Chapter 215: Trivia
Wei Yan was transferred by Lu Bu from Yiwu to Meridian, and there was not a single savage in the canyon, so there were enemy soldiers. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Wei Yan sighed stupidly, sat on the gate and took a sip of spirits, borrowing wine to drown his sorrows. The wine was sad, Yin's red face became more and more red, and the whole person was groggy and tired.
"A certain general, Li He charged into battle, but he was placed in a quiet place...... Ay. Wei Yan sighed while drinking, his heart full of resentment.
"Do you have a grudge?"
A very abrupt voice sounded from behind Wei Yan. Hearing the familiar and unfamiliar voice, Wei Yan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his slightly smoked head instantly sobered up, and he hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Yan has seen Ming Gong." β
Lu Bu withdrew his gaze from Wei Yan, who felt relieved, and Lu Bu's cold eyes made Wei Yan's heart tremble. Lu Bu's gaze fell to the distance of the canyon, and he asked seriously, "Does Wen Chang have any insights these days?" β
Wei Yan saw that Lu Bulai was not asking for guilt, but seemed to be coming to enlighten him, his heart was slightly moved, and he began to be high-spirited: "A certain guard this pass, send someone to explore the Meridian Valley, he is willing to take 5,000 elite soldiers out of the Meridian Valley one day, follow the Qinling Mountains to the west, and throw himself into the south, take the road to Nanzheng, and Hanzhong is at his fingertips." β
Lu Bu threw Wei Yan here, there was a hint of reminding Wei Yan to take Hanzhong from the Meridian Valley, and there was another layer of meaning, Wei Yan only understood one layer of intention, which made Lu Bu slightly disappointed and a little relieved, no wonder Wei Yan became a victim of history like himself, how similar this political mind was to his former self. Pay attention only to the good, ignore the mistakes.
"The top priority is not Hanzhong, the west is unstable, and Guanzhong is difficult to settle. These days, have you only thought about how to use the army, and not why you have been placed here? β
Wei Yan was silent, staring directly at Lu Bu. Lu Bu knew from Wei Yan's expression that he didn't have a trace of regret, with his proud and stinky temper, no wonder many literati were reluctant to associate with him, no wonder he couldn't be reused under Liu Biao. Lu Bu admired Liu Bei's mind a little, at least Liu Bei could endure Wei Yan and entrust him with a big responsibility.
"If Wen Chang didn't take Yiwu last time, did he think about the consequences?"
"Isn't that taking it down?" Wei Yan was faintly unhappy, if someone else came to ask, it was very likely that he would immediately turn his face and get angry.
"To do great things, we must first seek defeat, and then seek victory. It is necessary to consider the impact of failure and take timely measures to remedy it. If Hewu can't be taken, or if Wu Xi ignores Hewu's gains and losses and insists on attacking Xinfeng and Lantian, then how can the troops of my troops in the area of Qingni Pass come north? Can your arrogant personality tolerate you, and what about the generals under your command? Lu Bu found that it was very difficult to talk to Wei Yan, and he couldn't communicate at all.
"The last general is afraid, please punish the public." Wei Yan was sweating profusely, he used Lu Bu's great cause to test Lu Bu's mind, and used Lu Bu's great cause to win his personal reputation, and won Yiwu in just one day, Wei Yan's reputation was far and wide, and Lu Bu did not anger him because of this, he did it, but his heart was lost. Lu Bu's words made him regret it very much, to put it bluntly, he was a person who did things without regard for the end. And Lu Bu seemed to tolerate his arrogance and temptation, which made Wei Yan very ashamed.
"Thank you for the public explanation. Extend the oath: From now on, swear to follow the lord to the death and never rebel. At this moment, Wei Yanzheng sincerely and willingly followed Lu Bu. In the past, he came to vote, but no one gave him the opportunity to display his talents, and he never planned to follow Lu Bu on the battlefield all the time, and there was a better choice to still leave. Lu Bu showed a mind far beyond the ordinary overlord, and his tolerance for his subordinates is rarely compared, such a lord does not follow, can he follow a suspicious lord like Cao Cao?
