When Yuan Yin heard what Lu Yi said, she lay down on the corpse and cried bitterly.
Yan Xiang also collapsed to the ground.
He almost spent the rest of his life assisting Yuan Shu.
Now, he is watching Yuan Shu die before his eyes.
This also means that all his efforts in the rest of his life were completely in vain at this moment.
This feeling of loss made him unable to bear it.
Chen Gong on the side quickly helped Yan Xiang.
Lu Yi looked at Yuan Shu's body, stood up, and bowed to him.
At this point, he has completed his revenge on Prefect Lu Kang.
All the main people involved in the death of Governor Lu Kang were dead.
The Zhou family is gone.
Sun Ce is dead.
Now even Yuan Shu is dead.
He no longer felt burdened by the kindness of Governor Lu Kang.
Lu Yi asked Lu Ji to come in and ask him to remember Yuan Shu's face carefully.
In the future, when Lu Ji went to pay homage to his father Lu Kang, Lu Kang also knew about it.
Afterwards, Lu Yi asked other relatives of Yuan Shu, including his son, other daughters, son-in-law, and officials under the account Yuan Huan, Yang Hong, etc. to come in to see Yuan Shu for the last time.
After doing all this, Lu Yi personally led the soldiers to escort Yuan Shu's body to Hefei.
A simple funeral was held for Yuan Shu in Hefei, and Yuan Shu was buried in the north of Hefei City, where he can overlook Shouchun.
After all, Yuan Shu has been extremely persistent in his position as emperor all his life.
And Shouchun was his capital after he became emperor.
Letting his grave face Shouchun also symbolizes that his empire and his capital will die together.
After Yuan Shu was buried, Lu Yi built a thatched cottage next to Yuan Shu's grave for Yuan Yin and others so that Yuan Yin's brothers and sisters could mourn.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu arrived!
On the day the thatched cottage was built, Zhou Yu came directly from Shu County, Lujiang.
Yuan Shu attributed the destruction of the Zhou family of the Second and Third Dukes to the Lujiang bandit Zheng Bao and his men.
On that day, Zheng Bao attacked Shu County in Lujiang at night and fought with the defenders of Shu County. He killed more than 200 defenders and seriously injured hundreds of others. He rushed into the Zhou family and massacred the entire Zhou family.
Only Zhou Yu, the only son of Zhou Yi, the patriarch of the Zhou family, escaped because he followed Sun Ce in the war zone.
As for why Zheng Bao attacked the Zhou family at night, it is said that it was for the Zhou family's strong wealth.
Afterwards, Yuan Shu sent Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang, to wipe out Zheng Bao and all the remaining parties, which was regarded as revenge for the Zhou family.
It temporarily calmed the suspicions of the major families and people in Yangzhou about the demise of the Zhou family.
Everything seems to be settled.
However, Zhou Yu didn't believe this at all.
No matter how powerful Zheng Bao is, he is just a bandit. How can he attack the city of Shu County at night?
I think back then, Sun Ce led thousands of troops to besiege Lu Kang in Shu County.
Lu Kang led thousands of people and some clan members, and it took Sun Ce a long time to capture Shu County even though the Zhou family secretly contacted the major families in Shu County and cut off Lu Kang's supply of food, grass and soldiers.
How could Zheng Bao win over Shu County, which had no internal support and more soldiers defending the city?
Zhou Yu concluded that all this was done by Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu had a spy inside the Zhou family. He knew that the Zhou family was transferring all their property to Jiangdong, and tried his best to help Sun Ce dominate Jiangdong.
In order to cut off the Zhou family's help to Sun Ce, he carried out a massacre of the Zhou family.
And because he was afraid that the Yangzhou nobles would pursue the demise of the Zhou family of the second and third princes, which would implicate himself, Yuan Shu killed Zheng Bao and all the remaining party members, and died without evidence.
Zhou Yu originally planned to assist Sun Ce in destroying Yuan Shu after the funeral. Before killing Yuan Shu, he asked face to face the truth about the destruction of the Zhou family.
However, everything was beyond his expectation.
During his mourning period, Sun Ce was first ambushed by a crowd of hundreds of people led by Xu Gong's disciples.
Now, he is about to end his mourning and prepare to go out again.
