The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

() Following Yuan Tan into Yecheng, and returning to Yuan Tan's mansion, Lu Yi was a little groggy and felt terrified.Although Yuan Tan has been tight-lipped about that so-called big secret.

Knowing the history, Lu Yi judged from some clues that Yuan Shao's so-called big move was probably the famous Battle of Guandu in history.

Calculating the time, it was almost a few months after Gongsun Zan's fall. Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the land of four states, couldn't wait to welcome the emperor and dominate the world.

At that time, it would also be the most glorious moment for the Yuan family in Hebei, almost making the entire Han Dynasty tremble under the might of the Yuan family.It's just that Lu Yi didn't think that Yuan Shao had already made preparations in the third year of Jian'an.

Just waiting for Gongsun Zan to be wiped out, he will enter the Central Plains and accomplish the most brilliant feat of the Yuan family.

"It seems that the strength of the Bingzhou Army must be restored as soon as possible!" After Lu Yi entered Yuan Tan's son's mansion, he kept himself locked in his room, thinking hard about the way out for the Bingzhou Army.

Seeing that the Battle of Guandu was about to break out, Lu Yi felt a sense of urgency.He understood that if he could not summon enough elites to strengthen his strength before the Battle of Guandu.The Bingzhou Army, which was brilliant for a while, is likely to truly decline from then on.

However, if Yuan Shao wanted to recruit soldiers, it was a hurdle that he couldn't get around.Of course, Lu Yi also thought about recruiting soldiers secretly, but in that way, once discovered, Yuan Shao would never let him go, and would definitely deal a thunderous blow to the Bingzhou Army before they left Hebei.

That is the worst policy, and it can only be used as a last resort.Lu Yi felt that, while there was still some time, if he could gain Yuan Shao's trust, and then persuade Yuan Tan to come forward, it would not be impossible to go to Bingzhou to recruit troops.

"It seems that I have to spend a lot of money this time!"

Lu Yi gritted his teeth.Finally a decision has been made.If he wanted to quickly gain Yuan Shao's trust, he naturally needed someone to help speak for the Bingzhou Army.

It happened that Lu Yi had met Xu You and knew that this person was a big celebrity around Yuan Shao.It happens that there are extremely greedy for money.If he could bribe this person and speak well for the Bingzhou Army by Yuan Shao's side, his return to Bingzhou would definitely be much smoother.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi couldn't sit still any longer, and hurried out, ordered someone to find Yuan Huan, and immediately asked: "Mr. Yuan, how much gold and silver did we bring on this trip!"

"About one thousand gold!" Yuan Huan said solemnly, most of the gold and silver were confiscated from the Zhen family's caravan. Lu Yi gave most of it to his subordinates, and the rest was too valuable, so it was all handed over to Yuan Huan for safekeeping.He couldn't be more clear about the value of those things.

Lu Yi nodded and rubbed his chin, "Now, you should pay a visit to Xu Ziyuan immediately and give him a hundred gold!"

"No!" Yuan Huan didn't ask why, he already knew in his heart that the reason why he brought these treasures here was originally intended to be used by Yuan Shao's important officials.

So as soon as Lu Yi ordered, Yuan Huan immediately understood, and immediately went to pay homage to Xu You with a hundred gold.Lu Yi sat at home, waiting for news from Yuan Huan.

This is what Lu Yi had to do.He is a warrior, if he rashly went to a celebrity like Xu You, he might not even let him in.People like Yuan Huan, who are also celebrities, can speak better.

Thinking of these, Lu Yi felt angry.But there is nothing he can do, if he wants to follow a group of people, he would rather go into battle and get stabbed a few times, that would be more enjoyable.

Yuan Huan came back quickly, in about an hour.With a dark face and a look of anger, he strode into Lu Yi's room. "My lord, Xu You is too hateful!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Yi asked curiously.Yuan Huan has always been refined, with a demeanor of not changing the color of Mount Tai's collapse, but now, Yuan Huan is blowing his beard and staring angrily, and almost couldn't help roaring.

