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

Chapter 519 Snakes and rats, why not be afraid

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu withdrew their troops for the time being, and retreated five miles to the village.

In the afternoon, in Nanzhengcheng County Guard's Mansion, Lu Bu was discussing with Chen Gong the next related matters.

Now that Su Gu is dead, Lu Bu's trip is considered to have achieved his goal. Hanzhong County needs a new sheriff, but the candidate for the sheriff has become a headache for Lu Bu.

The mountains in Hanzhong are high and the emperor is far away, and the Qinling Mountains are separated from Chang'an, so it is difficult to communicate with each other.To govern Guanzhong, it is best to use local officials to govern the local area like Xiliang did, which is the most appropriate.

However, among the officials big and small in Hanzhong County, only Xue Qi had a good impression of Lu Bu.

The only thing that worries Lu Bu is that he has not been able to find Xue Qi's weakness, and if he can't hold him, this kind of person may rebel at any time.

It's like he was still working for Su Gu yesterday, and he can do things for himself immediately today, and he can't guarantee that as soon as Liu Yan comes tomorrow, he can hand over his hands and send him to Hanzhong to join Liu Yan.

What Lu Bu needs is a character who can defend until he leads an army to help even if foreign thieves invade.People like Song Xian and Pan Feng under his command are fine as city guards, but it is not suitable for them to be county guards and manage one side.

If it doesn't work, Chen Gong can only be allowed to stay in Hanzhong Jinglue temporarily, and then let him replace Chen Gong when there is a suitable candidate at the Recruitment Hall.

But before going back, we must resolve the worries of Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu in Bashu.

I originally wanted to take Hanzhong in one go and go straight to Bashu, but the plan may have to be shelved for the time being.

The main reason is that Lu Bu underestimated the dangers of the road here and the difficulty of marching.He was able to enter the main pass, which accounted for a large part of luck.

Liu Yan has been operating in Bashu for a long time, and his foundation has gradually stabilized, and he will not be able to conquer it in a short while.What's more, with Lu Bu's current military strength, it is difficult to dispatch a large number of soldiers and horses to Hanzhong.

It is better to wait until Hanzhong is stabilized in the future, or the land of Jingxiang will be opened up in the future, and then attack Liu Yan in Bashu.

As long as Liu Yan doesn't take the initiative to pick things up, let him play around for a few years.

"General, Zhang Xiu sent an envoy to see you." The soldiers outside the gate reported.

Lu Bu, who was dozing off with eyes narrowed slightly, heard this, opened his eyes, and said, "Let him in."

Soon, an assistant officer with the appearance of a literati walked in outside the door. He bowed to Lv Bu in fear and respect, and said, "Your Majesty, the master of the Sima Tent of the Biebu Department, please greet Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu glanced at this person, and asked calmly, "What did Zhang Xiu ask you to do?"

"Returning to Marquis Wen, the two generals Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu didn't know that Marquis Wen was coming to Hanzhong, so they dared to bump into Marquis Wen in the city today, so they held a banquet in the camp and wanted to apologize to Marquis Wen. Special officials came to invite them , Marquis Wen, please honor your face and go to the banquet."

While talking, Zhu Bo watched Lu Bu's expression carefully, for fear that if he was careless, he would offend the right general of the Han Dynasty.

"Since the two of them are so sincere, go back and tell them that the general will be here tonight." Lu Bu said very decisively, without the slightest procrastination.

Seeing that Lu Bu agreed so readily, Zhu Bo breathed a sigh of relief.I thought it would take a lot of effort to invite this great god, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, so Lu Bu agreed.He didn't say much, bowed to bid farewell to Lu Bu, and left the hall.

After Master Bo left, Chen Gong looked worried, and advised: "General, this time is very likely to be a Hongmen banquet set up by Er Zhang, so don't go lightly."

As a counselor under Lu Bu's tent, Chen Gong naturally had to consider Lu Bu's safety in advance.

