Chapter 244: Welcoming Relatives
At noon on the fifth day of the first month of April, the bright sun shines on the slightly verdant Qishan, in the middle of the mountain, the sound of birds is crisp and pleasant, as far as the eye can see, you can see the clusters of flowers everywhere, and the fragrance of flowers wafts with the breeze, which makes people smell and feel refreshed.
The peach garden on the side of the avenue at the north foot of Qishan, the falling flowers are colorful, and in the open space in front of it, a wide greeting platform was built a few days ago, draped in red and hung with colors, and the peach blossoms in the garden shine brightly.
Dong Zhuo's pole cart is parked here, there is an octagonal pavilion on the greeting platform, Dong Zhuo himself is in the pavilion, six maidservants are accompanied, the stone platform under the pavilion is placed on this seasonal rare fruit and delicacies, outside the pavilion is the singer dance, the drum music is melodious.
Dong Zhuo was very interested, and looked at the supporting teams playing drums and instruments on both sides of the avenue in the distance, and his face full of flesh smiled like a flower, squeezing out a bit of fierceness, and even his eyes were squeezed into a slit.
Lu Bu, who was also dressed in a brocade robe and was tall, accompanied Dong Zhuo, but at this time, Lu Bu only hung a long sword on his waist, but Fang Tian's halberd was carried by the wrestlers waiting under the audience.
On the other side of Dong Zhuo is Changshi Liu Ai, who acts as the master of ceremonies and is responsible for the things that he relies on before and after, in addition, there are dozens of officials of all sizes such as Right Fufeng Cheng and Duyang County Order.
As for the left general Dong Min, the right Fufeng Wang Hong and other important figures, they were greeted by more than a dozen Qianshi officials in Yixian County with more than a dozen officials of the court.
On all sides of the welcoming platform, two hundred elite soldiers lined up neatly, dressed in red robes, dressed with joy, and further away, there were three hundred elite soldiers on standby.
Now Xiaoguan in the north and Longguan in the west have his men and horses, and this time there are 500 elite soldiers accompanying him, and there are Lu Bu to escort him. In Dong Zhuo's view, it is enough to deal with any crisis.
Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu on the side. Haha laughed: "In the past, a certain was just a small official under the Duke of Weiming. Now that Wei Ming Gong has turned into loess, he can accept his wife as a concubine, and this life is enough to wish, hahahaha! He sees righteousness and truth in Chang'an, and he should call him an uncle? Thinking makes people laugh, hahahaha, hurry! Hurry! ”
Lu Bu said with a smile: "In this way, the child should be commensurate with the Huangfu Song brothers." ”
Hearing Lu Bu say this, Dong Zhuo leaned back and laughed even more. Wanton and wild, he couldn't stop patting the table, tears flowing: "Fengxian Zhenwu'er!"
Lu Bu raised his head and laughed.
At this moment, a fast horse came from the Northern Avenue, and when it was almost in front of the reception platform, there were already guards to meet it.
The man on the horse flew off his horse and shouted: "On the orders of the lieutenant of the middle military academy, I have come to report to the Taishi." ”
Dong Zhuo looked around, but saw that the man was dressed in a red robe, which was the dress of Dong Huang's envoy to welcome relatives. When even laughed, he ordered, "Bring it here." ”
The messenger walked to the front of the stage and said loudly: "Report to the Taishi, Captain Dong is escorting the newcomers to arrive." It's only five miles away. ”
Dong Zhuo laughed: "Good, good, good." He turned his head and instructed Liu Ai, the chief historian on the side, to say, "Don't give a reward yet." ”
Lu Bu saw this messenger. couldn't help laughing: "I don't want to, but you came to report the news." ”
The messenger hurriedly said to Lu Buli: "The little one has seen General Lu. ”
Dong Zhuo pointed to the messenger and said, "Could it be that Wu'er also recognizes this person?" ”
Lu Budao: "Exactly, this person's surname is Zhu." Mingao is the brother of a friend of the child. He is extraordinary, and now he is a personal guard under the Huang brothers. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and asked Zhu Ao to step aside.
Zhu Ao retreated sideways to the side of the wrestler who was carrying Fang Tian's halberd.
