I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 642 Xiangguo is so hardworking

Facing Niu Fu's righteous question, Lu Bu was really a little confused.

Although Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, his loyalty to Dong Zhuo is not that high?

At least during the period of cooperation with Lu Bu, Lu Bu did not see that Niu Fu was so loyal to Dong Zhuo!

Moreover, Dong Zhuo is now dying, and he belongs to a person who has no future today. Lu Bu just wanted to give Niu Fu a way out, not to let Niu Fu betray Dong Zhuo. How could Niu Fu react so violently?

Could it be that after Dong Zhuo's death, he, Niu Fu, would not submit to the imperial court, but would become the king of the mountain at the top of Liangzhou Mountain?

After so many years as a general, is this the only wisdom he has left?I have spent so many years as a general in vain!

Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel angry.

It turns out that Niu Fu is quite a reliable person, but why is he so bad at the critical moment?

It’s okay if you don’t want to be okay, don’t try your best to drag me into the water!
Faced with Niu Fu's pretentious scolding, Lu Bu did not take his curse seriously.

Lu Bu encountered many tough opponents throughout his life in battles in the north and south. He had fought against many powerful generals in his life. How could Lu Bu be intimidated by Niu Fu?
Facing Niu Fu's aggressive look, Lu Bu just said calmly: "General Niu, what do you want to do to me?"

Niu Fu felt a little angry when he saw that Lu Bu didn't treat him as a dish after he said the harsh words.

You Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, do you think someone like Niu has no prestige or intimidation at all in your heart?

Thinking of this, Niu Fu turned around and walked to the sword stand nearby, picked up his long sword from the sword stand, and then pulled the long sword out of the scabbard with a "clang".

"Lu Bu, if you dare not listen to me, the two of us will fight to the death today. Let me show you the disadvantage of the sword in my hand!"

If it were someone else, facing Niu Fu's sword-drawing threat, he would definitely have some scruples in his heart.

But it's a pity that the person Niu Fu is threatening now is Lu Bu among the people!

Not to mention that what Niu Fu is holding is a long sword.

He is now holding a 40-meter-long sword in his hand. In front of Lu Bu, he is just like playing house, without any threat at all!

Then Lu Bu walked towards Niu Fu's direction step by step with a straight face.

And the long sword held in Niu Fu's hand was like nothing in Lu Bu's eyes!
He actually pressed his chest against Niu Fu's sword.

Niu Fu was stunned when he saw this, and then subconsciously took two steps back!
This sudden decision was made, and the momentum showed that Lu Bu was able to suppress Niu Fu.

"You, what are you doing?"

Niu Fu asked Lu Bu nervously.

Lu Bu said to Niu Fu with a calm look on his face: "General Niu, you and I are both prosperous and destructive. Is the advice Mr. Lu put forward to you today just for myself?"

"I am also thinking about General Niu and the officers and men of the three armies. If the Prime Minister dies and we don't surrender to the imperial court, who should we surrender to? Are we working as homeless bandits in Liangzhou?"

"And after returning to the court, we do not necessarily have to return to Wang Yun's command. We are just taking this opportunity to return to the court. When we come to power in the future, you and I will work together to get rid of the control of those noble families and ministers. We will become our own Wouldn’t it be beautiful for a whole family to assist the emperor?”

"At that time, the power of the court will be in the hands of you and me. You and I will be the emperor's personal generals, just like the prime ministers now. Isn't this a bad life? What is wrong with Lu's words? What does General Niu think? Isn’t it feasible everywhere?”

Lu Bu's words made Niu Fu stunned for a while.

Since Lu Bu lost to Liu Jian last time, he has learned from the pain and worked hard to grow up. Although he is still not as good as the top princes in the world, the current Lu Bu is completely different from the reckless man in the past.

This impassioned speech made Niu Fu unable to answer even what he said.

It took him a long time to answer:

"I just think that since the Prime Minister's country is still alive, it would be too anxious for us to look for opportunities to join others. As a son-in-law, I can't face my wife when I get home!"

Hearing what Niu Fu said, Lu Bu took another step forward and pressed his chest against the tip of the long sword in Niu Fu's hand again.

"If General Niu can't trust Lu Bu, then take Lu Bu's life here. Then General Niu can do whatever he wants. Lu will never bother the general again in the future, how about that?"

When Ushifu saw this, his face turned a little blue. He suddenly stamped his feet heavily, and then put the long sword aside.

"Fengxian, Fengxian, the two of us have been cooperating for a while, and we know each other well. At this juncture, how can I really kill you? I just hope that you will stabilize and don't agree to the court for the time being. The greetings of those people, we have to do things step by step, and we must not be anxious about some things. Once we are anxious, what if we can't look back?"

