Liu Bao was shocked, where did he think that Lu Bu was so resolute that he didn't give him any room to speak, if he knew that he had made the same mistake as his father Yu Fuluo, he was afraid that he would vomit blood and die immediately.

They all underestimated Lu Bu's determination.

From the time he heard the news that Yu Fuluo led his people into Hedong County to plunder, Lu Bu made up his mind and prepared to leave them all behind, not giving them a chance to return to Meiji and recuperate. The so-called reason of "kidnapping the people and robbing the people's daughters" is only a righteous name, and the real reason is to weaken the strength of the Xiongnu tribe and lay a good foundation for the future inclusion of the Xiongnu tribe.

Therefore, what if Yu Fuluo has been granted the position of Shan Yu by the imperial court, for Lu Bu, who is determined to take the annexation of states as the foundation and participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, a Xiongnu who does not have a strong Shan Yu leader is in his interests.

What's more, although they kidnapped Cai Yan, although this incident made Lu Bu very "happy", and it was logical to stage a heroic drama of saving beauty in front of Cai Yan and the world, but for such a reason, Lu Bu had already included Liu Bao in the list of must-kill.

With more fights and fewer fights, and there is Lu Bu, the god of killing, Liu Bao is just a face, and the long knife is picked up by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's ruthlessness is far more than that, and when the two horses are staggered, his arm reaches out, and the handle of the knife hits Liu Bao fiercely on the back.

Liu Bao's throat was sweet, and he couldn't help but pounce forward, thanks to the skillful control of the horse, Jishu, subconsciously wrapped his hands around the horse's neck, so that he did not fall off the horse. But then, his luck was not so good, the soldiers who rushed behind Lu Bu didn't recognize who he was, and the long knife slashed and slashed, making him scream again and again, and he couldn't hold the horse's neck anymore and fell off the horse.

By the time Lu Bu turned the horse's head, the battle was over, and Liu Bao's dozen or so guards were all lying on the ground, even if they didn't die, they couldn't get up, and Liu Bao was trampled to death by the war horse directly after falling off the horse.

Lu Bu rode his horse slowly, and commanded with an expressionless face: "Give them a good time, rest for a while, and then set off." ”

Cleaning up the battlefield, with his own soldiers in charge, Lu Bu rode his horse and trotted back to the five carriages abandoned by Liu Bao.

There are already several personal soldiers guarding here, seeing Lu Bu, immediately got up and saluted, Lu Bu waved his hand, and looked over from one carriage to another, which was loaded with either a cage or a burlap bag, presumably not gold and silver treasures, or salt and brine, until Zuihou one, just opened the curtain with a long knife, and saw two pairs of red and swollen eyes.

These are two young girls, dressed in clothes, which have already indicated their identity as master and servant, they are the typical combination of ladies and the closest maids around, their pale faces still carry a frightened, tired, tired, and weak atmosphere, and when they opened the curtain, they had already imprinted into Lu Bu's eyes.

However, when they saw Lu Bu's face clearly, the joy in their eyes was still clear at a glance.

It is really a rare beauty in the world!

Lu Bu withdrew the long knife, put down the car curtain, sighed secretly, and said loudly through the car curtain: "In Xiaguan, General Hou Zhenbei also led and merged with Lu Bu, the Hun thief has been killed by Lu, dare to ask the little lady her surname?" ”

When he asked this, Lu Bu was sneering in his heart, knowing that the person in the car was the famous Cai Yan, but on the surface, he still did enough superficial work and respectfully asked people's names and surnames.

Two low exclamations in the car, Lu Bu heard it clearly, and as soon as the words fell, he heard that someone was saluting, and he seemed to be crying with joy: "The concubine thanked the general, and the concubine was captured by a thief, and she was sad that she would never see her father again, and the general was so kind and virtuous that he couldn't repay ......"

"Hah!"

It's okay to make a promise!

Lu Bu chuckled, thinking in his heart was such a beautiful thing, but what he said was completely different: "The little lady is polite, killing thieves and protecting the people is the duty of this general, by the way, I don't know."

"The concubine's surname is Cai, her name is Yan, the cursive character Zhaoji, and she has seen the general!"

When Lu Bu was groaning, he got Cai Yan's reply, and immediately pretended to be surprised, turned over and dismounted, and exclaimed: "Cai Yan? But Cai Weng's daughter? ”

It was quite rude to call him by his name like this, but Cai Yan's full attention was on the second half of Lu Bu's sentence, and with joy in his voice, he asked, "Huh?!" Does the general know his father? ”

"It's more than just knowing!"

Lu Bu replied respectfully, "Cai Weng's name is known to the whole world, if he didn't want to lead the army to fight the thief, when Cai Weng arrived in Luoyang, he would have to go out of the city for hundreds of miles no matter what." By the way, Sister Zhao Ji is going to Luoyang? ”

Receiving Cai Yan's reply in a low affirmative voice, Lu Bu said with great regret and relief: "Fortunately, I came down in time, otherwise Sister Zhao Ji would have to run for nothing." ”

"Huh?!"

"Sister Zhao Ji doesn't need to worry, Cai Weng was imprisoned for something, and now he has been convicted of serving in the border, and he just got a report from Luoyang Kuaima Fei yesterday that Cai Weng has left Luoyang and went north to Yanmen ......"

Before he finished speaking, two exclamations rang out from the carriage, as if he was very surprised and shocked by the news.

