In the evening, the sunset dyed Xihai City red.
Lu Bu stood at the top of the city of Xihai and looked out at the desert and Gobi.
The yellow sand desert of the Western Regions, and then when the sunset shines, it suddenly looks like the world is like bright red. From time to time, wind whistling by, rolling up large pieces of dust, like the figures of thousands of troops lurking in the wind and sand.
The wind in the Western Regions is very interesting. It is not gust after wave, but gust after wave, as if there is a specific entity. Once a person is trapped in the strong wind, it is like being attacked by millions of gravels. The thin-skinned person will break the defense instantly.
Of course, the sandstorms on the Gobi Desert in the uninhabited area in later generations were even more terrifying. Some jeeps were even stuck in the middle of the road and encountered sandstorms. Although the cars and people were not blown away, the paint on the body of the car was polished by the sandstorm...
It is the kind that directly exposes the steel plate and can be directly painted.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the people who have been tempered in the Western Regions have a somewhat tough aura.
"There are a large number of horse thieves in the forward camp?" Lu Bu asked.
Wei Xu nodded.
The military information cannot be hidden. Lu Bu soon learned about the news reported by Chen Ada, but Lu Bu didn't care much. Because he was no longer young, he was so stubborn when he saw a beautiful woman, and his eyes turned green when he saw his military achievements. Lu Bu was somewhat uninterested in the word "horse thief", so he asked very calmly.
"What happened to Chen Ada?" Lu Bu frowned a little, "I heard of a horse thief a while ago, why are you so careless?"
Wei Xu nodded, "It is indeed as the lord said, Chen Ada was a little careless... However, there were not many people in the forward camp, and horse thieves were unable to guard against it. Sometimes neglecting it is inevitable." On the surface, it sounded like Wei Xu was pleading for Chen Ada to escape from his crime, but in fact he had already attributed all the responsibility to Chen Ada.
Lu Bu pondered for a while, "Well, what are you going to do? Do you want me to go there?"
Wei Xu raised his waist and said, "My lord, don't underestimate me. I don't take this mere horse thief seriously! Haha, even if my personal martial arts are not as good as my lord, but the lord's soldiers and horses are beside him, how could he be afraid of these horse thieves? Don't worry, I will definitely be able to go there this time! My lord doesn't have to worry!"
Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, it's just some horse thieves, you can go. But if there is anything wrong, you must report it in time and don't be greedy for merit and make progress... By the way, is there any movement in Kushan?"
Wei Xu hurriedly said: "I haven't received any news yet. The lord meant that this time it might be a Kushan trap? But neither the secret whistle nor the spy liner reported that the Kushan troops were dispatched..."
"Well, it's better if it's not Kushan..." Lu Bu nodded and smiled, "I hope Kushan can send a large army to fight hard! As long as you hit once, you can stabilize the Western Regions for ten years! Unfortunately, these Kushan people are like huddling in a mouse cave, refusing to come...tsk!"
Wei Xu hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord is wise! We have a lord..."
"Okay, okay, there's no need to say these words! Go and prepare, be careful!" Lu Bu waved his hand, "Be bold in the battle formation, but be careful! Go!"
Wei Xu took the order and left.
Lu Bu looked at it, as if he had thought for a while, then patroled again, chatted and joked with some soldiers and the military academy, then got off the city wall and walked home.
Not only did Lu Bu care a little bit, but in fact, many people in Xihai City didn't care about it either when they heard about horse thieves.
These horse thieves are like the wind and sand in the Western Regions. They know when they blow and then disappear again. It is so common to hear...
When Lu Bu returned to the inner courtyard, he met Xiaocao, and then learned that his little girl was a little cold. So he asked Xiaocao what he said about the doctor while walking towards Xiaocao's courtyard.
Children are naughty and sometimes they are more playful. After sweating, they encounter a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the Western Regions, especially in autumn and winter. Naturally, they have some colds, but it is not a big problem. They prescribe some prescriptions and drink some ginger soup. After sweating, they will be much better.
