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

In ancient times, men and women were not allowed to meet each other for a few days before the wedding. Although Lu Bu lived in the prime minister's palace, he still had to abide by this rule. Before the wedding, he could only read military books to kill time.

In the blink of an eye, there were still three days before the wedding day. On this day, Lu Bu received an invitation. It turned out that Cai Yong, the left minister, was celebrating his birthday and invited Lu Bu to attend the banquet. Since he had an appointment with Cai Zhaoji, Lu Bu happily went to keep the appointment.

Luoyang City is prosperous. Businessmen from all over the world gather here, bringing many rare things that are not found in the Central Plains. There are also many barbarians from the Western Regions performing on the streets. It deserves to be the capital of the Celestial Empire, Lu Bu said with emotion, wondering how long this prosperity can last, and when will the war between the princes come to Luoyang again?

After passing three main streets, Lu Bu came to Cai Yong's home and met his old acquaintance Cao Cao at the door. After occupying Yanzhou, Cao Cao surrendered to the imperial court and was named General of the Conquest of the South and Mu of Yanzhou.

"Fengxian, long time no see. Cao Cao heard that you were getting married. I'm really envious." Cao Cao saw Lu Bu and came up to say hello.

As expected of Cao Mengde, he is eloquent, Lu Bu thought to himself, and returned the gift, "Thank you Mengde. After shooting the halberd at the gate, Mengde's territory has become bigger and bigger, and Bu is very envious of it."

The two of them entered Cai Mansion together, and guests arrived one after another, most of them were court officials. The old man sitting in the hall was Cai Yong, and the one sitting next to him was Situ Wang Yun. As soon as he saw Lu Bu, he was filled with hatred. After all, his clan in Bingzhou was destroyed by Lu Bu, but now Lu Bu is The popular man in front of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, was not able to get angry, so he had to drink to relieve his sorrow.

Seeing Lu Bu's arrival, Cai Yong stood up quickly and said, "I heard my little girl say that the general's talent and learning are rare in ancient and modern times. Today, I am passing my birthday. Can I ask the general to write a poem so that everyone here can see the general's talent?"

Are you going to take a test on me as soon as you come here? Although Lu Bu was dissatisfied, he was a guest after all, so he just wrote poems. How could he, who was familiar with three hundred Tang poems, be afraid of this? The rotten rice is blooming, and it is the first thing to be taken to celebrate birthdays. Wearing a yellow jade robe on the top of the head, with beautiful golden ribs, the flowers planted by the immortal are fragrant in the evening, and people are eager to see them first."

Everyone was silent, enjoying Lu Bu's poem, and they were mesmerized. Cai Yong and Cao Cao were also famous poets in the literary world, and they were also impressed by Lu Bu's divination. Cao Cao took the lead in applauding, and then everyone followed suit, and the applause was endless.

"Fengxian, Cao likes literature and often writes some poems. He is also famous in Yanzhou, but he is far behind Fengxian. I should ask Fengxian more for advice when I have time." Cao Cao looked humble.

What is great about me is that I have a good memory and can remember the poems of future generations. Lu Bu thought to himself, but still smiled, "Meng Demu praised it. I still prefer fighting and iron horses to dancing and writing."

"Two generals, today we will only talk about romance, not political affairs." Cai Yong took the two of them to the table, and the banquet began.

First, a woman from the Western Regions wearing a tulle face and a scarf danced a dance. Her graceful figure made many people present have their imaginations wandering, staring at the raised legs of the Western Regions woman. But Lu Bu remained calm. Firstly, he had no interest in barbarian women, and secondly, he already had different types of beauties such as Yan Danchen, Wang Yi, and the Dong sisters. He just drank the fine wine in the cup.

When the food started to be served, Lu Bu opened the lid and saw mostly bear paws, deer antlers and other delicacies. Thinking that he had lived in Bingzhou for a long time and had never eaten these foods, he started to eat them directly.

The women from the Western Region also stopped dancing and began to sit on the officials' laps and drink with them. Lu Bu offered Cao Cao the woman who was originally going to accompany him. Cao Cao happened to like this offer and happily accepted it. Under the stimulation of fine wine and beauties, the officials behaved in all kinds of ugly ways, and they began to act like Duke Zhou on the spot, completely disregarding propriety, justice and shame.

Cai Yong saw that Lu Bu was just eating and drinking by himself and not having sex after drinking like the others. He nodded and waved to Lu Bu to follow him to the inner hall. Lu Bu knew from Cai Yong's eyes that something was going to happen tonight, so he put down the food and wine. Followed into the inner hall.

"The general is indeed a gentleman. It seems that my daughter is not wrong about the person." Cai Yong said.

"Is Master Cai's arrangement tonight just to test Bu?" Lu Bu asked.

"Exactly, my little girl told me that the general intends to allow all people in a state to receive education. This is a righteous act, and I am bound to do so. The sage Confucius once said that there is no distinction between education, but no one can do this after that, general My ambition coincides with that of me, and I will do my best. My daughter has an admiration for the general, and today I test the general, and he is indeed a gentleman." Cai Yong explained.

Lu Bu thought to himself, it's a good thing he restrained himself tonight, otherwise he would have missed Cai Yan, a talented woman. He still knelt down and thanked Cai Yong, "Miss Meng fell in love with me by mistake, but Bu is already married and married to Dong Xiang. I'm afraid The young lady has wronged her by marrying me.”

Cai Yong waved his hand, "No, having three wives and four concubines has been the etiquette since ancient times. Besides, the general is a great hero, how can he not have a few confidantes around him? It is her blessing that my daughter can marry the general."

"In this case, Bu will not refuse. Thank you father-in-law." Lu Bu saluted Cai Yong.

Cai Yong decided to resign and follow Lu Bu back to Bingzhou to study. Lu Bu made an agreement with him that after he married the Dong sisters, he would arrange for their father and daughter to leave.

Lu Bu walked out of the inner hall and found that men and women were naked and doing dirty things. Lu Bu shook his head and said, "What a feast for beasts." He walked away.
