The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

Autumn is certainly the season of harvest, but it is also the season of killing.After harvesting the rations and resting the soldiers, the front of the soldiers on the battlefield must be even more overwhelming.

Hebei, outside Yecheng.

Groups of soldiers continued to gather from all over the place. There were tall Bingzhou cavalrymen riding horses, rough-faced soldiers from Youzhou with a hint of weather, and Yuan Shao elite soldiers from Jizhou. There are also some capable soldiers recruited by Qingzhou.

But the main force of the army is still Yuan Shao's headquarters, tens of thousands of Jizhou soldiers!Youzhou soldiers, Bingzhou soldiers, and Qingzhou soldiers are just auxiliary.

Even Yuan Shao mobilized the power of the four states, borrowed from the wolf cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, and formed his own five thousand heavy cavalry.Whenever these cavalry charged, the terrifying vibrations could make the people in Yecheng terrified.

In the land of Hebei today, Yuan Shao is really at the height of the sun, and he can look down on the world.Gongsun Du of Liaodong has sent a clear message of surrender to Yuan Shao. As long as Cao Cao is defeated, he will submit Liaodong to him.

For this reason, Yuan Shao was arrogant for a while, and named Gongsun Du General Du Liao, leading Liaodong Taishou.Even without the consent of Emperor Xuchang Han in advance.

As for Zhang Yan in Montenegro, after a battle with the Bingzhou army, his vitality was also severely injured at this time, and he simply huddled in the mountains, not daring to move half a step, which made the Bingzhou direction not have to worry about threats to the flanks.

Yuan Shao in Hebei is completely free to deal with Cao Cao in Xuchang! [

In the autumn and September of the fourth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao of Hebei Province, the general, officially ordered Chen Lin, the master book, to issue a call to action.He counted Cao Cao's ten crimes and told the world that he would use all the elite soldiers from the four states to punish the treacherous officials and support the emperor.

Soon after, Yuan Shao sent several envoys to various princes' lands to seek everyone's support.

Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, responded almost immediately.Although Jiangdong Sun Ce did not express his position, he stopped his attack on Jiangxia and stationed at Hukou, and his movements are unknown.

But at this time, Yuan Yao, who was sitting in Lujiang, officially announced that he wanted to restore the country, gathered Yuan Shu's old officials, sharpened his sword, and prepared to march into Shouchun.

Yuan Shu's former troops who had been eliminated by Lu Yi's selection and had no choice but to become bandits responded one after another and gathered under Yuan Yao's command.

The entire Central Plains was in chaos, and the shadow of war hung over everyone's heart.

Only the west side of the Han Dynasty, although shocked by Yuan Cao's battle, none of the princes announced which side to support, but rather neutral.

These princes naturally became the targets of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's vying to win over.

Among them, the most important thing is Lu Yi, who now occupies Hanzhong and has [-] soldiers.As Yuan Shu's son-in-law, Lu Yi can be regarded as half of the Yuan family, and he is the most powerful one.

What's more, the Bingzhou Army also occupies the land of Shangyong. As long as it sends troops, it can attack Chang'an, Wancheng, Xuchang and many other directions, and insert Cao Cao's back.

Yuan Shao naturally attached great importance to this, and at the same time he ordered to send troops, he also sent envoys to Hanzhong with high-ranking officials and rich salary.

Cao Cao in Xuchang was no exception. Yuan Qiang and Cao Wei were weak. Naturally, he didn't want to start a war with the Bingzhou army at this time, so he immediately asked the Emperor Han to send an envoy to Hanzhong.

Two groups of envoys entered Hanzhong almost one after the other, and appeared in Nanzheng at the same time.

This made Lu Yi smile bitterly. A year ago, he was still running around and wandering around. Who would have thought that a year later, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would come to win him over at the same time.