The little girl was very solid and didn't look like her mother at all. After a little bit of energy, she was whispering. When she saw Lu Bu coming, she ran over and hugged Lu Bu with a squirt. She called her daddy in a slight voice, and then made Lu Bu happy and exposed her eight big teeth.
"What have you been playing these two days? Have you ever encountered anything fun?" Lu Bu asked while holding the little girl.
"Yes! Storytelling! Little drum! Dongdong! Papa!" The little girl waved her arms. If Xiaocao hadn't said that she had a cold and a cold, she wouldn't have seen it at all just by looking at it.
Lu Bu sat down and let the little girl sit aside. Then he listened to the little girl's dance and said carefully to the little girl's complexion. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he laughed and said to Xiaocao: "Look, it's not that my girl, what are Fenghan afraid of? A small matter! But you can't go out these two days, you have to wait until Fenghan is completely cured before talking about it."
"Ah... no, no!" The little girl pierced into Lu Bu's arms and arched Lu Bu with her head, "I want to go out! Go out!"
"Ahaha, okay, okay, wait two days, wait two days, I'll take you out, okay, riding a big horse?" Lu Bu smiled, "Last time, didn't you say you want a Fangtian Huaji? That thing is heavy, and you are not suitable for you to take it. I'll find you a short gun another day, which is similar to the Fangtian Huaji, who is my father. How about it? Do you like it or not? Do you want it?"
"Yes! You want!" The girl jumped up and waved her hands, like she was holding a spear.
Xiaocao smiled helplessly, "Husband, give it to her, the family will be in trouble..."

Lu Bu waved his hand and asked the little girl to play by herself, and then said: "If you like it, try it first. Try it. Maybe she feels too tired to practice martial arts and will feel at ease to study."
"I hope so." Xiaocao sighed.
Xiaocao is now considered Lu Bu's wife, but she is Ru's wife.
The little girl was distracted and then went to play happily.
Xiaocao looked at it and showed some gentle smile on her face.
Lu Bu turned his head and looked at the grass, then smiled and said, "You should also have time to go out for a walk, ride a horse, etc. This place is very similar to Jiuyuan, with a very vast land, you can run whatever you want!"
Xiaocao nodded, but after a moment, she sighed softly.
『What's wrong?』 Lu Bu asked, 『What's wrong with you?"
The grass shook its head.
Lu Bu didn't believe it, and asked again, Xiaocao whispered: "Actually... nothing, I just think... although it looks like... but it's not... after all.
Lu Bu's smile slowly closed and then fell silent.
『Husband, ah, this…』 Xiaocao became a little cramped, 『Husband, this is not what I mean…』
Lu Bu also sighed, waved his hand and stood up, "I know this is not my hometown, I know, I know..."
Although Lu Bu's tone was not very heavy, Xiaocao felt that he was a very harsh scolding, and he suddenly felt a little crying and was at a loss.
When Lu Bu saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave Xiaocao a hug, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you, I miss my hometown too... But, I just can't go back now, can't go back, do you understand? We can wait for a while, and we will be able to go back in a few years..."
Xiaocao leaned against Lu Bu's arms and nodded.
Lu Bu touched Xiaocao's hair, then smiled, "Look, the girl is still young now, isn't it easy to walk on the road? Wasn't it just right when she gets older? Don't think too much."
After sitting for a while, Lu Bu came out of Xiaocao's yard, turned around the corridor, and walked towards the inner courtyard behind.
Mrs. Yan was waiting at the gate of the courtyard early on. When she saw Lu Bu, she smiled on her face: "Hello, husband."
Lu Bu nodded.
Several servants and maids stepped forward one after another, took off Lu Bu's robe, brought toiletries, and lined up one by one, step by step, and then lined up again.
"Oh, there are so many people every time..." Lu Bu twisted his neck, "Don't you think it's a bit noisy?"
