After receiving the news of the Jiangxia Alliance, Lu Rui put the information aside and shook his head, Sun Quan, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and the three dragons gathered and formed a blood alliance, plus Jingzhou was rich in people, and the northern refugees went south, it seems that the trajectory of history has not changed, and Jingzhou is still a variable in the world!

"Subordinates see generals!" As soon as Lu Rui finished reading the information on Jingzhou, Xu Shu came in a hurry.

"Yuan Zhi, why are you so flustered?"

"General, this is an edict from the imperial court, and at the same time, Lord Sikong has a secret letter to the general."

"Oh?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, took over the edict and the secret letter, Cao Cao actually gave himself a secret letter at this time, it seems that something big has happened.

The imperial court's edict was to seal Lu Rui's official position, so that Lu Rui would enter the general of the northern expedition and return to Xu to wait for retention. Lu Rui smiled, his official position had risen quite quickly, and he had just been promoted from General Zhendong to General Zhengbei in just two years. This seems to be Cao Cao's masterpiece again.

Cao Cao's secret letter has two contents. First of all, in order to avenge the revenge of Guandu, Yuan Shao raised 300,000 troops to march to Liyang, preparing to go south again. In order to confront Yuan Shao, Cao Cao prepared to lead his troops to resist.

The second is Liu Biao and Sun Quan, after Liu Bei joins the alliance, the area around Moling Wu County in Jiangdong may be threatened, Cao Cao decided to let Cao Ren replace Lu Rui, guard Jiangdong, and transfer Lu Rui back to Xudu. After all, Lu Rui's experience in leading troops alone is still shallow, and he only has experience in civil affairs.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think of the letter of the middle father and the edict of the imperial court?" Lu Rui handed the letter to Xu Shu.

"General, Lord Sikong's methods are really exquisite."

"Oh? Yuan Zhi said let's take a look. ”

"Lord Sikong's move has two intentions, one is to replace the general with General Cao Ren. It is to show the army that the master of the sky is a strategy to prevent the dictatorship of the generals. If the state pastor who guards all over the country is the head of one party for a long time. It will not be able to fall off, and now the princes are in this situation. Second, Lord Sikong wanted to use General Cao Ren to suppress the Jiangdong family and Shanyue forces again, so as to consolidate the rule of the Cao army in Jiangdong. ”

"Well, what Yuan Zhi said is reasonable, since this is the case, let's pack up. Prepare to return to Xudu. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Soon, Cao Ren came to Jiangdong with his own soldiers and took over the affairs of Lü Rui's Zhendong general, and Lü Rui left Moling with his family and returned to Xudu. Cao Zhi and Cao Zhen returned to Xudu with Lu Rui, while Cao Zhang stayed in Jiangdong and Cao Ren to learn the art of leading troops.

"The child sees the middle father!" As soon as Lu Rui returned to Xudu, he went to Sikong Mansion to meet Cao Cao.

"Extraordinary, back? Be extraordinary! ”

"Thank you, Father!"

"Well, Bufan has performed well in Jiangdong, and the middle father is very satisfied. This callback back to the extraordinary is also a last resort, and the extraordinary will not blame the middle father, right? Cao Cao touched his beard. looked at Lu Rui with satisfaction.

"Don't dare! Everything is subject to the arrangement of the middle father. Lu Rui arched his hand and bowed to Cao Cao, he didn't think about guarding Jiangdong, it was Cao Cao who insisted on guarding Jiangdong by himself, and now that he has returned to Xudu, he can still be lazy, how good!

"Oh?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and withdrew Lu Rui from the acquittal of one party to Xu Du, which was called promotion, but according to officialdom, it was a bright promotion and a secret descent, and Lu Rui didn't mind at all?

"Middle father, after the child returns to Xudu, can he rest in the house?" According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the general of the expedition to the north is to conquer the northern foreigners, and now Hebei has not been pacified, so he can't go around to fight the foreigners, just hug Lao Cao's thigh and rest.

"Good boy! You want to be lazy! Cao Cao suddenly understood, his feelings Lu Rui was still inert and difficult to change, he wanted to stay in Xudu to enjoy Qingfu, and he didn't want to go outside to suffer, no wonder he was so happy to come back from Jiangdong.

"Father Zhong, you can't be like this, since the crown ceremony, the child has basically followed the army to run around, and now Yuan Shao is attacking, and the child is asking for his life to stay in Xu Capital to supervise the transportation of grain for the middle father!"

"Extraordinary, it seems that you were taken by Fengxiao to supervise the transportation of grain? Very good, you can transport grain and straw with the military supervision, you can't stay in Xudu! ”

"Middle Father?"

"Okay, you don't have to say any more, that's it."

"Yes, Father!" Seeing Cao Cao's resolute appearance, Lu Rui couldn't say anything, so he only agreed, and followed Lao Cao to fight the world, and it was really bitter first and then sweet!

"Extraordinary?"

"Middle Father?"

"Are you still used to the days of Jie'er in Moling?"

"Back to the middle father, Jie'er's life in Moling is very comfortable, there is no discomfort, please rest assured!" Damn, put a great god on my house, can I take care of it? She's still my future wife!

"Well, extraordinary, you are not young, when the crisis in Liyang has been resolved, I will marry you and Jie'er, you kid must treat my daughter well, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" Cao Cao suddenly changed his tune and talked about the marriage of his children from national events.

"Yes, middle father, the child will definitely treat Jie'er's sister well."

"Okay, you step down and go see your aunt, she misses you very much, and besides, my father is also old and has been feeling a little unwell recently, so you can go and see him!"

"Yes, Father!" Lu Rui arched his hand, retreated, and went directly to the courtyard of the Ding family and Cao Song.

In the evening, Cao Cao set up a banquet in Sikong Mansion to entertain Lu Rui, and after being full of wine and food, Lu Rui returned to his mansion, and the door number on the mansion had been changed to the General Zhengbei's Mansion.

"Extraordinary, I've been waiting here for a long time." As soon as Lu Rui arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw Guo Jia hanging a wine gourd, waiting for Lu Rui in the front yard.

"Master?"

"Bufan has returned from Sikong Mansion?"

"Why did the master come to my house late at night?"

"Extraordinary, I heard that you brought back a lot of Jiangdong wine from Jiangdong, and presented it to Lord Sikong, did you leave a few jars for the master?"

When Lu Rui heard this, he stumbled, it turned out that Guo Jia was thinking about his wine.

"Master, please come with Rui, it's already ready for the master." Lu Rui was originally going to send someone to Guo Jia tomorrow, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to come to the door.

"Good! Good! Sure enough, it's good wine! After Guo Jia took a sip of Jiangdong rice wine, he touched his mouth, it was fragrant and sweet, and it was really a good wine.

"Extraordinary, do you know the real intention of the lord to recall you from Jiangdong?"

"Intentions? Isn't it just the rotation of state pastors and the suppression of Jiangdong? Lu Rui took a sip of rice wine and glanced at Guo Jia, could there be anything else?

"Extraordinary, do you remember what happened to Zhang Xiu at the beginning?"

"Zhang Xiu's matter?" Lu Rui thought for a moment, Hidden Dragon Star? The people who lurked around Liu Xie at the beginning have not yet been discovered!

"Master, is there a clue to what happened at the beginning?"

"Yes, there are indeed clues to what happened at the beginning, and the lord ordered me and Bufan to find out who was behind the scenes that day."

"I see!" Lu Rui nodded, Cao Cao summoned himself back to have such an intention, to find out the master behind Liu Xie that day! Of one mind! (To be continued......)
