Chapter 258: How sincere and how fake?

"My lord, the magistrates of Wude County, Shanyang County, Pinggao County, Zhou County, Wen County and the eldest son of the Sima family of Wen County are outside the mansion asking for an audience again!"

In Hanoi County and the Huai County Sheriff's Office, Han Haoda came to the inner courtyard early in the morning to report to Lu Bu.

"How many times has this happened?" Lu Bu had just finished performing a set of halberd tricks and asked while wiping the halberd blade.

Han Haodao, "This is the third time. The first time was Wude, the magistrate of Shanyang County. They came twice. The second time they came to Pinggao County, Zhou County, and today Wen County."

People are coming too. The Sima family has brought joint greetings from other counties. You said that you will receive them together when all the counties are here. This is considered a gathering. I think Wude, Shanyang County Magistrate can't wait any longer.

."

Lu Bu sneered, "Earlier, I blocked the Bingzhou Army from entering, and now I'm begging the Bingzhou Army to come in. Do you think these people deserve what they deserve?"

Han Hao looked ashamed, "My subordinates were actually involved in this matter..."

"I'm not talking about you. You're just a small businessman. What can you do?" Lu Bu interrupted him.

Han Hao's face softened slightly and he said, "Actually, many people don't know about letting the people go to Dujiguan. It is mainly because Wang Gongjie and Xu Ziyuan are planning. The people in Hanoi may not like the Lord entering Hanoi, but most people will not openly oppose you.

, this scare has been enough, if we delay it any longer, something else may happen."

"Well, Yuan Si is right. If we solve it sooner, I can return to Bingzhou sooner!"

Lu Bu raised his hand as he spoke, and Fang Tian's painted halberd accurately landed on the weapon rack next to him. He picked up a sweat towel and wiped the sweat, and ordered, "Take them to the hall, call Bohou up, and I'll change my clothes and come."

."

Lu Bu was finally willing to see someone, and everyone who came to see him breathed a sigh of relief, especially Wude and Shanyang counties, which were closest to the bandits.

These two places were the first to learn that Xiuwu County had been plundered. They sent people to chase Wang Kuang's team as soon as they got the news. However, Wang Kuang's reply was, "I am not the governor of Hanoi. This fact

There is nothing you can do”.

Seeing that thousands of thieves and bandits had gathered in Xiuwu County, preparing to attack the next city, the magistrates of the two counties ordered the city to be guarded to the death. At the same time, they hurriedly came to Huai County to see Lu Bu. However, Lu Bu said that he was injured and could not get out of bed and needed to recuperate.

We will wait until all the county magistrates have arrived to receive them together.

The two of them knew that Lu Bu was angry with them. Who made the people of Hanoi ignorant of good and bad, and blocked their army outside Jiguan. The clay man still had a bad temper, not to mention that this man was Lu Fengxian, who killed people like he was chopping vegetables.

The people had no choice but to hurriedly send people to notify other county magistrates, and waited for a few days before some people came one after another.

"I've met Mr. Lu Shi and Mr. Du Fu!"

In the hall, when all the county magistrates saw Lu Bu coming in, they all stood up and saluted him and Du Ji.

"Everyone, please forgive me!"

After finishing drying the person, Lu Bu began to show off his affinity again. He said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't mean to delay seeing you. It's just that I'm sick and it's hard to get up."

After speaking, he coughed twice, indicating that he was really feeling unwell.

He walked to the upper seat and sat down, then motioned for everyone to take their seats, and explained: "You must have heard that when I came to Huai County to take over Yinshou a few days ago, Wang Kuang laid an ambush in the city and wanted to kill me.

I didn't expect that he would dare to commit such a treasonous act, and entered the city with only a dozen riders. He was accidentally hit by an arrow in the back and almost died. It took him several days to get out of bed."

"We are the ones who have disturbed you for your cultivation, but this fact cannot be delayed, so please forgive me!" Magistrate Wude stood up and cupped his hands.

