Gao Shun and others who were following Lu Bu didn't even have time to take action when they saw hundreds of barbarians in front of them turn into corpses on the ground one by one.
However, everyone was already accustomed to such a situation, and they did not show any surprise at all. You must know that they followed Lu Bu all the way across the grassland, and killed many grassland barbarians.
He even saw with his own eyes how Lu Bu's cultivation soared at an astonishing speed. It only took Lu Bu a few short years to go from Heavenly Master to Heavenly King.
A small tribe of more than a thousand people could not even hold on to a cup of tea. Under Lu Bu's attack, except for the cattle, sheep and horses, no one survived.
Lu Bu, who was filled with evil spirits, restrained his evil energy. Only then did Gao Shun and others dare to approach Lu Bu. Otherwise, most of them might not be able to withstand the evil energy alone.
After glancing around, Lu Bu looked unhappy and said, "It's really disappointing. These barbarians are getting more and more cunning. They go deep into the grassland for more than a hundred miles and can't find a big tribe."
Hearing Lu Bu's sigh, Gao Shun and others couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts. These barbarians are really unlucky. Ever since Lu Bu joined the army a few years ago, these barbarians on the grassland have been targeted by such a murderous star.
From the beginning, traces of the Hu people could be seen within more than ten miles of the county seat. Now, it is almost impossible to find traces of the Hu people for more than a hundred miles around the county seat. It can be seen that in the past few years, what Lu Bu has brought to these grassland Hu people
Such a psychological shadow.
This is because Lu Bu has amazing military power, but his temperament is too aloof, which offends the superior. Otherwise, based on Lu Bu's achievements over the years, I am afraid it is impossible for him to be just a commander of a small village, commanding more than a hundred troops, at least
The captain of a county, or even higher.
With a slight cough, Gao Shun said to Lu Bu: "Captain, should we continue to go deeper into the grassland or..."
Lu Bu's eyes widened, he glanced at Gao Shun and others and said, "How long have we been away from the county? Besides, we haven't encountered a few waves of barbarians yet. If we go back now, wouldn't it be another trip in vain?"
A few days later, a group of more than a hundred cavalrymen headed by Lu Bu roared back from the grassland, followed by hundreds of captured cattle, sheep, and horses.
Even though it was a deep border land, adjacent to the grassland, with many cattle, sheep and horses, it was still quite astonishing for Lu Bu to seize so many trophies at once.
Of course, people in Jiuyuan County have long been accustomed to such a situation. It can be said that this is almost the standard equipment for Lu Bu every time he returns from deep into the grassland. If there is no time when Lu Bu returns, he does not bring back so many trophies.
, I’m afraid it’s them who will show strange expressions.
He waved his hand, signaling Gao Shun and others to dispose of the loot, while Lu Bu went straight to his residence.
Lu Bu was newly married, and he married his wife Yan, which was a perfect time for you and me.
Seeing his house from a distance, Lu Bu felt relieved, and even the evil aura on his body seemed to have dissipated a lot. However, Lu Bu soon stopped in his steps, frowned, and showed a bit of evil aura in his eyes.
Captain Chen Yi and a man with a feminine aura and a pale face, without beard, were looking towards him.
Naturally, Lu Bu didn't have much favorable impressions of Captain Chen Yi. For someone like Chen Yi who was far inferior to him in terms of ability and cultivation, Lu Bu wouldn't take him seriously at all, if not for the fact that he was his superior.
, Lu Bu didn't even have the patience to deal with the other party.
However, at this moment, the other party appeared in front of his house. No matter how slow his reaction was, Lu Bu knew that the other party was afraid that he was looking for something.
Although he was very impatient with the other party, unless Lu Bu wanted to rebel, he really couldn't think of Chen Yi as a Shangguan. You must know that in the Han Dynasty, killing an official was equivalent to rebellion. Once it was characterized as
If you rebel against a thief, you will never be able to stand up for the rest of your life.
