Jianghuxing

At the confluence of the Qinshui River and the Yellow River next to Wuzhi, we said goodbye to Liu Beiguan's second brother and his party. A large number of refugees decided to follow Liu Bei to a paradise he described, where there were no wars and no exiles, where everyone could farm and there would be a good harvest every year.

Liu Bei's face didn't show any regret for losing more than a dozen dead soldiers' personal guards, he still looked like a gloomy man, and he ignored me and walked in front of the refugees. They planned to go to Jizhou from here, and then turn north from Jizhou to Zhongshan Kingdom. I don't know what method Liu Bei used in Luoyang this time, and he actually bought a county order from Anxi County, Zhongshan Province to do it, which is really amazing. In my opinion, people like them, giving a little wind is rain, and they can climb up the pole with a little opportunity. At the beginning of the year, when Zhang Fei robbed our military rations, he also said that it was for his eldest brother to pave the way for his eldest brother to go south to Zhongshan.

Second Brother Guan said goodbye to me: "Go back and Xi martial arts well, don't waste your skills." I saluted him respectfully, and he bowed his hand on his horse and said, "I will not dismount and say goodbye to me because of trivial matters." As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and pursued Liu Bei forward. Then a large number of refugees were at the confluence of the two rivers, with the sound of the surging tide, and with Liu Bei and his party gradually moving away.

We stopped for a few days, and finally saw the Taihang Mountains, so we felt very cordial. Along the Dan River into Bingzhou, the north wind of poverty and suffering is blowing in our faces, and we all know that it is the warmth of home. Later, I didn't dare to delay any more on the road, and went all the way north along Jincheng, and soon passed through Shangdang and went straight to Jinyang.

Sure enough, as Cao Cao said, when I returned from my studies, Lu Bu had already calmed the panic of the people in the state when they saw the tengu eating the moon, although I didn't learn anything, but it was a publicly-funded trip, in addition to hanging some color on my body, this harvest was also quite rich. For example, before I got home, the legendary story of my defeat of Li Jin, the Lingnan King of the Four Peerless Masters in the world, in the White Horse Temple, has spread all over the streets and alleys.

Ding Yuan was very happy when he learned about it, and even met me in person, and specially instructed Lu Bu to promote me to a petty official. At that time, I was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that this name was not good to say, and Zhang Liao was so angry that he scolded me: "You are really a big idiot who doesn't know anything! Although the tun chief does not sound prestigious, it is a formal official position recognized by the imperial court, and he is paid 27 times a month! That is a solid imperial court official, how can a miscellaneous general like my brother and me, who have been busy inside and out for a year, and in the end he can't even solve the problem of establishment!"

I was very proud and in a better mood. Zhang Liao added: "You said that Liu Bei bought a county order from Anxi County to do, do you know how many catties and taels he has? The county order is only 30 taels per month, and you and he are three kids!" I was very excited when I heard this, and asked again: "What about Feng Xian'er? What level is he?" Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "The main book is 300 stones, and there are 40 taels a month!" After speaking, we both stuck out our tongues, and we both felt that Lu Bu was so powerful that he was not inconspicuous.

After finishing the affairs in the state, Lu Bu arranged for me to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and he asked someone in advance to inquire about my diet and daily life in Luoyang these days, and knew that I ate more bitterly, so he asked someone to prepare roast sheep and roasted meat, saying that it was for me to make up for it. Naturally, I will not be polite, in addition to talking about the situation these days, Zhang Liao smiled and scolded when he saw this: "If you want to say that you are from the capital, I really can't believe it! "

The next day, I made a special trip to find Lu Bu and handed him the piece of bamboo slip that Cao Cao gave him. Lu Bu was very happy to hear that Cao Cao made a special trip to write for him, I rarely saw him so happy, in my opinion, he has anger and thunder in his chest, and he is full of joy and sorrow in his stomach, and it is rare to see him so overjoyed.

So I told some details of getting along with Cao Cao these days from beginning to end, Lu Bu listened very carefully, nodded and smiled from time to time, and when he heard Cao Cao's martial arts, he couldn't help but smile and said: "He is a light body method in the palace, I heard that it is studied by some older eunuchs, although the range of movement is not large, but it is better to advance and retreat quickly, and after the swordsmanship, the attack and defense are appropriate, and you don't need to spend too much energy on martial arts to become a master." Then

we talked about the eight words written by Cao Cao: The world will be chaotic, and the army will be self-respecting. I asked the same question that day: "Isn't the world in chaos now?, why does Cao Cao still remind you of this?" But as Cao Cao said, if they are the same kind of people, there is naturally no need to explain, Lu Bu did see Cao Cao's intentions at a glance, and asked with a smile: "Now that most of the Yellow Turban thieves have been pacified, and there is peace in the four seas, why is there such a chaos in the world?"

I was asked, and muttered: "Then since the form is very good, then why does Cao Cao ask you to support the army and respect yourself......" Lu Bu wanted to explain it to me, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too troublesome, so he smiled and said: "Shun'er will help me train the trapping camp well, and you will naturally understand the rest of the things when the time comes." "

Actually, I don't think I will necessarily understand it when the time comes, but since Lu Bu said so, I will seriously follow what he says and ensure that I can't be wrong. I went to the camp that afternoon, and I thought that I would be in trouble when I was out of the camp and no one would take care of me, but when I arrived at the camp, the brothers were training hard. Usually the soldiers practice symbolically in the morning, and most of the trivial things are arranged in the afternoon, and basically no one will continue the training. But the camp is different, although I didn't deliberately ask for it, but since that time after the next stop of the ancient city wall, the Chen Hao brothers paved the road with their lives, and the other brothers seemed to be stimulated, and they deeply felt a sense of powerlessness on the battlefield, so they redoubled their efforts to practice Xi.

