Diao Chan moaned so sadly that Lu Bu felt a little guilty, so he held her in his arms, and the two of them sat in the car, trying to comfort her with nice words. Diao Chan kept moaning, and Lu Bu listened for a long time, feeling a little bored.

, casually opened the car curtain, imitated Gan Ning's accent, and shouted to him: "Son of turtle! Where is Qilin?"

Gan Ning said: "I don't know, it's still dripping in the morning. Hey! Turtle sons! Get ready to break camp, your father is here!"

Gan Ning ordered all the troops to break camp and march out. The cows neighed and the horses barked. The area in front of Hangu Pass was in chaos, like locusts crossing the border. When the haystacks were being collected at the end, a man fell out of it. He was in a daze, and he was Lu Bu's chief military advisor.

.

"The lord is here?!" Qilin got on the red rabbit horse.

Zhang Liao whistled and said with a distant smile: "My lord is looking for you, so all the people should follow behind the group!"

In the distance, Lu Bu's pheasant swayed its tail crest, which was very conspicuous. It looked around from time to time, obviously looking for him.

"Come back and pull me——" Qilin smiled, and Chitu Ma spontaneously caught up with Lu Bu.

"Hmm." Lu Bu glanced at Qilin and asked, "Is the matter done?"

Lu Bu walked calmly and slowly beside the army, shoulder to shoulder with Qilin.

The carriages and horses moved forward slowly, 40,000 Bingzhou troops, and 20,000 homeless people were silent. The drizzle intertwined in the air, turning into boundless silver needles, guiding their future destinations.

Lu Bu and Qilin each rode a horse and advanced side by side without saying a word.

Qilin said: "Red Rabbit will pay you back."

Lu Bu said: "No, you can just ride."

A brief silence.

Lu Bu suddenly said: "You choose first."

Qilin: "?"

After a while, Qilin realized that Lu Bu meant to let him pick out the spoils first, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Who cares about those things..."

Lu Bu: "Liu Bei didn't make things difficult for you?"

Qilin lazily replied: "Why did he give me a hard time? Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu don't even know where he is, so he only has a few kilograms and a few taels... By the way, I also captured Cao Cao's counselor named Jia Xu for you, which will come later.

It’s closed.”

Lu Bu nodded: "Oh."

Lu Bu rode his horse very close to Qilin, and after a moment he stretched out his hand. Qilin caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and he also stretched out his hand, letting Lu Bu's broad hand grasp it.

"Don't you think it's cold? Thank you for your hard work. You were soaked in the rain all the way back." Lu Bu said with rare concern.

Qilin: "Not bad."

Lu Bu: "Why don't you have anything to say?"

Qilin said softly: "I just woke up, half asleep in the haystack..."

Lu Bu and Qilin held hands, and the two horses swayed between each other. After walking for nearly a hundred steps without anyone speaking, Lu Bu suddenly tightened his palms and, using the strength of Qilin's grip, he jumped across the saddle and landed firmly behind Qilin.

, the two of them rode a red rabbit horse together.

Qilin was in front, and Lu Bu was behind. He put his strong arms around Qilin's waist, took the reins and shook the horse, and the red rabbit horse galloped towards the front of the team.

"You can sleep a little longer." Lu Bu said indifferently.

There was a drizzle between the sky and the earth, and the water vapor was fresh. Qilin watched it for a while, then simply leaned back a little, rested his pillow on Lu Bu's collarbone, and fell asleep in a daze.

The sound of water gradually subsided, the rainy season passed, the clouds in the sky west of Hangu Pass dissipated, and the evening sun shone overwhelmingly.

Lu Bu smiled and said: "The sun is shining."

He raised his hand and touched the head of Qilin in his arms. Qilin opened his eyes and let him hold him, watching quietly.

The scenery is extremely magnificent, with fire-like red clouds slowly dissipating under the gentle breeze, and a golden sunset on the horizon. There are two stone monuments, separated on the left and right, and the end of the official road leads to Liangzhou.

"What is your wish in this life?" Qilin raised his head slightly, glanced at Lu Bu, and rubbed his chin with his nose.

Lu Bu's handsome side face was stained with the afterglow of the setting sun.

"When I was a child, I protected my mother from being bullied." Lu Bu said: "When I grow up, I help my father and fellow villagers eat well and not go hungry."

Qilin said: "Are they still in Jiuyuan?"

Lu Bu said leisurely: "No, they are all here. In the army, there are 20,000 people directly affiliated with the Bingzhou Army. Many of them are fellow countrymen who followed me from Jiuyuan and defected to Governor Ding."

Qilin said: "What about other than that?"

Lu Bu said indifferently: "Let them eat well, drink well, have money, and have women. They will receive military pay every month, and they will be sent back to their hometowns to provide for their parents, wives, and children."

Qilin laughed: "When we are safe, we can take them over."

Lu Bu said: "That's exactly what I think."

"There are still many people in this world who are homeless and precarious." Qilin said interestingly: "Don't you want to be the emperor?"

Lu Bu disagreed and said: "What does it have to do with me? If you are poor, you can only take care of yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world. If you don't have enough to eat, how can you take care of the people of the world?"

