Chapter 021: The First Encounter with Song
Lu Bu became more and more fond of the feeling of galloping on a horse, especially after he became familiar with the Dawan BMW named "Chi Su" under his crotch, and he had a cool feeling of driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom for a ride. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It can go down in history and is indeed a rare and excellent horse. This sweaty BMW from Dawan is not only fit and slender, but also full of endurance and spirituality. Other horses are chosen by their owners, and it picks its owners.
According to what Li Su later said in a private chat with Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo had been carefully bred for two years since he got Chisu, but he didn't dare to ride it, just because Chisu refused to let Dong Zhuo carry it. Although Dong Zhuo is violent, he is not good at competing with a beast, so he can only be kept in the stable to watch. Miraculously, after Lu Bu got Chi Su, his first ride went smoothly, and he didn't encounter Dong Zhuo's troubles at all.
Lu Bu among the people, and the red rabbit among the horses. It seems that it is destined that this divine horse should follow Lu Bunan to fight in the north.
Lu Bu led the team chasing Cao Cao forward quickly, and ran until Qu Yuju came to a halt. This was once the ancient battlefield where Liu Bang defeated the Qin general Yang Xiong, but today it is about to usher in a unique gathering.
LΓΌ Bu ordered the troops to be dispersed within a radius of five miles, forming a pocket, just waiting for Chen Gong and Cao Cao to get in by themselves.
At first, when he caught up with Chen Gong, the reason why Lu Bu didn't do it immediately was just because there were pedestrians on both sides of the road in that area, and if the news leaked, it would affect Lu Bu's follow-up plans. Qu Yuju is different here, not only is it sparsely populated, but there is also a river canal not far ahead, which just blocks the road. As long as Chen Gong and Cao Cao didn't grow wings, they wouldn't be able to escape Lu Bu's palm today.
Around noon, Chen Gong and his entourage finally walked into the encirclement set by Lu Bu. When the team turned around a mound, they saw a military general with a crescent halberd and riding on the back of a red horse, just across the road in a good time.
Chen Gong had a bad feeling. He pretended to be calm, took a few steps forward, saluted Lu Bu, and then asked, "Dare to ask why General Lu is blocking the road here?" β
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with a smile and said something that made Chen Gong unable to hear the positive and negative. "Brother Gongtai, you are also hard enough to help Cao Heizi!"
"Please forgive the palace for being dull, I don't know what the general said." Chen Gong lied.
"Haha......" Lu Bu raised his head and laughed, then pointed at a middle-aged man with a short stature and dark complexion in the crowd with the tip of his halberd, and said loudly: "Brother Meng De, even if you have a long beard, it's just a trick, do you want to invite you out to meet?!" β
When Cao Cao of the crowd heard this, he also laughed loudly, ripped off the fake beard on his face, walked to Chen Gong's side generously, and hugged his fist towards Lu Bu on the horse. "The one who wears the guilt has seen the tiger general!"
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, and commanded Xue Lan, who was hiding in the distance, "It's time to collect the team!" Let the troops camp on the spot and prepare to bury the pot and cook. β
Xue Lan then got up from one pile of grass, pulled out his horse from another pile of grass, and rode to gather his troops.
Cao Cao watched Xue Lan's swift movements, and there was envy in his eyes.
Chen Gong hadn't understood what Lu Bu was doing, and asked, "Isn't General Lu in a hurry to escort a certain and Cao Gong back to Luoyang to receive the reward?" β
Lu Bu joked: "What's the urgency here? I have a thousand light horsemen, and I'm afraid you won't be able to fly away? After tossing for most of the day, everyone is quite tired, so find a place to rest and brag first, and it's not too late to talk about official business again. β
Chen Gong believed it and lowered his head a little depressedly. He was not afraid of being sent by Lu Bu to Luoyang to cut off his head, he was depressed because he thought it would be more certain to help Cao Cao escape, but it turned out that he was implicating Cao Cao.
