Chapter 567

After leaving the county town and going south, walking five or six miles, there is a river that is ten feet wide.

At this time, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and a thick layer of ice formed on the river.

Lv Bu walked across the stone bridge over the Hengjia River with his wife and daughter. On the other side of the river was the place where he grew up.

"Look, Dad, that person seems to be you!"

The daughter pointed to the front and cried out in surprise.

Looking in the direction pointed by the little bell, in the village not far ahead, at the intersection of the road entering the village, a stone statue with a height of three or four feet was built.

Judging from its appearance, it is obvious that it is a general in military uniform.

The general holds a halberd in his right hand and holds the rein in his left hand. He pulls the steed riding under his crotch and raises his front hooves to step in the air, as if there is an invisible momentum rushing towards his face, full of domineering.

Walking into the village, the villagers are making lunch, and the smoke is curling up.

The original address of the Lu family still exists, and a new house has been built next to the old site. The plaque in front of the gate reads 'Lu's Ancestral Hall'.

This was built when Lu Bu was General Right, and local officials requested to build an ancestral hall for the Lu family.

"Daddy, there's nothing here, it's not fun at all!" Not long after, Little Bell muttered.

Lu Bu rubbed his daughter's forehead and said with a smile, "This is where Dad grew up. Although it doesn't have the luxury of Chang'an Mansion, it will always be a unique place in Dad's heart, do you understand?"

Little Bell shook her head blankly.

"Husband, Ling'er doesn't understand this." Yan Wei whispered on the side. She had been here with her husband before, so she was not too surprised to come here this time.

"You are... General Lu!" Some of the villagers recognized Lu Bu.

The five members of Lu Bu's family are different from these rural villagers in terms of their dressing and manner of speaking, plus the joy and noise of the three children along the way, it's hard not to attract attention.

"You are polite, you don't have to call me a general, just call me Feng Xian." Lu Bu walked over and said to the villagers in a friendly manner.

In his not-so-deep impression, there are still some memories of the old man.

"It's really General Lu! Kowtow to the general, everyone!"

Seeing Lu Bu admit his identity, the old man spoke to everyone behind him with a particularly excited expression.Then he led all the people to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Bu.

"Folks, what are you doing? Don't make such a big gift. The younger generation can't afford it." Seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and got the kneeling villagers up.

After the villagers got up, they were still very cautious.

The topics of discussion were basically asked by Lu Bu on his own initiative, and they answered carefully, for fear that there would be any deviation.

In general, the status and identities of the two parties are different.It is impossible for these villagers to call him 'Boy of the Lu family' as they did when they were young.

…………

Heavy snow is flying, ushering in the end of the year.

Qingzhou, Pingyuan County.

In the county guard's mansion, Liu Bei, who served as Prime Minister of Pingyuan, was immersed in handling the affairs of the county. Under his benevolent governance, the people of Pingyuan County lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Whenever the people in the county mentioned the Prime Minister Ping Yuan, they all praised him.

After dealing with the government affairs on the desk, Liu Bei put down his pen, shrugged his shoulders tiredly, looked at the thick pile of letters on the desk, and sighed unconsciously.

He is already in his twenties this year, but he still hasn't accomplished anything.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the leader of Pingyuan County and a good official loved by the people.

But in fact, Liu Bei knew better than anyone else that Prime Minister Ping Yuan was nothing more than a charity given to him by Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao, who had grown in power, had the idea of ​​annexing Qingzhou. After Tian Kai learned about it, he took the initiative to recruit Liu Bei, hoping to use him to help resist Yuan Shao.

If he can be an obedient dog honestly, maybe Tian Kai can take the position of Prime Minister Ping Yuan and let him serve for a long time.You must know that for ordinary people to be able to achieve the position of Pingyuan Prime Minister (equivalent to the Sheriff) in this life is enough to honor the lintel.

However, Liu Bei is not reconciled to living in a corner of the plain, his ambition is far more than that.He wants to be a hero who saves the country and helps the world, or a great figure like Emperor Guangwu.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

No one is optimistic about Liu Bei, and no one is willing to admit his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

This was a big blow to Liu Bei.

In contrast, Lu Bu, who also came from a poor family, has now become the great Sima above ten thousand people.As for myself, I have worked hard for many years, and until now I am still a little-known figure.

What people fear most in life is losing hope in themselves.

Liu Bei is also a human being, and he also knows joy, anger, sorrow and joy.It's just that he always hides his sadness in his heart, so that no one will find out.

"My lord, there is a general outside asking to see you!" Since the last assassination incident, Chen Dao has acted as a personal guard by Liu Bei's side.

Hearing the report, Liu Bei sat upright, packed up his lost mood just now, and told Chen Wei: "Let him in."

Soon, a young general in white robe walked into the hall.

"The last general, Tai Shici, has met Prime Minister Ping Yuan!" The young man under the hall clasped his fists, and immediately announced his name, his voice resounded throughout the hall.

Liu Bei obviously had never heard of such a number one person as Tai Shici, but seeing this man's extraordinary appearance, his words and deeds had the demeanor of a general, he immediately became friends with him, and asked modestly: "General Tai Shici came to this humble place, why is he here?" Come?"

"Does Mr. Liu know that there are a lot of remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou?" Liu Bei's attitude was good, and Tai Shici's tone was also a little friendly.

Liu Bei nodded. He knew about this. It is said that the "Yellow Turban Remnant" has hundreds of thousands of people, but it has not yet spread to the plains.

Seeing Liu Bei nodding, Tai Shici went on to say: "One of them has besieged Beihai, and the governor of Beihai sent someone here just to ask you to send troops to rescue."

"Kong Beihai knows that there is Liu Bei in the world!"

Liu Bei's voice suddenly rose, and he usually showed no emotion, but today he couldn't hide the excitement and joy on his face.He was not only happy that Kong Rong knew his reputation, but also happy that Kong Rong asked himself for help.

Because he knew that his opportunity had come!
Kong Rong is different from him. His status as a royal family has been criticized repeatedly, but Kong Rong is a direct descendant of Confucius who is serious and honest, and he is also a prominent family in Qingzhou area.

Whether it is fame or status, the current Liu Bei is far behind.

But now, Kong Rong is asking him for help. As long as he can successfully rescue Beihai, then Liu Bei's reputation and reputation will be improved rapidly, and he will be able to make friends with Kong Rong.

This is simply a matter of great benefit and no harm!

"General Taishi, please wait a moment, I will send troops right away."

Liu Bei talked to Tai Shici, and then called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and ordered loudly: "Second and third brothers, immediately gather troops and horses, and follow me to Beihai to kill the thieves!"

Fighting spirit rose in Liu Bei's eyes, and he cheered up again.

Hulao Pass failed to show its power, so let Beihai become my shining stage!
