Chapter 157: Goodbye Lu Bu
Cao Xing took advantage of the reason to go to Yingchuan to fight, not only did he get a wave of military exploits on the Yingchuan side, but even on the way back, he was still there leisurely, and the Che Wu next to him was there, repeatedly reminding Cao Xuan that it would be bad if the deadline for going back was delayed, but Cao Xing was deaf, if you asked Cao Xing why he did this, the reason was very simple, he didn't want to go back to Luoyang in such a hurry now, what are you doing when you go back to Luoyang? Do you want to get involved in the struggle between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui?
In Cao Xing's view, Dong Zhuo is a jackal, and Yuan Kui is also a poisonous snake, neither of them can be any better, they fight one and lose both, it is best to die together, and then Cao Xuan can go back to pick up the cheap.
So Cao Xuan repeatedly delayed time, but when Che Wu sent a message to Cao Xing, Cao Xuan couldn't sit still anymore, and directly patted the horse's back and hurried to Luoyang.
After returning to Luoyang, Cao Xuan didn't care so much, he directly handed over the battle report to Che Wu, and asked Che Wu to send it to the General's Mansion, he had something important to do, Che Wu asked Cao Xing if something happened to him, he took someone to go with Cao Xing, but Cao Xing waved his hand and asked Che Wu to do something, even if he didn't come back tonight, he didn't have to go to him.
Cao sex came to a tall house in Luoyang, knocked on the door, a boy poked his head out, Cao sex explained the intention, and then the boy also led Cao sex to the main house, Cao sex paced back and forth in the house, seemed to be a little anxious, after a long time, he finally heard footsteps behind, Cao sex turned around and saw a person behind.
And when that person saw Cao Xing, there was also a little excitement in his eyes, but Cao Xuan was a little afraid to face the things in front of him at the moment.
Originally, Cao Xing just wanted to take the opportunity of fighting the Yellow Turban Army to take refuge, but he never expected that in the three months he left, one major event after another seemed to have happened in Luoyang, and he missed one of them.
The person in front of you. He wears a purple and gold crown with three-pronged hair, a Xichuan red cotton robe on his body, a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and a delicate lion belt around his waist.
Cao Xuan finally arched his hand, with a helpless wry smile on his face: "Wen Hou, long time no see!" ”
The person standing in front of Cao Xing's eyes is no one else, it is Lu Bu, at the time of merging the state, Lu Bu except for a Fang Tian painting halberd that looks very domineering, he is wearing very simple and simple clothes, but when he sees him again in Luoyang, there is already a feeling that things are wrong, and now Lu Bu is dressed luxuriously, and Cao Xing also knows what Lu Bu has done.
And Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing and showed a smile, he seemed to understand what Cao Xing was thinking, now he has heard the evaluation of him Lu Bu from other people's mouths, Lu Bu estimates that Cao Xing also thinks the same, but seeing that Cao Xing's expression is not as mocking as others Lu Bu, and this time Cao Xing is willing to take the initiative to visit Lu Bu, it must indicate that Cao Xing has a different view of Lu Bu, Lu Bu stretched out his hand and motioned for Cao Xing to sit down, the two stood opposite each other, and then started a long talk.
"General Lu......" Cao Xuan thought for a moment, and finally changed back to his original mouth, but before Cao Xuan could finish speaking, Lu Bu waved his hand, looked at Cao Xuan and said.
"I know what you want to ask, what you want to know is nothing more than why I killed Ding Yuan, yes and no!"
Although Lu Bu said it very bluntly, making people a little unsure of how to interface, Cao Xing finally nodded.
At that time, he was only concerned about avoiding Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui, the two killing gods, but he completely forgot that Ding Yuan was also about to enter the capital, and it can even be said that Cao Xuan had just left with the front foot of the soldiers and horses, and Ding Yuan came to Luoyang from Bingzhou with the soldiers and horses.
No matter what Ding Yuan said, he was also born in the army, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry is also a first-class ace army, and why Yuan Kui and others are angry with Dong Zhuo is nothing more than that Dong Zhuo does not follow the etiquette at all, and does not obey orders at all, that is, he has soldiers in his hands, his fists are big, and he has been beating Yuan Kui and others, and Yuan Kui and others are helpless.
Now that Ding Yuan is here again, Ding Yuan is like a fist, and when those nobles of the family see this, they naturally want to use Ding Yuan's hand to suppress Dong Zhuo.
