Lu Xun's approach was completely correct, after he persuaded Rinan to defend Yu Guo, the two of them then took Rinan's 2,000 foot soldiers north to Jiuzhen County.

Jiuzhen Taishou Shi Huang You (Huang Heyou is a word, I really can't type, read wei), that is, the younger brother of Shixie, he has long followed Shixie to the South China Sea, and now they have all been attached to Jiangdong, how dare they cross the border to return to Jiuzhen?

Jiuzhen County has no leader, so it relies on the support of one county, and Yu Guo has unparalleled prestige in Jiuzhen, Rinan and other places, plus he went north with 2,000 soldiers, of course those officials in Jiuzhen County did not dare to compete with them, and bowed their heads to obey orders!

Therefore, the two small counties in the frontier that Wang Xu had no intention of requisitioning for the time being were controlled by Lu Xun and given as a gift for admonishment.

The land of those two counties, if viewed from the perspective of the overall military situation, is really dispensable, and it belongs to chicken ribs. But from a detailed point of view, it is a place that must be taken sooner or later, and Wang Xu will never give up any inch of land in the Han Dynasty, so of course it will avoid the hardships of the southern expedition in the future, and it will be more convenient for unified governance and naturalization, which is beneficial in many ways.

In particular, Lu Xun did this, showed his talent, made meritorious deeds at first sight, and brought 3,000 soldiers to him, which gave Wang Xu enough reasons to promote him exceptionally. Otherwise, he really can only go to be a Peng official first, be a commander in history, or be a small colonel in the army, and he will have to stay up for two years.

Of course, Wang Xu is deep in his heart about these things, and as a ruler, there are some things that can only be weighed in his heart.

After a free conversation, everyone had already returned to the mansion, and Wang Xu ordered his servants to arrange a dinner. He took Xue Zong, Cheng Bing, Yu Guo, and Lu Xun to the study first.

Each other is talkative. It's not cold. As the topic turned back to Lu Xun and the others, he took the opportunity to speak: "Duke Yu! Your Excellency is the Weibian County of Dahan Town, and for many years you have been pacifying the barbarians and stabilizing the border stoppers, and you have made a lot of contributions, and now you should enjoy some blessings, so it is better to be transferred to Xiangyang Sikong Mansion as an official, how about it? ”

"Thank you King Chu for your praise. Thank you also for the kindness of King Chu! Yu Guo smiled, but shook his head with his beard: "But the subordinates really don't have that kind of feats, although Rinan is on the border, it can be bordered by the sea in the east and the mountains in the west, except for the indigenous tribes, there is no other threat, how to stabilize the dìng Biansai said, there is no such high merit as the king of Chu said, and the subordinates are old." I can't help it, I just want to be at home. Enjoy your old age in peace! ”

"This ......"

Wang Xu didn't expect that he would have the heart of retreat, but he still continued: "Yu Gong is really too humble, and it is not easy to deal with barbarians, although the accumulated merits are not obvious, but they are by no means as light as Your Excellency said, and Yu Gong is not old now, why shirk it like this?" ”

"King Chu, his subordinates really want to rest, they were ordered by the first emperor to be stationed in Rinan, and they are really exhausted for so many years!"

Saying that, Yu Guo sighed slightly, and then continued: "It's not a secret, my subordinates have been persistent earlier, and they are obsessed with the fact that the court can recruit their subordinates back one day, although I also know in my heart that as early as the reign of the first emperor, the court has already forgotten about the subordinates, but I still refuse to lose my hand, it is an obsession, even if the Shi brothers take power, they hope that their subordinates will give up Rinan County, and their subordinates will not be." ”

"It's not an exaggeration, the subordinates are in Ninan, with a command, everyone will support it, not only the Han people, but also the Baiyue people, even those who have not yet been named, will accompany their subordinates to death, as long as the contemptible people are unwilling, even if the 100,000 army comes to attack, there will definitely be countless casualties! Therefore, the Jiaozhou Shi brothers have no choice, and their subordinates are also in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, since he is the history of Jiaozhou Assassin, then his subordinates should obey the orders and pay the orders, and the subordinates should be handed over, in short, do their duty. ”

"But it wasn't until this time that Boyan came and he told me a lot, and he said a lot, that my subordinates really felt that today's appearance is no longer what it used to be, and the obsession of despicable people is meaningless at all, and he also persuaded his subordinates to let go of their obsessions."

I don't know why, when Yu Guo said this, he suddenly burst into tears!

Bean-sized tears slid down the old cheeks, full of unspeakable vicissitudes.

He didn't care about the tears on his face, and continued with a distant gaze: "King Chu, it's been thirty-five years since my subordinates left the hinterland of the Han Dynasty!" From the beginning of the first emperor's accession to the throne, his subordinates left their hometowns and were transferred to the distant Ninan County, and it has been a full thirty-five years. ”

"I thought I would die there, but I didn't expect Boyan to come, and I persuaded the contemptible people to untie the knot, now that I am old, I just want to return to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty and enjoy my old age in peace, thirty-five years of time, I am really tired, and I am old, and I can no longer afford to participate in the battle of the world. The future should belong to Lu Boyan, and his subordinates will be returned to the hands of the King of Chu from Rinan County today, and they will all of them, and they will only hope to be stable at home in the future, but they will be alive, and they hope that the King of Chu will be perfect! ”

"Alas!" Wang Xu let out a long sigh, and his heart was very touched.

Xue Zong, Cheng Bing and Lu Xun were also a little silent, and they didn't know how to persuade them, the dynasty was sluggish, the chaotic times were colorful, how many people's talents and time were wasted?

It's really sighing!

