Chapter 167: Cheng Yu is the envoy
After the winter solstice, the year is coming to an end.
Looking back on a series of things that happened in the first three years, there are really a lot. Especially in the fourth month of Xia, Chang'an Lu Bu killed the national thief Dong Zhuo, who everyone hated, and took charge of the government together with the minister Wang Yun. At that time, everyone thought that the imperial court had settled down and that order would be restored. But who would have expected that Xiliang Yu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others would counterattack Chang'an, once again making the imperial court, which had finally restored order, chaotic.
Of course, in addition to the turmoil in Chang'an, the competition for hegemony among the princes of the world is also becoming more and more intense.
In the first two years, he was still worried about the face of the imperial court and did not dare to use swords. But this year, it was a fair and honest conquest of each other. Yuan Shao plotted to seize Jizhou, Cao Cao planned Yanzhou, and LΓΌ Bu annexed the state, almost without the will of the imperial court. The court of Chang'an has truly become an ornament. From this year onwards, the world can be regarded as truly entering the era of princes competing for deer. A fire in Chang'an lifted the last fig leaf of the Han family, which also shattered the expectations of many people for the Han family.
Even in this chaotic world, there are still many people who still have hope for the imperial court. thought that the imperial court could still settle down and calm down the troubles in the world. But Li and Guo Yan broke Chang'an, but the last glimmer of hope for the Han family was shattered. Many people wept bitterly over this, and the whole world went dark.
But no matter what people in other places think, in the eyes of people in Jinyang, there is an extra expectation for the future. In the Jinyang market, you can see the guards who hold Ge to patrol everywhere, and they are majestic. Looking at these soldiers, the people of Jinyang will not be afraid, but when they see them, they are extremely relieved in their hearts.
In the vulgar language, soldiers and bandits in troubled times are a family.
In fact, in many places, a soldier is no different from a bandit! But in Jinyang, soldiers are soldiers, even when Lu Bu entered the state, there were no soldiers to disturb the people, and won a lot of people's hearts.
The city gate of Jinyang was wide open, and the people who came and went had already formed a long queue. Everywhere you can see merchants from all over the world, carrying all kinds of goods. In the cold winter, the war in the four sides finally subsided, this is a rare opportunity, those profit-heavy businessmen, but also did not fear the cold, taking advantage of the war to calm down, looking for business opportunities, in order to earn wealth. Otherwise, once the war starts, it will be difficult for them to go to various places to do business.
ββ¦β¦ Jinyang, but it's different from what I imagined...! β
On the wheel, the curtain was lifted, and a person's eyes swept through the crowd of people who came and went, and sighed lightly.
"I really didn't expect that this barren state has such a prosperous place......
The other chimed in.
ββ¦β¦ Perhaps, we all underestimate this tiger...! β
The sun shone on the face of the person who spoke, the face of the national character, with its own heroic spirit, wearing a wide robe, but it did not look bloated, and between the words, it was also a secret sigh.
He is Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's advisors. This time, he was ordered to send an envoy to merge the state, but he still wanted to observe and understand the merger for Cao Cao.
After Lu Bu entered the annexed state, Cao Cao has been paying attention to this tiger. In Cao Cao's view, there are only two tigers in the world. One is the original Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, when the princes were fighting Dong, Sun Jian served as a pioneer, which can be described as very brave and brave, which attracted the attention of the world! Even Dong Zhuo is afraid of three points! wants to form a family with Sun Jian. And on the other end, it is this Lu Bu. Lu Bu started from the state with bravery, and after killing Ding Yuan and joining Dong, he also fought with the princes of the world! That battle allowed the princes of the world to see the strength of the Bingzhou army, and also knew Lu Bu's bravery.
Now Sun Jian, the tiger, died at the hands of Liu Biao. But this Lu Bu won the annexation of the state and became one of the princes of the world. This made Cao Cao quite eye-catching! Because this tiger is not the unscrupulous man of the year. Therefore, this time Cheng Yu was sent as an envoy, and he was also asked to have more contact with this tiger.
"I'm afraid that the change in Jinyang will surprise many people......
Cheng Yu smiled lightly and lowered the curtain.
The carriage slowly drove into the city.
Lu Fu.
Lu Bu is teaching Lu Lingqi to learn swords, don't look at Lu Bu's famous weapon is the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, but Lu Bu's swordsmanship can also be called everyone! All kinds of weapons are proficient. Lu Lingqi, who is not small, sweats straight down, but her eyes are extremely resolute. waved the blade of the sword over and over again, but Lu Bu always had a straight face on the side: "Hurry up..."
"Speed, be fast...!"
"Be steady...... Pay attention to your feet, you can't even stand steadily, what are you talking about practicing swords......"
"The sword is a weapon of killing, and once it is unsheathed, it is ...... powerful"
The tall Lu Bu kept scolding beside him.
Lu Lingqi listened to Lu Bu's scolding, biting her lip tightly, her whole face was flushed, and beads of sweat slowly flowed down her forehead......
"Could the prince be too strict with Miss...... She's only been practicing for a few years, and it's amazing to be able to look like this......"
Cheng Lian looked at Lu Lingqi's appearance and whispered to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu glanced at Cheng Lian and snorted coldly, "Strict? I think you've spoiled her! If you work weekdays, you won't lose your life at a critical moment...... She wants to learn martial arts, this is the path she has chosen, but since she wants to learn, she must learn it well...... A few of you let her, you see, it all makes her arrogant......"
Cheng Lian smiled and scratched his head, "The last general really didn't let ...... In the eyes of the prince, the young lady may also be the martial arts that are not in the stream, but how can I compare with the monarch...... In this world, the people who can impress the princes are all famous generals in the world......"
ββ¦β¦ Miss's martial arts are enough to be proud of...... Its swordsmanship, ordinary people can't get close to it, but it lacks some ...... Missing some ......"
Halfway through his words, Cheng Lian suddenly paused, as if he couldn't think of any words to express.
Fortunately, Wei Yue, who was next to him, continued, "I lack some experience in fighting on the battlefield......
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Cheng Lian nodded again and again.
The answers of the two made Lu Bu slightly silent.
The real generals are all fought out in the sea of corpses and blood! There are many things that can only be learned when you go to the battlefield. Don't look at Lu Lingqi's martial arts now, but when she really arrives on the battlefield, it is really difficult to fight her way out. Even some battle-hardened veterans are much more powerful than her. Because the old pawn knows how to kill with one blow, how to save his life in the chaos of the army.
However, life and death on the battlefield are unpredictable. How could Lu Bu let Lu Lingqi go to the battlefield to commit danger?
The fiery red petite body is still working extremely hard. That pair of eyes, from time to time, swept over Lu Bu, sword light, terrifying, this scene made Lu Bu feel familiar. Once upon a time, he tried just that.
