Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 33 Past and Present
As night fell, the outside of Luoyang finally calmed down after the thrilling chaos of the day. However, the dense firelight of the military camps in Luoyang and outside the city reminded people that the threat of war was still potential.
In the night, Nanying quietly watched the firelight in the distance. He took a piece of jerky from his backpack and put it in his mouth, chewing it gently, but his mind was still thinking about what he had seen a few hours ago.
Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others openly disobeyed Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan unexpectedly wanted to kill Zhang Liao, but Lu Bu stabbed him to death behind Huang Que...... Compared to the soldiers on both sides who originally thought that there would be a bloody battle, this is tantamount to a legendary story full of drama, and for the weak defender, it is even more joyful.
In today's battle, Lu Bu's name is destined to shake the world. Under the watchful eye, in the name of loyalty to the Han family, he killed the lord in order to save his subordinates, not only did he not suffer from being criticized by the people of the world, but he was replaced by the respect and love of most of the soldiers of the state army. Although thousands of soldiers asked him to resign on the grounds of returning to his homeland, Lu Bu not only let them go, but also gave them a small number of military rations in the army, showing the demeanor of a general with affection and righteousness.
Yuan Shao lost no time in handing him an olive branch, and bitterly persuaded Lu Bu to temporarily camp outside the city, wait for the court to allocate military supplies, and wait for the promotion of grace, and his intention to win over was clearly revealed. However, Dong Zhuo unexpectedly did not show too much enthusiasm, which made Nan Ying hesitate at a time, and he was at a loss to know whether such an ending had caused a butterfly effect that changed history because of what he did.
In order to further investigate the direction of the situation, Nan Ying thought twice and decided to stay in danger for another night, and when the night was deeper, he would try to touch Lu Bu's camp and have a long talk with him. It is best to be able to induce him to join the Bohai side, but at worst, it must shake his mind of choosing between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao.
Southern Eagle's hiding place at this time was still on the hill where he watched the battle during the day. It's just because this is undoubtedly the closest safe place to Lu Bu's military camp. In the daytime battle, none of the scouts on either side had come within a hundred paces of the hill, apparently believing that the hill could neither hide ambushes nor transmit information, and therefore had no reconnaissance value at all.
A smile welled on his lips....... I was lucky to be able to find such a good place for solo soldiers to lurk! If it weren't for that, how could he, Nanying, dare to easily put himself in danger of being surrounded by many people?
He sat down slowly, settling in the most relaxed position, loosening his muscles while his powerful spiritual sense was fully released. Catch the wind and grass under the night sky...... He needs to wait for the most opportune moment.
I don't know how long it has been, just as Nanying was about to recover from his dry sitting, when suddenly the sound of wind in his clothes sounded faintly, and at least two or three people with excellent skills were hurrying towards the hill.
Nan Ying's heart was slightly shocked, he quietly changed his posture, avoiding the direction that his pupils might reflect the glimmer of the stars and moon, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked condescendingly in the direction of the comer.
In the dark and hazy night, two figures rose into the air. Like a night owl, it easily swept over the ditch under the mountain, which was more than a foot wide, and landed gently on the ground, standing still.
Nanying was even more surprised, the two of them arrived late at night. Apparently not because he discovered his whereabouts. So according to his such clever skills, no matter where he is placed, he should be a well-known character, if he wants to do important things at night, he will enter the secret room of the high house. If you go out, you are like a cloud, how can you do such a sneaky act for no reason?
Knowing that the other party is strong, in order to avoid arousing the other party's induction. Nanying simply closed his eyes, not daring to look at each other anymore, and purely captured and locked the opponent with his spiritual sense and sense, and let him move and be still, he was also under control.
After a while, I heard one of the two people shouting, "Here!" ”
"Yes!" Another person smiled and said, "It's finally here!" ”
Nanying knows that because he is still far away from the mountain, he is still one step slower than the two people under the mountain in terms of investigation, so it can be seen that not only the first two are smart, but the later people are also masters, otherwise Nanying should be able to peek through his hiding outside of Lixu.
He faintly felt that something was wrong, because although the two of them spoke briefly, their voices were extremely familiar, and they must be his acquaintances.
Nanying couldn't help but open his eyes again, only to see a figure slowly walking out in the dark night, until the side of the ditch stopped, but did not jump, only across the ditch from the two who arrived first.
Nan Ying vaguely felt that the figure of the man was also familiar, and he was hesitating, and suddenly he only heard the man speak, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
I heard the man say lightly: "I'm here!" Now you can explain your next steps! ”
That person's voice was calm and majestic, sonorous and powerful, and it was Lu Bu who had done a shocking act during the day.
Nanying was completely unclear for a while, and couldn't imagine why Lu Bu would come here to meet with people when the army's heart was undecided.