"Okay!" After a long time, Wang Xu finally nodded and agreed: "Duke Yu is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, although this king is not qualified to represent the Son of Heaven, but after all, he is the king of the Son of Heaven, and he also has the responsibility to settle an old minister like Your Excellency, so let's do it, if you are willing to go to Xiangyang in the future, this king will replace the Son of Heaven and give you a mansion in the city, fifty acres of fertile land in the countryside, as long as Your Excellency is alive in the future, you will be provided with an additional 10,000 yuan per month for your old age to enjoy your old age, your private property and family in Rinan County, this king will also personally order someone to send it back to Xiangyang the next day!" ”

"Thank you King Chu for your generous gift!" Yu Guo shed tears, got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to thank him.

"Your Excellency deserves it!" Wang Xu said with a smile.

"My subordinates have another request, and I hope that the King of Chu will agree!" Yu Guo said again.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"I implore the king of Chu to be kind to the people of Rinan County, as well as those ethnic groups, their nature is not evil, just because they don't know how to educate, so their primitive temperament, as long as they are more naturalized, they will be supported by their hearts, and I have heard for a long time that the king of Chu treats barbarians very well, and I hope to give them some blessings for survival!"

"It turned out to be for this. Your Excellency. But the people of the land of the Han Dynasty. They are all people, and I think Your Excellency has already heard about the way this king treats the barbarians, and there will be no situation that Your Excellency is worried about! Wang Xu promised with a smile.

When Yu Guo heard this, he kowtowed three times again, and replied loudly: "The people of the subordinate generations thank the King of Chu!" ”

"Get up!"

Wang Xu smiled and waved his hand, and when Yu Guo returned to his position, his mood calmed down slightly, and then he looked at Lu Xun, who was silent. He smiled slightly and said: "Bo Yan, you can pacify the land of the two counties without blood, and your talent is quite extraordinary, Pang Shiyuan has also strongly recommended you, let you be a partial general for the time being, and listen to orders in front of my account!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Lu Xun was in his youth, and he was full of momentum, and his response was very loud, which greatly eased the sad atmosphere in the house.

A few of them then chatted about some light topics in the house, waiting for the servants to report it. The wine banquet has been set up, so let's go to drink together!

A few days after that. Wang Xu has to talk deeply with Lu Xun every day, and slowly feels his outstanding talent and talent, but he may have lived a relatively stable life since he was a child, lack of experience, and lack of experience, but this does not damage his ability, as long as he exercises for a year and a half, he is a handsome talent.

Considering these, Wang Xu also had some ideas, wanting to leave Lu Xun in Jiaozhou and experience some time here.

After all, if the war in Jiaozhou is calmed, he will return to Xiangyang after all, and it is impossible to be here all the year round, so he has to let Xu Sheng lead the troops to stay, and Yulin needs a general to take charge after all.

However, if a military genius like Lu Xun also stays here, he can not only accumulate experience in governing the army and commanding the army, but also give Xu Sheng advice at a critical time, and he will be able to take on great responsibilities.

The days passed slowly, and there was still no movement on the Jiangdong side for a long time, and it was not until another month passed that Zhou Yu finally sent a letter to convey that Sun Jian had promised to stop the war and make peace.

However, the letter said that Zhou Yu hoped that Wang Xu would go to the South China Sea to meet him, so that he could discuss specific affairs, demarcate the boundaries of his jurisdiction, and avoid conflicts, and also demanded that Zhao Yun's Blue Dragon Legion must withdraw to Weipu Pass at the same time as him, and the date could be determined by him.

After receiving the letter, he thought about it for a long time, not because he still had any hesitation, but because it was impossible for him to go to the South China Sea in person.

He then found Lu Xun and asked him to take a look.

I didn't think that after Lu Xun saw it, but after a moment, he smiled and said: "Zhou Gongjin is a deceitful lord!" ”

"Oh? Why are you so sure? Wang Xuqi said.

"Lord, my subordinates admired him before, and they have a deep understanding, even better than many people, he is a person who will not give up any opportunity, and he is also a decisive person!" Lu Xun smiled, glanced at Wang Xu, and continued: "If he has no other plans, then he will definitely withdraw from the army directly, and he will not write so complicated on the message, he must have other plans after spending so much money!" ”

"So what do you think he's up to?" Wang Xu frowned.

Judging from the letter, it seems that he wanted to deceive the lord and plot against him, but he should have known that the lord would not agree, so he did so to paralyze the lord and ignore his deeper calculations. After all, both families have the intention to strike the army, so the lord rejected his first request, and the second request, which did not seem particularly difficult, was likely to be accepted. ”

As he spoke, Lu Xun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he smiled calmly: "But in fact, he is fighting the idea of the Blue Dragon Legion!" ”

"You mean, he still wants to go to war?" Wang Xu frowned.

"Probably not, he Jiangdong is also facing this severe threat, and he doesn't dare to force the lord to be in a hurry, and it is the common need of the two families to strike the war, so he should just want to take the Weipu Pass!" Lu Xun said with a smile.

"Yes! Somehow makes sense! Wang Xu nodded: "If he takes Weipu Pass and defeats Zhao Yun's Qinglong Legion, then he only needs to send elite troops to garrison Weipu Pass, and Nanhai County will have a barrier, and if he fights again in the future, he can send troops to the west of Jiaozhou wholeheartedly, without the threat of his waist." ”

"It should be so, no accident, he hasn't heard news for so long, it should be in the deployment plan, according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, it is best to inform General Zhao, so that they had better set up another bureau to fight, not to win, only to expose Zhou Yu's deployment, so that they can calmly withdraw to Weipu Pass!" Lu Xun said.

"Okay, that's up to you!" (To be continued......)
