Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 287 Lu Bu: Is this the feeling of returning home in glory? Red Hare and Diao Chan are no more than this!
Wuyuan County is a border area of ​​Bingzhou and also Lu Bu's hometown. Outside Wuyuan County is the grassland occupied by the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei.

It was in Wuyuan County that Lu Bu gained fame for killing the Huns, but since leaving his hometown, he has never returned.

I didn't expect that this group of defeated soldiers would actually run to Wuyuan County.

A group of defeated soldiers fled from Jinyang in a panic. They were short of supplies and had no choice but to burn, kill and loot along the way!

Wouldn’t his fellow villagers in Wuyuan County also be badly affected?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu’s eyes widened immediately.

Sima Yi frowned and said, "Yuan Shao has always been on good terms with the Wuhuan. Gao Gan must be among the defeated soldiers. He must be planning to escape through Wuyuan County and join the Wuhuan."

After analyzing Gao Gan's intention, Sima Yi immediately said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang, you lead 5,000 troops to pursue the enemy. Make sure to kill all the rebels!"

"In addition, Wuyuan County has not yet been recovered. General Huang can take it back by the way."

Huang Zhong said with full energy: "I, your humble general, will..."

"slow!"

Before Huang Zhong finished speaking, Lu Bu suddenly interrupted him with a loud shout, saying righteously: "I don't need 5,000 soldiers and horses. I only need 3,000 cavalry to annihilate the enemy!"

"Besides, Wuyuan County is my hometown. It is my duty to recover Wuyuan County. How can I leave it to others?"

"I will lead the troops!"

But as soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, Zhang Liao shook his head and said seriously: "General, you are wrong!"

"The general is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. It's just a small matter like chasing the rebels and recovering a county. Why should the general be troubled to take action?"

"Wuyuan County is also my hometown. I also have the responsibility to recover Wuyuan County, so let me handle this matter. The general can stay and command the three armies."

Zhang Liao also came from Wuyuan County.

Like Lu Bu, he was recruited by Ding Yuan because of his extraordinary martial arts. The two worked for Ding Yuan together. After Ding Yuan's death, he continued to follow Lu Bu.

"Wenyuan, what are you talking about?"

Lu Bu held Zhang Liao's shoulders and said sincerely, "I am only a common man with courage. You are far better than me in commanding troops."

"In my opinion, it is most appropriate for you to take charge of the central army. Don't argue with me."

Zhang Liao shook his head repeatedly and said modestly: "My little talent is nothing. Your reputation is unparalleled in the world. Only if you stay can you deter Ma Chao. You must know that Bingzhou cannot be lost."

The two of them kept arguing with each other, neither of them giving in.

Just leave everyone aside.

Sima Yi was stunned and looked at Chen Gong in confusion. He didn't know why Lu Bu and Zhang Liao would quarrel over such a trivial matter as pursuing the remnants of the rebels.

Both of them deserve this credit, right?

Especially Lu Bu, who captured Jinyang and recovered Bingzhou this time. With such great achievements, he was sure to get the position of general after returning.

Do you still need to claim the credit for wiping out the remnants of the rebels?
Chen Gong had followed Lu Bu for many years and had long seen the reason for his quarrel with Zhang Liao. He laughed softly and said, "If you don't return home in splendor, it's like walking in brocade clothes at night."

Sima Yi suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this.

Zhang Liao and Lu Bu's hometowns are both Wuyuan County. This time they are going to pursue the enemy and recapture Wuyuan County. Both of them want to take the opportunity to return home in glory.

No, they are not returning home in glory, but to bring honor to their families.

"I shouldn't have mentioned retaking Wuyuan County."

Sima Yi sighed helplessly in his heart.

As the two of them were arguing, Lu Bu got angry first. He slapped Zhang Liao hard on the shoulder and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's find a place to practice. If you can beat me, I'll let you go!"

"You thief Lu Bu! You have no shame!" Zhang Liao also got angry and cursed, "What else can you do besides fighting and killing? If you have the guts, let's discuss the art of war!"

"Besides, you are now Lord Wen and Grand Commandant. Isn't that glorious enough? What's wrong with letting me return to my hometown to show off for once!"

Lu Bu glared and said, "I said no and that means no! I will take Wuyuan County this time. No one can stop me except Your Majesty. I say it!"

"You are the deputy general, and I am the commander-in-chief! As the commander-in-chief, I order you to stay and command the three armies. Do you dare to disobey the military order?"

"You--!" Zhang Liao was furious. Lu Bu was so shameless that he even used his official position to pressure others in order to fight for the opportunity to return home!

Lu Bu was not like this before.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao did not dare to reply, Lu Bu could not help but show a smug look on his face. He turned around and shouted to the Bingzhou Wolf Riders, "My men! Follow me to return home in glory... No, follow me to chase the enemy!"

"drive--!"

Lu Bu kicked the belly of his Red Hare and rode away laughing. A group of wolf riders followed him with strange cries, and the sky was filled with flying snow.

When Zhang Liao saw this scene, he felt jealous and angry, but he could only take over the command with curses and continue to command the army to attack Jinyang City.

