Ma Dai also cried when he saw the two brothers Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu looking like this.
Seeing this, Deng Zhi sighed to Pound beside him: "They are all blinded by power!"
"In Jiangdong, the Sun family is like this too."
"It is said that King Wu gave them a chance to make an honorable exit in the early years."
"But in order to compete for the position of the Lord of Jiangdong, they put the entire clan in it."
When Pang De saw this, he let out a long breath.
Although he is a rough guy, he often hears examples of various bloody fights for power in history.
Just say that Qin II almost killed his brothers and sisters.
In the end, he ended up like that, and there was no one to save him.
Pang De said: "I hope the general can figure it out in the future!"
"Life is only a few decades long."
"Power is indeed a good thing."
"However, it is never worth abandoning your family for power."
Deng Zhi nodded and called for the medical workers on the ship to come over urgently and treat Ma Chao's wounds.
With such a serious injury, if it were delayed any longer, he might even lose his life.
The fleet finally stopped at Xinye Caiyang Port.
The person responsible for guarding Xinye is Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng is reading military books at the government office in Xinye City!
Almost every year, he wrote to Wu Wang Lu Yi, and Wu Wang Lu Yi would reply to him.
To Xu Sheng, Lu Yi was more like an elder brother than a lord.
From the first time he met Lu Yi in Lujiang, just for a bite of food, to now, he spent his entire youth with Lu Yi.
Although he often made mistakes, Lu Yi was always partial after all.
Xu Sheng originally had no family.
The only family member he feels he can rely on now is Lu Yi.
Every time Lu Yi wrote back to him, he would ask him to read more books.
Reading can make you wise.
In this way, he won't be fooled by Lu Meng, a small soldier like last time in Xiangyang.
Especially in the past two years, even Lu Bu has been concentrating on studying, which really makes him and Zhou Tai feel a little uncomfortable.
It was so embarrassing to think that at such a young age, I was overtaken by Lu Bu, an almost old man.
After reading the book of war, he occasionally felt something, so he started writing and drawing on the paper.
After finishing writing, sign and sign: Dabao.
He sealed the things recorded on the paper and put them in a bamboo tube. He found the official in the mansion and asked him to send it to the inn. He sent the letter to Wu County and gave it to King Wu to see. After that, Xu Sheng blew proudly. He hummed a ditty.
He seemed to see the shocked look on Lu Yi's face when he saw what he had recorded.
Lu Yi's expression of shock became more and more exaggerated.
Xu Sheng's grin grew wider and wider.
It seemed as if he had already seen Lu Yi praising him.
No, he doesn't want any praise.
He only hoped that Lu Yi could put his arms around his shoulders like Chen Deng and Cheng Pu!
Every time he saw Lu Yi hugging someone's shoulders like this, he wanted to go up and give it a try.
However, he did not dare to speak after all.
Just when Xu Sheng was thinking about it, a soldier rushed in from outside and said: "Report, dozens of large ships appeared in the port! One of them, claiming to be Xinye Dengzhi, brought Xiliang Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu brothers and sisters to surrender!"
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Shinno Dengzhi?
Suddenly, he slapped his head hard.
Deng Zhi!
He remembered!
The old acquaintance of Jia Xu.
The head of the family promises the young man who will be the first to become a marquis!
Xu Sheng hurriedly ran out of the mansion.
The servants of the mansion have already brought the war horses.
Xu Sheng took the reins, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the port.
All the way to the port, the port soldiers had already gathered and surrounded the dock area tightly.
The shield soldiers erected a shield wall.
The spearmen were ready to attack.
In the center of the shield wall, Ma Chao was lying on a wooden board, unconscious.
The previous injury was too serious, and he still didn't last long.
However, medical workers have already treated the wound.
Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai, and Pang De gathered behind Deng Zhi, with horror on their faces.
In this small Xinye Port, these soldiers are so well-trained.
War horses are now unavailable.
Once these people really attack, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out in an instant!
Deng Zhi looked pleased.
Xu Sheng, he knows.
