Chapter 56
The imperial edict ordering Lu Bu to enter the capital was soon placed on the desk of the general's mansion.

After Zhang Zhong read it over and over several times, it was indeed written "call Beiguang Colonel Lu Bu to Beijing to meet him", so he sent someone to call Lu Bu to the mansion.

Lu Bu was also confused about this. It stands to reason that Zhang Zhong and Zhang Yi were the only ones who were eligible to enter the pilgrimage in Bingzhou.A school lieutenant like Lu Bu, no matter which state he is in, can easily be grabbed, and since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a case of a frontier school lieutenant entering Beijing.

It is extremely rare for a frontier general to enter Beijing, let alone a little-known school lieutenant.However, since the emperor issued an edict, even if 1 Lu Bu were unwilling, he had to go.

The sudden evacuation of the Xianbei people was not simply because of the arrival of Zhang Yi's [-] reinforcements. Although Lu Bu didn't know the specific inside story, it must have something to do with Yunzhong County's plot. Think of the second person.

The Wolf Riding Battalion was able to train in just one month. On the surface, it seems that it is the credit of Lu Bu alone. Only Lu Bu knows that the supplies, armor, war horses and other materials needed for training and battle are all the tricks. The biggest hero.

It's just that the plot is not for high-ranking officials, not for high salary, with his own ability, he can shine wherever he goes, why would he choose to help a poor family like himself?
From the very beginning, Lu Bu didn't want to pass this question.

Seeing Lv Bu stunned, Zhang Zhong handed over the written edict to Lv Bu, and sounded the alarm to Lv Bu with a solemn expression: "Feng Xian, the good or bad luck of going to Luoyang is uncertain. You are aggressive and hostile. Above all, you must not be impulsive and reckless. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, you must be cautious in every way. This may be a great opportunity for you, but it may also make you irreversible at any time, so you must be cautious in everything ,Do you understand it?"

Lu Bu nodded, and clasped his fists at Zhang Zhong in response, "The general teaches, and Bu will take it to heart."

"Lv Fengxian, my elder brother is in Luoyang. If you want me to tell you, I will take care of you at that time." After getting along with him for a long time, Yan Xin felt that Lu Bu was a pretty good person, so he took the initiative to ask.

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, and declined Yan Xin's kindness. After all, he had never had any contact with the Yan family, so it was unreasonable for him to waste a lot of time.

Lu Bu didn't want to, and Yan Xin didn't force it. Many things just need to be done as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhong taught Lu Bu a lot of court etiquette, which caused Lu Bu a headache. The red tape of these literati is more tormenting than fighting on the battlefield.

The old general asked Lv Bu to drop by to Qiangyang again. Lv Bu's horse was killed on the battlefield, and there was a large ranch in Qiangyang County. The old general specially asked Lv Bu to choose a fast horse.

The war horse was killed, and Lu Bu was also very helpless. It was difficult for ordinary horses to support his body, but it was extremely difficult to find a divine horse.But since the old general spoke up, Lu Bu had no choice but to agree first. Luoyang is a long way away, and a good horse will naturally save a lot of time.

Knowing that Lv Bu was announced to Luoyang, Zheng Song immediately recruited his old housekeeper who had been with him for most of his life, and told him, "Go back to Shangdang as soon as possible, secretly offer a huge reward, and spread Lv Bu's route, and say who can take it down!" Lu Bu's head will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold. There are always many desperadoes on both sides of the Zhuo River, and there will be a large number of killers and assassins who will take the initiative to chase and kill Lu Bu without the help of this old man."

After Zheng Song finished his orders, he wiped his beard very comfortably, with an old fox's sinister smile on his face, "I want to go to Luoyang, hehe, it depends on whether you have the life!"

After receiving the order, the steward hurried back to Shangdang in the Xingye, and set out to handle the errand.

In the southernmost part of Yanmen County, there is a county named Qiangyang. The fields here are fertile and the grass is delicious. The branches of the Wei River flow through here, forming a natural pasture, which is the best place for horses and livestock. Therefore, Qiangyang Also known as 'Juncheng'.

The war horses in Bingzhou are almost all supported by the strong sun.

In order to prevent someone from stealing the horses, Zhang Zhong specially stationed an army of 3000 people in Qiangyang. Later, due to the tense battle at Yanmen Pass, he dispatched 2000 people, leaving only [-] people to guard the place.Fortunately, Zhang Zhong's prestige spread widely, even if there were [-] guards missing, no horse was ever lost.

