Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Three days later, the team returned to Anding. Lu Bu couldn't wait to run to the camp to find Gao Shun. He originally wanted to bring two jars of wine, but then he remembered that Gao Shun in his dream didn't drink, so he had to give up.

Gao Shun was a little surprised by Lu Bu's arrival. He thought that Lu Bu had just said it casually that day, but he didn't expect that he would really come to find him.

Gao Shun was never good at talking, so he just clasped his fists in greeting and waited quietly for Lu Bu to speak.

Lu Bu was not very good at speaking, and his purpose in coming to Gao Shun was very clear, which was to kidnap someone.

"That day on the battlefield, Zi Yan and I hit it off instantly. I came here today to ask, are you willing to stay in Dong Zhuo's army and achieve great things with me?"

On his way there, Lü Bu thought of many ways to invite him, but he finally decided to invite him directly. Gao Shun was a straightforward person, and any roundabout ways would only disgust him.

Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu with a sincere expression, and Wannian Bingchuan's face was filled with astonishment.

He wondered, "We've only met once, why does Fengxian think so highly of me?"

Lu Bu said, "To be honest, I had a dream two years ago where an immortal appeared to me. Not only did she grant me extraordinary powers, she also told me many things about people, including you, Zi Yan. I not only know your courtesy name, but also where you are from and who is in your family."

"That day on the battlefield, Zi Yan remained calm in the face of danger and formed a battle formation to repel the enemy. I saw that you have extraordinary ability to command troops. However, you are only a small garrison commander in the Northern Army, with no place to display your skills. Why don't you find another way out?"

In order to make Gao Shun follow him willingly, Lu Bu could only tell him half-truthfully about the immortal's dream, otherwise Gao Shun would not stay for no reason.

Lu Bu told him a lot more information about Gao Shun, and also told him some of his past and his current status as a fugitive.

Gao Shun's glacial face collapsed again. An immortal appeared in his dream? How could such a ridiculous thing happen?

Lu Bu continued, "Now, with bandits and rebellions everywhere, it's time for you and me to make great achievements. In terms of martial arts, Ziyan is not as good as me, but in terms of military leadership, I am far inferior to Ziyan. If you and I can complement each other, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things."

Gao Shun hurriedly said, "Fengxian, you are being too modest. You served in the army in Wuyuan for many years, resisting the Hu people and guarding the border. I have only been a soldier for two or three years. How can I compare to you?"

Lu Bu shook his head. "I'm not being modest when I say this, nor am I flattering you. I'm certainly not as good as you in many areas. In fact, I understand your abilities better than you do yourself."

Lü Bu looked at him sincerely. "If you're willing to follow me, I'll ask the general to transfer you from the Northern Army. I can't guarantee what position you'll hold in Dong Zhuo's army, but I can promise that I won't let your abilities go to waste. This is my sincere invitation."

If Gao Shun held a higher official position, it would be difficult to transfer people out. Fortunately, he was only a village chief at that time. Considering Dong Zhuo's merits, it should be no problem for him to ask Zhang Wen for a small village chief position.

Gao Shun said, "Let me think about this matter again."

Although he said he would think about it again, Gao Shun had already made a decision in his heart.

To be honest, he was a little bored staying in the Northern Army. Luoyang was the world of the aristocratic families. Both civil and military positions were almost all controlled by the aristocratic families. He had talent but no place to use it.

However, Gao Shun was not sure whether he would be valued by Dong Zhuo.

During this period, he followed Dong Zhuo to suppress the rebellion and had a good understanding of this person. Although he loved talents, he was also a bit partial in employing people. If he had been the one commanding the troops that day, he would never have allowed the other side to break through the army formation. However, his position was too low and he could only watch and worry.

As for Lu Bu, this time he turned the entire battle situation around with his own strength and even beheaded the heads of the rebel generals on both sides. If he were not a criminal, this achievement would almost earn him a title of nobility. But looking at his current situation, if he follows Dong Zhuo, he can only be a military officer or a Sima at most. If I follow him, I guess I can only be a garrison commander.

Both sides are garrison commanders, and it seems that there is no difference where they are. However, after listening to the promise and sincerity that Lu Bu just made, and the feeling Lu Bu gave him during their two meetings, he seemed to have more of a general's demeanor than Dong Zhuo and even Zhang Wen.

