Chapter 678: Lu Bu was born
The death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the great filial piety of the whole city of Luoyang, has determined the specific burial time at the court meeting. Together with this, it was decided that Liu Wei would be the crown prince, and no minister had any objection to this.
Since ancient times, many ministers have been trying to appoint Liu Wei as the crown prince a long time ago, and the voice of the court is also very high. But at those times, no matter how many there were, no matter how loud the voice was, Emperor Han Ling did not agree, and no one could let Liu Wei ascend to the throne of the crown prince.
It wasn't until after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty that this was successful, whether it was Empress He or the general He Jin, or the ministers of the court wanted to advance.
Due to the coma of the great general He Jin, the resolutions in the court are now presided over by the three dukes, and then handed over to the queen to decide. As for the new emperor's accession to the throne, the date determined is before the burial of Emperor Ling of Han, but everything is simple, and there will be no grand enthronement ceremony.
After the Ten Standing Servants and their forces were cleared, the situation in Luoyang City had completely stabilized. Not only is it stable, but the security in Luoyang City has also become very good during this time, and some smart people dare not mess around during this time, for fear of attracting thunder strikes. On the other hand, some people who are not smart take the opportunity to reach out, not only are their hands cut off, but even people may not be able to live.
The security of the entire Luoyang City is now fully taken over by the Xiyuan Army, and in such a situation, it is natural to use heavy hands to stabilize it. Let those who are ready to move see the blood, see the consequences, and dare to move.
"I don't know what's going on now?" Cao Cao was a little apprehensive in his mansion in Luoyang City.
Standing next to him was the shadow of the candle, and he didn't often see Cao Cao's nervous appearance, and now was really a memorable moment.
"There should be news soon, right?" Candle Shadow said.
"Hopefully, hopefully is good news." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he sneered again and shook his head.
He hoped for good news, but unfortunately he could only wait for the final result to know if it was good or bad.
Waiting is always unsettling and apprehensive, and if there was a choice, then Cao Cao would rather be a participant than a waiter now. He had a reason why he had to stay in Luoyang City, and as one of the current seven captains of Xiyuan, it was impossible for him to leave at will like Yun Ting.
"Waiting for the news, I really hope the news I am waiting for will arrive soon. For better or for worse. Cao Cao sighed softly.
Candle Shadow smiled and continued Cao Cao's unfinished words: "If you have good news, you can be happy early, and maybe you can be happy for a long time." If the bad news is bad, it's a good idea to come early, at least to leave a buffer and time to respond. ”
Cao Cao nodded, but Candle Shadow understood him and said everything in his heart. Whether it's good or bad, he's acceptable, and he's never completely sure in this world anyway.
Now he can't do anything, all he can do is wait. Do what needs to be done at hand, finish it, and wait for the delivery of the cloud news.
On the official road from Bingzhou to Luoyang, the cavalry flew away, day and night, and the groups of cavalry had a lot of wind and dust. From their faces, you can still see the thick dark circles under their eyes, as well as a little tiredness. It looks like it's been a while since the last break.
These cavalry are all Bingzhou cavalry, one of the three most elite cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty, guarding the border of Bingzhou, and fighting with the alien Xianbei all year round. The leader was Ding Yuan, who rushed to Luoyang City from Bingzhou, as well as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao under his command, as well as several other athletes.
It can be said that in addition to the few athletes who had to stay in the state, Ding Yuan brought all his family background. In order to perform well in front of the emperor and the general He Jin, and at the same time, there is no lack of meaning to show his strength in front of many courtiers, so as to prepare for entering the court.
Because of this relationship, Ding Yuan did not dare to relax along the way, and if necessary, he let the entire cavalry march quickly. He learned from the messenger sent to deliver the message that he was not the only one who had ordered the general to enter Beijing this time. If you go slowly, then everything will be settled, and there will be no more of his business, and there will naturally be nothing to do.
He'll be a little anxious.
The war horses of the cavalry of Bingzhou are not like the state of cavalry on horses, they are still in good spirits, and the speed between running is not slow.
