The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

With Zhang Lu killed, the rest of the Hanzhong soldiers died or surrendered.A group of soldiers kneeled on the dark battlefield.

Lu Yi didn't care about these soldiers, and his main target was still Zhang Lu's military advisor Yan Pu.There are not many famous people in Hanzhong, but this Yan Pu can be regarded as a relatively famous one.

After Zhang Lu died, Yan Pu was in the army.Lu Ke escaped, so he could only surrender with a few civil servants.After gathering the captives, they were escorted to Lu Yima.

When more than a dozen civil servants in Hanzhong saw Lu Yi, they all trembled and knelt down to beg for mercy. Only Yan Pu stood upright, without the slightest fear, just looking straight ahead.

"Kneel down!" Seeing that Yan Pu didn't kneel down, several of Lu Yi's personal guards were furious, and they walked over together, trying to force Yan Pu to kneel down.

"Not polite!"

Lu Yi hurriedly dismounted, stopped the soldiers' rude behavior, then strode towards Yan Pu, untied Yan Pu's rope himself, and said with a smile, "I've heard Mr. Yan's name for a long time, the soldiers were rude just now, please don't take offense at Mr. Yan!"

Yan Pu's face was originally a little blank, but seeing that Lu Yi treated each other with courtesy and did not make things difficult for him, his blank expression changed slightly, and he nodded towards Lu Yi, and asked, "General Lu, I don't know if you will How to dispose of my lord's body?"

"Zhang Lu is a traitor. What do you think, sir, how should I deal with it?" Lu Yi did not answer Yan Pu's question, but asked a rhetorical question. [

Yan Pu smiled wryly, and suddenly knelt down under Lu Yi's surprised gaze, and said, "I am willing to surrender to the general, but I just ask the general to allow me to collect the corpse of the old master!"

"Well, okay!" Anyway, Zhang Lu is dead, and Hanzhong's participation in the Five Dou Rice Sect will not cause any trouble. Lu Yi thought about it for a while, and agreed to Yan Pu's conditions.Send someone to prepare the coffin and collect his body.

Immediately, Lu Yi looked at the dozen or so civil servants who were kneeling, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you willing to surrender?"

"I am willing to surrender!" The remaining dozen or so civil servants fell to the ground one after another, expressing their willingness to surrender.

Lu Yi also ordered someone to untie them and let them stay in the army.Immediately, the army camped on the spot, preparing to rest here for a day.

Just as the barracks were set up, Jia Xu and others came to see Lu Yi together, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, although Zhang Lu is dead now, Yangping Pass is still in Zhang Wei's hands. Please divide up the troops immediately and go to capture Yangping Pass. Otherwise, once Zhang Wei invites foreign enemies in, it will be troublesome!"

Lu Yi's expression also became serious, and he nodded, "Yangping Pass is the gateway to Hanzhong, so there must be no loss! How about this, Uncle Gao, you take five thousand soldiers and horses and go to capture Yangping Pass, and the rest follow me first. Go to Nanzheng."

Although Yangping Pass is the Xiongguan Pass in Hanzhong, Zhang Wei has already been defeated. It is estimated that his soldiers and horses will not exceed 3000. He sent Gao Shun 5000 people to pass. Lu Yi believes that it is enough to capture Yangping Pass.

The most important thing for him now is to take down Nanzheng as soon as possible. Once Nanzheng is done, Hanzhong will be dominated by the Bingzhou Army.

Escorting the prisoners, the army marched all the way.In the early morning of the next day, the army finally returned to the city of Nanzheng. Zhang Xiu brought the old troops from Xiliang to greet him with a very respectful attitude.

"How is the situation in the city? Is there any change in Yang Bai?"

Lu Yi rode his horse and led a group of civil servants and generals directly to Nanzheng, looking at the tense soldiers on the top of the wall and asked Zhang Xiudao.

Zhang Xiu smiled, shook his head and said: "My lord, since Yang Bai entered Nanzheng, he has been unable to hold on to it, and the last general wants to take the opportunity to attack the city!"

"Hehe, there is no need to attack the city. Now that Zhang Lu is dead, Hanzhong is already our territory. The soldiers and horses in the city should be surrendered!"