"I went to visit Xu You's house and gave him a gift. Xu You looked at it, threw it back to me, and kicked me out!" Yuan Huan told the story.

At the beginning, when he heard Yuan Huan came to visit, Xu You was very warm and received him warmly.The two chatted loudly, Yuan Huan saw what they said was speculative, and hurriedly gave a gift.

Xu You was very happy at first, but when he saw a pile of gold, he immediately changed his color and said angrily: "What kind of person do you think I am, to insult my eyes and ears with these yellow and white things, please forgive me for not being able to accept!"

Talking, walked away.

Yuan Huan was so angry that he almost died.So he immediately came back and told Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was also stunned when he heard this, and wondered if he had made a mistake in the book. In fact, Xu You was an upright person.But then Lu Yi hurriedly denied it, thinking it was impossible.

Xu You is greedy for money, but Yuan Tan told him personally, this must not be false.

"Mr. Yuan, how did you give Xu You a gift?"

Since it wasn't Xu You's fault, Lu Yi guessed that it was probably his fault.

Yuan Huan was a little dumbfounded, and said, "I just followed my lord's order and said to give him a hundred gold, is there anything wrong?"

Lu Yi was speechless.After working for a long time, it turned out that there was something wrong with me.After all, Xu You is a famous person, Yuan Huan said so directly, didn't he slap him in the face.

"Well, Mr. Yuan, you go again. This time, you bring two hundred gold and nothing else. Just say that I admire Xu You as a famous person, and I specially brought some pickles from my hometown for him to taste. fan."

"Can this work?" Yuan Huan's eyes were full of doubts, and he secretly thought that Xu You's family was rich, so why would he want pickles.But Lu Yi had given the order, and Yuan Huan couldn't say much, so he could only be skeptical and went to visit Xu You again.

The concierge announces to enter.Soon, Xu You appeared. Hearing that Lu Yi had brought him some pickled vegetables, Xu You was overjoyed. After inspecting the pickled vegetables for himself, his attitude towards Yuan Huan changed drastically, and he regained the enthusiasm he had at the beginning.

Yuan Huan was dumbfounded.It wasn't until he walked out of Xu You's house that he smiled wryly and shook his head: "My lord, this method really opened my eyes!"

While sighing, he ran back to report.

Hearing that Xu You accepted the gift, he even praised Bingzhou Army a few words.Lu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.He drew up a list overnight and ordered Yuan Huan to visit them one by one.

This time Yuan Huan learned to be smart, and whenever he visited and gave gifts, he would call them pickles.The process went extremely smoothly.With money to clear the way, many scholars have greatly increased their favor for Lu Yi in just a few days.Some people even invited him to visit the house for a talk.

Although Lu Yi was a little moved by these invitations.However, a piece of news that followed immediately made him calm down.

On this day, Yuan Tan sent someone to tell him that Yuan Shao, who was away on an expedition, was about to return to Yecheng.In just one day, the whole city of Ye was immediately boiling.

The chariots and horses of countless aristocratic families rushed out of the street and rushed out of the city.Countless soldiers, wearing brand-new clothes, stood on the top of the city against the cold wind.

On both sides of the avenue outside the city, someone had already set up canopies in advance, and the aristocratic families in Yecheng, the generals and generals of the army gathered there, looking forward to Yuan Shao's return.

As a general of Qingzhou, Lu Yi was naturally not immune.He had to brave the cold wind early in the morning and follow Yuan Tan to the outside of the city, preparing to meet Yuan Shao.

But it can be seen that Mr. Yuan is not very interested.After exchanging greetings with a group of Ruying scholars, he came to Lu Yi's side with a look of frustration on his face.

"Eldest son, what's the matter with you?" Although Lu Yi didn't want to join the Yuan family brothers in the battle, Yuan Tan put on a dirty face in front of him and panicked in his heart, so he couldn't help asking.

