Chapter 311: Lu Fan
When Sun Ce came, he was a light cavalry, and he was extremely fast, more than fifty miles away. It took him half a day to arrive. Now that there are sisters Yuan Quan, he can't run like that anymore, so he can only walk slowly. He left Ruyang and just entered Nandun County, it was dark. Anyway, he could not arrive in Pingyu County today, so Sun Ce decided to stay in Nandun for one night and leave again tomorrow morning.
Sun Ce had passed by Nandun once before, but he had no idea. Yesterday he had a conversation with Guo Jia and found out that Nandun had a great origin. The father of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had made Nandun orders and died in office. Liu Xiucai was nine years old at that time. He should have been bullied in Nandun and had a bad impression of Nandun. So later, Nandun refused to reward more and only wanted to rent a lot for a year. Unexpectedly, Nandun's elders were not satisfied. They wanted to have ten years, but Liu Xiu refused. Nandun's elders were ridiculed and ran, and finally forced Liu Xiu to add another year.
Therefore, Sun Ce had a deeper feeling about the folk customs of Nandun. Even the emperor dared to force him. He was a big shot as a Yuzhou master. It would be better to be low-key and cause less trouble.
But he did not follow his wishes, so he rushed to the Huangting west of Nandun City. As soon as he was about to ask someone to contact the accommodation, a group of more than a hundred people rushed over from behind. The carriage, horses, and pedestrians and bows were all on their waists, and they passed by with murderous aura. The momentum was comparable to a large army and even more awesome than him, the governor of Yuzhou. There was a light car in the middle of the team, with one person sitting on it, about twenty-five and six, with his waist straight, dignified and majestic, and he looked like a ruthless character. Seeing Sun Ce from a distance, he raised his hand and the knights beside him immediately issued an order.
"end!"
In an instant, more than a hundred people stopped and strangled their mounts.
What a ban! Sun Ce was surprised. Is this man the general who led the troops? Chen Dao surrounded him in case of an accident. Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled that he didn't have to be nervous. These people were not wearing armor and the bows on their waists were not stringed, unlike an army with tasks. Such behavior should be just out of habit.
The young man leaned on the carriage, stared at Sun Ce, and said a few words to the knight beside him. The knight came to Sun Ce, tied his mount and bowed his hand.
"Dare you dare to ask if you go to Pingyu County to join the army? My family leader saw that he was very arrogant and would like to walk with you."
Chen Dao glared at his eyes and was about to yell, but was stopped by Sun Ce. Sun Ce wanted to laugh, "Who is this guy? He is so awesome, how can he join the army and apply for recruitment? It's just a siege. But in this era, he has been used to the promotion of the Han people and is willing to tease him."
"Dare you ask the head of your family's family's name?"
The knight looked at Sun Ce, snorted, and his mouth almost turned to his ears. He raised his hand. "I don't blame you for your accent, unlike the locals. My head is named Lu Huifan, and his courtesy name is Ziheng. He is a famous hero in Nandun County. He is a high-ranking official in the county. He heard that General Sun recruited heroes to participate in the grand event, so he resigned and wanted to do something big with General Sun. Although you are young and a hero, if you join the army, you will be a colleague in the future and should make friends with him."
Sun Ce suddenly realized. Lu Fan, this is a heavy general of the Eastern Wu. His status in his camp was slightly inferior to Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the four governors, were more important than Cheng Pu and Gan Ning. In fact, he served as the commander earlier than Zhou Yu, but not because of his ability, but because of his loyalty. When Sun Ce was alive, Lu Fan was his confidant, loyal, and did not avoid difficulties and was responsible for the safety of the Sun family.
"Tell your head, you don't have to go to Pingyu anymore. General Sun is here."
"General Sun is here?" The knight turned around and looked around. "Where is it?"
Sun Ce raised his hand and pointed at his nose. "I am."
