Chapter 80 Reunion with an Old Friend
They returned to the camp.
Lu Bu, who had just sneaked in from outside the camp with a pheasant during the chaos at the camp gate, was now plucking the pheasant and skewering it on the stick his father had just used to roast venison.
After all this is done.
The man hummed a little tune and sat in the spot where Lü Ping had just been sitting, turning the pheasant from time to time and sprinkling on some seasoning.
He returned late and missed the roasted venison his father had mentioned. Now, however, he was eagerly anticipating his own roasted chicken.
Seeing this scene.
When he was out in public, Lü Ping, who had a calm demeanor and the air of a high-ranking official, suddenly changed his appearance.
He sneered and kicked his own eldest son in the buttocks.
"Still eating!"
"You've caused such a huge mess, and now your father has to clean up your mess?!"
"Do you know that these past few days, Li Hong, whom you humiliated so thoroughly, has been sending people to block our gates every day, preventing ordinary soldiers from leaving?!"
"Your father was out just now, and he was handling this matter with you!"
Yes.
Lu Ping knew that the reason why Li Hong kept provoking him, apart from his relationship with Wang Zhi, was mainly because of his eldest son, whom he had taken advantage of.
If it weren't for his own eldest son secretly abandoning Cai Yong and then following him to defeat the Wula Mountain bandits...
As for when they returned, did they run into Li Hong, and then forcibly drag Li Hong and his three hundred soldiers away for several dozen miles?
Finally, Lü Bu simply abandoned Li Hong in the woods, shook off the group of soldiers, and fled back to Jiuyuan.
This caused the extremely embarrassed Li Hong to lose face completely in front of his three hundred soldiers.
Faced with his own father's constant use of the title "Grandpa," and the immediate kick he received.
Lu Bu showed no anger on his face. On the contrary, he smiled and turned the roast chicken with one hand while gently patting the dust off his body with the other.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he muttered a curse under his breath.
"Father! It's not that I deliberately wanted to cause trouble this time!"
"Who told that damned Song Xian to include Bu's white horse in the battle report just to make it look better?"
"That white horse, Bu, is so easy to recognize. It's not like Song Xian wouldn't recognize it!"
"I knocked Li Hong unconscious in order to seize the horse!"
"If Bu hadn't just arrived in Beiyu City a few days ago and hadn't run into him yet, I would have given him a good beating!"
Upon hearing this...
Lu Ping's expression softened slightly.
Seeing Lu Bu's clumsy attempts, he sighed softly, but took the initiative to step forward, pushing aside Lu Bu who clearly didn't know how to grill meat but was messing around, and personally took charge of grilling chicken for his own cheap son.
to be frank.
When Lü Ping encountered his adopted eldest son in the mountains while hunting a couple of days ago, he was quite surprised and thought he had seen wrong.
After all... in his mind, his eldest son should have been learning classics, calligraphy, painting, music, and chess from Cai Yong.
Where would it appear here?
even...
When Lü Ping accidentally bumped into Lü Bu, who was also hunting in the mountains, his foolish eldest son's first reaction was to run away.
He ran extremely fast, and in just a moment, he almost ran out of range.
It wasn't until Lü Ping snapped out of his daze that he called out repeatedly.
She even went so far as to threaten her own foolish eldest son, saying that she would take a bow and arrow and shoot him.
Worried that his father's archery skills were inaccurate, Lü Bu stopped in his tracks, hunched over, and obediently walked back, explaining everything he had done and his current situation.
That is, after seeing that their own prices were much lower.
Lü Ping then realized the various suspicious points that had arisen when the bandits of Wula Mountain were wiped out.
at this time.
Recalling the words his adopted son had said earlier, Lü Ping turned the roast chicken in his hand and spoke thoughtfully.
"What were you saying earlier about how you got here?"
Seeing the roast chicken in his father's hands, Lu Bu, who hadn't tasted his father's cooking for a long time, couldn't help but swallow hard. He confessed honestly.
"I was originally riding alone, following behind the group."
