Returning to the mansion from the palace, Lu Bu gathered all the civil and military forces under his command in the lobby.

In the lobby, Lu Bu is sitting in the middle of the main seat, and the civil and military officials are standing below, ranking on both sides.

"This morning, I have played the Son of Tomorrow, and I will lead a large army out of the customs to fight for thieves in the near future, and the Son of Heaven has also allowed me to play." Lu Bu went straight to the point and informed everyone about the matter.

"And besides, I will send some men out of you to accompany me." Lu Bu glanced around the hall and said lightly.

When everyone heard this, they were all excited, eager to try, and responded in unison: "We, we are willing to follow the lord!" ”

"Hmm~"

Lu Bu tapped his chin, as for the candidate for this eastward advance, he had discussed it with Chen Gong and Xice two days ago.

After a slight groan, his gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one. Under those eyes full of expectation, Lu Bu began to order troops.

"Song Xian, Pan Feng!"

The two people on the right below were in high spirits, and immediately stepped forward, clasping their fists and responding: "The end will be." ”

Pulling out an arrow from the order cylinder on the desk, Lu Bu handed it out, and said loudly: "Let the two of you supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and be responsible for everything including the escort of grain and grass on this trip." If there is a half-point difference pool, it will not be spared! ”

Escorting grain and grass seems to be an idle share, but it is actually very important. If there is no food and grass on the way, it will be difficult for the officers and men of the three armies fighting in front to move an inch.

Therefore, the people who generally escort and take care of the grain and grass are all responsible for the boss's henchmen.

Song Xian and Pan Feng glanced at each other, both knowing that the responsibility was heavy, they stepped forward to take the arrow, and said solemnly: "The last general, take the order!" ”

With the grain and grass officer, the pioneer general must also have it.

When Lu Bu asked who was willing to be the pioneer, Guan Hai, who was transferred back to Chang'an from Sanguan, was the first to come out and hold his fists, and his voice was loud: "My lord, since the humble general joined your command, he has relied on the trust of the lord and entrusted him with important positions, but he has not made an inch of merit, which is really embarrassing." Therefore, the humble general dared to beg the lord to hand over the post of vanguard to the last general. The last general must clear all obstacles for the Lord! ”

Guan Hai made a loud noise, and the civil officials next to him nodded again and again. As a pioneer, of course, you must have an indomitable momentum.

Besides, there are people in the barracks who can outperform Guan Hai by their martial arts—there are, but not many.

Lu Bu nodded secretly, Guan Hai can indeed take on this responsibility.

"General Guan guards the Sanguan Pass for the Lord Town and protects the peace of the people, how can it be said that it is useless for such a feat? It's in the bottom that it's really not an inch of work. Lord, a certain is also willing to be a pioneer! ”

Another person came out of the ranks, clenching his fists and leading his life.

Everyone regarded it as the general who was under Lu Bu last year, Xu Rong.

In that year, Xu Rong was ordered to repel the strong onslaught of the Kwantung coalition army under the Tiger Prison Pass, so that many princes knew Xu Rong's name.

This person should be a general!

"General Xu's words are wrong, this eastward march is the first time that our army has gone out of the customs to fight for thieves, and when he plays with momentum, he will make a name for the lord. Therefore, the position of vanguard general should be entrusted to a general with superb martial arts, so as to raise the banner for the army that followed. ”

In the queue of generals, Huang Zhong walked out and clenched his fists at Lu Bu.

Compared with Guan Hai and Xu Rong, Huang Zhong can now be regarded as an 'old qualification'. From the time of the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, Huang Zhong had already followed Lu Bu and participated in many battles.

The implication of his words is self-evident.

It's not that Huang Zhong is arrogant, but now in the entire military camp, except for the lord Lu Bu, none of the rest can be his opponent.

What's more, the war against the princes back then also shocked Huang Zhong's reputation.

"All the generals have a prestige and intimidate the Quartet, why don't you give up the position of vanguard to the boy?" Outside the hall, a heroic young man walked through the threshold, with sword eyebrows and excellent instruments.

When Lu Bu saw this person, a flash of joy flashed on his face, and he asked happily, "Wenyuan, why are you back?" ”

At the end of last year, when Lu Bu returned to Bingzhou, he deliberately went to Yanmen County to put two pillars of incense on the deceased old man.

It stands to reason that when the period of filial piety is not completed, Zhang Liao should not leave home.

"That's what my father meant, he wants me to follow the general and learn more about experience."

Zhang Liao replied, the old man said before his death that Zhang Liao's father was decent and would not be a person who achieved great things. And Zhang Liao's father himself is also deeply aware of this, and he is also afraid that the Zhang family will decay in his hands, so he wants to tie the Zhang family to Lu Bu's big ship while Lu Bu is still thinking about the old man's incense.

His son is the best rope to connect him.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao who was holding his head high below, with a smile in his eyes.

I remember that when we met for the first time, Zhang Liao was still a handsome young man with a Hanxuan knife, and secretly followed him all the way.

Now, in the blink of an eye, seven years have passed.

used to be a little boy, but now, he is heroic.

Zhang Liao is 21 years old this year.

Guan Hai, Xu Rong, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, all four of them have to compete for the position of pioneer, which is a bit difficult to do.

Lu Bu raised his chin and compared several people in his mind.

In terms of personal strength, Huang Zhong is undoubtedly ranked first. But in terms of commander's ability, Xu Rong and Zhang Liao are much better than Huang Zhong.

But the position of the pioneer general is only responsible for taking the lead, and Guan Hai is not unavoidable.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu had an answer, and he asked Zhang Liao very solemnly: "Wenyuan, are you confident?" ”

This reply was basically a tacit acquiescence to Zhang Liao's request.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he would not flinch, and immediately clenched his fists and replied extremely decisively: "I am willing to establish a military order!" ”

It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

"There is no need for military orders, General Ben believes you."

Lu Bu did not respond to the request of the 'military order', young people, it is common to be high-spirited, but the military order is not a joke.

After all, Zhang Liao was the old man's favorite grandson during his lifetime, and when the old man was alive, he took special care of Lu Bu and supported him.

These kindnesses, Lu Bu kept in mind.

So even if no one mentions it, he should protect the Zhang family.

After the vanguard general was selected, Lu Bu ordered many accompanying subordinate officials.

Among them, the main civil officials and strategists include Youxi, Guo Jia, Feng Ji, Sima Lang, Xu Shu, Yan Jian and others.

As for Chen Gong, he stayed in Chang'an.

Although the current Chang'an City is calm, who can guarantee that under this calm wave, there will be no other undercurrents?

Keeping an eye on it is always beneficial and harmless.

The other Lu Bu is not afraid, but he is afraid that when he is in the middle of the battle in front, he will have a fire in the backyard and will not be able to save him.

Chen Gong had no objection to this, although he also wanted to go with the army, it was equally important to stabilize the rear.

"Although the lord goes out with peace of mind, with me in Chang'an for a day, I will never let the young people destroy the lord's plan."

Chen Gong said.
