Chapter 990: Lu Feng first recognized his mother
"Feng Xiao, did you say that Min Chun accepted the white horse?"
Shang Ji and Guo Jia rode side by side, chatting slowly while walking.
"Based on the speculation of his subordinates, it should be accepted. According to the observation of his subordinates, this Min Chun's favorite thing is a good horse. That white horse is a first-class dragon horse, that is, it is one of the best horses in our Pingzhou, after hearing that the lord gave it to Min Chun, many generals sighed! Guo Jia said with a smile.
"I hope so, otherwise it will be a waste of a BMW!"
Shang Ji also sighed in pain.
Pingzhou controls the grassland and has the most abundant war horse resources in the world, but even so, dragon horse-level war horses are also rare and unsought. After such a long period of accumulation, there are only six dragon horse-level war horses that can be freely distributed in Shang Ji's hands!
Giving Min Chun a dragon horse-level war horse, Shang Ji hesitated for a while before making a decision.
Although Min Chun is only an A-level general, his influence in Jizhou is very high, and he is currently Han Fu's most trusted subordinate who took over the position of Jizhou Commander. Of course, Shang Ji didn't expect a war horse to buy Min Chun, even if the horse was a dragon horse.
In history, Min Chun was one of Han Fu's most loyal subordinates, and he died because of his strength against Yuan Shao.
However, don't forget how he withdrew from the core power circle of Jizhou, Han Fu is suspicious, he only has the ability to be modest, and he can serve as a state pastor in peacetime, but he is far from qualified in troubled times.
Shang Ji's gift of horses is not a secret, sooner or later it can reach Han Fu's ears, Shang Ji doesn't have too many requirements, as long as he can plant a seed of suspicion in Han Fu's heart!
"Lord, General Zhang Liao under the command of General Lu Bu of Fenwei has come to pay a visit!"
Just when Shang Ji and Guo Jia were talking about Min Chun, a lieutenant suddenly came to report.
"Oh? General Wenyuan is here, please hurry up! β
After leaving Jizhou, he naturally arrived in Bingzhou, and according to the covenant, Lu Bu, the governor of Jizhou (self-reliant), had the right to send troops to assist the Shang army in its march.
It's just that the relationship between Shang Ji and Lu Bu is far closer than that with Han Fu, and Lu Bu naturally won't deploy heavy troops along the way to guard Shang Ji like Han Fu, so he only sent Zhang Liao to lead a small number of troops to meet him.
"The last general, Zhang Liao, meet General Zuo!"
"Hahaha, General Wenyuan is exempt, I haven't seen you for a long time, General Wenyuan's demeanor is better than in the past!"
"Thanks to the general's blessing, there is a little progress, and it is still far worse than General Zuo and the generals, which makes the general smile!"
Shang Ji could see at a glance that Zhang Liao's strength at this time had increased a lot compared to when he met in the National War Continent, and at the moment of exploration, Shang Ji found that Zhang Liao had stepped into the palace of heaven-level generals and became a real top general!
This also reminded Shang Ji that not only the Pingzhou army is making progress in the world, but other forces are also growing. I think that when the Yellow Turban War was just now, Zhang Liao barely became a prefecture-level general, and in just a few years, he was promoted to a heaven-level general, and his progress speed was not much inferior to that of Pingzhou generals.
"The lord of my family originally wanted to come to greet General Zuo in person, but Shangjun Xinding, and the state is adjacent to Sanfu, so I need to be on guard against Dong thieves at all times, I really have no time to withdraw, and I ask General Zuo to forgive me!"
Zhang Liao explained to Shang Ji with an apologetic face.
"It's okay, it's okay, with the relationship between Ben Jiang and Fengxian, where can I still use these false courtesies? I don't know where Feng Xian is at this time? If it was convenient, I would like to go to Jinyang and pay tribute to Lu Gong! β
Zhang Liao obviously hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "Of course you can, but you know, General, some people in Bingzhou still have misunderstandings about you, for the sake of safety, I hope General Zuo will not lead too many troops, and try not to be too public, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." β
"Of course, Ben will bring two thousand guards, and the rest of the army will continue to follow the established route to the sour date."
"Thank you General Zuo for your understanding."
Zhang Liao said gratefully.
