Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 160: Say my name and scare you! (Thanks to the monthly ticket of book friend 2023…0795~)

Huan Jie?

Hearing this familiar name, Lu Bu's eyes lit up!
Unexpectedly, he met this founding hero of the Wei Kingdom who had served Sun Jian and Cao Wei in history here!

Huan Jie not only has outstanding diplomatic skills, but also values ​​friendship and loyalty, and is willing to sacrifice his own life!

Now that he had encountered it, he would naturally dig it out as well... No, it couldn't be called digging.

Changsha was already in his pocket, and Huan Jie was also his subordinate. This was a normal personnel transfer.

Lu Bu immediately asked:

"Mr. Huan, are you willing to serve me?"

Huan Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed!

It is a great honor to serve a local lord!
And after just a brief time together, it can be seen that Lu Bu is also a person who loves the people.

Working beside him is naturally what I want!
Huan Jie immediately thanked Liu Pan in the face of his envious gaze:

"Thank you, Lord Wen, for thinking highly of me! I am willing to follow you!"

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, and then led everyone to the county government by a detour.

At the banquet, Lu Bu asked Liu Pan:
"Are there any talented people around here who are outstanding in bravery or wisdom?"

After Liu Pan thought about it, he remembered someone:
"There is a village nearby called Liujia Village, where Liu Mi is now the magistrate of Fancheng.

"He has a nephew who now lives in Liujia Village. His name is Kou Feng. Later, in order to seek refuge, he changed his surname to Liu, and that is Liu Feng!

“This person has a strong character and extraordinary strength.

“I fought him several times before, and was defeated by him every time!

"Of course, General Huang also fought with him once, and beat him so badly that he had no chance to defend himself."

Hearing the name "Liu Feng", Lu Bu's hand holding the wine cup tightened slightly!
Liu Feng?

Liu Bei's adopted son?
But it obviously has nothing to do with Liu Bei now.

He is indeed a man of some ability.

However, in history, relying on his status as Liu Bei's adopted son, he ignored Guan Yu's request to send troops to the north to fight against Cao Wei.

Later, he took the initiative to attack Meng Da, who was also a general of Shu, causing Meng Da to surrender to Cao Wei.

In the end, he was defeated by Meng Da and Xu Huang, and then sentenced to death by Liu Bei...

He is capable, but his character flaws are also obvious.

This kind of person cannot be given too high a position, otherwise he will easily become arrogant.

Someone who can control him should also be sent to manage him personally.

But apart from these shortcomings, he is a talent worth recruiting.

Lu Bu did not plan to recruit them personally, but instead asked Zhang Liao to go to Liujia Village tomorrow to recruit them.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to come.

He was already very satisfied to have been able to recruit the powerful general Huang Zhong.

After the banquet, Lu Bu and his men rested in Youcheng for one night.

The next morning, Zhang Liao set out for Liujia Village.

Lu Bu, with Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and Huan Jie, went straight to Lingling County.

There is no one in Lingling County except Liu Xian who harmed his father.

He was also quite interested in the legendary Lingling General Xing Daorong, who was known as "If I tell you my name, you will be shocked"!
This time I went to meet Liu Du and Liu Xian.

Let's see if Liu Xian might have poisoned his own father as Chen Deng said...

When Lu Bu and his men arrived at Quanling City, the capital of Lingling County, they suddenly saw a white cloth hanging on the stone plaque on the city wall.

After entering the city, we saw many ordinary people wearing white mourning clothes, as if someone important had passed away.

After a little inquiry, I found out that the prefect Liu Du had passed away!
Lu Bu frowned immediately.

Only a dozen days had passed since Chen Deng's last visit.

In the novel, Liu Du lived until 209 AD when Liu Bei conquered the four counties in southern Jing.

And now, it’s only been 194 years, and he has passed away like this?

Combined with what Chen Deng said, Liu Du’s death was really strange.

Lu Bu suspected that there must be some unknown problems!
He immediately brought everyone to the prefectural government.

When he was about to enter, he was stopped by a soldier with white cloth tied to his helmet at the door. Wei Yan stepped forward and shouted:

"The man behind me is Jingzhou Governor Lü Wenhou! How dare you stop him?!"

The soldiers' attitude was quite arrogant:
"You said it was? I said I was the governor of Jingzhou!"

Seeing that the soldier dared to contradict him, Wei Yan immediately became furious.

Just as he was about to explode, Lu Bu took out the seal representing the Governor of Jingzhou.

The moment the soldier saw the seal, his expression changed, but he still tried to argue:

"Who, who knows whether your seal is a counterfeit?"

"counterfeit?"

Wei Yan was so angry that he laughed:

"Don't you know that counterfeiting a seal is a capital crime? Who would have the time to counterfeit a seal?"

The soldier was already feeling very guilty, but he still gritted his teeth and said:

"No, no! Even if he is really the governor of Jingzhou, there is a funeral going on in the mansion right now, and outsiders are not allowed to enter!

"As the governor of Jingzhou, you can't interfere in other people's family affairs, right?"

Seeing that Wei Yan's hand was already on the hilt of the knife, Huang Zhong suddenly spoke:

"The prefectural governor's mansion is where the prefect works, not his own private property, and the prefect is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Jingzhou.

"Since you are holding the funeral in the prefect's mansion, the governor of Jingzhou has the right to inspect the situation in the mansion!

“Also, we suspect that there is something fishy about the death of Governor Liu Du, so we need to go inside to investigate.

"If you dare to stop me again, I will kill you without mercy!"

After Huang Zhong finished speaking these experienced words, the soldiers were suddenly speechless.

In the end, only a few people were allowed in.

However, after they entered the prefectural governor's mansion, the soldiers suddenly shouted loudly into the mansion:

"The Governor of Jingzhou has arrived!!"

At this moment, Liu Xian was drinking with Xing Daorong in the middle courtyard with a smile on his face.

After hearing the words "Governor of Jingzhou", he was so scared that the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

He quickly asked Xing Daorong to take away all the wine vessels.

He put on an expression of great grief and walked straight out of the courtyard.

He immediately saw a group of tall and extraordinary-looking people walking towards him quickly.

Liu Xian's gaze quickly settled on the tallest man among them, who was surrounded by the others.

I guess this person should be the governor of Jingzhou, the legendary Marquis Lu Wen!
Since the soldiers under his command let them in, their identities must be genuine.

Liu Xian immediately bowed to everyone and said:
"I am Liu Xian, son of Liu Du. Nice to meet you all!

"Which one of you is the governor?"

Everyone made way for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Liu Xian who was blocking the entrance of the courtyard and glanced behind him.

A huge black coffin can be vaguely seen placed in the middle courtyard.

Lu Bu asked indifferently:

"When and when did your father die?"

"Replying to the governor, my father died of illness in his bed yesterday morning. The servants found him when they knocked on the door this morning."

Liu Xian answered with red eyes, looking very sad.

"When a governor dies in office, the court should be informed immediately. Have you done so?"

Facing Lu Bu's question, Liu Xian did not dare to look up, and kept his head down as he responded:

"Your Excellency. My father passed away suddenly. We have been busy with the funeral ceremony these days and have not had time to report it..."

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then said coldly:
"Since it has not been reported yet, let this governor open the coffin and examine the body!"

"what?!"

Liu Xian raised his head suddenly, his face full of shock.
