The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

() "Lu Zicheng, stop for me!"

Lu Yi, who was riding the fierce black cloud horse of a divine horse, was dressed in a snow-white cloak and soft leather armor, was definitely the most eye-catching person in Beihai.

Especially Wu Yunju, with a vicious temperament, he wanted to kick anyone who didn't like him along the way, and it was rare for others to pay attention to Lu Yi.

Seeing that he was about to reach Yuan Tan's mansion, halfway through, Zhen Yan got out from nowhere, and ran over angrily with a face full of anger.

Beside him, there were still more than a dozen burly men surrounded by men, all of them looked fierce, holding swords in their hands, and staring at Lu Yi with unfriendly expressions.

"Second brother, what did you ask me to do? Have you figured it out and promised me your younger sister?" Lu Yi smiled and asked Zhen Yan in a surprised tone.

"I'd rather my younger sister die at home than marry you!" Zhen Yan gritted her teeth, trembling with anger from Lu Yi's words.But dare not really attack.

Witnessing how Lu Yi surrendered Wu Yunju with his own eyes, Zhen Yan was really afraid of Lu Yi.If it wasn't for Lu Yi holding the marriage certificate, he would definitely hide as far away as possible.Where are you willing to talk nonsense with Lu Yi.

"It's not about marriage, so why are you looking for me?" Lu Yi was a little curious.Get off Wu Yunju and walk to Zhen Yan's side.

Zhen Yan hurriedly backed away, he didn't want to get too close to Wu Yunju, in his opinion, Lu Yi and this horse were more ferocious than a tiger.He hurriedly hid among the guards and shouted at the top of his voice, "Lu Zicheng, do you remember rescuing the caravan and taking what?"

"Of course I remember. It's just a letter. I've already returned it to the eldest son. If you want it, ask him to go!" Lu Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that Zhen Yan's question was nonsense.

"Who wants to read that letter! The gold, silver and jewels I mentioned!" Zhen Yan wanted to jump her feet angrily, feeling that if she said one more word to this vulgar martial artist like Lu Yi, she would be pissed off.

"You said that, they belong to me!" Lu Yi was stunned, and after a long time, Zhen Yan didn't come to ask for a marriage certificate, but to ask for the things that were impounded by him.

"And those goods!" Zhen Yan's face darkened.

"It's mine too!" Lu Yi waved his hand, and said confidently: "I took those from the Taishan army, so naturally they should belong to me!"

Zhen Yan wanted to vomit blood, her face turned red and then white, white and then red again.After a long time, he retorted viciously: "Nonsense! Those things belong to my Zhen family, you should quickly ask your subordinates to return them to me!"

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense! I took those things from the Taishan Army, so why did they belong to your Zhen family?"

Lu Yi lowered his face and said in a cold tone.Wu Yunju, who sat down, immediately opened his mouth wide, bared his teeth, and stared maliciously at a group of guards on the opposite side.Think about starting with that first.

"Lu Zicheng, you...don't go too far in being a human being!" Zhen Yan felt heartache, stomachache, headache, and stars in both eyes.Thinking of him, the second son of Zhen, who has seen countless people on a daily basis, he is not polite, he is very respectful to the Zhen family.Have you ever met such a thick-skinned and rascal like Lu Yi?

Lu Yi's face darkened completely.He gave Zhen Yan a fierce look, how could he spit out the food he ate, and said sharply: "That's right, those things are in my hands, but I'm holding the things from the Taishan Army. It has nothing to do with it. Second brother, I am also your savior after all, you have disappointed me so much!"

"Lu Zicheng, you... you... okay, let's wait and see, I see if you dare to be so arrogant when you arrive in Yecheng!" Second Master Zhen was completely angry, knowing that Lu Yi would not return those goods.He could only turn ashen and leave with his entourage

"Second brother, walk slowly. When I arrive in Yecheng, I will go to your house to hire immediately!" Lu Yi waved his hand and said goodbye to Zhen Yan. Although the second son Zhen was very rude, Lu Yi felt that he should not be as knowledgeable as him, but should be magnanimous. , be polite.

When Zhen Yan who turned around heard the words, she immediately staggered and almost fainted on the ground.He resisted the urge to turn around, and rushed away with the person in an extremely embarrassing manner.The farther away from Lu Yi, the better.

Lu Yi's expression gradually turned cold.Looking at Zhen Yan's back, he showed a thoughtful expression.From his words, Lu Yi got a very important message.

"go!"

He patted Wu Yunju's horse's head, signaling it to run quickly.He wanted to confirm his guess just now, so he rushed to Yuan Tan's mansion at a faster speed.