Except for supplying the army, very few people would choose horses in person, and the soldiers guarding them were happy to be at ease, content to do this job of a 'lord' with food and drink, and life without worry.

At the east gate of the ranch, more than a dozen soldiers on duty sat cross-legged in a pile, holding weapons in their arms and started talking nonsense. The topic was undoubtedly about the details of the Yanmen Pass battle.

The son of the Han family fought to the death at Langweiguan, the wolf riding camp traveled thousands of miles to help, Lu Fengxian entered the battle alone, and the Xianbei people were defeated and fled...

The passionate feats one after another, through the continuous dissemination and embellishment of the grassroots soldiers, have almost evolved into myths, so that when they were spread to the ears of ordinary people, Lu Bu seemed to have become a hero who descended from the sky and turned the tide.

Among the more than ten strokes, there was a 27-year-old flat-nosed young man who was particularly excited and spit flying, as if he had personally experienced it and seen it with his own eyes.

The young man's face was excited, and he made gestures with his hands from time to time during the conversation, as if he had driven away those hateful Xianbei people.

During the period, someone questioned in a low voice, "Boss Li, you have never met Lu Bu, how do you know that Lu Bu has a mark like a jujube on his eyebrows?"

Hearing this, the young man became more and more complacent, and said mysteriously: "Not only that, I also know about Lu Bu's childhood, do you want to hear it?"

Everyone immediately regained their spirits, urging the young man in charge, "I want to hear it, I want to hear it, Mr. Li, please speak up, speak up!"

They were a little tired of hearing the story of Yanmen Pass these days, but almost no one knew about Lu Bu's past, so it especially aroused their curiosity.

The flat-nosed young man cleared his throat, and under the anxious eyes of everyone, he finally said slowly: "Lu Bu's mother is the daughter of a wealthy man surnamed Huang. She is smart and virtuous. She has raised four daughters for the Lu family. There were no males. One day, Huang went to the White Horse Temple (not the one in Luoyang, but also in Wuyuan) with her husband to worship Buddha and pray for a child. On the night of her return, Huang dreamed that a tiger was rushing towards her. , but the tiger lay docilely beside him. Not long after, Huang felt pregnant. When the baby boy was born, a rainbow appeared in the sky over the northwest, dazzling. Seeing this, I was very happy: "My son is also a god." Because he was born on Bu Shang, he was named Lu Bu."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief. He liked the feeling of being noticed by many people, so he continued: "Lv Bu has been fond of dancing spears and sticks since he was a child. The children in the village did not dare to play with him and kept them away. But what is amazing is that when Lu Bu was with a girl, he behaved extraordinarily docile and considerate, unlike usual.”

Everyone listened intently, but the young man surnamed Li suddenly changed the subject, intentionally whetted the appetite of his subordinates, shook his shoulders symbolically twice, and complained: "I don't know what's wrong, my shoulder, these days I always feel sour and weak..."

Before he finished speaking, someone immediately got up and walked behind him, pinched his shoulders in a very doggy manner, and said flatteringly: "Boss, keep talking, keep talking..."

The young man surnamed Li was enjoying a free massage, stretched his shoulders back comfortably, and said again: "When Lu Bu was young, he was different from ordinary children. He liked to stay with people who were stronger than him. From the age of five Since then, he has often followed the herdsman to herd horses in the wild, and loves horses. Whenever he sees a horse, he is full of energy. When he was seven years old, he rode alone to chase wild foxes and deer. Ju picked him up and played with them, and even lifted them above his head. At the age of 11, Lu Bu was famous throughout the county for defeating two strong men in wrestling."

From then on, no man in the county was qualified to stand beside Lu Bu and play with him.

The youngest soldier shrank back, felt chills on his back after hearing this, and muttered, "The more you talk, the more infiltrating you become."

Besides him, another eagle-eyed man also asked loudly: "Boss Li, how do you know so clearly? You must have made it up to scare us!" He didn't believe that the 11-year-old A baby doll can defeat a Hercules with an arm strength of hundreds of catties.

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, the young man felt ashamed, blushed and cursed angrily: "Don't fart your motherfucker, I and Lu Bu are from the same village!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a big upsurge.

They all knew the family background of this young man, and he was indeed from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County.In this way, all doubts are completely solved.

"Then when did you lose to Lu Bu?"

Someone asked with a smile, and the rest of the people followed suit.

"Go! Go! Go……"

Feeling that he had been trapped, the young man couldn't help being a little annoyed. He stood up and yelled, "I'll go take a pee first, and then I'll come back and tell you about the heroic deeds of my [-]-round battle with Lu Bu."