Forced to suppress his inner displeasure, Lu Bu strode over.
When Chen Yi, the captain of Jiuyuan County, saw Lu Bu, he naturally felt uneasy. To be honest, Chen Yi was both afraid and disliked Lu Bu. Ordinarily, Chen Yi should be very happy to have such a tyrannical subordinate.
That's right, but Lu Bu is such an arrogant person, it would be strange if there were no conflicts between the two.
But at this moment, Chen Yi looked at Lu Bu walking over and was filled with emotion. He did not expect that Lu Bu would fall into the eyes of a nobleman in the capital and want to recruit Lu Bu to the capital.
In the eyes of border officials like Chen Yi, Chu Yi and Jian Shuo, who were close servants of the emperor, were naturally high-ranking nobles. Naturally, they were extremely envious and even extremely envious of Lu Bu being valued by such noble people.
When Lu Bu approached, Chen Yi stepped forward and tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, come and see the angel."
Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Although he said he was aloof, he was not stupid. At least he knew that angels were messengers of the emperor. His eyes naturally fell on the white-faced, beardless man next to Chen Yi, with a feminine aura.
Gu Kang of Xiaohuangmen looked at Lu Bu with curiosity in his eyes. He followed Chu Yi's order and came all the way at high speed. He finally arrived in Jiuyuan County a few days ago. However, Lu Bu went deep into the grassland and did not return, so Gu Kang
Lu Bu was not found. Now when he saw Lu Bu, Gu Kang felt relieved. As long as he passed down his master's order, he would have completed his mission.
Nodding slightly at Lu Bu, Gu Kang said with a smile: "Huangmen Gu Kang, in accordance with His Majesty's decree, recruited Lu Bu from Jiuyuan to the capital and joined the Eighth School of Xiyuan. He was under the command of Captain Chu Yi and was granted the title of Chief of Music."
Seeing Lu Bu in a daze, Chen Yi cupped his hands and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, what are you doing standing still here? Why don't you quickly thank your majesty for your kindness and win the respect of Captain Chu? You are going to be very successful."
Finally coming back to his senses, Lu Bu glanced at Chen Yi and couldn't help but waved his hands with a bit of impatience: "Let me think about it carefully."
As he spoke, Lu Bu stared at Huangmen Gu Kang and said, "Do you think it is the Emperor or the Captain Chu who wants to recruit Lu to join the Eighth School of Xiyuan?"
Gu Kang did not expect that this was what Lu Bu was paying attention to. He pondered for a moment and explained: "Colonel Chu has received His Majesty's permission to recruit generals and soldiers from all counties and counties in the world to the capital by his name. Therefore, he can be said to be the emperor, or he can be said to be the emperor."
It means captain."
As he spoke, Gu Kang looked at Lu Bu and said, "I wonder when Lu Quzhang will leave for Beijing?"
A bright light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. To be honest, Lu Bu naturally yearned for the capital city. After all, it was the center of the world with countless dignitaries. There was an ambition in his heart that was ready to move, so he stayed in this barren border.
Lu Bu was unwilling to give up. Now the ladder to heaven is descending from the sky. As long as Lu Bu is not stupid, he will know how to choose.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu raised his hands to Gu Kang and said, "Let Lu Bu tidy up and we can hit the road tomorrow."
A smile suddenly broke out on Gu Kang's face, and he said to Lu Bu: "That's very good. Since that's the case, Gu will wait for Lu Qu to go on the road together."
Here Lu Bu is preparing to enter the capital, but groups of envoys sent by Chu Yi are rushing to every county in the world.
Nanyang County is the largest county in the world. It lives up to its reputation as an imperial town and can be described as prosperous.