"How come there are many of these people?" Mrs. Yan stepped forward and kneaded Lu Bu's shoulders and neck. "I heard that in the Central Plains, there are only 100 people serving us! There are only a few of us! I still think it's a little too few, and it doesn't fit your identity as a guru!"
"Major Protector! Hi!" Lu Bu shook his head and smiled, "What is Major Protector? I am just a warrior."
"How can my husband say that?" Mrs. Yan's hand increased some force, but she couldn't hurt Lu Bu, but instead made Lu Bu feel more comfortable. "In this Western Region, my husband is the heaven of the Western Regions!"
"Ah haha." Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's not like that... This is the Great Protector, just like the prefect of the first place, just like the Western Regions is bigger."
"Prefect?" asked Mrs. Yan, with a look of surprise on her face, "So small?"
"The prefect is still young?" Lu Bu was stunned.
Mrs. Yan was also stunned, "Ah, no, I mean, I mean... This, well, the prefect is just a place, the Western Regions are so big, so many countries..."
"So many countries are just the Western Regions." Lu Bu said with a smile.
『Then…』 Mrs. Yan blinked, 『So which one is bigger, Wen Hou or Dadushi?』
Lu Bu laughed, "This is different. After saying that, these two are false and the other is real, and it is not the same at all."
In fact, it is not very appropriate to say that "Wen Hou" is empty, but those who have only a title but no real power can easily have various problems, and sometimes "the county magistrate is worse than the current management." Lu Bu did not understand these things very well before, let alone Mrs. Yan, who was born in the North at that time, was not very knowledgeable. Both of them were not very knowledgeable, and they only slowly understood these things later.
Lu Bu's current situation is a bit complicated, and his official positions are quite chaotic. Dong Zhuo, the court, later Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's private promises, and now Fei Qian's feudals are different from each other.
Of course, for Lu Bu, the most powerful magistrate of the Western Regions was still Fei Qianfeng.
At the same time, Lu Bu's current workplace in the Western Regions is also somewhat complicated. There are Han people who were in the Western Regions before, some who later migrated, and even divided them into Fei Qian, Li Ru, Lu Bu's, as well as Longyou Gang, Guanzhong Sect, etc.
Lu Bu led everyone around to attack, and his army was very powerful, so it seemed to be a situation of harmony with each other at the moment. However, after Lu Bu stopped, the people following behind seemed to be unable to find any target at once, plus Wei Xu...
Of course, Wei Xu has always said that he was solving the trouble for Lu Bu, but in fact Wei Xu caused trouble himself, but the problem was that Wei Xu himself did not understand at all.
Obviously, Wei Xu did not have the force of Lu Bu at all, so in the Western Regions, a relatively more respectful area of ​​force, Wei Xu's reputation was not as loud as Lu Bu. In order to make more people listen to his orders, Wei Xu did not have the force of Lu Bu, so of course he would do it in a completely different way than Lu Bu.
If there was a smart and powerful internal affairs figure like Li Ru in the Western Regions to manage it, then it would be fine. Even if Wei Xu jumped, he would not have any storms at all, but Li Ru's body could not hold on and died.
Lu Bu was moving forward on the battlefield and had the tendency of a general. However, after he walked off the battlefield, he exposed his shortages. Just like his conversation and communication with Mrs. Yan, he was not very clear about the size of his official position and related issues. This is the case with the so-called family background, but whether it is Lu Bu, Mrs. Yan, or the "family" composed of two people, they are relatively simple and cannot be said to be very powerful.
If Lu Bu could calm down and follow the strategy left by Li Ru, and do it step by step, he would not have been able to achieve a merit that could be passed down through the world with his reputation in the Western Regions in the early stage.
At present, there seems to be no plan for the conflicts in the Western Regions. It’s just that Lu Bu has not shown his weak side. Many people in the Western Regions still think that Lu Bu is a terrifying beast and dare not compete with it...
