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

Chapter 49 The Battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu

Xu Gong looked at Lu Yi: "."

The head of the Lu family is young, but he has a lot of ambitions!

Every time I asked him, he would say no more and no less.

How much is no more and no less?
It was obvious that Lu Yi had no intention of telling him. Although Xu Gong was extremely uncomfortable, he couldn't speak out.

This Lu Yi promised not to cause trouble, but also helped him to support his customers, and even gave him [-]% of the profits from the business.

It really drove him to the edge, and by then all of this would be gone.

The most fearful thing is his alliance with Zhu Zhi from Qiantang County and Fuchun County.

Xu Gong let out a long breath.

Therefore, he has always hated these families.

With these families around, officials like myself are constrained everywhere!

The group arrived at the county government office in Wucheng County at noon.

The county government gate is closed!

There is not a single government official around!
Here, many people have already gathered.

They are all bandit leaders from Wujun and Kuaiji areas, and chiefs from Baiyue.

The so-called Baiyue people actually refer to the powerful families in Nanhai, Wujun and Kuaiji.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Nanhai and Wu counties, especially the area around Kuaiji, have been plagued by miasma and poisonous insects. There is too little arable land and the people often go hungry.

In order to seize limited farmland, water sources and other supplies, fights and even killings often occur.

Both sides will call for help.

Over time, everyone joined the group to keep warm and formed groups.

These groups exist like families, but they are not families.

Officials in this area refer to these groups as Qiang clan, which means strengthening the family.

The leaders of these powerful clans are collectively called chiefs.

In Nanhai, Wu Commandery, and especially in Kuaiji, such powerful tribes are everywhere. Therefore, they are collectively called the Baiyue tribe.

There is a very obvious difference between the Baiyue people and the bandits in their clothing and appearance.

Ordinary bandits are still civilized people. They abide by filial piety and "the skin, skin and hair of their bodies are the responsibility of their parents" and will not shave their heads easily.

As for the people of Baiyue, they grew up in a place where miasma and poisonous insects were everywhere, and the weather was hot and humid.

In order to prevent poisonous insects and to reduce heat, they have always had the habit of keeping their hair short.

When Lu Yi, Xu Gong and others arrived, the gathered people formed a clear distinction in their positions.

Almost all bandit leaders stood on the left.

Although there are more than a dozen large and small groups, ranging in number from a dozen to dozens of people, they are centered on two exceptionally tall people in the middle.

The people from Baiyue were scattered on the right side, looking like a pile of scattered sand.

Compared with bandits, the number of each group of these Baiyue people is obviously larger.

Seeing Lu Yi and Xu Gong coming, with a long team behind them, these bandit leaders and the chiefs of Baiyue became a little confused.

Among the bandits, the two big men surrounded in the center looked at each other and came forward first.

Among the Baiyue people, two groups came forward.

The carriage stopped.

Lu Da opened the carriage curtain.

Xu Gongdang walked out first and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's been a long time!"

Behind Xu Gong is Lu Yi.

The bandits and the people from Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Xu Gong.

Two tall men came up quickly.

Xu Gong smiled and pointed to the big man on the left and said to Lu Yi: "Master Lu, this is brother Yan Baihu."

Then he pointed to the big man on the right and said, "This is Yan Yu, the younger brother of Brother Yan Baihu."

Looking at Lu Yi, Xu Gong smiled and said: "Brother Yan Baihu's original name was not this. Because he ran away from home as a thief and was driven away by his parents, he changed his name to Baihu in anger. He is as powerful as a white-fronted tiger with a striking eye."

"Brother Yan Baihu is the leader of this area in Wucheng County. He has thousands of people under his command."

"However, as long as they pay the appropriate supplies and turn in a certain number of young people regularly, the two brothers are still very disciplined."

Lu Yi nodded towards brothers Yan Baihu and Yan Yu.

No wonder they dare to meet at the Wucheng County Yamen Gate.

No wonder Xu Gong didn't dare to do anything to them.

With thousands of people under his command, he is already a prince.

However, Lu Yi couldn't show his timidity now.

These bandit leaders and the chiefs of the Baiyue people are obviously very good at bullying others.

Once they show their timidity, they will climb up the pole.

Moreover, in my memory, brothers Yan Baihu and Yan Yu were completely cowards.

Especially Yan Yu, when he met Sun Ce, he was killed by Sun Ce in front of countless bandits.

It is enough to see that we cannot elevate them.

When brothers Yan Baihu and Yan Yu saw Lu Yi facing them, they didn't pay attention to him, and their faces looked ugly.

Although their home base is in Wucheng County, their influence spreads throughout Wu County.

