Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 290: Lvjia Village? Fengxian Village! Lv Bu’s peak of life!
Wuyuan County, Jiuyuan County.

It has been several days since Lu Bu returned to his hometown. Since the day he returned, he held a grand banquet in Lujia Village to entertain all the villagers.

"My fellow countrymen, please eat and drink as much as you like!"

"Everyone, don't leave until you're drunk!"

Lu Bu laughed heartily while holding up the wine jar. Even though the banquet had been set up for several days, he was still in high spirits.

These few days can be said to be the most glorious days of his life. He has never been so happy in his entire life.

Having fought in the war for half his life, he never thought that he would become the pride of his fellow villagers.

The satisfaction and sense of honor brought to him by the unanimous praise and admiration of his fellow villagers was comparable to an emperor being demoted and his imperial guards bowing their heads!

And these two feelings are completely different.

Lu Bu's heroic words made all the people present cheer, and the head of Lujia Village, who was sitting next to Lu Bu, even smiled with pride.

These days, his excitement and excitement were no less than that of Lu Bu, the person involved.

The village chief glanced at the governor who had been respectfully drinking beside him, smacked his dry lips, and said with emotion: "The kid is really going to be great!"

An old man sitting on the right hand side of the village chief glared at him and said unhappily, "Village chief, Fengxian is now a heavenly official, why are you still calling him a kid? You should call him general!"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you should call him General, you should call him General."

Lu Bu laughed, poured a glass of wine for the village chief and the old man beside him, and said, "Third uncle, fourth uncle, I call you general in front of outsiders, but you can call me Wa Zi or Feng Xian in the village."

When these words were spoken, not only the village chief, but all the villagers felt very cordial and respected Lu Bu even more.

The village chief took a sip of wine, took Lu Bu's hand and said, "When I think back to when you were young and hot-tempered, you often fought with others and caused trouble. You were the one who gave me the most headaches among the young men in the village."

"I never thought that in the blink of an eye, that young boy has become a great general, and the whole village has benefited from it."

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to eat these delicious foods."

For common people like them who had to dig for food in the fields, the fine wine and delicious food at the banquet were something they could only enjoy once in their lifetime.

But thanks to Lu Bu, all the young and old in the village were able to enjoy such good wine and meat, which was a great thing for them.

Hearing what the village chief said, Lu Bu felt a little sad. He put down the wine jar and said with emotion: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I will definitely make our village live a good life."

"When I return this time, I will report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to exempt our village... No, exempt Jiuyuan County from taxes!"

The people were naturally shocked when they heard this.

The village chief also widened his cloudy old eyes and asked, "Please ask the emperor to exempt taxes? Lu Wazi, do you have the ability to do that?"

"You, you can see the Emperor?"

Although everyone knew that Lu Bu held a high position, in the hearts of the people, the emperor and the Son of Heaven were high above and out of reach.

They could never imagine that Lu Bu could actually meet the emperor and ask him to exempt their taxes!

"The old man doesn't know."

The governor of Wuyuan County was also drinking at the banquet. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Lord Wen is now an important official in the court and is deeply trusted by the emperor. Otherwise, how could he hold the position of Grand Commandant and control the troops of the world?"

"Don't say that Duke Wen is only asking the emperor to exempt the taxes of Jiuyuan County. Even if he wants to exempt the taxes of the entire Wuyuan County, the emperor will agree to Duke Wen's request."

After the Wuyuan County Magistrate finished speaking, other officials at the banquet and the heads of local noble families in Jiuyuan County also followed suit and offered flattery.

"Lord Wen is the most powerful general in the world, and has made great military achievements. Who in the world today can compare to Lord Wen?"

"Defeating Yuan Shu and defeating Yuan Shao, Lord Wen is truly a great general!"

"This time, Lord Wen followed His Majesty's order to attack the Yuan thief rebels. When he returns, he will definitely be appointed as a general!"

"Not only that, Duke Wen's daughter also became the emperor's concubine and was named a noble lady. This shows how much His Majesty favors Duke Wen!"

Everyone talked at once, praising Lu Bu non-stop.

All the people were stunned after hearing this.

They didn't understand what was said about defeating Yuan Shu, crushing Yuan Shao, or being named general. All these combined were not as shocking as the last sentence.

Lu Bu's daughter actually became the emperor's concubine!

"Oh my god..."

The village chief was so shocked that he almost lost his seat. He stammered and asked Lu Bu, "Lu boy, the emperor married your daughter, so doesn't that mean the emperor is your son-in-law?"

"You have become a royal relative?!"

Royal relatives and the emperor's father-in-law.

In the eyes of the common people, these two titles are much more terrifying than the position of Taiwei, because he is the emperor's father-in-law!
This was something they simply couldn't even imagine!
Lu Bu was extremely happy. He had wanted to show off this for a long time, but no one had mentioned it before, so he didn't feel comfortable saying it himself.

