Lu Buxi returned from the expedition and successfully won the support of the people of the four counties, starting from Lintao, the villagers and gentry of all counties spontaneously flocked to both sides of the official road, eating pot pulp, and sending off the road.

"Filial piety, Ji Chang, look, that's Wenhou Lu Bu!"

Cai Yong stroked his hair with one hand, pointed to Lu Bu, who was riding a horse and walking in front of the army, and turned back to the group of scribes behind him and said.

Following Cai Yong's point, the group of Confucian scholars behind him raised their eyes to look, and suddenly, a burst of scorching golden light pierced their faces, and these scribes quickly covered their eyes. When the golden light had dissipated, the scribes laid down their robes and looked at the leading generals.

After admiring for a while, a young scribe with a clear face and a mustache at the corner of his mouth took the lead in saying: "A pair of eyes shoot cold stars, two sword eyebrows are like paint, and the chest is broad, with the majesty of ten thousand invincibles. Wen Hou is really majestic and mighty! ”

Next to the young scribe, a Confucian with a delicate face, a white face and beard, and white hair mixed with his eyebrows, also nodded and said: "The words are high-spirited, and the ambition of a thousand feet is Lingyun; The heart is bold and bold, like a lion descending from the clouds; The bones are strong and the muscles are strong, such as shaking the ground Pixiu to the seat, and it is really "Lu Bu among the people, and the red rabbit among the horses"

As soon as the words of the two fell, they immediately attracted a chorus of echoes, but there was no shortage of people who refuted them.

"Hmph, like a river again? Isn't it an eagle dog who is willing to be Dong Zhuo? ”

"Yes, as a general of the Han Dynasty, he doesn't think about the side of the king, except for the traitors, but helps the gang to abuse, blocking the princes of the eighteen towns from entering the king of Jingqin, which is no different from a thief!"

"Don't forget, the crimes committed by Dong Zhuo when he moved west, Lu Bu is an eagle dog under his account, and he can't get rid of it!"

Speaking of Dong Zhuo's westward migration, the faces of many scribes suddenly became extremely blue, and they gritted their teeth. It was as if he wanted to dig up Dong Zhuo's corpse and whip the corpse, even Cai Yong was an exception, although he didn't hate Dong Zhuo, but when he thought of the stone scriptures that he had worked so hard to carve in the Taixue Mansion were destroyed by fire, a sense of pain arose in his heart.

The reason why these young talents hate Dong Zhuo so much that they implicate Lu Bu is because Dong Zhuo's evil deeds are not limited to this. When he moved westward, he stationed the elite soldiers in Biguiyuan, and ordered the burning of the temples, palaces, official offices at all levels and even private houses of the Han Dynasty in Luoyang, and his property was also his concern, so the treasury was gone, and almost all the rich families in Beijing were beheaded by Dong Zhuo for rebellion, and all the family wealth was confiscated and transported to Chang'an.

Not only that, Dong Zhuo also asked Li Dao and Guo Yan to excavate the tombs of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty and the tombs of some ministers, so that the population within 200 miles of the capital division was extinct. Chickens and dogs don't hear it, on the way to the west, tens of thousands of people died of hunger, Dong Zhuo also indulged the soldiers to plunder, the corpses were piled up, and wild dogs and jackals were infested in packs.

"Where did you find out that Wen Hou was involved in this?" The scribe from earlier, with white hair in his eyebrows, was not in a hurry to refute, but asked rhetorically.

A young Confucian sneered: "Hmph, this matter is known to the whole world. Why is it only you Ma Liang who doesn't know? ”

Ma Liang shook his head: "I really don't know, but I know: rumors stop at the wise." As far as I know, when Dong Zhuo indulged the soldiers to plunder the people, Wen Hou heard about it, and led the Bingzhou army to kill many rebellious Xiliang troops; I also know that some alien races take advantage of Dong Zhuo's trouble. After Wen Hou learned about it, he personally led the army to pursue and save many Han people. Now there is still the ancestral temple of Wenhou in the east of the river, and the people do not forget to worship it every year; I also know that Wen Hou led tens of thousands of troops to the west to conquer the Qiang people, ensuring that the people of Xiliang were protected from the attacks of foreign wars. ”

"Yes, Ma Jichang is right, Wen Hou's merits and demerits, no one can tell clearly, now that he is conquering the Qiang people in the west, he has indeed cleared the border troubles for the people of Xiliang and even the entire Han Dynasty, in my opinion, his credit should be comparable to Wei Huo!"

"Just him? Can it be compared with Changping Hou and Champion Hou? Fa Zheng, you are too arrogant in what you say! ”

"Yes, how can Lu Bu be on a par with the champion Hou and them? At that time, the champion Hou led 800 horsemen into the enemy's territory for hundreds of miles, killing the Huns and fleeing in all directions. In the two battles of Hexi, the champion Hou broke the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu sacrifice Tianjin, and took Qilian Mountain. In the battle of Mobei, the champion Hou Feng Wolf Juxu returned victorious, how could Lu Bu compare? ”

When a Confucian student said that he was excited, his face became extremely flushed, the Qingjing on his forehead bulged, and he pointed at Fa Zheng and scolded: "Changping Hou attacked the Xiongnu Dragon City, recovered the Heshuo and Hetao regions, and defeated the Xiongnu Shan Yu. ”

Perhaps he was too excited, and his voice couldn't help but be a little deafening, and the soldiers of the five battalions in charge of the guard turned their heads to look at him, their eyes full of anger.

