Chapter 268: Writing and Persuasion

Besides, Ma Chao screamed so much that his voice was hoarse under Tongguan City, but he still didn't see Lu Bu come out.

There was no choice but to return to the barracks and discuss the siege with Han Sui and other Guanzhong princes.

At the moment, they have only 50,000 cavalry in their hands.

As long as the enemy holds on to the city of Tongguan, there is no way for 50,000 cavalry.

They can only wait.

Wait for the arrival of the bow infantry.

At the same time, in Tongguan City, Lu Bu was lying in the camp tent, and his hands were pillowing under his hands.

His mind kept looking back on the bits and pieces of these years.

Started from Gohara County to join the army.

Because of his skillful bow and horse, he was favored by Ding Yuan and appointed as the main book.

to follow Dong Zhuo and look at the heroes.

to kill Dong Zhuo, the name moves one side.

to follow Yuan Shao, and killed the Montenegrin army to lose its armor.

By entering Yanzhou, almost the entire Yanzhou was taken.

went to Xuzhou, killed Liu Bei several times and fled; With 4,000 troops, he killed Yuan Shu's hundreds of thousands of troops crying and calling his mother.

However, after Yuan Shu's defeat, he also began to decline.

In the first battle of Weitai, he was beaten by the Jiangdong army and was even captured alive.

During this period, he was even pursued by several generals in Jiangdong.

This time, after fighting with Ma Chao for more than 100 rounds, his helmet was swept off.

Lu Bu let out a long sigh.

It's really old.

It's no longer as brave as it used to be.

Remembering what his daughter Lu Qiling had said to herself, Lu Bu got up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and looked at the oil lamp in the camp tent in a daze.

Do you want to go on like this?

has lost the strength to win the world back then, and can only gradually sink in the future and become the laughing stock of others?

Before in Wu County, Wu County, even Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had a much higher status than themselves.

I can't hold my head up anymore.

In the future, will it only get worse?

The more he thought about this, the more anxious Lu Bu became.

Even, he felt as if he had been pricked with a needle all over his body.

Lu Bu got down from the bed, got out of the tent, and came outside, blowing a cool breeze to calm himself down.

Unknowingly, he actually came to Ling Tong's camp.

At this time, Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai were also in the Ling Tong camp.

The two are under the education of Ling Tong and are writing.

Looking at Ling Tong's immature face, Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai's rugged appearance, Lu Bu stopped.

Ling Tong noticed something strange and looked out of the tent suspiciously.

When he saw that it was Lu Bu outside, Ling Tong was about to come out.

Seeing this, Lu Bu left quickly.

Ling Tong then sat back down.

Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai also noticed Lu Bu.

Xu Sheng said: "Lu Bu, what is he doing outside?" It can't be that you have a bad mind and want to report to Wu Hou that Tong'er secretly came to the front line, right? ”

It turned out that although Ling Tong was appointed to Jingzhou before, he was forced by Lu Yi to stay at the Lu family in Wu County to recuperate because he was detected by Hua Tuo and had not yet recovered.

But how could he be willing?

So, he found a time, sneaked out of the Lu family, returned to his hometown, recruited three hundred clansmen, and then came directly to Wancheng, Jingzhou.

Wen Ping didn't know that he was forced to stay in the Lu family in Wu County by Wu Hou Lu Yi, so he didn't suspect it.

This time, Wen Ping received the task of Wu County, and led the army to Shangluo to the vicinity of Tongguan, preparing to deal with the princes of Guanzhong, and tasked with monitoring the movements of Cao Cao's army to prevent them from taking away the Son of Heaven and his family.

However, Wen Ping didn't know about Ling Tong, but Lu Bu did.

Because after Lu Bu arrived in Wu County, because his daughter Lu Qiling was Lu Yi's concubine, and had been living in the Lu family's mansion, he saw Ling Tong and others being forced by Lu Yi to stay in the Lu family to recuperate.

When Ling Tong heard Xu Sheng say this, he shook his head and said, "Won't it?" If he wanted to report it, he would have reported it a long time ago. I've been in Wancheng for so long, and he didn't say much. Moreover, they are already on the battlefield, even if Wu Hou really has an order, can I go back directly? will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. ”

After a pause, Ling Tong said again: "I think he was hit today, and he looks like he has something on his mind." ”

Xu Sheng said: "Do you want to send someone to spy on him?" In case he gets into trouble againβ€”"

Ling Tong waved his hand and said, "I don't feel like it." Ignore him for now, you can practice calligraphy! It's not too early, after practicing these words, you go to bed early, and you may have to face emergencies tomorrow. ”

Xu Sheng sighed and continued to write.

Lu Bu walked around from the door of Ling Tong's tent, and finally returned to the tent.

Kneeling in front of the desk, he hesitated for a moment, but he still brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Wen Ping.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to ask someone for advice.

During the period, it took a night to write a letter and let the soldiers send it out of the customs and send it to Wenpin.

Wen Ping was on the watchtower of the Wancheng army station, using a telescope to look at the military camp of the princes of Guanzhong in the distance.

Last year, the three dynasties converged, and the four major military regions were given a telescope.

His telescope was originally held by Zhu Zhi.

This time he set out from Wancheng, and Zhu Zhi asked people to give him a telescope.

Looking through the telescope at the military camp of the princes of Guanzhong in the distance, Wen Ping smacked his tongue.

It's a telescope, and it's really far.

