Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 269: Recruitment and Encouragement
Besides, Ma Chao screamed at Tongguan City until his voice became hoarse, but he still didn't see Lu Bu coming out.

He had no choice but to return to the military camp and discuss the siege with Han Sui and other Guanzhong princes.

At present, they only have [-] cavalry in their hands.

As long as the enemy sticks to Tongguan City, there is nothing the fifty thousand cavalry can do.

They can only wait.

Wait for the arrival of the archers.

At the same time, in Tongguan City, Lu Bu was lying in the tent, with his hands resting on his back.

His mind kept reviewing every detail of these years.

Starting from joining the army in Wuyuan County.

Because of his proficiency in bow and horse, he was favored by Ding Yuan and appointed as the chief bookkeeper.

To follow Dong Zhuo and look down on all the heroes.

When he killed Dong Zhuo, he became famous.

When he followed Yuan Shao, he killed the Black Mountain Army and threw away their helmets and armor.

When they entered Yanzhou, they almost captured the entire Yanzhou.

When they arrived in Xuzhou, they killed Liu Bei several times and fled for their lives; with four thousand troops, they killed Yuan Shu's army of hundreds of thousands and made him cry for his father and mother.

However, after Yuan Shu's defeat, he also began to decline.

In the Battle of Wutai, he was defeated by Jiangdong's army and was even captured alive.

During this period, he was even chased by several Jiangdong generals.

This time, after fighting Ma Chao'er for more than 100 rounds, his helmet was swept off.

Lu Bu let out a long sigh.

Really old.

He is no longer as brave as he once was.

What his daughter Lu Qiling had said to him came to mind. Lu Bu got up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and stared blankly at the oil lamp in the tent.

Do you want to continue like this?

He has lost the strength that he once had and won the world. Will he only gradually sink into obscurity and become the laughing stock of others?
Previously, in Wu County, Wu County, even Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had a much higher status than themselves.

I can no longer lift my head up.

Will it only get worse in the future?
The more he thought about this, the more anxious Lu Bu became.

In fact, he felt like his whole body was being pricked with needles.

Lu Bu got off the bed, got out of the tent, went outside, and blew in the cool breeze to calm down.

Unconsciously, he arrived at Ling Tong's camp.

At this time, Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai were also in Ling Tong's camp.

The two of them are writing under Ling Tong's education.

Looking at Ling Tong's childish face and the rough looks of Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai, Lu Bu stopped in his tracks.

Ling Tong noticed something strange and looked outside the tent in confusion.

When he saw Lu Bu outside, Ling Tong was about to come out.

Lu Bu saw this and left quickly.

Ling Tong then sat back down again.

Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai also noticed Lu Bu.

Xu Sheng said: "Lü Bu, what is he doing outside? Could it be that he has ulterior motives and wants to report to the Marquis of Wu that Tong'er secretly came to the front line?"

It turned out that although Ling Tong had been appointed to Jingzhou before, he was forced by Lu Yi to stay at the Lu family in Wu County to recuperate because Hua Tuo detected that he had not yet recovered.

But how could he be willing to do so?

So, he found a time to sneak out of the Lu family, returned to his hometown, recruited three hundred tribesmen, and then went directly to Wancheng, Jingzhou.

Wenpin didn't know that he was forced to stay in the Lu family in Wu County by Wu Marquis Lu Yi, so he had no suspicion.

This time Wenpin received a mission from Wu Commandery and led his army to Shangluo to the vicinity of Tongguan to prepare for dealing with the princes in Guanzhong. He was also responsible for monitoring the movements of Cao Cao's army to prevent them from taking away the emperor and his family. Wenpin thought that although Ling Tong was young, But he was very knowledgeable and brave, so I took him with me.

However, Wenpin didn't know about Ling Tong, but Lu Bu did.

Because after Lu Bu arrived in Wu County, because his daughter Lu Qiling was Lu Yi's concubine and had been living in the Lu family's mansion, she saw Ling Tong and others being forced by Lu Yi to stay in the Lu family to recuperate.

When Ling Tong heard what Xu Sheng said, he shook his head and said, "No way? If you want to report it, he has already reported it. I have been in Wancheng for such a long time, and he didn't say much. Moreover, it has already been On the battlefield, even if Marquis Wu really has an order, can I go back directly? I will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted."

After a pause, Ling Tong continued: "I think he was hit today, and he looked worried."

Xu Sheng said: "Should we send someone to monitor him? If he gets into trouble again -"

Ling Tong waved his hand and said, "I don't think so. Ignore him for now and you can practice calligraphy! It's getting late. After practicing these words, you should go to bed early. You may have to face emergencies tomorrow."

Xu Sheng said oh and continued writing.

Lu Bu walked around from the entrance of Ling Tong's tent and finally returned to the tent.

Kneeling in front of the desk, he hesitated for a moment, then took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a letter to Wenpin.

This was the first time he took the initiative to ask someone for advice.

During this period, I spent a whole night scribbling and revising, and then I finished writing a letter, which I asked the soldiers to send out of the customs and give to Wenpin.

Wenpin was on the watchtower at the Wancheng army station, using a telescope to see the situation of the Guanzhong princes' military camps in the distance.

Last year, when the three dynasties gathered together, the four military regions all received a telescope.

His telescope was originally held by Zhu Zhi.

On this expedition from Wancheng, Zhu Zhi asked someone to give him the telescope.