"You still know this..." Qilin smiled and adjusted his posture. Lu Bu thought he was afraid of the cold, so he pulled the cloak behind his back, covered him, and let him curl up in his arms.

Lu Bu said indifferently: "Can I really be the emperor? How can I become the emperor?"

Qilin said: "Yes, as for how to act, you will gradually learn to do it. Zhao Kuangyin also wears a yellow robe, so he is very good at it."

Lu Bu: "Who is Zhao Zhijia?"

Qilin: "..."

Lu Bu said: "It's good to be the emperor, but it's too unconventional. If we can bring them to Luoyang to live in the future, and make them all high officials, there will be endless money to spend. That would be great."

Qilin said leisurely: "I will help you."

Lu Bu was silent for a long time and then said: "Okay, we agreed, I will listen to you from now on."

Dear Grand Master:

On the day we left Hangu Pass, the rain stopped, and Fengxian and I entered Xiliang.

Lu Bu told me that the golden beads will be mine from now on. From now on, I can just call him Fengxian instead of "Lord". That night he got drunk and in front of Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others, he drunkenly told them: "Qilin." He said, "I am the emperor's order, and I can be the emperor in the future."

When everyone was confused, he added: "When you become emperor, you will all be the founding heroes of the country, so work hard."

Then, Fengxian gave them rewards one by one, promising each person how much money, how much land, and how many women.

When it was my turn, Fengxian didn't say anything, he just looked at me quietly, his eyes were very complicated.

But I understand, he wants to say, "This is actually our world."

At that moment, I understood the feelings of Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Xun. I understood why they would devote their lives to their lord, devote themselves to their lord, and think about him all the time.

The unwavering love for one's master was inconceivable to me half a year ago. People are so strange. He didn't say a word, but I felt a strong desire to give.

From that day on, I decided not to give up on him. Regardless of whether he still believes in me as he does now, and regardless of how much resistance he encountered during his campaign in the Central Plains, I will do my best to make him live happily. .

Please bless me, Taishifu. To win the five major battles of the Three Kingdoms era with this bad hand, as well as countless small battles that emerge one after another, you need a lot of luck.

I decided to set up a stronghold in Longxi first, and then continue to penetrate deeper into Hanyang, Jincheng, Wuwei and other places. To the north is Ma Teng's territory, and further north is Han Sui's territory. These two families seem to be inseparable, but it remains to be seen.

To the west is the Qiang king Cheliji. It is said that his IQ is not much higher than Fengxian, but Ma Teng's sister-in-law is a Qiang girl. I guess there may be subtle diplomatic connections.

The current primary strategy is to make distant friends and attack at close range, so Cheriji will leave it alone first, and his uncle and nephew Ma Teng, who may be married to Cheriji, will not be alarmed for the time being. In the spring of next year, they will find a way to deal with Han Sui first, and spend some jewelry, gold, and Han silk , went to stabilize King Qiang.

Of course, it may still be a bit difficult to implement in practice, but I think this is a good start.

Marching from Xiliang to Yizhou, then passing through Jingzhou, Hanzhong slowly annexed the Central Plains. This may be a relatively unconventional attempt, but at least it can avoid the unnecessary consumption in the early three-part world stage.

Guerrilla warfare, warfare of annihilation, taking advantage of the situation, and plain battles, I think this is more in line with Fengxian's habit of leading troops.

If the estimate is correct, Cao Cao is about to usher in his first resistance against the emperor to control the power of the princes. At the same time, many scholar-bureaucrats will angrily leave Yecheng, Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.

I sent Bingzhou Army spies to various major cities to plant messages.

At the same time, Jia Xu was asked to go to Youzhou to spread the news and prepare to bring the scholars who were dissatisfied with Yuan Shao to Liangzhou. After all, Lu Bu's political team was still too weak.

We are currently settling in Longxi. Our new home is very bad. You can never imagine what kind of barren land it is.

In the wind and sand of late summer and early autumn, the dilapidated flat-roofed mud houses have only one fenced pig pen and stable. The children wear nothing and run around naked. The people live in poverty and use wooden boards on the windows to block the wind and sand.

Fortunately we have enough food and people.

Chen Gong suggested that the entire city wall should be demolished and rebuilt, while Fengxian insisted on building houses first to accommodate the residents of the city and the refugees we brought.

Zhang Liao is leading people to dig ditches, Brother Gao is building houses, Gan Ning is training troops, Feng Xian is memorizing Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Diao Chan is playing with autism. Everything is good here, but there is relatively little water.

Grand Master, Master, Uncle Haoran, and Brother Zixin, you are welcome to come for inspection and guidance at any time. The oil tea, milk wine, and barbecue are all delicious! I went to pick out the things Lu Bu grabbed for me from Shouchun! I look forward to your reply!

I am in a good mood and will always love you: Xiaohei.

Qilin took the supply list and only glanced at it before his eyesight turned black.

"Go...go and call the lord here..." Qilin gasped while holding on to the wall.

Lu Bu was wearing a pheasant tail crown, riding a small calf, with long legs dragging on the ground, half walking and half riding, and besides, the ground was coming.

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu asked.

"Lu Fengxian!" Qilin was furious.
To be continued...
