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

Chapter 45

The battle at Yanmen Pass was in full swing, and the cruel training in Yunzhong County never stopped for a day.

During the period, there was a moderate amount of rain. This spring rain came a month later than expected. The rain was not heavy, but it fell for two full days.

There is a saying that spring rain is as expensive as oil.

For the people in the north, this rain is undoubtedly God's special favor.Since June of last year, the entire north has not received a single drop of rain. The long-term drought has caused disasters and famines are everywhere. The aristocratic and powerful families have stored food, but they never take it out to help the victims and let them disperse.

Now that this spring rain is coming, many dead crops will inevitably be brought back to life.

Some are happy, some are worried.

Budugen, one of the three kings of Xianbei, is undoubtedly the one who is worried. After losing tens of thousands of children, many pioneer soldiers have already attacked the tower of Yanmen Pass, but because of the sudden rain, Budugen had to stop temporarily The offensive gave the already weakened Yanmen Pass defenders a chance to breathe.

There are too many disadvantages in fighting in rainy days. Even if Bu Dugen wanted to take Yanmen Pass quickly, he had to suspend his banner at this time.

Fu Tuhe, the wise man of Xianbei, could hold his breath. In his eyes, Yanmen Pass was already in his pocket, and he was not in a hurry.

On May [-]th, there are still four days until the summer solstice. The weather in the north is still mild and cool. There is no scorching heat of approaching summer. On the contrary, it is like the spring of March in the Central Plains.

However, this day is destined to be recorded in the annals of history by the official historian.

At the end of Yin time, the sky was covered with mist, and thousands of soldiers had gathered in the martial arts field in Yunzhong County.

The soldiers wore white clothes inside and black light armor on the outside. The armor was neat. They led a horse in their left hand. On the horse's back hung a six-foot-long Lujia knife, a hard bow, and two barrels of twenty arrow feathers each.

Not a single sound could be heard in the entire martial arts arena, and more than a thousand soldiers stood quietly in place, as if they were petrified statues, letting the breeze blow their faces.

Very weird scene.

A blurry figure appeared in everyone's field of vision. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his tall figure was too eye-catching.

Lu Bu climbed up the steps, his black military boots that covered his ankles stepped on the steps, making a soft rustling sound.

Thousands of eyes shot at the figure, and as Lu Bu approached the stage, the eyes of the soldiers turned from calm to hot, and then from hot to fanatic.

When Lu Bu stepped onto the martial arts stage and walked slowly to the front of the stage to look down on all living beings, the originally silent martial arts field reached the peak of boiling in an instant.

"General! General! General..."

The soldiers shouted loudly and waved their right fists in the air, oblivious to everything around them.

…………

"Are they crazy?"

The gray-clothed man who was watching the martial arts field from a distance lowered his eyebrows slightly, unable to understand the sudden excitement of these soldiers.

His name is Cui Xu, and he was captured by the Xianbei as a spoil of war dozens of days ago, working as a coolie in the city.

Pushing forward further, he was the nephew of the previous Wuyuan prefect Cui Shi (shi), but he was caught by the Xianbei people as a slave because of bad luck, but he was lucky enough to encounter tricks in the city.

Xi Ce had a smile on his face. If he didn’t enter the barracks, he would never understand the admiration these soldiers had for Lv Bu, who was extremely powerful. same as you."

Cui Xu's surname is Cui, and there is Cui Lie, one of the Nine Ministers in the court, who is also surnamed Cui, and there is another family in Jizhou who still has the surname Cui.

With a playful mind, it is not difficult to guess the tricks.

Cui Xu's father was a concubine from a side branch of the Cui family, and had never been valued by the Cui family, and Cui Xu was also born of his father's concubine, so his status was even more humble.

There is only one person in the entire Cui family who is kind to Cui Xu, and that person is Cui Shi.

When Cui Xu was five years old, Cui Shi was appointed as the governor of Wuyuan County by the court, and took Cui Xu to the remote and desolate Wuyuan County, far away from the rich hometown of Jizhou.

At that time, Wuyuan's economy and culture were backward, and the people's life was extremely miserable.

Wuyuan is suitable for growing hemp, but the local people don't know how to plant or weave. In winter, they have no clothes to keep out the cold, so they pile up grass in the house and sleep in it.

After Cui Jian took office, he began to teach the people the techniques of planting hemp, weaving and tailoring, which improved people's lives.

Later, when Cui Shi was mentioned in the whole Wuyuan County, no one would give a thumbs up and praise him.

Wuyuan County is located in a frontier fortress. At that time, the overlord of the north was still the Huns, who often invaded Wuyuan County to kill people and rob things.In order to stabilize the frontier fortress, Cui Shi rectified his troops and horses, built city defenses, and personally led the army to attack the Huns in the north, so that they would not dare to invade again.

However, it was such a hero who was deeply loved by the people and repelled the Huns. After his death, no one in the entire Cui family buried him. Only a boy in his teens dug the soil with his hands for a day and a night, and his hands and fingers were bloody. Four streams, Cui Shi was buried in the tomb.

"One day, I will make the Cui family pay back everything!"

