Although he was chatting happily with Chen Gong, Lu Bu did not bring him along.
He had Chen Gong follow Zang Ba's team to the east, passing through Ju Ping and Wang Tai. There were only two objectives. One was to get Chen Gong to go to Ju Ping and subdue Yu Jin. With Chen Gong's methods, this was a very simple matter. The second was to subdue the huge Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. With Zang Ba's familiarity with guerrilla warfare, Chen Gong's proficiency in strategy and tactics, and Yu Jin's superb training methods, he had no choice but to give up. Lu Bu was completely at ease with Chen Gong. He believed that he would soon be able to train 100,000 invincible soldiers for him.
Of course, during his secret conversation with Chen Gong that night, Lu Bu had naturally taught him many of the capable and righteous people of Qingzhou. The one ranked first was Taishi Ci.
In Qingzhou, Lu Bu had deliberately not placed a general who could really fight, all for the sake of Taishi Ci. Thus, Lu Bu had done his homework.
After a long time of handing over the military and civil affairs, he brought a dozen guards and headed south to Wangying Chuan.
He was not exaggerating on purpose. Anyway, the various princes had not officially raised the banner of anti-Dong, so they did not dare to do anything to him. Besides, in his current state, he really didn't care about an army of less than a thousand people.
Yingchuan was close to Xuchang, surrounded by mountains and flowing Yingshui. It was a beautiful place. The land spirit was a talent, thus Ying Chuan was also a place that produced great talents.
He was determined to get Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia. However, history had played a big joke on him. It could be said that he had only been thinking about military matters during this period of time. In the end, he had made a wasted trip.
Lu Bu came to the famous Yingchuan Academy in casual clothes. He thought that he would be able to see some exciting debate scene. Who knew that other than a dozen rich playboys who had nothing to do, there was only a group of children who were still reciting the "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye".
Disappointed, he pulled over a nearby noble and asked him. It turned out that Xun You was still imprisoned by Dong Zhuo, while his uncle Xun Yu had already brought most of his clansmen to Jizhou, intending to seek refuge with Yuan Shao. As for Guo Jia, no one knew his whereabouts.
Only then did Lu Bu recall that before the 18 dukes rebelled against Dong, these geniuses had not had their fortunes turn for the better. He should be the unlucky one. Guo Jia probably went sightseeing somewhere.
Lu Bu didn't regret his futile attempt. There was nothing perfect in this world, and he already had Jia Xu and Chen Gong, so it was more than enough for the first stage. At most, he could just invite Cheng Yu to support him. When Zhuge Liang grew up and Pang Tong was included, they would all be in his pocket. Hehe, Guo Jia, that short-lived ghost, would be nothing.
After comforting himself, he stopped thinking about these annoying things. He happily played here for a few days and did not meet any famous people.
Lu Bu didn't dare to delay and immediately led his guards to Chen Liu. He didn't blame the two teams who didn't complete the mission. After all, it was his own mistake.
When he arrived at Chen Liu, he heard from his subordinate that Dian Wei had not escaped because of the murder. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The heavens were still looking out for him.
He didn't take the initiative to look for Dian Wei. Instead, he went straight to Zhang Miao's prefect's manor.
After some pleasantries, they naturally talked about Grand Preceptor Dong's actions in Luoyang. Zhang Miao immediately expressed his support for the Grand Preceptor's leadership. Lu Bu naturally complimented Zhang Miao's achievements for a long time. In the end, he gave him many empty promises, the most important of which was the position of Yanzhou governor.
At this moment, Zhang Miao was so moved that he burst into tears. He treated Lu Bu as if he was his second parent. Hearing that he was asking for a lieutenant named Dian Wei, he immediately dragged Lu Bu to the camp near the city gate.
Sitting down next to the commander's desk in the main tent, Lu Bu looked at the burly man standing in front of him. He was indeed quite ugly. He was actually taller than him and had a big and round waist. He was simply a replica of O'Neill.
After accepting his military certificate, Lu Bu couldn't help but want to fight this guy with the nickname 'Er' Lai.' Ever since he came to this world and fused Taiji with his own halberd technique, he had never really fought with anyone. Firstly, no one had fought with him. Secondly, he did not believe in his own martial arts. After all, he was not the real Lu Bu.
Standing in the middle of the arena, he raised his halberd diagonally and looked at Dian Wei, who was holding a pair of short halberds, a dozen steps away. Lu Bu couldn't help but feel nervous. This was his first battle, and his opponent was the second strongest person in the three kingdoms. He had deliberately given up on his horse battle and chosen Dian Wei's infantry battle.
Not for anything else, but because his unparalleled Red Rabbit Horse was so strong that riding it in battle was equivalent to playing a game. Just think about Yan Liang and Wen Chou, their martial strength was not much weaker than Guan Yu, otherwise, there would not be a white horse siege. It was because of Red Hare and Wind Chasing Horse's speed and super strong impact that the two of them died in such a cowardly manner.
Dian Wei was also looking at Lu Bu from afar. In comparison, he was even more nervous. Although he had never heard of Lu Bu, the battle of Tiger Cage Pass was still a few months away, and the saying " Lu Bu among men, a red rabbit among horses " had yet to spread throughout the world. However, looking at his calm and composed expression, and then looking at the murderous halberd blade. He knew that this person was not easy to deal with.
At this moment, he had already forgotten that the person opposite him was his future lord. In his opinion, on the battlefield, other than enemies, there were only comrades.
Since he was weaker than his opponent in terms of aura, he could only attack first. With a loud shout, he held one halberd in front of his chest and hid the other behind his back as he charged at Lu Bu.
