The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

() watched helplessly as his young master was kidnapped. Although the rest of the Zhen family were angry, no one dared to stop him.

If they still had the courage to resist against the Taishan army, but facing Lu Yi, there were wolf cavalrymen who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and no one dared to make a rash move.They were all honest and let the wolf cavalry who came over tie them up.

Lu Yi's concern for the safety of the head of the Zhen family does not mean that he will be kind enough to care about the lives of other people.After a hasty questioning, only one steward of the Zhen family was left behind, and the rest were all put in custody, and rushed back to Wubao together with the soldiers.

As the captives left the dungeon one after another dejectedly, the gloomy cell returned to gloomy.There was only the sullen and silent Lu Yi, and the middle-aged steward who was sweating profusely and panicked.

The steward has been working in the Zhen family for most of his life.He often led caravans to travel north and south, to the South China Sea, and to Liaodong.It can be regarded as well-informed and experienced, and I have never seen any big wind and waves.

But facing Lu Yi, the steward still showed a hint of fear. Lu Yi slapped him, but almost killed a Taishan soldier.The steward does not want to suffer the same fate,

"General Lu, I don't know that you are keeping the villain, but what are your orders?"

"Why, am I scary?" Lu Yi frowned, touched his tough cheek and said, running around continuously, there was already a thick layer of black beard on his face.

However, with his slender figure, the black beard on his face not only does not look rough, but also has a more stable temperament. How come in the eyes of this manager, he looks like a villain.

In fact, from the manager's point of view, Lu Yi is not only a villain, but also a murderous devil.

But in front of Lu Yi, he didn't dare to say that, so he could only flatter him against his will: "General Lu is the most good man and hero in the world that a villain has ever seen."

"of course!"

Faced with the manager's blatant flattery, Lu Yi didn't blush, and accepted it calmly.Immediately the conversation changed again, and said in a deep voice: "Then the manager, listen to me, what do I ask now, what do you answer, if you dare to hide anything, I will find out..."

"General, don't worry, as long as the villain knows, the villain will not dare to hide it!" The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hastily.

"Very well, let me ask you, where is Yuan Shu's envoy?"

"When the Taishan army appeared, they wanted to resist and were all killed."

"What about the letter to Hebei?"

"It's among the goods, and it's stored in a mahogany box. The general ordered someone to find it."

....

Lu Yi asked several questions in a row, and the manager answered everything fluently. He really knew everything and didn't dare to hide anything.The caravan is not the only person in charge, and it is impossible for Lu Yi to just ask him.If it is found out that you have told a lie, it will be miserable.

"Last question, how is the relationship between your Zhen family and Yuan Tan?"

"What?" The steward was dazed by Lu Yi's sudden jumpy question, and it took him a while to react, and he replied: "General, our Zhen family and the Yuan family are in-laws for generations. Li, the relationship with the three sons is good."

"That's great, God helped me too!" As soon as Lu Yi heard this, the vague thoughts in his heart gradually became clear.His face gradually softened, and he smiled slightly at the steward, "Do you want to save your young master's life? Now, I will give you a chance!"

The steward didn't dare to speak out, just followed Lu Yi's words, cupped his hands and said: "General, please speak."

"Later, I will give you a fast horse and let you go back to Qingzhou, but you have to find Yuan Tan and give him a word for me!"

Lu Yi walked a few steps in the same place, and originally wanted to pick up a pen and write a literary letter, but after thinking about it, he was not that material at all, so he had to give up.

He dictated: "Go back and tell Yuan Tan that since I heard that the Taishan army blatantly robbed the Zhen family's caravan, out of righteous indignation, I ignored the number of soldiers and fought bloody battles with the enemy, and finally rescued the second son of Zhen. Contributions come with hard work, so I ask Mr. Yuan to quickly prepare a thousand pieces of gold and a thousand horses as protection fees, and send them to me without delay!"

"What kind of protection fee? I clearly want a ransom!" The steward crazily cursed Lu Yi's despicability and shamelessness. He had never heard of saving someone and openly asking for benefits.

This kind of thing, even a small manager, is very displeased, not to mention Yuan Tan, the governor of Qingzhou who is aloof.The steward immediately expressed his worries tactfully.

Lu Yi smiled, and his kind face suddenly turned serious, and he said coldly: "If Yuan Tan doesn't give it, then it's okay! Since the second son Zhen and the letter to the general of Hebei carried by the second son are not worth it. Protection, I think, it is best to send Second Young Master Zhen to Xuchang as soon as possible, and listen to the emperor."

