Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163 Tianshui 4
Chapter 160 Three

"Hahaha, General Lu Bu, it seems that I, Lu Zhi, have underestimated the general. I thought the general was just a greedy villain, but on the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Tianshui, I found that I know a brand new Lu Bu, but that’s all. Today you really let me see your bearing. I think you Lu Bu’s army is only tens of thousands, but you dare to face a strong enemy of 20 alone. Even if The old man did not dare to fight with such an army ratio when facing the Yellow Turban Army with low combat power. The general not only dared to fight, but also achieved a lot of victories so far. What is even more rare is you, even though there is victory in the Before, you were neither arrogant nor impetuous, but worried about the people everywhere, I really don't see what kind of person you are." Lu Zhi said in one breath how much it is worth, and finally closed his mouth and took a sip of tea.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu Zhi is absurd. Lu Bu is just a vulgar person. He just wants to do something for the people in this troubled world. It is as extraordinary as you said." Lu Bu laughed and said, Feeling a little uneasy, since what he did made Lu Zhi see the clues, then there is no guarantee that Li Ru in Luoyang would not see anything. Thinking of this, Lu Bu became a little uneasy again.

"How could someone like you behead his adoptive father Ding Yuan with his own hands? There must be something hidden in this. If the general has time, Lu Zhidao would like to hear the story behind this knowledge." Lu Zhi stared at Lu Bu , with an expression that Yao sees through Lu Bu.

"Hahaha, sir, are you really unwilling to agree to my proposal?" Seeing that Lu Zhi skipped the topic and talked about himself, Lu Bu hurriedly changed the topic back.At the same time, he felt that it was very dangerous just now. Lu Zhi took advantage of himself not to be caught, and suddenly changed the subject, almost revealing the details of Lu Bu. While Lu Bu was secretly startled, he was also a little wary of Lu Zhi. In addition to being upright and upright, Zhi also has an exquisite mind, but he seldom intrigues with others and does not let the world find out.

"Hahaha, since General Lu Bu has something difficult to say, I won't ask any more questions. As for the general who said he would handle civil affairs for Tianshui City, I can help the general take care of it. Don't worry, general, I will clear those Longxi people before nightfall. The people are all properly arranged." Lu Zhi laughed, and finally took over the important task of Tianshui civil affairs.

"So, I'm relieved. Lu Bu is here to thank you sir on behalf of the people of Tianshui and Longxi." Lu Bu finally felt a stone in his heart fall to the ground, and bowed to Lu Zhi thoughtfully.

"Why do you have to be polite, general? It is Lu Zhi's honor to be able to contribute to the common people." Lu Zhi said lightly.

"By the way, sir, this is General Cheng Lian. He is a native of Tianshui. If you have anything to do, you can ask him to do it." Lu Bu called Cheng Lian and said in front of Lu Zhi.It must be that Lu Zhi is only one person, with no power or power, and he is not familiar with the situation in Tianshui. Of course, he can't start his work alone, so Lu Bu assigned Cheng Lian to Lu Zhi. Who made Cheng Lian a native of Tianshui? The other generals were familiar with the situation, and with Cheng Lian as his follower, Lu Zhi's work could be carried out smoothly.With Cheng Lian's current position in Lu Bu's army, the power he can mobilize is limited.It also prevented Lu Zhi from using Cheng Lian's power to control the full power of Tianshui City.Now Lu Bu, as the general of the three armies, is responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of people, and sometimes he has to calculate and think more.As the protagonist of everyone, Lu Bu may not know how to fight or internal affairs, but he must learn to calculate and master power.

"I have met Mr. Lu Zhi, Cheng Lian." When Cheng Lian saw Lu Zhi, he also saluted very politely. He must have been a man who had been a general of Zhonglang. Cheng Lian is just a low-ranking general now. Zhi naturally wants to be polite.

"Hehehe, it's really scary in the next life, good." Lu Zhi also praised Cheng Lian when he saw Cheng Lian.

"Since everything is in order, Lu Bu will leave now." Lu Bu had just got up to leave when he suddenly thought of something else, and continued: "This time, Lu Bu went to Longyou and saw with his own eyes the governor of Longyou, Lord Deng Fan. The city of Longyou and the common people died for their country. Lu Bu was not talented, but he couldn't bear his body being insulted by the Qiang people, so he was snatched back late at night, and he was going to be buried in Tianshui again to comfort his spirit in heaven. I don’t know anything about funerals, so I’ll have to ask Mr. Lu Zhi to do a lot of work.” Lu Bu was about to leave when he suddenly thought about Deng Fan’s corpse. Originally, Deng Fan’s corpse was only used to gain the favor of the Deng family, but since The corpse had already been transported to Tianshui, so it was time to give full play to its remaining value and use this opportunity to show off its integrity.It's a pity that Lu Bu didn't know much about funerals, so he could only ask Lu Zhi for advice.

