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

On this day, the Shenji Battalion captured an enemy general. When he was captured, this man was dressed in the uniform of a white horse righteous follower. He was extremely brave. He killed dozens of people on his own horse. He was captured because of exhaustion.

Seeing his bravery, Xu Shu did not dare to make the decision without permission, so he personally escorted the enemy general to the Governor's Mansion in Youzhou and handed him over to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is handling military affairs. He plans to rearrange and recruit 5,000 Bingzhou veterans, 20,000 Youzhou surrender troops, and 5,000 Youzhou recruits. He is currently lacking a general to lead the army. Currently, the only general under his command who has the ability to lead troops independently is Gao Gao. Among Shun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Rong, Gan Ning lacked experience in land warfare, and he originally planned to put Gan Ning in charge of naval affairs.

As soon as Xu Shu entered the door, he went straight to the point, "Today I will give you a great gift for your lord."

Lu Bu was a little confused, "What kind of gift? Why does Yuan Zhi need to be so polite?"

Xu Shu said to the door, "Escort him in." He saw a big man being escorted in with his hands tied up.

Lu Bu looked at the prisoner and asked, "Who are you?"

The big man replied disdainfully, "I am Taishi Ci of Donglai. If I hadn't been traveling day and night and was exhausted, how could you have captured me."

When Lu Bu heard that it was Taishi Ci, he quickly put down what he was doing and personally untied Taishi Ci. Then he looked at Taishi Ci who looked puzzled, bowed, and said, "Please forgive me for offending General Huwei."

Taishi Ci was also a sensible person. Seeing Lu Bu's behavior, he also returned the salute, "A defeated general does not dare to accept the general's courtesy."

Lu Bu couldn't help but pull Taishi Ci to sit down, then took off his shirt, put it on Taishi Ci, and saluted again, "I've heard about Ziyi's name for a long time, and I'm lucky enough to meet you today. Ziyi is really a hero." also."

Taishi Ci was deeply moved. He had served under Gongsun Zan for three years and had never received such courtesy. He immediately knelt down and said, "Taishi Ci is willing to serve as a soldier for the general in this life."

Lu Bu helped him up and said, "Ziyi should be a general, come with me."

Lu Bu brought Tai Shici to the map and asked him, "I now have 30,000 soldiers in my hands. How can I defend against Wuhuan's march south and attack Shanggu and Yuyang at the same time?"

Taishi Ci thought for a while and said, "Wuhuan usually takes Daodai County when going south. It only needs to send a general to garrison here to stop the Wuhuan army. As for Shanggu County, which has no cultivated land and does not produce food, it only needs to attack Yuyang." County, cut off the connection between the two counties. If Shanggu County has no food, it can destroy itself without attacking."

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, "Ziyi is my Zhou Yafu. Now I appoint you as General of Youzhou and give you 20,000 troops. Do you have the confidence to stop Wuhuan's army from going south?"

Taishi Ci did not expect that just after his surrender, Lu Bu would entrust him with a heavy responsibility. He was so moved that he shed tears, "I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord!"

Arrangements had been made to stop Wuhuan, and Lu Bu called Xu Shu again, "Yuanzhi, I will give you five thousand new troops. Are you sure you can suppress the bandits and rebellions in the counties and manage the people's livelihood in Youzhou?"

Xu Shu replied, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best."

Lu Bu held their hands and said, "I will leave the important military and political affairs of Youzhou to you two. I will personally go and compete with the second son of the Yuan family."

Just when Lu Bu was planning the overall situation, Yuan Xi also came to Yuyang County. As soon as he arrived at the governor's house, he changed all Yan Liang's previous layout. All the soldiers from several camps outside the city were brought into the city and sent grain to Shanggu County. No military escort was sent, but civilians went there.

All this has been discovered by Xu Shu's intelligence camp. After receiving the news, Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "What a fool. Yuan Benchu, the first hero, actually gave birth to such a useless son. God should have allowed me to win Youzhou."

Lu Bu directly led 5,000 Bingzhou troops to seize the grain, and then disguised himself as a civilian to trick him into opening the city gate of Shanggu County. Bingzhou cavalry rushed forward and captured Shanggu County without a single blow. Jiang Qi led 5,000 Jizhou troops to surrender, and Lu Bu personally recruited them. He defeated them and promoted Jiang Qi to his deputy general.

Jiang Qi proposed a plan to pretend to be defeated and escape, deceiving the city gate of Yuyang County, and Lu Bu accepted the proposal.

Two days later, Jiang Qi came to Yuyang City with thousands of "remnant soldiers" and claimed that Lu Bu had led an army to attack Shanggu County. He escaped desperately and asked the second son of the Yuan family to take him in. Yuan Xi was afraid of Lu Bu like a tiger, and saw that Jiang Qi had brought thousands of people, which would be helpful for him to defend the city, so he ordered the city to be opened to welcome Jiang Qi into the city. At the moment when Jiang Qi led his army into the city, dust was flying in the distance. It was Lu Bu who came with the Bingzhou cavalry.

Yuan Xi shouted, "Close the city gate quickly." It was too late. Jiang Qi led his army to seize the city gate and welcome Lu Bu into the city.

Lu Bu looked at Yuan Xi who had become a prisoner, and smiled contemptuously, "Hurry and untie Master Yuan, I will use him to make a deal with Yuan Benchu."

Yuan Xi cursed loudly, "Jiang Qi, you shameless villain, my father treats you badly, why did you help Lu Bu seize the city?"

Jiang Qi went up and gave Yuan Xi a few slaps in the face, "Yuan Shao only reused generals from the Henan line. When did he reuse me? He treated me well, but I turned against him. Only after I joined the Bingzhou Army did I know what true meaning is. soldiers!"

Lu Bu kicked Yuan Xi to bleed, stepped on Yuan Xi's face and said, "Damn eunuch, write a letter to your father and ask him to send Xun Chen to negotiate peace with me, otherwise your life will be at risk."

Yuan Xi repeatedly begged for mercy and wrote letters to his confidants to send to Yecheng.