He now knows that it is better to raise it passively than to raise it actively.

The effects of these two are completely different.

Now that someone had finally brought this up, he felt extremely relieved and laughed heartily, "There are many concubines in your majesty's harem. My daughter is just a noble lady, nothing, nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, an official said with a smile: "She is a noble lady now, but when Lord Wen becomes more favored by the emperor in the future, she may become the queen."

Someone else continued, "Yes, yes. By then, Duke Wen's grandson will be the crown prince and will become the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

The two of them sang in unison and cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.

Such words are a bit beyond the rules and disrespectful to the emperor.

But the emperor is far away, and in a remote place like Jiuyuan County, who would care what they say?
Besides, Lu Bu was a favorite of the emperor, so it would definitely be right to speak well of him and flatter him.

The village chief and the people were shocked again when they heard this.

"Oh my God, Fengxian is really a big shot now. Not only has he become such a high official, but he has also become the father-in-law of the emperor!"

"If Fengxian's grandson becomes emperor in the future, then our Lujia Village will be considered to have produced a dragon!"

"Didn't you hear what those two officials said just now? Fengxian's daughter will definitely become the queen in the future. Fengxian can just wait to enjoy a peaceful life!"

"Fengxian is so lucky!"

"Alas, my daughter actually liked Fengxian very much in her early years, but I was blind at that time and forced her to marry a butcher. I really regret it now."

"Since I was little, I thought Fengxian was a promising kid! Hey, guess what, he really is promising!"

"Of course not. Fengxian has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks very rich and powerful!"

"That useless kid of mine, who is the same age as Fengxian, is still idle. If he can achieve even a fraction of Fengxian's potential, I will die with my eyes closed."

Many people looked at Lu Bu with envy.

For them, being a royal relative is more prestigious than being a high-ranking official, because that means they are relatives of the emperor!

No matter how high an official holds, can he be more powerful than the emperor?

Moreover, to be an official one must have ability, either the ability to read or the ability to have military force, while to be a royal relative one only needs to enjoy wealth and glory.

"Where, where, hahaha!"

Although Lu Bu spoke modestly, his hearty laughter showed how happy he was at the moment.

"Lord Wen, I have something else to report."

The governor of Wuyuan County stepped forward to fill his glass with wine, and then took the opportunity to say: "In order to show respect to Lord Wen, I have taken the initiative to change the name of Lujia Village to Fengxian Village, named after Lord Wen's character, and plan to erect a monument to commemorate his achievements." "Please don't blame me, Lord Wen."

He originally wanted to rename Jiuyuan County, but he felt that it would have a bad influence if the news got out, and it would appear that he was too flattering, so he decided to rename Lujia Village.

This move was of course to please Lu Bu, because if he could get on this big ship, his future career would surely be smooth sailing.

"Fengxian Village?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu was overjoyed. If the village was named after his courtesy name and a monument was erected to commemorate his achievements, his name and deeds would be passed down forever in Jiuyuan County!

Why hadn't he thought of this idea before?
Lü Bu looked at the governor of Wuyuan County and found him pleasing to the eye. However, he scolded him, "The name of Lujia Village has been used for hundreds of years. How can it change just because of me? This is simply nonsense!"

As he said this he slammed the table heavily.

The village chief nearby saw Lü Bu scolding the governor of Wuyuan County and quickly advised: "Lü boy, the governor has good intentions, and there is nothing wrong with changing the name. Why are you so angry?"

Other villagers and common people also began to persuade him.

"That's right. This way people will know that our Lujia Village is your hometown, Fengxian, and everyone in our village will benefit from it!"

"I think Fengxian Village sounds better than Lujia Village."

"Fengxian, just agree to it."

"I think Jiuyuan County should also be renamed!"

"This is an overstepping of authority. Changing the name of Jiuyuan County requires permission from the imperial court."

After being persuaded by the people, Lu Bu reluctantly agreed and said to the governor of Wuyuan County with a stern face: "This will not happen again!"

The governor of Wuyuan County looked frightened on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.

He knew that he had boarded the big ship.

After this incident, the atmosphere of the whole banquet became more lively. Lu Bu's mood was obviously better than before, and he even asked the governor of Wuyuan County to join him in drinking.

However, at this moment, Cheng Lian came running and reported to Lu Bu: "General, we have found the Xiongnu army thirty miles away, about five thousand people!"

"Heading towards Jiuyuan County!"

With just one sentence, the noisy banquet suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

By the time everyone reacted, they couldn't help but look horrified.

"The Huns are coming! They are here to plunder again!"

"Hide now!"

"What are you afraid of? Isn't Fengxian here?"

"Yes! We have Fengxian here!"

