Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21 Hou Cheng Seizes the Camp
At the same time, Hou Cheng brought a dozen people to the barracks with the eunuch's documents.Hou Cheng wanted to completely control the barracks before the county magistrate took any action. In this way, even if the county magistrate wanted to rebel, it would be too late.

When Hou Cheng brought people to the barracks, he saw a group of carriages coming out of the small camp gate. From the deep ruts, Hou Cheng had already seen that the things in the carriages were not simple.Hou Cheng thought to himself: What kind of military camp is this? It looks like a warehouse.It's just that the goods in this warehouse belong to whose family.

Although Hou Cheng felt strange, he didn't have much to do. He must have more important things to do now.So Hou Cheng walked straight towards the barracks.

The soldiers at the gate of the barracks watched Hou Cheng bring people over.Seeing that the situation was not good, who dared to come up to stop him, hurriedly turned around and ran into the barracks.

When Hou Cheng saw the soldier running in to report the news, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, pointing to the soldiers he had brought with him, he said, "Help me guard the gate of this camp, and don't let anyone leave. Anyone who violates the order will be punished on the spot. "

The soldiers who were left behind quickly responded, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, Hou Chengyi turned around and said to a soldier from Jiuyuan County who was standing at the gate of the camp, "You, take me to see the commander in your camp."

The soldier saw Hou Cheng coming, and he was wearing the uniform of a county soldier, so he dared to say no.He hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, the soldier took Hou Cheng and the soldiers brought by Hou Cheng, and headed straight for the barracks tent.

And at this moment, in the large tent of the Jiuyuan County military camp, a fat officer was eating wine with his arms around a girl.Hearing the report of the soldiers who ran in at the gate of the camp, I was surprised at first.Then he yelled at the soldier who reported the letter: "You can see clearly, that person is the son of the new prefect of Wuyuan County?"

The soldier who ran in to report the message just saw that something was wrong, so he came in to report the message. How could he know who the other party was.Upon hearing the officer's question, the soldier faltered and said, "My lord, I just saw that the person who came here is very powerful and is wearing the equipment of a county soldier. As for who the person is, the villain doesn't know."

When the official heard it, he took a hard look, and the soldier who reported the letter said: "Go to the county magistrate immediately, and come here with Mr. Xu You."

Seeing the soldier rushing out of the camp gate in a hurry, the officer hurriedly dressed neatly and greeted him out towards the camp gate.

The officer had just left his tent when he happened to meet Hou Cheng who was rushing towards him.As soon as Hou Cheng saw the officer's attire, he knew that the man in front of him was the chief officer of the barracks.Hou Chenglue cupped his hands and said to the officer, "I was ordered to take over the barracks, please cooperate with me."

When the officer heard that Hou Cheng was going to take over the barracks, he was willing.Then he laughed a few times and said: "What are you talking about, my lord, what a noble person you are, why bother with such vulgar things?"

Seeing that this person was unwilling to cooperate, Hou Cheng wanted to kill the camp leader in front of him with one blow.

But Hou Cheng thought about it again, even if he really killed the person in front of him, could he control the barracks?Hou Cheng felt that if he killed the man in front of him with one knife, not only might he not be able to control the barracks, but it might cause a mutiny.Erlang on the grassland has always been soft but not hard.

Thinking of this, Hou Cheng laughed.Hou Cheng adjusted his tone.Said to the officer: "I am Mr. Lu, who sat down and Hou Cheng. I was ordered by Mr. Lu to come here to reward the three armies. It is convenient for you to pay back the adults."

When the officer heard that he was here to reward the three armies, his nervous mood immediately relaxed.However, he still felt a little uneasy and asked Hou Chengdao: "Since Shangguan is here to reward the three armies, how can you say that he wants to take over the three armies?"

Hou Cheng rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "My lord, don't panic, this is what our salary means. Our son said that Jiuyuan County is an important place for military strategists, and only people with outstanding abilities can control the army in order to benefit Common people. That's why my son asked me to test your guts, sir, before rewarding the three armies. You shouldn't blame my son, sir."

