The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 399 Lu Meng joins the army
Cheng Yu brought Lv Meng to the eunuch's mansion, and when the two came to the eunuch's mansion, Lu Meng looked up. Although he could not read, he had been to this place before. He looked at Cheng Yu in astonishment, and said, "You are in the eunuch's office. If you work in the government, could it be that you are serving under Li Yuan?"

"Hahahaha, a good man really has good eyesight. I am Cheng Yu, the prefect of Wu County, and my name is Zhongde. I was originally the prefect of Lujiang. After General Li captured Jiangdong, I was transferred here." Cheng Yu explained.

Lu Meng's expression was a little unnatural upon hearing this.Cheng Yu saw Lu Meng's uneasiness in his heart, and asked, "Does the hero have something to hide?"

"I was originally a general under Sun Ce's command, but my rank is not high."

"It turns out that you used to serve Sun Ce. No wonder you are so good. You don't have to panic. Even if you used to serve Sun Ce, I will not embarrass you. Let alone you helped me today. Now Sun Ce has been defeated by General Li, and the Sun family has also moved. To Xiapi, so I won't mind your identity." Cheng Yu reassured Lu Meng.

Lu Meng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As Sun Ce's former subordinate, he was worried that Cheng Yu would make things difficult for him. Now that Cheng Yu didn't care about him, he relaxed and followed Cheng Yu into the prefect's mansion.Cheng Yu ordered someone to arrange a banquet for Lv Meng, and after a while, the banquet was arranged, and Cheng Yu and Lv Meng attended the table together.

"Hero, today I was robbed of my baggage by thieves. Although you failed to recover it for me, it is a heroic act when you see injustice. I, Cheng Yu, admire such a person the most. I respect you for this cup." Cheng Yu filled a glass of wine and drank it down.

"Cheng Taishou is polite, you don't have to call me a good guy or a bad guy, my name is Lu Meng, I'm Zi Ming, I'm a rough man without education, don't mind me." Lu Meng also drank the wine in his glass, "Hahahaha , It really is good wine, I haven't drunk it for a long time!"

Cheng Yu knew from Lu Meng's tone of voice that the other party hadn't read any books. Of course, he didn't discriminate against Lu Meng, but was curious why Li Yuan asked him to supervise Lu Meng's reading. Besides, Lu Meng was already in his 20s, and had already passed the age of reading. It may be too late to work hard now, but he still followed Li Yuan's order to keep Lu Meng.

"Ziming, I think you are quite skilled, at least you could have been a captain. It's a waste of talent to be a general under Sun Ce's command. Now that Sun Ce has been defeated, I don't know if you still plan to join the army. ?" Cheng Yu began to lay out his own routine.

"Alas," Lv Meng sighed, "To be honest, I, Lv Meng, have no other abilities other than martial arts and strength. Although I want to continue to join the army, I have no connections and I don't know where to go."

Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "If you don't dislike me, I can recommend you to serve under General Li."

"Under General Li? Is it really possible?" Lu Meng was a little flattered. Li Yuan is now at the height of his power and is a well-known prince in the world. There are countless people who want to work for him. Lu Meng never thought that he would have the opportunity to work for Li Yuan .

"You can rest assured that as long as I personally recommend you, General Li will definitely use you." Cheng Yu suddenly thought that the best place to study in the world today is Lumen Academy in Xiapi. Since Li Yuan wants him to supervise Lu Meng's study, why not It's better to let Lu Meng go to Lumen Academy directly, which will save a lot of trouble.

"Prefect Cheng, I, Lu Meng, thank you first!" Lu Meng clasped his fists and said gratefully.

"You are welcome, Ziming. This is my repayment for your kindness today. I will write a document for you in a while. You can bring the document and go to the Governor's Mansion in Xiapi to find General Li." Cheng Yu said. After that, let the servants prepare the pen and ink.

The next day, Cheng Yu gave Lu Meng some traveling expenses and asked him to go to Xiapi.After saying goodbye to Cheng Yu, Lu Meng rushed to Xiapi.

More than half a month later, Lv Meng finally came to Xiapi, where the prosperity of Xiapi City was far better than that of Wu County. He looked around on the street and was curious about everything he saw, but he did not forget the most important thing. After asking the direction, I went to the Governor's Mansion.

Today Li Yuan is not in the Governor's Mansion, but is patrolling the barracks. After the battle with Sun Ce, Xiapi's soldiers and horses were damaged a lot, so they have to recruit soldiers for training. Today is the day of recruiting new soldiers, so they came to the barracks specially Patrol.

Lu Meng came to the governor's mansion and was about to go in, but the soldiers guarding the door stopped him and shouted: "This is the governor's mansion, where General Li handles government affairs, idlers are not allowed to enter."

"I'm just looking for General Li, please let me in."

"There are many people who want to find General Li. Who are you? What is your business in finding General Li?" The soldiers looked up and down Lu Meng, and saw that Lu Meng was dressed like a commoner. It is basically impossible for rich merchants or officials from other places to have people come, so he expressed doubts about Lu Meng's identity.

"I'm Lu Meng, from Fubei, Runan, and I'm here to join the army." Lu Meng explained his purpose.

"So you joined the army. I think you are quite strong, but you came to the wrong place. Soldiers are not recruited here. You should go to the barracks to register." The soldier remembered that recruits were being recruited these days, so he asked Lu Meng to go to the barracks Sign up.

"Sorry, I came to the wrong place," Lu Meng was about to leave, but he suddenly remembered that there was a document to be handed over to Li Yuan, so he took out the document and handed it to the soldier guarding the gate, "By the way, this is the document from Prefect Cheng. to General Lee."

"Cheng prefect, which Cheng prefect?" The soldier took the document and asked doubtfully.

"Wu Jun Cheng Yu Cheng Taishou."

"It turned out to be the prefect Cheng. You wait here for a moment, and I will take it in immediately." The soldier walked in with the paperwork.

At this time Li Yuan was not in the Governor's Mansion, but Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu were there. The soldier handed the documents to Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai glanced at the envelope, and the words on it were indeed written by Cheng Yu himself. He asked: "Who sent it?"

"It was sent by a commoner who came to join the army." The soldier replied.

"Sent by a commoner who came to join the army?" Xi Zhicai immediately sensed that something was wrong. It stands to reason that such an important document should be sent by a cronies, how could it be sent by a commoner, "You bring that commoner in .”

"It's a military division!" The soldier walked out.

After a while the soldiers brought Lv Meng in, Xi Zhi took a look and saw that Lv Meng was indeed dressed as a commoner, but with a strong body and piercing eyes, he could tell that he was not an ordinary commoner.

"Who is your last name? Cheng Yu asked you to come?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"That's right, Prefect Cheng asked me to come. My name is Lu Meng, and my name is Ziming. Which one of you is General Li? This document is to be handed over to him." Lu Meng looked at Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu. Everyone was dressed as a civil servant. Although he had never met Li Yuan, he knew that Li Yuan was a veteran general. No matter how he looked at the two people in front of him, he did not have such aura.
