Chapter 406: Send horses and recruit talents
After a long time, Lu Bu said: "Your Majesty, these words are too strong!" His tone could not be more ordinary. With these words and this tone, Li Su thought in his heart: "There is a way!"
"Let's talk about things, isn't this a fact!?" Li Su said.
Lu Bu was speechless. He sighed softly in his heart, raised his glass, and drank three more glasses of wine. After drinking, Lu Bu looked at the door of the wine shop with a melancholy expression, watching the endless flow of people.
Li Su saw the opportunity, picked up the wine jar, poured himself a glass of wine, and then said: "Wan Sheng was impatient for a moment, so his words were a little harsh just now, but his words came from the bottom of his heart. If there is any disrespect and offense, I will punish you with this cup."
." Then he drank it all in one gulp. Li Su's words contained both hardness and softness, truly capturing the essence of a lobbyist.
"Your Excellency followed Lu to the horse market and invited Lu to drink, just to say these heartfelt words?" Although Lu Bu is brave and foolhardy, Lu Bu is not stupid, but very smart. Except for Guo Jing, Lu Bu is
, no stupid person will become a master.
"No!" Li Su said resolutely: "Wan Sheng's purpose this time is to send horses for the general."
"Send a horse?" Lu Bu was very puzzled and confused.
"That's right." Li Su said, "And it's a rare horse with a thousand miles of horse, but I don't know if the general will appreciate it and be willing to accept it."
Lu Bu asked in confusion: "Why do you want to give me a horse?"
Li Su's face straightened and he said: "The general has unparalleled courage. This horse is a peerless steed. Only the general can drive it, and only it is worthy of riding for the general!" As soon as he said this, he could hear it.
Lu Bu felt yearning for a while, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Lu Bu then followed Li Su to an open space on the eastern outskirts, where a divine flaming red horse stood in the center. Next to him stood thirteen mighty Xiliang soldiers, guarding the flaming red horse.
Seeing Li Su from a distance, two men who looked like a junior high school student hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Li Su waved his hand and asked the two of them to stand aside, and then said to Lu Bu: "This horse can travel thousands of miles in a day. It is not frightened when it encounters fire. It roars in the wind and chases the moon. It is as fast as lightning. It crosses streams and ridges as if it is walking on flat ground. It can be used for many things."
A good horse with good legs and good feet that is rare to see in a century.”
When Lu Bu saw this horse, its hair looked like it was stained with blood. There was not a single hair on it. It was one foot long from head to tail, eight feet high from hoof to neck.
Soaring into the sea.
Later generations wrote a poem to praise this horse, saying: "It gallops thousands of miles like dust, crosses water and climbs mountains, and the purple mist opens. Break the silk rein and shake the jade bridle, and the fire dragon flies down to the nine heavens."
Li Su looked at Lu Bu's excited expression and the way he couldn't put it down, and said: "General..."
Before Li Su could speak, Lu Bu suddenly interrupted: "Is this the world-famous red rabbit horse?"
"Not bad." Li Su said.
Lu Bu added: "I heard that this is Master Dong's most beloved mount."
"Not bad." Li Su nodded.
"I also heard rumors that Mr. Dong had a concubine who made a mistake while drunk and asked Mr. Dong to choose between her and this horse. As a result, Mr. Dong did not say a word, drew his sword, and killed his beloved on the spot.
Ji was chopped up." Lu Bu said.
Li Su said calmly: "It's not a rumor, it's a fact that I witnessed with my own eyes." After hearing this, Lu Bu was so excited that he couldn't describe it in words. Li Su struck while the iron was hot and continued: "The general just heard it.
Now that the famous horse is here, General, you want to try this red rabbit horse. Is it really as magical as the rumors say?"
"You should give it a try," Lu Bu said happily.
