Chapter Seventy-Five: Lu Bu Comes to Vote

Xuzhou is not as good as Qingzhou, and people's livelihood has withered for a long time. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xuzhou experienced hundreds of battles of all sizes, and it was already a mess. This time, Cao Cao's army successively conquered more than ten cities, Cao Jiang conquered Guangwei in a ban, along Surabaya to Pengcheng, and the counties along the route were killed, which undoubtedly made Xuzhou, which had not recovered its vitality, even worse.

A hundred miles to the southwest, it is difficult to see people.

Xuzhou's original strategists Sun Qian and Chen Deng were relied on by Tao Qian as their right-hand men, and after I took office, they were promoted to military captains, responsible for farmland reclamation and other matters. With the efforts of Sun Qian and Chen Deng, Xuzhou's agricultural production has been restored and developed, and "japonica rice has been harvested". The two also gave a lot of ideas for stabilizing Mingxin, the first of which was to post notices to reassure the people and let the fleeing people return to their hometowns. In addition, following the example of the Shang Dynasty in the Qin period, the government supported small farmers to build fortifications for the government, and the government gave generous subsidies.

This has had a miraculous effect in a few months, and many people have supported me and sent me an umbrella. This made me feel for the first time that being an official was really an addiction.

Xiao Hanyi was worried, at this time the four northern states were actually in danger: Gongsun Zhan occupied Youzhou, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Yanzhou was occupied by Cao Cao, Sizhou (Chang'an, Luoyang) was occupied by Dong Zhuo, although I sat on the two states of Qingxu, but fell into the siege of the major princes, if I do not work hard, I am afraid that the two states will not be protected.

In the past year or so, Xiao Hanyi has incorporated the Montenegrin Marshal Zhang Yan and the surrounding Yellow Turban Army bandits, and the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou are naturally strong and strong. At the same time, after listening to Xiao Hanyi's suggestion, because of my alliance with Gongsun Zhan, in order to prevent Yuan Shao's sneak attack, I deployed 100,000 troops on the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou, and another 100,000 troops on the border between Yanzhou and Xuzhou to prevent Cao Cao.

After more than half a year like this, the spies sent reported that Dong Zhuo was arrogant and arrogant, robbed Lu Bu's woman Diao Chan, and was killed by Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo's subordinates Li Dao and Guo Yan led Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and fought with Lu Bu, Lu Bu was defeated, and attacked Cao Cao's base camp Yanzhou, which coincided with Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou's class division, and saved Yanzhou by mistake.

However, it is said that after Cao Cao defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan, he moved the little emperor to Xudu. Since then, the imperial court orders have been issued from Xudu, Cao Cao proclaimed himself the general Wuping Marquis, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the momentum is strong, it is said that there are 300,000 people who control the strings.

On this day, I am fighting crickets with Zhang Fei, my cricket "general" is wise and martial, has won three games in a row, Zhang Fei's cricket "Xiaoqiang" is invincible, scolding his mother loudly, but he can hear the scout to report, there is a military horse on the border of Xuzhou with the banner of "Lu", coming to my Xuzhou Tancheng.

"Probe!" I commanded the scouts. The scouts went down, and I hurriedly summoned Liu Bei's three brothers, Xiao Hanyi, Xu Qianxue and others to discuss, this is clearly Lu Bu's army, but how to deal with it?

Zhang Fei didn't like Lu Bu the most, probably because he misheard his "Yan Ren" as a "eunuch" that day, and said angrily at the moment: "Brother...... Brother, I ...... 500 ...... That horse, and Lu Bu duel...... Fight to the death!"

Liu Bei said: "The third brother is reckless! This Lu Bu's martial arts are world-famous, and he didn't take the wrong medicine today and had diarrhea, how can you be his opponent alone? Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, and now he has nowhere to go, how dare he come to attack my Xuzhou? You must know that Brother Duan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I thought about it, Lu Bu and this guy must come to us. ”

"Is that true?" I asked.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll see when we go out and meet Lu Bu. Liu Bei said.

So, I and the others led 500 soldiers to intercept Lu Bu. Seeing that Lu Bu only had more than 500 military horses, they were all depressed, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, although he was still in good spirits, but it was difficult to hide his tiredness. Seeing that I was coming with soldiers and horses, Lu Bu dismounted, handed over Fang Tian's painting halberd to his subordinates, walked a hundred steps, hugged his fists and saluted: "Little brother, I haven't seen you for many days!"

