Chapter Eighty-Six: The Siege of the Upper Party
On the second day of the Qiangyang County incident, Lu Bu was called to Fuzhong by the old general. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The old general slashed his head and covered his face at Lu Bu is fierce reprimand, without leaving half a face.
Zhang Zhong sent someone to investigate Gao Shun, who used to be a centurion, and was later demoted to a ranch in Qiangyang County for committing a crime, and became a horse servant, which can be said to have no intersection with Lu Bu.
So the old general couldn't figure out why Lu Bu would be a horse servant and move the people so much, and even beheaded the county commander Du Zan and Zhang Yi's nephew Zhou Fu.
Such a hasty and reckless action is simply a taboo for generals.
Lu Bu stood below, not feeling that he was wrong at all, and straightened his waist. He has always been an arrogant person, and what he did was to conform to the will of the people, but now the old general has been blaming him, which made Lu Bu extremely dissatisfied and raised his head and said loudly: "What are the consequences, I, Lu Bu, will carry it alone, and I will never drag the general down." ā
When the old general heard this, his ruler-long white beard trembled, and he was so angry that he smashed a bundle of bamboo slips directly on Lu Bu, pressed his hands on the copy, and almost roared at Lu Bu: "Carry? What do you carry! Can you carry it! ā
Lu Bu's heart couldn't help but stagnate, the momentum on the old general's body at the moment completely suppressed him, this has nothing to do with the level of martial arts, but the momentum and majesty of the people who have been in power for many years. It's like one day when you become famous all over the world, when you see your childhood master with a straight face, you will still have relatives in your heart.
Lu Bu tilted his head to the side, but it was clear from his face that he was not convinced.
The old general exhaled deeply at this, leaned his arm against the copywriting table, rubbed the acupuncture points on both sides of his forehead with his hands, tried his best to calm the anger in his heart, and waved his other hand at Lu Bu, "You go down first, go back and reflect on it, when you figure it out, when you come to see me again." ā
Originally, the low-ranking generals and captains committed crimes, and Zhang Zhong, as the general of Zhenbei, could handle it with one hand, but Zhang Yi stabbed the matter to the imperial court, which was terrible. As a border general, Lu Bu interfered not only in government affairs, but also disarmed the local armed forces, executed the county order, and killed the son of the family...... No matter which one it is, it is enough for Lu Bu to be dismissed and exiled, even if he is sentenced to death.
The old general gave the order to expel the guests, and Lu Bu hugged his fists and turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Seeing Lu Bu come out, Han Lie, who was guarding the door, hurriedly took Lu Bu aside, looked around twice, and then lowered his voice and whispered, "Lu boy, you really got into a big disaster this time." I've been with the old general for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen him get so angry. Last night, the old general stayed up all night, and wrote more than a dozen letters in a row and sent them to Luoyang, all to intercede for you. ā
The look on Lu Bu's face was stunned for a moment, the people of Yanmen Pass didn't know that the old general had been fair and strict all his life. Now for him, at the risk of being criticized, he went to ask those dignitaries in Luoyang. However, the old general has no deep-rooted connections in Luoyang, and even if those letters arrive in Luoyang, I am afraid it will only be a drop in the bucket.
For a while, Lu Bu's heart was extremely mixed, and when he remembered the conversation with the old general just now, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He wanted to go back and apologize, but he thought that the old general was angry at the moment, and going back might only add fuel to the fire, so Lu Bu had no choice but to clench his fists at Han Lie and say, "Brother Han, please talk to the general, and say that Lu Bu knows that he is wrong." ā
Han Lie responded happily, in fact, he was extremely happy when he heard this yesterday, and he gave the old general a thumbs up, saying that Lu Fengxian, this kid, was neat and tidy.
Returning to the camp outside the pass, Lu Bu first went to visit Gao Shun from afar, and he was practicing rejecting the bow, and went to the next station under the sun, which was two hours.
Gao Shun is different from Yang Ting, who stabs Lou Zi every once in a while, he is burly on the outside, but he is subtle and cautious in his heart, especially the perseverance is strong, even Lu Bu is a little embarrassed.