"What? You snatched back the body of Governor Deng Fan? That's great. As a prefect who died fighting against foreign invaders, Deng Fan deserves the treatment he deserves, but you should discuss this matter with their family. Let’s see if they are planning to bury Deng Fan on the spot? Or transport him back to his hometown for burial, usually people have to return to their roots.” When Lu Zhi heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, naturally it was because Deng Fan could return to the big man after his death He was happy, but he couldn't help reminding Lu Bu not to arrange Deng Fan's body without authorization, otherwise his family would be angry.

"Well, I haven't seen their family members yet, so it seems that we have to wait to discuss this matter." Lu Bu said with some disappointment.

"Speaking of the prefect, the general's handling of the prefect of Tianshui is a bit inappropriate. Although in times of war, you can follow the power of everything, but the prefect is a high-ranking official in the court. Even if there are all kinds of mistakes, it's not your turn to kill Lu Bu. How can you convince the people with such disregard for the laws of the country?" At this point, Lu Zhi brought up the matter of Lu Bu beheading Wang Gui, the prefect of Tianshui.Although Lu Zhi said that it was difficult for Lu Bu to convince the public by doing so, Lu Bu understood that what Lu Zhi was protecting was the dignity of the imperial court, not for Lu Bu's consideration.

"Uh, it's true that Wan Sheng did something wrong with this matter, but Wan Sheng also did it for the stability of Tianshui. If Wan Sheng didn't kill Wang Gui, the people of Tianshui would abandon their homes and flee like Wang Gui. Was it taken away by the Qiang people?" Lu Bu didn't want to argue with Lu Wei about these things, so he found an excuse.

"You are a rare general for a big man. You must pay attention to these things. Although Dong Zhuo is gaining power for a while, he will be wiped out by people of insight sooner or later. The big man will return to the rule of law one day. You can't do anything recklessly and ruin it at the same time. My own future." The recording ended with a warning to Lu Bu.

It's just that Lu Bu's remarks about Lu Zhi are a bit ridiculous. It must be a troubled time now. It is only a matter of time before the great Han subjugates the country. Just a laughing stock.

"Sir, Lu Bu will remember what you said. Lu Bu is on military affairs, so I will leave." Lu Bu didn't want to discuss this issue with Lu Zhi, so he got up and left. As for Cheng Lian, he was left by Lu Bu to Lu Zhi. In the future, Lu Zhi and Cheng Lian will be busy with civil matters.

"General Qi, there are two people outside the door begging to see them, they say they are from the Deng family." As soon as Lu Bu returned to the prefect's mansion, soldiers came to report.

"Oh, please hurry up." Lu Bu knew immediately that it was the Deng family who had arrived. Lu Bu spent so much energy to get Deng Fan's body from Longyou, isn't it just to establish a good relationship with the Deng family? Now that the Deng family is here, can Lu Bu be unhappy?

Although Lu Bu asked the soldiers to go out to invite him, he couldn't help running out. He saw a man dressed as a commoner who was Deng Zhong whom Lu Bu had seen, and beside Deng Zhong a woman holding a child was Deng Zhong. Shi.

"Mrs. Deng's family is here, please cook inside." Looking at the appearance of these two people, Lu Bu knew that they had just arrived in Tianshui, so he hurriedly asked his servants to wait and prepare the meals, and then Lu Bu was about to take them there.I think this family came to Tianshui yesterday afternoon, and at this time today, they must be very hungry.

"General, I heard that you brought our lord's body back, but is it true?" Upon seeing Lu Bu, Deng did not speak immediately, but Deng Zhong on the side spoke first.

"That's right. I saw that Governor Deng was loyal, and I couldn't bear his body being insulted by foreigners, so I snatched it back to comfort Governor Deng's spirit in heaven." Lu Bu's words were righteous and precise.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. Deng Zhong is willing to work hard for the General, to repay the General's kindness." Deng Zhong hurriedly knelt down and said to Lu Bu.

"My concubine, Mrs. Deng, thank you general for bringing back my concubine's husband's body, so that he can rest in peace. I am willing to be an ox or a horse in the next life to repay the general." Deng also knelt down and said.

"Please, please, there is no need to be too polite. Lu Bu just respects Deng Taishou and does what he can. Why should you be so polite? You should use some food for your hard work. You are not hungry, and this child is not hungry. It's time to be hungry." Lu Bu said with a glance at Deng Ai who was still in Deng's arms.

"Hey, this child is also suffering. He lost his father when he was born, and he has suffered so much. I haven't seen him cry since yesterday. I don't know. Is this child scared out of his wits? " Deng looked at the child in his hand and said helplessly.After speaking, the two entered the side hall under the leadership of Lu Bu.

At this time, meals were prepared on the table. Although life was not easy during the war, the war must have not reached Tianshui, so the dishes on the table were quite rich.Deng Zhong and Deng Shi worked hard all the way, and they didn't have any scruples at this time, so they let go of their hands and feet and started eating. Deng Shi's eyes filled with tears, and he couldn't help adding food to Deng Ai.The little guy is eating very vigorously, it must be a child, the feeling of hunger is more obvious than that of an adult.
