Chapter 270 The Lu Family

In the prefect's mansion, Lu Bu took the wet silk scarf from the maid, wiped the dust from his face, and with the help of the soldiers, took off the armor on his body.

When he came, he was ready to enter the battlefield at any time. Now that there is no war in Nanyang, there is no need to wear armor anymore.

Stretching hard, Lu Bu came to Red Rabbit with some distress, held up the prepared horse food for Red Rabbit to eat, and reached out to touch Red Rabbit's mane.

After six days and six nights of running around, all the fat from Red Rabbit was lost. Now Red Rabbit is so thin that he has lost his appearance. If it were an ordinary war horse, it might have run to death.

Chitu ate a few mouthfuls of horse food, rubbed Lu Bu's palm affectionately, and then continued eating.

"Dad." While Lu Bu was feeding Red Rabbit, there were rapid footsteps behind him, followed by a soft cry.

Lu Bu didn't look back. Now that he knew his daughter was fine, he felt relieved. There was no need to show too much. His daughter was older and it was not good to be too affectionate: "Yes."

Lu Lingqi ran to the opposite side of Lu Bu and looked at Lu Bu blankly. Others may not have much emotion, but as a daughter, she could keenly sense her father's fatigue, which she had never felt before.

"Dad, you've lost weight." Lu Lingqi felt a little sour in her heart for a moment as she looked at Lu Bu's rare appearance.

"It's better to be thinner. I haven't fought for many years and I have gained weight. This time I'm going to attack Shu. I'm finally moving. Otherwise, if this continues, your mother will have to blame me." Lu Bu said indifferently.

"My mother doesn't know that." Lu Lingqi said with a sweet smile, but her smile was a little sour. She knew that the expedition to Shu could not make her father so tired. The news that had been sent before was all good news. How could it make her father tired? She was tired. She should be worried about herself. She was brought about by running around for days. Her charming voice gradually dropped, and after a while she said: "Dad, my daughter is unfilial, and my father is worried."

"It's fine if nothing happens." Lu Bu glanced at her and said with a smile: "When people grow up, they naturally have to experience a lot. Being a father allows you to experience the market and taste life. But now it seems that it is no longer necessary. You During this trip to Nanyang, my father didn't have the courage to adapt to changes and not be surprised at all times."

What do you look like at your age?

Lu Bu suddenly felt nostalgic, probably similar to Ma Chao before the Battle of Nanyang, but because he didn't meet any decent opponents like Ma Chao, he almost always moved forward without thinking too much, so... it might be a little more unbearable, this To put it bluntly, my daughter is stronger than myself at this period.

"It's my father who taught me well." Lu Lingqi stood next to Lu Bu and leaned close to Lu Bu. At this time, she actually wanted her father to hug her, but as she got older, this was obviously not good. Lu Bu had already She stopped holding her when she was eleven, and could only lean on him and act coquettishly like now.

"Actually, my father doesn't want to teach you. Do you know why?" Lu Bu groped Red Rabbit's mane and sighed.

"Because Lingqi is a girl?" Lu Lingqi was a little disappointed.

"Silly boy, what does this have to do with anything?" Lu Bu shook his head: "As a father, I just don't want you to suffer."

Lu Lingqi walked to Lu Bu silently and fed the horses with him, but said no more.

"The greatest pain for a person is not ignorance, but knowing everything but being powerless to change anything." Lu Bu carefully wiped the dirt from Red Rabbit's ears with a wet wipe and said at the same time: "You look like this, I feel it even if I think about it. "

Lu Lingqi nodded silently, just like what her father said, the more she knew, the world brought her not the gentleness after understanding the world, but a cold sense of oppression.

Every era has its own rules of operation. Han men are relatively tolerant towards women, but there are many problems faced by women joining the army, such as human concepts, military rules, physical surprises, and human hearts, etc. Unless Lu Lingqi Just like before, she came out disguised as a man, otherwise even if her father was Lu Bu, it would be difficult for her to lead an army on her own.

The best destination is to be like Cai Yan, become a doctor, or go to an academy to teach students the art of war. This is what the times have given. No matter who you are, it will be difficult to break this mountain.

Lu Lingqi has traveled among the people in the past two years, tasted the food of thousands of families, suffered the hardships of thousands of families, and by chance achieved military success in Nanyang. She knows much more than ordinary people, but as Lu Bu said, she has no understanding of this world. The clearer you see, the more helpless some things become.

The originally warm scene of father and daughter getting together has somehow become more heavy.

"Does the father want the child to give up?" Lu Lingqi said unwillingly.

"Look at you." Lu Bu turned to look at his daughter: "You have seen how difficult the road is. If you give up, your father will be happy, but if you still want to leave, find the way by yourself. Don't ask me, who is your father? Lu Bu is not a good person."

At the end of the sentence, Lu Bu grinned at his daughter.

The heavy atmosphere instantly broke with Lu Bu's smile. Lu Lingqi couldn't help but laugh, nodded fiercely and said, "Thank you, father, my daughter understands!"

Father and daughter had been separated for several years, and they had endless things to talk about. It was not until late at night that Lu Lingqi was driven back by Lu Bu. After running around for days, Lu Bu was really tired and fell asleep. As for the future of her daughter... Lu Bu was naturally like all parents, hoping His daughter has a good home, but he doesn't want her to be unhappy. Although Yan will definitely nag about this matter, for Lu Bu, it is a good thing for children to have their own pursuits and ideals, even if this era does not allow it, But...so what?

