Chapter 17 Lu Bu's Origin

Empress Dowager He brought the young emperor Liu Bian and King Liu Xie of Chenliu to the palace and inspected the palace, but the jade seal was missing. In addition, after a day and night of turmoil, the mother and son met and cried bitterly, so naturally they could not go up to court immediately. So Empress Dowager He announced that he would come to the court tomorrow to discuss matters.

Because the soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding the palace gate were mostly recruited by the Ten Eunuchs, they had been killed completely by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the defense of the palace is now empty. In order to protect the safety of the Empress Dowager, the Shao Emperor and King Chenliu, Lu Bu transferred the left and right Yulin troops led by Huang Zhong to guard the palace.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others seemed to have no idea about He Jin. He Miao's troops were incorporated by Lu Bu and they also killed their cousins ​​Yuan Yin, Liu Biao, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang. They didn't know that their troops had been incorporated by Lu Bu. Most of the ministers followed Yuan Shao and walked towards the Yuan Mansion. They probably thought that they were the center and could control the appointment of the court. In their eyes, the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor were already puppets. The core figures of the future court were Yuan Shao, who came from a family of four generations and three dukes.

Lv Bu stood outside the palace gate, looking coldly at the backs of these people leaving, his heart was filled with murderous intent. It was these people who made this era miserable and the people were living in vain. Cao Cao had the face to write, "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away. One of the people's leftovers, and the thoughts are broken." He was still massacred in Xuzhou. These high-ranking rulers never really bent down to see the lower class people who were ruled, enslaved, and ravaged by them. I don't know what went wrong in this country, and all the people who ruled it were all beasts that harmed the people, hurt the people, and did not love the people.

If these people are not dead, the world will be difficult to be peaceful. But if they kill them, Luoyang will be in chaos first, and he can't resist Dong Zhuo and the subsequent Kanto family armed forces. He had to wait for each to defeat them in the future and kill them slowly.

Just as Lu Bu bid farewell to Huang Zhong, who was defending the palace city, was about to lead the Bingzhou cavalry back to Xiaopingjin, a small palace maid ran out of the palace gate and handed a piece of ochre and yellow silk to Lu Bu: "The Empress Dowager's secret order will order you to serve as the captain of the Xiyuan Military Academy, to control the Eighth Army of Xiyuan, and let you quickly recruit the Xiyuan Army."

It turned out that when Empress Dowager He returned to the palace, she remembered what Lu Bu said, especially when Yuan Shao colluded with Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the eldest son and establish the young man. The more she thought about it, the more she became more and more afraid. When she thought about the situation in the Xiyuan Army that Lu Bu mentioned, she became thoughtful.

She could see that Lu Bu had ambitions, but the civil and military officials in this world had the ambition to not be promoted. Even those Guan Ning who retired to teach disciples at home also had ambitions of reputation and talented people all over the world. The key is whether Lu Bu could be controlled by her.

Empress Dowager He investigated Lu Bu's experience and found that he was a loyal and kind person. Unfortunately, his family fell into decline. Since she was born in a poor family and a military general, in this era when scholars and literati dominated everything, Lu Bu was like a rootless duckweed, relying on herself, and she could give him power and take it back. When she thought about it this way, she felt at ease.

Empress Dowager He lived in the Upper House for many years, but knew everything about the government and the country. This was due to the fact that the Ten Constables shared the intelligence organization with her. Due to the boycott of the aristocratic families, the "Embroidered Envoy" (similar to the Jinyiwei) that started from Emperor Wu of Han has been completely banned since the Eastern Han Dynasty. The posts of the Sili School of the Jinyiwei, similar to later, were mostly held by the ministers of the aristocratic families. The emperor did not have the ability to monitor the princes and ministers in the court and the country. With the acquiesce of Emperor Ling of Han, the Ten Constables established a secret spy organization called Kufeng, secretly trained thousands of spies, distributed to various places to spy on the secrets of officials, and hundreds of those who stayed in Luoyang to spy on the secrets of ministers.

The eunuchs of the Ten Eternal Eunuchs were simply pawns of Emperor Ling of Han against the ministers of the aristocratic families of the foreign dynasty. They had no military strength and the emperor could take away anything they could give them. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Ling of Han died, they became a betrayal dog. They almost did not resist decently and were slaughtered by Yuan Shao and others. However, the carefully constructed spy organization was hidden in the dark to serve the royal family, so they had not yet been noticed by Yuan Shao and others.

