Chapter 100 Pull people in public
"Master."
"Master!"
After seeing the person clearly, Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan were all full of surprises. At this time, regardless of Lu Bu's side, he hurried over and saluted respectfully at each other.
Of course, the person who came was Pei Qing. When Pei Qing left Chang'an, he went straight to Wuguan. There were some soldiers from Xiliang Army along the way. However, when they saw Pei Qing following an army of 30,000 to 40,000, who dared to block it so blindly? Of course, they all let it go one after another. In addition, Pei Qing had already lost Chang'an, fearing that Yingchuan would also be in danger, so he led the army day and night to the bottom of Wuguan.
Pei Qing originally thought that this place was still controlled by Yuan Shu, and he had made plans to force the attack if the other party refused to let go. However, he first saw Lu Bu and the knights under his command confronting Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan in front of the pass, and then he realized that Wu Pass had been taken down by his people.
Pei Qing was shocked when he saw this and said to them: "Kaishan, Yuanfu (the word Pei Qing took for Zhou Cang). I didn't expect that you have all captured Wuguan. I guess Yuan Shu had retreated to Runan at this time, right?"
"That's right," Zhou Cang took the lead and smiled at Pei Qing: "Old boy Yuan Shu and Liu Biao competed for Nanyang, but they did not get any of them. In the end, the Yuan Shao brothers took the lead and occupied Wancheng. Liu Biao was very angry and sent Wen Pin to attack. However, Wen Pin was not the opponent of the Yuan Shao brothers. In addition, the Yuan Shao brothers sent the lord's letter to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao got face. So he agreed that both sides would use Xinye as the boundary, and return to us north of Xinye and Liu Biao to the south of Xinye. When the Yuan Shao brothers heard that the Xiliang army rebelled, they quickly asked me to capture Wuguan. We had heard that the bandits captured Chang'an and were preparing to go to Guanzhong to welcome the lord, but Mr. Tang said that as long as he occupied Wuguan, the lord would definitely come back from here. As expected, Mr. Tang was right. In fact, if the lord didn't come again, I really wanted him to have a good meal of my old boxing, hehe..."
"You just don't change your recklessness. Bo Hu did a good job. If we lose Wu Pass, we will be in trouble. Even entering Guandong requires fighting. Wu Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to break through, you will inevitably lose troops and generals, and it will also waste time. So defending Wu Pass is much more useful than meeting me in Guanzhong."
Pei Qing laughed at Zhou Cang, then walked to Lu Bu and said with a faint smile: "General Lu, we have met again, is it always good?"
"Uh..." Lu Bu also saw Pei Qing, of course, and he was surprised at first, because since Wu Guan was controlled by Pei Qing, it means that he could enter Guanzhong without fighting. In this way, he was finally safe.
But when Pei Qing spoke to him seriously, he suddenly remembered that he had lost Chang'an and failed Pei Qing's trust. Now he was really ashamed to face Pei Qing.
"My brother, I, I lost Chang'an and I have something to let you down..." Lu Bu was embarrassed and his face turned red. His generation of powerful generals have become like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and are prone to shyness.
Pei Qing sighed softly: "This is not entirely the general, but the main reason is that Jia Xu is too cunning and actually bribed Yang Ding. Yang Ding secretly threw himself into the Xiliang Army and opened the city gate, which made people unpredictable. If I want to say responsibility, I will also bear a lot of responsibility. It's all because I am not familiar with history books."
"Brother, don't blame yourself. What does this matter have to do with you? You can't read history books and anyone is a traitor, right?" Lu Bu shook his hand. He felt that Pei Qing was really speechless and could not take all the responsibilities on him.
However, Lu Bu didn't know at all that Pei Qing could really read who was a traitor when he was studying. As long as he read carefully about all the things of this period and involved related characters, he would know that this Yang Ding was absolutely unreliable. Once he was prepared in his heart, the Xiliang Army would not break through Chang'an so easily. It was precisely because of his negligence that he failed to see through Yang Ding, which led to the fall of Chang'an, which made the situation of the Han Dynasty take a sharp turn for the worse again.
However, Pei Qing is not a person who will give up. He now has nearly 30,000 troops. If the Yingchuan garrison is added, the total number will be enough to reach 50,000. Although there is still a lot of gap compared to the Xiliang army, he is not without a single try.
Of course, if it were not forbidden, Pei Qing would not be willing to make up all his family, because this not only means that he will never have any support from now on, but will also bring endless disasters to the people in Yingchuan, Nanyang and other places he controls now.
So for Pei Qing now, joining the Kanto princes is the best choice.
But Pei Qing also knew that the princes of Guandong are all busy with their own affairs. Few of them are enthusiastic about the affairs of the court. If they only pay a small price, it would be fine, but if they fight against the Xiliang army with more than 100,000,000, no one would be so stupid as to do this.
Of course Pei Qing also knew the difficulties, but his fiancée was in Chang'an, Cai Zhaoji was in Chang'an, and his brother-in-law, the emperor, was also in Chang'an. He couldn't sit idly by, right?
So Pei Qing secretly decided that no matter how difficult the matter was, he would definitely work hard to do it. If no one else did it, he would do it himself, but it was definitely not a tough fight.
Since Pei Qing has come, he naturally has to let Lu Bu enter Wu Pass. He can take the opportunity to win over Lu Bu and fight back to Chang'an with him.
However, Pei Qing would not let Lu Bu join his subordinates, because he knew that Lu Bu had always been profit-oriented and had a strong ambition. He could not control him with his current ability, but would instead bring disaster to himself. After all, Xu Rong and Li Su were also his subordinates, and many Xiliang soldiers were also afraid of his reputation. Besides, he had to learn from Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and later Liu Bei's lessons.
So after entering the pass, Pei Qing asked, "I don't know what the general has to plan in the future?"
Lu Bu actually has no plan at all now. As long as someone can give him a bite of food, of course this is the first step, and the second step is naturally to break out of territory.
So Lu Bu said directly: "Or I will do things under your command, brother, right? You just need to give me a piece of land and I will work hard for you from now on."
Pei Qing heard this and said with a smile: "General, you are really good at joking. Now I am just a county in Yingchuan and several counties in Nanyang. There are only loaches in the shallows. How can I raise dragons? Besides, if you are in official positions, you are above me. If I dare to do this, I will probably laugh all over the world. I don't know how to advance or retreat."
At this time, Lu Bu didn't quite understand the faces of the princes of Guandong. He felt that he was full of martial arts and was trapped in this small place. So he laughed and said, "That's right. If I really let me do things under your hands, I'm really not used to it. I heard that Yuan Shu in Runan was good at soldiers and food, and his disciples were full of old officials all over the world. Moreover, I heard that the Grand Tutor Ma Riyi was also holding a talisman with him. It would be better to go and vote for him. At the same time, he asked Ma Taifu Ma to ask for a position of half a position. Brother, I don't know when I will see you again after this separation. When we meet again next time, we will drink together."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he was about to lead the crowd to leave. However, before leaving, he looked at Xu Rong and Li Su under Pei Qing's command, and then asked: "Xu Rong, Li Su, thanks to General Pei for his care in the past, you two should thank him for your kindness. Forget it, I will repay this love in the future. You are ready to set off now. Don't worry, I will take you back to Chang'an when the time comes."
