Chapter 9 Return to Luoyang

Lu Bu laughed and said, "I am the best in the world in martial arts, and no one can beat me. Since this is the case, we will win and lose. If I win, I will win."

Ding Yuan was angry and was about to speak, when Tong Yuan said, "Chen Dao, you can compete with General Lu on behalf of Zhao Yun."

Chen Dao was overjoyed, got on his horse with a gun and said, "General Lu, I will compete with you on behalf of Senior Brother Zhao."

Ding Yuan knew that Lu Bu was amazing and was about to stop him. Seeing Liu Xie and Tong Yuan smiled, he refused to speak.

Although Chen Dao's gun technique is wonderful, his strength and riding skills are far inferior to Lu Bu. After losing for 60 rounds, he said to Tong Yuan dejectedly: "Weapons are not as good as him. I have hundreds of calcined steel guns in my hand and most of them are damaged!"

Tong Yuan smiled and said, "Skills are not as good as people, why refuse? General Lu is indeed powerful and rare in the world. This horse is available to the general." Then he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, the winner has been decided, so send the horse to General Lu!"

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Xie, and saw that Liu Xie was speechless, so he had to take off his horse and send Yu Zhi to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "I thank Your Highness for your kindness!"

Tong Yuan smiled and said, "General Lu, wait. My disciple Zhao Yun was injured in his muscles and bones when practicing martial arts. He needs to be recuperated for several months. After returning to the capital, he will compete with the general."

Lu Bu said: "That's good. If I lose, I will return the horse!" After saying that, he rode away on a horse. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao looked embarrassed and all retreated.

Zhao Yun said to Tong Yuan: "Master, I will be better than Chen Dao's junior brother and I will have to be a hundred moves afterwards. I am afraid I will not be a match for Lu Bu.

Wang Yue sneered: "If I am good at fighting horses, I will definitely be able to defeat him. Looking at his halberd technique, there are flaws to find."

Tong Yuan asked Liu Xie: "Your Highness, how long will we go back to the capital here?"

Huangfu Kang said: "If you train your wings, the two guards will return if they succeed. You must start spring next year!"

Tong Yuan said: "There is still three months left. Your Highness will find the general who can defeat Lu Bu. I recommend my disciple Zhao Yun. In just three months, Zhao Yun will definitely defeat him."

Zhao Yun knew the master's ability and didn't speak. Liu Xie smiled and said, "It's so great." Everyone then put the matter down and didn't mention it.

With the help of Zhang Chong, a different leader of Bingzhou, Huangfu Kang recruited more than 10,000 brave men from the Northern Township of Bingzhou, recruited more than 4,000 craftsmen of various types, and delivered them to Zhao Yun and Guo Ci. The specific training was arranged by Ding Yuan, and the 4,000 craftsmen were escorted to Luoyang by Zhang Chong, and then Yang Biao and Huangfu Song arranged soldiers to escort to Xiangyang.

Ding Yuan specially arranged the Huyan family of Bingzhou Ma Shang and ordered his family to move to Wancheng among the craftsmen.

Huangfu Kang and Liu Xie returned to Xin and Emperor Ling to prosecute the imperial edict to build iron wings in the name of the court, and the two armies of flying wings were divided into iron guards and guards according to Gao Shun's wishes.

Lu Bu was named the cavalry commander of the Yi Army and the Martial College Captain. He commanded 6,000 Yi Army and personally led the Iron Wing Army to enjoy 600 stones.

Gao Shun was appointed as the Chief of the Guards and the Chief of the Zhongyi School, and was in charge of 6,000 guards. He personally led the Iron Guards and enjoyed 600 stones.

Zhang Liao was named the Fighting Camp Captain, and he commanded 3,000 Feiyi Army and enjoyed 300 stones.

Wang Yue was appointed as the guard guard and commanded 3,000 guards, and enjoyed 300 stones.

Before the edict arrived, Ding Yuan brought Lu Bu, Zhang Liao's generals of Iron Wings and Flying Wings to be fully prepared. Gao Shun led Guo Ci and Wang Xi to rectify the Iron Guards, and Wang Yue took Wang Zhen to train the Guards' swordsmanship.

Seeing that the winter solstice was coming, it was almost November, and the eunuch came. In addition to the eunuch Zhang Rang, there were Jian Shuo and Huangfu Li, who led the army to suppress more than 40 chariots of armored stomach weapons.

Jian Shuo and Liu Xie said: "Doctor Hua has arrived in the capital. As expected, he is very skilled in medicine. He and Prefect Zhang work together to treat the emperor. The emperor's health is much better than before. However, Prefect Zhang has something to tell His Highness that it is difficult to last for two years and should not be delayed."

Liu Xie was sad and silent for a long time without saying anything. Huangfu Kang nodded and said, "Mr. Jian, please report back to Emperor Ling. Your Highness wants to make small achievements here. He will return to the capital at the beginning of next spring. At that time, he will forget that Lord Jian will handle many miscellaneous matters on his behalf."