Looking at the majestic Nanzheng City Wall, Lu Yi suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind, and he ordered Yang Ren and Yan Pu to be called. [

Not long after, Yang Ren and Yan Pu walked over one after the other, seeing Nan Zheng in front of them, their eyes were a bit complicated.

"General Yang, Nanzheng depends on you!" Lu Yicai didn't care what Yang Ren was thinking, and immediately ordered Yang Ren to persuade Yang Bai to surrender.

Yang Ren nodded, rode his horse hastily, and approached Nanzheng cautiously, while Lu Yi led his men and horses and waited not far outside the city.

The defenders at the top of the city also found out that it was Yang Ren who came over, and they all exclaimed, but did not shoot arrows, and some even rushed down the city gate quickly and opened it.

Yang Bai was even more suspicious. He greeted Yang Ren from the city, and said in surprise, "Brother, what's going on? Why did you come from the Bingzhou Army? And the Lord's army, when will it arrive?"

Yang Ren shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Brother, there are no reinforcements! The lord has already died in battle, and my brother has also surrendered to the state army!"

"What, the lord is dead?" Yang Bai's face was full of shock, but looking at Yang Ren's appearance, he was not lying, Yang Bai's heart suddenly became confused, and he said in fear: "I didn't expect the lord to die in battle! How can this be good!"

Yang Ren listened with a laugh, shook his head and said: "Although the old lord is dead, the new lord is still outside the city. As long as we donate Nanzheng, it is still a great achievement. In the future, we will have a chance to gain a foothold in the Bingzhou Army. !"

"Brother, you mean, let me surrender?" Yang Bai said in surprise.

"Do we have any other choice now?" Yang Ren smiled wryly. After all, if he surrendered, the Yang family would definitely not be able to block the sky in Hanzhong like before.

But if they don't surrender, once the city is broken, the Yang family will perish immediately.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Bai finally ordered to open the gate of the city, went out of the city with Yang Ren, knelt in front of Lu Yima and said, "General Lu, our Yang family is willing to surrender Nanzheng!"

"Hehe, please rise up, two generals!" Lu Yi hurriedly jumped off his horse, helped Yang Ren and the two up with his own hands, and then the army marched to Nanzheng City together.

At the same time, I went to inform my family who was still in Chenggu to move to Nanzheng.In the early morning of the next day, the cavalry of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun also passed through Ziwu Valley and rushed to Nanzheng.

Also arriving at the same time as Zhang Liao and others were the family members of the Bingzhou Army in Chenggu.

After hastily settling their homes, Gao Shun, who was going to attack Yangping Pass, also sent someone to bring news of the great victory.It was heard that after Zhang Lu died in battle, Zhang Wei fled overnight and entered the Wudu Yinping area.

As soon as Gao Shun's army arrived, Yangping Pass immediately surrendered.

"I didn't expect that Zhang Wei escaped! This is a disaster!" In the Nanzheng prefect's mansion, Lu Yi frowned slightly as he watched the battle report sent by Gao Shun.

Both Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei are the core figures of the Five Dou Rice Sect in Hanzhong, and they have a great influence on the people of Hanzhong, which is why he wanted to kill Zhang Lu.

If he didn't kill Zhang Lu, it's entirely possible that Zhang Lu pretended to surrender, and then waited for an opportunity to incite the people to rebel.

Compared with Lu Yi's worries, Liu Ye seemed confident, and said with a palm smile: "Actually, my lord, you don't have to worry too much about Zhang Wei. He has the natural danger of Yangping Pass, but he abandoned it and fled. This shows that People are not generals, as long as you guard Yangping Pass, the land of Guanlong, the Lord doesn't have to worry!"

"Zi Yang is right!"

After Liu Ye's explanation, Lu Yi also gradually let go of his heart, and then his eyes gradually focused on the internal affairs of Hanzhong. He glanced at Yan Pu who was kneeling among the civil servants, and said with a smile: "Yan Gongcao, Has the surrendered troops in Hanzhong been counted?"

Yan Pu was originally Zhang Lu Gongcao. After surrendering, Lu Yi did not remove him from his official position and treated Zhang Lu's family kindly. This made Yan Pu feel grateful. Hearing this, he immediately fought, and said in a deep voice: "Return to the Lord , I have a total of more than 50 people in the old Hanzhong Ministry, [-] hu of military rations, countless money and armaments..."

