Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 280: Coming to Shouchun again, Liu Bei’s troops arrive at Xudu

Lu Yi met with Huang Zhong and others in the government office hall and determined the time to continue the expedition, which would be the morning after tomorrow.

After that, Lu Yi returned to the Lu family and ordered two thousand young people from the Lu family.

On the same day, Lu Yi invited the heads of the major families to gather at the Lu family and express his gratitude to the heads of the major families for their support.

The next morning, Lu Yi invited all the managers of the Lu family, all his women, children, and Qiao Guolao to have a meal with them.

In the afternoon, Lu Yi took Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, and two thousand young people of the Lu family to Ou'a Port to meet everyone.

Although Lu Yi no longer conscripted troops this time, he still brought [-] soldiers with him.

Twenty thousand of them are strong men from various major families, all young and middle-aged, and they bring their own weapons.

Three thousand were Danyang elites led by pottery merchants.

The two thousand are members of the Lu family, and they are all young men, and they bring their own light armor and weapons.

These two thousand members of the Lu family were all trained by Shi Huan.

As for grain and grass, Wei Jing supervised its transportation.

The main source of food and grass is partly provided by major families.

The other part was provided by the Lu family.

Qiao Guolao has ordered Lu Da, who is doing business in Jiangbei, and Fang Hao, who is doing business in Kuaiji and other places, to cooperate fully.

In the evening, Lu Yi led everyone to pay homage in front of the immortal monument.

The day after tomorrow, before dawn, the troops and horses were counted.

At dawn, the army, led by Lu Yi, headed straight for Ruxu Port on a warship provided by the Nangong family.

The governor of Lujiang County, Bu Zhao, came to greet him with the officials of Lujiang County.

Seeing Lu Yi, Bu Zhi quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Bu Zhi has met the master of the family!"

Bu Zhao, a native of Huaiyin.

During the war in the early years, Bu Zhao and the Bu family planned to route the Lujiang River and then go south to Jiangdong.

As a result, they ran out of food and encountered bandits, so they were all stranded in Shu County, Lujiang, in a miserable state.

They happened to meet Lu Yi, Liu Ye and Lu Su planning Zhou Yu's Zhou family, passing by Shu County, and got acquainted with him.

Lu Yi gave Bu Zhi some money and settled the food rations for Bu Zhi and Bu Zhi's family. After that, he asked Bu Zhi and his people to go to Wu County to find the Lu family, who would provide food and drink for their people.

Bu Zhi and the Bu family stayed at the Lu family for a long time.

Although Bu Zhi and the Bu family moved out of the Lu family one after another, Bu Zhi always regarded Lu Yi as his master.

Except in the government office, whenever Bu Zhi saw Lu Yi, he would always address him as "head of the family."

Lu Yi helped the stallion and said with a smile: "Have Chen Gong and Tai Shi Ci captured Shouchun now?"

Bu Zhao made an invitation gesture to Lu Yi, Jia Xu and others while leading the way: "The news just came in late last night that Shouchun has been captured."

"Shou Chun has almost no defense."

"It turned out to be Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan guarding it."

"Cao Cao withdrew from the Central Plains, and Xia Houyuan took away almost all the soldiers."

"Even the city defense troops were taken away."

"When Sheriff Chen Gong and the others arrived, only the big families in Shouchun provided some troops for defense."

"Facing our army, they didn't even resist, they just opened the city gate and surrendered."

"Now, the governor of Chen Gong and the right commander Tai Shi Ci are deploying heavy troops to prevent the enemy from going south."

"I was left here by them to pick up the head of the family."

"Chief Chen Gong said that at this time, the head of the family, you will come to personally supervise the battle."

Lu Yi nodded.

As a group of people passed by Chaohu Lake, Lu Yi couldn't help but think of the time he was here with Liu Ye and Lu Su, and was filled with emotion.

The Zhou family, which was once the arrogant second and third prince, was destroyed by the three of them joining forces with Zheng Bao.

After that, the three of them killed Zheng Bao.

Until now, few people know that the Zhou family was destroyed by three of them.

Now, the Zhou family is completely destroyed.

Even Zhou Yu died.

After leaving Chaohu, Lu Yi and his army passed by Juchao again.

All the people living in the nest came.

Everyone gathered on the roadside.

Many of the two thousand Lu family children that Lu Yi took away this time were the people who lived in the nest back then.

Back then, Lu Yi took away Lu Kang's head from Shouchun and took the frustrated Lu family members south to Wuxian County. When it was developing again, he passed by Juchao and took away tens of thousands of people here.

These tens of thousands of people living in the nest have all joined the Lu family.

Only some young people who are old or have elderly parents who are unable to leave continue to stay in the nest.

Lu Yi returned to Juchao this time. Although he saw many familiar faces, most of them were still unfamiliar faces.

These people migrated here from various places. This is the connection between Wuhou and Juchao, so I came here to see it.

Some of the surviving elderly people burst into tears when they saw Lu Yi.

