Chapter 39: Feng Xian
"Prince. ”
Zhang Liao strode over and saluted with a fist: "The last general will search the whole village and get 200 stone of grain." ”
"Two hundred stones?!"
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "How long can I eat?"
"Two days at most. Zhang Liao said.
"Not enough!"
Lu Bu said ruthlessly: "I want grain and grass, all grain and grass!"
A halberd in his hand pointed at the village elder kneeling in front of the horse, and shouted: "Your whole village has hundreds of people, and there are definitely more than 200 stone grain. Where are they hiding? Quickly hand over the grain and grass, otherwise, the whole village, old and young, will not be left behind!"
The village elder trembled, the tip of his nose was facing the tip of the sharp halberd, his face was gray and gloomy, and he hissed and begged: "General, let the old man refute." Although there are hundreds of people in my Hanjia Village, but the year is not good, this year's grain harvest is poor, the villagers are already hungry and surviving, the general has a benevolent heart, let my Hanjia Village have a way to live!"
"Humph!"
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I will let you live, who will let me Lu Bu live!"
"Wen Yuan, bring Qingzhuang forward!"
He also said: "I will kill the young and strong first, if you don't pay the grain again, I will kill the women and children! I, Lu Bu, am at the end of the road, and I don't care about anything!"
When Zhang Liao heard this, his expression was stunned, and he hesitated: "Junhou, this is just a small village in the mountains, and it is not easy to have two hundred stones. Why don't you take these 200 stone grain and go directly to Dacheng to ask for it?"
"That's easy for you!"
A general behind Lu Bu shouted: "The big city is guarded by an army, where can I ask for it? I have been running for half a month, and I am already sleepy and tired, even if we want to attack the city, we have to eat and drink enough, right?"
"What's more..."Another general looked at the ugly look on Lu Bu's face and said, "Do you know where the pursuers of these dog thieves have gone?"
"No more talk!"
Lu Bu waved his hand: "Lao'er, quickly hand over the grain and grass!"
"Prince!"
Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "No!"
At this time, a silent person in the distance also spoke: "Prince, taking away the people's grain and grass is unjust!"
"They are all at the end of their rope, what is unjust. The general who spoke first scoffed: "Prince, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and only by taking food from the village can we stabilize the morale of the army." ”
Lu Bu's face changed, and suddenly the halberd in his palm shook, and the blade of the halberd flickered, and he was about to cut off the old head of the village, but suddenly, he noticed a huge force blocking him. The halberd blade was close to the village elder's neck, but it couldn't fall!
"Wait. ”
The clear voice came from afar, and before it fell, the last tail note had already arrived in front of me!
Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and when he looked again, he saw a young man who looked like a scribe standing in front of him.
Zhao Yu stretched out his hand, moved Lu Bu's halberd blade away, and helped the village elder up, and said, "Village elder, you take the villagers back to the village, I am here." ”
The village elder looked at Zhao Yu, and suddenly said: "Mr. is from the mountain..."
Zhao Yu smiled and nodded: "It's exactly below." The village is old and goes back to the village, don't worry. ”
"But..."How could the village elder not be worried: "But..."
Zhao Yu shook his head, pinched Lu Bu's halberd blade with one hand, and turned his head while looking at the hundreds of villagers who were being escorted by the soldiers.
"Come, help the village elder back. ”
A few young people, you look at me, I look at you, or come out, help the village elder from Zhao Yu's hands, turn around step by step, and walk towards the village. Seeing this, the rest of the villagers swarmed to follow.
At this time, the surrounding generals and soldiers were silent.
Lu Bu's face was flushed, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and it was clear that he had burst out all the strength of his body, but he couldn't move the halberd in the slightest.
"You—" a few words came out between his teeth, "who is it!"
Only then did Zhao Yu let go of the halberd blade, Lu Bu couldn't hold back his strength, and even stumbled with people and horses.
Zhao Yu said lightly: "I am Zhao Yu." You, is Lu Bu Lu Fengxian?"
"It's Benhou!"
Lu Bu already knew that this person was not an ordinary person, but he didn't want to lose a trace of face in his mouth, and shouted: "You dare to stop my army?!"
Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled, looking at the more than 10,000 iron horsemen stationed outside the village, Yun said lightly: "You are an army of iron horses, and you can dominate the world." I'm a local chicken, it's insignificant. I heard that you used to fight against the Beiyu barbarians in Bingzhou, and I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect that here, you would take the people's grain and grass, how different is it from the bandits?"
“...”
Lu Bu's face was blushing when he was said, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Yu.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and a few others who were still ashamed all lowered their heads.
There are a few people who have no shame for a long time, but after all, they feel that the person in front of them is strange, and they dare not answer.
"If I had seen someone like you like a thief a few years ago, I would have killed you, and I would have left no chickens and dogs. But lately, I've been cultivating my life and I don't want to kill. If you get rid of Dong Zhuo, you can be regarded as virtuous in the world, I will let you go, but you have to do one thing for me. ”
"Hugh will speak wildly!"
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "I have an army in hand, you dare to bully me!"
"If you don't see the coffin, you don't cry. Zhao Yu's face turned pale, and between his sleeves, the wind swept up on the ground, and the smoke and dust rolled, and in an instant, the more than 10,000 cavalry gathered within a radius of the village entrance were all shrouded in it!
