“It wasn’t particularly smooth.”

"Zhang Yang doesn't want to be the governor of Hedong. He wants to be the governor of Shangdang."

"I thought that since both sides were prefects, I agreed first."

"Otherwise, it will take another half a month to go back and forth."

The smile on Lu Bu's face froze, and then he explained what had happened.

"Going to the party?"

Xun Yu frowned and looked at Dong Yu.

"Is there something wrong?"

Lu Bu didn't quite understand and asked in surprise.

In his opinion, they are all counties, it doesn't matter where you go.

And Shangdang is not their territory yet. Wouldn't it be great to get something for nothing?

However, in the eyes of people with good strategic vision such as Dong Yu and Xun Yu, this is a bit problematic.

Shangdang County is separated from Henei by a mountain.

If Zhang Yang wavered when they went to war with Yuan Shao, it would undoubtedly be a threat to the food supply.

It is not impossible that your life will be taken at the critical moment.

"Brother agreed?"

Dong Yu looked at Lu Bu with a smile and asked.

"Uh... shouldn't I agree?"

Lu Bu was a little panicked. Could it be that his good intentions had led to bad results?

"My lord, if that's the case, we can only send troops to guard Tianjing Pass to prevent any accidents."

Xun Yu knew that it was difficult to change what he had promised, so he immediately came up with a remedy.

Tianjing Pass is located between the Taihang Mountains and is the only way from Shangdang to Hanoi.

It doesn't take many men to guard this pass. This pass is so dangerous that a thousand men can defeat ten thousand troops!

"That's all we have to do."

"Brother, you're the one who exposed this matter. The selection and manpower to guard the pass..."

Dong Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Bu.

It’s not that he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Lu Bu or weaken Lu Bu’s military power.

But there are not enough people.

We can't waste such a great talent just for a Tianjingguan, right?

“That… works!”

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and agreed.

After the military meeting, Qiao Rui did not leave in a hurry.

Seeing the other party stay, Dong Yu also remembered that he still had something to do.

"Lord."

"The matter between this general and the families of my subordinates..."

"It's mainly because the soldiers under my command are anxious, and I really can't refuse."

Qiao Rui bowed his hands, a conflicted look on his face.

His situation under Dong Yu was actually very embarrassing.

His identity as a surrendered general often caused him to be looked down upon.

Especially people like Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, who don’t have particularly good personalities.

And it's not just everyday life that's being marginalized, it's also being marginalized at work.

He could not get any good jobs that would allow him to make meritorious contributions, and when he was guarding Hulao Pass, he was controlled by Wen Pin as a deputy general.

Later, he was transferred back to participate in farming.

It can be said that there is no good work to do, but there is a lot of dirty and tiring work.

He can endure all this, and he is lucky to be alive.

The most important thing is his family. Now his family is the only thing he cares about.

"Don't worry, General Qiao, I will handle this matter as soon as possible."

Dong Yu calmed down a little and began to think about who to send to negotiate with Yuan Shu.

Dong Yu must definitely take care of Qiao Rui's matter.

Firstly, it is to show the world that we value talents.

Even if they were surrendered generals, he, as their lord, would do his best to help them redeem their families.

Secondly, it was also for the troops under Qiao Rui's command.

With a troupe of nearly a thousand people, the number of their family members must be quite large.

Assuming that there are five or six people in one household, their families together would number about five or six thousand people.

Besides, Dong Yu doesn't have to pay any price to get these people back.

After all, Yuan Shu's son-in-law is still in his hands.

The only thing that made Dong Yu depressed was that he had not decided on the candidate for the diplomatic mission.

There are only a few scholars around me, and they are all extremely talented.

He is really worried.

If one of them dies, he will have no place to cry.

"Lord!"

"Haha, my lord!"

Just when Dong Yu was hesitating, Xun You came over with a smile.

Following behind him was an acquaintance, Du Xi.

Last winter, Du Xi moved to Chang'an with his clan.

With Dong Yu's token, Du Xi easily settled his clansmen.