Only Huang Zhong was left disheveled in the wind.

A bitter look on his face.

It's his credit.

At his age, I don’t know how many years he has left to live, and when he will be able to accomplish something great.

……

After leaving Jinyang City, Gao Gan and Guo Yuan headed all the way north, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear that the enemy would catch up with them.

"General, are we going to Wuyuan County?"

Guo Yuan asked, panting as he rode his horse, "Wuyuan County is very far away, why not go to Yanmen County? With the strategic location of Yanmen Pass, we will be able to stop the enemy!"

Compared with Wuyuan County, which is far away in the border of Bingzhou, Yanmen County is undoubtedly closer and more suitable for them to garrison.

Gao Gan's face was full of frost. Hearing this, he said, "Staying in Bingzhou is just waiting to die. How long do you think our small force can hold Yanmen Pass?"

"The only way for us to have a chance to make a comeback is to escape from the pass and head to Wuhuan!"

The Wuhuan have been making moves outside the Great Wall and their ambitions are still there. Tian Feng contacted the Wuhuan last time and plans to join forces with them to attack Hebei in the spring of next year.

But with the death of Tian Feng, Ma Chao crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and the loss of Bingzhou, all these plans have now come to nothing.

Thinking of this, Gao Gan couldn't help but sigh in his heart and asked, "How many soldiers do we have left?"

Although he led 5,000 troops away from Jinyang City, many of them chose to leave the team along the way, obviously not wanting to continue following him.

"More than a thousand people escaped, and less than four thousand are left."

Guo Yuan gave a number.

Gao Gan's heart sank. It had only been a short time since they left Jinyang City and more than a thousand people had already left. How many would be left by the time they escaped out of the pass?

The army's morale is low now, and although he knows it, he can do nothing about it. He can only hope to keep as many people as possible.

"Don't worry about it, just keep going!"

……

Lu Bu led three thousand Bingzhou Wolf Riders and pursued Gao Gan and others relentlessly along their escape trail. Along the way, he also encountered many soldiers who had left Gao Gan's team.

These soldiers surrendered as soon as they saw them, and even took the initiative to point out the direction for Gao Gan and others to escape.

And Lu Bu did not kill them, but let them return to Jinyang, and then continued to lead the cavalry to pursue.

However, after chasing for several days, it suddenly started snowing, and he lost track of the enemy.

"Those guys aren't really going to the grassland, are they?"

Lu Bu felt somewhat confused and doubtful.

The grassland is so vast. If Gao Gan and his group really escaped into the grassland, where should he find them?

Then his boast would become a joke. He didn't even need to think about it, Zhang Liao would definitely laugh at him, but the key point was that he couldn't refute it, after all, it was he who forced the troops to pursue.

"General, what should we do now?"

When Cheng Lian and Wei Yue saw that Lu Bu stopped, they rode their horses to surround him. They were both brave generals among the Wolf Riders and Lu Bu's close guards.

Lü Bu frowned and asked Wei Yue, "How far are we from Wuyuan County now?"

Wei Yue replied: "There are still more than 400 miles to go."

Hearing this, Lu Bu coughed lightly and said solemnly: "We have two major tasks this time, one is to pursue the enemy, and the other is to recover Wuyuan County."

"Since we have lost the enemy's trace, let's go and recapture Wuyuan County first. It just so happens that the dry food we brought is almost gone and we need to replenish it."

"promise!"

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue both clasped their fists.

Afterwards, a group of cavalrymen, led by Lu Bu, headed straight for Wuyuan County. Even the wind and snow could not stop them.

Although Wuyuan County is an important border defense area, it is not taken seriously because of its location on the border, and its population is only over 200,000.

The seat of government was in Jiuyuan County.

It took Lu Bu and his entourage less than two days to reach the outskirts of Jiuyuan County. The defenders on the city wall were so frightened by the sight of the 3,000 iron cavalry in majestic armor that they quickly closed the city gates.

After hearing the news, the governor of Wuyuan County rushed to the city wall to check the situation and asked tremblingly: "Whose army are you?"

In a small place like theirs, the most common cavalry they see on a daily basis are Xiongnu cavalry, but the weapons and equipment of the cavalry before them are clearly the elite among the elite.

How could such an army come here?

Lu Bu rode forward and snorted coldly, "I am the Grand Commandant of the dynasty, Duke Wen Lu Bu! I have come to recapture Wuyuan County!"

"Where is the governor of Wuyuan County? Why doesn't he come out quickly to welcome the royal army into the city?"

Upon hearing this, the Wuyuan County Magistrate's face suddenly changed. He felt his heartbeat slow down and wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Duke Wen Lu Bu? !
He took a closer look at the flags outside the city, and sure enough, there were a long list of titles written in black on a white background, including "Grand Marshal, General of the Cavalry, Duke Wen", etc.

The character "吕" is particularly eye-catching!

Although the governor of Wuyuan County lived in a border area all year round, he was not isolated from the news. Naturally, he had heard of Lu Bu's name, so he was shocked.