The man who broke into the Xiangyang General's Mansion and was tricked into bloodbathing the General's Mansion.
Because of this incident, it is said that King Wu, who had always been peaceful, became furious at that time.
It is also said that this Xu Sheng is a reckless man.
But I haven’t seen him for so many years, and he seems to have improved.
After waiting for a moment, he saw the shield wall crack.
A strong man wearing iron armor, a green cloak, and a red sweat-stained scarf on his head came over on a war horse.
If not Xu Sheng, who else?
Ma Dai hissed.
This general reminded him of one word: extremely majestic!
He may not be his opponent.
I didn't expect that there were such fierce generals outside of Xiliang!
When Deng Zhi saw Xu Sheng coming, he rushed forward with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "General Xu, I am Deng Zhi. I was ordered by King Wu to go to Xiliang to lurk a few years ago."
Xu Sheng quickly got off his horse, grabbed Deng Zhi's hand, and said with a smile: "Although it is my first time to see you, I already know you. You are the first person promised to be a marquis by the head of the family. That dead old man Jia Xu The best friend ever!"
Deng Zhi said "Uh".
The head of the family?
That damn old man Jia Xu?
The head of the family should be King Wu? After all, I heard that Xu Sheng was one of several young generals trained by King Wu himself.
As for that dead old man Jia Xu——
Deng Zhi couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Master Jia is doing well now, right? He didn't offend King Wu, did he?"
Xu Sheng put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't mention it, no one is more comfortable than him, right? He is in Wu County now, eating, drinking and having diarrhea every day. Sometimes, he doesn't even go to the morning meeting."
"I went back to see him three times this year, and oh, his face was glowing and his face was radiant!"
"It is said that the head of the family also said that he must be one of the thirty-six heroes of Nantianmen!"
Deng Zhi took a breath.
The thirty-six heroes of Nantianmen?
Are you sure?
Deng Zhi wanted to ask how many people had been identified, but Xu Sheng looked at Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai and Pang De and said, "Mr. Deng, why don't you introduce me?"
Deng Zhi came to his senses and quickly introduced Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai and Pang De to Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng hurriedly and enthusiastically welcomed them into the new field, and hired a medical worker to check Ma Chao's injuries.
After that, he wrote to Lu Yi again, informing Xiliang Ma Chao and Deng Zhi that they and Deng Zhi were about to rush to Wuxian.
After finishing writing, he asked the palace official to stuff the previous letter in front of this letter and send it to Wu County as an urgent letter.
Ma Chao's three thousand Xiliang cavalry were stationed in Xinye, and Xinye provided food and grass.
As for Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai, Pang De and Deng Zhi, they rested in Xinye for two days before rushing to Wuxian.
Not for anything else, just because Wu County has two imperial physician orders.
One is called Hua Tuo.
One is called Zhang Ji.
He is a well-known medical worker.
Wu County.
The palace.
In order to save money, Lu Yi and the civil and military officials discussed in the past two years that no major construction projects would be carried out because Wu County was upgraded to the capital of Wu State.
Especially the palace is just an expansion based on the original government office.
At this time, the palace hall.
Lu Yi was listening to General Minister Ma Jun's report on Nantianmen's entry into the city.
The construction of Nantianmen took three years.
Now, it is about to be completed.
Liu Ye, the doctor and the master of Qilin Pavilion, stood by Ma Jun.
In his hand was a piece of urgent information.
After listening to Ma Jun's report, Lu Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Deheng."
Ma Jun stammered: "This, this is what I should do."
Lu Yi smiled and said: "Go and rest!"
Ma Jun responded and exited the palace hall.
Liu Ye stepped forward, handed the urgent letter to Lu Yi and said, "Urgent information from Hou Zhao of Hebei Province."
Lu Yi took the letter and tore it open.
Liu Ye would not send general information in person.
Taking out a piece of stationery from the letter, Lu Yi's eyes lit up slightly: Yuan Shao is critically ill!
