Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 97 Returning

Spring returned to the earth, and the snow in Xiliang melted naturally. Jia Xu's letter and the imperial edict sent by Dong Zhuo were sent almost at the same time.

"General, but the grand master told me to wait for the imperial court?" Hua Xiong had already recovered from his injury after a winter's recuperation, and when he heard that the imperial court had sent someone over, he ran quickly.

"That's right, I've been lingering in Xiliang for too long." Lu Bu nodded, "But go to Anding first, what the Grand Master means is to bring back the soldiers and horses I left there. There are so many elephants, we need to add more troops to frighten all directions."

In fact, Dong Zhuo recalled Lv Bu and all of Lv Bu's soldiers and horses to guard against Lv Bu. If Dong Zhuo was still there when Lv Bu returned, the one who faced Lv Bu would probably cut his military power.

After all, regardless of the soldiers Huaxiong brought on this trip, Lu Bu had already ordered Zhang Liao to station 8,000 soldiers (Bingzhou Army and Qiang Army) in Wuwei, and Gao Shun's 5,000 soldiers and horses. Thirteen thousand soldiers and horses, this is not a small number. If you count the Xiliang soldiers brought by Hua Xiong, I am afraid that the three generals Niu Fu, Duan Yan, and Dong Yue will not have as many soldiers as Lu Bu, and they have become the strength of Dong Zhuo's command. The number one general in command is not Dong Zhuo's confidant, and he has been away for a long time, which makes Dong Zhuo feel at ease.

But fortunately, when the messenger delivered the edict, it was just in time for heavy snowfall, which blocked the way, otherwise, if it was delivered a few months in advance, it would be really difficult for Lu Bu to refuse.

Now, looking at Jia Xu’s letter, it’s clear that something happened in Chang’an or something is going to happen. It’s Lv Bu’s decision to go back to the army at this time and avoid An Ding. , It can’t be too late, this time must be grasped well, how to grasp it depends on the situation in Chang’an, so Lu Bu decided to meet Gao Shun first, and then go to Chang’an, where it is easier to get news.

"I don't know what happened." Hua Xiong was also a little worried when he heard the words. The roads were blocked by heavy snow in winter, and the news of Chang'an came in recently. It was said that many people died, and then there was a civil uprising, but there were specific details. Hua Xiong didn't know how serious it was.

"Has your injury improved?" Lu Bu asked Hua Xiong.

"Don't worry, general, he has already recovered. By the way, the final general heard that the general returned to Chang'an to report on his duties, and he will be promoted again?" Hua Xiong patted his chest before laughing.

"That's right, my lord is Wei Wei when I go back this time, and he's ranked in Jiuqing, and he was promoted to Marquis Wen, what's the matter? You still want to compare with my lord with your skills?" Ma Chao on the side looked at Hua Xiong proudly, with that appearance Pretty underplayed.

"It's not you. Besides, Marquis Wen and Ping Tao are both county marquises. That's not called promotion. Read more books. Going to Chang'an is different from Xiliang." Hua Xiong is also immune to this brat's reckless words. Well, what Ma Chao is best at is martial arts, after all, he is still inferior to Hua Xiong, but considering the kid's age, Hua Xiong is not at all proud.

In addition, Pound was also kept by Lu Bu's side now, and this time Hua Xiong didn't speak, so Ma Chao didn't say anything. Although his ability was good, this mouth was too easy to make people have the urge to slap him. The key is to slap him. It was difficult, except for Lu Bu, there was probably no one in the army who could suppress him.

As for Pound, Hua Xiong actually wanted it, but seeing Lu Bu's expression, he knew it would not be easy, so he should take it easy, wait for a while to get acquainted with Pound, and then mention it, it's all his own People, who are you not following? Besides, Lu Bu is surrounded by Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Gao Shun and Dian Wei. With so many strong generals, it should be okay to divide him into Pound, right?

After fighting for so many years, why is it so difficult to recruit a capable lieutenant general?

"Joke, I don't believe there is someone stronger than the lord in Chang'an City!" Ma Chao said disdainfully.

"Silly boy, when you go to Chang'an, no one will compete with you. It's been a long time." Hua Xiong shook his head, turned around and went to pack his bags, while Lu Bu called everyone over.

This time I return to Chang'an, I guess I won't come to Xiliang for a long time. The prefects of the Xiliang counties are basically his own people. Lu Bu is going to bring some people back to Chang'an with him. If Chang'an really changes, then he will be very upset. There was a shortage of manpower, so Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong, Wang Ling, Yang Fu, Zhao Qu, Liang Kuan, Yin Feng and other good scholars from Longxi in the younger generation had to follow Lu Bu.

The young man is not bad, and he is aggressive. He doesn't have the problems of those old foxes in the court. If he really wants to do things, he is extremely efficient and can create a sense of crisis to those people to the greatest extent.

Of course, these are all things to talk about. Now that even the situation in Chang’an is not clear, Lu Bu’s great plans can only be deduced in his mind, but the road still has to be taken step by step. Come in one mouthful.