They were very happy to see me, but they couldn't interrupt their training for no reason, so they practiced even harder under my watch. I looked at our more than 100 brothers and felt very touched in my heart, although we are not as vicious as Liu Bei's Bai Yu personal guards, not as burly as the Guanxi Han of Second Brother Guan, and even not as flexible as Yan Yunqi under Zhang Fei, but for some reason I feel that some of us are the heads of the three of them. As long as each of my brethren is equipped with iron-armored broadswords, and each of them is a fast horse that can act when the opportunity arises, so that we will not be able to fight bravely and flexibly support.

The following days were relatively peaceful, and those bandits and rogues were personally led by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to fight for half a year, and they all disappeared. I repeatedly train with my brothers every day, and by the way, I selflessly teach my pig-killing knife technique to the big guys, anyway, I don't have any skills in this kung fu, and more practice and more slashing will have miraculous results, the moves are simple and there is no change of moves, and the left hand holds a shield and the right hand slashes down hard. After a period of time, the strength of all the brothers in the trapped camp increased greatly, and Zhang Liao saw it and said that we were a pig-killing brigade.

In July, I heard that Zhao Ci, the Yellow Turban thief who had killed Nanyang Taishou, had been hacked by someone a month earlier, and that he was killed by a man in his forties, carrying a big knife, and entering the rebel camp as if he were in a no-man's land. It is said that this Zhao Ci was about to raise troops to fight Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Wang Min, but on the eve of the expedition, he was single-handedly killed in the camp. But it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that it was my senior brother Huang Zhong who did it, and I thought about it that these conditions are basically all met, no matter the age, knife technique, place of origin and place of office, all of them are consistent with Senior Brother Huang Zhong. I heard that he is also becoming famous in the rivers and lakes, and I am really happy for him, but it is a pity that the distance is far away and we can't meet, otherwise I must have a few drinks.

On the eve of October, I heard that the great eunuch Zhao Zhong in the imperial court was dismissed, and soon it was rumored that the Wuling barbarians rebelled, and the imperial court took a lot of effort to suppress it。 Some people say that Zhao Zhong was dissatisfied with his dismissal of the general of the Che Cavalry, and deliberately attacked the civilian clique, so he chose Zhang Yan, who had just stepped down, to take the opportunity to knock on the side to deter the civilian clique.

This kind of thing is the heat of three or two days in our place, after all, it is the right thing to eat and dress warmly, seeing that winter is coming, the imperial court has repaired the Nangong again this year, and the money and grain collected are more powerful than in previous years, and the whole state is full of complaints, although Lu Bu has spent a lot of effort to offset the political tasks above, but the burden of the people below is still miserable.

Some people say that Emperor Ling snare the world's capable people and craftsmen, made four big bronze people outside the Xuanwu Que, and built four big rhubarb bells outside the Yuhua Palace, and also made the divine beast Tianlu and shrimp toad that can swallow water and spit water, which are used to take water in the palace, and made overturned cars, thirsty birds for sprinkling and sweeping roads, extremely luxurious and exquisite, all of which are poured by the hard-earned money of the people in the world.

In December, the city lord of Cloud City, Kebineng, who had been driven away by Budugen earlier, made a comeback and invaded Youhe Erzhou with the Xianbei tribe, and Biansai was in a hurry. Lu Bu proposed to send troops to fight the thieves, but Ding Yuan tried his best to stop them. He thinks that those Xianbei tribes are just short of food and clothing in winter, and they will go back to grab the border people, and when the large army rushes over, they will have already run away, and there is really no need; the second point is that the Xianbei tribe is strong in combat, and the cavalry of the state is precious and difficult to find, and in the future, this will be a magic weapon for the south to compete for power, and it cannot be lost in the hands of the Xianbei tribe in vain.

Lü Bu and Ding Yuan broke out into a fierce quarrel because of this, and in Lü Bu's opinion, letting the people be plundered and ignoring them was no different from the thieves who came to slaughter and rob. In the long run, it is undoubtedly a vicious circle to suppress the rebellious people by force, because you never care about the peace and contentment of the people, but only care about imposing heavy taxes on them, and you will not protect them if something happens to them.

Therefore, Lu Bu insisted on sending troops, and the price was that he would not move Ding Yuan's elite cavalry, and only ordinary soldiers and a few cavalry would go, and he sent a letter to Budugen, who was entrenched in Yunzhong County, asking for a joint army to jointly crusade against Kebineng, who had come to plunder. Ding Yuan resolutely did not allow Lu Bu to go, for fear that his wise man would die on the front line, so he strictly ordered Lu Bu to sit in Jinyang to prevent another rebellion around him. Lu Bu had no choice but to entrust it to me and Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao slapped me in the back when he heard the words and said: "Son of the walking dog, let's go into battle and kill all those native chickens and dogs back to their hometown!"