Originally, he was going to let Gao Shun directly serve as a military marquis, but Gao Shun refused to agree, insisting on being an ordinary soldier, otherwise he would rather go back to feed the horses. This made Lu Bu sigh that Gao Shun was dead-hearted, and at the same time, he could only agree to come down with tears and laughter.
He was accompanied by Li Su, who was appointed centurion. However, Lu Bu had greeted him in advance, and the wolf cavalry camp was full of bloody and irascible men, and whether he could suppress the people under him or not depended on his own ability.
The wolf riding camp has always been a place where strength speaks.
After some inspection, Lu Bu entered his camp.
Seeing Lu Bu come in, Xi Ce put down the bamboo slip in his hand, but didn't get up, just smiled and asked, "What did the old general say?" ā
In the case of Qiangyang County, although Xi Ce did not personally participate in it, through Cao Xing's big mouth, he can be regarded as knowing all the events.
Lu Bu did not hide it, and told all the things and jokes of the old general condemning him.
After listening patiently, the deep eyes were as calm as ever, and there were no waves. He got up and returned the bamboo slips on the desk to their original places one by one, and didn't look at Lu Bu, but just said with a smile: "The old general is willing to scold you, this is a good thing, the more fierce the scolding, the better, which also just shows your weight and position in the old general's heart." ā
Lu Bu nodded as if a disciple had been taught, and waited until he had finished fiddling with the bamboo slips before sitting opposite him.
Six days later, there was a final conclusion on the matter of Qiangyang County.
The approval documents of the imperial court were first passed to Zhang Yi, the assassin, and then handed over to Zhang Zhong, and finally reported in turn.
The outcome of the matter shocked everyone. It probably means that Lu Bu is brave, and now that the imperial court is employing people, he will write down Lu Bu's sins for the time being, and wait until he fights with Xianbei, and then he will redeem his merits. In the end, Lu Bu was deducted for half a year's salary as a punishment.
Such a result, even the old general did not expect. He originally wrote to the old guys in Luoyang who still had a little bit of incense, hoping to save Lu Bu's life, but unexpectedly nothing happened.
At the beginning, the two factions of relatives and eunuchs quarreled many times over this matter, and later His Majesty the Emperor yawned and said, 'Keep it', so that everyone quieted down.
Lu Bu is a little painful about this, in addition to protecting his family and defending the country, the only thing he hopes for when he joins the army is a little bit of money every month, after all, he still expects this to marry a daughter-in-law, but now it is good, and it will be gone in half a year.
The most dumbfounded person has to be Zhang Yi, who thought that Lu Bu had committed several major crimes this time, and he would definitely die, so that he could avenge his dead nephew. Who would have thought that what he was waiting for was such an oolong result.
It is said that on the night when he learned the answer, Zhang Yi broke dozens of cups and bowls at home, but there is no way to verify whether it is true or not.
One day a few days later, there was an urgent news from Shangdang County.
An unknown bandit force suddenly broke into Shangdang and surrounded the county seat, and Jiang Zou, the county guard of Shangdang, asked the old general to send troops to rescue.
The old general made a quick decision and sent someone to call Lu Bu and ordered him to lead the wolf cavalry battalion to rescue Shangdang.
The population of Bingzhou is not large, there are a total of 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers in the formation, and more than 20,000 people were killed in the battle of Yanmen Pass, plus Zhang Zhong transferred 5,000 from various counties, resulting in an empty rear and no soldiers to defend in various places.
In addition, Shangdang County is quite far away from Yanmen Pass, and if the troops are mobilized on a large scale, the distant water will not be able to save the fire, and the Xianbei people have not completely withdrawn from the state, so it is difficult to carry out large-scale mobilization of troops to encircle and suppress.
Do you just give up Shangdang County?
Of course it can't be, Shangdang is the gateway to the south of Bingzhou, and the strategic terrain is not much better than Yanmen Pass. And the Yan family, the first family, settled in the party.
Therefore, Shangdang County absolutely cannot afford to lose.
And all this, only Lu Bu's wolf riding battalion can do.
After receiving the order of the old general, Lu Bu immediately gathered all the soldiers of the Qi Wolf Cavalry Battalion, put on armor and mounted his horse, and galloped to the southeast after leaving the camp to relieve the siege of the party.
