Chapter 16 Tai Shi Ci
The results of this battle were quickly counted.
The Bingzhou cavalry led by LΓΌ Bu lost more than ten people.
Nearly half of them were accidentally falling off a cliff while going up the mountain.
Although Ma Qiang, Liu Wu and others were attacking head-on, they hardly encountered a strong attack, and only lost less than 100 people.
The losses of the family soldiers led by Zhen Yao were relatively more, with more than 100 soldiers killed and more than 100 injured in the battle.
The Xiangyong troops led by Zhang He were intact.
A total of more than 1,700 men were fought, but the losses were only about 200.
As for the results, it can be described as brilliant.
The five leaders of the Five Tiger Villages, the eldest Li Lin was injured and captured, the second Deng Cong was killed in battle, the third Lu Tie was killed in battle, the fourth Wang Kui was captured, and the fifth Wang Gui was captured.
There were more than 2,400 horse bandits, more than 1,700 killed in battle, more than 700 captured, countless gold, silver, treasures, grain and grass, and even more than 800 war horses.
After the war, Lu Bu and others returned to Zhending County with all the captured booty.
As said in advance, Lu Bu gave all the credit for this crackdown on bandits to Ma Qiang, Liu Wu and the Zhen family, and even the gold, silver, treasures, grain and grass in the cottage did not take a penny.
For Lu Bu, the biggest purpose of this crackdown on bandits is to make friends with the Zhen family and Zhao Yun.
This main purpose has been achieved, and it has also unexpectedly gained Zhang He, a general.
This already made Lu Bu overjoyed, and as for those things outside his body, he didn't pay attention to them. Lu Bu, who traveled from later generations, is well versed in a truth: "Talent is always the first resource." β
But Lu Bu was so generous, but others didn't dare to accept it all.
In the end, under the repeated insistence of everyone, Lu Bu received some of the seized gold and silver treasures.
And after receiving these goods, Lu Bu still gave most of them to his knights, which made the other subordinates who participated in the suppression of bandits even more red.
At that time, Tian Feng also hinted to Lu Bu whether such a reward was too generous.
Lu Bu said such a paragraph in front of Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Zhen Yao and others present.
"The soldiers fought bloodily, on the one hand, for the sake of lofty ideals and to save the people from fire and water; On the other hand, I want my life and that of my family to change for the better. These brave warriors can travel thousands of miles to fight for my words, so after victory, what reason do I have to treat these warriors who have shed their blood with their heads? As the old saying goes, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. The same is true in our army, where soldiers are precious and will be light. If there were no ordinary soldiers and brave fighters, what would it be? Water can carry boats and overturn boats, so as a general, you must first take the soldiers first, only if you love the soldiers like children, the soldiers will serve your life. β
As soon as the words were spoken, not only Tian Feng and Zhang He were convinced, but they also felt that they had not seen the wrong person.
Even Zhao Yun, Zhen Yao and others were impressed by Lu Bu, and Zhen Yao even praised: "Lord Lu is merciful, and it is really a blessing for the soldiers and the people to be generous and generous." β
After a few days in Zhending, Lu Bu decided to continue his journey east after taking care of all the trivial matters.
Get ready to try your luck at Donglai and see if you can meet the spear prodigy Yuan.
After all, as a martial artist, especially a master of martial arts, it is an unavoidable beauty to be able to compete with someone whose strength is similar to or even surpasses his own.
However, it was definitely not suitable to go to find people and experience with close to two hundred cavalry, so Lu Bu still sent them back first.
This time, there were more members who set off together, Zhang He, and Lu Bu originally had the intention to fool Zhao Yun to continue to enhance his relationship, but Zhao Yun could only give up because Tong Yuan told him to concentrate on practicing martial arts at home before leaving.
The group of four people is all on horseback, and the speed is not slow.
After two months of stop-and-go, we finally arrived in Dongnae County.
At this time, it is already late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the scenery of the northern country is beginning to emerge.
In this era, there has been no large-scale pollution, every mountain and water is pure and natural, and every grass and tree is natural.
Although he has lived in this era for several years, Lu Bu is still immersed in this stunning natural scenery.
While enjoying the scenery, from time to time, Zhang He and Tian Feng introduced some local customs and anecdotes, and the road was easy and interesting.
On this day, they went to Huang County in Dongnai County.
It is a medium-sized coastal town, and the inhabitants of the town mainly depend on fishing for their livelihood.
After coming here, Lu Bu suddenly remembered that there was a person.
A Jiangdong hero who died young but left a strong mark during the Three Kingdoms period - Tai Shici.
It's just that history records that Tai Shici was born in 166, and he should be only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy at this time, and he is younger than Zhao Yun's grade.
It was almost evening, and everyone was preparing to find an inn to rest.
At the gate of the town, he met a few children playing, Lu Zhong stepped forward to stop an older child and asked, "This little brother is invited, dare to ask where there is an inn in this town where you can rest?" β
The boy didn't answer immediately, but first looked at the four of them carefully with a scrutinizing eye, and then asked, "How dare you ask where did you come from?" β
The young man's behavior like a little adult made everyone laugh, Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stop Lu Zhong, who was about to ask, walked up to the young man, and looked at it carefully.
