The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 361 Eight Captains

When he came back after drinking, Lu Bu had two things in his hand.

In his left hand, he held a wooden hammer, which is also called a rattle in later generations. It cost thirteen dollars; curled up in his arms was a little black cat a little bigger than a palm.

When he came back to Luoyang for the first time, Lu Bu saw that the noble ladies in Luoyang liked to play with such cute little beasts, so he also thought about taking one for Wei Niang.

But he didn't expect that the price of this little thing was even more expensive than that of an ordinary war horse. Lu Bu's annual salary was converted into cash, 12 yuan.

The price of this little thing is 15 yuan.

As for the conflict between him and Yuan Shu, it will definitely not be completely eliminated because of Cao Cao's banquet.It is Yuan Shu's nature to be narrow-minded. Coupled with the difference in identity and background, he and Lu Bu are destined not to be on the same path.

On the contrary, Yuan Benchu, who is now on duty under the general, was able to take the initiative to talk to Lu Bu regardless of his status, and his words seemed to have the intention of wooing Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't deal with Shi Changshi, but he wouldn't go to He Jin either.Maybe once he took refuge in He Jin, the first person to take his life would be the current emperor.

In the past, there was a choice, but now, there is no way out.

Back in the mansion, the young man named 'Ma Zhong' was also waiting in the living room.

Before going to drink with Cao Cao and others, Lu Bu asked Chen Wei to take this person to see a doctor, and tied a wooden block to the broken leg bone. Although his movements were not as good as ordinary people, at least he could walk upright with a stick.

After Lu Bu sat down in the hall, he inquired about Ma Zhong's injuries and summoned the steward, "Go and get two thousand coins and give it to this strong man."

The steward took the order to go, counted the two thousand money, put it into the purse, and handed it to Ma Zhong.

"You don't need to thank me. You are lame, and I am responsible. Take the money, leave Luoyang City, and never come back. You should know better than me what kind of temperament Yuan Shu is."

After Lu Bu finished his instructions, he signaled to Ma Zhong that he could leave at any time.

Looking at the heavy purse in his hand, and at Lu Bu who was sitting at the main seat, the gratitude in Ma Zhong's heart was hard to express in words.

His former master killed him, but Lu Bu respected him, not only saved him from danger, but also asked him to take him to see a doctor, and gave him money to return home.

Isn't this the good lord I've been looking for so hard!

Ma Zhong was in a turbulent mood, put the money bag on the table, and walked into the hall on crutches.Immediately, the whole body fell straight down, knelt heavily on the ground, and after three knocks, he clasped his fists and replied firmly: "The general doesn't think that villains are humble and ugly. He saves them from danger and gives money. Such courtesy and generous treatment, villain There is no repayment. Ma Zhong is willing to die for the general in this life, to be a slave and a servant, and to go through fire and water. If you break this oath, you will be willing to be pierced by thousands of arrows, and you will not die!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Zhong knocked his head on the ground again.

"What is the strong man doing? Please get up quickly." Lu Bu got up from his seat and walked towards Ma Zhong.

"If the general doesn't agree, the villain won't be able to kneel for a long time." As he said, Ma Zhong knocked his head heavily on the ground again.

"Boy, did you learn your tricks from me?" Cao Xing teased from the sidelines. According to his knowledge of the boss, Lu Bu is the last person who doesn't like this, not to mention Ma Zhong's ugly appearance. , dressed in tattered clothes, no different from a beggar.

But the next scene surprised Cao Xing.

Lu Bu walked up to Ma Zhong, lifted him up with his own hands, and said sincerely, "It's a great honor to have the help of a strong man. Yuan Gonglu doesn't know people, so he abandons you. This is his ignorance! Your skill in riding and shooting , it is hard to find a person in ten thousand, who wants to follow me, Lu Mou is very welcome, but why do you have to make such a poisonous oath and put yourself in a dead situation."