Ding Yuan was also received at the beginning, the so-called general entered Beijing to capture the thief's order, and entered Luoyang, now the general He Jin is dead, and Luoyang has no leader, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, he must beat Dong Zhuo down.
So he started a-for-tat confrontation with Dong Zhuo, the two of them had their own opinions when they met for the first time, and no one obeyed anyone, according to Dong Zhuo's temper, if someone dared to oppose him, he would have already raised his sword and cut people, anyway, there were tens of thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen standing behind him, who dared to take him? It's just that when he saw Lu Bu behind Ding Yuan, he was a little afraid, and Dong Zhuo, who was born in the army, could also see that Lu Bu was definitely a practitioner, and the martial arts aura on his body was extremely strong, which was by no means comparable to him.
In the end, Dong Zhuo sent a lobbyist, promised Lu Bu the title, gave Lu Bu a red rabbit horse, and this gorgeous decoration on his body, and finally Lu Bu completely rebelled, assassinated his father-in-law Ding Yuan, and took refuge in Dong Zhuo.
Thinking of all this in history, Cao Xing sighed a little, he never understood, Lu Bu in front of him was not as politically minded as he said in history, on the contrary, he was still very smart, but why did he assassinate Ding Yuan, you must know that in the Three Kingdoms period, it was an era that focused on legislation, the monarch wanted the minister to die, the minister had to die, the father wanted the son to die, the son had to die, where is there a son who kills his father, this is simply a big rebellion. Since this has been done, it will definitely be criticized by countless people in the world.
However, Lu Bu looked at Cao Xuan and smiled and said: "Dong Zhuo accepted me as a righteous son, this is just a gimmick, I and he both know in our hearts that everyone is just using each other, and the rewards he gave me, except for the red rabbit horse, which I really like, the others are floating clouds for me, what Wen Hou, you let those princes in the court stand up one by one, it is not enough for me Lu Bu to assassinate with one shot!" So I don't care about these locations at all! ”
"Then why are you doing this!" Cao Xing was even more puzzled.
However, Lu Bu said with a smile: "Cao Xing, you and I are both from poor backgrounds, and you should know the way of this world, many things are involuntarily, when you merged with the state, you made a series of things in Bianyun County, and ruthlessly suppressed the family, you may not know that those chapters of the family accusing you have been piled up in the Assassin's Mansion as tall as two people!" ”
Hearing this, Cao Xing lowered his head in some shame, he knew that Lu Bu must have helped him secretly, otherwise, with the strength of those families, it was estimated that he, a small official in Bianyun County, would have stepped down a long time ago.
"Thank you Wen Hou for helping me block those things, I'm grateful!"
"Hehe, you don't have to thank me, I'm just doing the last struggle!"
Cao Xuan looked at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu also sighed and slowly said this series of things.
Lu Bu joined the army at the age of ten, and the first moment he stepped on the battlefield, Lu Bu's martial arts talent was shown, and he relied on his super high martial arts skills to take the lead every time, and made great achievements, soaring all the way, and finally Ding Yuan took a fancy to his bravery, so he accepted him as his son.
But it is precisely because Lu Bu's performance is too prominent, and the army happens to be a place that advocates the strong, so many officers are all obedient to Lu Bu, like Zhang Liao Gaoshun's first-class generals, who are willing to follow Lu Bu's side to serve.
It is precisely because Lu Bu is so good that it arouses Ding Yuan's suspicion, what Ding Yuan is afraid of is that one day, Lu Bu will completely take away his power by virtue of his prestige, so he began to be wary of Lu Bu at all times. often suppressed Yu Lu Bu in some things.
After Lu Bu saw all this clearly, he was thinking that he had peerless martial arts, he had been trapped in this merger state, and he had been suppressed by Ding Yuan, was this worth it? So knowing about Dong Zhuo's appearance changed his mind.
Lu Bu took a sip of wine lightly, and then said to Cao Xing: "If I have been following Ding Yuan's side, I will never have the day, and there will be a disaster of killing, after all, I, Lu Bu, have been uninhibited all my life, and I want to do whatever I want, there are many things that have touched Ding Yuan's brows, Ding Yuan will raise a butcher's knife to me sooner or later, rather than let Ding Yuan kill me, it is better for me to strike first, and directly dedicate his head to Dong Zhuo, so that there are so many benefits in exchange, you say it is not cost-effective, hahaha!" ”
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Cao Xuan took a sip of wine indifferently, with a wry smile on his face, and finally he arched his hand to Lu Bu, and just said a word: "Wen Hou, no matter what people in the world say about you, you are always my friend Cao Xing!" ”
Lu Bu slapped the table when he heard this: "Okay, refreshing, I heard that you Cao Xuan does not have anything too prominent, but with your boldness, it is worth my Lu Bu's deep friendship!" ”
And Cao Xing also laughed out loud after hearing this. Although there was bitterness in this smile, Cao Xuan didn't care at all at the moment.
