Chapter 66: Good news
"Don't change your name in the downstream, don't change your surname, Peng Chengguo Xiang Yu is also!" Xiang Yu reported to his home.
Chen Gong didn't expect that Xiang Yu was really called Xiang Yu.
"I don't know who his parents are, they gave such a name, and they are not afraid of being killed by the court?" Chen Gong thought in his heart and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"In Xia Luocheng."
"In Xia Gaoshun."
Luo Cheng and Gao Shun also came over and saluted Xiang Yu.
"Hmm."
Xiang Yu nodded and said to everyone: "They are all colleagues, you don't have to be polite." β
"Colleague? Could it be that Brother Xiang was sent by the lord to help us? Gao Shun asked.
"Not yet, but when we return to Xiapi City, that's it." Xiang Yupi said with a smile.
The crowd didn't understand, but they didn't ask much.
"Brother Xiang, please." After everyone greeted each other, they took their seats.
After a few bottles of wine, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Luo Cheng finally figured out that this person named Xiang Yu turned out to be Lu Bu's brother-in-law, and his appearance in Donghai County this time was purely a coincidence.
"Hahaha... Brother Xiang actually relied on his own strength to kill the Yuan army and was defeated, and he was really a god. Gao Shun looked adoring.
"I have been galloping on the field for many years, except for the lord, it is Brother Xiang who I admire the most, I respect Brother Xiang and show respect." Luo Cheng raised the bottle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the previous battle is our common credit, how can you say it, as if I defeated Yuan Jun by myself, I, Xiang Yu, have just arrived, but I don't want to be greedy for merit."
Chen Gong also raised the wine bottle and said with a smile: "General Xiang doesn't have to be humble, if it weren't for General Xiang taking the lead, how would we dare to lead the army to chase and kill?" Besides, General Luo and General Gao don't praise people casually, and the courage of the generals is indeed admirable. β
Xiang Yu was a little confused...
He originally wanted to put on a shelf and give Chen Gaoluo a dismount, but now it seems that there is no need at all, people worship you so much, how can you keep a straight face.
So, after a while in his heart, he also smiled aloud and said, "Okay, I respect you!" β
All night, they drank and talked, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Especially Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng is Lu Bu's brother-in-law, and Xiang Yu is Lu Bu's brother-in-law, the brother-in-law of the brother-in-law, isn't it also a brother-in-law, in the final analysis, it is still his own family. Therefore, among the four of them, Luo Cheng and Xiang Yu have the best relationship, and they have a feeling of seeing each other late and becoming acquainted.
The next day, Chen Gong received news that Zhang Xun and Lei Bo's troops had withdrawn in the early morning and headed for Huainan.
After the generals deliberated, it was decided that the class teacher would return to Xiapi.
A few days later.
In Xiapi City, a shop called 'The World's First Paper' opened. This is an official shop (that is, a shop run by the government), there are four pro-guards standing outside, and Xiao He and Lu Bu are personally in charge inside.
"Such a good paper, no one came to buy it, it really blinded their dog's eyes." After sitting for most of the day, there was no one to buy paper, and Lu Bu couldn't help but scold.
Xiao He stepped forward and saluted: "Lord, you better go back to the Thorn Mansion first and wait for the news, I promise to sell all the paper." β
"What do you mean?"
Xiao He smiled bitterly: "Look outside this shop, the people walked to the front of the store, and saw that there were four pro-soldiers, all of whom were fierce and vicious, and then looked inside, and the lord was personally in charge, knowing that this was a shop, and those who didn't know thought that the government was handling the case, who dared to come in?" β
"Hehe... You have a point, huh. β
Lu Bu stood up and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you, you sell slowly." I have a lot to do. β
Back at the Assassin's Mansion, Lu Bu saw that Li Yuanba had found hundreds of personal guards and accompanied him in the courtyard to practice martial arts. None of them were armed, they fought hand-to-hand. Li Yuanba's strength is too great, even if he is suppressed by hundreds of people, he can break free, fight back and forth, and the soldiers are completely abused.
