Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 194 Meeting Lu Bu
When Xun Yu learned that Liu Yu was going to overthrow Dong Zhuo's forces, he asked Liu Yu many times why he didn't take advantage of Dong Zhuo's trust to assassinate him.

For example, this time Liu Yu was entrusted with the important task of refining elixir, which was an excellent opportunity to poison Dong Zhuo to death.

Liu Yu's answer to this question is very simple. He said that Dong Zhuo's life is more valuable than his death.

Xun Yu had 96 ingenuity and 97 intellect, so he quickly thought of a reason. Liu Yu should be afraid that after Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang army would be in chaos, which would cause disaster for the two capitals, and even cause the princes of the whole world to separate themselves.

This answer is of course correct, but Xun Yu didn't know that deep in Liu Yu's heart, there was actually a more long-term reason hidden.

It's just that the time hasn't come yet, so I can't tell Xun Yuming.

……

In the hall of Chongde, Lv Bu, who was originally full of joy, became angry when Dong Zhuo said that Ma Teng and Han Sui would go on the expedition instead of him.

It's just that Dong Zhuo was the one who gave the orders, so even though Lu Bu was furious, he could only lower his head secretly, but the ferocious expression on his face happened to be caught by Wang Yun who was opposite.

At this time, Wang Yun remembered Liu Yuxin's letter saying that he wanted him to show favor to Lv Bu, and judging from the atmosphere in the hall, Lv Bu was very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's order to send Ma Teng and Han Sui to the expedition. Chance.

Besides, no matter who leads the troops to the southwest, it has nothing to do with the royalists, and recommending Lu Bu at this time may also deepen the gap between him and Dong Zhuo.

When Wang Yun decided to go out with the opposition Ma Teng and Han Sui, Li Ru stepped out first.

"Reporting to the Grand Master, the news about the rebel party in the Southwest is currently limited, and 3 to [-] people are only an approximate figure, and there is trouble in Chang'an. The officials are worried that the soldiers in the Southwest may be the work of Zhang Ji's allies. To be on the safe side, it is safer to send the elderly in the army to fight!"

What Li Ru meant was to put out heavy punches to quickly put an end to the military chaos, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and be followed by other princes.

Dong Zhuo stroked his chin and began to ponder after hearing this, while Lu Bu saw the hope of going out again and was eager to try it happily.

After a while, Dong Zhuo said, "Wen You's words are right! The two generals Ma Teng and Han Sui have limited moves. Once they encounter a strong enemy, they may not be able to win."

Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo glanced at several Xiliang generals, but when he saw Lu Bu, he quickly went around, and finally pointed to his son-in-law Niu Fu.

"Niu Fu listens to the order, ordering you to lead an army of [-] flying bears, and set off to the southwest immediately!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Niu Fu stepped forward to receive the talisman seal ribbon, turned around and strode out of the hall, while Dong Zhuo continued to discuss logistics, food and grass with everyone.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and hated being rejected again, so much so that he didn't even bother to listen to the next court meeting.

The court meeting dispersed, and everyone left from Xuanwu Gate. Lu Bu quickly chased after Liu Bei when he saw Liu Bei alone.

"Niu Fu snatched away the expedition, what should I do!" Lu Bu was annoyed and anxious.

Liu Bei looked around for a few times and saw that there was no one around, so he replied in a low voice: "Feng Xian, don't worry, I would like to go out of the city with me."

Lu Bu asked suspiciously: "Who do you want to see when you leave the city at this time?"

Liu Bei smiled and only knew when he said it.

……

In fact, Dong Zhuo was also shocked when he heard the news of the enemy's situation suddenly coming from the southwest, but he had to be so calm and calm on the Golden Palace in order to stabilize the court situation.

As soon as the court discussion was over, he took Li Ru, his confidant and think tank, to the Yong'an Palace to discuss the follow-up matters.

"Wen You feels that in the southwest direction, which road is the army of the princes and warlords making trouble? Is it really related to that Zhang Ji?"

"This...it's hard to say. The southwest is close to Jingxi and connected to Yongnan. For a while, I can't tell which princes raised their troops. However, Zhang Jicai just defected to Chang'an, and the Southwest raised troops. Obviously, there must be a relationship between them. connect!"

Dong Zhuo frowned after hearing this, and he was a little uneasy that he hadn't even figured out who the other party was.

This time Zhang Ji's rebellion and the southwestern uprising, what worries Dong Zhuo the most is that it will cause a chain reaction. If the princes jointly challenge Dong again, it will be in big trouble.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo on the Golden Palace has prepared from the beginning to let Niu Fu lead the strongest Feixiong army to fight, and the mention of Ma Teng and Han Sui is just to refuse Lu Bu to go out in disguise.

As for Lu Bu, he felt that he had to use it carefully.

Suddenly Dong Zhuo gasped, and a nervous look appeared on his face.Li Ru quickly asked: "What did the Grand Master think of?"

Dong Zhuo said with some uncertainty: "Tell me, could the person who raised troops in the southwest be the one who escaped from Luoyang before?"

Li Ru didn't know who Dong Zhuo was talking about for a while, until he saw Dong Zhuo stretched out three fingers, and he let out a cry of surprise.

"If that person is in the southwest, I have to tell General Niu Fu to be careful!"

Dong Zhuo also thought so, and wrote a letter to Niu Fu on the spot, asking him to march cautiously, and also told him not to attack rashly before knowing the truth of the opponent!

……

It was almost evening when Lu Bu followed Liu Bei to Niujia Village. When he first met Liu Yu, Lu Bu was still a little emotional, but when he saw Fang Tian's painted halberd hanging on the wall, he immediately withered away.

Fang Tian's painting of the halberd is the evidence of Lu Bubai and Liu Yu's hands, and Liu Yu also holds an IOU in Lu Bu's hand.

Thinking of these two things, Lu Bu felt inexplicably guilty. Fortunately, Liu Yu was still very trustworthy, and he didn't preach about defeating him everywhere.

So this also made Lu Bu have a lot of expectations in his heart. He wondered if Liu Yu had already figured out a clever plan for him to leave Luoyang when he was invited to meet this time?

"Yesterday Xuande said that the opportunity was coming, but today Niu Fu snatched it up..."

Before Lu Bu could finish his sentence, Liu Yu interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand.

"I already know what happened in the court hall, Fengxian, don't worry, let's talk about the southwest direction...it wasn't prepared for you in the first place!"

In fact, in the Golden Palace, Lu Bu suspected that Liu Yu might have raised troops in the Southwest, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence. Liu Bei had just told him last night that the opportunity was coming, and then there was chaos in the Southwest.

Moreover, the military advisor Chen Gong also guessed a thing or two from Liu Bei's recent remarks, and reminded Lu Bu that the so-called opportunity is likely to be that Liu Yu will make some noise near Luoyang, in exchange for the opportunity for Lu Bu to lead troops to the expedition.

But it was all guesswork by Lu Bu and Chen Gong before, but now that Liu Yu said it himself, Lu Bu was still quite shocked. There are [-] suspects deployed there?

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu's heart was shocked again, and he suddenly felt that Liu Yu's words seemed to mean something.

"Liu Yu said that the enemy situation in the southwest was not prepared for him. What does he mean? Did he arrange other suspicious soldiers in other places?"
