Yang Xiu glanced at him, but he didn't pierce Lu Bu's shallow heart at all.

This time Liu Bei killed Yuan Shu for the sake of the court, but Cao Cao took this opportunity to attack Xuzhou, and the whole court was full of righteous indignation, only Lu Bu was very careful and did not show any attitude, and finally Dong Cheng went to ask for a thief.

No one in the Manchu Dynasty was a fool, and he immediately understood what Lu Bu was thinking:

Liu Bei was kind to him, but he coveted this little comfort of Luoyang, and he was afraid of Cao Cao's strength and was unwilling to help.

Now, if he hears that Liu Bei was captured or killed by Cao Cao, how can this general who sat back and watched Engong's suffering not feel guilty?

But this guilt will soon pass, and the other will not be so easily forgotten.

Yang Xiu's voice was clear and clear, but when he talked about the battle situation, there was a trace of extremely obvious excitement.

"Lu Lian is in the south of Xiapi City, Maling Mountain, breaking Cao's army, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies, Cao Cao has returned to Yanzhou in a hurry, unknown life and death!"

Lu Bu turned his face abruptly and glared at him.

But this Lang Zhong didn't seem to notice Lu Bu's frightened and complicated gaze at all, and continued to excitedly shout the good news to him.

"This General Lu is really famous all over the world now, although Han Bai is alive, I'm afraid he is not as good as her! She has now been relieved of the danger of Pi, and Liu Xuande is safe! Yang Xiu was so forgetful that he actually reached over and grabbed Lu Bu's hand, and shook it cordially and movingly, "I heard that Liu Envoy Jun is kind to Wenhou, and Wenhou must be worried about the war in Xuzhou day and night, so I came to report the good news!" ”

The room was quiet for a while, and Lu Bu suddenly slapped his thigh exaggeratedly.

"I knew Xiao Lu was a good one! With her, I shouldn't have been so worried about tea and dinner! ”

"Liu Envoy's recital has arrived in Luoyang, and the Son of Heaven wants to make the ministers discuss it at the court meeting tomorrow, how to reward it——"

"With Xiao Lu's military exploits and fame, with her conduct! What's so up for grabs! Lu Bu said loudly, "She should have been made a marquis a long time ago!" ”

"Really?" Yang Xiu said with a smile, "My father has always come to see Wen Hou, and Wen Hou has a good relationship with the generals of Xuzhou, so he specially ordered to come to inquire, Wen Hou said so, and he was relieved to be in the future!" ”

Of course he would say that, what else could he say?

Yang Xiu had already left, and Yan did not appear again very obediently.

When a servant came to him and asked him if he wanted to eat, he was impatiently sent away, so that no one bothered him, and he was left alone in the room for a while.

As the sun sets, the house gradually turns from light to dark.

His eyes widened as he looked carefully at the dim, golden-red light on the wall, as if it were going to nail it there, but it fled as fast as it could.

He seemed to be doing something wrong again, he thought.

Is it really because Yang Xiu came to the door on purpose to seek his opinion? The princess of the family has always looked down on him, what is his opinion worth asking?

But they used to look down on Xiao Lu like this.

At the beginning, because she was from a humble background and was a woman, Liu Bei named her a special driver, which was already shocking to the world, which made the court have a lot of shame.

But since when did those Zang slowly change?

Did it start with her rescuing the homeless?

Did it start with her breaking Shouchun?

Is it because she heard that the sovereign was besieged, and she could stay in Lujiang and lead the land by herself, but she still had to rush back to rescue the sovereign?

Whether it is Lujiang or Huainan, there are some mountains and rivers far from Luoyang, so there are all kinds of rumors at the beginning, they say that it is a rumor that she saved the homeless people, that she broke Shouchun is a rumor, and then they swear that she will turn her back on the lord.

Because what is the use of those lowly warriors to be famous?

Where do they know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are?

If anyone wants to refute them, the ministers will also quote the scriptures and speak the truth.

But such an argument never takes place in the court.

