New Lubu War

Chapter 45

"Emperor Han Ling is really a weirdo!"

Sitting alone in the study, while drinking, Lu Bu shook his head secretly.

Although he was appointed as the sheriff, the [-] million official money is still unavoidable.

Fortunately, you can give a quarter down payment first.

That is five million dollars.

The remaining [-] million yuan will be paid in three years with [-] million yuan per year.

"You're going to die in April next year, your motherfucker. You'll have to worry about it for half a year. Can you take it underground?"

Lu Bu was also speechless about Emperor Han Ling's greed for money.

It is really an anecdote in the world that the Son of Heaven, a majestic man, cares so much about money.

"Don't want a single word of the rest of the money, grandma!"

After drinking a bottle of wine, Lu Bu said angrily.

Brother, is it easy to make some money?
"It's no wonder that after suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei had only a small county magistrate, but Sun Jian, who has made considerable contributions, can become an army commander with a rank of a thousand stones!"

Later generations said that it was because Liu Bei did not bribe the eunuchs.

But now Lu Bu remains skeptical.

"A mere mat weaver and shoe seller can scrape together [-] million yuan? Even if it's a down payment of [-] million?"

In this way, it is reasonable!
Liu Bei is not a stunned young man, he can buy an official with money, why not do it?
The reason why you don't spend money is because you don't have money!
If you don't want to, you can't!
Not only did Liu Bei have no money to buy a high-ranking official with two thousand shi like the sheriff, he couldn't even buy the county magistrate.

It should be noted that the power of a county is also great, and the annual salary is also very expensive, reaching a thousand stones!

If you want to buy it, you need [-] million yuan, and the down payment is [-] million!
Of course Liu Bei is not two hundred and five.

No, Liu Bei doesn't have two and a half million dollars!

Therefore, getting a county lieutenant is already Liu Bei's limit.

Wanting to become the county magistrate, Liu Bei had to continue to work hard until he got the sponsorship of Gongsun Zan, which Liu Yu valued, so he was able to settle in Pingyuan County.

"There is still half a year left!"

Looking up to the window, Lu Bu's eyes were dim.

……

Autumn breeze blows.

In the Martial Arts Field of the Lu Mansion, halberds criss-crossed, stirring up strong winds and shimmering cold light.

After a long time, the light faded away, and Lu Bu stood with his halberd.

"It's always a little short, what is it?"

Frowning and thinking hard, Lu Bu pondered carefully and judged.

"seem……!"

His eyes were slack, and he muttered to himself.

"It seems that the spiritual realm is not enough, or the mental power is not enough?"

After more than four years of hard training, combined with his previous experience, Lu Bu gradually felt the bottleneck.

The realm of a great master is completely different from that of a master, and the two are completely different worlds.

Purely in terms of moves and skills, as well as momentum control, the realm of a master has reached the extreme.

A grand master is one who has reached a certain peak in martial arts, and every move is superb, without any flaws.

Moreover, Qi and God are in harmony, martial arts and aura are blended together, and one's own strength and speed are perfectly displayed!

Even if it is a grand master, it is impossible to surpass the grand master in terms of pure move changes, skill use, and even the integration of momentum and moves.

Therefore, the realm of a great master is a breakthrough in another direction on the basis of limited manpower.

This direction is most likely to be the spiritual realm!
Today's Lu Bu is very sure of this.

With his aptitude of 'unmatched in the past' and his comprehension of 'one question and one thousand enlightenments', such feelings cannot be faked!
"The mind is ethereal and cannot be grasped, but this is difficult!"

Sighing, Lu Bu put away his halberd and left the martial arts arena.

……

After becoming the sheriff, Lu Bu's life did not change much.

Still urging Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others to practice martial arts diligently, train soldiers and horses, and hold martial arts competitions in the army from time to time to inspire soldiers' enthusiasm for training.

The effect is gradually becoming apparent.

After entering the winter, two 'valiant generals' reappeared in the army!
These two soldiers are veterans who have followed Lu Bu for many years, and participated in the battle of chasing the grassland.

In this way, there were two more lieutenants and generals in Lu Bu's army.

In this way, the [-] cavalry and [-] infantry under Lu Bu's command continued to increase in combat power and became increasingly elite.

