"Dong Zhuo is indeed generous, but he is a little too cautious!"

On the way, Lu Bu thought to himself.

In this battle, Bingzhou achieved an unprecedented victory, and the imperial court had to express its wishes.

As early as when he was in Hedong, Dong Zhuo sent someone to send the emperor's reward edict.

Cavalry General, Jiajie North, Champion Marquis, Ten Thousand Households, Fiefdom Nine Plains.

Therefore, Lu Bu is no longer General Zuo or Marquis of Guannei.

But thousands of households and princes!

The highest level!

There is also the position of Cavalry General at the level of the Three Lords.

A proper Huo Qubing!

Such a reward is not unimportant.

However, along with the reward, there was another order.

Follow Lu Bu back to Wuyuan and continue to guard the north of the Han Dynasty!

There is no doubt that when Lu Bu captured Hedong, Dong Zhuo was afraid.

There was no way around it. In this battle, the strength and magnificence of Lu Bu's military appearance made Dong Zhuo look at him.

Especially the act of exterminating 150,000 Huns, even Dong Zhuo felt his heart pounding!

Even though he had nearly 300,000 Xiliang cavalry, he was still scared!

Hedong is in Sili, only a few hundred miles away from Luoyang.

Just imagine, there is such a fierce man with a strong army and generals not far away. How can Dong Zhuo not be afraid?

That's right, in Dong Zhuo's eyes, Lu Bu is now a "vicious man"!

The fierce man with fierce flames!

Therefore, the emperor's edict he had people bring, in addition to the reward, asked Lu Bu to return to Wuyuan instead of staying in Hedong County next to Luoyang.

Lu Bu understood this.

But disdain!

…

With eight thousand fine cavalry, Lu Bu headed north.

There were 150,000 troops in Bingzhou, 30,000 were left in Hedong, and were given to Zhang Liao and other generals to command, and 50,000 were stationed in Taiyuan, commanded by Gao Shun.

Another 20,000 were taken away by Wen Chou and Hao Meng and rushed to Yanmen and Dingxiang to wipe out the local rebellious Hu tribes.

So, there are only 50,000 left.

Of these 50,000 people, 12,000 are in Wuyuan's hometown, and the other 30,000 are distributed in Shuofang, Shangdang, Shangjun, Xihe and other places to suppress various places.

After all, the merging of states has been initially decided, and it will not work without troops stationed in those counties.

Therefore, these 8,000 people were the only ones left around Lu Bu.

Of course, the scattered county soldiers were soldiers and horses from other counties, and the core army, the Wuyuan Jingqi, was commanded by the generals under Lu Bu.

Zhang Liao had 10,000 troops, and Gaoshun in Taiyuan had 23,000 troops, 20,000 fine cavalry and 3,000 "cavalry camps".

That's right, "falling into camp" became "falling into camp".

Taiyuan County has been in chaos since Xiu massacred the barbarians and killed Zhang Yi, the former governor of Bingzhou.

Various forces such as the Hu people and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are entangled and require a large army to suppress them.

In addition, Taiyuan borders Jizhou and Youzhou to the east. If troops are sent to these two states in the future, they will also be key forward positions.

Because of this, Lu Bu placed Gao Shun and his heavy troops in Taiyuan.

In addition, Wen Chou and Hao Meng each received five thousand, and the last twenty thousand were stationed in Wuyuan.

Not mentioning this.

Since the team was all cavalry, they traveled quickly and traveled thousands of miles. In less than ten days, Lu Bu returned to Wuyuan.

But it’s still a new year.

Today, it is already the first year of Chuping, that is, 190 AD.

January.

At the beginning of the month, Lu Bu returned to Jiuyuan.

On the way home, Lu Bu's thoughts were wandering.

"After the battle against Dong is over, we will immediately send troops to capture Youzhou and Jizhou within half a year!"

"Forgive me that Liu Yu and Han Fu can't stop me from Bingzhou's army. With the current relaxed state of the two states, they can just attack at the drop of a hat!"

At that time, Yuan Shao was just the governor of Bohai, the governor of Jizhou was Han Fu, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu of Youzhou were all in disarray.

In front of Lu Bu, he was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"After capturing Youzhou and Jizhou, we will take advantage of the situation to capture Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou!"

"Now in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are raging, and the government is completely powerless. Taking it is like picking something out of a bag!"

"Xuzhou, with an old man like Tao Qian and incompetent people under his command, how can he be my opponent?"

"After we capture Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, will Yuzhou still be able to escape?"

"How can that bastard Yuan Shu compete with this general?"

"After capturing Yuzhou, the land of Sili was surrounded by me. At that time, Dong Zhuo was almost corrupted by power!"

"Until then...!"

"hey-hey!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Lu Bu couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.

Awake to hold the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman!

This is Lu Bu's current goal.

But it doesn’t seem difficult?

The world is at your fingertips, and there are more and more beauties.

If you get this in life, what else do you want?

"Why are you laughing, my lord?"

At this moment, Cao Xing, who was beside him, poked his head over and asked strangely.

"I laugh at Zhuge..., eh!"

Fortunately, Lu Bu reacted quickly and stopped what he was about to say. He glanced sideways at Cao Xing and said angrily:

"I'm going home. Just smile when you're happy. Do you have anything to ask?"

"Um, yes, too...!"

Seeing Lu Bu's unkind expression, Cao Xing smiled and said awkwardly.

…

'Bang'

The door closed, blocking Lu Bu out.

Looking at the seamless door, Lu Bu touched his nose and shouted into the room:

"Miss Cai Yan, Lu Bu didn't mean to offend you. What happened just now was just a misunderstanding!"

"Your Majesty, please go ahead. Unless there is a handwriting written by my father, I forgive you for not being able to obey!"

"Even if there is a handwriting written by my father, it can only be done after the wedding!"

The sounds coming from inside the room gradually weakened, and the last few words were barely audible.

If it weren't for the great master's powerful ear, Lu Bu would have almost been unable to hear!

"well!"

Sighing, Lu Bu had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After returning to Jiuyuan, his thoughts were focused on Cai Yan.

As for what you are thinking.

Well, Ming people don’t say secret words, um, but it’s hard to say them out loud either.

In short, I understand everything!
