Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!

Lu Bu, the word Fengxian, and the five plains of the state, are brave and brave, and the horses are unparalleled. It's a pity that no one is perfect, and the emotional intelligence is too low, so that now it has a bad reputation and no one dares to believe it. And Lu Bu himself seems to have realized this after several years of conquest, and this time he returned to the imperial court, Lu Bu closed his door and kept to himself.

It's just that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, Lu Bu is honest, but some people don't want Lu Bu to settle down. Lu Bu is now middle-aged, although his martial arts have begun to decline, but he has rich combat experience, and he is trapped in Chang'an like this, Liu Xie thinks that he is a little condescending.

"Marquis Wen, the Holy Lord sent someone to invite you." Cao Xing's footsteps hurriedly came to the backyard to report to Lu Bu. Lu Bu was performing martial arts in the backyard, and after hearing Cao Xing's words, he thrust the halberd in his hand into the ground, frowned and asked, "Shulong, what did you just say?" Holy looking for me? ”

After Lu Bu arrived in Chang'an from the family reunion, he handed over his 5,000 men to Liu Xie, and recommended Cao He and Zhang Xiu, who had always been inseparable from him. It's just that Cao Xing refused to accept Liu Xie's arrangement, and only wanted to stay by Lu Bu's side. Liu Xie was not a strong man, and let Zhang Xiu lead Lu Bu's 5,000 flying bear army, and as for Cao Xing, he followed his wishes and became the head of the Lu Bu family's courtyard.

Now that he heard that Liu Xie had something to call, Cao Xing hurriedly came to inform Lu Bu, but Lu Bu seemed a little indifferent, rubbed his daughter Lu Lingqi's head, and walked out with Cao Xing's steps.

As early as on the way to Chang'an, Lu Bu was mentally prepared for his future, if the court did not use himself, then he would be a rich man with peace of mind, and if the court was ready to use himself, then he would help. For the grand wish he made back then, Lu Bu had already died at this time. He had clearly realized that he did not have the life of the landlord of the king of man, as early as when Xuzhou was forced to surrender to Cao Cao, Lu Bu had approached Chen Deng and asked Chen Deng why he betrayed him. Lu Bu asked himself if he trusted Chen Deng, but even so, Chen Deng did not hesitate when he betrayed him. Lu Bu couldn't figure it out!

And Chen Deng may have been grateful for Lu Bu's trust in him at that time, and in the face of Lu Bu's question, Chen Deng did not hide the reason for Lu Bu. Although the reason was unacceptable for a while, during the period when Cao Cao asked him to send him back to Xu Du to be idle, Lu Bu also pondered carefully, but he was depressed to find that what Chen Deng said was indeed reasonable.

Those who want to achieve great things are either people or famous, and Lu Bu does not occupy any of them. Lu Bu was not born in a family, so he could not easily recruit talents like a family, and Lu Bu first rebelled against Ding Yuan, then Dong Zhuo, and finally betrayed the court, and his reputation was ruined by himself, but anyone who cherishes his name will not choose to be with Lu Bu.

No one is nameless, there is no martial arts, what is suitable for Lu Bu is actually only the choice of relying on others to achieve things, but it is unrealistic to want to turn over and be the master.

Although it is often said that you become a king and lose a hero, the problem is that you must become a king yourself before you can compare others to a loser. Lu Bu can't fight Cao Cao, so naturally he only has the life of defeat. This time, Cao Cao ordered Lu Bu to lead his troops to ambush Yuan Shao, and after receiving the order, Lu Bu began to think, success is naturally the best, but if it fails, what will happen to him.

No matter how Lu Bu thought about it, he felt that he had little chance of success, although he was conceited, but Lu Bu was not arrogant enough to think that he could kill Yuan Shao in an army of hundreds of thousands with only the five thousand people in his hands. Unexpectedly and only had one chance, Lu Bu tried, and the beginning was quite smooth, but in the end it was still a failure. And Cao Cao's performance after the assassination failed, Lu Bu also secretly congratulated himself that he did not sacrifice his decision to complete the task.

That is, when Lu Bu didn't know where he should go to, Liu Xie still didn't give up on himself, and in order to relieve his worries, he secretly ordered someone to quietly rescue Lu Bu's wife and children who were trapped in Xu Du. At this point, even if Lu Bu felt that he had no face to see Liu Xie, he could only go to Chang'an.

