Chapter 106: Backsliding
If Hua Xing or Tang Sheng were to identify themselves, Hou and Wei would probably argue hard.
But now, seeing that all the words were uttered by Gao Shun, no matter how much they argued, it was useless, so they simply admitted the charge.
"General Qiyu, those old and weak soldiers...... Alas! It was me and General Wei who swapped it. Hou Cheng took the lead in getting up and said:
"However, we don't want Huaxing to really take the remnants of the army to the battle, it's just ......"
But before Hou Cheng finished speaking, he saw Lu Bu suddenly get up from his seat, slam the wine glass on the ground, and shouted angrily:
"Same camp, same team! But you two did such a thing! Alas......"
After a helpless and indignant sigh, he saw Lu Bu glaring at him and ordered sharply:
"Wei Xu and Hou Cheng listen to orders! From now on, you will be fined two officials who will be demoted by one level and suspended for half a year! If you dare to act recklessly and frame your colleagues in the future, this general will definitely be severely punished! β
After listening to Lu Bu's military order, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu didn't dare to say a word.
Immediately lowered his head, stood still, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face finally showed a strong sense of remorse!
β¦β¦
Back in Hongnong, Huaxing's life returned to his daily pattern: "meetings" in the morning and "hanging out" in the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived the next day, Tang Sheng came to him and asked him a question: Why didn't Huaxing strive for rewards for himself at the celebration banquet, but gave three opportunities to others?
In this regard, Huaxing just smiled slightly and did not give any reply.
But in his heart, he knew the reason for this move:
First of all, the reason why he joined LΓΌ Jun was to assassinate LΓΌ Bu, not to develop here for a long time.
So official positions, titles, etc., don't mean much to him. Even if you get it, you will eventually lose it.
Secondly, in order to get close to Lu Bu, Huaxing really needs to win the trust of the other party.
But in Lu Bujun, the level of official position and trust are not directly equated, which Huaxing has long seen clearly.
is like Hou Cheng and Song Xian, they are both Sanpin generals, but they have not been able to get permission to enter and leave the Lu Mansion freely.
On the contrary, Zhang Liao, who has a lower official position, got a pass to the Lu Mansion a long time ago.
Since the promotion of official position does not help him get closer to his goal, there is little point in him pursuing this matter.
So after thinking twice, Huaxing still left that precious opportunity to Tang Sheng and the soldiers who walked with him.
But as the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you won't know if you're blessed.
Just three days later, Huaxing ushered in a good news.
Although Lu Bu said at the celebration banquet that if Huaxing did not ask for it, he would no longer canonize Huaxing.
What is surprising is that Lu Bu actually "went back on his word"! He finally promoted Hua Xing to the rank of official and named Hua Xing as General Sanpin Anton.
To say that this General Anton is much more powerful than the titles that Huaxing got before.
Among all the Sanpin generals, the highest status is the Si'an general (Andong, Annan, Anxi, and Anbei).
And General Anton is the first of the four security.
Therefore, among all the Sanpin generals, Huaxing's status is definitely the highest.
Looking at it, now in Lu Bu's army, in terms of official position alone, Huaxing has been firmly in the top ten.
In addition to canonizing the general, Lu Bu also rewarded an additional hundred taels of silver and a few jewels with Huaxing patterns as a reward.
As soon as he got the silver, Huaxing couldn't help but think of his lieutenant Tang Sheng.
In Qiankun Mountain before, he did not exploit the son of this merchant.
It was to ask the family to pay a bounty and buy props, and it really cost Tang Sheng a lot of money.
So, Huaxing called Tang Sheng as soon as possible, wanting to supply the silver to the other party.
Unexpectedly, after knowing Huaxing's intentions, Tang Sheng refused to accept it.
Without waiting for Huaxing to finish speaking, this kid ran out of Huaxing's dormitory, making Huaxing shake his head.
β¦β¦
After another two days, it felt that the time was almost up, and Huaxing came to the vicinity of Lu Mansion on a hot afternoon.
Hiding in the corner of the street, Hua Xing stared at the four soldiers guarding the door, biting his lip and thinking, but he didn't show up for a long time.
After two or three minutes of speculation, he let out a long breath and strode towards the main entrance with an anxious face, intending to do another "breakthrough" test.
"Stop! Who is coming? β
Five or six meters away from the gate, Huaxing was stopped by the guards.
"Get out of the way! I have something important to tell General Lu! Although Huaxing stopped at his feet, there was no compromise on his face, and he shouted loudly.
Since Hua Xing was not wearing armor today, he was just dressed as a civilian, and these soldiers didn't recognize him just now.
It wasn't until Hua Xing walked to the door that the soldiers saw his appearance clearly, and their faces immediately showed panic:
"Originally, it turned out to be General Hua! The end will be rude! β
Before going on the expedition, Huaxing had tried many times at the gate of Lufu.
Not only did he fail again and again, but the gatekeepers never took themselves seriously.
It's the first time Huaxing has seen such a reaction like today. It seems that the battle of Qiankun Mountain did set up a lot of military prestige for him.
"Well, it doesn't matter! Hurry up and get out of here! β
After speaking, Huaxing walked towards the courtyard as if he was going back to his own home, wanting to break through the gate in this way.
But unfortunately, although the soldiers were in awe, out of their own responsibility, they still stopped Huaxing as before:
"General Hua, please stay! That, that...... General Lu was not in the mansion at the moment, he went to the west of the city to hunt. You see if it's ......, or not."
Seeing that he still couldn't enter, Huaxing sighed secretly.
But he didn't give up on the spot, and soon spoke again:
"Oh, I know! Then I'll wait for him in the yard for a while, it's always okay, right? β
"I'm really sorry, General Hua, this ...... Not at all! Except for a few adults with the permission of the general, no one else is allowed to enter. I hope the general will forgive me! The guard replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Huaxing knew that his experiment had failed again today.
Although the attitude of the guards has improved greatly compared to before. But the result was the same, he still couldn't come and go freely.
Of course, Huaxing also considered it, and if it really didn't work, he relied on force to forcibly break through the gate of Lu Mansion.
The four soldiers looked like they were tall and big, but it was impossible to stop them.
If it goes well, within two minutes, Huaxing will be able to knock all four people to the ground.
But once he did this, it would be tantamount to sounding the "alarm" of the Lu Mansion.
Regardless of whether the four of them were hidden or left here, at the latest, five minutes later, the soldiers patrolling around the Lu Mansion would find that there was something wrong with the gate.
This means that Huaxing must be completed within five minutes from entering the house to leaving.
If it's just going to go in for a spin or steal something, five minutes is more than enough.
However, his goal is to kill Lu Bu, who is known as the God of War of the Three Kingdoms!
Only five minutes of his time is obviously not enough.
It is very likely that he was not killed, and he himself was surrounded by the guards, and finally died here.
Therefore, although the strong burst can solve the immediate problem, it has a great impact on the follow-up plan, and it was quickly denied by Huaxing.
If he wants to enter the gate of the Lu Mansion, it seems that he has to work harder......
