Chapter 117 Lu Kangzhi's entrusted

"Uh..." Lu Kang's throat trembled slightly, and finally woke up slowly. He opened his eyes vigorously, and a few rays of sunlight shot in from outside the window frame, shining on the people beside his bed. When the people saw Lu Kang wake up, they were all very happy and hurriedly raised Lu Kang's head with a pillow. After a while, Lu Kang saw clearly that the people standing by his bed were his wife, youngest son Lu Ji, Shu County Magistrate Liu Jun, and another man was handsome and handsome, wearing white clothes, which was Zhou Yu.

When everyone saw Lu Kang looking around, they all showed joy, especially his youngest son Lu Ji, who rushed to Lu Kang with a few steps and said in a tender voice: "Dad, Daddy, do you still hurt?"

When Lu Kang heard his youngest son say it hurt, he suddenly felt that his body was still in unbearable pain, especially from his waist, the piercing pain came in waves. Lu Kang endured it, slowly raised his hand to stroke the top of Lu Ji's head, and said in a stern voice: "Be good, daddy, you... go out and have fun first."

"Yes." When Lu Ji heard his father say that he didn't feel any pain, he nodded happily, jumped out to play.

Lu Kang signaled with his eyes, and the rest of the people left the house, leaving Zhou Yu alone by the bed. The sunshine in the room was quietly shining, the door was closed, and the noise outside disappeared, and the room was quiet.

Lu Kang nodded slightly and signaled Zhou Yu to sit down. With Zhou Yu's help, he struggled to turn his body sideways, gasped for a while, and said in a low voice: "Gongjin...Gongjin..."

Zhou Yu hurriedly leaned over and approached Lu Kang's lips. Lu Kang lost his words, and two lines of clear tears flowed out of his closed eyes, making Zhou Yu sigh in his heart. After a while, Lu Kang's spirit suddenly became excited and his voice became louder: "Gongjin, help me up, please put the quilt behind me."

Zhou Yu helped Lu Kang up as he said, took the quilt and placed it behind him. Lu Kang sighed softly and said, "Gongjin... I'm afraid I can't stand it."

A thin layer of light mist covered Zhou Yu's eyes, but Zhou Yu held back and replied with a stern voice: "Uncle Lu, Yu has already invited the famous doctors around him and will come soon. Your injury is not in the way."

Lu Kang shook his head gently and sighed: "I know my body myself... Now, I can't let go of some things."

"Boy Lu Ji, who has been very smart since childhood, is extremely filial to us. Unfortunately, I can't see the day when he grew up... I am a middle-aged son and I am quite fond of him. Once I leave, I dare not imagine what his future will be like."

"My Lu family is quite famous in the Lujiang area and has little assets. Unfortunately, the population has withered and there are fewer talents. I thought about it and thought, but there was really no one to trust, so I had to ask you Gongjin. For the sake of Zhou and Lu family's family's family's friendship and your uncles and uncles, I want to leave my family's future to you." As soon as Lu Kang finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Yu tightly with a begging look on his face.

"This..." Suddenly, Zhou Yu did not react for a moment, and Lu Kang's face began to turn from sunny to dark. Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "If Uncle Lu had this idea, Yu agreed and would definitely not go back on his word."

"Okay!" Lu Kang suddenly became energetic, and his face turned from gloomy to sunny.

"There is another matter, this matter is even more serious. I just asked my son Lu Ji to do it for personal gain, but this matter is for public gain." Lu Kang said solemnly.

"I hope to hear the details." Zhou Yu looked sincere.

"Now it is a chaotic era, the court is incompetent and incompetent, and the government is controlled by the rebels. Looking at the world, the governors, governors, and county magistrates in various places have their own thoughts, respect the court verbally, and accumulate strength in private to try their best in the chaotic era. Which of the former Emperor Taizu and Emperor Guangwu, did not rely on military achievements in the chaotic era to establish an empire?"

