Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

   Chapter 183 Homecoming

  Spring returned to the earth, and the snow in Xiliang melted naturally. Jia Xu's letter and Dong Zhuo's edict were delivered almost at the same time.

   "General, but the Grand Master told me to wait for the court?" Hua Xiong had already recovered from his injury after a winter of repairs. He heard that the court sent someone over and ran quickly.

"That's right, I've been waiting in Xiliang for too long." Lu Bu nodded: "But first, go to Anding. The meaning of the master is to bring back the soldiers and horses I left there. Now Guanzhong is in chaos. There are many elephants, and we need to add some troops to deter the Quartet."

   In fact, Dong Zhuo recalled Lv Bu and all the soldiers and horses outside Lv Bu to guard against Lv Bu. If Dong Zhuo was still there when Lv Bu returned, then facing Lv Bu would probably be cutting his military power.

After all, aside from the soldiers and horses brought by Huaxiong, Lu Bu had already asked Zhang Liao to bring 8,000 soldiers and horses (Bingzhou and Qiang troops) to station in Wuwei, as well as 5,000 soldiers and horses from Gao Shun. Thirteen thousand soldiers and horses, this is not a small number. If you count the Xiliang soldiers brought by Huaxiong, I am afraid that the three generals Niu Fu, Duan Xun, and Dong Yue are not as many as Lu Bu's soldiers, and they have become Dong Zhuo's forces. The number one general in command of the army is not Dong Zhuo's confidant, and he has been away for a long time, which makes Dong Zhuo feel at ease.

   But fortunately, the messenger sent the edict just in time for heavy snowfall, blocking the way. Otherwise, if it was delivered a few months in advance, Lu Bu would not be able to refuse.

Now, judging from Jia Xu's letter, it is clear that something happened or is about to happen in Chang'an. It was Lv Bu's decision to set off and return to the army at this time. In Jia Xu's letter, he also mentioned a sentence of "waiting for time", which means that it should not be too early. , it can't be too late, the timing has to be grasped well, and how to grasp it depends on the situation in Chang'an, so Lu Bu decided to join Gao Shun first, and then go to Chang'an, where it will be easier to get news.

"I don't know what happened." Hua Xiong was also a little worried when he heard the words. Heavy snow blocked the road in winter. The news of Chang'an has only recently been heard. I heard that many people died, and then there was a civil uprising, but the specifics are: How serious, Hua Xiong does not know.

   "Has your injury improved?" Lu Bu asked Hua Xiong, looking at him.

   "Don't worry, the general, he has already recovered, by the way, the last general heard that the general returned to Chang'an to report and is going to be promoted again?" Hua Xiong patted his chest, and just laughed.

"That is, the lord will go back to Weiwei this time. He is ranked Jiuqing, and he has also been promoted to Wenhou. What's wrong? You want to compare with my lord?" Ma Chao on the side looked at Hua Xiong proudly, like that Pretty underwhelming.

"It's not you. Besides, Marquis Wen and Marquis Tao are both county marquis. That's not called promotion. Read more books. Going to Chang'an is different from Xiliang." Hua Xiong is immune to the reckless words of this arrogant child. Now, what Ma Chao is best at is martial arts. After all, he is still worse than Hua Xiong, but thinking about the child's age, Hua Xiong can't be proud at all.

In addition, now Pang De is also kept by Lu Bu's side, this time Hua Xiong didn't speak, Ma Chao didn't speak. Although his ability is good, it is too easy for people to have the urge to slap him. The key is to slap him back. It was a bit difficult, except for Lu Bu, there was probably no one in the army who could hold him down.

As for Pang De, Hua Xiong actually wanted it, but when he saw Lu Bu's expression, he knew that it was not easy, so he should take it slow first, and after a while to get acquainted with Pang De, he would mention it later. People, who are you not following? Besides, Lu Bu is surrounded by Zhang Liao and Ma Chao, as well as Gao Shun and Dian Wei. With so many strong generals, it should be possible to divide himself into Pang De, right?

   After so many years of fighting, why is it so difficult to get a competent lieutenant?

   "Just a joke, I don't believe there is someone stronger than the lord in this Chang'an city!" Ma Chao said disdainfully.

   "Silly boy, when you went to Chang'an, no one would compete with you. It's been a while." Hua Xiong shook his head, turned around and went to pack up, while Lu Bu called everyone over.

This time back to Chang'an, I don't think I will come to Xiliang for a long time. The prefects of the prefectures in Xiliang are basically his own people. Lu Bu plans to bring some people back to Chang'an with him. If Chang'an changes, he will be very happy. There was a shortage of manpower, so Jiang Xu, Jiang Jie, Wang Ling, Yang Fu, Zhao Qu, Liang Kuan, Yin Feng, the good Longxi scholars of the younger generation, all went with Lu Bu.

  Young people are not bad in ability, and they have a lot of energy. They don't have the problems of those old foxes in the court. If they really want to do things, they are very efficient, and they can also cause a sense of crisis to those people to the greatest extent.

Of course, these are things to come later. Even now I don’t know what the situation in Chang’an is. These great plans of Lu Bu can only be deduced in my mind, but the road still has to be taken step by step. No matter how delicious the meal is, it can only be Come in one bite.

