Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 190

Chapter 190
"Haha, General Niu Fu was joking. Lu Bu is just relying on the prestige of a general. Otherwise, there is no such honor." Niu Fu is a powerful figure under Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu is still very concerned about it.

"General Lu Bu is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He really has the demeanor of a general. Let's go see the general right now." Seeing that Lu Bu was polite, Niu Fu nodded and didn't say much.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's carriage had already driven over and stopped on the way the army was advancing.Dong Zhuo sat in it, accompanied by all civil and military officials, appearing to be of high authority and mighty.Seeing Dong Zhuo's chariot approaching, Niu Fu jumped off his horse first, and walked to the front of Dong Zhuo's chariot. Seeing Niu Fu's actions, Lu Bu also dismounted, and all the generals behind him jumped off their horses one by one. , stand aside.

"Your subordinates come back, how dare you welcome the general from afar, you are really lucky." Niu Fu came to Dong Zhuo, bowed first, then got up and said.

"I met my father when I came back from an expedition. This time, my son led an army and relied on his father's prestige to fight against the stubborn enemy. In the end, he survived his life and defeated the enemy. Please give me instructions." After dismounting from his horse, Lu Bu quickly stepped forward and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Hahaha, I have heard about your achievements as a father. Yes, you have not dishonored your father's reputation. As a father, you have been reported to the emperor, and you have been named Zhonglang general and Niufu as Hussar general. You must cooperate sincerely, and assist the father to rule the world." Seeing Lu Bu and Niu Fu approaching to meet, Dong Zhuo stretched himself, got out of the car and rushed to pat the two on the shoulders and said.

"Niu Fu thanked the general for his training, and Niu Fu will definitely help the general to rule the world with all his heart." When Niu Fu heard that he was going to be a general of hussars, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to Dong Zhuo and said.

"Thank you father for your appreciation. I will do my best to calm down the world for my father." Lu Bu also said in a serious manner.

"Okay, with the help of the two of you, I, Dong Zhuo, will be able to wipe out the feudal lords of the world." Dong Zhuo said satisfied with Lu Bu and Niu Fu's answers. "Come on, you two will drive into the city with me." Dong Zhuo stretched out two hands, grabbed Niu Fu's and Lu Bu's respectively, and drove towards his car.

Afterwards, Lu Bu and Niu Fu returned to the city with Dong Zhuo in the same car, and those high-ranking officials in the imperial court followed behind the chariot, walking step by step. The bustling common people are already packed to the brim.

"Look who's in that car, it's so beautiful." Someone commented.

"Those three people are extraordinary people. The one in the middle is the great general of the dynasty, the emperor's father Dong Zhuo, and the two next to him are the son and son-in-law of the great general Dong Zhuo. They are all extraordinary people." The good guy said.

"Nonsense, I only know that the emperor's surname is Liu. How could this general whose surname is Dong be the emperor's father? Besides, you said that one of the two people next to you is Dong Zhuo's son. Then the son of General Dong is the emperor." Is that right?" Someone commented in bewilderment.

"Don't talk nonsense, you will be killed if you talk nonsense." Someone reminded, only then did these people stop talking?
"The imperial decree has arrived. Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, and Lu Bu have received the decree." Everyone came to the gate of the city and was accepting the envy of the common people when a shrill voice came, and immediately after, a group of eunuchs appeared in front of them. The eunuch holding a golden imperial decree in his hand.

"Hahaha, Li Ru is still quick to do things. You see, the imperial decree has arrived. Let's go to receive the imperial decree." Seeing the eunuch appearing in front of him, Dong Zhuo knew that Li Ru's affairs had been completed.

So Lu Bu and Niu Fu, led by Dong Zhuo, got out of the car and rushed to the front of the eunuchs.The positions of the three of them just formed a character shape at this time, with Dong Zhuo standing in front, and Lu Bu and Niu Fu standing behind Dong Zhuo.

"Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, and Lu Bu accept the order." Seeing that the three of them did not kneel down, the eunuch delivering the imperial order called again in a shrill voice.

Originally, Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, and Lu Bu were going to kneel to receive the emperor's imperial decree.However, Dong Zhuo has the power and is the sub-father of the emperor, so there is no need to kneel. There must be no reason for a father to kneel to a son.As for Niu Fu and Lu Bu being Dong Zhuo's subordinates, Dong Zhuo didn't kneel, so Niu Fu and Lu Bu naturally didn't kneel either.In this way, the eunuch in charge of delivering the decree had to remind him again.Seeing the imperial decree arrived, Dong Zhuo and the other three did not kneel down. The Han officials and common people who were watching outside were all sobbing, and some people had already started whispering to each other.

"Lü Bu, captain of the ministers and cavalry, accepts the order." Seeing something strange in the scene, Lu Bu knelt down first.Then he persuaded Dong Zhuo: "Father, all the civil and military officials and the common people are here, so father should not let people eat."

Lu Bu's kneeling made many civil and military officials relax for a while, already tense.Although Dong Zhuo never cared much about Emperor Han, as long as Dong Zhuo didn't point out the rebellion, officials like them still had room to maneuver. At least their lives were guaranteed if they didn't oppose Dong Zhuo.But if Dong Zhuo turned against Emperor Han now, maybe Dong Zhuo would not do anything to the emperor, but officials like them had to make a choice between Emperor Han and Dong Zhuo, and for many officials, this choice would be deadly.

