Chapter 298: Gunpowder of King Wu and Zuo Immortals
Xu Du.
After Lu Yi led the soldiers into Xudu, he strictly ordered that there would be no offense against the people.
After that, he did not enter the palace directly.
On the one hand, he asked Ma Liang to pacify the people in Xudu City instead of himself, and propagated that the Jiangdong army was a benevolent and righteous army.
On the other hand, he discussed the actions after consulting with Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Tai Shici, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other soldiers.
These include:
First, whether to take advantage of the situation to pursue Yuan Shao.
Second, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, has died, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, who should be pushed out to be the Son of Heaven.
Third, who to send to take Runan.
Fourth, send someone from Xiaopei to aid Xuzhou.
In the end, after discussion, Huang Zhong was sent to lead 4,000 troops to Runan.
Although Runan is still occupied by Yuan Shao, it has been surrounded, and Yuan Shao has withdrawn.
Therefore, it should not be difficult to take Runan.
Huang Zhong took the order and left.
Let Tai Shici be the commander, lead 30,000 bow infantry and 6,000 cavalry, and continue to take advantage of the situation to pursue Yuan Shao's army to Guandu.
After that, he set up camp in Guandu and established a military camp again.
Although he will not go north for the time being, he must always prevent Yuan Shao's army from going south again.
Moreover, it is also necessary to train soldiers.
In the past, the Lujiang Army trained the army in Hefei and the navy in Huixugang.
Today, the area around the river is completely controlled by Jiangdong, and there is no need for such a large naval army.
It is enough to have Cheng Pu's water army.
It is just enough to pull all the Lujiang regiments to Guandu to train the army on the one hand, so that the general can go north or west.
After the official crossing, there is no longer any advance.
Yuan Shao suffered a big defeat this time, but he did not hurt the roots.
Continuing north, it was a long campaign.
The current situation in Jiangdong does not allow for the continuation of the war.
Tai Shi Ci received the order, and took Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin and other generals to directly pull the army from Xudu to Guandu.
After Tai Shici left, Lu Yi ordered Zhang He and Gao Ran to lead 6,000 cavalry from Xiao Pei to aid Xuzhou, forcing back the army of Yuan Shao's eldest son and second son to protect Xuzhou.
After that, it is time to discuss who should be promoted to take over the position of the Son of Heaven.
In the end, everyone discussed and introduced the son of Cao Hua, the daughter of the first emperor Liu Xie and Cao Cao, who was already five years old, as the emperor.
On the ninth day of October in the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Feng officially ascended the throne and became emperor, and changed the year name to Tai'an, implying the meaning of Guotai and Min'an.
In order to commend Wu Hou Lu Yi for his repulsion of Yuan Shao and Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, the new emperor canonized Wu Hou Lu Yi as the king of Wu, added nine tins, built Wu State, and set the capital of the country in Wu County.
Wu State owns the land of the nine counties of Yangzhou, and places hundreds of officials such as prime ministers, captains, and generals.
And there was also news from Tai Shici in front that they had rushed to Guandu and set up camp in Guandu, and Yuan Shao's main army had returned to Yecheng, leaving Chun Yuqiong and other generals to garrison Chenliu.
When Zhang He and Gao Lan led the cavalry from Xiaopei to support Xuzhou, the army of Yuan Shao's eldest son and second son also retreated from Xuzhou.
Yuan Shao's eldest son's army retreated to Puyang.
Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi's army, retreated to Youzhou.
The crisis in Xuzhou is lifted!
On the twentieth day of October in the first year of Tai'an, the new emperor appointed the leading potters as the captain of Huben, and changed the elite of 3,000 Danyang to the forbidden army to guard the capital.
Jiang Wan was appointed as Xu Duling, in charge of public security and other matters in Xu Du.
On October 25 of the first year of Tai'an, Lu Yi, the king of Wu, led 20,000 Jiangdong disciples and 100 Jiangdong civil and military officials to return to Wu.
