Chapter 25: Returning
Chapter 25 is full of loads
Chan'er was also very happy to hear Lu Bu say this, but regretted that Lu Bu was going to leave so soon. The maid was right, Miss Chan'er listened to her father Wang Yun talk about the heroic deeds of Ding Yuan and Lu Bu father and son, which girl did not have a spring, in private, she inquired about the news of Lu Bu in many ways, handsome and chic, thousands of miles to kill the enemy, and the lonely army went deep into various versions of stories and legends, which have already spread all over the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, but what everyone doesn't know is that there is a great credit to Li Su, he sneaked into Luoyang City early on the order of Lu Bu, and quietly spread the story of Ding Yuan and Lu Bu's heroic deeds, and built momentum for Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, It has the meaning of a propaganda war in later generations. Chan'er saw Lu Bu himself today, he was really heroic, handsome and masculine, compared to the children of the official eunuchs and the vassal and elegant sons and brothers he was used to seeing on weekdays, there was more of a murderous majesty that had experienced the battlefield, no wonder Lord Li Xie and his father talked about Ding Yuan and Lu Bu father and son, saying that Lu Bu was "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses", and he was as rare as a young hero like Maxima. Today, it is well deserved. "Thank you, Childe, thank you Lord Ding, Chan'er won't bother you." After speaking, Chan'er took a few maids around the flower pond and disappeared into the flowers, Lu Bu wanted to say something to stay, but when they met for the first time, it seemed inconvenient, so they could only watch the beautiful back gradually disappear. Lu Bu took a few steps forward, wanting to catch up, but finally stopped, but when he looked down, he found that there was a flying phoenix woven of gold wire on the ground, and it was also decorated with a few five-colored jade. Lu Bu recognized that it was Chan'er's head, and he didn't know how to fall here, so he hurriedly picked it up, stroked it with his palm, and thought about things. When Ding Yuan saw this scene, he was secretly amused, "Feng Xian, have you taken a fancy to this Chan'er girl?" If you really match, wait for your father to propose to you. "The father also came to make fun of the child, and now that the army is busy, how can he have time to think about this." "You have never been cowardly when you were fighting, how can you be shy when it comes to women, haha, don't worry, wait for your father to inquire about this Wang Yun, and then find a way for you."
Ding Yuan, Lu Bu and his son said this, and when Chan'er returned home, Wang Yun and her also said the same thing, "Chan'er, you said that you saw Ding Yuan and Lu Bu father and son in Zhangfu?" Don't you take a fancy to Lu Bu, don't worry, wait for your father to inquire about this Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, their mansion was given to them by the eunuch Zhang Rang, today in the court, Zhang Rang also helped them say a lot of good things, I don't know how many benefits they received. Although Wang Yun said this, Chan'er didn't believe that Lu Bu's deeds of killing the Huns were not made up.
Zhang Rang and the others' work efficiency is still very high, too, the work of serving people is their strength, soon there are a large number of maids, servants and even gardeners, grooms, cooks are all equipped, the whole Ding Mansion is also lively, fortunately, this house is really big, the fifty people who ride the Dangkou plus these subordinates are more than enough to live in, all the daily necessities and even all kinds of ingredients, carriages, furniture are also sent in an endless stream, it seems that this Zhang Rang is really hard work. Having said that, who made this Ding Yuan father and son appreciate the emperor.
Ding Yuan and Lu Bu stayed in Luoyang for a few days, and the officials of the imperial court came to visit in an endless stream, and there was a lot of traffic in front of Ding's mansion, during which Ding Yuan and Lu Bu also received an invitation from He Jin. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also summoned Ding Yuan and LΓΌ Bu separately once, and discussed with them the problems and methods of governing and managing the Xiongnu tribes. Ding Yuan has been in the side for a long time, he is no stranger to this aspect, and he can be regarded as a decent answer, and Lu Bu has some ideas, so that Emperor Ling of Han also patted his legs and admired, sure enough, the young man thinks quickly, Emperor Ling gave Lu Bu a reassurance, "Just follow your ideas and let it go, anyway, they are all aliens, and their hearts will be different if they are not of my race, no matter whether they live or die, there is no need to scruple about things that are good for my Han, if you get the Huns for me, in the future, those Xianbei people, Qiang people and even the countries of the Western Regions, I will hand them over to you, you have to rectify it for me, These barbarians want them to accept the kingship of the Central Plains and die for the Han Dynasty. "Emperor Ling's words, let Lu Bu open his mind, yes, anyway, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will still have some time, and when the world is in chaos, the Kwantung warlords and the Liangzhou warlords will fight to the death, why don't I take advantage of the fisherman, first take down the northern grasslands and the Western Regions, after the rear is stable, I will lead the troops south, there are no firearms in this era, no tank armor and artillery, cavalry is the king's road, I get him hundreds of thousands of cavalry, except for the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, other places are not ready to capture, with ideas and planning, the road ahead is much clearer, I, Lu Bu, have just walked through the starting point.