In addition, Wang Yi naturally had to take it with him, as it was impossible to stay in Xiliang. Lu Bu was quite satisfied with this little concubine.

Because of the edict, Hua Xiong was the most active. Lu Bu was given a reward. Although he was not given, Hua Xiong believed that this time he would be able to reward himself when he went back.

When the army set off, everyone went to Longguan first and joined Wei Xu, but Wei Xu and Lu Bu did not take them away.

"Can I still trust you?" Lu Bu stopped for a day when he passed through Longguan, in order to procrastinate for a while, to inquire about the recent situation in Guanzhong, and also to see his brother-in-law. Naturally, it was not because he did not believe in Wei Xu's loyalty. Doubt has always been his ability.

"My lord, the general will know what the lord is going to do." Wei Xu said proudly.

"Oh?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, looked at him and said, "Let's listen."

"My lord, after this battle, this Xiliang is nominally owned by the imperial court or grand master, but in fact, it has been controlled by the lord..."

"Stop!" Lu Bu interrupted Wei Xu, and looked him up and down: "Who taught you these words?"

"No one taught me." Wei Xu stopped his chest, looked at Lu Bu seriously, and said, "Since my lord had a long talk with me that day, I have spent these days in Longguan, just reading books when I have nothing to do, and I have learned a lot. reason."

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu suspiciously. He now has two brothers-in-law, one Wei Xu and one Wang Ling, but emotionally speaking, he is naturally closer to Wei Xu, but Wei Xu has never learned anything. The technique caused Lu Bu a very headache. Even at this moment, he still suspected that someone was teaching him behind his back.

At that moment, Lu Bu asked a few more questions that could not appear in the book of war. This requires a certain understanding of the book of war and some experience in the army. Although Wei Xu's answer was not comprehensive, he had some insights of his own, which can be seen Well, this kid really got his head around it, and he knew how to work hard instead of pretending to be a tiger like before.

"Good!" After the exam, Lu Bu couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "Bo Chuan, I always hoped that you could be my right-hand man. Now that I entrust this Longguan to you, I can rest assured."

This Xiliang is Lu Bu's way of retreat, and at Longguan, Lu Bu retreated to Longxi's gateway. As long as Longguan is still there, even if Lu Bu fails to fight for Chang'an, he still has a way of retreat. He can retreat to Xiliang. Recapturing Guanzhong, as long as this place exists, Lu Bu will remain invincible.

The only problem is that Lu Bu doesn't have anyone suitable for him right now. Zhang Liao needs to help him guard the four Hexi counties in Wuwei, Gao Shun will follow him back to Chang'an, and Longguan is very important. What is said is that all people are treated equally, and in real work, there is still a difference between closeness and distance. If Wei Xu is still as unbearable as before, Lu Bu can only leave Wang Ling and take Wei Xu with him.

Fortunately, this time, Wei Xu did not disappoint Lu Bu, and he was qualified to share some of the pressure for him.

"The last general was ignorant in the past, and the tired lord is worried about the last general. Don't worry, my lord. From now on, Wei Xu will be the shield in my lord's hands!" Wei Xu bowed to Lu Bu.

"Haha~ good!" Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu's appearance, and it had been a long time since he opened up like this.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Ma Chao poked his head in from outside the door, looked at Lu Bu and asked curiously.

"My brother-in-law finally got the hang of it and is willing to learn. Do you think it's a good thing?" Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao and smiled from the bottom of his heart. good?

"This... is of course a good thing. If there is nothing serious... I will go to General Hua Xiong to discuss the art of war~" Ma Chao laughed dryly, looked at Wei Xu, then at Lu Bu, shrank back knowingly, and ran away That's right, as a guard for this sake, if you change someone, even if you can keep your head, this position will have been changed long ago.

"My lord, these young people recently... oh~ how many people can't learn even if they want to?" Wei Xu looked at the direction Ma Chao left, shaking his head.

Lu Bu glanced at him and said, "After reading for a few months, don't be too complacent."

Wei Xu has a big problem. His grades will fluctuate after a little bit. For example, if he won a battle with Lu Bu for the first time, even if he didn’t fight, he would be very excited, as if he led the victory. It would be best to change it.

Of course, Lu Bu knows how to beat, and he will not tell him directly that human beings have a strange problem, and if they don’t suffer twice, they will never listen to what they say, and the most repulsive thing is others’ preaching, so Lu Bu is now trying to restrain himself Don't preach to others yourself, sometimes it is more useful to do it directly than to preach.

But Wei Xu is such an adult, it's somewhat bad to do it, so Lu Bu just beat him a few words.

"My lord, don't worry, the general will be modest and prudent, and will not make mistakes." Wei Xu laughed.

"I hope." Lu Bu could only trust him. In the place of Longguan, it is enough to leave one person to guard the back road, and it may not be necessary.

Rest in Longguan for a day, and early the next morning, Lu Bu set off again with his army, this time heading straight for Anding. Along the way, the news of Chang'an came like snowflakes. Many people would freeze to death. Lu Bu had expected it, but what he didn't expect was that there would be corpses everywhere...
