Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 78 Lu Shi
State Shepherd House.

"You are so kind to me, and I can only repay you by holding grass in my hand and making a ring."

A few days ago, Zhang Lu's mother, Mrs. Lu, had been panicking after hearing that Zhang Lu had attacked and killed Pang Le and Li Yi under Liu Zhang's tent.

Her son Zhang Lu's behavior was extremely rebellious and could not be tolerated by any monarch. As a hostage in Chengdu, she and her youngest son Zhang Zheng probably had no chance of survival.

Fortunately, Liu Zhang was in Bajun to conquer the rebellion some time ago and was not in Chengdu. Without Liu Zhang's orders, her mother and son could survive for one or two more days.

When Liu Zhang returned from conquering Bajun, she heard the news from the market and thought her death was imminent.

The day before yesterday, a county official came to visit her, and she was ready to die. However, she did not expect that the county official who came to visit her did not come to kill her mother and son, but brought some things used in daily life.

In response, she came to the Prefecture Mufu today to express her gratitude to Liu Zhang in person.

After she finished saluting, she pulled out Zhang Zheng, who was hiding behind him, occasionally showing half of his round head, and whispered to Zhang Zheng to thank Liu Zhang according to the etiquette she taught him.

Zhang Zhenggang, who was afraid of strangers, raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhang, and met the eyes of Liu Zhang who was sizing him up. The child, who was only five years old, quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Liu Zhang's eyes.

Then he followed his mother Lu's teachings, bowed down, and spoke to Liu Zhang respectfully and in a childish tone unique to children.

"Thank you so much for your kindness."

"Thank you so much for your kindness."

Liu Zhang looked at the half-old lady Lu in front of him, and Zhang Zheng who was pulled out from behind by Lu and was currently thanking him.

He waved his hand at this act of gratitude and declined: "Mrs. Lu doesn't have to be like this."

Although he called Mrs. Lu, Liu Zhang felt that it was more appropriate to call him Mrs. Lu. His father, Liu Yan, had an improper relationship with Mrs. Lu. When Liu Yan was alive, Mrs. Lu would spend the night at the governor's house from time to time. .

Lu's son Zhang Lu and other commander Zhang Xiu were sent to Hanzhong by Liu Yan. Then Zhang Lu attacked and killed Zhang Xiu and occupied Hanzhong alone. Liu Yan did not express any position on Zhang Xiu's death and acquiesced to Zhang Lu's death. Lu's bad deeds are just the wind blowing in Lu's ears.

Looking at Zhang Zheng's face again, Liu Zhang couldn't help but be a little surprised. He was so similar to his father Liu Yan. Zhang Zheng's features were based on Liu Yan's bones. He and his brothers had similar looks when they were young. Somewhat similar.

Nominally, the Lu family said that Zhang Zheng was the posthumous son of Zhang Lu's father, but looking at Zhang Zheng's appearance, maybe Zhang Zheng's surname was Liu, Jindao Liu.

Liu Zhang silently marveled at this. The Lu family in front of him looked like she was in her 30s or [-]s and was extremely well-maintained, but she was still old and he didn't expect to be able to give birth to a child.

It is no wonder that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu did not deal with each other in history. When Zhang Lu was arrogant, the gentle Liu Zhang killed Lu and Zhang Zheng. It is estimated that Liu Zhang did not like Zhang Zheng, a bastard with no provenance, and felt that Zhang Zheng should be kept. It may have tarnished Liu Yan's reputation and insulted his reputation as a Yizhou shepherd.

"After all, you are so kind to me, but I have nothing to repay." Mrs. Lu said her words of gratitude in a delicate tone, and she shed a few tears of gratitude from a pair of fox-like eyes.

Feeling the tears falling down, she took out the silk silk from her cuffs and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes flirted with each other. Occasionally, her eyes met Liu Zhang's and her body twisted unconsciously.

