My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 223 Father's Love is Like a Landslide (4K)

"May I know your Shangguan's name?" Seeing that Zhang Xun seemed to be stunned by the scolding from the visitor, Lu Yi frowned and walked forward to ask in a proper manner.

"Hehe, listen to me carefully. I am Zhu Fu, the vanguard general under the commander of the left wing of the Han army. By the way, my father is the commander!"

"You dandy..." Lu Bu was furious upon seeing this. He was now also a military Sima, only one level lower than Zhu Fu. Moreover, when he got angry, he was fearless and didn't care whose son Zhu Fu was. Even if Zhu Jun dared to humiliate him and his brother in person, Lu Bu would teach him a lesson!
However, Lu Bu, who was about to go berserk, was easily stopped by Lu Yi who grabbed his sleeve. Seeing his brother shaking his head slightly at him, Lu Bu was unwilling to disobey his brother even though he was angry, so he snorted coldly and turned his head away.

"It turns out to be the young marshal in person!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately understood his identity and pretended to be frightened and offered a flattering gesture.

Although Zhu Fu was also recorded in history, he was a negative example compared to his father Zhu Jun, who had a good reputation.

Historically, as the governor of Jiaozhou, he could have used the land of Jiaozhou and the opportunity to stay away from the conflicts in the Central Plains to emulate the later Shi Xie and his son to achieve hegemony.

However, due to his violent character and bullying of the common people, he accumulated resentment among the people of Jiaozhou and finally met a tragic end where he was killed by the barbarians.

In his previous life, when Lu Yi saw Zhu Fu's records, he felt regretful that he had played a good hand badly.

But now when I faced him, I suddenly felt disgusted with him.

"Well, you are quite good at talking. Who is behind Zhang Xunru?" The word "Young Marshal" from Lu Yi made Zhu Fu feel slightly proud, and his anger dissipated a little.

"This warrior is my brother-in-law, and he is now the head of Jiuyuan Pavilion."

Zhang Xun also looked displeased, but Zhu Fu, as a captain of a battalion, had a higher rank than a county magistrate, and he was also Zhu Jun's son.

Therefore, he did not dare to get angry, but just introduced himself to Zhu Fu in a heavy voice.

"Oh!"

"Are you the warrior who killed the Xianbei general with a thousand old and weak villagers and beheaded tens of thousands of people?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu finally showed an expression other than arrogance on his face.

He looked at Lu Yi with a look of three parts doubt and seven parts teasing on his face, and said sarcastically.

"I don't deserve to be called a warrior, but my achievements and gains are real. Not only can the thousands of people in Jiuyuan Pavilion testify for me, but the heads of nearly ten thousand Xianbei people are also stored in Jiuyuan Pavilion. If you don't believe me, you can go and check it yourself. I will definitely welcome you!"

Lu Yi was gentle but strong, and her answer was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Zhu Fu feel even more unhappy because he had no handle to attack her.

Zhu Fu was confident that he had inherited 70% of Zhu Jun's teachings. Even if the combat power of the British soldiers he led was not the best in the Han Dynasty, they would at least be one of the elite few.

He judged others by his own standards, and because of his arrogant personality, he looked down on Lu Yi and his gang of country bumpkins and never took Lu Yi and their reports of merit seriously.

"Humph! The Han-Xian war is in full swing right now. As a vanguard, how can I have the time to go to your remote and barren land?"

"Considering that a major war is imminent and we need our men now, I will be merciful and not take your false reporting of military achievements into account."

"I'm telling you, my father is a strict commander of the army, but he's not as easy to talk to as me. If you know what's good for you, hurry back to Jiuyuan and prepare for war. Losing a city is a capital crime. If the Xianbei take advantage of the opportunity to attack Jiuyuan, be careful that your heads will be in danger!"

Having said that, Zhu Fu arrogantly led his men back to the camp without waiting for a response from Lu Yi and the others, and finally issued an order to leave within a certain period of time.

"If they don't leave the camp within a quarter of an hour, we will beat them out. Don't let the strangers interfere with my deployment of troops."

"You...!" Lu Bu, who had been suppressing his anger, almost drew his sword and beheaded this arrogant man on the spot.

"Fengxian, wait a minute! If I am not welcome here, I will find another place to stay! Why bother with such a person?" Although Lu Yi also had a cold expression on his face, he was not blinded by anger.

He wisely stopped his brother who was about to go berserk and advised him in a calm tone.

Regardless of whether it was a serious crime punishable by death and confiscation of property, beheading the son of the commander-in-chief of the Han army in front of the commander-in-chief's military camp, not to mention that the commander-in-chief was a captain appointed by the imperial court.

