Cai Yong glanced at Lu Bu,

He asked, "Tell me, what is the purpose of coming here this time?" ”

Lu Bu hurriedly had a smile on his face,

took two steps forward and walked in front of Cai Yong and said:

"Master Yue, speaking of which, my son-in-law has been really worried about an important matter recently."

"Oh? Is there anything else that worries you? ”

Lu Bu ignored the ridicule in Cai Yong's words,

Hurriedly replied:

"Master Yue, you should remember Dong Zhuo, right?"

Speaking of Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong's hand suddenly slammed,

"He's been dead for so long, so it's good for you to mention him."

glanced at Cai Yong,

found a subtle sadness in the depths of his eyes,

Lu Bu didn't say anything about it.

Although Dong Zhuo is a domineering person,

But after he became the ruler of Chang'an,

Whatever the reason,

After all, I have a lot of respect for the literati.

He also asked him many times to come and be an official,

Each time, he wrote the letter by himself, and his words were sincere.

Although Cai Yong politely rejected Dong Zhuo's request,

But I was also very moved.

Put aside the national enmity and family grudges,

In this aspect alone,

Cai Yong didn't have much ill feeling for Dong Zhuo.

Especially the bizarre conversation between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu,

Later, the people close to Lu Bu,

Most of them know about it,

made Cai Yong have some pity for Dong Zhuo.

So at this moment,

When Lu Bu mentioned Dong Zhuo,

There will be that sadness in the depths of Cai Yong's eyes.

"Dong Zhuo is dead, no matter how good his merits are, he will always return dust to dust. Now, the rest of him has been subdued by me, and speaking of which, he is all his own. ”

Lu Bu observed Cai Yong's expression,

found that his expression did not change much,

Only then did he relax and continue:

"Originally, it was a good thing that they came over and our army was greatly strengthened, but now I am in a dilemma."

Cai Yong frowned slightly,

After thinking about it, he spoke:

"Feng Xian is afraid that the world will be angry with you because of Li Ru's past actions, which will affect your reputation?"

Lu Bu closed his mouth and nodded.

"Sizzle——," Cai Yong couldn't help but gasp,

"Rumors are fiercer than tigers, and this is indeed a difficult thing to do."

Gently tap your fingers on the tabletop,

After thinking about it for a while,

Cai Yong then asked:

"Have you figured out how to house these people?"

Lu Bu hurriedly replied:

"The son-in-law and several gentlemen have already discussed countermeasures."

"Huh?"

"The son-in-law intends to let Li Ru and Xu Rong lead the army to conquer the Western Regions."

Cai Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this,

nodded again and again and said:

"This is a good way, although the old man doesn't understand military affairs, but he also knows that the two of them are both literate and martial, and they are once the leaders of the Liangzhou army. Going to the Western Regions can lay a foundation for you. ”

After a pause, he suddenly changed his words and said:

"But how can they rest assured that they are gone? There is a saying that 'the king's life outside will not be affected', if they support their own troops and even gain a firm foothold outside, and then they turn to fight against each other, then isn't it that you are cocooning yourself? ”

Lu Bu rubbed his brows,

Somewhat distressed, he replied:

"The son-in-law and the gentleman are also worried about this matter. Although the descendants of Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong are in my hands, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel. The best thing to do was to send someone with them, but it was too difficult to choose. ”

"Oh? What does this mean? ”

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu with some confusion,

In his opinion,

Now that there is a solution,

Just send someone you can trust.

Lu Bu hurriedly took him with Jia Xu and Tian Feng,

The requirements for the candidates that were discussed together were said one by one,

Cai Yong nodded while listening,

At the same time, his brow furrowed more and more.

"You have analyzed and considered it very thoroughly, so it seems that this candidate is really difficult to choose."

"Who's to say it isn't. Therefore, the son-in-law came to trouble Lord Yuezhang in desperation. ”

Lu Bu hurriedly agreed,

slapped the horse's ass without a trace:

"Lord Yue, you are well-connected and have a very high reputation among Shilin, you can see if there is a suitable candidate and can recommend it to your son-in-law."

"Hmph, guess that you will have to give the old man a problem again."

After pretending to be displeased,

Cai Yong stood up and paced slowly in the study.

Seeing this, Lu Bu understood that the old man was willing to help him find a way,

Don't dare to disturb loudly,

Sit quietly and wait for Cai Yong's reply.