Lu Bu waved his hand and told him to sit down, "I know that the Black Mountain bandits took advantage of the King's Day to lead the troops out of Hanoi to rob. However, I only have a few hundred soldiers and horses in my hands at this time. I am also wounded, so I have no soldiers or generals."

, no matter how anxious we are, we can't stop those thieves."

Magistrate Wude hurriedly said, "Isn't it that the envoy has a team stationed outside Jiguan and just sends orders to him to wait in? There is no need for the envoy to drive away the thieves himself."

Lu Bu pretended to be helpless and said, "He was blocked there by a group of common people, saying that the remnants of our Bingzhou army committed adultery, robbery, and other crimes, so they were not allowed to come in!"

"Who is spreading rumors?" Shanyang County Magistrate stood up and said angrily, "If the Bingzhou army was brutal, they would have slaughtered that group of people and stationed in Hanoi. Why should they maintain a stalemate for so long?"

Magistrate Wude followed, "No, this is a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding. Those people may have been instructed by someone to deliberately oppose the envoy."

Lu Bu said, "Then please ask the magistrate of Zhi County to evacuate the people and let the Bingzhou army come in. I will immediately ask Gao Shun to drive away the bandits."

He frowned again as he spoke, "The people from Zhi County have not come yet. Are you still unwilling to belong to me, Lu Fengxian?"

Everyone looked at each other.

At this time, a young man of about 20 years old stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. The magistrate of Zhe County is old and has inconvenient legs and feet, so he did not come to pay homage to your Majesty in person. He asked me to send you a greeting card."

, I am willing to listen to the envoy's orders from now on, and the people in Jiguan have been dispersed, but General Gao said that they would not dare to cross the border without the envoy's military order."

Lu Bu looked at the man who spoke and asked, "Which county magistrate is this?"

The man said, "I don't have an official position, but I am Sima Lang, the eldest son of Sima in Wen County. Several senior officials have an old relationship with my family, so they asked me to make this trip on my behalf because the journey is far away."

Lu Bu knew clearly that this was the brother of Sima Yi who had usurped Cao Mengde's family business. He was tall and powerful, and showed great talent.

I heard from Han Hao that this guy once served as an official in Luoyang with his father Sima Fang. When Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, he fled back to Wen County. He originally wanted to move his family to Liyang to escape the chaos, but he didn't expect that before he could leave, the princes of Guandong attacked Dong Zhuo.

The battle was over, and the Sima family continued to stay in Wen County.

The magistrates of the three counties who asked the Sima family to visit this time must all be former disciples of the Sima family. The Sima family is showing their attitude to themselves, but I don't know how sincere or fake it is?

In the previous life, Lu Bu made the wrong move in killing Ding Yuan, which earned him a bad reputation because of his already disadvantaged background. Later, he even broke the rules and repeatedly committed plunders and seizures of people's property, except for one

No scholar in Chen Palace was willing to defect to him, so Lu Bu had serious doubts about the Sima family's overtures.

However, it was enough for the Sima family to make a superficial surrender at this time. Lu Bu said, "Now that the road is clear, I will write a handwritten letter and ask Gao Shun to lead the troops to practice martial arts and drive away the thieves."

"Thank you so much, envoy! If Hanoi is protected by the envoy in the future, the thieves and bandits will definitely be eliminated, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!" Magistrate Wude said sincerely.

Although various parties have different opinions on Lu Bu, there is one thing that no one can refute, and that is Lu Bu's military ability. With his troops stationed in Hanoi, the group of Black Mountain bandits who often come to cause trouble will be restrained a lot.

, everyone can sleep peacefully at night.

Lu Bu said, "Since Hanoi is under my rule, it is my duty to drive away thieves. I have no other requirements for you. I only hope that you can cooperate with the prince's future work, so that Hanoi County can be safe both internally and externally!"

Everyone stood up and held their hands together, "I will obey the envoy's order!"

"Yeah!" Lu Bu nodded, "If you have nothing to do, just go back!"