With this telescope here, what scouts should be sent, just look at it.

Just as he was looking at it, under the watchtower, a general said in a loud voice: "General, there is a letter sent from Tongguan!" ”

Wen Ping was puzzled, "Huh? As he went down, he asked, "Who's?" Ling Tong's? Or is it from the imperial court? ”

The general said: "It seems to be General Lu Bu's." ”

Wen Ping: "."

Lu Bu's?

What did Lu Bu do when he sent a letter to himself?

Although curious, Wen Ping went down quickly, took the letter from the general's hand, opened it, and took out the paper inside.

It was full of dense words.

To be exact, it is covered with dense words.

In many places, scribbling and altering, it is a mess.

However, he can still see the meaning inside: Lu Bu feels that he is old and no longer as brave as he used to be. I want to change, but I don't know where to start. Moreover, I am old, I am afraid that I can only waste the years.

After reading the letter, Wen Ping was quite shocked.

Lu Bu would have troubles!

Moreover, they will take the initiative to tell themselves!

Moreover, in this letter, the traces of scribbling and alteration clearly show that when Lu Bu wrote the letter, his heart was very anxious and complicated.

This Lu Bu, this time he went to fight with Ma Chao, what happened?

Although curious, Wen Ping still didn't think too much about it.

He returned to the tent and spent his footsteps in it.

After a long time, he knelt down in front of the desk and wrote seriously: "It is really gratifying that the general can wake up. ”

"The general is only fifty years old now, so how can he say that he is wasting his time?"

"Jiang Taigong has two out of seventy, fishing in Weishui, and he has to be reused by King Wen."

"Emperor Gaozu has seven out of forty, and only then did he raise the flag against Qin as the head of the Surabaya Pavilion."

"Closer, Xu Yuan went straight to the sword in the world, and followed Wu Hou to start practicing the art of war, so that Xuzhou won a great victory."

"As long as the general has the heart to forge ahead, he will eventually achieve something."

"Zi said, when I heard the truth, I can die at night."

"General, this is the time to read wisely and rise."

After writing, the ink was blown dry, and people were immediately sent to Tongguan City.

Seeing the soldier leave in a hurry with the letter, Wen Ping was silent for a moment, knelt down again, and wrote a letter to Lu Yi, the Marquis of Wu, who was far away in Wu County, telling Lu Yi what had happened in the past few days.

Lu Bu got the letter, read it, and slept a lot.

Early the next morning, he rushed to Ling Tong's camp.

Ling Tong was practicing martial arts with Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai outside the camp tent.

Seeing Lu Bu coming again, the three of them looked at each other.

Ling Tong greeted him and said, "What advice does General Fei have?" ”

Lu Bu scratched his head and said a little crampedly: "You studied with my son-in-law before?" ”

Ling Tong snorted.

Lu Budao: "Then, my son-in-law, did you ask you to read any books?" ”

Ling Tong said: "Yes, the main ones are "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Jiang Taigong's Book" and "Spring and Autumn". By the way, there are also often analyses of various wars in history with other people. ”

Lu Budao: "Do you have these things with you?" ”

Ling Tong: "."

Xu Sheng: "."

Zhou Tai: "."

Although he was puzzled, Ling Tong still asked Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai to help take off their armor.

Inside the armor, Ling Tong was wrapped in a long cloth around his abdomen.

Untie the cloth, and there are various words densely written on it, and there are even some pictures.

Ling Tong rolled up the cloth and said: "These are all notes that we made together when Brother Xun and I were studying together, and there are also various military book contents in them. After all, it is inconvenient to hold the bamboo slips, so I write them on this cloth strip and carry them close to me, so that whenever I have time, no matter where I am, I can take them out and take a look. ”

Lu Bu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "This, can I borrow it?" ”

Ling Tong vigilantly hid the strip of cloth behind him.

This is his treasure!

Lu Bu hurriedly said: "Just a few days, a few days?" I promise, after reading it, I will definitely return it to you. You hairy boy, don't you still trust me? Don't forget, you sneaked out of Wu County, and I didn't report you to my son-in-law! Isn't that a favor? ”

Ling Tong: "."

Glancing at Lu Bu suspiciously, Ling Tong said, "Are you sure you have to?" You can't damage it for me, or lose it. ”

Lu Bu raised his right hand and swore, "It will never be damaged or lost!" Otherwise, the sky will thunder and thunder, and five thunders will hit the top! ”

After speaking, he was a little unhappy and said, "How could I, Lu Bu, ever beg for someone so humbly?" To give or not to give? ”

Although Ling Tong was still a little unhappy, he still handed over the strip of cloth and said, "Words count!" Don't damage it, or lose it! ”

Lu Bu took the strip of cloth and left in high spirits.

Xu Sheng looked at the back of him leaving, and said with a strange expression: "It's really strange, he Lu Bu is a reckless man, and one day, he will want to read the book of soldiers!" ”

Zhou Tai also said: "Is it stimulated, and then delirious?" ”

Looking at Ling Tong, Zhou Tai said, "In case he destroys your thing, you can cry!" ”

Ling Tongzheng was a little worried, but when he saw Lu Bu turn back again, he said to Ling Tong: "Maotou boy, if I don't understand something, I'll come to you again!" ”

After saying that, leave again.

Ling Tong: "."

Xu Sheng: "."

Zhou Tai: "."

Dare to love Lu Bu, this reckless man is really here?

This is a strange thing in the world!
