In the village, the elders in the sheep felt tent have not yet gone to bed, and the houses living in the village are still lit with candles.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, hearing that the Huns are coming, Lu Bu has been out with the Han soldiers for two hours, and he has not returned for a long time, I am afraid that he is in big trouble.

The Great Elder looked up at a few dim stars in the sky and asked the clansmen beside him, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the Great Elder, it's time to go." The clansman replied respectfully.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement around the quiet surroundings, and the Great Elder sighed and ordered: "Let all households bring their belongings and prepare to leave." ”

Lu Bu's failure to return made the Great Elder have to plan for the worst. If Lu Bu failed to let the Huns retreat, then with the temperament of the Huns, he would definitely not let them go.

It's better to leave early.

The Qiang people in the village soon gathered in front of the Great Elder, dragging their families with torches in their hands, and looking at the most prestigious old man in the clan in front of them.

It was not easy for them to adapt to a settled life, and now they are going to leave a foreign country, and they are a hundred reluctant in their hearts. But the Huns may enter their village at any time, and life and stability are naturally more important to the former.

After counting the number of people in the village, the great elder led the Qiang people out of the village.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the village, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him came softly, and countless torches emitted a red glow in the dark night.

"Great Elder, where are you going?" Lu Bu stepped forward and took the initiative to ask. In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping at home, he took the whole village out, what kind of trouble is this?

"General Lu is back!"

"It's General Lu!"

"General Lu defeated the Huns, we don't have to flee elsewhere!"

“……”

When the Qiang people saw Lu Bu, they immediately cheered and shouted, and their tense nerves were loosened.

Lu Bu was able to return with the soldiers safe and sound, which means that the battle was won.

With the support of the clansmen, the great elder stepped forward, and there was a trace of shame on the dry face of the old man: "I am ashamed to say that the old man has not seen the return of General Lu for a long time, and he thought that there were variables in this matter, so he made an idea to take the clansmen to a safe place and avoid the Huns for the time being." ”

Lu Bu knew that it was normal for the Great Elder to have this kind of thought.

The eyes of the Qiang people were full of expectation, and Lu Bu naturally would not let them down, and said loudly in front of everyone: "You are all my Han people, and as a general, I will definitely protect you." Regarding the previous accident, I have asked the Huns for 100,000 stone of grain for compensation. ”

100,000 stones!

The Qiang people suddenly exploded, in this era of famine, 100,000 stone of grain is enough for their entire Qiang tribe to eat for more than a month. With a little moderation, it won't be a problem to get through this winter.

Lu Bu wanted to give all the 100,000 stone grain to the Qiang people, which the Qiang people never expected, and they were already very satisfied to be able to drive away the Huns, how dare they have other extravagant hopes.

In their opinion, Lu Bu mentioned that he had asked for 100,000 stone of grain, which should also be used for his own use as military food.

But now Lu Bu said that he would give them the 100,000 stone of grain, how generous this is!

For a while, all the Qiang people were stunned in place, unable to say a word for a long time.

The general is generous! General Rende!

This is the common cry of all Qiang people from the bottom of their hearts.

"From today on, my Qiang sons are willing to respect the general, go to the soup and go to the fire, and have nothing to say."

The Great Elder broke free of the support of his clansmen and knelt in front of Lu Bu, clasping his hands into fists, and there was a sonorous voice in Cang Lao's voice.

The Huns came to attack, forcibly seized and killed the people. At this time of crisis, only the young people in front of them stepped forward and not only relieved them of this calamity, but also asked for 100,000 stone of food for them.

Even from the beginning to the end, he did not mention the slightest demand.

In the past, it was always said that the Han people were treacherous and cunning, but there were also loyal and courageous people, didn't they?

"The general is respected, and there is nothing to be done!"

"The general is respected, and there is nothing to be done!"

When the Qiang people saw the Great Elder kneeling, they all knelt on the dirt road, looked at the Han general with reverence, and roared loudly.

Lu Bu hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped the old man in front of him, looked at the Qiang people kneeling all over the road, and said loudly: "Qiang warriors, get up quickly." Lu is just fulfilling his duties, protecting the country and the people, and he can't afford to be worshiped by everyone, so don't break the boy. ”

As the so-called intentional planting of flowers does not bloom, unintentionally planted willows and willows into the shade.

Before, the skin of the mouth in Beidi County was about to wear out, and the Great Elder didn't nod his head and squeak, but now he just wanted to take the opportunity to deter the Huns, but unexpectedly won the allegiance of the Qiang people.

He said humble words on his lips, and at the bottom of his heart, he knew the joy that only he knew.

The girl in the crowd looked up, and the tall man in front of her who was talking to the Great Elder had a pure smile.

In the beautiful peach blossom eyes, quietly, they are full of stars.

After staying in the village for one night, Lü Bu was going to lead his army back to the county early the next morning.

In order to prevent the Huns from cheating, Lu Bu deliberately left Wei Musheng here and allocated him 2,000 cavalry.

Now there are a lot of generals under Lu Bu, and they can fight more, but if you want to say that you can coordinate the overall situation and lead the generals alone, in addition to Gao Shun, only Wei Musheng can take on the big responsibility.

Zhang Liao is a usable talent, but after all, he is only fifteen years old and still needs to be sharpened.

Regarding Lu Bu's assignment, the Great Elder had no complaints, even if Lu Bu didn't send someone to stay, he would also take the initiative to request.

After the invasion of the Huns, the Great Elder also understood a lot. In this world, no matter when, strength is always supreme, even if you want to be reasonable, you must first have the strength to make others obedient.

In the grateful eyes of the Qiang people, Lu Bu led the team and slowly walked away.

It wasn't until thousands of figures disappeared from view that the Great Elder withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the young generals left behind beside him, and said with a casual smile: "General Wei is really young and promising, and before he was established, he has become a lieutenant colonel in the army, and his future will definitely be limitless." If there is any offense to the old decay, please bear with me. ”

Everyone likes to listen to praise, and Wei Musheng will be no exception, the Great Elder is so kind, he also arched his hand: "The Great Elder is serious, he is only a scout, and he was entrusted with the position of captain thanks to the general's care." ”

If you want to talk about the future, Zhang Yi promised the post of General Wei Musheng at the beginning, you must know that Lu Bu was just a captain at that time. In the face of such great personal interests, Wei Musheng chose to stay by Lu Bu's side and be willing to be a subordinate.

To this day, he has never regretted it.

"General Lu is extraordinary, so he should have taken a lot of concubines, right?" The Great Elder asked seemingly casually.

Wei Musheng shook his head very sincerely, and said: "My general has only one wife, and now he has a little daughter, and he has not yet accepted a concubine. ”

"It shouldn't be, with General Lu's current status, how could no one come to the door to mention the matter of marrying?" The Great Elder wondered.

If it were replaced by Cao Xing, it would definitely be a lot of talk at this time. But Wei Musheng was different, he had already keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy, the old man in front of him was not an ordinary Qiang person, but a great elder of the Qiang clan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why does the Great Elder ask this?" ”

The wise light in the old man's eyes flashed, and he replied with a smile: "Ask casually." ”
