Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Lu Bu, who was stationed in Pengcheng, was a little bored. A few days ago, when he was desperate in Yanzhou, he had no choice but to join the army of Uncle Liu.

After a period of stable days, Lu Bu's mentality gradually changed.

The oath made by Gao Shun and Chen Gong was like a needle piercing Lu Bu's heart, constantly taking root and sprouting.

Uncle Liu was known for his kindness and generosity, and he used these two people to restrict himself. This behavior made Lu Bu feel a little resentful.

After Chen Gong's persuasion, Lu Bu gradually felt relieved as he thought about his previous behavior which was indeed wrong.

But the arrogance revealed by Zhang Fei made the anger that he had suppressed for a long time burst out instantly.

After he entered Pengcheng, he politely proposed to go to Xia Pi City to pay a visit.

I thought Zhang Fei would be very polite to him after hearing the news, but who knew that Zhang Fei's attitude was extremely cold, or even ignoring him.

Zhang Fei replied with cold words, telling him directly that Emperor Liu was not in Xiapi at the moment. He wanted to meet Emperor Liu and come back after he returned to Xiapi.

At the end of the letter, Zhang Fei also warned Lu Bu to stay in Pengcheng and prepare to resist Cao Cao's attack, and not to do anything unnecessary.

When Lu Bu saw Zhang Fei's reply, his face turned pale and his self-esteem was hurt.

After all, I am the Marquis of Wen, who was personally appointed by His Majesty. What do you think of Zhang Fei? You are just a general who breaks the enemy's will. This title of general sounds intimidating, but everyone knows that in this era, it is just a general with a miscellaneous title and is not even in the mainstream.

Nowadays, among the princes, in order to win over the generals around them, they all continue to confer official titles on themselves. For official titles like this, he can kill several people with a swing of his Tianhuaji.

"How dare a man insult me ​​like this? I will pay him back sooner or later."

"Marquis Wen, why are you so angry?" Chen Gong walked up to Lu Bu, looked at Lu Bu with a livid face, and asked.

Lu Bu handed Zhang Fei's reply to Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, please read it yourself. I wanted to marry this black man with good intentions, but he actually spoke wildly and humiliated me."

Chen Gong took the letter and read it roughly. He understood why Lu Bu was angry. Frankly speaking, Zhang Fei's letter was indeed a little cold and even a little blunt. But Chen Gong really didn't see how much contempt there was in his words.

"Marquis Wen, Zhang Fei told you to obey the general's orders and not to act rashly without the order of the emperor's uncle. This is also true. Why should you be angry about this?"

"Gongtai, I just wrote a letter to Zhang Fei to catch up with him and improve our relationship. How can I bring him up with disobeying military orders? This black fellow's words were full of alienation and contempt. How can I not be angry?

He may have forgotten that when I was at Hulao Pass, I held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in my hand and faced the siege of his three brothers. Even when Liu Huangshu saw me, he was terrified. "

Lu Bu talked endlessly about the glory of the past, and the look in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Marquis Wen, this is a different time. Now we are serving under Uncle Liu, and we should serve him wholeheartedly. Although Uncle Liu is kind, if Marquis Wen keeps bringing up the past, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's situation and felt a little worried, so he couldn't help but give him a kind reminder.

"Cao Cao has led his soldiers and has begun to attack Xuzhou. Uncle Liu placed us in Pengcheng to defend against Cao Cao. Now Marquis Wen needs to prepare his troops and horses to deal with Cao Cao."

"Don't worry, Gongtai. There is nothing to be afraid of. If he dares to lead his troops deep into our territory, I will definitely kill him."

Although Lu Bu failed in the Battle of Yanzhou, he remained confident. Afterwards, he summarized the failure and found that the alienation of the aristocratic families and the lack of food and grass were the main reasons for the failure.

But after he came to Xuzhou, these two conditions had undergone fundamental changes.

In order to occupy Xuzhou, Cao Cao adopted a high-pressure deterrence strategy from the beginning. He carried out a crazy massacre in Xuzhou. Although this strategy could quickly undermine the morale of the soldiers, it would also bring unpredictable side effects, that is, the loss of public support.

The aristocratic families in Xuzhou now turn pale at the mention of Cao. In their eyes, Cao Cao is a brutal murderer who does not possess the status of a wise leader at all.

All the Xuzhou nobles stood against Cao Cao. After Tao Qian's death, they chose Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou without hesitation.

In the final analysis, the aristocratic families in Xuzhou wanted to use the power of Uncle Liu to resist Cao Cao's attack, thus saving Xuzhou from being massacred again.

Now that Lu Bu is standing behind Liu Huangshu, the aristocratic families will naturally support him unconditionally, instead of playing dirty tricks behind his back like they did in Yanzhou.

In addition, Xuzhou has been relatively stable in recent years, with few wars and abundant food. Lu Bu in Xuzhou does not have to worry about food and grass problems at all.

The two reasons for Yanzhou's failure have been changed. How can he not win in the battle with Cao Cao?

"Cao Cao is extremely treacherous. Yuan Shao even sent his great general Yan Liang to help him this time. Yan Liang is brave and good at fighting. He is one of the four pillars of Hebei. Marquis Wen must not underestimate the enemy."

"Four pillars of the court, what do you think I, Lu, would be afraid of even if all four of them attacked me together?"

Hearing Yan Liang's name, Lu Bu's eyes were full of contempt. On that day in front of Hulao Pass, he fought Yan Liang and Wen Chou alone. In less than a hundred moves, he had killed both of them and forced them to retreat.

If they hadn't been determined to take down Uncle Liu's head amidst thousands of soldiers, how could the two of them have survived until now?

"If we talk about a duel of force, Wen Hou is naturally invincible, but on the battlefield, victory is not determined by bravery alone."

What Chen Gong said was very pertinent. The outcome of a battlefield is never decided by a one-on-one duel between generals. There are too many factors that determine everything.

Troop deployment, food and grass supply, generals’ abilities, favorable weather and terrain…

There was a hint of impatience in Lu Bu's eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't listen to Chen Gong's advice at all.

"Wen Hou, although the battlefield is dangerous, there are still rules. Off the battlefield, those invisible knives are just as sharp when killing people."

Chen Gong sighed slightly, somewhat helpless. Lü Bu's martial arts were amazing, and no one in the world could match him. But his political acumen? That was hard to describe.

If the negative emotions revealed at this moment were to be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, it would be impossible for them to stay safely in Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was not at all interested in Chen Gong's remarks, and even felt a little repulsed.

"Gongtai, you worry too much. With my martial arts skills, if anyone dares to stab me in the back, I will cut him into pieces."

Seeing that Lu Bu was not interested, Chen Gong said no more. After bowing, he slowly retreated.

After Chen Gong left, Lu Bu looked into the distance. The past was like smoke, coming together and leaving in his mind.

"A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be inferior to others for long?"
