Chapter 057: Recuperate
At this time, although Xun Yu's uncle and nephew did not respect Lu Bu as the main father, they also accepted the fact of serving in Lu Bu with sincerity.
It turned out that although the two of them had a very good relationship with Lu Bu, after all, as a big family, they couldn't help themselves in many things.
At the same time, Xun Yu's real thoughts in his heart still hope to be able to enter the court as an official and support the Han family.
Therefore, Lu Bu refused his invitation many times when he was in Luoyang before.
But this time he came to Tian Feng's plan, taking advantage of Lu Bu's opportunity to subdue Xianbei in one fell swoop.
Ask Ding Yuan to write to the imperial court to report the military situation, and at the same time ask some officials to come and annex the state.
One is to fill the vacancies caused by the Xianbei rebellion, and the other is to send some officials to Xianbei.
In this list, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew are among them, as smart as he and the two of them immediately guessed that it was Lu Bu who was making trouble.
But since it is assigned by the imperial court, it is necessary to be an official wherever he goes.
And after all, Lu Bu treated the two of them as if they were guests, so he followed Tian Feng here.
It's just that there is inevitably some resentment in my heart, and I won't serve Lu Bu as the lord so simply.
But after hearing Lu Bu's poems, the two of them were also on fire in their hearts.
Liu Ba also bowed to Lu Bu's poems, and said in a single-minded manner: "The general is literary and elegant, and has the world in mind, the kid worships him, I don't know if the general has and orders, but please speak up!" ”
Guo Jia hurriedly winked at Lu Bu vigorously, meaning that Lu Bu would take the opportunity to stay with Liu Ba.
But Lu Bu knew in his heart that Liu Ba in history didn't like Liu Bei because he was arrogant.
was chased by Liu Bei for most of China before he barely stayed.
If you ask the other party to stay at this time, even if you can achieve your goal, I am afraid that the other party will be disgusted.
And once such arrogant people have an aversion in their hearts.
I'm afraid that once I have the opportunity, I will stay away from myself and never recover.
That's more than worth the loss.
After Lu Bu had a plan in his heart, he opened his mouth and smiled: "It's just a joke, Zichu doesn't have to take it seriously!" ”
Who knew that Liu Ba was stunned after hearing this.
"What comes out of the general's mouth is not child's play. I, Liu Zichu, am not such a brazen person, and I can make it clear what the general wants. ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and he really took the bait.
So he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, that's good, Lu said it." ”
After a pause, seeing everyone looking at him curiously, Lu Bu then spoke again.
"Lu's request is to be able to make you a friend, to have a little brother like Zichu, Lu is very lucky!"
Liu Ba was stunned when he heard this.
Not only him, but most of the people present didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in Lu Bu's gourd.
Only Xun Yu smiled silently.
Liu Ba asked, "Is this true?" ”
Lu Bu said sincerely: "It's true. ”
Liu Ba seemed a little unwilling and continued to speak.
"Liu Jingzhou, one of the Eight Horses, Liu Yuanjun has recruited me to serve him many times, but you only have such a simple request, General?"
Lu Bu nodded and continued, "From the bottom of my heart." Although I, Lu Bu, are thirsty for talent, I don't do anything that forces others. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Bu suddenly felt a burst of heat on his face, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
When he turned his head, he found that it was Xun Yu looking at him with a smile.
Ignoring him, Lu Bu continued to say cheekily.
"If the little brother is unwilling to give in here, why should I force it, it is better to make a confidant and friend, wouldn't it be happy!"
"Hahaha, I see, the general is really a strange person."
Liu Ba then turned to leave, leaving a message as he opened the tent.
"Guo Fengxiao, I will go home first and tell my father, at most half a year, at least in March, I will go to Yingchuan Academy to find you. When you finish your studies, you and I will come together to follow the lord! ”
After listening to Liu Ba's words before leaving, Guo Jia hurriedly congratulated Lu Bu: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, and he has another great talent." ”
Xun Yuqi said: "What is so special about this Liu Zichu? Can you make Guo Fengxiao, who is above the top, so favored? ”
Guo Jia said proudly: "Mr. Xun, you haven't been in the academy for the past two years, so I don't know this person. But you must be familiar with the drama Zhicai. ”
"Of course I do." Then Xun Yu explained the confusion for everyone: "Although Xi Zhicai is a child of a commoner, he was admitted by the dean of Yingchuan Academy, and his talent is quick to talk about the art of war and tactics. ”
Most of the people present knew the great name of Yingchuan Academy.
When they heard Xun Yu say that this lively young man was so big, they no longer despised him.
Guo Jia also enjoyed their eyes, and continued to explain triumphantly.
"Mr. is right, Xi Zhicai's ability is even sighed by many gentlemen in the academy. Around the Qingming Festival this year, Liu Ba came to the college alone and threatened to ask for teaching questions, but he did his best to solve some tricky and strange problems, and even many gentlemen were defeated. As a result, Xi Zhicai debated with him, but in the end, no one could convince anyone, haha, at that time, Xi Zhicai's bitter gourd face was about to drip bitter water, hahahaha! ”
Xun Yu scolded with a smile: "You Guo Fengxiao, you are still gloating when your classmates are humiliated." ”
Guo Jia laughed and said: "I wouldn't be so happy if I were any other person, only he was deflated, and I was very happy." ”
Xun Yu knew about the peculiar friendship between the two.
The two who are equally talented are not convinced by each other, but at the same time secretly cherish each other.
At the moment, Xun Yu didn't dwell on this issue, and continued to ask: "Then didn't you argue with him at that time?" ”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly seemed to be deflated, and said vaguely: "That's it." ”
Xun Yu knew that Guo Jia must not have been pleasing when he said this, so he didn't continue to ask at the moment.