   In addition, Wang Yi naturally had to take him with him. It was impossible for him to stay in Xiliang. Lu Bu was quite satisfied with this little concubine.

  Because of the relationship between the edicts, Hua Xiong was the most active, and Lu Bu was awarded a reward. Although he did not give it to him, Hua Xiong believed that he would be indispensable to the reward when he went back this time.

The    army moved out, and everyone went to Longguan first, where they joined Wei Xu, but Wei Xu and Lu Bu did not take them away.

"Can I still trust you?" Lu Bu stopped for a day when he passed by Longguan, to delay for a while, to inquire about the recent situation in Guanzhong, and to see his brother-in-law. Naturally, he did not believe Wei Xu's loyalty. Doubt has always been his ability.

   "My lord, you will know what your lord is going to do at the end." Wei Xu said proudly.

   "Oh?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, looked at him and said, "Tell me."

   "After this battle, the lord, this Xiliang is nominally from the imperial court or the master, but in fact, it is already in the hands of the lord..."

   "Stop!" Lu Bu interrupted Wei Xu's words and looked him up and down: "Who taught you these words?"

"No one taught me." Wei Xu stopped his chest, looked at Lu Bu seriously and said, "Since that day, after the long talk between the lord and me, the last commander spent these days in Longguan, and he read books when he had nothing to do, and he also learned a lot. reason."

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu suspiciously. He now has two brother-in-laws, one Wei Xu and one Wang Ling, but emotionally, he is naturally closer to Wei Xu, but Wei Xu has never been educated. This technique gave Lu Bu a headache, even at this moment, he still suspected that someone was teaching him behind his back.

At the moment, Lv Bu asked a few more questions that were impossible to appear in the military book. This requires a certain understanding of the military book and some experience in the military. Although Wei Xu's answer is not comprehensive, he has some opinions of his own, which can be seen. , This kid is really enlightened, and he knows how to work hard and not be like before.

   "Okay!" After the examination, Lu Bu couldn't help but patted his palms and praised: "Bo Chuan, I always hoped that you could be my right-hand man, and now I can give you this long pass, and I can feel more at ease."

This Xiliang is Lu Bu's retreat, and at Longguan, Lv Bu retreated to the gateway of Longxi. As long as Longguan is still there, even if Lü Bu fails to fight for Chang'an, he still has a retreat. He can retreat to Xiliang, the south can plan Sichuan and Shu, and the east can wait for opportunities. To regain Guanzhong, as long as this place is there, Lu Bu will be invincible.

The only problem is that Lu Bu doesn't have someone who is very suitable now. Zhang Liao needs to help him guard the four Hexi counties in Wuwei. Gao Shun will follow him back to Chang'an, and Longguan is very important. What to say is to treat each other equally, and to really do things, there is another difference between closeness and acquaintance. If Wei Xu is still as unbearable as before, Lu Bu can only leave Wang Ling and take Wei Xu with him.

  Fortunately, this time, Wei Xu did not disappoint Lu Bu and was qualified to share some pressure for him.

   "The last commander used to be ignorant, and the tired master is worried about the last commander. The master can rest assured. From today onwards, Wei Xu is the shield in the master's hand!" Wei Xu bowed to Lu Bu.

   "Haha~ Good!" Lv Bu looked at Wei Xu's appearance, he hadn't opened up like this for a long time.

   "My lord, what's the good thing?" Ma Chao probed in from outside the door, looked at Lu Bu and asked curiously.

"My wife and brother are finally enlightened and willing to learn. Do you think it's a good thing?" Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao and smiled from his heart. good?

"This...of course it's a good thing, if it's nothing to do...the last will go to General Hua Xiong to discuss the art of war~" Ma Chao laughed dryly, looked at Wei Xu, then looked at Lu Bu, and with interest, he turned back and ran away. Now, as a security guard, if you change someone, even if you can keep your head, this position has already been replaced.

   "My lord, these young people recently... ah~ how many people can't learn if they want to?" Wei Xu shook his head as he looked at the direction Ma Chao left.

  Lü Bu glanced at him and said, "After reading the book for a few months~www.wuxiax.com~ Don't be too complacent."

Wei Xu has a big problem, and his achievements will be lost. For example, if he wins a battle with Lu Bu for the first time, he will be very excited, as if he led the victory. If this problem can be solved It's best to change it.

Of course, Lu Bu would beat him and would not directly tell him that there is a strange problem with human beings. If you don’t take two losses, you will never listen to people’s words. Moreover, the most repelling thing is the preaching of others, so Lu Bu is trying his best to restrain himself now. Don't preach to others yourself, sometimes it is more useful to do it directly than to preach.

   However, Wei Xu was such an adult, and it was a bit bad to do it, so Lu Bu just beat him a few words.

   "Don't worry, lord, you will be humble and prudent at the end, and you will not make mistakes." Wei Xu laughed.

   "I hope." Lu Bu could only trust him. In Longguan, it's enough to leave a person to guard the back road, it may not be useful.

After resting for a day in Longguan, Lü Bu took the army to set off again early the next morning, but this time he went straight for Anding. Along the way, news of Chang'an came like a flake of snow. A heavy snow in the winter of last year caused Guanzhong Many people would freeze to death, which Lu Bu had long expected, but what he didn't expect was that there would be corpses scattered all over the place...
