Chapter 111: Asking for "Red Rabbit"
But what Dong Zhuo never expected was that this Lu Bu disappointed him too much, betraying his master twice and killing his master, how could this kind of excesses make him acceptable? Isn't his use of this kind of person by his side tantamount to luring wolves into the house? Guan Yu has been loyal to him for so many years, but he Lu Bu is so wolfish and ambitious, Dong Zhuo can't accept it no matter what, he is wary of Guan Yu, but he doesn't doubt Guan Yu's sincerity, he is just making a plan for his future, this is a fear of the future that is increasing with the continuous improvement of his power, fear of others seizing power, this is a kind of defensive psychology brought by the desire for power, no matter who it is, no matter what purpose and psychology it is, whether it is loyalty or betrayal, has to arouse his speculation and suspicion, and Guan Yu is the first general to enter his line of sight, so he wants to create another kind of force to achieve the purpose of containing Guan Yu, but the premise is that this force should also be loyal to himself, at least there are no rumors that make him feel a little uneasy, but Lu Bu has not come to his side yet, and the rumors make him shudder, Lu Bu's behavior is his taboo, how can he tolerate this kind of disloyal and unrighteous person?
The myth of Lu Bu's death of a generation of war gods was drowned in the years, Guan Yu killed Lu Bu and accepted Gao Shun, this guy who was infinitely loyal to Lu Bu in the book, Guan Yu decided to keep him, why would Guan Yu choose Gao Shun? In the book, it is mentioned that Lu Bu defeated Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are both unyielding lords who would rather die than give in, Zhang Liao survived, and Gao Shun was killed by Cao Cao, just because Gao Shun was infinitely loyal to Lu Bu, that is to say, Gao Shun is a loyal person, and he will never worry about him betraying himself if he keeps this kind of person by his side, this is his own sworn friend, the most important talent selected by Guan Yu is the loyal son, Zhang Liao or Gao Shun, these two are loyal and righteous people, and Song Xian and others were chosen to die by Guan Yu, just because these people betrayed the Lord and sought glory, Designing to kill the master for his own selfishness is definitely a crime that cannot be punished, Guan Yu will never be able to dominate and rely on such a person in the future, the people Guan Yu takes in are outstanding in talent and have the name of loyalty, whether you are a military general or a strategist, you must meet these two most basic points.
Now Guan Yu has Li Yan, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun to assist, and Li Su and Wen Ping, and gradually has more friends around him, but he is still constantly looking for candidates to find talents, and he wants to continue to recruit talents for his own use, and he knows what kind of people can be used for himself, what kind of people can't be used for himself, what kind of people can't be used, for Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other characters are people who can't be used, for what kind of people? These people are by no means people who are willing to be subordinate, they are ambitious people, and they want to be dominant in the future, and now Guan Yu's elimination of Lu Bu is equivalent to one less opponent in the future hegemony, and he must seize the opportunity to destroy other competitors who can be enemies with him, so as to clear the obstacles for being able to dominate China
Guan Yu got rid of Lu Bu and accepted Gao Shun, and incorporated all Ding Yuan's army, and made a great contribution to Dong Zhuo, he and Li Su were all rewarded, Li Su was crowned as a Zhonglang general, Dong Zhuo was about to add a knighthood to Guan Yu, at this time Guan Yu came out and said: "Don't be like this, I don't want a title or a reward, I have something to ask for!" ”
"Oh? What do you want from Yun Chang? Dong Zhuo asked curiously.
Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "I ask the lord for something!" ”
"What item? Just bring it up! Dong Zhuo continued.
Guan Yu continued: "I ask for a good horse!" ”
"Haha Isn't it just a horse? This matter is still so serious, even if Yun Chang goes to the stable of the army to pick a horse, he wants whatever he wants! Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing.
Guan Yu continued: "I ask for a horse from the Lord's Treasure Horse, named "Red Rabbit Horse", which is red all over, like a fire, fast as a wind, and travels thousands of miles a day! ”
Dong Zhuo was not only surprised when he heard this: "How do you know that I have a red rabbit horse?" ”
Guan Yu's eyes turned to his heart when he heard this, and he said: "Such a precious horse is famous all over the world, I only think it is a legend, but I didn't expect it to be really here with the lord?" ”
"You didn't mention it, I almost didn't think about it, to be honest, this horse was prepared for Lu Bu and wanted to give it to him as a gift, you reminded me when you said this, in fact, I have always wanted to give it to you, but you already have a bloody horse from the Western Regions, so I didn't mention it again, you really asked like this, Ha Lu Ha!" Dong Zhuo said as he cleverly said the female zodiac.
Guan Yu continued: "If the lord really gave me this horse, I am willing to give my horse to others, if I get this good horse, it will live up to my life's ambition!" ”
"A good horse deserves a good saddle, and a good man deserves a good horse! Only Yun Chang is the most suitable in the world! But this horse gift has to hold a ceremony, one is the red rabbit in the horse, and the other is Guan Yu in the people, which is the best horse with the best general, it is the best match! It's a big ceremony! Dong Zhuo continued to reassure.
Guan Yu excused himself and said: "The lord must not be like this, this is too extravagant and wasteful, I hope that thrift is, there is no need to be so prosperous!" ”
"Huh? Ma Ke wants to recognize the master, you will be his master in the future, you must let it recognize you, do you have to adapt to it, so decided, tomorrow the ceremony will be held, and then invite all the generals to come to help! Dong Zhuo said after the most reluctance.
Guan Yu wanted to say goodbye to Dong Zhuo waving his sleeves and leaving, so it was inconvenient to say more. However, he was still a little flattered, and it was the first time he had heard of it in his life to hold a ceremony for himself, but it didn't matter, he was a person who liked to be lively, he Guan Yu wanted to see if the so-called "Red Rabbit in the Horse, Lu Bu in the People" was powerful or his "Red Rabbit in the Horse, Guan Yu in the People"?
On the second day, I saw all the generals gathered outside Luoyang City, everyone was neatly dressed and held a sword majestic, everyone was waiting to see what this legendary red rabbit horse looked like, then I saw everyone disperse, one person walked out, only to see this person holding the green dragon glaive knife and the red horse whip, wearing a proprietary green helmet, decorated with yellow pompoms with back pockets, two earlobes white streamers and yellow silk spikes, wearing a green python. Eight feet five inches tall, very burly, and then look at the face is white and red, the face is like a crown of jade, the eyes are blazing, the heavenly court is full, the instrument is lofty, and the heroic spirit is full, this person is Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang. His change in his previous dress made everyone marvel at it, what a talent! People also appear to be extraordinarily energetic and extraordinary