Seeing that Dian Wei had been forced by him to attack first, Lu Bu smiled happily. When he was about to reach his side, the halberd that was raised up high suddenly struck down with the force of a thunderbolt, fiercely smashing towards Dian Wei's frighteningly ugly head.
Dian Wei raised the iron halberd in front of his chest to block, then squeezed into the inner circle. The killer move hidden behind him also stabbed at Lu Bu's abdomen from an unexpected angle.
One inch longer, one inch stronger. Facing the three-meter-long halberd, he had to get close to Lu Bu in order to unleash the full power of his halberds.
Lu Bu smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed that he would make this move. He suddenly flew backwards, and the crescent blade on his halberd slanted and hung on Dian Wei's iron halberd. If he used more force, Dian Wei would not be able to break free unless he let go of his right hand. If that was the case, Dian Wei could only admit defeat. If he threw away his weapon in a single exchange, what was the point of fighting?
Lu Bu's speed was naturally incomparable to Dian Wei's. At this moment, he was being carried forward by Lu Bu, and the attack from the halberd in his left hand was immediately neutralized.
Lu Bu took a dozen steps back. Seeing that Dian Wei's footsteps were in a mess, he immediately took a step to the right and shook his halberd lightly. The two halberds miraculously separated. He stood still and spun the halberd in the air. Dian Wei just happened to run to his side.
Dian Wei, who had already lost his footing, still did not give up and slashed his left halberd at Lu Bu's waist. He wanted to save some face, but he was stopped by Lu Bu's halberd. At the same time, one of his feet reached into Dian Wei's lower body.
Dian Wei, who was about to attack with his right halberd, didn't even have time to pay attention to his feet before he fell down miserably and his halberds flew far away.
Dian Wei hammered the dusty ground in frustration before jumping up from the ground. He glared at the soldiers who were laughing around him before cupping his fists at Lu Bu and saying,""General's speed and skills are indeed amazing. Dian Wei is convinced of his loss.”
On the surface, he was admitting defeat, but in reality, he was saying that Lu Bu did not dare to fight him. Lu Bu didn't argue, only smiling as he picked up his halberds and walked towards Zhang Miao. He didn't want Zhang Miao to realize how powerful Dian Wei was. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun if Zhang Miao regretted it. After all, this was their territory.
Lu Bu brought Dian Wei along to attend the welcoming banquet that Zhang Miao had prepared for him. Ignoring the latter's enthusiasm to stay, Lu Bu decided to take his leave.
It suddenly occurred to him that Cheng Yu of East County was not obediently waiting at home for him to invite him. He had already gone to the ravine on the outskirts of Yanzhou City to study in order to avoid the chaos of war.
He sent a guard to East County to find his subordinates. He took Dian Wei and rode towards Yanzhou. Although it was hard, he was extremely excited to have Dian Wei as his little brother, and his fatigue disappeared without a trace.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was the nephew of Marshal Liu Chong, a relative of the Han Dynasty and the brother of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. He naturally didn't need to curry favor with Lu Bu like Zhang Miao, and Lu Bu naturally wouldn't ask him for help.
In fact, he did not enter the city at all. He only stayed in the relay station in the suburbs and sent out more than ten subordinates to search for Cheng Yu's whereabouts.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu was also a noble, and his family was relatively rich. If he hid in the mountains again, he would definitely go to look for his relatives and friends, so it was not difficult to find him.
Lu Bu was much more relaxed. After eating and drinking his fill, he began to practice with Dian Wei. In fact, during the two days of traveling, he had fought with Dian Wei on horseback. Although there was still a gap between him and Dian Wei in terms of strength, he was far superior to him in other aspects. Under his deliberate concession, the two of them fought back and forth, having a great time. Actually, even if he didn't go easy, it wouldn't be easy to beat Dian Wei. Without 500 rounds, he wouldn't have any advantage. The reason why Dian Wei had lost so quickly the last time was mainly because he wasn't familiar with Lu Bu's fighting style, which was why he had lost face. After a few rounds with him, Dian Wei had mastered Lu Bu's style. Although he was not used to Lu Bu's dexterity, he would not suffer any more losses.
Sure enough, in less than two days, the personal guards found Cheng Yu's residence.
It was a small valley. There was a clear spring water in the open space in the valley. It gurgled and formed a clear pool. The mountains and rivers complemented each other, looking extremely beautiful. It was really a paradise.
Standing at the entrance of the valley and looking at the beautiful scenery, Lu Bu's heart was at peace. Perhaps he could find a place like this in the future and live in seclusion with his loved ones.
There was a straw hut near the pool. Although it was simple, it was very exquisite. At this moment, the sound of someone reading came from the hut. After listening carefully, he realized that it was the Book of Songs. This fellow really knew how to enjoy life.
He walked closer to the straw hut and was about to knock on the door when a voice came from inside."A guest from afar, please come in.”
This person was quite interesting. Through the sparse window bars, Lu Bu could easily see Cheng Yu, who was still holding a bamboo scroll. Even though the guests had arrived, he did not stand up to welcome them.
Therefore, he did not stand on ceremony and directly pushed the door open.
Cheng Yu sat on the ground. His upper body was straight, his appearance was clear, and he had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He had a quiet and elegant temperament that made people want to get closer to him.
As for Cheng Yu, when he saw that the person who came in was not someone he was familiar with, he was shocked and could not help but ask,"Who are you?"
"Lu Bu."
Although it was just two simple words, it really gave Cheng Yu a fright. The bamboo slip in his hand fell onto the table immediately. He repeated it mechanically,""Lu Bu?"
