When he arrived in Yiyang County, Lu Zhi was surprised when he saw the people's happiness and prosperity and life.

As soon as he entered the city gate, a squire came over and said, "General Li, the three bridges you built for Sanlitun have been completed. The other three canals irrigate the farmland from south to north. I believe there will be a good harvest in the coming year."

"It's so good. I wonder what the roads inside and outside the city wall are?" Li Hugo said.

The gentry said: "It has been paved. The villagers said that they would wait for General Li to come back and hold a ceremony to open the road. The road to the south is called Xiyu Road and the road to the north is called Nanguo Road. In this way, the descendants of Yiyang County will be able to remember the general's grace in the future!"

"You came to Yiyang County and did nothing, just build roads and channels?" Lu Zhi said in confusion.

Li Hugo said: "I live here, and it's the guest, and the villagers are all the masters. Since it's the guest who comes to the host's house, it's not good to eat and drink for free. Since there are people under my command, why not give benefits to the people and do something?"

"Oh..." Lu Zhining for a while, he knew it in his heart, and thought to himself whether he had misread Li Hugo before.

"To be honest, on the Empty Mountain, my brothers and I had to set up this mystery, otherwise we would all die under the court. These days, ants are still alive, let alone humans?" Li Hugo said.

"I only found out later that General Li killed Zhang Bao, and then borrowed Zhang Bao's armor to create such an empty camp plan. I wanted to fight for half my life, but in the end I was deceived by you, a kid. It's not unfair to lose, but unexpectedly, Wang Situ gave you an official position personally, which is a blessing." Lu Zhi said.

Li Hugo's eyes turned: "Sir, it's better to go to the humble house to talk first."

“That’s good.”

Lu Zhi came to the cottage, but was shocked by Li Hugo's simplicity. Unexpectedly, where Li Hugo was, it was so dilapidated that Lu Zhi couldn't believe it for a moment. At this time, Diao Chan and Yang Paifeng came out. Li Hugo said: "Daifeng, show the tea for sir!"

"Yes, General." Yang Paifeng said.

Li and Lu came to the front of a huge wooden stake, with a tree of logs as a table and a wooden stake as a chair. At this time, Lu Zhi was filled with mixed feelings. Unexpectedly, the young man who intercepted him before was a hero with such a kind heart. He has now become a county magistrate, but he still lives in such a dilapidated thatched cottage.

Li Hugo threw a few chicken bones to the old dog in the corner. The old dog was toothless and could not eat it. He held it in his mouth and kept sucking it, and his tail was shaking like a drum beat.

Li Hugo smiled and said, "I can't bite my bones anymore."

"It's good to eat bone marrow. This old dog eats more bone marrow and live longer." Lu Zhi said.

Li Hugo sighed: "Now that Dong thief is in the court, why don't he knock bones and suck marrow every day? If the Han Dynasty continues like this, I'm afraid...ah..."

He didn't say it out loud, but it had already resonated with Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi threw his sleeves and snorted angrily: "I see that those humeral ministers are all rats who are afraid of death."

"Teacher, please make the decision for the Han Dynasty and launch an army to fight against the thieves. Teacher, you are an old minister of the three dynasties. As long as the teacher responds, who dares to refuse to obey?" Li Yuguo clasped his fists and knelt on one knee.

When Lu Zhi heard this, his body was shocked and he held Li Yugo with both hands and said, "It's rare! Those princes and ministers are afraid of the power of Dong's thief. General Li is young, but he has the ambition to support the Han Dynasty, which really makes the princes in the world feel ashamed. However, this matter is of great importance, how can I control it alone?"

"Teacher is going to look for Yuan Shao on this trip?" Li Hugo said.

Lu Zhi was stunned and immediately said, "How do you know? Indeed, I am planning to look for Yuan Shao for help. I thought that Yuan An was the Situ during the reign of Emperor Zhang of Han, his son Yuan Chang was the Sikong, his grandson Yuan Tang was the Taiwei, his great-grandson Yuan Feng was the Sikong, and Yuan Wei was the Taifu. He held three thrones in four generations and was known as the Three Dukes of the Four Generations. Yuan Shao was famous and his family was the rise and fall of the princes in the world. I was thinking that if Yuan Shao helped him, how could he not succeed in fighting the thief?"

"The teacher is so bad. It is true that Yuan Shao's reputation is prominent, but if the teacher has gone there, the teacher has thought about whether he would obey the teacher? Yuan Shao is suspicious by nature, and the teacher comes from Luoyang. Even Yuan Shao may be wary of the teacher. Since there is a place, how can he agree with the teacher's great cause of support? Furthermore, Yuan Shao has many capable people, including Yan Liang and Weiqiu, and many advisers in literature, such as Xu You and Tian Feng, who are all deeply trusted by Yuan Shao. Have you ever thought about what if the teacher goes there?"

"What if?" Lu Zhi looked at Li Hugo.

Li Yuguo said: "Yes, if Yuan Shao neglects the teacher and follows other people's advice but does not obey the teacher, where is the teacher at that time? It is impossible to retreat, because Dong Zhuo will definitely not let the teacher go, and it is impossible to go. After all, Yuan Shao's advisers all have preconceived ideas. How can there be a place for the teacher to settle down?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhi sat on the wooden pier, his face bleak: "Indeed, I have thought about what you said, but I still hold hope in my heart. If it is true as you said, how can I start to support the Han Dynasty?"

"Yes, in a few days, why did the teacher take root here? The city wall of Yiyang County has been repaired. The people here are happy, the soldiers are strong, and they are deep in the heart of the Central Plains. They are located near Chang'an and Luoyang. If you fight, you can attack Luoyang Chang'an and retreat. There are terrain everywhere here. Moreover, our Yiyang County and Hongnong County gather for only twenty miles, looking after each other, forming a horn to protect each other, and happening to be the prefect of Hongnong County Zhang Ji is my brother-in-law and a relative." Li Hugo said.

Lu Zhi nodded: "At this point, General Li has some talent, but Dong Zhuo's troops are 200,000, and the Western Liang cavalry is invincible. If he really attacks the city in large numbers, how can this small town in Yiyang County resist it?"

"The teacher is right, but Dong Zhuo is not a fool and he will never dare to attack without authorization, because once he attacks, Luoyang's defense will be greatly damaged. How could the princes in the world let go of this opportunity to support the king and save the emperor and become an official?" Li Hugo said.

Lu Zhi was overjoyed: "Okay! I am worthy of being General Li. Listening to your words, I have benefited a lot. Since the general has the ambition to support the Han Dynasty, I am willing to cooperate with the general to discuss Dong's plan!"

"I have been fascinated by the teacher for a long time. The teacher is knowledgeable and skilled in military tactics, so I am not talented. How can I like to be a teacher?" How could Li Hugo miss this opportunity? Lu Zhi is famous in the court. If he has a relationship with him, then the fierce generals from all sides will flock to him when they know that Lu Zhi is here, and Li Hugo can also take the opportunity to recruit soldiers.
