Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Hou Cheng delivered to the door
When Lu Bu left the big tent and came to his own residence.Found Song Xian and Wei Xu.They were already waiting for Lu Bu to come back in Lu Bu's military tent, and there was a dark-complexioned man beside the two of them, but this man was talking to the two of them, Talun.

I only heard the man saying to Song Xian and Wei Xu: "Brother, you must help me this time. Who would have thought that after the prefect ran away, all the officials in Wuyuan County would also be shocked. I ran away on my own. And I, the city gate official who was not a bullshit, has become the biggest official in the city. Now that the Huns have captured Wuyuan County, I have become the one who lost the city. Commander, do you think I have been wronged too much?"

After finishing speaking, the man smiled again, and said to the two of them with a shy face: "I heard that you two have a good relationship with the new Mr. Ding Taishou. You have to say a few words for me later, It’s best to transfer me to his subordinates, so that the three of us can take care of each other, right?”

Hearing this, Lu Bu had vaguely guessed who the person who was talking to Song Xian and Wei Xu was.Except for Hou Cheng who betrayed Lu Bu together with Song Xianwei Xu in history, who else could there be?Lu Bu thought to himself: "No wonder these three people in history colluded with each other to betray Lu Bu because Hou Cheng was beaten by Lu Bu. It turns out that the relationship between the three is so good."It seemed that Lu Bu was guarding against the three of them, and the three of them should not be allowed to hold too much power at the same time, otherwise they might really betray Lu Bu and go away. '

As Lu Bu was thinking, he had already walked into his military tent.

Seeing Lv Bu come in, Wei Xu and Song Xian immediately pulled Hou Cheng who had just finished complaining, stood up and saluted Lv Bu, "My lord, you are back, do you have anything to explain to the prefect?"

When Song Xian and Wei Xu asked such a question, Lu Bu already understood that they wanted to find out if Ding Yuan had any intentions to punish Hou Cheng, the highest officer guarding Wuyuan County, the city gate official. '

But Lu Bu didn't pick up on it, pointing at Hou Cheng who was next to the two of them, knowingly asked: "Who is this person, and why is he in my military tent?"

As soon as Hou Cheng heard that there was a lot of dissatisfaction in Lv Bu's words, he stepped forward and knelt down in front of Lv Bu and kowtowed: "The villain's name is Hou Cheng, and he is here to ask you to help me."

Lu Bu thought to himself, there is no problem in saving you, it depends on whether Hou Cheng is acquainted with you.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu pretended to be surprised and said: "Since you are friends of Wei Xu and Song Xian, you can tell me what you want. For the sake of the two of them, as long as it is something that I, Lu Bu, can do, I will definitely not refuse. of."

When Hou Cheng heard Lu Bu's words, he immediately became overjoyed, and said, "Master, this matter is serious. Although this matter is extremely difficult for me, for you, it is nothing more than a matter of effort. Please let me make the decision for you."

Then, Hou Chengcheng told his unlucky experience again, and continued to plead with Lu Bu: "Young master, although the villain has come to Ding Taishou's army, but he is always in a state of anxiety, and I ask you to be the master of the villain. The villain's innocence."

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu looked at Hou Cheng, and then said: "This matter is not big, but it is not small. Now that Wuyuan County is lost, someone has to shoulder such a big responsibility." .”

When Hou Cheng heard that someone from above needs to be responsible for the loss of Wuyuan County, his expression turned pale, and he said: "Young master, the villain really didn't have such a big fault. How can the villain bear such a big responsibility?" .Isn’t this asking for the villain’s head?”

Lu Bu saw that Hou Cheng was terribly frightened, so he said softly: "That's right, no matter how much you are punished for such a big responsibility, you, a small city gate official, can't be punished, unless you opened the gate. , let the Huns in.”

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Hou Chengcai calmed down a little, and said, "I ask you to make the decision for me, my lord."

Lu Bu looked at Hou Cheng's performance with helplessness.He thought to himself: "Why is this Hou Cheng so unscrupulous? I've frightened him for a long time here by pretending, just waiting for him to show his loyalty. Why hasn't this idiot expressed anything yet?"