"You..." The knight suddenly reacted, looked at Sun Ce again, turned his horse's head, and went as if he was flying. He rushed to Lu Fan and said a few words. Lu Fan turned around and stared at Sun Ce for a while, jumped out of the car, swayed his sleeves, walked over with meteors, climbed at Sun Ce's reins, looked at Sun Ce carefully, and suddenly smiled with his palms. "Haha, that's right, it's indeed different." After saying that, he took a step back and bowed. "Lu Fan has seen the general."
Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, and smiled while returning the tribute, "Are you afraid of being deceived by me?"
Lu Fan shook his head. "The grass snake cannot pretend to be a real dragon, nor can it be a phoenix. Its appearance can be faked, and its temperament is natural." He reached out and pointed to the Qinghai Camp where Sun Ce rode. "This dragon horse is rare in the Central Plains, and it cannot be ridden by heroes." He pointed to the four-wheeled cart that sister Yuan Quan rode. "I have never seen such a luxury car in Runan before. I think it was made by Nanyang Wood School. The addition of the three is enough to prove the identity of the general. I was far away just now and could not see the appearance clearly. I was negligent. Now I have seen the general himself. If I read it wrong again, Lu Fan really has no eyes and is willing to destroy his eyes. From then on, I will lose his desire to seek fame and fame."
Sun Ce laughed. Although what Lu Fan said was a bit exaggerated, he said it was not bad. He dressed very ordinary, but Qinghai Camp was not an ordinary war horse. The four-wheeled cart that the sister Yuan Quan rode on was the first in the history of the Han Dynasty. Since Lu Fan wanted to join the army, he must have inquired about him and knew that Mu Xuetang was reasonable. With these factors, Lu Fan could bet on a bet.
Exaggerated speaking is actually a common method used by the Han people, and it is similar to Xu Shao's comments on Yuedan.
It has to be admitted that Lu Fan has extraordinary eyesight and judgment. His bet is not blind betting, but prepared. He brought so many people to apply for the recruitment, so he naturally made sufficient weighing the pros and cons, and thoughtfully the result. He even made the final decision after hearing the news that Xu Shao vomited blood yesterday, otherwise he would not have waited until today or now.
"Ziheng is not weak, these sergeants are very capable. Does Ziheng usually rule them with military tactics?"
Lu Fan bowed and was full of confidence. "The world is in chaos, and it is impossible to seek peace without a strong army. Although Fan is not talented, he has achieved some success in the past few years with military tactics. He has never met a wise ruler, so he is stubborn here and wait for the opportunity. Now that he has to meet a general, if I am willing to be a female slaughter, wouldn't it be a waste of my efforts?"
Sun Ce laughed. Lu Fan was very motivated. He should have come for the "Supporting Wife and Children". It doesn't matter. It's normal for human beings to pursue wealth and wealth, as long as the means are just right. Sun Ce looked around and said, "Zi Fan has many followers, and I'm afraid I can't stay in this pavilion and post. Why not camp in this wilderness, we hunt some wild animals, drink and talk. How about it?"
Lu Fan shook his head. "Fan thought it was inappropriate."
"Oh, why?"
"The general came to Bizhou for the first time, and may not be familiar with the situation. Yuzhou is too close to Luoyang, and the people are rich, and there are often defeated soldiers and bandits. There were Yellow Turbans before, and last year the defeated soldiers of Xiliang were attacked. Some time ago, I heard that the war in Pengcheng area was defeated. Many Yellow Turban remnants were defeated, and the stars were scattered all over the world. Some people flew to our Yuzhou. They were at least three or five hundred people, and they were as vicious as thousands. The general was invincible. It was natural that it would be fine. What if they disturbed the female family? "
Sun Ce looked back at the four-wheeled cart. The doors and windows were closed, and no signs were seen outside. How did Lu Fan know that there were female relatives?
Lu Fan smiled. "The general came from the north, so he naturally went to Ruyang. I went to Ruyang to worship General Yuan, met General's wife, and had a chance to meet him. He also had a few conversations. This car is not something that ordinary people can ride, and the doors are closed. If it weren't for General's wife, why would it be like this?"
Before Lu Fan finished speaking, two light coughs came from the car.
