Lu Bu let out a strange smile as he watched the crowd leave. Haha, this time, he had to calculate it properly. Dong Zhuo, you old thief, I'll let you dance for a few more days. Cao Cao, you're an evil man. I can't let you live. Liu Bei, I'll let you off this time. Cry slowly. Yuan Shao, let me fight this battle of Guandu. Haha, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, obediently follow my orders. Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, let's see where you can escape to. Hehe ~~
Lu Bu fell into a frenzied fantasy. Oh right, there's also Little Sister Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi. Hehehe, all the beauties of the Three Kingdoms must be captured in one go. Lu Bu had only been awake for an entire morning, but he was already so happy that he couldn't find the north.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Bu suddenly realized that it was time for him to practice martial arts. This time, he was completely dumbfounded. One had to know that in the past, he could not do any other sports except radio gymnastics and Taiji Fist. The Heavenly Halberd, he absolutely could not fool around with it! After feeling disappointed for a while, he decided to give it a try. After all, a huge accident had already fallen on his head. It was not a big deal.
Thinking of this, he ordered," Men, bring my halberd to the Martial Arts Practice Field. I want to practice."”After saying that, he impatiently walked to the back garden.
Waving his hand, Lu Bu dismissed everyone from the garden and walked towards the halberd that was placed on a shelf. He raised his hand and was about to hold it when he stopped. Then, he smiled in relief and clenched his right hand.
From the hand holding the halberd, he could clearly feel the domineering and bloodthirsty power. It was as if he had suddenly become a god of war. Following that, the scene of Lu Bu using the halberd appeared in his mind again and again, just like in a movie. Lu Bu didn't dare to be negligent, and he started practicing again and again according to the movements in his mind.
By the time he was completely familiar with all the moves, it was already midnight. He didn't expect that he would train for ten to sixteen hours! How could he not feel tired? Then, he thought about how he already had a super strong body. He was about 190 centimeters tall, weighed about 90 kilograms, and his muscles were even more muscular. He really had a wonderful body for martial arts! Lu Bu thought narcissistically.
The next day, Lu Bu woke up at dawn. After a hasty meal, he arrived at the martial arts practice field. After repeating the halberd drawing technique twice, he picked up another spear. Just like the halberd drawing technique, various techniques appeared in his mind again.
Once again, he practiced until midnight. This time, he had mastered the usage of spears, sabers, axes, podaos, longswords, bows, and arrows. Although he wasn't very familiar with it, with his agility and strength, no one dared to underestimate him.
On the morning of the third day, Lu Bu brought 20 personal guards and pegasi to his camp. At this moment, the soldiers were in full swing in their training. Under Gao Shun's command, the five thousand infantry were divided into ten square formations to undergo different training. A few generals were also shuttling back and forth between the formations, reminding the soldiers from time to time to keep their spirits up. Meanwhile, Zhang Liao brought 5,000 cavalrymen to the wilderness to train their formation.
Lu Bu stopped for a moment, looked at Gao Shun's training method, and then entered the main tent. Then, he ordered people to call Gao Shun and the other generals in.
As soon as they entered the tent, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, and Hou Cheng cupped their fists and said,"Greetings, my lord."
"No need for formalities." Lu Bu smiled." Oh right, call me General in the future. I don't want anyone to hear it."”
"Yes, General." The five of them said in unison.
"The purpose of calling you here this time is to arrange the training plan for the soldiers.”
"General, is my training inappropriate?”Gao Shun asked doubtfully.
"No, my idea is that in the future, everyone should divide the training into two parts. The first was physical training, which was to improve the soldiers 'physical strength and make them stronger. The second was to train the army formation and the troops. What I want to change is only the first part of the training. As for the military formation, we'll still train it according to Gao Shun's method.”Lu Bu explained.
"Understood, General." Gao Shun replied.
"Alright, now I'll tell you how to improve your physical fitness.”Lu Bu then explained to them in detail the military training courses and the requirements of the triathlon in his previous life.
When he finished speaking, the five of them were shocked for a long time. "General, I'm afraid the soldiers can't take this kind of training, right?" Hou Chengcai asked.”
"I definitely can't take it when I first come up, but I'll be fine in a few months. Besides, you have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. When they are too tired, they can relax and find two strong men to wrestle with. They can even let the soldiers sing. However, no one could slack off. Yes, and you generals also need to train and take the lead. Do you understand?" Lu Bu asked.
"Understood, General."
"Alright, don't frown. Only by leading by example can the soldiers obey orders and serve you with their lives! Besides, the more you sweat during normal times, the less you bleed during wartime. Do you know?" Lu Bu could see their unwillingness and tried to help them.