In fact, this matter is just a trivial matter in Lu Bu.Although Ding Yuan was unwilling to take the responsibility of losing the city, he shouldered it himself.But how much crime can a small city gate official help Ding Yuan share?But one more is not more, one less is not much.

The key is why did Lu Bu help Hou Cheng?Lu Bu's request is very simple, as long as Hou Cheng recognizes Lu Bu as the master, Lu Bu will naturally settle this trivial matter.But if Hou Cheng didn't know a person, there was nothing he could do to help him.

Hou Cheng hadn't reacted at this time, but Wei Xu, who was on the side, had already seen Lu Bu's thoughts.Wei Xu took a step forward and said to Lv Bu: "My lord, Song Xian and I used to be Hou Cheng's colleagues. We all know Hou Cheng's martial arts ability very well. Hou Cheng is a rare hero in our Wuyuan County. Gentleman. Now that the Huns are rampant, the young master is employing people. From the point of view of a villain, the young master might as well accept Hou Cheng as a guard by his side. In this way, other people will be bad, and there is no need to pursue Hou Cheng. In this way As soon as you come, the young master got a little help, Hou Cheng can also escape, I wonder what the young master thinks?"

After hearing Wei Xu's words, Lu Bu was overjoyed.He thought to himself, "It's still Wei Xu who can see what I'm thinking." On the surface, Lu Bu made a noncommittal look.Lu Bu couldn't take the initiative to do this kind of thing, Hou Cheng had to bring it to his door.Only in this way can Lu Bu appear in front of Hou Cheng as a savior, and Hou Cheng will naturally bow to Lu Bu in the future.

After Wei Xu said these words, he thought it was time for Lu Bu to make a move.In any case, a virtuous Mingzhu is always thirsty for talent.But seeing Lu Bu thinking about it there, he didn't show any meaning at all.

Wei Xu had no choice but to turn his head and give Hou Cheng a wink.

Seeing the wink from Wei Xu, Hou Cheng sighed helplessly, and said to Lu Bu: "The villain Hou Cheng is willing to be a bodyguard under the young master, and please take him in, and give the villain a chance to serve the young master."

It turned out that before Lu Bu came back.Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Song Xian have already discussed it.Use the trick of taking refuge in Lu Bu to help Hou Cheng avoid disaster.It's just that all three of them felt that Lu Bu was too young to accomplish great things.So I want Lu Bu to take the initiative to invite Hou Cheng to join. In this way, although Hou Cheng is Lu Bu's subordinate, his status will naturally be much higher than other subordinates.Compared with the door-to-door guests who must be invited, there is still a big difference between the door-to-door guests.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Lu Bu's city is so deep.Even if Wei Xu made it clear, he had no intention of recruiting Hou Cheng.As a last resort, Hou Cheng can only be a cheap product delivered to his door.Hou Cheng must save his life before he can pursue status.

At this time, Lu Bu was actually thinking of another matter.Lv Bu's current effective subordinates are only: Bu Dugen, Wei Xu, and Song Xian.Among them, Budugen is a foreigner, and Lu Bu cannot reuse it.For the remaining Wei Xu and Song Xian, if Hou Cheng is added.The relationship between these three people is so good, so if the three of them add up, I am afraid that I, the protagonist, will give them three points.How can Lu Bu mess around after that?

However, Lu Bu couldn't refuse the general who was sent to the door.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu smiled at the loyal Hou Cheng in front of him, and said, "You made a wise choice today, and you will know how correct this choice is in the future."

As he spoke, Lu Bu patted Hou Cheng on the shoulder and helped him up.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Lu Bu said seriously: "The prefect ordered me to go back to Jiuyuan County, where I can recruit troops and buy horses, and then come back to fight the Huns. I am going to take Hou Cheng back to Wuyuan County. Song Xianhe Wei Xu, you two split up and go to gather the soldiers who escaped from Wuyuan County. We will gather here four days later."
