Xudu.
After Lu Yi led his soldiers into Xudu, he strictly ordered no harm to the people.
After that, he did not enter the palace directly.
On the one hand, he asked Ma Liang to pacify the people in Xudu City on his behalf and promote the Jiangdong army as a benevolent and righteous army.
On the other hand, he discussed the subsequent actions with Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Taishi Ci, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other soldiers.
mainly include:
First, should we take advantage of the situation to pursue Yuan Shao?
Second, the emperor Liu Xie has passed away. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Who should be elected as the emperor?
Third, who should be sent to capture Runan.
Fourth, send people from Xiaopei to assist Xuzhou.
Finally, after discussion, Huang Zhong was sent to lead 4,000 troops south to Runan.
Although Runan is still occupied by Yuan Shao, it has been surrounded and Yuan Shao has withdrawn his troops.
Therefore, it should not be difficult to capture Runan.
Huang Zhong took the order and left.
Let Tai Shici be the commander-in-chief, lead 30,000 archers and 6,000 cavalry, and continue to take advantage of the situation to pursue Yuan Shao's army as far as Guandu.
After that, he set up camp in Guandu and established a military camp again.
Although they will no longer go north for the time being, they must always be on guard against Yuan Shao's army going south again.
Moreover, soldiers also need to be trained.
In the past, the Lujiang Corps trained its army in Hefei and its navy in Ruxugang.
Nowadays, the Dajiang area is completely controlled by Jiangdong, and there is no need for such a huge navy.
Cheng Pu's naval force is enough.
Just enough to bring all the Lujiang legions to Guandu to train the army, so that the general can go north or west.
After Guandu, we stopped moving forward.
Yuan Shao suffered a huge defeat this time, but the fundamentals were not damaged.
Continuing to go north is a long battle.
The current situation in Jiangdong simply does not allow for the war to continue.
Taishi Ci received the order and led the army directly from Xudu to Guandu with Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin and other generals.
After Tai Shici left, Lu Yi ordered Zhang He and Gao Lan to lead 6,000 cavalry from Xiaopei to help Xuzhou, forcing back the troops of Yuan Shao's eldest son and second son, and protecting Xuzhou.
After that, it was discussed who should be elected to succeed the emperor.
In the end, everyone discussed and elected the five-year-old Liu Feng, the son of the late emperor Liu Xie and Cao Cao's daughter Cao Hua, as the emperor.
On the ninth day of October in the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Feng officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and changed his reign name to Tai'an, which means peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
In order to commend Wu Hou Lu Yi for repelling Yuan Shao and supporting the Han Dynasty, the new emperor conferred Wu Hou Lu Yi as King of Wu, added Jiuxi, established the Wu Kingdom, and established the capital in Wu County.
The State of Wu owned nine counties in Yangzhou and had hundreds of officials including prime ministers, lieutenants, and generals.
There was also news from Taishi Ci ahead that they had rushed to Guandu and set up camp there. Yuan Shao's main army had retreated to Yecheng, leaving Chunyu Qiong and other generals to garrison Chenliu.
When Zhang He and Gao Lan led the cavalry from Xiaopei to support Xuzhou, the army of Yuan Shao's eldest son and second son also withdrew from Xuzhou.
Yuan Shao's eldest son's army retreated to Puyang.
Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi's army retreated to Youzhou.
Xuzhou’s crisis is over!
On October 20th of the first year of Tai'an, the new emperor appointed Tao Shang, the leader of the Central Military Commission, as Colonel Huben, and changed three thousand Danyang elites into the forbidden army to guard Xudu.
Jiang Wan was appointed as Xu Duling, in charge of Xudu's public security and other matters.
On October 25th of the first year of Tai'an, King Wu Lu Yi led 20,000 Jiangdong descendants and hundreds of Jiangdong civil and military officials to return to the Kingdom of Wu.
On the ninth day of November, Lu Yi took a boat welcomed by the Nangong family and landed at the port of District A.
The entire district's port is crowded with people.
All civil and military officials and major aristocratic families had already received the news that Lu Yi was returning, and they all rushed to welcome him.
This was also the first time that Zhuge Ruoxue brought the entire Lu family to the port to greet him.
Cheng Pu, the left governor, also came with all the officials of the Fourth Army.
Lu Yi got off the warship, surrounded by Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, Chen Gong, Jia Xu and other officials.
Seeing the sea of people at the port shouting "King Wu" in unison, Lu Yi let out a long sigh.
It took eight years from the time he traveled to the present to finally change from the time when he was pretending to be a savage in Wu County. He kept evading pursuit because of his strange clothes and short hair, but he had to often lurk near people and learn the local and official dialects of this world. It was miserable. An ordinary person became the King of Wu.
Although he still remembers his original name.
However, that name seems so unfamiliar now.
The life before time travel was like a dream.
The faces of Lu Kang, Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi and others appeared in his mind, and Lu Yi laughed.
If Lu Kangquan knew about it, I wonder if he would be relieved.
As a former "side branch" of the Lu family, he had led the Lu family to become the first family in Jiangdong and founded the Wu Kingdom.
Will Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi die in peace?
Not only did he destroy the entire Zhou family and send his only son Zhou Yu to meet him, he also founded the Kingdom of Wu.
Seeing Zhuge Ruoxue hugging Lu Feng and calling Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Lu Qiling, Yuan Yin, Huang Yueying, Cao Jie and the children to come up, Lu Yi also went up to them and gave each of them a hug.
Qiao Guolao stood aside. Under his long beard, the corners of his mouth had reached behind his ears.
Originally, he was called "Guo Lao" by the people of Jiangdong, which was all for flattery.
Now, as his son-in-law Lu Yi ascends to the throne of Wu King, he is truly the elder of the country!
