Chapter 516: Decision
Outside the city of Taiyuan, the horse's hooves fly, a red horse in the lead, the red robe is flying, twenty horses follow behind, the person on the horse is tall and handsome, it is Lu Bu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that today's Lu Bu has long lost the vigor that killed Dong Zhuo in Chang'an and held the power, and since Chang'an, he has taken refuge in Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and after years of running, his face looks a little tired.
When he was about to run to the gate of Taiyuan City, Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao waiting at the gate of the city at a glance, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and turned around and shouted: "Get off the horse." ”
The red rabbit horse happened to gallop under the city gate, and Lu Bufei dismounted and said loudly: "Wenyuan, long time no see!" ”
"Hehe, Brother Fengxian, it's been a long time!" Zhang Liao greeted him with a big smile.
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and sighed inexplicably: "Brother Wen is now desperate and has come to take refuge with his brother, but I don't know if he is willing to take him in?"
"Haha." Zhang Liao laughed: "You and I are like brothers, how can you be so polite, but you stay."
Lu Buchang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really the sinister way of the world, since my brother left Chang'an, he first voted for Yuan Shu, I don't want him to be famous, there is no food and no soldiers under him, it is difficult to stretch, so I went north to vote for Yuan Shao for my brother, I don't want Yuan Shao to plot against me, I am clearly the captain of the school, but in fact, I ambush the soldiers and horses to secretly cause harm, fortunately for my brother to be vigilant, escaped, but now he came to Bingzhou to take refuge in Wenyuan."
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "I am from a low background, and the Yuan brothers are not together, not to mention Brother Fengxian, your soldiers and horses are not strictly restrained, and they loot everywhere, but it is not good, when I arrive in Bingzhou, I will supply grain and grass, and do not do anything to loot, otherwise I will deal with it with military discipline, and the same is true for my soldiers and horses, you can know it when you were in Xiaopingjin."
"This nature, this nature." Lu Bu smiled awkwardly, he was not welcome under Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, half of the reason was that the military discipline was too poor, and he was looting everywhere, he originally hid this section, but he didn't want Zhang Liao to know it very clearly.
Zhang Liao also said the ugly words in front, otherwise the accident would hurt his feelings even more, he sighed, and said: "Brother Fengxian, I have a low background, and the family is not attached, so we can only rely on the people, if we rob the people again, we really have nothing to rely on."
Lu Bu nodded, and said with a little envy: "I don't want Wenyuan to be a pastor of the state now, but to be a brother is nothing."
Today's Lu Bu is in a really bad situation, when he escaped from Chang'an, he was only a few hundred horsemen, and then although he recruited troops several times, but he suffered from no foundation and grain and grass, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were more defensive against him, and his strength never exceeded 1,000, compared to the original command of tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Chang'an, it is really incomparable, and it cannot be compared with Zhang Liao today.
Zhang Liao didn't know what to say, now he could crush Lu Bu with any soldier and horse under his command.
While Lu Bu and Zhang Liao entered the city gate, they sighed again: "If I knew that Wenyuan could defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an, I would not have left Chang'an as a brother, so that I didn't even know where my family was."
Zhang Liao smiled, took Lu Bu into the city gate, and suddenly pointed to a tall girl with teary eyes next to him and said, "Brother Fengxian, who is this?"
Lu Bu turned his head to look, the tiger's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "Lingqi!"
"Father!" Lu Lingqi ran up crying, hugged Lu Bu tightly and cried.
Lu Bu hugged his daughter, tears in his eyes.
Zhang Liao smiled, when he rescued Lu Bu's family in Chang'an, brought him to Bingzhou, and settled in Taiyuan City, not far from the state pastoral mansion, Lu Lingqi often went to the state pastoral mansion to follow Zhang Liao and Gu Caiying to practice martial arts, Tang Wan and Cai Yan also handed her over to learn literature and embroidery, she lived happier than when she followed her father, but it was inevitable to miss her father.
At this time, their father and daughter met, and Lu Lingqi took Lu Bu to see her mother, and Zhang Liao didn't bother much, and went back to the state pastor's mansion.