Jian Shuo said: "The emperor treats me well and should do his best."

After Jian Shuo left, Huangfu Lidao said: "The adoptive father said that the strong men recruited in Bingzhou could be called "Bingzhou without grain to resettle refugees, so he sent troops to Xiangyang to farm and reclamation. The soldiers in the south were not good at fighting. If there were strong soldiers, they had to recruit them from the north. The adoptive father wrote to the court that Jingzhou had a heavy area of ​​food and grass, but the population was sparse. Now the war in the north and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were rampant. The refugees in each state could be placed in Jingzhou. If Jingzhou could not be resettled, Jingzhou could also be transferred to Yang. The two prefectures were evacuated and the treasury was allocated from the treasury to help refugees in Jingzhou. The emperor had agreed. Yang Taiwei and Lu Duke Lu Zigan jointly signed the letter to Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Liu Yu, Youzhou, Gong Jing, the governor of Qingzhou, and many familiar prefects, so that they could send refugees to Jingzhou to reclaim wasteland. Lord Lu had recruited strong men and reclaimed wasteland in Qing, Henan and Hebei through various channels. At present, more than 100,000 Central Plains refugees have gone to Jingzhou to reclaim wasteland."

Liu Xie smiled and said, "It's still the two adults who know the importance of population!"

After Jian Shuo and others left Jinyang, Ding Yuan took advantage of the weather not falling completely. In the eastern part of the Xiongnu and western part of Bingzhou, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were the generals, leading Iron Wing, Feiyi, Iron Guard, Guard and 5,000 elite troops in Bingzhou to encircle and suppress three small tribes.

The entire battle lasted only half a month, subduing one of the small tribes that had less than 10,000 people and expelling two tribes that often harassed Bingzhou.

It was getting colder and it was inconvenient to march. Liu Xie and others spent the winter in Bingzhou. During the beginning of spring in the fifth year of Zhongyuan, Lu Bu and others led their troops back to Beijing with Liu Xie.

General He Jin was panicked when he heard the news. He knew that the Bingzhou wolf cavalry was powerful. The iron wings, flying wings, iron guards and guards based on the Bingzhou wolf cavalry had more than 12,000 people. He was afraid that Liu Xie would use this to compete for the position of prince, so he ordered Lu Bu and other generals to camp a hundred miles away in Luoyang. Later, Yang Biao said that it would only take a day to stay a hundred miles away, so he could be stationed in Yongning. He Jin agreed.

Emperor Ling didn't see Liu Xie for many days, and he was worried about it, so he ordered Jian Shuo to lead his army to wait at the northern gate of Luoyang.

When Liu Xie rushed to the palace, Emperor Ling was overjoyed and hugged him in his arms, saying, "Xi'er has made military achievements at such an age, and I will be rewarded."

Emperor Ling summoned Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun, and each had rewards. He heard Liu Xie mention Zhao Yun several times, and saw that he was handsome and handsome, and loved him very much. He praised him and was specially appointed as the governor of Xiaowu.

Since then, there have been many speculations inside and outside the court that Emperor Ling wanted to make Liu Xie the crown prince, and that Wang Yue saw through the several attempts to harm him.

Because of Liu Xie's assassination several times, Emperor Ling emphasized that the two armies of Tieyi and Feiyi were stationed three miles away from the capital. At that time, the two armies of Tieyi and Feiyi had already replaced Liangzhou horses, and regardless of equipment, the men and horses were the best choice.

Zhu Junguan, one of the three famous generals at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had trained the flying wings and told people that this army could reach ten, and he was worthy of the king of cavalry. When Empress He heard this, she was very frightened and asked He Jin to discuss it.

He Jindao: "The emperor once said that he wanted to give Liu Xie the land of Jingzhou to autonomy, but he was trapped by the law firm of the ancestors and dared not do it. I can summon ministers to submit to Liu Xie as the governor of Jingzhou, granted the vassal of Xiangyang, exempted Xiangyang from taxes, and reduced the taxes in Jingzhou for three years. The emperor must follow it, but Liu Xie lost the opportunity to fight for the crown prince."

Queen He said, "If my son has a country, he will be able to give him a state of autonomy. But who is willing to submit a statement?"

He Jin said: "Huangfu Song and others want to make Liu Xie the emperor, but they will not agree. I can summon Wang Yun and others as the name of a general. I will definitely express the benefits I promise."

Queen He said, "That's it, brother, please make arrangements quickly."

He Jin and Zhang Rang were unfavorable to fight against the thief, and wanted to demote his post to reduce the power of Liu Xie to seize the crown prince. The emperor asked He Jin how to demote Huangfu Song to the prefect of Nanyang? He Jin was overjoyed.

The emperor then issued an edict to appointed Huangfu Song as the prefect of Nanyang and stationed in Wancheng. Later, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan County were rampant and he was reaped as Huangfu Song and General Zhennan.
