44 The imperial court was furious and reprimanded Zhang Wen, and Lü Bu was ordered to aid Dong Zhuo.

"Bump!" A wine cup made of pure gold was smashed to the ground by Emperor Han Ling, and most of the ministers in the court were too frightened to speak.

"I asked Zhang Wen to solve the Xiliang rebels in three months, but in less than a month, it was rumored that he was defeated by the Xiliang rebels! Impotent! "Emperor Han Ling was furious, originally Emperor Han Ling wanted to let this rebellion be resolved quickly, but not only did he fail to complete this idea, but the 200,000 troops before and after the imperial court failed to eliminate the Xiliang rebels for several months, and the Xiliang rebels took the advantage! In this way, the untouchables in the world will inevitably be lucky, and I don't know how many people will learn from Han Sui and others to rebel.

"Xuan Zhen's will, strip Zhang Wen of the incompetent position, and punish him for three years, no, I will punish him for ten years! Hum! Let Dong Zhuoxian replace Zhang Wen as the commander of the crusade army. Emperor Han Ling said angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry, it is not surprising that a corrupt Confucian like Zhang Wen, who usually only boasts, has been defeated, and the slave has a candidate in his heart who can share his worries for His Majesty." Zhang Rang said softly in a feminine voice.

Emperor Han Ling immediately turned his anger into joy and asked, "Who is the candidate for Father?" Speak and listen. ”

"This person has excellent martial arts skills and is known to be a commander of troops. The most rare thing is that he has always been loyal and unparalleled, which is rare in the world" Zhang Rang praised the person he wanted to promote, and when he saw that Emperor Han Ling had been aroused, he said without hurrying: "This person is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, who is currently the general of the Hun Zhonglang." ”

"It's him!" Above the court, all the civil and military officials talked about it when they heard Lu Bu's name. This is because Lu Bu has been very eye-catching in recent years, and Lu Bu is most famous in the world for his 'martial arts' and 'cultural governance'. Lü Bu killed people in several battles with the steppe tribes, and also used the corpses of his enemies to build a terrifying structure called 'Jingguan'. This made many grassland people frightened, hated and feared Lu Bu. He not only defeated some powerful tribes of Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu on the grassland, but also suppressed the Yellow Turban Army uprising in the Nanyang area, which can be said to be very eye-catching in terms of 'martial arts'. However, Lü Bu treated the people under his rule with great benevolence and righteousness. Not only did they send people to help some poor people and the lonely old people who lost their sons and husbands because of the fighting, but they also often cracked down on local robbers and bandits, so that Wuyuan County and Yanmen County, two small border counties that were originally remote and desolate, became rich and stable medium-sized counties. Most of the poor peasants and displaced people who couldn't survive in Bingzhou and Jizhou went to Wuyuan County and Yanmen County with their families, and they went to Lu Bu's reputation for benevolence, righteousness and wisdom, which also reflected Lu Bu's 'cultural governance'.

He is not a child of a family, but he is a man who is both civil and military. He is not a famous and powerful family, but he has abundant financial resources, and gold and silver are like dung. He's murderous and cruel. But he loves the people like a son, he governs the army strictly, but he cares for the soldiers. Lu Bu's contradiction made people all over the world curious about him, and he received mixed reviews for a while.

Emperor Ling of Han doesn't care if Lu Bu's spear is not contradictory, as long as Lu Bu can help him exterminate the Xiliang rebels, even if Lu Bu is a yin and yang person (eunuch?). Emperor Han Ling wouldn't care either. "Good! Since Lu Bu has this ability, let him lead his headquarters to the front line in the starry night, well, if Lu Bu can solve the Xiliang rebels within three months, I will be rewarded! Retreat. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"

Emperor Han Ling was happy, but He Jin secretly gritted his teeth, and recently He Jin felt more and more that Lu Bu's dog was disobedient. First of all, Lu Bu has donated less and less treasures and gold and silver in the past few months, and secondly, Lu Bu has become closer and closer to Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. He Jin sometimes wonders, is Lu Bu's dog going to call him to Luoyang to teach him a lesson? However, now that Lu Bu's power has become bigger and bigger, if his means are too intense, he may completely push Lu Bu to Zhang Rang's side. Therefore, He Jin already regretted that he had connived at Lu Bu to step on two boats, and he should have let him choose a camp while Lu Bu had just entered Luoyang. Oh, remorse.

Not mentioning what kind of remorse He Jin had in his heart, but said that the 'angel' sent by Emperor Han Ling (this angel is not the other angel~) hurried overnight and finally came to Lu Bu's Hun Zhonglang General's Mansion in the middle of April of the third year of Zhongping.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Order the Hun Zhonglang general Lu Bu, lead the headquarters of the tiger Ben to the Chang'an front line camp to support the broken general Dong Zhuo, if you can eliminate Han Suibianzhang's Xiliang rebels within three months, I will not hesitate to reward! Chin this. ”

"Chen Lu Bu takes the order!"

After sending away the 'angel' of Emperor Ling of Han, Lü Bu summoned his Wenchen and Wufu at the General's Mansion to discuss important matters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone already knows the will of the Son of Heaven, so if you have any questions, just ask." Lu Bu said with a smile.