When Lu Yi arrived at Yuan Tan's mansion, Mr. Yuan was looking for him.Seeing Lu Yi, he hurriedly stopped his hand.

"Zicheng, you are here. I just sent someone to look for you!" Yuan Tan looked very anxious.Seeing Lu Yi, he hurriedly told the news he had just received.

It turned out that just now, Yuan Tan received the news from Yecheng.Yuan Shao's army to conquer Gongsun Zan was about to return to Yecheng.

Lu Yi was taken aback immediately, "Didn't that mean that Gongsun Zan was defeated?" The news was too shocking, and if it got out, it might shake the whole big man.

The prestige of the Yuan family will also rise to an extremely terrifying height, even surpassing the prestige of Emperor Han in some respects.

However, if Lu Yi remembered correctly, didn't Gongsun Zan fall only four years after Jian'an? Could it be because of his own influence that the time was brought forward.

"It's not what Zicheng thought!" During the past few days in Beihai, Yuan Tan and Lu Yi's friendship has gradually deepened, and they usually call Lu Yi's nickname to show their closeness.

After Yuan Tan's explanation, Lu Yi finally understood the general situation of the matter.It turned out that Gongsun Zan was not defeated, but was besieged in Yijing, unable to move.

It just so happened that it was mid-winter again, and places in the north like Youzhou were even harsher. Many people were frozen to death.So Yuan Shao had no choice but to withdraw his troops temporarily, and wait until after the beginning of spring, before delivering the final blow to Gongsun Zan.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.In his heart, he didn't want Gongsun Zan to be defeated in advance, because this involved the big plan in his heart.Every time difference must be accurately grasped, so that the Bingzhou Army can benefit from it, and in the end, it will be reborn from the ashes.

"My lord, that's why you are so anxious to find me. The general's return to Yecheng seems to have little to do with us!" Lu Yi asked strangely.I think Yuan Tan seems a little too sensitive.

"Why doesn't it matter! It's more important!" Yuan Tan snorted coldly, without beating around the bush, and explained: "In a few days, it will be my third younger brother's birthday. The reason why my father is in a hurry to come back is to give He celebrated his birthday!"

When talking about Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan's eyes were fierce, showing deep hatred.Lu Yi was dumbfounded, and thought to himself that the Yuan family brothers were really at odds with each other by nature.

First it was Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and now it was Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Seemingly aware of his gaffe, Yuan Tan restrained himself a bit, and said as calmly as possible: "In recent years, at the end of the new year, my father will have a big banquet for all the ministers, and then there will be a competition for the generals in the army. Received a great reward. The third brother relied on winning this annual competition and gradually gained the favor of many generals!"

When Yuan Tan spoke to Lu Yi, he was not emotional, but full of indifference.

Through Yuan Tan's narration, Lu Yi roughly understood that this kind of martial arts competition was probably Yuan Shao paving the way for Yuan Shang.After all, to take over his position, the most important thing is to obtain the constant support of Hebei generals.

Although Yuan Tan worked hard in the past, his subordinates did not have any generals to fight against Yuan Shang. Only Lu fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly. It was not until Lu Yi's arrival that he saw hope.

"Young Master, you want me to participate in this martial arts competition and win the first place." Lu Yi was not stupid, after contacting him before and after, he understood the reason why Yuan Tan was so eager to find him.

Yuan Tan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, the third brother has been so powerful for so many years, it's time to dampen his spirit. How about it, Zicheng, you have the confidence to help me win this first place!"

Lu Yi didn't speak, he lowered his head and was thinking.He is carefully calculating the pros and cons of it.Yuan Tan didn't bother, and Lu Yi didn't immediately agree. Although Yuan Tan was a little disappointed, he was more happy.

The more Lu Yi is like this, the more he proves that he is serious about this matter.

"My lord, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, will these two participate in the martial arts competition?" Lu Yi asked slowly after being silent for a long time.

"No!" Yuan Tan shook his head and said with a smile: "Yan Liangwenchou, known as my general in Hebei, they rely on their status, it is impossible for them to end up fighting. Besides, they are far away in Youzhou, so they didn't return together this time!"

"That's good!" Lu Yi heaved a sigh of relief. There are many civil servants in Hebei, but there are only a few famous generals.As long as Yan Liangwen is ugly and doesn't make a move, with his ability, who is he afraid of? Besides, he still has Zhang Liao as his trump card!

Thinking of this, Lu Yi cupped his fists towards Yuan Tan, and said solemnly: "My lord, I cannot guarantee that we will win, but I can guarantee that we will not lose either!"

