Besides, Lu Yi led the army all the way through Lu'an.
Lu'an has been successfully captured.
At this time, the person responsible for guarding Liu'an was a general named Deng Dang under Tai Shici.
The army stopped briefly in Lu'an, replenished some food and grass, and continued directly to Hefei.
When they arrived in Hefei, Taishi Ci led Huang Gai, Xu Shu, Ji Ling and other Hefei officials out of the city to greet him.
Ji Ling felt guilty when he saw Lu Yi again.
Think about how he insulted Lu Yi outside Shu County City a few days ago.
If someone gets angry and stabs him directly, his death will be in vain.
Lu Yi was filled with emotion when he saw Ji Ling looking like this.
He thought that when he had just returned from Tancheng, Xuzhou, and met Yuan Shu for the first time, Ji Ling was there.
At that time, Ji Ling didn't even look at him.
Now, facing himself, he looked nervous and scared.
This is the coercion that power brings to people.
No wonder people in the world are fighting for power, one by one.
Lu Yi did not embarrass Ji Ling.
Although Ji Ling did insult him.
However, this kind of thing is no longer painful to him.
Instead, he promoted Ji Ling to a partial general, directly under his command.
After the greetings, Taishi Ci asked Xu Shu to arrange for the army to rest outside the city, while he took Lu Yi and other generals and counselors into the city to eat first and then rest.
Lu Yi did not listen to Tai Shici.
He decided to visit Hefei City Wall first.
Taishi Ci did not stop him.
A group of people stood on the Hefei city wall.
Lu Yi looked out of the city and suddenly laughed.
Everyone looked at Lu Yi blankly.
Taishi Ci said: "Why are you laughing, my lord?"
Lu Yi looked at Tai Shi Ci, Cheng Pu, Liu Ye and others, suppressed his smile, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
In fact, he thought of one person and one thing: Sun Shiwan.
In the original history, Sun Quan attacked Hefei several times but failed to capture it.
Even during an attack on Hefei, Zhang Liao used 800 cavalry to defeat him, killing and wounding several generals.
If in the original history, Sun Quan knew that he also led Jiangdong soldiers and easily captured Hefei, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood?
In fact, when Sun Quan attacked Hefei for the first time, he was very likely to win.
Unfortunately, Sun Quan encountered heavy rain at that time and suffered some losses. Then Zhang Hong said something like "a soldier is a dangerous weapon, and a warrior is a danger" and so on to make Sun Quan retreat.
As a result, Sun Quan listened!
Seeing that Hefei was obtained, he handed it back to Cao Cao.
This is professionals doing professional things.
The country must be governed by civil servants.
However, the military attache still needs to come to fight the war.
The ability of civil servants in fighting wars is really worrying.
Lu Yi still remembers that in this battle of Hefei, Cao Cao's guard was named Jiang Ji.
In other words, Lu Yi's knowledge of many of Cao Cao's famous generals began when Sun Quan attacked Hefei.
For example, Jiang Ji.
For example, Man Chong.
However, the most famous one is undoubtedly Zhang Liao.
After watching the Hefei city wall for a while and enjoying the scenery that Sun Quan did not enjoy in the original history, Lu Yi followed Tai Shici back to the Hefei government office.
Taishi Ci had already prepared a banquet.
After drinking for three rounds, Taishi Ci smiled mysteriously, took off his saber from his waist, walked up to Lu Yi, and said, "My lord, this time after General Huang and I made some money in Hefei, we searched for it in the treasury. , found this treasure.”
After saying that, he handed the saber to Lu Yi with both hands.
Lu Yi did not take over and said: "The three essentials of a good general are armor, weapons and a thousand-mile horse. Ziyi, it is more suitable for you to keep this sword to yourself."
Everyone nodded.
Those in higher positions do not compete with those in lower positions for credit.
This lord doesn't take away good things and thinks about his subordinates, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Taishi Ci also felt a warm current in his heart.
Although following Sun Ce is very good.
However, perhaps because of Sun Ce's carefree personality, he did not care too much about the feelings of his generals.
This new lord has thought a lot about this.
Taishi Ci raised his head, looked at Nangong Yan who was kneeling next to Lu Yi, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm not interested in sabers. I'm used to using two short halberds."
Looking back, Taishi Ci said: "Also, my pair of short halberds were given to me by my friends. I will always use them unless necessary."
Nangong Yan smiled and said nothing.
Lu Yi glanced at Nangong Yan.
When Sun Ce attacked Wu County before, he was worried about the Nangong family and left for a while.
Judging from the flirting between him and Taishi Ci, it must have been that time that he gave it to Taishi Ci.
