Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Lying on the bed, Lu Bu slowly dressed himself while looking at Cao Cao as if he were a dead man.

Cao Cao was knocked unconscious after being thrown to the ground. When he turned around, he saw the murderous look in Lu Bu's eyes, and his heart, which had just been relieved, rose to his throat again.

"W-what do you want to do?"

"How dare you lie on my woman's bed? What do you think I want to do?" Lu Bu stood up and tied his belt, looking down at him condescendingly.

"What, what? A-Mo is clearly my future daughter-in-law. Wang Jun promised her personally."

Lü Bu sneered, "You and old scoundrel Wang Yun are pulling this whole stunt just to lure the tiger away from its mountain. The old man is afraid you'll fail, so he's deliberately marrying me to secure my protection. If the assassin is found in the Wang household today, Dong Zhuo will suspect me. You're anticipating this, hiding in Amo's room to force me to protect you. Have you ever considered how you'll escape from me afterward?"

Lu Bu cracked his fingers until they made a crackling sound. Cao Cao had no doubt that this man could kill him with one punch. He moved backwards and asked Zhang Mo for help.

Should we let him go? Zhang Mo admired his courage in taking the risk to assassinate Dong Zhuo today.

However, no matter how much they admire him, if he doesn't die today, he will become their biggest enemy in the future.

Lu Bu walked over and was about to pick up Cao Cao from the ground when he heard a bang and the door was pushed open again. Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Bu looked up, Cao Cao slipped away from Lu Bu and crawled behind Wang Yun, "Master, save me!"

"Fengxian, what are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing the murderous intent in Lu Bu's eyes, Wang Yun understood and asked curiously, "If you wanted to kill him, why did you save him just now?"

Lu Bu looked at Wang Yun, his eyes as cold as ice. "Why don't you know? My father-in-law!"

Wang Yun was startled by his tone and expression. He subconsciously took a step back and glanced at Zhang Mo, who was sitting on the bed watching. Thinking of Lü Bu's concern for his daughter, he felt more confident. "Are you angry that we tricked you out of the palace? Although that's true, my son is indeed engaged to you. Please spare his life for Mo'er's sake."

Lu Bu did not answer, but continued to stare at Cao Cao coldly. He had dreamed of killing Cao Mengde. Now that he was in his hands, how could he let him go?

Wang Yun looked at Zhang Mo again and said, "Daughter, Meng De took a risk to save the Han Dynasty. Please ask Fengxian to spare his life."

"It's useless for anyone to plead for mercy today!"

Lü Bu walked over and pulled Cao Cao out from behind Wang Yun. Wang Yun rushed forward and grabbed Lü Bu's raised fist. "Fengxian, Fengxian, calm down and spare Meng De's life. I will be grateful to you..."

Lu Bu wanted to shake Wang Yun off, but was afraid of using too much force and accidentally injuring him. He was about to throw Cao Cao to death when he heard Zhang Mo say, "Wait!"

Her decision to kill Cao Cao just now was a rash decision, and Cao Cao could not die at this time.

After the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou at lightning speed, and then in just a few years he destroyed the northern tyrant Gongsun Zan and quickly dominated the north. If Yuan Shao had won the Battle of Guandu, the world would definitely have changed its name to Yuan.

If Cao Cao died now, who would be able to compete with Yuan Shao in the future? Would he rely on incompetents like Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, or Liu Bei, who was still struggling to make a living?

The answer is obviously impossible!

Furthermore, Lü Bu's background was humble to begin with, and now he was on Dong Zhuo's pirate ship, making it even harder to find someone like him. Warfare hinges on logistics, food supplies, and overall strength. Without comprehensive strength and logistics, the battle line cannot be extended. Without talented people to govern, the larger the territory conquered, the more chaotic it becomes.

Bingzhou is mostly mountainous, and the Hetao Plain in the north has not been fully developed. It is now occupied by the Southern Xiongnu. Only two small basins, Taiyuan and Xinding, are suitable for developing agriculture. It is impossible for this amount of land to supply large-scale war logistics. Zhang Mo would never obtain food and grass through massacres or unknown dried meat like Cao Cao did.

