"Your Majesty, the Anbu and Shadow teams have a secret report for you." Dian Wei, who was guarding outside the house, interrupted Liu Ming's contemplation and smiled bitterly.
This spy report that came suddenly said simply: "The governor of Jizhou, Zongzheng Liu Yu, came to Youzhou to pay a visit to the Lord, intending to ask the Lord about the new legislation. Passing by Yuyang, Yuyang Prime Minister Liu Bei,
I had a great conversation with Master Zongzheng. Liu Bei was introduced as a confidant by Master Zongzheng, and Master Zongzheng specially checked out Liu Bei's genealogy so that he could recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. Liu Bei's ranking should be of the same generation as my lord."
Liu Ming looked at the secret report in front of him and wondered: Uncle Liu Huang is indeed a talent. Without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he is still doing well now. He has even completed the matter of recognizing his ancestor and returning to the clan. He is worthy of being genuine.
Dear Emperor. Moreover, this Uncle Liu was able to survive this rectification movement unscathed and was promoted. It can be seen that this Uncle Liu is indeed a good man who loves the people as his own son. No wonder Liu Bei is said to be benevolent and righteous in history. Now since this Uncle Liu
He has taken refuge in me. With his character, he should not do anything detrimental to me. If he can really assist me wholeheartedly, he will really be a good helper for me in governing political affairs. It seems that if I have the opportunity in the future, I
I have to reuse this Uncle Liu. However, the top priority now is not to consider this Uncle Liu. The visit of Mr. Zongzheng Liu Yu is much more important than this Uncle Liu. I have to think carefully about how to deal with this Mr. Zongzheng Liu Yu.
method.
At that moment, Liu Ming issued an order: "Send the order. Call Counselor Guo, Duke Yang and Cao will be in charge, and Fang Arbitration will come here to discuss the matter."
Not long after, these people came to Liu Ming and asked why their lord Liu Ming had called him and others here. They discussed with Liu Ming for a long time, and then they dispersed until they felt that the discussion was safe.
At this time, there was a burst of joy in the Yamen of the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion. Inside and outside the mansion, the main entrance hall and corridors were decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. There were many guests coming and going, all congratulating the Bingzhou Governor - Mr. Ding Yuan, for your success.
Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, was the adopted son of Ganzi.
At this time, Ding Yuan was sitting high on the Taishi chair produced in Youzhou, holding the wedding wine offered to him by his adopted son Lu Bu, and laughed happily. Ding Yuan married a young man, but has no children to this day. He has always been cited.
Out of hatred, even though I just accepted a son as a adopted son today, it somewhat alleviates my regrets. Especially this Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, Ding Yuan really loves him so much. This Lu Bu is from Jiuyuan, Wuyuan County in this state.
, (this place is west of today's Baotou City in Inner Mongolia and east of Wuliang Suhai) Born in a poor family since childhood, he was extremely talented at a young age. With a flick of his arms, he was able to exert thousands of pounds of supernatural power. When he was seven years old, he received guidance from a strange person.
Acquiring good skills, especially a Fangtian Painted Halberd, makes him even more unpredictable. This Fangtian Painted Halberd is originally a heavy weapon with a heavy head, and most people cannot practice it well at all, that is, this Lu Bu
, only with extraordinary strength can he be so outstanding. But these are not what Ding Yuan admires most about Lu Bu. What Ding Yuan admires most is Lu Bu's literary talent. This Lu Bu is not only a brave man, but also has good literary talent.
, and he is handsome. He usually wears fine clothes and pays attention to appearance. He is really a handsome and handsome man. Ding Yuan often sees the shadow of his own youth in Lu Bu.
At this time, a guest nearby said: "Master Governor, your young master has offered you wine, so please drink it."
Only then did Ding Yuan wake up from the trance caused by happiness. Ding Yuan held the wine and said happily: "Hahaha, I have to drink this wine, I must drink it."
Ding Yuan raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp. Then he put down the glass and said to Lu Bu: "My son, from now on, we are a family. As long as my father owns it, it is yours."
, my father will never treat you badly."
Lu Bu replied respectfully: "My child is loved and protected by my father. I will die to repay my father."
That night, the guests and hosts had a great time, and the banquet didn't end until dawn the next day. But after such a long banquet, Lu Bu was still in high spirits and in high spirits. There were so many guests toasting, but Lu Bu didn't even bother him.
How. This Lu Bu is really a bit of a freak.