"Bong first hard work! This time, it is up to you to turn the tide of danger! On the other side of the ditch, a person let out a low laugh: "Who said that Lu Fengxian is brave and unparalleled in the world?" His wisdom is also rare in the world! ”
Nan Ying heard the man's voice clearly, and immediately struck like a lightning strike....... it was Dong Zhuo!
In an instant, Nanying felt like his heart was soaked in snow water, and his whole body was cold. Originally, he only said that he had inadvertently changed the trend of history, which made it difficult for Lu Bu to collude with Dong Zhuoxin, but he didn't know that this was just his wishful thinking. And listening to the conversation between the two, there has been a connection for a long time, what is going on?
"Nothing! Ding Yuan's qi is narrow, looking forward and backward, he is definitely not a person who has achieved great things, but you made me lurk on his side, and I have endured it so far! Lu Bu shook his head and said: "It's just that this time it's really a bit of a fluke, if it weren't for me burning the military rations of the Bingzhou army, which caused the morale of the whole army to drop greatly, even if I can kill Ding Yuan today, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary casualties!" ”
Nanying couldn't believe his ears....... Lu Bu was actually an undercover agent who had been lurking by Ding Yuan's side early in the morning? When did he hook up with Dong Zhuo? It must have been after the battle in Yiyang that day! There was also the grain burning incident that caused Ding Yuan to directly march into Luoyang and even caused him to betray his relatives, which was also from Lu Bu, his scheming was really terrible! I was afraid that Ding Yuan would not be vigilant at all until he died.......
Wary? Nanying thought of these two words, and the alarm in his heart was even worse, Lu Bu, Lu Bu, what kind of person are you? If he still visits Lu Bu at night today as originally planned, will it be a suicide act of throwing himself into a snare?
"It's been four or five years in a flash, and Feng Xian has been wronged!" Dong Zhuo's words of relief once again confirmed Nanying's prediction of the time for Lu Bu to join Dong. I only heard him say again: "As long as Feng Xian does one more thing for me, you and I can sit back and relax in the imperial capital, and then share the world together!" ”
"You say you own the imperial capital?" Lu Bu said in a calm tone: "Is it for me to get rid of Er Yuan by surprise?" ”
"Feng Xian is really wise!" Dong Zhuo slapped his palms and said happily: "Now that Ding Yuan is dead, there are still nearly 10,000 elite soldiers stationed outside the city of the 14,000 army of the state army, who doesn't want Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to take it into their palms?" Look at ....... today."
He lowered his voice and said, "In Yuan Shao's eyes when he looks at you, his eagerness is as if he has met a treasure in the world!" Because in his mind, as long as you Lu Fengxian are willing to join forces with him and want to level my Dong Zhuo and subdue Yuan Highway, it is not all between the backhand? ”
"What should I do?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Please Dong Gong make it clear!" ”
"You just have to keep putting your troops in order for now. Once again, the combat power was formed, and at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, Yuan Shao revealed his willingness to increase food and salary! Dong Zhuo groaned: "First, you can calm your heart, and second, you can also solve the current urgent need, otherwise how the soldiers of Ren and the state army love you, you will rebel on an empty stomach...... Ding Yuan is a prime example! ”
"As long as the food and salary are in place, I will break with him openly without waiting for Yuan Shao to force you to make any promises!" Dong Zhuo smiled yin: "At that time, you and I will join forces." Will he be able to fight? Let him have a deep background, and he can only end in disgrace! ”
The more Nan Ying listened, the more shocked he became, he could almost imagine Yuan Shao's panic when he faced Lu Bu's sudden choice of Dong Zhuo's camp in the future....... no wonder in history Dong Zhuo firmly occupied the imperial capital with only a few thousand men, but instead forced Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the representatives of famous families, to escape from Luoyang. Originally, he had already laid down his backhand.
"Dong Gong is indeed a last resort!" Lu Bu hesitated slightly, and then said: "However, after Dong Gong takes control of the imperial capital, does his commitment to me still count?" ”
"Bongxian rest assured!" Dong Zhuo's faction was resolute: "What the general promised, not only all promises." I will also make you my heir...... I lost my son at an early age, and I still don't have an heir, you know, right? ”
"I'm over 50 years old. In terms of age, he is a father who deserves to be the first! He smiled and said, "Feng Xian shouldn't think that this is trying to take advantage of you, right?" ”
"Thank you, Dong Gong!" Lu Bu's voice, which had been flat, finally made a wave.
He seemed to be in a good mood and turned to the other person on the other side who had not said a word, and said with a smile: "General Hua, I have offended today!" ”
Nanying suddenly realized, no wonder Dong Zhuo dared to venture so far at night, it turned out that the other person who accompanied the escort was Hua Xiong...... The suspicion in his heart reappeared, and today he saw it in the telescope, Hua Xiong and Lu Bu were real when they faced off, and there was nothing wrong with even the dialogue, if the two of them could secretly communicate in front of the Wan Jun and work together to promote the result of Ding Yuan's killing, then the acting skills of these two can be nominated for the highest award in the modern entertainment industry!