Finally came to return to the day, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu were more beautiful than when they came, they were honored by the marquis, the supreme glory, Ding Yuan's royal gift of the Shang Fang sword, Lu Bu also had the imperial scepter to add to the body, and the status was also extremely respected, His Majesty the Emperor set up a banquet in the Deyang Palace to see off, especially for Lu Bu was very reluctant, and the civil and military officials went out of the city for ten miles to see each other, and many people in Luoyang spontaneously came to see them off, including Miss Chan'er, she deliberately fell to shake the step, but there was no chance to say goodbye to each other, and Wang Yun did not like Ding Yuan, Even as a neighbor, she didn't come to visit, Chan'er only secretly came to say goodbye to her lover. Seeing Lu Bu in the team from a distance, although there are thousands of troops and horses, no one can hide Lu Bu's demeanor, he is still wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, riding on the red rabbit that has been replaced with a golden saddle, and he is even more high-spirited, with a straight posture like a javelin, which shows a peerless demeanor. Maybe it was because he had a heart, Lu Bu actually found Chan'er's eager eyes in the thousands of people, he turned his head and smiled at her, and took out Bu Shao from his arms, and swayed to Chan'er, Chan'er saw that Bu Shao was really picked up by Lu Bu, and finally let go of his heart, and waved to Lu Bu. When Lu Bu saw Chan'er's response, he treasured Bu Shao again, turned forward again, and waved to the people. The return team was much larger than when it came, in addition to the 1,000 cavalry it brought, there were many more carriages, on which there were the military salaries personally allocated by the emperor, the high-grade raw ore for making weapons, a large number of standard ordnance and equipment from the inventory of the northern and southern armies, and a large number of craftsmen, this is the most valuable treasure, which was made by Lu Bu and His Majesty the Emperor. He said that he had some novel ideas but no skilled craftsmen could help him complete them, so he asked the emperor for these many craftsmen, one of whom was Lu Buzhi's must-get, that is, Ma Jun, who was only a small doctor at the time, and because he had a little stutter, he rarely spoke. But Lu Bu knew that he was the greatest inventor of this era, a mechanical expert, and had invented a lot of practical machinery, but he had never been reused, and like Zhang Heng, he died depressed. So he deliberately asked for these many craftsmen, just to prevent others from discovering that he was in order to get Ma Jun. However, Emperor Han Ling still sent them a prison army, the eunuch Gao Wang, who was also one of the ten permanent servants, after all, His Majesty the Emperor believed in these eunuchs who grew up with him since childhood. However, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu didn't care, the eunuchs were greedy for money, as long as they fed him with gold and silver, they were afraid that he would do anything, and when they returned to Bingzhou, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and if they really dared to make trouble, they would really dare to clean him up.
On a hillside ten miles outside Luoyang City, away from the crowd of people who saw them off, there were two tall horses standing quietly, and immediately there were two knights, dressed gorgeously, both of them were young people, both dressed as warriors, with swords hanging from their waists, one of them was tall and handsome, and a young man with a rather handsome appearance pointed to the long line in the distance, and said to another young man who was half a head shorter than him, a little thinner, and a plain-looking young man: "Meng De, this is what a good man should do, I have always wanted to go to the border to kill the enemy, and I have experienced one or two, but my father and uncle refused to let me go, What a pity! "The young man who was called Meng De actually looked down on the other party's hypocrisy in his heart, but he didn't break it." What Ben Chu said is very much, although you have no official position now, but the Yuan family has a prominent family background, family history, Yuan's "four worlds and three dukes", the day of your resurgence will not be far away, which is like I am only a small Lang, and I can't fight the ten permanent servants and others, although my grandfather has an old relationship with them, but I disdain to be with them, I still prefer to make friends with the children of a family like Ben Chu, even if it is the uncle He Jin brothers, it is better than these eunuchs. β
