Chapter 30, Cao Cao's calculations
The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more angry he became, so he rode to Cao Cao's mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"General Lu is here, I'll go and inform my lord." The doorman said and ran into the house.
Soon, Cao Cao trotted out, "Brother Fengxian is here, Cao Cao has lost his welcome, atoning for his sins!" β
"Brother Meng De is polite." Lu Bu also smiled and arched his hand.
"Let's go, let's go into the house, we won't get drunk today." Cao Cao took Lu Bu's hand and walked towards the mansion.
Soon, the two sat down.
"Brother Meng De, I'm not here to ask you for a drink today." Lu Bu said.
"Oh, then I don't know why Brother Fengxian is here?" Cao Cao asked.
"I have something I want to ask Brother Mengde." Lu Bu said.
"Please." Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu and said.
Lu Bu took a sip of water and said slowly, "That's the case, I was going to Xiangguo's Mansion today to ask for peace, but on the way, I saw the subordinates of Xiangguo's Mansion actually leading the war horses of the nine generals under my command. β
"I went up to ask what was going on, and they said that these horses were just very similar to the horses of Zhang Liao and others."
Cao Cao muttered, "Could it really be that these horses are really just like their horses, as they say?" β
"Impossible!" Lu Bu shook his head. "I may admit that other people's horses are wrong, but I will never be wrong about Zhang Liao's horses. Because I personally chose his horse. β
"Oh?" Cao Cao frowned and pondered.
At this time, Lu Bu continued, "Then I wanted to go into the Prime Minister's Mansion to see what was going on, but those hateful doormen didn't let me in. β
"The more I thought about it, the more strange it became. So I came to Brother Meng De to ask what was going on. β
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Brother Fengxian, it seems that Xiangguo is already suspicious of you." β
"Why would he be suspicious of me?" Lu Bu didn't understand.
"Do you remember yesterday when you tried to kill a doorman?" Cao Cao said.
"Is it because of this incident that my father-in-law began to doubt me?" Lu Bu was very angry.
"Not only because of this, but also because of the person who appeared in Xiangguo's mansion recently and is more powerful than Brother Fengxian. His appearance makes Sangkook pay much less attention to you. In the past, you were the trump card in Xiangguo's hand, but the appearance of this person made things that were originally none other than you become both you and him. Even Sangkook trusts him so much that he is more important than you. β
"In addition, Xiangguo didn't trust you very much in the first place, and now you are a chicken rib to Xiangguo, and it's a pity to abandon it if you eat it!"
"And today's incident, it can be seen that Xiangguo is ready to give up Brother Fengxian."
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Bu asked.
"There are the mounts of the long-lost general under your command in front of the Xiangguo Mansion, it must be because they have been invited by the Xiangguo. As for why you don't invite Brother Fengxian, it is naturally to guard against you. I'm sure that Sangkook will definitely get the power of your army from them, and then empty you, and finally get rid of you! β
When Lu Bu heard this, he stood up directly and threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, "Dong Zhuo, old thief, I am loyal to you, you actually harm me secretly, I will never die with you!" β
After speaking, Lu Bu hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De farewell!" β
"Wait, what does Brother Fengxian want?" Cao Cao stood up and asked.
"Of course, I will rush into Xiangguo's Mansion with my Fang Tian Painting Halberd and fight to the death with that old thief!" Lu Bu's eyes showed a fierce light.
"No, absolutely not!" Cao Cao hurriedly said.
"Why not?" Lu Bu was puzzled.
"Brother Fengxian, do you think that even if you rush into Xiangguo's mansion now, do you think you can kill Dong Xiangguo?" Cao Cao said, "If you think about the person who is more powerful than you, maybe he is close to Dong Zhuo to protect him." You are going here as much as you are looking for death. β
When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly woke up, "Thank you Brother Meng De for reminding me, otherwise today will be my Lu Bu's death day." But what should I do? β
"Brother Fengxian, the most important thing now is not Dong Zhuo's life, but the army under your command. If it falls into the hands of Dong Zhuo, then you will really be in trouble. β
"Haha!" Lu Bu laughed suddenly, "Brother Meng De is too worried!" My generals will never betray me! Not to mention that Zhang Liao and I have a very good relationship, but to say that Gao Shunzhi's loyalty is incomparable. β
When Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head and said, "Brother Fengxian, you are too naΓ―ve. As the saying goes, you can't do without the heart of defense. Even if they really won't betray you, there's no guarantee that Dong Zhuo will do anything! β
Lu Bu listened and nodded, "Yes, then what should I do?" β
"Now Yuan Shao has raised troops in Pingyang and summoned all the princes to fight against Dong Zhuo. If Feng Xian can lead an army to join the crusade army, it can not only increase the prestige of the allies, but also weaken Dong Zhuo's strength. When the time comes, if Feng Xian can make a great contribution, it is not impossible to pay homage to the marquis! β
Although Cao Cao was giving advice to Lu Bu, he was actually planning for himself. He had a crush on Lu Bu's army. If he had this army, he would have a place in the Allied forces.
As for Lu Bu? That is, a cup of poisoned wine.
However, Cao Cao's words went to Lu Bu's heart, and he was a marquis and paid homage to the prime minister, who wouldn't want to?
"Mende's proposal is good. Let's do it! Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Then without further ado, let's go out of the city, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Cao Cao got up as he spoke, ready to leave.
"Out of town now?" Lu Bu was stunned.
"Could it be that there is something else going on in Fengxian?"
"I'll have to take my family with me. And the 1,000 soldiers I have in the city have to take them with them. Lu Bu said.
"You can't take them with you!" Cao Cao said.
"You're telling me to leave them alone?" Lu Budao, "This can't be! β
"Bongxian! If you take your family and gather your 1,000 soldiers again, it will definitely alarm Dong Zhuo! Do you think it's possible for us to leave Luoyang City at that time? Cao Cao said anxiously.
"However, it is really a bit ...... for me to abandon my wife and daughter," Lu Bu was puzzled.
"Brother Fengxian, why is the eldest husband without a wife, waiting for you to be crowned a marquis, the beauties of the world are at your disposal!" Cao Cao said bewildermently.
With Cao Cao's temptation, Lu Bu suddenly made up his mind, "Okay, I'll leave with Meng De." But I have to bring my Fang Tian Painting Halberd with me! β
Fang Tian's halberd was Lu Bu's life, how could he lose it.
"Okay, I'll go with you to get it." Cao Cao nodded, and at the same time did not forget to instruct, "But when the time comes, Feng Xian must not be a child and daughter, take the Fang Tian painting halberd, and leave immediately!" β
Cao Cao was really worried that Lu Bu would make a mistake because of his children's affection. Now is the time to race against time, otherwise let Dong Zhuo control that army, and his Cao Cao's plan will be in vain.
Lu Bu nodded emphatically. He also knows that the situation is urgent.
Soon, Cao Cao and Lu Bu came to Lu Bu's mansion together. Lu Bu took Fang Tian's halberd, and without saying a word, he turned over and left with Cao Cao.
