It is also New Year's Eve, but the Puyang City Shoufu is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and is full of joy. Passing outside the house, you can hear the melodious sound of silk and bamboo. (Baidu Search Literature Museum)
Lu Bu has a full warrior temperament and doesn't care much about these red tapes, but Madam Yan is very enthusiastic. With her arrogance, and a group of people who are happy to support her, things are not up to Lu Bu. In fact, although he doesn't like it very much, when happy events come to his door, After all, I was happy in my heart, so I finally let it go.
As more and more guests came to visit, the atmosphere became more and more lively. Lu Bu held the wine cup in one hand and let the spicy smell of the strong liquor in the bottle linger on his nose, and soon he felt a little drunk. .
The series of victories achieved by the Qingzhou Allied Forces in northern Xinjiang certainly made him happy, but they were not the main reason for his good mood. Lu Bu never thought that the Hu people were so strong. With the cost being reduced repeatedly, where will it be Hugou’s turn to become arrogant?
Gongsun Zan was able to defeat Wuhuan and Dongxianbei, but how could he defeat the Xiongnu, Dongqiang and Xianbei without daring to look away?
But the treatment between the two is very different.
After the Battle of Hulao, Baima Yicong became famous in one battle and shocked the world. However, because they were in the bandit camp and were not trusted, the soldiers of the Bingzhou border army never got the opportunity to show off their skills, and even became unknown, just like those who were at the border. All the blood was shed in vain.
From that moment on, Lu Bu's heart was filled with panic, as if a pair of invisible hands were holding his heart.
This is a complex feeling that includes many emotions such as guilt, self-blame, anger, unwillingness and confusion.
The decision to surrender to the Dong was made by him. Lu Bu could glare at the contempt for the world, but when facing his brothers, guilt and self-blame came like a tide. No matter how brave he was, he couldn't resist it. .
There are more reasons to be angry. He is so brave but can only be scorned and abused by the world. His sons died in vain but still can't see a bright future. The people around him are wavering and even betrayed...each of them gives him sufficient strength. Reasons for anger and unwillingness.
As for the confusion, when Luoyang resisted Dong Zhuo's eastward invasion, Lu Bu was already at a loss because he didn't know why he was fighting or where the future would be.
Compared with the bloody battle with the Hulu in Bingzhou, life in the Central Plains was equally precarious, but there were far more troubles. When he was in Bingzhou, Lu Bu never thought that anyone's interactions could be so complicated, and that there were actually things in the world. So many various conspiracies and tricks made him unable to guard against them, and he was exhausted mentally and physically.
Now, none of this had anything to do with him anymore, because he knew that he had made the right decision. After letting go of the burden, he felt relaxed. He soon found that he was in the mood to enjoy life.
As the news of the Northern Xinjiang War spreads, the name of the Bingzhou cavalry will soon shock the world. The leader of that cavalry is his daughter. The deputy general is his good brother, and the backbone of the formation is closely related to him. An old brother from the border army who came out of Bingzhou...
Just like the White Horse Yi Cong back then and the Gale Wind Cavalry now. Since their majestic first appearance, the two names of Fiery Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Frontier Army have become one. From then on, they share weal and woe, and live and die together!
Lu Bu drank all the wine in one gulp, becoming more and more drunk.
In fact, he also understood that Wang Yu's promotion of the reputation of the Bingzhou Cavalry was not entirely out of good intentions, but also had some small calculations, such as putting the relationship between the two armies on the table, cooking the rice before cooking.
But he didn't care. From the first time they met, the boy had never been honest. He hoped that he would not use any evil intentions, and the cat would stop stealing. As long as the old brothers did not fight in vain for this life and left their names in the history of Qing Dynasty.
, Feng Qiyinzi, what else do you have to be unwilling to accept?
It's a pity...
Thinking of this, Lu Bu suddenly felt a little sad. It was a good thing to form an alliance with Qingzhou. He thought so. Wen Yuan had already had this idea. Xunyi didn't say it, but he agreed in his heart, but others
…
Out of guilt for his old brother, Lu Bu did not run the army strictly. If his subordinates made small mistakes, they would usually laugh it off. Even if there were any major mistakes, he would rarely pursue them seriously unless he was in a bad mood.
, he might catch people and beat them up, but that's it, he would definitely not kill people.
As a result, his trusted old brothers actually launched a rebellion against him. The target of that rebellion was not Wang Yu, but Lu Bu himself. Every time he thought about this, Lu Bu felt like a knife was twisting his heart, and he was puzzled.
Sad again.
The generals under his command were once called the Eight Strong Generals. However, after the turmoil, Wei Yue, Hao Meng, and Song Xian died. Hou Cheng ran away with Chen Gong, Wei Xu resigned from office, and then Zhang Liao followed his daughter.
Qingzhou suddenly became deserted around him, with only Gao Shun, Cao Xing and Cheng Lian remaining.
The more lively the surroundings are, the stronger this feeling of loneliness becomes, and even the wine in the glass has a bit of a bitter taste.
His eyes were wandering among the crowd, as if he was trying to catch up on the lost time. Suddenly, Lu Bu's eyes condensed, and his somewhat hazy eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Husband, today is a happy day, why don't you just let it go?" Madam Yan had been paying attention to Lu Bu's expression for a long time. She immediately stepped forward and advised her gently: "Actually, I was also confused at first.
, I was provoked by the traitor, but I still thought about Ling'er in my heart. It's been so long, what are you still thinking about?"
