Zhu Li's refusal made the Shiwei general very unwilling. After thinking for a while, he continued: "General of the Tang Dynasty, if you take our leader away, our young master will definitely lead tens of thousands of warriors from our tribe to knock on the Central Plains to rescue him. When the time comes, I hope you will not regret it."
If soft tactics don't work, then try hard tactics. The Shiwei people are not uncivilized, they can use both soft and hard tactics. However, this guy's negotiation skills are too poor. With such a direct threat, isn't he afraid that Zhu Li will kill Mo Heduo in a blink of an eye
What's more, now on the northern border, Juyongguan is guarded by Yue Pengju, Gao Yuan and others; Junduxing is guarded by Liang Zun, Piantouguan is guarded by Lu Yong, Gaoque is guarded by Gao Su and others. Would Zhu Li be afraid of the threat from the Di people
Besides, Zhu Li's next plan is to bring all the territories of the original Shanyu Protectorate, from the vast grasslands in the north of Hetao to the east to the Sanggan River basin, under his jurisdiction. In the years to come, who knows who will cause trouble for whom.
Thinking of this, Zhu Li simply gave him a contemptuous look, turned his horse's head and prepared to return to the camp. Is there any point in threatening? You know, a biting dog will never bark too loudly.
Let's go back to Fengzhou first. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of Di cavalry suddenly rushed over from the distant grassland.
The man came with an aggressive look, as if he had been beaten up.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Li had to give up his plan to return to the main camp again.
Looking far ahead, he muttered to himself, aren't these the same group of Shiwei warriors who just escaped? Are they going to get reinforcements
With this suspicion, Zhu Li continued to look, and among these people, there was indeed an extraordinary person. Such a person would be noticed at a glance. He looked a little unfamiliar and should not have appeared here before. He was a handsome general.
Judging from the appearance of this person, he is nearly ten feet tall, with a waist that is ten times bigger than his waist. He has a dignified appearance and looks proud. He rides a black cloud-treading snow curly-haired beast and holds a two-foot-tall gilded Fang Tian Huaji in his hand. He is galloping towards Zhu Li.
Seeing this person, the Classic of Mountains and Seas in Zhu Li's sea of consciousness flashed out again, accompanied by a loud and clear voice: "Lü Fengxian, the reincarnation of the heroic spirit Lü Bu. Lü Bu was known as the "Flying General". There was a saying that "Lü Bu among men and Red Hare among horses". His heroic spirit was unyielding and appeared in the world to help the people. His heroic spirit has returned to the mountains and seas."
Before Hongran's voice fell, Lu Fengxian had already ridden his horse to the front of Zhu Li. When they were more than ten meters apart, he stopped his horse and looked at Zhu Li in surprise.
Perhaps it was the influence of the Classic of Mountains and Seas that made him feel a genuine affinity towards Zhu Li. Although his eyes were full of ferocity and he looked awe-inspiring, he did not act on impulse and attack Zhu Li immediately.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Bu was the bravest among all the princes, but apart from his bravery, he did not seem to be well regarded in other aspects.
For example, "brave but without strategy", "frivolous, cunning and fickle", "a man who forgets his loyalty for the sake of beauty", "a slave of three surnames", etc., all seem to be used to describe Lu Bu, which shows how poor his character is.
Is Lu Bu really that bad
Different people have different opinions.
First of all, to describe Lu Bu as "brave but without strategy" is to disparage this man. Lu Bu also had strategies, for example, he used the sorcerer in Puyang to lure Cao Cao, which almost cost him his life; he also shot the halberd at the gate and turned the war into averted, all of which showed that Lu Bu was quite strategic.
In the abnormal environment of the Three Kingdoms, any small character is a shrewd person. In comparison, Lu Bu's strategy seems very mediocre.
As for the evaluation of "a slave of three surnames", it is not entirely true.
Lu Bu killed his godfather and gave people the feeling that he was addicted to killing. He was a well-known "godfather killer". In fact, if you study it carefully, you will find that what Lu Bu loved most was not high office and generous salary, or dominating a region. He was a typical romantic who only loved beauty and not the country.
So why did he kill Ding Yuan? Lu Bu was a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, who was the bravest among all the princes. To put it bluntly, Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms period made a living by his bravery. For the sake of a Red Hare, he killed Ding Yuan to add an insurance to his job. It is understandable. You know, food is the most important thing for people.
In addition, when Lu Bu deceived and captured Xuzhou and Liu Bei's wives and concubines, he behaved like a gentleman and returned them to Liu Bei without moving a single thing; when Luoyang fell into a trap and Li and Guo Si's armies besieged the city, Lu Bu still did not forget Wang Yun in such a critical moment, and finally killed his way through the enemy soldiers, found Wang Yun, and persuaded him to go with him. It can be seen that he was not a completely unrighteous person.
There is also a Chinese idiom that says, "Cao Cao regretted killing Lu Bu too late." Why did he regret too late? Doesn't it show that Lu Bu was indeed a talent
All this shows that Lu Bu was not that bad. However, his most famous deeds were killing his godfather and teasing Diao Chan.
