The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

In the city of Huayin, Duan Yan's face was full of embarrassment. .Although he still has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, there are more than [-] captives outside the city, and these captives are all part of his movement.

Many people in the city are related to them.

Duan Yan knew that if he did not surrender at this time and allowed Lu Yi to kill the captives, the first consequence would be that everyone in the city would fight to the death, and the second consequence would be that the central general of the city would rebel, kill him, and surrender in Kaesong.

Even if the general does not rebel, after going through this incident, there will be dissension between him and Buqu, and the subordinates may mutiny at any time.

Duan Yao dared not take such a risk.So at the request of the nearby trilogy, Duan Yan only hesitated a little, and opened the door to surrender.

Immediately bursts of cheers came from the top of the city. They were just a group of ordinary people, not real soldiers. The soldiers were naturally happy if they could not fight, not to mention they could save their relatives outside the city.

Not long after Duan Yan nodded, soldiers who couldn't wait opened the city gate.Duan Yan also led the civil and military generals in the city, holding the seal in his hand, walked out of the city, knelt under Lu Yi's horse, and expressed his submission.

How could Lu Yi want Duan Yan to kneel and worship him? He hurriedly got off the horse, supported Duan Yan who was about to kneel down, and said in a deep voice: "General Duan doesn't need to do this. I have heard the name of General for a long time, but I just wish I could see him!"

Duan Yan also stood up, and said with a complex expression: "An old man is nothing more than a literati, how dare he be a general! In the city of Huayin, this old man still has tens of thousands of people, and he is willing to lead the people under the command of General Lu!"

"It's really my good fortune to have the help of the general!" Lu Yi finally showed a satisfied smile when he saw Duan Yan being so knowledgeable.As expected of someone who can separatize Huayin.

To be able to gain a place among the generals in Guanzhong as a civil servant, this person is very knowledgeable about current affairs!Count as the last talent.It's just that Lu Yi sneered at Duan Yan's so-called more than ten thousand parts.

These more than [-] parts contain too much water, obviously Duan Yan deliberately exaggerated in order to show his own weight.Lu Yi knew it well, but it was hard to expose it.He just smiled lightly, and at Duan Yan's invitation, he led the army into the Huayin county government office.

Duan Yan was at the side, and when he saw Lu Yi take the seat that once belonged to him, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and asked respectfully: "General Lu, is he here intending to seize Guanzhong?"

"That's it!" Lu Yi replied vaguely, anyway, the place he wanted to seize was very close to Guanzhong.But Lu Yi is not in the mood to tell Duan Yan his strategy now.After exchanging a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point and said, "General Duan, I don't know Jia Xu's family, but are they in the city?"

Duan Yan's complexion changed, he glanced at Lu Yi in surprise, and said honestly: "Yes, Wen He's family is in my residence! If the general wants to see you, I will ask them to come out!"

"No need! Send an order to send [-] soldiers to protect Jia Xu's family without any mistakes!"

Hearing that Jia Xu's family was indeed here, Lu Yi felt relieved.There was also a hint of excitement on his face, and then he turned his head again, looking at Duan Yao who was nervous, with a mysterious smile on his face.

…………

The head of Wancheng city.

Just when the Bingzhou army captured Huayin, Jia Xu's eyelids twitched suddenly on the city tower, and he felt a feeling of fright.I couldn't help walking up and down the tower irritably.

He didn't know why he had such a feeling, but Jia Xu always felt that there was something wrong with the cavalry outside the city, very wrong!

But what was wrong, he couldn't tell. Although there were only [-] heavy armored cavalry outside the city, Zhang Xiu, who suffered a loss, did not dare to send spies out of the city at all. He just planned to defend Wancheng and wait for reinforcements from all directions.

Seeing Jia Xu walking around the city irritably, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel strange, Jia Xu has always been calm and calm, and this is the first time he has seen Jia Xu so irritated.

"Military division, but is there something wrong with the cavalry outside the city?" Zhang Xiu asked curiously, and then glanced at the heavy cavalry that appeared outside the city from time to time, envious. [

"My lord, the old man can't tell. I just feel that something is wrong! The cavalry outside the city is too quiet, it's not like the style of the Bingzhou army! There are also Lu Yi's infantry, two days have passed, but there has been no movement !” Jia Xu said in a solemn tone.

"Haha Commander, I'm afraid you are overthinking. As long as we stick to Wancheng and let Lu Yi's myriad strategies work for us, as for the delay in his pawns disappearing, I think it may be because we heard that our reinforcements have arrived. , ran to intercept it!"