This also stems from the cavalry's love for war horses, most of the elite cavalry, especially in Liangzhou, and the cavalry in the border army of Bingzhou and Youzhou are the same. For war horses, they are all treated like uncles.
If you can't eat well, you have to let the war horse eat well, and if you don't rest well, you have to let the war horse rest well. On the way, the only time that Ding Yuan ordered the entire cavalry army to stop and rest was also to let the war horses have a good rest. As for people? What to rest? Carrying and running, it is not a person, and the cavalry on the horse will be a little tired, but not to death, and this is enough.
The cavalry galloped and attracted the attention of countless people on the official road. Among them, the most eye-catching ones are none other than Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, among them, Lu Bu is even greater, far away, all of a sudden people focus on him, and they are firmly attracted.
At this moment, Lu Bu didn't care about the eyes of the people around him at all, he touched the mane of the war horse under the seat with his hand, and there was a little worry in his eyes. The horse carried him all the way, and now the speed became slower and slower, and after a few breaks, it did not get better, but became more and more serious.
He knew that with the weight of his body, the weight of Fang Tian's painting halberd, and the armor on his body, it was completely heavy. Usually the war horse can bear it, but in the process of this kind of rush, there is not much time to rest, and it is not long, and it is impossible for the war horse under the seat to fully recover. The fatigue accumulated again and again, and he didn't know when the war horse would be completely unbearable, he didn't know the specific time, but he knew that the time would come soon.
In the past, the war horses that Lu Bu rode when he fought in Bingzhou were like this. Every once in a while the horse must be changed, otherwise the horse will become thinner after a few months, and if he fights with him, the horse will become thinner and faster.
Bingzhou also produces good horses, and only good horses can withstand the weight of Lu Bu and his set of equipment. If it was an ordinary horse, let Lu Bu ride it, I don't know how many horses even Lu Bu couldn't carry it.
Since ancient times, good horses have been matched by famous generals. Every famous general who fights on the battlefield must have a good horse by his side, because that is their life.
On the battlefield, if the horse can't support your weight, suddenly falls, or runs slowly, it is a mortal danger. There will be so many people who are eager for a good horse, a good horse in hand, even if you can't beat it, you can run it completely.
Here in Lu Bu, having a good horse is not for running, but for fighting on the battlefield. The reason why he has good archery skills and brings a bow and arrows with him every time he goes to battle is not because of how much he loves bows and arrows, but because of war horses.
Sometimes, when fighting with the Xianbei cavalry, often his horse speed is a little slower and he can't catch up with the Xianbei cavalry, so he must use a bow and arrow to shoot the Xianbei cavalry. Now that his notoriety has spread throughout Xianbei, and almost all Xianbei people will start running desperately as long as they hear that he is leading the army, Lu Bu can't catch up.
The Xianbei cavalry couldn't fight, as soon as they saw him, they ran away, how could he still have a chance to come forward and fight?
This created his outstanding archery skills, all of which were practiced on the body of the Xianbei cavalry, so that in a later battle, fewer and fewer Xianbei cavalry died under his halberd, and more and more died under the arrow. At that time, Lu Bu was shocked to realize that his archery skills had reached an extremely high level.
All of this was forced. He didn't have a good horse, so he couldn't catch up with the Xianbei cavalry, of course, he had to shoot the Xianbei cavalry with a bow and arrow.
Every time he pulled the bowstring, shot the arrow, and shot the enemy, he always had some melancholy. Although he shot the enemy, Lu Bu still felt that it was not enjoyable enough, and shot the enemy with an arrow, how could his Fang Tian painting halberd sweep over, and the blood and flesh were splashed?
Looking at Ding Yuan's back in front of him, the war horse under his seat, the melancholy in Lu Bu's eyes was even worse. Ding Yuan's war horse is a really good horse, the kind of top good horse that can travel thousands of miles and understands human nature. As for why he knew, the reason was very simple, this horse turned out to be his.
When Lu Bu was escorting Yun Ting through the Xianbei grassland, after being besieged by many Xianbei tribes, he snatched this good horse from a Xianbei leader on the way back. When he returned to Jinyang City, Lu Bu cherished this good horse that was inferior to any famous horse, not only did he feed the horse himself, but he couldn't sleep for many late nights, and he could only sleep after getting up to look at this horse.