The officer felt relieved after hearing Hou Cheng's flicker.Immediately send an order to set up a banquet to welcome Hou Cheng and his party.

Hou Cheng dared to delay the time, so he quickly declined: "Your Excellency, let's gather the soldiers of the three armies first. After we finish our business, it's not too late to drink. Today, I will definitely compete with Your Excellency on the amount of alcohol." Watching Hou Cheng make a manly smile.

As soon as the officer heard it, he understood what Hou Cheng meant.Busily patted his head and said: "Look at my memory, I'm happy to be patronizing, how can I forget important things."

After speaking, the officer hurriedly asked the soldiers in the battalion to gather at the school grounds.

Hou Cheng came to the school grounds and looked at about 500 people gathered in the school grounds, a group of strong men.Hou Cheng said in a loud voice: "Master Lu Bu, I sit down and Hou Cheng is the same. I was ordered by the new Wuyuan prefect Ding Yuan Ding to come to Jiuyuan County to recruit young and strong soldiers to serve the country and regain the rivers and mountains to fight against foreign humiliation. You are all good men of my Han Dynasty, eagles on the grassland, would you like to join me in killing the Hulu and avenging the fathers and villagers who died at the hands of foreigners all these years?"

As soon as Hou Cheng's words fell, all the soldiers on the school field shouted: "Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Hou Cheng was proud for a while, and secretly said: "Sure enough, the military spirit is available."

However, when Hou Cheng turned around and looked at the officer again.The officer's complexion was not very good.

The officer smiled at Hou Cheng and said, "Commander Shangguan's banquet is ready, my lord should hurry up and take a seat."

Hou Cheng was very happy when he heard the officer said that he would be seated.

In fact, it was later said that he had already seen that this officer would not hand over his military power.Then the only way is to get rid of this officer.But Hou Cheng can't kill people in public.In that case, Hou Cheng is not sure that he can control the situation.But when it comes to the military tent.Huh, that's different.

Thinking of this, Hou Cheng said to the soldiers in the school field: "Everyone has worked hard in Jiuyuan County these years. The prefect knows everyone's hard work, so this time he specially sent his son Lu Bu to reward the three armies. Please be safe, everyone. , wait for a while in this school grounds, and we will distribute the rewards."

When the soldiers below heard that there was a reward, they all became excited like chicken blood.They all stood anxiously in the school field and waited.

At this moment, Hou Cheng turned around and said to the battalion commander on the side: "My lord, why don't we invite the chief officers of the camp to go to the bar together. When the son's people bring the reward money, how about we award the three armies?"

The officer, seeing where Hou Cheng was giving a speech, was already sweating in his palms.Although he would not hand over the military power to Hou Cheng, he didn't want to have a deadlock with Hou Cheng.It must be that Hou Cheng was sent by the superiors. Although it may not be possible to do anything to him, Jiuyuan County has a lot of money in recent years.

The officer was thinking this way when he met Hou Chengxiang and asked him if he disagreed.So he hurriedly summoned all the chief officers to have a drink in his army commander.

As he approached the military tent, Hou Cheng gave the two soldiers behind him a wink.The two soldiers stood guard at the entrance of the military tent inadvertently.

In the big tent, the officer and a group of generals in the barracks were about to take their seats.Hou Cheng was the first to stand in the tent, looked at the eight generals in front of him and said loudly: "My son was ordered to come to Jiuyuan County to summon Xiangyong, and I, Hou Cheng, was ordered to take over the barracks. I don't know what you think?" As he said that, Hou Cheng took out the recruitment document and shook it in front of everyone, but he didn't mean to let everyone see it.

There was a clever general who saw that the situation was not good and wanted to rush out of the tent, but was blocked by Hou Cheng's soldiers.

The chief officer in the battalion saw that Hou Cheng was going to come for real this time.He sighed and said: "I didn't want to be an enemy of your young master, but you forced me like this. It seems that the lower officials have no choice but to be rude. Don't you know what it means: 'A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake'? Just rely on Do these people under your command really think that I can't do anything to you?"