But he discovered that Yuan Shu, his enemy who had wiped out his entire clan, was actually dead!
Just die!
Zhou Yu felt like a thousand arrows had pierced his heart.
Standing in front of Yuan Shu's tombstone, he bit his lip with his teeth and drew blood.
He hates it!
God always seems to be against him!
Yuan Yin and other brothers and sisters stood by the thatched cottage, looking at Zhou Yu holding the sword in his hand and trembling all over. They were a little scared and did not dare to step forward.
Lu Yi touched Yuan Yin's head and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I won't let him mess around."
Yuan Yin looked up at Lu Yi and nodded heavily.
Zhou Yu looked at Yuan Shu's tombstone for a long time, and the voices and smiles of Sun Ce, his father, and his clan members came to mind.
Thinking that he would never be able to avenge them for the rest of his life, but could only make them hate Jiuquan and die in silence, Zhou Yu instantly felt short of breath.
The next moment, a mouthful of blood gushes out of his throat.
He just felt like the world was spinning, and he threw his head back and fell down.
Lu Yi stepped forward and hugged Zhou Yu.
Seeing that blood was pouring from the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth and the others had lost consciousness, Lu Yi hurriedly asked Shi Huan to take Zhou Yu to Hefei City and seek emergency medical treatment.
After Shi Huan took Zhou Yu back to Feicheng, Lu Yi and Nangong Yan stayed with the Yuan Yin brothers and sisters in the thatched cottage for a while.
Lu Yi asked Yuan Yin's brothers and sisters to mourn in peace. During this period, he had arranged for people in the city to deliver all the supplies every day.
As for Yuan Yin and Lu Yi's marriage, it was postponed until after the funeral.
At that time, Lu Yi will gather his family members and give Yuan Yin a decent initiation ceremony.
After saying goodbye to Yuan Yin's brothers and sisters, Lu Yi took Nangong Yan and others back to Hefei.
Rushing to the hospital, he visited Zhou Yu and confirmed that Zhou Yu had regained consciousness, but that he was depressed and needed to rest. Lu Yi arranged for several servants to serve Zhou Yu and sent him back to Shu County to continue mourning. Lu Yi then summoned the Taishi Ci, Xu Shu, Zhang Liao, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Yan Xiang and other civil servants and generals in Hefei held a meeting.
The contents of the meeting mainly include three parts:
First, Yuan Shu is after all the fourth generation and the third prince. Now he is buried in the north of Hefei City, and his children are also mourning there. Someone must visit him every day with supplies to ensure that the mourning can end peacefully.
Second, the removal of Taishi Ci from the position of chief of Hefei was regarded as punishment for Taishi Ci's complete failure to respond to Shouchun being taken away by Cao's army. Taishi Ci, Xu Shu and others directly returned to Wu County with Lu Yi and others to listen to others.
Incorporate Hefei into Lujiang.
The Lujiang Administrative Office moved from Shu County to Hefei.
Zhang Hong, the former governor of Lujiang County, was dismissed from his position as governor, followed Lu Yi back to Wu County, and was promoted to the post of chief historian of the residence.
Tian Yu, the former Lujiang Duwei, resigned from his post and returned to Wu County with Lu Yi to obey his orders.
In addition, a team of ten people was appointed to go to Tian Yu's hometown and take Tian Yu's old mother to the Lu family in Wu County to enjoy her old age.
Zhang Liao was appointed Captain of Lujiang, in charge of all military power in Lujiang, and also responsible for governance.
Que Ze was appointed as the chief registrar of Lujiang to assist Zhang Liao in handling affairs related to Lujiang.
Yang Hong, the former crown prince of Yuan Shu, was appointed as the Lujiang meritorious official to assist Zhang Liao in handling Lujiang-related affairs.
Third, Ruxu Port was opened up as a training ground for the navy. Zhang Liao sent people to build it. It will become a training place for Jiangdong's navy in the future to prepare for the war against Jingzhou after recuperation.
After the meeting, Lu Yi led Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Liu Ye, Yan Xiang, Gao Shun, Taishi Ci, Xu Shu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Song Qian, Tian Yu and five thousand soldiers through Ru. Heading south from Sugang, the landing area is Port A.