Cai Yong stroked his beard,

The brows are tightly furrowed,

The pace of his feet is also slower and slower.

Wandering around is close to the tea,

Cai Yong still hasn't come up with a suitable candidate,

With a long sigh, he said:

"Hey, this person is really too demanding."

Lu Bu's face was bitter,

But he didn't say anything more,

Originally, he was looking for Cai Yong with the idea of giving it a try.

didn't expect this to be solved so easily,

If it's really that simple,

He wouldn't have been distressed for so long.

Just when Lu Bu's face slowly darkened,

Cai Yong suddenly continued:

"Although this is a very demanding requirement, it is not that there are no suitable candidates......

As soon as I heard that things had taken a turn for the better,

Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up,

Hurriedly got up and asked:

"Master Yue, is there really a suitable candidate?"

Cai Yong's brows were still tightly furrowed,

Nodding his head, he slowly spoke:

"There is indeed a candidate, but the old man is worried about ......"

"Master Yue, I am willing to work hard to overcome any difficulties......"

Cai Yong stretched out his hand and waved,

stopped Lu Bu's next words and said:

"It's not something you can easily solve."

Lu Bu frowned and looked at Cai Yong suspiciously.

Cai Yong saw Lu Bu's expectant look,

Sighed again:

"You'll know this person as soon as I say it."

"Who is he?"

Lu Bu hurriedly asked.

"Lu Zhi Lu Zigan!"

Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong with wide eyes,

I couldn't say a word for a long time.

Cai Yong looked at him strangely,

Puzzled, he said:

"What's wrong? Don't you know this person? ”

When Lu Bu heard this, his head immediately shook like a rattle.

Are you kidding

Before the time traveled to this era,

He is a history professor who specializes in the study of the Three Kingdoms.

How could he not be familiar with Lu Zhi of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty.

In the centuries-long history of the Han Dynasty,

Countless celebrities have emerged,

Six of them have left traces in history.

They are Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin, who are known as the 'Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty'.

and Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, who are known as the 'Three Masters of the Late Han Dynasty'.

The reason why only the six of them are evaluated separately

The main thing is their merits,

The former laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the Han Dynasty,

has made great contributions,

It can be said that without the efforts of the three of them,

It is impossible for Liu Bang to establish the Han Dynasty,

At least not so easily set up.

As for the three people at the end of the Han Dynasty,

It was because they put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion,

Continued the life of the precarious Han Dynasty.

Accounts of the three of them,

There are not too many records in the most widely circulated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms",

just showed his head in the Yellow Turban Rebellion,

and did not elaborate,

and also gave the credit for quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion to other characters.

But on top of the real history,

The three of them were the heroes who suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

But history is always strikingly similar,

The final ending of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty,

A good end, a retreat, a rebellion and being killed,

But then the root cause,

But it's all Liu Bang's distrust and suspicion,

From Liu Bang's point of view,

There was nothing wrong with him doing so.

It's just that it makes people feel sad,

Even Xiao He, who was able to die well,

In fact, it is also due to various reasons,

so that there was no persecution.

Hundreds of years later, however,

The ending of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty is surprisingly similar,

Although none of the three died at the hands of the Han emperor,

But when he made a great contribution,

Both Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were persecuted,

Only Zhu Jun was still treated well by the royal family,

It's really a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhi has a resolute personality,

He once studied under Taiwei Chen Qiu, Daru Ma Rong, etc.,

is the same brother of Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, and Hua Xin.

He successively served as the Taishou of Jiujiang and Lujiang to quell the barbarian rebellion.

Later, together with Ma Riyan and Cai Yong, he surveyed the classic books of Confucianism in the East Pavilion.

and participated in the continuation of the "Han Ji".

At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he was the general of Beizhong Lang,

led the army to engage Zhang Jiao,

He was later framed and imprisoned.

After Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban,

rescued Lu Zhi, so he was reinstated as Shangshu.

It's just that after Dong Zhuo took power,

Because he once admonished against Dong Zhuo,

and was dismissed from his official position,

So he lived in seclusion in the military capital mountains of Shanggu County, Youzhou.

Later, he was invited by Yuan Shao to be a military advisor,

He died in 192 A.D.