Empress Dowager He did not pay attention to those royal spies at first. It was not until Lu Bu reminded her that Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao would be detrimental to her that she thought of launching the royal spies organization to serve her, and soon presented the details of Lu Bu to the Queen Mother:

Lu Bu's grandfather was Lu Hao, a commander of Yue cavalry under the command of Emperor Zhang of Han, under the command of the general Dou Xian. He followed Dou Xian to defeat the Northern Xiongnu in Jinwei Mountain. The Northern Xiongnu Shanyu fled far away to the west of the desert and disappeared. Lu Hao led his troops to station in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, and built cities and forts in the local area, cleared land and farming, and defended the border. After Dou Xian was forced to commit suicide, Lu Hao was demoted to the Jiuyuan County Magistrate. After Lu Hao's death, his son Lu Liang succeeded him.

During the Xiping period of Emperor Ling, Tan Shihuai unified the Xianbei tribes and established a military alliance of the east, middle and west tribes in the vast area north of the Great Wall. The Han army was unable to resist. In the fifth year of Emperor Ling's Xiping (176), the court allowed border residents to move southward. Lu Bu with his father Lu Liangnan to Bingzhou and surrendered to Dingyuan's tribe.

After Lu Liang's death, Lu Bu led his father's army and followed Ding Yuan to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves. He fought against the Xianbei rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu, and made great contributions to killing generals and seizing flags. Ding Yuan was afraid that Lu Bu would deviate from him because of his excessive contributions. He mostly did not tell the court about Lu Bu's contributions, and only appointed Lu Bu as the chief clerk, and his position was even under Zhang Yang, Gao Shun and others. Although Lu Bu did not speak, he felt very uneasy, and most of the soldiers in Bingzhou were also dissatisfied with Lu Bu.

When Empress Dowager He saw this, she felt secretly proud. Since Lu Bu was given talent from Ding Yuan, she promoted Lu Bu. Lu Bu would definitely be grateful to this Empress Dowager and would never be loyal to his cheap adoptive father Ding Yuan again.

What made Queen Mother He feel very interesting is the childhood legend of Lu Bu in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County.

Lu Bu's father, Lu Liang, married Huang, who was from Buhongwan, Wuyuan County. He was the daughter of a wealthy man. Huang was smart and virtuous, well-educated, and good at dyeing and weaving. Later, he became the head of the dyeing and weaving workshop.

Huang had four daughters, but she had no children. One day, she followed her husband to the White Horse Temple to worship Buddha and pray for children. On the night of her return, Huang had a dream. She dreamed that a tiger rushed over. Seeing this, Huang called her husband to beat her, but the tiger lies beside her. Soon, Huang felt pregnant and had not given birth to her 12 months pregnant, and she felt anxious. Later, Huang moved to the dyeing and weaving workshop, and suddenly there was a loud noise outside the house. Everyone went out to look at it, but they saw a rainbow in the northwest, dazzling.

The scene is strange. Then Wuyuan Mountain collapsed and the earth shook. Huang suddenly felt uncomfortable, and the pain in his abdomen was unbearable, his pelvis was stuffy, his amniotic fluid overflowed, and he couldn't move in an instant. He lay on the cloth and soon a baby boy was born. It was even more strange for a baby boy to be born, but he saw that his umbilical cord broke and his eyes were full of spirits. He stood in front of him, and Huang was surprised and quickly wiped away the dirt and hugged it in his arms. Later, he said to his husband, and Lu Liang was very happy: "My son is a god." Because he was born on the cloth, he named Lu Bu.

Lu Bu learned martial arts from his father since he was a child, and learned literature and painting with his mother. He was smart and studious, and he could pass it at a glance and never forget it. Lu Bu was aggressive by nature, more powerful than others, and liked to dance with guns and sticks. His height and weight were beyond ordinary people. Boys of the same age dared not play with him, so he looked away from him, but was gentle and considerate with the girl, completely like two people.

Since he was five years old, Lu Bu often took out horses with the Wrangler in the wild and loved horses. He was so excited when he saw the horse. He rode on the horse and danced with his hands, holding a wooden stick and resembled a warrior. At that time, he could stab the pheasant and hare with a stick.

At the age of seven, he rode alone to chase the wild fox mountain deer, and returned empty-handed. He often picked up the foal several times heavier than him to play, sometimes lifting it over his head.

