"Father, you have been kind to me in nurturing me. It stands to reason that I should serve you filially. But I don't want to be your pawn. I have the life I want to live."

Jiang Jiong spoke his heartfelt thoughts, then knelt down and kowtowed three times to his father, and under Jiang Mian's angry eyes, he got up and raised his legs to step out of the threshold.

"Take this traitor down for me!"

Following the old man's order, five No. 60 guards in the mansion surrounded him, forming a semicircle, blocking Lu Bu and Jiang Jiong at the door.

All the guards were about to step forward, when Lu Bu stretched out his left arm and stopped the servants of the guards who were holding eyebrow-level sticks.

"General Lu, you want to take care of my family affairs?" The old man got up from his seat with an unhappy tone, his eyelids were lowered, and his words added a bit of chill.

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, "That's not true, it's just that Zhong Yi is my soldier. Since I brought it out, I should naturally bring it back."

When Lu Bu shook his head, the old man's face relaxed for a moment.But when he finished listening to the following words, anger appeared again on his weather-stained old face.

"This is an old family matter. If the general insists on intervening, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"

Jiang Mian uttered harsh words, seeing that Lu Bu was still indifferent, and when he started to walk forward, he immediately shouted: "Stop!"

Even if he accidentally hurt Lu Bu and made a fuss with the sheriff, he still relied on the word 'reason'.

Hey!

All the guards roared in unison, pressed down their sticks, and rushed towards Lu Bu.As long as the young general takes another step forward, don't blame them for being rude.

Faced with dozens of government guards blocking the way, Lu Bu just squinted his eyes.

One together, one piece.

But when he opened his eyes again, the aura exuded by his whole body became totally different from that just now.If Lu Bu, who was drunk just now, looked like a beast resting lazily, then at this moment, he was more like a majestic and majestic mountain, which was admirable.

The guards in front of them swallowed hard, the bright moon in the sky pierced into the clouds at some point, darkness invaded, the torches in their hands danced, there were no insects and birds, and the surroundings were terribly quiet.

Under the tense and depressing atmosphere, everyone could hear the beating sound of their heart 'dongdong'.

Lv Bu, who cheered up, completely crushed this group of guards in terms of momentum alone.

This kind of titan who has killed hundreds of enemies on the battlefield is as sharp as a blade with just one cast of eyes.

Lu Bu looked back, the arc of his mouth and the smile on his face were full of strong conceit and arrogance: "It's not that Lu asked me to leave, but no one can stop me so far. The gang of shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the mansion just want to block me, it is too naive."

As he said that, Lu Bu raised his foot and took a step forward in a very leisurely manner. Those guards who blocked him not only did not move forward, but even took a step back unconsciously.

Jiang Mian heard his son talk about the methods of this 'parachutist', he was a fierce existence who dared to charge [-] riders alone.If his son hadn't said it himself, he would never have believed that there would be such a powerful person as a ghost in the world.

Thinking of this, the old man waved his hand feebly, signaling the servants of the guard who blocked the way to step back.

When the guards heard the order, most of their tense nerves relaxed, and they bowed and retreated.

Those who blocked the road retreated away, and Lu Bu saved himself the trouble of fighting, after all, he didn't want to get into trouble with the Jiang family.

There is an old saying: stay on the front line when doing things, so that we can meet each other in the future.

Lu Bu feels that this sentence still has a certain truth.

Seeing the two walking out, the old Patriarch sat on the seat and sighed faintly.

In the side hall, a tall and solid man came out, and asked in a questioning tone: "Why did Patriarch Jiang sigh? And that surnamed Lu, what did he say in front of you just now?"

His current status to the outside world is that of the Patriarch's confidant and entourage guard.

"It's nothing, just asking me to give Zhong'er more opportunities to choose." The old Patriarch said with a sigh, as if regretting his son's running away from home.

"After all, it's a grown-up baby, so there's nothing to regret if you can't keep it." The man didn't go into it too much, he thought that this old guy surnamed Jiang didn't dare to lie to him.