Dong Zhuo asked Lu Bu again: "The newcomer is coming, according to Wu'er's opinion, can you welcome a mile?" ”
Lu Bu shook his head and said: "The righteous father condescended to be noble, and it has been more than 100 miles from Hewu to Qishan, which shows his sincerity. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, and looked around at the green mountains on all sides, but when he saw the peach blossoms reflecting each other, he couldn't help sighing: "This mountain is really a blessed land, thousands of years ago, there was Fengming Qishan, Xingzhou for 800 years, but I don't know when I will see the phoenix?" ”
Lu Bu rolled his eyes and said: "Today, there is a new mother to match the father-in-law, isn't it the two phoenixes and Ming, Ying Zhaoqi Mountain." ”
Dong Zhuo laughed, and said again: "I hate Jincheng Han Sui and Hanyang Ma Teng for making endless trouble, and they don't return for a long time, otherwise today will be a double happiness." ”
Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and he said proudly: "Like Ma Teng and Han Sui, the child regards him as a mustard ear." ”
Dong Zhuo said hesitantly: "A certain person from Liangzhou, who knows Liangzhou has always been fierce, Ma Tenghan gathered 100,000 people, plus Song Jian, and occupied the five counties of Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang, Beidi, and Anding in Liangzhou, which cannot be underestimated, and if you don't have 100,000 people to be invincible, if you go all out, you will be afraid that both sides will be defeated, but let the thieves in Hedong and Kanto get a chance." Now the Qiang people, Di people, Lu Shuihu, and Yueshi Hu are also ready to move, and the old man is having a headache about it. ”
Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng Han Sui went out of Liangzhou together, but they were different, Dong Zhuo was born in the official regular army force of Liangzhou, while Ma Teng Han Sui was born in Liangzhou peasant rebels and bandits, and foreign tribes, as for Song Jian, another force in Liangzhou, was not as active as Ma Teng Han Sui, but occupied Longxi County, called himself the king of Heshou Ping Han, and became his own party, far away from the Central Plains battle.
Lu Bu couldn't help but be silent, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, although he despised all generals, but he also knew the strength of the Liangzhou soldiers, if the disparity in strength was too great, his Liangzhou soldiers did not have much chance of winning.
"If Wen You is here, Ma Teng Han will be so good!" Dong Zhuo sighed, then slapped the desk again, knocked over a few fruit plates, and snorted angrily: "Now that the thieves in the Kanto region have started up again, what kind of person is Liu Bei, who is a weaver and a peddler, and he dares to raise troops to fight against Yu!" Hey! After the recruitment of a certain army is completed, Ma Teng Han Sui is appeased, and he will definitely wash the Kanto region with blood, and ambush millions of corpses, so that everyone in the world knows that a certain supreme majesty is inviolable! ”
Dong Zhuo was ruthless, on the north avenue, he had already seen the family sending team coming, the sound of drums, and a float in the middle, immediately restrained his anger, got up and laughed: "Come on!" Come on! He also instructed the officials behind him: "You will step down with your father to welcome your relatives." ”
The family sending team soon arrived, Dong Zhuo looked carefully, but he didn't see Dong Huang, the original family sending team of 500 people was only more than 200 people, and he was a little displeased.
At this moment, another person in the family sending team rushed out and said loudly: "Taishi, I just met the robbers on the way, Captain Dong led the troops to kill the robbers in person, and let the small escort nobles come first, so as not to miss the time and make the Taishi wait for a long time." ”
Lu Bu looked at the welcoming team, and the intuition of the martial artist always made him feel a little weird.
And when Dong Zhuo heard that there were bandits robbing him, he was immediately furious: "Who is the bandit so bold!" Feng Xian, why don't you quickly bring people to catch all these bandits, and you are going to cook them with Ding! ”
"The child is commanded!" Lu Bu received the order and was about to set off, when his eyes suddenly swept to the blood stains on the red robes of the two people at the front of the line, and his eyes narrowed.
These blood stains were not very obvious on the red robe, and if it weren't for the sunlight, Lu Bu would not be able to detect it.
He carefully examined the faces of those who had sent his relatives, but found that most of them were unfamiliar.
Seeing that the family sending team was getting closer and closer, Lu Bu suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, and subconsciously shouted: "Wait!" (To be continued.) )
