Although Gao Shun is only a commander at the moment, Lu Bu has already given him the training of the 500 people under his direct control, so whether it is military discipline or cooperation, these 500 people are much better than at the beginning.

Gao Shun's offensive formation was similar to a cone type. Han Lai and a hundred of the strongest and most experienced soldiers were cone-headed, with swords, shields and spears in pairs, followed by a sword, shield and two archers.

If it were a real battle, this kind of troop allocation ratio might break the formation faster, but the role of archers would be greatly reduced after close combat. If there are too many archers, even if the formation is broken, the opponent is likely to be counterattacked. But today is a competition, as long as the formation is broken,

The formation was completed and there was no need to fight anymore. Gao Shuncai arranged a large number of archers.

As soon as they drummed up, Gao Shun's conical team slowly approached the circular formation with rhythmic footsteps.

"shoot!"

When the generals of the circular formation saw their opponents entering the area of ​​an arrow, they began to order arrows to be fired.

Arrows rained down from the sky, and I saw the soldiers in the sharp cone formation who had been standing relatively loosely gathered quickly, holding their shields high, and the arrows without arrowheads hit the shields, like rain hitting tiles, and after a chaotic crackling sound,

Not a single soldier in Gao Shun's army was hit by a bow or arrow.

The moment the sound stopped, the gathered soldiers quickly dispersed. Taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's two waves of arrows, the archers who had already filled their bows quickly reflected, dyeing the circle with a little green.

The soldiers who were shot left the formation on their own, and the archers and spears at the rear of the circular formation were temporarily missing a small hole.

After four rounds of shooting, Gao Shun's side was eliminated with only a dozen people, while the round formation was eliminated with nearly a hundred people. However, the round formation is highly elastic, and the opponent quickly shrunk the formation, leaving gaps everywhere.

People were added again, and except for being smaller in size, the formation did not break up.

The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Hundreds of strong soldiers with spears, swords and shields, led by Han Lai, were like a sharp awl inserted into the corner of the circular formation. The dye-stained long sticks continued to stab and pick along the gaps in the opponent's shield. The archers from behind

Shooting continued, but now there were more casualties, and soldiers were eliminated almost every moment.

Hu Zhen, who was watching the battle from a high place, was observing the formation of the three parties below. His face was completely blue. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Lu Bujun would be the first to break the formation, and his own army might be the first to break the formation.

The soldiers were all killed and the formation could not be broken.

Niu Fu looked at Hu Zhen with a proud look on his face, "Hu Wencai, get ready, we are going to start doing the Ju Yue Qu Yun."

Hu Zhen's chest rose and fell rapidly, and it took him a long time to resist the urge to hit someone.

He glanced at Niu Fu and snorted, "Don't be too proud. It can be said that Lu Bu is completely better than the two of us in this competition. This man is very capable. If he marries Qing'er again, my lord will not have you."

What position is it?"

The smile on Niu Fu's face suddenly disappeared. Hu Zhen felt a little better and said, "I heard that Qing'er has been running to Lu Bu's tent every day since she came back, either bringing food or clothes. It seems that these two

Good things are coming."

When they heard that Cao Cao had arrived, Hu Zhen pouted and said, "Well, Qing'er came to see Lu Bu again."

Niu Fu turned around to look, and saw Dong Qing's little hooves wearing men's clothes, running towards this side nondescriptly. He didn't know what the lord liked about this girl. She didn't have any reserve of a woman. She was really far worse than his wife.

Dong Qing rode up to the stand and said to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu with excitement, "Father, sir, the imperial court's reward has been received. You should go back to the city to receive the order."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, he stood up and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Just now, let's go quickly!"

Dong Zhuo hurriedly called to Lu Bu, "First of all, let's go. Follow me back to the city to receive the order."

He took two steps and then turned back, saying to Duan Xuan and Peng Guan, "You two are looking at the statistical results. Come to my house tomorrow and I will have a good celebration."

Then he looked at Hu Zhen and others, "And you are waiting, come together!"

The long-awaited title finally arrived. Dong Zhuo was full of joy and hurried back to the city with Lu Bu and Dong Qing in tow.

Niu Fu and Hu Zhen looked at the backs of the three of them and looked at each other. The two working together once again had a tacit understanding.

When Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu returned to the palace, Wu had already set up the incense table. Dong Zhuo didn't bother to bathe and change his clothes. He straightened his appearance and stepped in to listen to the edict announced by the chamberlain.

In front of the incense table, the fair-faced chamberlain glanced at Dong Zhuo, unfolded the brocade scroll in his hand, and a high-pitched voice slowly sounded: "In the autumn of the third year of Zhongping, in the tenth month of Guiyou, the Emperor Liu Hong granted Dong Zhuo the title of Marquis of the Countryside, and the edict said: Poolu

General Dong Zhongying preceded Meiyang

The county defeated the rebels, beheaded 3125 levels, attacked Wangyuan again, killed the rebel leader Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, beheaded 4412 levels, and surrendered 3352

He will promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty, bring peace to the three assistants, and benefit 2,000 Zhongying households."

