Chapter 83 Wish us happy cooperation, Zhang Changshi
When Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao brought the heads of Suli and Mika to Liu Bei and presented them to him, Liu Bei laughed and felt very relaxed and happy.
As expected, the Xianbei people could not defeat him, and his hard work had great results. The collapse of the Xianbei people again proved that the Han army was absolutely inferior to the threats on the northern grasslands. If this state continues, it will not take ten years.
By the year, he would be sure to wipe out the desert.
What are you waiting for?
Celebrate, joy!
Liu Bei captured supplies, as well as a large number of injured horses that could no longer be ridden. The dead horses made stew for the soldiers to eat so that they could quickly recover their strength. He then credited and commended the generals who had made great contributions, and then held a military meeting.
meeting to discuss the next march goals.
There is no doubt that the next goal is to eliminate Yuan Shao and annihilate Yuan Shao's army. After that, recover the Youzhou counties that were harmed by the Xianbei people, and then march to Liaoxi and Liaodong counties to wipe out all the Wuhuan people who are raging.
Finally, they went to the northern steppe to find the Xianbei tribe, and tried to teach the eastern Xianbei a lesson they would never forget in their next life.
There are still many war tasks ahead. This battle has just gotten off to a good start, but everyone is sharpening their swords and full of fighting spirit.
Liu Bei also rarely showed strong murderous intent.
"I want them to know that they cannot easily set foot in the Han Dynasty's counties at any time, otherwise, there will be a Jingguan built with their heads on the grassland!"
Liu Bei's murderous aura overflowed, and all the generals and senior staff officers present looked at him sideways.
They all know that Liu Bei is really angry this time. Once Liu Bei is really angry, those who are his enemies will be lucky if they can leave a whole body, and they will burn high incense.
Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu didn't know much about Liu Bei's character, but they felt such a strong murderous intention that they felt a sympathy for each other.
After the military meeting, Liu Bei took Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and other senior officers to a small internal banquet. Everyone ate some meat and drank some rice wine to celebrate.
Liu Bei first thanked Dong Zhuo for his generous help. In order to ensure that his fiefdom and hometown would not be invaded by Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo indeed took a great risk.
"General Dong risked his life to help Bei. Bei will definitely keep this kindness in mind and will not forget it."
Liu Bei offered Dong Zhuo a glass of wine, which made Dong Zhuo very happy.
He also raised his glass to return the favor to Liu Bei.
"The general is very kind to Zhuo. Zhuo is what he is today, thanks to the promotion and protection of the general. Zhuo deeply remembers the kindness of the general. This action is just taking advantage of the trend. There is no danger. Please don't do it."
Mind you."
"Hahahaha, General Dong's generosity is still fresh in Bei's memory. He recommended Huang to Bei's subordinates at first, and now Huang is an important lieutenant general in the army."
Liu Bei smiled, pointed at Lu Bu and said, "General Lu was also recommended to Bei by General Dong, and he has made great contributions to Bei. For this, Bei has to thank General Dong!"
When Lu Bu, who was drinking, heard this, he immediately straightened his posture.
Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, secretly envied his good luck, and said with a smile: "It is his blessing that Fengxian can be appreciated by the general. Zhuo only recommended one or two, and there is no great credit."
"Without recommendations, how can Bei get General Lu's help?"
Liu Bei raised his glass and gave a toast to Lu Bu: "How can we take the lead among thousands of troops? General Lu's bravery is something that Bei has seen. I hope that General Lu will continue to make great achievements in the future if he continues to work hard."
Lu Bu raised his wine glass.
"The general's expectations, Bu will never slack off! Bu will definitely fight hard to kill the enemy and let these barbarians know how powerful the Han's heavenly soldiers are!"
"Fengxian is brave! Hahahahahaha!"
Liu Bei laughed.
After a small internal banquet, all the generals returned to their respective tents to rest. Dong Zhuo took advantage of the breakup to call Lu Bu into his tent to talk.
"Fengxian, you are now an important general of the imperial court. You must pay attention to everything you say and do. You not only represent yourself, but also represent Bingzhou."
"Many people in both the government and the public have opinions about the people of Bingzhou. Don't pay too much attention to it. As long as the general trusts you, there will be no problem."
"Also, the weather is getting colder. Remember to wear more clothes when you go back so you don't catch a cold."
Dong Zhuo looked after Lu Bu like a loving father, which made Lu Bu feel a little strange.
This adoptive father has never been so kind at any time. Although the relationship is that of an adopted father and an adopted son, it is more of a superior-subordinate relationship. How can there be any kind of care between relatives?
Lu Bu had not experienced true fatherly love for a long time.