"General, don't!" When he heard that Zhen Yan was going to be sent to Xuchang, the steward's face turned black.Now Yuan Shu is a rebel who is scolded by the whole world.If Zhen Yan was sent to Xuchang, it would definitely be a dead end.

"Remember, if you want Master Zhen to survive, hurry up and bring my words to Yuan Tan!" After Lu Yi finished speaking, he clapped his hands, called in two wolf cavalrymen, and ordered them to escort the steward and go out.Get him a fast horse for the journey.

At this time, Zang Ba, who had already been ordered to interrogate the rest of Zhen's family, also came over and explained the content of the interrogation in detail.

After careful consideration, Lu Yi found that it was no different from what the steward said just now, so he waved his hand and ordered the steward to let go.

With the appearance of Lu Yi, the wolf cavalry entered.Especially with the appearance of Zang Ba, the defenders of Huobing in the cottage surrendered one after another, and the very few who resisted were also killed.

Until this time, the infantry fighters were long overdue, but the battle in the cottage was already over.This finally made the wolf cavalry, who was holding his breath, relax his brows.

After packing up all the belongings in the cottage, Lu Yi ordered his men to set fire to the cottage, escorted hundreds of captives and dozens of carts, and happily returned to Wubao.

The steward, who had escaped with his life, was already riding a fast horse at this time, regardless of the wind and snow, and rushed towards Qingzhou desperately.After all, the family members who are in charge are all in the Zhen family. Now that the second son is in trouble, as a servant, he naturally dare not slack off.

This is why Lu Yihui chose to let him deliver the news.

All the way without talking, the steward went back to Beihai City in Qingzhou at high speed, and before he had time to catch his breath, he ran to ask to see the governor of Qingzhou, the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Tan, with blood-red eyes.

Yuan Tan was in his twenties, and although he came from an aristocratic family, he preferred to wield knives and swords.Usually, he never leaves his armor, and he is surrounded by fierce soldiers in the army when he goes in and out, and he has the air of a general.

It's just that Yuan Tan's appearance was too ordinary, and he even had the eyes of a rogue. Not only did he not have the pride of a general, but he felt a bit sinister and villainous.

Because of these two points, Yuan Shao never liked his eldest son.Usually, most of them don't care.The more Yuan Shao was like this, the more unwilling Yuan Tan felt.

In terms of appearance, he couldn't compare to Yuan Shang, who was extremely handsome since he was a child, known as the most beautiful man in Hebei, and in terms of knowledge, he was also far behind.Yuan Tan can do it, and the only way is to continue to fight, and win Yuan Shao's attention through one victory after another.

No, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of Cao Cao's eastward expedition to Xuzhou, Yuan Tan's troops went out of the plain, and it took only a few months to unify the whole of Qingzhou, and even wiped out the mighty Kong Rong's army entrenched in Beihai. .

When the steward of the Zhen family asked for an interview, Yuan Tan was receiving famous scholars in Beihai City.Without thinking too much, he waved his hand to let the steward come in.

Generally speaking, a steward of an ordinary merchant's family is not qualified to be personally interviewed by Yuan Tan.But the Zhen family is slightly different, it is not only a family of merchants, but also a family of huge officials.

She is also a generational in-law of the Yuan family.

Yuan Tan had to save face.

Who knows, Yuan Tan was shocked when he saw the steward's appearance.The steward's face was covered with dust and blood, and there was still a trace of fear in his eyes.Seeing Yuan Tan, without saying a word, he knelt down with a plop and burst into tears.

"Eldest son, help me, God damn Bingzhou army, if you don't go, my second son's life will be gone!"

"What's going on? Tell me in detail!" Yuan Tan was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked the steward what happened.

The steward was also unambiguous, worried about Zhen Yan's safety, and resented Lu Yi's rudeness at the same time, he explained the matter with embellishments, and finally couldn't help but add another anger: "My lord, that Lu Yi is a bully!" Too much, he asked me to tell you that you have three days to get out before him, if not, he will personally lead his troops to arrest you!"

"Ah! Mrs. Lu Yi, An dare to insult me!" Yuan Tan was so angry that he almost lost his breath.Even when Lu Bu was here, he had never seen the Bingzhou Army so arrogant.

He even dared to openly ask for some protection fee!Yuan Tan was so angry that his eyes turned red, he pulled out his sword, and angrily said: "You want to die, Yuan Tan, why don't you wish..."
