Chapter 232: Two Heroes
Walking through the school grounds, it is not far from the camp tent of the dormitory.
Lu Bu, who was dazed, suddenly turned over in his heart, his eyes opened slightly, he broke free of the support of the Xiahou brothers, staggered forward a few times, clubbed his thighs and knees, and vomited.
The slime liquid that had been spit on the ground, mixed with the undigested liquor, gave off an extremely pungent and strong smell that spread around the area.
Cao Cao stepped forward, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Lu Bu turned his head abruptly, his eyes staring at him like a wolf, full of vigilance.
Seeing this, the Xiahou brothers immediately tensed their nerves, and their slightly arched bodies were ready to go.
Cao Cao did not withdraw his palm, patted Lu Bu's back gently, and stroked it back and forth along his backbone.
The expression on Lu Bu's face froze, stunned, and then exhaled and laughed at himself.
After vomiting, Lu Bu was obviously much more conscious. He was not in a hurry to return to the camp, but sat on a lawn, turned back to Cao Cao and asked, "Do you think those prisoners of war should be killed?" β
"Kill or not, it's not you and I can count."
Cao Cao gave a vague answer, in his opinion, those who achieve great things are not informal, and the imperial court in order to ensure that even if some moth thieves are killed, there is actually no big fault.
The two have different family backgrounds, and their horizons are far and near, so naturally there is a great difference.
Cao Cao refused to say it explicitly, but Lu Bu said bluntly: "I even began to wonder if such a pedantic and indiscriminate court was still worth the soldiers to risk their lives?" β
Many things, only after getting drunk, the more sober they are.
The superiors said that they were generous and benevolent, and loved the people like children. In fact, he treats human life as a mustard, tramples and bullies at will, tens of thousands of lives, and kills without blinking an eye.
Isn't that a great irony?
These words really shocked Cao Cao, and his heart twitched violently for a while, and the corners of his eyes trembled. Fortunately, there is no one else around except the Xiahou brothers, otherwise once this matter comes out, it will be a crime of killing the head.
He hurriedly stopped Lu Bu, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Feng Xian, how can you talk nonsense like this!" β
Cao Cao served as a councillor for a period of time a few years ago, so he naturally knew the darkness in officialdom.
However, the chaotic situation that the Han Dynasty has evolved into today is by no means His Majesty's fault. Cao Cao always thought that everything was because the Son of Heaven was blinded by the villain nearby, which led to the moth thief.
The so-called villain refers to the ten permanent servants headed by Zhang Rang.
Cao Cao didn't want to talk about this topic, so Lu Bu didn't talk about it.
After calming down, Lu Bu looked sideways and asked in a tentative tone, "If one day in the future, you capture me, will you still kill me?" β
For the death of Cao Cao in the hands of Cao Cao in the previous life, he never let go, and he was always obsessed.
Hearing this sudden question, Cao Cao felt a little inexplicable, and shook his head in wonder: "Feng Xian, you joked, with your bravery, who in the world can capture it?" β
Cao Cao's words were half-true, but the praise came from the heart.
Lu Bu didn't plan to stop there, he stared at Cao Cao, his dark eyes were like stagnant water, word by word: "For example, you." β
I?
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had heard something extremely funny, he burst into a loud hearty laugh, and said, "Don't be kidding, even if there are ten Cao Mengde, I can't catch you one Lu Fengxian." β
Lu Bu didn't answer, just stared at Cao Cao with both eyes, and his face was cold without a smile.
Cao Cao's laughter gradually became smaller, like a man's back, giving birth to a lot of chills.
Bang!
Suddenly, thunder sounded in the sky, clouds obscured the bright moon, and it seemed that a rainstorm would soon fall.
Lu Bu and Cao Cao raised their heads at the same time, and between the hidden clouds and mist, there seemed to be a giant python flying away.
Cao Cao was in his mind for a while before he came back to his senses. He diverted from the topic, narrowed his eyes, and asked Lu Bu, who was sitting not far away, "Can Feng Xian know the changes of the dragon?" β
Lu Bu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Dragons can be big and small, and they can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. In the hot summer, the dragon changes from time to time, and the Jews have the ambition to cross the seas. Dragons are things, comparable to the heroes of the world. β
Cao Cao looked up at the sky, with infinite yearning in his expression, and told Lu Bu everything he knew.
At this time, he does not have the domineering spirit of the world, so in terms of momentum, it is inevitable that he will be much weaker.
"A man who is a hero has great ambitions, a good plan, an opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth."
Cao Cao withdrew his long gaze, moved to Lu Bu, and asked for advice in a down-to-earth tone: "Feng Xian is brave and brave, and he will fight in all directions, and he will know the heroes of the world, please say it." β
If you ask about martial arts and horsemanship, Lu Bu may be able to answer a question or two. But if you want to ask the heroes of the world, he who has been stationed outside the Saiwai all the year round to deal with the Xianbei and Huns, he can't answer anyway.
Cao Cao waited for a long time, but he didn't see Lu Bu replying, so he asked another question: "What is Fengxian's ambition?" β
This question has also been asked by Xi Ce, and Lu Bu's answer now is still the same as it was then, and it seems very unproductive.
This time it was Cao Cao's turn to be stunned, he felt that the education and ideas he had received since childhood had been greatly impacted. The eldest husband established the world, should build an immortal merit, report to the court, and settle the people, how can there be a reason that he only wants to guard his wife and daughter for the rest of his life?
The recovery of Yingchuan was only the first step in the southward movement to quell the rebellion.
After resting in Yangzhai, they will start a new journey.
With Lu Bu's skills and bravery, it was only a matter of time before he established meritorious service.
After the occupation of Yangzhai, the remnants of the remaining counties in Yingchuan County were no longer to be worried. The next step is to go to Runan in the east and Nanyang in the south.
On the way to Yangzhai, Huangfu Song had already negotiated a new battle plan with Zhu Jun. He went east to capture Runan, and Zhu Jun then went south to quell the rebellion against Nanyang.
Cao Cao followed Huangfu Song to the east, while LΓΌ Bu continued south with Zhu Jun.
The separation was imminent, Cao Cao felt a little lost in his heart, and couldn't help sighing: "This time I say goodbye, I don't know when we will meet again." β
"As long as you don't die, there will always be a day when you will see you again." Lu Bu's answer was full of deep meaning.
The heavy rain was coming, and the two of them got up at the same time, patted the mud and dust off their buttocks, and greeted each other in unison, 'Go'.
With such a fitting action, the two looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't say too much.
The two turned around and walked in opposite directions.
After many years, Cao Cao, who is already a hero, occasionally misses himself at this time, without deceit, but full of enthusiasm.
At that time, he could still caress Lu Bu's back and call him a brother.
He raised the wine bowl in his hand, saluted the same bright moon as that night, gave the answer that should have been given many years ago, and laughed loudly: "Today's heroes, only Fengxian and Lone Ear!" β