"The founding king must be a wise monarch, otherwise the people of the world will suffer. Under my rule, one million people in Lujiang County, 14 counties, one million people, dare not say that they live and work in peace, at least they have suffered a lot of war and can still live this life. But, who can tell what happens in the future?"

Speaking of this, Lu Kang paused for a moment, observed Zhou Yu's expression change, and said, "Gongjin, pour some water on the table for me to drink~"

After drinking the water, Lu Kang's expression relaxed a little, as if the pain was much less. He let out a long breath, stared at Zhou Yu for a moment, suddenly grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Gongjin, I want you to take charge of Lujiang County, what do you think?"

"This... Yu dare not take it." Zhou Yu was a little surprised. What Lu Kang did today surprised him. It seemed that Lu Kang felt that there was not much future and was just about to arrange his funeral.

"Gongjin, don't refuse. My move today was decided by these days after careful consideration, not just for impulse." Lu Kang said earnestly: "Jichao has already had many good signs under your governance. In time, it will be a prosperous situation. If you are willing to govern the entire Lujiang County on my behalf, it will be a blessing for the people of Lujiang."

Lujiang County? This unexpected gift package made Zhou Yu feel happy all of a sudden, but he was not sure whether Lu Kang's move was sincere or intentional to test it, so he refused: "Yu was talented and had little knowledge and had no reputation in Lujiang, so he may not be able to take this great task. Uncle Lu would still be at ease and wait for a recovery as soon as possible."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Lu Kang's mouth. He healed? If he could heal, why should he do this?! He knew that Zhou Yu must have doubted his true intention of this move, so he couldn't help but hold Zhou Yu's hand tighter and said sobbingly: "I have seen so many joys and sorrows in my life? I've been caught in this arrow, and I know that my life will not last long. Gongjin doesn't have to be suspicious. My move is for the people of Lujiang County and for the people of the world. I have decided, so don't refuse Gongjin!"

Zhou Yu suddenly felt a sense of emotion, and he swam back and forth in his chest, touching his eyes and becoming wet and slippery...

A few tears fell from his eyes, followed by tears that surged out. Zhou Yu couldn't control his emotions. He knelt down on his legs and cried bitterly by Lu Kang's bed. These tears were both touching and gratitude, and also contained deep regrets. Lu Kang, a famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was about to leave.

"So... Yu is willing to take on this important task..." Zhou Yu's voice intermittently, but also contains a kind of firmness.

At the end of July of the first year of Chuping of Emperor Xian of Han, Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, died suddenly due to arrow injuries. Zhou Yu set up a mourning hall in Shu County, paid tribute to him for seven days, adopted Lu Kang's youngest son Lu Ji in the Zhou family's mansion, and offered a reward of 10,000 yuan to seek Sun Xia's head. Seven days later, Zhou Yu made an appointment as the prefect of Lujiang, appointed Yuan Huan as the magistrate of Shu County, and Pei Song as the magistrate of Juchao County. The other county magistrates did not change.

Chen Gong was appointed as the county chief and responsible for military and political affairs. Gan Ning, Zang Ba, Zhou Tai, Gao Shun, Pan Zhang, Deng Yu were all Simas of other departments, Wang Yue and Jiang Qin were all partial generals, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Yang Ci, Lu Qian, Zhou An and Pan Hu were all captains in the army.

Kan Ze was appointed as the Xi Cao Officer, in charge of financial expenses. Zhang Cheng was appointed as the Dong Cao Officer, in charge of the appointment and dispatch of military and political officials. Zhang Fan was appointed as the household registration of the people, temple sacrifices and farming matters. Zhou Hui was appointed as the Jin Cao Officer, in charge of the commerce and handicrafts of the entire county. Liu Jun, the former county magistrate of Shu County, was responsible for recording and reviewing all matters. Zhou Dao was appointed as the warehouse manager, in charge of grain storage, military supplies, etc.

