In the middle of the winter months, the cold wind is biting.

The military cadets and adjutant generals arrived in Shouchun one after another and lived in the post house. Including Zang Ba, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, and Cheng Lian, they are also among them, a total of 134 people.

If you add Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu, it is 136 people.

I am looking forward to entering the military academy.

"My lord, the minister has gone to Liu's Mansion twice to ask Liu Bowen to teach, but he has returned in vain. He doesn't seem to care about the affairs of the military academy. In the study, Chen Gong reported to Lu Bu.

"Didn't you tell him that after the class, I would give him soldiers and horses to attack Cao Cao?"

"Yes, but he still shirked it in every possible way."

"How can it be?" Lu Bu said angrily: "He thinks that once the war starts, I can't do without him, and only by using him to defend against the enemy can I repel Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so I have nothing to fear?" ”

Chen Gong hugged his fists and said: "Forgive the minister, Liu Bowen's talent is like Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, if he sincerely assists, the lord will achieve a great cause, but..." ”

"Say whatever you want, don't ramble."

"Yes."

Chen Gong said: "Perhaps, the lord should go to Liu's Mansion in person..." ”

"You want me to beg him in a low voice?" Lu Bu interrupted Chen Gong's words.

"For the sake of Gan Ning, the lord can bow down. It can be seen that people who are not narrow-minded can't be like Gan Ning... ”

"Can that be the same? Gan Ning knows loyalty, since he took refuge, he has been conscientious and conscientious, even if he has no talent, I like it. And Liu Bowen is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, even if I am so good to him, I am so good, he will not be tempted. Or I say, literati are hateful, very hateful! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu remembered a few people and asked, "Where are the people I brought back from Jingzhou now?" ”

"Back to the lord, it's all in Wenxian Pavilion."

Lu Budao: "They are the same as Liu Bowen, they are very hateful. I don't have time to deal with them now, and I'll talk to them when I destroy Jingzhou. ”

"The lord wants to crusade against Jingzhou?"

"Sooner or later..." Mentioning this question, Lu Bu couldn't help but ponder, who should he fight for in the next war? Is it Sun Ce, who is entrenched in Jiangdong? Or the rich Jingzhou? Jizhou Yuan Shao? Yanzhou Cao Cao?

"Lord, how should I deal with Liu Bowen's matter now?" Chen Gong pulled the question back again.

"Since he doesn't want to, let's not force it. You inform the Ministry of Rites that from today onwards, you will double Liu Bowen's salary, send the best food, beauties, jade, etc. every day, and then transfer the Dragon Guards to surround Liu's Mansion and prohibit entry and exit. ”

Chen Gong frowned and said, "The minister is a little confused, does the lord want to show favor to him?" Or is it punishment for him? ”

Lu Budao: "Isn't this what you often say, grace and power? I will be gracious to him and punish him, and I will see who can survive whom. He'll stay in there for the rest of his life, until he relents. ”

Chen Gong didn't know what to say, he sometimes felt that Lu Bu was thirsty for talent and had great energy, which was a rare Mingjun, but sometimes he felt that he had some small belly and chicken intestines, and his reverie would be rewarded.

In short, it was never figured out.

"Don't worry about the public station, although I have been grounded in Liu Bowen, I am also rewarded richly. Even if he wanted to get angry, he couldn't. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and it was impossible to find fault. Let's wait and see when he succumbs. ”

"Yes."

"As for who to send to the military academy to teach, I want to tell you in two days."

"Why?"

Lu Budao: "Because the people who teach have not yet reached Shouchun." I'll tell you when he arrives. ”

"Yes."

At this moment, in Lu Bu's mind, two candidates were drawn up. One is Zhang Liang and the other is Xu Shu.

According to the memory given to Zhang Liang by the system, he was friends with Liu Bowen and went to Shouchun to visit his friends. It is expected that within a few days, Zhang Liang's figure will be seen. As for Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Shu, he had learned that his mother had been taken to Shouchun, and he rushed to it non-stop. Maybe we'll see it in a few days.

Therefore, even if Liu Bowen did not teach, Lu Bu did not panic. As long as Xu Shu and Zhang Liang, any of them agree to teach at the Military Academy, they can replace Liu Bowen.

Next to the North Garden, Liu's Mansion.

There are many dragon guards, and it is forbidden to enter and exit. From time to time, people and officials passed by, but they didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Liu Bowen was not famous, he didn't hold important positions, and he didn't seal the mansion or not, which had nothing to do with them.

Zhang Feng came out of Beiyuan, and when he passed by Liu's mansion, he saw a handsome and mature middle-aged man dressed in a dark robe, who wanted to break into the mansion and was expelled by the soldiers of the Dragon Guard.

"What's going on?" Zhang Feng stepped forward to ask.

"Back to the deputy commander, this person calls himself Zhang Liang, and he wants to see Lord Liu Bowen, and we are about to expel him." A soldier said.

Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Liang and bowed his hand: "Mr. Zifang, please follow me to the Thorn History Mansion." ”

"You know me?" Zhang Liang was surprised.

"The last general is the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, responsible for protecting the safety of the lord, listening to the lord's words every day, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, there is a talent through the heavens and latitudes, how powerful, even if the last general doesn't want to know, it can't be done."

Zhang Feng replied with a smile.

"General Lu really said that?" Zhang Liang was even more surprised, he was an unknown country scribe, and it was difficult for him to even eat, how could he be so valued by Lu Bu.

"Mr. Ofan, please."

"General, please." Zhang Haoxiang forgot about Liu Bowen, didn't even look at Liu Fu, and left with Zhang Feng.

Two quarters of an hour later, the car ran to the Thorn Mansion.

"General Zhang, you haven't told me about Liu Bowen yet?" After getting out of the carriage, Zhang Liang followed Zhang Feng into the house and asked again.

Zhang Feng said: "Don't worry about the ovary, the lord sent a sergeant to take care of it in order to protect Lord Liu." When you meet the lord, everything will be understood. ”

"Okay."

Zhang Liang's intelligence is as high as 118, second only to Liu Bowen. He didn't fully believe Zhang Feng's words, but he didn't disbelieve it, at least he could be sure that Lu Bu had no ill will towards him and Liu Bowen.

In the study.

Lu Bu was holding a thick book and flipping through it, and there was a girl pouring tea and water next to him, and taking care of the charcoal stove. Every once in a while, the window is opened to drive the charcoal out of the window to ensure that the air in the room is clear.

The inside of the house is noticeably warmer than the outside.

"My lord, the last general has met Zhang Liang." Zhang Feng ran into the study and reported to Lu Bu.

"Where?"

Hearing Zhang Liang's name, Lu Bu put down the book in his hand and walked out from behind the desk.

Zhang Feng said: "The last general passed by Liu's Mansion and happened to meet Zhang Liang, so he brought him over. ”

"Call him in."

"Yes."

Zhang Feng turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Bu seemed to remember something and said, "Wait, I'll go with you." ”

Before going out, Lu Bu picked up a fluffy cotton jacket and draped it over himself.

"Lord, that's Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang." After walking not far, Zhang Feng pointed to the eaves in the distance, a thin man, rubbing his hands, shivering coldly.