I only heard people shouting and neighing, and when the wind passed, it was already scattered.
So the crows fell silent.
"I want you to march this way, and not disturb the people. If I hear about it, it will be the end of the earth, and I will catch up with you and kill you. Go ahead. Zhao Yu waved his hand: "Don't wait for me to change my mind." ”
"Let's go!"
Lu Bu's voice changed tone, as if he had seen a ghost, and in the panic, a group of people swarmed away, and the people and horses were in chaos.
Zhao Yu watched the chaotic soldiers leave for a long time.
Han Shu chased down the mountain, standing beside Zhao Yu at this time, seeing this scene, his expression was natural.
Even a big mountain is idle, and there are more than 10,000 cavalry, so what's the matter?
At this time, the village elder and the villagers also came out, so he thanked Zhao Yu quite helplessly.
"That's it. ”
Zhao Yu sighed: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day." ”
He looked at Han Shu and said, "I have collected a lot of jade, which is enough for the time being. I have taught you the exercises, and I have taught everything that should be taught in terms of basics, and it is up to you to practice on your own to go where you can go in the future. Say goodbye here. ”
Zhao Yu can imagine what kind of image he will have in the minds of the villagers after experiencing this incident. I'm afraid I'm going to be offered, and I can't stay anymore. Fortunately, in the past ten days, a lot of jade has been collected, and it is time to leave.
He came freely, and he went freely, under the admiring and reluctant eyes of Xiao Hanshu and the villagers, his feet shrank into inches, and his figure gradually disappeared into the wilderness. Only the legend of an immortal is left here.
When Zhao Yu left Dushan, he felt bored.
He let Lu Bu go, not because he said he didn't want to kill. If you really want to kill people, Zhao Yu is more ruthless than anyone else.
If you don't kill Lu Bu, there are Zhao Yu's own considerations.
In the original history, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao led Lu Bu into Yanzhou and almost took away Cao Mengde's foundation. But in Zhao Yu's view, it's not all harmful.
Now that Zhao Yu's understanding of the family is becoming more and more transparent, the more he knows that the existence of the family is an obstacle to humanity. Yanzhou is located in the Central Plains, which is a place where the family is extremely prosperous. Cao Mengde's ability to ascend to the position of Yanzhou Assassin is also the will of the family - they need someone who can fight well to block the rebellion for them.
When the Yellow Turban Incident happened, they suffered enough losses and never wanted to continue to suffer such losses.
In Zhao Yu's view, Chen Gong Zhang Miao and Lu Bu who can be introduced into Yanzhou are actually the consequences of Cao Mengde's policy of governance, which is contrary to the wishes of the family. But it is precisely because of this that Cao Mengde can be given enough reasons and excuses to purge the clans within Yanzhou.
This is what Zhao Yu is willing to see.
So he let Lu Bu go, just to watch Lu Bu be introduced into Yanzhou by the family families represented by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, so that Cao Mengde could justifiably suppress and purge the family members in Yanzhou.
In fact, Zhao Yu also knew that Cao Mengde himself was a member of the family. However, he aims to be the king of people, so he is distinguished from the family. The imperial power is inherently solipsistic, rejecting all existences that can pose a threat to the imperial power, and the family is among them.
Therefore, if the harm to him from the family can be eliminated, Cao Mengde will definitely not be afraid to carry out a major purge. But he needed a reason.
Otherwise, you will see the sin of all the families in the world.
How powerful is the current strength of the family? If he offends the family in the world, Cao Mengde will not be able to move an inch. After all, he is still weak. Unless Zhao Yu makes a move, he will kill the family. But this can't be. If the family is killed, the inheritance of knowledge will be cut off. In Zhao Yu's view, the family cannot be erased until the knowledge inheritance of the common people is completed.
Officials and generals are mostly from families, regardless of high or poor families. Without these people, Cao Mengde would be alone. No matter how powerful Zhao Yu is, he is helpless. Can one or two people sustain humanity? No.
Zhao Yu believes that what Cao Mengde needs is a Yanzhou that can paint at will without hindrance. So waiting for Lu Bu to invade, waiting for the family to rebel, waiting for Cao Mengde to give a reason to purge Yanzhou, so as to vacate a place and lay a foundation that rarely depends on the family.
With this foundation, it is like a spark that can start a prairie fire.
The importance of the foundation is vividly reflected here.
You can use the family, but you don't have to, that's right.
Even Zhao Yu felt that after going back this time, he would secretly be a promoter, secretly encouraging the family to make more exposed. I want Cao Mengde to have a firm reason to purge more families after their rebellion.
Thinking about this, Zhao Yu embellished the tail of Lu Bu's army, left Nanyang, and entered Yuzhou.
Lu Bu was driven out of Guanzhong by Li Dao and others, and crossed Wuguan into Nanyang, which was the dog that lost his family. According to the trend of history, he will go to Runan and temporarily lean his head under Yuan Shu. But Yuan Shu was afraid of his ambitions, and then he would find a way to go north and join Yuan Shao's men. But he couldn't be tolerated by Yuan Shao, and was almost killed by Yuan Shao, so he fled to Hanoi and mixed with Zhang Yang. In the end, under the planning of Chen Gong and others, they marched into Yanzhou.
That would probably be the year after then.
Speaking of which, Lu Bu fled north and south, and he was not a few points worse than Liu Bei.