After hugging Zhuge Ruoxue and other women, Lu Yi greeted Chen Deng, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu and other ministers one by one.
It wasn't until noon that Lu Yi was able to return to the government office.
Chen Deng had already prepared a banquet to welcome Lu Yi and others.
After the banquet, it was already late at night.
The civil and military ministers were all drunk.
Even Jia Xu, who usually doesn't drink much, was blushing and shaking this time.
Lu Yi personally sent these civil and military ministers out of the government office one by one, and stood at the door with Cheng Pu, Chen Deng, Liu Ye, Chen Gong, Yan Xiang, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Nangong Yan, and Shi Huan, looking at Wuxian The lights everywhere on the street let out a long sigh.
Turning his head and looking at everyone, Lu Yi smiled and said, "Everyone, I have not let you down, have I?"
Gu Yong, whose face was already red from drinking, smiled and stretched out his fist to hit Lu Yi's chest.
The fist reached Lu Yi's chest and stopped again.
Lu Yi laughed and bumped Gu Yong with his chest.
Gu Yong laughed a few times and said, "Never!"
"real!"
"What I remember most now is the scene when Zhu Zhi followed the Little Overlord's order to attack Wu County from Qiantang and Fu County. The two of us were very scared."
"At that time, I never dared to dream that in the near future, this world would belong to us!"
Lu Yi put his arm around Gu Yong's shoulders and said, "As of today, we have made a big step forward. However, this is not enough. Our future is still unlimited!"
Gu Yong nodded heavily.
Lu Yi looked at Liu Ye again, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Yi said with emotion: "It's a pity that Zijing is not here."
At the beginning of the year, Lu Su's grandmother passed away. Lu Su took Zhang Ying and her children to escort Lu Su's grandmother back to her hometown in Xutai for burial.
Today, Lu Su and his family are still mourning at the polder.
This time, their family did not come back either.
Liu Ye said: "He must have known about it, and he was dancing with joy."
Lu Yi nodded, then looked at Cheng Pu, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Yan Xiang and Zhang Hong, stretched out his hand, and in their stunned eyes, he took their hands one by one and gave them a slap.
Lu Yi smiled and said: "This is our promise."
"fight together."
Turning back and pointing at the government office behind him, Lu Yi said with a serious face: "On that day, Gu took over the position of Lord of Jiangdong. What I said here, Gu will never break his promise."
"I will treat every hero well."
"In the past, Emperor Guangwu had the oath of Luoshui, and later there were twenty-eight generals of Yuntai."
"There are thirty-six heroes of Nantianmen in Guhui."
"When we get bigger, we will fulfill our next promise."
"Give each of you a chance to become king."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Hong helped his beard and said, "I don't want to be crowned king anymore."
"Old minister is already fifty years old."
"Fifty years of knowing destiny is enough."
Looking at Lu Yi, Zhang Hong's eyes were full of admiration and said: "I have only one idea now."
Pointing to the top of his head, Zhang Hong said word by word: "I hope to watch King Wu move forward step by step in my lifetime, and finally reach the top."
Lu Yi hugged Zhang Hong's shoulders and exhaled: "I will work hard. But I also need your help. Without you, I am nothing."
Everyone became serious and said: "I am willing to swear allegiance to my king to the death!"
Lu Yi talked to everyone for a while and asked everyone to go back and rest early. Things would become more difficult after that, and then he returned to the Lu family under the protection of Nangong Yan and Shi Huan.
The Lu family was still brightly lit.
The young generation such as Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhu Ran, Cheng Zi, Zhou Fang, Huang Xu, etc. all gathered in the courtyard of the Lu family's residence, and it was very lively.
Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang stood together, Zhuge Liang was making gestures, and Lu Xun listened attentively.
Lu Ji was talking to Zhu Ran and Zhou Fang.
Lu Ji had a smile on his face.
Zhu Ran looked excited.
Zhuge Jin stood together with Cheng Zi, Cheng Pu's son, and Huang Xu, Huang Zhong's son, muttering quietly.
When everyone saw Lu Yi coming back, they all stopped talking and quickly gathered around. They all saluted Lu Yi and said, "Master!"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Why are you gathering here if you don't go to bed so late?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang smiled and ran into the house. After a while, he came out holding an iron box.
Everyone looked at the iron box with excitement.
Lu Yi also looked over curiously.
Zhou Fang placed the iron box on the open space and signaled everyone to take ten steps back.
After that, he took out a fire seal, walked up to Lu Yi, and said seriously: "Master, this is the treasure we got from Immortal Zuo. It is specially used to celebrate your canonization as King of Wu, Master!"
"Last year during the Three Dynasties, my master, you said, what is the name of something that can shine brilliantly in the sky?"
Lu Xun said angrily: "Fireworks!"
Zhou Fang nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, it's called fireworks!"
Looking at Lu Yi, Zhou Fang said excitedly: "Although Zuo Xianren is not as gorgeous as you said, Master, it is still very good-looking!"
Lu Yi: "."
Did Zuo Ci develop the gunpowder formula and find the appropriate proportions?
After Zhou Fang finished speaking, he ran to the iron box and opened it.
Inside lay a box full of black powder particles.
Zhou Fang threw the Huozhezi into the powder particles in the iron box, ran away, and screamed: "Back! Back! Back a little further!"
Lu Yi was also pushed back a few steps by him.
After about ten breaths, only a "bang" sound was heard.
Purple flames that were more than ten meters high shot out from the iron box, illuminating the surrounding area of the courtyard!
Zhou Fang and others screamed excitedly!
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said to Lu Yi: "Brother-in-law, congratulations on being crowned King of Wu!"
Others also saluted Lu Yi and said, "Congratulations to the head of the family on being crowned King of Wu!"