Lu Bu thought that he would be ridiculed after arriving in Chang'an, but to his surprise, no one ridiculed him, and Liu Xie handed over his 5,000 men to Zhang Xiu's commander. These 5,000 people are Lu Bu's last family background, without these 5,000 people, Lu Bu will really become a toothless tiger in Chang'an, and he can only be a rich man.

Fortunately, Lu Bu now has both children and daughters, even if he can't fight again, he still has a sustenance mentally. Lu Bu has already made up his mind, and when his son Lu Sheng is older, he will go to beg Liu Xie to find a great Confucian as a teacher for him, as for martial arts, I believe that he is also competent. As for his daughter's arrangement, Lu Bu scratched his head a little, his reputation was not very good, and it seemed a little troublesome to find a good home for his daughter, and he might have to ask Liu Xie for help when the time came.

But if he doesn't make an inch, it seems that it is not easy to open his mouth to Liu Xie. I was a meritorious person at the beginning, but it is impossible to eat it for a lifetime just by relying on this credit. For the sake of the future of his children, Lu Bu's original idea of wanting to be a rich man with peace of mind was unconsciously relaxed. So when Cao Xing came to report the call of the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately prepared to go out.

"The villain is correct, I have seen Wen Hou." A young scribe standing outside the door saw Lu Bu come out and hurriedly saluted.

"You're Fazheng?" Lu Bu asked with some surprise. I have heard of the name of Fa Zheng Lu Bu, the son of Fa Yan, the military master of the begging army, and entered Chang'an almost at the same time as himself.

"It's the villain. Wen Hou, the lord is not in the palace now, please come with the villain. Fa Zheng saw that Lu Bu was about to go in the direction of the palace after getting on the horse, and hurriedly said loudly.

"Huh? Where is the Holy One now? Luebrema asked.

"The Lord's justice is in Yipinju."

Yipinju, a well-known restaurant in Chang'an, Lu Bu has also heard of it, but Lu Bu has lived in a simple house during this time, but he has never been there. Lu Bu asked himself if Fa Zheng had no reason to lie to himself, so he took Cao Xing to Yipinju with Fa Zheng. When he arrived at Yipinju, Lu Bu asked Cao Xing to wait downstairs, and he followed Fa Zheng to the private room on the third floor.

Liu Xie was really there, and when he saw Lu Bu coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "Fengxian, come and sit." ”

"Bu has seen the saint." Lu Bu stepped forward to salute.

"Huh...... Fengxian, this is not in the palace, just be casual. Liu Xie beckoned Lu Bu to sit down, and when Lu Bu sat down, Liu Xie said: "Fengxian, can you feel bored staying at home during this time?" ”

“…… Thank you for your concern, to be honest, the cloth is indeed a little boring. ”

"Then if I find you something to do now, that's fine, right?"

"Let me hear from the Holy Lord." Lu Bu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said to Liu Xie.

"It doesn't have to be that serious. Feng Xian, that's the case, I intend to order you to lead your troops to sit in the Western Regions, I don't know if you are willing? ”

"Let me hear from the Holy Lord." Lu Bu repeated again.

"Fengxian, you have thought about it carefully, if you are really willing to go, then you will have to stay in the Western Regions for three years, and in these three years, you will not be able to return to Chang'an."

“…… Can't I bring my family with me? ”

"The environment in the Western Regions is harsh, and it is not a good place to raise people. And now although the Western Regions has asked the imperial court to clean up, there are a lot of horse thieves, and there is no guarantee of safety, so I don't recommend you to bring your family members with you. Of course, if you insist on bringing your family, you can also bring one or two people with you. But the child should stay in Chang'an, there is a divine doctor Hua Tuo in Chang'an, even if there is a small illness or disaster, he can be treated in time. ”

In ancient times, the infant mortality rate was very high, although Lu Bu was reluctant to part with the child, but when he thought of the child's health, he gave up the plan to take the child to the Western Regions together.

"Holy Lord, I don't know who will be dispatched after Bu goes to the Western Regions?"

“…… Fengxian, I didn't say who I want you to go to. Knowing the begging army, the purpose of transferring you to the Western Regions is to take over from Zhang Ren, the current commander of the begging army. You don't know much about the situation in the Western Regions, but don't worry, Xiaozhi has been in the Western Regions with his father Fa Yan, and he knows a lot about the situation in the Western Regions, and he will tell you in detail when he comes back. ”

“…… Holy Lord, aren't you worried that Bu will give birth to two hearts? Lu Bu couldn't help but ask Liu Xiedao.

