Chapter 35: To Luoyang

After settling Zhang Ning's subordinates, Lu Bu found Tian Feng again.

Lu Bu spoke first: "What does Mr. think of today's events? ”

Tian Feng opened his mouth and replied: "The lord is asking about this Taiping Dao?" Although the momentum is huge, but the upper and lower levels cannot be concentric, plus Zhang Jiao has passed away, most of the rebels in various places have been hanged, and it is estimated that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang brothers will not be able to support it for long. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "The two generals of Zhu Jun and Emperor Fu Song are out, and the two brothers of the Zhang family must have been in the past two months. It's just a pity that Zhang Jiao's generation of heroes died young. Ay! ”

Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Lord, lord, Yuan Hao knows that the lord has a deep relationship with the father and daughter of the Zhang family, but at this time, after all, it is the Han world, and I ask the lord to pay attention to his words and deeds." ”

Lu Bu smiled heartily: "Mr. admonished, the kid knows." This is also the reason why you and I are in this secret room, and we will definitely not say such rebellious words outside, haha. After a pause, Lu Bu continued: "If I want to go to Luoyang, what does Mr. think?" ”

"To Luoyang?" Tian Feng asked rhetorically: "Why did the lord enter Beijing?" ”

Lu Bu said: "As Mr. Fang just said, the destruction of the Taiping army is imminent. I think there must be a lot of opportunities in Luoyang City at this moment. If you go at this time, you will definitely be rewarded for your deeds. ”

Tian Feng obviously didn't believe Lu Bu's words, but he didn't say anything about it, he thought about it and said, "It's not impossible to go to Luoyang. When the Yellow Turban was raised before, although I was not affected too much, before that, it was also a fact that I was on the border and resisted the invasion of the grassland tribes, and it was okay to take this opportunity to go to Luoyang to recover my life. ”

Lu Bu knew that Tian Feng would not believe Fang Cai's excuse, but he couldn't tell Tian Feng that he would enter the world into chaos in a few years, and in order to prepare, he went to Luoyang this time to dig people. However, after hearing that Tian Feng finally agreed with his proposition, Lu Bu was still very happy.

In fact, according to Tian Feng's thoughts, at this time, it is not the best time to go to Luoyang, but as a strategist, it is his duty to respect the decision of the lord and provide him with a solution. Therefore, after considering that there was no big risk or loss in going to Luoyang, Tian Feng still agreed.

Tian Feng still spoke: "Lord, this time is different from the past, although I went to the capital this time, I still have to bring more people to be prepared." ”

Tian Feng's suggestion was in Lu Bu's arms, and this trip to Luoyang was originally to make more preparations, so it was inevitable to bring more people. Lu Bu nodded and said, "Sir, this is very true. ”

At the court meeting the next day, Lu Bu told Ding Yuan about the idea of going to Luoyang.

Ding Yuan happily agreed to Lu Bu's proposal, and said: "Now that the weather has turned cold, there are not too many wars in the north, after the poison of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the land of China is in shambles. In this way, Captain LΓΌ, you will lead 1,000 cavalry and infantry, 5,000 stones of grain and grass, and 3,000 cattle and sheep, and set off in three days and send them to Luoyang. It's just that I have always had barren land, and I can only take out so much. ”

Lu Brown said: "Your Excellency is loyal to the country, and your subordinates will definitely live up to their mission!" ”

Ding Yuan raised his hand and said, "Well, this road is far away, and there are still many Yellow Turban Thieves now. Although Captain Lu is brave, his fists are hard to beat with four hands, Captain Lv, you can choose a few generals in the army to walk with you. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your care." Dare to be with General Gao Shun, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Ding Yuan nodded and said, "Well, with Gao Shun here, then I will be more relieved, so good." Where is Gao Shun? ”

Gao Shun immediately came out and said loudly: "The last will be." ”

"I order you to lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to escort the grain and grass to Luoyang with Captain Lu."

"The last general commands!"

This trip, Lu Bu, the general in the Bingzhou army, only brought Gao Shun and Cao Xing, who was personally promoted, not that Lu Bu didn't want to bring more people, one was because he wanted to guard against the northern nomads, and the other was because the trip to Luoyang was particularly important to Lu Bu, but only trustworthy people could accompany him, and in addition to Gao Shun and Cao Xing in the Bingzhou army, the rest of the generals Lu Bu didn't dare to believe it too much.

As for his own people, he only brought Tian Feng and Zhang He. At the same time, he also let Zhang Ning and the other four people in the dark group secretly accompany him, leaving only Dark Wu and the two of them staying in Bingzhou.

After Lu Bu and the others hurriedly arrived in Luoyang, they first went through the handover procedures for grain and grass and other items, and then settled down in the post house, and when they were busy with everything, it was already night.

Late at night, there was no light in the study, Lu Bu sat at the table, the greedy wolf lazily lying at Lu Bu's feet, a pair of green eyes half-open and half-closed. There was also a black shadow standing behind Lu Bu, a pair of jade hands gently massaging Lu Bu's shoulders.