Lu Zhi is not only a famous military general,

At the same time, he is also a great Confucian of the world,

And also an excellent teacher,

He has taught many excellent disciples,

For example, Gongsun Zhan, who once served as the Taishou of Liaodong,

and Liu Bei, who later became the emperor of Shu Han,

All had studied under him.

recalled the memories of Lu Zhi again,

At this time, Lu Zhi should have been recruited by Yuan Shao, yes,

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said:

"But, but Lord Lu Zhi, isn't he now serving Yuan Shao?"

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu strangely when he heard this,

"Where did you get the news here, Lu Zhi has been living in seclusion in the mountains of the military capital, even if his proud disciple Gongsun Zan went to invite him, he couldn't see it, let alone Yuan Benchu, who killed his beloved disciple."

Lu Bu immediately closed his mouth when he heard this,

It seems that this is the reaction caused by my little butterfly again,

But in this way, Lu Bu's wish was fulfilled.

Lu Zhi is just as Cai Yong said,

Definitely the best person to serve at this time,

Not one of them.

In terms of ability, he is one of the biggest contributors to quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In terms of qualifications, he has a rich resume, has made many military exploits, and has also proofread Confucian classics.

In terms of fame, he is a famous teacher, and several Confucians are brothers and sisters.

In any way,

He is enough to serve as the main general of the expedition to the Western Regions,

And it can also steadily deter Li Ru and others,

can make Lu Bu completely reassured.

But as Cai Yong said,

It's not easy to convince him.

After all, the grudge between her and Dong Zhuo is not small.

Let him work with Li Ru now,

That's just too difficult,

And whether he is willing to serve Lu Bu,

It's still an unknown thing.

Lu Bu couldn't help but scratch his head in distress,

I couldn't help but cry bitterly in my heart.

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu's expression,

Opened his mouth to persuade:

"But it's man-made, it's not that you don't have a chance, it's just a little more difficult."

After a pause, he continued:

"It just so happened that some time ago, I wrote to him and asked him to come and work with me to compile the school textbook. Maybe you can take this opportunity to ......"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this,

Pleasantly surprised:

"Master Yue, will he really come here?"

"This is natural, am I still going to blame you?"

Cai Yong glanced at Lu Bu with some displeasure.

Lu Bu scratched his head in embarrassment,

hurriedly opened his mouth to defend:

"Master Yue, I didn't mean that, I was just a little too excited."

Cai Yong snorted,

didn't really get angry with Lu Bu because of this matter,

Slowly explained:

"Alas, Lu Zigan is also a hard-working person. Although he is concerned about the Han family, he has had a rough life. ”

Lu Bu nodded understandingly,

He let out a long sigh and did not speak.

Cai Yong then spoke:

"In the past, because of Dong Zhuo's opposition to the abolition of the young emperor, after Dong Zhuo was dismissed from his official position, he lived in seclusion in the mountains of the military capital of Shanggu, except for a few of our old friends, even his disciples were not seen."

"So Master Yue-in-law has a lot of dealings with him?"

Lu Bu asked curiously.

"It's hard to say that he has been in constant contact, but after all these things, he has been a little discouraged and has less contact with us. Some time ago, when I was working on a school textbook, I wanted to ask him to come and help, so I wrote a few letters. When you were in the Western Regions, we made an appointment to come to Bingzhou to find me, one is to ask him to help me with this old bone, and the other is to hope that he can do something and not be decadent. ”

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he took a sip of tea,

His eyes slowly became a little hollow,

seems to be recalling the eventful years of the past,

"I think about how high-spirited Lu Zigan was at the beginning, when he was young, he pacified the chaos twice and made great achievements, which can be described as a young man's ambition. Then he took the initiative to ask Ying, the old man, Ma Riyan and others to proofread the Confucian classics, and he also worked hard. ”

After a pause, Cai Yong continued:

"It has always been reused by the imperial court. Later, the rebellion was rampant due to the sluggishness of the dynasty, and he and Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei were ordered to be in danger, and the three of them worked together to save the building and the general, but when they were about to succeed, they encountered a traitorous eunuch framed, causing a generation of Zhongliang to suffer from prison, and it was at this time that he began to gradually become disappointed. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Yong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh,

As if sighing about what happened to an old friend,

also seems to remember his own ill-fated fate.

Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong's gloomy expression,

seems to understand Cai Yong's inner changes at this time,

Hurriedly opened his mouth and comforted:

"Master Yue, it is precisely because we have experienced hardships that we need to work hard so that the people around us and behind us will not repeat the mistakes of the past!"
