Chapter 121: Fan Zeng
"Dad, don't talk nonsense, if it reaches the ears of the lord, it won't be good." Lu Ze said worriedly.
Lu Shizhi on the side smiled, and he said: "Brother, don't worry, if my father doesn't talk to us, how can it reach the ears of the lord?"
"Well, it's good to be cautious." Mrs. Lu bowed slightly, but he also agreed with Lu Ze's prudence, and he said again: "I once said that if your sister gives birth to a male baby, half of my Lu family's property will be given to my grandson. Today, Pei Gong guards Pei County, and the milk red emperor, in the future, you two must assist Pei Gong well. ”
"Dad, don't worry, if my sister really gives birth to a male baby in the future, I and Shi Zhi will fully support my sister." Lu Ze also said in a deep voice, "The key is that my sister has never been pregnant, what does the lord think?" ”
"Without the support of my Lu Mansion, how can the lord be where he is today?" Lu Shizhi said with a slight resentment.
Mrs. Lu suddenly reprimanded with a gloomy face: "Presumptuous! In the future, this must not be said again, otherwise he will be expelled from the Lu Mansion. This time Lu Taigong was angry, he was most worried that the people of the Lu Mansion would claim merit, in that case, it would inevitably cause Liu Yuan's disgust.
"Second brother, do you know what is wrong? Although the lord has the help of my Lu Mansion for a while, after all, it is the lord's own courage, strategy, and benevolence that can have the foundation of today's Pei County. Lu Ze also frowned and reprimanded in a low voice.
Lu Shizhi immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he also knew that he had lost his words, "Dad, the child knows that he is wrong, and he will remember his father's teachings in the future." ”
"What the lord thinks, let's not speculate, with the lord's character, the pheasant will not be treated badly." Lu Taigong waved his hand, and he ordered: "You can go back later, so as not to be suspicious."
The news of the defeat of Pei County by the county guard Chen Tong's army spread quickly throughout Surabaya County like this cold wind, and many big families got the details of this expedition for the first time. Pei County's ability to win also shocked them with different thoughts. At the beginning of the conquest, no one had ever been optimistic about Peixian, but it was such a small county town, a small pavilion chief, but he was able to harass, pour oil, rob grain, etc., and stubbornly repelled the Qin army under this huge disadvantage.
Liu Yuan, the small pavilion chief who was once famous for his porcelain in the county, used an almost impossible victory in this Peixian expedition to completely reverse the views of the major families in the county on him. In Surabaya County, Liu Yuan's reputation overshadowed all the big clans for a while.
And the Qin army, this once invincible army no longer exists rumors are also spreading in the county. With the defeat of the Qin army, the situation in Surabaya County became even more chaotic. The county guard Chen Tong had no face, the county lieutenant Feng Ze was also criticized, and the county commander and the county supervisor Ping were even ridiculed. Only Kong Yi, who was wounded, and Dong Cheng, who died in battle, were praised by the people in the county for their courage and fearlessness. This time the army was defeated, and the reputation and prestige of the officials of Surabaya County fell into a trough.
Chen Tongxin is as cold as a cold wind, this battle was lost after all, who can he tell the bitterness in his heart? Liu Yuan's strategy, the tenacity of the soldiers and civilians in Pei County, and the sudden heavy snowfall, the right time and place and people did not occupy him, and this defeat was not unjust, Chen Tong thought of it. Looking at the confused eyes of the generals and soldiers in the army, Chen Tong knew that in this kind of sloppy situation, it was impossible to conquer again. Moreover, the situation in the county did not allow him to continue to expend troops in Pei County. Chen Tong looked in the direction of Hangu Pass, only hoping that Ziying Gongzi had received his letter.
When Surabaya County was paying attention to this battle, Huiji County and Xiang Liang had already led the troops to connect the three cities, and the prestige of the Xiang family's army was already well known in Huiji. Especially Xiang Yu's fierceness, compared to the first fierce general of Great Qin, Meng Tian. In the battle of the three cities, Xiang Yu charged ahead, and the main general of the Qin army must be killed in every battle.
At this time, Xiang Yu was drinking and chatting with Long Ji and Ji Bu in his big tent. Long He grew up with Xiang Yu and was loyal to the latter, and he also killed many enemies with Xiang Yu in these battles. As for Ji Bu, this person is a famous chivalrous man, and someone once said that it is better to get Ji Bu Yinuo than to get a thousand gold, which shows his liver and gallbladder and heavy promise.
Speaking of which, Ji Bu and Xiang Yu also don't know each other, Ji Bu once set up a ring in Wuzhong to compete, and Xiang Yu happened to meet on the road, and the two had a hard exchange. Hearing that Xiang Yu led the Xiang family army against Qin, Ji Bu also came to defect.
"Come, eat!" Xiang Yu laughed and drank all the wine in the cup.
"Although Brother Ji Bu has not been in my Xiang family army for a long time, I have long heard of your reputation. Come, Brother Jib, full drink! Long He poured himself full of rice wine, and said heartily, for their martial artists, wine is indispensable.
Ji Bu held the cup in both hands, and also responded: "Brother Long and Big Brother praise falsely, but it's just a false name." Bu Gang joined the Xiang family army, and he will need the guidance of the eldest brother in the future. Brother Long, please! ”
The three of them were drinking happily, Xiang Liang suddenly walked in, seeing this, Xiang Yu and the three of them hurriedly got up and saluted. "What orders does my uncle have to give orders to my nephew, why do you come here yourself?" Xiang Yu arched his hand and said in a deep voice.
Xiang Liang smiled and said, "Hehe, could it be that your uncle bothered you to drink?"
The general laughed. Long and the others all laughed, they naturally knew that Xiang Liang was joking.
"What the hell is going on with my uncle?" Xiang Yu's face turned pale, and he asked again.
Xiang Liang invited a person behind him out at this time, and he also bowed his hand slightly to this person to show respect. "Mr. Fan Zeng, this is my nephew's Xiang Ji." Afterwards, Xiang Liang instructed Xiang Yu again: "Ji'er, don't you want to see Mr. Fan Zeng?"
Xiang Yu was surprised in his heart, secretly saying who the old man in front of him was, and he couldn't help but look at it for a while. This Fan Zeng already has a white beard and a wrinkled face, but his eyes are blazing and his demeanor is calm.
"Huh?" Seeing Xiang Yu looking, Xiang Liang scolded in a low voice: "Yu'er, don't be rude!"
"Hehe, it's okay!" Fan Zeng smiled, he also looked at Xiang Yu and said, "General Xiang is young, and his blood is strong at that time!"
Hearing Fan Zeng's evaluation of himself, Xiang Yu replied: "Xiang Yu meets Mr. Fan!"
"Long Ji, Ji Bu, meet Mr. Fan!" The dragon and the two hurriedly saluted.
"Xiang Lianggong, there are so many fierce generals in my Xiang family's army, great things will be done." Fan Zeng looked at Long and the two again, and smiled slightly.
"Hehe, I need my husband's assistance in the future." Xiang Liang also smiled and said. "Ji'er, I have asked Mr. Fan Zeng to be a military advisor, and you must carefully follow Mr. Zeng's advice in the future."
Xiang Yu was suddenly shocked, he didn't expect that his uncle would ask the old man in front of him to be his military advisor.
