Soon, the housekeeper came to report, saying that Situ Gong sent someone to send an invitation to invite Lu Bu to come to the mansion.

Since Lu Bu's class returned to the court, Wang Yunke, as Situ, has been very attentive, and he sent people to invite Lu Bu to a banquet every three or five days. Wang Yun clearly remembered that when Lu Bu went on the expedition, he personally promised himself that he would come to visit him when he came back.

However, Lu Bu seems to have forgotten about this matter for a long time, he has been busy preparing for the relief of the victims recently, how can he still have the heart to go to Wang Yun's mansion to eat, drink and have fun.

"Steward, you took it back for me. Let's just say that I've been busy with official business recently, and when I'm busy for a while, I'll go to Situ's mansion to disturb me. Lu Bu rejected Wang Yun's invitation lightly, and in the current situation, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with personally.

Subsequently, Lu Bu sent people to call Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other confidant generals.

"Lord!"

After meeting, Zhang Liao and others hugged their fists and saluted.

Lu Bu asked the generals to sit down, and then said slowly: "Now you should also know the situation in Guanzhong, the drought is serious in various places, and it is difficult for the people to have food and clothing. Therefore, before the drought is completely resolved, I should not go out to crusade against Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other princes in various places. ”

The people did not have enough to eat, so naturally there was no surplus grain to hand over to the imperial court.

The imperial court could not afford to pay for the food, so it could not afford the huge consumption of the war.

Speaking of which, Lu Bu also told Zhang Liao and others about the matters discussed this morning.

After hearing this, Zhang Liao's face showed a little worry: "The lord wants the families from all over the country to gather a total of four million stone grain for disaster relief, this is not a small amount, how can those families agree?" ”

Zhang Liao is a child of the family, and compared with Huang Zhong and Xu Huang, who were born in poverty, he obviously understands the management methods inherited by the family.

Lu Bu asked for four million stone of grain as soon as he opened his mouth, which was undoubtedly equivalent to asking for half of their lives. If it really forces these family dogs to jump off the wall in a hurry and unite with outsiders, it will be very bad.

After listening to Zhang Liao's careful analysis, all the generals nodded in agreement.

Whether it's business or fighting, I'm not afraid of how strong the enemy is, I'm afraid that I'll have an internal ghost in my own house.

A fire in the backyard often has the effect of a fatal blow.

It was precisely because Lu Bu understood the key points that he summoned Zhang Liao and others here.

"Does the lord want us to spy on those families?" Xu Huang, who was sitting in second place on the right, asked for some uncertainty.

Lu Bu said 'um' and nodded slightly, surveillance is secondary, and the most important thing is to use force to deter.

"In the name of clearing out the thieves, I will send you to Hanoi, Hedong, Luoyang, Bingzhou and other places to help transport the grain prepared by the big families. In addition, I will also entrust you with the power to cut first and then play, and if someone drags mud and water and sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, you will be directly investigated and dealt with on the charge of colluding with bandits. ”

Lu Bu said categorically, and extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times.

"Obey!"

The generals clasped their fists together, they were really afraid of conflicts with the local family at first, but now with Lu Bu's words, it is undoubtedly equivalent to having the sword of Shang Fang who is overheaded, and they are full of confidence.

This errand seems to be extremely simple, but in fact, it is not a half-point difference. If the father-in-law is so concerned, if he does it beautifully, it must be a great achievement, and if he does not do it well, he will definitely not be able to escape accountability.

The generals under Lu Bu are secretly working hard in private.

After a night.

At that time, Chang'an was still dark, and candlelight was lit in a certain bedroom in the Great Sima Mansion.

In front of the bronze mirror, Lu Bu straightened his body, and the virtuous wife in front of him was changing the red court clothes he wore when he went to court.

"Madam, these little things, just call the servant, you better sleep a little longer."

Looking at the little dark circles under his wife's eyes that couldn't be hidden, Lu Bu was a little distressed, for the past two years, he had been fighting outside and had no time to take care of his family.

The wife is responsible for all the affairs of the family.

Others say that marrying a general who has been fighting abroad all the year round is actually not much different from being a widow.

Lu Bu lowered his head and looked at his wife, since he came back, Wei Niang's beautiful face would always show a faint smile, which made him feel warm and warm, but also a little indescribable guilt.

Gentle, virtuous, considerate, generous, it seems that all the good words in this world can be used on wives.

Especially after knowing his wife's righteous act of helping the victims, Lu Bu felt happy in his heart and was moved by his wife's kindness.

But what about yourself?

In addition to drinking blood and fighting on the battlefield, there is only fear left for the world to look at from afar.

Lu Bu looked at his lover in front of him, and he was a little absorbed for a while.

"Husband, why are you staring at the concubine like this? Is there something dirty on the concubine's face? Sensing her husband's strange gaze, Yan Wei hurriedly turned around and looked carefully at the bronze mirror in front of her.

After all, in this world, women want to show their best side to their beloved men.

Looking at Wei Niang's nervous appearance like a little woman, Lu Bu laughed, snorted coldly on his wife's face, and grinned cheekily: "Wei Niang, you are so good-looking!" ”

Hongxia immediately flew up her cheeks, looking at Lu Bu's honest appearance as she did back then, Yan Wei snorted lightly, they are all old husbands and wives, and the husband is not serious yet.

In my heart, it is like being wrapped in honey, sweet.

However, Yan Wei didn't know what kind of situation this stupid big man in front of her was in the turbulent court.

At the beginning of the hour, it was the time of the court meeting, and the officials took off their swords at their waists, took off their boots and walked into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Lu Bu, as a great Sima, is no exception.

"Your Majesty has arrived~~~" After the court officials arrived, after waiting for a while, a shrill voice was heard.

All the officials in the hall bowed down and said in unison: "The ministers welcome Your Majesty, Your Majesty has no time!" ”

Under the guidance of a group of eunuchs from the Yellow Gate, Liu Xie walked to the throne, opened his robe, sat down and said to the ministers: "Wait for the courtesy, flat." ”

Only then did the ministers straighten up slightly and go to their respective positions to kneel.

Lu Bu, as the Great Sima, knelt at the head of the hundred officials, and the three dukes had to be behind him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something important to do?" Liu Xie, who was sitting on the throne, asked out loud.

The hundred officials below did not squeak, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Liu Xie saw that no one made a sound, so he was happy to see it, "Since Qing and the others have nothing to do, then they will retire from the court." ”

Before the word 'chao' came out, Lu Bu, who was sitting in front of the third duke, sat up straight, looked back at the hundred officials, and saw that there was a vacant seat behind him, and asked casually: "Today, why didn't you see the imperial doctor go to court?" ”
