The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 164

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

In the north of the Han territory, a heavy snowfall has fallen all over the sky. It has been a full seven days so far.

On the vast wilderness, there is a vast expanse of whiteness, like a brand new world of ice and snow wrapped in plain.

The snow fell suddenly, without warning.

There are rumors in the army that in order to protect the big man, the gods specially sent Ruixue to prevent the Xianbei people from going south.

People at that time, from the royal family to the common people, all believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.

As a result, the soldiers in the army somewhat thought about it, since God is helping them, why should they be discouraged.

As a result, the soldiers regained their confidence and prepared to fight the Xianbei bandits again.

On the Yinshan Mountains across the northern border, the road is rugged, there are more than a dozen figures are facing the wind and snow, striding forward with difficulty, leaving a series of half-foot-deep footprints buried in the white snow.

"Sir, slow down, come on, I'll pull you..." At the entrance of a ladder, Lu Bu stretched out his palm to the playmaker behind him.

Cao Xing, who fell behind, caught a glimpse of this scene, grabbed a handful of ice and snow, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed hard a few times, and then spit it out in one mouthful, grunting in dissatisfaction: "We are doing terrain surveying." He is a weak scholar, so he messed around with it, and see how long he has been walking before he gets there."

"Cao Xing, sir has his reasons for wanting to come, but you have never been able to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Wei Musheng took a rest with the wooden stick in his hand, and laughed and joked.

The road up the mountain was already difficult, but this time it snowed heavily, making it even more dangerous.

"Gao Shun, what do you think we have a chance of winning this battle?" Xi Ce used his strength to climb up the ladder, panting slightly, and asked the solemn man beside him.

"Not one percent."

Gao Shun, who climbed up, gave the answer without thinking too much.

Although the heavy snow came in time and successfully prevented the Xianbei people from going south, it was only for a while after all.After the blizzard, they will still have a final battle with the Xianbei people.

At the same time, the harsh weather brought by the blizzard not only caused the Xianbei people to complain, but also the soldiers of the Han army.

The soldiers almost ate the cold wheat cakes while swallowing the snow to satisfy their hunger.

In such a harsh environment, the fight is all about endurance, and the competition is who is more tenacious and can hold on to the hard breath in his chest.

While sitting and resting, Gao Shun frowned deeply, seeming to think: "If only I could find a way to cut off the food and grass of the Xianbei people, that would be great."

The army under Budugen's command is more than [-], and the daily consumption is huge.Once the food is cut off, I believe that it will not last for a few days, and it will retreat without a fight.

Wrapping the padded jacket around his body tightly, Xie Ce stood up, his hands and fingers swollen like tiny radishes.

Picking up the pestle that Lu Bu had made for him, he moved forward slowly, even if there was only a little hope for this trip, he still had to give it a try.

…………

It was already night when we went down the mountain and returned to Wubao.

Hou Cheng, who stayed behind in Chengyi, saw Lu Bu's return, walked forward quickly, and said in a low voice, "General, the imperial court has sent someone down to announce the decree, and they are waiting for the general in the lobby of Wubao."

Lu Bu said "Understood", took off his cloak and handed it to Chen Wei, and went to the hall where the envoy was alone.

Seeing Lv Bu come in, the servant of Huangmen who was in charge of announcing the edict put down the green fruit in his hand, got up and cleared his throat, took out the edict from his arms, and solemnly shouted: "Lv Bu, accept the edict."

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately bowed and cupped his fists.

Xu Xie, the attendant of the Huangmen Gate, opened his mouth again and read: "His Majesty the Emperor ordered: Mingwei General Lu Bu has repeatedly made military exploits, and I know his loyalty and bravery..."

Xu Xie, who proclaimed the decree, read a lot of plausible words. The general idea is that His Majesty the Son of Heaven made an exception and appointed Lu Bu as the commander to command the three armies, and gave the Emperor Sword.

Lu Bu stood there in a daze. Even though he had traveled several times on the line of life and death, he couldn't believe the edict of the emperor that he had heard with his own ears.

During this trip, there are many generals with better reputations and family backgrounds than him.

And His Majesty the Emperor actually used him, a little-known little man, as his commander, and even bestowed the Emperor's Sword to command the three armies.

In this situation, Lu Bu's heart was moved by the feeling that "a man should die for his confidant".