The Nangong family is a martial arts family and should have a collection of sophisticated weapons.
Lu Yi looked at Tai Shici again, and this time he didn't refuse and took it directly.
Pulling out the scimitar from the scabbard, feeling the coldness of the scimitar, Lu Yi also liked it and said, "What's the name of this knife?"
Taishi Ci said: "This knife is called the Songwen Ancient Ingot Knife. It is the best among knives and a type of ring-shou knife. It cuts iron like mud and blows hair to break it."
Ancient ingot knife?
Lu Yi's expression perked up.
He remembered that Sun Jian seemed to have one as well.
Lu Yi looked at Ji Ling, Sun Jian's former colleague, both of whom were under Yuan Shu's account, and asked: "General Ji, I heard that the weapon Sun Jian once used seems to be an ancient ingot sword?"
Ji Ling hurriedly stood up, bowed and said: "This sword and the ancient ingot sword used by Sun Jian are made by the same blacksmith. At the beginning, Your Majesty——"
Ji Ling subconsciously spoke smoothly.
As soon as he said it, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words: "In order to reward Sun Jian, Yuan Shu made two ancient ingot knives specially made by celebrities. One was given to Sun Jian, and the other was kept for himself. Later, I don’t know why I ended up in the treasury in Hefei. If I had known earlier——"
Ji Ling smiled awkwardly.
He is not in charge of the treasury.
If he had known that there was such a famous sword in the Hefei treasury, he would have taken it away long ago.
Seeing that Ji Ling obviously wanted it, Lu Yi decided to give it to him.
But I saw a figure hurriedly stood up and said: "Master, I want this ancient ingot knife!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Between Ling Cao and Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, who had drunk a lot of wine, stood up with a red face.
While wiping the grease from the corner of his mouth with his hand, Xu Sheng looked straight at the ancient knife in Lu Yi's hand and said: "Master, I don't even have a weapon that I can take advantage of! In this way, I will let you who just sealed me go to school first. I will return it to you, and you will give me this ancient ingot knife, which is regarded as one thing in exchange for one thing!"
Everyone yelled angrily.
"What's the point?"
"absurd!"
"How can official positions be compared with weapons? This is contempt for the power of the lord!"
Ling Cao was also anxious.
Why is this Xu Sheng talking nonsense in public?
How could you easily say you don't want the official position awarded by your lord?
Ling Cao hurriedly grabbed Xu Sheng's wrist and scolded in a low voice: "Sit down quickly and stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled and handed the ancient ingot knife out and said: "I want to speak frankly, but next time I must not say that I exchange my official position for weapons!"
"Official position is something you earn based on the blood and lives of your soldiers."
"Not only is it a reward for you, but it is also a kind of consolation for the soldiers who died in the battle."
"Nothing can compare to these."
Xu Sheng shook off Ling Cao's hand grabbing his wrist, laughed and ran over, took the ancient ingot knife from Lu Yi's hand, and waved it on the spot, laughing proudly.
Everyone: "."
If Xiaojiang Ou'a and Taishi Ci were not by his side, Xu Sheng would have been dragged out and beheaded!
Seeing Xu Sheng's excitement, Lu Yi felt a bit dumbfounded.
The child who joined the army just to have enough to eat has now grown into a fierce general.
Seeing that Xu Sheng was still gesturing, Lu Yi smiled and scolded: "Take it away from me and go back and gesticulate by yourself! Now in public, are you ashamed to let everyone see you showing off?"
Xu Sheng then put away the ancient ingot sword, knelt down and bowed to Lu Yi, then happily ran back to his seat, pulled out the ancient ingot sword, and made another series of gestures against Ling Cao and Zhou Tai.
Everyone looked at Xu Sheng with gloomy faces.
This is turning a deaf ear to the Lord's words.
Lu Yi was too lazy to talk to Xu Sheng and said, "Continue!"
At this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside.
Everyone had just raised their glasses, and now they all stopped.
Lu Yi waved and asked Lu Xun to bring a glass of wine to the soldiers to moisten their mouths.
The soldier thanked him and drank up the drink that Lu Xun handed him. Then he said out of breath: "Battle report from the front, Cao Cao captured and killed Yuan Shu's generals Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang and Lejiu in Qiyang, and then Leave Xiahou Dun to guard and withdraw the troops!"
The hall instantly became noisy.
"How is it possible to withdraw troops?"
"What does this mean?"
"What is Cao Cao doing? Now that we control Hefei, it is the perfect time to encircle Yuan Shu with us and completely defeat Yuan Shu! Why should we withdraw our troops?"