"What my son said is very true, you accept the order." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo said lightly.

"Minister, Niu Fu accepts the order." As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Niu Fu hurriedly nodded and knelt down and said loudly.

Following Lu Bu and Niu Fu's kneeling, all the officials and civilians had already knelt down, and only Dong Zhuo was left at the gate of Luoyang City, standing with a few eunuchs on the opposite side.

"Okay, let's start reading the imperial decree. Don't make the people wait any longer. All the soldiers are tired all the way, and they are about to enter the city." Seeing everyone kneeling down, Dong Zhuo said indifferently, as if the imperial decree was nothing more than a piece of cake to him. It's just a show.

"Yes, General." The eunuch listened to Dong Zhuo's words and hurriedly agreed.The eunuch could fully understand Dong Zhuo's refusal to kneel. Dong Zhuo must have never knelt down when he saw the emperor, let alone the fact that it was an imperial decree.Moreover, the reason why Dong Zhuo read the imperial decree in broad daylight today is to show his prestige to the world.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: General Dong Zhuo, in charge of the court, quelled the Qiang chaos in the northwest, made outstanding contributions, and was promoted to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Niu Fu sat in Chang'an, commanded it, guarded one side for the Han, and was promoted to the general of the hussars. Lü Bu led the army to fight against the enemy, with outstanding military exploits and unparalleled bravery, he was promoted to General of Zhonglang, I respect you." The eunuch read out the imperial decree word by word.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Minister, take the decree and thank you." Lu Bu and Niu Fu hurriedly knelt down and fell to the ground.

"Well, give it to me." Dong Zhuo didn't salute, but just said hello lightly, and stretched out his hand, expressing that he would accept the order.

"Congratulations, prime minister, congratulations to the two generals." Facing Dong Zhuo's request for an imperial decree, the eunuch could only hand it over helplessly, and congratulated him flatteringly.

"You two generals, let's go back to the car. I've already set up a banquet in the mansion to welcome you two. We won't return until we're drunk." Dong Zhuo ignored the flattering eunuch, but turned around and pulled Niu Fu and Lu Bu , ignore everyone.

After Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, he was arrogant and arrogant. Many scholars in the past were high-spirited and unwilling to associate with Dong Zhuo. This can be regarded as a silent protest.It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is not only good-looking, but also a little arty, always likes to compare his relationship with these noble people.The status of scholars must be very high in the Han Dynasty. Even if a person becomes an emperor like Liu Bang, if there is no group of scholars around, singing praises will feel very beautiful and face-saving.What's more, Dong Zhuo, when Dong Zhuo's power was in the court and no one could match him, Dong Zhuo hoped to be recognized and even praised by the scholars. Unfortunately, the truly famous scholars in the court did not give Dong Zhuo face.Dong Zhuo had no choice but to order that whenever Dong Zhuo entertained the ministers of the court, he must come in person, otherwise he would not give him Dong Zhuo face and look down on Dong Zhuo. This is how the situation improved.It is certain that although most officials cherish their reputations, they cherish their lives even more, and are unwilling to oppose Dong Zhuo.So this time when Dong Zhuo held a banquet, many people still came.

"General Lu Bu, come, I, Hua Xiong, offer you a toast, and congratulate you for your great service in killing Beigong Boyu." Hua Xiong, holding a large bowl, grabbed a wine jar, and said in front of Lu Bu.

"Hahaha, thank you General Hua Xiong. Although Beigong Boyu did not die in my hands, it is a good thing that he died. We will do a bowl for his death." Although Han Sui and Ma Teng, The head of Beigong Boyu was given to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn't use it to repay his credit. In contrast, Lu Bu didn't want others to think that he was a villain who was greedy for credit.

"General Lu Bu, killing Beigong Boyu is a great achievement. General Lu Bu can give it away for nothing like this. It shows that the general is open-minded. I, Hua Xiong, toast to you." It is a bit surprising that the credit can be disregarded, but Lu Bu must have killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan, so Hua Xiong's words are a bit against his will.

"General Hua Xiong has galloped in Xiliang for many years. If it was not Lu Bu who was in Fufeng but General Hua Xiong, he might have killed Beigong Boyu." Lu Bu didn't mind Hua Xiong's insincere words, but instead A compliment to Hua Xiong.

"Hahaha, General Lu Bu has won the award. But General Lu Bu really understands me, Hua Xiong." Hearing Lu Bu's compliment, Hua Xiong nodded with a smile, obviously very confident in his martial arts.

Looking at Hua Xiong's appearance, Lu Bu couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, "Thousands of clothes are flattering but not clothes, the ancients never deceived me."

"Although General Hua Xiong is skilled in martial arts, General Lu Bu's martial arts are even more outstanding. Zhang Ji also came to toast General Lu Bu." Seeing Hua Xiong's proud expression, Zhang Ji squeezed over with some displeasure, and picked up a glass on the road.