For a moment, Lujiang's appearance became new.

Yiyang, an important town in southern Luoyang.

Sun Jian led 25,000 troops from his headquarters to cross Xuanyuan Valley and surrounded Yiyang City. To Sun Jian's surprise, there were only 500 troops in the entire Yiyang City to defend, and most of the people in the city had been moved to Chang'an, which could be described as an empty city.

After conquering Yiyang without any effort, Sun Jian's troops rushed to Luoyang without stopping.

The natural danger of Hulao Pass in the eastern part of Luoyang.

After more than a month of continuous attacks, the Kanto Alliance led by Cao Cao suffered heavy losses. One morning, the coalition soldiers who gritted their teeth and continued to attack were surprised to find that the gate was empty and had become an empty city.

When Cao Cao led everyone to the horse pass, he personally felt the majesty of Hulao Pass. He recalled the many Guandong soldiers who were sleeping in the pass, and couldn't help but sigh and wrote a poem:

"Step on the jade toe to rise and fall, climb the water and climb the Huzhu. Look at the two rivers in the river and Luo River, and look at the Shuanggao in the Pingcheng. Chongling is made of Cui Jun, and the valleys are left with vast land. The road is winding and narrow, and the forest is falling with depression."

Subsequently, a coalition general asked to lead troops to chase Lu Bu's army. Cao Cao refused to agree to the situation when Lu Bu set up an ambush in the deep mountains and forests behind the pass. In fact, a general of Jizhou, Pan Feng, refused to obey the order and led his troops to chase after him overnight. He was ambushed in the canyon by Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao, defeated Pan Feng and returned.

Cao Cao was furious and wanted to kill Pan Feng. Everyone around him hurriedly pleaded with him. Cao Cao asked someone to whip Pan Feng thirty to serve as a warning. Pan Feng was not convinced by Cao Cao's command, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. That night, he led his troops back to Jizhou.

Cao Cao had no choice but to urge the remaining troops to fight straight towards Luoyang.

Yellow River Ferry in northern Luoyang.

Yuan Shao sent general Yan Liang as the vanguard and led 10,000 troops across the Yellow River from Heyangjin. Then he drove the city and broke the village, and the troops headed straight to Luoyang.

The three armies rushed towards Luoyang, and they encountered very few resistances on the way. The huge Xiliang army, which had a huge number of personnel, was gone, as if it had disappeared.

When the three armies arrived at the city of Luoyang, they finally understood why their troops were extremely difficult at the beginning of the war, but now they were smooth sailing.

Sun Jian's troops were the first to arrive at the city of Luoyang.

The people of Sun Jian's troops were originally full of hope, and at least they could see the prosperous and prosperous Luoyang City, but unfortunately they were greeted by a huge fire.

It turned out that in order not to allow the Kwantung Army to occupy Luoyang, Dong Zhuo ordered the city to be set on fire. All Luoyang palaces, official residences, private houses, etc. were completely burned. Two hundred miles a circle suddenly turned into scorched earth, and no chickens and dogs were left behind.

After the three armies gathered in Luoyang, everyone was horrified to find that what Dong Zhuo left them was a ruined Luoyang and a nine-ten-in-one Jingji area.

After discussion, everyone believed that the purpose of this coalition operation had been achieved, and Dong Zhuo shrank his troops and horses, and there were 50,000 troops guarding Hangu Pass alone. After a long stalemate, military rations were very problematic, and Luoyang was no longer suitable for living, so most county magistrates led their troops back to their garrison.

Cao Cao, the only one who had no resident, despised those county magistrates who were not enterprising, led his troops to attack Hangu Pass alone. He was defeated by Xu Rong, a general under Dong Zhuo, and was defeated by the Bian River. Most of Cao Cao's troops were damaged and fled back to Luoyang in a mess.

At this time, Luoyang City, which was burned to pieces, became Cao Cao's temporary residence.