"Uh...... It's a lie to say that I'm not worried about it, but I still want to trust you one more time. Feng Xian, you are from a poor background, so the idea of getting ahead is stronger than others, and in order to achieve the goal, the means you use are somewhat unacceptable. Liu Xie scratched his head when he heard this, and said to Lu Bu with a sincere face: "But I have confidence in you, or in myself, what you want, whether it is a high-ranking official or a glorious ancestor, I can satisfy you." As for being the landlord of a generation, you have experienced so much, and I guess you don't have that mind now. And the point is, Bongxian, will you let me trust someone else? ”

Trust, these two words are easy to say, but it is not easy to really do it, Lu Bu's heart fluctuated after listening to Liu Xie's words. After all, he is a martial artist, and he is easier to fool than Sima Yi and Xu Shu's gang of people. Liu Xie's words came out, although he couldn't ask Lu Bu to bow down, but Lu Bu was moved.

"Lu Bu hereby swears that he will not betray the lord for the rest of his life, and if he violates this oath, people and gods will abandon him." Lu Bu knelt on one knee and swore loudly in front of Liu Xie.

Liu Xie waited for Lu Bu to finish his oath, then left his seat to help Lu Bu, and said with a smile: "Okay, Fengxian will not live up to me, and I will not live up to Fengxian." This time I went to the Western Regions to take over the begging army, and I have filial piety to explain the situation of the begging army for you, so I won't go into details, just tell you about the people and horses I arranged for you. Zhang Xiu's 5,000 men will be expanded to 20,000 as your descendants, and on the other hand, Zhang Ren will also take 20,000 people with him when he returns to Chang'an to report on his work. During this time, you will work harder, and run in these 20,000 people as soon as possible to make them a whole. ”

"Don't worry, the lord will move to the barracks when he turns around......"

"That's not necessary, with Zhang Xiu and Cao Xing to help you, you don't have to use the military camp as your home. If you want to stay in the Western Regions for three years, it's better to spend more time with your family. Liu Xie shook his head with a smile when he heard this.

Seeing Liu Xie say this, Lu Bu no longer insisted, listening to Liu Xie's meaning, Zhang Xiu and Cao Xing will serve as their deputy generals, but there are generals without a plan, Lu Bu is still a little worried that he can't cope with the situation in the Western Regions, so he asked Liu Xie: "Lord, Bu has some confidence in martial arts, but he ...... about using his brain."

"Feng Xian don't worry, I have already arranged a military advisor, and this military advisor is still an old acquaintance with you."

"I don't know who?" Lu Bu asked.

"Li Ru, Li Wenyou."

"It's him ......"

"Feng Xian doesn't have to worry about Li Wenyou's personal vendetta, I have clearly told Li Ru that he will only come forward to stop you when you make a wrong decision, usually you just need to follow your own ideas."

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Then I heard Liu Xie say: "Fengxian, the Western Regions are vast, but they are sparsely populated, after the last imperial court's conquest, most of the small countries in the Western Regions have been wiped out by me, but the remnants of those small countries have not been cleared up, and now they have become a group of horse thieves." And your main purpose in the Western Regions is to deal with these horse thieves and ensure the safety and smoothness of the trade routes. As for how to deal with those horse thieves, you can talk to Xiaozhi more when you go back, he has experience in this matter. ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu looked at Fa Zheng who was sitting opposite him, and Fa Zheng smiled when he saw this and arched his hand: "Wen Hou just come to ask, the villain must know everything, and he will say everything." ”

"It's so filial piety." Lu Bu thanked him, and suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression became a little twisted, and he whispered to Liu Xie: "Lord, can you please take a break from filial piety, Bu has something to ask for." ”

Liu Xie didn't believe that Lu Bu would be unfavorable to him at this time, and smiled at Fa Zheng when he heard this: "Xiaozhi, I bother you to urge the shopkeeper, why haven't the wine and food come up yet?" ”

When Fa Zheng went out and closed the door, Liu Xie asked Lu Budao: "Fengxian, why is it so mysterious?" You have to avoid people. ”

"Uh...... Lord, I won't tell you anything, Bu has a female named Lingqi, who is now twenty-nine, but this marriage has not been settled......" Lu Bu said to Liu Xie embarrassedly.