Although he and his companions could rely on their overflowing martial virtues to fight their way out of the encirclement, Lu Wu, who was in Jiuyuan, could not move.

If Zhu Jun came with a large army, the small Luwu would not be able to stop the strongest Han army in the world, which had been involved in the siege for thousands of years.

"Should I let my elder brother be humiliated by such a person for no reason?" What made Lu Bu most angry was not that Zhu Fu humiliated him, but that he looked down on his brother.

To him, bullying his brother was far more hateful than bullying himself.

"how is this possible?"

Lu Yi sneered when he heard this.

"Our military achievements are real. After we verify the military achievements in the future, we can report them to the court."

"Verifying military achievements is an important responsibility of the Han army. This man is so arrogant that he ignores our achievements. This is already a serious crime!"

"Humph, let this arrogant fellow continue to be arrogant for a few more days!"

After hearing Lu Yi's explanation, Lu Bu snorted angrily at Zhu Fu's departing back, and only then did he calm down.

"Alas... the left Han army is now blocking us from entering, Sixiao, but where should we go now?"

Seeing that the originally good situation turned into this because of the interference of an arrogant person, Zhang Xun couldn't help but sigh and asked Lu Yi.

"Um……"

Lu Yi pondered for a moment and immediately came up with an idea.

"The commander of the Central Division, Lu Zhi, has a history with our Master. If we can at least tell you our Master's name, we can at least meet him. Let's go and join him!"

"I will listen to my elder brother (Sixiao) in everything..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu and Zhang Xun looked at each other and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Time is running out. We can't waste precious time here. We have to set off overnight!"

Lu Yi immediately led everyone to hurriedly leave Zhu Jun's camp.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"I have important military information and need to see the commander-in-chief immediately!"

But as they were leaving, a cavalryman with a look of urgency on his face suddenly passed by them. After getting off his horse, he quickly showed his badge to the guard at the camp gate, and then rushed towards Zhu Jun's central army camp without looking back.

"Oh? Is there any important military information?"

"If Zhu Fu hadn't been obstructing me, I might have been able to offer some advice."

"Pity……"

When Lu Yi left, Mi looked back with a little confusion, then led Lu Bu, Zhang Xun and others away with a little regret.

Although he had evil intentions and was plotting to obtain the divine weapon.

However, when it comes to the rise and fall of a country and ethnic hatred, there are still principles.

In a word.

Dynasties can be replaced, but nations cannot be exterminated!
The cavalryman came to Zhu Jun's tent and saw Zhu Fu there and immediately reported to him.

"General Zhu, we have urgent military information that needs to be reported in person by the commander-in-chief. Please report it on my behalf!"

"Oh! Urgent military information that requires personal communication from father?"

Zhu Fu could become a captain of a battalion so he could naturally distinguish priorities. He immediately stepped forward, took the sealed military intelligence document, and hurried into the central army tent.

If Lu Yi's battle record had not been so exaggerated, he would not have been angry with Lu Yi.

"Father, wake up!"

The military intelligence in his hand was genuine, so Zhu Fu did not care about disturbing his father Zhu Jun's rest. He immediately came to Zhu Jun's bed and gently pushed him a few times to wake him up. "I've told you several times that there is no father-son relationship in the army. You have to address me by my military title!"

Zhu Jun was already in a bad mood after being woken up. When he saw that his eldest son was acting stubborn again, he became furious and started scolding Zhu Fu.

Zhu Jun had the most stubborn temper among the three Han army commanders. He did not show any leniency towards Zhu Fu just because he was his son. Instead, he was even more strict with him.

This allowed him to hone his talents, but it also contributed to his arrogant and conceited personality.

"There are no outsiders here now, so why should Father be so serious?"

Zhu Fu is now the commander of a battalion and he has to maintain some dignity, so he complained inwardly.

"What! You dare to talk back?"

"Could it be that you are taking advantage of my military law?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jun flew into a rage and immediately slammed the couch and stood up.

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Commander!"

When Zhu Fu saw that Zhu Jun was really angry, he immediately knelt on one knee and begged for mercy.

He knew that if Zhu Jun was really angry, he would definitely dare to kill his own son in order to rectify the military law and military morale!

"Hmm...what's the matter that disturbed me?"

After seeing Zhu Fu realize his mistake, Zhu Jun snorted coldly and asked indifferently.

"Just now there was an urgent military intelligence letter outside the tent, and I came here specially to present it to the commander-in-chief!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu immediately raised his hands and presented the secret letter he had just received from the cavalry.

"Oh!"