When he was nine years old, he followed his parents to Buhongwan to pay homage to his grandfather. His grandfather killed a sheep and was unable to catch the sheep in the flock. However, he went up to capture two alive. The viewer was amazed by this. When his grandfather saw this, he immediately gave him a good horse. From then on, Lu Bu and the horse were accompanied by carefully cooking, and loved horses as fools, and never left his hips.

At the age of eleven, the border people of the Hun and Han tribes held a large celebration in the White Horse Temple. Lu Bu went with his father to participate. In the horse racing competition, his riding skills were super-human, his horse was as fast as an arrow, and his majestic posture was displayed, and he won the honor of rider in one fell swoop. The fighting Lu Bu saw that the wrestlers won many battles and had no opponents. He was dissatisfied and rushed into the arena alone and shouted loudly: "I'll try it!" The winner of the wrestling was a boy, so he didn't take him seriously at all. In an instant, the two twisted together. After several rounds of competition, Lu Bu actually threw the strongman wrestler who was several times tall and weight to the ground, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire arena. People called him a prodigy.

Queen Mother He covered her mouth and laughed: "What a cute person."

When he saw Lu Bu's military achievements hidden by Ding Yuan, Empress Dowager He couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What a Ding Yuan, who for his own selfishness, actually concealed the talent. If it weren't for the coincidence that Lu Bu saved our mother and son, the court would have almost missed a great talent." Although Lu Bu was brave and had little strategy in the past, he relied on his infinite magical power and superb martial arts to lead the soldiers of Bingzhou to repeatedly defeat the Yellow Turban thieves and repel the frequent invasions of the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei. He followed Ding Yuan at the age of sixteen, and died under the painting halberd of Fangtian in ten years.

Empress Dowager He recorded all these achievements and prepared to tell them together with the achievements of saving the Lord.

She could have a premonition that in the court tomorrow, no one would dare to object to Lu Zhi as the governor of Jizhou, but the promotion of Lu Bu as the governor of Bingzhou and the general of the Northern Expedition was probably the ministers of most aristocratic families would object. Then they would tell all the credits to see where they could arrange them.

The incident of Lu Bu being struck by lightning for three days was actually detected by those royal secret agents. He was reported to Queen Mother He. Queen Mother He sighed: "I can wake up safely by being struck by lightning. Could it be that he is really like the legend of childhood. He is the reincarnation of a tiger. Wu Qu star descended to earth and was protected by the Emperor of Heaven. He is lucky enough to bring good luck to Bianer and let Bianer revive the Han Dynasty?"

After reading the details of Lu Bu, Empress Dowager He became more and more determined to reuse Lu Bu and rely on Lu Bu.

In addition, there was still a trace of ingenuity in her heart. When she saw Lu Bu's eyes, she was not angry at all, but she felt a little happy.

Although she is a new widow, Emperor Ling of Han has been favoring Wang Meiren in recent years and has not touched her much for many years. Although she is the queen mother, she is also a mature woman who is just 30 years old and the daughter of a butcher. She has good nutrition since childhood, and her ** in that aspect is more prosperous than normal women.

Empress Dowager He usually meets some old, ugly but hypocritical ministers. Even the one who praises Yuan Shao, who is outstanding in appearance, does not take it seriously. As far as she knows, those who praise Yuan Shao with a long beard are all men, and women's aesthetic views are different from men's aesthetic views since ancient times.

Lu Bu has always had a habit of not liking to grow beards, and he shaved it with a knife when he grows up, so he looks much younger than his real age. But he didn't expect that because he didn't grow beards, he was very different from those princes and ministers with beautiful beards, which aroused the special interest of Empress Dowager He.

Lu Bu's unscrupulous invading eyes made Empress Dowager He feel particularly moved. Empress Dowager He felt that it had been many years since no man regarded her as a woman.

After receiving the secret edict from Empress Dowager He, Lu Bu was overjoyed and hurriedly led the Bingzhou cavalry back to the Xiaopingjin camp, leaving Wei Xu to command 2,000 people to guard the property to defend the camp. However, he himself ordered the remaining 6,000 elite cavalry and went to join the fifth battalion of the Northern Army led by Gao Shun and He Miao's troops, and then rushed to the garrison of the Eighth Army in Xiyuan.

The reason why Lu Bu ordered so many people was mainly to beware of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's troops. Originally, the Eighth Army of Xiyuan was Yuan Shao's forbidden body. Lu Bu came to get involved. I wonder what Yuan Shao would react, so I brought more troops just in case.