On the ninth day of November, Lu Yi took the ship that Nangong family greeted and landed in the port of A.
The entire port of Afghanistan is crowded with people.
The civil and military officials and the major families had already received the news that Lu Yi was going to return, and they all rushed to greet him.
This is also the first time that Zhuge Ruoxue has rushed to the port with the entire Lu family to greet him.
Cheng Pu, the governor of the left capital, also led all the officials of the Fourth Army Corps to arrive.
Lu Yi disembarked from the warship surrounded by Nangong Yan and Shi Huan, Chen Gong, Jia Xu and other officials.
Seeing the sea of people in the port chanting "King Wu", Lu Yi let out a long sigh.
From the time to the present, it has lasted eight years, and he has finally changed from the original ordinary person who pretended to be a savage in Wu County, constantly evaded pursuit because of his strange clothes and short hair, but had to often lurk near the crowd to learn the local dialect and official language of this world, and became the king of Wu.
Although he still remembers his original name.
But now the name seems so unfamiliar.
The life before the crossing was also like a dream.
The faces of Lu Kang, Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi and others appeared in his mind, and Lu Yi laughed.
If Lu Kangquan had known, I don't know if he would feel gratified.
He, the former "side branch of the Lu family", has taken the Lu family to the top of the first family in Jiangdong and founded the Wu Kingdom.
Will Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi die without turning a blind eye?
Not only did he destroy the entire Zhou family, but he also sent his only son Zhou Yu down to meet him, and also founded the State of Wu.
Seeing Zhuge Ruoxue hugging Lu Feng and beckoning Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Lu Qiling, Yuan Yin, Huang Yueying, Cao Jie and the children to come up, Lu Yi also greeted him and gave each of them a hug.
Qiao Guolao stood aside, under his long beard, the corners of his mouth were already grinning behind his ears.
Originally, he was called "the old man" by the people of Jiangdong, which was all touted.
Now, with his son-in-law Lu Yi ascending to the top of King Wu, he is a veritable national elder!
After hugging Zhuge Ruoxue and other women, Lu Yi greeted Chen Deng, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu and other ministers one by one.
It wasn't until noon that Lu Yi was able to return to the mansion.
Chen Deng had already prepared a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lu Yi and others.
After the feast, it was late at night.
The ministers of civil and military affairs were drunk one by one.
Even Jia Xu, who has never drunk much on weekdays, was red and crumbling this time.
Lu Yi personally sent these civil and military ministers out of the palace one by one, and stood at the door with Cheng Pu, Chen Deng, Liu Ye, Chen Gong, Yan Xiang, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Nangong Yan, and Shi Huan, looking at the lights everywhere on the streets of Wu County, and let out a long sigh.
Turning his head and looking at everyone, Lu Yi smiled and said, "Everyone, Lone, I didn't live up to you, did I?" ”
Gu Yong, who was already drunk and his face was flushed, smiled and stretched out his fist, and was about to smash it towards Lu Yi's chest.
The fist reached Lu Yi's chest and stopped.
Lu Yi laughed and hit Gu Yong with his chest.
Gu Yong laughed a few times and said, "Never!" ”
"Really!"
"What the minister remembers most now is the scene when Zhu Zhi was ordered by the little overlord to attack Wu County from Qiantang and Fuxian on the night when the two of us trembled."
"At that time, the minister never dreamed that in the near future, this world would belong to us!"
Lu Yi put his arm around Gu Yong's shoulders and said, "So far, we have taken a big step. But that's not enough, our future is limitless! ”
Gu Yong nodded heavily.
Lu Yi looked at Liu Ye again, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Yi said with emotion: "It's a pity that Zijing is not here. ”
At the beginning of the year, Lu Su's grandmother passed away, and Lu Su took Zhang Ying and the child to escort Lu Su's grandmother back to her hometown in Weitai for burial.
Today, Lu Su and his family are still mourning in the polder.
This time, the family did not return.
