Chapter 640: Xiangguo is so hard
Faced with Niu Fu's righteous questioning, Lu Bu was really a little puzzled.
Although Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, his loyalty to Dong Zhuo is not so high?
At least during the period of cooperation with Lu Bu, Lu Bu didn't see that Niu Fu had such a high loyalty to Dong Zhuo!
Besides, now Dong Zhuo is dying, he belongs to people who have today and no tomorrow, Lu Bu just wants to give Niu Fu a way out, not to let Niu Fu betray Dong Zhuo, how could Niu Fu have such a fierce reaction?
Could it be that after Dong Zhuo died, he Niu Fu did not return to the imperial court, but wanted to be the king of the mountain in Liangzhou?
Is this wisdom left for so many years? What a year of being a general for nothing!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but itch his teeth.
Originally, Niu Fu was still a very reliable person, why did he do things so badly at a critical moment?
If you don't want to do it yourself, forget it, don't drag me into the water desperately!
In the face of Niu Fu's pretended scolding, Lu Bu didn't take his swearing seriously.
Lu Bu has fought in the north and south in his life, and he has encountered a lot of hard stubble, and he has fought with many fierce generals in his life, how can he scare Lu Bu with these three or two shots?
Facing Niu Fu's menacing appearance, Lu Bu just said very indifferently: "General Niu, what do you want to do with so-and-so?" ”
Niu Fu saw that after he finished saying cruel words, Lu Bu actually didn't treat himself as a dish, and the anger in his heart also came up a little.
Okay, you Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, Niu someone has no prestige and deterrence at all in his heart?
Thinking of this, he saw Niu Fu turn around and walk to the sword stand next to him, pick up his long sword from the sword stand, and then pull the long sword out of the scabbard with a "clang".
"Lu Bu, if you dare not listen to me, the two of us will fight to the death today, so that you can see if the long sword in my hand is not good!"
If it was someone else, in the face of Niu Fu's sword-drawing threat, he must have some scruples in his heart.
But it's a pity that the person Niu Fu is threatening now is Lu Bu among the people!
Not to mention that what Niu Fu is holding in his hand is a long sword,
He was now holding a forty-meter-long big knife in his hand, and in front of Lu Bu, it was like playing a house, without any threat at all!
I saw Lu Bu with a straight face, and walked in the direction where Niu Fu was step by step.
And the long sword held in Niu Fu's hand was like nothing in Lu Bu's eyes!
He actually pressed his chest against Ushisuke's long sword.
Niu Fu was stunned when he saw this, and then subconsciously took two steps back!
This time he made a judgment from a high level, and the momentum showed that Lu Bu had been able to suppress Niu Fu.
"You, what are you going to do here?"
Niu Fu asked Lu Budao nervously.
Lu Bu said to Niu Fu with a silent face: "General Niu, you and I are both prosperous and lossy, is the advice that Lu Someone made to you today for myself?" ”
"I'm also thinking about General Niu and the soldiers of the three armies, if Xiangguo dies and we don't serve the court, who should we surrender? Is it possible to be a homeless grass coward in Liangzhou? ”
"And after returning to the imperial court, we don't necessarily want to be under Wang Yun's command, we are just taking this opportunity to return to the imperial court now, and when we take power in the future, you and my brothers will join forces to get rid of the control of those noble ministers over us, and we will form our own family to assist the emperor, isn't it beautiful?"
"At that time, the power of the court will be in the hands of you and me, and you and I will be the personal generals of the Son of Heaven, just like the current Xiangguo, isn't it a good day like this? What's wrong with Lu's words? What does General Niu think is not feasible? ”
Lu Bu's words stunned Niu Fu's words.
Since Lu Bu lost to Liu Jian last time, he has learned from his pain and worked hard to grow, although he is not as good as the top princes in the world, but the current Lu Bu is completely different from the reckless man of the past.
This generous statement will not answer what Niu Fu said.
It took him a long time to reply:
"I just think that Xiangguo is not dead now, let's look around for opportunities to seek refuge with others, it's too anxious, I'm a son-in-law, and I can't face my wife when I go home!"
Hearing Niu Fu say this, Lu Bu took another step forward and pressed his chest against the tip of the long sword in Niu Fu's hand again.
"If General Niu can't trust Lu Bu, then take Lu Bu's life here, and then General Niu can do whatever he wants, and Lu will not bother the general in the future, how about it?"
Seeing this, Niu Fu's face turned a little blue, and he suddenly stomped his foot heavily, and then put the long sword aside.
