Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 539 Lu Bu, you have fallen...

Who is the fiercest in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms?
For many people who are proficient in the history of the end of Han Dynasty, there should be no definite answer.But if you randomly grab someone who has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the streets of later generations, he will definitely tell you with contempt: "The red rabbit among the horses, Lu Bu among the people, and the three heroes in the Hulao Guan can't beat Lu Bu, of course it is Lu Bu." The fiercest..."

Liu Xie thought so before, after time travel...he still thinks so.

However, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, if you only want to know who is the most powerful general under your command, it is simply stupid to the end.The generals are all arrogant and have a violent temper. Naturally, Liu Xie will not be so stupid as to let the generals under his command compete for power in such an unnecessary name, which will then cause disagreements among the generals under his command.As a result, he has always been indifferent to these aspects of bravery, and has always only judged fairly based on the achievements of these people.

But now Zhang Lu is going to be taught a lesson, and Zhang Lu, who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, should feel the whipping of the great Han army.Let him think of becoming an enemy of the Han Dynasty in the future, and a shadow will flash across his heart in fright.The Han court needs such a fierce general, so who should we choose?
There is no doubt that this person must still be Lu Bu.

To be honest, this guy Lu Bu doesn't have a very earth-shattering record.Even the "Three Greats Fighting Lu Bu" that is well-known to people of later generations is a non-existent thing.When he was attacking Dong Zhuo back then, Liu Bei had indeed gone to Gongsun Zan's tent, but the problem is that Gongsun Zan did not go to attack Dong Zhuo at all, and the wonderful scene of the battle at Hulaoguan would never have happened.

However, Lu Bu's reputation was still spread.

why?
It is actually very simple for Liu Xie to analyze it.

First of all, there is Lu Bu's virtue, wherever he goes, he looks like "Lao Tzu is number one in the world".This allowed people who had met Lu Bu to have an indelible first impression of him.

Secondly, Lu Bu is indeed skilled in bowing horses and has extraordinary physical strength. He enjoys a high reputation in Bingzhou, a frontier fortress, and is known as a "flying general".This kind of hard power cannot be achieved by just putting on airs.

In addition, Lu Bu's appearance is also a factor. His face is always aggressive and handsome.In addition, maybe he was relatively poor before, and when he was rich, Lu Bu dressed up heroically as soon as he appeared on the stage. Compared with Xu Huang, who doesn't look like a prince in a dragon robe, Lu Bu is simply an excellent spokesperson for the "God of War".

Finally, Lu Bu's bravery is not only his personal force, but his ability to command cavalry is also recognized in this era.In history, when Lu Bu was captured, he told Cao Cao stinkingly, let him command the cavalry, and Cao Cao command the infantry, can we brothers and sisters be in trouble in this world?
No one refuted this sentence in front of the White Gate Tower.Ordinarily, Lu Bu's defeated captive was the fallen Phoenix. Anyone could sneer at him, but no one spoke up.This shows that Lu Bu's pride is not just boasting, but that those people have also suffered from Lu Bu.

It is conceivable that such a handsome but arrogant man, dressed like a god of war, and commanding a desolate cavalry unit, as long as he comes out and charges, the momentum that stirs up blood and rain will not be destroyed. How can all the generals who refuse to return be notorious?

Taking these factors into consideration, the person chosen to beat Zhang Lu must be Lu Bu.

Moreover, apart from Lu Bu being a very suitable candidate, Liu Xie has many other factors.For example, Lu Bu is very obedient now, which is a good start.

"I thank Your Majesty for your high regard. This time, I will definitely beat Zhang Lu to pieces, and I will never dare to covet the Han Dynasty again!"

Seeing Lu Bu's majestic body prostrating himself on the ground, that aggressive face became extremely respectful and grateful. Liu Xie said that it was impossible for him not to feel a little complacent.

However, if the opening is good, things will not go well. Liu Xie still has to explain the ugly things to Lu Bu in advance: "Fengxian...you also know that I let you return to Chang'an because I resisted it for a long time. It was a lot of pressure. Especially during your battle in Chenliu, although the courtiers and ministers didn't know about it, you did not do well... It really took a lot of effort for me to send you to lead the army again this time."

"Your Majesty's kindness to me, I will never forget it!" Lu Bu kowtowed again, looking up at Liu Xie suspiciously.He was no longer Lu Bu yesterday, of course he knew that Liu Xie had something to say later, and it was still difficult to say something.

"So, this time, in order to reassure the courtiers and ministers, I think it is better for you to keep your family members in Chang'an..." When he said this, Liu Xie actually tightened his body unnaturally, although he knew that Lu Bu was not He may be violently injured, but if Lu Bu is furious, at least he is mentally prepared in advance and will behave calmer.

