Liu Muzhi nodded: "When the world is in chaos, there will be more refugees and heroes from all over the country. The same is true in Guanzhong. If Huanxuan wants to stand on his own, he must have an army of his own. The court will not let him do so, and his uncle will also guard against it." If you look at him, this Lu Zongzhi may make him realize his wish."
Liu Yu sighed: "If this is the case, Xi Le will definitely lose, and Huan Xuan will not blink even if he has 10 million."
On the square, Liu Yi's face was uncertain. He looked at Huan Xuan, who looked half-smiling but not smiling. His hand had been clenched into a fist and was trembling slightly. He was weighing the three things repeatedly in his heart. Millions. Although he has made a lot of money in the past few years from his gang of gangsters and the robberies and raids after the war, his total net worth is only about this amount. In order to win face, he has invested all his accumulation over the years. In the future, his subordinates Those brothers have to drink the northwest wind. Is it really worth it? He suddenly began to understand why Liu Yu had to withdraw early.
Huan Xuan looked at Liu Yi with a smile: "Brother Xile, do you want to continue following? Secretary Wang has sounded the gong once." Before he finished speaking, another gong sounded on the stage, in conjunction with Wang Mi. Voice: "Three million, this is the second time. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked back to his place. Huan Xuan smiled slightly and raised his hand to Liu Yi: "Thank you, Brother Xile, for the offer."
Wang Mi's voice sounded for the third time, accompanied by a heavy gong sound: "Three million, for the third time, congratulations to Prince Huan for acquiring this slave named Lu Zongzhi."
Huan Xuan smiled and saluted everyone around him, then he walked towards the paperwork where the deed and tax procedures were being done. Two strong men held one of Lu Zong on the stage, one on the other, and walked towards Huan Xuan. At this time, Huanxuan had just completed the delivery documents. He smiled and said to the clerk: "Thank you, Mr. Lao. For this money, one million, please go to my entourage immediately to pick it up. There are still two million, my uncle will It will be sent from Jingzhou within ten months."
The civil servant smiled slightly: "Since it was promised by Prince Huan, the junior official will not doubt it, so let's do it, man, you can take it away first."
Huanxuan turned around and looked at Lu Zongzhi. The two strong men saluted and left with the civil servants. Only the two people who had newly established the relationship between master and servant were left in this place. Huanxuan looked at Lu Zongzhi. Zongzhi smiled slightly: "General Lu, we are destined to be together."
Lu Zongzhi said in a deep voice: "Prince Huan, you and I have never been together, why are you willing to pay such a large amount of money to buy me? Is it worth it?"
Huan Xuan smiled and said: "I said just now that a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. No amount of money is too much for a hero like General Lu."
A strange light flashed in Lu Zongzhi's eyes: "It's just that I, Lu Zong, am no more than a brave husband. I'm afraid I will disappoint Prince Huan."
Huan Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "General Lu, since I know that you are not an ordinary soldier in the Qin army, naturally I am not paying this money just to buy a bodyguard to look after the home and the courtyard. I still have great use for you. "
Lu Zongzhi said curiously: "Lu is just a defeated general and a prisoner of his subordinates. Where does this important position come from?"
Huan Xuan put away his smile and said seriously: "I remember that when the general was in the Qin army, he followed the general Zhang Hao. This Zhang Hao was an enemy of Qin. He was a general of Hou Zhao and the adopted son of Bingzhou governor Zhang Ping. On the battlefield He was captured by two generals of the Qin State, Deng Qiang and Lu Guang, who worked together. Wasn't he also a prisoner like the general? But later he was appreciated by Fu Jian and became a general of the Qin Army. What Zhang Hao could do, why did the general cannot?"
A hint of gratitude flashed in Lu Zongzhi's eyes, and he shook his head: "To be honest, although I, Lu Zongzhi, also claim to have extraordinary martial arts skills, I am still inferior to Zhang Hao, who is known as the enemy of thousands of people. Even though he is now over 10 years old. In his fifties, my strength is not as strong as when I was young, but I have competed with him, and I am still not as good as him. If the prince thinks that I am Zhang Hao, I am afraid he will be disappointed."
Huan Xuan smiled and shook his head: "But General, there is one thing that Zhang Hao does not have. That is your popularity in Guanzhong. Zhang Hao is just an orphan who was abandoned since childhood. Even his parents don't know who he is. But General, you have lived in Guanzhong for generations, and you have close friendship with many heroes in Guanzhong. Moreover, your family and children are all in Guanzhong now, don’t you want to see them again? "
A hint of helplessness flashed in Lu Zongzhi's eyes, and he sighed: "I was defeated and captured, and my family will only be humiliated because of it. They may even become slaves because of my involvement. I'm sorry for them, and I don't expect to see you again in this life. As for me Those brothers in Guanzhong are far apart from me, so what should I miss?"
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "What if I give the general a chance to recruit your family and your old troops to join me in the Jin Dynasty?"
Lu Zongzhi's expression changed and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what do you mean? How is this possible?"
Huan Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "There are no absolutes in the world, what is impossible? How did the Beifu soldiers come? Didn't they just recruit a group of refugees from the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River? They can establish a prefecture and county in Jingkou, and we in Jingzhou Isn't it? This time my uncle and I have discussed it a long time ago. If there is a hero, we will place him in the Xiangyang area and build a Yongzhou specifically to attract heroes from Guanzhong. As for you, General Lu, we also I intend to recommend you as the Nanyang Prefect, and I can give you the authority of a county. As long as they are your brothers and family members, you can place them at your disposal. You have full authority to decide on all the positions below the county magistrate. The whole county is exempt from tax for three years. Year."
Lu Zongzhi couldn't believe his ears, his eyes were sparkling with tears, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Lu, how virtuous and capable is Lu to deserve such care from you, the crown prince!"
Huan Xuan laughed: "General Lu, you probably know that when my late father was still here, he once sent troops to Guanzhong and pointed his sword at Chang'an, hoping to regain Xijing and complete the great cause of the ages. Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wish, and he fell short in the end. The adult regarded this as the top regret in his life, and he always sighed for it. He kept saying, if we had the support of our fathers and mothers, how could we have lost! In the end, when he died, he still held my hand, which was only five years old at the time. , said, if I cannot fulfill his last wish and regain Guanzhong for him and for the Jin Dynasty, he will not be able to rest in peace even if he is under the Nine Springs!"
Lu Zongzhi gritted his teeth: "Back then, my father wanted to join General Huan, but we Guanzhong people were really not sure how long he could stay here. After all, Jin troops have not been seen in Guanzhong for decades. Everyone thought that the Jin Dynasty had abandoned us a long time ago, so the heroes of Guanzhong should pay more attention to it. Unexpectedly, waiting for this will become an eternal regret!"
