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

In Yunzhong County, the Xianbei people were celebrating their victory. Tuoba Wei picked up the wine bowl and said to Yu Wenqi, "This victory over the Han army also eliminated the Murong and Dugu tribes. The Great Chanyu will definitely use us in the future." Of both races.”

Yu Wenqi took the wine, drank it down in one gulp, and poured a bowl of wine to Tuoba Wei, "In the future, our two clans need to cooperate more to control the power of Xianbei. From now on, Xianbei will be our world, and the great Shanyu You have to listen to us."

After Tuoba Wei finished drinking, he thought that Yu Wenqi's son hadn't gotten married yet, so he said, "I heard that your son hasn't gotten married yet. I happen to have two daughters. They were originally going to marry the boys from Murong Yan's family, but it's a pity that he didn't get married yet." For this blessing, how about our two clans getting married?"

"This is a good thing. Let's drink three more bowls." After saying that, Yu Wenqi poured three more bowls of wine for Tuoba Wei.

Tuoba Wei drank all the wine in one gulp and was about to pour it for Yu Wenqi when blood suddenly flowed from his mouth and nose. He looked at Yu Wenqi in disbelief and said, "The wine is poisonous." and fell down.

Yu Wenqi put away his smile and ordered that all officials of the Tuoba clan who were centurions and above be beheaded, and the rest of the Tuoba clan were all added to the Yuwen clan. In this way, of the original four tribes in Xianbei, only the Yuwen clan remained.

The next day, Yu Wenqi was sleeping with Tuoba Wei's two daughters in his arms. His son Yu Wenchong knocked on his door, "Father, my son has something important to report."

Yu Wenqi reluctantly left the woman, opened the door, and asked his son, "What's going on?"

"The Han army has retreated." Yu Wenchong said excitedly, not forgetting to take a look at the naked woman on his father's bed.

"What? The Han army retreated, but it's true." Yu Wenqi was also overjoyed.

"It's true. Early this morning, the soldiers came to report that the Han army had withdrawn. I went out of the city to check in person and saw that the Han army camp was empty. There was only a huge wooden horse, six or seven feet high." Yu Wenchong explain.

"If there is such a strange thing, go out with your father and have a look." Yu Wenqi was very curious about the wooden horse.

The Xianbei army came out of the city and arrived at the Han camp. As expected, it was deserted. There was only a huge wooden horse in the camp. Yu Wenqi thought for a while, and then said to the Xianbei soldiers behind him, "This is the trophy given to us by the Kunlun God." , to reward us for defeating the Han army, quickly bring it into the city so that the Xianbei people can admire it."

This wooden horse was very heavy. It took a lot of effort for 10,000 Xianbei soldiers to pull it into the city. The horse's body was almost as high as the city gate. The Xianbei people in the city were very curious when they saw such a huge wooden horse. , all commented and praised Yu Wenqi.

When Yu Wenqi heard the praises of the people, he was very proud. Since the Han army had retreated, he could relax. So he ordered the entire army and people in the city to drink heavily for three days. After three days, the entire army attacked the counties in Bingzhou.

At night, the Xianbei soldiers were all drunk, but a hole opened in the back of the wooden horse. Lu Bu jumped out, and then three thousand Bingzhou soldiers came out.

It turned out that Lu Bu was thinking about how to break the city that night. Suddenly he remembered the "Homer's Epic" that later generations had read. There was a story in it. The Greeks attacked Troy and suffered heavy losses, but they were unable to break into the city of Troy. The Greek coalition was born. Reluctant to retreat, Odysseus proposed a plan to Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek coalition. At night, the Greek coalition suddenly retreated, leaving only a huge wooden horse. The Trojans took the wooden horse back to the city as a trophy. That night, when the Trojan soldiers celebrated their victory, the Greek soldiers hidden in the wooden horse quietly opened the city gates, ushered in the Greek troops outside the city, and captured the indestructible city of Troy overnight.

Lu Bu decided to learn from the Greeks' tactics of attacking Troy and also played a Trojan horse trick. He took 3,000 men to hide in the Trojan horse, while 17,000 cavalry were ambushed in the woods outside the city.

Lü Bu directed his soldiers to open the city gate and raise a fire as a signal. The Bingzhou cavalry in ambush in the woods saw the light of the fire and knew that Lü Bu had succeeded. The cavalry had been holding back their anger and finally had a place to vent their anger.

The Xianbei soldiers and civilians in the city were unprepared, and the Bingzhou cavalry was overwhelming, and a massacre ensued.

Lu Bu, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, killed Yu Wenqi, Yu Wenchong and his son with his own hands, and planted the Han army's flag on the city wall of Yunzhong County.

