Facing Cao Cao's tens of thousands of menacing troops descending from Shouchun City, Lu Bu was undefended at all.
Not only did the city gates open wide, but they also led a group of people to welcome him out with a smile.
"Brother Meng De! Long time no see. How are you?" Seeing Cao Cao, Lu Bu waved and said hello from afar, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Seeing Guan Yu next to Cao Cao again, he smiled and said: "Oh, Brother Yun! I didn't expect to see you here again today! How are you, Madam?"
"Marquis Wen..." Guan Yu was also a little confused. Logically speaking, Lu Bu had enmity with his three brothers, but Lu Bu sent his wife back again!
But Lu Bu took Mrs. Gan as his own again! How should I face Lu Bu?
Lu Bu asked with a smile: "Yun Chang, let me ask you something, why do you always like to wear such a bright green hat and green shirt?"
"I just like it!" Guan Yu replied casually.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, cuckold was just the color of a hat and had no other specific meaning.
But why did Lu Bu feel a little uncomfortable when he asked this question?
Cao Cao didn't want the two of them to talk anymore, so he asked: "Fengxian, why are you in Shouchun? Where is Yuan Shu, the old man?"
Lu Bu laughed and said, "That's the thing. After I heard that Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Changyi, I thought that Shouchun's defense must be empty.
Since he dared to attack Meng De's home, why don't we treat him the same way he did?
So I brought some troops to capture Shouchun. Yuan Shu took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Now I think he crossed the river and went to Danyang.
I originally planned to have someone send a message to you, Meng De, but I didn’t expect that you had already arrived with your troops. As expected, your troops are very fast!
Come to think of it, the siege of Changyi has been lifted? Is Changyi City okay? Are your precious family members okay? "
Cao Cao could only say: "Thank you Fengxian for informing me of the news in time, and thanks to Yun Chang's loyalty and bravery, Changyi has not been defeated by Yuan's army."
Lu Bu smiled and said: "That's good! Hey, this is not the place to talk. Meng De and Yun Chang, please go to the city and talk! I have ordered people to prepare a banquet for you to wash away the dust!"
Cao Cao was a suspicious person by nature, so how could he trust Lu Bu, an unreliable ally?
The more Lu Bu showed no defense, the more Cao Cao suspected that Lu Bu would set an ambush in the city, just waiting for him to kill him as soon as he entered the city!
Because he said: "Hey, I have so many people with me. If I want to enter the city, I will inevitably disturb the people in the city..."
Lu Bu didn't seem to hear what Cao Cao meant, and said with a smile: "Mengde is joking, if you really bring tens of thousands of people into the city, the city will really not be able to accommodate them, and I won't be able to provide so much wine and meat to entertain you.
What I mean is that if Commander Meng Deyun and several generals are allowed to enter the city, as for Meng De’s troops, they will naturally have to feel aggrieved and camp outside the city..."
At this point, Lu Bu seemed to have just come to his senses. He slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "I understand. Could it be that Meng De, you can't trust me and you are afraid that I will set up an ambush in the city to deal with you?"
Meng De, you are worrying too much! A gentleman hides his balls, and a villain hides his cock. I am a gentleman, and I will never do such vile things!
Last time in Mengde's military camp, I wasn't afraid of you plotting against me. Could it be that Mengde still can't trust me this time? "
Cao Cao, who had his thoughts revealed, glanced at Guan Yu in embarrassment.
Guan Yu hasn't made it clear that he wants to follow him, but he is still thinking about finding Liu Bei.
Now if I let go of my timidity, wouldn't I let Guan Yu laugh at me?
How could he be compared to Lu Bu?
After struggling again and again, in order not to be looked down upon by Guan Yu, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said:
"How come I can't trust you, Fengxian? I'm just afraid of disturbing you! Since Fengxian is so hospitable, then we can do as we please, sorry to bother you!"
Having said that, in addition to letting the four powerful generals Guan Yu, Li Dian, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun accompany him, Ling also asked Cao Ren to select two hundred loyal and brave soldiers to enter the city together.
From the moment he stepped onto the suspension bridge, Cao Cao's nerves became tense.
Entering the city gate, passing through the urn, and entering the inner city, although Cao Cao was joking with Lu Bu, his triangular eyes kept smacking around, and he had to take a few more looks at every place where troops could be hidden before he felt at ease.
However, Cao Cao really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and Lu Bu never thought of plotting against Cao Cao.
He still has to keep Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao, Ma Teng and others!
When we arrived at the Yamen Office, we saw that wine and meat had all been prepared, as if we were entertaining distinguished guests.
Everyone sat down to drink. Guan Yu didn't know why, but when he saw Lu Bu and Cao Cao sitting next to each other, he unconsciously remembered that his daughter-in-law had fallen into the hands of the two of them one after another, and he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
After a few glasses of wine, they naturally talked about how they defeated Yuan Shu this time.
Lu Bu then ordered his maid: "Hurry up and ask the lady to come up and pour wine for the distinguished guest!"
The maid agreed, and soon two beauties, one big and one small, came up and knelt down.
Lu Bu pretended to have a helpless smile and said: "I only said madam, but forgot to tell them which madam it was, these idiots!
Since you are here, you must have met Duke Cao and the generals. "
Then he introduced to Cao Cao and others: "This little one is my new concubine, the daughter of Yuan Shu.
As for this beauty, Mrs. Feng, my mother-in-law~"
Everyone has a dark look on their faces: I bet your mother-in-law is younger than you, right? I have never seen such a shameless person!
Cao Cao couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw Feng Fang's pearls gathering on her side, her robes ringing, her brows furrowed and her eyes clear. He said with a squinting expression without any trace of concealment: "Is this Mrs. Feng? I've heard her name for a long time, and today I saw her. He is indeed a rare talent!”
Seeing Cao Cao's hungry, wolf-like eyes, Feng Fangnu hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to look further. She only handed over a glass of wine and then went to toast to others.
Lu Bu seemed to notice Feng Fangnu's discomfort, because he said, "You guys go down."
Feng Fangnu was relieved, and Fu Yifu led Yuan Zhi out.
Cao Cao's eyes were still fixed on Feng Fangnu's back and refused to move away.
Lu Bu coughed and said, "Brother Meng De, don't think too much. My taking Yuan Shu's daughter as my concubine does not mean that I want to form an alliance with him.
It's just because I agreed to his engagement back then. You know who I am, and you can't go back on your word, right?
Moreover, Yuan Shu ran away again. If I don’t take care of such a young child, who will take care of her? "
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Exactly! Who in the world doesn't know that Lu Fengxian is the most trustworthy person? Come on, come on, I'll give you a toast!"
"Please! Generals, please!" Lu Bu picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
After Cao Cao finished drinking, he reminded: "Fengxian, then look at our previous agreement..."
"Promise?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Ah, yes, yes! We still have an agreement! Yes, we must abide by the agreement! Do you keep your word!"
When Cao Cao heard that Lu Bu agreed so happily, he thought that Lu Bu would give Mrs. Feng to him. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and praised:
"Yes! You are quite true to your word! As expected of you!"
