Chapter 18 Some people rejoice and some people are sad
Speechless all the way, with no time to enjoy the scenery along the way, Lu Hua and the others ran their horses by themselves, and finally returned to the Tiger Prison Pass.
As soon as he entered the gate, Hua Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he was sure that he had really survived. He bowed to Lu Bu, "General Xie risked death to save him!" ”
Lu Bu said with a smile after hearing this,
"It's okay, you and I are both generals under the Lord's account, so why bother to say thank you. Look at you like this, the injury is not light, why don't you go to the bandaging medical treatment sooner. ”
"Come on, help me to the wounded barracks. The general went to the general hall to rest, bandaged it, and then came. ”
"Go, go, leave me alone."
The two soldiers supported Hua Xiong and limped down for treatment.
Along the way, Hua Xiong asked the soldiers beside him to know who the general was.
A pawn said, "General Hui, that person came from Luoyang with reinforcements, it seems that his name is Lu, and his subordinates are not very clear." ”
Well? He is Lu Bu, the righteous son that the lord just accepted, and the lord even gave him Chitu, which seems to be true.
It turned out that Li Ru had already explained many matters in his previous letters, including Lu Bu's affairs.
You have to entertain people later, he is a life-saving benefactor and a confidant of the lord, so he has to behave well.
made up his mind, walked to the wounded barracks and received treatment.
Just as he was bandaging, there was a congratulatory sound in his ears
"Congratulations to the general, take the first credit for guarding the tiger prison! Although the general was slightly injured, he made great contributions, and his subordinates should follow the general's example! ”
It's not that Zhang Ji, who is it? He didn't seem to get the news, and thought that Hua Xiong had destroyed the enemy's vanguard and came here to flatter.
Seeing Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong's stomach was on fire, "Congratulations to your grandma, listen to your bullshit advice, your life was almost killed by you!" ! ”
Zhang Ji looked confused, how can I still be angry, even if I don't have credit, I have hard work, ask Huaxiong carefully.
Hua Xiong explained everything that happened just now to Zhang Ji, the more Zhang Ji listened, the more frightened he became, the more he listened, the more panicked he became, and later, he knelt down and begged for mercy, "The general is angry, I didn't know that the enemy army would be so cunning, set up an ambush, and wanted to harm the general, and I thought that the general would win a big victory, so I came here to congratulate." I... ”
"Do you think you should get out?"
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will get out!" Anyway, I want to escape from this place.
"Slow!" Hua Xiong's shouts came from behind.
"Will. General, what else? ”
"Go and bring out the good wine I have hidden, the deepest jar!"
"It was given to the general by the lord, and the general has been reluctant to drink, why today...
"If you are told to go, you will go, where is there so much nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut you!" Shouted in a feigned rage.
Zhang Ji didn't dare to stay here any longer, for fear that Hua Xiong would really fly over with an axe and slip faster than the frightened rabbit, "Yes, yes, my subordinates will go." ”
ordered Zhang Ji to take wine, and ordered to kill pigs and cattle left and right, and set up a banquet.
However, it was said that Lu Bu rescued Huaxiong and returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, so he wandered around the pass and enjoyed the scene.
Just after the cold winter, in the early spring, there are occasional rainy and sunny, today, it is just a sunny day, although it is late, the afterglow of the sunset falls on the city wall, reflecting a different kind of brilliance. The city wall is about seven or eight zhang high, the momentum is magnificent, and people have a sense of oppression, the stone is solid, indestructible, and very breakable. The female walls are neatly arranged on the city wall, which are used for archery guarding the pass, with an even spacing and reasonable arrangement, and are used for archery guarding the pass.
This pass, easy to defend, difficult to attack, worthy of Luoyang's biggest barrier.
When he was emotional, the herald came to invite, "General Lu, General Huaxiong has invited the general to the general's hall for a banquet to repay the general's life!" ”
Well, I'm a little hungry myself, and I have something to eat, so I don't go in vain.
"But there's wine!"
"General Hua has prepared wine and food, just waiting for the general to go to the banquet!"
"Lead the way, you want to taste what kind of good wine it is."