One of the Yamen generals, who looked like an official, walked up to the Confucian scholar, his eyes widened, his eyebrows erected one by one, and his face burst into blue tendons, staring at the Confucian scholar like a cat fluttering at the mouse, and suddenly, the Yamen general pulled out the saber at his waist, pointed at the scribe and shouted, "What did you just say? ”

The scribe was so frightened that he retreated, and pointed at the tooth keeper trembling and at a loss, and when the young talents who were on the same side as him saw it, they immediately stood in front of him, and condemned the tooth keeper's reckless behavior, calling him simply worthless.

Scolding their lords and generals, is this worth it? The soldiers behind the Yamen men stepped forward one after another, and they were going to cut these young talents into pulp with knives, so as to relieve the hatred in their hearts, even if your mouth is powerful, a knife down, to ensure that you all obediently shut your mouths.

"Stop!"

At this critical moment, a neutral voice sounded behind this group of soldiers, which could still be heard clearly in such a noisy environment, making those young talents involuntarily follow their prestige.

The soldiers turned their heads to look behind them, and when they saw Jia Xu standing behind them, they immediately bowed their hands: "See the military advisor!" ”

Jia Xu said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”

The Yamen general pushed aside the crowd and explained to Jia Xu: "Qiyu military division, this group of rotten Confucians is insulting the lord, I can't wait for it, so I ...... it."

"I said, this general, how have we ever insulted Wen Hou? We're just refuting the fact that some people compare him to a champion! One of the scribes interrupted the doorman's words with great displeasure, and after saying that, he did not forget to insult the puppeteer.

The tooth keeper gritted his teeth in anger, ignoring Jia Xu's obstruction. Rushing up and grabbing the scribe's shirt is a punch, knocking the scribe to the ground, and swinging the knife to cut the guy.

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, and a sword struck the tooth keeper's knife, and the tooth keeper was caught off guard. The tiger's mouth was sour and numb, and the hand holding the knife was slightly off, and the sharp blade slashed fiercely on the grass three inches of the Confucian student's head.

The Yamen general looked up and saw a man standing with a sword, the man was eight feet tall, dressed in a gray-white suit, wearing a hat with a two-foot light veil hanging on the hat, so that everyone could not see his true face. It's a bit mysterious.

The tooth keeper wanted to rush forward, but was suddenly kicked to the ground by a white-robed general who flashed out, and the tooth keeper immediately got up and was about to scold, but when he saw the white-robed general, he immediately became extremely respectful: "Meet General Zhang Xiu!" ”

Zhang Xiu glared at the tooth keeper angrily and shouted: "Wei Dahei, can you be promoted to a tooth keeper?" Even the military adviser dared not listen to it. ”

That Wei Dahei was the trap camp that Lu Bu participated in when he settled in Jingyang. Because of the courage of the battle, he is not afraid of death. He was quickly promoted to captain and then chief. Later, Gao Shun wanted to train the five battalions as Lü Bu's guards, so he was promoted to the rank of Ya Keeper to assist Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu in training the new army.

Wei Dahei said angrily: "General." This group of Confucian students deceived people too much, and they were humiliated! ”

Zhang Xiu shook the big sword and waved the horsewhip in his hand: "Sheath!" ”

Although the soldiers of the fifth battalion were resentful, they had to listen to Zhang Xiu's orders, and glared at those Confucian scholars. More than 1,000 soldiers in black armor put their swords into their sheaths at the same time, and their movements were neat and neat.

The military formation silently split in half, giving way to a narrow passage, this kind of scene made the faces of all the people who humiliated Lu Bu not very good-looking, Jia Xu slowly moved forward under the attention of the soldiers of the five battalions trapped on both sides, and walked to Wei Dahei: "Punish you for a month!" ”

Wei Dahei scratched his head: "Punch him, and the last general is willing to give him Yulu to recuperate!" ”

Jia Xu snorted coldly at Wei Dahei, then waved his clothes, walked up to the Confucian who was beaten by Wei Dahei, and bowed to apologize.

The Confucian student knew that Jia Xu in front of him was not simple, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and bowed deeply to return the salute to show respect!

"Ladies and gentlemen, what Marquis Wen did in the first year of Chuping was indeed a mistake, but do you know that Marquis Wen once fought with Dong Zhuo outside the city for the sake of the people of Luoyang City, have you heard of this?"

Jia Xu glanced at those arrogant Confucian students, and although he sneered in his heart, he said with a smile on his lips.

When Lu Bu moved west in the first year of Chuping, he did fight with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army outside Luoyang City, but Lu Bu was not for the people of Luoyang City, but for his wife and daughter, but this matter was only known to the insiders of the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army, and it was not spread.

Now the generals of the Xiliang Army are still in Shaanxi except for Duan Xuan, and the rest of the generals are either dead or have been thrown into Lu Bu's account, and the reason why Jia Xu brought up this matter is to establish the image of Lu Bu's love for the people in the hearts of these scholars.

The scribe who was beaten thought for a while, and then nodded: "The student has also heard that at that time, General Xi burned, killed and looted in Luoyang City, and was chased and killed all the way by General Zhang Liao under Wen Hou's account, so it caused a big battle between Wen Hou and Dong Zhuo outside Luoyang City!" ”

The more the scribe said to the end, his face became more and more red, and even turned into shame, he thought about it carefully, Lu Bu didn't seem to have done anything bad except for blocking the princes of the Eighteen Roads, but it was all good things, fighting the Xiliang army, conquering Han Sui, and destroying Xiqiang, these are all achievements that can be recorded in history.

The man with the hat added: "Wen Hou's merits and demerits should be commented on by future generations, not by us!" ”

Jia Xu glanced at him curiously, stepped forward and saluted, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

The man wearing the hat didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put away the sword and returned the salute: "I am in the next order, I am a country man, I heard that Mr. Cai Yong was giving a lecture in Hanyang last month, and I came to listen!" (To be continued......)
