Chapter 19: Calm

The Zhang family was wiped out overnight, and even the children of the family who were sent out of Luoyang in advance were arrested and beheaded together, although the means were very bloody, but they really suppressed those in the city who wanted to see Lu Bu's jokes.

What are these families turning to various forces for? It's not loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, these wealthy families are more realistic, the reason why they are loyal to each gate valve is for the interests of their own family, like the Zhang family, in order to be loyal to Li Tang, so that the entire family is extinct, it is really stupid.

In an instant, the wealthy family who made things difficult for Lu Bu at the beginning was honestly like a good child, no one dared to question Lu Bu's decision, at least before a new enemy appeared in Luoyang, no one would jump out and argue with Lu Bu, the Zhang family had learned from the past, and the entire family was wiped out, this was not a joke.

Since Yang Guang, Lu Bu is the first person who dares to openly destroy the whole clan, although it is inevitable that it will have some impact on Lu Bu's reputation, Cihang Jingzhai is even under the instruction of the new moon, and wantonly attacks Lu Bu in public opinion.

It's just that with the appearance of a person, Cihang Jingzhai's influence was suddenly weakened a lot.

Shi Fei Xuan, preconceived notions, so that in the eyes of the world, she is the orthodoxy of Cihang Jingzhai, especially Shi Fei Xuan earlier on behalf of Cihang Jingzhai, in Luoyang, has an unparalleled influence, and even passed Cihang Jingzhai itself.

This time, as soon as she appeared, she openly supported Lu Bu, which made the rumors that were originally unfavorable to Lu Bu disappear, and many gangs in Luoyang fell to Lu Bu's side under the persuasion of Shi Fei Xuan.

The previous deployments of the new moon, with the appearance of Shi Fei Xuan, fell short, and the Luoyang area, under Lu Bu's decree and Shi Fei Xuan's lobbying, gradually stabilized Lu Bu's regime.

Coupled with the extermination of the Zhang family before, many of those wealthy and powerful people also turned to Lu Bu's side, and under the control of Shen Luoyan, Li Tang's influence in Luoyang was constantly weakened, and gradually faded out of people's sight, until at this time, Lu Bu really controlled Luoyang in his own hands.

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

"Master, the situation in Luoyang has basically been controlled by us, but there should be a lot of hidden dangers in this, and the housewife needs to worry about it." The senior concubine sat behind Lu Bu with a meek face, gently kneading her broad shoulders for Lu Bu, and at the same time reporting to Lu Bu about her feelings when she broke the void, which were rare experiences for Lu Bu.

Because she didn't have a complete soul like Lu Bu, Concubine Ling had to stay for a long time in reality to consolidate her soul, and it was not until now that she succeeded.

"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded, lying down in the middle of the tall ** of the senior concubine, and said lightly: "There is something you need to handle." ”

"Please, master." Shi Fei Xuan said softly.

"Qin Tian and Yun Feng have now gained a firm foothold in Dragon City, and have captured Cloud City, and now they have become the barrier of Taiyuan, with 50,000 troops, and even Li Tang is quite dependent on them." Lu Bu closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Does the master want to take Taiyuan?" Concubine Xuanmei's eyes widened and she looked at Lu Budao.

"Yes, but for the time being, it can't be captured in my name, then it will be attacked by the joint attack of the young marshal army and Li Tang, Qin Tian is the general, I don't have anything to worry about, it's just Yun Feng, after all, his ability is limited, and now he controls the land of the two cities, his management ability has reached the limit, if he wants to improve again, I'm afraid it will take time and experience to accumulate, but now, I don't have so much time to wait slowly." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"I think, let you go over and help the two of them secretly, and take down all the fifteen cities in the border village, the fifteen cities in the border village should not be able to threaten Li Tang, but Li Shimin will definitely take precautions, with your intelligence, the enemy is clear and I am secret, even if the strength of Longcheng is weaker than Li Shimin, it should not be a problem to deal with Li Shimin for a while, are you willing to go?"

