When changing the dishes on the table, firstly, they were afraid that the magistrate would poison them, and secondly, there would be blood splashing on the table, which would affect Lu Bu's appetite.
Soon, the restaurant served Lu Bu a table of brand-new dishes, which had everything he wanted.
The richness was far greater than that of the previous table. Lu Bu did not care about the corpse of the county magistrate. The two women, who were so frightened that they almost fainted, ate and drank by themselves to adjust their state to its peak.
Lu Bu chewed slowly and almost finished the food on the table, then rode off on the red rabbit horse, heading straight to Pengcheng.
At this time, the shopkeeper came out to clean up the mess. As for asking Lu Bu for food money, the shopkeeper never even thought about it.
It was so hard to think about it, so I went to Lu Bu to ask for food money. The shop owner was eager to give Lu Bu money and asked Lu Bu to leave quickly.
Lu Bu's existence directly affected the restaurant's customer base. As soon as they heard that Lu Bu was among them, many diners didn't even eat, left their money and ran away.
Few people dare to dine with a tyrant like Lu Bu.
Grandpa and Grandma finally sent Lu Bu away, but there was a new problem before the store, that is, what to do with the county magistrate's body.
The store owner thought for a while and finally threw the magistrate directly into the yamen and left him to fend for himself.
After all, this was a conflict between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. The store owner did not want to get involved in the conflict between such big men. However, the two beautiful concubines left by the county magistrate gave the store owner other ideas.
After all, the county magistrate is dead, so it doesn't seem too much for the shop owner to take care of the two beautiful concubines for the magistrate.
Sometimes, store owners feel like they are good people who give selflessly!
…
In Pengcheng, a dusty official knelt down in front of Zhang Liao and said sadly: "General, Lu Bu has conquered Lu County, and I'm afraid he is coming to Pengcheng at this time!"
"Um?"
Zhang Liao frowned slightly, obviously shocked by the news.
Zhang Liao frowned even more after learning the whole story from this official. Lu Bu's behavior was far beyond Zhang Liao's expectations, leaving Zhang Liao confused.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Lu Bu to leave Xiapi, because over the years, Lu Bu's body has been drained by drinking and sex, and he has lost the courage he once had as Marquis Wen!
The growing greed for life and fear of death was the real reason why Zhang Liao and Lu Bu were at odds with each other. After Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, he always let Zhang Liao take the lead, and many tough battles were fought by Zhang Liao.
However, Lu Bu reaped the results behind the scenes, which made Zhang Liao quite dissatisfied.
But dissatisfaction is just dissatisfaction, and Zhang Liao didn't make too many moves to play with fire, so Lu Bu didn't take Zhang Liao to heart.
The increasingly estranged relationship led to the tragedy of Lu Bu being trapped in Xiapi City. If Lu Bu could have discovered earlier that his relationship with Zhang Liao was far from what it was before, and took action to make up for it, perhaps Zhang Liao would not sit idly by and do nothing.
But the facts have already happened. Cao Cao was repulsed and Zhang Liao stood still. Zhang Liao felt that he would definitely be hated by Lu Bu.
That's why Zhang Liao was even more wavering and hesitant in his heart. He felt sorry for Lu Bu before standing still, but he was also afraid that Lu Bu would not forgive him. In addition, Cao Cao offered generous terms, which led Zhang Liao to favor Cao Cao.
It's just that Zhang Liao hasn't made up his mind yet. He originally wanted to leave Chen Gong alone for a while, and then he would prepare how to deal with Chen Gong after he made up his mind.
But who would have thought that Lu Bu would come here single-handedly, which caught Zhang Liao off guard and even made him a little overwhelmed.
Zhang Liao liked the feeling of strategizing, but Lu Bu's sudden change made the situation completely out of control.
According to Lu Bu's current character, it is absolutely impossible to kill him. Even if Chen Gong said on the envelope that Zhang Liao had different intentions, Lu Bu would only send an envoy to question him instead of killing him so decisively!
