Chapter 14 Training the New Army

Hua Xiong deliberately glanced at Lu Bu defiantly.

"I seem to have heard someone say I was a deserter just now, I don't know if I was slapped in the face?"

Lu Bu's face was extremely pale, and he almost didn't tilt his nose.

This Huaxiong is too arrogant!

"General Hua is really brave and resourceful!"

"With a military general like General Hua, it is really the act of my Han Dynasty!"

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others slapped Huaxiong's sycophants as if they didn't want money.

Previously, they thought that Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's godson, and Hua Xiong lied about his military exploits, so he stood on Lu Bu's side.

And when they found out that Hua Xiong really seriously injured Cao Cao and scared Cao Jun away, after winning Dong Zhuo's appreciation, they immediately abandoned Lu Bu.

Looking at this group of villains who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and Hua Xiong, who was arrogant, Lu Bu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.

……

After driving Dong Zhuo away from Luoyang City, the alliance of princes also fell into intrigue because of the uneven distribution of interests.

In addition, Cao Cao was seriously injured during the pursuit, and no one was willing to chase Dong Zhuo and his party at this time.

Without the pursuers, Dong Zhuo led his troops to hold the Son of Heaven and the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, as well as millions of Luoyang people, and came to Chang'an City in a leisurely manner.

Hua Xiong has made great contributions, and now he is a big celebrity in front of Dong Zhuo.

In order to reward him for his merits, Dong Zhuo specially chose a mansion in Chang'an City to give to him.

Wei Yiyi, escorted by Huzi and others, arrived safely at Huaxiong's mansion.

After tossing for several days, the civil and military officials and people of the Han Dynasty settled down.

Before Hua Xiong could breathe a sigh of relief, Dong Zhuo announced that he would go to the Taishi Mansion, saying that there was a negotiation.

When he arrived at the Taishi Mansion, there were already many people waiting inside.

Seeing Hua Xiong coming, they came forward to greet Hua Xiong.

"General Hua, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your demeanor is still the same."

Li Dao and Guo Yan patted Hua Xiong's ass as a matter of course.

A thin literati with a long beard on the side nodded to Huaxiong,

"General Hua."

Hua Xiong recognized this person, it was Li Ru, the strategist next to Dong Zhuo.

He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly bowed to Li Ru.

"Mr. Lee."

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's most trusted strategist.

Many major strategies, such as Dong Zhuo's entry into King Jingqin and the relocation of the capital to Chang'an, were all made by Li Ru.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he strongly suggested that Dong Zhuo reward Diao Chan to Lu Bu.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo didn't follow his advice, which eventually led to the father and son turning against each other.

In addition to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Li Ru and others, there are also Lu Bu and his generals.

Hua Xiong's eyes swept around, slightly puzzled.

The people who were ordered to come to the Taishi Mansion today are all generals and strategists within the Xiliang Army.

None of the ministers of the court, such as Wang Yun, appeared.

It seems that today belongs to an internal meeting.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo moved his fat body and slowly walked in from the outside.

"See Taishi!"

Everyone saluted Dong Zhuo in unison.

Dong Zhuo sat on the wide bed and nodded casually.

His gaze looked around, fell on Hua Xiong, and suddenly showed a smiling face.

"Come on, give General Hua a seat!"

Several soldiers brought a chair.

Hua Xiong nodded at Dong Zhuo with some flattery,

"Thank you, Master."

Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to etiquette.

In front of him, all the people have to stand, where can there be a chair to sit on?

And today, Hua Xiong just got a seat.

It can be seen how much he is loved by Dong Zhuo.

Everyone present looked at Hua Xiong's eyes full of envy and jealousy.

"You're welcome, you've made great contributions to our family, why can't our family treat you badly?"

Dong Zhuo smiled, looked at everyone, and his face suddenly became serious.

"I have summoned you today because I want to announce to you that I intend to select men and form a new army!"

Dong Zhuo fought with the allied forces of the princes, and the losses were not small, so he planned to reorganize the new army.

But since it is an army, it is necessary to have generals.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then their eyes became hot.

Now that the troubled times are beginning to appear, only with military power in hand can there be capital.

They all want to be generals in the new army.

"If you have any ideas, just tell me about them."

Everyone glanced at each other, and at this moment, Lu Bu suddenly stood up.

He arched his hand at Dong Zhuo, "Father-in-law, the child is willing to take the initiative to take the burden of training the new army!" ”

Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and he is brave.

As soon as he opened his mouth like this, the generals next to him did not dare to fight with him, even if they were unwilling.

Seeing this scene, Dong Zhuo frowned slightly, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

He is suspicious by nature, and last time because of Huaxiong's matter, he was a little suspicious of Lu Bu.

In addition, now that Lu Bu is powerful, the soldiers in his hands have accounted for nearly half of the Xiliang army.

Dong Zhuo was naturally reluctant to hand over the new army to Lu Bu again.

Suddenly, a calm voice sounded in the room,

"The subordinates are willing to train the new army and share the worries of the Taishi."

Everyone was stunned, there was someone who was not afraid of death and wanted to fight for power with Lu Bu?

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out that it was none other than Hua Xiong!

Now that Huaxiong is in troubled times, whether it is to protect himself or to create a great cause first, he must have an army.

If Lu Bu is allowed to take away this army again, Hua Xiong is afraid that he will be even more pressed in the future.

So no matter what, Hua Xiong has to compete with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Huaxiong, are you determined to get along with me?"

"Fengxian, I don't like to hear what you say. I just took the initiative to ask for help and share my worries for the master. ”

Hua Xiong pouted.

"If you fight with me for the new army, aren't you still having trouble with me?" Lu Bu snorted coldly.

"What do you mean by fighting with you for a new army? Who the general of this new army is, it is up to the master to decide. Do you think this army is yours? Feng Xian, your thinking is very dangerous. ”

Hua Xiong pretended to look at Lu Bu in surprise.

"You! You're pouring dirty water on me! ”

Lu Bu was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said to Dong Zhuo,

"Father-in-law, Hua Xiong is talking nonsense, don't believe it."

But Dong Zhuo was originally suspicious of Lu Bu, and after listening to Hua Xiong's words, his eyes were a little more suspicious.

"Enough, who is loyal to me and who has different intentions, I naturally know in my heart!"

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

Lu Bu had to shut up unwillingly.

At this moment, Li Ru suddenly opened his mouth gently.

"Stir up trouble, since the two generals are competing to train the new army, it is better to let them each recruit a thousand strong men, train for a period of time, and then have a competition."

"Whoever wins will be qualified to lead the new army."

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, "Li Ru's method is good, what do you think?" ”

"No problem!"

Lu Bu agreed without hesitation.

This time it was Hua Xiong's turn to hesitate.