So what's going on?
So after taking care of him, Dong Zhuo Tuqiong met him.
"Fengxian, you are working as an official next to the general, and you often come into contact with the general. How come there is not such a good opportunity for my father? If you have the opportunity, try to say a few good words to my father.
, let the general see if there are any suitable positions for my father in Luoyang, and transfer my father to Luoyang."
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
Old guy, that’s what you mean.
I thought you suddenly had so much fatherly love that you had no place to release it.
But he has done a good job as a pastor in Bingzhou, so why should he go to Luoyang? A pastor in a state has great power, but you are still not satisfied with being a local emperor in Bingzhou?
Lu Bu then pretended not to understand and asked Dong Zhuo.
"Father, you, the shepherd of Bingzhou, are the lord of Bingzhou. You can make many decisions on your own. In Bingzhou, you are the first person. Wouldn't it be fun to do so? Why go to Luoyang?"
Dong Zhuo shook his head and sighed.
"Fengxian, at first, my father also thought that being a pastor of Bingzhou was quite good. He could make many decisions on his own. He was even the local emperor in Bingzhou. But after working for a long time, he realized that it was really not the case. It was not satisfactory.
There are too many places.”
"Unsatisfactory place?"
Lu Bu continued to pretend not to understand.
"Yeah, too many."
Dong Zhuo whispered: "If nothing else, a bandit from Bingzhou is enough to give me a headache, not to mention those Xianbei people and Huns who moved inland. Almost all the people in the north of Bingzhou are Hu people. Wuyuan County, Shuofang County,
In Yunzhong County, there are more Hu people than Han people. You are from Wuyuan County, don't you know?
To the east, Yanmen County is the place where the Bingzhou bandits and the Southern Xiongnu are arrogant. Shangjun and Xihe County are also often affected by the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu. There is no peace all year round. I, the Bingzhou Shepherd, can give orders.
How many counties and counties can there be?
Moreover, war does not break out in these places now. Once war breaks out, like what is happening in Youzhou now, will Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, be in trouble? He is finished. Neither Lieutenant Lu nor the general can save him. He has not
The future is bright!
His incident reminded my father that Bingzhou is not a stable place. Being a state pastor here has great power and greater responsibilities. If any problem occurs, my father, the Bingzhou pastor, will definitely be held accountable. You
Do you want to be accused as a father?"
What Dong Zhuo said is true. They are all real issues. Lu Bu, who grew up in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, also understands the truth here.
The weakening of border defenses and the inward migration of the Hu people have been a major trend since the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. It was under such an environment that Lu Bu, the Bingzhou flying general, achieved his success through passionate exchanges with the Xianbei people and the Huns day and night.
When he was young, Lu Bu remembered that his countrymen and the barbarians fought for three days and one big fight for five days. The reasons for fighting were all kinds of strange, and even the glances at each other became the reason for fighting.
When he got older, he would personally go into battle and face off against the barbarians passionately. If the barbarians looked at him one more time, he would gouge their eyes out, which was much more excessive than the villagers back then.
In order to compete for water and food, not to mention Han people and Hu people, Hu people and Hu people, Han people and Han people also often fight between each other.
All in all, this is a hot land where everyone is fighting each other day by day. Without any skills, weapons, and lives, you are embarrassed to say that you are from Bingzhou.
The deterrent power of the government can be imagined here.
There is indeed nothing going on now, but which one is easier to deal with, the Bingzhou bandits, the Southern Huns, and the Xianbei and Huns outside the country?
This time it’s Youzhou, if you can’t protect it, the next time it’s Bingzhou.
This time it was Gongsun Zan who was unlucky, but next time it will be Dong Zhuo?
If something goes wrong, who can protect Dong Zhuo?
Liu Bei?
He might not even be able to protect Gongsun Zan, let alone Dong Zhuo, who came from the Yuan family's former official?
It's no wonder that Dong Zhuo wanted to run to Luoyang. It was indeed a bit dangerous to continue to stay in Bingzhou.
Lu Bu thought for a while and nodded slowly.
"What the adoptive father said is reasonable. Bu will definitely mention this matter to the general and put in a good word for his adoptive father in front of the general!"
"Good! Good! Good! He is indeed a good son to his father!"
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily and patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, his face full of pride.
However, Lu Bu is obviously not a master who likes to work in vain. He fought for his life to win the position of general and became an important figure in the Han Empire. However, because of his lack of actual military exploits, many people have opinions about him, which makes him
Not too happy.
He wants more military exploits, so he needs more subordinates, but in fact, Li Su, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang currently under his command are not his subordinates yet.
