the first chapter
As a middle school history teacher, Lu Qing's life was extremely leisurely. After nine to five every day, other than accompanying his girlfriend, his biggest hobby was to dig into piles of old papers to study all kinds of historical events. Amongst them, he was most interested in the Three Kingdoms.
That afternoon, after school, he had dinner with his girlfriend as usual and sent her home. He rushed home, turned on his computer, and started to study the " Records of the Three Kingdoms " that he had read three or four times.
After a while, he was immersed in it. When he raised his head due to thirst, he realized that it was already one o'clock in the morning. Lu Qing went to the kitchen to pour a cup of water and drank it as he returned to his room. He inadvertently glanced out the window and opened his mouth wide.
At this moment, a shooting star was flying towards him with a long tail in the distant sky. It arrived in front of him in a short while.
Lu Qing, who wanted to call for help, realized that he could not open his mouth because of nervousness. Time seemed to have stopped. He could no longer do anything and could only watch the meteor. Seeing the shooting star getting closer and closer, he became more and more afraid. He couldn't help but think,'Am I going to be killed by this meteor? What a jinx! What should I do?
Before he could think of a solution, the meteor had already arrived in front of him. As the meteorite collided with the building, the expected explosion did not occur, and he was safe and sound. Just as he was about to rejoice, a dazzling blue light suddenly erupted. Then, he lost consciousness. After he fainted, his body was slowly absorbed into the blue light. Everything returned to normal. It was as if nothing had happened. The computer in the room was still buzzing, but the owner had disappeared.
Accompanied by a tearing pain in his head, Lu Qing slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a row of thick wooden beams above his head. There were wooden doors, windows, and walls all around him, as if he was in ancient times. Even the bed he was lying on was unique to the Han Dynasty.
What was this place? He was clearly at home. Lu Qing was about to get up to look for an answer when he realized that the wooden door facing him had suddenly opened. A group of people walked in.
The leader of the group was a burly man with a full beard. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. When he saw that Lu Qing had already opened his eyes, he took two steps forward and shouted,"Fengxian, my son, you're finally awake. You made me worry for a long time!”
Fengxian? Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian! I became Lu Bu? Heavens! This was the Three Kingdoms? What was going on? Did that meteor send me back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Lu Qing completely collapsed and fainted again.
When Lyu woke up again, the sky was already dark. Looking at the various furniture in the room that should only be in ancient times, Lu Qing was confused. What was going on? Had he really become Lu Bu? Amidst his astonishment, Lu Bu's information appeared in his mind. He's from Wuyuan and Jiuyuan. At first, he joined the Bingzhou governor Ding Yuan. Later, he killed Ding Yuan for the sake of Red Rabbit Horse and returned to Dong Zhuo. He became Dong Zhuo's adopted son and was worshipped as Marquis Wen. People ridiculed him as a slave of the three surnames. Later, he fell into Situ Wang Yun and Diao Chan's serial plot to conspire to kill Dong Zhuo. Lü Bu was good at archery and horse riding. He was also known as the Flying General. He was the number one hero of the Three Kingdoms. As the saying goes,"Lu Bu among men, red rabbit among horses". Cao Cao captured Xuzhou and killed him at the White Gate Tower.
Although he was the number one general of the three kingdoms, his reputation was extremely bad. Moreover, he was a weak scholar. How could he be a general! Lu Qing immediately jumped off the bamboo couch and walked to the wall. He picked up the bronze mirror on the table. Heavens! His jaw dropped. Although the bronze mirror was blurry, he could still see that this face was much more handsome than before! Had he really become Lu Bu? Otherwise, how could he become like this?
Putting down the bronze mirror, he looked at his hands and arms. They were much stronger than before. It seemed that he had really become Lu Bu.
Sitting on the ground dejectedly, Lu Qing thought of his elderly parents, cute girlfriends, and those innocent and lively students. How could this be? He was really unlucky!
Unknowingly, the sky had already brightened. Two maidservants pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Lu Qing sitting on the ground in a daze, he exclaimed and hurriedly ran over to help him up.
Lu Qing, who had been woken up, saw the two girls supporting him with great effort. He hurriedly stood up and thanked them repeatedly. The two servant girls were immediately stunned, and then their faces turned red.
The servant girl on the left bowed to Lu Qing and said,"Lord Marquis, you're finally awake. This servant will inform the Prime Minister."
"This servant will help the Marquis wash up."”
Lu Qing, who had already woken up, realized that he could only be Lu Bu. Since that was the case, he had to do something earth-shattering! This way, he would not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, he couldn't miss Diao Chan, one of the Four Beauties! Haha!
