Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

It was late at night, and the people who were holding the dancers had already gone to their guest rooms to sleep. Dong Zhuo also returned to his room with his new concubine. Niu Fu went to find his wife again. Duan Wei had a house in Mei County and went home alone.

As Dong Zhuo's bodyguard, Lu Bu can only live in Dong Zhuo's mansion for the time being. Li Su, on the other hand, has made great contributions following Lu Bu this time and has been promoted to military officer. He leads 500 newly recruited Qiang soldiers and lives in the military camp outside the city. Wei Xu temporarily serves under Li Su as a garrison commander.

A servant came to lead Lu Bu to the guest room. The two walked out of the hall and around a small path in the flower garden on the left, they saw a person walking towards them. It was Dong Zhuo's youngest daughter Dong Qing.

Dong Qing, holding a clay pot in her arms, saw Lü Bu kneel and bow. In the dim light of the lantern held by the maidservant, she looked at Lü Bu's handsome face and asked, "Why didn't the young general hug the dancer?"

Lu Bu: "..."

This young lady is as fierce as her father!

Lu Bu said calmly, "I am still in mourning."

Dong Qing smiled with satisfaction on his heroic face, "The young general is not only a hero, but also a filial son!"

"My lady, you are too kind. Bu is not a hero!"

Seeing Dong Qing staring at him intently, Lu Bu had a bad feeling in his heart. He didn't want to get involved with other women, so he bowed and said, "It's getting late, my lady, please go back and rest. Goodbye!"

Lu Bu was about to leave when Dong Qing reached out and blocked his way. She thrust the jar into Lu Bu's arms and said, "This is the hangover soup I made for my father. I'm a little late. Take this and drink it!"

"This……"

Lu Bu handed the can back, "I don't need to sober up, thank you my lady!"

"Then drink it as water!"

"I'm not thirsty." Lu Bu stubbornly stretched out his hand holding the jar and said it with a sincere look on his face.

"You, you blockhead!" Dong Qing snorted angrily, picked up the jar and turned to leave.

Lu Bu saw that she was angry, but he didn't take it to heart and followed the servant to the guest room to rest.

Lying on the couch, he took out the "Biography of Wen Tianxiang" from his arms and opened it carefully. Every word in it was written by A-Mo for him. Although the handwriting was not very beautiful, every stroke was full of her love. He really missed her very much.

Now I just hope that His Majesty will pass away soon. When Situ Wang returns to Luoyang, I can follow Dong Zhuo to the capital and see A-mo again. There are still nearly three years left, and I don’t know what A-mo will look like by then.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu sat up again, opened the door, asked the servant to get pen, ink, cloth and silk, and began to write a letter to Zhang Mo.

The next morning, Lu Bu sealed the bamboo tube of credit and went to find the steward of Dong Zhuo's house, asking him to help deliver it to the post station.

It’s not that Lu Bu is lazy, but the post stations in that era only delivered official letters. Commoners had no right to send letters through the post stations. What’s more, Lu Bu was not even a commoner now, so he could only borrow Dong Zhuo’s relationship.

Steward Dong took the bamboo tube and the address and said readily, "Don't worry, young general. I'll deliver it to you today."

"Thank you very much, sir!" Lu Bu bowed.

"You're welcome, young general!"

Steward Dong put the bamboo tube into his sleeve and said to the servant beside him, "I'm afraid the young general is hungry. Quickly take him to have breakfast."

Lu Bu followed the servant away. Steward Dong was about to go to the study to stamp the letter when Dong Qing came from behind a bunch of flowers, stared at Steward Dong's sleeve and said, "But General Lu wants to send a letter? I'm going out of town to ride my horse, so I'll take it to the post station for you on the way."

Dong Qing grew up in Liangzhou and had learned to ride horses well. She would go out of town every day for a ride. Steward Dong didn't suspect anything and handed her the letter, instructing her, "Go to the study and get your seal on it first."

"Know it!"

Dong Qing took the letter and went straight back to her room. She first looked at the address: Zhang Mo, Juyi Village, outside the east city of Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, Bingzhou.

"It's a girl? Could she be his lover?"

Yesterday, Dong Qing fell in love with Lu Bu at first sight. Before the banquet started, she asked her brother-in-law Niu Fu for all the relevant information about Lu Bu. After hearing that he had broken through the three enemy formations by himself and shot and killed many enemy generals, her admiration for Lu Bu became more and more uncontrollable. She also asked about his past.

Dong Qing thought that although Lü Bu was a fugitive, he had made great contributions this time, and with her father's support, his future was limitless. She was already at the age of marriage, and if she could marry Lü Bu, she would be much better off than her sister.

My brother-in-law has no ability, is timid and afraid of death, and looks ordinary. He is in no way comparable to Lu Bu.

Thinking that Zhang Mo might be Lu Bu's lover, Dong Qing no longer hesitated. He scraped open the seal of the bamboo tube with a knife, took out the cloth and began to look at it.

The more she read, the more sad she felt, and at the same time, she liked Lu Bu more and more. She didn't expect that this iron-blooded man also had such a tender side. Between the lines, there was his longing and concern for the woman.

After reading the letter, Dong Qing hesitated for a while, took a flint to light the candle, put the letter on the fire, and in a moment it burned to ashes.

Over there, after Lu Bu had breakfast, Dong Zhuo and others also got up one after another. This group of people were in really good physical condition. They exercised all night last night and were still full of energy when they got up this morning.

Most of the soldiers in the army were on leave and went home, but the newly recruited surrendered soldiers had not yet been arranged. After Dong Zhuo and others finished their meal, they left the city and went to the military camp together.

Dong Zhuo now has a total of 10,000 soldiers under his command, including 4,000 infantry, led by Dong Yue and Duan Wei with 2,000 each; 6,000 cavalry, including 3,352 newly recruited Qiang soldiers. Almost all the original generals of these surrendered soldiers were shot dead by Lu Bu. It can be said that they are a group of leaderless scattered soldiers. All the generals under Dong Zhuo are waiting to be divided.

However, Dong Zhuo obviously had plans for the arrangements of the new recruits.

"This time, our army was able to successfully break through the encirclement and defeat the rebels. Fengxian should be credited with the greatest merit. Although Fengxian is guilty, I have reported his achievements to the court, and I believe he will be exonerated soon. I propose to temporarily appoint him as the Sima of another department, assign him two thousand surrendered soldiers, and divide the rest between Wencai and Zizuo. Do you have any objections?"

Dong Zhuo's current military rank is not high. When he went to Jizhou to suppress the Yellow Turbans, he was a fourth-rank General of the Central Army. This time, when he suppressed the rebellion in Liangzhou, he was a General of the Central Army. Because he failed to achieve any merit, he was demoted to a fifth-rank General of Breaking the Enemy.

Not to mention Dong Zhuo, even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who made great military achievements in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, were only given the position of General of the Central Army by the court. After the war, their military positions were taken away and they were only awarded titles.

At that time, the rank of General of the Central Army and Colonel was very valuable. The highest position Dong Zhuo could give him was only the military commander of his subordinates. His current military commanders included Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Duan Wei, Dong Yue, and the newly appointed Lu Bu.

Even Hua Xiong, Li Que, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji were only at the military officer level now, while Liu Jing was the Sima of Anding County. Because of the rebellion in Liang Province, he was temporarily under the command of Dong Zhuo and was not considered a relative of Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu, a new criminal, was suddenly promoted to the position of Sima, and his lord gave him two thousand soldiers at one time. Naturally, everyone was dissatisfied, and the first one to jump out and oppose was Hu Zhen.