"On the way, we encountered a group of horse merchants who claimed to be from Zhongshan County, so we traveled with them."
"The cavalry from Zhongshan County?"
Lu Ping murmured something.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly trembled, almost dropping the roast chicken he was holding. Lu Bu, who was watching from the side, felt his heart surge with turmoil.
"Damn it!" Lu Ping turned his head to look at his eldest son, with a hint of probing.
"Could there be two leaders in this caravan, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Su?"
"Indeed!" Lü Ping nodded emphatically, then asked curiously.
"Does Father recognize these two people?"
"These two are very righteous people and have treated Bu very well. Even though they didn't know Bu before, they have taken care of Bu's food, clothing and shelter for so long."
"It's just that these two seem to have had bad luck; they've run into some bad people."
"The two men told Bu more than once that they came to Beiyu City to find a Qu Chang who had taken their money and goods and promised to do things for them."
"But I've been with them among the Hu people for several days, and they still haven't found it!"
"It's also possible that the head of the tribe is deliberately avoiding them."
Upon hearing this...
Lu Ping took a deep breath and repeatedly stuffed the nearly roasted pheasant in his hand into his adopted son's hands, trying to shut Lu Bu up.
Lu Bu, however, was completely oblivious. He simply tore off a piece of his torn flesh and spoke up again, this time to defend the two bandit leaders.
"Father, tell me, why is this world so treacherous?"
"He's already a brigade leader, a 600-stone official of the imperial court, how could he do something like taking money and not doing his job?!"
""
"Isn't this just abusing their power to bully merchants?"
"If they find the bandit leader and tell Bu, Bu will definitely stand up for those two!"
talking.
Seeing that his father remained silent, but his expression grew darker and darker, Lü Bu seemed to finally realize something, and he subconsciously shut his mouth.
But... it was too late.
Lu Ping sneered and grabbed the roast chicken from Lu Bu's hand, forcing it into Lu Bu's mouth regardless of whether it could fit.
Lu Bu dared not resist and could only try to open his mouth wide.
"Shut up!" Lu Ping sneered from the border.
"It's just that your father forgot; why are you making so many comments?!"
Where are those two now?
"Later, you lead the way. I'll go see those two. When they arrive, tell them to go with that group of rabble. With Ping there, they should be able to protect them!"
Upon hearing that these two had actually followed him, Lü Ping's first reaction was actually to go find Tian Yan and see if he could teach these two to join the army as military merchants.
only...
After a brief moment's thought, Lü Ping abandoned the idea.
After all, Tian Yan already disliked him. If he really made a request, who knew how Tian Yan would try to trick Su and Zhang?
As for Jiao Su and Zhang following the Hu tribes, it was based on Lü Ping's assessment of the battle; he believed that the battle was highly unlikely to be lost.
Firstly, in his impression, during the late Han Dynasty, the warlords of the Three Kingdoms period seemed to be suppressing various foreign tribes in the north and south when they fought.
Secondly, the Han people in the Eastern Han Dynasty were quite capable of fighting against five barbarian tribes.
This campaign was led by Zang Min, Tian Yan, and Xia Yu, who could be considered famous generals of the late Han Dynasty. The army was divided into three routes, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers were mobilized.
Not to mention, this battle also features heroes like Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian, who possess great fortune and have the so-called "luck bonus," so how could they possibly lose?
Thinking this way.
Lu Ping got up and tried to pull Lu Bu, who was eating roast chicken, away to find Su and Zhang.
only...
They could only walk a few steps.
Song Xian, who had just been at the door, strode over and called out loudly as soon as he saw Lü Ping.
"Marshal!"
"Outside the camp, there was a group of raggedly dressed Xiongnu people who claimed to be old friends of the military commander and wanted to see him!"
"Chengquchang instructed me to come and find you!"
Huns?
An old friend?
Hearing Song Xian's words, Lü Ping was stunned.
Behind Lü Ping.
Lu Bu, who had just been pulled up, suddenly stopped what he was doing when he saw Song Xian, who had previously tricked him out of his horse.
He snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