Later, he seemed to think of something, and laughed loudly: "But having said that, I really have to thank your stupid son. He doesn't want to marry Miss Dong's family, and let me take such a big deal for nothing. He is really stupid. Hahaha……"

The following sentence is heart-wrenching.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the morning of the next day, Gai Xun called the generals to the county guard's mansion to discuss matters.

The main issue discussed and discussed is how to quickly find the rebels and cut off their main force.

Since the Han army entered Hanyang, the Qiang rebels here have disappeared.Gai Xun sent people out every day to investigate the movements of the rebels, but these tens of thousands of horses seemed to disappear out of thin air, like mud cows into the sea, and there was no news of them.

"The Qiang people seem to be preparing to fight a long battle." After explaining the current situation, Gai Xun came to a conclusion.

The generals sitting below didn't have much complaints. They had experienced wars, and even if they fought for three to five years, it was already commonplace.

The general under his command didn't complain, Gai Xun was very satisfied in his heart, he glanced around below, and his eyes rested on Lu Bu.This young and promising young man seems to dislike taking the initiative to speak out and offer advice, attracting people's attention.

"General Lu, what's your opinion?" Gai Xun asked, wanting to hear Lu Bu's thoughts.

Lu Bu was thinking about the Jiang family's affairs. He heard Gai Xun's question and saw the eyes of the generals in the hall. He sorted out his thoughts a little, and then answered: "I think that besides finding a decisive battle with the rebels, the most important thing is to fight against the rebels." The most important thing is to repair the city wall and strengthen the defense. Otherwise, even if we put down the rebellion temporarily, the Qiang people will rebel again in the future, and they will break into Guanzhong like a broken bamboo."

Walking all the way from Chencang, Lu Bu understood why the rebels in Liangzhou were so rampant, and the walls of the majestic county were so dilapidated, let alone the other counties under its jurisdiction.

As the most important and minimum fortification, the city is not done well, how can it be expected to resist the rebels in the city.No wonder the Qiang rebels would easily plunder everywhere without fear.

This was purely done by the local officials themselves.

Gai Xun shook his head helplessly when he heard Lu Bu mention repairing the city wall. He had thought about this a long time ago.However, repairing the city requires a large sum of money to support it. Now the people in the city can't even afford to eat, and the treasury in the city is already empty.

In such a predicament, what should I use to fix it?

"Didn't the imperial court allocate a lot of money every year for repairs and tidying up?" Lu Bu was puzzled by this. Wuyuan County received a lot of repair expenses last year, and I believe Liangzhou should be no exception. .

Corruption may be possible in other places, but Hanyang is where Gai Xun personally sits as the county governor. With Gai Xun's character, it is absolutely impossible to do such a despicable thing.

However, Lu Bu didn't know that Gai Xun had only been in Hanyang not long ago.At first, he was sent here as an official because of his bitter advice.The former governor even dared to be greedy for the cost of recruiting soldiers. Liangzhou is so high that the emperor is far away. There is nothing he can't do.

So Liangzhou was poorer and poorer, and the people at the bottom were in dire straits. Not only did the officials above not help, but they oppressed them even more, which led to this huge rebellion dominated by the Qiang people.

After all, His Majesty the Son of Heaven, who lives in Luoyang, is selling officials and nobles. How can officials in these places climb up if they don't collect some money.

Having figured this out, Lu Bu didn't say anything more.

report~~~

Just as Gai Xun was about to adjourn the meeting and let the generals go down to perform their duties, a blood-stained soldier rushed into the hall and shouted a long and loud announcement from a long distance away.The blood dripping from the armor formed a long red line on the ground.

When Gai Xun saw the distressed appearance of the soldiers, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't need to guess to know that something must be wrong.

The soldier knelt on one knee in the hall, cupped his fists and bowed to Gai Xun. The blood from the fierce battle was still wet on his body, and his hoarse voice was full of sorrow: "Junshou, when our army transported grain and grass to Panzhong Mountain, we encountered The rebel army ambushed and suffered heavy damage, please send troops to rescue quickly, general!"

Hearing this news, all the generals couldn't sit still, their faces were filled with great shock.If the rebels really cut off the food and grass, what will they eat in the next few months?