"Yes, General."
Looking at their expressions, he knew that only Gao Shun and Zang Ba understood the benefits of physical training. The other three were still confused. However, as long as the two of them were clear about Lu Bu, he had already achieved his goal.
"From tomorrow onwards, for three consecutive days, train according to my method for eight hours every day. Three days later, you will have a triathlon competition. Find the first 500 soldiers and let Xuan Gao build a camp. I will personally train them. Gao Shun, the rest of the warriors will be trained by you. In the morning, you will train the battle formation, then rest for an hour. In the afternoon, you will train your physical strength. After dinner, leave an hour for wrestling, singing, or some acrobatics classes to perform. However, no kabuki performances were allowed. Xuan Gao, you too."
"I understand." The two replied.
"Hao Meng, the three of you will continue to assist General Gao in his training, understand?”Lu Bu said to the other three.
"Yes, General."
"Alright, you guys go down and discuss the specific training plan. After Wen Yuan returned, he called him in. All of you may leave."
"Yes, General." After the five of them answered, they left in turn.
For the past few days, Lu Bu had been busy practicing his martial arts. Even the training plan he had just come up with had been thought of overnight. At this moment, he finally had time. He had to think about how he wanted to develop in the future.
Now, Emperor Xian had just ascended the throne, and the government was monopolized by Dong Zhuo. Right, didn't the jade seal fall into a well in the palace? He could find it and offer it to Dong Zhuo. Right now, all of his military power was in the hands of Li Cui, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou. If he gave the jade seal to Dong Zhuo and gained his trust, he might even get some military power.
If he killed Ding Yuan (he didn't have much affection for this godfather, after all, he had never interacted with him), the position of Jingzhou Provincial Governor would be vacant. Although he had no interest in this battleground, he could do Liu Biao a favor and tell him inside information in advance. Hehe, Jingzhou had a lot of grain! As for the generals and military strategists, he had to get Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Chen Gong. He had to go to the east of the country in half a month's time. Oh right, Yingchuan should go there too. There are many great sages there. After he moved westward to Chang 'an, it would be too easy for him to seize power with so many talents under him. Among all the vassals, only Cao Cao was capable. He had to kill him three months later. Without him, the Central Plains would be in chaos. The more chaotic it was, the more opportunities he would have…
After thinking about his own development, he began to look forward to the beauties of the Three Kingdoms. Diao Chan, in Luoyang, I will take you into my residence. Cai Yan, after the war against Dong, the Xiongnu will take you away. I also want to take your heart as soon as possible. Zhen Mi wasn't young anymore, so it was better to move the Zhen family to Chang 'an first. Big Qiao and Little Qiao were still young, so they could wait. By the way, there's still Ma Wenyuan in Western Liang. If I marry her, Ma Chao and Pang De will be on my side, and the Western Liang cavalry will be mine. There were still many beauties in the palace, including a few princesses and Concubine Tang. Fu Shou had not married Emperor Xian yet. However, she was still young. After all, Emperor Xian was only nine years old.
"Greetings, General. I wonder why the general called me?”Zhang Liao's words interrupted Lu Bu's fantasies.
"What? Oh, I called you here to talk about cavalry training. Now, how many of the cavalrymen were cavalry archers?”Lu Bu said as he came back to his senses.
"General, archer cavalry training is difficult. There are only 1,000 of them, and the rest are light cavalry equipped with long spears.”Zhang Liao replied respectfully, but a trace of doubt rose in his heart. Did the general not even understand his own army?
After hearing the answer, Lu Bu pondered for a while and said,""There are too few light cavalrymen and they don't have much power. Wen Yuan, go and collect bows and arrows as soon as possible in the next two days and train these five thousand people into cavalry archers. I know this is difficult. However, the power of five thousand archers was terrifying. He could train the four new students with one old student. He would only train archery in the first month and practice riding archery in the next two months. I don't expect each of them to be able to shoot arrows at the enemy, but at the very least, they can shoot arrows at the enemy while galloping. As for the armor, they were all made of leather to reduce the burden.”
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Liao became more and more surprised. If he really mastered it, he would have speed, mobility, attack power, and be able to fight and escape. Zhang Liao, who was familiar with the art of cavalry and was born in the north, realized that this was clearly the fighting style of the Xiongnu cavalry, but it was indeed very powerful. At this moment, the trace of doubt in his heart had long been replaced by admiration. " General," he sighed." Cavalry archers are indeed powerful, but I'm afraid it'll be difficult to master them in three months."”