"50 Dendrobium military rations?"

Lu Yi exclaimed, this amount is really too big, especially now it is the turn of spring and summer, which is the lowest point of a year's military food reserves.

If we waited until the autumn harvest, wouldn't we be able to break through the military food reserves of one million dendrobium?

Such a number, not to mention Lu Yi, even Liu Ye and Jia Xu, were intimidated by this number.

"Hanzhong is indeed a treasure land!"

Yang Hong pulled the beard on his chin, and said in amazement, and then his eyes were a little sad, and he said quietly: "The wealth of Hanzhong is not inferior to that of Huainan in the past!"

Lu Yi nodded, knowing that Yang Hong's words were a tactful remonstrance, hoping that he could treat the people of Hanzhong kindly. He was about to speak when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Jia Xu's gloomy face, and asked curiously: "Wenhe, why did you think of this?" What?"

Jia Xu's eyes showed a trace of worry, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, although we have obtained Hanzhong now, we should not take it lightly. Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, and there are many heroes in Shuzhong. If my prediction is correct, Liu Zhang from Yizhou Hearing that Hanzhong has changed hands, we will definitely send troops to fight for it!"

"Hehe, Junshi Jia, in fact, we don't need to worry too much about Yizhou's troops. As long as Liu Zhang doesn't send troops, he won't be able to break into Hanzhong just relying on Brazil's Pang Yi!"

Yan Pu smiled and said very firmly.

"Why did Gongcao say that?" Lu Yi looked at Yan Pu with some surprise, and asked curiously.

Yan Pu shook his head and told about the situation in Brazil.It turned out that although Pang Yi was ordered to guard Brazil and crusade against Zhang Lu, he was self-respecting and selfish. He was afraid that if he destroyed Zhang Lu, he would lose the chance to be the emperor of Brazil, so once he fought with Zhang Lu, he would deliberately defeated.

"In the past few years, Pang Yi and us have formed a tacit understanding. As long as he leads the attack, he will definitely be defeated without a fight. Therefore, my lord, don't worry too much about the direction of Brazil." Yan Pu said with some contempt.

"There is such a thing! No wonder Zhang Luneng has fought against Yizhou for decades with a single county. Although Liu Zhang is mostly weak, the different hearts of his subordinates are also an important reason!"

Lu Yi let out a long breath, and understood why Liu Zhang was able to defend himself because of the favorable terrain in Yizhou.But even though Yan Pu said so, Lu Yi did not take Yizhou lightly.It is still a decision to order people to always take the direction of Yizhou.

At this moment, outside the gate, a personal guard walked in quickly and said loudly: "Master, Mrs. Huang is clamoring to see you in the backyard!"

"What Mrs. Huang?" Lu Yi's face turned black, God is sorry, he arrested Huang Yueying for a legitimate reason, and he didn't have any dirty thoughts.

Looking at Liu Ye and the others, they all had weird expressions, and Jia Xu coughed several times, got up and said, "My lord, my subordinate suddenly remembered that there are still important things to be done, so I will take my leave first!"

Liu Ye and the others came to their senses one after another, and hurriedly got up, looking for various reasons, all of which were to get up and leave.Only Yang Hong was still brooding, and couldn't help complaining: "My lord, although Mrs. Huang is also from a famous family, after all, her appearance is not good. The old man thinks it is more appropriate to be a concubine!"

Lu Yi smiled wryly when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "Everyone misunderstood, I don't have such thoughts!"

"We know, my lord doesn't need to explain!" Liu Ye looked very understanding, and bowed to leave.

Jia Xu even looked at Lu Yi with admiring eyes, and retorted Yang Hong as he went out: "My lord, this strategy is very good. Mrs. Huang is from a famous family in Jingzhou. Taking her will be very helpful to my lord's great cause..."

When Yang Hong heard it, he suddenly realized, and then sighed: "It turns out that the lord has such a deep meaning, but I am short-sighted..."

"This time I really jumped into the Yellow River and I can't clean it up!" Lu Yinai shook his head, looking at the crowd who walked out shaking their heads, but finally got up and walked towards the inner room.

In any case, Huang Yueying was captured by him, so it was time to meet her.