Seeing Lu Yi's excited expression, Liu Ye hurriedly asked: "What-"
Lu Yi smiled and handed the letter over and said, "Yuan Shao is critically ill!"
Liu Ye hurriedly took the letter, glanced at it excitedly, and said, "This is a great opportunity!"
“As of this year, we’re done recuperating.”
"In the past five years, our people have achieved enough food and clothing."
"Next year, we can start collecting taxes."
"Except Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou have built water conservancy projects in recent years, and there has been a bumper harvest of food."
"Next year, we can take the opportunity to go north!"
Lu Yi nodded in agreement and said, "Perhaps God is helping me!"
Yuan Shao in history was far from dead at this time.
It is now November of the third year of Tai'an.
Converted to the year before the time travel, it is November 200.
Yuan Shao in history, he remembered, died only after 202 years.
It was nearly two years ahead of schedule.
Liu Ye folded the letter, looked at Lu Yi and said, "But there's no rush now."
"As long as Yuan Shao is alive, Hebei will be relatively stable."
"I have to admit that Yuan Shao, as the son of the fourth generation and the third prince, is still very cohesive in Hebei."
"We should gather all the generals now and cheer them up."
"As a last encouragement before the war, let them return to their respective stations and start preparing for the war."
"Once Yuan Shao dies, we will see what happens in Hebei."
"Yuan Shao has three sons, but the crown prince has not been confirmed yet."
"When Yuan Shao dies, there will definitely be a turmoil."
"We can watch how the three sons fight and then decide how to go on the expedition."
Lu Yi stretched out his hand, clapped his hands with Liu Ye and said, "Heroes think alike, so do I!"
"In that case, at the morning meeting tomorrow, Gu will let the civil and military officials discuss the matter of the martial arts competition."
"The date of the competition is set on the day when Nantianmen is completed."
"The venue for the competition is in the open space in front of Nantianmen."
Liu Ye nodded excitedly and said, "Okay! I also want to see who among our many generals has the most powerful martial arts skills!"
At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded outside.
Lu Yi and Liu Ye both looked over.
But he was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin body.
Zhou Bujie!
The top three in the first imperial examination.
Now, he works as Liu Ye's deputy in Qilin Pavilion.
Since Liu Ye had Zhou Buyi, his workload has been greatly reduced. Now he has a lot of time to go to Wujun University and stay with Ma Jun.
Liu Ye and Ma Jun had already made a three-bow bed crossbow based on Lu Yi's prompts.
Currently, final testing is still being done.
Once this final test is passed, the three-bow bed crossbow will be mass-produced and then put into the four major legions for equipment.
Zhou Busuo walked in quickly, came to Liu Ye's side, saluted Lu Yi, handed over a bamboo tube and said: "Urgent information from Xinye."
Lu Yi took the bamboo tube, opened it, and took out two letters.
The first letter was written by Xu Sheng after reading a chapter of the book on the art of war written by Jia Xu and asking him for advice.
Lu Yi was too lazy to look.
This Xu Sheng would write a letter every half month and publish his thoughts on a large number of books on the art of war, which made him feel dizzy.
He is very busy every day, how can he be in the mood to study books on the art of war!
Handing Xu Sheng's letter to Zhou Buyi, Lu Yi said, "I'm going to give him a reply in my name. It just so happens that you can also learn from it."
Zhou Buji hummed.
Liu Ye took Xu Sheng's letter from Zhou Buyi and laughed loudly: "King Wu, Dabao is working very hard. You don't always remind him to study now, do you?"
Lu Yi opened the second letter and said with a smile: "I asked him to study, but I don't want to read so many books!"
Looking over the second letter, Lu Yi sighed: "Guanzhong and Liangzhou, no, Hanzhong, will eventually fall into Cao Cao's hands. Even Jin Ma Chao and Deng Zhi will not be able to resist Cao Cao's footsteps. .”
Passing the second letter to Liu Ye, Lu Yi loudly shouted outside: "Have someone notify the Nangong family to keep an eye on the fleet coming from Xinye. We are coming to the district soon. Let us know immediately!"