Looking through the telescope at the distant military camps of the Guanzhong princes, Wenpin was speechless.

It is indeed a telescope, it can see really far.

With this telescope here, if we need to send any scouts, we can just look directly at it.

Just as he was looking at it, a general shouted loudly under the watchtower: "General, there is a letter from Tongguan!" Wenpin said "huh?" in confusion. As he went down, he asked: "Whose? Ling Tong's? Or Ling Tong's? From the imperial court?”

The general said: "It seems to belong to General Lu Bu."

Wen Ping:"."

Lu Bu’s?
Why did Lu Bu send him a letter?

Although curious, Wenpin quickly went down, took the letter from the general, opened it, and took out the paper inside.

It is filled with dense words.

To be precise, it is covered with dense words.

In many places, it was a mess after being daubed and altered.

However, the meaning can still be seen: Lu Bu feels that he is old and no longer as brave as he used to be.I want to change but don’t know where to start.Moreover, I am already old and I am afraid I can only waste my time.

Wenpin was quite shocked after reading the letter.

Lu Bu actually has troubles!

Moreover, he will also take the initiative to tell himself!

Moreover, the traces of omissions and alterations in this letter clearly show that Lu Bu was very anxious and complicated when he wrote the letter.

Lu Bu, what happened when he went to challenge Ma Chao this time?
Although curious, Wenpin still didn't think too much about it.

His letters returned to the commander's tent and he was walking there.

After a long time, he knelt down in front of the desk and wrote seriously: "It is really gratifying that the general can wake up."

"The general is only in his fifties now, so how can he say that he has wasted his years?"

"Two of Jiang Taigong's seventy-year-olds were fishing in the Wei River before King Wen put him in a position of great importance."

"Emperor Gaozu raised his flag to rebel against the Qin Dynasty when he was in his forties."

"More recently, Xu Yuan traveled all over the world with his sword. It was only after following the Marquis of Wu that he began to learn the art of war, and only then did Xuzhou win a great victory."

"As long as a general has the ambition to make progress, he will eventually achieve something."

"The Master said that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

"General, this is the time to be wise in reading and rise."

After finishing writing, the ink was dried and sent to Tongguan City immediately.

Seeing the soldiers leaving in a hurry with the letter, Wenpin was silent for a moment, sat down on his knees again, and wrote a letter to Lu Yi, the Marquis of Wu, who was far away in Wu County, Wu County, telling Lu Yi what had happened to Lu Bu in the past few days.

Lu Bu got the letter, read it once, and took a long sleep.

Early the next morning, he rushed to Ling Tong's camp.

Ling Tong was practicing martial arts with Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai outside the camp.

Seeing Lu Bu coming over again, the three of them looked at each other.

Ling Tong came forward and asked, "General Fei, what advice do you have?"

Lu Bu scratched his head and said a little awkwardly: "Did you study with my son-in-law before?"

Ling Tong hummed.

Lu Bu said, "Well, did my son-in-law ask you to read any books?"

Ling Tong said: "Yes, mainly Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Jiang Taigong's Book, and Spring and Autumn Period. By the way, I often analyze various wars in history with other people."

Lu Bu said, "Do you have these things with you?"

Ling Tong: "."

Xu Sheng: "."

Zhou Tai: "."

Although he was confused, Ling Tong asked Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai to help him take off his armor.

Inside the armor, Ling Tong's abdomen was wrapped with a long piece of cloth.

Unwrapped the cloth, it was densely written with various words and even some pictures.

Ling Tong rolled up the cloth and said, "These are the notes I made together when Brother Xun and the others were studying together. There are also various military texts in them. After all, it is inconvenient to hold the bamboo slips, so I will write them on this slip. Go on and carry it close to your body, so that whenever I have time, I can take it out and look at it no matter where I am."

Lu Bu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Can I borrow this for a look?"

Ling Tong cautiously hid the cloth behind his back.

This is his darling!
Lu Bu said hurriedly: "Just a few days, a few days okay? I promise, after reading it, I will return it to you. You little boy, don't you still trust me? Don't forget, you secretly came from Wu County You ran away and I didn't even report you to my son-in-law! Isn't this a favor?"

Ling Tong: "."

Glancing at Lu Bu suspiciously, Ling Tong said, "Are you sure you want it? Don't let me damage it or lose it."

Lu Bu raised his right hand and swore: "I will never damage or lose it! Otherwise, the sky will strike with thunder and five thunders will strike!"

After saying that, he said somewhat displeasedly: "How could I, Lu Bu, have ever begged someone so humblely? Will I give it to you or not?"

Although Ling Tong was still a little unhappy, he still handed the cloth over and said, "Keep your word! Don't damage it or lose it!"

Lu Bu took the cloth and left happily.

Xu Sheng looked at his leaving figure and said with a strange look on his face: "It's really strange that Lu Bu, a reckless man, would want to read a book of war one day!"

Zhou Tai also said: "Did you get stimulated and become confused?"

Looking at Ling Tong, Zhou Tai said: "If he destroys that thing of yours, just cry!"

Ling Tong was a little worried, but he saw Lu Bu turned back and said to Ling Tong: "Young boy, if I don't understand something, I'll come to you again!"

After speaking, leave again.

Ling Tong: "."

Xu Sheng: "."

Zhou Tai: "."

How could this reckless man like Lu Bu be serious?
This is an anecdote!
