Chapter 208: Li Ru, Cai Yong

The military camp is located in the southeast of Longxian County, three miles, because it is an important place for military training, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, so although it looks at Pingchuan here, it has always been quite deserted, and there are few people.

Lu Bu stayed at home for two days, after receiving a letter from Jia Xu, he didn't have time to say goodbye to Yan Rui, so he hurried back to the camp in Bingzhou non-stop.

"See the lord!" When Lu Bu arrived at the camp gate, before he got off his horse, he saw that all the hundreds of armor soldiers guarding the gate of the village bowed to Lu Bu to greet him, and the sound was like a bell, deafening.

"The generals are back?"

Sima Gong, the leader, saluted him respectfully and said, "I almost came back yesterday!" ”

Lu Bu nodded, immediately turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the Sima, and walked towards the Chinese army's tent.

Approaching the big tent, Lu Bu saw Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other generals stopping in front of the tent and whispering, not knowing what they were discussing, seeing Lu Bu coming, the generals immediately strode up to greet him: "See the lord!" ”

Lu Bu glanced at the generals strangely and asked, "What happened?" Why don't you wait in the tent, but stop outside it! ”

The generals look at me and I look at you, but they didn't answer Lu Bu's questions, and when they didn't answer, Lu Bu didn't ask much, so he waved his head: "Come in!" ”

All the generals agreed in unison, and followed Lu Bu into the big tent.

Entering the big tent, Lu Bu looked over at a glance, and saw eight people sitting in the tent, in addition to Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Zheng Hun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, as well as Li Ru and Cai Yong mentioned by Jia Xu in the letter, when they saw Lu Bu coming, everyone got up and saluted in no particular order.

Lu Bu looked at Li Ru and Cai Yong, and immediately stepped forward to salute, and then laughed loudly: "Wen Wei, Mr. Bo Jiao, you make me think so hard."

At the time of the battle of Xiangwu, Chen Gong had already told him the news that Li Ru and Cai Yong came to Hanyang, although he had prepared in his heart, but when he saw the two, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, because the two of them were not ordinary people in the entire Han Dynasty, Li Ru's resourcefulness needless to say, Cai Yong studied under Hu Guang, proficient in music and rhythm, talented, proficient in scripture and history, good at words and songs, and good at calligraphy and seals. In particular, Lishu has the deepest attainments, the highest reputation in today's Han Dynasty, and is known as "Cai Yongshu's bones are outstanding, refreshing and powerful", and he has created a "flying white" book style, and now Cai Yong is simply a Luanjin signboard.

Didn't the world say that he Lu Bu was a reckless man, didn't he say that he was not respected by the scholars, and Cai Yong's arrival was just like a slap in the face of those scholars. Although Cai Yong came to Hanyang for refuge, the relationship with him is a little ambiguous, but as long as Cai Yong is there, Lu Bu does not have to worry about the problem of reputation.

But before Lu Bu could be happy for long, he heard Cai Yong say: "Fengxian, Wen Wei and I are here to say goodbye to you!" ”

As soon as Cai Yong's words fell, Lu Bu's smile instantly froze on his face, and his face became extremely panicked: "Farewell? Sir, why do you want to say goodbye? I heard from the public station that when you came to Hanyang, you really couldn't sleep at night, and you were looking forward to seeing the two of you day and night, but now you haven't had a drink with the two of you, why do you want to leave me? ”

Li Ru got up slowly, his face was full of loss and helplessness, his lips squirmed a few times, and he looked like he wanted to stop talking, but he never said it, just let out a slight sigh, and let Lu Bu sit or stand, pacing back and forth in the big tent alone anxiously.

Huang Zhong stared at Li Ru for a while, his thick eyebrows wrinkled in vain, and he got up and said in a deep voice to Lu Bu: "Lord, this time our department was stationed at the gate distance, and suffered from tens of thousands of troops overnight, just when the enemy army was about to break the city, fortunately, Mr. Wen Wei came to support, and a few days of strange plots fell out, helping me to repel the enemy's attacks again and again, so Mr. Wen Wei has a great merit!" ”

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Tai and the others, and said mercilessly: "And the generals led by Youping and Xingba all dislike Mr. Wen Wei's reputation and don't want to work with him, not only that, but also make things difficult, so Mr. Wen Wei feels that the generals don't welcome him, and Cai everyone came with Mr. Wen Wei, and when they saw Mr. Wen Wei, they wanted to leave, so they ......."