Lu Bu couldn't help but frowned when he heard Niu Fu say this.

He has been working with Niu Fu for a while, and he has a good understanding of Niu Fu's temperament.

Niu Fu is an impatient person, and he is also a person with a rather impatient temper. He can't keep his temper in anything. But now when he encounters such a big thing, he is able to keep his temper. This clearly shows that this is not Niu Fu's character. .

But Lu Bu couldn't figure out the specific reason for this yet.

There was no other way, so Lu Bu could only say: "General Niu said that Lu was too impatient. I would like to apologize to General Niu."

Seeing Lu Bu apologize to him so sincerely, Niu Fu's face suddenly showed a smile.

"Fengxian, just understand your mistake. It doesn't matter. You and I are in the same boat. How could I see you in trouble and not give you a hand?"

"Please allow me to think twice about surrendering to the imperial court. When our thoughts are clear, we can make plans again."

Niu Fu felt that what he said would definitely get Lu Bu's approval, but he didn't know that Lu Bu actually despised him in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you stop and stop, you will be subject to chaos.

Regardless of why Niu Fu had this idea, under such circumstances, he actually had to observe the situation. Lu Bu was really very disappointed with Niu Fu.

How can you cooperate with such a person for a long time?
But on the surface, Lu Bu still said: "General Niu is right."

While Niu Fu and Lu Bu were discussing the matter, a guard hurried over from outside the door, saying that he was a messenger sent by Dong Huang to convey military orders to Niu Fu and Lu Bu.

When Niu Fu heard that the person coming was Dong Huang's messenger, he couldn't help but show a bit of disdain on his face.

"How can this kid send a messenger here? What qualifications does he have to give me orders?"

The guard of Niu Mansion said hurriedly: "Report to the general, the messenger sent by Dong Huang does not represent himself, but represents the Prime Minister."

As soon as these words were said, Niu Fu and Lu Bu's expressions changed.

It’s not that the two of them didn’t know the meaning of these words.

Why did Dong Zhuo's messengers suddenly appear?
Logically speaking, Dong Zhuo is now weak and weak. He may not even know who he is, so why would he send messengers?

Niu Fu and Lu Bu looked at each other doubtfully.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Niu Fu still ordered: "Let him come in."

Then I saw the messenger entering the big tent.

He showed military salutes to Niu Fu and Lu Bu respectively.

"The Prime Minister has ordered that the soldiers and generals will be drilled at the school grounds in Ji County at noon tomorrow, and the three armies will be drilled. The two generals will also be informed of the military orders issued."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Bu and Niu Fu were shocked.

Dong Zhuo wants to personally teach the three armies. Isn't he sick?

Moreover, he was already terminally ill and unconscious.

Why did this suddenly become better?
Lu Bu turned to look at Niu Fu in confusion.

But Niu Fu said hurriedly: "We should take the order ourselves."

After the ordering soldiers left, Niu Fu looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, take a look. I asked you to stop and wait for a while, right?" "Xiangguo's illness is getting better, isn't it? ?"

"If we really take refuge in that bullshit Wang Yun now, the Prime Minister will know about it later."

"I'm afraid neither of us knows how we died."

"Is it right to just listen to me?"

Lu Bu didn't know whether this was right or not.

However, he now has some doubts in his heart.

Then he saw Lu Bu and said, "Lv will go back first to organize the troops and wait for the Prime Minister's performance."

Niu Fu nodded vigorously and said: "Go quickly, don't look back and delay, and anger the Prime Minister!"

Lu Bu cupped his hands, then turned and left.

After returning to his military camp, Zhang Liao came to see him just in time.

Lu Bu recounted to him what had just happened in Niu Fu's military camp.

Zhang Liao said: "I came to Fengxian because the person who just sent an order from the Prime Minister came to tell me that the Prime Minister was going to order troops at the school, so I came to discuss the matter with Fengxian. However, it seems that the condition of the Prime Minister is really serious." It gets better, otherwise he wouldn’t order troops in front of the three armies.”

Lu Bu nodded.

He then asked Zhang Liao another question.

"Niu Fu is not a calm and calm person. Why this time I invited him to join the imperial court, but he resisted and insisted on observing. This does not seem to be his character."

Zhang Liao actually didn't understand the mystery.

Although he is both wise and brave, he is still good at leading troops in battle. He is still slightly worse at political and human issues.

After Zhang Liao thought hard for a long time, he slowly said:
"Did General Niu have reached an agreement with someone else?"