Even Xu Gong, the governor of Wu County, called them brothers.

How dare a family head look down on them like this!

After taking a look at the hundreds of big men behind the carriage, the two brothers looked at each other and nodded secretly.

These should be all the elites of the Lu family.

People from the Lu family would never dare to fight head-on with him.

Otherwise, if these people die, the Lu family will be finished.

Therefore, these people look strong but have nothing to fear.

Yan Yu grabbed Lu Yi, who was about to face the other bandit leaders, and sneered: "Master Lu, you seem to be a little too cold towards my two brothers, right? Why, you look down on us? Although there are only a dozen of us coming to the county government this time Individuals, but all around here are our people.”

Xu Gong watched this scene without making a sound.

He also wanted to use these bandit leaders and the chiefs of Baiyue to suppress Lu Yi's arrogance.

In this way, the Lu family can be better controlled in the future.

When the other bandit leaders saw this, they started to boo.

To bandits like them, Yan Baihu was equivalent to the commander-in-chief, the overall leader.

The commander-in-chief and the chief wanted to deal with the head of the Lu family, so they could only agree.

The chiefs of Baiyue on the side also looked at this scene with cold eyes.

They also wanted to see the Lu family's courage.If he doesn't have the courage to deal with these bandits, then he is not qualified to do business with them.

Lu Yi glanced at Yan Yu, smiled and said, "Brother, do you think I'm young? Or do you think the Lu family doesn't need to be afraid?"

Yan Yu grinned and said: "We all have it, what's the matter? In Wu County, even the county guard has to give us three points of courtesy. How dare you, the head of a small family, be so cold! What, you look down on my tens of thousands of brothers in Wu County?" "

Lu Yi nodded and said, "Yes."

Yan Yu pulled out the sword from his waist and said angrily: "Bold-"

Just after he finished speaking, Lu Yi said to Shi Huan and Xu Shu: "Do it!"

Five hundred Danyang soldiers quickly surrounded all the bandits on the left!

Without saying a word, Shi Huan took the lead and rushed into the bandits, chopping down melons and vegetables with the big knife in his hand!
Five hundred Danyang soldiers followed Tao Qian and the cavalry general Huangfu Song, fighting the Yellow Turbans all the way against the Qiang and Hu tribes, surviving from the mountain of corpses to the sea of ​​blood until now.

How could he be afraid of a group of bandits?
Moreover, they have been training secretly in Guangling County in recent years.

Originally, Tao Qian was planning to take them away from Xuzhou and settle down in his hometown in Danyang County.

Unfortunately, Tao Qian eventually died of illness.

These years of training have made them cooperate with each other very well.

After a while, these bandits fell into a pool of blood!

Shi Huan directly killed Yan Baihu and Yan Yu.

Seeing this, Xu Shu hurriedly protected Lu Yi.

Seeing that the fighting had started, Lu Su asked Lu Da to lead ten men and Shi Huan to besiege Yan Baihu and Yan Yu brothers, while he led others to protect Lu Yi and Xu Gong in the middle.

The situation is one-sided.

The Baiyue people on the side watched this scene and took a deep breath.

They are a little scared!
These people brought by the Lu family are much more terrifying than the people from the government.

Well trained.

Feel like a border guard!
Seeing that Yan Baihu and Yan Yu were about to be killed, Xu Gong hurriedly said to Lu Yi: "Master Lu, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Stop it now! If we continue to kill each other, we will become enemies. How can we do business?"

Lu Yi nodded and said: "Stop everyone!"

Shi Huan glared at Yan Baihu fiercely, as if he would go up to fight if he disagreed.

Five hundred Danyang soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.

Brothers Yan Baihu and Yan Yu looked very pale as they looked at the dozens of corpses of bandits at their feet, but not a single corpse of the Lu family.

too strong!
The Lu family mainly didn't stop it, and felt like they were killed before they even attracted anyone else!
Yan Baihu looked at Lu Yi, glanced around at the Danyang soldiers and said, "Dare you ask the head of the Lu family, these warriors——"

Lu Yi said honestly: "They are all Danyang veterans who survived following the cavalry general Huangfu Song. They not only killed the Yellow Turban bandits, but also defeated the barbarians. Now, they follow my Lu family."

The crowd suddenly exploded.

"Nonsense!"

"They actually survived the fight against the barbarians!"

"It is said that the Hu people are extremely ferocious and good at riding and shooting."

Lu Yi ignored these people's comments and said to Xu Gong: "Chief Xu, please continue to recommend other heroes."

Xu Gong also glanced at the Danyang soldiers around him with some fear, nodded, and led Lu Yi to meet everyone.