Maybe in the eyes of those high-ranking people, Lu Bu is a great rebellion to do this, and it is intolerable to heaven and earth, but who has been to Lu Bu is also from a poor background, for people who have grown up from the bottom, how difficult it is, as for those writings in history, they are just adapted by the winners.
The merits and demerits of history are still left to future generations to comment, but Cao Xing only believes in the facts in front of him.
Cao Xuan and Lu Bu drank all night, Cao Xing was used to drinking spirits when he merged the state, so the amount of alcohol he and Lu Bu drank was really about the same amount, and in the end, the two of them fell to the ground almost at the same time, and then fell asleep in a drowsy.
When Cao Xing was awakened by Lu Bu the next day, Lu Bu happily invited Cao Xing to accompany him to the school in his house.
Now Lu Bu is also a Wenhou, and the mansion is so big that people can imagine, so he also has a training ground at home, of course, this training ground is about the same, and it can accommodate more than 500 people for training.
Looking around, Cao Xing saw that Zhang Liao, Gaoshun and the others he recognized, all of whom were among them, and many people were fighting there shirtless at the moment.
When he saw Lu Bu coming, they also stopped their movements and stood in front of Lu Bu respectfully, while Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xuan and said.
"Actually, I came to Luoyang and heard a lot of things about you, I don't want to ask about the rest, after all, it's your own business, but I want to ask you now, your bow and arrow skills can fall!"
"Hehe, of course not!"
"In that case, the Eight Warriors, come out!" Under Lu Bu's order. I saw Zhang Liao take the remaining seven generals to step forward, and Gao Shun did not participate, among them, after all, Gao Shun led the camp first, and they were not in the same formation.
"This is the fiercest soldier in my hand, do you dare to use your bow and arrow skills to fight them!"
Regardless of Lu Bu's Cao Xing, he will face eight people at one time, whether this is realistic or not, Cao Xing couldn't help frowning when he heard the eight strong generals, Cao Xing is also one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu in history, but why does Lu Bu still have eight strong generals now, Lu Bu also introduced Cao Xuan one by one, and the names of these eight people are.
Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Song Xian, Zang Ba, Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and Lu Ji.
When he heard the name of the last person, Cao Xing's heart finally figured out that many times history is like a moving carriage, he will not stop driving because there is one less stone on the ground, usually there is one stone missing, and another stone is filled, even if Cao Xing is not among the generals, but Lu Bu still promoted a young man named Lu Ji.
Cao Xuan took a good look at these eight strong generals, except for Zhang Liao's martial arts that have reached the seventh level of martial arts, and Zang Ba's martial arts have reached the sixth level of martial arts, as for the others, all of them are at the level of martial arts fivefold.
Looking at Cao Xing's eyes with some hesitation, Lu Bu smiled and said, "What? Cao Xing, let you hold a bow and arrow, and you are afraid of hitting eight at a time! ”
Cao Xuan only pondered for a moment, but also showed a hint of a smile, and directly stretched out a hand, Lu Bu understood, shook his head, and immediately two sergeants sent a bow and arrow to Cao Xing's hand, and then a person stood in the middle of the martial arts arena.
Looking at the eight people standing in front of him, Cao Xuan took a handful of arrows directly from the quiver behind him and grabbed them all in his hand, seeing Cao Xuan doing this, Zhang Liao and the others all glanced at each other, Cao Xuan took out so many arrows at one time, can he finish shooting? Could it be that Cao Xing wanted to throw around.
But at this moment, everyone didn't think about it so much, and under Lu Bu's order, this competition could be regarded as officially begining.
Zhang Liao and the eight of them immediately dispersed, outflanking and approaching Cao Xing, and Cao Xing also shot out the arrows in front of him quickly at this time, Cao Xing's arrows, the moment they were on the bowstring, Zhang Liao and the others knew that they had been tricked, although Cao Xing grabbed an arrow in his hand, Cao Xing's hand was extremely flexible, and he only put three arrows on the bowstring at one time.
