Chapter 65: Frank Talk, the Decline of the Han Army
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Bu didn't know what Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty thought in his heart, so when Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty gave an order, he took advantage of the situation to thank him and stand up.
Lu Bu, who grew up under the red flag, seems to have no resistance to his parents, even if he is as noble as the Han Emperor Liu Hong, there is more or less resistance in his heart.
"Give a seat." Looking at His Royal Highness Lu Bu, Han Emperor Liu Hong, who was leaning on the dragon chair, with a smile on his face, ordered to the eunuch on the side.
The eunuch who was waiting on the side, after hearing the order of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, immediately took a futon, and after placing it in a suitable position, he led the tall Lu Bu to take a seat, of course, in this process, the eunuch also felt a deep pressure, after all, for Lu Bu who came down from the battlefield just now, although he deliberately collected the momentum on his body, but even so, it was not a little eunuch who had lived in the Han Palace for a long time, and his heart could bear it.
This kneeling is really uncomfortable, and I must invent a stool in the future.
In front of lifting the legs, the armor is like kneeling there, and the fart. After the strand was placed on the back heel, Lu Bu frowned slightly and sorted out the armor, and secretly complained in his heart.
Although this kneeling and sitting in Confucianism is a form of elegance, such an awkward way makes Lu Bu very unhappy in his heart.
Looking at Lu Bu, who had been busy for a while, Liu Hong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who was leaning on the dragon chair, smiled and said to Zhang Rang on the side: "It seems that I, the enemy of ten thousand people, don't seem to like this kind of kneeling. ”
Zhang Rang said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, a fierce general like Captain Lu who fights on the battlefield is afraid that he is used to freedom on weekdays, and he is still a little unaccustomed to letting him sit in such a regular manner." ”
Listening to the ridicule of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu, who had cleaned up, intervened and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the last general has never sat like this on weekdays, so he is somewhat uncomfortable." ”
According to Zuo Feng's introduction to himself, it seems that Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty likes to answer straight to the point, and he doesn't like people who pretend to be confused even though he knows, so Lu Bu didn't hide it in this regard.
"Yes, yes!" Looking at the upright temperament of Lu Bu, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had a smile on his face, and couldn't help but praise: "I like Fengxian's temperament." ”
Maybe it was in the court, and the officials of the Nashi clan were tired of intriguing, and this sudden encounter with a bold general like Lu Bu also made the mood of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty a lot happier.
Looking at Lu Bu, who was sitting on the futon, the Son of Heaven leaning on the dragon chair, said with a smile: "Fengxian, this suppression of the alien races on the east side of the river is really thanks to you. ”
"If you hadn't led your troops to suppress it this time, I don't know how many people in my Han family would have died tragically at the hands of the alien race here."
Lu Bu bowed his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is not the work of the last general alone, it is all thanks to the generals under the command of the last general, and the soldiers under his command fought to the death." ”
"The cavalry that ravaged the land east of my river this time is not an easy thing to deal with, although this time it completely annihilated more than 10,000 people of the cavalry alien race, but the last general also lost half of the soldiers, fortunately, my Han Tianwei is still there, so that all this was finally successfully completed."
Since he is determined to hide his clumsiness, then Lu Bu will definitely not tell the true scale of the soldiers and horses under his command, of course, how to make the Han Emperor Liu Hong feel happy at the same time, and not let him despise himself in his heart, it depends on the charm of his language.
When Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty heard this, he laughed out loud: "Haha~ Feng Xian is really humble, with less than half of the soldiers and horses of the alien race, he went to the land east of the river to conquer, not only recovered the lost city of my Han family, but also annihilated all the foreign races of the cavalry in the land of Hedong. ”
For the 'real' Lu Bu, the good impression in the heart of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is also constantly growing.
Zhang Rang on the side, at this time, patted his ass and said: "All this depends on Your Majesty's discernment, if at that time in the court, really let some people with ulterior motives go to this land east of the river to suppress the foreign race, I don't know how many people will die tragically, I don't know how much gold and silver Your Majesty will lose here." ”
Hearing Zhang Rang talk about this, Emperor Liu Hong, who originally had a smile on his face, immediately became gloomy, "Father Jean is right, now the minister above the court is only thinking about making his subordinates stronger, and he doesn't care about the safety of my Han family at all." ”
"It seems that Feng Xian grew up in the border area, and this heart should be clearer than anyone else, the strength of my Han border army suppressed the border Huns in the south and Xianbei was not allowed to attack, but before in my Han Dynasty Eight Prefectures, the Yellow Turban Thieves Rebellion that suddenly broke out was mostly formed by the stragglers, but in the early days of the outbreak, the local army of my Han Dynasty was so weak."
"I've been thinking for a while, I've ceded the authority of my Han family to these scholars, but what did they bring to my Han family?" At this time, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty changed his original lazy demeanor and spoke sharply.
Looking at the Han Emperor Liu Hong, whose demeanor changed, Lu Bu couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "It seems that the previous guess was right, this Han Emperor is by no means as incompetent as he seems, it is only because the local scholars of the Han family are strong now, in order to restrain the power of the local scholars, they will show such a posture." ’
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that he ascended the throne and became the emperor at a very young age, and gradually took the imperial power into his own hands, although the most recorded in the history of the Han Emperor Liu Hong is the derogatory meaning of favoring eunuchs and selling officials in the West Garden, but for the Han Emperor Liu Hong, if he does not do this, what kind of situation will the power of the Han Emperor's local scholars swell into?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu intervened and said: "This time, the last general led his troops to Hedong, and the county officials in the place where he passed couldn't bear to look at it directly, if the local army of my Han family was strong, there would definitely be no foreign race of horses and troubles the great rivers and mountains of my Han family, all of which are the bane of the local nobles and heroes, in order to protect the power in their hands, regardless of the local development." ”
Since Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is so disgusted with the local scholars and heroes in his heart, he must say it according to his wishes, after all, the most vocal person in the Han family at the moment is the man with a bit of pathology in front of him.
Befriending all the forces in this Luoyang City is just to give yourself a few more choices, but if you want to realize the plan in your heart, it must be to befriend the Han Emperor Liu Hong in front of you.
In the final analysis, the person who is most worried about the Han Dynasty is none other than his Liu family, and the Han Emperor Liu Hong is the supreme existence, so no one is more worried about the safety of the Han Dynasty than in his heart.
