Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 361 The Beauty of the Zhen Family
In addition to the governor and military commander, each state is also equipped with a Flying Eagle Team, which not only transmits information but also performs monitoring functions. However, due to lack of manpower, the monitoring function has not yet been activated.
This appointment of officials can only satisfy the vast majority of people, but it is impossible to take everyone into consideration, and internal struggles for power and profit are bound to exist. However, Zhang Mo is not Yuan Shao. As a person who has experienced history, she knows these people's natures very well, whether they are loyal or treacherous, and whether they are working for the public or for personal gain. She also has a relatively clear strategic route plan in her mind, so she will not be misled by slander and make foolish decisions.
Jia Xu and Tian Feng, who were in the central government, were people Zhang Mo trusted. Even if someone wanted to make trouble, it would not cause any big trouble.
Except for Qu Yi, who was not Lu Bu's confidant, the other army commanders were absolutely trustworthy. Even if there were any rebellions before the battle, at most it would be the individual captains under their command, which would not affect the overall situation.
The reason why Qu Yi sent Xu Shu to be his military advisor was, firstly, because he was afraid that he would be set up and ambushed again like last time in Jinyang, so he sent someone to serve as his advisor, and secondly, to supervise him.
In fact, although Qu Yi is a little arrogant, he is not a villain, nor is he a fence-sitter. What he pursues is just glory. Now he is in charge of the military affairs of Jizhou. This honor is high enough. Unless he is stupid, he will not betray.
Of course, in order to prevent him from really going crazy, in addition to Xu Shu, the military advisor, Zhang Mo also considered the candidates for the commanderies of various counties and kingdoms in Jizhou. Among them, Han Hao, who had made great contributions in the expedition to Jizhou, was sent to serve as the commandery of Wei County, with 6,000 soldiers stationed in Wei County. Xu Huang was transferred to be the commandery of Julu, with 4,000 soldiers, Gao Lan was the commandery of Zhongshan, with 4,000 soldiers, Qian Zhao was the commandery of Changshan, with 3,000 soldiers, Wei Xu was the commandery of Zhao, with 3,000 soldiers, and Qu Yi led another 10,000 soldiers, for a total of 30,000 soldiers stationed in Jizhou.
Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan was transferred to serve under Taishi Ci, Zhang He was transferred to serve under Gao Shun, Lu Bu's fellow villager Zhang Yang was transferred to serve under Zhang Liao, and the others were also assigned to various military regions, either as a captain or as a Sima under the captain.
The commanders of each military region manage the military affairs of their region in their spare time, and accept orders from the Tang Palace in wartime, either to support a certain army or to fight jointly, and all follow the arrangements from above.
After all the complicated affairs in Jizhou were arranged, Zhang Mo finally had time to summon Zhen Yan, the current head of the Zhen family, who had sent a visiting card a few days ago.
The Zhen family seemed to be a merchant family, and their ancestors had produced high-ranking officials such as the Grand Marshal, the Jingzhao Yin, and the Guanglu Xun. Otherwise, as a mere merchant, no matter how rich Yuan Shao was, it would be impossible for him to marry his daughter.
As for the reason why Zhen Yan was so anxious to come and pay a visit, it was naturally because of the Zhen family's business in Jizhou.
Wang Ding made such a big fuss in Jizhou's linen textile industry. As the business boss of Jizhou, the Zhen family could not help but investigate his background. After the investigation, they found out that his background was even stronger than their own. He was from the Wang family of Taiyuan, Lu Bu's uncle, and his sister was the actual head of Bingzhou.
Originally backed by Yuan Shao, although Zhen Yan was a little afraid of Wang Ding's identity, he did not regard him as an opponent. However, now the boss of Jizhou has been replaced by Wang Ding's brother-in-law, and coupled with the other party's impressive economic strength and means, it should not be a problem for him to squeeze out his own business and replace the Zhen family's position in Jizhou.
Therefore, Zhen Yan came in a hurry to build relationships and show his loyalty.
The natural way to show loyalty is to transfer the benefits originally promised to Yuan Shao to Lu Bu. As for building relationships, it is nothing more than getting married.