Pointing to a wisp of dust falling from his body, Zhang Xiu said very easily.

"Reinforcement? Reinforcement!" Jia Xu's expression became more dignified. He murmured and repeated the words "reinforcement army" several times. The army is going to attack Wuguan!"

"what?"

Zhang Xiu was also shocked, and then he didn't believe it, he shook his head and said: "How is it possible, the land of Wuguan is guarded by Duan Yao's three thousand elite soldiers, how can Lu Yi take it!"

"Otherwise! In the Bingzhou army, there are many strong generals, and there are many skilled fighters under them. Wuguan has no generals, but it is difficult to defend with Duan Yan's three thousand pieces!"

Jia Xu suddenly turned pale.He said in a panicked tone, he thought of his family members, who are also in Huayin now, if Wuguan is breached, and Huayin is attacked by the state army...

Jia Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore, but regretted, "It's the old man's mistake! I'm afraid the ultimate goal of the Bingzhou Army is to enter Chang'an! My lord, we must send people to Xuchang to ask for help! Cao Jun please hurry up!"

"But what about the cavalry outside the city? I'm afraid the courier will be overtaken by the Bingzhou army as soon as he leaves the city!" Zhang Xiu said with a full face.She also looked at Jia Xu with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Zhang Xiu also knew that Jia Xu's family was in Huayin. He used to think it was safe there, but who knew that the Bingzhou army would suddenly come from Nanyang.

"Military officer, don't worry! There are more than [-] pieces in Duan Yao's place anyway, so it's not a problem to stick to it for a few days. Besides, he can also ask Chang'an for reinforcements. And then Lu Yi may not know that the military officer's family is in Huayin!" Zhang Xiu sighed. , can only comfort Jia Xudao in this way.

Jia Xu's eyes also brightened. That's right, he left his family in Huayin, and very few people knew about it. Even if Huayin was compromised, his family could hide quickly.

A confident smile appeared on Jia Xu's face again, and he regained his composure and indifference, standing quietly in an inconspicuous corner, looking coldly outside the city.

The day passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Jia Xu got up early, went to the city in person, and looked outside carefully. There were still three thousand heavy armor gathered outside the city.

There was no sign of Bingzhou Army infantry.

A relaxed smile suddenly appeared on Jia Xu's gloomy face.

However, before Jia Xu's smile widened, the Bingzhou cavalry outside the city were slowly running towards Wancheng.In the lead was a majestic burly man, with one hand holding a huge Lu Zishuai flag, flying high.

At the front of the army, Lu Yi was holding a steel knife in his arms. On the left and right sides were Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. Beside Lu Yi, there was an old man in Chinese clothes, who was Huayin Duan Yan.

Duan Yan was full of regret, looked in the direction of Wancheng, and sighed: "General Lu, although Wen He and I are good friends, but if you want me to persuade him to surrender, he may not listen to me!"

"It's okay, as long as you go to the city, tell that Zhang Xiu that I want to meet him!" Lu Yi looked at Duan Yao indifferently.

Duan Yan felt chills from Lu Yi's gaze, and a feeling of fear gradually emerged in his heart. In Huayin City, his family is still "protected" by the Bingzhou Army. Even in Duan Yan's heart, No matter how unwilling he was, he could only bite the bullet and head towards Wancheng.

"Don't shoot arrows, I'm Duan Yao! I have something important to meet with General Zhang!" Duan Yao loudly revealed his identity while running towards Wancheng.

"Duan Yao, it's really Duan Yao!"

Ding Ding Deng!

On the top of the wall, Jia Xu stepped back three steps in a row, his face turned pale in an instant.

"Army, what's the matter with you?" The nearby soldiers were shocked. Jia Xu was in the Xiliang Army and had great prestige. Many people immediately showed worried expressions.

"The old man is fine, hurry up, open the gate of the city quickly, let General Duan enter the city, and quickly order someone to notify the lord!" After the initial panic, Jia Xu quickly calmed down.

He quickly rushed down the tower and ran towards the city gate.

Outside the city, Lu Yi watched coldly as the gate of Wancheng was opened, and then Duan Yan's figure gradually disappeared into the city, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

He has captured Jia Xu's family, now, it depends on Jia Xu's choice.

In the city, Jia Xu was caught in a dilemma. Seeing Duan Yao enter the city, he knew that his family might have fallen into Lu Yi's hands.