"Yuanba."
"Father-in-law." Li Yuanba ran over.
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Do you really want to practice martial arts?" β
"Yes, children like to practice martial arts."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay, you wait and follow me to the barracks, and I will hand over the guards to you, and you will lead them." From now on, they can accompany you to practice martial arts every day. β
"Hey, hey... Well, thank you, child, father. Li Yuanba thought in his heart: "I don't care if you are in the army or not, I just want to practice martial arts." β
"Newspaper... The captain of the city guard asked to see him. A pro-soldier shouted at the door.
"Let him in."
"No."
The captain of the city guard military academy, holding two bamboo slips in his hand, came to Lu Bu, handed the bamboo slips to Lu Bu, and said with a smile: "Lord, this is the good news just sent from the front line, a total of two copies." β
"What about the messenger?"
"It's gone."
Lu Bu glanced at him and said, "You go to the Yin Mansion to receive the reward, but... Next time, if someone comes to deliver the battle report, it's best to let them come and see me themselves. β
"No."
Taking Li Yuanba back to the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, Lu Bu opened the two bamboo slips.
Two bamboo slips, all good news. What is Good News? It's a victory! It's no wonder that the captain of the city guard wanted to send it in person. If it was a failure, it is estimated that he would not be so enthusiastic.
The first good news: Fan Lihua swayed into ecstasy, scared Cao Cao away, Zhang Liao was saved, and was about to return to Xiapi City.
The second good news: The battle of the East China Sea has ended, Ji Ling was beheaded by Luo Cheng, Zhang Xun and Lei Bo were killed by Xiang Yu and retreated, and Huainan was defeated. In this battle, 20,000 enemies were killed, 60,000 prisoners were captured, 130,000 stones of grain and grass, and countless equipment, battle armor, etc., which will be transported back to Xiapi City in the near future.
"Hahaha... Well, the feather god is brave, unique through the ages, and it really deserves its name! β
After reading it, Lu Bu was both surprised and delighted. Surprised, Xiang Yu appeared, and he made a contribution before they met. The good news is that Cao Yuan has been defeated, the general trend has been decided, and no one will dare to covet the six counties of Xuzhou in the future.
On the contrary, with Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba here, the princes should be afraid.
"Yuanba."
"Yes."
Lu Bu got up and said, "Follow me to the school field, and I will hand over the pro-guard army to you." β
"Okay." Li Yuanba was very happy.
When he arrived at the school, Lu Bu asked all the soldiers of the Pro-Guard Army to come out and directly announced that Li Yuanba would be the commander of the Pro-Guard Army.
It was originally very smooth, but there was an eyeless centurion named Zhang Feng, who said that Li Yuanba was mentally handicapped and could not command the whole army, so Li Yuanba was furious, and challenged everyone with his bare hands.
In less than half an hour, more than 2,000 pro-guards were beaten, and their noses and faces were swollen. And the young man named Zhang Feng was also hung up, and he didn't dare to say that Li Yuanba was mentally retarded.
Lu Bu checked his details and found that he was also a veteran, and he had followed him since a few years ago, fought in the east and west, and made a lot of military achievements. Lu Bu took another test for his martial arts, and he was slightly higher than other soldiers. So, LΓΌ Bu appointed him as the deputy commander. If Li Yuanba really did not have the ability to command the whole army, he would handle the affairs of the army.
Anyway, it's a false title, if you really want to lead the troops to fight, you have to rely on Li Yuanba.
Zhang Fengwan didn't expect that after being beaten, he would also get the title of deputy commander. Suddenly, he was grateful to Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, and thanked him for a while.
Lu Bu looked at him and said, "In the future, you have to lead the troops well and don't let me down." β
"Rest assured, the lord will not disgrace his life!" Zhang Feng was extremely excited, and hurriedly gave up.