It was the frustrated professor who had replaced Cai Yong as the chief internal affairs official under Lu Bu who was the first to ask: "When the Son of Heaven summons, the lord will naturally go, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses you need to bring to assist Dong Zhuo in conquering the Xiliang rebels?" ”

Lu Bu touched the beard that had just grown on his upper lip and asked, "Gonghe, how many soldiers and horses do I have in Wuyuan County and Yanmen County now?" ”

"According to the orders of the lord, after several selections, the regular army of Wuyuan County and Yanmen County has more than 80,000 people. In addition, we also have 4,000 people from General Gao Shun's recently replenished trapping camp, 3,000 people from General Zhang Fei's Tiefutu, 7,000 people from Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under the joint leadership of General Zhang Liao and General Zhao Yun, and 8,000 people from General Huang Zhong's shooting battalion, totaling more than 102,000 people. This is not counting the number of 30,000 or 40,000 county soldiers who joined the cities and counties after being eliminated. "I have a lot of information about Lu Bu's rule.

Lu Bu saw that Zhang Fei, surnamed Cao and others were more or less proud after listening to the frustrated report, and couldn't help but shake their heads and said, "It's too little, it's too slow." ”

Zhang Fei was not convinced when he heard Lu Bu's words, "Brother, your requirements are too high." We started from scratch and now have an army of more than 100,000 in just a few years, and the eldest brother is still too young to have a small army? ”

"Hehe, it's not that I'm demanding, it's that you don't see that we don't have much time to develop wantonly. Emperor Han Ling didn't have a few years to live. As long as Emperor Ling of Han dies, the mess he left behind will be handed over to his young son to bear, do you think that a little emperor who is less than ten years old can save this devastated Han family? Hmph, the best result is to live in this world as a puppet of a relative. At that time, the royal family will lose its prestige, and the struggle of the princes of the world will begin. We are congenitally inferior to the prosperous areas of the Central Plains in terms of population and economy, and it will take us several years to recruit 100,000 soldiers, and it will only take a few months for them to recruit 200,000 and 300,000! We may have a little bit of an advantage at the beginning, but as soon as those super families make a move, we will be beaten back to square one. Lu Bu said flatly.

"Big brother, how can there be such a family force in this world?" Zhang Liao was a little unconvinced.

"Hehe, you're really lonely. Don't say anything else, let's talk about the Nanyang Yuan family. They are four generations and three dukes, and most of the officials in the world are out of their influence, as long as the Yuan family ascends to the top, all the assassin officials in Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jizhou will bow down to the Yuan family. There are also the four major families in Jiangdong, the Gongsun family in Youzhou, the Tao family in Xuzhou, the Cao family in Yanzhou, and so on. These big families either occupy a county, or occupy a county, and some even occupy a state! Their starting point is higher than ours, and their development will be smoother than ours, but in the future, we will not only have to deal with the princes, but also face the increasingly powerful steppe people! If those steppe people knew that our Han princes were divided, would they obediently watch the play on the sidelines? If they were going to attack the Great Han, do you know where they would be the first to fight? I tell you! It's a state! And now, some of you are still rejoicing in the mere 100,000 people, unconcerned about the difficult situation we will face in the future! I was really disappointed. Lu Bu said that at the end, he made a disappointed expression.

Zhang Fei, Cao and the others were silent, of course, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Xu You, who had just invested in the crime, all knew that although Lu Bu's words just now had some truth, most of them were to scare Zhang Fei and the others, in order to warn them not to be arrogant.

Lu Bu saw that his words had achieved his goal, so he didn't continue to scare people. "Alright, just keep what you said in mind, and now I'll announce the list of people who will go on my expedition this time." Lu Bu began to issue general orders, "Bo level, your trapping camp, Yide, your Tiefutu, Zilong Wenyuan, your Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and finally Hansheng, your shooting battalion, all of these are brought to me, Yuan Hao and Ziyuan are the staff officers of our army." The rest of the men and sergeants do not need to be dispatched, and it is good to train here to guard against attacks on the steppe. We must remember one thing in this attack, we must not have any contradictions with our colleague Dong Zhuo this time, even if his subordinates bully you, you can hold back for me! This is related to my next plan, and I can also tell you a piece of news that Dong Zhuo is the biggest culprit who will destroy the Han family's world in the future! It is also the biggest helper who can help me Lu Bu complete the hegemony, you must remember it for me, do you hear? ”

"No!"

In 186 AD, at the beginning of May of the third year of Zhongping, Lü Bu brought an elite army of 22,000 people to the front-line camp where the Han official army fought against the Xiliang rebels.

"Hahahaha, this must be General Lu, as the rumors say, he is a talent, majestic and majestic." Dong Zhuo has an indescribable love for military generals, especially after experiencing the 'military general tragedy' in Guangzong City, Dong Zhuo's pursuit of peerless military generals has reached the realm of madness.

"Lu Bu has seen General Dong." Lu Bu returned the salute below.

Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu introduced each other to their generals after they met, and when Dong Zhuo introduced Zhang Ji, Lu Bu smiled at Dong Zhuo and said, "General Dong, does General Zhang Ji have a nephew named Zhang Xiu?" ”

Dong Zhuo didn't know much about this, and looked back at Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji hurriedly asked anxiously: "Yes, my eldest brother only has one single seedling, and his name is indeed Zhang Xiu." Now that he is studying under his tutelage, I wonder how the general knows about him? Could something had happened to him? ”

"Hahaha, General Zhang Ji doesn't have to worry, it's just that your nephew's master is also my second master, Master Tong Yuan, and I'm his senior brother." Lu Bu laughed.

With Zhang Xiu's relationship, Dong Zhuo and Zhang Ji had a great impression of Lu Bu, who was handsome and chic, young and talented, and was rumored to be excellent in martial arts.
