My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 220: Second Son

In the afternoon ten days later.

In the training ground set up in Luwu, 1,500 strong and healthy soldiers were training hard under the unified command of Gao Shun.

Among these people were Lu Yi's own 800-man Xianzhen Camp team.

The vacancies have already been filled by Gao Shun who selected suitable people from Luwu.

The other 700 men were Lü Bu's 500 regular Han soldiers, as well as Zhang Xun and his 200 heroes from the Zhang family, who had heard Lü Yi's order and were here in response to the order.

These 1,500 people have been gathered for several days.

After Gao Shun's unified dispatch and training, both the battle formation and military orders have been basically completed.

The 500 soldiers brought by Lu Bu were not only regular Han troops, but also the strongest first-tier Bingzhou border troops among the Han troops.

The border troops are not like the county and prefecture troops in the core areas of the Han Dynasty. They are in dangerous positions where they may face attacks from the Hu people every day.

Not only do they have to maintain strict training on a normal basis, but ever since Lu Yi secretly sidelined Huang Yi, Lu Bu, who had obtained Lu Yi's supplies and money, had implemented even more rigorous training on these soldiers. They were already a number of elite soldiers, and after they adapted to the peculiarities of armored cavalry, they were fully capable of attacking.

The 200 private soldiers under Zhang Xun were also Zhang's most elite fighters. Especially in the past six months under the threat of the Xianbei people, they had improved almost every day and were barely capable of fighting in armored cavalry.

Moreover, both the 500 Han troops brought by Lu Bu and the 200 private soldiers of the Zhang family brought by Zhang Xun had suffered from the bullying and threats of the Xianbei people in the past six months.

Therefore, they had been holding their breath for a long time. Now, when they heard that Lu Yi was going to lead them to take the initiative to fight the Xianbei people, they were not afraid at all. Instead, everyone was eager to try and trained even more actively.

Lu Yi sat high on the stands, looking serious as he kept paying attention to the soldiers in training.

But in fact, his heart had already drifted to the inner house of the master's mansion.

The midwife was indeed experienced and actually predicted the due dates of his two wives very accurately, so his money was not wasted.

It’s just that Zhang Wan’er and Qiqige seemed to have agreed on it and both gave birth on the same day. Today was the day when Lu Yi’s two children of unknown gender were born.

Because Lu Yi had to set an example at this special moment, it was not easy for him to leave his post and leave the army to go and take care of the girl.

Firstly, he has no experience and can't help much, and may even make things worse.

Secondly, the current period is extremely critical, and no one knows when the Han-Xian War will begin. If he misses the birth of the child, he will only be blamed by the two ladies for a while. However, if he misses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the Han-Xian decisive battle, it will have a great impact on Lu Yi's growth.

In these troubled times, how could Lu Yi, a man with lofty heroic ambitions, be swayed by personal feelings?

Even if he was willing to do so, how would people like Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, and Zhang Xun, who had placed their entire fortunes in their hands, view Lu Yi?
As a leader, you must have the awareness of a leader!
The previous lesson of Yuan Shao abandoning the army and the opportunity to fight for the safety of a mere child is still fresh in people's minds. The more critical the moment is, the more Lu Yi must highlight his personality and show the wisdom of the ruler.

"Today's training is over!"

"All troops disbanded, everyone rest!"

Finally, when the sun sets in the west and dusk gradually rises.

Gao Shun, who always had a poker face, finally finished the day's training.

Lu Yi finally waited until the end of his performance, then he nodded to Gao Shun and others, and walked towards the patriarch's mansion without hurry.

The news that Lu Yi's two wives were about to give birth had long been known to everyone in Luwu City. Gao Shun, Lu Bu and others naturally knew what Lu Yi was going to do, so they all hurriedly followed with a nervous look on their faces.

Behind them were 1,500 armored knights who had just finished a day of training.

As they watched Lu Yi leave, they all started to discuss. "I heard that today is the day that Lu Tingzhang's two wives are giving birth, but Lu Tingzhang has been sitting on the stand. If you don't know, you might think that the women who are going to give birth are from other families!"

"What do you know? Lü Tingzhang is the most outstanding hero in Bingzhou. Ten days ago, he used the tiny Jiuyuanting and two or three thousand local warriors to kill the 10,000-man army led by the Xianbei general Hu Tuo. The old villain Hu Tuo was killed by Lü Tingzhang himself, which greatly boosted the prestige of our Han army. Not only does the whole of Hebei now regard Lü Tingzhang as the most outstanding hero in Hebei, but even the three commanders Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song have heard of Lü Tingzhang's name. Such a hero is naturally not an ordinary person."

“Hehe, what you are teaching me is that if I were a small figure like you, then Chief Lu Ting would not have been able to defeat Hu Tuo so easily and achieve such a great achievement.”

"Alas... it's just that the Hu people are cunning. The body and head of Hu Tuo were stolen by one of their grooms during the chaos and returned to the Xianbei camp. It seems that he was rewarded handsomely by the Xianbei bandit chief. Otherwise, just relying on this beast's head and such a great achievement, Lü Tingzhang would have been able to be appointed as a prefect or a colonel with a salary of 2,000 stones, and maybe even a marquisate..."

It is human nature to gossip.

These soldiers have been training hard for days and now they finally have a chance to rest and relax.

Getting together and talking about the glorious deeds of their leader is a rare pastime for them.

Lu Yi was unaware of the soldiers' discussions.

His thoughts are now entirely on his two unborn children.

"How is it? Did the lady give birth?"

As soon as Lu Yi entered the inner hall, he saw the midwife who was just coming outside to pour a basin of water, so he immediately grabbed her arm and asked.

"Hey, Master, please let go of my hand first, or you're going to break it!"

Because Lu Yi was too excited and lost control of her strength, she almost broke the midwife's old arms and legs.

After coming to his senses, Lu Yi quickly let go of his hands somewhat embarrassedly.

"My Lord, both ladies are in a critical moment right now. I'm sorry I can't stay here for long."

After the midwife was freed, she immediately returned to the delivery room without looking back, making Lu Yi outside so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Brother, the two sisters-in-law are blessed by heaven and will surely be able to turn danger into safety!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Bu hurried forward to comfort him.

"That's right, brother-in-law, just sit back and relax. You're making me nervous by moving around like this."

Zhang Xun also advised.

"Huh? Feelings aren't like your wife giving birth to a child!"

When Lu Yi heard this, his eyes widened, then he came to his senses and cursed at the careless Zhang Xun again.

"Don't forget, one of the people lying inside is your own sister!"

Just when Lu Yi wanted to scold Zhang Xun a few more times to vent his tension.

Sudden.

The two loud cries of babies, one after the other, made Lu Yi stunned on the spot.

"I have a successor...!?"