But to Liu Xie's surprise, Lu Bu stared at Liu Xie with a pair of tiger eyes for a while, and finally said: "That's it? Your Majesty wants the minister to keep the hostess?"

"Well, probably, it seems, it should be this request..." Liu Xie was a little embarrassed, and Lu Bu's mysterious reaction made him also puzzled.

"The minister thanked His Majesty for taking care of Qi'er. However, the residence of the minister is still far away from the forbidden center. Qi'er was spoiled by the minister since she was a child... I heard that the queen is dignified and virtuous, and there is a great scholar Cai in the forbidden city." Bo Jie's daughter, Cai Yan, is teaching in the palace, why don't you ask His Majesty to bring Qi'er into the palace and keep a close watch... No, how about taking care of her nearby, and let the little girl feel the influence of grace?"

The doubts in Liu Xie's eyes became stronger: Lu Bu's tone, no matter how it sounds, seems to be creating conditions for his daughter to hook him up...

"What if I don't agree?" Liu Xie tentatively replied, and stood up involuntarily, circling Lu Bu and began to figure it out.

"Your Majesty's kindness to me, I would never want to cry blood to repay it. However, I had a bad reputation at the beginning, and it is not the way of a courtier to let His Majesty bear it for me. If so, I would rather not take the opportunity of the Western Expedition. , and I don’t want to embarrass His Majesty!”

What a loyal minister!
Liu Xie was so moved that he almost wanted to cry: Lu Bu, Lu Bu, you have only been in Chang'an for a few days, and you have learned to blackmail the emperor?If you don't take care of your daughter, you won't beat Zhang Lu?You also said it so righteously, how embarrassed you are!

However, Liu Xie Neng's body was shocked, and the power of the emperor exploded, so he rejected Lu Bu firmly?

Of course not.

He went to Lu Bu not just because of the simple reason that Lu Bu was very fierce.Now that Lu Bu has learned to fight against the generals, how can Liu Xie not fight against the generals?
"Since Fengxian is so loyal and courageous, I am very relieved. However, just staying hostages may not make the ministers feel at ease. I see that Cao Xing under your account is good at archery, and Cheng Lian is also good at training troops. How about staying in Chang'an to train recruits?"

"Cao Xing and Cheng Lian are left, and there are only more than [-] people under my command, and I may not be able to deal with Zhang Lu..." Lu Bu was a little embarrassed.Liu Xie said that Cao Xing and Cheng Lian would be left behind, but how could Lu Bu not know that Liu Xie wanted to cut his military power?
"That's not a problem. When Jiahuhu returned from Yuzhou, he also collected three thousand old Yellow Turbans, plus some new recruits from the village. There are also five thousand. I will hand over Zhou Cang and Liu Pi to your command this time. how?"

"Replacement?" Lu Bu was taken aback. This method was new. When Dong Zhuo cut his military power, he only organized his Bingzhou soldiers into the Liangzhou formation, which made Lu Bu's soldiers less and less.But it was the first time he heard of Liu Xie's exchange.

However, just like Zhang Xi's confusion, Lu Bu was unwilling to command a general who had no friendship with him at all.Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he said again: "Your Majesty, I heard that the scenery in Ye Court is beautiful and there is a female official teaching etiquette. I wonder if my daughter..."

"Yeting is where my concubine stays! Don't push yourself too hard..." Liu Xie condescendingly called out to Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty is the queen alone now, and Ye Ting is idle too..." Lu Bu raised his head slightly, his face seemed a little cunning.

The two just looked at each other, and quickly moved away from each other.However, with just this one glance, the two of them knew what they were thinking.

In desperation, Liu Xie sat on the rug with his buttocks, and spread his hands and said, "Don't be careful to test each other, I'll just open the skylight and tell you the truth. This election You go out to fight, firstly because you are very fierce, and secondly because the imperial court’s military system reform is coming soon, you and Zhang He are the two selected by me as test subjects, Zhang He has nothing, and you have too many people in the Bingzhou Army..." Said, Liu Xie repeated what he had said to Zhang Yun to Lu Bu again, pouring out his thoughts and concepts.

"That is to say, as long as I remain a Hanchen for a day, I will always have the opportunity to lead the army?" Lu Bu was not stupid, of course he understood Liu Xie's intentions.

"Of course, you are no more than General Zhonglang now. If you want to restore the rank of general in the future, there is no problem if you want to lead more regiments. Maybe, after you can reassure me completely, refine the Bingzhou regiment to three thousand. You want to be a lifelong commander That's fine too."

"Oh..." After hearing this, Lu Bu didn't have much reaction on his face. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can still discuss the matter of Ye Ting..."

"Lu Bu, I misjudged you, you have fallen after all..." Liu Xie looked up to the sky and sighed, unable to express his emotion.
