A medium-length chapter of 4,000 words is not a lot, but it is still more than before. So, can I ask for some rewards?
………………………………………………Separating line……………………………………
"Welcome, but I don't have the tea or cakes to entertain you." Lu Bu said calmly.
"You have been surrounded in Baimenlou for a month. It is already good that you don't eat human flesh. I don't expect to have tea and cakes here." Xie Xin said indifferently.
It has been more than a month since Cao Cao besieged Xiapi.
Lu Bu has basically run out of troops and food, and has only 500 fighting soldiers under his command, but the problem of food and grass is a fatal injury. Coupled with the cold weather and the lack of enough cold-proof clothing, the number of soldiers is further reduced.
When you are poor, you want to change. Soldiers are not machines, they also have their own ideas. Knowing that following Lu Bu will lead to death, naturally they have other ideas.
For example, kill Lu Bu and then take his head to Cao Cao.
It's just that Lu Bu is a monk at the Golden Core stage, and he is a majestic person who defies heaven. Who would he dare to fight against?
At this moment, a letter of thanks came, arriving here without everyone noticing it.
"Tell me, do you have anything to do with me? If nothing happens, please don't disturb my rest. I will go out tomorrow to fight Cao Cao for three hundred rounds!" Lu Bu said impatiently.
"I'm looking for a fight with you, is that okay?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"I don't have time to accompany you! As the coach, I can't watch my men die on the battlefield!" Lu Bu retorted.
"Your subordinates...if you hadn't had Gao Shun, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao help you to retain them, I'm afraid that your troops would have secretly defected to Cao Cao?
And your generals are planning to take your head, and it won't be a matter of a day or two. I'm afraid that soon, they will put medicine in your food, and they will make you sleep for a few days even if the poison doesn't kill you." Thank you.
Xin found a place to sit in front of him with great interest.
"Please don't tell me the truth in front of me, okay?" Lu Bu said, clenching his fists.
"You actually knew it early on, didn't you?" Xie Xin asked.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly want to beat someone up!" Lu Bu stood up suddenly.
"Actually, I also want to give someone a slap in the face because he is too arrogant." Xie Xin stood up with a smile.
Soon, a huge noise came out, awakening everyone in Cao Jun and Lu Jun.
"What happened?" Cao Cao walked out wearing a fur coat.
"Reporting to my lord, there is a shocking sound of fighting coming from the Baimen Tower! One of the two parties fighting is Lu Bu, but I don't know who it is!" The scout quickly stepped forward to report.
"I'll go take a look!" Cao Cao immediately became interested.
Anyone who can fight so fiercely with Lu Bu must be a peerless strong man.
As Cao Cao, who loves talent as much as his life, how could he miss such a talent?!
But when he looked closer, he looked suddenly surprised.
"Sure enough, the only person in this world who can have a good fight with Lu Bu is him. No matter what, he has finally helped us a lot." Cao Cao smiled and returned directly to the camp.
"Lord, this is the best time to attack Baimen Tower..." Cheng Yu stepped forward to advise.
"Let them fight. At Hulao Pass, they didn't fight well enough. Now it's time to end it! And after they finish this fight, either Lu Bu will lose, or even if they win, they will be seriously injured. In this way, we will take down the Baimen Tower.
There won't be much resistance either!" Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Here!" Seeing that Cao Cao didn't intend to fight, Cheng Yu had no choice but to retreat.
"Thank you, kid, can't you do your best?" Lu Bu said angrily.
The two of them had played two hundred rounds, but in his opinion, Xie Xin was just playing tricks on him.
"I'll try my best, but you'll be dead!" Xie Xin said jokingly.
"Stop looking down on others!" Lu Bu exploded again, and then launched an even more fierce offensive.
The two of them went back and forth, and they fought like this for hundreds of rounds.
Xie Xin was holding the Immortal-Destroying Sword and seemed to be at ease; while Lu Bu was holding the Divine Ghost Fangtian Halberd, but he was already out of breath at this moment.
"Okay, I won't play with you anymore! Cut it off for me!" Probably because the fight was a bit boring, Xie Xin swung his sword at random, but easily cut off the Shengui Square Tianji.
"Ah!" Lu Bu was shocked. He didn't expect that the long sword in the opponent's hand could cut off his own Fang Tianji so easily.
"There's nothing surprising. The Immortal-Destroying Sword in my hand can kill even an immortal when it comes. And although the Fangtian Halberd in your hand was refined by an immortal, it is an ordinary soldier after all. How can the two be compared?"
Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Hmph, even without Fang Tianji, Lu still has a pair of fists!" Lu Bu immediately pounced on him.
Xie Xin also took back the Immortal-Destroying Sword just for fun, and then the two of them struggled together.
The fight between the two had gone on for a long time, so the generals of Lu Jun had gathered around to witness everything on the spot.