Speaking of which, on many nights of expedition, without the company of his wife Yan, he could sleep peacefully. But when facing this horse, Lu Bu didn't have that kind of mentality at all, and many times he woke up laughing in his sleep, and when his wife next to him asked him what he was laughing at, Lu Bu didn't answer, but laughed even happier.
When he was finally annoyed by the question, Lu Bu said that he was happy because he had such a horse. As a result, it was canceled by Yan, and he laughed and said that he would be able to take the quilt and live with the horse.
Lu Bu was not annoyed, he was really happy, so happy that he could ignore many other things. With such a horse, many of his troubles are solved, and he no longer needs to worry about the problem of war horses, let alone watch the prey in his hands escape every time.
There will always be some accidents that cannot be avoided, no matter how good archery skills are, there will be times when there is no way to shoot the target, and there are places where the arrows cannot reach. Fortunately, with this horse, nothing counts.
But some happiness didn't last long, and it disappeared all of a sudden, which is a strange point about Lu Bu. And not only is it gone, but it will also make the mood worse and make anger surge.
The horse had not been in his hands for five days, and in his words, it was not even hot to sit on. On the sixth day, Ding Yuan asked him to go for questioning, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the matter of the war horse.
He, Lu Bu, is not a stupid person! immediately realized what Ding Yuan was going to do, but there was no way. Just as he was helpless when he was a fierce general, but he was placed in the position of the main thin.
Lu Bu knew very well what the consequences would be if he didn't pay it. There is nothing wrong with being an enemy of ten thousand people, but it's just himself, he still has a family in Jinyang City, and his current official position. And these can be deprived of by Ding Yuan at any time, and he will also beat him into a rebellion and send troops to besiege him.
This horse, Lu Bu also named it, called it Yinxue. But no matter how much he liked it, Lu Bu had no way to change the result of Yinxue leaving him, and he still handed it over despite his reluctance.
Every time he saw Ding Yuan riding Yinxue, Lu Bu always felt bad in his heart, the person on it should have been his, and it should have been him!
How long ago was Ding Yuan leading the army to fight? Lu Bu couldn't remember it anymore, he only remembered that he had fought with Zhang Liao and others everywhere in the past few years, and had won countless victories, and only a small part of these credits fell on their heads, and most of them were recorded on Ding Yuan's head.
Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with Ding Yuan being an assassin, and there is nothing wrong with his superiors. However, what do people who don't need to go to war need such a good war horse for?
Lu Bu couldn't figure it out, if one day it was time for Ding Yuan to lead the army to fight and face the enemy, it might mean that they were already dead. These people died, and he didn't think that Ding Yuan still had a chance to win and survive.
Ding Yuan, now in Lu Bu's heart, he calls him by his name, and there is not much respect left.
If it is said that from a small soldier back then, he has been promoted by Ding Yuan to the present, then Lu Bu has already paid off those favors, and the Xianbei people killed by his subordinates and the Xianbei tribe slaughtered are enough for people to get a very good military position. He, hum, turned out to be a military Chinese position, and he was firmly pressed to the position of the main thin and could not move.
He wants to climb up, anyone has ambitions, especially in the army, pinning his life to his belt, and who doesn't have ambitions? But he has been doing it for two years, and he doesn't even have a chance to move up a little.
After the incident of the war horse being taken away by Ding Yuan, Lu Bu really no longer had hope, and there should be no hope.
This time it's a war horse, what's next? Is it that in the future, he will accept a beautiful concubine, and Ding Yuan will take a fancy to him, and he will have to hand it over? There is also his Fang Tian painting halberd, the reason why Ding Yuan didn't take it was because he couldn't take it at all, otherwise he would have taken it a long time ago, right?
This time he went to Luoyang City, and Lu Bu hoped to find an opportunity to climb up. At least here in Ding Yuan, he can't see any hope, and Zhang Liao and the others are basically not much worse, obviously the military achievements are enough, but they are still idle in the army.
He's had enough!