They did not expect that they would be able to see their original nest leader again in their lifetime.

Lu Yi was also deeply moved.

Yibu Zhao led the large army and continued to march towards Shouchun. Lu Yi took Nangong Yan, Shi Huan and other two thousand Lu family children for a short stay.

These old people led Lu Yi, Nangong Yan, Shi Huan and two thousand children of the Lu family to their homes and brought out various foods from their homes.

There are chickens, ducks, rice, and honey.

Many children of the Lu family returned to Juchao again and looked for their original houses.

The whole Juchao was very lively.

It was completely different from when Lu Yi left Juchao. Today, Juchao has changed drastically.

Since Lu Yi retaken Lujiang from Yuan Shu, although Lu Yi has not come to Juchao again, the successive governors of Lujiang County have spent great efforts to improve the development of Juchao.

Many of the unfamiliar faces that appear here are the former governors of Lujiang County who have migrated from various places.

The county government office in Juchao has been rebuilt.

However, the county government office built by Lu Yi and Lu Su is still there!

But no one lives there.

The successive governors of Lujiang County all had people repair the county government office.

This county government has become the pride of the people living in Chao.

Every year when there are three dynasties or weddings, the people in Chao will come here to worship.

The former county government was worshiped as a god.

Lu Yi, Nangong Yan, Shi Huan and others also entered the county government office to review the place where they lived in the past, as if everything was close before their eyes.

After staying in Juchao for half an hour, Lu Yi said goodbye to the people in Juchao and led everyone on their way to Shouchun.

When we arrived at Shouchun, heavy troops had been deployed at the three east, north and west gates of Shouchun.

On the city wall, there are arrays of flags.

This time, Chen Gong and Tai Shici personally came with their generals to greet him.

Lu Yi asked Tai Shici to place the soldiers he brought this time, while he and Chen Gong and other generals inspected the entire Shouchun city defense.

Finally, the group of people arrived at Shouchun's government office.

Lu Yi did not go to Shouchun's palace.

Chen Gong did not arrange for him to live in the palace.

In the government office hall, a sand table from the Central Plains area has been made on a huge wooden table.

Lu Yi stood in front of the sand table, glanced at the hall, and sighed.

He thought of the first time he came here, meeting Yuan Shu, meeting Yan Xiang, and meeting Sun Ce.

At that time, everyone was young.

Although Sun Ce was frustrated under Yuan Shu's command, he already dared to quarrel with other generals under Yuan Shu's command.

But now, these people are gone.Many of them, including Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Liu Xun and others, died.

A laugh rang out: "I still remember the first time I saw Wu Hou here. Wu Hou was so immature at that time!"

Everyone looked over.

The speaker was Ji Ling.

Ji Ling was originally a general under Yuan Shu.

Later, Lu Yi personally led the army to capture Lujiang County. Ji Ling was captured by Zhou Yu's trick, and he has been under Lu Yi's account ever since.

Later, Xu Shu was transferred from Taishi Ci's tent by Lu Yi and went to support Xuzhou.

Ji Ling, on the other hand, was asked to leave by Taishi Ci and came to Lujiang County.

Lu Yi hasn't seen him for more than a year.

Seeing Ji Ling laughing, Lu Yi also laughed and said: "Yes, at that time, I was just a small nest leader."

Ji Ling sighed and said, "But Marquis Wu is so valuable now."

Looking around, Ji Ling said with emotion: "Things have changed. Who would have thought that the little nest leader back then would suddenly become the overlord of one place."

Chen Gong smiled and said: "When Wu Hou came to Shouchun for the first time, I should have been in Yanzhou and under Lu Bu's tent. At that time, we almost killed Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Lu Bu was very reckless at the time and did not listen to advice. As a result, He was defeated by Cao Cao and lost Yanzhou again."

Lu Yi hummed and said, "You were indeed in Yanzhou at that time."

After taking a long breath, Lu Yi eliminated all the complicated thoughts in his mind, and then said: "Okay, no more emotion, now let's talk about the current situation."

Lu Yi looked at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, please talk about the current situation first."

Chen Gong hummed, took out a branch, and kept gesticulating on the sand table: "When Wu Hou sent us the message, I actually heard that the emperor killed Xun Yu and recruited soldiers throughout the Central Plains to defend Yuan Shao and us. There is news in Jiangdong."

"At that time, we were already reorganizing the army and preparing to attack Shouchun."

"Of these, there are only about four days."

"According to the information we currently have, there are indeed soldiers in the Central Plains who responded to the call."

"However, because we responded quickly, Shouchun did not have soldiers on guard."

"As for Xu Du, it is said that there are nearly [-] soldiers, mainly troops provided by some big families nearby."

"In Chenliu, Puyang and other places, it is said that major families formed tribes and went directly to Guandu to prepare for Yuan Shao's move south."

"We have captured Shouchun here. If my predictions are correct, the emperor will probably send people to attack in the next few days."

