Chapter 268: Lu Bu wants to be a general
"Why did Taishou say that?" After Liu Tao said this, Lu Bu became vigilant.
"There's no need to be so nervous...... Liu Tao said with a smile, "It's just a military candidate, Ben Taishou, or Ben General doesn't need to calculate you." I am an Aicai, and I think that a character like Lu Junhou can only be a soldier, which is a bit wasteful. If the captain of Wuyuan can't give it to you, I can give it to you! ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then felt a sense of frustration, indeed, Liu Tao's identity, there is no need to calculate him.
He is a general, although this Zhenbei general, even the captain of Wuyuan has never seen it before, and he doesn't know what his specific duties are. That is, it is difficult to say exactly how much power there is!
Once the lieutenant was drunk, and Lu Bu even heard him complain: No, the border army of our state is under his control, right?
"You should know that Your Majesty appointed me as the general of Zhenbei, strictly speaking, there is no provision for my authority, but only to guard Yunzhong County...... If I wanted to, I could take over the defense of the five border counties of the state. Liu Tao replied, "Even I have the power to appoint some lieutenants and some miscellaneous generals." ”
Seeing that Lu Bu's expression began to be cloudy, he continued: "I am very optimistic about you, with Fengxian's talent, you should not waste your time in the position of military waiter. If you will come and serve under me...... At least one other Sima. ”
"Then, what should Lu do to get a captain?" Lu Bu did not directly thank Dade, but directly added a counteroffer. The lower limit is the other Sima, which means that there is an upper limit.
His reaction made Liu Tao indeed a little uncomfortable, after all, he felt that he did not have the modesty of people of this era, as if he was full of ambition. No, no, no, it should be more frank, unabashedly ambitious, or rather self-confidence.
He has ambition and ability, but he can't get the position he deserves, which is his biggest resentment. Thinking about it this way, Ding Yuan's killing is actually not wronged. It's just that this character is indeed different from the Han people in the traditional sense.
Lu Bu was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, and the number of Han people there was only about 22,000 40 years ago. Therefore, Lu Bu has a part of the blood of the Hu people, and later generations also have this saying.
The main thing is that the customs are different from the Han people, so they are not liked by the scholars...... Now it seems that there must be Han nationality, that is, the Han people are not fake. It's just that in terms of personality, it is estimated that it is somewhat influenced by the Hu people over there.
"I don't hate ambitious people!" Liu Tao looked at him with interest, "I need you to dig up some people in the border army, after all, since you want to be a captain, or even a general, how can you do without subordinates?" ”
"My five hundred people are all my cronies, and they can stay." Lu Bu said.
"No, no, no, the officers can stay, but the non-commissioned officers can't stay, otherwise Captain Wuyuan will be eager to kill me." Liu Tao shook his head, "There are some things that need to be leeway, so that everyone will not be embarrassed when they meet in the future." ”
"I don't know much about it, I only know that the strong can decide everything, and the weak can only passively accept everything." Lu Bu shook his head.
"Most of the border troops think like this?" Liu Tao asked rhetorically.
"I don't know! It's just that such a saying prevails here itself, the weak, and even don't live long. Lu Bu replied.
"It seems that the people here are quite easy to deal with." Liu Tao said with a smile, "Okay, as long as you keep these people or not, there is a list here, if you can pull them over, then I can directly crown you as General Pingdi." ”
Di refers to the alien race in the north, and General Pindi literally means the general who destroys the alien invaders.
General Pingdi was set up in the Western Han Dynasty, and then Cao Cao re-set it during the Jian'an period, and General Pingdi at that time was Zhang He. Liu Tao set it up in advance, and it was not a foul, after all, he was also a general of Zhenbei.
In addition, I have vaguely seen that General Pingdi is the third grade, and General Zhenbei is the second grade, which can be regarded as a superior-subordinate relationship. Anyway, the military system from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period was actually quite chaotic, and the princes set up various miscellaneous generals, otherwise Liu Tao would not even know that the four expeditions, four towns, four pings and four 'an generals were not established......
Especially Liu Hong, the emperor, still innovates from time to time, not to mention the four middle generals in the east, west, north and south, as well as the left and right car generals. Now that he is a general of Zhenbei, Liu Tao is too lazy to complain.
"Okay!" Knowing that General Pingdi was a miscellaneous general, but the authority to listen to the name was not small, Lu Bu naturally readily agreed. Then take the list and take a look, and be overjoyed!
Immediately took the list, looked at Liu Tao and said: "Taishou doesn't know, these on this list are all familiar to Lu!" ”
Could it be that you know each other? Liu Tao complained in his heart, deducting one Zang Ba who Lu Bu didn't know yet, the others were originally the eight strong generals under his command, and at most one Gao Shun was counted.
"Only this Gao Shun is silent, which is a bit difficult." Lu Bu pointed to Gao Shun's name on the list and said. Obviously, during this period, Gao Shun was not under his command, at least he had not pledged allegiance to him.
This is a good thing for Liu Tao, if he can, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he plans to recruit them himself.
"It's okay, just do your best." Liu Tao said with a smile, "Anyway, how many people can be pulled over will determine Fengxian's achievements." ”
"My subordinates will do their best." Lu Bu nodded, he was already considered at this moment, and regarded himself as Liu Tao's subordinate.
"If it's late today, it's not good to disturb Feng Xian's rest, tomorrow night I will have a banquet in the mansion, and by the way, I will introduce Feng Xian to everyone. I won't hide it from you, many of my people have heard that you are brave and plan to have a fight with you. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"The subordinates also want to see and understand, the strong generals under the command of Taishou!" Lu Bu was not afraid of the slightest discussion, or rather, since joining the army in Wuyuan, he has not been able to find an opponent in the past three years.
He always felt that if he continued like this, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to make progress, and if he had the opportunity, he still wanted to challenge the strong more. Unlike in the later period, when he focused on his career and ambition, he is still young, and he still attaches great importance to martial arts, the biggest capital.
"That's good, Bong first and have a good rest." Liu Tao smiled, then said goodbye and left.
"Fengxian, do we really want to work for that Taishou?" The relatives walked out after a while.
"Ziji, look at this list, your name is also on it!" Lu Bu laughed and handed over the list, and on this list, there was Wei Xu's name.
"Ha, this is so interesting, and my name is in it." Seeing this, Wei Xu was actually a little surprised.
"It's just...... I'm weird. Lu Bu frowned, "He seems to understand me very well, and even if he is rude to me, he can be surprised and seems to know me very well." But the problem is, we only met for the first time......"
Especially this list, almost all of the talents in his social circle, even he recognizes. Because of this, I feel a little scary, you know, this is too guarded, it has only been about three or four months.
"He's been here for three or four months, and it's not easy to send someone to find out about our situation?" Wei Xu didn't think it was that complicated.
"Indeed, it doesn't matter how he knows." Lu Bu nodded, "The position of general is too attractive to me!" Missing this one, I can't guarantee if there will be a next one...... People live for a lifetime, and when it is time to fight, they have to fight! ”
