Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle
"I don't dare to be the name of a champion. This is just the people of Xiudu making fun of it, and Ding Thorn Shimo has to take it seriously. β
Wen Han is polite and modest. Ding Yuan waved his hand and said as Lavenhan sat down.
"Hey, don't be pretentious, champion. Thou hast exterminated 10,000 Qianghu with a force of 5,000 men, and even shot the Qianghu general Keba Wuyan. If thou shalt not deserve it, who shall deserve it? β
Wen Han and Ding Yuan sat down back and forth, and Pei Yuanshao, as a guard, could not enter the seat, standing outside the door and waiting quietly. Wen Han sat down, and heard Lu Bu snort coldly, putting on a stinky face.
"Hmph. Champion Wen is really a big shelf, and my father-in-law and I can wait for you for a lot of time. Don't you think you've made some credit and think you can't do it? β
Lu Bu's words are ** naked. Wen Han didn't know how to offend him, and frowned. Hearing this, Ding Yuan hurriedly explained to Lu Bu.
"Hehe, don't be angry. The old man's temper is bigger than usual, and his temperament is impatient, and he can't wait for anyone. β
"Huh. The position of the military Sima of our district, it is indeed my sin to let Lord Taishou and Lord Assassin Shi wait for a long time. It is normal for Lu Taishou to blame. Here, I apologize to Lu Taishou and Ding Tingshi again. β
Wen Han was also laughing, and after finishing speaking, without waiting for Ding Yuan to speak, he first made amends. In this way, Wen Han's generosity shows that Lu Bu is narrow-minded. Ding Yuan smiled kindly, looking at Wen Han's eyes, there were many appreciations.
"Look at this young man, he knows how to behave in the world at a young age, and he is a person who understands etiquette and things. Tao's strategic fighting skills are not bad, and he is really a rare talent. β
Lu Bu found the look of appreciation in Ding Yuan's eyes, his face became even colder, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of killing intent, staring at Wen Han with a squint, with the intention of having a sudden attack. The more murderous Lu Bu was towards Wen Han, the more Wen Han was smiling at Lu Bu, and the two made eye contact from time to time, as if they had sparked in the air, making the audience full of anger.
Ding Yuan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also bright. His own righteous son was jealous, and indeed in this battle against Qianghu, his own righteous son was a little lower than the military exploits of this champion. And Lu Bu is a person who is so proud that he wants to be higher than the sky, of course he is not convinced.
"Huh. This time, the invasion of the Qianghu people was stopped, and all of them were annihilated, and the three counties of Hudao, Xiudu, and Linhe were all due to the credit of the two main generals, such as Ru. The old man read the merit document and reported it to the imperial court. It is recommended that Wu'er Fengxian be the first to be the general of this Zhonglang, and lead the soldiers and horses of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingsang counties. Two thousand taels of gold. Of course, the court will have another reward for you. These two thousand taels of gold were specially rewarded by the old man as the position of the assassin to my son.
As for the champion, the old man recommended you as the captain. It's a pity that although you are in Bingzhou, you are half of my subordinates, but you are always the person of General He, and you will eventually return to Luoyang. This commander of the military power cannot be given by the old man. As for the bounty, the old man also gave you 2,000 taels of gold, of course, this bounty was given by the old man personally, and it was not included in the court's reward. β
Hearing Ding Yuan's reward arrangement, Lu Bu's face suddenly improved a lot, and he looked at Wen Han proudly. It seems to say that although you have made more merit than Wu Lu Fengxian, you have received less than me. LΓΌ Bu originally only commanded the military power of Shuofang County, but now he was delegated by Ding Yuan to Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingsang County. The forces immediately quadrupled.
In this era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, what was the most valuable? That's what everybody knows.
Soldiers! Only those who grasp the power of the military can survive and compete for hegemony in this troubled world. Military power is also the most basic rule of the game in the struggle for hegemony among princes.
In contrast, Wen Han now does not have the military power of a county, not even a county. With less than 6,000 troops, if troubled times come, they will be devoured by the princes at once.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu became more and more relaxed and excited. said that this fake man in his own house is really good to himself.
Wen Han pondered for a while, bowed deeply to Ding Yuan, and thanked him for his recommendation. The position of the lieutenant is also good, and the rank is more than 2,000 stones. and has the power to support troops independently, which is equivalent to Wen Han at this stage, which is enough.
Wen Han's vision is far away, and now he doesn't want to get too much official position and power, and he is hated by some wealthy nobles. The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.
He was waiting, waiting for the golden period after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It is the period when he really wants to show his edge.
Ding Yuan saw Lu Bu happy, and his heart was also much more relieved, he was familiar with the way of royalty. As long as this Lu Bu has benefits for him, he will become well-behaved and obedient.
Ding Yuan also wished so, at least when he still had power, this Lu Bu would not easily oppose him, unless someone more powerful than Ding Yuan appeared, or some treasures could induce him to rebel. Ding Yuan is confident that there will not be too many people who are more powerful than him in this big man, and even if there are, they may not necessarily be more than what he gave to Lu Bu. As for the treasures, there are a lot of them in Ding Yuan's house, and he can take out four or five pieces for this Lu Fengxian at any time.
