The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

()013-12-17

In the prefect's mansion, countless civil servants and generals were sitting, but Liu Xun all put on a haughty look, only for a young scholar standing in the corner, his expression was extremely solemn, faint, and there was a hint of asking for advice :

"Now that Lu Thief's army is coming, I wonder if you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"The prefect is serious!"

At the corner, the young man who had lowered his head in thought slowly raised his head. He has sword eyebrows and star eyes, a high nose and a broad mouth, and he has a natural noble appearance.Every move, but also gentle, elegant and extraordinary.

This person is Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang, a famous person in Huainan, who is currently serving as Liu Xun's staff.Regardless of his staff, Liu Ye seldom advises Liu Xun.

This time, he didn't intend to participate, so he kept his head down.It wasn't until Liu Xun asked him that Liu Ye smiled and said calmly: "If the Bingzhou army wants to attack Lujiang, it must pass through Shiting. .”

"You only need to hold on for more than ten days. When Cao Jun arrives, then Lu Yi will not be able to fight, and he is afraid that his back will be cut off, so he will retreat without fighting!"

"Good plan!"

Liu Xun was not allowed to speak, and all the generals present all agreed in unison, asking them to fight with the Bingzhou army, none of them had the guts to do so.Being able to defend Shiting to the death, waiting for Cao's army to kill them, and losing to Lu Yilai, many people are naturally happy to see it.

Even Liu Xun couldn't help but nodded, and took a deep look at Liu Ye, but his heart became more and more apprehensive.Although he knew that Liu Ye was a great talent, but in the end Liu Ye was a clan member of the Han family, which made Liu Xun dare not treat Liu Ye as his confidant.

Now, seeing Liu Ye's few words again, just to attract the support of the generals, how could he have no idea in his heart.

After all, Liu Xun was apprehensive about being a vassal on one side of the separatist regime, but on the outside he became more and more kind to Liu Ye, stroked his beard lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. People, who is the most suitable person to send?"

Dozens of military generals immediately became short of breath, and many of them stared wide-eyed, looking at Liu Ye anxiously, lest he say their names.

Liu Ye sighed slightly, although he was Liu Xun's aide, he also knew that Liu Xun had always been suspicious of him, so he would not easily offend others, so he shook his head quickly.Just about to shirk.

At this moment, suddenly, there were bursts of hurried footsteps outside, General Liu Shi walked in quickly, first glanced at Liu Ye with a strange expression, then walked towards Liu Xun, and said in a low voice: "My lord, The general discovered a strange thing at the end..."

Liu Shi leaned into Liu Xun's ear, and told how the knight he met in Zhongyuan recognized the wrong person, and how he accidentally dropped a secret letter and was picked up by him.

Originally, such a trivial matter was not worthy of Liu Shi's haste, but on the outside of that letter, a big Cao character was written!

In today's world, in the Central Plains, no one knows the power of Cao Cao, as long as it concerns Cao Cao, there is no small matter.That's why Liu Shi immediately ran over and told Liu Xun.

As soon as Liu Xun heard it, he really became suspicious. He was already on guard against Liu Ye, but now he heard that Cao Cao ordered someone to deliver a letter to Liu Ye. How could he not be surprised, and said in a deep voice: "The letter, let me see it. !"

"My lord, is it right here?" Liu Shi hesitated slightly, and glanced casually at Liu Ye who was sitting on the seat.

Liu Ye smiled and nodded, looking calm and calm, but there was a shadow of uneasiness in his heart for no reason, and he couldn't help guessing what Liu Shi was saying about himself.

Seeing Liu Ye's calm expression, Liu Xun hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, just bring me the letter to read!"

Liu Shi didn't dare to neglect, he quickly took out the letter and handed it to Liu Xun.

Another glance at the calm and composed Liu Ye, Liu Xun tore open the envelope, opened the letter, and read it carefully, but at this glance, Liu Xun's expression changed drastically.

On the letter, every word is full of thick ink, very vigorous, the writing power is even more vigorous, and there is a faint sense of domineering!

This is Cao Cao's character!

In the early years, Liu Xun had a close relationship with Cao Cao, and he recognized these handwritings at a glance, which were written by Cao Cao himself, and his suspicion became more and more intense.

