Just as Lu Peng was done with the army and was organizing the people to spring plowing, Luoyang in the north, the center of the Han Dynasty, began a series of earth-shattering changes.
First, the Emperor had passed away. General He Jin had fought with eunuch Jian Shuo to support the Young Emperor. After Yuan Shao and the others persuaded him, He Jin decided to take action against the famous Shi Chang Shi and cut off the eunuch group.
However, the final result was that the Ten Attendants of the Eternal Court made the first move and tricked He Jin into entering the palace to kill him. Yuan Shao and the others then led their troops into the Imperial Palace to take revenge. The entire Luoyang was in chaos, and the little Emperor was taken away by the eunuchs and fled the city. He was in a sorry state.
In this chaos, many court officials died. Among them, Xia Wan, who had once been incomparably arrogant in front of Lu Peng, died under the blades of Yuan Shao and the others.
In the end, the Xiliang warlord Dong Zhuo, who was the governor of Bingzhou, entered Luoyang and took control of the government.
After taking over the army left behind by He Jin, annexing Ding Yuan, and obtaining a peerless general like Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's strength was frightening, and all the officials were terrified.
The sun was setting in the west. At the edge of Luoyang, an official in his thirties looked at the horizon with his hands behind his back. His expression was solemn.
"He actually predicted the current situation. This person's foresight is truly shocking.”
This person was Xun You and Xun Gongda. Looking at the current state of affairs, he recalled what Lu Peng had said a few months ago and could not help but sigh.
"I'm confident in my wisdom, but I'm too far from this person!”
Right at this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Several horses galloped over, and the leader shouted,"Gongda, follow me!"
Xun You raised his head and saw that this person was none other than Yuan Benchu, the Fourth Duke and Third Duke. He couldn't help but ask in puzzlement,""Where is Benchu Gong going?"
"Dong Zhuo has no respect for the ruler and is acting without authorization. He is a traitor to the country! I want to go out of Hangu Pass to attack them. You are a talented person in the world. Why don't you come with me?”Yuan Shao said in a clear voice. The heroic aura around him made Xu You and the others behind him nod in approval.
"You still have some matters to attend to, so I'm afraid you can't accompany me.”Xun You cupped his hands and bowed.
Yuan Shao was a hero, but Xun You was thinking about the county magistrate.
Curiosity, doubt, admiration, all these emotions made him want to see County Magistrate Lu again and ask him for advice.
Unfortunately, they were far apart…
Yuan Shao didn't say much, fearing that Dong Zhuo would catch up, he cupped his hands and galloped out.
" The world will be troubled from now on…" Xun You sighed and shook his head.
……
When the news of Dong Zhuo entering the capital reached Yangquan, the spring plowing had already ended and Lu Peng was training his soldiers.
Xie Qi's leadership ability was not as good as his own. After he was done with farming, he would come and practice when he had nothing to do.
One had to know that Lu Peng was also someone who had gone through proper military training. When he stood up in a military posture, the soldiers all complained endlessly. As for the goose-step and the square formation, he had to practice them slowly.
After a few days, the effect of the training could be seen. After more than ten days, the entire army's aura and formation were completely different.
Raising one's head, chest, and head to look straight at him was the best way to show a man's imposing manner.
Xie Qi was filled with admiration. Truly, a god was omnipotent.
When Dong Zhuo's message arrived, Lu Peng was standing in front of the soldiers with a ball in his arms.
"Dong Zhongying has entered the capital?" Lu Peng listened to Jiang Yan's report and pondered for a moment. He nodded and said,"Got it. Go."
Jiang Yan bowed in admiration. As expected of Langjun. When he heard the news, he was so scared that he almost fell to the ground!
The emperor had just passed away, and his son was already crippled. This Great Han Dynasty…
Of course, Lu Peng would not be moved by what he had already known. He smiled and said to the soldiers,"Do you know what this is?"
The soldiers looked at the ball in his hand and discussed. Xie Qi said hesitantly,"But the ball?"
"Not bad! But this is called football!" Lu Peng nodded in satisfaction.
He had asked the craftsman to make this ball many times, and it was barely close to a football.
The sport of football had existed since ancient times. Cuju was played during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was used to train the army in the Han Dynasty, so Xie Qi could guess it.
However, modern football was very different from this ancient game. The degree of excitement and competitiveness was much higher.
Lu Peng ordered Xie Qi to pick ten people, and his deputy Yue Zheng to pick ten people. They set up the goal on the field, drew the boundary, and explained the rules. He was the referee, and the football match officially began.
The rules were simple and easy to understand. The game gradually became more intense. What made Lu Peng a little speechless was that Xie Qi and Le Zheng, these two bastards, actually took the initiative to pounce on the ball and snatch it with their hands. They even started fighting.
"What the hell? Get down here!" Lu Peng directly drank the two of them and scolded them.
Ten versus ten on the field. Although their techniques were all terrible, it was quite exciting. In the end, Le Zheng won with a score of 14 to 8.
Yue Zheng laughed out loud. Xie Qi glared at the ten defeated soldiers with a black face and said indignantly,"Langjun, come again tomorrow!"