This is an absolute big shot!
Or the big shots who came out of them!

After confirming Lu Bu's identity, the Wuyuan County Magistrate did not dare to neglect it and quickly ordered: "Quick! Open the city gate quickly!"

Soon, the city gate of Jiuyuan County opened wide.

The governor of Wuyuan led the city's officials out of the city to greet him. When he came to Lü Bu's horse, he bowed respectfully and said, "I didn't know that Lord Wen was leading the royal army to Wuyuan. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please don't blame me, Lord Wen."

At this time, the governor of Wuyuan County was extremely nervous.

After all, Lu Bu had a bad reputation and now he was in a high position and was favored by the emperor. He, a mere prefect, was not worthy enough in front of Lord Wen.

The key point is that Lu Bu represents the emperor and the court!
Looking at the Wuyuan County Magistrate who wanted to bend his waist to the ground and the many officials who were trembling with fear in front of him, Lu Bu felt quite emotional.

Back then, he was just a small knight in Wuyuan County. Not to mention the county magistrate, even the officials under the county magistrate were big figures who were out of his reach.

But now, times have changed and he has achieved success and fame. Not to mention being a county governor, even a provincial governor needs to treat him with respect when he sees him.

"Everyone, get up." Lu Bu put away his inner feelings and said with dignity, "My troops need to rest. Is there enough food and grass in the county?"

The Wuyuan County Magistrate dared not say no, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Enough, enough! I will order people to prepare food and horse feed for the soldiers right away."

"Lord Wen has come from afar. If you don't mind, could you please come to the prefect's residence and have a seat? I can also entertain Lord Wen and fulfill my duty as a county governor."

The governor of Wuyuan County considered his words carefully, fearing that he might displease Lu Bu.

But little did he know that his words were exactly what Lu Bu wanted.

Lu Bu nodded calmly and said, "Jiuyuan County is my hometown. Since you are here, let's go in and take a look."

After saying this, he turned around and said to the three thousand cavalrymen behind him: "All soldiers, listen up! Follow me into the city to rest, and do not disturb the people along the way!"

"Violators will be punished by military law!"

The three thousand cavalrymen responded in unison: "Yes!"

The sound was as loud as the collision of iron and stone.

The uniform response and the momentum of the collision of swords and armor made the Wuyuan County Magistrate and a group of officials shrink their necks in fear.

What kind of elite army is this?
"Enter the city!"

A hint of excitement and excitement flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and his hands holding the reins tightened involuntarily.

Then, accompanied by the Wuyuan County Magistrate and other officials, he led three thousand cavalry through the city gate and entered Jiuyuan County.

The so-called timidity of being close to home.

After Lu Bu entered the city, he looked at the familiar streets, buildings, and the people on the streets, and felt quite nervous.

Even though he had been in the military for many years, he felt that he had not yet fully adapted to his current noble identity, and in essence, he still seemed to be the Wuyuan Ranger.

His arrival also attracted the attention of many people on the street.

"Who is that person riding on the tall horse? The armor on his body is so impressive. Where did he come from?"

"Hiss! Isn't that the county magistrate? Why is he leading the horse?"

"Let me see what's written on that flag. Lord Wen, Grand Marshal, General of the Cavalry, Lü Bu Fengxian... He, he is Lü Bu!"

"What? Lu Bu?!"

"Is it the Lu Bu who killed Dong Zhuo and captured the false emperor Yuan Shu? Why is he coming to our Jiuyuan County?"

"Are you stupid? He is from Jiuyuan County!"

"Red Hare among horses, Lü Bu among men. I've heard that he's from Jiuyuan County, and today I actually saw him alive!"

"Lu Fengxian, Lu Fengxian is back! I used to drink with him!"

"Oh my god, Taiwei! That's one of the three dukes!"

"Such a big shot actually appeared in Jiuyuan County!"

"When he killed the Huns, I knew he would be able to make a name for himself in the future!"

"What a pity! I didn't marry my daughter to him. I regret it so much!"

"Are these soldiers under Lord Wen's command? How majestic!"

"That's what a man should do!"

……

The people quickly recognized Lu Bu's identity and rushed to watch. They were all extremely shocked and exclaimed in amazement.

The county magistrate led the horses and the soldiers led the way.

How majestic this is!
Riding on the Red Hare, Lu Bu felt the gazes of villagers from all directions and listened to their exclamations, feeling extremely comfortable!
After achieving success, return home in glory!
This feeling was something he had never felt before, and it was more refreshing than any time he had ever performed divine service in public. The praise from his fellow townspeople simply made him unable to stop!
I even feel that compared to this, Red Hare and Diao Chan are nothing special.

"Take a turn at the street ahead." Lu Bu said to the governor of Wuyuan County, with a hint of deep nervousness and expectation in his eyes, "I want to go home and take a look."

　It's the end of the month, my dears, please vote for the monthly ticket and participate in the lucky draw.

　　If you don't surrender, the national treasury will be empty. How can I restore the Han Dynasty?

　　V I will give you a monthly ticket and allow you to enter the palace to accompany me!
