Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

At this moment, Zhang Mo, who was a guest in Yuan Shao's tent in Hanoi, had no idea that Luoyang was experiencing a catastrophe.

"I was fortunate enough to receive your guidance on the streets of Luoyang. I regret not listening to your words. As a result, Your Majesty was poisoned, his ministers were murdered, and our Han dynasty fell under the control of the evil thief Dong Zhuo. Although I am now the governor of Bohai, I am a lone warrior with a poor army, feared by Han Fu, under his surveillance, and at his mercy. If it weren't for the kindness of four generations of ancestors, whose disciples and former officials are spread across the country, how could I have the courage to raise my arm and have so many heroes respond to my call today?"

After Yuan Shao finished his sympathetic act, he stood up and bowed again. "The war is not going well, and the road ahead is bleak. I beg for your guidance, sir."

In order to find Zhang Mo, Yuan Shao almost searched Luoyang from head to toe. He thought he would never have the chance to see the immortal again in this life, but he didn't expect her to come to him on her own. How could Yuan Shao not be excited and not welcome Zhang Mo as a guest of honor?

Feng Ji and Xu You looked at Zhang Mo with curiosity. She was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, very handsome, with a masculine body, full of ethereal spirit, but also a bit feminine.

Xu You asked Yuan Shao, "Is this the Luoyang expert you told me about that day? How can he be so young?"

Yuan Shao nodded, "Ziyuan, don't underestimate your youth, everything you say is true."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Then could you show me?" Xu You looked at Zhang Mo with great interest. In his opinion, this person might have some talent, but he was definitely not as amazing as Yuan Shao had said before.

Zhang Mo glanced at him and asked uncertainly, "Do you really want me to see it?"

Xu You asked, "How could it be fake? Could it be that he is just playing tricks on others and can't explain the whole thing?"

Zhang Mo gently waved her feather fan, her face calm, "Since that's the case, I'll say a few words. If I'm offended, please forgive me."

Xu You waved his hand generously, "Just say whatever you want!"

Zhang Mo said slowly, "Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, was good friends with Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde when he was young. He was a man of wisdom and strategy..."

Upon hearing this, Xu You's face immediately showed disdain, he was just a flatterer.

However, Zhang Mo's next words made his expression suddenly change.

"I once joined the heroes and persuaded Meng De to go..."

"Sir, you are truly an expert. Ziyuan admires you!" Xu You quickly interrupted Zhang Mo's next words.

Yuan Shao knew what Zhang Mo was going to say next. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xu You had joined forces with several others to depose Emperor Ling. No one knew about this except the people involved. He never thought that this immortal could really tell the truth by just looking at the face. Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Ziyuan, are you convinced?"

Xu You nodded with a dark face. Feng Ji asked curiously, "Sir, can you really tell a person's past by looking at their face?"

Zhang Mo didn't dare to portray herself as an all-knowing immortal. That would only bring disaster upon herself. She shook her head and said, "How can I believe such a mysterious thing? To be honest, I can only observe the sky and predict major events, and read people's faces to judge their hearts. For example, Ziyuan, although a wise man, is also greedy and unruly."

Seeing Xu You's expression change again, Zhang Mo smiled and continued, "However, the world is bustling with people all for profit, whether it is for fame, ideals, beliefs, ambitions, or power, money, status, or beauty, everything in the world can be called profit, and pursuing profit is the normal behavior of human beings."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and asked, "If that's the case, how did you know about our past?"

Zhang Mo said, "General, please think carefully about what we said in the teahouse that day. I simply asked you if you had ever dreamed of a sword, and you yourself told me about the sword you wanted to summon. I simply followed suit and suggested that you use it to kill Dong Zhuo. As for the matter of Ziyuan, General Cao mentioned it by chance when we were in Luoyang."

Yuan Shao thought about it and realized that he was the one who said that the precious sword was about to be summoned. He suddenly realized, "So that's it!"

Even so, Yuan Shao's admiration for her remained undiminished. He then added, "Sir, since you can observe the celestial phenomena and predict major events, I have something I would like to ask you."