"Feng Xian, Feng Xian, the two of us have been working together for a while, and we know each other well, just at this juncture, how can I really kill you? I just hope that you will stabilize and don't agree to the greetings of those people in the court for the time being, we have to do things step by step, some things must not be in a hurry, once you are in a hurry, what if you can't turn back? ”
When Lu Bu heard Niu Fu say this, he couldn't help frowning.
He has also cooperated with Niu Fu for a while, and he still knows Niu Fu's temperament well.
Niu Fu is an anxious person, and at the same time he is a person with a relatively impatient temperament, he can't hold his breath when he does anything, but now when he encounters such a big thing, he can calm down, which is clearly not Niu Fu's character.
But what the specific reason for this is, Lu Bu can't figure it out for the time being.
There was no way, so Lu Bu could only say: "What General Niu said is that Lu is too impatient, and I apologize to General Niu here." ”
Seeing Lu Bu apologize to himself so sincerely, Niu Fu's face suddenly showed a little smile.
"Feng Xian, it's good that you understand your mistake, it doesn't matter, you and I are people in the same boat, how can I see you in the abyss of trouble and not pull you?"
"You let me think twice about taking refuge in the imperial court, and when my thoughts are clear, let's make plans again."
Niu Fu felt that he would definitely get Lu Bu's consent when he said this, but he didn't know that Lu Bu actually despised him a little now in his heart.
As the saying goes, when the judgment continues, it will be disturbed.
Regardless of why Niu Fu had this thought, but in this case, he actually had to observe the situation, and Lu Bu was really disappointed in Niu Fu in his heart.
How can such a person cooperate with him for a long time?
However, on the surface, Lu Bu still said: "General Niu is right. ”
Just as Niu Fu and Lu Bu were discussing this matter, a guard outside the door hurried over, saying that it was a herald sent by Dong Huang to convey military orders to Niu Fu and Lu Bu.
When Niu Fu heard that it was Dong Huang's herald, his face couldn't help but show a little disdain.
"How can this kid still send a herald? What right does he have to command me? ”
The guards of the Niu Mansion hurriedly said: "General Hui, the herald sent by Dong Huang does not represent himself, but Xiangguo. ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw that Niu Fu and Lu Bu's faces changed.
The meaning of these words is not unknown to the two of them.
How could Dong Zhuo's herald suddenly appear?
It stands to reason that Dong Zhuo is weak and weak now, he may not even know who he is, how can he still send a herald?
Niu Fu and Lu Bu glanced at each other suspiciously.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Niu Fu still ordered, "Let him in." ”
Then the herald entered the horde.
He gave a military salute to Niu Fu and Lu Bu respectively.
"The prime minister has an order that at noon tomorrow afternoon, the generals will be drilled in the school field of Ji County, and the three armies will be drilled, and the military order promulgated will also be known to the two generals."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu and Niu Fu were suddenly shocked.
Dong Zhuo wants to personally teach the three armies, isn't he sick?
And he is already terminally ill, and he is already unconscious.
How did this suddenly turn out to be better?
Lu Bu turned his head to look at Niu Fu suspiciously.
But seeing Niu Fu hurriedly said, "I will take the order myself." ”
After ordering the soldiers to leave, Niu Fu looked at Lu Bu again and said, "Fengxian, take a look, I'll let you stop and wait for a while, right?" ”
"Xiangguo's illness, isn't this just getting better?"
"If we really take refuge in that bullshit Wang Yun now, once we turn around, this matter will be known by Xiangguo."
"I don't know how the two of us died."
"Isn't that right to listen to me?"
Whether this matter is right or not, Lu Bu doesn't know.
However, he now has some doubts in his heart.
Then I saw Lu Bu and said: "Lu will go back first, count the soldiers on the hour, and wait for Xiangguo's drill." ”
Niu Fu nodded vigorously and said, "Go quickly, don't go back and delay, it will anger Xiangguo!" ”
Lu Bu arched his hand, then turned around and left.
After returning to his military village, he was just in time for Zhang Liao to meet him.
Lu Bu recounted to him what happened in the Niu Fu Military Village.
Zhang Liao said: "A certain person came here to Fengxian, also because the herald of the appropriate Xiangguo came to inform a certain Xiangguo to order troops in the school field, so he came to discuss this matter with Fengxian, but according to the current situation, Xiangguo's condition should really improve, otherwise he would not have ordered troops in front of the three armies." ”
Lu Bu nodded.
He then asked Zhang Liao another question.
"Niu Fu is not a calm person, why this time I invited him to join the imperial court, but he pushed back and observed, this doesn't seem to be his character."
Zhang Liao actually didn't understand the mystery of this.
Although he is both wise and brave, after all, he is still good at leading troops to fight, and he is still slightly inferior to political and human problems.
Zhang Liao thought hard for a long time before he said slowly:
"General Niu, isn't there any agreement with someone else?"