'Why are you so excited? "Looking at Mrs. Lu in front of her, who looked like a spoiled child who was unable to help her, Liu Zhang was a little speechless. Could it be that Mrs. Lu wanted both father and son to take advantage of each other? He couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.

He has no interest at all in the fact that he is almost considered a fucking Lu at this age, and in fact, his baby mother.

In this era, many people had a special preference for wives, such as Cao Cao, but this was because women in the Han Dynasty got married at a relatively young age. They were basically married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and their body bones had not yet grown.

Cao Cao's best wives are women around 20 years old, which happens to be the best age for a woman to grow, such as his sister-in-law Wu Ran.But Lu was nearly 50 years old, and at such a young age, she acted coquettishly in front of him because of her age, which made Liu Zhang feel that one head was as big as two.
-
Zhao House.

Zhao Wei felt a little headache. In the recent period, everything had not gone as planned for him.

The first thing is to send Pang Le and Li Yi to Hanzhong to defend against Zhang Lu. They can capture the important gateway to the north of Yizhou and hold Hanzhong with a household registration of [-] to [-] in his hands.

But Zhang Lu, a rice thief, attacked and killed Pang Le and Li Yi regardless of his mother and young brother who were hostages in Chengdu.

His attempt to occupy Hanzhong failed, and he also lost the elite troops of Pang Le and Li Yi.

The second thing was the rebellion in Bajun. Originally, it was his turn to put down the rebellion. He had thought of changing his position to Zhonglang General of Zhengdong. However, he did not expect that Liu Zhang did not know what medicine he had taken wrong and actually took it himself. The soldiers went to Bajun to quell the rebellion.

Now the credit for pacifying Bajun has nothing to do with him. Liu Zhang's reputation has greatly increased by pacifying the chaos in Bajun.

How can it continue like this?

The third thing is something he has been thinking about recently, putting aside Zhang Lu's grudge against Pang Le and Li Yi, making friends with Zhang Lu, the rice thief, and conspiring to overthrow Bashu.

He originally thought that Li Yi fled into the mountains and there must be no chance of survival, so when discussing the matter of dealing with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, he suggested treating Zhang Lu's mother and brother in Chengdu favorably.

But now that Li Yi is back, today Liu Zhang exposed the favor he had said earlier about Zhang Lu's mother and brother, which made Li Yi, a subordinate who was loyal to him, have something different in his eyes.

All of the above made him feel that when he was playing chess with Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang was ahead of him at every step and had an insight into his thoughts.

He was like a puppet with strings, easily manipulated by Liu Zhang's hands.

A very strange feeling emerged from Zhao Wei's heart, maybe it was luck. He suppressed his inner uneasiness and attributed every opportunity Liu Zhang had to Liu Zhang's luck.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Liu Zhang took the lead every time, as if there were ghosts and gods assisting him.

Not long after, Li Yi came to Zhao Wei after washing and tidying up in the Zhao Mansion. He changed into new clothes and smoothed his hair. He looked more energetic. Although his face was still not good-looking, he looked at Zhao Wei. There are some doubts in it.

Zhao Wei knew the confusion in Li Yi's heart, and he needed to comfort Li Yi.

Although Li Yi's tribe was basically lost, Li Yi was still his subordinate and had been under his command for a long time. Furthermore, Li Yi was born into a wealthy family in Ba County, so he was somewhat useful.

He first sighed and looked helpless: "I heard that the captain was attacked by the rice thief Zhang Lu and then disappeared. I am worried every day and look forward to the return of the captain."

After opening his heart, he saw that Li Yi's complexion was slightly better, and continued: "It is exactly what I said about treating Zhang Lu's mother and brother favorably."

"If you want to take it, you must give it to it first." After saying this, Zhao Wei's expression became a little gloomy.

"The favor given to Zhang Lu's mother and brother today is just to prepare for the successful conquest of Hanzhong in the future."

"Zhang Lu's mother and brother will be used to sacrifice the flag in the future." He promised Li Yi.

He didn't lie. Lies will always be exposed, but if it's half truth and half lie, few people can see through it.