Lu Bu hurriedly comforted him: "I have always admired Cai Weng in Xia, Cai Weng was in prison, and I also asked Luoyang's friends to take care of me more. Well, I just want to lead the army back to Taiyuan, Cai Weng will go north to Yanmen, and he will rest temporarily in Taiyuan, if Zhaoji's sister does not dislike it, she can walk with him, if there is chaos today, I didn't expect that even Hedong is not peaceful, alas......"

Zuihou's lament is Lu Bu's heart, not a pretentious sigh.

The Southern Xiongnu were originally part of the Xiongnu who were crippled by the Han Dynasty, attached to the Han court, and returned to the Liao generals to control them, and when the Han court was strong, not to mention that they dared to plunder in the hinterland of the Central Plains, even in the border counties, they did not dare to make a slight move. Even in the Southern Xiongnu Wang Ting Meiji, General Du Liao was able to cut down the disobedient Shan Yu first with only a few soldiers and horses under his command.

But now, Yu Fuluo led 1,500 elite cavalry, dared to plunder in Hedong, and dared to kidnap the daughter of the famous Cai Yong into the army, ready to bring it back to Meiji, they believed that it was the current Han Dynasty, civil strife was endless, and no one would come to them for trouble for this matter.

Fortunately, Lu Bu relied on the advantage of the prophet and had already set his sights on Cai Yan, otherwise, such a talented beauty would have to be brought back to Meiji and let Liu Bao ravage him.

There was silence in the carriage for a long time, obviously Cai Yan was thinking about it, and Lu Bu was not in a hurry, so he waited outside the carriage and waited for Cai Yan's reply.

He didn't worry about Cai Yan not agreeing, and now Cai Yan is basically at the point where he has nowhere to go. Hedong Wei's house, she just came out of there, and she definitely won't think about going back; rushed to Luoyang, her father Cai Yong had left, and it was useless for her to go; Returning to Chen Liu's ancestral hometown, not to mention the long distance, how could she be embarrassed without her father Cai Yong?

So apart from going north to Taiyuan to meet his father Cai Yong, Cai Yan had nowhere else.

Sure enough, after being silent for a long time, Cai Yan sighed faintly and said in a low voice: "So, there is General Lao." ”

Lu Bu haha smiled: "Sister Zhaoji is polite, I have admired Cai Weng for a long time, and I can see Cai Weng this time, which is really a blessing in the next three lives." By the way, Yanmen is now bordering Xianbei, chaotic, in Xia Xi for the state pastor, when to the court to write a letter, for Cai Weng to say, stay Cai Weng in Taiyuan is appropriate. Well, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and tomorrow we will send people to Hanoi and Taiyuan to inform Cai Weng to stay in Taiyuan to wait. ”

Cai Yan in the car was overjoyed, and thanked him repeatedly, and the original panic had been dispelled.

Lu Bu was at peace in his heart, and Wen Yan comforted Cai Yan's master and servant, and a group of guards had cleaned up the battlefield and surrounded them.

Looking at the sky, and then at the tired war horse, he estimated in his heart that he had been chasing all the way for more than two hours, and Lu Bu knew that he would definitely not be able to rush back today, so he could only find a place to rest near the left.

On the avenue, it is not uncommon for business travelers and passers-by to come and go, when they see someone galloping from a distance, they are busy avoiding as far as they can, and when Lu Bu kills Liu Bao and a group of subordinates, he finds that there is no figure around, and he wants to find someone to ask, but he can't get it.

In desperation, Lu Bu and his entourage could only escort five carriages, leading the horses one by one, carrying the corpses of Liu Bao and a group of subordinates, and walking back along the avenue, hoping to find a village or town, rest overnight, and then rush back to the location of the Xiongnu camp early tomorrow morning, where the army led by Song Xian and Hou Cheng must be stationed and waiting.

Hedong is one of the most densely populated prefectures and counties in the seven counties of Sili, only worse than Henan Yin and Hanoi counties, after Lu Bu "woke up" in Luoyang, he was busy and idle, and someone copied the state and county data of the imperial court in recent years, and he knew the population of each state and county.

Like the merger state that he is preparing to use as the foundation of the struggle for hegemony, in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the population is only slightly more than that of Liangzhou, ranking second to last, only a fraction to one-tenth of the most densely populated Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, etc., although after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a large number of people fled from Jizhou to the relatively calm merger at that time, but the gap in the population base is still quite large.

As the team got closer and closer, at the entrance of the village, there were already several old men on crutches to greet them, and as a group of young men and women, they were all hiding in the village, secretly looking at Lu Bu and his party.

With Cai Yan by his side, when Lu Bu spoke, he consciously restrained a lot, strode up to the old man at the head, and asked, "Are you Lizheng?" ”

"Exactly, what does the general command......

The old man was full of white hair, with a stiff back, a wrinkled face, looking at his age, he was afraid that he was almost in his prime, his teeth were falling out of nearly half, and he was leaking and vague when he spoke, Lu Bu was impatient to hear it, waved his hand, pointed to the carriage behind him, and ordered: "There are women in the carriage, prepare a clean residence, in addition, there are chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep or something, prepare more, my subordinates will fight for a day, and they will be hungry." Well, I didn't bring any coins with me, so I brought a bag of salt and two bags of grain as a reward. ”

As soon as the words fell, several old men were overjoyed, hurriedly agreed, and turned around to beckon the villagers to come and prepare. In the carriage, Cai Qian, the personal maid, lowered the curtain lightly, turned around, and whispered to Cai Yan: "Miss, this General Lu seems to be very different." ”