With a cold face, he read it from the beginning to the end, and he couldn't help sweating like rain. He stared at the letter for a long time, and then he roared and said furiously: "Bold Liu Ye!" , I treat you well, how dare you betray me? Someone, drag this person out and behead him for public display!"

"what?"

All the civil servants and generals sitting here were shocked, and they were speechless for a long time. Liu Ye was even more panicked, but his face was extremely calm, and he said loudly: "Dare to ask the prefect, what did I do? What do you want?" kill me!"

"That's right, my lord, what happened? Liu Ziyang is a famous scholar in Lujiang, and he is also a member of the great Han clan. Please show me your grace!"

A group of civil servants and military generals spoke out to intercede for Liu Ye.

Seeing this scene, Liu Shi sneered, but Liu Xun was shocked.There are 31 people in Lujiang Civil and Military Affairs, and 21 people are pleading for Liu Ye!Already more than half!

In Liu Xun's eyes, the murderous intent became more and more fierce, but he also knew that if Liu Ye was killed for no reason, everyone in the army would be in danger, so he could only put down the letter with a slap on his face. .

"See for yourself!"

Ordinary civil servants rushed over, just took a look, they all exclaimed, and passed it on quickly, but ordinary generals, everyone was angry and looked at Liu Ye with unfriendly eyes.

This made Liu Ye feel even worse, but the incident happened so suddenly, he still hasn't figured out what's going on, how to deal with it?

"Hmph! Liu Ye, I never thought that your grand family member would do such a shameless thing. We misread you!" On the side of civil servants, they turned against Liu Xun collectively, and those who supported Liu Ye just now , At this time, he yelled even more, lest Liu Xun would not hear him.

On the side of the generals, everyone was also vicious, so excited that they even drew their swords, waiting for Liu Xun's order to kill Liu Ye on the spot.

Many people even said "traitor" in their mouths. "Cao Junjian detailed" and other words.

Liu Ye's heart became more and more flustered, but on the surface, he still tried his best to maintain a calm appearance.Seeing that everyone had finished reading the letter, Liu Ye hurried over, leaned over to pick up the letter, just read it, and there was a rumble in his head.

There was a thunderous explosion!

a bolt from the blue!

This letter turned out to be a conspiracy letter written by Cao Cao!In the letter, Cao Cao made it clear that he would lead the army south to attack Huainan soon, and Liu Ye must endure for a few days and work hard to respond internally.

"This letter is fake!"

Liu Ye's complexion darkened, and countless thoughts turned, and he quickly realized that someone was trying to frame him, how could he just die unjustly, and hurriedly discerned.

"Fake?" Liu Xun, who was furious, gradually calmed down. The main reason was that he couldn't help feeling suspicious when he saw Liu Ye was extremely calm all the time, and he didn't immediately order the guards to take Liu Ye down to kill him.

Liu Ye heaved a sigh of relief, quickly picked up the letter, pointed to the handwriting on it and said: "Everyone, please see that this letter is written by Cao Mengde himself, but there is no seal at the end, and the handwriting is also a little stiff. It can be seen that someone forged it! "

"Bold! Liu Ziyang, when I was in Luoyang, I was also a close friend of Cao Mengde. Could I read his handwriting wrong? It's clearly you who are sophistrying, come here, drag him out!"

When Liu Xun heard it, he felt that Liu Ye's words were obviously suspected of ridiculing him, which was very harsh.

The anger that had just been suppressed burst out again, and without giving Liu Ye a chance to speak, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to drag Liu Ye outside.

"Hahaha....I don't regret the death of Liu Ye, but it's a pity that you, the eunuch, fell into Lu Yi's scheme!" Liu Ye did not resist this time, but laughed loudly, and there was no one who was about to die. That look of despair, even calm.

"Wait a minute!"

When Liu Xun heard it, he hesitated again, picked up the letter again and read it carefully, but it felt a little stiff and not so smooth, but, it may also be Cao Cao's scribbled writing.

The most important point is that Liu Ye is a clan relative. This level of status is enough to make Liu Xun on guard and fear. Without clear evidence, he still dare not really kill Liu Ye. He can only look at everyone and ask Said: "What do you think, how should I deal with Liu Ye?"