"Hey!" Yuan Tan sighed.Glancing at Lu Yi, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, even if you tell me, Zicheng can't help me!"

"Say it, it will make you feel better!" Lu Yi was even more curious, persuading him.

Yuan Tan thinks about it too.He sighed and said, "That's right. I heard that the third brother said that when his father returns, he will write an article in public to praise his father's military exploits!"

"What's the matter? If he can do it, you can do it too. If it's really not possible, please ask those famous people to write it for you, and you can just memorize it!" Lu Yi was speechless.He believed that Yuan Tan always lacked a trace of confidence when facing Yuan Shang.It is very different from his usual cunning.

Yuan Tan rolled his eyes. After Lu Yi refused Yuan Shang's solicitation last time, he undoubtedly became closer to Lu Yi, and he had a taste of being a confidant. However, my third brother's scribes are even more powerful, I heard that Chen Lin ghostwritten the article he was going to read!"

Chen Lin, Lu Yi was startled.This is a remarkable person.Known as the first scribe in Hebei.Historically, the call to action for the Battle of Guandu was written by this man. It is said that Cao Cao was so frightened that he sweated profusely after reading it.

It can be seen how powerful this person is.

Lu Yi did not expect that Yuan Shang would ask him to write for him. Could it be that he is not afraid that Yuan Shao will see through.Looking at Yuan Tan's eyes, there is some sympathy.

"Look, I told you, you can't help me!" Yuan Tan said nothing when he saw Lu Yi.He began to sigh again, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a icy glint, "I can only hate those scholars, who brag about how powerful they are on weekdays, but when they heard that Chen Lin helped the third brother to write, no one dared to help me. Ghostwriter, even if I pay a thousand gold, no one agrees!"

Yuan Tan's tone was full of resentment.He is the eldest son of the Yuan family. He was supposed to be under one person and above ten thousand people. He was sought after by countless people, but in the end he was treated coldly just because he was inferior to Yuan Shang in appearance. This made the eldest son Yuan angry and helpless.

A thousand pieces of gold?

Lu Yi's eyes lit up.He has been shy in his pocket for giving gifts in the past few days.Worried about how to make money, Yuan Tan's words are like Tianyin.He immediately put away his laziness, thinking that he should do a good deed every day and help Yuan Tan.

"My lord, I do have a way, maybe I can make you beat that Yuan Shang this time!" Lu Yi said with a smile, and then gently mentioned, "It's just that one thousand pieces of gold..."

"If Zicheng has a plan, come here quickly. If he can really beat the third brother, let alone one thousand gold, two thousand gold will be fine!" Hearing that Lu Yi has a way, Yuan Tan's spirits lifted, like a drowning man, catching him Lived at the last straw!

"Okay, that's the deal, two thousand gold!" Lu Yi made a final decision and accepted Yuan Tan's price.Yuan Tan's expression was immediately unkind, and he stared at Lu Yi.I feel that this person seems to be taking advantage of the fire.

Lu Yi was thick-skinned, and ignored Yuan Tan's anger directly, and said mysteriously: "My lord, your third brother has Chen Lin to help, it seems that you can't compare with him in one piece of writing, why don't we use another way to negotiate?" To the great general's favor!"

"What way?" Yuan Tan stared at Lu Yi for a long time, and finally confirmed that Lu Yi was not perfunctory with him, and became serious, assuming a gesture of asking for advice.

Lu Yi looked serious, and said loudly: "In the world, there are no closer relatives than father and son, and the most loving person is family affection. The third son is a scholar, why don't you compare family affection with him, eldest son. Just imagine, there are empty and gorgeous articles on one side, On the one hand, the Eldest Young Master reveals his true feelings, which one is more important for the embarrassing feelings towards the Great General, what does the Eldest Young Master think?"

"Zicheng, what a great idea!" Yuan Tan Ting's eyes lit up, he swept away the frustration just now, became happy again, and couldn't help dancing.

"That's a must!"

