Chapter 365 Breaking the Door

In Chang'an, the imperial examination had just ended, and the six ministries had been established and started to operate. Under Lu Bu's arrangement, the new system gradually replaced the old system and was full of vitality.

However, Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to these things. When most of the candidates returned to their hometowns to explain, Lu Bu happened to preside over Guo Jia's marriage in Chang'an City.

Since quitting Hanshi Powder, and after some treatment by Lu Bu, Guo Jia now looks much more normal, with a rosy complexion, full of energy, and his eyes are brighter than before. Sitting with everyone now, he still doesn't look as good as before. Looking like a sick person.

After Lu Bu and Cai Yong decided on a date, they got married as soon as the imperial examination was over.

"I don't know how long it will take to look like this now, but it is still easy to live to Brother Bozhe's age." Lu Bu watched the two getting married, sat next to Cai Yong and said with a smile, "Maybe next year I can have a big baby." Fat son, you have to let Zhao Ji take care of him."

"As long as they are happy with this girl's affairs, I, as a father, should be less involved. By the way, I heard that Ma Mengqi has gone to Jincheng. Looking at the time, it is time for Ma Shoucheng to come and hire her." Yong nodded, then smiled.

Lu Bu nodded silently and frowned slightly. Could it be that Ma Chao died on the road? It's been almost three months and there's still no movement.

"My lord." Dian Wei hurried over, saluted Lu Bu, and whispered, "Xu Shu and Pang Tong want to see you."

"They're here just in time, let them in quickly." Lu Bu smiled and nodded. Although the two top candidates in this imperial examination were temporarily assigned to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and their official positions were not obvious, Lu Bu was very optimistic about their future.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed, turned around and left.

"The talents of these two people will not be under the influence of Fengxiao in the future. If Fengxian can get such a talented person, he will have no worries in the future, cough~" At the end of the sentence, Cai Yong couldn't help coughing a few times.

Lu Bu glanced at Cai Yong, a look of worry flashed in his eyes. Although Cai Yong had not treated him, from a pulse point of view, Cai Yong's life was almost over.

This was the director of Chang'an Academy. The establishment of Chang'an Academy and later Luoyang Academy, Chengdu Academy, and Nanyang Academy was all due to Cai Yong's appeal. Not only did he teach in person, but he also helped Lu Bu recruit many educational talents. Lu Bu went through the most difficult period in talent training.

If Cai Yong dies, it will be a big loss for Lu Bu and the Han Dynasty.

It's just that life, old age, illness and death are natural cycles. Even if Lu Bu has a magical hand, it will be difficult for people to live longer unless he has the ability to use light and brain.

"Pay more attention to yourself." Lu Bu pressed Cai Yong's hand that was about to hold the wine glass and looked at Cai Yong.

"What's the matter with drinking on the big day?" Cai Yong struggled for a moment but couldn't get away, and glared at Lu Bu dissatisfied.

That’s all.

Lu Bu finally let go. Life may have no meaning to him. In the last period of his life, he should be happier if he can be happy.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong also came in at this time. When they saw Lu Bu, Xu Shu knelt down with a pop.

"Yuan Zhi, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Lu Bu stretched out his hand to help Xu Shu up.

"Please, Lieutenant Commander, save my mother." Xu Shu's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs. During this time, he was just worried about his mother's safety along the way. He was flustered and a little distracted.

"What happened?" Lu Bu looked at Pang Tong. At this time, Xu Shu was so excited that he might not be able to tell the truth.

"Back to the Lieutenant, Yuan Zhi went with me to Jingzhou to say goodbye to the teacher. When he came back, he wanted to bring his mother to live in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao ordered the Yingchuan Prefect to arrest Yuan Zhi's mother." Pang Tong bowed.

Lu Bu's expression suddenly darkened, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

Pang Tong was secretly speechless. When he met Lu Bu a few days ago, he always felt that although he looked domineering, he didn't have that domineering feeling. He felt very gentle and felt like spring breeze when getting along with him. But at this moment, he felt that moment. It was like the majesty of the heaven and earth changing color. For the first time, Pang Tong had a general understanding of this legendary captain.

"Lord, will the Ministry of War mobilize troops immediately?" Dian Wei asked.

After the establishment of the Six Ministries, all major troop movements must be approved by the Ministry of War.

"There is no need to engage in a big fight. Let the Ministry of War dispatch three thousand crossbow cavalry to follow me to Yingchuan. In addition, I will issue another order so that Gao Shun and his army will be ready to respond at any time." Lu Bu stood up and said.

Cai Yong frowned and said, "Fengxian, do you want to go in person?"

"Yes." Lu Bu nodded: "In the final analysis, this matter is also to give the princes of the world an attitude. Scholars selected by the imperial examination must be treated with courtesy from all places, let alone threaten their families. This trend cannot last forever. I need Go and deal with it yourself!”

"How can you move lightly now that you are a lieutenant?" Cai Yong frowned.

"If I don't move lightly, I'm afraid the princes will treat me as a child's play." Lu Bu stood up and looked at Cai Yong and said, "It can't be delayed. I need to set off immediately, so I won't bother my troops and mobilize the crowd, and I don't want to disturb Fengxiao. Brother Bozhe will do it later." Just talk to him.”

"you……"

"Don't worry." Cai Yong stopped what he wanted to say, and Lu Bu smiled and said, "No one in the world can kill me on the battlefield!"