Lu Bu touched the mane on the neck of the red rabbit horse, then got on the horse and galloped from the horse. The red rabbit horse ran like lightning, and it could reach a height of four or five meters in one leap. It was really amazing, but Lu Bu was extremely powerful.
The strength was circulating throughout the body, and Lu Bu had no choice but to let Lu Bu ride on the red rabbit horse. Lu Bu touched the red rabbit horse's temple hair again, which means you are mine!
Lu Bu rode the horse in a circle, full of joy. After turning over and dismounting, he praised: "Great! Great! It is indeed a rare and famous horse in the world!"
"Since the general likes it so much, from now on, this red rabbit horse chasing the wind belongs to the general, and will always be driven by the general!" Li Su said.
It was said there that Lu Bu was brave and foolhardy, but he was not stupid. Even though he was filled with joy, his mind was still spinning, his facial expression changed from happy to dull, and then he said: "Such a famous horse, and Dong
Your Majesty’s favorite horse, Lv doesn’t dare to accept the salary without merit.”
"The general's words are wrong!" Li Su stroked the red rabbit horse's bones and said: "Master Dong treats virtuous corporals and is thirsty for talents. Although Zhuifeng Red Rabbit is a famous horse of his generation, how can he compare with the general's unparalleled valor?
Hero!" Li Su's sentence was a pun, expressing two meanings.
Lu Bu said in disbelief: "But I was so rude to Mr. Dong on the riding and shooting range, and my language was disrespectful, so how could I..."
Li Su intercepted and said: "Master Dong is as big as the sea and tolerates nothing. How can he care about mere verbal disputes? The gift of the mount is to express his respect for the general and to pity him from now on."
You no longer have to suffer from the burden of being a slave, you can display your power and dominate the world! How can the general bear to live up to such a sincere and good intention?"
"So, Mr. Dong is not what most people say." Lu Bu said.
"As the saying goes: if fame spreads all over the world, slander will follow." Li Su said: "If the general has many contacts with Mr. Dong, I'm afraid he will be aggrieved by him! In Wansheng's opinion, the general might as well accept this red rabbit horse.
Mr. Dong must be very happy and deeply congratulate that the famous horse has returned to the hero and made a good story!"
Lu Bu paced back and forth several times, feeling unbearable, and finally made up his mind and said: "In this case, Lu is really disrespectful and deserves it, but I don't know how to express my gratitude."
"Why do you have such a vulgar view among the great generals? Doesn't it undermine Mr. Dong's ability to recognize people and cherish talents?" Li Su said with righteousness.
"So it seems that Lu made a mistake." Lu Bu said.
"It's easy to say." Li Su smiled and said: "The general is straightforward and heroic, as everyone knows. Mr. Dong's wish has been fulfilled in Wan Sheng." Then he handed the reins of the red rabbit horse into Lu Bu's hands, and then said: "
Please ask the general to ride this horse back to the house so that it can be raised well... General..." Seeing that Lu Bu was still a little hesitant, Li Su finally called out "General" again.
"Forget it, the kindness of gifting the horse and the kindness of understanding the encounter will be remembered forever by Lu." Lu Bu said.
Li Su nodded and said: "General, Wansheng must take care of Chen, but there is something that Wansheng must remind the general first..."
Hearing this, Lu Bu looked obviously shocked and said, "Please tell me."
"Ding Yuan, Master Ding, has a deep misunderstanding of Mr. Dong. I am afraid that he will not be able to understand Dong Gong's love for horses. If the general is asked to return the horse, it will further show Dong Gong's generosity and Mr. Ding's stinginess.
"General, you won't embarrass Dong Gong and make Wansheng unable to live in peace, right?" Li Su said.
Lu Bu immediately said: "Lv is not a person who is ignorant of justice, of course not."
"Then please invite me, General." Li Su bowed and saluted.
Lu Bu clasped his fists in front of his chest and said, "Farewell." Then he got on his horse and galloped out, while Li Su looked forward to him from afar, feeling proud beyond words.
