Perhaps Lu Bu's arrival had affected history! He had thought that he could enjoy two years of peace and happiness, but now it seemed that it was impossible. Moreover, the most important thing was that Zhuo County was right next to Youzhou, which was basically on the edge of a knife. If he were to take Youzhou first, he would not have to worry about the imperial court's army encircling him from behind.
Not long after, Chen Gong returned with a eunuch behind him. The moment he entered, the eunuch said to Lu Bu, who was sitting on the upper seat, in a strange tone,"Lord Lu, accept the imperial edict."
He was stunned for a moment before he immediately knelt down and shouted,"I accept the decree. Long live, long live, long live."”The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud,""Today, bandits are rampant. The unruly people are causing trouble, killing court officials without authorization, and suppressing the aristocratic families. Many ministers have recommended you, so I appoint you as the general of the crusade against the bandits and the governor of Youzhou. You will also manage Zhuo County for the time being and lead the Youzhou garrison to suppress the bandits. I'll grant you."
Lu Bu was stunned and thought to himself, Don't tell me I don't want Zhuo County anymore?”But he still immediately shouted,"I accept the decree, thank you for your longevity."”The eunuch handed the roll of cloth to Lu Bu, who took it with both hands and placed it on the incense table. He gave Chen Gong a look and smiled at the eunuch,"Milord has worked hard. Please rest in the hall.”After saying that, he turned to Chen Gong and said,"We must entertain you well."”Chen Gong nodded and led the eunuch out of the room.
Chen Gong led the eunuch outside the room and led him to a small room. The eunuch was stunned and asked,"Sir, what is the meaning of this?" Chen Gong smiled and took out a small box from the room. He opened the lid and saw that it was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry. Chen Gong said to the eunuch,"Milord, this is some compensation from my lord for your hard work. I hope Milord will accept it.”
The eunuch immediately put on a smile and said to Chen Gong with a strange laugh,"Lord Lyu is really a good man. Please don't worry about Lord Lyu. I will definitely discuss with all the constant attendants and recommend Lord Lyu to be the provincial governor of Youzhou Province. "However…" The eunuch pretended to be troubled as he looked at the box of jewelry. It seemed that he found it too little. Chen Gong chuckled and took out another box."As long as Milord is able to facilitate this matter, I will be greatly rewarded in the future.”The eunuch stroked the gold, silver, and jewelry in the box with trembling hands as he laughed strangely."Definitely. Don't worry, Lord Lu." The eunuch was so excited that he was incoherent. "Then, sir, take care. I'll go report to my lord first."”The eunuch immediately waved his hand and said,"Go, go. Don't delay the official business."”
When Chen Gong returned, he saw that all the generals in the hall had arrived. They were obviously waiting for him, so he apologized and sat down on the right.
Lu Bu glanced at him and said,""How many prefectures in Youzhou have the Yellow Turban Rebellion?”"There are only two counties," Chen Gong replied."The prefects have already fled.”Lu Bu nodded and said," There are many useless and corrupt officials in Youzhou. Now that the world is in turmoil, we should take this opportunity to purge all the officials in Youzhou. How about a public platform?"”Chen Gong thought for a moment before saying,"Now that the Imperial Court has been badly battered by the chaos caused by the Yellow Turbans, they can't care about us anymore. There's nothing wrong with this matter. However, I'm afraid that this will offend all the aristocratic families in Youzhou. Why don't we not resist first and then use the Yellow Turban rebels to help us select talents? Isn't that good?”
After hearing his words, she thought for a moment and nodded. After accepting it, she shook her head and said,"Although this is beneficial to us, I'm afraid that all the commoners will be in trouble.”
The generals nodded. Lu Bu looked at them and said,""Everyone, Gao Shun will be in charge of immediately organizing all the guards in Youzhou and recruiting all the local soldiers. Then, focus on defending Youzhou. Don't worry about the calls for help from other places.”The generals all agreed.
Lu Buyou said to Wen Chou and Yan Liang,""The two of you will temporarily follow Gao Shun to Youzhou and organize the local people to fight against the enemy. You can deal with those who harass the people during the war.”
Then he said to Zhang He," Zhang He, take your elite troops to Hebei to welcome the Left Military Advisor. If anything happens to him, bring your head to me."”"I accept your orders," Zhang He shouted.”
Lu Bu then turned to Gao Shun and said," Gather as many horses as you can. Choose those who are good at riding and archery to form a cavalry unit.”Gao Shun replied,"My lord, if it's a temporary cavalry, I'm afraid it won't be strong."”" The best training ground is the battlefield," Lu Bu said." As long as they go through a few battles, the cavalry will grow.”Gao Shun thought for a moment and immediately said,"My lord is wise. I'll do it now."”
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said,"Military counselor, take this opportunity to quickly issue a notice to recruit talents."”Chen Gong acknowledged the order. He looked at everyone and said,"Everyone, retreat and make preparations."”Everyone said in unison,"We'll take our leave."”Lu Bu nodded, indicating for everyone to leave.
At this moment, everyone in the imperial court was like ants on a hot pan. The Han Ling Emperor was so anxious that he almost died. He also appointed Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and several other important ministers of the imperial court as Zhonglang General. Lu Bu was recommended by Lu Zhi and the others to be Zhonglang General, mainly responsible for eliminating the Yellow Turban bandits in Youzhou. He Jin had strongly opposed it, but Lu Zhi and the others had guaranteed it with their lives. The Ten Generals had strongly recommended it in front of the Han Ling Emperor. In addition, Emperor Ling of Han had a good impression of Lu Bu, so he immediately appointed Lu Bu as the general of the crusade.
Cao Cao was just a small bandit captain who followed Huangfu Song.
At this time, in Zhuo County, because Lu Bu had ordered Chen Gong to gather the local soldiers and recruit talented people, Chen Gong had come to Zhuo County to see the situation of the conscription. As soon as he arrived at the place where the results were released, he heard a long sigh. Chen Gong frowned and looked at the person. He was seven feet five inches tall, with two ears and shoulders. His hands were above his knees. His eyes could look at his ears, his face was like jade, and his lips were like grease."Why are you sighing here instead of contributing to the country?" The guard bellowed.”Chen Gong glanced at the man with disdain.
The man saw that Chen Gong was a little annoyed and asked,"May I know your name?" Chen Gong didn't show any anger. He cupped his fists and said,""I am Chen Gong, Lord Lu's subordinate." Chen Gong had been praised by Lu Bu to be so capable, so how could he let go of such a trivial matter? Just by looking at his appearance, one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
"Forgive me for my offense. I am Wang Peng of Youzhou, and I am here to join the army!”He bowed to Chen Gong. Crawl-Book-Web-Text Starter Station, registered members can download
