The middle-aged scribe's face was blue and white, and even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

He didn't dare to be slacking off anymore, so he humbly asked: "In the lower dullness, please teach me the little gentleman." ”

"Fourteen finch, eleven swallows." Guo Jia gave an understatement to the answer, then ignored the scribe and left with the waist of the joke.

The middle-aged scribe pinched his knuckles again and counted the answer carefully, and it was true!

I underestimate the world!

The middle-aged scribe saw Guo Jia leave and hurriedly chased him out.

"Little sir, please wait." The middle-aged scribe shouted as he ran.

Guo Jia paused, glanced at the scribe, and said in a cold tone: "What, Your Excellency still has to make things difficult?" ”

"Mr. Xiao is only eight buckets high, and I can't do it."

The middle-aged scribe sighed to himself, and saluted Guo Jiazuo, who was more than ten years younger than him: "In Huaxin, in the lower plain, if you want to have a relationship with Mr. Xiao, may I ask Mr. Xiao's surname?" ”

Guo Jia doesn't care about this person, the person he likes is the one he likes, and the person he doesn't like, it's useless to please him no matter how you please.

Without saying a word, he strode away.

Leaving Hua Xin standing in place, he looked at Guo Jia's thin figure, but he didn't have the cheekiness to catch up again.

Two months later, it was winter.

From Liangzhou, news came that shocked the government and the opposition, and the Han army ordered to conquer Xiliang was all wiped out, and Geng Ren, who led the army, was beheaded and sent to Beijing.

Subsequently, Ma Teng, Song Jian, and Han Sui raised a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses to invade Guanzhong.

As soon as this news came out, the imperial court was greatly shaken, and the officials were even more panicked, worried that the rebels would break through Chen Cang and go straight to Sanfu.

hurriedly ordered Lu Bu to lead the army to resist, and Lu Bu took the opportunity to mention the matter of surrender again.

This time, no one from the Manchu officials came out to refute it, and they only hoped that this group of plague gods would be sent away as soon as possible.

Lu Bu, who took the holy decree, set off to Chencang, and after meeting with Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Song Jian, he read out the imperial decree: Feng Ma Teng was the general of Zhengxi, Song Jian was the general of Zhenxi, and Han Sui was the Taishou of Jincheng and the general of Fushun Zhonglang.

The three people who worshiped the high-ranking officials immediately thanked Lu Bu, and invited Lu Bu to have a banquet in the army, before they quit the army and returned to Liangzhou.

At this point, Xiliang, which had been in turmoil for several years, temporarily entered a period of peace.

At the end of the year, there was a heavy snowfall in Chang'an City, which wrapped the entire city in silver.

The Son of Heaven set up a big banquet in the Jade Hall of Weiyang Palace and invited the ministers and hundreds of officials, and Lu Bu was also among them.

This year, the world was turbulent and too many things happened.

But for Lu Bu, it was a crucial year. not only got rid of Dong Zhuo's confinement, but also sent the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials into the customs and firmly controlled it in his own hands.

Lu Bu, who had temporarily left his wife and children, came out of the mansion and headed in the direction of the palace.

Pedestrians on the street wore thick jackets and shrunk their bodies as they walked awkwardly along the road.

Lu Bu lowered his head and thought about things, Gai Xun has become the new Liangzhou pastor, these days, Lu Bu often receives letters from the old man, saying that he is very grateful to Lu Bu for his recommendation, and also sent him a lot of Liangzhou specialties, as well as some exotic flowers and plants.

Lu Bu was not very interested in these, but Wei Niang liked them very much, and they all moved into her garden and took care of them.

At the same time, Jiang Jian was also recommended to become the county guard of Tianshui, responsible for the settlement of the people of Luoyang in the Tianshui area.

Coupled with Ma Teng, who controlled the Weigu area, most of Liangzhou was within the control of Lu Bu. As long as it is stable for a few more days, even if Han Sui and Song Jian want to rebel, Lu Bu can also call on everyone to destroy them.