Lu Yi also had a proud face, this strategy, he plagiarized Cao Pi's method later.With Cao Cao's temperament, he would be moved, let alone Yuan Shao, who has always been indecisive.

"It's just, what should I do so that my father can see my affection for him?" Yuan Tan became excited for a while, his face became serious, and he began to ask Lu Yi for advice seriously.

Lu Yi was so happy that he couldn't help snapping his fingers, "It's simple. When the general comes over and the third son is reading the article, you can just cry at the general. If the general asks, you can just say , I miss my father too much, seeing that my father has gray hair on his sideburns, but the child can't help his father, I feel emotional, so I shed tears..."

"Good, good, so good!"

Yuan Tan was overjoyed.Concentrated, he memorized Lu Yi's words in his heart word for word.Looking at Lu Yi's eyes, there is something different again. He feels that Lu Yi is not only brave, but also resourceful. It is really difficult to be a general with both civil and military skills.

Yuan Tan, who memorized the lines, ran out happily, and wanted to discuss with the scholars who supported him in advance.Lu Yi watched Yuan Tan leave with a smile, feeling very happy in his heart, feeling that he had done a great deed, and he really admired himself.

But, why do I always feel empty in my heart?

Lu Yi tapped his head, as if he felt that something was missing.Finally, after a long while, Lu Yi's face turned black, and he cursed loudly: "Fuck, I haven't given me the two thousand gold!"

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. Lu Yi felt that it was necessary for him to go over and remind Yuan Tan, but don't forget about his reward.

"Here we come, the great general is here!" On both sides of the official road, there were fast horses rushing over, reporting the direction of Yuan Shao's army.

"Great, the lord is finally back!"

Beside the official road, there were bursts of exclamations from the luxurious carriages. Immediately, many scribes got off the carriages, gathered together according to their seniority, and waited quietly on both sides of the official road. Yuan Shao's carriage passed by.

Lu Yi also stood up slowly, intending to hide behind the crowd and not meet Yuan Shao face to face.After all, Bingzhou Army and Yuan Shao used to have enmity, who knows if Yuan Shao will be narrow-minded.

"Zicheng, Zicheng, something is wrong!" Yuan Tan ran over, looking very anxious.In the cold weather, beads of sweat were streaming down his face.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yi still remembered that Yuan Tan didn't give him any money, so he felt a little upset.

"I... I can't cry!" Yuan Tan blushed, feeling a little ashamed.He has already told Simpi and others about Lu Yi's strategy, and he has received strong affirmation from them.They all thought that Yuan Tan came up with it by himself, and looked at him with admiration.

Yuan Tan was very proud at the beginning, but Yuan Shao's frame could already be seen.At the critical moment, Mr. Yuan worked hard many times, but he didn't feel like crying, so he could only come to Lu Yi for advice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately rolled his eyes and snorted, "What's the problem? If you can't cry, you just pinch your flesh hard, or slap yourself a few times. When you feel the pain, tears will come down naturally! "

"I tried it, it won't work!" Yuan Tan was in a hurry, cheers came from ahead, needless to say, Yuan Shao was about to arrive.

"What can't be done, how can a man say no!" Lu Yi was angry, and taught a lesson: "If you can't cry, it's because you didn't beat yourself hard enough!"

"This...seems to make sense, Zicheng, why don't you give me a try." Yuan Tan suddenly realized.Hastily raised his slap, hesitating whether to slap his face or not.

"It's really troublesome!" Lu Yi was still thinking about the two thousand gold. Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to arrive, Yuan Shang started to memorize the essay on the spot. If he continued to delay, he would lose a lot of money for nothing!

Thinking of this, Lu Yi didn't hesitate any longer, and punched Yuan Tan in the stomach.

"Ah! Lu Yi, how dare you hit me!" Yuan Tan screamed, feeling as if his stomach would be crushed by Lu Yi's fist, tears rolled down his face in pain.

