Time flies, and it is spring in a blink of an eye.

Lu Bu put on his armor and walked out of the house, and Chen Wei, who was waiting outside, stepped forward and said, "My lord, General Zhang has just sent someone to report that the officers and soldiers of the three armies have been assembled outside the city, waiting for your order at any time." ”

Lu Bu nodded and strode out of the house.

Outside the county seat, 40,000 soldiers were waiting for battle, lined up in a neat phalanx, and stood with their heads held high. The generals Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang were all lined up in front of the battle, all in good spirits.

The winter snow melts, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

As far as the eye can see, the whole earth is being reborn.

Wearing armor, Lu Bu took steps and climbed the high platform he had built step by step, when he stood on top of the high platform.

Swish!

Everyone's eyes fell on him.

The soldiers who were still whispering were silent for a moment, and they looked up, their eyes full of respect and fanaticism, looking at the general who was like a god in their hearts.

Before the expedition, it has become a common practice for the commander to take the stage to give a speech of encouragement.

Without the threat of Yuan Shu in the south, Yuan Shao in the north was also restrained by Gongsun Zhan, and the two brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao also had to temporarily return to Liang for personal reasons.

For Lu Bu, this is the best situation at the moment.

"As everyone knows, the Han dynasty is in decline and the country is in turmoil. I am under the clear order of the Son of Heaven to restrain the rebels and thieves who are not subordinate to the four seas, and I want to restore the former majesty of the Han Dynasty and make the Huanyu Dynasty worship in Chang'an......"

Lu Bu pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were like electricity.

His body stood tall and straight, and the strong wind in front of him blew the hem of his robe, and the hunt flew into the air.

The soldiers below listened quietly, holding their breath.

"I remember that when I set off from Chang'an, it was two years ago in a blink of an eye. In the past two years, we have recovered Luoyang, swept away the white wave thieves, incorporated Hanoi, Chenliu and other places into our banner, and even beat Yuan Shu, the overlord of the south, to the point of embarrassment. You say, are we good enough? ”

"Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

The 40,000 soldiers below waved the weapons in their hands, and all of them exploded, and they roared and shouted excitedly.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with the attitude of the soldiers, and raised his voice again: "Now that we have defeated Yuan Shu, the next target is Cao Cao who is stealing from Yanzhou, do you have confidence!" ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

The soldiers replied loudly, and as the sound fluctuated, the weapons in their hands also moved upwards in unison with the shouts.

"Good! is worthy of being the son of General Ben! ”

Lu Bu shouted 'yes', his eyes swept around from left to right, and made a promise to all the soldiers present: "When Yanzhou is pacified, I will show the imperial court, in addition to your original rewards and merits, and then reduce your family's taxes by 20%!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers boiled again, shouting with joy.

"Long live the lord!"

"Long live the lord!"

During the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven had not yet claimed to be long live, so the soldiers shouted Long live the lord, and did not mean to rebel and disrespect, but simply wanted to express their gratitude to Lu Bu.

After finishing his speech, Lu Bu pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed into the distance, and shouted vigorously: "Go!" ”

The 40,000 soldiers turned to the right, marched in a row of 20 people, marched in turn, took steps, and embarked on a new journey.

When the team was more than halfway through, Wen Ji over there carried the halberd and led Chi Su to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu turned over on his horse, gently clamped the belly of the red horse, and slowly walked forward.

On the way, Lu Bu called Guo Jia to his side alone, and said very boldly: "Fengxiao, you have repeatedly set up strange schemes, and you have made a lot of contributions, but you don't take the initiative to ask for credit." Say, whatever official position you want, as long as it's not the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, I can promise you the rest. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he lightly grasped the reins of the horse, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a smile appeared on the white fox's face: "I have never been much interested in these fame and fortune, if Da Sima really wants to be rewarded, why don't you give me a winery in Chang'an, how about it?" ”

Lu Bu was stunned at first, and then shook his head again and again, "That's not good, when Mr. returned to Chang'an, he told me a thousand times, let me look at you a little, don't let you drink too much." Now that I turn a blind eye, I'm already very gracious, and I'll get you a wine shop again, I guess Mr. will hate me miserably! ”

On weekdays, Xi Ce doesn't let Guo Jia drink, but now that Lu Bu said this, Guo Jia's chattering appearance suddenly appeared in Guo Jia's mind.

"Sometimes, Xi Zhicai is really like a woman, very verbose." Guo Jia straightened his blue coat and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Lu Bu obviously didn't hear Guo Jia's self-talk, for Guo Jia, Lu Bu had his own plans: "When this battle is over, I will ask the imperial court to give you a middle- and upper-level official position." Then, you remember to bring the dowry and come to my house to propose. ”

"Huh?"

Guo Jia looked surprised, this was the first time he had been stunned by Lu Bu, and he was confused.

"Could it be that you want to be my Lu Bu's son-in-law as the head of the district?" At this time, Lu Bu was able to understand the painstaking efforts of Old Man Yan back then.

"Da Sima, when did I say that I want to be your son-in-law?" Guo Jia was so angry and funny, he didn't expect Lu Bu to come to such a show.

Lu Lihua turned a deaf ear, and then said: "Fengxiao, you are twenty-two years old this year, and you should start a family." Bai'er, well-behaved and sensible, gentle and lovely, is young and beautiful at the age of twenty-eight. Not long ago, I asked the warlock to give you two calculations, and it just so happened that heaven made ......"

Listening to Lu Bu's big words, Guo Jia's face was difficult: "Da Sima, I think you have misunderstood." ”

"Why, isn't the righteous daughter of the dignified Sima worthy of you!" Lu Bu's face changed, and his eyes stared at the young man next to him, as if there were signs of anger.

"Jia was born poor and has shallow eyes, so I'm afraid I'm not worthy of Da Sima's righteous daughter."

"You don't talk to me about these things, you have a correspondence with Bai'er Yueyue, you don't know about me?" Lu Bu seems to know everything well, if it weren't for the recent change in his impression of Guo Jia, he wouldn't let this prodigal son marry his daughter.

When it came to this, Lu Bu simply asked Guo Jia to give an exact answer: "In a word, you just say whether you are willing to marry or not." ”

Guo Jia was silent, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Well, since you don't open your mouth, then I won't force you."

Guo Jia didn't squeak, Lu Bu seemed to have an indifferent attitude, and said indifferently: "In recent days, the Son of Heaven has been electing the women of the official family to enter the palace, and I will ask my wife to send Bai'er to the palace when I catch Ming'er." ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia finally had a trace of panic on his face: "Da Sima, don't ......"

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Looking at the smile of the old chicken thief on Lu Bu's face, Guo Jia knew.

He's fooled.