"can share the worries of the master, Concubine Xuan is naturally willing." Concubine Xuan said softly: "It's just that although there are soldiers in Dragon City now, except for Qin Tian, there are no suitable generals to lead the troops, so I'm afraid it will be limited." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, this time I will also send Guan Feng and Ding Fan to help you, what you have to do is to secretly eliminate Li Tang's influence in Taiyuan." Lu Bu nodded, now Luoyang is certain, Lu Bu's power has also been settled, if you want to expand in the short term, there is no way, but you can't let Li Shimin be stable, with Lu Bu's understanding of this period of Tang history, once Li Shimin is given a chance, supplemented by the rich land and population, plus Li Shimin has now experienced the change of Xuanwumen and become the emperor, without Li Jiancheng's constraints, Li Yuanji was entangled in Hangu Pass by Shan Xiongxin, and he will soon consolidate his power, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, he should try his best to weaken the foundation of Li Feng before Li Shimin consolidates his power, and Taiyuan is the best place to start.

Once Taiyuan is occupied, Li Tang's territory will be divided into two parts, things can not take care of each other, and it will soon be greatly weakened, without the support of the two states, at that time, Li Shimin is even inferior to Li Mi, even if the hidden danger of Li Yuanji is eliminated, the Li family, which is broken, can no longer compete with Lu Bu, who owns half of the country.

"Remember, concubine." The concubine nodded steadily.

……

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

At this time, Li Shimin, sitting on the throne with one hand on his knees, in the huge palace, there was no one in the desert, even the eunuchs and palace maids, who were driven out by him.

A pair of originally clear eyes, but at this time they were full of haze, Lu Bu can quickly pacify Luoyang, he doesn't care very much, Hangu Pass has Shan Xiong to keep it, as stable as Mount Tai, plus he has just sat on the throne, he also needs to stabilize his forces, it is impossible to free up his hands to attack Luoyang, and Lu Bu is not Wang Shichong, and Li Shimin has no confidence to swallow it in one bite.

Therefore, he doesn't care very much about whether Lu Bu can sit firmly in Luoyang in a short period of time, what really makes him care is Concubine Xuan.

For him, the support of the entire Cihang Jingzhai is not as important as the support of the master concubine Xuan, the goddess of dreams in the past, but now she has thrown herself under the command of others and is against herself, this blow, Rao is Li Shimin's heart, and it is also a little unacceptable.

At this time, he was more like a wounded lone wolf, silently licking his wounds, his eyes gradually became a little cold, and there was a deep haze in the depths of his pupils.

"Your Royal Highness, you haven't eaten for two days, if you continue like this, I'm afraid your body will ......" Xinyue came to Li Shimin's side with a plate of pastries, looking at Li Shimin's sad eyes and the haze under his eyes, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, until this time, she didn't know that the person in Li Shimin's heart turned out to be the concubine Xuan who was squeezed out of Cihang Jingzhai by her.

For the concubine, I can't help but feel a trace of jealousy, the same talent is excellent, the same country and the city, why does the concubine always press him, that is, now, the concubine Xuan has thrown herself into the enemy's account, but Li Shimin is so gloomy, and he hasn't even said a word of resentment.

He didn't understand why Shi Feixuan could be so successful, as soon as she came out of the rivers and lakes, she instantly resolved everything she had worked hard before, which made her feel a sense of frustration in her heart while being jealous.

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at the new moon, and reluctantly said with a smile on his face: "It's hard work." ”

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance in just two days, Xinyue suddenly felt bitter in her heart, Shi Fei Xuan joined Lu Bu's side, she should have been happy, not only on behalf of Shi Fei Xuan's official betrayal of Cihang Jingzhai, but also on behalf of Shi Fei Xuan will never have anything to do with Li Shimin again, but for some reason, Xinyue looked at Li Shimin at this moment, but she was not happy at all.

……

"I'm back." Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun rode a fast horse, went straight into the Bird Garden, and on her beautiful face, handed over the reins of the horse to the maidservant Juan, and walked straight to the direction of the back mountain.