"My lord, I'm here to help you. Look, you're in tears!" Lu Yi said with surprise on his face, pointing at Yuan Tan's face.

"Really, I cried, that's great!" Yuan Tan was furious at first, and then he was inexplicably surprised. He touched the tears in the corner of his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said seriously: "Zicheng, hurry up, hit me a few more times, The more ruthless the better!"

"What, how is this possible!" Lu Yi was shocked, his face full of embarrassment.

"Go ahead and fight, don't worry, I don't blame you!" Yuan Tan demanded through gritted teeth while wiping away tears.

"Since it's you who insist, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient!" Lu Yimian nodded his head, then took a deep breath and shouted: "Young Master, are you ready?"

"You're welcome, come!" Yuan Tan went out.

"Okay, look at the trick, I'll fight!"

Lu Yi rushed up, punched and kicked Yuan Tan, and beat him to death.

"Ah...it hurts...don't...stop...my life is over..." Yuan Tan wept bitterly, the voice was extremely miserable, it was truly heartbreaking to hear, and those who saw it wept.

.......

On the other side of the official road, Yuan Shao, the great general of Hebei, the [-]th and [-]rd prince, was already riding a steed, walking towards the crowd with a majestic look. Beside him was surrounded by a group of solemn and solemn euphorbia warriors.

This group of people is the real Hebei elite warriors, and it is rare to meet their opponents in the world.

The cold sun hangs high, and the cold light falls down, reflecting on the sharp halberds, adding to the endless murderous aura of the euphorbia warriors.It's frightening to see.

"I'll wait, meet the lord!"

A group of civil servants flocked forward, the leader was a middle-aged man with a resolute face, his face was serious, his expression was not angry and majestic, and he had an inviolable demeanor.

This man is Tian Feng, the most upright minister in Hebei.He took the lead and saluted Yuan Shao.Immediately, on both sides of the pipe, countless scholars bowed down, regardless of the cold ground.

This is a grand occasion, unique in Dahan.There are so many scribes, all of whom are proud and arrogant, and now, they are willing to bow down to one person.

Like a courtier meeting his own king.

"It seems that the land of Hebei has long since formed its own family, and it is a veritable small court!" Lu Yi was shocked, surprised by the power of the Yuan family.Then came another long sigh.

It is a pity that such a prominent family has internal disagreements and fights for power and profit.Such a combination, seemingly powerful, will fall apart sooner or later.It's embarrassing.

"This person can be replaced!"

In a daze, Lu Yi felt a sense of pride.At present, his status is as high as Yuan Shao's, but Lu Yi believes that if he is given a chance, he may not be able to reach Yuan Shao's level.

When the officials in Hebei bowed down to Yuan Shao, Lu Yi retreated silently and avoided this place. He didn't want to be like others, so he bowed his knees to Yuan Shao.

This is his pride, his persistence.

In Lu Yi's heart.No one is more noble than anyone else!

"Swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, the sky collapses and the earth cracks, between talking and laughing, a hundred thousand troops are wiped out in ashes..."

The ministers paid homage to Yuan Shao, and it was Yuan Shang and other people close to the Yuan family who came forward.The third son of Yuan is handsome and handsome, but he is like a god descending from the earth, towering like a god of war.

Wearing golden armour, with a face like a crown jade, he was born with majesty.At this time, he was walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, drew his sword and sang loudly, using beautiful and gorgeous rhetoric to praise Yuan Shao's achievements.

Most of the nearby officials are knowledgeable people.As soon as Yuan Shang spoke, they couldn't help shaking their heads and savoring carefully.When you hear the highlights, you cheer loudly.

Inside the frame, Yuan Shao was both surprised and delighted.But still did not get off.Just from Yuan Shang opening his mouth to recite, within the bead curtain, three praises from Yuan Shao sounded.

Finally, when Yuan Shang finished reciting the last syllable.Yuan Shao who was inside the bead curtain couldn't bear it any longer and got off the carriage.Surprised and asked: "I don't want my family, but there is such a unicorn, and it's really a blessing for my Yuan family!"