What makes Lu Yi most amusing is that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are both his enemies.But politics is so strange, for the sake of rights, even the greatest hatred can be eliminated. [

Although he already knew the result of the Battle of Guandu, it was recorded in the history books. He really couldn't say what the result of the Battle of Guandu would be now.

He is not easy to offend the envoys on both sides.I can only order people to call Jia Xu and other civil and military officials into the meeting hall, and when everyone is seated, they just ask: "Everyone, now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's envoys have come to appoint me an official, you say, where should I see?" One?"

Liu Ye clapped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, it's better to meet Cao Cao's envoy first. After all, he bears the name of the Son of Heaven on his head, so we don't want to neglect him!"

"Otherwise! The title granted by the emperor to the lord is only the general of Zhenxi, and the prefect of Hanzhong, the position is too small! But Yuan Shao is bestowed as the shepherd of Yizhou and supervises the military of Liangzhou. This position can match the lord. I suggest that my lord receive Yuan Shao's envoy!"

Yan Pu stood up and said in a deep voice.He was originally from Zhang Lu's former department, so naturally he didn't care about Emperor Han, but he just thought that was beneficial to Lu Yi, so he chose that.

Yan Pu's words were approved by Yang Ren, Zang Ba and others.

But some people thought it was wrong, Zhao Yun thought about it, and came out and said: "My lord, although the Yuan family has a great official position, after all, there is no will from the emperor. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. I think it is time to meet Cao Cao's envoy!"

"Zilong's words are too roundabout! It doesn't matter who the emperor is, he just pretends to be a high official!" Sun Guan, a bastard, also opened his mouth.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the rest of the people couldn't bear it anymore, they were all chattering and quarreling, and some impulsive generals, if they lost their mouths, they simply raised their fists and were about to fight.

Seeing the messy scene of his subordinates, Lu Yi smiled wryly, then his face darkened, and he snorted coldly.

It was only then that the crowd came to their senses, remembering that Lu Yi was still here, they all shut up and sat down quickly, not daring to talk nonsense.Only Jia Xu, from beginning to end, didn't say a word, just watched quietly.

Lu Yi's heart moved suddenly, and he asked Jia Xu, "Wen He, why don't you speak?"

Jia Xu smiled when she heard the words, pointed to her head and said, "The old man is thoughtful!"

"Wenhe might as well talk about it!" Lu Yi smacked his lips, why did he think this sentence was so familiar.Still couldn't help being curious, couldn't help asking.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "My lord, the old man is thinking, if the official position Yuan Shao promised is passed back to Xuchang, what will Cao Mengde do?"

"I understand what Wenhe means!"

Lu Yi laughed, and understood what Jia Xu meant.Anyway, now Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are trying to win him over. Since Yuan Shao is willing to make himself the Yizhou Shepherd, Cao Cao must not be too petty to appease him, right?

This is taking advantage of the fire!Jia Xu first came to support himself in accepting Cao Cao's reward, but secondly, he told himself that the official position given by Cao Cao was too small and he had to force Cao Cao to give him a bigger official position.

Although the official position Yuan Shao promised is also very attractive, it is based on the fact that he can support the emperor. The current promise is just empty words, and Lu Yi also thinks that Yuan Shao has little chance of winning the battle of Guandu .

Thinking of this, Lu Yi already had an idea in his mind, and decided that the envoys from both sides would disappear, and let them go back and wait until which side could bring the most benefits, and he would accept the official position there.

However, this does not mean that he will send troops. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will never allow him to send troops. This is a contest between the two strongest forces of the big man, and the current strength of the state army. Ash faded away.

After dealing with the envoy's affairs, Lu Yi got up and returned to the inner house, and couldn't wait to pull Zhen Mi and the three daughters to continue working hard.

The emissaries of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were annoyed when Lu Yi refused to meet them, but they had to return quickly and tell their respective lords.

Similarly, Zhang Song, who had stayed in Hanzhong for more than ten days, also received continuous letters of urging from Liu Zhang, not daring to neglect, and wanted to bid farewell to Lu Yi.
