the emperor.

That is: use good: let the state and county nucleate the virtuous and appoint; Forbidden: Amnesty for those who are in the party; Yu Xuan: burying the relatives of the innocent and murdered Empress of Song; Beikou: Preferential treatment of the Hou Wang's house to prevent chaos; Physical cultivation: recruiting talented and virtuous people such as Zheng Xuan; Zun Yao: Evaluate the performance of the county guard assassin history on time; Your Majesty: Put an end to vices such as setting up banquets and asking for trusts, and instruct relevant departments to do a good job of recommending talents; Sanli: It is recommended that Liu Hong no longer accumulate private wealth. These last two strategies, one is to say that the officials of the DPRK and China are not allowed to set up banquets, and the other is to directly ask Liu Hong, the son of the Han Dynasty at that time, not to accumulate private wealth, it is conceivable: how much of a deep hatred for bribery can be to offend the ministers of the dynasty and the emperor in the edict to the emperor?

Victory is in sight, but he is unwilling to compromise to bribe in the slightest, a letter asking the ministers not to ask each other, and the emperor cannot accumulate private wealth, that is Lu Zhi, the upright Lu Zhi, and his son Lu Yu has now received his father's excellent genes.

Now the upright Lu Yuman has two unfolded bamboo slips in front of him, which are the battle reports of Zhang Liao and Cao Zhang, the marching division, and Cao Pi's suggestions for the evaluation of the combat merits of the two.

At this time, it was the last month of the ninth year of Jian'an, and the weather was very cold, but Lu Yu, who was sitting in the county government, felt very hot, not because of the big incense burner in the room, but because he thought of Ji Yong and Zhao Zhao more than a month ago. However, Zhang Liao and Cao Zhang's merits in pacifying Daijun and Shanggu were only rewarded with 500 stone wheat for the two of them, although 500 stone wheat was already a county order for a year, which was not a lot, but compared to this, Ji Yonghe's reward was too high, and he got 1,000 stones.

Lu Yu felt that there was something greasy in this, and the two suggestions for the reward were written by the state pastor himself, which made him feel a little embarrassed, because the state pastor's approval was equivalent to a formal order, and even if he felt that it was inappropriate, it was not easy to argue. Under the contradiction in my heart, I naturally got a little angry, so I felt hot.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Yu decided to go to Tian Yu, who was engaged in sacrificial wine, and it was best to let Tian Yu go to the back house of the county government with these few official documents to ask the state pastor clearly, in his hands Lu Yu, there could not be such an unexplained reward.

When Lu Yu presented the military report of the four people and the reward proposal approved by Cao Pi to Tian Yu's table, Tian Yu laughed and said: "Who does Zizuka think my Youzhou henchmen are?" ”

Lu Yu replied: "There are many, the first line of the Gongsun of Liaodong, the Wuhuan of the three counties of Liaoxi County and the remnants of the Yuan family, and even the high-ranking cadres of the prefecture, and the Hu people outside the Guanwai ........"

"What about the biggest henchman?"

"Three counties Wuhuan and the remnants of the Yuan family."

Tian Yu touched his beard and smiled: "Exactly, these three counties are not Changli, a subordinate country of Liaodong, nor are they Liaoxi County. After all, the Wuhuan people are not good at cultivating the land, what they rely on is the grassland outside the pass, which is the place where their Wuhuan clan raises horses and breeds, but now the north of Yanshan has been full of corpses, and most of the oases of the Wuhuan tribe outside the pass have been filled with rotting human and animal corpses, it is winter, but there is no big deal, when everything recovers in the spring, those frozen and cold rotting corpses will breed a large number of poisonous insects, and there will be a plague in the summer, only when they are rotten in the autumn, and then after a year of winter, And the birds that eat carrion eat all these things, so that the oasis can continue to live, Ji Yonghe can be said to have cut off the livelihood of the Wuhuan people outside the customs for a year, Zizuka thinks, what is the benefit of this for my Youzhou? ”

After all, Lu Yu is not a military strongman like his father, just a scholar, so he can only give his hand and say: "The lower officials don't know." ”

Tian Yu smiled and said: "For Wuyouzhou, the Wuhuan people can only hide in the pass in the coming year, because they can't be fed outside the pass, and this is a good opportunity for the Wuhuan clan to be wiped out." What Ji Yonghe is fighting for us is this opportunity to exterminate the clan. ”

Lu Yu had nothing to say, and left with his hands, but he remembered in his heart that Ji Yong had taken away only a hundred people, and he was able to slaughter all the Wuhuan people outside the gate, how many people did this person want to kill? To the enemy, this is a great sin. For me, this is a great achievement. Lu Yu thought so and felt that this reward was also fair. (To be continued.) )