Following the servant girl to Dong Zhuo's hall, Lu Qing had already learned that it was the first year of Emperor Xian's Chuping, October 189 AD. Prince Chen Liu, Liu Xie, had already ascended the throne for more than a month.
Lu Bu (for the sake of writing, he would be called Lu Bu from now on, no longer Lu Qing) suddenly fainted on the way to the military camp outside the city. Dong Zhuo was shocked and immediately brought him into the residence to ask the imperial physicians to treat him. However, the imperial physicians could not do anything until Lu Bu woke up three days later.
Walking into the hall, Lu Bu thought about the etiquette of the Han Dynasty and bowed to Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the middle of the hall."This child is unfilial and has made father worry for this child.”
Dong Zhuo laughed." My son, why do you say that?" he said in a clear voice." You've just recovered from a serious illness. There's no need to be so polite." I think Fengxian must be tired and sick from training the soldiers for his father for days. You can have a good rest these few days and don't worry about military affairs.”
"Thank you for your concern, father. I know. Did anything big happen these few days? I'm willing to share your worries." Lu Bu said with "concern".
"Haha, who else in the court dares to disobey my orders? Even the Emperor has to do as I say. Haha, the Liu Family is probably going to change their surname.”Dong Zhuo said proudly.
"Congratulations, father. I am willing to help you clear all obstacles to the throne.”
"Good! At that time, he would have to rely on Feng Xian's halberd. You should go back to the residence and rest first." Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
"Yes, Father." Lu Bu bowed again and left the hall.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Bu frowned. In three months, the dukes would raise an army against Dong Zhuo. He had to seize the opportunity.
The autumn wind of October blew in Luoyang, making people feel the bleakness of autumn. Looking at the bustling crowd outside the car window, he thought about how in four to five months, this city, which was currently one of the second largest cities in the world, would be burned to the ground. Lu Bu couldn't bear to see this. Should he care or not? He fell into deep thought.
It was not until the carriage stopped that he came back to his senses. He had already reached home. Forget it, I don't want to think about it. I'll take it one step at a time. Thinking of this, Lu Bu jumped out of the car easily. Then, he was shocked by the door in front of him.
What a huge gate! The three red painted doors were five meters wide. At this moment, only the small doors on both sides were open. The two-person-tall courtyard wall was 30 meters long from east to west. There was a plaque hanging above the door, with the words 'Duting Marquis Fu'.
This was his home! It was so big. Thinking back to the 50 square meters of one bedroom and one living room that he used to live in, it was like heaven and earth. Moreover, this was the central area of the city. If it was in the 21st century, it would definitely cost tens of millions. Just as he was about to laugh proudly and celebrate that he was also a rich man. Then, he woke up. What was the use of having such a big house here? It was just a symbol of status.
Shaking his head, Lu Bu walked through the door and called for the guard who was still saluting him.
After carefully walking around the house for two hours, he finally figured out the layout of the courtyard. The entrance was a 10-meter-long stone path with winding corridors on both sides. There was a small door at the end of each corridor, which should be where the servants lived. At the end of the stone path was a large room, about 100 square meters, which was the place to receive guests. In the middle was a place reserved for dancers to perform. On both sides and the north side were eight or nine low tables, surrounded by long screens. There was a two-meter-wide door on both sides of the back wall of the room. After passing through the door, it was still a corridor and a stone path. However, there were two large flowerbeds in the courtyard. At the end of the corridor was a guest room, but it was much smaller than the one before it. This was a place to meet friends and family. There were two guest rooms on both sides of the room. After that was Lu Bu's bedroom. There was a living room, a bedroom, and a maid's room. Further behind was a large garden. There were fake mountains, lakes, flower gardens, bamboo forests, and pavilions. In a corner of the garden, there was a 10-meter long and wide martial arts field. All kinds of weapons were placed on the shelves around it.
Then, Lu Bu summoned all the servants in the living room and questioned them in detail. He knew that there were 100 guards in the mansion, all of whom were his personal guards. There were 20 male servants who were mainly responsible for food, cleaning the courtyard, and feeding the horses.(Don't think that feeding the horses is easy, not to mention that Red Rabbit needs to eat more than 10 catties of licorice and wheat every day.) Just the guards alone had 100 horses!）The twenty maids were in charge of Lu Bu's meals, daily life, and house cleaning. In addition, there were 20 kabuki performers and two butlers.
In the Han Dynasty, there were usually only two meals in the morning and evening. After breakfast, Lu Bu, who had just returned to his bedroom to take a nap, heard a maid report that his eight subordinates had come to visit him.
