The weather is hot in Huo County in July.
Lu Xuan reappointed the county magistrate in Huo County.
The new county magistrate's name is Ma Yuan, who was the former assistant official of Huo County. After Lu Xuan killed the county magistrate Peng Zhou, all other county officials were put under control and examined one by one.
The problems have been dealt with.
Ma Yuan was a very inconspicuous minister among the ministers. He was down-to-earth and diligent in his work. Moreover, he was a native of Huo County and was familiar with the situation in Huo County, so he was promoted to the county magistrate by Lu Xuan.
Everything in Huo County was on track. After Hefei was captured, Lu Xuan arranged for Taishi Ci to take charge of Hefei and assigned 5,000 soldiers to Taishi Ci to guard it. Among the five thousand soldiers, there are also three thousand black armored soldiers who have been reorganized.
The existence of this force is enough to ensure the security of Hefei.
After everything was done, Lu Xuan was ready to set off.
On this day, when the army was packing their luggage and preparing to return, Zhou Tai came to Lu Xuan and reported: "My lord, Mi Fang wants to see you."
"Please."
Lu Xuan ordered.
During this time, Lu Xuan did not live in the county government office, but in the military camp. As for Mi Huan, he also came out of the county government office and found an inn in the city to stay. Lu Xuan spends most of his time in the military camp, and spends his free time with Mi Huan.
After a while, Mi Fang entered the Chinese army's tent.
Mi Fang cupped her hands and said: "Mi Fang, a humble servant, pays homage to my lord. My lord defeated Yuan Shu in Huo County and captured Hefei. Congratulations to my lord."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "It's just a matter of defeating Yuan Shu. It's a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."
Mi Fang solemnly said: "My lord, you are too humble."
After a pause, Mi Fang changed the topic and said: "There are two things that come to Huo County from a humble position. First, to represent the Mi family and personally send the younger sister off to get married. Second, to deliver the younger sister's dowry. Especially this time. My little sister left Xuzhou without permission and was in danger in Huo County. If my lord hadn’t rescued her in time, my little sister would have been in danger. Thank you so much, lord.”
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
The Mi family is a wealthy family with a fortune of hundreds of millions.
A dowry sent by such a big family cannot be a small sum, it must be a huge fortune.
Otherwise, the Mi family wouldn't be able to take action.
Lu Xuan looked gentle and said: "What I value is the ability of Mi Zhu and Brother Mi, as well as the channels of the Mi family, not the dowry. When two families get married, it doesn't matter whether they give a dowry or not. In addition, Mi Huan is my woman. , it’s right to save her.”
Mi Fang said humbly: "My lord has a kind heart, but he cannot overstep his humble position. If my younger sister marries the lord, it would be meaningless if the Mi family gives her money, because my lord's Feixian Wine will keep making money every day."
"Yangzhou is located in the south and lacks war horses, so this time, our Mi family collected 300 good war horses and specially sent them to the lord. This batch of supplies all traveled by water and entered Lujiang County before they were safe. Otherwise, It can’t be delivered smoothly.”
Mi Fang said: "Three hundred war horses have been escorted outside the city."
There was joy and excitement in Lu Xuan's eyes.
War horses are very scarce in Jiangdong. Because there is no horse farm in Jiangdong, nor is there a base for training war horses.
The Mi family sent three hundred war horses, which were priceless to the current Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan looked solemn, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Mi, Lujiang County is short of war horses. I will accept your three hundred war horses."
Mi Fang saw Lu Xuan's expression and said happily: "My lord, that's a compliment."
Lu Xuandao: "Come here, please ask Zhou Yu to come."
The soldier ordered to go down, and not long after, Zhou Yu came in a hurry, cupped his hands and said: "Lord!"
Lu Xuan said: "Gong Jin, the Mi family has sent three hundred war horses, all of which are outside the city."
Zhou Yu's eyes were even more brilliant.
The lord is awesome!
The Mi family was deceived into marrying each other, and now the Mi family has sent 300 horses as dowry. It is indeed a wealthy Mi family.
Zhou Yu was thinking about the war horses and said, "My lord, shall we go out of the city to have a look?"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Then go and have a look."
"Humble job leads the way."