"It's that guy again!" Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at each other and said helplessly.
"Who is this person?" Chen Gong shouted in horror.
"The guy who fought to a draw with Marquis Wen at Hulao Pass in the past. After some investigation, he was the dean of Huaxia Academy in Zunyi County, Nanyang. His surname was Xie Mingxin, and his surname was Zishou!" Gao Shun said with a bitter smile.
"He is actually the dean of Huaxia Academy?!" Chen Gong had heard of Huaxia Academy and knew that the students there were very good, but he never thought that their dean was also very good.
But then he said with a little worry: "Depending on the situation, Marquis Wen may lose at any time. If Marquis Wen loses, I'm afraid we won't be able to support the sunset tomorrow.
No! It's best to prepare archers immediately to deal with that thank you letter!"
"No, Marquis Wen hates being disturbed when he is fighting!" Zhang Liao stopped Chen Gong.
But in his heart, half of him was familiar with Lu Bu's habits, so as a minister he couldn't disturb him. The other half was secretly praying that Lu Bu would be defeated, so that tomorrow Lu Bu's army would completely disappear.
If there is no one worthy of loyalty, the psychological pressure of changing jobs will be much lower.
Not to mention Zhang Liao's disloyalty and unrighteousness, he dragged his sick body into battle many times this month to help Lu Bu fight off Cao's troops who were attacking the city wall. If loyalty can be said to be valuable, then after a month of fighting, Zhang Liao's loyalty is worth
Without receiving supplies, it has quietly dropped to zero.
In popular terms, it means that Zhang Liao has treated Lu Bu with "the utmost benevolence and justice".
To seek refuge elsewhere at this moment is not called "surrendering to the enemy", it is just "changing jobs". Investigating the reason, who told Lu Bu not to replenish his loyalty value from time to time?
But the problem is that Lu Bu is now at the end of his rope, what can he do to supplement his subordinates?
With a cry of "Peng!", Lu Bu was already knocked away by Xie Xin.
"Have you admitted defeat?" Xie Xin asked with a smile.
"Complete defeat..." Lu Bu said a little discouraged.
"I'll give you two choices for the future. Do you want to listen? As a loser, listen to the words of the winners. That is the foundation of the foundation!" Xie Xin pointed out two fingers and waved them in front of Lu Bu.
"Then stop talking nonsense!" Lu Bu said unhappily.
"One will be chopped up by Cao Jun obediently, and the other will come to my Huaxia Academy to be a guard!" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Even if Cao Cao defeats me, he won't necessarily kill me?" Lu Bu retorted.
In his heart, his subconscious resisted being the so-called guard.
"Cao Cao may love talents, but Liu Bei does not!" Xie Xin whispered.
Lu Bu is not a fool, so he naturally knows what Xie Xin means.
Although Cao Cao loves talents, as long as he shows enough sincerity, it is not impossible to take refuge under Cao Cao's command. At most, his military power will be limited.
But Liu Bei is a standard hypocrite. Seeing that Cao Cao has himself, he will naturally become more powerful in the future. In order to avoid such a situation, he will naturally try his best to let Cao Cao kill him.
"Actually, there is nothing to consider. You are a rebel. Ever since you chose this path, you have been going against God. The reason why you have so many twists and turns in your life is actually a manifestation of what heaven does not allow.
Therefore, even if Cao Cao will not kill you because of Liu Bei, you will encounter more torture from heaven in the future, and you will end up dying even more miserably." Xie Xin gave him a little reminder.
"What about you? You are also a rebel!" Lu Bu retorted.
"That's why I came to give you some advice!" Xie Xin waved his hand and said.
"Relying on you, what's the point of giving me advice?" Lu Bu said unhappily.
"At least, I can help you withstand the attacks from Heaven!
Moreover, for you who don’t understand the world of cultivators at all, there are too many things to learn. If you are allowed to continue, I don’t know how much you will destroy the rules of the cultivator world!
Do you know? Many monks have suggested to me that they should send people to kill you." Xie Xin said impassionedly.
"But you want me, the mighty Lu Bu, to be a bodyguard..." The man is still very respectable.
"In this world, there are more than tens of millions of people who want to be my bodyguards. In the secular world, you are Marquis Wen, a powerful general. And I am just the dean of the Chinese Academy; but in the world of cultivation, I am the number one in China.
A member of the big sect, the Xiaoyao sect. But you are just a casual cultivator.
If we count those in the world of cultivation, you are only the lowest existence among monks. At the same time, because you are following the path of someone who defies heaven, you are the public enemy of all monks. Under such circumstances, if I had not taken the initiative to invite you now,
Normally if you come to seek refuge with me, I wouldn't even bother to take you in!" Xie Xin said nonchalantly.
"Then I won't vote!" Lu Bu immediately became stubborn.
