The life of the character
Thank you for forgiving.
Ji Bu, a native of Chu, is a warm and interested man. He is very famous in Chu State. [2] Xiang Yu sent him to lead the army and repeatedly embarrassed Hanwang Liu Bang. After the demise of Xiang Yu, Liu Bang offered a reward for the capture of Lu Bu, and ordered anyone who dared to harbor Lu Bu to destroy the three clans. [3] Ji Bu is hiding in a family named Zhou in Puyang. [4]
The Zhou family said, "Your Majesty has offered a reward for your arrest. It is urgent. The follow-up search will come to my house. General, if you can listen to me, I dare to give you a plan. " If not, I'd rather kill myself first. "[5] Ji Bu promised him. The Zhou family shaved off Lu Bu's hair, tied his neck with an iron hoop, put on coarse clothes, put on a big truck, and sold him and dozens of Zhou slaves to Zhu Jialai in Lu. [3] [6]
Knowing that it was Kibo, the Zhujiajian family bought it and put it in the field for cultivation, and warned his son, "You must obey this servant's orders and eat the same food as him." [3]
Jibu
Zhujiajian came to Luoyang in a light carriage, and paid a visit to you Yinhou. [8] Xia Houying lived in Zhujiajian for several days. Jia Zhu took the opportunity to say to Xia Houying, "What big crime did Lu Bu commit, and your majesty was so anxious to hunt him down?" [9] Xia Houying said: "Lu Bu has embarrassed your majesty for Xiang Yu many times, and your majesty bears a grudge against him. You must catch him before giving up. [10] "Zhujiajian said," What do you think of Ji Bu? [1 1] "Xia Houying said," He is a talented person. [1 1] "Zhu Jiajian said:" Being a vassal belongs to his own master, and Ji Bu belongs to Xiang Yu, which is completely within his duties. Can Xiang Yu kill all the soldiers and crabs? Your majesty has just won the world, why do you want to show the world that you are narrow-minded only by pursuing a person based on personal grievances? Besides, with the talent of Lu Bu, your majesty's pursuit is so urgent. In this way, he either fled north to Xiongnu or south to Vietnam. This hatred of warriors and aid to enemy countries is the reason why Wu Zixu flogged King Chu Ping's body. Why not find a chance to explain it to your majesty? " [ 12]
Xia Houying knew that the Zhujiajian family were all heroes, and guessed that Ji Bu must be hiding in his place, so he vowed, "Good." [13] Waiting for an opportunity, I really told Liu Bang what Zhu meant. Liu Bang then pardoned Lu Bu. At that time, many celebrities praised Jibu for being strong and submissive, and Zhujiajian Island became famous at that time. Later, Lu Bu was summoned by Liu Bang and pleaded guilty. Liu bang appointed him as a doctor. [3] [ 14]
Send troops after blocking.
During the reign of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, Ji Bu served as a corps commander. Xiongnu Khan once wrote an insulting letter to Lv Hou, and made rude remarks. Empress Lu was furious and called all the generals to discuss the matter. [15] General Fan Kuai said, "I am willing to lead a hundred thousand troops and sweep the Huns." People pandered to Lv Hou's wishes and said in unison, "Good." [16] Lu Bu said, "Fan Kuai should be beheaded! At that time, Gao Di (referring to Liu Bang) led 400,000 troops and was still besieged in Pingcheng. Now how does Fan Kuai's 100,000-strong army sweep the Huns? This is lying to your face! Besides, the Qin Dynasty beat the Huns, which led to the rebellion of Chen Sheng and others. Until now, the wound has not healed, and Fan Kuai is still trying to make the world unstable by flattering her face to face. [17] "At this point, the generals in the temple were frightened, so Lv Hou retired from the DPRK and finally stopped talking about attacking the Huns. [ 18]
Harnessing Hedong
When Ji Bu became the chief of Hedong and Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, some people said that he was very talented, so Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty summoned him and planned to appoint him as an ancient scholar. Others say he is brave, but he is drunk and inaccessible. [19] Jibu came to the capital Chang 'an and stayed in the guest house for a month. After being summoned by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, he was sent back to the original county. So, Lu Bu said to Wendi, "I didn't make any contribution, but I got your favor and worked in Hedong County. Now that your majesty summoned me for no reason, someone must have falsely praised me for deceiving your majesty; Now that I have come to Beijing, I have given up and sent it back to the original county without accepting anything. Someone must have slandered me in front of you. Your majesty summoned me because of a person's praise, and asked me to go back because of a person's slander. I am afraid that people of insight in the world will have a glimpse of the depth of your handling of people. " [20] Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty kept silent and felt very embarrassed. After a long time, he said, "Hedong is the most important county for me, just like my thighs and arms, so I specially summoned you!" " Therefore, Lu Bu bid farewell to Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty and returned to his original post as the chief of Hedong County. [2 1]
Liu Bang, a famous man in the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty, was unable to strike back, leaving Emperor Wendi speechless.

There was a gentleman in Chu named Cao Qiu, who was good at rhetoric and eloquence, and repeatedly relied on his power to make money. [22] once served Zhao's peers and had a friendship with Dou Changjun. Hearing this, Lu Bu sent a letter to persuade Dou Changjun: "I heard that Mr. Cao Qiu is not a respected person, so you should not associate with him." [23] When Mr. Cao Qiudao returned to his hometown, he wanted Dou Changjun to write a letter to introduce him to Ji Bu. Dou Changjun said, "General Ji doesn't like you, so don't go." [24] Cao Qiu insisted that Dou Changjun write a letter of introduction, and finally got it, so he set off. [25] Cao Qiudao first sent a letter of introduction from Dou Changjun to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was really furious after receiving the letter, waiting for Cao Qiudao's arrival. [26] When Cao Qiu arrived, he bowed to Lu Bu and said, "The Chu people have a saying,' It is better to get a promise from Lu Bu than a hundred catties of gold." How can you have such a reputation in Liangchu area? Besides, I'm from Chu, and so are you. Because I spread your name everywhere and everyone knows it. Isn't my role to you important? Why did you refuse me so firmly? [27] Lu Bu was very happy and invited Cao Qiu to stay for several months, treating him as the most distinguished guest and giving him a generous gift. Ji Bu is famous, which is the result of Cao Qiu's propaganda for him!