Among the bandits and Baiyue people who came this time, the most powerful ones, besides brothers Yan Baihu and Yan Yu, were the Baiyue chiefs Hong Ming, Hong Jin, Yuan Yu, Wu Min, Hua Dang and others.

Having just been shocked, Lu Yi asked Qiao Hao and Fang Hao to come out again and presented various amounts of gold and silver jewelry to each bandit leader and the chiefs of Baiyue.

The purpose of deterrence is to prevent them from making any decisions when doing business in the future.

The purpose of sending gold, silver and jewelry was to let them understand that the Lu family had enough financial resources to ensure the flow of materials between them.

After delivering the gold, silver and jewelry, Lu Yi and Xu Gong took the throne and asked Qiao Hao and Fang Hao to come out and be the ones in charge of the future business between the Lu family and these bandits and Baiyue people.

Qiao Hao informed everyone about the types of business the Lu family did with these bandits and Baiyue people, and showed the prices of the Lu family's customized goods.

The whole process lasted for nearly an hour.

These bandit leaders and the chiefs of Baiyue were quite satisfied.

From Qiao Hao's mouth, they learned that they could rely on selling various ores, medicinal materials, trees, etc. in exchange for food from the Lu family.

Food is the most important to these bandits and the people of Baiyue!
But now there is drought everywhere and there are government obstructions. Food is the thing they lack most.

Now, they are eager to have the Lu family come forward to help them obtain these grains.

Moreover, the Lu family is very bold and willing to send people to their various lairs to trade.

After the explanation, Qiao Hao agreed with the bandit leaders and the chiefs of Baiyue on the approximate time of the first transaction and the approximate amount of food. Then he followed Lu Yi, Xu Gong and others to leave Wucheng County and return to Wuxian County. .

On the tenth day after returning to Wu County, Xu Gong sent fifty retainers.

Lu Yi placed them under Shi Huan and treated them like guests.

For the next three months, Qiao Hao led some members of the Lu family to form a convoy and went to Jingzhou and other places to purchase grain, raw materials for rouge and other materials.

The Lu family members have set aside a group of people to specialize in making rouge.

Qiao Hao also successfully carried out the first trade with the bandits and Baiyue people in Wujun and Kuaiji with the grain purchased from Jingzhou.

On December [-], the first year of Xingping, it was snowing heavily. Lu Yi was talking to Zhuge Ruoxue, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Lu Su, Lu Su's grandmother, Xu Shu, Xu Shu's mother, Lu Ji, Lu Xun, Sheng Xian, Gao Dai, Gao Dai's mother, Nangong Yan and others were warming themselves by the fire in the hall, drinking some hot water and cakes.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside.

Everyone looked over in confusion.

I saw a figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat walking over.

It was Qiao Hao.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao got up hurriedly, walked outside the threshold, took off Qiao Hao's bamboo hat, took off his raincoat, and shook off the white snow on it.

Xiao Qiao said: "Father, why are you back today? My sister and I were worried that you wouldn't be able to come back on New Year's Day this year!"

Qiao Hao looked at Lu Yi who was sitting in the room kneeling by the stove and said: "Fang Hao and I are going to Shouchun to sell rouge, and the business is not bad. Originally, I was planning to sell out the rouge before coming back. Who knows, I heard two incredible things? News, so I rushed back."

Lu Yi quickly stood up, went up with hot tea and said, "Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

Qiao Hao thanked him, took the hot tea, took a sip, and then walked into the hall and said: "The first news is that Yuan Shu and Liu Bei fought in Huaiyin last month, and Liu Bei was defeated. If it hadn't been for the heavy snow, Yuan Shu would have The army will continue to attack the city."

Lu Yi: "."

Sure enough, Liu Bei still followed the old path of history.

Even if he gets Xuzhou, he can't hold it at all.

Qiao Hao knelt down next to Sheng Xian, stretched out his hand, put it on the stove, and continued: "Second news, Sun Ce has recruited nearly [-] soldiers in Liyang in the past six months, and the ships have been built. As soon as the spring comes next year, it should be It will cross the river and come."

"It is said that these six thousand soldiers are supported by the Zhou family and have sufficient weapons and food."

"I've been to the area to see them, and they're well-trained!"

"Moreover, I met Bu Bu, the young master of the Zhou family."

"Our Wu County is almost in danger of being destroyed."

After hearing what Qiao Hao said, everyone looked at Lu Yi.

Sheng Xian said hurriedly: "Master Lu, what are the Lu family's plans? Are they going to move again? Or are they going to aid Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou, and jointly fight against Sun Ce?"
