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

Lu Bu took one wife, eight concubines, five sons and three daughters. According to the original plan, the group set out from Yecheng on July 13th. On the 14th, they entered Mengjin and stayed there for one night.

In Mengjin, Cao Pi had specially built a temporary mansion to welcome Lu Bu.

At night, looking at the rolling water of the Yellow River, Lu Bu remembered that twenty-one years ago, he had just arrived in this era and led his troops across the Yellow River for the first time. Now things have changed. At this time, Lu Bu was in his prime, at the age of forty-five; while Cao Cao was six years older than him, at the age of fifty-one.

During this trip to Luoyang, one was to congratulate the completion of the Tongque Tower, the other was to express loyalty to the court, and the third was to discuss future development with Cao Cao.

Accompanying Lu Bu, in addition to his family members, were Xun Chen, the chief of the general's palace, generals Cheng Lian, Jiang Qi, Han Meng, Wei Yue, Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and others. They also brought twenty attendants to take care of everything at any time. affairs.

This visit to Luoyang was not only to celebrate the unification of the world. The reason why Lu Bu brought such a large lineup to Luoyang was also to prove to the people of the world that even if you are not from a noble family or a rich family, you can achieve great things.

Cao Cao really spent a lot of effort in order to fulfill his friendship as a landlord. In order to welcome Lu Bu and his party, he specially sent troops to cover the two hundred miles from Meng Jin to Luoyang with red silk.

At night in Mengjin, Lu Bu and his entourage received a warm reception. Yang Xiu personally arranged fine wines and delicacies, and there were also graceful singing and dancing during the banquet. After the banquet, each of Lu Bu's subordinates returned to the room with their arms around the two dancing girls. .

The next day, July 15th, according to the scheduled time, Lu Bu and his party set off from Mengjin at Chenshi. When they arrived at the General's Mansion in Luoyang City, it was already late. Cao Zhi, who served as the general receptionist, suppressed his nervous and excited emotions and personally greeted Lu Bu in front of the general's palace.

The young Cao Zhi was full of curiosity about Lu Bu. What kind of person was this best general in the world? These were the things on his mind these past few days.

When Cao Zhi saw Lu Bu coming out of the carriage, he couldn't help being surprised.

When seen on the battlefield, Lu Bu always wore very elegant armor and exuded a majestic aura. However, the clothes he was wearing today were the same as those of the common people in Luoyang. If he were not ten feet tall, he would be inconspicuous in the crowd. Following Lu Bu out of the car were his wives, each one more beautiful than the other, all like fairies descending to earth.

Cao Zhi was stunned to see that his father's women could be regarded as the most powerful of the country, but except for Xiao Qiao, who had just come to Tongque Terrace, no one could compare with Lu Bu's wives, including his own mother, Mrs. Bian.

All the luggage brought by Lu Bu and his party was placed on horseback. The generals and attendants who accompanied them were all better dressed than usual. Compared with Luoyang, Hebei is not rich, and Lu Bu also advocates frugality. Compared with Cao Zhi, who is dressed in rich clothes, they are considered shabby.

Cao Zhi couldn't help but take a deep breath. For Lu Bu and his party, the newly renovated General's Mansion was indeed too luxurious. The second brother was so extravagant that he even made a wedding dress for himself. This reception would definitely leave a good impression on Lu Bu.

"Cao Zhi, Marquis of Linzi, is here to greet the general." Cao Zhi saluted Lu Bu. To his surprise, Lu Bu also respectfully returned the salute to him, a junior.

"I will be making trouble in Luoyang these days. I have caused a lot of trouble to the young master. I hope the young master will express Lu Bu's gratitude to King Wei." Lu Bu said.

Then, under the guidance of Cao Zhi, the group entered the general's mansion that had caused an uproar. Lu Bu stroked the pillar in surprise, feeling the dragon totem on the pillar, and then looked at the rockery, garden, and pond in the courtyard. He couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration. Compared with He Jin's General's Mansion back then, it was simply unprecedented. Nothing less.

When Lu Bu saw the screen in the room, the picture of Gaozu slaying a snake came to life, and a joyful expression appeared on his face: "Master Zijian, this mansion is too luxurious for me, you must have spent a lot of effort. "

At this time, Cao Zhi felt a warm current flow through his heart. Although he only took the credit from his elder brother, for the same thing, his elder brother was scolded by his father, but he was praised by Lu Bu. What a difference it was!

"As long as the general is satisfied, that is what I sincerely hope for." Cao Zhi said.

"I am very satisfied. It is not easy to complete such a mansion. There is absolutely no such luxurious mansion in Hebei. As expected of the King of Wei, there is such a mansion in Luoyang City. I think the imperial palace is nothing more than this. Yes." Lu Bu said.

Cao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He took Lu Bu and his party to put away their belongings and came to the lobby to enjoy fine wine and delicious food.

Lu Bu took out a list and gave it to Cao Zhi, "This is my gift to the King of Wei. I would like to express my gratitude to you. Please check it out and deliver it to the King of Wei on my behalf."

Xun Chen directed the general and attendants to unload the luggage on the horse and move it to the lobby. Cao Zhi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw these mountains of gifts.

"Three thousand taels of gold, a thousand good horses, three thousand suits of armor, two hundred bottles of bronze..."

Judging from the simple attire of Lu Bu and his party, Cao Zhi could not have imagined that he would be so generous and send such an expensive gift. The value of these gifts is almost comparable to the cost of repairing the general's mansion.

"This is my idea, please accept it, sir." Lu Bu said nonchalantly.
