Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 21 Arrive in Liaodong
To Lu Bu's delight, members of the Gongshu clan also donated a lot of pig iron to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was happy, but all the horses pulling the cart suffered. The weight of these pig irons is not light!

In September 182, Lu Bu and his party arrived in Xiangping, Liaodong.

After arriving in Xiangping, Lu Bu was very happy.

Because this is his first piece of land, he will develop here for a year or so. When the Yellow Turban Uprising breaks out in the future, Lu Bu can lead a rebel army to fight against the Yellow Turbans, wipe out the rebels, and show his face in front of Emperor Ling. In addition, send some gold and silver to Zhang Rang for his help, the future must be bright!
The future is promising!
Xiangping, Gongsun's family.

Gongsun Gong said: "Father, you didn't let the officials in Xiangping go to welcome the new prefect. Is this something inappropriate? What if the new prefect blames it?"

Gongsun Du snorted coldly: "How can I have such a timid son like you! Look at your elder brother, learn more!"

After a pause, Gongsun Du went on to say, "Blame it? Let me borrow two guts from my father! Which one of the prefects in Liaodong is not very respectful to my father? What is the name of this prefect?"

Gongsun Kang on the side said: "It's called Lu Fengxian!"

"Yes, that's Lu Fengxian! He's just a martial artist, how dare he act presumptuously in front of my father? My father first gives him a disgrace, and if he comes to see him with interest, then my father won't bother with him. Father will let him know who owns Liaodong!"

Gongsun Du said with a look of disdain, and the two beards on his mouth also jumped.

Gongsun Kang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father is wise!"

Gongsun Du went on to say: "My father has already confessed to the soldiers of the counties. If Lu Bu is not knowledgeable, he, the prefect of Liaodong, will be bought for nothing!"

Lu Bu knew nothing about Gongsun Du's calculations, and was still happily thinking about his future plans.

But outside Xiangping City, Lu Bu discovered some clues.

A few days ago, Lu Bu sent someone to inform the officials in Xiangping that he was coming today. According to common sense, these officials should come to greet him.

But Lu Bu was at the gate of Xiangping City, not to mention the officials of Liaodong, even the soldiers guarding the city were not a single one!
There must be a demon in everything that happens!Something must be wrong!
So Lu Bu immediately ordered: "Generals Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and Yang Zaixing, lead the trapped camp and enter the city with me! Qin Qiong, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Liao lead the rest of the troops to wait here. If there is any change in the city, immediately lead the army into the city!"

"No!" All the generals answered in unison.

Seeing Lu Bu's serious expression, they did not dare to be careless, and followed Lu Bu's instructions.

Then Lu Bu brought Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Yang Zaixing and the elite of the trapped camp into Xiangping City in exchange.

After entering Xiangping City, Lu Bu went straight to the prefect's mansion, he wanted to see what kind of medicine these people were selling in their gourds!

At this time, Lu Bu had already thought of one person, and this person was the later Prince of Liaodong, Sun Du!
Lu Bu thought to himself: "Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du, if you really did this, then there is no need for the Gongsun family in Liaodong!"

When we arrived at the prefect's mansion, it was still deserted inside.

But Lu Bu saw a thin young man in the prefect's mansion.

So Lu Bu stepped forward and asked, "I am the newly appointed Liaodong prefect Lu Fengxian. Who are you?"

The young man looked around for a while, and then he cupped his hands at Lu Bu and said, "Officer of Liaodong Commandery, seeks to arrest Qian Lin, and pays homage to the prefect!"

Seeing Qian Lin, Lu Bu rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something.

Then Lu Bu said, "Let's go, let's talk in the room!"

Qian Lin said very respectfully: "My lord, please!"

During the conversation with Qian Lin, Lu Bu understood why none of the Liaodong officials came to greet him.

It turned out that Gongsun Du had already spoken to prevent them from going to meet Lu Bu.

After Lu Bu sent someone to notify them a few days ago, they immediately told Gongsun Du the news.

Not only that, Gongsun Du also said that Lu Bu, the governor of Liaodong, will not sit for long!

The officials in Liaodong are also a group of moths, most of whom are from the rich families in Liaodong.

They naturally obeyed the words of Gongsundu, the emperor of Liaodong.

In this way, Gongsundu gave Lu Bu a soft nail quietly.

From the conversation between Gongsun Du and his two sons, it seems that he didn't take Lu Bu seriously, but in fact he was also afraid of Lu Bu who led the troops.

If Lu Bu were a civil servant, Gongsun Du would brazenly lead Liaodong officials in front of Xiangping City, without giving him any face.

But now Gongsundu just used some tricks to make a soft nail for Lu Bu.

What he thought was that Lu Bu could retreat in the face of difficulties and bow his head to compromise with him.

It would be best if Lu Bu compromised with him, which would save a lot of trouble, but if it didn't work, he had no choice but to break his face with Lu Bu.

The Gongsun family does not have private soldiers!
According to Qian Lin, the former governors of Liaodong had to pay [-]% of Liaodong's tax revenue to the Gongsun family.

Oh, sixty percent? !
[-]% of the [-]% of the tax was paid to him, and the remaining [-]% had to be used for various expenditures and constructions. How could this be possible?

You know, Liaodong, a place of bitter cold, is no better than those big counties, and the total population of Liaodong is only 30!

How much tax can this population pay?

After hearing this, Lu Bu remembered Chen Shou's six-character evaluation of Gongsun Du: Du is cruel and unrestrained!
Such moths really have no value in existence.

Since you are looking for your own death, then I will help you!

If you want to be a stumbling block, you have to have the strength of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests. How dare you pull a tiger skin like this?
And Qian Lin came to meet Lu Bu secretly. He was not from a wealthy family in Liaodong, but an ordinary official.

Qian Lin was usually bullied by Gongsun Du and his colleagues, but this time he heard that the new prefect was a military general, so he ventured here and wanted to take a gamble.

He really didn't want to endure all this anymore!

Qian Lin's bet was very high this time, he was risking his life and betting with Lu Bu!
If Lu Bu couldn't beat Gongsun Du, then he didn't have to wait for Gongsun Du to settle the score after Qiu, he just wiped his neck with a knife.

After hearing this, the expression on Lu Bu's face remained calm, and he could not see any joy or anger.

There was no change in the expression on Gao Shun's dead face, no matter what happened, Gao Shun always had this expression for ten thousand years, it was very changed.

But Yang Zaixing was furious after hearing this, obviously extremely angry.

Yang Zaixing said fiercely: "My lord, please give me an order! The final general is willing to raise troops to level this Gongsun family for you!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu got up and patted Yang Zaixing on the shoulder: "There's no need to rush, this matter has to be discussed in the long run."

Then Lu Bu turned his attention to Qian Lin: "You have done a good job. I ordered you to continue to serve as a counselor. In addition, I sent you a team of soldiers. You take them to the homes of other officials in Liaodong and tell them, This official has dismissed them all!"