When Dong Zhuo heard about the title of Marquis of Zhuxiang, Dong Zhuo's smile fell slightly. He thought that for such great achievements, he should be granted the title of Marquis of Xixian County, but unexpectedly he was just a Marquis of Township. Although His Majesty gave him more land, his rank was much lower.

After the chamberlain finished reading, he handed the imperial edict to Dong Zhuo, with a flattering smile on his face, "Congratulations to the Marquis of Zhexiang. Among the generals who suppressed the rebellion this time, only the general was awarded the title of Marquis. Congratulations!"

Dong Zhuo put away his hesitation and returned the greeting, "Thank you very much!" He then asked, "Does your Majesty have any other wishes?"

The chamberlain suddenly realized, "There is also an edict of immunity for Lu Bu."

He patted his forehead and said, "Look at me, I was so happy that I almost forgot about this."

After saying this, he took another piece of brocade silk from another chamberlain and handed it to Dong Zhuo, "I won't read this piece anymore. Your Majesty has forgiven Lu Bu of his crime and also rewarded him with some money and cloth."

Dong Zhuo handed the brocade silk to Lu Bu, took the money bag from the servant's tray and stuffed it into the hands of the chamberlain, "Thank you for bothering the chamberlain to go all the way!"

The chamberlain felt the shape of the things inside, shook the purse again, and said with a smile, "It's not hard to work for the Marquis, it's not hard."

Dong Zhuo said politely again and asked someone to take the eunuch who had delivered the order to go down to rest.

He sat next to the incense table, reopened the imperial edict and read it again. He probably understood why your majesty only made him the Marquis of Zhuxiang. Although he killed the two rebels this time, Han Sui and Li Wenhou were not eliminated, and the Liangzhou rebel army could be attacked at any time.

It may be possible to integrate them and cause chaos again. His Majesty is afraid that the reward will be too high at once, and it will be difficult to reward him if he performs meritorious service next time.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo's disappointment because of the gap with expectations was swept away. After all, he, Dong Zhongying, was also a prince.

However, Dong Qing was still dissatisfied, "My father has made great contributions this time, so how come he was granted the title of Marquis of a Countryside, and even Fengxian was only rewarded with a small amount of money."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "My son, don't complain. Fengxian got away with it this time as he wished. Given his bravery, are you afraid that he will not be able to make meritorious deeds in the future?"

Lu Bu stepped forward and saluted Dong Zhuo, "Thank you, my lord, for taking the trouble to exonerate the last general!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "I'm just reporting your achievements. I'd better do it myself first."

He looked at the darkening sky outside and said, "Xian Feng will not go back to the military camp today and will stay in the mansion."

Hearing this, Dong Qing glanced at Lu Bu secretly. Thinking of Hua Xiong's idea for her, her cheeks slowly burned, and she quickly lowered her head.

Lu Bu said, "General, I'd better go back to the camp first and come back tomorrow to ask for a drink from my lord."

"Forget it, the results of the competition outside the city should have come out, so you can go and have a look. The money and silk your Majesty has given you will be deposited at your residence first. I will buy you a house in the city tomorrow. In half a year, your filial piety will be here.

You are not young, you should marry a wife and take care of the housework."

Lu Bu glanced at Dong Qing subconsciously, and seeing the shame on her face, an unknown premonition arose in his heart. He hesitated for a moment, and half-truthfully said, "Excuse me, my lord, for worrying about the general. To be honest, the general was in Jin last year."

Yang was rescued by a woman when he was in trouble, and I promised her that I would marry her in the future. I will return to Jinyang to marry her when she is old enough in three years, and there is no rush to buy a house."

"Oh? Is there anything else? Who is that woman?" Although Dong Zhuo asked Lu Bu, he looked at Dong Qing.

Dong Qing knew that his father was asking her questions and nodded lightly.

"Just a commoner woman." Lu Bu replied.

Dong Zhuo frowned, "A commoner woman? Then you can take her as a concubine in the future. Fengxian is so brave and his future is limitless. You must marry someone worthy of your status."

Lu Bu said firmly, "She has a life-saving grace for the general. I have made a promise to her and I dare not lose my faith."

Dong Zhuo saw that his daughter had a bad look on her face and waved to Lu Bu, "You can leave the city now! We will discuss this matter later."

"Goodbye, general!" Lu Bu cupped his hands, turned and left the hall.

After Lu Bu left, Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to ask Dong Qing, "Why didn't you mention this to your father when you came back from Jinyang?"

Dong Qing snorted, "That woman is just a lowly merchant, and she is not worthy of Fengxian at all. Why do you want to bring her up?"

"But as a father, I see that Fengxian is determined to marry her. As a father, I can't force anyone to do such a thing."

Although he really wanted to recruit Lu Bu as his son-in-law, if he did not force him to marry his daughter willingly, this would not be a marriage, but a feud.
