Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Chapter 128 The feeling of betrayal

retreat?

King Xiutu looked towards the battlefield in the distance. Although he could only see a rough outline, he could see that the number of knights with darker colors on the central army side was getting smaller and smaller, while the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army with bright armor did not lose too many men and horses.

Looking at the eight hundred devil soldiers in the rear army, their combat effectiveness was no less than that of the Xiliang Army. Although this small legion lacked a leading general to command it, each team, under the command of its captain, was either divided or combined, gathered or dispersed, and cooperated extremely tacitly. After fighting for a long time, the eight hundred people suffered almost no casualties.

I originally thought that these people killed their own 5,000 vanguards in Wangfeng Valley by relying on the ambush of the divine bow and the advantage of terrain. But now it seems that even without the advantage of terrain, this group of people can still win.

"Retreat!" King Xiutu ordered.

When the order to retreat was sounded, the Hun soldiers in the center, whose morale was greatly reduced by the killing, had long forgotten to leave some men behind to cover the retreat, and they all ran for their lives. Han Lai and others led their troops to chase them all the way and chopped off a large number of Hu people's heads.

The cavalrymen in the rear army, who were frightened by the killing of Lu Bu and his men and the Golden Eagle Guards, hurriedly retreated to the left and right, leaving the road clear for Lu Bu and his men.

Lu Bu shouted loudly, and Red Hare suddenly accelerated and headed straight for King Xiu Tu and others who were not far away. Xu Chu and others also rode their horses and galloped to catch up.

There were still two thousand soldiers and horses left in the rear formation of King Xiutu. Although Lu Bu's Red Hare was fast, its speed was still slowed down by the obstruction of two thousand people. The horses of King Xiutu and others were not bad either. In a short while, those leading the way had run far away.

Not far from Lishicheng, Lu Bu saw that he could not behead King Xiutu, so he was too lazy to chase him anymore and killed the Hu soldiers who were following behind.

Xu Chu, Guan Hai and others followed and chased for a while. By around 3:00 p.m., there was no living Hun left within a radius of dozens of miles. There were only corpses and mutilated bodies scattered all over the ground.

On the battlefield where tens of thousands of war horses were galloping and fighting, almost no corpses on the ground were intact. The corpses in the middle of the battle formation were even trampled into meat paste. The strong smell of blood filled the entire battlefield.

The Huns had suffered a major defeat in Wangfeng Valley before, and today their 30,000 soldiers were killed by Lu Bu, causing their morale to plummet. After that, they probably hid in the city and dared not show up again. Lu Bu's army was still camped in front of the Luliang Mountain Road, and now they were just waiting for Zhang Liao to take over Gaolang North Road, trap the Huns to death, and force them to come out to fight again.

…………

In the evening, when it was getting dark, Lu Bu was about to go back after dinner in Zhang Mo's tent when he heard the guards outside report that Taishi Ci and Xu Huang came to ask for a meeting.

"What are those two big men doing in your tent so late at night?" Lu Bu said somewhat unhappily.

During the few days he was with Amo, he had never been able to stay overnight in her tent. She would kick him out every day as soon as it got dark. Now it was almost dark, and the two of them didn't know how to avoid suspicion. It was really hateful.

Zhang Mo smiled at him, "What? Are you jealous?"

Lu Bu moved his seat next to Zhang Mo and said, "You are jealous, but forget about Anren and Zhongkang. Stay away from them. You are grown up now and should avoid suspicion."

Zhang Mo said, "There's nothing wrong between me and them. We're just superiors and subordinates. Why are you worrying about that?"

Seeing that Lu Bu still had a look of suspicion and displeasure, Zhang Mo also became unhappy. She moved aside and snorted coldly, "You sleep with other women every night. What's wrong with me just seeing two subordinates? I'm just different from the women here. I have a group of subordinates of the opposite sex in my den of thieves. It's not the first day you've known about this. If you can't accept it, tell me clearly as soon as possible."

After that, he ignored Lu Bu and said to the guard, "Let them in."