This young man is only in the grade of more than ten years, two sword eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, a pair of starry eyes are abnormally smart, the bridge of the nose is straight, the corners of the mouth are slightly pursed, although the figure is not tall, but it is as tall as a spear.
Lu Bu smiled and stepped forward to clasp his fists and said, "This little brother, I am Lu Bu from the Bingzhou clan, and these people behind me are all my friends. Today, I want to stay in your place for one night, and I ask my brother to tell me. β
Hearing Lu Bu's polite remarks, and seeing that the four of them did not look like bad people, the young man replied: "I am Donglai Tai Shici, and I have no intention of offending, but in recent years, there have been cases of Japanese invaders at sea from time to time, so I have this question below, please forgive me." β
Lu Bu said happily in his heart: "It turned out to be Tai Shici" and then he was shocked: "Is there already a Japanese in this era?" β
(Historical records record that there were more than 100 small states throughout Japan around the first century AD, some of which had established diplomatic relations with the Eastern Han Dynasty.) οΌ
Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked, "Little brother, what do you mean by the Japanese Kou?" Can you describe it? β
The young man, Tai Shici, tilted his head and thought about it and replied: "Generally not tall, they squeak in their mouths and say some words that they don't understand, they are very arrogant and unreasonable, no one knows where they come from, every time they appear, there are always dozens or hundreds of people robbing some small fishing villages, Donglai County, including the adjacent Beihai County, there are many fishing villages that have been killed, but every time they appear, they are irregular, and the time interval is also uncertain." β
Lu Bu heard that his heart was slightly settled at this time, it seemed that the Japanese at this time had not yet taken shape, and it was just a small group of bandits.
Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that there would be such alien races disturbing the peace of my border, and sure enough, if it is not my race, its heart will be different." β
Tian Feng opened his mouth and said: "I really don't know, there are other countries overseas. β
Lu Bu nodded and replied, "Well, on this vast East China Sea, there are still countless countries and races, and the Japanese Kou just mentioned is just one of them. One day, I, the Chinese warriors, will go to sea to conquer these alien races! β
After hearing Lu Bu's words, Tai Shici said excitedly: "Brother Lu, is what you said true, are there countless countries beyond this East China Sea?" β
Lu Bu said with a smile: "This is natural, I am a big country in China, but it is only a part of this world, let's just say that the ancient trade road in the past, didn't it also pass through countless countries?" Not to mention the even more expansive East China Sea. Directly east of this Dongrai is the Wa kingdom of the Wa people, Ryukyu, and many other small countries and tribes to the south. β
Zhang He, who had a calm heart, was also moved by Lu Bu's description: "But how do we get to those places? β
Lu Bu replied firmly: "In the near future, in my lifetime, I will definitely let the education of the Great Han spread all over the world, from the Great Qin Empire in the west, to the Ryukyu Kingdom in the east, to the Xiongnu royal court in the north, and to the Nanyang countries in the south, all of them will be subject to the iron hooves of my Great Han." I want to let the slogan of 'those who offend me strong, even if they are far away, they will be punished' will resound throughout the world! β
Tian Feng, Zhang He, and Lu Zhong were all overwhelmed by Lu Bu's lofty ambitions, and knelt down on one knee and said: "I am willing to serve the Lord (young master) to the death, and I will never give up!" β
The children who were originally playing next to them were suddenly frightened by the actions of Lu Bu and his party and ran away.
Only Tai Shi Ci was still standing in front of Lu Bu, the breath in his mouth gradually thickened, and his immature fists were clenched tightly.
He stared at Lu Bu and suddenly said, "Lu, Brother Lu, I also want to follow you." β
Although Tai Shici is a famous general in history, he is just a child at this time.
Lu Bu was about to open his mouth to refuse, when suddenly a woman's exclamation came: "Ci'er, Hugh is talking nonsense!" β
When I turned my head to look, I saw a woman running towards here, and a child next to her was holding her, who was one of the children who had been playing with Tai Shici at the entrance of the village before.
The woman was dressed plainly, but her whole body was covered tightly, and only her mouth and eyes were exposed.
She rushed between Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci, opened her hands to protect Tai Shi Ci behind her and said: "Who are you, why did you stop my child, if the child is not sensible and offensive, I hope Haihan will let my child go." β
The woman's words really made Lu Bu and the others cry and laugh.
Suddenly turning his head and seeing the cowering eyes of the child who came with the woman, he immediately understood that he had been misunderstood by the children.
With a wry smile, Lu Bu roughly explained what happened, and after asking Tai Shici, the woman understood that she had misunderstood Lu Bu and the others.
So he hurriedly pulled Tai Shici and bowed again and again: "The ignorant village woman is clumsy, and she has offended all the adults. Please forgive me. β
Lu Bu said loudly: "It is normal for a lady to love her son. β
The lady continued: "I heard the dog say, you adults have no place to stay, it is better to do this, I will order the dog to go to the town inn to book a room for the adults, you lords please come with me to the house, let me arrange some food, on the one hand, to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, on the other hand, to make amends." β
Lu Bu was worried that he didn't have a chance to get close to Tai Shici, and he didn't think of a ready-made opportunity in front of him.
Lu Bu pretended to excuse himself and said, "How can this be too disturbing to Madame." β
The woman hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is polite, Ci'er should not go to your Uncle Zhang to book a room soon." β
Then he turned to Lu Bu and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me." β