I also hugged my fists and said, "Hello General Lu, I don't know what is the matter with bringing troops here today?"

"Since I killed Dong Zhuo a few days ago, I have no place to stand, and I wanted to take Yanzhou as the foundation, but I didn't expect Cao Cao's soldiers to be strong and strong, and I am not his opponent. Therefore, when the desperate army was defeated, he also asked Brother Duan to look at the benevolence and righteousness of the past and give him a place to live. Good people also have a place to live. ”

I looked behind me, and sure enough, there was a carriage in the procession, and it seemed that it was Diao Chan inside. As soon as I thought of Diao Chan, my heart immediately moved, and her posture and face immediately appeared in front of me.

I retracted my imagination and saliva, and said loudly: "Liu Yuanjun, General Lu was defeated and surrendered, it is rare to look up to my little brother, what do you think of this matter?"

When Liu Bei heard me say this, he said: "General Lu is a hero of the world, if he can help me in Xuzhou, it will be a great blessing for the people of Xuzhou! Another city in Xuzhou is called 'Xiaopei', which is the gateway to Xuzhou, and it is suitable for garrisoning troops. I wonder if General Lu dislikes it?"

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "But please arrange it with Little Brother and Liu Yuanjun." ”

At that moment, he asked Lu Bu to lead the troops to Xiaopei. Xu Qianxue was sullen and said, "Then Lu Bu saw that you were young, a little brother, and he didn't take you seriously at all. ”

I joked and said, "Oh, you can think about it for my husband." In terms of age, I am indeed inferior to him, and in terms of martial arts, I am no match for him, and it is okay to call him a little brother. ”

Xu Qianxue snorted and said, "Nonsense! Who is your wife?"

I wanted to tease a few more words, but when I saw Xiao Hanyi on the side, he looked confused, stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly slipped back to the city.

However, he said that the news spread quickly, and that I had just taken in Lu Bu for less than half a month, and first Gongsun Zhan sent a letter of congratulations, saying, "Congratulations to Brother Duan for winning the world's number one fierce general, and now the conquest is worry-free"; Kong Rong sent a messenger to say, "If you get Lu Bu alone, you can win the world."

But how can Lu Bu be a person who can be subservient to others for a long time?

Besides, I promised Mr. Shuijing, the old bull nose, to kill Lu Bu and thank him for his kindness.

I was troubled, and on this day, the court suddenly issued a decree asking me to go and receive the decree. I awkwardly thanked the "Lord" of Longen, opened the edict and saw it, but it was a secret edict, writing: Lu Bu's father, Dong Zhuo, once imprisoned and abused the Han Emperor, which was really a great evil, and now the army is defeated and poor, and I am called to kill him to show the world, the power of the Han court, etc. In the end, I was also appointed as the commander of Xuzhou, the general of the Eastern Expedition, Yicheng Tinghou.

I don't know what these titles are for, but as a result, my official position is getting bigger and bigger.

But at this moment, my head is as big as a fight, how can this emperor be idle and have nothing to do, and give me this edict, I just took in Lu Bu and killed him, but let me deal with it. Besides, although I have the power of the soldiers and horses in the two states, I am still in a trance, I don't know if it is the authentic Hanchen?

Liu Bei has rich experience as an official, and this matter should not be known to everyone, so I invited him to admire the moon at night and told him about the secret edict of the imperial court. Liu Bei took the edict and read it three times, gritted his teeth and said: "Since the imperial court ordered me to kill Lu Bu, since we are Hanchen, we should act in accordance with the edict." If you don't obey, you can't afford the crime of disobeying the court, and it is equivalent to rebellion. At that time, the princes of the world will rise up to crusade against Xuzhou, which will not be resistible. Besides, Lu Bu is a disloyal and unrighteous person, although his martial arts are extremely high, who can say that he will not be our enemy in the future?"

"Really want to kill?" I asked, uncertain with my right eyelid.

"Kill!" Liu Bei made a cut gesture.

"You were the one who persuaded me to take Lu Bu in at that time, and now it is you who persuade me to kill him......"

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, this time and that time!"

"Well, it's up to you. ”

I touched my beard and noticed that it had grown a little longer. After staying with Guan Yu for a long time, I also learned his handsome posture, but after killing Lu Bu like this, I always feel that the "Spring and Autumn" I have read these days is in vain.