Lu Bu hurriedly moved over to her and coaxed her in a low voice, "I don't mean anything else, I just feel a little jealous. I didn't say you can't see your subordinates..."

"Then why aren't you jealous, Zhongkang and Anren?"

Lu Bu thought about the appearance of Xu Chu and Guan Hai, and then thought about the appearance of Taishi Ci and Xu Huang. They were completely different. Moreover, Xu Chu and Guan Hai treated Amo like their own sister. As for these two people, who knows whether they coveted Amo's beauty in their hearts.

While he was saying these two sentences, Taishi Ci and Xu Huang had already lifted the curtain and came in. When they saw Lu Bu here, they paused slightly, but still walked over.

"It's so late, what happened?" Zhang Mo asked.

The two men bowed and greeted each other, then glanced at Lu Bu, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xu Huang gently tugged at Taishi Ci's robe with his right hand, signaling him to speak first.

Taishi Ci stammered, "Yes, there are some things I want to tell Amo..."

Seeing their expressions, Zhang Mo realized that they didn't want Lu Bu to hear what they were going to say next, so she said to Lu Bu, "It's getting dark, you should go back."

Zhang Mo ordered Lu Bu to leave. Although he didn't want to leave, he couldn't act like a rogue in front of outsiders, so he had to go out reluctantly. Halfway through, he thought about it and turned back, stopping fifty steps away to wait.

Inside the big tent, Zhang Mo gestured for the two to take a seat, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now!"

The two looked at each other, and Taishi Ci spoke first, "That is..."

He hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "I came here to avoid disaster. Ah Mo not only took my mother and me in, but also treated me like a brother and my mother like her own. I am very grateful, but living in Juyi Village is not a long-term solution. Ah Mo and General Lu are so close and have such close ties that I would like to join General Lu's army. Could Ah Mo recommend you for me?"

These days, Lu Bu and Zhang Mo were almost together all day except for sleeping at night. Everyone had long noticed that their friendship was extraordinary. In Taishi Ci's view, since Amo loved Lu Bu, she would naturally marry him in the future. If he joined Lu Bu, he would also be considered Amo's man. Moreover, he was a free man and since he didn't want to stay in Juyi Village, why not take this opportunity to serve in the army.

Xu Huang's idea was the same as Taishi Ci's. In his opinion, once a woman got married, everything she had belonged to her husband's family. Although he was now a soldier in the Juyi Camp, Zhang Mo and Lu Bu were one family, so it would not be considered a betrayal if he followed Lu Bu into the army.

After hearing what Taishi Ci said, Zhang Mo's heart sank. She looked at Xu Huang, and it was obvious that he had come for this matter as well.

Dong Zhuo was not dead yet, and Lu Bu was extremely loyal to Dong Zhuo. If these two were given to Lu Bu, it would be equivalent to giving them to Dong Zhuo, which would definitely be aiding the enemy!

Xu Huang is her subordinate and can be forced to stay, but Taishi Ci and she are only in an employment relationship. What reason does she have to stop him from leaving Juyi Village?

Zhang Mo sighed softly and said to Taishi Ci, "I know you'll eventually seek a better life, and I've said I won't force you to stay, but you can't surrender to Lü Bu. Perhaps the time is not right yet."

Zhang Mo was actually quite sad at this moment. She had been so kind to them. There were only five sets of plate armor in the village, each worth tens of thousands of dollars. She gave them two sets without hesitation. Even their weapons were reforged for them in the village, and their mounts were the best ones. The treatment of their families was much better than that of the Golden Eagle Guards' families, but after seeing Lu Bu, they turned around and wanted to leave the Juyi Village.

She could understand their desire to achieve great things, but she felt betrayed in her heart. She believed that apart from being inferior to Lu Bu in martial arts and not being able to fight on the battlefield with them, how else was she worse than him?

Even if she really married Lu Bu in the end, she would never just be a good wife and mother in the inner house and pin her future on love. It has nothing to do with trust or not, she just wants a sense of security for herself.

Taishi Ci and the other two didn't sense her displeasure and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't the time come yet?"