Liu Ye had already written to Wujunfu Yamen, asking all important officials from Jiangdong to come to the port, firstly to welcome the army's victorious return; secondly, Lu Yi wanted to discuss plans for rest and recuperation in the next few years, as well as some transfer orders.
Surprisingly, only 70% of the officials came this time.
People like Lu Fan, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Sun Fu and others did not come.
Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan did not come this time either.
When Gu Yong saw Lu Yi getting off the ship, he rushed to greet him.
While walking beside Lu Yi, Gu Yong whispered: "My lord, something is wrong."
Lu Yi said: "Say."
Gu Yong said: "The Sun clan, headed by Sun Jing, Sun He, and Sun Fu, arrived at the Wu County government office half a month ago and have been getting along with Mrs. Wu."
"Furthermore, I heard from Yan Zhen and others that Sun Quan has not been to the Lu Family Academy for a long time."
"Sun Quan also stays in the government office every day and cannot come out."
Lu Yi: ".Many officials didn't come this time. Are they the Wu County government offices that they often go to?"
Gu Yong waved to Yan Zhen who came up to him.
Yan Zhen said with a serious face: "After the Sun clan members arrived at the government office, they first contacted Mrs. Wu. After that, some officials often came in and out of the Wu County government office."
"Sun Quan also won't go to the Lu Family Academy during this period."
"Also, Sun Fu often went to the academy to cause trouble, driving away students from all over the country, and even stabbed several people with swords."
"Students from all over the country no longer dare to go to the academy. They have all gathered at the Lu family, waiting for my lord to come back and ask for an explanation."
Lu Yi nodded and said: "Who are the Sun clan members? Who are they holding in Jiangdong now? How many people have you brought here? Also, list the names and positions of the officials who did not come today. "
"It's not a big deal, don't be so serious."
"This time we went on an expedition and completed the five-year plan we made in just one year, which is something to be happy about."
Gu Yong then smiled and said: "My lord, you only took less than five days to capture Lu Bu. Everyone was shocked! Lu Bu is a powerful hero in the world. He is extremely brave. When Sun Ce was still alive, he didn't even dare to Fight with him. Now, it is in your hands, my lord."
Lu Yi said: "It's all thanks to everyone! Go back first, and after the rest, I will introduce some great talents to you."
Gu Yong said hurriedly: "We have already prepared this. I wonder if my lord should go back to the Lu family first, or go directly to the Wu County government office?"
Lu Yi smiled and said: "Dayu has passed through the house three times without entering. How can I not do it even once? Go to the Wu County government office first."
Then he looked at Yan Zhen and said, "Send someone to the Wu County government office to prepare a banquet and help everyone clean up. I also want to see how powerful Mrs. Wu and these Sun clan members are."
Yan Zhen responded and was about to leave.
Lu Yi hurriedly grabbed Yan Zhen and said, "Wait a minute, you bring a group of people over first."
Yan Zhen looked at Lu Yi doubtfully.
Lu Yi said to Gao Shun who was following him: "I am trapped in the camp and carrying heavy armor. This journey is harder than everyone else. I need to rest earlier."
"You ask all the soldiers trapped in the camp to put on their armor and follow Mancai to the Wu County government office first."
Looking at Yan Zhen, Lu Yi said: "This is General Gao. You first take them to the Wu County government office, clear out the houses around the government office, and arrange for them to rest first and eat and drink well."
Gao Shun immediately asked the trapped soldiers who disembarked to take down their horses from the ship.
Each war horse carries the heavy armor and weapons of a trapped soldier.
All the soldiers trapped in the camp took off their heavy armor from their horses and put it on.
Yan Zhen shivered as he looked at the more than 700 heavy armored soldiers armed to the teeth, each reflecting the cold light in the sun.
Heavy armored soldiers!
Oh My God!
so much!
Did the Lord get rich when he went out this time or something?
I am afraid that all the families in Wu County will bleed heavily if they raise these heavy-armored soldiers.
Although he was shocked, Yan Zhen still made a gesture of invitation to Gao Shun, and then led the way.
The other civil servants and generals who came to greet them were all surprised when they saw Gao Shun and the Qibai trap camp leaving behind Yan Zhen first.
The lord seems to be well prepared for his return this time!
I hope it won't cause a bloody storm.