"It's just that we are not afraid at all."

"Currently, what I'm most worried about is that Yuan Shao will go south, march straight in, and kill here."

"I have sent 5000 people to Xiaopei to prevent Xuzhou from being unable to retreat in time and taking the opportunity to capture Xiaopei when Yuan Shao's army goes south."

When Lu Yi rushed to Shouchun and analyzed the situation of the authorities with Chen Gong, Tai Shici and others.

Xu all.

Emperor Liu Xie led Geng Ji, Kong Rong and other officials to inspect the city wall.

Looking at the soldiers patrolling the city wall, Emperor Liu Xie had a smile on his face.

Sure enough, as the emperor, he responded to every call.

In just a few days, Xudu gathered more than 2 soldiers.

With more than 2 soldiers, it is no problem to defend Xudu!
The group stopped at the west gate of the city and looked towards Shouchun.

Liu Xie pointed at Shouchun and said to Kong Rong: "General Zhennan, now that we have gathered so many troops, Jiangdong has attacked Shouchun. Look, when will we go south and drive Jiangdong out of Shouchun?"

Since soldiers from all over the country came to aid Xu Du, Liu Xie named Geng Ji the general and Kong Rong the Zhennan general, each commanding [-] soldiers.

Kong Rong looked in the direction of Shouchun and said with a faint smile: "Jiangdong is just a group of rebellious ministers. Moreover, they have been fighting for years and the people are not loyal to them. How dare they challenge us?"

"Your Majesty can write an edict to recruit the officials of the Han Dynasty in Jiangdong."

"If Lu Yiming is stubborn, then the army will go south."

"Right now, our main focus is still on dealing with Yuan Shao."

"The latest intelligence shows that Yuan Shao has organized [-] cavalry and [-] infantry archers, coming fiercely."

Liu Xie looked a little ugly.

Kong Rong comforted him: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much."

"No matter how rebellious Yuan Shao is, he is still a minister."

"Moreover, his general Liu Bei is of Han Dynasty blood."

"Xun Chen, Guo Tu and other counselors also have clansmen in Yingchuan."

"We can do things that are counterproductive."

"Now that His Majesty has taken back the power, people with lofty ideals in the world will surely rush to serve."

"We will definitely succeed in preventing Yuan Shao from going south."

Liu Xie took a long breath and said, "Then I'll bother General Zhennan."

Kong Rong said: "This is what I should do."

The group is about to return to the palace.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed over and said: "Report, countless cavalry suddenly appeared outside the north of the city!"

The expressions of Liu Xie, Kong Rong and others suddenly changed.

Liu Xie hurriedly looked at Kong Rong.

Kong Rong walked quickly towards the north gate of the city and comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, maybe it's not the enemy. If it is really the enemy, it would be too fast."

"Perhaps some ambitious person brought the cavalry unit."

Liu Xie hummed.

The group of people quickly rushed to the city wall at the north gate of the city.

Countless cavalry were already arrayed outside the city's north gate.

At a glance, there are at least thousands of people!
Each of these cavalrymen was well-equipped and looked impressive.

When Liu Xie, Kong Rong and others arrived, a gap opened in these cavalry.

Several cavalry generals rode up.

The first two.

One earlobe is a little extra long, and there are two swords hanging on his waist.

The other one is tall and has a dark face.

These two people were clearly the commanders of the two cavalry units under Yuan Shao's tent: Liu Bei and Zhang He!
When Liu Xie, Kong Rong and others saw Liu Bei, their faces turned pale.

Liu Xie was even more shaken.

Sure enough, they are Yuan Shao's cavalry!

How could Yuan Shao's cavalry reach Xudu so quickly?
Is there no one to stop me along the way?

Moreover, one of the people commanding these cavalry turned out to be Liu Bei!

Liu Xie was able to stand firm with the help of Geng Ji and others.

Liu Xie looked down at Liu Bei who was riding up from outside the city. He stretched out his right index finger tremblingly, pointed at Liu Bei, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Emperor, why are you here? Why are you so fast? You, you are mine. Uncle Emperor, please don’t help the tyrants to do evil again! Come and help me now, let’s restore the Han Dynasty together and comfort our ancestors!”

Liu Bei and Zhang He led their generals to the front of the cavalry.

Zhang He looked up at the emperor Liu Xie and others on the city wall with a joking look on his face.

Liu Bei also looked at Liu Xie and others with complicated expressions.

Your Majesty has always been too simple.

Why did you get here so quickly?

Why else?

Cao Cao's army withdrew from the Central Plains, which was now almost defenseless.

And he and Zhang He were ordered to make a surprise attack on Xudu. They gave up all heavy equipment and did not stop them on the way, so they came naturally.

And, it’s not just him who comes.

Behind him, Yuan Shao led one hundred thousand infantry archers who were also on their way over urgently.

In this world, the surname is already Yuan.

But your majesty still dreams of restoring the Han Dynasty