After hearing this, Ma Zhong broke away from Lu Bu's support, took two steps back, called out 'Master', folded his fists and knelt down, and said passionately: "For the kindness of the general, Zhong is willing to repay you with death!"

When Lu Bu saw Ma Zhong in exile as a beggar, he had the idea of ​​subduing him. How could he be an ordinary person if he could let Yuan Shu take it out to compete in front of the imperial court?

It doesn't matter if his legs are lame, as long as the hope in his heart is not extinguished, with a little effort, he will sooner or later become that strong marksman of riding and shooting.

People who practice martial arts, how can there be no reason not to encounter setbacks.

As a result, some people were devastated and became crippled; some people became more and more courageous after setbacks, broke through the bottleneck, and were promoted to the ranks of the strong in one fell swoop.

When Ma Zhong became a beggar, he felt that life was hopeless and began to give up on himself.It was Lu Bu's appearance that gave him the dignity he deserved as a person, made him glow with new fighting spirit, and returned to the martial art together.

Outside the living room, the two guys listening to the corner also stood up straight when the curtain fell in the hall.

Xi Ce's face was full of smiles, and his arms around the white fox boy's shoulders made him feel closer, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles: "Guo Fengxiao, you lost again."

Guo Jia pouted and snorted, "It's just luck."

May 23, sunny.

This day is of great significance in the history of the Later Han Dynasty.

In the Chongde Hall, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty made a major decision to recruit [-] strong men from Luoyang West Garden for training and set up eight school lieutenants to manage them.

The list of candidates has been drawn up, namely: Lieutenant Chun Yuqiong of the right school, Lieutenant Jian Shuo of the left school, Feng Fang of the right school of the assistant army, Zhao Rong of the left school of the assistant army, Cao Cao of the Dian army school, Bao Hong of the lower army school, Yuan Shao of the middle army school, and Yuan Shao of the upper school Military Academy Lieutenant Lu Bu.

When the name of "Lu Bu" was finally announced, the officials in the court were not calm, and many people even bluntly said that they feared that they would not be able to take up this important task.

According to the ranks of the Eight Colonels set by the Son of Heaven, the Captains of the Military Academy are in charge of all the armies and are directly under the emperor's orders, and even the General He Jin is also under his control.

How could such an important responsibility be undertaken by a person with no family background.

Liu Hong didn't bother to listen to the chatter of the officials, so he just waved his hand. The ministers don't need to say anything, this matter is settled like this.

Since five of these eight people came from foreign relatives and aristocratic families, some bigwigs just turned a blind eye to this matter, and they didn't care what others said, as long as they took advantage of themselves.

The eight people who were summoned to the palace bowed their hands to thank each other, and all the officials had no choice but to follow suit and shout: "Your Majesty is holy."

After retiring from the imperial court, Lu Bu walked out of the Chongde Hall, and was followed by court officials, "General Lu, congratulations. I don't know if the general is free tonight. There are several altars of old wine in the old man. I would like to invite the general to Have a taste at home."

"General Lu, eight singers from the Western Regions have been recruited into the house, and they are dancing gracefully. Please, General, show your respect."

"General Lu, two days ago I also got a treasured sword, which cuts hair and cuts iron like mud. As the saying goes, a treasured sword is given to a hero..."

"General Lu..."

Seven or eight officials gathered around Lu Bu, chattering like sparrows in a row.

Facing the sudden invitation, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

I remember when I first came to Luoyang, all the officials regarded him as worthless, ridiculed, laughed and cursed.

Later, after defeating Xianbei and pacifying the Mothie, the emperor recruited him to Luoyang and awarded him General Habayashi Zhonglang.Knowing his achievements and reputation, all officials still despise him and stay away from him.

Now, the emperor conferred on him the rank of captain of the military academy, and these officials who used to despise him have the cheek to greet him with a smile like an old friend whom they haven't seen for a long time.

This also made Lu Bu truly feel for the first time that power and status are really good things.