Liu Ye said: "He must know, and he danced happily." ”
Lu Yi nodded, then looked at Cheng Pu, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Yan Xiang and Zhang Hong, stretched out his hand, and in their stunned eyes, he took their hands one by one and slapped them once.
Lu Yi smiled: "This is our promise. ”
"Let's fight together."
Turning his head and pointing to the government behind him, Lu Yi said with a serious face: "On that day, Gu took over the position of the lord of Jiangdong, and what he said here, Gu would definitely not break his word." ”
"Lonely will be kind to any hero."
"In the past, Emperor Guangwu had the oath of Luoshui, and later there were twenty-eight generals of Yuntai."
"Lone will also have the thirty-six heroes of Nantianmen."
"When we get bigger, when the time comes, Lone will fulfill the next promise."
"Give each of you a chance to be crowned king."
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Zhang Hong helped his beard and said: "The old minister will not think of being a king. ”
"The old minister is fifty years old."
"Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, it's enough."
Looking at Lu Yi, Zhang Hong's eyes were full of admiration and said, "The old minister has only one idea now. ”
Pointing to the top of his head, Zhang Hong said word by word: "I hope that in my lifetime, I can watch King Wu move forward step by step, step by step, and finally, reach the top of that position." ”
Lu Yi hugged Zhang Hong's shoulders and exhaled, "Lone will work hard." But you are also needed. Without you, loneliness is nothing. ”
Everyone became serious and said, "I am willing to swear allegiance to my king!" ”
Lu Yi talked to everyone for a while, and asked everyone to go back to rest early, and then the things were even more onerous, so he returned to Lu's house under the protection of Nangong Yan and Shi Huan.
The Lu family is still brightly lit.
Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhu Ran, Cheng Shi, Zhou Fang, Huang Xu and other young generations all gathered in the courtyard of the Lu family's mansion, which was very lively.
Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang stood together, Zhuge Liang was gesturing something, and Lu Xun listened attentively.
Lu Ji said something to Zhu Ran and Zhou Fang.
Lu Ji had a smile on his face.
Zhu Ran looked excited.
Zhuge Jin stood with Cheng Pu's son Cheng Shi and Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu, muttering quietly.
When everyone saw Lu Yi coming back, they all stopped talking, quickly surrounded him, and saluted Lu Yi in unison: "Family master!" ”
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Why are you gathering here to go to bed so late?" ”
Everyone looked at Zhou Fang in unison.
Zhou Fang smiled, rushed into the house, and after a while, came out with an iron box.
Everyone looked at the iron box with excitement on their faces.
Lu Yi also looked over curiously.
Zhou Fang placed the iron box on the open space and motioned for everyone to take ten steps back.
After that, he took out a fire fold, walked in front of Lu Yi, and said with a serious face: "Family master, this is the treasure we got from the Zuo Immortals, specially for the celebration of the canonization of King Wu by the family master!" ”
"Last year, during the Three Dynasties, the head of the family said, what can be brilliant in the sky, what is it called?"
Lu Xun said angrily: "Fireworks!" ”
Zhou Fang nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's called fireworks!" ”
Looking at Lu Yi, Zhou Fang said excitedly: "Although Zuo Immortal is not as gorgeous as the head of the family, he is also very good-looking!" ”
Lu Yi: "."
Zuo Ci has researched the gunpowder formula to the right proportion?
After Zhou Fang finished speaking, he ran to the edge of the iron box and opened the iron box.
Inside lay a box full of black powder granules.
Zhou Fang threw the fire fold into the powder particles in the iron box, and rushed away, hurriedly screaming: "Backwards! Back! A little bit later! ”
Lu Yi was also pushed by him and took a few steps back again.
After about ten breaths, only a "bang" sound was heard.
Purple flames more than ten meters high burst out of the iron box, illuminating all sides of the courtyard!
Zhou Fang and the others screamed excitedly!
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said to Lu Yi: "Brother-in-law, congratulations on becoming King Wu!" ”
The others also saluted Lu Yi and said, "Congratulations to the head of the family on becoming the king of Wu!" ”