In the next few days, Lu Bu rarely had time to relax. The matters in Shu were settled. The remaining matters were left to Zhang Liao and Fazheng. If he followed the normal steps, Lu Bu should turn his attention to the Central Plains. After all, the most important thing in the world was He has defeated all the difficult places. Except for a few dangerous places in Jizhou and Qingzhou, the Central Plains is almost undefeable. If he uses troops, Lu Bu is confident that he can defeat all the heroes in the world.

However, now is not the best time to restore unification. The unification Lu Bu wants is different from the previous unification. The current unification cannot completely eradicate some hidden diseases of the Han Dynasty. What happened in the past will happen again in the future.

Taking advantage of the period in the future of the Flying Cavalry Army, Nanyang was reorganized by Lu Bu. This time, thirty-two families were broken up by Lu Bu. Different from the past, no one was killed, but the family property was confiscated. This was necessary. So far, the cultivated land in Nanyang Resources returned to the court.

Although this battle has damaged Nanyang's vitality, from now on, Nanyang will be completely controlled by Lu Bu just like Guanzhong.

On the sixth day after Lu Bu arrived in Nanyang, Yin Feng came back. After seeing Lu Bu, he was also overjoyed and hurriedly came to see him.

"Is Yuan Shu really going to war with Cao Cao this time?" Lu Bu asked casually while looking at the letter sent by Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu only stationed troops in Qiao County, but did not advance further. After Cao Cao came back, he withdrew his troops back to Ruyin. Now the two families are negotiating." Yin Feng said with a bow.

After he learned that Cao Cao had withdrawn, he immediately said goodbye to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu obviously had no intention of completely breaking up with Cao Cao. If he continued to stay with Yuan Shu, he might be in danger.

"You are much more cunning!" Lu Bu looked at the letter sent by Yuan Shu. The whole letter was full of praise for Lu Bu. It was hard to imagine that this was the same Yuan Shu who was so arrogant and wanted to beat everyone he met.

For this reason, Lu Bu felt like a prince. This time he sent troops. Obviously he didn't want to start a war with Lu Bu, but he also didn't want to completely break up with Cao Cao. He chose this method to help Nanyang resolve the siege without completely offending Cao Cao.

Moreover, looking back on this matter in hindsight, Yuan Shu indirectly helped Cao Cao. If Gao Shun had waited for Gao Shun to pass, it was doubtful whether Cao Cao would be able to return with the strength of his troops at the time.

But after all, I am still a little naive. I want to avoid offending both sides, but the usual result is that I offend both sides.

"This Yuan Shu is also interesting. This approach is tantamount to deviating from Yuan Shao, but he is unwilling to completely draw a clear line with Yuan Shao." Yin Feng frowned and said, he was very puzzled by Yuan Shu's approach.

"After all, there is a thread left." Lu Bu closed the bamboo slip and handed it to Li Ru, who smiled and said, "After all, if we completely join forces with our army, it will have a huge impact on Yuan Shu."

Nowadays, Lu Bu can be said to be the public enemy of the world. Even if Yuan Shu intends to attach himself to Lu Bu, he does not dare to be too blatant. Otherwise, either Cao Cao or Liu Bei can defeat him. If the two families join forces to attack, Yuan Shu will be doomed.

Li Ru also smiled and said: "Besides, now that Sun Ce is dead, Jiangdong has no owner. After Yuan Shu finds out about this, he will definitely take a peek at Jiangdong. Naturally, he will not dare to fall out with either Cao Cao or Liu Bei about this matter."

Once Sun Ce dies, if Jiangdong cannot quickly find a person in charge, the possibility of Yuan Shu taking Jiangdong is still very high. Firstly, Sun Ce has always been Yuan Shu's general in name. Secondly, Sun Ce used iron-blooded methods in Jiangdong. Naturally, no one could say anything during his lifetime, but once Sun Ce died and without his suppression, how could the Jiangdong gentry be content with being ordinary at this time?

Jiangdong is more likely to fall into civil strife. If Yuan Shu is not confused and woos the Jiangdong nobles, and then woos a few Sun Ce's generals, he still has a high chance of winning Jiangdong.

Lu Bu smiled and nodded. Now Yuan Shu's mind is not on the battlefield at all. Then the focus of the next battle will be Yuan Shao. Since the Feiqi camp was built, it has been fighting small battles. It is just a good opportunity to take a look at the Feiqi camp. The true strength of the battalion.

After another ten days, the flying cavalry army finally arrived in Nanyang.

There are six thousand people in the flying cavalry army, and they only listen to Lu Bu's orders. And unlike ordinary cavalry troops, the flying cavalry battalion is made up of one person and three people. The war horses are not only good horses picked from a thousand miles, but more importantly, they are responsible for transporting soldiers, and the light cavalry rushes forward. , but one horse is carrying a horse armor and other protective gear. When needed, it can immediately put on the horse armor. The soldiers also put on heavy armor, specializing in heavy riding. Each person has a repeating crossbow, and the weapons are specially made lances and horse-killing weapons. The sword and three short spears were used for throwing.

Such a cavalry army can not only attack from a distance, but also directly crush the enemy formation like the tiger and leopard cavalry. As long as it is not an army like the trapped camp, the flying cavalry battalion can easily defeat it. With this man and horse, Even if there is an army of 100,000, Lu Bu dares to break through!