Cui Xu's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a very common and trivial matter, without even a trace of anger, because years of ups and downs in his career made him understand that impulsiveness and irascibility can't solve any problems.

Cui Xu then looked at Xi Ce again, and there was a question he couldn't figure out, "Xi Ce, why do you want to help me deal with the Cui family? Did you have any grievances with the Cui family before?"

"You can leave the Cui family's petty fights to you. What I have to deal with is a giant monster!"

There was a gleam of light in Xi Ce's eyes, but he didn't give any specific explanation. Now Lu Bu doesn't have a single scribe under his command. Although this Cui Xu is not extremely intelligent, he has learned a lot after following Cui Shi for so many years. Divide skills.

Lu Bu on the martial arts stage made a quiet gesture, and the entire martial arts field instantly returned to its original silence.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with the reaction and performance of the soldiers below. Looking at the [-] soldiers under the platform, there were indeed [-] soldiers, no more and no less, all brought out by him.

How hard the training is, Lu Bu knows that even if it is raining, they all have to go out for training, it is really difficult for such a group of men to persevere until now.

The breeze is blowing slowly, and the hazy sky is gradually being occupied by light.

Lu Bu only used 25 days of the agreed 23 days, so yesterday he specially gave these guys a day off, so that they don't have to train and let them indulge once.

The result of the fact was that everyone, including Lu Bu, was surprised. This group of men seemed to have developed a habit of getting up early, hacking on horseback, and holding a knife at night. Huo) A and sleep.

Lu Bu closed his eyes and enjoyed the caress of the wind. After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and his voice suddenly increased several degrees, "I'll ask one last time, is there anyone willing to quit?"

This time he went to Yanmen Pass and escaped death, Lu Bu didn't want to force others to accompany him to his death.Besides, after so many days of training, an indescribable friendship has been established between Lu Bu and them.

"No! No! No!!!"

The soldiers yelled three times in a row, fighting with enthusiasm.

"Okay, you are worthy of being my son from Bingzhou!"

Seeing that none of them quit, Lu Bu was not only proud of them, but also proud of himself for having such a group of brothers who followed him to the death.

At this time, Cao Xing raised his head from below and shouted at Lu Bu: "Boss, I heard that in ancient times, those famous generals went out to war, and the troops they led would all have imposing names, like the battle-axes and iron cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. Chu Overlord’s Suifeng Army, etc., do you want to get one for your brothers? That will show our prestige.”

"Yes, yes, Cao Junhou, this proposal is good!"

"General, get one!"

"We are all risking our lives. If we are unlucky and go to hell, we will come to Lord Hades in the future. We have to report a famous name no matter what."

"........."

The soldiers in the audience booed accordingly, and the originally quiet scene now looked like a market where various peddlers came and went.

Lu Bu laughed wryly at this, and he would not ask Cao Xing to read more books on weekdays, but now he was pretending to be a scholar, and he didn't know whether the battle-axes and iron cavalry and the fire-fighting beacon army were fabricated by him on the spur of the moment, or whether there was such a thing.

Still, it's a good suggestion.

"Cao Xing, tell me, what name should I choose?"

As soon as Lu Bu's words came out, everyone turned their attention to Cao Xing again, to see what kind of domineering name he could give.

Cao Xing was well-known in the army as an old man with a thick skin. Even though he was stared at by so many people, he did not hesitate at all. He raised his head and chest like a proud rooster, and boldly said to Lu Bu: "No. [-] in the world!" Jun, boss, what do you think?"

What kind of name is that?
Lu Bu was speechless, and his handsome face was filled with confusion. It seemed that it was extremely unreliable to count on Cao Xing, an uneducated ruffian.

"General, what do you think of the Dragon and Tiger Army?"

Hou Cheng saw that Lv Bu didn't say anything, so he quickly gave his opinion.

"How's the Tiger Guard camp?"

"Invincible Battalion!"

"Tiger and leopard ride!"

…………

Lu Bu didn't nod his head, but people continued to yell out their opinions. It would be such an honor to let this army bear his own name.

The momentum was there, but Lu Bu always felt that something was missing.

Xianbei people often call themselves "the wolf on the prairie". It may not be that I am a man from Bingzhou who is a vegetarian. You can travel thousands of miles with a wolf, but I am not.

As Lu Bu thought so, three extremely familiar words came out of his mouth unconsciously, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

Wolf riding camp.

Cao Xing, standing at the forefront of the soldiers, immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly after hearing these three words, "Wolf riding battalion, wolf riding battalion, hahaha... Well, Xianbei people are wolves, and we are wolves too, but we are Lao Tzu, they are sons, it is only natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son, Boss, your name is good...hahaha, really good!"

These soldiers were rough men who could not read a few words. In their view, the Wolf Cavalry Battalion was far less open than Cao Xing's No. [-] Army in the World.But after Cao Xing's explanation, he suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense, and he admired Lu Bu very much in his heart. The general had such a far-sighted and far-sighted name, and each of them imitated howling wolves, shouting "Wolf Riding Battalion" their glorious names.

There was already a black line on Lu Bu's forehead. He never thought that Cao Xing's comprehension ability would go astray to such an extent. However, since everyone passed, Lu Bu didn't bother to change it.

