Chapter 42: Lu Bu's Choice
Li Su came on behalf of Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo has been continuing to build his lair in Longxi, and he is very tough in the face of the Qiang people.
However, after going to the Central Plains for a walk, he did see a lot of powerful existences.
There are also many capable people under him, Hua Xiong, the first master of Xiliang, as well as Zhang Ji of Beidi and his nephew Zhang Xiu, the gun king of Beidi, as well as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Niu Fu, Li Su, Hu Zhen and so on.
Among the elite generals under him, they can all be regarded as able to fight, after all, the generals who came out of the Xiliang campaign are naturally not weak.
But if it is really necessary to achieve that kind of absolute force crushing, there is still none.
And if the situation is getting worse and worse today, if you really want to gain a firm foothold in the future, then you must have a capable person under your command who can truly suppress the heroes of the world.
And a small general under him, Li Su, told Dong Zhuo about Lu Bu.
The god of war of the nine plains, mighty and invincible.
Able to single-handedly weave through enemy armies and take down enemy chieftains.
He was also able to lead hundreds of cavalry to drive the invading Xianbei people out of the country.
His combat power and might, as described by Li Su.
All the generals of the Xiliang Army combined were not as terrible as him alone.
Fortunately, this was only said in front of Dong Zhuo, otherwise if it was heard by other generals of the Xiliang Army, Li Su's life would not be easy.
For the powerful combat effectiveness described by Li Su, Dong Zhuo was moved.
He felt that this was the opportunity given to him by God to discover a peerless warrior who had not yet been discovered.
Without further ado.
He asked Li Su to bring gold, silver, jewelry, and a letter written by himself, and went to Jiuyuan City, Wuyuan County, to find Lu Bu, and invited him to come to Longxi to help him.
So Li Su will appear here at this time.
Although Li Su, who arrived in Jiuyuan City, heard the news of the death of Lu Bu's wife, Wei, and understood that it was a little inappropriate for him to come over to recruit Lu Bu at this time.
But with the order in his body, he can't come out for too long to complete the task.
Li Su could only store everything in Jiuyuan City and send it all to Wei Xu and Lu Qiling, and then rushed to Wei's grave by himself, hoping to talk to Lu Bu.
When he arrived just now, he saw Lu Bu from afar, and he had a premonition.
I shouldn't be able to invite him this time.
But so what, you still have to get on it.
Li Su stubbornly got on it, but he was a smart man.
He wouldn't say anything about Dong Zhuo's invitation directly.
Instead, he used the Wei clan as a breakthrough, and in the past, in the name of worshipping the Wei clan, Lu Bu was able to accept his arrival.
Li Su sat aside according to Lu Bu's arrangement and drank with Lu Bu.
However, the atmosphere was a little strange, and neither of them spoke.
Lu Bu didn't want to say it, Li Su saw Lu Bu's state, and could feel that he didn't want to speak, so naturally he didn't open his mouth to affect his mood.
The two of them drank quietly and did not speak.
In this land, there is no other sound.
Only the sound of wine pouring down into the glass, and the sound of the wind blowing.
"Say, where will this wind go?"
Lu Bu suddenly spoke.
He himself shattered the peace.
His eyes looked into the distance, at a place he had never reached.
His sudden question made Li Su stunned for a moment.
Li Su didn't know how to answer Lu Bu's question, did this question mean something?
Don't?
He wants to say that he is this wind, but he is now walking in a daze, not knowing what direction he is going to go next, which shows his confusion and helplessness, and wants to show him a clear way?
So he didn't just avoid it.
Instead, choose to sit yourself down and have a glass of wine.
It must be so!
Li Su's mind came alive and looked at Lu Bu beside him.
Suddenly, he felt that every action he made was hinting at himself, and let himself open his mouth to attract him.
However, as a fellow countryman and an old acquaintance, Li Su knows Lu Bu's character, and this situation is not very likely.
You can't startle a snake just because of impulse.
It would be embarrassing if it aroused Lu Bu's disgust.
"Ahem."
Clearing his throat, Li Su looked like he was about to give a speech, but let Lu Bu look at him more.
"The wind is blowing from the northeast, and it is naturally heading southwest. To the southwest of us, is Xiliang. ”
"Maybe this wind will go to Xiliang to see the exotic customs."
Li Su said something that was not nutritious.
