Chapter 154 It turns out it was you

"Brother Fengxian, do this seriously?" Yuan Shao could not have imagined that Lu Bu's attitude towards him would become so good. When he was in Luoyang, Lu Bu did almost the same thing as his father's murder. He targeted him everywhere. How could he change so much now?!

"It's true. I have already told many ministers of the regents, including Lu Zhi, Ma Rizhen, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai and other ministers, and told the Empress Dowager and the Emperor that Yuan Wei was the only one who was Yuan Wei, and had nothing to do with the Yuan family. Yuan Yi, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu all opposed Dong Zhuo, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were relieved. The Empress Dowager and the Grand Tutor Lu both said that if you, Yuan Benchu, are willing to join the alliance to fight against Dong, you will respect you and I will be your deputy."

Lu Bu has not told this to the Queen Mother and Lu Zhi so far, but in order to win over most of the Yuan disciples in the world, this transaction still needs to be done, so let Yuan Shao rise to fame for the time being. Anyway, for Lu Bu, it doesn't matter whether Yuan Shao's fame has risen from 10,000 points to 20,000 points. Anyway, sooner or later it will be the fish he has been under his own knife.

"But I have no place to recruit soldiers now, so why should I fight against Dong Zhuo? As the leader of the alliance, how can I convince the public?!" Seeing that Lu Bu's sincere attitude, Yuan Shao began to ask for territory.

"Brother Benchu, let's see. I stationed 80,000 elite troops in Jizhou. General Sun Jian was in Henei. Zhu Ye was in Hedong. Zhang Miao was in Chenliu. His younger brother Yuan Shu was in Nanyang. Huangfu Song, Ma Teng and Han Sui were in Liangzhou. There are two places where the encirclement of Dong Zhuo is incomplete. One is Hanzhong County, Yizhou and Yingchuan County, Yuzhou. Among them, Hanzhong County, Yizhou may have been occupied by Zhang Lu. Only Yingchuan County has no military talent to go to guard the town. Can Brother Benchu ​​be willing to temporarily serve as the prefect of Yingchuan? Yingchuan is close to Nanyang County and Runan County. Yuan Shu and Wang Kuang can both give Benchu ​​a strong help."

Lu Bu was forced to place Yuan Shao in Yingchuan because he had to find him a territory. Only by getting close to Dong Zhuo could he be a little motivated, only by getting close to Yuan Shu could they let their brothers kill each other, and only by getting close to Han Fu could he have a bad mind. If he kills Han Fu in the future, Lu Bu would have a reason to continue to condemn him.

"I am from Yuzhou, how can I work in Yuzhou? How can I make other princes afraid of it?" Yuan Shao shook his head repeatedly.

"It is an extraordinary period, so I have to use extraordinary methods. Huangfu Song was from Anding, Liangzhou, and now he is also in charge of Liangzhou. Han Sui is from Jincheng, but he controls Jincheng. For the sake of the overall situation, the court has to recognize him as the prefect of Jincheng. Dong Zhuo is ruthless and has become a rebel. His position as the governor of Liangzhou and the former general have been abolished. Huangfu Song has already taken over the governor of Liangzhou, so the position of the former general is led by Brother Benchu. The position of the former general is among the princes of Guandong, and it is the highest military position, even your younger brother Yuan Shu is only the latter general, and I, Lu Bu, is just the general of the North, and is also under Brother Benchu." In order to win over Yuan Shao and then win over the former disciples of Yuan's family, Lu Bu seems to have tried his best, but in fact, these are all for free.

Yuan Shao was still a little dissatisfied: "Since an extraordinary method is used in extraordinary times, can I lead the prefect of Runan? Runan is my hometown, where I can recruit more elite soldiers. As for Wang Kuang, I will be appointed as the prefect of Yingchuan."

Runan County originally had a population of 2 million. Although it had been repeatedly subjected to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population was more than one million, while Yingchuan County only had more than 400,000. Moreover, Runan was Yuan Shao's hometown, so it was no surprise that Yuan Shao had this requirement.

"If Brother Benchu ​​is willing to agree to join, he can discuss any number of conditions." Lu Bu agreed.

"The prefect of Runan is leading the former general, this is enough to order the heroes of Kanto. As for the others, let's discuss it when the Dong Zhuo is killed."

Although Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu's position as a lieutenant in Sili and wanted to take it back immediately, he knew that Lu Bu had now commanded more than 100,000 troops, which was different from the past and he could not afford to offend him for the time being.

Moreover, the former general's military post surpassed the bastard's younger brother's rear general, and he was very satisfied.

After the two agreed on conditions, Lu Bu prepared to lead Yuan Shao to see the Empress Dowager.

Zhen Yu stopped Lu Bu, pulled Lu Bu aside, and said apologetically: "This time Yuan Shao found us, and we had to arrange this meeting. We forced the Yuan family to bring the general here because of the past kindness of the Yuan family. Fortunately, you two have a very peaceful conversation and formed an alliance, otherwise I, Zhen Yu, would have been unable to redeem my sins." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Yu coughed violently, so much that he almost couldn't even breathe.

Zhen Jiang quickly stepped forward to support Zhen Yu and took a pill for Zhen Yu.

After a while, Zhen Yu recovered and looked at Lu Bu with a serious expression: "General Lu, my illness is a chronic disease. I have been employed by famous doctors, but it is not cured. It is getting worse and worse. I am afraid that I will leave this world if my Zhen family has a great career, but my father died early. I am about to die again. My mother is old and my younger brothers and sisters are young. The only one who can support this family is my eldest sister Zhen Jiang. But if a woman does not have a strong man in this world, it will be difficult to survive. The general should have known what we mean just now. Our Zhen family is not only willing to do our best to support the general's great career, but also willing to form a Qin and Jin relationship with the general, and hope that the general will achieve it."