"This……"

All the civil and military officials looked at each other, unable to figure out what Liu Xun was thinking. Who dared to speak first, but Liu Shi who was on the side seemed to have vaguely guessed something, and tentatively said: "My lord, I think about it carefully, and I also feel that something is a bit strange. , why don't we lock him up first, and when we find out the truth and leave him speechless, we can kill him later!"

"Well, that's fine too!"

After all, where is the identity of the clan of the Han family? Liu Xun was also afraid that killing Liu Ye at will would cause public anger, so he could only use the donkey to go downhill and ordered: "Come on, put Liu Ye in prison for me, carefully Check it out!"

"My lord, it's not right! This person's status is different, so if he is sent to prison at will, I'm afraid it will cause criticism. It's better to be under house arrest!"

Another scribe stood up and spoke to Liu Xun.

"In that case! Let's do as you say! Liu Shi, you personally bring the troops, and I will escort this person back home, and search his home by the way, to see if we can find evidence of this person's collusion with the enemy!"

Liu Xun was extremely annoyed and waved his hand, ordered someone to drag Liu Ye away, and then his face darkened, with a hesitant look on his face, although he didn't dare to trust Liu Ye anymore, after all Liu Xun knew that Liu Ye was a great talent, he Liu Xun's heart was naturally moved by his strategy.

He was hesitating whether he should follow Liu Ye's suggestion and send people to guard Shiting. If he could really block Lu Yi for ten or eight days, not to mention Cao Jun in the Central Plains, even if he asked Jiangdong for help, there would be enough time. <The Bingzhou Army has officially left Shouchun and is heading towards Lujiang.

A total of [-] soldiers were divided by Lu Yi into three armies, front and back, and three armies. They responded in pairs to prevent sudden attacks by the enemy. After all, the current Bingzhou army is different from before. It is luggage.

Five thousand newly joined Yuan Jun was left behind by Lu Yi, under the command of Zang Ba, who was responsible for guarding the supplies and protecting the family members of the army.

As for the Chinese army, Gao Shun commanded the infantry and carried all kinds of siege equipment.As for the former army, it was Lu Yi who personally led the army, galloping towards the Lujiang River at full speed. <In between, there is a place named Shiting, where the mountains are steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Liu Xun and Chen Bing are in Shiting, with Liu Ye assisting them, it will be too bad for the Bingzhou army.

What Lu Yi had to do was to rush to Shiting, while Liu Xun was still constructing the fortifications, to defeat Liu Xun's arrangement as quickly as possible.

However, on the way of marching, something unexpected happened to Lu Yi. Just as he was leading the cavalry passing through Shucheng, Zhang Liao, who was exploring the way ahead, was walking towards Lu Yi with two scribes. Come.

The two scribes, one with a round face and a fair face, the other with a pale face, when they saw Lu Yi, they bowed and bowed down, saying in a low voice, "Xu Si, Wang Kai, I have seen the Major General!"

Xu Si, Wang Kai?

<Ask Yuan Shu for help, and want to deal with Cao Cao together.

It's just that Yuan Shu didn't have time to send troops, and Xiapi was lost.The subsequent Bingzhou army was also torn apart. Since then, Lu Yi has not heard any news from these two men.

Unexpectedly, they appeared together again at this time. < Afterwards, there was no news, so where did the so-called come from? "

<b求援，只是援兵未至，温侯已然兵败，不得已，我二人只能留在扬州，后来听人说，有一支并州军要来攻打庐江，我们料到是少将军前来，特来效力！”

"I am willing to serve for the Major General!" Wang Kai also nodded hastily, and said in a deep voice, his attitude was very sincere.

This made Lu Yi's face slightly softened.These two people were originally civil servants of the Bingzhou Army. Although they were not from high families, they still had some skills.It's okay to stay.

"Get up! It's just that I'm wandering around now. If you want to follow me, you must be prepared to suffer!"

Lu Yi didn't mean to blame the two, after all, they were loyal to Lu Bu, and if Lu Bu died, they were free to take refuge with anyone.

But they finally chose to return to the state army, which is a kind of sincerity in itself.Lu Yi could not refuse.However, it will take some time for him to completely trust these two people.

Xu Si and Wang Kai under his command were just an accident during the march. After sending two soldiers to send Xu Si and Wang Kai into the central army, Lu Yi's cavalry soon approached the Shiting place!

Lu Yi's face also gradually became solemn...