"Fengxian killed many Xiongnu people when he was young. With Fengxian here, we are not afraid of those Xiongnu dogs!"

For ordinary people, the Huns who broke into the pass from time to time to plunder were very scary, especially those villages, which would basically be massacred if they encountered the Huns.

Sometimes even some counties cannot avoid it.

However, many people still thought of Lu Bu first and turned their eyes to him. After all, Lu Bu was once famous for killing the Huns, and he also brought a large army back this time.

"These bastards! How bold!"

Lu Bu's face was extremely gloomy. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily to Cheng Lian: "All troops, assemble! I want to make sure these Xiongnu dogs never return!"

Upon hearing this, the governor of Wuyuan County quickly advised: "Calm down, Lord Wen! The Xiongnu have 5,000 soldiers, but you only brought 3,000 soldiers back this time. You don't have as many as them!"

"In my humble opinion, Lord Wen should lead the people back to the county, and we will rely on the city wall..."

"joke!!"

Before the Wuyuan County Governor could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Bu, who sneered, "They are just Huns. I killed them like butchering dogs. They just ran away when they saw me!"

"Don't mention that I have three thousand elite cavalrymen at my disposal. Even if I only have one thousand, I can kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

"It seems that I have been away from Wuyuan County for many years, and these bastards have forgotten my reputation. Today is a good opportunity for them to remember it again!"

It was a rare opportunity for him to return home in glory, but this group of blind Huns came to disturb his mood. How could he vent his anger if he didn't kill them all!
Hide? The ones who should hide are those Huns!
Lu Bu said to the people present: "My fellow villagers, just watch me wipe out all these invading enemies!"

After saying that, he took the Fang Tian Hua Ji from Wei Yue who was standing beside him, then mounted the Red Hare that Cheng Lian had brought, and left in a majestic manner.

The prefect of Wuyuan County had no choice but to return to Jiuyuan County with other officials and many common people.

……

Lu Bu quickly assembled three thousand cavalry.

As for the many people, they had already retreated to Jiuyuan County. Many of them flocked to the city walls, looking at the army gathering outside the city with worry.

No one knew whether Lu Bu could resist or not. After all, Lu Bu had only 3,000 men under his command, while the Huns had 5,000, so he was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Not long after, the earth shook.

In the distance, I saw a large black army rushing towards Jiuyuan County. The mighty power was frightening.

"Here they come! It's the Hun army!"

Someone swallowed and said in a trembling voice.

In the past, the Huns’ troops that entered the pass to plunder had no more than a thousand people at most. This time, there were only five thousand. How could ordinary people have ever seen such a scene?

An army of five thousand strong, the momentum is incredible.

The prefect of Wuyuan County looked into the distance. He had a broad vision and he always felt that this Hun army seemed a little unusual and different from ordinary Hun armies.

After squinting for a long time, his face suddenly changed and he said in a lost voice: "This, this is Wang Tingjun!"

"They are the army of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King!"

The Xiongnu royal court army is different from ordinary Xiongnu troops. Its equipment and combat effectiveness far exceed those of ordinary Xiongnu cavalry, and are comparable to the elite troops of the Han army!
After figuring this out, the Wuyuan County Magistrate suddenly became anxious and shouted at the top of his voice: "Lord Wen! Quickly retreat back to the city!"

"This is the Xiongnu Royal Court Army, you can't defeat them!"

If it was an ordinary Hun army, he still believed that Lu Bu could defeat it with 3,000 to 5,000 troops, but this was the Hun royal court army, and they were outnumbered, so they would undoubtedly be defeated in a head-on confrontation!
If anything happened to Lu Bu in Jiuyuan County, the Emperor would certainly punish him, and his official career would be over!
"Wang Tingjun?"

Lu Bu heard the Wuyuan County Governor's shout, but he was not afraid. Instead, a fierce fighting spirit rose in his eyes, and he smiled grimly: "It's not like I haven't killed before!"

"I am fighting against Wang Ting's army!"

He rode his horse to the front of the battle formation and shouted to the three thousand cavalrymen behind him: "My men! Kill all these Xiongnu dogs! Charge with me!"

"kill--!!"

Lu Bu took the lead, and three thousand cavalrymen charged with him, like a steel torrent, their momentum was even more shocking than that of the five thousand Hun troops!
The killing intent is overwhelming!
At this moment in the Xiongnu royal army, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Qubei saw the Han army coming from a distance, and the soaring momentum suddenly made his face change drastically.

"Oh no! They misunderstood!"

"The whole army stops advancing!"

Qu Bei quickly issued an order, and rode his horse to the front of the army. He dismounted, waved his hands, and shouted in standard Han Chinese: "Don't charge! Don't charge!"

"We have no hostility! No hostility!"

"Respected General of the Han Dynasty, we are here on the orders of the Xiongnu Chanyu to present Gao Gan's head."