"General Lu is polite!" Hua Xiong's heavy voice sounded: "The last general never dreamed that General Lu would be his own person, but it's ridiculous that the last general has been thinking about competing with the general, it's really unbelievable...... If it weren't for the general saying the word 'one move' in front of the two armies, the last general would still be completely in the dark! ”
I see! Nanying was almost stunned, it turned out that Hua Xiong did not know Lu Bu's identity before, and only temporarily woke up from the word "one move". In this way, he was defeated by Lu Bu at the time of his move, and there was also an element of water release, otherwise Ren Lu Bu had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and it would never be possible to reach a height that even Wang Yue and Zhang Jiao could not reach.
"I heard before that General Hua was ordered by Dong Gong to go after Nanying?" Lu Bu's words once again carried a hint of hesitation: "I don't know if it? ”
"Yes!" Hua Xiong nodded and said, "The last general and General Guo Yan chased after Nanying, and as soon as they crossed the Yellow River, they received an urgent report from Dong Gong's messenger, ordering us to return to the division to help...... I was still surprised that Dong Gong was well-informed, and it turned out that Feng Xian had informed him in advance, so it was no wonder that Yan Liang and Wen Chou had not been able to return to Luoyang so far! ”
"I knew that Feng Xian was so confident that he would easily kill Ding Yuan, how could I urgently call you back to the army?" Dong Zhuoruo said with regret: "Except for the Yuan brothers, only this Nanying is a character who makes me sleep!" ”
"Gong Dong, the last general still has a reluctant request, I hope you can understand!" Lu Bu suddenly said in a deep voice: "I know that you and Nanying are friends and foes, but I still want to ask Dong Gong's permission to ...... Unless Nanying takes the initiative to attack, Bu will never be the first to ask him! ”
What the? Nanying's heart shook when he heard this, and he almost gasped for air.
"What?" Dong Zhuo's voice was obviously cold: "You will soon become the number one general of my subordinates, and even take charge of the conquest as the heir!" The Southern Eagle is my number one enemy, how can you avoid fighting against him? ”
"Give me a reason to weigh enough!" He said coldly: "Otherwise, it is hard to guarantee that I will not have doubts about your loyalty!" ”
"Don't hide it from Dong Gong, you should still remember, right? When you knew the grace of the day, Bu mentioned it......" Lu Bu seemed to take a deep breath, and then smiled helplessly.
"You said, including myself, you have only received two kindnesses in your life...... Dong Zhuo was taken aback and blurted out: "Could it be that the other person is Nanying?" ”
"Not bad! It's a pity that Nanying at that time also concealed his real name and surname, not that the last general deliberately covered up the truth in front of Dong Gong! Lu Bu said bitterly, he was stunned: "However, since the last general has chosen to vote for Dong Gong, he is destined to be unable to repay this affection, how can you bear to make me swagger against him again?" ”
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still hesitating, he said earnestly again: "Dong Gong, the last general will be a lonely person and self-appreciation, and he has never been favored by people, but once he receives favor, he will repay the spring...... Didn't you also take a fancy to the sincerity of the last general? If you force the last general to take revenge, what will you think of the last general when you think about it in the future? ”
Nan Ying's heart was stirred when he heard this, he never thought that the intersection with Lu Bu that day would make him still remember it...... Lu Bu, maybe he is still the killing god who treated human life like a mustard back then, but his heart of love and righteousness is absolutely unquestionable!
Dong Zhuo was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Anyway, who taught me to value you so much?" So do it! ”
"Thank you Dong Gongcheng!" Lu Bu said overjoyed.
"However, you and I have to speak first!" Dong Zhuo seemed to be unwilling to say: "If that kid surnamed Nan dares to take the initiative to come to the door, you must stand up and fight!" ”
"That nature!" Lu Bu said calmly: "Please rest assured, Dong Gong!" ”
"Speaking of which......" Dong Zhuo suddenly said curiously: "Obviously, you and Nanying met before you and me, so why did you meet?" ”
"Does Dong Gong know why I said that day that it is impossible to join Yuan Shao's side even if he dies?" Lu Bu smiled and said: "I think back then, the last general killed the people of the Yuan family by mistake, and then they actually mobilized a large number of masters to come to besiege and kill, at this time, the last general ...... with that Nanying."
Just before Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong listened intently, Nan Ying had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't hear a word in his ears anymore, his heart was surging, as if under the guidance of Lu Bu's words, he returned to the time of the day again......
I don't know how long it took, Nan Ying suddenly woke up from his contemplation, only to find that Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong had long since disappeared.
He let out a deep sigh, lay down in the grass, stared up at the starry sky in a daze, and felt in his heart that the world was both true and false, like a dream like fog, and it was difficult to distinguish between the past and the present! (To be continued......)