Lu Bu's temper has always been soft rather than tough. To say it is gentle, he is indecisive. To say it is ugly, he has a soft ear. This is also his biggest weakness. Because he recalled the past and saw Wei Xu's anger, he was beaten by Mrs. Yan.
After some soft words to persuade him to go back, Lu Bu snorted and asked, "What is he doing here?"
"Of course it's to help." Madam Yan said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Ling'er is not at home, there are so many things in the house, how can I be busy alone? There are 110,000 bad things, and then I am always busy.
My brother, it’s not a major military matter anyway, so I can’t not even see him, right?” As she said this, her eyes were already bright.
This was what Lu Bu couldn't bear the most. The momentum he had just gathered suddenly dissipated, and he said angrily: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you see him..."
"I didn't agree with what happened to Ling'er at the beginning, and I even pretended to be sick for a few days... But it's not as good as being famous. After meeting me, I realized that my husband has a sharp eye and has chosen a perfect match for Ling'er.
I am a good son-in-law. Then my husband also knew about it. He accepted death and refused to enlighten. When I heard what I said, he..."
The more Mrs. Yan spoke, the lower her voice became. At the end of the sentence, all the sadness in her eyes turned into flattery, and through the tears that had not dissipated, she looked even more soft and charming: "In short, it should not be done at all, it should not be done at all.
It’s my fault. If my husband wants to punish me, I’ll let him handle me, okay?”
The ancients got married early and had children early. Although she already has a fifteen-year-old daughter, Mrs. Yan is only in her early thirties now. After settling in Luoyang, her life was better than that in the frontier fortress, and she has taken good care of herself in the past few years.
It was quite good. Coupled with the affection between husband and wife, Lu Bu immediately forgot about himself under the tender words. He didn't even notice his wife licking her fingers at his brother-in-law.
It wasn't until Wei Xu came up to him licking his face that Lu Bu frowned and snorted angrily.
Mrs. Yan straightened up and glanced at her brother without any trace. Wei Xu understood, and without saying a word, he slapped himself in the mouth with his bow from left to right until the corners of his mouth bleeded. Then he said: "Brother-in-law, I'm absolutely wrong. It's all wrong."
You deserve to die! You can't be more than a mediocre person, and it's not a pity to die. But you are responsible for the safety of tens of thousands of brothers in the army, so you must not be so angry!"
"Huh, what you say is better than what you sing..." Lu Bu was still angry, but for the sake of his wife, he still couldn't say anything serious. He waved his hands like shooing away flies and snorted: "
Forget it, I won’t argue with you, an idiot, and that’s the end of it.”
Wei Xu was overjoyed and was about to bow down to thank him. Lu Bu waved his left hand again and said coldly: "Don't be too happy too early. If you have done something to your own people, don't even think about taking charge of the army again. You are not the one anyway."
That piece of material can be used as a steward in the mansion from now on."
"...Brother-in-law is so magnanimous, I can't thank you enough. Thank you, brother-in-law. Thank you so much, brother-in-law." It was like a bucket of cold water was poured down on Wei Xu. Wei Xu was startled on the spot. Although he quickly woke up under Madam Yan's urging, he was no longer the same as before.
of enthusiasm.
"As soon as you understand, go down."
Lu Bu didn't take this matter to heart, and showed some mercy to Wei Xuwang, not only for his wife's sake, but also because his old brothers had died too many and he was temporarily soft-hearted. As before, he felt that if he treated others with tolerance, the other party would
He should be loyal in return, or at least not make the same mistake again.
Wei Xu retreated in response. Madam Yan saw that her husband was not in a high mood, so she mentioned Lu Qiling's family letter again. As expected, Lu Bu quickly became excited and talked about Lu Qiling with gusto.
The appearance of the place.
He was in a good mood, and he drank wine very happily. When the banquet was over and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, Lu Bu was already very drunk.
Mrs. Yan called her younger brother to help her husband walk to the back house. As she walked, she comforted her: "If you don't want to be in charge of the army, then you can't be in charge of the army. It's not a good thing to fight in battle. Ling'er said in the letter that when he first entered Fan Yang,
Fighting, she rushed to the center of the enemy's formation alone...Oh, my heart was in my throat when I heard this."
"Sister, you don't have to worry. The Qingzhou cavalry wears a full set of heavy armor. I heard it's called plate armor. It's so strong that even a powerful crossbow can't penetrate it at a distance of fifty steps... and they're charging into the formation.
That formation, I heard, was passed down from Huo Qubing's time, the Che Xuan formation! It is indestructible and has no disadvantages. Even Qu Yi, who is famous for restraining cavalry, was defeated so miserably, so what else is there to worry about?"
"That's not necessarily true. Ling'er said in the letter that Qu Yi was unwilling to give in before his death. His son-in-law personally admitted that there was a way to break the formation. He said it was called the Star Spreading Formation... Although it is a secret method,
The world is so big and there are so many talented people. Do you know that others won’t? If this happens, Ling’er... In short, it will make people worried. "
"..." Wei Xu rolled his eyes fiercely, secretly remembering the word "Sa Xing" in his heart, and then smiled and said: "What my sister said is that General Hussar is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to show mercy to women. I heard that he
Those unmarried ladies were all assigned to do things by him, and people in Qingzhou laughed and called them the inner shogunate..."
"What else is there?" Madam Yan's attention was quickly diverted by the gossip, and she no longer remembered what she had just said.