"Therefore, I don't want to let Feng go to Wang Yun before you go to Wang Yun before him."
"Although Feng Xian is currently on the same front as him, after all, the two of you are not from the same state."
"The two of you, one was born in Liangzhou, and the other was born in Bingzhou."
"At times like these, it's normal to disagree."
"I'm afraid that Niu Fu is unwise, and he will be calculated by others, and he will delay us in vain."
Lu Bu raised his hand and slammed the table in front of him hard.
"No matter who it is, if it delays my Lu's future, I will kill him."
Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "There is no need to be so anxious now. ”
"Let's look at the state of the Xiangguo school when the soldiers are ordered, let's make a judgment."
……
……
At noon, the generals of each department led their elites to the school grounds, waiting for Dong Zhuo's drill.
Then, Dong Zhuo, who was fully armed and wearing heavy armor, appeared in front of everyone.
The Xiliang generals led by him were all surprised the moment they saw Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's heavy armor was very heavy, and if he was replaced by a weak person, he would not be able to walk in this suit of armor at all.
But looking at Dong Zhuo's current appearance, walking with his head held high, the weight of this suit of armor is not reflected in him at all.
What is the state of a sick person?
All the generals were secretly thinking in their hearts.
"Could it be that Sangkook's illness is really cured?"
Dong Zhuo came to the top of the high platform, fiercely glanced back and forth at these people below, and finally couldn't help laughing.
Dong Zhuo's laughter sounded full of neutrality to everyone.
"Generals, in the past few months, the old man has occasionally felt cold, and he has never been a director, thanks to the generals who control the military affairs, so that the three armies can not be disturbed by the thief army, the old man here, thank you!"
The generals hurriedly bowed their hands to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuolong walked back and forth on the high platform, and said: "Although the old man's body is healed, his physical strength is still not enough, and he can't fully control all things in the army, so for the time being, the affairs of the army will be handed over to my nephew to deal with for the old man, and then I can show my nephew to the old man, and then he will explain it to the old man." ”
After that, Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Huang: "Huang'er, the old man appointed you as the protector of the three armies!" ”
This was naturally discussed by Dong Zhuo and Dong Huang in advance, and the purpose was to have Dong Zhuo come forward today to deter the generals, so that the generals would stop a little, not make any trouble at this critical moment, and then concentrate power on Dong Huang.
In this way, it can be temporarily guaranteed that the Xiliang Army will not be divided.
Dong Zhuo ordered the officers and men of the three armies to practice the formation in front of him, and then gave some instructions, and then ordered the commanders of each department to lead their troops back, still according to the original arrangement.
Dong Zhuo's appearance today can be said to have stabilized Xiliangjun's uneasy heart.
Especially for a person like Lu Bu, when he saw that Dong Zhuo's body was still so strong, he naturally didn't dare to think about taking refuge in the affairs of others under his command again.
But in fact, Dong Zhuo's body is still very weak now, but with his innate ruthlessness, coupled with his current strong perseverance, he managed to survive the scene.
Subsequently, he handed everything over to Dong Huang and asked Hua Xiong to assist him.
In order to be able to more firmly prevent the three armies from turmoil, he also recruited his younger brother Dong Min to come.
Thinking that Dong Min would arrive in Ji County in a few days.
And after Dong Zhuo got off the high platform and returned to his residence, he immediately lay on the bed as if he had collapsed, and he couldn't even stand up.
This time he really used up all his physical strength, and it is estimated that he is undergoing cultivation for a while.
But this time, it was worth it.
The crux of the problem is not only that he settled the officers and soldiers of the three armies under him, but also that the spies from all parties have also found out about Dong Zhuo's school training, especially Ma Teng and Han Sui.
The reason why Ma Teng and Han Sui are now stationed troops around Ji County and observe the situation at all times is because they know that Dong Zhuo is currently seriously ill.
The Xiliang army and the Bingzhou army are in the same situation, and they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
After the news of the three armies reached them, Ma Teng and Han Sui's hearts couldn't help but hesitate, if Dong Zhuo really recovered his health, they continued to stay here, but they were afraid that they might not be able to bargain for anything.
And it was at this time that Dong Zhuo also secretly sent envoys to Ma Teng and Han Sui, intending to make peace with them temporarily.
They don't have too much ambition, they just want to divide the northwest and look at the world.
If Dong Zhuo can withdraw from Liangzhou, they will be relieved, so this peace negotiation is actually beneficial to them.
So, Ma Teng and Han Sui borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and agreed to negotiate peace.
The rebels secretly reached a peace agreement with Dong Zhuo, so that the Xiliang army could withdraw their hands and take care of the affairs of the imperial court.