Zhang Mo, with the air of a sage, asked leisurely, "General, are you asking about official matters or personal matters?"

Yuan Shao knew what she meant by official and personal matters. He didn't really want to attack Luoyang. Mengjin and Xiaopingjin were both closely watched by Niu Fu's men. Crossing the river to fight was not easy, so there was nothing to talk about official matters. What he wanted to ask about was naturally his own future.

Yuan Shao said truthfully, "Since Dong Zhuo's reign of chaos, strife has been brewing throughout the country. Provincial governors have become powerful, and warlords have seized power. My family background and talents rival those of Han Fu. I wish to support the Han Dynasty, but I own no province and am powerless. Jizhou borders the Yellow River to the south and Yan and Dai to the north. It also contains the Wuhuan and Xianbei peoples. I wish to conquer it. Do you have any advice?"

Although Feng Ji said that there would be a way to make Han Fu give up Jizhou after defeating Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao still didn't believe it. Han Fu now regarded Jizhou as his wife, so how could he give it up easily?

Zhang Mo asked, "General, you led the heroes to attack Dong Zhuo with such fanfare, yet you haven't achieved any success yet, and now you want to attack each other and seize territory?"

Yuan Shao's face froze, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I also want to attack Luoyang, but the princes are selfish and unwilling to work hard. How can I, alone, defeat Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of elite troops?"

"Since the general abandoned his post last time, the Han Dynasty is doomed," Zhang Mo said, feigning a look of contemplation as she observed Yuan Shao. "Your forehead is full, your eyes are sharp and bright, and your nose is straight. Your features are indescribably noble. I have come here to assist you. The affairs of Jizhou are not urgent. After this battle, this place will be yours."

When Yuan Shao heard the words "invaluable", his eyes lit up, and when he heard her last sentence, he was even more surprised.

Feng Ji and Xu You also looked sideways, especially Feng Ji, who couldn't help but look at Zhang Mo again. This young man was so wise and resourceful at such a young age. He actually had the same idea as himself?

Feng Ji couldn't help but ask, "After this battle, how can Jizhou return to the general?"

Zhang Mo looked at Feng Ji and smiled calmly, "You have already made up your mind, why ask me?"

Feng Ji was surprised, "How do you know I have an idea?" He did have a plan to take Jizhou, but he had never told him. How could this young master see it?

Zhang Mo said, "Just now, when I mentioned the affairs of Jizhou, although there was surprise in your eyes, there was also a hint of a sense of shared vision."

Feng Ji was delighted and convinced. "Young Master is indeed good at reading faces. You can tell what I'm thinking from the subtlest details. I admire you so much!"

He paused and asked, "I wonder if your plan is the same as mine?"

Zhang Mo's claim of being good at face reading is all a bluff. If she calls someone she doesn't know, she will definitely be exposed. The more famous the person is, the easier it is for her to bluff.

"It's just nine words. Recruit Qu Yi, connect Gongsun, and show how powerful Xiao is! But before that, Alliance Leader Yuan must achieve some results in the battle against Dong Zhuo."

"Recruit Qu Yi?" Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Zhang Mo, "Young Master, your talent far surpasses mine. I admire you!"

Previously, he had only thought of secretly contacting Gongsun Zan and inviting him to lead his troops south to attack Jizhou, and then send someone to explain the severity of the situation to Han Fu. Given Han Fu's cowardly character, he would most likely give up Jizhou. However, if he could first surrender Qu Yi, Han Fu would lose this important general, and the matter would be much simpler.

Feng Ji also knew Qu Yi well. He was a skilled warrior, but also extremely utilitarian. Given Yuan Shao's family background, it would not be difficult to bribe him. As for this campaign, he had also advised Yuan Shao to contribute.

Yuan Shao pondered these nine words for a moment, then suddenly became enlightened. He looked at Zhang Mo excitedly, "Sir, you are so talented. Please accept my greeting!"

As he spoke, he was about to bow to Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo hurried forward and held up his arms, "I am just a commoner. I dare not accept the general's salute!"

Yuan Shao sincerely invited him, "I would like to appoint you as my military advisor to help me achieve my great cause. What do you think?"