Nanyang County City is extremely tall. Even among the many cities in the world, it is one of the tallest. The city is high and the river is deep. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Huang family is relatively well-known in Nanyang County. After all, Huang Zhong had a son at an old age, and his wife died young, leaving Huang Zhong an only son who was frail and sick at the same age. Huang Zhong was just a leader in the bandit army, and even if
If it was not necessary, he would rarely even go to the army. He spent almost all his time running around, seeking medical treatment for his only son.
On this day, Huang Zhong returned with his son, his face full of dusty look, which gave this middle-aged man in his thirties a sense of vicissitudes of life.
Once again I left with high hopes and came back disappointed. Although I have encountered this kind of thing more than once since I set out on the road to seek medical treatment. After being hit again and again, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would have given up long ago.
However, Huang Zhong never thought of giving up. While trying his best to find elixirs in the mountains and forests to suppress Huang Xu's illness, he also looked around for more than ten years to find famous doctors.
Walking to the door of his house, Huang Zhong couldn't help but pause. A young man who was following Huang Zhong, who looked thin, with a yellow complexion and kept coughing, subconsciously looked at Huang Zhong and said: "Father
, Could it be that there was a burglar in the house?"
It turns out that when Huang Xu saw the door of his house open and felt some smells in the yard, the first thing he thought of was whether his house had been robbed.
He raised his eyebrows, and before Huang Zhong could speak, he heard hearty laughter coming from the courtyard: "But has the wise brother Han Sheng returned?"
I saw a big man in official attire walking over and looking at Huang Zhong and his son with a smile on his face. When Huang Zhong saw the person coming, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Huang Zhong has seen Mr. Du Wei, but I don't know Mr. Du Wei."
Please forgive me for coming."
It turned out that this man was the captain of a county in Nanyang County, which could be regarded as the highest military official in a county. The captain of a county was responsible for the military affairs of a county, and he could be said to be Huang Zhong's immediate superior.
Wang Li frowned and laughed: "Han Sheng doesn't need to be formal, but Wang came here today to announce a big happy event."
Entering the courtyard, Huang Zhong greeted several people to sit down. Hearing this, he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise. For a long time, Huang Zhong had never paid much attention to the outside world. The only thing that made him pay attention was where there were famous doctors.
It could be seen that Wang Li knew quite a bit about Huang Zhong, so he introduced Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, come and see the angel in the capital."
Xiaohuangmen hurriedly said to Huang Zhong: "Huangmen Lu Ping has met Huang Quchang. Lu Ping was specially ordered by Chu Colonel to recruit Huang Quchang to the capital, and he also received a letter from Chu Colonel."
Huang Zhong looked puzzled. He had never heard of Captain Chu, and he paid little attention to matters in Beijing. Naturally, he didn't understand what was going on.
Wang Li saw Huang Zhong's reaction in his eyes and explained with a smile: "Han Sheng, you are highly regarded by the nobles. Now that you have entered the capital, you can rise to great heights from now on."
Huang Zhong did not have any extravagant aspirations for official position, power, wealth, etc. What he focused on was how to prevent his only son from suffering from illness and enjoy life like normal people of the same age.
Huang Zhong subconsciously wanted to refuse, because according to Wang Li's introduction, the person who recruited him to the capital was an eunuch. Although he had no prejudice against eunuchs, who made eunuchs not have such a good reputation?
, Huang Zhong still doesn’t want to mess with it.
Noticing Huang Zhong's expression, Lu Ping of the Huangmen hurriedly presented the bamboo slips written by Chu Yi and said: "This is written by the captain. Zeng said that he also asked Huang Quzhang to read this letter and make a decision."
Looking at the bamboo slips handed to him, Huang Zhong had to swallow his words of rejection. At Wang Li's signal, Huang Zhong took the bamboo slips and glanced at them casually. Suddenly Huang Zhong seemed like
As if he had been stimulated, his hand shook and he almost threw the bamboo slips in his hand. He grabbed Lu Ping, stared at Lu Ping and said tremblingly: "This... is what Captain Chu said in the letter true? He really has it?"
Is there any way to completely cure my son’s stubborn disease?”
