Chapter 7: Ambivalence (Asking for Support, Asking for Votes)

Lu Bu thought back to the civil officials in the court today.

The only ones who can resist Situ Wang Yun, help him win over civil officials, and stabilize the court are only one of the three dukes, Taiwei Zhao Qian and Sikong Zhang Wen.

Sikong Zhang Wen was killed by Dong Zhuo only two days ago, and Zhao Qian, the chief lieutenant, was a weak person and could not convince the public.

In addition to the three dukes, there are only the officials of Jiuqing, Taichang Ma Riyan, Taifu Lu Kui, and Dahonglu Zhou Huan.

Lu Bu thought about it again and again and decided to win over Taichang Ma Riyan.

It's just my own identity, it's very sensitive. If you take the liberty of visiting, you will definitely attract attention.

What's more, Ma Riyan will not easily believe in himself.

There was no friendship, so he came to the door rashly, and then discussed such a thing as killing Dong Zhuo.

I'm afraid that people will doubt their motives, for fear that they are blackmailing him and want to take the opportunity to slander him.

Hey, in the end, it's my own team that is weak. It's hard to find a trustworthy advisor to help you with your advice.

Then again, where is that guy from Chen Gong now?

I remember that after he fell out with Cao Cao, he seemed to have taken refuge in Chen Liutai's guard Zhang Miao.

I don't know if I can send someone to invite him now.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Lu Bu himself knew that it was impossible for the time being.

At the beginning, he resigned and followed Cao Cao because he couldn't get used to Dong Zhuo's evil deeds.

Now that he is an eagle dog under Dong Zhuo, how can he take refuge in himself.

Ay!

Lu Bu returned to the Hou Mansion with a sigh on his face.

The guard at the door hurriedly stepped forward to pull the hemp rope, and the other brought a stool from inside the door for Lu Bu to dismount.

Stepping on the stool, Lu Bu felt very inconvenient.

In this era, the saddle already had a sling.

It is convenient for people to get on and off the horse.

But there is only one side, and it is only a knot made of rope.

In fact, it is still inconvenient, and there are great hidden dangers.

If conditions permit, they are all brought by domestic slaves to make it easier to get on and off the horse.

Lu Bu thought in his heart.

There is an opportunity to call for stirrups and horseshoes so that the power of the cavalry can be better used.

For the eradication of Dong Zhuo, it is more certain to defeat the Xiliang army.

But this thing has to be done quietly.

After all, whether it is a stirrup or a horseshoe, as long as it is an expert at a glance, it is clear about the effect, and it is even easier to imitate.

That is, you can give yourself a little help in the early stage, so you should use it at critical moments.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but think of the state army.

Since killing Ding Yuan, he has controlled 20,000 and state troops.

In order to win over himself, Dong Zhuo is also responsible for the money and food of the state army, but it is to maintain the scale of 20,000.

It has never been expanded.

Although the strategy of division is adopted, there should not be a situation in history where Li Dao and them united to counterattack in order to survive.

But even that doesn't prevent it from happening again.

Although he can delay for a while, but for three or five months at most, he will inevitably kill Dong Zhuo.

In such a short period of time, it is difficult to train a strong army, especially since you don't have so much money and food to supply the army.

Something had to be done.

……

"Madame! Madame......"

The maid's shout, Diao Chan suddenly woke up.

She was so frightened that she quickly got up and went up and down.

Diao Chan found that the clothes on his body were still from last night, and he didn't seem to have any other discomfort except for his sore arms.

Did I fall asleep on my stomach here last night?

Lu Bu never came back?

Just when Diao Chan's heart was in turmoil, she heard a shout at the door.

"Madam, the slave has brought soup."

Hearing that it was the voice of the maid, Diao Chan hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." ”

She checked up and down to make sure there was nothing unusual before she spoke, "Come in." ”

Two maids came in with copper basins and kettles.

They placed the copper basin on a tripod stand, took out a box of salt, and a jade brush.

There was no toothpaste toothbrush in the Han Dynasty, and the best thing was to fill one end of a jade brush with willow branches, or a horsetail, and clean the teeth with green salt.

Diao Chan didn't know why Lu Bu snatched himself back and didn't touch himself.

But even if she didn't know, she was calm now.

Since they all promised their father-in-law that they would sacrifice their lives to repay their kindness, they had to work hard to complete it.

No matter what Lu Bu thinks, no matter what the situation is now, he must keep his best side so that he can cope with various situations.

Brush your teeth with some green salt and rinse your mouth with warm water to keep your mouth fresh.

Diao Chan washed his face with a towel to make himself more sober and rejuvenated.