The princes of the world said in unison that Lu Zhi was killed by Dong Zhuo, but this does not mean that this statement is also recognized within the Bingzhou army, and a considerable number of people still believe that the murderer is Shang Ji.
Although Lu Bu received Lu Zhi's legacy, he was unable to reverse this thinking.
If it was time for Shang Ji to lead the majority of his troops to Jinyang with a show of strength, it would be difficult to guarantee that some of the generals of the state army would directly move towards Shang Ji with a hot brain.
With Zhang Liao's permission, Shang Ji led 2,000 guards and a few generals straight to Jinyang, while the main force continued to march along the original route under Su Huan's temporary command.
Shang Ji and his party marched forward lightly and arrived in Jinyang that night.
Lu Bu personally greeted Shang Ji, and then the group quietly entered the city at night, and went to Lu Mansion to pay respects under the personal escort of Lu Bu.
In order to avoid irritating the Lu family, Shang Ji did not reveal his identity, only said that he admired Lu Gong's loyalty and righteousness, and passed by Jinyang and came to worship.
During this period, Lu Zhi's family did not suspect that the princes would regard the living Lu Zhi as a potential opponent, and even did not hesitate to use some dirty means to restrict Lu Zhi, but the dead Lu Zhi was no threat, and was touted by the princes as a saint.
In response to that sentence, the living are not gods, and the gods are not alive!
Looking at Lu Zhi's spiritual position, Shang Ji's emotions were quite complicated.
Lu Zhi was loyal to the Han Dynasty, and his moral integrity was admired by Shang Ji, but Shang Ji was already a prince, and he was inherently opposed to this kind of loyal minister in his position.
After Lu Zhi's death, why didn't Shang Ji secretly rejoice?
The group came and went in a hurry, and an hour later, Shang Ji and the others quietly left Jinyang City again by taking advantage of the night.
After Shang Ji and his party left, an old woman with white hair came out with the support of the maid, and Lu Bu, who was still in the Lu Mansion, hurriedly stepped forward, helped the old man and said, "Mother, why did you come out?" It's cold, be careful of hurting your body! β
This old woman is the head of the Lu Mansion and Lu Bu's mother, to be precise, Lu Bu's stepmother.
Well, Lu Bu and Lu Feng didn't recognize his godfather first, and changed his godmother!
After Lu Zhi's death, legally speaking, the best heir to the state army should be Lu Zhi's son, but Lu Zhi's eldest son and second son both died early, and the youngest son was just six years old, how could they succeed to the throne in this case?
Under the competition of many parties, Lu Bu inherited Lu Zhi's legacy.
After settling in Jinyang, at the suggestion of Chen Gong, the first thing Lu Bu did was to go to Lu Mansion to visit Lu Zhi's mother and serve the old woman as a son and nephew.
Although Lu Zhi died, this influence is still there, and Lu Zhi's old generals naturally respect Lu's mother very much, and seeing that Lu Bu treats Lu's mother very well, they also return to their hearts.
After that, Lu Bu struck while the iron was hot and directly recognized Lu's mother as his stepmother, and Lu's mother agreed after thinking about it, so our Lu Bu suddenly had a mother!
Although the road was a bit wild, the effect was very good, and LΓΌ Bu's rule over the state was immediately much more solid.
"Fengxian my son, who was the one who worshiped your brother just now?"
"Lord Qiyu, it is a few righteous people who participated in the discussion of Dong, and they have heard that their brother is loyal and righteous, and they passed by Jinyang to pay their respects."
The tall Lu Bu bent over and supported Lu Mu and said in a low voice.
Lu Mu nodded, and after about a minute or two, Lu Mu suddenly said, "The masked one behind General Zuo is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong?" β
"Huh?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "My lord said that he was laughing, why is Zhao Yun here?" β
The old lady sighed, patted Lu Bu's hand and said: "Bu'er, your bravery is unparalleled in the world, but the city is too shallow, even my bad old woman can't hide it, don't do this in the future, you need to ask Mr. Gongtai for more advice in case of trouble!" β
Lu Bu snorted a few times, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.
Then the old lady smiled: "Okay, okay, the old man is old, and he is not blind." Although I don't know who assassinated Zhi'er, it is definitely not that Shang Pingzhou! β
"The mother is wise!"
After a long while, Lu Bu held back such a sentence.
