Chapter 512 The Cooked Duck Flies

Huainan is about 400 miles away from Xuzhou, and even after eight days and nine days, this distance is still considered a hasty march. Yuan Shu heard that the ambitious Lu Bu was coming, so he ran away and disappeared, leaving only one Kongcheng, his previous reputation was really not very good, coupled with Yuan Shu's propaganda, Lu Bu is simply a big man-eating devil, those people bluffed and ran away with their families.

According to the reports from the spies, Yuan Shu's remnants seemed to have also been mixed in with those large numbers of refugees fleeing to their relatives. They disappeared, and they had already left three or four days ago. It seems impossible to catch them now.

Now there are two options, one is to continue going south and directly attack Lujiang County, many refugees should be going in that direction, or pack up and go to Xuzhou, and then go after knowing exactly where Yuan Shu is going.

This time, I made a mistake in leading the troops. I really shouldn’t bring infantry and a lot of food and grass, because people don’t dare to defend the city at all, and there is no chance to catch the opponent with so many things...

"My lord, some envoys sent by Mr. Yuan are here to ask for an audience!" A young scribe hurriedly entered the military tent to report.

"Young Master Yuan, but the son of Yuan Shu?"

"Exactly!"

"Could it be that Yuan Shu passed away?" Since it was Yuan Shu's son who made the decision, it is likely that Yuan Shu had died.

"The main attack on Mingjian, the envoy wearing sackcloth and filial piety, Yuan Shu is indeed dead!"

"Well, bring people in!"

The envoy even sent a few people, perhaps because they were afraid that the world would be too chaotic to be robbed and killed halfway. As soon as those envoys entered the tent, they all lay down on the ground and paid homage when they saw Li Yunfei!

"Shut up and talk!"

"Thank you, General!"

"What are you doing here this time?"

"I report to the General that my young master is willing to submit to the General. If the General does not dislike it, please marry Miss Lu to my young master according to the previous engagement..."

"Stop, don't mention the marriage contract again. If that boy Yuan Yao is willing to give the jade seal, this general will keep him safe and wealthy for the rest of his life!" Li Yunfei directly called to stop the envoy.

"...My young master said that the general does not agree to marry his daughter, and he is willing to give it to the general for his younger sister!" The emissary hesitated for a while and then said another condition. From their point of view, only marriage is the only way to get married. The safest way to protect yourself.

"This general said one thing and one thing, only the jade seal is needed, and nothing else is necessary!"

"General, my young lady looks twenty-eight years old, she is as beautiful as a flower, she plays piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

"As beautiful as a flower, is she as beautiful as my Diao Chan?"

"This... each has its own merits! But my young lady is young..."

"Don't mention it, either send the jade seal, the general will guarantee the safety and wealth of his family, or please do it yourself!" Li Yunfei waved his hand and said, he was quite disgusted with the matter of marriage, and he was quite unhappy when he mentioned it.

"So, can the general give up a letter explaining the whole story and let Xiao Shi take it back?"

"...All right, come here, take care of me with pen and ink!"

Several clerks who accompanied the army searched for a long time before they got a piece of brocade. It turned out that although papermaking technology was available at this time, it had already been mass-produced in Luoyang City. The paper has disappeared, and writing a word is still written on the brocade. It is really a waste to popularize papermaking after returning home.

A group of people are quite curious about Lu Bu writing with a pen. In everyone's mind, Lu Bu is a reckless man who wields a knife and a gun. But to everyone's surprise, not only can the lord of his family know how to write, but he can also write extremely beautifully.

Under the curious eyes of a large group of old men, Li Yunfei swiped his pen and wrote the handwriting very beautifully. Some people still recognize this font as a kind of regular script, but his writing skills are almost as good as those of calligraphy masters. This is really amazing. It's surprising, how could a general have such good calligraphy?

In fact, Li Yunfei used to be the emperor for several years during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Calligraphy was very popular at that time. Li Yunfei was also arty. So in just a few years, he became a master of calligraphy...

"Take this letter back, and you can do it yourself!" Li Yunfei handed the silk to a scribe beside him, who was still in a daze. It wasn't until Li Yunfei opened his mouth that he came back to his senses, quickly took the silk and satin, and delivered it to the envoys.

Several envoys also brought letters and left in a hurry. Of course, Li Yunfei also sent a group of people called escorts, but in fact, he wanted to see where they settled, how many people were there, and whether they accepted his suggestion. .

If it really doesn't work, then go after it single-handedly, get the jade seal and talk about it. As for whether to give it to the emperor in name only, it depends on whether the jade seal is useful.

