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

Chapter 529

"Ce, I have met the general."

Xi Ce stepped forward and bowed his hands to salute.

After putting his children down, Lu Bu waved his hands and looked at Xi Ce with a smile on his face: "Sir, you and I are not outsiders, why should you be so polite, let's go in and talk."

When they arrived at the main room, Lu Bu, Xi Ce and Chen Gong took their seats.

"Sir, during the time I was away in Chang'an, did any major events happen?" This was what Lu Bu was most concerned about. He almost lost contact with Chang'an when he went to Hanzhong. The speed of news transmission between the two places was really too slow.

Xi Ce looked at Lu Bu and replied, "General, everything is fine in Guanzhong."

In the past few months, the recruiting hall has flourished and attracted many scholars.Some talents with more outstanding abilities have already begun to arrange official positions.Of course, it is not realistic at the moment to directly become an official in the imperial court, and most of the replacement positions are middle and lower-level officials.

Cultivating party members is not a matter of overnight, you have to be steady and take your time.

"Then is there any movement from the princes in various places?" Lu Bu asked again.

Xi Ce nodded, and explained in detail with Lu Bu: "Two months ago, the Yuan-Cao coalition forces broke through the two passes of Hulao and Yuanyuan in the east and southeast of Luoyang, and arrived in Luoyang. , the two sides have been in a confrontation to this day.”

During this period, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's tricks emerged one after another, such as rumors, confusion, and surrender, which caused Dong Zhuo's army's morale to drop and their spirits to slump.

Unwilling to sit still and wait for death, Dong Zhuo also sent people to attack the grain and grass, trying to follow the strategy of Hulaoguan and cut off Yuan Cao's supplies.As a result, the attack failed, and against Cao Cao's plan, all the thousands of soldiers who went there were lost. "

When Lu Bu heard about this, his eyes showed a little appreciation: "Cao Cao is very cunning! He learned a lot from being caught in a trap, and it will be difficult to break his way in the future."

When talking about Cao Cao, Chen Gong frowned, and said firmly: "This man is cruel and cruel, and he is not a gentleman!"

"Oh, Gongtai recognizes Cao Cao?"

Hearing Chen Gong's speech, Lu Bu became somewhat interested.He knew that Chen Gong in his previous life had worked under Cao Cao for a long time, and he had won Yanzhou for Cao Cao.Later, when Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian, Chen Gong introduced himself to Yanzhou and helped him defeat Cao Cao many times.

So, how did Chen Gong and Cao Cao get to know each other in this life?

Chen Gongsui said that when he was the magistrate of Zhongmou County in the past, he saved Cao Cao's life by chance, and he abandoned his official position and fled to Chenliu with him.However, Cao Cao killed his old friend Lu Boshe's family on the way, which caused Chen Gong's impression of him to change drastically.Especially the sentence after the murder, "I would rather bear others than others", made Chen Gong extremely disappointed in Cao Cao.

I would rather bear others, than others bear me.

Lu Bu murmured a few times, as if he had some feeling in his heart. This seemingly ruthless sentence actually contained the iron-blooded spirit of a generation of heroes.

"How am I compared to Cao Cao?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong.

"General Gao Yi, who leveled the army and horses, made countless military exploits, and rescued the emperor's officials from Dong Zhuo's tiger's mouth. He was worthy of the emperor and benefited the people. He is the humerus of the great man and the pillar of the country. Cao Cao can't compare it. .”

Chen Gong answered righteously, and in his heart, it was true.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with this answer, so he continued to ask: "Then if one day, between me and the big man, you can only choose one, who will you choose?"

Chen Gong had a troubled expression on his face, apparently he had never thought about this question.

In his eyes, Lu Bu is a wise master worthy of serving, and helping the Han Dynasty is his ideal in this life.

It's really hard to choose between the two.

"Hahaha, Gongtai, I was joking with you!"

Chen Gong couldn't give a clear answer, but Lu Bu laughed out loud instead, and said encouragingly, "You and I are both Han subjects. In this life, we should work hard to revitalize the Han Dynasty and put down the thieves in the world."

Hearing these words, Chen Gong's face was excited, hope rekindled in his eyes, he secretly thought that he had seen the right person, stood up from his seat, cupped his hands and responded decisively: "Gong is willing to follow the general to the death and revive the great man!"

Lu Bu smiled and asked him to sit down.

In addition to Yuan Cao's pressure on Dong Zhuo, the imperial court also ordered Gao Shun to take advantage of the situation and go east to Hangu Pass to besiege Dong Zhuo.

"Gao Shun gone?"

Lu Bu's face was a little dignified, and he didn't know anything about this matter.

Xi Ce shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "General Gao hasn't left the customs, I have called in advance and asked him to say he is sick."

Chen Gong frowned at this, apparently disapproving of Xie Ce's way of deceiving Sheng Ting.

Lu Bu didn't say anything. He now has Bingzhou, Xiliang, Guanzhong, Hanzhong and other places in his hands, and his wings are gradually full, and he already has the strength to fight Dong Zhuo head-on.

As for why the imperial court ordered Gao Shun to leave the customs, Lu Bu could think of it with his feet.It was nothing more than that when the emperor was in Luoyang, he suffered Dong Zhuo's contempt. Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally wanted to add insult to injury and kill Dong Zhuo in one go to vent his hatred.

Now that Lu Bu is back, I believe that within a few days, the imperial court will order him to lead an army to attack Dong Zhuo.

Putting Dong Zhuo's matter aside for now, Lu Bu looked at Xi Ce and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

Xi Ce frowned in his mind, with a smile on his face: "There are no big things, but there are two small things, which are quite interesting."

"tell me the story."

"Firstly, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan made a statement, claiming to be seriously ill and will die soon. I hope to see my three sons again before going west, and I hope the court approves."

Arranged according to the genealogy, Liu Yan is still the generation of uncles of today's emperor.

When Liu Yan was ordered to enter Yizhou, Liu Hong only asked him to bring his third son, Liu Mao, with him. The remaining three sons stayed in Luoyang.

Now Liu Yan's three sons have positions.The eldest son, Liu Fan, served as General Zhonglang; the second son, Liu Dan, served as the censor of the book; the youngest son, Liu Zhang, served as the captain of the car.

"Is it approved?"

"not yet."

"Hmm~" Lu Bu pondered for a while, and made a decision: "Let the three brothers come to my house tomorrow, I want to see them."

"Okay, General."

Before that, Liu Yan still had the energy to attack Hanzhong, so why did he suddenly become critically ill?Also, for such an important matter, it is impossible that there will be no news of the rebuke arranged in Yizhou.

It is estimated that [-]% of the news of critical illness is false.

This old ghost!

Lu Bu cursed secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged: "What's the other thing?"

"Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao made a secret report, saying that Liu Yan secretly made more than a thousand luanyu (carriage frames used by the emperor), which is similar to the theory that Zixia doubted the saint in Xihe."

The smile on Xi Ce's slender face became more and more intense. As Liu Biao, who is next to him, he took part in Liu Yan's book.

This pair of royal family members is very interesting.