"In the past, you were unfavorable everywhere, because of your character, your character is worrying, so you can do it yourself." Lu Bu admonished earnestly.
Wei Yan was very grateful to Lu Bu for his sincere treatment, and bowed: "The last general will definitely be controlled in the future." β
"This opportunity to employ people, the matter in Hanzhong will be put aside for the time being. If a certain takes Hanzhong, Wen Chang should be the main general. Lu Bu promised.
LΓΌ Bu ordered Wei Yan to go to Chencang first, and he returned to Jianzhang Palace to see if Zhang in Chang'an was making trouble. Originally, Lu Bu missed his daughter very much, it has been more than a month since he was born, and Lu Bu has not seen each other, no matter how much he doubted whether it was his daughter before, when he heard that she was born, Lu Bu still had irrepressible fatherly love in his heart.
Even the belligerent eldest daughter Lu Qiling didn't know why she stayed in Wuguan, putting aside her worries about charging into battle, and she was very worried. Lu Bu ordered someone to escort his family to Chang'an, but he has not yet arrived, but he only heard that Yan Lin is sick in bed and has difficulty moving. If it weren't for the military emergency, Lu Bu would have wanted to go to Wuguan to see what was going on.
Zhang Ji still defended Chang'an and did not send a single soldier out to fight. Lu Bu ascended to the lookout platform outside the city and looked down on the city, where countless old and weak people lined up in a phalanx were being trained. It turned out that the soldiers in the city could barely defend the city, and they did not have the strength to go out of the city to fight, or they were waiting for the opportunity.
"Gongtai beware of Chang'an, don't let Zhang Ji lead his troops out of the city at the critical moment of my decisive battle with Xiliang." Chang'an can't take it is a thorn in Lu Bu's heart, and he can't go all out to deal with the Xiliang army. And Chang'an was too strong, and Lu Bu couldn't take it before the Xiliang army counterattacked.
Lu Bu left Jianzhang Palace and went to Ganquan Palace to check. Just in case Jianzhang Palace was suddenly broken by Zhang Ji, so he could retreat to Ganquan Palace. Lu Bu didn't dare to leave the defending army to block Zhang Ji's surprise attack, and he had to make several preparations. Now is not the past, he could only gamble in the past, now is not the time to gamble, there is a way out, who has the confidence to gamble.
Ganquan Palace is the palace of the Qin period, mainly used for summer and alchemy, the front hall, the purple hall and so on are very well preserved, located on the top of the mountain easy to defend and difficult to attack. From afar, you can see the Tongtiantai standing on the top of the mountain, and there is a Dan furnace on the platform that can only be surrounded by seven or eight big men, and the smooth appearance reflects the dazzling sunlight.
Lu Bu ascended to the top of the sky step by step, and took in Chang'an City at a glance. Looking around, you can see Tongguan in the east, Feng Yi in the north, Chencang in the west, Lantian in the south, and the endless plains in full view. No wonder the Qin Emperor and Han Wu will make alchemy here, a good feng shui treasure.
"Send someone to move the Dan furnace away, and then build a beacon tower here." Lu Bu was not ashamed of destroying the monuments at all. When a strong enemy came, Lu Bu tensed his nerves again, and even dreamed of thinking about what strategy to use to break the enemy. His keen instinct for the battlefield, the first thing that comes to mind when he sees the rooftop, is to apply it to war.
There are dry weeds on one side around the rooftop, and there are many precious trees that have lost their leaves in the middle, and the ancient emperor's palace is desolate.
"Let's get rid of those weeds somewhere."
"General, these are not weeds, this is the royal fairy grass garden. Because of the decay of the royal family, there is no one to rest. The little lieutenant who accompanied Lu Bu smiled bitterly.
Lu Bu didn't know Qi Huang in his later life, so he handed over this medicine garden to which medical craftsmen with superb medical skills to deal with. The war is imminent, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the army, and there is a medicine garden that can treat countless wounded soldiers. There is a shortage of herbs in Lu Bu's army.