Follow all the way, not in a moment, the leader retreated, Bu stepped into the general hall, saw the left and right deputy generals, bowed his hand, the left side of the main seat, Hua Xiong who bandaged the white cloth strip with one hand, saw Lu Bu coming, got up to greet him.
Lu Bu always wanted to say some polite words, chattered a few words, and saw that there was no place to sit around, and he had doubts, so he asked Hua Xiong,
"I, where do you sit?"
I saw that Hua Xiong pointed to the main general's position, the general's seat, right there.
"How can this be done? A certain is just a general, how can he sit on the general's main seat. ”
Before Hua Xiong could speak, someone on the side stood up and explained,
"Fengxian, according to the order of the military division, when you arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, you are the main general, sit in the position of general, as it should be, don't shirk any more, hurry up and have a banquet, everyone can't wait!" The speaker was none other than Li Dao, who came with Lu Bu.
This Dong Zhuo and Li Ru trust me so much and let me be the main general, it's amazing.
After listening to Li Dao's explanation, Lu Bu didn't shirk too much, and went straight to the main position in the middle and raised his wine glass.
"I don't know how to speak, thanks to the wrong love of the lord and the army, now the main general, I will do my best, but I still need your assistance, I hope you don't hide. Serve first, do it first! ”
The wine enters the throat, luscious and mellow, and the aftertaste is endless.
Drink it all, and there is not a single thing left. Everyone raised their glasses and drank, "I am willing to do my best to assist the general and serve the lord!" ”
At the banquet, many people raised their glasses to toast, Lu Bu responded one by one, and many people were drunk but Bu was not drunk.
Everyone praised the general for his good drinking.
The staggered bargaining, the wine and meat are non-stop, and it is a lively scene, which is not at all like facing a great enemy. Then for three nights in a row, the wine and banquet were set up, and it was happy and happy.
Compared to here, there was no such atmosphere in Sun Jian's camp, the wounded rested close to each other, and occasionally the night patrol soldiers changed shifts, and Sun Jian and several of his subordinates were still thinking about the battle of the day and discussing the next strategy.
"Guys, what are we going to do next?" Sun asked
Cheng Pu proposed, "Why don't you go to the pre-guan challenge again?" ”
Sun Jian vetoed, "No, you haven't seen the generals who came to help today, the power of ghosts and gods is not something that one person can match." ”
Zu Mao mentioned again, "Then we are here waiting for the army to come?" ”
Huang Gai spoke, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if you don't hide it from the lord, the grain and grass in the army will not support it for many days."
Sun Jian was surprised, "Then Yuan Shu didn't allocate military rations?" ”
Huang Gai said truthfully, "There is not a stone! ”
"What does this Yuan Shu mean?! Do you want to watch our army starve to death?! The order is that the whole army is ready to retreat tomorrow and turn with the army, so I have to ask this Yuan Shu, what does this move mean? ! Sun Jian made the final decision.
Everyone promised.
Looking at the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass, Sun Jian said silently, Lu Fengxian, we will meet again.
Lu Bu, who was still drinking wine and eating meat, would never have thought that someone would care about him like this.
But it's not just Lu Bu and others who are drinking and having fun, Luoyangli, Dong Zhuo's Mansion, as in the past, wine and meat ponds, and sheng songs have not stopped.
Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and other generals and ministers under the account were all at the venue.
Singing and dancing, a herald soldier quietly approached Li Ru, saying something in his ear, Li Ru listened to it, laughed, attracting everyone's attention.
Dong Zhuo wondered, how could he be okay just now, how would he hear any news, and he was happy to be like this.
Put down the wine glass in his hand, push away the maid in his arms, and asked.
"Strategist, what good news have you heard, and you are so happy to laugh, why don't you say it, so that everyone will be happy."
Li Ru closed his voice, but he still couldn't hide his smile.
Pick up the flask, pour a full glass of wine for the glass in front of him, and raise it with both hands.
"Li Ru congratulates the lord, congratulations to the lord!"
Dong Zhuo still doesn't understand, why did he suddenly congratulate me, isn't it a group of heroes who are in civil strife? The coalition is self-defeating? Or did the concubine give birth to me again? But you don't have to talk to the military advisor?
"Strategist, you don't have to sell it, we are all curious, just tell it quickly, what is the good news."
The crowd agreed.