"Well...it's a rare opportunity to make you stronger..." Xie Xin turned around and murmured a few words casually, but his voice was a little louder.
"Wait!" Lu Bu shouted immediately.
"What's wrong?" Xie Xin said impatiently.
"Can you really become stronger? With you...better than you?!" Lu Bu said excitedly.
"As long as you work hard, maybe you can!" Xie Xin did not deny it.
"Okay, I admit it!" Lu Bu looked at his subordinates and then agreed.
"Marquis Wen, let me wait..." Gao Shun stepped forward and asked.
"If you come with me because of the reason, just follow me! If you don't want to follow me, the world is so big, where is there no place for talents like you?
Don't think that I don't know, you have already had second thoughts..." Lu Bu said angrily.
The person who originally had a ghost in his heart immediately lowered his head when Lu Bu said this.
"Hey... I can't help him up after all..." Chen Gong said disappointedly.
"Master, you are also a rare first-class strategist. It would not be good to be buried here. Of course, I also know that you disdain to work for Cao Cao, so how about I recommend you to vote for Gongsun Sheng? With my letter of recommendation, your career will be certain
It went very well!" Xie Xin smiled and shook the recommendation book in his hand.
"Okay!" Chen Gong thought for a moment and agreed decisively.
Although the Lu Boshe incident did not happen, with Cao Cao's development to this day, Chen Gong still knew that his ideas were completely wrong with Cao Cao. If he were to vote for Cao Cao, he would simply be unhappy for himself.
The most important thing is the letter of recommendation from the thank you letter. As long as he has that thing, his official career under Gongsun Sheng is destined to be smooth sailing. How can he miss such a good opportunity?
A night of preparation and the next morning.
When Cao Cao was about to launch a new round of siege, the White Gate Tower had already been opened.
Lü Bu's generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, Zhang Liao and others tied their hands and opened the door with 500 remaining soldiers to surrender.
After being recruited by Cao Cao, the young men like Wei Xu and Song Xian joined Cao's army with tears of gratitude. However, when they arrived at Zhang Liao's place, Zhang Liao hesitated for a long time.
Finally, under Liu Bei's advice, Zhang Liao reluctantly agreed to Cao Cao's surrender and joined his command.
Liu Bei also gained favor with Cao Cao and relaxed his vigilance towards him.
Of course, Cao Cao also discovered that Chen Gong, Gao Shun and Lu Bu were not among those who surrendered, so he asked.
Only then did we know that Chen Gong had gone north to seek refuge with Gongsun Sheng before dawn;
Gao Shun and Lu Bu, with the help of Xie Xin, went to Nanyang Huaxia Academy and served as guards for the academy.
Although Cao Cao thought this ending was a bit ridiculous, he could accept it.
Ten days later, Zunyi County, Nanyang County.
"Brother Mi, please take good care of me in the future!" Cao Bao said with a wry smile.
He is also a completely polished commander at this moment, but with the help of Xie Xin, he and his family moved to Zunyi Township with Lu Bu and others.
"Don't worry, thanks to that boy, I have prepared more than 300 acres of land for you! Moreover, Nanyang County has been renovated very well now. Even if there is no land, investing in building a factory or something will make you a lot of money!"
Mi Zhu said with a smile.
At this moment, he was also the county magistrate of Nanyang County. He was Huang Zhong's deputy, in charge of matters such as farming, mulberry, money and food. But what made him helpless was that there were two county magistrates in Nanyang County, and the other one was Huang Zhong's clan brother.
Huang Shang is in charge of the army, public security and commerce.
However, as the so-called "specialization in skills" meant, he was originally a landlord, and his knowledge, connections and resume were not as good as Huang Juncheng's, so he accepted it.
Anyway, at least he is an official!
What's more important is that this time he became an official because of his true talents and learning, not because his boss took a fancy to his family's money and food. For him who had always been regarded as a food bag before, he was naturally very happy at this moment.
Lu Bu and Gao Shun became guards. The difference was that Lu Bu joined the Xiaoyao sect's guard force, while Gao Shun became a squad leader under Dian Shang.
The power is reduced a lot, but I have to say that the two feel that such a life is also good.
What's even more rare is that Lu Bu lost his wife in his early years and had only one daughter to follow him. But when he came to Huaxia Academy, he fell in love with her when he saw Ren Hongchang.
Without him, because the two were originally fellow villagers, when they were very young, the relationship between the two was good. I didn't see it for ten years. The once goodwill was turned into a love.
As for Xie Xin, it doesn't matter.
Because Diao Chan's beauty, the aesthetics of that era had such a little problem. The beauty of Diao Chan did not conform to his aesthetics, so he never intends to income a private house.
The two soon got into the sea and couldn't extricate themselves. In the end, they were booked in 199. That is, Jianan's four -year late marriage. Since then, Lu Bu has become Xie Yi's consecration.