Of course, Lu Bu knew that it would take him at least three or two years to master the might of the Xiongnu cavalry, but time did not allow it. So he said,"Wen Yuan, I think you already know that I want to train the Xiongnu cavalry." I don't want their combat power, I just want their mobility and their arrows. Do you understand?
The reason why they didn't transfer archers from the infantry was because of the horsemanship of these five thousand cavalrymen.”
"I understand." Zhang Liao said respectfully.
"Oh right, someone, bring me a pen.”Lu Bu suddenly thought of something.
After a while, the brush and ink were brought in, along with a few bamboo slips.
Only then did Lu Bu remember that it was quite troublesome to make paper. He stopped thinking about it. He picked up the pen and started drawing on the table. Zhang Liao went over to take a look. It was something that looked like a sword but wasn't a sword, and Lu Bu was writing some data beside it.
After a while, Lu Bu raised his head and said to Zhang Liao,""Take this drawing to the blacksmith workshop and order them to forge 5,000 as soon as possible. Forget it, just make another 1,000 as backup. After it was done, it was distributed. This was a melee weapon. When I come back, I'll teach you generals how to use it, and you can continue to teach it.”
"Yes, General." Although he didn't know what it was, Zhang Liao still did as he was told. In fact, what Lu Bu drew was a long knife commonly used by cavalry in the future. It was similar to the Japanese katana and was very good for chopping while flying.
After giving his orders, Lu Bu led his twenty personal guards and flew towards Luoyang. The distance of fifty miles was covered in less than an hour.
After entering the city, Lu Bu slowed down and allowed the red rabbit to slowly move forward while he looked at the street scenery on both sides.
In the blink of an eye, it was dinner time. A guard beside him rode his horse forward and asked softly,""General, do you want to go back? It's time for dinner.”
Lu Bu only noticed that there were fewer people on the street.
Thinking about it, Lu Bu realized that Cai Yong had been promoted three times in a row this month. His daughter Wenji had also returned from the Wei family to the Cai family. She could take the opportunity to propose marriage while wishing him a promotion. However, the history books in her previous life said that she had a deep relationship with Wei Zhongdao. Would she have a chance?
After hesitating for a moment, he thought about how Lu Bu was no longer the same person as before. How could he not be able to handle a little widow? Gritting his teeth, Lu Bu said,"Lead the way to Cai Yong's residence."”
"Yes, General." The guard urged his horse forward.
The guard who led the way arrived at the gates of the Cai Residence. Before he could even dismount, the servant boy at the gate rushed in to report. After all, Lu Bu was Prime Minister Dong's adopted son and had a noble status. After a while, Cai Yong rushed out and said,""I didn't know that the general had come and didn't welcome me. I hope you can forgive me.”
Lu Bu took two steps forward and arrived in front of Cai Yong. He bowed slightly and said,""Lord Shi Zhong is too polite. I have been rude to come here today. A few days ago, you were appointed as an official. However, I was not feeling well and did not congratulate you. Today, I specially came to make up for it. I have disturbed you.”
Cai Yong saw that the 20 people did not bring any gifts and thought to himself," Was he here to congratulate him? It didn't seem like he had something to ask of him. The son of the Prime Minister would ask him for something. What a joke. Could it be that he was looking for trouble? That couldn't be right either. He was clearly smiling mischievously. No matter how hard he racked his brain, he would never guess that Lu Bu was here to flirt with his daughter. However, he knew that now wasn't the time to guess their intentions. Although he was forced to join Dong Zhuo's camp, he didn't want to get too close to them. Of course, he couldn't offend them. Therefore, he immediately said humbly,"No, no, General, you're giving me face by coming." Today, I must drink to my heart's content with the general.”With that, he pulled Lu Bu's hand and walked into the manor.
After arriving at the back hall of the Inner Residence, the two of them sat down. Lu Bu smiled. It seemed that this old man didn't want anyone to know why he had come here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to such a safe place. He didn't really want to rely on Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, he would definitely be seen chatting and laughing with him. Even if someone with ill intentions found out, he could explain himself.
The two of them drank happily. Seeing that Cai Yong was already slightly drunk, Lu Bu sat up straight and said to Cai Yong,""Lord Cai, I have come here today to ask for your permission.”
When Cai Yong heard this, he thought to himself,'He has something to ask of me. This is strange.' He waved his hand at the dancing girl and asked curiously,""General, what can I do for you?”
"I heard that you have a daughter named Cai Yan who is currently widowed in your residence.”
What was that? When Cai Yong heard this, his brain immediately crashed. Good, now you have designs on my daughter. Just as he was about to get angry, he remembered that the other party was the Prime Minister's foster son. He was in a difficult position.
