When he came to Yiyang County, Lu Zhi was surprised to see that the people were happy, prosperous and happy.
As soon as they entered the city gate, a squire came over and said: "General Li, the three bridges you built for Sanlitun have been completed. The other three canals are irrigating the farmland from south to north. I believe there will be a good harvest in the coming year."
"That's great. I wonder what the roads inside and outside the city wall are like?" Li Hugo said.
The squire said: "It has been laid. The villagers said that they are waiting for General Li to come back and hold a road opening ceremony. The road to the south is called Xiaoyu Road and the road to the north is called Nanguo Road. In this way, Yiyang County will be Future generations will be able to remember the general’s grace!”
"You came to Yiyang County and did nothing but build roads and canals?" Lu Zhi asked puzzled.
Li Huguo said: "I am staying here. I am a guest, and the villagers are all hosts. Since I am a guest at the host's house, it would not be good to eat and drink for free. Since I have people under my command, why not create something for the people?" How about doing something for welfare?"
"Oh..." Lu Zhi pondered for a while, understanding in his heart, secretly thinking that he had mistakenly looked at Li Yuguo before.
"To be honest, at that time on Kongling Mountain, my three brothers and I had to set up this puzzle, otherwise we would all die under the imperial court. Ants can only survive these days, let alone humans?" Li Huguo said.
"I only found out later that General Li killed Zhang Bao, and then borrowed Zhang Bao's armor to plot an empty camp. He wanted me to fight for half my life, but in the end I was deceived by you. I'm a loser. It’s not unfair, but I didn’t expect that Wang Situ would personally give you an official position, which can be considered a blessing.” Lu Zhi said.
Li Yuguo rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, you are so generous, why don't you go to the humble residence first to talk about it."
"That's fine."
Lu Zhi came to the thatched cottage, but was shocked by Li Yuguo's simplicity. He didn't expect that the place where Li Huguo was, was so shabby. Lu Zhi couldn't believe it for a moment. Just at this time, Diao Chan and Yang Paifeng came out, and Li Huguo said: "Exhaust the air and show me some tea, sir!"
"Yes, General." Yang Paifeng said.
Li Lu and Li Lu came to a huge wooden pile. A log was used as a table and the wooden pillars were used as chairs. At this time, Lu Zhi had mixed feelings in his heart. He did not expect that the young man who intercepted him before was actually a man with such a heart. A man with a benevolent heart has now become a county governor, but he still lives in such a shabby thatched cottage.
Li Huguo threw a few chicken bones to the old dog in the corner. The old dog had no teeth and couldn't eat them, so he kept them in his mouth and kept sucking them, his tail wagging like a drum.
Li Yuguo smiled and said: "I have no teeth, I can't bite the bones anymore."
"It's good to eat bone marrow. This old dog should eat more bone marrow and live longer." Lu Zhi said.
Li Yuguo sighed: "Now that Thief Dong is in the court, why doesn't he stop knocking bones and sucking out marrow every day? If the Han Dynasty continues like this, I'm afraid... alas... "
He didn't tell the truth, but it already resonated with Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi shook his sleeves and snorted: "I think those humerus ministers are all rats who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Teacher, please make the decision for the big man, raise an army to fight against the thieves, and teacher, you are a veteran of three dynasties. As long as the teacher responds, who among the princes in the world would dare not to obey?" Li Yuguo clasped his hands in his fists and knelt down on one knee.
When Lu Zhi heard this, he immediately trembled. He supported Li Huguo with both hands and said, "It's rare, it's rare! Those princes and ministers are afraid of the power of Dong's thieves, but General Li is young, but he has the ambition to help the Han Dynasty. It really makes all the princes in the world do it." I feel ashamed, but this matter is of great importance, how can I alone control it?"
"Teacher, are you going to look for Yuan Shao on this trip?" Li Huguo said.
Lu Zhi was stunned and immediately said: "How did you know? Indeed, I plan to find Yuan Shao for help. I remember that when Yuan An was Situ during the reign of Emperor Zhang of Han Dynasty, his son Yuan Chang was Sikong, his grandson Yuan Tang was Taiwei, and his great-grandson Yuan Feng He is Sikong, Yuan Wei is the Taifu, he has occupied the position of the Third Duke for four generations, and is known as the Three Dukes of the Four Generations. Yuan Shao has a great reputation, and his family has risen and fallen, and he is the leader of the princes in the world. I am thinking that if Yuan Shao helps me, how can I not succeed in conquering thieves?"
"The teacher's words are wrong. It is true that Yuan Shao is famous, but if the teacher comes over, has the teacher ever thought about whether he will listen to the teacher? Yuan Shao is suspicious by nature, and the teacher comes from Luoyang, even if it is Yuan Shao, I am afraid that I am also wary of teachers. Since there is a place, how can I agree with the teacher's great cause of helping? Furthermore, Yuan Shao has many capable people under his command, with good looks and ugly men, and many counselors in the literature, such as Xu You and Tian Feng. I have deep trust in Yuan Shao, have you ever thought about what might happen if the teacher leaves?"
"What if?" Lu Zhi looked at Li Huguo.
Li Yuguo said: "Yes, if Yuan Shao neglects the teacher and listens to other people's advice but not the teacher, where will the teacher be then? It is impossible to retreat, because Dong Zhuo will definitely not let the teacher go, nor can he advance. After all, Yuan Shao’s advisers are all preconceived, so how can there be a place for a teacher?”
As soon as he said this, Lu Zhi sat down on the wooden pillar with a pale face: "Indeed, I have thought about what you said, but I still hold hope in my heart. If it is true as you said, the Kuangfu Han Room will be here again. Where to start?"
"Yes, it has been like this for a few days. Why did the teacher settle down here? The city wall of Yiyang County has been repaired. The people here are happy and the soldiers are strong. It is also deep in the hinterland of the Central Plains and close to Chang'an and Luoyang. If there is a battle, You can advance and attack, attack Luoyang and Chang'an, and retreat and defend. There are terrains everywhere that can be used. Moreover, our Yiyang County and Hongnong County are only twenty miles away from each other. Zhang Jinai, the governor of Hongnong County, is my brother-in-law and a relative," Li Huguo said.
Lu Zhi nodded: "Looking at it this way, General Li is quite talented, but Dong Zhuo has 200,000 soldiers and horses. The Xiliang cavalry is invincible. If we really attack the city on a large scale, how can this small city in Yiyang County be able to withstand it?" live?"
"The teacher is right, but he, Dong Zhuo, is not a fool. He would never dare to attack without authorization, because once he attacks, Luoyang's defense will be greatly damaged. How will the princes in the world let go of the opportunity of King Qin to rescue him and get promoted to a noble rank? "Li Huguo said.
Lu Zhi was overjoyed: "Okay! As expected of General Li, I, an old man like me, have benefited a lot from your words. Since the general has the ambition to help the Han Dynasty, I am willing to cooperate with the general to discuss Dong's plan!"
"I have been fascinated by my teacher for a long time. My teacher is knowledgeable and skilled in military skills. Therefore, I am not talented. How about becoming my master?" How could Li Yuguo let go of this opportunity? Lu Zhi was famous in the court. If he wanted to get involved with him, Relations, when the powerful generals from all sides know that Lu Zhi is here, they will also flock to him, and Li Hugo can also take the opportunity to recruit troops.