Not only did Lu Bu not notice these imminent problems, he even thought about other things, such as he thought that it was good to go back to his hometown as Xiaocao said, but it was a good thing to return home in glory.
『I heard...』 Lu Bu closed his eyes and enjoyed Mrs. Yan's massage.『Jiuyuan has recovered well now... Some descendants of Wang and Li came from the northern desert. They were building cities and restoring farmlands, which were very lively...』
Mrs. Yan listened, then stopped the movements in her hand and turned to Lu Bu, "Have you heard what that bitch said again?"
"Ah?" Lu Bu opened his eyes and avoided Mrs. Yan's eyes, "How is it possible, I... have been away from my hometown for too long, and I just miss it. This homesickness is human ethics. Why, don't you want your hometown?"
"I don't want to." Mrs. Yan said firmly, "What's the point of thinking about that broken place? No matter how much I think about it, I'll be like that. I said, husband, if you return to your hometown, what would you do?"
"What to do?" Lu Bu pondered for a moment, "I remember...well, be a rich man? Buy some land and then buy some cattle and sheep..."
"Then sheep herds and cattle every day? Well? You are a great gubernator, the world-famous Marquis Wen, just to go home to grazle cattle and sheep?" Mrs. Yan was so angry that she was angry. "Husband, why... Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children. You let your children follow you to grazle cattle and sheep? Then why are you doing life and death several times over the years? Why are you better in the north from the beginning, and then you are still grazing cattle and sheep? What's the difference?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment. When he first walked out of the northern land and defected to Ding Yuan, he was not only thinking about how much he could make meritorious service and reward, and then went home to buy some cattle and sheep.
"Well..." Lu Bu pondered, not knowing what to say for a moment, his face slightly lowered.
Mrs. Yan is an ordinary woman. She is jealous of Xiaocao being favored by Lu Bu, and she will scold her sluts. But if she really wants to harm Xiaocao, Mrs. Yan can't do this, just to be happy. On the other hand, she loves Lu Bu, takes care of Lu Bu, and arranges various food, clothing, etc. for Lu Bu, and is busy with all kinds of things in the inner house. But in the same way, she does not have a long-term vision, loves vanity, and takes Lu Bu as a pride in the guild. Of course, what is more important is that she is the wife of the guild.
Mrs. Yan hoped that Lu Bu was a majestic figure, not a shepherd in the northern part of the desert. Even if Lu Bu had a second grass and a third grass, she could accept it, as long as she was still Mrs. Yan. So when she saw Lu Bu's words seemed a little unhappy, she quickly changed the topic, "Husband, don't talk about these unhappy things... By the way, didn't you say "merit" before? I heard that July 15th is the festival, and then worshiping ancestors and performing rituals for wandering ghosts, the most important thing is to accumulate "merit"! Husband, we will also do such a ritual. What do you think?
"Oh? And this kind of outrage?" Lu Bu was also interested. He has been thinking about the issue of merit recently. Now he heard that holding such a ritual can accumulate merit, so he naturally felt that it was very good. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, of course! But it's only a few days before July 15th, is it too late?"
"I've been preparing for a long time! It's too late!" Mrs. Yan smiled, "Besides, isn't Xiaocao still helping me?" Mrs. Yan talked about Xiaocao just for Lu Bu's sake. Of course, this kind of external affairs was the best time for Mrs. Yan to promote sovereignty. After all, although Mrs. Yan also enjoyed the same treatment as her wife, she was like a vice president and was always a deputy.
Lu Bu was not very clear about the relationship, or even if he knew it, he didn't think much about it. He just felt that he could use this sacrifice to feel what the so-called "merit" was?
Since we are going to worship our ancestors and to soothe the lonely ghosts, the greater the Dharma Assembly, the more we do, isn’t this “merit” coming more violently? Isn’t it possible for you to feel the changes in it?
"Then do it! Big do it!" Lu Bu made a decision, "On July 15th, the big plan will be celebrated!"