Lu Ping really didn't know what was in the bamboo slips. At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into the hands of an extremely terrifying beast. The aura revealed at that moment made Lu Ping feel like he was going to die.
.
However, that terrifying aura came and went quickly, which clearly shows how advanced Huang Zhong's cultivation is and how powerful his control is.
Lu Ping, who felt as if he had walked away from the gate of hell, smiled bitterly at Huang Zhong and said: "The letter is written by Captain Chu. I really don't know the specific content, but Captain Chu once told me
, saying that if Huang Quzhang is willing to believe him, he will definitely live up to Huang Quzhang."
After the words fell, Huang Zhong's breath was strong, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Huang agreed, and he will enter the capital now."
As he spoke, Huang Zhong bowed his hands to Wang Li, who was standing aside, and said to Wang Li with some seriousness: "Huang Zhong would like to thank the Captain for his love and care over the years. Huang Zhong will never forget the love of the Captain when he leaves."
Wang Li laughed loudly when he heard this, and said to Huang Zhong: "Wang, I wish my brother Han Shengxian to go and get what he wishes for."
Jingshi Xiyuan No.8 School
Nearly a month has passed. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and others have already recruited soldiers from various schools. They are so fast that Cao Cao has been training soldiers and horses for more than half a month. But now, Chu Yi, Jian Shuo Er
A total of 7,000 men and horses have not yet been recruited, and they have almost become the laughing stock of many ministers in the court.
Even the emperor Liu Hong couldn't help but summoned Chu Yi and Jian Shuo and gave them an order to gather their troops within a month, otherwise they would be held accountable.
Of course, it is impossible to truly accuse him. After all, Liu Hong still hopes that Jian Shuo and Chu Yi will take control of the Eighth School of Xiyuan for him. Besides, why can't Jian Shuo and Chu Yi even recruit enough people? What's going on?
As the emperor, Liu Hong still knew who was adding fuel to the flames.
It’s just that everyone knows that Jian Shuo. Chu Yi is the representative he introduced, which almost represents the face of his emperor. The two of them have been unable to recruit enough people for a long time, and even he, the emperor, feels deeply embarrassed, with no trace of expression on his face.
Light.
After returning from the palace, Jian Shuo looked at Chu Yi with a wry smile and said: "Chu Yi, is it possible? Will the people you sent to recruit come? If it is really not possible, lower the threshold.
, even if we invite some people from the market, we have to gather the number of people first."
When Chu Yi heard this, he knew that Jian Shuo was in a hurry. After all, the emperor had issued strict orders, so it would be strange for Jian Shuo not to be in a hurry.
With a slight cough, Chu Yi said to Jian Shuo with confidence on his face: "Brother, just put your heart into your stomach. In a few days, you will know why I am not in a hurry."
While he was talking, he saw a messenger hurriedly came to Chu Yi and saluted: "Colonel, there is a small official outside the camp, claiming to be from the land east of the river, and he came here with a letter to ask to see the captain."
When Chu Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, a flash of light flashed in his eyes and said with a smile, "Here he comes!"
Jian Shuo had an indifferent look on his face. He was just a small official. What was there to look forward to? Seeing that Chu Yi actually went out to greet him in person, Jian Shuo couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that Chu Yi's calmness just now must have been an act.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to know that Chu Yi personally greeted a minor official who came to meet him. Isn't this because he was panicking, so what?
Jian Shuo, who thought he had seen through Chu Yi, was thinking about whether he should be prepared, but Chu Yi didn't know that his actions would cause Jian Shuo to have such a misunderstanding.
In fact, this little official from Hedong not only has amazing military power, but also has the ability to lead. He is definitely a rare talent. He personally went out to greet him so that he could win over the other party's heart.
Outside the camp gate, a figure dressed in the clothes of a small official stood upright, like a proud green pine, looking at the surrounding military camp with slightly squinted eyes.