"Ah, this is too sudden. I have no preparations yet. Moreover, I already have a wife and two concubines. I am afraid that she will be wronged if I marry Miss Zhen." Lu Bu did not want the support of the Zhen family, nor did he not want to marry this rich daughter, but this was too sudden.

"Ahem, General, we already know a lot about you. You don't know much about my Zhen family. Could it be that I dislike my Zhen family for being a meager family. I am ugly and not worthy of the general?! Sister, tell him the family's family's family's background!" Zhen Yu decided to show his fortune.

"Our ancestor of Zhen family, Taibao Zhen Han, followed the pseudo-new Wang Mang, was not recognized by the present day. The Zhen family rarely had high-ranking officials above the county magistrate. My Zhen family gradually abandoned the desire for official career and practiced the art of merchants. Because of the good management of our ancestors, they accumulated several generations, they had 230,000 mu of land, more than 30,000 tenants, nearly 1,000 shops, and all walks of life. There were more than 20,000 servants, more than 60,000 kilograms of gold, 130,000 silver, and 3.6 billion copper coins. Other treasures were also equivalent to more than 60 billion yuan, and there were 2.6 million stones of grain, more than 8,000 soldiers and more than 6,000 war horses."

After Zhen Jiang reported his family's fortune, he added: "If the general needs a great cause, I, the general of the poor family wealth, can be used at any time."

"I have no reward without merit. I have not done anything for your Zhen family now, and I am embarrassed to take your money. This way, since you know that I have founded a dedication money shop, then you go to my father-in-law, Mr. Yan Mu, and invest in the dedication money shop. In this way, your money can be used by me without worrying about losing money, and it will kill two birds with one stone." Lu Bu was very envious when he saw that the Zhen family had a huge fortune, but it was the family's wealth accumulated by his ancestors for generations. He did not want to do the Zhen family like Liu Bei who made Guang Mi Zhu's money.

Seeing that Lu Bu repeatedly pushed him, Zhen Yu would accept him happily as he had thought. He admired Lu Bu's kindness and righteousness in his heart, admired Lu Bu's ungreedyness, and was also worried that his sister was covered with a veil to make Lu Bu feel scrupled, so he gave his sister Zhen Jiang a wink.

Zhen Jiang untied his veil and said quietly: "If the general doesn't mind Zhen Jiang's ugly appearance, Zhen Jiang is willing to recommend himself to the pillow!"

"Ah, it's you!"

Lu Bu was shocked. It turned out that Zhen Jiang was a woman he rescued when he followed Ding Yuan to attack the Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou several years ago, that is, the old friend he mentioned to Bu Fan and Empress Dowager He Lian.

The reason why Bu Fan and Zhen Jiang look similar is because their eyes are all very gentle, and their eyes seem to be two fogs of autumn water. When she is touched by her eyes, a faint warmth can actually flow into her heart.

At that time, Zhen Jiang's convoy was besieged by the Yellow Turban thieves, and all the slaves were killed. Only the eldest lady Zhen Jiang was left struggling in the carriage. A Yellow Turban thief leader took off Zhen Jiang's clothes and prepared to invade him.

When Lu Bu led his troops here, he saw that the situation was not good, so he opened his bow and shot the thief's head's throat with an arrow. Unfortunately, the arrow feather also scratched Zhen Jiang's face and left a deep scar on her face.

Five years have passed, and there is still a scar on her face, which is already very shallow, but Zhen Jiang still covers her face with a veil. This is a habit left over for so many years. This scar also makes her remember the man who saved her and injured her.

Maybe it was because there were five sisters on it, maybe it was because of the education my mother gave him, maybe it was because he was naturally sympathetic. Lu Bu was very kind to women, especially beauties at all times, and Lu Bu was no exception at that time.

After he led the army to kill the Yellow Turban thieves, he saw a girl crying loudly and bleeding on her face. At that time, Zhen Jiang was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was more scarred than Hua Jiao. The scars on her face made Lu Bu feel more caring for her, so she applied gold-chuang medicine to take care of her and took care of her. The two lived together for four or five days. Later, the Zhen family sent someone to take Zhen Jiang back. Until Zhen Jiang left, Lu Bu still didn't know Zhen Jiang's identity, and Zhen Jiang didn't know Lu Bu's identity. They kept looking at each other and living silently.

It is so strange between people. Men and women who spend time together can never spark a spark. Two people who have never communicated with each other when they meet by chance, but they care about each other.

"If the Yellow Turban Riot was not rescued that year, Zhen Jiang's life would have been no longer safe. But the scar on his face was still there. I wonder if the general would mind." Zhen Jiang said quietly, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't even know how to face the man in front of her. Whether she was to blame him, hate him, or throw herself into his arms and cry bitterly.

"You have grown taller and lost weight!" Lu Bu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently stroked the scar on Zhen Jiang's face, and said gently: "It's almost gone, and we've only met."

The tears in Zhen Jiang's eyes could no longer be suppressed and burst out. She threw herself into Lu Bu's arms and burst into tears.

Zhen Yu welcomed her sister back a few years ago, and kept asking who had hurt her, but she never got a positive answer from Zhen Jiang. He once vowed to avenge her sister.

Now, when he looked at the couple who had been reunited for a long time, tears couldn't help but flow out, and turned around and left gently.