Zhang Liao doesn't want to be an enemy of Lu Bu, who is invincible in the world. After all, Zhang Liao has personally seen how powerful Lu Bu is. Even if he is promoted to a divine general, the difference in strength between him and Lu Bu is still too huge and cannot be smoothed out in a short time.
Zhang Liao, who was not mentally prepared at all, was like an ant on a hot pot. He paced around the house anxiously, thinking about countermeasures.
Lu Bu, who had just defeated Cao Cao, came with the power of victory. Even if he was just one person, it was quite terrifying!
Moreover, the soldiers under Zhang Liao also recognized Lu Bu and were more or less afraid of Lu Bu. Even under his leadership, they did not dare to attack with all their strength.
Zhang Liao, who was worried about gains and losses, finally thought of the person who could break the situation now, and that was Chen Gong.
I hope that Chen Gong can be sensible and resolve this war. He will still be the carefree Prime Minister of Lu, while Lu Bu will still be the aloof Xuzhou Mu, and the two will live in peace.
The price paid is nothing more than not surrendering to Cao Cao, but Zhang Liao continues to charge into battle for Lu Bu!
With good expectations, Zhang Liao approached Chen Gong and said straight to the point: "Gongtai, do you know that Junhou has conquered Lu County?"
"The Lord's speed surprised me."
A meaningful smile appeared on Chen Gong's face, and Lu Bu took action boldly, which must have destroyed Zhang Liao's inner defense.
You know, Zhang Liao definitely doesn't want to fight with Lu Bu. This is Zhang Liao's weakness, because Zhang Liao doesn't want to be blamed for killing his lord!
Moreover, Lu Bu had just defeated Cao Cao, and Zhang Liao might also be worried that he would not be his opponent.
When Lu Bu took action to capture the city, Chen Gong knew that he had made a bet, and also guessed that Zhang Liao would come to his door.
"But the Lord is only one person after all. If I lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight with him, no matter how strong the Lord is, I may not be able to bear it."
There was a hint of threat in Zhang Liao's words.
Chen Gong could also hear the implication of Zhang Liao's words. If he was pushed too hard, it would be bad for everyone.
Zhang Liao's elite soldiers and generals were even better than Lu Bu's. Being able to completely subdue such a force would be of great help to Lu Bu's conquest of Xuzhou, so Chen Gong did not give up on Zhang Liao.
"The power of a monarch is enough to shake the whole sky. If Wenyuan wants to test the strength of a monarch, he can give it a try!"
Chen Gong smiled.
"Then if I ask Duke Cao for help, how will Gongtai respond?"
Zhang Liao's voice became colder and colder, and he clenched his fists tightly, wanting to smash Chen Gong's face in front of him.
"That's too late."
Chen Gong's main emphasis is on military strength and speed. If Lu Bu keeps delaying and hesitates on whether to kill Zhang Liao, it will definitely give Zhang Liao a chance to react and push Zhang Liao to a dead end. Maybe Zhang Liao will really make a shocking decision.
At that time, it is not impossible to join Cao Cao in a moment of enthusiasm!
If Lu Bu was really that indecisive, then Chen Gong would also be in trouble.
It seems that Chen Gong did not misjudge the person. Lu Bu really woke up. He has the style of a hero and takes action when he says it. There is no ambiguity at all.
Lu Bu's light-speed attack did not give Zhang Liao any chance to react. Even if Zhang Liao wanted to seek refuge with Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to send troops to help, it was obviously too late.
Chen Gong's strategy devoured Zhang Liao to death. Of course, if it were another monarch, the strategy might be useless. This strategy was completely based on Lu Bu's unrivaled strength. Without this strength, Zhang Liao really couldn't be manipulated at will.
After all, rashly starting a war would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Lu family army who was in urgent need of recuperation.
When Zhang Liao led tens of thousands of elites and prepared to fight to the death, even a powerful prince like Yuan Shao had to weigh it carefully, because there was not much benefit in defeating Zhang Liao, but he would bite off a piece of his flesh.
