I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 56
Juye is a rare peaceful place in Yanzhou.

To the north is a large lake, and to the south is Dongmin County, Shanyang County, where Lu Bu's main force is stationed.

The water conservancy here is developed and the disaster is relatively light. Moreover, Xue Lan who is stationed here is a local. The family industry is extremely huge. It is far from being comparable to outsiders like Xu Si. In addition to the private soldiers in the clan, the bullies and bandits of Shanyang are all You have to rely on Xue Lan to breathe.

Xu Bang shamelessly went to buy land in order to beg Tian Wenshe.

Xue Lan was different. The entire Juye and its surroundings were the ancestral property of this great celebrity. He had it all since he was born. He talked about it every day and said that other people would take care of all kinds of shady things.

So Xue Lan did not show any panic when he received a letter saying that Xu Shu, the postal supervisor under Cao Cao, had gone to Liangshan to organize an army and was ready to attack Juye at any time, and it did not even delay his interest in enjoying the snow.

Watching the flakes of snow falling, the sixty-year-old scribe stretched out his long hand to gently twist the snowflakes, smiled and said to himself:
“What kind of thief dares to come here to die.

Cao Cao may have fallen into the thieves' trick, but he was the son of a eunuch after all, so he was extremely stupid. "

As he spoke, he stood up, stretched his body, and clapped his hands to ask the servants to deliver the meal.

Standing next to him was a sturdy man, Li Zheng's uncle Li Feng.

Li Feng has a good relationship with Xue Lan, but his status cannot be compared with that of Xue Lan, one of the "Eight Talents". He heard this and said with a smile:
"Don't be careless, Duke Xue. This Xu Shu is quite capable. He led a crowd to attack the Cheng family before and killed everyone in Xu Si's family. This shows the ability of his soldiers and generals.

Although our army is large, we have neglected to train, so we have to let Lu Bu..."

"Okay, okay." Xue Lan yawned and waved his hands lazily.
"I still don't understand this matter? Humph, you damn thief, let's just call him and ask Lu Bu to send a group of soldiers and horses. There must be no mistake."

Li Feng nodded and bowed:

"Xue Gong is wise, I will order Lu Bu to send people to help."

Although Lu Bu was a Yanzhou shepherd supported by Yanzhou's powerful people, the attitude of these celebrities and wealthy people towards him was like calling him a Yanzhou dog.

He's just a stinky beggar from Bingzhou. Doesn't he have to rely on me to wait for his breath?

Speaking of this, Li Feng frowned and said:
"One more thing - Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers have always been lawless. If they are allowed to come to Juye, I'm afraid they will cause trouble again.

Only a thousand days of being a thief does not mean a thousand days of guarding against thieves. These soldiers will surely be in trouble for a long time. Please make plans in advance, Duke Xue. "

What a hassle!

Xue Lan felt that even though she was 60 years old, she still had to worry about such nonsense. It was because her subordinates were so incompetent.

But what Li Feng said makes sense——

Lu Bu's subordinates can tell they are Dong Zhuo's subordinates in the past. Forget about the drunkenness per capita, the most important thing is that their military discipline is very bad, and they are easy to rob and rob tombs.

Xue Lan is a native of Shanyang County, and is surrounded by his family's property. If these people damage it, he will be so distressed that he will not be able to sleep for several days.

"Humph, I don't even dare to measure them!"

"It's not about whether you dare or not, but it ruins Duke Xue's reputation." Li Feng sighed helplessly, "Lu Fengxian has a bad temper, and so do all his generals.

If Duke Xue gives the order, this person is afraid that he will cause trouble again and bring trouble to the village. After they have robbed them all, the people are ignorant, and it is also said that Duke Xue has attracted these people to bring trouble to the village. "

Xue Lan thought about it too.

Lu Bu was well-known for his bad temper and bravery. If he was dissatisfied with the smallest thing, he would cause trouble again if someone provoked him.

Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Wei Yue, Song Xian and others under him are all different. If something goes wrong in the future, if they cause trouble, Xue Languan will not ignore it, nor Zhang Miao said in the letter that Xu Shu is extremely deceitful. , it would be troublesome if Lu Bu's army was provoked into chaos.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Xue Lan asked Li Feng.

Li Feng whispered:
"I have a few ideas - what does Mr. Xue think of Xu Yuanzhi's abilities?"

"It can be considered a bit of force, but it can be considered a bit of skill."

"That's it! This man is just a stranger who came here to join the army. Cao Cao didn't give him many soldiers and horses. Although he was a postal supervisor, he only let him occupy Liangshan and recruit troops to find food and grass.

To be honest, this person has already sent someone to beg me to take him in. How about we recruit him as a subordinate, and then..."

"It won't happen, it won't happen!" Xue Lan wasn't surprised when he heard that Xu Shu came to Li Feng. It would be a mistake to be a thief here and not cling to a few wealthy families.
"Although I am not on good terms with Xu Si, these people were the ones who robbed the Cheng family and killed Xu Si before. If they were recruited, how would I explain to Zhang Mengzhuo?

Moreover, if we attract this kind of people under our command, won’t they rob us?When the time comes, we will have to work hard to conquer them, and we won't succeed. "

Li Feng said with a smile:
"Xue Gong, listen to what I have to say. We only said that we would recruit him under our command, but we didn't say what happens after that.

Let's recruit him over, and then ask Lu Bu to send an army to help. When the time comes..."

