My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 208: Public Outrage
"Gao Lan?"

"One of the Four Pillars of Hebei Province, as famous as Zhang He, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou?"

Lu Yi was shocked when he saw the tall and thin man kneeling in front of him.

"Strong men, please stand up quickly!"

Lu Yi was surprised in his heart, but he looked very natural as he helped Gao Lan up.

"I see that the warrior seems to have a deep hatred for the Xianbei people. I wonder why he is so determined to kill the Hu people?"

Even if the person in front of him was the real Gao Lan, Lu Yi was not surprised.

Since he came into this world, he has met so many historical celebrities that he can’t even count them on one hand.

However, he was very curious about Gao Lan's words that even if he didn't want military pay, he would follow him to kill the Xianbei people.

"Your Excellency, you don't know!"

Gao Lan burst into tears upon hearing this.

"I am a commoner from Jizhou. Although my family is poor, I still have a few acres of land. My parents are also at home, so I am quite happy."

"Who could have thought that the damned Xianbei people would actually invade our borders and enter Jizhou."

"My parents and I were robbed by the Xianbei people. I was alone and weak and could not fight against them. In order to protect my parents, I could only endure the humiliation and become their slave!"

"But those damn Xianbei people forced us to work day and night to make siege ladders, but they didn't give us any food. They starved my parents to death."

"As long as you are willing to lead me to kill the Hu, even if you don't give me a penny of military pay, I am willing to die for you!"

"Alas... the Xianbei people committed many evil deeds, and countless Han families suffered as a result."

Lu Yi sighed and said to Gao Lan.

"The hatred between the Han and Xianbei people is no longer a personal hatred between one family or one surname, but a public hatred. As long as Lu is still alive, he will never let the Xianbei people go!"

"Thank you very much for taking me in!"

Gao Lan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately wanted to thank Lu Yi, but was stopped by Lu Yi.

"Killing the Hu is fine, but I won't accept just anyone. If you want to join my army, you must have real talent and knowledge."

"Can you ride a horse?"

"Please look, sir!" Gao Lan's face darkened when he heard this. He saluted Lu Yi with his fists clasped, and immediately came to a soldier next to Lu Yi.

"Sorry for the offense!" Gao Lan shouted softly, snatched the warhorse from the soldier's hand, and landed steadily on the horse's back with a leap.

The warhorse did not recognize Gao Lan. It was suddenly frightened when a stranger rode on it. It immediately struggled violently and tried to throw Gao Lan off its body.

However, Gao Lan was extremely weak and skinny because he had been a captive for half a year.

But he still held the mad warhorse firmly, showing first-class riding skills.

After a while, the mount realized that it could not get rid of Gao Lan and was gradually subdued by Gao Lan.

"A strong man has good riding skills!"

Upon seeing this, everyone burst into warm applause.

Gao Lan, on the other hand, looked calm and did not feel proud at all for having subdued a warhorse in an instant.

If his parents had not been trapped in the bandits' camp, with his martial arts skills, even if he could not kill the old bandit Hutto, he would have been able to find a flaw, steal a horse and escape.

After his parents died, he was determined to avenge his parents and kill the old villain Hutuo.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yi got there first and helped him avenge the murder of his father and mother.

Gao Lan also knew that he would have a bright future wherever he went with his martial arts, so he was willing to be loyal to Lü Yi. Not only did Lü Yi really want to kill the Hu people, but he also helped him avenge his parents unintentionally.

Gao Lan made another beautiful somersault and got off the horse steadily, then came to Lu Yi and knelt down again.

"Sir, I have been obsessed with swordplay since I was young. Not only am I good at horse riding, but I am also quite good at archery. Please take me in because I am dedicated to avenging my parents!"

"Good man!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yi immediately believed that this man was the historical Gao Lan. Now seeing that he was so filial, he must be a loyal and righteous person, so he immediately stepped forward and helped him up.

"If our Han Dynasty could have more warriors like you, Gao Lan, how could we allow the Xianbei kid to cause trouble?"

"Because of your filial piety, I will accept you."

"It's just that you are weak now, and you have just joined us and have no achievements. You need to start from the lowest position, build up your strength, and accumulate achievements for promotion. What do you think?"

"I said, I only want to kill slaves, not for money or wealth." Gao Lan didn't care at all when he heard it, and immediately nodded excitedly and agreed.

"it is good!"

Lu Yi was also very happy to see this.

Gao Lan was the first official subordinate he recruited after coming to this world, in addition to Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others.

He is one of the four pillars of Hebei Province, comparable to Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang He.

Even though Gao Lan's ability could not reach the level of Lu Bu, he was at least as powerful as Gao Shun, and far stronger than Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and others under his command.

And what is more valuable is.

Gao Lan is different from Zhang He who has already joined his army. He has grown up now and does not need to wait for several years. As long as he takes care of his health, he can become a capable general.

He is a high-quality talent who can stand on his own.

Therefore, Lu Yi was very happy about his joining.

With Gaolan, I believe the current shortage of talent can be alleviated to some extent.

"If you are a warrior who wants to join me in killing the Hu people in Lvwu like Gao Lan, you can join me after completing the test!"

"However, one thing is one thing. Since you have joined my army, no matter what your purpose is, you must take the money and military pay you deserve!"

"Although I am poor, I will not embezzle a single cent of the military pay, nor drink a single drop of the soldiers' blood!"

"Master Lu, we are also willing to serve you."

"That's right, we don't want military pay, as long as we are given food, we are willing to kill the Hu for you!"

After hearing what Lu Yi said, many of the captives immediately wanted to follow Gao Lan's example and join Lu Wu.

Among them were old and young, and everyone harbored a deep hatred for the Xianbei people.

"I understand your feelings, but the most important thing now is to return to Luwu first."

"The Xianbei are rampant outside now. The news of Hu Tuo's defeat and death will soon reach the Xianbei people. By then, the Xianbei people will most likely send people to encircle and suppress us."

"Therefore, only by returning to Lvwu can we get safe shelter."

"Therefore, please cooperate with me now and bring back everything that the Hutuo tribe can take away to Luwu!"

Seeing that everyone's morale was high, Lu Yi nodded secretly, but he knew very well that now was not the time to use these prisoners.

Without screening and training, these people would not be able to go to the battlefield even if they had the desire to kill the Hu.

Even if you force yourself to go to the battlefield, you will only die in vain.
