Chapter 827: Both soft and hard tactics(1/2)
"This girl, I have never seen her practice so hard."
Yanmen Pass is located in a mansion covering an area of 300 acres in the east district of Guancheng. In a pavilion in the huge back garden, Lu Bu happily took a sip of spiritual tea and looked at his daughter who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating and recovering.
, thought happily.
Indeed, if Lu Lingqi had worked so hard since she first entered cultivation, it would not be surprising that she would not only be at the peak of the three-star intermediate level now, but also become a top three-star practitioner.
In the past half month, Lu Lingqi has devoted herself to practicing the formations during the day. When she gets tired, she immediately meditates and practices the exercises to restore her energy and spirit, and the cycle starts again and again.
Now, she is only one step away from being able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm and become a three-star advanced practitioner.
Not only that, she also completed the runes of five five-element basic formations in the sea of consciousness and became a two-star junior formation mage.
This half month of practice has already caught up with the results of her previous half year of practice.
Lu Bu dotes on his only daughter very much, and truly gives her whatever she wants.
For example, two years ago, when she wanted a cub of a monster tiger, Lu Bu spent three days going deep into the huge Taihang Mountains alone, taking advantage of a couple of four-star top monsters, the Black Wind Tiger, to go out.
He stole one of the strongest Black Wind Tiger cubs and came back.
It's not that he doesn't want to get back one more, the problem is that it's okay for you to steal one cub, but once you steal two, it will easily lead to endless revenge from the other party.
Although Lu Bu is very good and his fighting ability can surpass the challenge, he can never beat two top four-star big monsters.
Moreover, in the extremely huge Taihang Mountains, there are not only two top-level four-star black wind tiger demons, but also at least a dozen of them at the same level.
If the other party joins forces to retaliate, Lu Bu won't even have a chance to escape.
This has already been a huge risk.
Fortunately, that adventure went deep into the Taihang Mountains, which was like a wild area, and Lu Bu was lucky enough to find the spiritual root of a thousand-year-old three-star tea tree.
Today, the spiritual root of the tea tree that is twenty feet tall and planted in his back garden is Lu Bu's most cherished spiritual plant.
He has been drinking Samsung Spirit Tea for two years, and now his mental strength has greatly increased. Even his IQ has improved a lot, and his temper is not as bad as before.
It can be said that he is able to have the power he has today and develop rapidly because of the spiritual root of this three-star tea tree.
Even her daughter Lu Lingqi has also enjoyed the blessings. With the calming effect of Samsung Spirit Tea, her originally fiery temperament has now become more knowledgeable and sensible.
In terms of cultivating the mind and character, Lu Bu has never seen a better spiritual plant than this three-star tea tree spiritual root.
In this luxurious mansion, there is a three-star intermediate spirit gathering array, which ensures that the growth of the three-star tea tree's spiritual roots will not deteriorate.
However, because he did not have a three-star senior spiritual planter under his command, nor did he have any special resources to cultivate it, the spiritual plant tea tree did not continue to upgrade and evolve.
Maybe after thousands of years, he can be promoted to a three-star high-grade tea tree, but Lu Bu simply can't wait that long.
"Hey! It would be great if anyone in my army could break through and become a three-star advanced formation master or spiritual planter. This tea tree spiritual root would have the possibility of promotion."
"That kid Wang Qiang probably has the potential, but I don't know how long it will take."
Lu Bu looked at the lush Lingcha tree and sighed secretly.
A four-star cultivator is in the realm of refining gods.
As the name suggests, it is mainly about cultivating the soul and spiritual power.
Any treasure of heaven, material and earth that can enhance mental power and soul without any loss is priceless.
And this thousand-year-old tea tree is one of them.
If it can evolve and upgrade, it will be of great help to Lu Bu.
"General, Wei Xu is here with a guest."
At this time, a soldier came to report and said, "He is from Taiyuan."
He added.
After saying this, he looked at his general with some worry.
This is already the governor's office in Taiyuan. On the third day, someone came to visit, and...
"Hmph..."
Lu Bu snorted coldly, thought for a moment, and said, "Let Wei Xu take him to the living room."
He became increasingly dissatisfied with Wei Xu, his brother-in-law.
It's okay to accept gifts. After all, someone gives you a gift. If you don't accept it, it's nothing.
But this brother-in-law, who didn't know what was wrong, actually encouraged himself to become a disciple of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou.
If it had been before last year, for the sake of the soldiers who had no food and clothing, so that everyone would not starve to death or freeze to death, Lu Bu might have agreed.
But he succeeded in the first battle, and now he lacks nothing. Even the original 90,000 defenders have been expanded to a full force of 300,000 troops.