Lu Bu waited for the guests to leave, directed his family, and waited for Ding Yuan to rest in peace. Then he returned to his home.
When Lu Bu arrived at his home, Lu Bu's confidants Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, etc. were already waiting there. Seeing Lu Bu come back, they all saluted and said, "I have met my lord." Then they stopped talking.
No more words.
None of these people went to attend Lu Bu's father-worshipping ceremony, because they all knew that Lu Bu was not willing to recognize Ding Yuan as his father. If a man can change his name or surname, he should find a godfather for himself.
What? So when these people saw Lu Bu coming back, they didn't celebrate that Lu Bu would become famous soon after he recognized his relatives. Instead, they didn't mention anything and stayed there quietly waiting for Lu Bu's orders.
Lu Bu looked at his confidants, who had been pretending to smile all day, and relaxed. The drunkenness that he had suppressed with his skills also came back a little. Lu Bu could only relax when he was alone with these people.
A mood of constant vigilance.
When I first received these people, I spent a lot of effort, but it was all worth it. Like Zhang Liao, whose courtesy name was Wenyuan, a native of Mayi, Yanmen (today's Shuo County, Shanxi), he was versatile in both civil and military affairs.
He was originally a descendant of Nie Yi (a businessman during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty who launched the "Mayi Conspiracy" to lure the Huns into war, but unfortunately ended in failure). I made friends with him through martial arts and helped him conceal his identity, so he changed it to
Wen Yuan was a very loyal person and would never betray him in this life. However, although Wen Yuan was a great talent, he was still young. In terms of strategy and experience, how could he compare to him?
My general Gao Shun, I think back then, Gao Shun was sick in a foreign country, ran out of food and clothing, and was trapped on the ground in Bingzhou. If it hadn't been for me, Gao Shun would have been seriously ill and died. It was also my lucky star that shone brightly.
By chance, he had a kind thought and saved his life. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a genius in commanding the army. After Gao Shun recovered from his illness, he vowed to follow him for life to repay the grace of saving his life. At that time, he
I tried his martial arts, but I didn't expect that his kung fu was really good. Then I took him in as a retainer and gave him some military management. Unexpectedly, this time it was beyond my expectation. I let him
The more than 700 soldiers under his command were called the Thousand-Man Team by him. The armors and fighting tools were all well-organized and well-organized. Every attack was defeated without fail. At that time, he was so happy that he gave him the name "Falling Camp".
'. It's a pity that this guy is too upright and doesn't understand any customs. He can only be described as innocent, majestic, brave and wise, and sincere and benevolent. He doesn't drink alcohol, and he doesn't receive gifts.
He and I are a little less happy together. On the contrary, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, although their literary skills and military skills are slightly inferior to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao is better than Zhang Liao, but they are extremely loyal to him, and they often talk to him very much.
Huan, deeply in line with his own taste, and also his indispensable confidant.
At this time, Gao Shun saw his lord Lu Bu coming in. After sitting down, his eyes were a little scattered and his mind was a little unclear. He looked at himself and others and giggled. He knew in his heart that his lord had been drinking wine all night, and now he was getting drunk.
Gao Shun poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Bu and said, "My lord, have a cup of tea and wake up."
Lu Bu took the tea cup and said, "I'm not drunk. How could I be drunk? I can't get drunk even after a thousand cups. Do you think so?"
Wei Xu and Hou Cheng complimented each other: "Yes, yes, yes. My lord is so powerful that no one in the world can match him. How could my lord be drunk?"
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, however, looked at Lu Bu without saying a word.
When Lu Bu heard Wei Xu and Hou Cheng's praise, he threw his head up and laughed. However, Lu Bu was not drunk after all. After laughing, he still raised his neck and drank the tea in the cup.
All dispersed.
When Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu's drunkenness had subsided, he added: "Be wise and act carefully. Although my lord is invincible and witty, you must be cautious. Being drunk and lax is often the root of disaster."
Lu Bu saw that Gao Shun was preaching again. Although he knew in his heart that Gao Shun said good words and good intentions, he still felt unhappy in his heart. Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "I know. I will pay attention to it in the future. Today's
How are you preparing for the operation?"
Gao Shun reported: "I am trapped in the camp and ready. As long as the lord gives the order, we can attack quickly."
Zhang Liao also replied: "The bait has been prepared and the news has been spread. We only need to wait for the Lord's order to send out the grain transport team."