"That's why I don't want Fengxian and you to defect to Wang Yun before him."

"Although Fengxian and he are currently on the same side, after all, you two are not from the same state."

"You two, one was born in Liangzhou and the other was born in Bingzhou."

"At times like this, it's normal to have different opinions."

"I'm just afraid that Niu Fu is unwise and will be manipulated by others, thus delaying us in vain."

Lu Bu raised his hand and slammed the table in front of him hard.

"No matter who it is, if it delays my future, Lv, I will kill him."

Zhang Liao said hurriedly: "There is no need to be so anxious now."

"Let's look at the state of the troops at the Xiangguo Campus before we make a judgment."

……

……

At noon, the generals of various ministries led their elites to the school grounds, waiting for Dong Zhuo's training.

Then, Dong Zhuo, fully armed and covered in heavy armor, appeared in front of everyone.

The leading Xiliang generals were extremely surprised when they saw Dong Zhuo.

The heavy armor Dong Zhuo wore was so heavy that a weak person would not be able to walk wearing it.

But looking at Dong Zhuo's current appearance, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, with his head held high and his chest held high, the weight of this suit of armor is not reflected at all on him.

How is this the state a sick person should be in?
All the generals were thinking secretly.

"Is Xiangguo's illness really cured?"

Dong Zhuo came to the high platform, glanced fiercely back and forth at the people below, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Dong Zhuo's laughter sounded energetic to everyone.

"Generals, I have been feeling cold in the past few months and have not been in charge of the affairs. It is all thanks to the generals to control the military affairs so that the three armies will not be harassed by the bandits. I would like to thank you all!"

The generals hurriedly bowed their hands to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuolong walked back and forth on the high platform at a leisurely pace and said: "Although I have recovered now, my physical strength is still weak, and I cannot fully control all affairs in the army. Therefore, for the time being, I will leave the general affairs to my nephew to handle for me. Wait until everything can be reported to my nephew, and then he will report it to me."

After saying that, Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Huang: "Huang'er, I appoint you as the Protector of the Three Armies!"

This was naturally something Dong Zhuo and Dong Huang had discussed in advance. The purpose was for Dong Zhuo to come forward today to shock the generals and make them calm down for a while, so as not to cause any trouble at this critical moment, and then concentrate power on Dong Zhuo. On Huang's body.

In this way, it can be temporarily guaranteed that the Xiliang Army will not split.

Dong Zhuo also ordered the soldiers of the three armies to practice the formation in front of him, and then gave some instructions. Then he ordered the generals of each department to lead their troops back and continue to camp according to the original arrangement.

Dong Zhuo's appearance today can be said to have calmed down the uneasy hearts of the Xiliang army.

Especially for people like Lu Bu, when he saw that Dong Zhuo was so strong, he naturally didn't dare to think of taking refuge in someone else's service again.

But in fact, Dong Zhuo's body is still very weak, but with his innate fierceness and his current strong perseverance, he managed to hold on to the situation.

Then, he handed everything over to Dong Huang and asked Hua Xiong to assist him.

In order to prevent unrest among the three armies more firmly, he also recruited his younger brother Dong Min to come.

I think Dong Min will arrive in Hebei County soon.

After Dong Zhuo got off the high platform and returned to his residence, he immediately lay on the bed as if he was exhausted, unable to even stand up at all.

This time he really used up all his energy, so he probably needed to practice seriously for a while.

But this time, his physical exertion was worth it.

The key to the problem was not only that he had settled his soldiers, but also that spies from all sides had discovered Dong Zhuo's military training at the school, especially Ma Teng and Han Sui.

The reason why Ma Teng and Han Sui are stationing troops around Ji County and monitoring the situation at all times is because they know that Dong Zhuo is seriously ill.

Xiliang's army and Bingzhou's army are equally powerful, so they can reap the benefits.

After the news of the three armies reached them, Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't help but hesitate. If Dong Zhuo really recovered his health, they might not be able to get any benefits if they continued to stay here.

At this time, Dong Zhuo also secretly sent envoys to Ma Teng and Han Sui, intending to negotiate a temporary peace with them.

They don't have too many ambitions, they just want to separate the northwest and have a panoramic view of the world.

If Dong Zhuo could withdraw from Liangzhou, they would have peace of mind, so this peace negotiation would actually be beneficial to them.

So Ma Teng and Han Sui borrowed their donkeys from the slope and agreed to negotiate peace.

The rebels secretly reached peace terms with Dong Zhuo, which freed the Xiliang army to take care of the court's affairs.
