Xu Gong looked at Lu Yi: "......"

This head of the Lu family is young, but he has a lot of eyes!

Every time I asked him, he said no more, no less.

How much is no more, no less?

It can be seen that Lu Yi obviously didn't tell his plan, and although Xu Gong was extremely uncomfortable, he couldn't speak.

This Lu Yi promised not to cause trouble, and also helped himself to raise customers, and even gave himself 10% of the benefits of the business.

It's really pushing him into a hurry, and then these will be gone.

What he is most afraid of is that he and Zhu Zhi of Qiantang County and Fuchun County will join forces.

Xu Gong let out a long breath.

So, he has always hated these families.

With these families, those who are officials are constrained everywhere!

At noon, the group rushed to the county office of Wucheng County.

The gate of the county government is closed!

There wasn't a single official around!

There are already a lot of people gathered here.

All of them are the bandit leaders in the area of Wu County and Huiji, and the chiefs of the Baiyue people.

The so-called Baiyue people actually refer to the major powerful clans in the South China Sea, Wu County, and Huiji.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Nanhai and Wu County, especially the area of Huiji, have been full of miasma, many poisonous insects, too little arable land, and the people often have no food to eat.

In order to seize the limited arable land, water and other materials, there are often fights and even fights.

Both sides will call in for help.

Over time, everyone reported to the group for warmth, forming a group.

These groups are similar to the existence of a family, but it is not a family.

Officials in this area refer to these groups collectively as strong clans, which means strong families.

The leaders of these powerful clans are collectively known as chiefs.

In the South China Sea, Wu County, and especially in the area of Huiji, this kind of strong clan is everywhere, so it is also collectively called the Baiyue people.

There is a very obvious difference between the Baiyue people and the bandits in terms of dress and appearance.

Ordinary thieves are still obedient and educated people, they abide by filial piety, and they also abide by the "body and skin, and the parents who receive it", and they will not shave their hair easily.

As for the Baiyue people, they grew up in a place full of miasma and poisonous insects, and the weather was hot and humid.

In order to prevent poisonous insects, and also to remove heat, they have always had the habit of keeping their hair short.

When Lu Yi, Xu Gong and others arrived, these gathered people formed a distinct difference in position.

The bandit leaders almost all stood on the left.

Although there are more than a dozen large and small groups, ranging in number from a dozen to dozens of people, they are centered on two exceptionally tall people in the middle.

And the crowd of Baiyue stood scattered on the right, looking like a plate of loose sand.

Compared to the bandits, each of these bandits is significantly more numerous.

Seeing Lu Yi and Xu Gong coming, they were followed by a long procession, and these bandit leaders and the chieftains of Baiyue were a little confused.

Among the bandits, the two big men who were surrounded in the center glanced at each other and greeted each other first.

Among the crowd of Baiyue, there were also two groups that greeted them.

The carriage stopped.

Lu Da lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Xu Gong walked out first, and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's been a long time! ”

Behind Xu Gong was Lu Yi.

When the thieves and the people of Baiyue saw that it was Xu Gong, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Two tall men walked up quickly.

Xu Gong smiled and pointed to the big man on the left and said to Lu Yi: "Master Lu, this is Brother Yan Baihu. ”

He pointed to the big man on the right and said, "This is Yan Yu, the younger brother of Brother Yan Baihu." ”

Looking at Lu Yi, Xu Gong said with a smile: "Brother Yan Baihu's original name was not this, because he left home as a thief and was driven away by his parents, he was angry, so he changed his name to Baihu, and he was as powerful as a white-fronted tiger." ”

"Brother Yan Baihu is the leader of this area in Wucheng County, and he has thousands of people under his hands."

"However, as long as the appropriate supplies are paid and a certain number of young people are handed over regularly, the two brothers are still very well-behaved."

Lu Yi nodded at the two brothers, Yan Baihu and Yan Yu.

No wonder they dared to meet at the gate of the county government in Wucheng County.

It's no wonder that Xu Gong didn't dare to do anything with them.

There are thousands of people under his hands, and this is already a prince.

It's just that Lu Yi can't show his cowardice now.

These bandit leaders and the chiefs of the Baiyue crowd are obviously very good at bullying people.

Once timid, they will climb up the pole.

Moreover, in memory, Yan Baihu and Yan Yu brothers are completely cowardly.

Especially Yan Yu, when he met Sun Ce, he was directly cut down by Sun Ce in front of countless bandits.

It is enough to see that they cannot be exalted.

When Yan Baihu and Yan Yu saw Lu Yi facing him, they didn't pay attention to it, and their faces were ugly.