Moreover, just because he said, "I know your abilities better than you know yourself", he was willing to follow him.

Lu Bu might be his mentor!

Thinking of this, Gao Shun clasped his fists and saluted, "I am willing to follow you, to quell the rebellion and achieve great things together!"

"Good!" Lu Bulang laughed loudly and stretched out a fist, "No regrets!"

Gao Shun countered with his fist and said firmly, "No regrets!"

The two men smiled at each other, and felt great pride in their hearts. One was helping an old friend, and the other was invited by a wise leader.

……

After recuperating for a few days, Dong Zhuo received an order from General Zhang Wen, ordering him to return to Youfufeng.

Five days later, the team returned to Mei County, Youfufeng. Just as Dong Zhuo arrived, Zhang Wen's imperial edict of conscription arrived. Dong Zhuo took Lu Bu to see Zhang Wen.

Although Dong Zhuo was very unhappy with Zhang Wen, this guy was now his immediate superior, and the imperial edicts that reached the emperor had to pass through his hands. Whether Lu Bu could successfully atone for his sins depended on him.

Outside the general's mansion, Sun Jian, who was serving as Zhang Wen's general, was quite surprised to see Dong Zhuo arrive early.

Dong Zhuo relied on his prestige in Liang Province. Although he was Zhang Wen's deputy general, he did not take the main general seriously at all. He was late when summoned several times. This time he had made great contributions, and he wanted to be even more proud. He thought that he would not be able to wait for him before noon, but he did not expect that he would arrive early in the morning.

"General Sun, what's wrong? You don't want to welcome me in?" Dong Zhuo looked at Sun Jian arrogantly.

A villain succeeds! Sun Jian muttered to himself, letting Dong Zhuo into the hall but stopping Lu Bu. "Please wait outside, my entourage."

Dong Zhuo turned around and snorted, "Which eye of yours saw that he was a follower?"

After that, he said directly to Lu Bu, "Fengxian, come in first, and leave him alone!"

Lu Bu followed him in. Sun Jian knew Dong Zhuo's character and did not try to stop him.

The two waited in the hall for a while, and Zhang Wen and the other generals who were sent to quell the rebellion also arrived one after another.

Dong Zhuo sat at the front desk on the right and bowed to Zhang Wen as a greeting.

Zhang Wen had long been accustomed to Dong Zhuo's attitude, so today he was quite polite by bowing.

Zhang Wen waved his hand, letting the others take their seats. He then opened the conversation, saying, "The rebels have all retreated to the various counties of Liang Province. They have dispersed and taken refuge in various places. It would take years to completely wipe them out. In recent years, disasters have plagued many places, and the national treasury is empty. Your Majesty does not wish to dwell on this matter any further."

"Furthermore, a few days ago, General Po Lu defeated Bei Gong Boyu and Bian Zhang at Wangyuan, severely demoralizing the rebels. I have sent an urgent report of this to Luoyang over 800 miles. His Majesty was greatly pleased and sent an imperial edict yesterday ordering us to return."

When they heard that the army was returning, everyone's faces lit up with joy. It had been a year and a half since the rebellion was suppressed in March last year. The soldiers were tired and everyone wanted to go back quickly.

Zhang Wen continued, "The Luoyang troops will be led directly back to Luoyang by this general. The rest of the county troops will be reassigned to their respective locations. Wherever you were stationed before, you will return to your respective bases tomorrow. The imperial court's rewards will be delivered to you in due course."

As he spoke, he unfolded a piece of cloth from the table. "This is the meritorious service you have rendered this time. I have written it down one by one. Please circulate it among you. If you have no objection, I will seal it with wax and send it to Luoyang."

An attendant came up and handed the memorial down. After everyone read it, no one objected. Only Dong Zhuo said, "General, please add one more person to my list."

Zhang Wen asked, "Who? If your subordinates have made great contributions, you can reward them yourself."

Dong Zhuo said, "This man's situation is rather special. He was originally a military officer in Wuyuan Commandery, Bingzhou. Because he committed a crime, he is now a wanted criminal by the imperial court. This time, the reason I was able to kill Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang was all thanks to this man. Without him, my entire army might have been wiped out. This time, we have a complete victory, and he deserves the primary credit."

He then pulled out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "I have written down the specific reasons here. Please submit this to Your Majesty."
