The three types of people Lu Bu hated most were: barbarians, eunuchs, and nobles. Through the study of later generations, he clearly knew that the demise of many dynasties in ancient China was related to these three

Therefore, in the seven years since he came to this era, he killed countless barbarians, and there were no more nobles in the five counties of Bingzhou. The Wang family, including the imperial minister Situ Wangyun, was also uprooted.

At this time, there were only troops and civilians in Bingzhou. This approach won him the hearts and minds of the people, but also lost many political talents. After all, in this era, not everyone has the opportunity to participate in systematic learning. Lu Bu once wanted to build a school to let more people learn knowledge, but there was no suitable teacher, so the plan could only be shelved.

On this day, Lu Bu executed another group of bandits on the bank of the Yellow River. This group of bandits came here from Jizhou. After Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he began to clean up the bandits in the territory. The bandits could only flee to the surrounding prefectures and counties. When he entered Bingzhou and looted the villages, he was captured by the local reserve soldiers. In order to scare others, Lu Bu decided to execute them publicly in the Yellow River. The bandits' begging for mercy, cries, and insults were all drowned out by the roaring water of the Yellow River.

On the hillside by the shore, there were a few strangely dressed people who wrote some words on bamboo slips and left quietly.

Wei Xu came back from Xuzhou in a very embarrassed state. Lu Bu quickly asked if he had been attacked by local defenders on the way. Wei Xu drank several bowls of water and said slowly.

It turns out that since the establishment of Fengxian Trading Company, Wei Xu led his soldiers wearing barbarian clothes and traveled between Bingzhou and Xuzhou, trading horses for private salt. They went back and forth several times without incident. Unexpectedly, this time due to the war in Jizhou , so he passed through Youzhou and was attacked by rogue bandits in Youzhou. He lost a large number of horses and seven out of ten of the accompanying soldiers died in battle.

"What kind of bandits dare to attack a caravan of thousands of people, and they are soldiers from Bingzhou wearing barbarian attire? Have you ever seen the appearance of the leading bandit?" Lu Bu was puzzled.

"Brother-in-law, those bandits are well-trained, and they are no ordinary people at first sight. The leader is a black-faced man with a voice like thunder, a hideous face, and invincible bravery. He killed more than a hundred of our soldiers alone." Wei Xu Thinking of that scene, I still feel scared.

"Zhang Fei, it must be the eunuch! I spared your life in front of Hulao Pass, but you took my horses and killed my soldiers. This is a life-and-death hatred! Go back and rest, my brother-in-law will definitely avenge you!" Lu Bu sent Wei He continued to leave, then rode on the red rabbit horse and went straight to the military camp.

Lu Bu left Gao Shun and Gan Ning to guard Wuyuan, while he took Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, and 10,000 cavalry to Zhuojun under the banner of Dao for Heaven.

At the Zhuojun military camp, Zhang Fei was still complacent about his robbery of horses. While drinking, the soldiers talked about how brave he was.

At this time Liu Bei came with an angry look on his face. He snatched the wine jar from Zhang Fei's hand and threw it to the ground. "How many times have I told you that drinking is not allowed in the army! Third brother, why are you doing this!"

When Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei was coming, he woke up and said, "Brother, I just made a deal a few days ago and robbed the horses of the Hu people. There were a thousand horses, all of which were good horses!" Not losing to Youzhou Army and Horse."

"Is there such a thing? Please tell me in detail." Liu Bei heard that he had a good horse and wanted to know the details.

"Brother, you also know that we have recruited thousands of new soldiers, and Gongsun Zan refuses to give us horses. So I can only take my brothers, dress up as bandits, and go to the surrounding counties to grab horses. Then One day, I saw a barbarian caravan of a thousand people, so I followed them all the way. When they were resting, I launched a surprise attack. The barbarians were also brave. We killed and injured many brothers, but I was not a vegetarian. He killed hundreds of them, and then robbed so many horses." Zhang Fei told with excitement.

"Is there anyone left alive?" Liu Bei asked.

"Only one leader ran. His horse was too fast." Zhang Fei felt a little regretful.

"Leaving him alive would be a disaster." Liu Bei was worried.

"Don't worry, brother, Yun Chang and I are here, why should we be afraid?" Zhang Fei was full of confidence.

"The governor's new policy is to make good friends with Wuhuan, and he has clearly ordered the ministries in Youzhou not to conflict with the barbarians. I'm afraid that your actions this time, third brother, will cause conflicts with the barbarians." Liu Bei said.

"My eldest brother is a hero, how can he stay under Gongsun Zan for a long time? If he dares to be rude to my eldest brother, don't blame me, Old Zhang, for poking ten thousand transparent holes in him!" Zhang Fei slapped the table, breaking it into two halves.

"Third brother, we still need to wait for the opportunity and be careful not to show off our talents too much." Liu Bei advised Zhang Fei not to be the first to do so.

"Brother, that wine?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Since you have made a meritorious service, I will make an exception and let you have a good drink, but it is just this time and will not be repeated in the future." Liu Bei said.

After Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately picked up another jar of wine. Liu Bei could only shake his head helplessly and left the military tent.