- No one will judge whether Lu Lian will turn his back on the monarch in the court, because everyone is watching! There is a living example standing there!

An example of a humble background, brave and promoting, trusted and promoted by the lord, but turned his back on the lord because of his lack of greed!

Why wouldn't she follow the same example, selling her reputation like Wang Mang, but acting like Lu Bu?

The sky had completely darkened, hiding the middle-aged man sitting next to the desk in the dark, and his depressed face was also hidden in the dark.

He had already fully imagined that at tomorrow's court meeting, there might still be some ministers who were hesitant about how to reward Lu Lian.

But the highly respected Shangshu Ling Yang Biao had already given his attitude, so this matter would definitely move towards that predetermined result after some controversy.

——Since Lu Lian, there is no one in the world to underestimate the martial arts, because there is such an example of loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness, and his conduct can almost compete with the sun and the moon!

However, however, he could have saved Liu Bei, and he could also fight side by side with Xiao Lu, if he hadn't hesitated, if he hadn't pushed Dong Cheng according to Wei Xu's strategy, would he have a stroke on Liu Bei's performance now?

…… This is more bitter than the loss of Xuzhou, and more bitter than Liu Bei being captured or killed in battle.

She turned out to be just a handyman in his house, and if she only talked about wealth and wealth, she was still inferior to him.

But now she not only has soldiers, territory, but also is about to have a knighthood, and she also has the world's prestige to leave a name in history.

Lu Bu thought so confusedly, how did she go all the way in front of him?

He also used his scheming, wanting to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, so that Dong Cheng and Cao Cao competed, he was a good fisherman, he wanted to gain a foothold in Luoyang wholeheartedly, but what did he do wrong?

Lu Bu thought for a while, and felt that he seemed to have thought it through, but he still hadn't thought it through, so he decided to ask someone to bring a pot of wine.

What does the strategy offered by Wei Xu mean, Lu Bu saw what was beneficial to him, Wei Xu of course also had his plan, and Zhang Miao just wanted to rescue Xuzhou and Xiapi.

None of these people who could push forward this war had seriously thought about what this strategy meant for the people of Yanzhou.

When the envoys of the imperial court left Luoyang with the tiger button copper seal of Ji Tinghou and rushed to Xuzhou, Zang Hong's soldiers and horses also received Yuan Shao's orders and went all the way south.

He guards Dongjun, which is very close to Juancheng, and the people of Yanzhou and Dongjun usually have close contacts. Zang Hong and Cao Cao are both the kind of people who can govern the territory of Qingping, although the difference is that Cao Cao is good at war, while Zang Hong does not have such ambitions, but the people living in this land are still very peaceful.

Their fathers, husbands, and sons went out to war, leaving their wives and children to work and weave at home.

Because when their relatives return to their homeland, they must bring back considerable rewards and booty.

Maybe it's cloth, maybe it's grain, and a lot of money, in addition to bringing back some bronze utensils, clothing, livestock, large and small, all kinds of dazzling.

So the women and children were busy washing the blood from the booty, wiping them clean one by one, and arranging them in sorts.

Some of them are kept by their own families, and some can also be used in the market for other household uses, and the one was very careful when it was moved back by her husband, and even the black paint was not knocked off, so it is better to stay for her daughter as a dowry......

The women must have laughed and laughed when they discussed such things, full of anticipation for tomorrow's day.

But now, along with Aunt Weng and their children, they are piled in a twisted manner in front of or behind the house, with only the fire of mercy covering their bodies.

Everywhere the Xiliang people passed, all the villages were as silent as death, and there was only a shocking scene of a raging fire, which burned for several days and did not burn it out.

The war horse suddenly took a step back, leading Zang Hong to look down at the river of blood under his feet.

The blood river that meandered under Juancheng and stretched throughout Yanzhou.

Chapter 299

It will take some time to invite Chu Wu to do it, and of course no one will stay where they are and wait.

The officials need to rebuild the city, the people want to rebuild their homes, and Liu Bei needs to stay in his barracks and accept the continuous feeding of the entire Xuzhou family.