Lu Bu stretched out his hand to interrupt Huang Zhong, and then strode up to Li Ru and bowed: "Wen is worried, the generals are rude, and I apologize here!" ”

Li Ru looked up at Lu Bu, pursed his lips, and got up to help Lu Bu: "Why is Feng Xian like this!" ”

Lu Bu exhaled a breath of turbidity, turned around and glanced at Gan Ning and the others standing at the door, and said as he walked: "You guys are really good, come on, you all talk about it, what qualifications do you have to make things difficult for Li Wenwei, it's better to give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!" ”

Zhou Tai glanced at Gan Ning and the generals, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Lord Qi, Li Ru killed the young emperor in Luoyang, it is really a big rebellion, if we take him in, it will definitely cause the anger of the world, and then we will become the target of the public, and I hope the lord will think twice!" ”

Lu Bu's eyebrows raised in vain, and he kept tapping his index finger on the table, and said slowly: "Well, this is true, who else has something to say?" ”

Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, and Gan Ning bowed together: "What General Youping said is very true, and I hope that the lord will think twice!" ”

"Think twice?" Lu Bu's face sank, and he scolded angrily: "If it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would have already become dry bones in the grave, how can we allow you to shout here?" ”

Chen Gong, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu were silent, because only they knew that if it weren't for Li Ru's admonition in front of Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that they would have been defeated in Luoyang at this time, and the state army could have such achievements as today, if you want to say who has the highest credit, it is not Jia Xu, not Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, but Li Ru accounts for half, and half of the soldiers who fought bloodily.

Jia Xu saw that the generals were at a loss, shook his head and sighed, even if Lu Bu impulsively attacked the Xiliang camp, how Dong Zhuo ordered the army to surround and merge the state army, and how Li Ru admonished Dong Zhuo, one by one, told the generals one by one, in the end, Jia Xu couldn't help but salute Li Ru: "Brother Wen Wei, thank you!" ”

Lu Bu's eyes turned, and he said in a deep voice: "The grace of dripping water will repay the spring, not to mention that Mr. Wen Wei saved me tens of thousands of soldiers in the state, and now he is just seeking refuge from us, but you are so neglectful, how can you have any general demeanor!" ”

After a pause, he said, "What's more, what qualifications do you have to talk about him?" Xingba, Youping, you two crisscrossed the rivers and seas, robbed and killed many officials, civilians and businessmen, Xiaojie, Zhongwu, you killed people on the street in Jinyang, and you joined the army in desperation, I am not wrong, right? Let me ask, have I ever cared about your reputation, and have I ever disliked your bad reputation? Now that you have made military achievements and become generals, can you be so proud of your talents? ”

Li Ru persuaded beside him: "Fengxian, all the generals are thinking about your future, don't blame them!" ”

Lu Bu's eyes were like torches, and his face was majestic and irresistible: "For the monarch, discerning people, appointing people on the basis of merit, trusting subordinates, not bowing to relatives, being open-minded for generals, tolerant mentality, strict self-discipline, and leading by example, Zhou Gong once said: "One bath and three grips of hair, one meal and three spit feeding, I am afraid of losing the sage of the world." "Now, what else do you have to say?"

Zhou Tai and the others glanced at each other, and walked up to Li Ru and bowed down to apologize: "I am reckless, please forgive me!" ”

Li Ru hurriedly got up and saluted everyone back: "A Confucian student, dare to accept this worship!" ”

Lu Bu felt that the time was ripe, and immediately walked off the table, came to Li Ru and Cai Yong and said: "Mr. Bojiao, Wen Wei, if there is smoke everywhere today, and soldiers are rampant, how about you don't leave, just stay in Hanyang?" ”

"Two gentlemen, don't go, we know it's wrong"

"That is, I beg the gentleman to stay and help my lord."

"The two gentlemen are people of insight, we don't know the general situation, we bumped into the two gentlemen, please don't blame the two gentlemen, when you are free, you will buy turbid wine in the most expensive wine shop in Longxian County, please drink the two gentlemen!"

Chen Gong grinned, Lu Bu's words instantly subverted Chen Gong's understanding of him, especially the words of discerning people, appointing people on the basis of merit, trusting subordinates, and not bowing to relatives, no wonder Lu Bu has always let Gao Shun lead the troops outside, no wonder Lu Bu is relieved and bold to hand over the money and food to Zheng Hun to take care of, no wonder each battalion and village are their own generals in charge, no wonder Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and others are water thieves and have been used by Lu Bu, although they knew that Lu Bu had a little foresight before, but now it seems that he not only has foresight, but is also very outstanding, At the same time, he also discarded the trace of dissatisfaction with Li Ru in his heart.

Li Ru hesitated for a while, turned his head and looked at Cai Yong, facing Li Ru's gaze, Cai Yong stroked his hair and smiled: "The old man no longer cares about any official position, and he yearns for the life of idle clouds and wild cranes in the future, as long as there are books to read, pens to fill in, and pianos to play, the old man can go anywhere!" ”

Li Ru nodded, and bowed to Lu Bu: "In this way, Li Ru is willing to serve!" ”

"Come on, prepare a banquet, and wash the dust for the two Mr. Bo and Wen Wei!"

Although he didn't get a clear answer from Cai Yong, Lu Bu knew that what Cai Yong cared about most in his life was his baby daughter in addition to his poetry and songs.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu swept away the unhappiness of the fall of Longxi, and his heart was filled with excitement, with Cai Yong's help, it could be worth one state or two states or three states, and he couldn't help but be a little excited when he spoke at the moment, Cai Yong stroked his hair, turned his head and smiled at Li Ru, maybe Lu Bu is really a master.