The more Lu Bu listened to it, the more surprised he became, and the famous name of Xi Zhicai was also thunderous.
I didn't see him when I first went to Yingchuan Academy, and when I heard his name, my heart moved.
Pulling Guo Jia and asking, "Fengxiao, what about the drama Zhicai you mentioned?" ”
"Alas......" Guo Jia sighed.
"Xi Zhicai has been frail and sick since he was a child, he has a good relationship with Cao Cao, and after graduating from the academy, Cao Cao took him for treatment."
"Oh." Lu Bu was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, before entering the troubled times at this time, there are already so many outstanding talents around me.
I believe that his team will only grow stronger and stronger in the future.
Soon, after the arrival of Zhong Xuan and others, the affairs of the Xianbei tribe gradually got on the right track.
More than two months passed, and it entered the month of A.D.
It was already extremely cold in the north, and the winter supplies sent by the imperial court were finally delivered to the Xianbei royal court.
At least this winter, the Xianbei people can pass without looting.
With the arrival of supplies, Ding Yuan also sent someone to replace Lu Bu.
This person's name is Mao Jue, and he was originally a county magistrate in Hedong County.
Later, he volunteered to come to the Xianbei territory as a garrison official.
The military general who came with him was none other than a warrior he had recruited in Hedong, named Xu Huang.
When Lu Bu heard that it was these two people who arrived, he warmly entertained them.
Mao Jue is an ordinary reader who can no longer be an ordinary reader.
And Xu Huang is relatively eye-catching.
With a figure of more than eight feet, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a handsome appearance, and a giant axe that opens the mountain.
Seeing Xu Huang, Lu Bu suddenly remembered the stupid big Zhou Cang who was far away in Wujin Mountain, Bingzhou.
Comparing the two, there are really some similarities.
It's just that Xu Huang is far superior to Zhou Cang in terms of resourcefulness.
Lu Bu asked Mao Jue and said, "Mr. Mao's visit to Xianbei is not an easy errand. Xianbei is located in an area full of grassland, and the climate is harsh, and Xianbei people do not know how to farm, not good at sericulture, how to help Xianbei people develop Mr. Mao can have a high opinion? ”
Mao Jue had obviously done his homework before coming, and replied loudly.
"The Xianbei royal court is rich in water and grass, and there are people who are good at farming sent by the imperial court to teach the technology, and the fields around the lakes around several large lakes can be guaranteed to be self-sufficient within a few years. In addition, the grassland produces cattle, sheep and horses, and in addition to paying tribute to the imperial court every year, it can also exchange other living needs with the people in the Guannei, and at the same time, the Xianbei commoners have a tough character, as long as they can meet their basic needs, it only takes three or five years to develop. ”
Lu Bu stroked his palms and smiled: "Mr. is really talented." But I would like to remind you sir of a few things. ”
"General, please speak, filial piety first listens." Mao Jue said respectfully.
Lu Bu said solemnly: "My Han must be familiar with the strategy of Xianbei, and I hope that Mr. will remember that this is one of them; Mr. Fang Cai's method of enclosing the lake and cultivating fields is very good, but it should not be excessive, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Mao Jue was puzzled: "Oh? What does this mean, I hope the general will tell you. ”
At this time, the ancients did not have the so-called concept of environmental protection, and did not know the harm caused by the wanton destruction of the environment.
Lu Bu had to patiently explain: "I'll give you a grassland person who understands the reason." After a pause, Lu Bu moved out of the classic theory in the wolf totem that he had seen before.
"Steppe wolves are a big scourge on the grasslands, and wolves are cruel and cunning, good at teamwork, and feed on herbivores such as cattle and sheep on the grasslands, and have always been a thorn in the side of grassland herders. But every year, when the steppe wolves are encircled and killed, the herders do not exterminate them, but control the wolves within a certain size and let them develop freely. Sir, do you know why? ”
Mao Jue and Xu Huang heard these grassland anecdotes for the first time, and they were already fascinated.
After hearing Lu Bu's question, he subconsciously shook his head.
Lu Bu then replied: "Because if there are too many wolves, there is no need to say much about the harm, but if the number of wolves is too small or even disappears, then the number of sheep on the grassland will grow wildly, and at the same time, other animals such as gophers on the grassland will also breed wildly. The consequence of this is that the grass on the grassland cannot supply so many animals and decreases year by year, and in the next ten or even decades, there will probably be no grass on the grassland, and neither cattle, sheep nor horses will be gone. ”
Mao Jue said suspiciously: "Is there really such a thing?" ”
Lu Bu knew that saying this would not make the ancients understand the harm of destroying the natural environment, so he gave another example.
"Then the ancient country of Loulan in the Western Regions must have known that I once visited this country when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first passed through the Western Regions, although its territory is small, but the scenery is beautiful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Mao Jue nodded again.
"A few years ago, however, I heard from caravans who went there that it was now surrounded by yellow sand, and when the wind rose, the yellow sand covered the sky and the sun as if night had fallen, and when the wind stopped, the sand was almost knee-high."
Mao Jue was shocked: "Is there really such a strange thing? ”
"Absolutely." Lu Bu's words were conclusive.
"I've asked a lot of people about this, and they've all answered the same thing. According to them, it was due to the overkeeping of camels and horses. ”
After listening to this, Mao Jue was drenched in cold sweat, got up and said, "Thank you General for waking up, otherwise Xiaoxian will almost break a big deal!" Baidu will read the latest chapter of "Lu Bujie's Literature of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
