Lu Kang could not think of anything these days and couldn't sleep. Because Lu Xuan boldly raided Hefei, Lu Kang couldn't stop him. He was always worried about Lu Xuan's safety, so he looked forward to Lu Xuan's safe return every day.
Lu Kang didn't care whether he could break Hefei. What Lu Kang cared about was Lu Xuan's safety.
Lu Xuan returned safely, everything is easy to talk about.
On this day, while Lu Kang was waiting at the house, he called the chief secretary Zhao Gui and asked: "Master Zhao, is there any news about Erlang?"
Zhao Gui shook his head and said: "Master, I don't have one at the moment. But the young master is outstanding in learning and knows things like a god, so he will definitely be safe and sound. The young master even defeated Sun Ce's army, let alone Hefei?"
Lu Kang asked: "Aren't you worried?"
Zhao Gui said firmly: "Young Master has a superhuman strategist and is both wise and brave. There will definitely be no problem."
Lu Kang nodded and felt a little relieved. His face turned serious and he said slowly: "I am almost seventy years old and don't have many years to live. I plan to go to the court when Erlang returns to Shu County.
I recommend Erlang to be the governor of Lujiang County, what do you think?"
Today's big men have long lost their majesty and control. The so-called petition to the imperial court is actually just a formality, writing a letter to the imperial court. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I will arrange for someone to serve.
Under normal circumstances, it is first recommended by the local government and then reviewed and approved by the court before arrangements can be made.
But now, everywhere does not care about the imperial court.
Yuan Shao took charge of the Jizhou Shepherd in Jizhou and recommended Cao Cao to be the governor of Dongjun. Tao Qian, the Xuzhou Shepherd, also recommended Liu Bei to be the governor of Yuzhou, and Liu Bei also received the post of governor of Yuzhou.
There are countless arrangements like this.
This became normal operation.
Zhao Gui heard Lu Kang's words and said respectfully: "Young Master has outstanding talents and is both civil and military. There is no problem in taking charge of Lujiang County. I agree with the arrangement of the prince in my humble position."
Lu Kang stroked his beard and said approvingly: "Since you agree, the matter is settled. When Erlang returns home in triumph, I will hold a banquet for Erlang. When the time comes, you can take the initiative to propose it."
Zhao Gui said respectfully: "I humbly obey my orders."
"Master, good news!"
At this moment, the housekeeper came in hurriedly and said happily: "Young Master has broken Hefei, killed Ji Ling, the guard of Hefei, and now he is back with countless money. Young Master is about to enter the city and will come back."
"Okay, okay, okay."
After Lu Kang heard this, he cheered one after another.
The hidden worry on his old cheeks finally disappeared, his brows relaxed, and he ordered: "Arrange immediately and prepare the best wine and food. I will hold a banquet to welcome Erlang."
"As you command!"
The housekeeper hurried to inform.
The news of Lu Xuan's safe return reached the backyard. Da Qiao felt much lighter after receiving the news.
Newly married, Lu Xuan is away on an expedition.
Da Qiao was also worried.
Da Qiao was looking forward to it, but he could only wait for the time being. After all, Lu Xuan was back and there were still many things to do.
While the Lu family was busy, the team led by Lu Xuan entered the city. The carriage returned carrying large boxes one by one. The team was very long. All the black-armored soldiers held their heads high and looked solemn, with a murderous expression.
.
Compared with the past, the black-armored soldiers today have changed again.
Before Sun Ce went south to attack Shu County, the black-armored soldiers were trained. Although the army had strict military discipline, it had not seen blood and was not strong enough.
Today, a complete change has taken place.
These people had seen blood, and their eyes became even sharper after the real fight. Their gazes were too far away, and the people watching on both sides of the street avoided their eyes and did not dare to look directly at them.
Lu Xuan and Zhou Yu each rode a horse.
Lu Xuan rode the red dragon, and Zhou Yu rode Juechen, the two of them walking in the front.
Zhou Yu enjoyed the attention of the people around him and said with a smile: "My lord, look at the young woman on the road ahead. She seems to be looking at me. Could it be that my extraordinary appearance today attracted the young woman's attention."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Gong Jin, when we are walking together, why doesn't she look at me? Everyone has a love for beauty. Men like beautiful women, and women also like beautiful men."
Zhou Yu sighed and said, "I discovered that my lord is not only good at literary talent, eloquence, and martial arts, but he also has another advantage."
Lu Xuan asked: "What?"
Zhou Yu had a joking look on his face and said with a smile: "My lord, your face is not ordinary thick-skinned."
Lu Xuan burst out laughing, with a calm look on his face, without the slightest hint of anger, and said happily: "Gong Jin, this guy just can't be thin-skinned. Look at Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, regardless of his various abilities, he
He is just a shameless scoundrel. One of his biggest characteristics is that he is shameless. I take Emperor Gaozu as an example."
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, a little lost.
Immediately, Zhou Yu recovered and said with a smile: "My lord is right."
The two were chatting, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the garrison location. Taishi Ci led the black-armored soldiers and escorted all the money in.
Lu Xuan took Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai back to the Lu family gate, and was extremely surprised for a moment.
At the gate, Lu Kang took Zhao Gui, Li Qian, Zhang Zhao, and all the officials from Lujiang County to greet him at the gate.
Lu Xuan was surprised by this battle, and instantly regained his composure. He took the initiative to step forward and said, "Father, I'm back. This raid on Hefei has made you worried."
Lu Kang looked proud and said: "You did a good job. When I was young, I couldn't do as well as you."
"Meet the young master."
Zhao Gui was the first to stand up and salute.
"Meet the young master."
Li Qian and the officials of Lujiang County all saluted Lu Xuan.
This scene made Lu Xuan even more surprised. Why did all these people come to salute together? It was just a simple greeting. This formation was a bit big.
Lu Xuan remained calm in his heart, returned the gift with his hand, and then said: "Father, we are just raiding Hefei, there is no need to welcome him with great fanfare."
Lu Kang smiled and said: "You won the battle and are the hero of our Lujiang County. Why is it not worth it? I think it is worth it."
"Let's go back home."
Lu Kang stepped forward, took Lu Xuan's hand, and entered the mansion.
Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Tai, Zhao Gui, Li Qian and others all entered.
In the hall, Lu Xuan's position was equal to that of Lu Kang, and both of them were in the main seat.
Moreover, desks have been prepared in the hall. Feixian wine and dishes are placed on each desk, and everyone is seated according to their positions.
Lu Kang picked up the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Today Erlang returned in triumph and achieved a great victory. It is not only a victory for our Lu family, but also a victory for Lujiang County. After this battle, no one dares to underestimate our Lujiang County. This cup
Let’s drink wine to Erlang.”
"To my lord!"
Everyone, holding wine bottles, toasted.
Lu Xuan picked up the wine bottle and returned the favor. After drinking, he looked at Lu Kang and everyone's formation. He always felt weird because the formation his father created was too grand.
In fact, it's completely unnecessary.
The banquet continued, and everyone exchanged cups and toasts to Lu Xuan. After the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had passed the five flavors, Zhao Gui stood up, bowed his hands to Lu Kang, and solemnly said: "Master Fu, I have a suggestion.