Ding Yuan was thinking, but he kept talking to Wen Han and Lu Bu about the war in Qianghu. Among them, Ding Yuan couldn't help but applaud. In fact, Ding Yuan also admired Wen Han very much in his heart, if it weren't for Wen Han's mark of He Jin Group a long time ago, he would definitely pull him at any cost.
Suddenly, Lu Bu glanced at Ding Yuan, who was chatting with Wen Han. Ding Yuan saw it, helped the snow-white long beard, and said to Wen Han abruptly.
"Champion, I have heard that the cavalry in your army is brave and fast, and they come and go like the wind, all because of some strange objects. In this war against Qianghu, the cavalry under your command made a lot of contributions, which was even more powerful than the world-famous Qianghu iron cavalry. The old man must have seen a lot of effects on this strange object.
I don't know if you can dedicate it to the old man, so that the old man can push this strange object to the entire Bingzhou cavalry army and improve its combat effectiveness. In the future, if this Qiang Hu comes to invade again, the old man can easily repel it. This move is for the benefit of the Han people in the world, and for the future. Please don't postpone the champion, be the selfish and clumsy person. β
Wen Han was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lu Bu coldly. Wen Han knew with his toes that it must have been this Lu Bu who asked Ding Yuan to ask him for this saddle stirrup. wants to use his identity to suppress himself, Ding Yuan said it again, if Wen Han refuses, not only is he a selfish and clumsy person, but also a disloyal and unrighteous person!
"Thorn Lord, you say so. I will not refuse. β
Wen Han thought for a while, knowing that this saddle stirrup could not be hidden. He would never bear the name of disloyalty and unrighteousness.
When Ding Yuan and Lu Bu heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. But Wen Han spoke again.
"But the value of this saddle stirrup. I want to stab Lord Shi must understand. This is the invention of my ancestors, originally to protect the family. Although in the end my family was killed by the powerful.
But this saddle stirrup also has a will left by the ancestors, which cannot be revealed to outsiders, let alone taught. If it weren't for Qianghu's aggression this time, for the sake of righteousness, I wouldn't have taken it out easily. Therefore, if Lord Thorn really wants it, I will not beat around the bush, please ask Lord Thorn Shi to come up with something of corresponding value in exchange! β
Wen Han stared at Ding Yuan directly, and his attitude became hard for a while. Lu Bu next to him was furious when he heard this, and his tiger eyes were wide open, and he shouted loudly.
"Wen Bufan is so bold that he dares to bargain!"
Pei Yuanshao, who was outside, heard Lu Bu shouting and turned to look over. Wen Han stopped him with his eyes, telling him not to act rashly, and at the same time, he ignored Lu Bu's words and continued to look at Ding Yuan.
"Good. But you have to promise the old man. This saddle stirrup cannot be easily divulged except for the old man, unless it is absolutely necessary. β
"That's nature. Lord Thorn and I are both understanding people. The less people know about this saddle stirrup, the better. β
"Hmm. Then what do you want from the old man, you say. β
Wen Han paused, suddenly looked at Lu Bu, and laughed. Lu Bu's heart immediately trembled, and there was an ominous omen.
"I want to assassinate Master Shi, the two under my command. Their names are, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao! β
"No! Absolutely not. The two of them are my generals. Your saddle stirrup is not yet of this value, and you can exchange it for these two. β
Lu Bu almost didn't think about it and said no. Ding Yuan also frowned, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, he also understood, they are both talented and superb martial arts generals, indeed, as Lu Bu said, this saddle stirrup has not yet had this value.
"Huh. Lu Taishou should not be in a hurry. I also know the value of both of them. So, I have a suggestion. If one day, the two of them want to break away from the military command of the state and come to me. also asked Ding Tingshi and Lu Taishou to allow him to be released. That's it. I don't know if that's right? β
"It's as simple as that?"
Ding Yuan looked at Wen Han in disbelief, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in his gourd. This condition is too favorable, I really don't know what the champion of this article is thinking.
"That's right, it's as simple as that."
Wen Han nodded and replied in confirmation.
"Good. As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, if they don't want to stay in the state and be my subordinates. I do not force it, lest he become double-minded and betray him in the future. The old man agreed! My son is the first, what about you? β
Ding Yuan agreed, and then looked at Lu Bu again. Lu Bu gasped, his eyes full of red silk staring at Wen Han. He had always felt that Wen Han had bad intentions towards Gao Shun, but he didn't expect him to really want to pry his corner. And it's not just Gao Shun, even Zhang Liao wants to pry it away.
"What an extraordinary. Wu Lu Fengxian's subordinates, you want it? Do you know how many pounds you have? If you fight me on the battlefield, I can kill you with one move! β
Lu Bu did not answer, but threatened.
Wen Han smiled very calmly and said lightly.
"Thank you so much for reminding me of that. One day, I will hide from you. β
"Thou! What a scoundrel you are! β
"Generally, you can't get into the lobby."
Bang bang bang.
This is the sound of Lu Bu's muscles trembling, Lu Bu suddenly walked to Wen Han's side, raised his palm, and slammed towards Wen Han with the ability to pull out a mountain.
