The winter snow melted, and the Han Dynasty ushered in early spring.

New year, new weather, through the whole winter of contemplation, through the melting of ice and snow, experienced how warm and cold...... Looking at it from afar, the mountains are dressed in green, the spring is bright, and the flowers that have survived the cold winter are quietly blooming, and the butterflies are dancing among the flowers.

In the back garden of Lu Mansion, the flowers are full of flowers, and they are purple and red.

Wei Niang likes flowers and plants very much, so Lu Bu specially ordered craftsmen to expand the area of the garden and fill it with potted flowers and plants.

In the garden, the flowers are blooming one after another, and the fragrance of the flowers is fragrant, which makes people smell it, and they don't feel relaxed and happy.

Here, you can see the flower species that have never been found in many places in Guanzhong, such as poppy, green calyx plum, sleeping incense, white magnolia, gathering eight immortals, and leaving the ......

The list goes on.

Even if it is the two peach trees at the door, they are not usually comparable to the peach trees.

The petals of ordinary peach trees are mostly pink, but the 'five-color peach' is not, its petals are almost all pure white, and the stamens are slightly red.

This is Guangling County Shou Zhang Qi specially sent people from Guangling thousands of miles to transport plants.

As Lu Bu's position climbed higher and higher, the number of local county officials begging him to do things gradually increased.

Later, many people figured out the way and asked Lu Bu to do something and send some rare flowers and plants in the world, which was far better than sending gold, silver and jade.

In the garden, flowers bloom, attracting countless butterflies and bees to pick.

The jingling of bells resounded in the garden, and the little bells ran and fluttered the butterflies, and in a short time they were sweating profusely and having fun.

The eldest son, Lu Zhen, ran happily behind his sister, while the younger son Lu Xiao sat under a big tree, looking up at the emerald green branches and leaves, stunned.

"Xiao'er, what are you looking at?" Yan Wei, who was the mother, came over and asked her son lovingly.

"Mother, eat...... Eat ......"

The little guy pointed to the leaves, smirked silly, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

He had heard from his sister that the tree would bear small red fruits, which were sour and refreshing, and were particularly delicious. So he would often come to sit under this tree and wait, waiting for it to bloom and bear fruit.

Lu Xiao is one and a half years old this year, and his elder brother Lu Zhen can basically communicate with his parents simply, but Lu Xiao can't even speak, and often drools.

Many people in the city knew about this, and privately ridiculed that the second son of the Lu family was a fool.

Don't look at Lu Xiao's usual behavior is very stupid, but once he provokes him, he will become very manic and beat people indiscriminately.

The servants he had stoned had already outnumbered their hands.

On the eve of the New Year's Day, Lu Xiao refused to go home for dinner because he was playing outside, and the servant asked him not to move, so Yan Wei had to go and coax him in person.

As a result, the youngest son came to temper his temper and smashed his mother's head with a small stone.

When Lu Bu learned about it, he was extremely angry and went directly to pull Lu Xiao back. Then he held the thick bamboo strip in his hand, and beat his son all over the house to howl, his buttocks were purple and blue, and he couldn't get out of bed for half a month.

If Yan Wei hadn't stopped him at that time, it is estimated that he would have beaten this little son half to death.

Yan Wei was very worried about this, and sent someone to invite Mr. Zhongjing, who was known as the 'Holy Hand'.

After Zhang Zhongjing diagnosed Lu Xiao's pulse, he came to a conclusion.

It should be that when he was evading the search and arrest, he injured the fetal gas in the secret passage, and later had a difficult birth, and then shook the head, leaving a series of sequelae.

As for why Lu Zhen is fine, it's probably luck.

The children were making a fuss in the garden, while Lu Bu and Xi Ce were in the stone pavilion at the corner of the corner, discussing the timing of the attack on Hanzhong.

Hanzhong, as a middle ground between the north and the south, is sandwiched between Guanzhong and Bashu. When the Hanzhong region was controlled by the south, the two sides were bounded by the Qinling Mountains; When the Hanzhong region was controlled by the north, the south could only resist by relying on the Daba Mountain.

The Qinling Mountains are high and steep, which is enough to be the southern barrier of Guanzhong; Daba Mountain is thick and long, enough to be a barrier to the north of Sichuan.

Between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, there are three valley roads connected with it, namely: Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Road.

However, due to the high and steep Qinling Mountains, each valley road is tortuous and steep, deep and steep, which is not conducive to the large-scale movement of manpower and material resources, especially the transportation of grain and grass supplies.

It's okay to use these valleys to surprise troops, but it's not good to march on a large scale.

There are two passages between Hanzhong and Bashu: Jinniu Road and Micang Road.

Wait to take Hanzhong. When attacking Bashu, Lu Bu would examine these two valley roads.

"Sir, Madame's brother has arrived and is waiting for you in the guest hall." The steward came to report.

When Lu Bu heard this, he had a smile on his face, beckoned his wife and children, got up and said to Xi Ce, "Go, meet my eldest brother." ”

The group came to the guest hall, and after seeing Yan Li, Lu Bu smiled heartily: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" ”

The expression on Yan Li's face was a little complicated, and he got up and saluted, "I've seen Wen Hou." ”

Back then, Yan Wei turned her back on the Yan family for Lu Bu, and made her father angry.

After Yan Li learned about it, he was also slightly reprimanded, he was an official in Luoyang at that time, so he naturally looked down on a small lieutenant like Lu Bu, and felt that he was not worthy of his sister, let alone the son-in-law of the Yan family.

He even thought that Lu Bu was a suspicious person, and he wanted to join the Yan family by marrying Yan Wei, so that he could use it as capital for future promotion.

In the end, he underestimated Lu Bu.

Yan Li sighed in his heart, no one expected that the little lieutenant back then, in just four or five years, would become the world-famous Wen Hou and the right general of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Bu was obviously stunned by this 'Wen Hou' for a moment, and then waved his hand and smiled: "Uncle, you will be born like this." No matter where I sit in the future, I will always be your brother-in-law. ”

Yan Wei also brought her children forward to greet her, Yan Li looked more serious, but in fact, she treated her very well since she was a child. It's just that as the son of the Yan family, he shoulders the fate of the Yan family in the future, so he has to become cautious everywhere and cautious in everything.

After sitting down, Lu Bu asked about the recent situation in Bingzhou.

Yan Li told the truth that under the governance of Yan Xin, the current state is thriving, and there is no war, and the people in the state have been able to support themselves from the food purchased from all over the country from the beginning. Although it is not rich, at least there is food and clothing, and few people will be starved to death and frozen to death as before.

Only recently, in the Montenegro area at the junction of Hebei and Hebei, a large number of bandits have appeared, and they are active in the valleys of Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places, making a living by blocking roads and looting, and the government calls them 'Montenegrin bandits'.

These places have many high peaks and extremely high altitudes. He also had to build Guanzhai in various places, and the governments of Hebei and Hebei sent troops to fight repeatedly, but each time he was defeated.

Later, the local government simply didn't care, as long as they didn't take the initiative to loot the county government, they were allowed to go. 8)