After packing up, Diao Chan asked, "What about the general?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, Master Hou went out early in the morning."

When Diao Chan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Do you know where he went?" ”

"It's not for a slave to ask!"

Diao Chan immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to escape.

She looked left and right for a while, and said, "I came in a hurry last night, and I didn't even have a change of clothes." I'll go back to Situ Mansion to pack a few clothes first! ”

The maid hurriedly stopped and said, "Madam, Master Hou has ordered." You are not allowed to go out of this door. ”

Diao Chan immediately put on a straight face and scolded: "Shut up." Is it your turn to call the shots, you girl? ”

"Slaves deserve to die. Please forgive me! ”

Wenhou Lu Bu's temper was very irritable before, and the maid slave was a little lazy, but he was directly killed.

The maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Diao Chan was so busy escaping that he wasn't in the mood to deal with a maid at all.

She stepped on her feet and wanted to go out. I was about to walk out of the room.

Suddenly, two halberds crossed each other, blocking the way.

"Madam, Master Hou has an order, don't let you go out, Madame."

Diao Chan pretended to be Lu Bu's side room, and scolded harshly: "You dare to stop me." Do you want to go against the grain? If you let Wen Hou know that you dare to deal with me like this, believe it or not, your head will not be guaranteed. ”

"Madam, Master Hou's order, the little one dare not disobey it. Madame, don't be embarrassed. ”

After saying that, the two guards directly closed the door again.

No matter how hard Diao Chan tries, he just can't open the door.

Diao Chan was angry and gritted his teeth.

forcibly abducted himself, and shut himself in his room.

What is this Lu Bu trying to do?

If Lu Bu is here, if she has a sword, if she can win against Lu Bu.

Be sure to stab him a few times first to relieve his anger.

Seeing that the maid was still kneeling on the ground, Diao Chan shouted, "What are you still kneeling here?" Prepare breakfast for Mrs. Ben, soup, and clean, well-fitting clothes. There is also rouge gouache. ”

The maid heard it, felt it get up from the ground, and said. "Yes, ma'am."

They hurried out with the brass basins in their hands, one of them to prepare the soup, and the other to the butler to think of how to prepare all the things that the lady wanted.

Lu Bu rode back to the Wenhou Mansion.

He dismounted and went straight to Diao's room.

Lu Bu came to the room and didn't see the crying Diao Chan.

I didn't see the indifferent Diao Chan even more.

What I saw was a brightly dressed, graceful and lovely Diao Chan.

Seeing Lu Bu, Diao Chan stood up and saluted. "The concubine comes to see her husband!"

After saluting, Diao Chan smiled, and the eyes of the wind were full of amorousness.

For the woman in front of him who suddenly became full of amorous feelings, Lu Bu grinned at the corners of his mouth.

If she was indifferent, or if she lost her temper, Lu Bu would not be vigilant.

Now that she has such a charming appearance, Lu Bu immediately became vigilant in his heart.

For Diao Chan, Lu Bu's heart was full of contradictions.

forcibly brought her back to the house, at first it was a little admiration for this woman, and I felt that she had done something that Cao Cao, Wu Fu and others could not do.

I want her ending to be better.

Of course, to say that there is no machismo and no greed for her beauty, then it would be hypocritical.

But he brought her home.

I'm starting to regret it a little bit.

This woman is a woman who can provoke infighting between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu in history, and the city government is definitely not ordinary.

Is it really good to marry such a woman by your side?

Can you trust her?

In such a contradictory mood, Lu Bu's attitude towards Diao Chan is also very contradictory.

He looked at Diao Chan and thought to himself about how to deal with her relationship.

was stared at by Lu Bu, and Diao Chan was also panicked.

What was he trying to do with staring at himself like this?

What kind of things do you want to do in the daytime?

What should I do then?

Twisting and greeting, stealing and reluctant?

Still is......

When Diao Chan's heart was in turmoil, Lu Bu seemed to have made up his mind, and he knelt on the wooden couch and put her body deed on the table.

Lu Bu stared at Diao Chan and said seriously: "You don't have to act, Situ has already recruited." ”

Diao Chan chuckled mentally, and with some panic, he pulled his hair with his hand and said, "What does the husband mean?" What's the trick? ”

Lu Bu clasped his hands, glanced at Diao Chan, and knocked out her last line of defense.

"Do you want me to say anything more about the beauty plan and provoke the relationship between Benhou and Taishi?"

When Diao Chan heard this, his face immediately turned pale.

She's flustered right now.

How could the father-in-law tell it all. Isn't this killing me?

What should I do now?