Lu Bu was startled, his sleepiness gone. Amazing, Zhang Liao! That was a famous general, and even the other seven were generals who had experienced hundreds of battles!
"Quickly call them in." Lu Bu said excitedly.
Walking into the small living room and sitting on the main seat, the eight of them walked in one after another. They then knelt down on one knee and bowed to Lu Bu,""Greetings, General!"
He looked at Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng. Lu Bu was extremely excited. They and their soldiers were the capital he needed to conquer the world! "Get up quickly, no need to be so polite," he said hurriedly.”
Then, he suddenly thought of another general under him, Gao Shun, and asked,""Where's Gao Shun? Where is he?"
Zhang Liao cupped his fists and said,"General, Gao Shun is training the soldiers in the barracks. Do you want me to call him over?"”
"Oh? Then forget it. All of you, sit down." Lu Bu thought about it and decided to take a look at the eight of them first. He said.
"General, is your body alright?”The straightforward Zang Ba spoke first.
"Haha, it's fine now. Thank you for your trouble.”Lu Bu replied with a smile. He thought to himself,'It seems like this Zang Ba is a simple-minded guy, I'll start with him.'
"I understand everyone's intentions. Today, I want to drink with everyone. No one is allowed to refuse. Haha."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard that. Zhang Liao laughed and said,""Since General has such an interest, we will risk our lives to accompany you. Haha."
"Yes." "That's right." "I'll definitely accompany you at the risk of my life." Everyone agreed.
"Come on, serve the wine." Lu Bu shouted.
Half-drunk, Lu Bu deliberately filled his cup to the brim, then sighed and poured more wine.
"General, why are you sighing?" Hou Cheng asked.”
Lu Bu sighed and said slowly,""It's fine, it's fine."
"General, if you have any troubles, we are willing to share your worries," said Zhang Liao.”
"Yes, I'm willing to share your worries." Zang Ba, who was already half-drunk, said loudly.
"Hehe, what's bothering me? It's rare to be happy today, so I'll write a poem for everyone to help you drink. When autumn comes, on the 8th of September, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom. The array of Heavenly Incense penetrated Luoyang, and the whole city was covered with golden armor.”
"General! This poem was not good. If the Prime Minister heard it, he would definitely be angry.”Zhang Liao was shocked and quickly advised.
"Yes, General, you can't say that.”Song Xian said.
"Haha, so what? I, Lu Bu, am invincible in martial arts. His subordinates were battle-hardened soldiers. He wanted to ride the battlefield and conquer the world. However, he had wanted to take the thief as his father, but he was not able to put him in an important position. He had no more than ten thousand soldiers and only had the title of Marquis Wen. It's said that heroes come from troubled times, but why can't I stand out! The heavens are unfair!" Lu Bu said in pain.
"What's so difficult about that? General, give the order and we will charge into the old thief's residence and tear him into pieces.”Zang Ba said indifferently.
"Haha, Xuan Gao, you're drunk. If it was so easy, everyone in the world could sit down.”Lu Bu was amused by his words.
"Lord, Wen Yuan is willing to serve as a pawn and contribute to Lord's hegemony.”Zhang Liao bowed and said forcefully.
Hearing this, Zang Ba sobered up. The seven of them echoed,"I'm willing to serve my lord!"”
"Alright, then I, Lu Fengxian, will definitely lead everyone to create a great cause!”Lu Bu said excitedly.
Looking at his eight subordinates, Lu Bu slowly said,""Now, Dong Zhuo is going against the rules, imprisoning the Young Emperor and threatening Emperor Xian. He burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes in Luoyang. The vassals of the world will definitely crusade against Dong in the short term. Now, we must seize the time to train the soldiers. When the time comes, we will seize the military power, kill the traitor Dong, and support Emperor Xian. If we hold the emperor and order the vassals, the world will fall into our hands.”
Lu Bu was very clear about these eight people. Among the others, only Zang Ba could be considered a general. Therefore, he didn't tell them everything he had in mind. It was better to wait for his plan before letting them carry it out.
"Alright, the 10,000 soldiers in our hands are our assets. Everyone must train them strictly and train them into warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.”Lu Bu ordered after some thought.
"Yes, my lord." The eight of them cupped their fists in response.
"Wenyuan, you'll be in charge of training the 5,000 cavalrymen. You must train them to be like the Western Liang cavalrymen. Cao Xing, Song Xian, and Wei Xu assisted him. The five thousand infantry will be trained by Gao Shun. Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, you three will assist. Xuan Gao, I will go to the military camp in three days. At that time, I will give you a mission. Alright, all of you go and prepare."