The servants of Zhongmu County who came out on business with Chen Gong were all frightened, and they were tied up by a group of cavalry, strung into a sugar gourd, and imprisoned in a temporary camp.
In the makeshift marching tent, Lu Bu sat on a wooden pier in the middle, Cao Cao and Chen Gong sat on either side, and Xue Lan stood behind Lu Bu with a bow and crossbow.
Lu Bu asked Cao Cao: "Meng De is going to Chenliu here, but he wants to recruit troops?" β
The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything. It's really a fucking evil sect, how can this Lu Fengxian know everything? I thought he was a vulgar martial artist, but I didn't expect a thief.
Lu Bu didn't wait for Cao Cao's answer, so he continued to muttered to himself: "What can you do by going to Chenliu to recruit troops in a hurry? If you want to oppose Dong, you have to unite the forces of the states and counties east of Hujiao Pass, otherwise it will not be enough to rely on thousands of soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will not be enough to stuff the teeth of the Xiliang army! β
Chen Gong and Cao Cao were taken aback by Lu Bu's self-talk, how did the anti-Dong words come out of the mouth of the loyal dog Lu Bu?
"Do you think I'm crazy?" Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao and Chen Gong with a smile, but no matter how you look at this smile, it makes people shudder.
Cao Cao and Chen Gong are both resourceful people, and when they understand that when they are in danger, it is best not to talk nonsense, otherwise there will be absolutely no good end. Since they couldn't figure out Lu Bu's true intentions, they simply kept their mouths shut and saw what Lu Bu could say.
"I've never been Dong Zhuo's person, it's ridiculous that there are so many people in Luoyang City who think I'm Dong Zhuo's loyal dog! If it weren't for me to defend the palace and not give some people a chance to get close to the little emperor, do you think Dong Zhuo would have cut off some people's brains? When Dong Zhuo first entered Beijing, it was only 3,000 light cavalry, who sat back and watched Dong Zhuo annex He Jin and He Miao's soldiers and horses, and then waited for Xiliang's 100,000 troops? β
"Dong Zhuo said in the court that he would depose the young emperor, but only Lu Shangshu stood up and spoke out against it! The Yuan family was deeply favored by the emperor, where were the people at that time? The most ridiculous thing is that when the young emperor was deposed, the old thief Yuan Kui personally untied the jade seal from Liu Xian's waist, and then gave Liu Xie to wear it on his waist. After Liu Xie ascended the throne, Yuan Kuiguan worshiped Taifu, it turned out that this was the merit of support! In my opinion, there is no difference between the princes of the court and Dong Zhuo, they are all silverfish raised by the Han Dynasty! β
Lu Bu's words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time made Cao Cao and Chen Gong unable to argue at all.
"That's it, after all that, it's all delayed business. In this way, among the two of you, I can only let one go, otherwise I will make the world think that I, Lu Fengxian, am a straw bag, with a thousand light horses, and I can't even catch a single person. Either Brother Meng De will go back to Luoyang with me, and I will pretend not to know what Brother Gongtai has done; Either Brother Gongtai and I will go back to Luoyang, and I will report to Dong Zhuo that it was the lieutenant of Zhongmu County who let Cao Mengde go without permission. β
"I'll stay, let Meng De leave!" Chen Gong immediately spoke, and without hesitation, he left the hope of life to Cao Cao and the danger of death to himself.
Cao Cao opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. At this time, if he is a hero, if Lu Bu brings him back to Luoyang, he will die.
This is what Lu Bu wanted, looked at the expressions on the faces of the two left and right, and said, "Okay, this matter is decided!" I will send Brother Meng De two fast horses, you will ride away quickly, I will be here for a few days, and then return to Luoyang with Lieutenant Chen! β
Cao Cao bowed down to Chen Gong and bowed deeply, and said: "Brother Gongtai is righteous, and he will remember this life." β
Chen Gong waved his hand and smiled bitterly, and said: "It was my lack of work that almost harmed Meng De's life, and I can exchange this life for Meng De's life, and death is blind!" β
