Although Wei Yan felt awkward about this punishment, he reluctantly accepted it. On the other hand, Xu Chu was stunned when he heard that he could not eat dinner."Why won't you let me eat? This would not do! I came because I heard that you have delicious food here!”
"No means no! Who told you to hit people! And Xu Zhongkang, you should also lose weight!”
"What is weight loss?" Xu Chu patted his chubby belly and said in satisfaction,"You have to eat more to have strength."
Only Chen Dao accepted his punishment and began to follow behind Xun Yu.
"My lord!" Xun You walked in with a secret document and said with a solemn expression," Guanzhong is indeed in chaos!”
Although Wang Yun had been kidnapped, there were many important officials in the court and a brave general like Lu Bu. The Han Dynasty quickly stabilized the situation. However, this time, there was a slight difference in history. Li Jue and the others did not ask for forgiveness from the Han Dynasty. As Li Ru was not dead, he led his men to retreat after seeing Wang Yue that night and went back to find Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu.
With his help, Niu Fu took over the Western Liang Army and marched straight into Chang 'an. Lu Bu led his army to fight. Although he was brave and invincible, there was a great disparity in strength. With Li Ru's plan, Lu Bu was defeated and returned to Chang 'an. He abandoned the city and fled. Niu Fu led his army to attack Chang 'an and massacred the city, causing blood to flow like rivers.
" Rumor has it that His Majesty was killed by rebels…" Xun You whispered.
Lu Peng was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that this disagreement had caused such a huge commotion? Guo Jia immediately shook his head." That's not possible. It's most likely a misinformation." Although Niu Fu was not resourceful, Li Ru was quite intelligent. They could control Chang 'an, and it was their business to control the vassals with the emperor. Killing another emperor would only lower the prestige of the imperial court, which would not do them any good.”
Lu Peng thought for a moment and nodded. That was indeed the case. Dong Zhuo wanted to change the Emperor to establish his authority, and as his son-in-law, Niu Fu did not need it.
He didn't care much about the Han Dynasty, but Wang Yun's expression was very interesting when he learned about it. Of course, he knew that if Lu Peng did not save him, he would definitely be dead in Chang 'an. However, he sighed and was worried for Emperor Han.
Although the world was shocked by the change in Guanzhong, it did not affect the chaotic battles between the dukes. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's fight for hegemony in Hebei was on the verge of breaking out. When the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou rose up again, Zhang Miao from Yanzhou found it difficult to resist, so he asked Cao Cao for help. Yuan Shu, on the other hand, saw the chaos in Guanzhong and took advantage of the situation. He sent General Ji Ling through Wu Pass to attack Chang 'an, but he was killed by Li Jue and Guo Si's Xiliang cavalry and fled back dejectedly.
The governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, sent an envoy to Lu Peng to thank him for helping to quell the epidemic in Jiangxia.
Many people looked down on Liu Biao. In fact, this person was quite a powerful figure. When he became the governor of Jingzhou, he rode alone into the complicated situation of Jingzhou. Through ingenious means, he balanced and used the power of the two local families, Cai and Kuai, to successfully stabilize the situation, making Jingzhou a rare stable area in the chaotic times.
In the letter, he tried his best to express his goodwill to Lu Peng and addressed him as his younger brother. One had to know that this guy was already almost fifty years old, and he was also a famous scholar ranked among the "Eight Handsome". There was no doubt that he was giving him quite some face.
"What does Liu Jingsheng want? You want to form an alliance with us?" Lu Peng muttered.
"Although Jingzhou is rich, it is a battleground. Our army should attack Jiangdong first. She might as well pretend to be polite with Liu Jingsheng.”Xun You said.
Lu Peng nodded in agreement and sent Liu Ye as an envoy to make friends with Liu Biao.
After settling the administrative matters, he walked out of the government office. Xu Chu stood at the door and stared at the birds on the tree in the courtyard.
Lu Peng could not help but laugh and shake his head. After Xu Chu arrived, he let him and Zhou Tai take turns as the commanders of the personal guards. There was no doubt about this guy's loyalty, but he was too greedy.
"Zhongkang, in a few days, I will arrange a banquet for you to eat your fill.”Lu Peng said with a smile. After the epidemic, the wedding date with Zhao Ji was put on the agenda again. An auspicious day was chosen to be held half a month later on the sixth day of next month.
Xu Chu immediately became happy and chuckled. The two of them walked out of the door. The guards who were scattered around to protect them appeared from all directions. Everyone was agile and silent like a civet cat.
At this moment, the personal guards had already reached Level 2. Lu Peng asked casually,"Zhongkang, how many of them can you deal with at the same time?”
Xu Chu thought for a moment, cracked his fingers, and raised his hand."Twenty!"
Lu Peng nodded. If a fierce general like Xu Chu could only deal with 20 of them, he would be looking forward to leveling up in the future.
The next day, Lu Peng sent Guo Jia to propose marriage to Lao Cai. He still had to go through the formalities.
Before Guo Jia left, he wanted to say something but hesitated. Lu Peng asked curiously,"What's wrong?"
Guo Jia hummed and whispered," I heard that Wei Jiazi is already beyond cure. He probably won't live for a few days. Why don't you wait a few more days, my lord?" When this person was still alive, the lord took his fiancée. I'm afraid it will damage his reputation and integrity.”
Lu Peng shook his head and said lightly," It's fine. Why would I, Lu Peng, care about the words of mediocre people?" After Wei Zhongdao's death, the rumors would go to Zhao Ji again, saying that she was a widow who looked down on her husband and so on. As a man, I should bear it for her. Fengxiao, since you've followed me, who knows how much criticism and gossip we'll have to endure along the way. How do you feel?”
Guo Jia immediately revealed a carefree smile and cupped his hands."It's my honor!"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