Mi Fang walked in front and took Lu Xuan and Zhou Yu out of the city. Soon they arrived at an open grassland outside the north city and saw three hundred war horses scattered.
Each war horse is quite tall.
Every war horse is very majestic.
Lu Xuan looked at it, his eyes sparkling, as if he were looking at a rare treasure, and he praised: "Brother Mi, you have taken the trouble to get this batch of war horses, and the Mi family has taken the trouble."
Zhou Yu had already stepped forward and looked carefully.
Mi Fang smiled and said: "It is indeed not easy to purchase these war horses, and it took some trouble. But it is worth it if it can help the lord. What's more, if my Mi family marries a daughter to the lord, the dowry must not be shabby."
Lu Xuan nodded, feeling very satisfied, and ordered: "Gong Jin, I will leave it to you to arrange the war horses."
"Here!"
Zhou Yu happily agreed.
After Lu Xuan and Mi Fang exchanged a few pleasantries, he took Mi Fang back to the military camp and held a banquet in the camp in person to thank Mi Fang for the war horse. The relationship between Lu Xuan and Mi Fang became even closer after a drink. Mi Fang said that the Mi family would fully support Lu Xuan.
This is the Mi family's stance.
Lu Xuan is also happy. With the support of the Mi family in Xuzhou, Lu Xuan's layout will be more calm in the future.
Zhou Yu spent a day digesting the 300 horses sent and formed 200 black armored cavalry. The remaining 100 horses were handed over to the generals in the army. After everything was done, Lu Xuan returned with Mi Fang, Mi Huan, and the army.
Lu Xuan defeated Yuan Shu and made a triumphant return. After the news spread in Shu County, Shu County was extremely lively.
Zhang Zhao personally led people to greet him at the city gate, with a smile on his face. This head-on battle between Lu Xuan and Yuan Shu officially announced Lu Xuan's existence to the world.
Yuan Shu became Lu Xuan's stepping stone.
Yuan Shu made Lu Xuan famous.
Zhang Zhao was quite proud. He had spotted Lu Xuan early on, so he surrendered early. Zhang Zhao still did not expect that Lu Xuan would rise so quickly. In just a few months, he would establish a foothold in Lujiang County and defeat Yuan Shu.
But that's a good thing.
Zhang Zhao waited, and not long after, a large army arrived on the official road in the distance.
However, Zhang Zhao's pupils shrank.
At the front of the army, there was a cavalry group dressed in black. Although the number of cavalry was not large, Zhang Zhao clearly remembered that Lu Xuan's men did not have war horses or large-scale cavalry, and now even the cavalry equipment was included.
Zhang Zhao was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly rushed forward with his people, bowing and saying: "Zhang Zhao, a humble official, pays homage to the lord."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "This time I will lead the troops to fight on the front line, while Mr. Xuanxin will be strategizing in the rear."
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "A humble job is not hard work."
His eyes were confused, but he took Lu Xuan back to the prefect's mansion without asking about the war horse.
Lu Xuan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Mi Fang were all there.
Zhang Zhao first reported various government affairs, while Lu Xuan listened. After all the reports were made, Zhang Zhaocai asked: "My lord, I discovered that there are cavalry in the army. Are these the horses harvested after the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Hou?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "These war horses are the dowry sent by the Mi family. Of the three hundred horses sent by the Mi family, two hundred are used as cavalry. The remaining horses are enriched into the hands of generals at all levels in the army. I want to marry The daughter of the Mi family, Mr. Zibu communicated with Mi Fang and decided on a good and auspicious day for me to welcome Mi Huan into the house."
"Here!"
Zhang Zhao answered immediately.
Mi Fang cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "This is my duty, it's not hard work."
He was very happy in his heart. The Mi family was a wealthy man in Xuzhou. With the support of the Mi family, Lu Xuan could go further.
Lu Xuan made arrangements for military pensions and awards before letting everyone retreat. As for Mi Huan, who came back together, he is living outside with Mi Fang for the time being. He has to wait until Lu Xuan gets married before he can be with Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan went to see Lu Kang first and talked about the war with Lu Kang before heading to his backyard.
I have been away from home for a long time and miss Da Qiao.