The Bingzhou Army made great efforts and captured Shangjun and Xihe County one after another. Hundreds of thousands of Xianbei soldiers and Xianbei people became dead souls under the long swords of the Bingzhou Army, and countless Xianbei women became camp prostitutes.

After being captured by Xianbei for more than ten years, the four northern counties finally returned to the hands of the Han army.

In this battle, the Bingzhou army lost 30,000 people, 10,000 people died of serious injuries, and 20,000 people were recuperating after being injured. In the total army of 80,000 people, only 20,000 people were able to stand in the military camp to receive rewards. Although they won, it was a tragic victory, and the Bingzhou Army would not be able to organize large-scale operations in the next few years.

The four recaptured counties were also riddled with holes. As many as 200,000 Xianbei soldiers and civilians died in the four counties, and nearly 100,000 Xianbei women were captured. Lu Bu decided to distribute these women to the soldiers who survived after participating in the war. There were two Xianbei women for each person, and the rest of the Xianbei women were all used as camp prostitutes according to custom.

The remains of the soldiers who died in Bingzhou were piled up as high as the city wall, and many of their faces were rotten and unrecognizable. The ancients believed that people should be buried in peace, but now they can't identify their appearance, so naturally they can't build tombs or erect monuments. This makes Lu Bu worried. He locked himself in his room for two full hours before he had an idea and decided to follow the example of later generations and bury these fallen soldiers together and build a monument.

Lu Bu took matters into his own hands and dug a hole with a shovel. The 20,000 surviving soldiers behind him also followed Lu Bu. They wanted to dig a huge hole because too many of their compatriots had died in the battle. They shed tears while digging holes. The best fate for soldiers is to be shrouded in horse leather. They died gloriously, and future generations will always remember their achievements.

After the pit was dug, the bodies were carefully put into the pit one by one. Lu Bu found a huge stone and had it made into a stone tablet. He personally used Fang Tian's painted halberd to carve the words "Monument to the Heroes of the Han Dynasty" on it. Everyone present cheered. Cry.

After burying the remains of the fallen soldiers, Lu Bu called Wei Muyong and asked him to take 20,000 people to rebuild the four counties. Wei Muyong was also promoted to partial general by him, and he returned to Wuyuan County to open the treasury and prepare for pensions. Anyone who died in battle could receive 10,000 copper coins and 100 shi per family, and be exempted from taxes and corvee service for three years. Those who died of serious injuries were treated the same as soldiers who died in battle. Each of the injured was rewarded with a Xianbei woman and five thousand copper coins. After this set of allocations, half of the Bingzhou treasury was lost. Lu Bu didn't feel bad at all. He was willing to go bankrupt if the dead soldiers could be reborn.

Zhang Liao, who was on an expedition to the grassland, received good news. Within a month, the Bingzhou army swept away more than a dozen Xianbei tribes, spanning 800 miles across the grassland, and captured countless Xianbei women, cattle, sheep, and horses.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and appointed Zhang Liao as the cavalry commander, who could mobilize all the cavalry in Bingzhou except the Wolf Cavalry Battalion.

On the other side, the 30,000 infantry troops led by Xu Rong also successfully captured Zhuojun. Xu Shu was responsible for the peace of the people. Seeing that the Bingzhou Army did not commit any crimes in autumn, many Zhuojun people asked to join the Bingzhou Army. After all, under Gongsun Zan's rule, Their life can be said to be miserable.

After the heavy damage to Xianbei, Lu Bu also moved the Bingzhou administrative office to Jinyang City in Taiyuan County. Ding Yuan was still in charge of government affairs, and military affairs were handed over to Gao Shun. Wuyuan County was garrisoned by Zhang Liao, who launched attacks on the Xianbei tribes on the grassland from time to time. attack.

Lu Bu and the ladies were talking about the tragedy of this war. After Wang Yi heard this, he immediately took Lu Bu's hand and said, "Next time the general goes to war, you must take me with you. I will fight side by side with the general."

"There are us. We also want to kill the enemy with the general." Dong Yuan and Dong Bai said.

Lu Bu took the three of them into his arms and said, "My dear madam, as long as you are safe and sound, my husband will be invincible on the battlefield. Dan Chen and Xiao Yi are both pregnant. Why haven't you made any move yet? It seems that it's because of My husband doesn't care enough for you, so now I'll show you how powerful I am." After saying that, he put the three of them on the bed, and with the sounds of gasping one after another, the four of them spent another wonderful night.

While Lu Bu was fighting Xianbei, the two great heroes of Hebei, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, were not idle. Yuan Shao, who failed to attack Qingzhou, decided to concentrate his forces to fight Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao. Gongsun Zan also personally led the white horse Yi Cong to Jieqiao, and a battle The battle concerning the ownership of Hebei's hegemony is about to begin.