Lu Bu took a sip of tea, grabbed his hands and said, "Ning'er, I've worked hard for you, so secretive." ”

The figure leaned down and hugged Lu Bu from behind, and only under the illumination of the moonlight could he see Zhang Ning's face that could be broken by blowing bullets. She gently leaned on Lu Bu's shoulder and said, "Silly brother, as long as I can be with you, no matter how hard Ning'er is, I won't be afraid." ”

Lu Bu stretched his ape arms, hugged Zhang Ning back, closed his eyes to enjoy this moment of tranquility, and muttered unconsciously in his mouth: "Silly girl." ”

Zhang Ning pinched Lu Bu's nose mischievously and said, "Hmph, you're stupid!" After quickly escaping from Lu Bu's embrace, Zhengse said: "By the way, Brother Lu, there is some news about the matter you let you inquire about." ”

Lu Buxi said: "Really? Let's hear about it. ”

"Well, Secret Shen reported that my brother let a few people who were investigating have news, Guo Jia is still studying in Yingchuan Academy, Xun Yu is idle at this time, but he is in Luoyang, Xun Yu has just taken up the post of Huangmen Shilang, Xun Yu is at his home, Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi is also in Luoyang at the moment, but Chen Ji among the three gentlemen is not in Luoyang at this time, and there is no news from the other people." Zhang Ning said while reminiscing, "Brother, do you know all these people? Why ask them? ”

Lu Bu sold a pass and said, "Well, keep it secret for the time being, and you will naturally know in the future." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Bu personally took Tian Feng and Zhang He to Xun You's house, and when he heard that Lu Bu was coming, Xun You personally went out to greet him, and the other person next to him was not Xun Yu.

When the three old friends saw each other in the courtyard, they exchanged pleasantries, and they were reminded to enter the house.

As soon as he sat down, Xun Yu spoke first: "What kind of wind blew our Brother Lu from Bingzhou to Luoyang?" ”

Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "You Xun Wenruo, I didn't expect it to make me amused." The main reason for this visit to Beijing was to come and escort the grain and grass supplies. The Yellow Turban Rebellion affected Shenzhou, although Ding Bingzhou was concerned about the imperial court, he could not leave without permission, so he ordered me to escort a batch of grain and grass supplies to Beijing to contribute to the imperial court. ”

Xun Yu Zhengse got up and looked north and said deeply: "Ding Bingzhou's loyalty can be learned, and Wen Ruo deeply admires it. Hey, it's a pity that I have the ambition to serve the country, but I can't serve the court at this time of crisis, it's really ......"

Lu Bu waved his hand and interrupted: "Wen Ruo didn't say this. It is the duty of the husband to serve the court, Wen Ruo is still young, and there are opportunities, isn't Gongda a good example. The two of you are already talented, and with the background of the Xun family, it is only a matter of time. By the way, Gongda, I would like to congratulate you! ”

Xun You replied: "Where, where." It's just a mere Huangmen squire, but if you want to say congratulations, it's my little uncle who really wants to be congratulated. ”

Before Xun Yu finished speaking, Xun Yu hurriedly interrupted: "Gongda! A handsome face was covered with a layer of gloom, and there was a little shyness.

Lu Bu was also curious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? Wen Ruo, where does the joy come from? Come on. ”

Xun Yu was silent, but Xun Yu said with a smile: "Isn't it a great joy in life to spend candles in the cave room!" ”

"Oh? Wen Ruo is married, oops, this is a great joy, which girl is so blessed? ”

Xun Yu saw that he couldn't hide it, so he simply said it himself: "What a joy, my face is almost gone." married the daughter of Tang Heng, the former middle school attendant. ”

"Shhhh Lu Bu took a breath and said, "No wonder Wen Ruo is so distressed. However, in the eyes of the foolish brother, Ling Zun's move is also to protect you, but don't think about it. ”

It turned out that Tang Heng had served as a regular attendant in the past, and was named the Marquis of Ruyang. Although he was a eunuch, he married a wife and had children, and his power was huge, although the family declined after his death, but it was also a big family. It's just that the famous families at that time didn't look down on these eunuch families at all. The most famous thing is that Tang Heng's daughter wanted to marry Fu Gongming, a famous man in Runan, but was directly divorced by the other party, which became a joke, but in the end she married the high-spirited Xun Yu, which dealt a very big blow to his reputation.

Xun You replied: "The little uncle is not angry, and he also understands the hard work of the uncle, but he just feels a little unbearable on his face." Come to think of it, hey. ”

At this time, Tian Feng suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Lord, can you allow me to say a word?" ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that." Seeing the puzzled eyes of his uncle and nephew, Lu Bu explained: "By the way, I forgot to introduce, this is Mr. Juluda Toyota, and he is the gentleman I rely on the most." That is Zhang He, who is also my confidant. ”

Xun Yu opened his mouth and said, "Could it be Mr. Tian Yuan Haotian?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "It's exactly below." ”

Xun Yu suddenly got up and said: "Sir's name is like thunder, and my father often taught me not only to learn from Mr. but also to learn from Mr. as a person. I don't want to see you here today, so please forgive the students for not knowing. Xun You also got up and pleaded guilty.

Tian Feng also hurriedly got up and said, "The two sons have tormented me. Hurry up, please get up, in the next is not thin and famous, how can Xun Erlong be so praised, Xun's eight dragons have both ability and political integrity, it is an example for me to learn, and the two sons are the dragon and phoenix among the people. ”

Lu Bu knew that once this literati became polite, it would be endless, so he hurriedly interjected: "Okay, okay, you are all famous scribes, don't be so polite, just be more intimate in the future." The last time I went to the College, Mr. Tian had an accident and did not come with me. By the way, Mr. Tian, what did you just want to say? ”
