I turned against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and I went crazy in the Three Kingdoms.

Wei Jian agreed to take charge of the iron mine, while Wang Ling agreed to help with water control.

Thinking of the military rations promised by Pei Qian of Wenxi City and the Jishan Pavilion he helped build.

It all went so well. The degree of cooperation of these aristocratic families is a bit too much.

So, in the evening, Lu Zhen took Xi Zhicai to bake pancakes over the bonfire while asking out the doubts in his heart.

"When I came to Hedong County, I was prepared to be ostracized and targeted by the family."

"But so far, although the Hedong clan has resisted, they have also helped a lot."

"In short, I think they are too nice, is there any conspiracy? Xi

Zhicai listened patiently to what he said. With a slight smile on his Qingjun face, he asked:

"General, have you ever thought that it is due to your personal charm? Lu

Zhen replied with a smile:

"Ah Cai, please stop teasing me. Personal charm? Maybe one or two people will fall in love, but their personal charm will not be supported by so many aristocratic families."

"I was born in the surrounding area, but it was through my relationship with Dong Zhuo that I took possession of Hedong County. It's impossible for them to agree with me."

The smile on Xi Zhicai's face became thicker because he admired Lu Zhen's self-awareness. What

Xi Zhicai was most afraid of was that Lu Zhen was young and energetic and thought he was invincible, thus lacking the caution to walk on thin ice.

In fact, no matter it was When competing for hegemony among princes, or when managing ministers in the court, one needs to be careful and consider all aspects.

Otherwise, there will be disaster.

Seeing Lu Zhen's stability, Xi Zhi felt relieved and explained:

"Because the generals are border residents and have no foundation except Dong Zhuo, they are not afraid of you becoming bigger at all, so they will help you as long as it is beneficial to the development of Hedong County."

They felt that in the end, these would be used as wedding clothes for the local aristocratic families.

The aristocratic families were very sure that it was their family that would control Hedong County in the end.

Lu Zhen suddenly realized, and said:

"So, they think they are hiring me to do something for them? Xi

Zhicai nodded helplessly:

"That's right"

"Although the general has troops, his money and food are provided by local noble families."

"Moreover, the local civil and political affairs were all controlled by the noble families."

So, they can cut off the military rations at any time and replace the Lu family and his son.

For example, the local family can make peace with other princes internally and externally to drive away the Lu army.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo has moved the capital and is likely to withdraw from Luoyang.

By then, Lu Zhen's army will be there Hedong County was isolated and helpless, and had to face attacks from Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.

At that time, if the noble families of Hedong County turned to Yuan Shao and others, the consequences would be self-evident.

And Lu Zhen also considered this situation.

Therefore, he stepped up construction. , Gaining the support of the people at the bottom is the foundation of military strength.

In addition, build a good relationship with the family for the time being, and only when your strength grows, can you have the ability to protect yourself.

Just like Cao Cao in history, he first needs to compromise and cooperate with the family, and when there is Only when you have sufficient strength can you make the decision.

Of course, Lu Zhen hopes that the Hedong clan can be used for his own use.

And this is also his original intention to develop in Hedong County.

Even if he cannot win over all the clans, it is good to win over a few aspiring talents.

Moreover , Xi Zhicai also said:

"I feel that not all noble families cannot be used by the general."

"Let's just say that Wei Qian, he must have been impressed by the general's charm."

"And Wang Ling also admired the general very much."

These two people are indeed good, but there are too few.

Therefore, Lu Zhen still needs to strengthen his connections with the local aristocratic families.

His papermaking and soap making should also be put on the agenda.

That night, Xi Zhicai also planned to stay by the river On-site guidance on water control, but was forcibly taken away by Lu Zhen.

After placing Xi Zhicai in the side courtyard, Lu Zhen emphasized:

"You take good care of your body first, otherwise everything will be in vain."

Xi Zhicai was helpless and moved. After all, it was true that he was in poor health.

Xi Zhicai regretted: Why didn't he take care of his body so much before!?

Now he urgently needs to have a good body so that he can follow the general in the expedition. The world is like a tiger that has devoured thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

After Lu Zhen returned to his residence, he saw the lights in the room. When he entered the door, he saw Diao Chan copying books on the desk.

Seeing Lu Zhen come back, Diao Chan stood up happily and pointed to the books piled beside the desk. road:

"These are the books sent by Mr. Wei. There are more than three hundred books. Lu

Zhen was overjoyed, but seeing Diao Chan rubbing her wrists and her eyes turning red, he feigned anger and said:

"Damn Wei Qian, sending so many books has exhausted my Diao Chan. I’m not done with him."

Diao Chan rolled her eyes at him with a charming look, showing her charm.

Lu Zhen saw that the evil fire was rising, so he picked up Diao Chan and walked inside.

In fact, Diao Chan was a little scared and really couldn't bear it. But he thought that in a few days, he would no longer be able to bear it. It's good for him, so let him taste it first.

After a few days of spring night, Lu Zhen fell asleep with a satisfied look on his face.

But Diao Chan couldn't sleep anymore. She got up and returned to the table, looking at the three books that Si Qi helped copy. Sixteen poems.

This is what my husband wrote for me.

She thought to herself, it was extremely sweet.

At this time, the sound of crickets suddenly came from outside the house.

Diao Chan's expression did not change. When she turned around and saw that Lu Zhen was still sleeping, she quietly put on her clothes The clothes came out.

There was an old servant in the corner of the yard, looking at Diao Chan with a stern look. When he saw her coming out, the other servant said sinisterly:

"Tomorrow and night, I will go to Lu Bu's study, and others will be arranged by myself."

Diao Chan's face became cold and stern, and she said in a deep voice:

"I've already said I won't do anything for you anymore"

"I also advise you to stop and retreat now, otherwise I will report you tomorrow."

The old servant was unmoved and even stepped forward to threaten him. However, he was stunned for a moment because he saw a tall figure appearing behind Diao Chan.