"General Lu, don't stand still, accept the order." Xu Xie put together the edict in his hand and handed it to Lu Bu.

"The last general will accept the order and thank God for his grace."

Lu Bu lifted off his battle armor, knelt on the ground, raised the imperial edict with both hands, and shouted 'Your Majesty, Qianqiu'.

When Lu Bu got up, Xu Xie said to the attendants outside the door: "Bring up everything."

The four eunuchs waiting at the door walked into the hall one by one, holding different objects in their hands.

Excitement flashed across Lu Bu's eyes, and he looked at those objects with hot eyes.In addition to the weapons in his hand and the strong horses under his crotch, the most important thing for a general is the armor.

"Come on, put it on for General Lu." Xu Xie ordered.

The accompanying attendants stepped forward to loosen the outer robe for Lu Bu, and put the black and cold armor on Lu Bu.

"This is Hei Yijia, with animal face and head swallowed. It is forged from refined armor. It is a tribute from the Western Regions to His Majesty."

After changing the armor, several attendants put on a belt and a crown for Lu Bu.

"This is the three-pronged purple gold crown with bundled hair, the exquisite lion belt, and the jade brocade flood boots..."

Xu Xie introduced the origins of these treasures one by one.

After Lu Bu finished dressing, Xu Xie, who was born as a civil servant, couldn't help but shine: Hey, what a heroic and mighty general.

Afterwards, Xu Xie recruited two more people from outside the door.

Both of them are dressed as generals, wearing general armor.

The man on the left has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and high forehead, and his calm demeanor is somewhat similar to Gao Shun; the man on the right, who is about a few years older than Lu Bu, has a ferocious look in his eyes, exuding an unruly viciousness all over his body. gas.

Receiving a signal from Xu Xie, the two of them clasped their fists at Lu Bu and announced their names: "The last general Xu Rong (Li Jue), see General."

The [-] soldiers and horses sent by the emperor to Lu Bu were the [-] Sili Jingqi led by Xu Rong, and the [-] Hedong infantry led by Li Jue.

After a night's rest, Lu Bu personally sent Xu Xie out of Wubao, and sent more than a hundred armored cavalry to escort him across the river.

After sending off the court envoys, Cao Xing was the first to run up to Lu Bu, touched here and touched there, and exclaimed in admiration, "Boss, you look so handsome in this outfit."

"General, Mighty! Mighty!" All the surrounding soldiers shouted.

"The momentum is there, the only fly in the ointment is that it lacks a shirt." Xie Ce narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully.

Originally, Lu Bu had [-] soldiers under his command, but now with the addition of [-] soldiers sent by the imperial court, although it is still a lot short, it is still capable of fighting.

At noon, Wei Musheng, who was patrolling the camp, led a Qingyi man into Wubao, and came to Lu Bu, "General, look who is here!"

Lu Bu, who was discussing with Xie Ce, shifted his gaze to the man, and suddenly stepped forward, surprised and said: "Fourth brother, why are you here?"

"Brother-in-law, long time no see!"

Looking at the commander-in-chief of the three armies who is now the leader of the Northern Expedition in front of him, the young man smiled gently, took out a roll of documents from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Lu Bu, "I heard that you sent people here, so I brought some people here. The prisoners on death row and the soldiers of Jia Ding's family are all here. The old general said that even if he puts all his strength into Bingzhou this time, he vows to fight the Xianbei people to the death."

"Thank you, fourth brother."

Lu Bu's tiger eyes turned red, and the excitement in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time. The old general had put the entire Bingzhou on Lu Bu alone.

"Oh, by the way, I have something else for you." Yan Xin smiled mysteriously, and took out a black brocade shirt from the package.

A bright moon is embroidered on the back of the shirt, dotted with sporadic white snowflakes.Under the bright moonlight, there are countless soldiers traveling at night. The leading general is riding a red horse and holding a painting halberd.

Looking at the exquisite embroidery, Lu Bu seemed to think of something at this moment.

He eagerly turned the shirt over, and sure enough, there were a few lines of beautiful small characters embroidered on the inside of the shirt.

I heard that the snow outside the Great Wall is blooming,

Blow all night, travel is difficult;
My concubine weaves a piece of bright moonlight,

I wish to be King Sinan.