Only then did Lu Yi see Yuan Shao's face clearly.I saw Yuan Shao wearing a golden Lun shirt and a crown of jewels and jade on his head, with a kind of graceful and magnanimous air of a king. <Wind, the whole body is comfortable. When he is angry, he can also make the ground bleed for thousands of miles, and float corpses in rivers thousands of miles away.

This is a mighty king.Every move is strictly weathered.But when facing his favorite son, he has a kind face, full of joy and joy.

"Back to father, this is what the child did occasionally!" Yuan Shang smiled slightly and walked to Yuan Shao. Both father and son were handsome people. Standing together at this moment, the aura of Shen Yun's actions was so strong that many people would bend over. waist.

"My real unicorn!"

Hearing Yuan Shang's own admission, Yuan Shao was even happier.He couldn't help reaching out and patted Yuan Shang's shoulder, making no secret of his affection.Immediately, Yuan Shao turned his gaze to Yuan Tan who had been ignored for a long time.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao was shocked.

Yuan Tan's eyes were red and swollen, and his face was as pale as paper.Big teardrops couldn't stop sliding down her cheeks.Seeing Yuan Shao finally looking at him, Young Master Yuan's voice was choked up, and he sobbed, "Boy, I've met my father!"

As he spoke, Yuan Tan took a step forward, but just as soon as he took a step, his body shook for a while, like catkins in the wind, swaying, and matched with a face as pale as paper, there was no doubt that the young master Yuan in front of him would always be May die.

Yuan Shao became angry immediately, and said furiously: "My son, what happened, who bullied you, tell me, I will punish him from the nine clans!"

"Father, you didn't bully me. I haven't seen my father for more than a year. Today I saw my father's sideburns talking, but I didn't share my worries for him. I was sad for a while and couldn't help crying..."

Yuan Tan took small steps and walked to Yuan Shao's side in a few steps. Because the movement was too big, the wound was affected, his face twitched in pain, and tears rolled down again.

"My son!"

Hearing these words, Yuan Shao felt that the softest part of his heart was severely touched.Seeing Yuan Tan's tears rolling down again, it didn't seem like a fake, and he was immediately moved.

Unable to restrain himself for a while, he couldn't help walking over, hugging Yuan Tan hard, feeling a little guilty in his heart, secretly thinking that although his eldest son was a bit vulgar, he was also a sincere person.

"Father! It hurts!"

Yuan Tan was severely beaten by Lu Yi, and his whole body was in severe pain. Suddenly, Yuan Shao hugged him hard, and he almost passed out from the pain, and cried even more, uncontrollably.

"It hurts to be a father!" Yuan Tan didn't say it, it's fine, a word of pain really touched Yuan Shao's heart, he felt that Yuan Tan had been neglected all these years, how could he not feel pain in his heart.

Yuan Tan groaned, and this time Yuan Shao hugged him harder, making him roll his eyes in pain.I just felt stares in my eyes, and felt that all my bones were going to be broken.

On the side, Yuan Shang saw that he was envious and furious, and he looked at Yuan Tan with eyes that could eat people.He forced a smile and said, "Father, brother, it's cold outside, we'd better go into the city!"

But he wanted to pass by and stop Yuan Shao from flooding his family.

"No, the eldest son I beat was too miserable. If he retaliates afterwards, life will be difficult, that's all, a good man will do it to the end, I will help you once!"

Lu Yi rolled his eyes, stabbed Simpi next to him, and said loudly: "The eldest son is really a pure and filial person..."

Simpi suddenly came to his senses, cursed himself for being slow, and hurriedly opened his voice to praise: "Today, I only know the value of family affection! It must be Wen Yiji!"

"Third Young Master is talented in writing, why not let Third Young Master write an article on the spot to record this grand event!" Lu Yi yelled in the crowd again, intending to make Yuan Shang look ugly in public. .