...

Originally, the matter was going very smoothly, but after waiting for two days, the spies sent back news that Yuan Yaotuo's family had set off to join him, but the number of troops was less than 5,000.

It can be said that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. A few days ago, Yuan Shu died in a fit of anger and vomiting blood on the way.

After getting the news, in order to prevent any accidents, Li Yunfei personally took 20,000 cavalry out to respond, but the accident still happened. Sun Ce was really bold, and even secretly crossed the river to the north. He was planning to attack Lujiang.

However, after meeting Yuan Yao's group, he even robbed them directly, or Yuan Yao simply took the initiative to join Sun Ce. This incident made Li Yunfei feel so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

The distance from Huainan to Lujiang was more than 300 miles. When Li Yunfei arrived with 20,000 cavalry, Sun Ce did not fight head-on or occupy Lujiang. After taking Yuan Yao and his party away, he directly crossed the river. .

Li Yunfei without a navy can only stand by the river, looking at the river and sighing. Unfortunately, with his current physical fitness, he is far from being able to ride the waves, so he has no way to catch up... But he is not worried about the jade seal It will really disappear, and I will find a way to go to Soochow to get it back in the future.

"...My lord, Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, please see me!" A young scribe reported in a low voice.

"Well, let's go back and see you!" No need to guess, he knew that this guy came to hug his thigh. He was afraid that Lujiang would lose his life after being forcibly captured by Li Yunfei, so he chose to surrender early, so that he might be able to save the prefect. Location.

"Xiaguan Lujiang Taishou, pay homage to Duke Ming!" Before he arrived, he paid his respects. He just wanted to keep his current position, so Li Yunfei hurriedly hugged his thigh when he came. Previously, Sun Ce's sudden attack thought that Lujiang would be in danger, but then As soon as the servant heard that the parachutist Lu Bu was coming, he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated, not even having the courage to fight.

This Liu Xun can be regarded as a small warlord, and his character is not very good. If he is allowed to sit as the prefect of Lujiang, sooner or later, something will happen. Take it with you and watch it, if this guy can still get rid of those bad habits, then enable it, if not, then he will be treated favorably to him if he hangs up his job until he dies!

Liu Xun really didn't expect that he would be deprived of his rights after coming here so sincerely, but now it's like meat on the chopping board, there's nothing he can do about it. Appearance of gratitude.

...

"...My lord, this person must not stay, there will be serious troubles if he stays!" After seeing Liu Xun leave, the young scribe hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up.

This person's name is Liao Li, and his style name is Gongyuan. He is considered a smart person in Jingchu, but he is still a young man in his twenties, without any reputation. Not long after he came here for refuge, he was directly brought by Li Yunfei's side to train him, so Li Yunfei can be regarded as a kindness to him.

"Well, Liu Xun's character is indeed not very good, but he can't be killed now. We can't kill him now because he may commit crimes in the future! People will change with the environment, and it doesn't have to be killed. No." Li Yunfei specifically explained.

"...Thank you, my lord, the student has been taught!" Liao Li bowed deeply. He used to think that Lu Bu was only good at leading soldiers and fighting, and his character was not very good. I can't say how loyal she is, I just wanted to give it a try, but in the past few days it has been very different. This lord is not only capable of both civil and military skills, but also has a strong sense of justice, and is also very principled, which is very different from the legendary Lu Bu. same. I also couldn't help feeling in my heart, as expected, seeing is believing and hearing is believing, and I almost missed the Ming Lord.

Lujiang County's bloodless soldiers were included in the bag. Recently, the law and order in the county was really not very good. Because of Yuan Shu's sudden death, the tens of thousands of remnant soldiers found their way out by themselves, which led to frequent looting incidents in this generation.

Regarding this kind of thing, Li Yunfei of course did his part to suppress the bandits everywhere, and at the same time asked Liao Li to issue a notice to calm the people, and also issued a lot of policies to benefit the people. At the same time, he also issued a notice to recruit soldiers. There is also a place to eat.

Prestige is indeed very useful. When the bandit soldiers saw the parachutist's cavalry coming, they immediately became good babies and surrendered. Of course, in order to appease the people, they still chopped down some bandit soldiers who caused public anger.

At the same time, under Li Yunfei's stern warning, even if the soldiers were temporarily stationed near the county town, they would truly have done nothing to the common people. So in just a few days, the law and order in Lujiang quickly recovered, which actually gave Li Yunfei a lot of good reputation.

Under Liao Li's vigorous propaganda, Li Yunfei has gradually become a wise and benevolent protagonist in people's minds...