Nowadays, two elite cavalry have been formed, and another one is being formed. There is no shortage of armor and weapons. Daizhen and Yanmenguan are prosperous. Why do they need to join the sect of a wealthy family and act as a lackey?
In the past six months, countless aristocratic families and dignitaries have come to win over me and extended invitations one after another, not just Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou.
In particular, the four major aristocratic families in Bingzhou, Zhang, Wang, Chen and Li, all sent people to invite themselves to join them.
However, today's soldiers have no worries about food and clothing, and their careers are prosperous. Why do they need to rely on other forces?
He has served as the guard general of Yanmen Pass for several years, but he has never received the full salary from the imperial court. 80% of the military salary was embezzled by the Taiyuan Governor's Office.
This made Lu Bu almost fall into despair in the first two years.
Fortunately, he broke through to the four-star intermediate level in time, and his combat power increased sharply. He went on an adventure to hunt down two four-star intermediate level monsters, extracted a thousand Qi-blood pills and Jingyuan pills, and carefully selected eight hundred
All famous soldiers are trained to become two-star top soldiers.
Then he ordered Gao Shun to lead the newly established trap camp, and he took his generals out of Yanmen Pass to the north to attack the Huns from a long distance. He used fighting as a substitute for training. In just one or two months, he pushed the Huns 30,000 miles away!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not only did they kill hundreds of Huns tribes within a radius of 30,000 miles, and won a huge amount of loot, but they also saved tens of millions of Han people who were plundered by the Huns.
common people.
This desperate battle not only made him famous, but also gained countless wealth, and he also had enough reserve soldiers. Not only did he fill up the shortage of troops in one fell swoop, he also became a veritable rich man.
After a while, Lu Bu came to the living room under the leadership of his own soldiers.
"Brother-in-law, Butler Ding is here this time..."
As soon as he entered the living room and sat down, Wei Xu couldn't wait to sit down and said.
"Don't say anything. Are there no rules for guests now?"
Lu Bu's eyes turned cold and he scolded his brother-in-law.
He became more and more disappointed with this brother-in-law.
After only a few good days, have you forgotten the hateful faces of those wealthy families?
Originally, he thought Wei Xu was very good. Not only was he a three-star senior general, he was also good at leading troops in battles. Although he was far inferior to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, and Song Xian, he was still not as good as those above, but more than better than those below.
Unexpectedly, less than a year has passed since the good days. Not only does this guy have many beautiful concubines at home, he lives a luxurious life, and he has forgotten the humiliation he suffered before.
A few years ago, when I came to Yanmen Pass as a guard, I saw only 90,000 border officers who were destitute of food and clothing and could not even afford two meals a day.
I have submitted letters many times to demand payment, but the governor's office always finds excuses to delay it.
So much so that he was forced to panic, burnt all the boats, and finally solved the problem of survival of the soldiers.
Those aristocratic families who had previously looked down upon him as a martial artist suddenly changed their attitude. Not only did they send generous gifts, but they also used various methods to win over him.
"Well……"
Wei Xu was choked immediately, his face turned green and red, and he sat down awkwardly.
He received numerous generous gifts from the Governor's Mansion, including dozens of maids, and numerous goods. Originally, he was patting his chest and promising that this time he would convince his brother-in-law to defect to the Governor's Mansion.
Before he even opened his mouth, he was slapped in the face, and he immediately felt some resentment towards Lu Bu.
"General Lu!"
Butler Ding, who has become a mature man, immediately spoke to resolve the awkward atmosphere at the scene, "We in the governor's office are sincere."
"Our master has no children, so I will accept you as the son of a borer."
"If you agree, our governor's office will fully support you and report it to the court to take credit for your attack on the Huns last year."
He said with a smile, "General Lu, you have to understand that last year you attacked the Huns without permission from the court, and the Huns have been attached to our court for thousands of years."
"This matter can be big or small. It is both a good thing and a bad thing. You have to think clearly about it."
In the previous two times, Lu Bu failed to make any progress. This time he got instructions from Ding Yuan and was ready to use both soft and hard tactics to force Lu Bu to submit.
The prestige of the Han Dynasty is still at its peak. Although it has begun to decline, no one can blatantly challenge the rules.
"you……"
Lu Bu was furious when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and finally resisted the urge to slap the old dog to death.
"Okay, you go back and tell your master that I want to think about it and give him an answer next year at the latest."
He suppressed his anger, thought for a while, and said to Butler Ding.
Indeed, once Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, deliberately creates difficulties, it will be difficult for him to move forward in the future.
In the future, not only will there be no chance of promotion, but there is a high possibility that he will be dismissed from his post as the guard general of Yanmen Pass.