But subconsciously gave Lu Bu an impression of Xiliang, at least so that when he chose the direction in the future, he would be able to think of Xiliang's position by chance.
"Really?"
Lu Bu said lightly, and then fell silent again.
He didn't speak again.
The atmosphere froze again.
Li Su didn't stay long before retiring, he felt that staying like this would affect Lu Bu's mood and not be good.
Lu Bu looked at Li Su's distant figure, shook his head, and entered the house.
............................
"Li Su brought it?"
Lu Bu frowned, listening to his brother-in-law Wei Xu tell him about Li Su yesterday.
Wei Xu is still a well-behaved boy, he honestly took care of Lu Lingqi in Jiuyuan City, but when he met a strange man, he said that he was an old friend of his brother-in-law, and after walking around the yard for a while, he felt that they were living a hard life, and then pulled a large bag of gold, silver and jewelry to give to them.
There is no room for them not to take it.
In the end, he said that his name was Li Su.
"Yes."
Wei Xu replied honestly.
To tell the truth, it was the first time he had seen so much gold and silver jewelry.
Although it is said that Lu Bu has a high status in Jiuyuan City, the Wei clan is also respected in Jiuyuan City.
But it doesn't mean that they are rich, they are just an ordinary family, otherwise why don't they even have servants?
However, there is no custom of servants in Jiuyuan City, and everyone is one family after another.
The family normally stored materials, and the only gold, silver and jewelry was when Lu Bu went to the Huns, and the loot collected from there was distributed and brought back to the Wei family.
It's his brother-in-law's romance over there.
"By the way, I also brought a good horse, which I said was called Red Rabbit."
"But it is said that this horse is too strong to submit, so he has been locked in the car and waited for his brother-in-law to take a look."
Wei Xu thought of something other than gold and silver treasures.
He hadn't seen the horse with his own eyes, but the owner who was able to give away such a large amount of treasure should have sent a horse that was not bad.
Listening to Wei Xu's words, Lu Bu frowned and thought.
"You go back to take care of Lingqi first, and tomorrow when the mourning period expires in January, I will go back to Jiuyuan."
Lu Bu asked Wei Xu to go back first, and he was not very relieved to leave his daughter alone in the city.
He returned to the grass house by himself, thinking about Li Su's intentions.
It seems that Li Su's intention is definitely not just to visit himself and worship his wife.
He must have had something deeper in mind.
In fact, Lu Bu didn't need to use his brain too much to guess this kind of thought.
On behalf of the Western Liang Army, you will recruit yourself, right?
Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tian Painting Halberd that was placed in the corner, and stroked the black cloth wrapped around the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, feeling its shape and strength.
Xiliang.
Dong Zhuo.
Are you really going to see it?
To see the world outside of Gohara County and feel the power of this world?
He carried Fang Tian's halberd, slowly walked to his wife's grave, and put Fang Tian's halberd in front of her grave.
"I listen to you."
Lu Bu looked at Wei's grave and said softly.
"In front of your tomb, you will witness that where the tip of Fang Tian's halberd falls, then I will go wherever I go."
Lu Bu erected Fang Tian's halberd and let go gently.
"Bang!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Lu Bu quietly looked at the Fang Tian painting halberd on the ground, looking at the direction the tip of the halberd was facing, and there was silence for a while.
"Listen to you."
Putting away Fang Tian's painting halberd, Lu Bu sat down next to his wife's grave, tonight he wanted to accompany her to look at the starry sky and say goodbye to this sky.
.................................
"How does Dong Gong want to use me?"
Lu Bu found Li Su, who was resting in Jiuyuan City, and met him and went straight to the point.
Although he never left Wuyuan County, he still knew who Li Su was working for, and he also knew that Li Su was here to be a lobbyist.
None of that matters, though.
"The first general."
Li Su knew Lu Bu's style, and he didn't follow him, and answered him directly.
"Why me? There is no one in Xiliang? ”
Lu Bu's eyes narrowed.
If there is no opponent in Xiliang, then it makes no sense for him to stay in Xiliang for a long time. His words were full of aggression and had a provocative connotation, and even the map cannon hit Li Su.
Li Su smiled bitterly.
Although the words in front of him are dragging, they have the capital to drag.
Lu Bu went to Xiliang, and he was indeed invincible.