Maybe even Lu Bu himself doesn't know how strong Lu Bu is now. He hasn't done anything by himself for a long time, and he happened to go to Yingchuan to stretch his muscles.

Without paying any attention to Cai Yong, Lu Bu led everyone to leave Cai's Mansion, and immediately ordered the Ministry of War to mobilize troops. Three thousand companies of crossbow cavalry assembled outside Chang'an City at the fastest speed, with three people per person and ten crossbow boxes per person. Now Beibei The Gongcheng has begun to forge an endless stream of crossbow arrows. For Lu Bu today, crossbow arrows no longer need to be used as carefully as before. As long as the logistics can keep up, he can shoot freely.

Xu Shu also followed this time. As an army counselor, he was originally a ranger, and his riding skills were not bad. He didn't feel any discomfort during the journey.

In five days, changing horses without changing people, they traveled nine hundred miles all the way to Yangdi, Yingchuan.

The Yingchuan Prefect had obviously received the order, and the entire Yingchuan County was on tight guard. Three thousand light cavalry marched straight in. Yingchuan County was full of smoke, and all the cities had already closed their gates and were waiting.

"Yuan Zhi, is your aunt in Yangzhai?" Lu Bu asked looking at Xu Shu who looked tired.

"It was before, but I don't know now." Xu Shu nodded and looked at the closed city gate in front of him with some worry. Although he knew that Lu Bu had rarely suffered a defeat, it was a taboo for military strategists to underestimate the enemy and advance alone. If he couldn't If they attack Yangdi very quickly, they will inevitably be surrounded from all sides. The problem is that they came without siege equipment. How can they fight with three thousand cavalry?

Xu Shu guessed that Lu Bu would use strategies to lure the enemy out of the city to fight in the field, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy...

"Dian Wei!" Lu Bu looked at the closed city gate and looked at Dian Wei beside him.

"The general is here!" Dian Weice immediately stepped forward and said loudly.

"Bring someone here to find some rocks." Lu Bu shook the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, thought for a while and said, "About fifty kilograms will be enough."

(One pound in the Eastern Han Dynasty is mainly 224 grams, and fifty pounds is about twelve kilograms. I have said it before, but some people still said it later. I will say it again here)

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed and ordered his men to go find the stones and bring them over.

Although the three thousand men and horses were running all the way, they were not too tired and completed Lu Bu's order in an orderly manner, even if the order sounded a bit inexplicable.

Xu Shu followed Lu Bu with some confusion. Seeing Lu Bu looking around the city, he also followed him, observing the city carefully, perhaps looking for its weaknesses.

Lu Bu didn't explain much. An hour later, Dian Wei pointed to the hill-like rocks, looked at Lu Bu and said, "My lord, are these enough?"

Lu Bu didn't say anything, got off his horse, grabbed a stone with one hand, weighed it, and then threw it hard while everyone looked at him in astonishment.

The fifty kilogram stone didn't look too big, about the size of a one-year-old baby's head, but with this throw, Lu Bu threw it directly onto the opposite city wall, with a bang that startled the soldiers guarding the city.

Dian Wei went up and tried with some astonishment, but he could only throw it about twenty steps with all his strength, and looked at Lu Bu with a blank look on his face.

Lu Bu led his men to a position about eighty steps away from the city wall. At this position, even if the opponent's arrows were shot, they would have little force. He turned to look at Xing Dianwei and said, "Come twenty people and pass me the stones. The others, As soon as the city gate is breached, rush in immediately!”

"Here!" the soldiers of the three armies responded in unison.

Immediately, some soldiers brought the stone to Lu Bu. Lu Bu grabbed it, threw it hard, and hit the city gate hard, making a dent in the city gate.

Although the door could not be broken directly, only ten stones were thrown, and the city gate was already in tatters, as if it might fall apart at any time.

The soldiers on both sides were dumbfounded. They had seen siegeers before. How had they ever seen siegeers like this? They just threw stones with their hands. Is this still a human being? How much effort is this?

Even though he was as brave as Dian Wei, Dian Wei felt that when he saw Lu Bu continuously throwing stones at the city gate from eighty steps away, he might be more powerful than when he hit the city gate with stones from three to five steps away. Some of what I thought was common sense was crumbling in my heart.

After Lu Bu helped him to recuperate, he had a period of strength growth, but even so, compared to what Lu Bu showed now, the gap between him and ordinary people may be greater than that between ordinary people.

"Boom boom boom~"

Amidst the roars, everyone's cognition, not just Dian Wei's, was shattered again and again as the dilapidated city gate trembled again and again.

In the end, when the city gate collapsed, the generals in Guanzhong seemed to have forgotten to attack, and the defensive officers were numb and forgot to defend. It was not until Lu Bu gave the order that the cavalry officers woke up from a dream, and each of them held a long sword and rode on their horse. After rushing out, Dian Wei dismounted his horse and rushed into the city quickly as if he had been stimulated.

"Quickly, stop them!" A Cao army leader wanted to command his troops to stop them, but the next moment, he was picked up by Dian Wei. Amidst a series of screams, Dian Wei directly used the people as weapons and threw them around. , Cao Jun was smashed, crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.

Looking at Cao Jun running away with his head in his arms, and then looking at the silenced team leader in his hand, Dian Wei was a little confused, he has not become weaker~
