Zhang Yang asked: "Fengxian, do you mean... to let me abandon the city and leave?"
Lu Bu nodded.
"But this..." Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment: "After all, I am the governor of Hanoi, how can I abandon Hanoi? Isn't this dereliction of duty..."
Lu Bu chuckled: "Uncle Zhi, who made you the governor of Hanoi?"
"It's...Dong Zhuo!" Zhang Yang looked a little embarrassed.
Lu Bu continued: "Although you joined the alliance when we attacked Dong Zhuo, you could not become Yuan Shao's confidant after all.
You are just a chess piece in Hanoi now, and you are the kind of chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
Otherwise, you have been held hostage by Yu Fulo for so long, why didn't you see Yuan Shao come to rescue you? "
"this……"
"Furthermore, do you think Yuan Shao is a person loyal to the Han Dynasty? He is just taking advantage of the troubled times to expand his power.
You don’t think Yuan Shao is a person who can achieve great things, do you?
Didn't you see through the last time when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo?
These people seem to share the same hatred, but in fact they have their own agendas.
The only ones who really dared to lead troops to fight Dong Zhuo were Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
So what's the result? Cao Cao fought alone without anyone coming to help him.
Sun Jian won two battles, but Yuan Shu, who was in charge of logistics and food supplies, was afraid that Sun Jian would become bigger and refused to give him food!
As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao also turned a blind eye.
Uncle Zhi, tell me, what is this if not a bunch of rabble? "
Zhang Yang remained silent.
As one of the eighteen princes, he knew the little thoughts of these people better than Lu Bu.
During the alliance meeting, everyone spoke loudly and impeccably. When a fight actually broke out, they all stayed back to eat and drink, and no one dared to come forward.
"Fengxian made it clear! But...if I abandon Hanoi, where should I settle down?"
Lu Bu said: "If Uncle Zhi thinks highly of me, why not follow me to Xuzhou, and we brothers will work together to clean up the Yellow Turbans and conquer the world!"
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and then asked: "What about the counties in Hanoi? How can I explain to Yuan Benchu (Yuan Shao)?"
Lu Bu patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said: "As I said just now, Hanoi is in the middle of many forces and is a hot potato..."
As he said this, it suddenly occurred to him that the potato had not been introduced yet, so he changed his mind and said: "It is just a useless thing. It has no meat to eat and it is a pity to throw it away.
You can completely hand it over to Yuan Shao or Cao Cao and let them worry about running it!
Of course, if you can't let go of Hanoi, Uncle Zhi, I won't force you to do so, but you need to remember not to be too ostentatious, and you need to be cautious and self-possessed to preserve your strength...
Uncle Zhi, I know this matter is very important to you, so you don’t have to rush to make up your mind.
You and I, brothers, haven't seen each other for many years. Let's have a good drink first and wait until you return to Hanoi to discuss it later.
If you make up your mind to leave Hanoi, you can go to Xuzhou to find me at any time! "
"Thank you, brother Fengxian, for the tip! I have no respect for you, but please drink this cup!" Zhang Yang said and stood up to pour a glass of wine for Lu Bu.
But Lu Bu called Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and said, "Uncle Zhi, Wen Yuan, Xiaofu, you and I are all old acquaintances. It's rare to see each other here today. Why don't the four of us take this opportunity to sworn brothers of the opposite sex?" , I wonder what you three think?"
Gao Shun said hurriedly: "My lord, Shun is just a junior general under my lord, how dare you call me brother!"
Zhang Liao also said he didn't dare.
But Lu Bu said: "Alas! What a filial father said! Originally, the four of you and I were leading troops in Bingzhou, and we were all Han ministers. How could we be distinguished?
The world is in chaos now, and the four of us have become brothers. If we work together, great things can be accomplished! "
When the three of them saw that Lu Bu was sincere, they no longer refused.
Lu Bu also asked people to reorganize the incense table and prepare the black ox and white horse sacrifices, etc. The four people burned incense and bowed before saying an oath:
"Today, Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, although they have different surnames, they have become brothers and work together to rescue the poor and help the people in danger; report to the country and keep the common people safe.
I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, I just want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. Emperors, queens, and queens, learn from this fact that they are treacherous and ungrateful, and both heaven and man are killed! "
After the oath was completed, Zhang Yang was the eldest, but he declined in every possible way and refused to be his brother.
After some refusal, he still considered Lu Bu as his elder brother, Zhang Yang as the second, Zhang Liao as the third, and Gao Shun as the fourth brother.
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Brother, since we are already brothers, Zhang Yang is no longer the governor of Hanoi. He is willing to lead his men and go to Xuzhou with big brother to plan great things together!"
Lu Bu laughed ferociously: "That's very good! Then you can set off for Hanoi tomorrow and bring my family, the money, food, family, and people brought from Chang'an to Liyang. Let's go to Xuzhou together!"
At this moment, Lu Bu was also complacent.
Although not as good as the three sworn brothers of Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both first-rate warriors.
But Zhang Yang was the best friend to Lu Bu, Zhang Liao was the best general of the Three Kingdoms in using troops, and Gao Shun was even better at training troops and loyal to him.
Now he kowtows to the incense burner a few times and gets these three people to follow him wholeheartedly. It's really a big profit!
On the second day, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were asked to rectify their troops and horses in the city, and the able-bodied ones from Yuvluo's tribe who had surrendered were selected to be retained, while the old, weak, sick and disabled were given some money and food to send them off on the spot.
It would take some time for Zhang Yang to return to Hanoi to pack up the troops, weapons, food, grass and other supplies. Lu Bu was not idle either, so he took only a group of people and crossed the Yellow River to Chenliu.
Because Chen Liu still has a very important person waiting for him - Chen Gong!
Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, was shocked when he heard that Lu Bu had come to visit: Why did this slave with the third surname come to Chenliu without any trace?
However, the people had already arrived at the door of the house, and now that Lu Bu was the hero of Dong Zhuo's death, Zhang Miao did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led the people to welcome him out.
Outside the camp gate, I saw that Lu Bu was waiting with only three or five followers and horses. Zhang Miao hurriedly took two steps and cupped his hands and said, "Sure enough, Marquis Wen is here! Please atone for your failure to welcome me from afar!"
Lu Bu chuckled and said, "Hey! Brother Meng Zhuo (cousin of Zhang Miao)! Long time no see. How are you always? I came uninvited today. What a bother!"
Zhang Miao said: "Hey! If Marquis Wen can come, Pengpi will shine! Come in quickly and invite us!"
The two walked hand in hand, pretending to be familiar with each other.
When I arrived at the office, I saw a burly man standing in front of the court, more than eight feet tall, carrying a pair of short halberds on his back.
Lu Bu couldn't help but stood still and praised: "What a big man! I wonder what I call this hero?"
The man couldn't help but be a little surprised and glanced at Zhang Miao.
Seeing Zhang Miao nod slightly, the big man clasped his hands in a salute and said, "I am Dian Wei, a sergeant in the prefecture's army!"
Lu Bu was overjoyed after hearing this!
Dian Wei hasn’t followed Boss Cao yet!
Doesn’t this make you feel better?
One Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, Dianwei's combat effectiveness is unmatched!
Dian Wei must be taken down!
