It was late at night, and everyone holding the dancer had already gone to their own guest rooms to sleep. Dong Zhuo also went back to his room with Xin Na's beautiful concubine, Niu Fu went to find his wife again, and Duan Xuan had a house in Xi County, and he

Gone home.

Lu Bu, as Dong Zhuo's bodyguard, could only live in Dong Zhuo's house first. However, Li Su, who had made meritorious service with Lu Bu this time, had been promoted to the rank of military commander. He led 500 newly recruited Qiang soldiers and lived in the military camp outside the city. Wei Xu temporarily

He became a village chief under Li Su.

A servant came over to lead Lu Bu to the guest room. The two of them walked out of the hall and walked around a flower garden path on the left. They saw a person walking towards them. It was Dong Qing, the youngest daughter of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Qing was holding a clay pot in his arms. He saw Lü Bu bending his knees and saluting. With the dim light of the lantern in the hand of the maid, he looked at Lü Bu's handsome face and asked, "Why didn't the young general hug the dancing girl?"

Lu Bu: "..."

This little lady is really as fierce as her father!

Lu Bu said calmly, "Bu is still in the period of filial piety."

Dong Qing's somewhat heroic face showed a satisfied smile, "The young general is not only a hero! He is also a filial son!"

"My wife, I'm sorry, Bu is not a hero!"

Seeing Dong Qing staring at him with stern eyes, Lu Bu had an ominous premonition in his heart. He didn't want to get involved with women, so he cupped his hands and said, "It's getting late. Madam, go back and rest early. Say goodbye!"

Lu Bu turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Dong Qing stretched out his hand and blocked his way. She stuffed the jar into Lu Bu's arms and said, "This is supposed to be a hangover soup cooked for father. Who expected it to come a little late, so you can

Take it and drink it!”

"this……"

Lu Bu handed the jar back, "I don't need to sober up, thank you madam!"

"Then take a drink of water!"

"I'm not thirsty." Lu Bu stubbornly stretched out his hand holding the jar and said sincerely.

"You, you piece of wood!" Dong Qing snorted with some annoyance, took the jar and turned around to leave.

Lu Bu saw that she was angry, but he didn't take it to heart and followed the servant to the guest room to rest.

Lying on the couch, he took out the "Biography of Wen Tianxiang" from his arms and opened it carefully. Every word in it was written by Amo for him. Although the words were not very beautiful, every stroke was her intention. It was really

Miss her very much.

Now I just hope that His Majesty will pass away soon, and when Wang Situ returns to Luoyang, I can follow Dong Zhuo to Beijing and see A Mo again. There are still nearly three years, and I don’t know what A Mo will look like by then.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu sat up again, opened the door, went to find a servant to get a pen, ink and cloth, and began to write a letter to Zhang Mo.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu sealed the bamboo tube of credit and went to find the steward of Dong Zhuo's house, asking him to help deliver it to the inn.

This is not because Lu Bu is lazy, but because the post stations in this era only deliver official letters, civilians have no right to send letters through the inns. What's more, Lu Bu is not even a civilian now, so he can only borrow Dong Zhuo's connections.

Butler Dong took the bamboo tube and the address and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, young general, I will help you deliver it today."

"Then thank you sir!" Lu Bu bowed his hand.

"You're welcome, little general!"

Steward Dong put the bamboo tube into his sleeve and said to the servant next to him, "I'm afraid the young general is hungry. Please lead the young general to have some food."

Lu Bu followed the servant and left. Steward Dong was about to go to the study to seal the letter. At this time, Dong Qing came over from behind a bush of flowers, stared at Steward Dong's sleeves and said, "But General Lu wants to send a letter? I just want to go out of the city to walk my horse.

I'll help you take it to the inn on the way."

Dong Qing grew up in Liangzhou and learned good equestrian skills. He would go out for a horse ride in the city every day. Butler Dong did not doubt that he was there, so he gave her the letter and said, "Go to the study first to seal it."

"I know!"

Dong Qing took the letter, but went straight back to her room. She looked at the address first, and it was Zhang Mo, Juyizhuang, outside Dongcheng, Jinyang County, Taiyuan County.

"It's a woman? Could it be that he is in love with her?"

Yesterday, Dong Qing fell in love with Lu Bu at first sight. Before the banquet started, she asked her brother-in-law Niu Fu for detailed information about Lu Bu. They heard that he defeated the enemy's three-way army formation with one person and shot many enemy generals to death.

Her admiration for him became more and more uncontrollable, and she even inquired about his past.

In Dong Qing's view, although Lu Bu is a fugitive, he has made great achievements this time. With his father's support, her future is limitless. She has reached the age of talking about marriage. If she can marry Lu Bu, she will be much better than her sister.

.

My brother-in-law has no abilities, is timid and afraid of death, and looks very average. He is simply incomparable to Lu Bu.

Thinking that Zhang Mo might be Lu Bu's best friend, Dong Qing did not hesitate, used a knife to scrape the seal of the bamboo tube, took out the cloth and read it.

The more she looked at it, the sadder her heart became, and at the same time she fell in love with Lu Bu more and more. She never expected that this iron-blooded man also had such a tender side, and his longing and concern for the woman were everywhere in every word.

After Dong Qing read the letter, he hesitated for a while, took a flint, lit a candle, and put the letter on the fire. In a short time, it burned into a ball of ashes.

Over there, Lu Bu had breakfast, and Dong Zhuo and others got up one after another. These people were in really good physical condition. They exercised all night last night, and they were still very energetic when they woke up this morning.

Most of the soldiers in the army had returned home for the holidays, but arrangements had not yet been made for the newly recruited troops. Dong Zhuo waited for dinner and then left the city to go to the military camp together.

Dong Zhuo now has a total of 10,000 troops under his command, including 4,000 infantry, led by Dong Yue and Duan Xuan with 2,000 each; and 6,000 cavalry, including 3,352 newly recruited Qiang soldiers.

Almost all the original generals of the army were shot dead by Lu Bu. It can be said that they were a group of ownerless skirmishers. All the generals under Dong Zhuo were waiting to be divided.

However, Dong Zhuo obviously had plans for the new recruits.

"This time our army was able to successfully break through and kill the rebels, Fengxian should be the main contributor. Although Fengxian is guilty, his achievements have been reported to the imperial court. I believe he will be exempted from guilt in the near future. I intend to let him go for the time being.

As for taking the post of Sima, allocate 2,000 troops to surrender to him, and the rest to Wencai and Zizuo, do you have any objections?"

Dong Zhuo's current military position is not high. He was a fourth-rank Zhonglang general when he went to Jizhou to pacify the Yellow Turbans. During the Pingliang Prefecture rebellion, he was a Zhonglang general. Because he failed to make any achievements, he was demoted to a fifth-rank Polu general.

Not to mention Dong Zhuo, there were Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, two people who made great achievements in the war during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The imperial court only gave them the position of Zhonglang General. After the war, they took back their military positions and only awarded them knighthoods.

At this time, generals at the level of Zhonglang General and Colonel Lieutenant were very valuable. The highest position Dong Zhuo could give was to his subordinate Army Sima. His current subordinates include Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, and the newly appointed Lu Bu. .

Even Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji are only at the rank of military commander now, and Liu Jing is the Sima of Anding County. Due to the Liangzhou rebellion, he was temporarily under the command of Dong Zhuo, and he is not counted as Dong Zhuo's relative general.