As soon as Lu Fengxian appeared, he was full of murderous aura, because his adoptive father who raised him was captured alive. Fortunately, he was nearby and rushed over immediately after receiving the news.
But when he saw that the person who captured his adoptive father alive was Zhu Li, he became hesitant. For some reason, he could not muster the slightest desire to fight against Zhu Li.
It’s not that Zhu Li is not strong and can’t arouse his interest, but that he feels too close to this person. It seems that Zhu Li can naturally give him an attraction of "throwing himself into her arms".
It seemed as if fate had determined that the young general of the Tang army before him was his best and only destination in this life.
Zhu Li's current temperament is very peculiar. He is surrounded by the energy of the yellow dragon, which has the effect of intimidating heroes. He is also secretly influenced by the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so it is inevitable that Lu Bu has this feeling. The Classic of Mountains and Seas is the nemesis of these reborn heroic souls.
Reminded by the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Zhu Li knew that the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Lu Bu. He frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't have a very good impression of this person, but Lu Fengxian also gave him a very friendly feeling, as if this person, like Guo Qizuo, was also his brother.
When he met Moheduo, he was extremely surprised. How could such a strong man suddenly appear from a small tribe? If it was Lu Bu standing behind them, then everything would be understandable.
Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines. People who grow up with the brave general Lu Bu will naturally become stronger, not to mention that Mo Heduo’s talent in martial arts is not bad.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be a Han Chinese. How come you suddenly appeared outside the Great Wall and became the adopted son of the leader of Shiwei?" Zhu Li looked solemn, and couldn't help feeling a little angry at him for not fighting back.
To outsiders, Zhu Li's question was very abrupt, but Lu Bu did not feel disgusted at all. He quickly explained, "My name is Lu Fengxian. When I was young, I was kidnapped by the Di people and taken to the frontier. I was far away from my homeland.
Fortunately, my father Khan saved me and I am still alive today."
"Out of gratitude, he recognized him as his father and stayed in the Mengwu tribe to help him protect the tribe."
Every nation has its own heroes, and Moheduo is undoubtedly the hero of the Menggu Shiwei.
Lu Fengxian's explanation made Zhu Li feel relieved. The Di people ravaged the northern border and plundered people by nature. Even Gao Su, Huo Qing and Wang had been plundered by the Di people and taken to the northern border. It was not surprising that Lu Fengxian had such an experience.
"I heard that the general defeated my father Khan. I, Lu, am incompetent, but I am willing to use myself as a hostage in exchange for my father Khan. Is that possible?" The appearance of Zhu Li seemed to bring a ray of hope to Lu Fengxian's chaotic life.
It’s like a poor man who has tried everything but failed to get rich, suddenly finds a way to marry a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman and reach the peak of his life. How could he be willing to miss it
But the reality was so cruel. Zhu Li not only injured Mo Heduo, but also captured him alive. It was impossible for him to join the other party openly. After thinking about it, he rashly made such a request.
"No, my son, you must not do this. Your father is already old, and the tribe still needs your protection. You must not ignore your own safety for your father."
Before Zhu Li responded to Lü Fengxian's request, Mo Heduo, who was tied up and guarded in front of the Shuozhou guards, shouted to Lü Fengxian anxiously.
Old. Upon hearing this, Zhu Li looked at Mo Heduo in surprise. Mo Heduo was no more than thirty-four or thirty-five years old, and was in the prime of his life. He actually called himself an old father. If this happened in later generations, it would be really laughable.
But in ancient times, a man could call himself an old man after he reached the age of 30. No one would be surprised if he said he was old.
Lu Fengxian remained unmoved by Mo Heduo's advice. He still looked at Zhu Li calmly, hoping that he would agree.
Zhu Li had very complicated feelings when facing Lu Fengxian. Since the Shanhaijing classified him as a heroic soul who saved the people in the present world, he would naturally be Zhu Li's subordinate in the future, and he could not just ignore him.
Besides, agreeing to Lu Fengxian also has its benefits, namely, it fulfills the other party's filial piety and righteousness, and also gains a brave general. There is no need to elaborate on Lu Fengxian's might. Except for Wu Dao, this Lu Fengxian will become the most powerful general in Shuozhou, and no one should object to it.
Thinking of this, Zhu Li made a decision. He turned around and ordered the guards, "Untie them and release them."
His sudden order frightened Li Han. At this moment, he no longer cared about etiquette and said anxiously, "General, General, you can't do this."
When Zhu Li saw that it was Li Han, he immediately became confused. What was wrong with him? He looked at the other person with a puzzled look.
Facing Zhu Li's gaze, Li Han quickly explained: "General, even if you are magnanimous and considerate of this young man's filial piety, you should tie him up first. If we release Mo Heduo and this young man turns against us, what should we do?"
Li Han's worries were not unreasonable, but Lu Bu was a general mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Zhu Li had blind confidence in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and he was not afraid at all that the other party would go back on his word.
Because until now, among all the generals who were attributed to the Shanhaijing as being here to help the people, none has rebelled.
He smiled indifferently at Li Han and said: "It's okay, I believe in Lu Fengxian."