Although their old nest is in Wucheng County, their influence is spread throughout Wu County.

Even Xu Gong, the county guard of Wu County, called them brothers.

How dare a family patriarch despise them so much!

Glancing at the hundreds of men behind the carriage, the two brothers glanced at each other and nodded secretly.

This should be all the elites of the Lu family.

The people of the Lu family would never dare to fight hard with themselves.

Otherwise, if these people die, the Lu family will be finished.

As a result, these people look strong, but there is no need to be afraid.

Yan Yu grabbed Lu Yi, who was about to face the other bandit leaders, and sneered: "Lu family master, you seem to be a little too cold to my two brothers, right?" Why, look down on us? Although there are only a dozen of us who came to the county government this time, there are all our people in this vicinity. ”

Xu Gong looked at this scene and did not make a sound.

He also wanted to use these bandit leaders and the chieftains of the Baiyue people to suppress Lu Yi's arrogance.

In this way, the Lu family can be better controlled in the future.

Seeing this, the other bandit leaders began to coax.

For these bandits, Yan Baihu is equivalent to being a handsome and a leader.

The marshal and the chief leader wanted to deal with this Lu family master, and they could only agree.

The chiefs of Baiyue on the side also looked at this scene coldly.

They also wanted to see the courage of the Lu family.

If he doesn't have the courage to deal with these bandits, then he is not qualified to do business with them.

Lu Yi glanced at Yan Yu and said with a smile: "Does my brother think I'm young?" Or do you think my Lu family doesn't need to be afraid? ”

Yan Yu grinned and said, "It's all there, what's the matter?" In Wu County, even the county guard has to give us three points. You are a little family patriarch, how dare you be so cold! Why, are you looking down on my tens of thousands of brothers in Wu County? ”

Lu Yi nodded and said, "It's a little." ”

Yan Yu pulled out the big knife at his waist and said angrily: "Bold-"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yi said to Shi Huan and Xu Shu: "Do it!" ”

Five hundred Danyang soldiers quickly surrounded all the bandits on the left in the middle!

Shi Huan didn't say a word, he directly rushed into the bandits, and the big knife in his hand slashed and killed like chopping melons and vegetables!

Five hundred Danyang soldiers followed Tao Qian, followed the chariot general Huangfu Song, fought all the way to the Yellow Turban, fought against the Qianghu tribe, and survived from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain to the present.

How can you be afraid of a group of bandits?

Moreover, in the past few years, they have also been secretly training in Guangling County.

Originally, Tao Qian was going to take them out of Xuzhou and go to their hometown in Danyang County to gain a foothold.

Unfortunately, Tao Qian finally fell ill and died.

Over the years, they have cooperated with each other very tacitly.

In a short time, these bandits fell in a pool of blood!

Shi Huan directly killed Yan Baihu and Yan Yu.

Seeing this, Xu Shu was busy protecting Lu Yi.

Seeing that the fight had begun, Lu Su asked Lu Da to lead ten people and Shi Huan to besiege Yan Baihu and Yan Yu's brothers, and at the same time led others to protect Lu Yi and Xu Gong in the middle.

The battle was one-sided.

The hundreds of people on the side watched this scene and took a breath one by one.

They were a little scared!

These people brought by the Lu family are much more terrifying than those in the government.

Trained.

It feels like a border guard!

Seeing that Yan Baihu and Yan Yu were about to be killed, Xu Gong hurriedly said to Lu Yi: "Master Lu, misunderstanding!" Misunderstand! Stop there! If you continue to kill them, everyone will be enemies, how to do business? ”

Lu Yi nodded and said, "Stop!" ”

Shi Huan glared at Yan Baihu viciously, and there was a posture of going up to fight if he didn't agree with him.

The five hundred Danyang soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.

Yan Baihu and Brother Yan Yu looked at the dozens of bandit corpses under their feet, but none of these Lu family corpses, their faces were very pale.

It's too strong!

The Lu family mainly didn't stop it, and it felt like they had been killed before they could recruit anyone else!

Yan Baihu looked at Lu Yi, glanced around at Danyang Bing and said, "Dare to ask the Lu family master, these strong men—"

Lu Yi said honestly: "They are all Danyang veterans who survived with the chariot general Huangfu Song, not only killed the Yellow Turban Thief, but also defeated the Hu people. Now, they follow my Lu family. ”

The crowd exploded.

"Hu Ren!"

"They actually survived the fight against the Hu people!"

"It is rumored that the Hu people are fierce and abnormal, and they are good at riding and shooting."

