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

Chapter 623 Falling Stars
Taking down Chen Liu without bloodshed also means that Lu Bu has opened the door to Yanzhou.

After entering Chenliu, the first thing Lu Bu did was to set up a list to comfort the people, and opened the gates of the four sides of the city wide, allowing the people to continue harvesting the unfinished grain and wheat.

This action won cheers from the people in the city, and at the same time, they were extremely grateful to this strange big Sima.

A few days later, Lu Bu let Zhang Miao go as promised.

Before parting, Lu Bu held a banquet to bid farewell to Zhang Miao, and then personally sent him out of the city.

The autumn wind is long, and the withered and yellow leaves are blown by the wind, spinning in the air, and falling down scattered.

A yellow withered leaf fell on Zhang Miao's shoulder.

Lu Bu brushed it off gently with his hand, then handed the whip into Zhang Miao's hand, and said with a slightly reluctant expression, "Meng Zhuo, if you can't stay with Cao Cao any longer, come to me, and I will go out of the city ten miles to meet you." .”

Hearing these words, Zhang Miao felt mixed feelings.

To say that you are not moved is to deceive yourself and others.

But it is not enough to say that it is driven by Lu Bu.

Zhang Miao got on his horse and cupped his hands with Lu Bu: "Dear Sima, take care!"

Lu Bu nodded and said: Be careful.

"Driving~"

Zhang Miao sipped softly, his legs clamped lightly on the horse's belly, and the steed galloped, leaving behind a black back that gradually drifted away to the people who saw him off.

"Boss, this guy doesn't seem to have much ability, why do you have to be courteous everywhere, making others think he is capable!" Under Pang Ji's urging, Cao Xing came forward, with a slightly dissatisfied tone ask.

Pang Ji would not take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing. If he did, he would be suspected of slander and jealousy.

"You don't understand."

Lu Bu sighed, withdrew his gaze, and walked into the city.

In late October, Zhang Miao joined his younger brother Zhang Chao in Jiwu.

Seeing that his brother was fine, Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally wanted to attack Chen Liu directly, and vent his anger on his brother's behalf.But Zhang Miao shook his head and declined politely, saying that Lv Bu had many generals and far outnumbered them, and that he should wait until he reunited with Cao Cao before making any plans.

At this time, Cao Cao had led his troops from Yanzhou and stationed in Shanyang.

In early November, Sun Jian, who was sent by Yuan Shu to attack Jingzhou, defeated Huang Zu one after another in Fancheng and Deng County, took advantage of the victory to pursue, crossed the Han River, and successfully surrounded Xiangyang.

Liu Biao closed his doors and did not fight. He sent Huang Zu out of the city at night to gather soldiers.

Huang Zu returned with his troops, and Sun Jian fought again.

Huang Zu was defeated and fled to Mount Xian. Sun Jian took advantage of the momentum to pursue, but was shot by a hidden arrow fired by Huang Zu's general from the bamboo forest, and fell off his horse and died on the spot.

A generation of generals fell away.

Huainan, Shouchun.

"Duke Yuan, please lend me three thousand soldiers and horses to hunt down the Liu thief!" In Yuan Shu's mansion, a young man dressed in hemp and filial piety gritted his teeth and vowed to avenge the death of his father.

With his back to the young man, Yuan Shu showed a little impatient look on his face. The young man ran to his house every day and couldn't be stopped. Every time he said something, it was about borrowing soldiers for revenge.

How can a mere child make people feel at ease.

With this thought in Yuan Shu's mind, he touched his chin, rolled his eyes back and forth in their sockets twice, turned around, with a particularly sad expression on his face, and patted the boy's shoulder lightly, with a trace of anger in his sadness: "Uncle Fu, your father and I are as close as brothers. Back then, we swore together and talked with each other. It feels like yesterday when I think about it. Now that he was murdered by a villain, my uncle is also heartbroken. He wished he could go south immediately and kill Liu Biao This hypocritical villain is a sacrifice to your father's spirit in heaven."

The young man looked indifferent, unmoved at all.

It was obviously not the first time he had heard Yuan Shu's remarks.

"But a few days ago, Cao Cao sent envoys here and invited me to hunt down the traitor Lv Bu. I have already agreed to Cao Cao and ordered to summon an army of [-]. I will lead the army northward in a few days, so..."

Yuan Shu paused, looked at Sun Ce and said earnestly: "So, in the face of brotherhood and national righteousness, I have to make a painful choice and put the country's community first."

The young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes took a step back, released Yuan Shu's palm on his shoulder, and clasped his fists again to plead: "Yuan Gong, my father has laid so many foundations in the south for you, and now I only ask you to borrow three thousand soldiers." Ma, isn't that too much? If you don't even agree to this small request, don't you think it will chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

Sun Ce didn't buy it, Yuan Shu's eyes flashed displeasure, but he continued to prevaricate with the righteousness of the country: "Nephew, don't worry. It's not that uncle doesn't want to avenge your father, but waits for Lu Bu to be killed. After this thief is gone, let's deal with Liu Biao again. At that time, uncle asked you to be the vanguard, how about it?"

Faced with Yuan Shu's swearing promise, Sun Ce's expression did not fluctuate at all.Anyone who is familiar with Yuan Shu knows that Yuan Shu is a person who likes to contradict what he says, and is most dishonest.

Take the capture of Runan as an example. Before Sun Jian led his army to set off, Yuan Shu promised that if he could break through Runan, he would present Sun Jian as General Annan and sit in Yuzhou.

As a result, Sun Jian fought fiercely for three months, at the cost of countless casualties, and finally took Runan.

But Yuan Shu was worried that Sun Jian would be too big to control, so he only gave Sun Jian the title of "General Polu".

It's really chilling to break your promise and get fat.

But now, it's not the time to settle old disputes with Yuan Shu, Sun Ce's only thought is to avenge his father.

"Yuan Gong, if I help you defeat Lu Bu, you are willing to borrow troops from me." Sun Ce didn't bother to ask Yuan Shu any more, and put forward the conditions straight to the point.

"Bo Fu's bravery, I often hear your father mention that if you have the heart to serve the country and kill thieves, it is a great blessing in the world! If you can get rid of Lu Bu, let alone [-] soldiers, even [-] soldiers, uncle will also be able to fight!" Lend it to you!"

Yuan Shu said it firmly, and made a promise to Sun Ce on the spot.

Yuan Shu had many generals under his command, but few were outstanding in military strength.

Although Sun Ce was young, his military strength was particularly strong. Looking at Yuan Shu's subordinates, even Ji Ling, whom he relied on the most, was no match for Sun Ce.

Hearing Yuan Shu's promise, Sun Ce also had hesitation in his heart, no matter how credible the words are, let's believe him this time first.

"Since Yuan Gong attaches so much importance to it, he is willing to be the pioneer in this trip."

After all, without Yuan Shu's consent, Sun Ce straightened up, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Yuan Shu, who wanted to help Sun Ce get up, withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and looked at the heroic figure who turned away, with a deep displeasure on his face.

What an arrogant kid.

Outside the mansion, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other old subordinates stood beside the stone lions in front of the gate, stretching their necks and looking into Yuan's mansion with anxious faces.

The young master of their family is good at everything, but his temperament is too straightforward, if he offends Yuan Shu, it will be very bad.

After all, they still have to rely on the Yuan family for shelter.

At this time, Sun Ce strode out.

A few people rushed over to welcome them, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

Facing expectant gazes, Sun Ce clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Pack up your bags and prepare to go north."