Therefore, for a long time, Lu Bu could only hold on to one side and accumulate strength while first dealing with the Southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou and the nearby Baibo Army, occupying Hedong County near Bingzhou, and then expanding southward or to Xiliang. Even Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army might not be taken by Lu Bu in a short period of time, let alone taking Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

Therefore, the Central Plains temporarily needs Cao Cao to balance Yuan Shao. Otherwise, when Yuan Shao easily seizes most of the Han Dynasty, how can Lu Bu, relying on the barren land in the northwest, compete with Yuan Shao who occupies the fertile Central Plains?

Thinking of this, Zhang Mo came over and pulled Lu Bu's sleeve. Her expression changed, and she pleaded pitifully, "Feng, Fengxian, please spare my father, spare Uncle Meng De. He didn't mean to harm you."

Lu Bu knew she was acting and hummed in agreement, "Is this how you beg?"

Zhang Mo said timidly, "Please, spare my father. He is my father!"

Lu Bu felt his heart was about to be softened by her, but his expression remained cold. "So what if it's your father? If he dares to plot against me, I will kill him without hesitation!"

Hey, this guy is really getting ahead of her?

Zhang Mo rolled her eyes at him and put on her heroic image again, "You're attracted to my face, aren't you? If you kill him today, I'll destroy my own appearance."

As he spoke, he blinked his right eye and winked at Lu Bu.

"You dare to threaten me?"

Although Lu Bu said this, he was confused in his heart. It was clear that Amo wanted to kill Cao Cao just now, so why did she change her mind now?

However, Ah Mo always knew her limits. If she didn't want Cao Cao dead, she had a good reason. Gaining a glimpse into the heavens was like being reborn, so why not give Cao Mengde another try? If she still fell at his hands, it would be her own incompetence.

After putting on a good show, Zhang Mo pulled out the hairpin from her hair and gestured on her face, "Do you think I dare?"

Wang Yun couldn't help but sigh, "This is my daughter's true nature!"

Lü Bu was afraid that she might accidentally scratch her face, so he pretended to hesitate for a moment before slowly saying, "For the sake of your face, I'll spare you today."

He put Cao Cao down, patted his brocade robe, and then touched Zhang Mo's face twice with a lustful look, then walked out of the room with a big laugh.

Cao Cao escaped death, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

Wang Yun hugged Zhang Mo and burst into tears. "What can I do? Mo'er, it's my father who has harmed you. I used to think he was sincere about you, but now I know he was only attracted to your face. Now that you've been targeted by this devil, what can I do? This guy is as lustful as Dong Zhuo. My son has walked right into the tiger's mouth."

Zhang Mo followed suit and said, "Today, in order to protect the Prince's Palace, my daughter had no choice but to put on a show with him. Now, in the eyes of outsiders, I am already his, ah!"

Wang Yun cried even harder, "Father was inconsiderate in this matter, Mo'er, I'm so sorry for you!"

Cao Cao said, "Master Zi, don't be sad. In my opinion, Lu Bu still has some affection for A-Mo. Otherwise, how could he let you and me go today?"

Moreover, in his opinion, Amo may not be without feelings for Lu Bu.

Wang Yun thought about it and agreed. If Lu Bu only liked her appearance, why would he ask to marry Moer?

Seeing how they looked, Zhang Mo seriously suspected that they were going to take advantage of Lu Bu's affection for her to cause trouble again, so she couldn't help but remind Wang Yun a thing or two.

"How can Lü Bu's affection for my daughter outweigh his future prospects? If I do anything that harms me or Dong Zhuo again, he might kill me as well. If I decide to do anything in the future, please discuss it with me first. Don't be so reckless again. If I had been a step slower today, the Wang family would have been wiped out."

Thinking of what had just happened, Wang Yun said with lingering fear, "Yes, my son is right. This time, I was reckless."

Zhang Mo then said to Cao Cao, "You absolutely cannot stay in Luoyang any longer. Once the news has died down, return to Chenliu."

At this time, there was no need for Zhang Mo to drive people away, and Cao Cao would never dare to stay in Luoyang.

Two days later, Dong Zhuo searched the entire Luoyang city but couldn't find anyone, so he had to give up for the time being. Only then did Cao Cao find an opportunity to disguise himself and leave the city.

…………

Outside Luoyang City, Amina, who had been blocked outside for two days, saw that the city gate was finally opened, and rushed into the city to find Zhang Mo.

When Amina arrived at the palace, Zhang Mo had just finished breakfast. Seeing her exhausted appearance, Zhang Mo was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen in Juyi Village?"

Amina said anxiously, "No, something happened at the Jinyang Tulou."