"Since there is urgent military information, why don't you disclose it earlier? If you miss the opportunity to fight, I will hold you accountable!"

Zhu Jun was shocked when he heard this and immediately snatched the military intelligence from Zhu Fu.

He destroyed the sealing wax on the secret letter, quickly took out the letter paper, shook it twice to unfold it, and then checked it up and down with a serious face.

"Hahahaha...it turns out to be good news!"

But before Zhu Jun could take two looks, his expression suddenly turned from gloomy to bright and he burst into laughter.

"Father, what good news has made you so happy? Could you please tell me?"

Zhu Fu couldn't help but smile when he saw the good news, and asked quickly.

"Commander-in-chief, I have said the wrong thing again..."

But as soon as he said this, he realized that he had violated Zhu Jun's military regulations again, and quickly changed his words.

"See for yourself!"

But Zhu Jun was in high spirits now, so he just glared at Zhu Fu and then passed the good news in his hand to Zhu Fu.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Zhu Fu was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately took the letter with the good news and started to look at it.

But unlike Zhu Jun, Zhu Fu not only did not smile, but his face turned paler as he continued to read.

Until he finished reading the last word without giving up, his face not only turned pale, but also his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Even the letter in his hand seemed to have a thousand pounds of weight, falling from his hands that were strong enough to crush the enemy's neck with bare hands.

"What they said is actually true!"

"It's over!"

Unlike Zhu Fu's deathly pale face, his father Zhu Jun, who had his back to him, appeared to be in high spirits.

"Hahaha, the hidden trick I planted among the Xianbei people really worked. The general Hutuo of Budugen, the leader of the Western Xianbei bandits, has led 10,000 people to roam around Bingzhou for the past six months, raping and looting countless people, but no one can stop them. This beast is extremely cunning. I have taken the initiative to attack him several times, but he always fled in advance when he saw the situation was not good. I didn't expect that he would suffer a big setback in the small Jiuyuan County in the end!"

"Not only did he die, but his Hutuo tribe was also crippled. They were destroyed in a battle led by a small and unknown village headman from Jiuyuan and the villagers!"

"I never thought that there is such an outstanding general in our Han Dynasty. His military skills are not inferior to mine. If he can be used by me, I will recommend his military achievements to the court and ask the emperor to reward him with a lieutenant or county governor!"

Zhu Jun and Budugen have been fighting for half a year, with both sides winning and losing.

It's not like he had never won a battle in which he killed or wounded tens of thousands of Xianbei people.

However, he led an elite Han army, and his losses were huge each time.

If they could recruit a talent like Lu Yi and entrust him with important tasks, they would be able to cause greater damage to the Xianbei.

Therefore, Zhu Jun immediately developed an infinite liking and admiration for this little pavilion chief.

"I really don't know where this little Jiuyuan Pavilion Chief came from, and what his name is?"

But the more Zhu Jun admired Lu Yi, the colder Zhu Fu behind him became.

As one of the three commanders of the Han army, the source of the intelligence in Zhu Jun's hands must be true.

Then, the military achievements reported by Lu Yi and his group just now must be true.

And the humiliation and obstruction that I had just inflicted on them now seemed to be true.

Such a great achievement will surely be reported to the emperor in the future. It seems that I cannot escape the responsibility of failing to notice and obstruct it!

"Fu'er, why are you so pale? Are you ill?"

Zhu Jun suddenly noticed something strange behind him. He turned around and was shocked by Zhu Fu's pale face. He immediately asked with concern.

"Father……"

"My son is guilty...!"

Zhu Fu dared not hide anything anymore, and immediately fell to his knees in front of Zhu Jun and told him everything that had happened.

"What? That captain's name is Lu Yi? He came to report his achievements just now, but you insulted him and kicked him out of the camp?"

After Zhu Jun heard what had happened, he almost fell to the ground as if he couldn't catch his breath.

This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If Lu Yi continued to make trouble and reported it to the court through Zhang Xun, even he would be punished by the emperor.

What made Zhu Jun even more angry was that a loyal and righteous man came to report his achievements but was insulted and stopped by his own son. If this were to be spread out, wouldn't the world think that he was jealous of talented people and narrow-minded?
"How could I raise such a rebellious son like you!"

Zhu Jun was furious and slapped Zhu Fu in the face, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

"The man hasn't gone far yet, so why don't you bring back the warrior who killed Huto?"

"Yes……!"

Zhu Fu ignored the severe pain on his face and could only hurriedly get up and rush out of the tent.

But a small mistake can lead to a big mistake. Lu Yi had already gone far away. Zhu Fu just realized it now, but it was too late...