The only pity is that even though he became a sheriff, the size of the army still cannot be expanded.

After all, it is a desolate frontier county with a limited population, and [-] troops is the limit, and it can no longer be increased.

Lu Bu was not in a hurry, he just lurked patiently and waited silently.

On weekdays, he continued to ponder the realm of the great master, instructed his generals to practice martial arts, and closely trained the army.

Of course, there is also the occasional joy with the Yan family and the girls in the mansion, and life is boundless.

Zhongping five years, winter, Yan's pregnancy again.

……

In autumn, a dialogue took place in the court of Luoyang.

Zongzheng Liu Yan witnessed the chaos of the imperial court, the decline of the royal family, and the imminent chaos of the world, and he was deeply thoughtful.

One day, at the court meeting, he suggested to Emperor Ling of Han:
"Your Majesty, the governors and prefects from all over the country bribed officials and exploited the common people, causing people to betray their relatives and leave the world in chaos!"

"I think that you should choose clean and honest officials in the court to serve as the governors of local states and counties, so as to guard the various places and stabilize the world!"

"I recommend myself, and I am willing to go to the remote Jiaozhou in the south, serve as the shepherd of Jiaozhou, and guard the south for His Majesty!"

After hearing this, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was deeply moved, and Xu Zhi.

"Jiaozhou is too remote, Jun Lang, let's go to Yizhou!"

Han Lingdi said.

Therefore, Liu Yan became the first state shepherd of the Han Dynasty and went to Yizhou to serve.

When the news reached Wuyuan County, Lu Bu pouted.

"This old turtle!"

Lu Bu said disdainfully.

Liu Yan's intention is very simple, he wants to hide in a remote place to be his own emperor, so as to avoid the chaos and endless wars in the future.

It has to be said that Liu Yan still has a very sharp vision, seeing that the world will inevitably be in chaos in the future, and he has left a way for himself in advance.

But he didn't want to make progress, he just wanted to be free, but he pushed the big man into the grave with his own hands.

As for ambition, that's not it!
Liu Yan is a tortoise, as long as he is safe.

……

Time passed slowly, Zhongping five years passed.

The sixth year of Zhongping, the new spring.

Chamber.

"Lord!"

Cao Xing reported to Lu Buhui:
"The Son of Heaven has been in poor health recently and has been recuperating from his illness. He has not been in court for a long time!"

"Ok!"

Lu Bu gave an 'hmm', noncommittal.

"In the direction of Liangzhou, what's the situation?"

Lu Bu asked.

"Last year, Liangzhou rebels once again invaded Youfufeng and besieged Chencang County!"

Cao Xing said:
"The imperial court worships Huangfu Song as General Zuo, and Dong Zhuo as former General, to rescue Chen Cang!"

"However, during the march, Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong disagreed, and the two clashed fiercely!"

After a pause, Cao Xing continued:
"Dong Zhuo is quite arrogant and domineering, relying on the strength of the army under his command, he doesn't listen to the orders of the imperial court and superiors very much!"

"The imperial court ordered Dong Zhuo to return to Beijing to report on his duties, and Dong Zhuo was unwilling to leave the army, so he prevaricated with various reasons!"

Having said that, Cao Xing shook his head.

"hey-hey!"

Lu Bu let out an inexplicable laugh.

"go on!"

Lu Bu urged.

"promise!"

Cao Xing cupped his hands and continued:

"Not long ago, the imperial army finally repelled the Liangzhou rebels, but it was all thanks to Huang Fusong. Dong Zhuo was ordered to be the queen and did not participate!"

"Nowadays, many people in the imperial court are suspicious of Dong Zhuo. The general thinks that such arrogant and domineering people who ignore the imperial court and superior officials will surely lose their reputation and end in disastrous fate!"

Finally, Cao Xing concluded.

"Ha ha!"

Glancing at Cao Xing, Lu Bu chuckled.

After all, he is too young to look at the problem only on the surface.

Dong Zhuo offended many people, but he has a good relationship with the eunuch!

The most important thing is that Dong Zhuo has followed He Jin's route. Now, He Jin is the only one in the court. As long as He Jin protects Dong Zhuo, no matter how big the disaster is, Dong Zhuo will be safe!

This is even more true when Emperor Hanling dies!