Zhen Yan has five younger sisters, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers. Three of them are married, leaving Zhen Rong and Zhen Mi as the only ones still unmarried. Zhen Rong is sixteen years old this year, which means she is already of marriageable age, while Zhen Mi is only twelve years old, four years younger than Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi. Originally, according to age, Zhen Rong and Yuan Xi are the same age, so it would be more appropriate for them to get married. However, when Zhen Mi was young, a fortune teller read her fortune and said that she would be extremely noble in the future.
To become a noble, one naturally had to marry someone in power, so Zhen Yan skipped Zhen Rong and promised his youngest and most beautiful sister to Yuan Xi. However, when the marriage was being discussed, Lu Bu's army arrived, so the marriage naturally failed. Zhen Yan then turned his attention to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is a little older and his family background is far inferior to that of the Yuan family, but he is the most powerful prince in the world now. If he wants to conquer the world in the future, Zhen Mi will at least be a concubine. Moreover, in Zhen Yan's view, although the girl from the Wang family is beautiful, she is older than his younger sister after all. After seven or eight years, his younger sister will be in her prime, but the girl from the Wang family will be old and ugly. It is not impossible for the Zhen family to make her their legal wife.
After hearing Zhen Yan's intentions, Zhang Mo happily accepted the Zhen family's 30% share of the tribute, but threw Zhen Mi's question to Lu Bu, saying, "As for taking a concubine, you can ask my husband later. If he agrees, I have no objection."
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, she asked someone to invite Lu Bu to come over.
Seeing Zhang Mo's generosity, Zhen Yan couldn't help but be delighted. Although his little sister was only twelve years old, she was already a stunning beauty, on par with Madam Lu. What man wouldn't be moved by her? He quickly sent for the waiting sister to come in.
Zhen Mi walked in slowly accompanied by a maid. Zhang Mo looked at the heroine in Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River" curiously. She had an oval face, delicate features, fair and flawless skin, and big almond-shaped eyes that were clear and lively, which were quite similar to her own eyes. However, she was still young and had a flat figure. If she grew up another two or three years, she would definitely be a heartthrob.
After Zhen Mi paid her respects, she secretly looked up at Zhang Mo. She was very beautiful and kind, and seemed like someone who was easy to get along with.
Zhen Mi was extremely resistant to her brother's plan to marry her off to a thirty-something man as a concubine. However, she also knew that a daughter was just a tool for family marriages, and no matter how much she resisted, she would have to marry in the end. Fortunately, her brother said that Lu Bu was extremely handsome and considerate and gentle to women, and she felt a little better.
The three of them sat and drank tea for a while, and Zhang Mo chatted with Zhen Yan about some business matters. Lu Bu came over after finishing his work in front. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife staring at him with a smile.
Lu Bu suddenly felt a chill on his back, and looked at the other two people in the hall, and suddenly understood something.
Zhen Yan and Zhen Mi came forward to pay their respects. Zhang Mo said with a smile, "My dear, the Zhen family wants to form an alliance with your Lu family. What do you think of this little girl? Is she suitable? If so, I will marry her to you!"
Lu Bu felt a chill running down his back to the back of his neck, and his scalp went numb. He glanced at Zhen Mi and said, "She's too young! She could be my daughter. No way!"
Zhen Yan's face froze, and he said hurriedly, "You can settle it first, and it won't be too late to marry her in two years!"
"Marry her?" Lu Bu's eyes were slightly cold. The Zhen family was quite ambitious and even wanted to replace Amo's position?
Zhen Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"
Lu Bu sat down next to Amo and said bluntly, "I am not interested in other women. Instead of sending me a girl, it would be better for you to send more money to my wife."
Zhen Yan's smile froze completely, his lower lip moved, and he didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Zhang Mo coughed lightly and came out to smooth things over. "I heard that the Zhen family has a fourth daughter who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also quite good-looking. It's the so-called strong alliance. Mr. Zhen wants to marry, and I actually want to too."
Hearing this, Zhen Yan felt happy. It was really comfortable to talk to cultured people!
Lu Bu frowned. What was A-Mo trying to do? Was she really going to take him a concubine?