However, Li Su also felt Lu Bu's thoughts, he seemed to want an opponent, so he had to prescribe the right medicine.
"Xiliang will be like a cloud, but like you, no."
"And Dong Gong's future opponent, there may be a strong opponent like you, if you work for Dong Gong, you will face him in the future."
Li Su suddenly had an idea.
"Could it be that Feng Xian will be afraid? At that time, there may be a stronger existence than you, and if you are not careful, you will die in another country. ”
Li Su was obviously a little angry when he saw Lu Bu's eyes.
It seems that the method of agitating generals is really more useful to military generals, and his own wave of irony has brought interest to Lu Bu, right?
"Then I'm going to see who can kill me somewhere."
Lu Bu turned around and walked away without looking back.
As he left, he left a word.
"I'll leave tomorrow, you can go back and tell Dong Gong first."
"Jiuyuan Lu Fengxian, come to help."
Li Su looked at Lu Bu's back, and his heart was ecstatic.
I succeeded.
"By the way, send the red rabbit horse to my house."
Lu Bu suddenly turned back and explained to Li Su.
His momentum just now is gone, but after all, he is a cavalryman, and the position of the horse in his heart is still very important.
"Oh, good."
Li Su nodded.
In a blink of an eye.
It was the second day.
Li Su had already set off for Xiliang first.
Outside the city of Kuhara.
"Do you want to leave today?"
Wei Xu was full of questions.
Lu Bu, who has guarded Wuyuan County for so many years, why is he suddenly leaving his homeland?
"Well, go and ask, how many people are willing to go with me?"
Lu Bu lightly explained to Wei Xu.
"Oh, good."
Wei Xu has no relatives except for his sister, and now there are only Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi left as relatives, he obediently accepted Lu Bu's order, went to ask those wild wolf riders, and a few were willing to follow Lu Bu to go to the Central Plains.
Lu Lingqi sat behind her father, and a black cloth tied her and her father together.
The armor on my father's body was a little unusual.
But Lu Lingqi is not afraid of pain at all, she is just a little confused, she suddenly wants to leave the place where she grew up, leave the place where her mother is there, she doesn't know what she can do, she can only listen to her father's words, obediently.
"Father."
The two of them were waiting for Wei Xu to summon a wild wolf who was willing to go on the road together, and Lu Lingqi suddenly called out to her father.
Turning back slightly, Lu Bu's ears were directed at his daughter.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you think we'd come back?"
"Yes."
"Then if we leave, will my mother be able to see us?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'm obedient, my mother will be sad to see me crying."
Lu Lingqi's voice became weaker and weaker.
The little girl had come to terms with the fact that her mother was no longer alive.
She understands the cruelty of life and death better than any child of her age.
She had already been prepared.
Since her mother fell ill, she has never shed tears again, and she has learned everything.
"Brother-in-law, there are one hundred and twenty-seven people who are willing to follow us, and now they are all packing up their things and leaving the city."
Wei Xu gasped, he had already informed the brothers of the wild wolf ride one by one so quickly, he was about to get his heart out.
"The other brothers said that maybe Jiuyuan City still needs their protection."
Wei Xu lowered his head.
"They're right."
Lu Bu glanced at Jiuyuan City behind him.
"Let's go when everyone is ready."
"Okay."
In a short time, hundreds of wild wolf riders were assembled, and most of them had no families, so they would naturally follow Lu Bu out of Jiuyuan City with peace of mind and go to the Central Plains to see other scenery.
And the other nearly 1,000 people who chose to stay in Jiuyuan City all had families.
They all made Wei Xu bring a promise.
If Commander Lu returns to Jiuyuan City in the future, they will definitely follow Commander Lu.
With this phrase, it is enough.
Lu Bu let Wei Xu distribute the belongings, and let everyone take some, and he had already kept his share.
Although Wei Xu was puzzled, he still honestly followed his brother-in-law's arrangement.
This is the benefit that Lu Bu gave to these hundreds of people.
Because they are brothers who are willing to follow themselves to the world, brothers who can entrust themselves, money is something outside the body, and it is also good to share it with them as the capital for the future.
He's kind of pulling in on his own.
The brothers are still very satisfied with the distribution of benefits when they join the house.
"Let's go!"
After inspecting the hundreds of strong soldiers again, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's halberd and shouted.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it was in the direction of Jiuyuan City.