Those heroes who have become capitulationist under Boss Cao's repeated plunders have all come over, offering millet and wheat for the birth of the new king, and are ready to brush up on the lord's favorability after this war.

There was nothing urgent for her to deal with here, so after the banquet, she quickly left Xiapi, with more than a thousand foot soldiers, as well as less than 1,000 cavalry, and some people, preparing to return to Qingzhou from Langya to repel Yuan Tan.

From Xiapi to the north, it can really be called the withering people's livelihood and full of desolation.

She is very familiar with this way, when she used to go back and forth to Xiapi, she would often stop on the road, buy some food and drink, and rest her feet, she knew where there was a set, and the Hu cakes sold were very crispy and delicious, and Siniang loved to eat them; Knowing where there is a jujube forest, when the dates are ripe, you can buy a pack and bring it to the second master, who is a little confused every time he receives the dates......

But the bazaars were gone, and there were only a few lonely old people left in those villages who were watching Zhuangzi, and the Qingzhou refugees who had fled here.

"After this, General," cried the old man, "there will be more people after here." ”

"Too many people?"

"There are a lot of people from Beihai County! There is not enough food to eat! I don't know when they'll be able to go back! The old man complained loudly, regardless of the embarrassed and aggrieved expressions of the homeless people behind him.

"It's going to be soon!" She shouted, "When we go back, they will be able to go back!" ”

"That's great!" The old man excitedly tapped the ground with his cane, then looked at her team, "General, why is there so much less than when you went?" ”

Lu Hangyu sat on the horse and wanted to smile at the old man, but he couldn't.

"They're all behind," Tai Shi Ci Ce stepped forward immediately, "and they're all following!" ”

As I slowly went north, there were more people along the way, and there were more disputes.

Some of the people who had returned home from Xiapi found that there were more strangers in the village and had taken up their mud houses, and they immediately angrily tried to drive them away.

In some villages, there were many people who returned to their hometowns, and they successfully drove the Qingzhou people away; Some villages are sparsely populated, and the people of Qingzhou live in a dead face, either begging or playing tricks, so that they are going to spend this winter......

"At least, at least wait until the battle is over!" They begged and cried, "We don't want to leave our homeland!" ”

"You can go to Yangdu!" Some people couldn't bear to let them stay, and some were not so easy to convince, "Didn't you say that Chen was in charge of Yangdu?" and the Lang Jun of the Zhuge family......"

"In that place in Yangdu, the roofs are almost crowded with people! Peeing upstairs, I thought it was raining downstairs! How can you live there! ”

…… It's a bit of an exaggeration, she thought, too much.

…… Yangdu is really such an exaggerated place.

From south to north, she was still more than ten miles away from Yangdu, and there were already tents and small shacks everywhere in the fields and beside the dirt road.

The men went out into the woods in groups to harass the animals, and they would hit whatever they saw, and they could carry everything back.

The women frantically peeled the bark of the trees, dug up the roots of the grass, and were dexterous with their hands and feet, and carried the spinning wheel, and they could spin a little thread and exchange it for a little grain mixed with a lot of chaff.

The children had a lot of fun, they could gather firewood at the edge of the forest, after all, it was freezing cold, and the poor had little clothing, and if the fire could not be regenerated, they would freeze to death.

There were many fire pits and pyres between the tents and the huts, so the servants would always shuttle through them with a few handymen with big shoulders and waists, and shout at those who put their own fires too close to other people's tents.

"You stupid asses! It's just a little bit of tatter to burn your own house! If you burn down someone else's tent and cause people's lives, what will you pay? ”

“…… Isn't his scolding a little ugly? "She was a little dissatisfied.

"It's a little," Xu Shu smiled, "but that's just right." ”

“…… Why? ”

"How does the general feel when he sees these little officials pointing fingers among the homeless people?"

She blinked, "It must be disgruntled." ”

"The general will be dissatisfied because the general doesn't need that little official," Xu Shu said, "but the homeless people are different." ”
