"In my opinion, Marquis Wen can use attending Liu Bei's wedding as an excuse to lead 500 elite troops to Xuzhou City a few days in advance."
Yang Ling suggested.
"Only 500 people? Isn't that too few?"
Lu Bu couldn't help but ask.
Liu Bei wanted to kill him. If he only brought 500 people, wouldn't it give him a chance to kill him?
"Marquis Wen doesn't know something. Liu Bei has always been coy. You only brought 500 people with you, and it was in the name of attending his wedding. How could he take action?"
"If you press the territory with a large army, it will actually make him wary."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
Lu Bu thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth, so he nodded and said,
"Then what?"
"After arriving in Xuzhou City, Marquis Wen can order his father-in-law, General Cao Bao, to contact those who are dissatisfied with Liu Bei and prepare secretly."
"Let General Wenyuan (Zhang Liao) lead another army to travel day and night to arrive in Xuzhou City on the day of Liu Bei's wedding."
"Under attack from both inside and outside, Liu Bei was caught off guard. He is no match for Marquis Wen!"
"At that time, Marquis Wen will not only be able to welcome back Lady Diaochan, but also be able to secure his position as Xuzhou Mu. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Yang Ling laughed.
Listening to the beautiful scenery he described, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile!
I didn't expect that this Chen Jinnan, although not famous, would be so resourceful.
I happen to lack such a person around me, why not recruit him?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu smiled affectionately and said,
"Mr. Jinnan, I wonder if you can get used to it at Mr. Cao's place?"
Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat.
What does Lu Bu mean by this?
Could it be that he was planning to recruit himself?
He quickly smiled and said,
"Mr. Cao has been very kind to me, and I feel very comfortable with him!"
"Ah, that's it, okay then."
Lu Bu nodded and said nothing more, but his heart was full of regret.
Pity.
If his daughter Lu Lingqi was still here, betrothing her to Yang Ling might be able to win him over.
I wonder if Lingqi and Diao Chan are together and how are they doing?
Looking at Lu Bu who suddenly fell silent, Yang Ling felt relieved.
joke.
Even if he didn't have an affair with Diao Chan, he wouldn't have come to seek refuge with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was suspicious and headstrong by nature, and the most outrageous thing was that he also liked his subordinates' wives!
When Lu Bu in Baimenlou was captured alive by Cao Cao, he complained dissatisfiedly,
"Treat all the generals well, but all the generals will rebel against Buer in times of crisis!"
He believed that he treated his subordinates very well. The defeat was not a matter of ability, but the sudden betrayal of his generals!
However, Cao Cao slapped him in the face and retorted,
"You carry your wife behind your back and love the generals' wives. Why should you be generous?"
You cheated on your wife, committed adultery with the wives of generals, and cuckolded your subordinates. How can you still be said to be kind to your subordinates?
…
Time passed day by day, and soon there were only three days left before Liu Bei and Mi Zhen's wedding.
Xuzhou City.
In the lobby.
Liu Bei, who had an honest look on his face, looked quite majestic in the high hall as Xuzhou Mu.
"Lu Bu just sent someone to deliver a letter. He will arrive in Xuzhou City today. What do you think?"
Liu Bei looked around at everyone and asked softly.
"Hey, this guy came just in time! Such an unjust person, just in time to kill him!"
Zhang Fei shouted.
"Third brother is right. The slaves with the third surname of Lu Bu are not good people. If you kill them, you will kill them."
Guan Yu, who had a rosy complexion, stroked his beard and said slowly.
Last time, Sun Qian was ordered by Liu Bei to go to Xudu to meet the emperor in order to obtain the official canonization.
Although Cao Cao was not happy, he finally followed Yang Ling's suggestion and made Liu Bei the Mu of Xuzhou through the emperor Liu Xie.
In addition, he also wrote a private letter to Liu Bei.
Cao Cao wrote in the letter that as long as Liu Bei kills Lu Bu, the previous feud with Tao Qian for killing his father will be wiped out!
After reading the letter, Liu Bei was a little confused.
He felt that this was Cao Cao's plan to sow discord and wanted him and Lu Bu to kill each other.
But his two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei disagreed.
In their opinion, whether it was Cao Cao's plan or not, there was nothing wrong with killing Lu Bu.
"The two generals are wrong."
Sun Qian on the side shook his head and said,
"What my lord said before is very reasonable. Cao Mengde is extremely treacherous. This move is clearly to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
Jian Yong also echoed,
"If we really kill Lu Bu, I'm afraid he won't stop attacking Xuzhou. Instead, we will keep Lu Bu. When Cao Mengde comes to attack in the future, we can also rely on each other."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said disdainfully,
"How can you rely on a mere Lu Bu? You are really confused!"
Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to quarrel with Sun Qian again, Liu Bei was afraid that a situation similar to Yang Ling would happen again, so he hurriedly stopped them.
"You all stop arguing!"
He paused and then another scholar in the hall said,
"Mr. Zizhong, what good advice do you have?"
Yes, this person is the current head of the Mi family, Mi Fang and Mi Zhen's brother Mi Zhu.
Hearing Liu Bei mention his name, Mi Zhu stood up calmly and said,
"My subordinates feel that even if they want to kill Lu Bu, it shouldn't be during these days. What do you think, my lord?"
Liu Bei took it seriously and nodded slightly.
"I think so too."
After all, these days were his wedding day. Lu Bu came here in the name of congratulations. If he really killed Lu Bu, wouldn't it make the world laugh at him?
Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't say anything more although they were unwilling to do so.
After taking a look at the sky, Liu Bei said,
"It's almost time. Let's go out of the city to meet Marquis Wen."
"Here!"
Everyone took the order together.
Liu Bei led everyone out of Xuzhou City and waited patiently outside the city.
Not long after, they saw billowing dust and smoke in front of them, as if a large number of cavalry were galloping towards them.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.
The two men hurriedly called their soldiers and ordered them to prepare to avoid any accident.
After a while, the cavalry team rushed to Liu Bei and others.
The leader wears a purple gold crown with three prongs on his head, a Xichuan red cotton flowered robe on his body, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, an exquisite lion belt tied around his waist, and a Fangtian painted halberd in his hand.
It's Lu Bu!
He glanced at Liu Bei's army, which was waiting for them, and felt a sudden thought.
But remembering Yang Ling's instructions, he immediately acted as if nothing had happened, reined in the reins, turned over and jumped off the horse.
"Bu came here today specifically to celebrate the envoy's wedding. The envoy won't blame me for disturbing him, right?"
Lu Bu laughed and stepped forward.
"Marquis Wen is serious, you can come to my wedding, it's not too late for me to be happy!"
Liu Bei also came forward to greet him cordially.
Seeing this situation, Lu Bu became very worried.
Chen Jinnan was indeed right. This Liu Bei was hypocritical and did not dare to kill himself on his wedding day!
the other side.
Seeing that there were only five hundred men following Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both breathed a sigh of relief.
They just thought that Lu Bu came to congratulate him sincerely, so they didn't take it to heart.
But whether it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, the Mi brothers, or Jian Yong, none of them noticed that there would be two familiar faces in Lu Bu's army.