After giving this cavalry army the title of "Wolf Cavalry Battalion", Lu Bu was ready to give the order to set off.

At some point, Xi Ce quietly walked onto the martial arts stage, followed by Hao Meng, holding a rectangular wooden box five feet long and two feet wide in his hand.

Lu Bu was a little confused, so he asked Xiang Xice: "Sir, what's the important thing?"

Xi Ce changed into a clean navy blue shirt today, changed from his previous slovenly and lazy image, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Today is the day when you go out to fight, General, and Xi happened to have a gift that he wanted to give to the General."

After finishing speaking, Xi Ce nodded slightly to Hao Meng, indicating that he could act.

Hao Meng walked to the edge of the martial arts platform, pushed open the cover above the wooden box, took out the contents, grasped the top left and right corners with both hands, and shook it vigorously, the bright scarlet flag over ten feet long fluttered in the wind.

The flag is bordered in white, with a large black character 'Lu' embroidered in the middle, with square strokes and majestic momentum.

Officials to school lieutenants can be called "generals" and can raise flags.

Xi Ce, a skinny young man who usually speaks softly, is uncharacteristically at this moment. He imitated the soldiers just now and shouted, his thin face was flushed, "Under the flag of Lu, you are invincible..."

"Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

The atmosphere in the martial arts arena was ignited again, and the shouts in the arena rose again and again, one after another.

Lu Bu could only feel a raging fire burning violently in his chest, burning his blood hot and flowing through every meridian in his body.

After a while, Lu Bu's mood finally calmed down, and he bowed his hands to the actor, his body almost vertically at ninety degrees, "Thanks to Mr. for helping me several times, Bu can't repay you."

Xi Ce straightened Lu Bu up, and said with a smile, "General, return in triumph."

Lu Bu nodded heavily, "Song Xian, take the flag!"

Hearing Lu Bu's order, Song Xian stepped forward to take the flag from Hao Meng's hands, and those murderous hands trembled slightly.

"Get on the horse!"

At Lü Bu's order, none of the 300 people hesitated. They took a step back with their left leg, and the armor made a neat rubbing sound. They raised their legs and rolled over to get on the horse's back, quickly and powerfully.

At the city gate, the people learned that Lu Bu was going out of the city to fight the Xianbei people. More than 2000 people waited quietly at the city gate before dawn. Their lives were saved by Lu Bu. If Lu Bu hadn't attacked Yunzhong County , they may be dead, let alone their freedom now regained.

When they heard the shouts and roars from the Martial Arts Field, the common people unconsciously felt a special sense of pride. How lucky they are to have such an army guarding them.

Horseshoes step on, from far to near.

Lu Bu was dressed in armor like an ordinary soldier, and he rode at the front. Even so, Lu Bu was recognized by the people immediately.

"General Lu, come on!!!"

"Let those Xianbei bastards taste the power of our Bingzhou army!"

"We are waiting for your triumphant voice in the city, be careful on the road..."

A few bold people shouted directly, and of course there were many words of concern.

The soldiers guarding the city looked at the wolf cavalry battalion with envy in their eyes. Once upon a time, they also had the opportunity to join this tyrannical team, but they couldn't bear the pain and chose to quit halfway.

It doesn't make any sense to regret it now.

Lu Bu called Wei Musheng to him, and said earnestly: "Musheng, after I leave, you will be in charge of guarding the city. Remember to listen to Mr. Xi's advice."

Wei Musheng opened his mouth slightly, hesitant to speak, in the deepest part of his heart, he also imagined to be like Song Xian and Cao Xing, following Lu Bu to the Yanmen Pass, which man would not want to make contributions and fight blood on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Wei Musheng is a person with a view of the overall situation, knowing that Lu Bu has entrusted him with a big task, so he clasped his fists at Lu Bu and said, "General, be careful all the way!"

Lu Bu nodded. He had already walked out of the city gate on horseback. Looking at Xi Tse who was still walking beside him, he subconsciously said, "Sir, if I..."

"General, there is no if."

Xi Ce's eyes were still the same as before, but his answer was extremely firm.

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth drew a slightly upward arc, which was extraordinarily confident.

Lu Bu raised his whip, and lightly pinched the horse's belly with his legs. The horse seemed to have been enlightened, raised its two front hooves, stomped a few times in the air, and let out a loud horse whistling.

Then, with a kick on his hind legs, he galloped forward at a high speed, followed by [-] armored men and [-] tall horses, who ran away like a strong wind.

The war horse neighed, and there was a man in Bingzhou, whose body was shrouded in horse leather.

"Will you win, sir?"

Hao Meng looked at the [-] horses galloping away, and stood there in a daze.

In the early hours of last night, he received the order of the plot to drag the remaining 530 Xianbei prisoners to the outskirts and behead them. Ha Chihu and Wu Chong were doomed this time. A huge white banner was completely stained with scarlet blood. vividly.

Looking at the wolf riding battalion that had disappeared from sight, Xi Tie resumed his habitual actions in the past, put his hands into his cuffs, bent his body and murmured, "I will win!"