When the pedestrians on the road saw Lu Bu, they took the initiative to retreat and give way. It's not that they know Lu Bu, but that Lu Bu is dressed now, with brocade clothes and jade belts, and he is no longer the stunned guy in linen and thick pants back then.

The dragon and the tiger walked, and on his body, there was a sense of majesty of a mature man.

The people regarded him as the lord of the big family.

When he came to the palace, Lu Bu was about to enter the palace, when he suddenly heard someone behind him greeting him: "Wen Hou, wait for the old man." ”

Lu Bu looked back, and the old man with the hem of the dress hurried in a hurry, with a kind face, wearing the dress of the third prince, and his temples were white.

Today is the Son of Heaven banquet for hundreds of officials, so all the courtiers have changed into solemn dresses, instead of the court clothes worn when they were in the past.

If he hadn't known this person, Lu Bu would have really been confused by his kind appearance.

Lu Bu's face remained unchanged, and his tone was as flat as usual: "Wang Situ, what did you call me?" ”

For this old man who set up a 'beauty scheme' to harm himself in his previous life, Lu Bu didn't have much affection. What's more, Wang Yun in the previous life has been using Lu Bu all the time, and he is not even a confidant, he just treats him as a pawn in his hand.

When Wang Yun was proud of his youth, he was known as Wang Zuozhicai, and he entered the imperial court as an official in middle age, and was later persecuted by the ten permanent servants, and the officialdom was frustrated and forced into exile.

When he re-entered the court in old age, he preferred conspiracy and petty techniques, was obsessed with power, and was stubborn and self-serving. He was loyal to the Han family and hoped that the Han would be revived in his own hands, but at the same time, he was also small and excluded dissidents.

Lu Bu's cold reaction made Wang Yun feel displeased, when other officials saw him, which one of them didn't politely salute and shout 'Situ Gong'? You often have a cold face, who to show it!

Although he was unhappy in his heart, with Wang Yun's city government, he would definitely not show it.

He walked to Lu Bu's side, the smile on his face was still the same, and he said with a pleasant face: "Wen Hou hasn't been to the old man's mansion for many days, and a few days ago, someone gave the old man a sword. The old man didn't understand this, and wanted to invite Wen Hou to the mansion to taste and taste. ”

Since the woman can't impress Lu Bu, let's try a different weapon.

Wang Yun thought so, he wanted to win over Lu Bu, and it was not overnight.

Lu Bu is in charge of the dispatch of soldiers and horses in various fortresses in Guanzhong, and his own strength is also extraordinary, as evidenced by the battle of Tiger Prison Pass in the past.

Both of them were born in Bingzhou, and Wang Yun pondered that he and Lu Bu were fellow villagers in the same state, and it should be much easier to communicate.

However, Lu Bu never gave him face.

The prefecture is barren, and the scope and degree of education are far behind those in the Central Plains, and there are even fewer officials in the government and the opposition.

Therefore, Wang Yun has been in business for so many years, and it has always been difficult to have real party members. It wasn't until Lu Bu was promoted all the way that Wang Yun knew that his opportunity had come.

When he was under Dong Zhuo's command, Wang Yun thought about using Lu Bu's 'sharp sword' to kill Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu broke away from Dong Zhuo and came to Guanzhong with the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials.

This courage and courage made Wang Yun look at him with admiration, and he wanted to fool Lu Bu into his camp even more.

At that time, Lu Bu will be in charge of the external conquest, he will be in charge of the internal government, and the internal and external affairs will be corresponding, and the Han will be prosperous!

It's just that Lu Bu has not been in the trap, which makes Wang Yun quite a headache.

Faced with Wang Yun's expectant gaze, Lu Bu chose to refuse as usual, and found an excuse of 'busy military affairs'. He didn't want to be involved with Wang Yun again in his life, as long as this old man didn't take the initiative to find trouble, Lu Bu didn't bother to care about him.

As for the sword he spoke of?

Lu Bu didn't have much interest, and now he was a top-level configuration. The armor, combat boots, purple and gold crown given by the first emperor, plus the Zhongxing sword, the red horse under the crotch, and the halberd in the palm of the hand.

What more?