Liu Xie couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this, of course he knew Lu Lingqi, when Lu Bu was still in Chang'an, Liu Xie also met Lu Lingqi, but he didn't expect Lu Bu, a big boss, to worry about his daughter's marriage. Think about it, Lu Bu's reputation is not good, the three surnames are slaves, but as long as he is a good family, it is indeed not easy to treat Lu Bu.

However, the father of this pit baby is still a little self-aware, and he knows that his reputation is not good, so he hit the idea on his head. He is the Son of Heaven, if Lu Lingqi really falls in love with the descendants of which family, as soon as Liu Xie's golden mouth is opened, it will be a marriage, and no one will generally refuse.

"Fengxian, is this good? If you think it's good but Lingqi doesn't like it, won't it hurt Lingqi in the end? Liu Xie didn't dare to agree immediately, and asked hesitantly.

"Well, it's okay, as long as the lord agrees, Bu will go to convince Lingqi. And the cloth will not force Lingqi, everything is up to her. Lu Bu thought about it and said to Liu Xie.

"Cheng, as long as Lingqi is willing, then I will make a decree to give marriage."

……

As soon as the news of Lu Bu's reuse spread, it immediately caused a discussion in the court. Regarding Liu Xie's decision to use Lu Bu, there are those who oppose and those who agree, but those who oppose it account for the majority. The reason is very simple, Lu Bu has repeated it many times, and he should not be gullible, not to mention that he went to the Western Regions to take over the position of the chief general of the begging army. The beggar army has a large number of people, once Lu Bu takes control of the beggar army, if he launches a rebellion, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, opposition is opposition, but it is difficult for Liu Xie to change his decision. Xun Yu, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and others, who could have an impact on Liu Xie's decision, were all silent and silent on the matter. And the rest of the people either have no weight in their words, or they haven't entered Liu Xie's eyes yet.

Lu Bu has heard of the comments of the outside world, and Liu Xie's insistence also made Lu Bu feel moved by the death of a confidant. For Liu Xie's support, Lu Bu knew that the only thing he could do to repay him was to respond to those doubts about himself through his own practical actions.

The 20,000 newly formed Flying Bear Army was in intense training, and in order to train this army as soon as possible, Lu Bu stayed in the barracks almost all day. Lu Bu's reputation is not very good, but his skills are excellent, and through a simple martial arts competition, he will be honest with those thorns in the generals who are not very convinced.

In the army, the strong are respected, even if it is a firehead army, as long as you have the ability, then you can be respected by others, as for personal reputation, that is only secondary. Fighting a war is about killing people, and if you want to live long on the battlefield for a long time, the most effective way is to follow those who have the ability to win the battle. Even then there will be casualties, but those casualties will be much less than following a mediocre general.

In the past few days, Lu Bu has learned about the current situation in the Western Regions from Fa Zheng, and he also took the time to visit Li Ru, after all, he has to partner for three years, and the relationship is too stiff. And Li Ru's resourcefulness, Lu Bu is still very confident. I think that when he assassinated Dong at the beginning, if Li Ru hadn't been alienated by Dong Zhuo at that time, Lu Bu didn't dare to guarantee whether the assassination of Dong would have succeeded.

And Li Ru, as Liu Xie told Lu Bu, did not accept hatred with Lu Bu because Lu Bu killed his father-in-law, or that he should be grateful to Lu Bu. In order to get ahead, Li Ru chose to assist Dong Zhuo, and in order to gain Dong Zhuo's trust, Li Ru married Dong Zhuo's daughter. But although Dong Zhuo's daughter looks like a flower, relying on Dong Zhuo's favor, her temper is not ordinary rude and willful, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Li Ru's married life as dire and miserable.

However, as soon as Dong Zhuo died and the backer fell, Dong Zhuo's daughter became "virtuous", and she was obedient to Li Ru, so that Li Ru finally realized what it means to turn over as a serf and sing.

On the school grounds

Seeing Zhang Xiu and Cao Xing each leading a team of cavalry to attack, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod slightly, the 15,000 people that Liu Xie allocated to him were all veterans, and they had been in the army for at least two years.

"Wen Hou, the lord has taken on a lot of pressure in order to let you lead the troops this time." Li Ru on the side suddenly said coldly.

"Wenyou, are you worried that I will repeat?"

"It's false to say that I'm not worried, I'm afraid that only the lord in this world will trust you like that. So I want to say ugly things in front, Wen Hou, if you give birth to two hearts in the future, although Li Ru has no power to restrain the chicken, he will also take your life to repay the lord. ”

“…… Wen You, then you should watch it. "Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