The maids looked at Shang Xiuxun's somewhat lonely back, and their hearts were a little bitter, since the four big men attacked Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun has become a little taciturn, cold as frost, and his demeanor is becoming more and more stable, a little less young girl, but a little more aristocratic stability and elegance, but more and more suitable for the identity of the owner.

It's just that I can't help but be a little estranged from these maids, which makes Fu'er and the others a little gloomy.

Back mountain, in Lu Miaozi's comfort nest, with the easing of the relationship between father and daughter, although Shang Xiuxun still did not call Lu Miaozi his father when he saw him, he no longer objected to Lu Miaozi's existence, and Lu Miaozi gradually came to the front of the stage and became known to everyone.

The two ranch guards saw Shang Xiuxun coming from a distance, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Farm master." ”

"Why are you here?" Shang Xiuxun glanced at the two of them, and in his faint tone, there was an indescribable majesty, which made people feel a sense of pressure in their hearts.

"Today, Mr. Yu Wang's account is visiting, and Mr. Lu has said that others are not allowed to trespass." One of the guards said respectfully.

"Oh?" There was no reaction on Shang Xiuxun's face, but she could clearly feel that her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.

"Can I go in?" Shang Xiuxun tried his best to calm the waves in his heart, and asked in a cold voice.

"Naturally." The two guards hurriedly retreated in panic and let Shang Xiuxun in.

In the comfort nest, Lu Miaozi and Xu Xingzhi talked very happily, at the beginning, Xu Xingzhi was ordered by Lu Miaozi to help Lu Bu, but even Lu Miaozi never thought that in just two years, Lu Bu would have such an achievement, and Xu Xingzhi has now become a pivotal figure under Lu Bu, one person is above the people, even the generals in the army, Luo Cheng, Shan Xiongxin and others, are also respectful to him

"I've seen the owner." Seeing Shang Xiuxun coming in, Xu Xingzhi hurriedly said respectfully, this is not only the daughter of his master, but also likely to become Lu Bu's concubine in the future, and Xu Xingzhi does not dare to be the slightest neglect.

"Mr. Xu's courtesy." Shang Xiuxun replied quite decently, just looking at Xu Xingzhi's eyes, with a hint of expectation, now that Lu Bu has occupied Luoyang, she hopes that Xu Xingzhi will bring Lu Bu's news, about the original agreement, after the initial excitement, it was replaced by two years of loneliness, except for the occasional correspondence, Lu Bu almost never came to Pegasus Ranch, which made Shang Xiuxun a little sad.

It's just that despite this, Shang Xiuxun didn't have half an anxious look on her face, just a faint smile on her face, quietly listening to the conversation between the two, the mutation two years ago, coupled with the experience of the past two years, made her much more mature and stable, and no longer that day, the proud and reckless owner, has become a strong woman who can be calm and calm even in the face of strong winds and waves.

It's just that with the passage of time, Shang Xiuxun gradually became a little anxious in her heart, the conversation between the two revolved around Lu Bu's current situation and Yang Gong's treasure house, and she didn't mention her and Lu Bu's affairs at all, but in front of the void, she was really hard to speak, Shang Xiuxun still had a sense of arrogance in her bones, could she Shang Xiuxun still ask others to marry?

Time passed gradually, and the matter between Xu Xingzhi and Lu Miaozi was finished, and he got up to say goodbye, the expression on Shang Xiuxun's face had become indifferent, and he just nodded lightly and saluted, without the slightest intention of getting up to send him off.

"Ah, by the way, owner, there is one more thing, the prince has repeatedly told you to hand over this thing." As he spoke, he took out a jade box from his arms and handed it to Shang Xiuxun.

"This is ......" Shang Xiuxun looked at Xuan Xingzhi suspiciously, although they didn't know what was inside, they felt that a pure power was constantly emanating from it, which made people feel as if they had been reborn.

"The subordinates don't know, the teacher, the owner, there are still important things to do, so they quit." After saying that, he drifted away.