This made Jia Xu a little angry. When she saw Duan Yan coming in, she rushed up and said sharply: "Duan Yan, I entrusted my family to you, how did you guarantee it? Why did you betray me today?"

"Wenhe! This is none of my business!" Duan Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and explained: "Na Lu Yi forced me to use my trilogy, so I had no choice but to surrender. As for your family, I don't have a word Mention it, but Lu Yi seems to have known it long ago! As soon as you enter the city, ask me for your family!"

"What? Then how did Lu Yi know that my family is in Huayin?" Jia Xu was really shocked this time. His family information, not to mention Cao Yu, even Zhong Yao in Chang'an, who is close at hand, didn't know it. How did the Bingzhou army know about this news!

Jia Xu only felt stares in his eyes, and almost fainted, but Zhang Xiu who heard the news rushed to support him.

Seeing Duan Yan, Zhang Xiu's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, and he asked, "General Duan, are you here to be a lobbyist for Lu Yi?"

"No!" Duan Yan shook his head again, and said with a wry smile: "General Lu asked the old man to bring you a message. If the general still admits that Zhang Ji is your uncle, then meet him alone outside the city!"

"See you alone?" Zhang Xiu repeated, looking at Jia Xu habitually.

Jia Xu's eyes were cold, he forced himself to calm down, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well agree! Now that Lu Yi has joined Hua Yin's crowd, the number of people has increased rapidly, and Wancheng is really no match for him!"

In fact, Jia Xu's words were still hidden.He wanted to inquire about his family's situation, that's why he urged Zhang Xiu to leave the city.

Zhang Xiu was already used to following Jia Xu's advice, so he nodded after thinking about it for a while, ordered someone to open the city gate, and then walked out of the city with Jia Xu and Duan Yao.

"My lord, that Zhang Xiu actually came out!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

There was also a hint of joy on Lu Yi's face. Holding the steel knife in his arms, he turned his head and said, "The order is for the army to retreat three hundred steps, Zilong. Come with me!"

Although his martial arts skills were good, Zhang Xiu was famous in the Xiliang army, so Lu Yi had to be careful, so he took Zhao Yun with him, and the two of them approached Wancheng together, staying a hundred steps away from the city wall.

At this distance, even if a cold arrow is shot from the top of the wall, he can still defend against it.

Seeing that the Bingzhou army retreated, Zhang Xiu was relieved to leave only Lu Yi and Zhao Yun behind.So he rode his horse and stepped forward together with Jia Xu and Duan Yao, three steps away, Zhang Xiu with a dark face, shouted: "Lu Yi, you and I are enemies, if you want to see me, what else can you say?"

Lu Yi laughed, shook his head and said, "General Zhang, your enemy is not me, but Cao Cao. Speaking of which, we are a little bit alike,

I inherited the Bingzhou Army from my uncle. In order to fulfill my uncle's last wish, I did not hesitate to die. General Zhang, you also inherited the Xiliang Army from your uncle, but now, your uncle has been humiliated.But you want to take refuge with the enemy who insulted your uncle, isn't it a joke for the world? "

"Lu Yi, if you hadn't been too aggressive, I would have surrendered to Cao Cao!" Zhang Xiu was poked in pain, his face turned red, and he argued forcefully.

Lu Yi couldn't help laughing, and said coldly: "Zhang Xiu, if you don't help Liu Biao deal with me, how can I force you? Let's not talk about this for now, I'll ask you to come here, just to remind you that Cao Cao is in great trouble now , you go to seek refuge, he may ignore the past, spare your life, and even in order to silence the world, he will give you high officials and rich salary.

But, you are thinking, if Cao O gets out of the predicament, if Cao O is a hundred years later, will the rest of the Cao family let you go?The revenge of killing a son is irreconcilable!If I were Cao O, even if I didn't know how to deal with you, I would instruct my son to find any excuse to kill you all over the house!General Zhang, think about it carefully, is it worth it to take refuge in Cao Cao? "

After finishing speaking, Lu Yi didn't talk to Zhang Xiu any more, but only looked at Jia Xu meaningfully, and then he took Zhao Yun and turned back to the army.

The horseshoes rumbled, and the Bingzhou Army gradually retreated.

Jia Xu frowned, and watched the Bingzhou army go away without saying a word, but there was a trace of depression in her eyes.He looked at Zhang Xiu, and saw that Zhang Xiu was in a daze, so he couldn't help but change his voice: "My lord?"