Amidst sobs, the young man walked towards a deep bush not far to the right, took off his trousers and let the water flow.

As soon as the young man walked away, someone came to the east gate with his back foot.

He was a very young and handsome man, wearing coarse linen trousers, a pair of black thick-soled cloth shoes on his feet, and a round and thick hemp rope tied around his waist. His steps were light.

The soldiers sitting on the ground caught a glimpse of this man, they all stood up and asked vigilantly, "Hey, boy, what do you do!"

"At the order of General Zhang Zhong, I came here to select horses." Lu Bu, who was passing by Qiangyang, replied truthfully.

When the soldiers guarding the gate heard that Zhang Zhong had sent them, they felt relieved, and asked again: "Do you have the general's documents?"

Lu Bu expressed his helplessness, "I left in a hurry, and the document is still in the general's residence."

Several soldiers exchanged glances, and stopped the weapons in front of Lu Bu, "I'm sorry, no one can enter without the general's official documents."

Lu Bu seemed to have expected such a result, so he turned around and left without embarrassing these soldiers.After all, these soldiers also acted according to military orders. If Lu Bu wanted to force his way in, just a dozen or so of them would not be enough for him to warm up once.

At this time, Li Su came back after finishing his urination, and happened to bump into Lu Bu head-on, and he was stunned.

Instead, Lu Bu spoke first, and smiled at Li Su, "Brother Su, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

As Li Su said, Lu Bu and he are indeed from the same hometown, and the two have been friends since childhood.Only ten years ago, a major change happened in the village, and the two went their separate ways.

Li Su regained his composure and quickly replied: "Abu...no, General Lu...why did you come here?"

Li Su's tone was humble, and he did not forget to salute Lu Bu with his hands clasped.

Lu Bu also seemed very happy to see his old friend from the past. He helped Li Su, who was bowing, and said modestly: "Brother Su, you should call me Abu. I just came here to pick horses, but the document was forgotten by the general. The guards will not let them enter the mansion, and I don't want to make things difficult for them."

After hearing this, Li Su learned that Lu Bu was blocked from the door. He rolled up his sleeves and walked in front of the soldier. He swung his mouth one by one, and yelled like a shrew with his hands on his hips: "You are all fucking blind!" Don’t you know who he is! Listen up to me, he is Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, who broke Xianbei’s ten thousand horses!”

Although Li Su raised his hand high, it didn't hurt at all when he hit it. Only then did the soldiers realize that there was indeed an upside-down dark red date mark between Lu Bu's eyebrows.

Then, the expressions of the dozen or so soldiers changed greatly. In their fiery eyes, there were excitement, cheers, long-suppressed joy, and long-awaited dreams...

Countless little stars flashed in their eyes, and this was the first time they felt so closely that the legendary strong man was not a fairy tale or hearsay, but actually existed in front of them.

He is the hero of Bingzhou, the invincible Lu Fengxian.

…………

Li Su welcomed Lu Bu into the pasture in person, and asked about his health and care along the way, taking care of him meticulously.He is keen on officialdom, as long as there is a slight chance, he will do whatever it takes to climb up.

The grass in the pasture is green and green, and at a glance, it is connected to the sky.

Lu Bu chose a seven-foot-tall horse with a red mane. Although it was not the best horse, Lu Bu had a special liking for it. The red color symbolized the galloping Chuyang, and also represented the passion of the soldiers on the battlefield.

After putting the reins on the horse, Li Su stretched out his hand to lead the horse for Lv Bu, but Lv Bu didn't let him go, but took the rein by himself, and walked side by side with Li Su.

At this time, a man with a basket of hay walked past Lu Bu.

Most of the horse servants in the ranch are short and thin, and it is rare to see a tall and straight man like this.

The most important thing is that even without eyes, Lu Bu can feel the righteousness of heaven and earth emanating from him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could only see the profiled face, resolute and steady.

On the way back, Lu Bu kept thinking of the man he just passed by, and the image was burned in his mind, lingering.

Li Su followed beside him, naturally slowing down by half a beat and half a step behind.

When he came to the gate, Lu Bu was in a fixed figure, suddenly let go of the horse rope in his hand, turned around and ran wildly.

The man carrying the fodder saw the young man who had just left and came back, he stood in front of him panting slightly, he didn't know what made him so anxious.

However, Lu Bu couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, and there was even a tremor in his voice, and he called out in a low voice: "Gao Shun."

I finally found you.