As for Lu Bu's thousands of soldiers and horses, they were all placed in the barracks.
In the Lu Mansion, Lu Bu and his wife and daughter met, and after a pleasant surprise, they said goodbye to each other.
When Lu Bu heard his daughter talk about Zhang Liao's current strength, especially when he heard that even Gao Shun had commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he stayed there, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he only felt bitter in his heart.
This hit him too hard, who had always been proud, especially Zhang Liao, who was once weaker than him, and made him feel depressed even more. Strangers don't feel strong, but the more familiar people are, the more powerful they are, the more they have an impact on the soul.
Lu Bu is ambitious, he said that he came to seek refuge in Zhang Liao, but he was still quite self-conscious, thinking that his strength was enough to become a figure second only to Zhang Liao or even surpass Zhang Liao, but now he knew that his current strength was not as good as Zhang Liao's next Sima.
He originally wanted to stay in Bingzhou for a while, but when he learned about Zhang Liao's strength, his mind suddenly faded a lot.
However, when I heard my daughter talk about Zhang Liao's kindness to their mother and daughter, and even taught her daughter to learn and practice martial arts, I was quite grateful.
On the second day, Lu Bu came to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion to see Zhang Liao with mixed feelings.
Zhang Liao was as enthusiastic as ever, and pulled Lu Bu to the back hall to drink, after three rounds of drinking, Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Brother Fengxian, now that Bingzhou is quite stable, there is no war, does Brother Feng Xian want to stay in Bingzhou for a period of time, or do you want to go to other places to explore?"
Lu Bu's heart moved, and his eyes lit up: "What does Wen Yuan mean by this?"
Zhang Liao said with a smile: "I know that Brother Fengxian, like me, is a restless and calm person, now Qingxu Yanyu Cao Cao, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao are fighting lively, I want to go and have a fight, how about not Brother Fengxian?"
"Go to Qingxu Yanyu?" Lu Bu couldn't help but stand up: "Is that really the case?"
"Not bad," Zhang Liao said: "The autumn is high and cool, and it is a good time to move troops."
Lu Bu was greatly moved, he liked conquest and chaos the most, but he smiled bitterly: "But why is my brother now have no soldiers."
"It's easy." Zhang Liao said with a smile: "I now have a lot of hard soldiers, all of whom were captured from the Southern Xiongnu, they are good at riding and shooting, I can send you 3,000, and I also have war horses."
"Great!" Lu Bu showed great joy on his face, and immediately bowed: "Wenyuan's grace is unforgettable for my brother!" Just go to Yanyu with you, kill him for a good time!"
He didn't want to stay in Bingzhou now, Zhang Liao's suggestion was in his mind.
Zhang Liao helped him up and said solemnly: "Brother Fengxian, there is only one thing not to forget, don't disturb the people with these soldiers, don't loot places, that's killing chickens and taking eggs, and ordinary people don't have much food and grass, the army has no food and grass, you can rob the enemy, or take it from those fierce and powerful, you can get more food and grass, and you can win the hearts of the people, which is conducive to gaining a foothold as soon as possible."
"Good! I listened to Wen Yuan. Lu Bu hurriedly responded.
Zhang Liao nodded: "My brothers and sisters have arrived in the Central Plains, let's separate for the time being, I am in Qingzhou, you are in Yanzhou, Brother Feng Xian can go to Chenliu to make friends with Zhang Miao, Yanzhou will only change in a year, and there may be a good opportunity for Brother Feng at that time."
Lu Bu was at a loss by Zhang Liao's words.
Zhang Liao didn't say much, in history, after Lu Bu left Yuan Shao, he took refuge in Zhang Yang in the south, and befriended Zhang Miao when he passed by Chen Liu, and later Zhang Miao and others betrayed when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and welcomed Lu Bu as the pastor of Yanzhou.
Zhang Liao felt that Lu Bu, the restless master, was not so relieved to be in the rear, so he still went to Yanzhou to find some trouble for Cao Cao, so as not to let Cao Cao sit too fast, and at the same time to respond to each other's development in Qingzhou.
He was still very jealous of Cao Cao.