"Okay, okay, okay. Everything will go according to plan. Wenyuan, Gao Xiaoxiao, you guys take action now. This mission will be left to you. Do it beautifully. I want to see what the Black Mountain bandit is this time.
, you haven’t fallen into my trap yet." After Lu Bu said this, he burst into laughter.
"I got the order!" Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each clasped their fists and took the order.
After Gao Shun and Zhang Liao left, Lu Bu followed Wei Xu. Hou Cheng, the two most close confidants, said: "Today I finally worship the governor Ding Yuan as my adoptive father. Such a decision is not just a matter of
no?"
As for Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, they had already understood Lu Bu's intentions, but they didn't know what to do at this time.
Wei Xu first said: "My lord, why are you still worried? Princes, generals, and ministers would rather be careless. With my lord's talent for managing the world, if my lord's original family background were not poor, he would not be able to find a way to reach the sky, and there would be no powerful nobles to back him up."
, how can the small Bingzhou Province accommodate my lord now?"
Hou Cheng also spoke up and said: "That's right, that's right. If it weren't for my lord who supported the whole sky in Bingzhou, I don't know what Bingzhou would have been destroyed by the former Yellow Turban bandits and the current Black Mountain bandits."
That's it. It's a shame that the governor, Ding Yuan, actually took the credit of my lord, so that the court only knew that it was Ding Yuan's credit, but didn't know that all this was done by you. I really wronged my lord. But now,
Mr. Dingyuan, you have adopted your lord as your adopted son, and I think you will never come back to rob your lord of your merits."
Lu Bu nodded sadly in agreement. He waved his hand and told Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others to disperse. He leaned on the collapse and rested for a while.
At noon, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao came to deliver orders to Lu Bu.
Gao Shun reported to Lu Bu: "My lord, this time we used bait to trap the Black Mountain bandits, and it was successfully completed. I hereby give you an order to my lord."
Lu Bu was overjoyed and said joyfully: "Okay. I don't know how many people, horses and supplies we have captured from the Black Mountain bandits." Lu Bu said secretly: You are so docile and honest. If you win the battle, you will just say it is a victory. Tell me how much credit you have made and how much victory you have achieved. If you are like this, you are really at a disadvantage. For the sake of your loyalty to me, I will come to ask you so that I can give you a big reward. , also expand my strength.
Gao Shun still said very rigorously: "Back to my lord, a total of 3,000 Black Mountain bandits came to rob the grain truck this time. We set up an ambush at the predetermined location and have defeated and surrounded them all. However, these Black Mountain bandits are extremely powerful in combat. They were so ferocious and resisted to the end. Even though our army occupied the advantageous location, with the superior strength of the thousands of people we trapped in the camp and the tens of thousands of soldiers we had in Bingzhou, we actually did not capture them all alive. Three of them. Of the thousands of soldiers and horses, two thousand died in the struggle, and less than a thousand were captured alive. However, we were trapped in the camp and suffered less than 200 casualties. Among the 10,000 Bingzhou Wu soldiers, 5,000 were killed and wounded. It can be said that although we Victory is worse than defeat. However, the materials we captured this time are indeed good. Although these Black Mountain bandits do not have armor on their bodies, their weapons are good. They are all made of high-quality steel. There are actually two thousand of them intact. There are many weapons that can be used directly, and those that are damaged, we can also make new ones. We also captured more than 800 horses from the Black Bandits. The corpses of the other 2,000 horses can also be used as our weapons. Half a month of rations for the army.”
Although Lu Bu felt a little unhappy at first when he heard Gao Shun report that although he had won but lost, he later heard Gao Shun say that he had captured so many weapons and horses. The sky was clouded. Lu Bu said in his heart: What does it mean to be defeated even though you win? The five thousand Wu soldiers who were killed and injured were not trained by us. Look at me trapped in the camp, didn't I have more than a hundred casualties? Bingzhou's Wu soldiers suffered five thousand casualties. There are too many. It can only be said that they are incompetent and not trained enough. If these soldiers are brought under our command in the future, it will look like they are trapped in the camp if they are not trained. However, these 3,000 people killed the 5,000 they sent out. Duo Ma, if this spreads out, it will be easy to say or not, and people who don’t know the truth really think something is wrong. Lu Bu rolled his eyes and said: "Yes, the results of the battle are good. But have you remembered it wrong? We should be I must have defeated 30,000 Black Mountain bandits to achieve such a victory."
