Just when Han Xian thought that Lu Zhen was going to break his promise and kill someone to silence him, Lu Zhen let him go.

Han Xian's face was filled with doubts:

"You're not going to shoot me in the back when I leave, are you?! Lu

Zhen smiled and said:

"How could it be? The reason why I didn't agree to your surrender was because I knew you were unconvinced."

"Go ahead and come back to me when you sincerely want to surrender."

Han Xian couldn't help but grin, but he felt it was inappropriate to smile, so he held it back.

However, before leaving, Han Xian looked at the troops descending all over the city and asked:

"Can I take these surrendered soldiers with me? Lu

Zhen looked at him with a smile and said:

"What do you think?"

Han Xian thought it was impossible, but he couldn't bear to lose so many people all at once.

Just at this moment, the cavalry came back.

Just now, five thousand cavalry went out of the city to chase Yan Liangjun, but only half of them came back.

Han Xian sent the cavalry to Called up and asked:

"What about the rest?"

The cavalry general broke his arm and replied miserably:

"The other side were all elite soldiers. They turned around and counterattacked, and we were defeated."

In fact, the cavalry generals are still confused now. They drove the enemy troops out of the city to pursue them. Why were the defenders in the city taken away again?

Han Xian was very angry, but he thought in a blink of an eye: These cavalrymen were going to be killed by Lu Zhen anyway. After being incorporated, the number of casualties is none of his business!

But at this moment, Lu Zhen said:

"I allow you to take two thousand people away. You can choose any hundred generals, but keep all the horses."

Han Xian was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought he was going to leave the city alone, but he was surprised. The reason why Lu Zhen gave him two thousand men was because Han Xian was useful, and he might be used to fight against other thieves in the future.

And the prisoners The two thousand people he selected must be his die-hard loyalists, and the remaining thieves can be easily collected.

Han Xian also simply took away all the generals above the corps commander and his own soldiers.

Even so, Lu Zhen also detained 7,000 bandit soldiers in Wenxi City.

Together with the 3,000 prisoners in Jishan Pavilion, there were a total of 10,000 people.

Lu Zhen planned to select 5,000 people and the remaining 5,000 people would stay directly in Jishan Pavilion. Farming and cultivating fields.

In total, Lu Zhen's army numbered nearly 10,000, and there was no shortage of horses, all of which were cavalry.

The more soldiers he fought, the more soldiers he fought, and the benefits could only be obtained by suppressing the local bandit army.

That night, Lu Zhen stayed In Wenxicheng, I immediately visited the Pei Mansion.

As the first family in Wenxicheng, the Pei Mansion is not public, even low-key and a bit petty.

Nowadays, several generations of the Pei Mansion have served as officials in the court. But this was only when the Pei Mansion was gaining momentum. The Pei Mansion developed in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and reached its peak in the

Sui and Tang Dynasties. With 59 prime ministers in one family, it is not an exaggeration to call it the most prosperous family in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The reason why the Pei Mansion can thrive for hundreds of years is because of his strict Family rules and knowing how to assess the situation are inseparable.

When Lu Zhen came to the Pei Mansion, the Pei family immediately rushed to greet them after hearing the news. Everyone from the eighty-year-old man to the infant baby was brought and lined up in the courtyard to receive him.

It was grand. As for enthusiasm, anyway, this time it gave Lu Zhen enough face, and he would have room to maneuver if there were conflicts in the future.

Lu Zhen looked at the hundreds of people in Pei's house standing neatly, and his expression changed immediately:

"Why is this so?!"

The head of the family, Pei Mao, was not here, so Pei Qian, the eldest son of this house, came forward to greet him. He bowed and saluted Lu Zhen:

"Thanks to the general for taking back Wenxi City today, otherwise the lives of hundreds of members of my Pei family would have been in danger."

The hundreds of people behind Pei Qian did not speak, but they all bowed to Lu Zhen and saluted respectfully.

Lu Zhen waved his hands and said:

"It is the duty of a general to drive out thieves and bandits"

"It's really embarrassing for you to do such a great gift."

Pei Qian was surprised to see Lu Zhen react like this. After all, generals are very happy with their achievements and love to show off.

But he seemed to be different.

After inviting Lu Zhen into the house and sitting down in the hall, Pei Qian spoke first:

"This time the general made great achievements in seizing the city, Pei Qian wrote a letter to his father to report the general's achievements."

Lu Zhen understood that Pei Qian said this to remind himself that the Pei family also made great contributions.

After all, they reminded him of Yan Liangjun and opened the city gate to cooperate.

Lu Zhen then opened his mouth and boasted:

"The Pei family has made greater contributions, and the Pei family is the first to take the city this time."

"And if I hadn’t been reminded by my husband, I would have been attacked by Yan Liang."

The smile on Pei Qian's face was obviously much brighter. After a few words of humility, he said:

"The Pei family is willing to donate 100,000 yuan of military rations and 100,000 yuan of money to support the general's garrison."

Here we come!

The Pei family began to negotiate terms.

Lu Zhen was also willing to cooperate and asked:

"So where should we station our troops?"

"Jishan Pavilion, our Pei family is willing to help you build a city wall and turn it into a military fortress."Pei Qian said it was reasonable.

But Lu Zhen's face turned a little cold.

Because Lu Zhen's army was regarded as a mercenary by them and was assigned at will.

Moreover, the Pei family looked like the masters of Wenxi City and did not regard Lu Bu as a county at all. The governor took it seriously.

The county governor controlled the appointment of all officials in the county and the deployment of the army.

The Pei family was overstepping their bounds.

However, Lu Zhen endured it and said with a smile:

"Hurrah. Then there is the Lao Pei family."

After saying that, Lu Zhen stood up and left, showing his angry attitude.

Pei Qian did not force him to stay and sent him all the way out of the house. Pei Qian said again:

"I know the general is angry, but my Pei family also has its own position and difficulties, so please forgive me, general."

Lu Zhen looked at Pei Qian's young and tender face and saw his helplessness and sincerity.

Lu Zhen knew that he could not tie the Pei family to his chariot yet.

But he believed that one day he would , and it won’t take long.

For this reason, he left Pei Qian a potato

"This is a sacred item and can be grown in barren areas."

"This can be considered as a favor to you."

After Pei Qian sent Lu Bu away, he stayed with the potato for a long time.

Pei Qian heard Lu Zhen's overtone: Lu Jun will give Wenxi City to the Pei family this time, which is considered a return of favor.

And this potato is nothing more than It's a bonus.

However, since this thing is going to be planted, does it need to be dug open with a knife to find the seeds?

You can't just plant this naked fruit, right?