"Then leave everything to Zicheng!" Yuan Tan was very happy, and couldn't help but patted Lu Yi on the shoulder.Compared with Lu Yi smacking his chest and guaranteeing that he would win, Yuan Tan felt that such a slightly more cautious rhetoric was more credible.

Next, Lu Yi asked about some things in Yecheng in detail.After knowing it well, he bid farewell to Yuan Tan.According to what Yuan Tan said, Yuan Shao will return to Yecheng in the next few days, and they must rush to Yecheng before Yuan Shao returns.

In the end, Yuan Tan decided to set off early tomorrow morning.

Lu Yi nodded in agreement.Then he took his leave and rushed back to the camp of the Bingzhou Army, calling all the generals to discuss the military situation.

Bingzhou military camp, inside the large tent of the Chinese army.

Not long after Lu Yi sat down, the sound of footsteps came quickly, and then the personal guard entered, bowed and said, "My lord, the generals are already waiting."

"pass!"

Lu Yi waved his hand and ordered the guards to call everyone in. Immediately, there were footsteps outside the tent, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan entered the tent one by one.

All the generals were wearing heavy armor.At first glance, it is made of fine iron, extremely fine, not an ordinary thing.Coupled with the sturdy figure, it looks even more majestic and murderous.

These are sent by Yuan Tan, the most sophisticated armor in Qingzhou.Lu Yi unceremoniously sent it down, and everyone in the Bingzhou Army had a share.Armed to the teeth.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Bingzhou Army is definitely the strongest force in Qingzhou, not one of them.

Afterwards, there was Chen Gong wearing a dark blue Confucian shirt.Behind him was Yuan Huan with a stiff face and wearing a white robe. Yuan Huan held a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand, and his eyes wandered among the generals, as if he was observing something.

All the generals immediately became awe-inspiring, and hurriedly saluted Lu Yi solemnly. They did it meticulously and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Even Sun Guan, who was always rude, became very gentle.

"Okay, okay, everyone sit down!" Lu Yi smiled wryly, Yuan Huan's position was rather awkward.He is a pure civil servant and does not understand military affairs.

So Lu Yi asked Yuan Huan to be in charge of logistics and military law.

The consequence of this is that Yuan Huan has become a stern judge, and everyone is afraid of him.Everyone who saw them behaved well, lest they did something wrong, and they would be given a meal of army sticks for nothing.

"My lord, you summoned me late at night, but something is wrong with Mr. Yuan?" Chen Gong, as a military adviser, was the first to ask.His complexion is slightly pale, he has recently contracted a cold and has been recuperating.

Lu Yi nodded, and specially ordered someone to place a brazier beside Chen Gong so that he would not be too cold.Then he said: "There is a big event. I need to go to Yecheng!"

Next, Lu Yi repeated Yuan Tan's words, and then said: "Yuan Tan has decided to set off tomorrow, and I can't refuse. After I leave, I will trouble the military adviser with the matter of merging the state army! General Gao, You must cooperate with the military division, you know?"

Lu Yi turned his gaze to Gao Shun, reminding him.Originally, he didn't have to summon all the generals, but gave the order directly.It was because they knew Gao Shun and Chen Gong had conflicts that they specially summoned the generals to order them face to face.

"My lord, the general is willing to accompany you to Yecheng!" Gao Shun hurriedly refused when he heard that he wanted to work with Chen Gong, showing a trace of unnaturalness on his face.

Chen Gong also snorted coldly.He glared at Gao Shun.

The two turned their heads at the same time and let out a pee inwardly.

Lu Yi suddenly smiled bitterly.Touching his forehead, he didn't know what to do.He also understood that the conflict between the two had been going on for a long time, and no one could intervene except themselves.

The reason why Lu Yi kept Gao Shun was that he hoped that Gao Shun and Chen Gong could take advantage of this opportunity to ease their relationship with each other. How could Gao Shun be willing to shirk, so he said in a deep voice, "No, Uncle Zhang will just follow me to Hebei. Now, Uncle Gao, you stay and assist Chen Junshi well, this is a military order!"

"Okay!" Gao Shun frowned, although he was reluctant, but Lu Yi had given out the military order, so he couldn't object.

"Military Master, I will leave everything here to you!" Lu Yi smiled and said to Chen Gong again.

Chen Gong nodded, stroked his gray beard, and remonstrated: "My lord is going, except for General Zhang, it's still not enough. It's better to bring Qingqing with you, so it's safer..."