Li Feng made a beheading motion. Xue Lan immediately understood and laughed loudly:
"Okay, okay, yes, yes. Gentlemen compete with wits rather than strength. I am very relieved that my uncle has such a plan, so I will follow his words!"

This is not the first time that Xue Lan and Li Feng have done this business.Previously, Li Zheng's father Li Qian was also deceived by them into Juye in the name of negotiation, and threatened him to surrender to Lu Bu. Li Qian refused to surrender and was killed by the two.

This time they repeated their old tricks, and both of them were familiar with it.

Xue Lan wrote a letter with his own hand, to the effect that he had heard about Xu Shu's bravery, and had long known about Xu Shu's embarrassment among Cao Cao's army, and that he had done some bad things because of Cao Cao's threats.

It doesn't matter now, as long as you are willing to return from your lost way, I can take you in, not just you, but also your tribe, and let you fall into the arms of the Han Dynasty, under the command of General Fenwei, Marquis Wen, and Mu Lu Bu of Yanzhou As a serious officer and soldier, you can also listen to the teachings of Xue Lan, one of the "Eight Heroes"——

This is a great temptation for a man who comes from a poor family and is homeless. He can be the wing of Lu Bu, the official general of the imperial court, and can be the subordinate of Xue Lan, a celebrity. Is there any need to think about it?
Isn't it that Sun Jian is so capable and wants to curry favor with Yuan Shu and wants to serve as Yuan Shu's subordinate? When an ignorant and humble boy like Xu Shu heard that there was an opportunity to serve as a subordinate to "Eight Heroes", he had to kneel down and thank him without saying a word?
Li Feng said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Xue. I will go find Xu Shu right away. I will definitely make him willing to serve Mr. Xue."

Xue Lan also laughed and said:
"Just in time, I will ask Lu Bu to send troops again. When they arrive, I will introduce them to them and then kill them.

There is no need for the Bingzhou barbarians under Lu Bu to live here for a long time. "

The two looked at each other and smiled, both very satisfied with their plans.

·
There was no moon or stars that night, and the wind was extremely cold.

Li Feng came to the waterside as promised, and Xu Shu, dressed as a fisherman in a raincoat, had been waiting there in the cold wind.

There were many troops around Xu Shu. Li Feng glanced at them and saw that there were two or three hundred people, all on guard in the dark night, with swords hanging on their waists, looking murderous.

But Li Feng was not afraid.

After all, he is a local wealthy family and sees too many thieves like this. Xu Shu didn't feel strange at all when he came to seek refuge with him. He receives calls from thieves around him almost every day and has his own way of dealing with them.

What's more, he also brought 300 people, all of whom were carefully selected by the Li family. Who would be afraid of whom in a real fight?

"Xu Shu." Li Feng smiled politely and waved to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu slowly came to Li Feng, bowed down and saluted, saying "Zhizhong", Li Feng smiled and said authentically:
"Here, the letter you asked for is brought to you. You are lucky. Mr. Xue is willing to take you as a music director, and then introduce you to the generals under Marquis Wen to get to know you and open your eyes."

Seeing Xu Shu's humble appearance, he deliberately dropped the letter on the ground and said half-jokingly, "Well, how can you thank me in the future?"

Xu Shu bowed to the ground, and to Li Feng's surprise, he did not pick up the letter that was gradually blown away by the cold wind. He just looked at himself with a smile, his expression a bit scary.

Li Feng subconsciously took a step back. The guards around him had slowly gathered around him, watching Xu Shu's every move with caution.

"Xu Shu, what are you doing?" Li Feng looked at Xu Shu and said coldly.

Xu Shu still bowed to the ground and said with a smile:

"Thank you Li Zhizhong for your hard work!"

As he spoke, all the surrounding soldiers slowly gathered around. Li Feng could clearly see that these people actually held steel knives in their hands, and their whole bodies were filled with murderous intent.

"You, what are you doing?" There was a bang in his head, and he had no idea what Xu Shu was going to do.

Does he already know that we are going to hold a Hongmen Banquet?

Impossible. It was only me and Mr. Xue who planned it. How could it be spread so quickly?
If not, why did he beg me so politely before, and then turn around and ask again...

Xu Shu looked at Li Feng with a smile, his expression was quite playful:
"It seems that Li Zhizhong did something behind my back? Then I feel a little better.

To be honest, I waited to go down the mountain not for anything else but to take Li Zhizhong's life. Before, I was worried that Li Zhizhong was too good to me and would not kill me.

I didn't expect that Li Zhizhong would still have such thoughts, so I had no choice but to kill him boldly! "

Xu Shu was still kneeling on the ground, but his threat made Li Feng keep warning in his mind. He kept retreating, and the guards gathered around to protect him, which made him feel a little safer.

"Kill me? Kill me?" Li Fenghan said, "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? You dare to kill me for a person like you? What can you do if you kill me? Can you conquer Juye?

Let me tell you, Lu Bu has sent elite troops here. You can't even think of killing me. Hey, even if you kill me, can you pick the whole city?Can you beat Lu Bu's elite soldiers? "

Xu Shu grinned and looked a little apologetic:

"I, Xu Shu, have never been arrogant. I know that I can't defeat these people.

But I still want to kill Li Zhizhong, and I guarantee that if I kill Li Zhizhong, my family will thank me very well.

Asking Li Zhizhong to die, Xu Shu thanked him! "

As he said that, Xu Shu, who had been kneeling on the ground, actually kowtowed to Li Feng. After a moment, he slowly raised his head, with a cold and stern look in his eyes.

"Come on, send Li Zhizhong on his way!"
