Chapter 101 Pull out a hair
Lu Bu looked at Li Su and Xu Rong with anticipation. The army led by these two people could have more than 10,000 people in total. As long as they followed him, this was a strong force. In addition to powerful warlords such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao, how many people could be his opponent in Guandong? He even thought that even Pei Qing might not be his opponent, but he was just concerned about his old love and would not take it seriously to cause trouble.
Although he knows that it is not good to attract people in public, Lu Bu can't take care of so many things for his future development. After all, he only has more than a hundred people around him, and this power is too weak. Of course, this is also related to Lu Bu's nature of forgetting his righteousness when he sees profit. Anyone who wants some face will not attract people in public like this.
However, Xu Rong said without hesitation: "General Lu, I'm sorry, I want to stay with General Pei. General Pei has been to save my life several times, and is the governor of Xinfeng appointed by the emperor's edict. As his general, I should follow him. Please forgive me!"
"You..." Lu Bu was so angry that he was all over the place when he heard this. But after all, this was Pei Qing's home court, and Lu Bu didn't dare to act too much. He knew that Xu Rong had already determined to follow Pei Qing, so he no longer cared about Xu Rong. Then he smiled at Li Su and said, "Brother Li, we are all from Jiuyuan..."
Li Su didn't want to follow Lu Bu now, because when he followed Lu Bu before, he was worried all day long, for fear that he would make a mistake accidentally and be knocked out by Lu Bu. Moreover, he had dreams before, and he was chopped off his head because of the failure to attack Niu Fu. Whenever he dreamed here, he would wake up and sweat all over. Later, he thought, if it weren't for Pei Qing who solved Niu Fu, it might be true that the dream was.
Although Pei Qing is not a fellow villager with him, he is sincere and fair in dealing with others, and is also wise and brave. In addition, he wants to have territory and people, so why bother to suffer such sins with Lu Bu and worry about his life?
So Li Su hurriedly said: "General Fengxian, in fact, the last general was also greatly favored by General Pei. Such kindness must be repaid, so please forgive me!"
"What?" Lu Bu was so angry that he almost jumped up after hearing this. Fortunately, Gao Shun secretly poked him behind him. Only then did Lu Bu realize that the other party is full of people now, and Xu Rong and Li Su obviously don't want to follow him. If he annoyed Pei Qing at this time, it would not be of any benefit to him, and he would even have life worries.
As the saying goes, a hero does not suffer a loss in front of him. Lu Bu immediately replied with a happy anger and laughed, "I was just trying to speak before. Brother, these two people are from the old subordinates of Xiliang. I was worried that they would have two hearts for you, so I tried to test it. Now seeing that they are loyal to you, I finally felt completely relieved. Now it's not too late, so we really should leave."
"Since that's the case, then Qing Gong sent General Lu." Although he was a little angry at Lu Bu's behavior, Lu Bu had done him a favor after all, allowing him to see the loyalty of Xu Rong and Li Su, so he was still a little proud. However, when he saw that Lu Bu actually pulled his people in public, he was unwilling to speak out and try to keep him away, so he sent him away directly.
However, looking at the powerful generals such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun behind Lu Bu, Pei Qing felt a little reluctant. Each of these people was a famous general of the world, but it was a pity that they were not used by him, just like Xu Rong and Li Su were not used by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was also a little disappointed. He originally thought Pei Qing would try to keep him, but he didn't expect Pei Qing to send him away directly. He knew that the other party had no intention of entertaining guests, and it would be useless to stay.
However, in the end, Lu Bu still shamelessly told a question that he had thought about for a long time but had not said: "By the way, I just saw that each of the two brave generals under my wise man were using strange weapons, but they were all extremely powerful. I wonder which expert was the guidance from?"
Pei Qing did not hide it, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not, it's just me."
"It turns out that it's you, brother, haha, I know that only you can think of this quirky thing. I'm not to hide it from you. For brother, I'm actually a little tired of using spears. I always feel that this thing has no deterrence. Brother, can you recommend me a handy weapon? This can be regarded as a return to my original wish of giving a knife."
When Pei Qing heard this, he secretly despised Lu Bu. This guy was so embarrassed. Although this knife was given to him by Lu Bu, after all, the Wannian Princess also gave him money and property. However, from another perspective, the price of the treasure sword cannot be measured by money, so Pei Qing did owe him a favor. In addition, whether it was intentional or unintentional in the court, Lu Bu was also helpful at that time, so Pei Qing said to him with the intention of repaying the favor: "I wonder if General Lu has played with Fang Tian Hua Ji?"
"Fang Tian Hua Ji? Isn't this a decorative weapon? It's basically not used on the battlefield." However, Lu Bu thought of Yin Kaishan's majestic look with two big axes before, and couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, so he said, "Since that's the case, then I have time to give it a try. If I can really achieve great martial arts, I owe you a favor, and this favor will definitely be compensated in the future."
After saying that, Lu Bu waved his hand to Pei Qing and gently pinched the red rabbit's belly. He saw the horse neighing and leaving.
"General..." Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others hurriedly bowed to Pei Qing to say goodbye when they saw Lu Bu leaving, and then rode their horses to chase after him.
"I finally sent this plague god away, but unfortunately, I didn't win over this guy, but that's right. This is Lu Bu's character. If I can win over him successfully, then will he still Lu Bu? Instead of having a headache, it's better to let Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have a headache." Pei Qing saw Lu Bu leaving, secretly sighed a few words, and then said to the generals waiting around him: "Let's go to Guan first, by the way, I will introduce you to you first. This is Xu Rong, from Xuantu, Youzhou, this is Li Su, from Jiuyuan, Bingzhou, this is Zhou Cang, Yuan Fu, Guanxi, this is Yin Qiao, Kaishan, and from Chen State in Yuzhou. From now on, everyone will be their own brothers, General Xu, Gong Jing, you will give me a hair, and I will use it to me."
When Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan heard this, they immediately knew that these two people would be brothers from now on. They immediately had a smile on their faces and said to them: "Congratulations to Brother Xu, and Brother Li."
"Uh..." Xu Rong and Li Su were stunned when they heard this. They didn't understand why Pei Qing asked them to slur their hair, nor did they understand why Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan became so enthusiastic when they heard that Pei Qing asked them for hair. Could it be that the Western Regions admit that they were their own people and actually had such customs? He brought the customs of the Western Regions here?
At this time, Zhang Chao said, "General Pei, is the last general your brother? We have lived and died together before. If the general is willing to treat me, Zhang Chao, as a brother, I will stay here. If the general doesn't want to, it would be that Chao would not have such luck, and Chao should have left."
Seeing this, Pei Qing quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand me. Of course I treat you as a brother of life and death, but you are Zhu Cheqi after all, no, now it should be said that he is the general under Zhu Taipu's tent, and his guest..."
But Zhang Chao sighed, "Can I still be his tent? General Pei doesn't know? Xu Qi's army has been disbanded, and even Xu Qi himself has left Chang'an, and I don't know where he went. Moreover, he was so loyal to the court before, but this time after the Xiliang army broke through Chang'an, it easily accepted the thieves' win over, and even I felt embarrassed. So after discussion, we unanimously decided that we will be yourselves in the future. If the general does not abandon us, we are willing to die for the general!"
"Is this true? This is really great." Pei Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and then said to Zhang Chao: "Since that's the case, then you can also pull out one of your hair and give it to me."