"Hey! Lu Yi's words are really full of blood!" Zhang Xiu sighed heavily, with a hesitant look on his face. Obviously, Lu Yi's words touched him greatly.

Zhang Xiu's determination to subdue Cao was no longer firm. He looked at Jia Xu and said hesitantly, "Military Master, what do you think of Lu Yi's words? After all, it's revenge for murdering my son! Will the Cao family really let me go?"

"This,..." Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and subconsciously he wanted to strengthen Zhang Xiu's determination to surrender to Cao Cao, who was also the master he chose.But when the words came to his lips, Jia Xu's heart trembled slightly again, thinking of his family.I thought of Lu Yi's meaningful eyes when he left.

In the end, Jia Xu was silent and didn't speak.

Seeing Jia Xu's silence, Zhang Xiu was even more disturbed.He thought that Jia Xu's silence represented acquiescence, an acknowledgment that Lu Yi's words were very likely to happen.

It was a matter of family life, how could Zhang Xiu be moved? He looked at the Bingzhou army in the distance, and then at the direction of Wancheng. army's attack.

So far, he can only choose one side to take refuge in!

"Military division, it seems that I am really not expected to be a prince. Now the Bingzhou army is like a pack of wolves, and Cao Cao is like a tiger. Tell me, who should I surrender to be superior?"

Zhang Xiu humbly asked for advice.

"It goes without saying that if someone kills my son, the old man will fight to the death and will not let him go! General Zhang, surrendering Cao, the risk is too great!"

Duan Yan was by his side, seeing that Zhang Xiu's heart was shaken, he hurriedly interjected; what he said was true and human, Zhang Xiu immediately took it seriously, but he still had to wait for Jia Xu to give him an idea.

Jia Xu smiled wryly, his heart wavered violently. Between Cao Yu and his relatives, he finally chose his relatives, and said through gritted teeth: "My lord, it's because I neglected to surrender to Cao before, and the future troubles are too great. It is best to surrender to Lu." This Lu Yi is quite a hero, and now there is a shortage of major generals, if we join, we will be reused, wouldn't it be more honorable than being a rich man in Xuchang?"

"The military adviser is right! Cao Cao insulted my uncle, I, Zhang Xiu, a handsome man, how can I join forces with the enemy!" With Jia Xu's affirmation, Zhang Xiu doubted again, called to wait a moment, and quickly walked towards Bingzhou Chase where the army left.

Not far away, Lu Yi was also worried. He didn't know what choice Zhang Xiu would make. After all, Wancheng was too close to Xuchang. If he stayed here for a long time, there was no guarantee that Cao Cao would not come to the south again.

"General Lu, go slowly! Go slowly!"

Zhang Xiu had made up his mind, and he no longer had any scruples. He rode alone and chased after him.

Naturally, Lu Yi heard Zhang Xiu's cry, and he was overjoyed. Knowing that Zhang Xiu might be shaken, he hurriedly stopped the soldiers and horses, turned around and came to the rear of the army, suppressed his beating heart, and said coldly: "General Zhang Call me, but you want to fight me?"

"How dare a certain family!" Zhang Xiu smiled wryly, and suddenly got off his horse, threw away his golden gun, bowed his head and said: "What General Lu said just now really made Zhang Xiu suddenly realize! How can I, Zhang Xiu, be driven by the enemy If the general does not give up, Zhang Xiu is willing to join the Bingzhou army as a pawn!"

"Hahaha... General Zhang is serious. I have heard of General Zhang's name for a long time. Why don't we join forces and make a breakthrough together!"

Lu Yi smiled lightly, jumped off the horse, and helped Zhang Xiudao himself.

Zhang Xiu was terrified when he heard the words, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Xiu is sincerely submitting to the lord, and he will never give up, and hope the lord will learn from him!"

"That's right, I, Duan Yao, are also willing to serve my lord!" Duan Yan also rushed over, hastily expressing his loyalty.

Lu Yi nodded, he just tested Zhang Xiu, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers?But of course he was happy to accept Zhang Xiu, but his real goal was Jia Xu.

"Mr. Jia, I don't know what your plan is, but would you like to join our Bingzhou army?" Lu Yi smiled and looked at Jia Xu and said;

Jia Xu frowned, and sighed: "General Lu, my husband's family is in your hands, do I have any other choice? It's just that the Bingzhou army is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and their destruction is imminent. I don't know how the general will plan?"
