The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

In order to receive Lu Bu, Cao Cao specially brought out the fine grape wine from the Western Regions as tribute, and also took out the precious luminous cup used in the palace.

Lu Bu finally climbed up to the Tongque Pavilion, the largest palace in the world. Cao Cao personally greeted Lu Bu and his party at the gate and took them to visit this magnificent palace. Climbing to the third floor of the Tongque Pavilion, you can overlook the entire city of Luoyang. A grand banquet has been prepared in the reception room on the first floor.

Cao Cao said: "Fengxian, in the past twenty years, we have gone through too many storms together, and finally we have come through safely. The first time we met was in Yingchuan to conquer the Yellow Turban bandits. I was only thirty years old that year, and now He is now fifty-one years old. From that time on, the two of us have cherished each other, understood each other, and made a lot of efforts to achieve peace in the world. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there has been no one like us who has been so persistent. Covenant between each other. Today, I will personally pour you three glasses of wine. The first glass is for the fallen soldiers, the second glass is for our friendship, and the third glass is for peace in the world."

Lu Bu did not expect that Cao Cao, as the actual leader of the Han Dynasty, would personally pour him wine. What an honor it was! The generals who came with Lu Bu were also moved by Cao Cao's words.

Cao Cao said: "Everyone, raise your luminous cups and drink this wine together. For Cao Mengde, today can be said to be the happiest day in my life. Because I know that the faith between me and General Lu Fengxian will always be firm." , our ambition reaches the sky.”

As Cao Cao himself said, he was filled with joy and raised his wine glass happily.

After Lu Bu drank three glasses of wine, his eyes were red. He took out a roster from his arms and presented it to Cao Cao with both hands. "Your Majesty, Your Excellency, this is the list of 353 counties in the 38 counties in the four states of Hebei." Household registration, population, army, taxes, food, salt and iron. Today, Bu will present this list to the King of Wei to show his loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Bu swears today that he will be a Han minister forever in his life. If he violates this oath, he will give birth to a boy. They have been slaves for generations, and their daughters have been prostitutes for generations to come.”

Cao Cao took the roster presented by Lu Bu and gave it to Cao Zhi, telling him to keep it safely. In an era of war between princes, the relationship between Cao Cao and Lu Bu can indeed be called an anomaly. For more than twenty years, they fought in the north and south, and worked together to unify the world. Faith, a term from the Spring and Autumn Period, was the main reason for their alliance to remain unbroken.

Cao Cao said: "The world must think that you and I formed an alliance based on interests. Fengxian, are you right?"

Lu Bu smiled: "Just like when green plums were brewing wine, the only heroes in the world were King Wei and me, so our friendship can always be maintained."

Cao Cao said: "Yes, we persisted in our beliefs and turned the tide in the era of divided heroes to restore stability to the world. If we were not heroes, how could we have persisted until now?"

After three rounds of drinking, the song and dance performance began. The figures of the famous prostitutes in Luoyang were different. The generals under Lu Bu's command were all excited to see it, but Lu Bu remained calm. After all, these Yingying Yanyan were not as good as his wives. .

Lu Bu said to Cao Cao: "The King of Wei is holding a banquet today. Could it be that the fine wine used is the grape wine sent as tribute from the Western Regions?"

Cao Cao nodded: "Fengxian is indeed well-informed."

Lu Bu said: "I occasionally got a good sentence, but today I want to show my shame in front of the King of Wei."

Cao Cao laughed: "I know Fengxian's talent. At the Luoyang Poetry Society back then, you shocked the scholars all over the world."

Lu Bu said the famous line of the ages in a leisurely manner: "The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, you will be urged immediately. Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times."

Both Cao Cao and Cao Zhi carefully read this poem, which expressed their infinite ambition and pride, and also expressed the scenes of their battles on the battlefield for more than 20 years.

Cao Cao couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "Fengxian is really a talented person, and he is extraordinary as soon as he speaks. If you hadn't been appointed as the general, the position of Taifu in this court would have been yours."

Hearing Cao Cao's praise, Lu Bu murmured in his heart: If you give me three days and three nights, I can recite all Tang poems and Song lyrics, then wouldn't I become the greatest poet in the world? When the history books of later generations record me, Isn’t it true that in addition to politicians and military strategists, there is also a poet?

As the banquet progressed, Cao Cao was obviously exhausted. He asked Cao Zhi to continue to receive Lu Bu while he went to the room on the third floor to rest. After all, although the wine was good, don't be greedy.

Cao Zhi excitedly exchanged poems and songs with Lu Bu. He was also very intelligent in this area. After all, many of San Cao's poems were passed down to later generations, especially the Luo Shen Fu. However, in this life, Zhen Mi is already Lu Bu's wife. I am afraid that this masterpiece handed down from generation to generation will not be completed. Even if it can be completed, the author of Luo Shen Fu can only be Lu Fengxian.

Chen Dao and others were already drunk. Cao Zhi arranged for them to go to a room on the second floor to rest, and also asked the dancer and singer to wait on everyone. Lu Bu stated that he wanted to go back to the General's Mansion. After all, his beloved wife and concubines were all there. Wait for yourself.

After leaving Tongque Terrace, Lu Bu went to Zhuque Street to buy some gold and silver jewelry and rouge and gouache. In this era where men are superior to women, it is still necessary to express enough importance to the wives, because Lu Bu is sincere to each of them. .
