Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 188 The Shocked Xun Yu

Seeing Liu Yu laughing and picking up the iron halberd on the wall, Xun Yu at the side remembered what Liu Yu was about to say about the iron halberd just now, but was interrupted by Liu Bei's arrival.

"Just now King Zhongshan mentioned this iron halberd. Could it be that this weapon has... a special origin?" Xun Yu asked puzzled.

Liu Yu replied with a smile: "Wen Ruo asked well, this halberd not only has an extraordinary origin, but also the key to Lu Bu's defection to Luoyang!"

"Really!" Xun Yu was shocked and couldn't help but stepped forward to look at the iron halberd, and at this time Liu Bei also showed a curious expression, and said: "Hey, isn't this Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd! No wonder that He took this halberd when he left Luoyang City, but he came back empty-handed, so it turned out that Fangtian’s painted halberd fell into the hands of the lord."

Then Liu Bei said: "By the way, I still remember that day when Lu Bu was riding a red rabbit horse, when he returned to the city, he replaced it with a short and frustrating inferior horse. If there is no accident, he must have been hacked to death by the lord!"

Liu Bei's words are very calm, because he thinks that the protagonist Liu Yu can defeat Lu Bu, which is not too amazing.

Before Hulao Pass, Liu Bei had seen and experienced the gap between Lu Bu and Liu Yu with his own eyes, so he knew who was strong and who was weak.

But when they heard that the iron halberd hanging on the wall was Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd, Xun Yu and Gu Yong were stunned as if struck by lightning.

Isn't Lu Bu the number one warrior in the world?Although there are rumors in Luoyang that Liu Yu's force is comparable to him, but Liu Yu is only a "rising star", and in the minds of many people, Lu Bu is still the unshakable No. 1 force.

Gu Yong had already sworn allegiance to Liu Yu, so when he heard Liu Bei's words, his shock quickly turned into joy.

To be able to follow a master who is both wise and brave, what more could I ask for!

Xun Yu also looked at Liu Yu in shock. Although he witnessed Liu Yu's feat of piercing Guo Si with a halberd at the foot of Hongnong City, how could Guo Si be compared with Lu Bu?
"Killing the red rabbit and grabbing the halberd, is it really what Liu Bei said?" Soon Xun Yu thought of another question, and from Liu Bei's words, he could basically calculate the time when Liu Yu and Lu Bu fought.

And that happened to be when they attacked Yiyang City. Could it be that Liu Yu defeated him because Lu Bu saw the truth?
But since Liu Yu had completely defeated Lu Bu, why did he let him go back to Luoyang City?Unless Lu Bu has a greater grip in Liu Yu's hands.

Or maybe the two of them had some agreement in private, such as helping the Bingzhou Legion get rid of Dong Zhuo's shackles.Lu Bu is a hero among men, how can he treat others under him for a long time, in fact, many people can guess this point.

That's why Liu Yu released Lu Bu, and he didn't worry that Lu Bu would tell his true thoughts about the Yiyang war after returning to Luoyang City.

In fact, Lu Bu really did not disclose any news after returning to Luoyang City, otherwise Guo Si's army would not have been defeated so unclearly!
Thinking of this, Xun Yu immediately understood why Liu Yu dared to make a promise in front of Liu Biao and Ma Teng, and said that he was [-]% sure that he could persuade Lu Bu to defect to Luoyang in the next few days!
It turned out that Liu Yu had already started planning the next step when he attacked Yiyang City.

"What is Wen Ruo thinking? Could it be that he guessed that Lu Bu had long planned to defect to Luoyang?" Liu Yu showed a failed expression after speaking, "Sure enough, I am not as good as Wen Ruo in terms of resourcefulness, but I just revealed a little With a little information, you can deduce the whole process and the truth!"

After hearing this, Xun Yu said he was ashamed, "Don't let the king of Zhongshan be praised. I can guess one or two. Compared with King Zhongshan's wisdom of planning the overall situation and winning thousands of miles, I am simply a young scholar who has just been enlightened!"

At this moment, Xun Yu's heart suddenly fell a little bit. He originally planned to wait until Liu Yu solved the mysterious rich businessman before deciding whether it was a wise choice to serve Liu Yu, but now he really wanted to imitate Gu Yong and immediately swear allegiance.

If it wasn't for the fact that firstly, no one had recommended him, and secondly, he hadn't made any contribution to him, which made Xun Yu very embarrassed to speak up, so he secretly made up his mind to advise Liu Yu on the matter of the mysterious rich businessman.

Since Xun Yu had already guessed about Lv Bu's departure from Luoyang, Liu Yu did not intend to continue playing riddles.

I heard Liu Yu say: "Lv Bu gave me an IOU before outside Yiyang City, saying that as long as I can help him and the Bingzhou Corps escape from Dong Zhuo's control, he will give me [-] elite soldiers for free. Will Lu Bu really send me soldiers, but from his performance in Luoyang in the past few days, at least he can prove that he really wants to defect to Luoyang and go to the local area to become king himself!"

After saying this, Liu Yu looked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei gave him a positive look. Liu Bei has been in contact with Lu Bu in the past few days, so he can be sure that Liu Yu's inference is completely fighting for it.

Liu Yu went on to say: "The day before yesterday, I heard that Li Jue's army was about to march to Hongnong, and the Xiliang troops stationed near Luoyang were only Niu Fu's Flying Bear Army, Xu Rong's City Defense Army, and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army. As well as the tens of thousands of troops that Ma Teng and Han Sui have surrendered, if an army of princes suddenly threatens the safety of Luoyang City, who do you think Dong Zhuo will send to attack it?"

This time Liu Yu looked at Gu Yong, who was newly recruited. The system showed that Gu Yong's resourcefulness was 88, which was considered to be close to the first-class level among counselors, so Liu Yu wanted to take this opportunity to test him.

Gu Yong thought for a while and replied: "Even if Ma Teng and Han Suixin are sent out, they will not form an army by themselves, so Dong Zhuo will only choose the main general among Niu Fu, Xu Rong and Lu Bu!"

After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded in satisfaction, "Then Yuan Tan thinks, if there is an army of princes invading the territory, among Niu Fu, Xu Rong and Lu Bu, who will be Dong Zhuo's priority commander?"

"It should be Niu Fu!" Gu Yong replied without hesitation, "Because Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he is Dong Zhuo's most trusted and most assured general."

After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded in satisfaction again, and then continued to ask: "After Niu Fu, will Dong Zhuo choose Xu Rongna or Lu Buna?"

Looking back on this, Yong thought about it more carefully before replying: "Although Lv Bu is Dong Zhuo's adoptive son on the surface, Dong Zhuo's suspicion will definitely not rest assured that a Lv Bu who once assassinated his adoptive father, and Xu Rong once led troops alone The experience of resisting the invasion of the princes, so when Niu Fu is not in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo will definitely let Xu Rong lead the army!"

Liu Yu clapped his hands appreciatively, and said, "Yuan Tan's analysis coincides with what I think, but here comes the question, how can we make Lu Bu Dong Zhuo's first choice?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at Xun Yu next to him, and this problem was the key to Lu Bu's successful defection to Luoyang.