Lu Bu didn't take this seriously, and his tone showed a little disdain: "They are not the overlords of Chu, and I am not Han Gaozu, the generation of snakes and rats, what are you afraid of! If I don't go, people in the world will laugh at me for being cowardly, Lu Bu?"

Seeing that Lu Bu had made up his mind, Chen Gong stopped persuading him.

Lu Bu went to change his clothes, Chen Gong found Song Xian, and said to him: "General Song, take two thousand horses and set off tonight, hide outside the Shu army stronghold, if there is any movement, rush in and rescue the general."

Lü Bu prided himself on his martial arts, but Chen Gong had no choice but to defend himself. This was his duty.

"Decree." Song Xian clasped his fists in response.

At dusk, at the gate of the Bashu military camp.

Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu led a group of generals to stand outside the gate of the village, looking in the direction of Nanzheng City, with anxious expressions on their faces.

"The sun is already setting, why hasn't it come yet?" Zhang Xiu frowned, as if complaining.

The master Bo Macaijun was also here, and he replied: "At that time, Marquis Wen had clearly and unequivocally answered the villain, saying that he would definitely come!"

"Do you want to send someone to remind you?" A certain general behind him whispered.

Zhang Xiu shook his head slightly, suppressing the irritability in his heart: "Wait a little longer."

After a while, the sound of trampling horseshoes came from far and near.

"he came."

Zhang Xiu heard the sound of galloping war horses, his eyes sparkled.

Lu Bu brought only a dozen or so riders with him on this trip, and when he arrived at the gate of the village, he saw Zhang Xiu and the others waiting there, raised his legs and slid off his horse, saying: "You guys have been waiting for a long time."

Zhang Xiu took the lead in bowing and saluting, and shouted first, and the generals behind him also shouted: "I will pay my respects to Marquis Wen."

Afterwards, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu led Lu Bu into the camp.

In the barracks, when the soldiers heard that Lu Bu was coming, they all came to wait and see, wanting to stand at the closest distance and see what the general who was rumored to be fascinated by was like.

Tall body, straight torso, eyebrows tucked into the temples, plump and handsome, even without armor, he is still majestic.

There was worship in the eyes of the soldiers.

Perhaps in their hearts, there is also a small extravagant hope, hoping that one day in the future, they can also become a hero like Wen Hou.

Walking into the big tent, Zhang Xiu ordered to go down, ordering someone to bring the food and wine that had been prepared.

The two invited Lv Bu to take the seat of honor, but Lv Bu waved his hands and declined politely, sat down on the front left seat, and said with a slight smile, "Since I'm a guest, there's no reason for us to overwhelm the host."

After Lu Bu said this, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu followed the trend and took their seats with the other confidant generals.

After sitting down, Er Zhang and the generals in the tent raised their wine cups and respected Lu Bu.

"People with low ranks have poor eyesight, and they don't know Mount Tai. Today, I offended Marquis Wen with words in the city. I am here to make amends with wine. Please don't blame Marquis Wen."

Zhang Xiu took the initiative to apologize, and the rest of the generals looked at Lu Bu at the same time, waiting for the reply of this greeting.

Lv Bu made a haha, didn't take it seriously, and laughed loudly: "You generals are all loyal men of my great man. They have made outstanding achievements. This general and the court will never forget it. As for the collision with this general under the city, those who don't know Not guilty, and this general never took it to heart."

Zhang Xiu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted in unison: "Marquis Wen is large."

Afterwards, everyone just toasted and flattered Lu Bu, flattering Lu Bu, praising him for his bravery and invincibility, and treating the princes of the Guandong as worthless.

Lu Bu just listened to these words, and would not take them seriously.

As far as flattery is concerned, when Lv Bu was reused by the late Emperor Liu Hong, those officials in Luoyang City who wanted to curry favor with him were more than ten times better than these generals.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Bu put down the wine cup in his hand. After drinking so much wine, it was time to talk about serious business.He looked at Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu, and said very calmly: "Su Gu is dead, you more than 1 Sichuan and Shu soldiers should withdraw to Chengdu."

As soon as these words came out, the happy atmosphere in the tent instantly dropped to freezing point.
