The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

On the New Year's Day of the third year of Xingping (196), the Lu Mansion in Jinyang City was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Lu Bu had two sons, the eldest son Lu Ren, named Anbang, and the second son Lu Yi, named Dingguo, plus Yan Danchen's son. Lu Lingqi, the eldest daughter of Lu Bu, already has three children.

Lu Bu now occupies two states and twenty counties, with a total population of 3.2 million and 200,000 soldiers, including 120,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry. Wuyuan was guarded by Zhang Liao, with a garrison of 50,000, including 40,000 cavalry, and 10,000 infantry; Dai County was garrisoned by Taishi Ci, with a garrison of 50,000, all cavalry; Liaodong was garrisoned by Xu Rong, with a garrison of 30,000, including 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 Infantry; Taiyuan is guarded by Gao Shun, with 30,000 troops stationed, including 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, including two major special forces: the trap camp and the wolf cavalry battalion; 20,000 infantry are stationed in various counties and counties; 10,000 infantry are dedicated to farming; Ten thousand infantrymen, commanded by Gan Ning, were trained in Lelang County in Youzhou, built ships, and prepared to fight in the sea as a full-time naval force.

Lu Bu has a plan for the next three years in his mind. He has reached a consensus with Yuan Shao that there will be no war between the two sides in the short term. There are 130,000 troops stationed on the border, which is enough to deal with the invasion of Xianbei and Wuhuan. The continuous development of Fengxian Trading Company has brought a lot of wealth. Supporting the army, Chen Gong and Xu Shu handled the state affairs in an orderly manner, and set up forays in each county, which made the people of Youbian and the two states prosperous and reduced the number of thieves and bandits. Fengxian Academy also brought a lot of reserve talents to the state capital. Everything is going in the right direction and it's time to start that plan.

In the era of later generation Zhang Zhe, he always had an idea when he was in school. The Han and Tang Dynasties were the most splendid periods of Chinese civilization. Why didn't they establish a vast colony? Otherwise, they could have become an empire on which the sun never sets more than a thousand years earlier than Britain. But now that I have such an opportunity, I must plant the flag of the Han Dynasty in every inch of land in the world.

This year, Cai Yan no longer took care of the affairs of Fengxian Academy. Cai Yong and his disciples were responsible for everything in the academy. She also naturally moved into Lu Bu's house and became his sixth woman. Accompanying her was Liu Bei's wife Gan Qian. After being held captive for five years, she finally let go of her persistence and volunteered to become Lu Bu's seventh woman. This Gan Qian was born very special, her body was as white as jade, and her body was Fragrance, unlike Lu Bu's other six women, is deeply loved by Lu Bu.

Throughout the first month of the new year, Lu Bu spent time with Yan Danchen, Wang Yi, Dong Yuan, Dong Yi, Dong Bai, Cai Yan, Gan Qian, and his three children. He knew that this trip would take a long time.

After the end of the first month, Lu Bu said goodbye to his family, took Wei Muyong and Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, and rushed to Lelang County, where he had his naval army and his plan to conquer the world. After a month, the group finally arrived at Lelang County, a city located on the edge of the East China Sea, with an endless sea as far as the eye could see.

Under Gan Ning's supervision and guidance, ten tower ships have been built. Each ship is ten feet high and has three floors of towers, including female walls, battle grids, flags, driving windows, spear holes, throwing carts, and fortifications. It is made of stone and iron and looks like a fortress. Each boat can carry two thousand people.

Lu Bu couldn't help praising Gan Ning, "My great cause would not have been realized without Xingba."

Gan Ning replied, "I would rather follow my lord's orders to build warships and train naval forces. Now that we have accomplished that, do we want to go south to the Yangtze River?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "It's not to go south to the Yangtze River, but to cross the East China Sea eastward."

Gan Ning was puzzled, "Are there also princes east of the East China Sea?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "The world is bigger than you and I imagine. Beyond the East China Sea, there is a vast world. I plan to go on an expedition. I will plant the flag of the Han Dynasty in every inch of land I reach and make the men there our slaves." , let the women there give birth to children for our Han army, and we will sow the seeds of the Han army all over the world."

Gan Ning recalled Lu Bu's words, "What my lord is about to do is a great event that will open up the world. It is my honor to be able to expand the territory for the lord."

Lu Bu patted Gan Ning and said, "I want to establish overseas colonies and make the Han Empire an empire on which the sun never sets. The previous dynasty had a Silk Road that led directly to the countries in the Western Regions. Now our expedition is to open up a maritime Silk Road. In fact, As early as thousands of years ago, people of the Shang Dynasty had traveled to the other side of the world by boat, and we are following the footsteps of our ancestors."

Gan Ning replied, "My lord is really knowledgeable about the past and the present. I admire you. I wonder how many troops and horses are needed for this trip?"

Lu Bu replied, "Bring all the 10,000 sailors you trained. This expedition will take a long time. In order to alleviate the loneliness of the soldiers, we can let the soldiers choose 10,000 barmaids from the camp prostitutes to accompany them. Every land we conquer, soldiers will be stationed for generations." , no need to pay taxes, and become the master of the colony.”

Gan Ning couldn't help but nodded, "My lord, this move has greatly boosted morale. Wherever our Han army goes, it will be overwhelming."

In the next month, Lu Bu asked the navy to go to Youzhou camp to select Hu girls, and arranged for Wei Muyong and Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry to prepare the food, silk, and jade needed for the trip. He himself relied on the memories of later generations. , drew a map, and discussed the march route with Gan Ning.

The first step in establishing overseas colonies was to conquer Japan.