Lu Yi ignored these people's discussions, but said to Xu Gong: "Xu Junshou, please continue to introduce other heroes." ”

Xu Gong also glanced at the Danyang soldiers around him with some fear, nodded, and took Lu Yi to meet with everyone.

The strongest of the bandits and the Baiyue people who came this time, in addition to Yan Baihu and Yan Yu brothers, are the chiefs of the Baiyue people, Hong Ming, Hong Jin, Yuan Yu, Wu Fu, Huadang and others.

Just after a wave of shock, Lu Yi asked Qiao Hao and Fang Hao to come out again, and gave each bandit leader and the chiefs of Baiyue a different amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

Deterrence is to make them dare not make up their minds when they do business in the future.

The gold, silver and jewelry were sent to let them understand that the Lu family had enough financial resources to ensure the flow of materials between them.

After sending the gold, silver and jewelry, Lu Yi and Xu Gong sat in the main position, and let Qiao Hao and Fang Hao come out as the principals of the Lu family's business with these bandits and Baiyue people in the future.

Qiao Hao informed everyone about the types of business that the Lu family did with these bandits and Baiyue, and showed the Lu family's customized prices.

The whole process lasted almost an hour.

These bandit leaders and the chiefs of Baiyue were quite satisfied.

From Qiao Hao's mouth, they learned that they could rely on selling all kinds of ores, medicinal herbs, trees, etc., in exchange for food from the Lu family.

Food, for these bandits and the crowd, is the most important!

And now there is a drought everywhere, and there are government blocks, and food is what they lack the most.

Now, when the Lu family comes forward to help them get these grains, they can't wait for it.

Moreover, the Lu family is also very bold and willing to send people to their various nests to trade.

After the explanation, Qiao Hao and these bandit leaders and the chiefs of Baiyue agreed on the approximate time of the first transaction and the approximate amount of grain, and then followed Lu Yi, Xu Gong and others to leave Wucheng County and return to Wu County.

On the tenth day of his return to Wu County, Xu Gong sent fifty guests.

Lu Yi arranged them under Shi Huan and treated them like guests.

After three months, Qiao Hao led some members of the Lu family to form a convoy and went to Jingzhou and other places to buy grain, rouge raw materials and other materials.

The clansmen of the Lu family divided a part and specialized in making rouge.

And Qiao Hao also successfully took the grain purchased from Jingzhou and made the first transaction with the bandits and Baiyue people in Wujun and Huiji.

On December 30 of the first year of Xingping, on this day, it was snowing heavily, and Lu Yi was drinking some hot water and pastries in the hall with Zhuge Ruoxue, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Lu Su, Lu Su's grandmother, Xu Shu, Xu Shu's mother, Lu Ji, Lu Xun, Sheng Xian, Gao Dai, Gao Dai's mother, Nangong Yan and others in the hall.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside.

Everyone looked at each other suspiciously.

I saw a figure wearing a cloak and a hat walking over.

It was Qiao Hao.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao hurriedly got up, walked outside the threshold, took off Qiao Hao's hat, took off his coat, and shook off the snow on it.

Xiao Qiao said, "Father, why did you come back today?" My sister and I are still worried that you won't be able to come back on the first day of this year! ”

Qiao Hao looked at Lu Yi, who was kneeling by the stove in the room, and said, "Fang Hao and I are going to Shouchun to sell rouge, and the business is not bad." Originally, I was going to come back after selling rouge, but who knows, I heard two terrible news, so I hurried back. ”

Lu Yi hurriedly stood up, went up with hot tea and said, "Take a sip of hot tea to warm up." ”

Qiao Hao thanked him, took the hot tea, took a sip, and then walked into the hall and said, "The first news, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei fought in Huaiyin last month, and Liu Bei was defeated. If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, Yuan Shu's army would have continued to attack the city. ”

Lu Yi: "......"

Sure enough, Liu Bei still took the old road of history.

Even if he gets Xuzhou, he can't hold it at all.

Qiao Hao knelt next to Sheng Xian, stretched out his hand, covered it on the stove, and continued: "The second news, Sun Ce has recruited nearly six thousand soldiers in Liyang in the past six months, and the ship has been built. As soon as spring begins next year, it should be a great river. ”

"It is said that these 6,000 soldiers have the support of the Zhou family, and there are enough weapons and food."

"I've been around and seen it, it's well trained!"

"Moreover, I saw the trilogy of the little son of the Zhou family."

"Our Wu County, nine times out of ten, is not guaranteed."

When everyone heard Qiao Hao say this, they all looked at Lu Yi.

Sheng Xian hurriedly said: "Master of the Lu family, what are the plans of the Lu family?" Moving again? Or do you want to aid Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao and fight against Sun Ce together? ”
