Chapter 48 Diversion to Nanyang
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lu Bu immediately stood proudly, held his head high, and waved his big sword: "Pass a certain general's order, that is, from today onwards, Zhang Liao will take over the affairs of these three armies, assisted by Chen Gong and Zheng Hun, and the generals will follow it. β
As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, everyone present promised in a deep voice, no one had any objection to Zhang Liao's temporary replacement of Lu Bu's power, firstly, Zhang Liao's prestige in the Bingzhou Army was second only to Lu Bu, and secondly, Zhang Liao was indeed very resourceful and won everyone's trust.
After thinking for a while, Lu Bu said, "Duke Wen, stay on the public platform, and the rest of the people will go down." β
As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, all the generals arched their hands towards Lu Bu, and then rushed out.
Lu Bu looked at the two only ministers under his account, and said bitterly: "Wen Yuan has extraordinary strategies in military affairs, but he is not good at politics, after I leave, I still hope that the two gentlemen will assist him well." β
The two of them moved the corners of their mouths in unison, and then arched their hands towards Lu Bu and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we will spare no effort to assist Wen Yuan and live up to the trust of the lord." β
After hearing the words of the two, Lu Bu nodded reassuringly, and after explaining some trivial matters, Lu Bu told them to retreat.
The autumn wind is blowing strongly, and the flag is waving.
Zheng Hun, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu and other generals sent off on both sides of the road and waved goodbye to Lu Bu.
At the time of parting, Lu Bu told Zheng Hun and Chen Gong to pay attention to the situation of all parties, assist Zhang Liao, and deal with it decisively if there is any trouble. Zheng Hun and Chen Gong gave up their orders, and Lu Bu whipped away, along with Huang Zhong and Gao Shun.
Why do you want to bring Huang Zhong, because Lu Bu considered that Gao Shun's training was at the upper level, and his martial arts were second-rate, and he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble along the way, and if he brought Huang Zhong, it would be more secure.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road......
The three of them galloped past, and they saw that the people on the horses were all armed with strong crossbows, with extraordinary momentum, and there was no expression on their faces.
The first person, about thirty years old, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, face like a crown of jade, dressed in a purple robe, hanging Fang Tian painting halberd on the saddle, waist with three feet of green peak, crotch a blood-red horse, four hooves like electricity, like thunder.
"Lord, where are we going now?" The three of them rode fast, and they had left Xingyang for more than 200 miles, and when they passed a river, Huang Zhong reined in the reins of his horse, turned his head and asked Lu Bu.
Because LΓΌ Bu had said that they would go from Yingchuan to Yangzhou, but Huang Zhong found that they had deviated from the direction of Yingchuan and were heading in the direction of Jingzhou.
Lu Bu didn't make a sound, but took the lead in dismounting, and then led the red rabbit horse to a fertile place by the river and tied it, so that the red rabbit horse could drink water and eat grass. Gao Shun went to find some dry firewood and came to the river to make a fire to keep warm. The September nights were bitterly cold, and it was hard to survive without a campfire in the middle of nowhere.
There is a slanting moon hanging in the sky, and the shadow of the earth is abundant, although it is not very bright, but you can also see things faintly.
After running wildly for most of the night, the three of them were already hungry, and Lu Bu chewed the dry food in his hand, which looked like chewing wax in the cold autumn night.
"Bah" Lu Bu spit out the dry food in his mouth, glanced at Gao Shun, and said, "Can Peping find some game to open meat for us." β
After hearing this, Gao Shun happily accepted the order, quickly put on his bow and arrows, and quickly rushed into the forest.
Looking at the back of Gao Shun leaving, Lu Bu coughed dryly, glanced at Huang Zhong and said, "Hansheng, we will take the waterway from Nanyang to Yangzhou." β
After hearing this, Huang Zhong asked puzzledly: "Isn't it closer from Yingchuan, why does the lord have to go from Nanyang, isn't he going a little more?" β
Lu Bu chuckled in a low voice, raised his head and said slowly, "The reason why I turned to the waterway is because of you. β
Huang Zhong was surprised, raised a finger, and pointed at himself: "For me? β
Lu Bu smiled stupidly: "Yes, I had nothing to do that night, wandering around the camp, and when I arrived at Hansheng's camp, I suddenly heard Hansheng dreaming, and whispered: "Die'er, I miss you so much for my father." I think your so-called butterfly should be your daughter, so I temporarily decided to take the waterway from Nanyang to Yangzhou, and by the way, take your daughter to Xingyang, so as not to separate your flesh and blood."
After hearing this, Huang Zhong looked at Lu Bu with tears in his eyes, he did have a daughter named Huang Wudie, who had been fostered in a friend's house, he didn't want to tell anyone, but he never wanted to be known by Lu Bu, and he deliberately changed the route to Yangzhou for himself, and the gratitude in his heart was indescribable. How can I repay Lu Bu for his kindness? In this life, it is only to follow death.
Looking at Huang Zhong with an excited face, Lu Bu smiled, looked up at the starry sky, and muttered: "I also have a daughter named Lu Lingqi, I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her very much." β
The stars arranged and combined in the starry sky gradually turned into a smiling face, a beautiful little girl, that was what Lu Lingqi looked like when she was a child, according to the years of her rebirth, Xiao Lingqi should still be nine years old at this time, and she will be ten years old after the New Year. Lu Bu remembered his daughter, that cute little girl, who had worked hard all her life in her previous life in order to save her family's life, but unfortunately she was defeated and died in the end, and I don't know what happened to my little Lingqi after her death.
Just when Lu Bu fell into his memory, he saw Gao Shun twisting the four rabbits and walked back, "After the lord and Han Sheng, a certain hunted four hares, and immediately roasted them for the lord and Han Sheng." β
Huang Zhong was surprised, "Peping can also cook?" β
After Gao Shun heard this, he laughed heartily: "A certain was once a ranger, and he was used to eating wild game in the mountains, and he had some cooking methods, Hansheng, you will later." β
After Gao Shun finished speaking, he picked up a short knife and disemboweled, skinned and dirty, washed it in the river water, and then took it back and smoked it on a branch. After a stick of incense, the fragrance of rabbit meat wafted in the wilderness, making Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, who were already hungry, salivate and wanted to swallow it in one gulp.
Huang Zhong looked at Lu Bu as if he was eager to swallow the rabbit's flesh and bones, and secretly smiled in his heart: "Regardless of all identities, the lord is a father, a husband, and a very good friend." β
Seeing that the gravy had overflowed and the aroma of the meat had overflowed, Gao Shun took the knife and divided the roasted hare into several pieces and handed them to Lu Bu and Huang Zhong respectively. Another cleaned hare was then placed on top of the campfire.
The three of them took out the liquor, served it with rabbit meat, and ate it happily, except for a glimmer of light in the forest, and from time to time there was a hearty laughter.
The waning moon hung in the sky, the autumn wind blew, and the heavens and the earth were gloomy.
Lu Bu leaned against a stout tree and closed his eyes and fell into deep thought: "There are still four months, and in four months, the Kwantung princes will be locked in prison, although X can't defeat you this time, but let you take off a layer of skin, X is still sure." β
In this way, Lu Bu felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier when he thought about it, and he gradually fell asleep, while Huang Zhong and Gao Shun stood less than five steps away from Lu Bu with knives, guarding Lu Bu around.
