Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

"Master, why did you allow Minister Yang to collude with Li Su to assassinate Lü Bu?"

In the palace study, Butler Wang looked at Wang Yun with a puzzled expression. Because of Ah Mo, hadn't the head of the family already sided with Lu Bu? Why was he trying to harm him now?

Wang Yun placed a message he had just read on the candle flame and lit it, smiling, "I'm helping him."

"Help him?" Butler Wang was puzzled.

Wang Yun said, "Dong Zhuo has been very kind to Fengxian. Fengxian is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. He cannot bear to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice. I can only let Dong Zhuo turn against him first."

"And then? Even so, he wouldn't kill Dong Zhuo, right?"

Wang Yun knelt down, picked up his brush, and wrote as he spoke, "Dong Zhuo was so angry that he vomited blood today. It seems that his time is running out. Why would I kill a dying man?"

Butler Wang was puzzled, "Then why?"

"To help Fengxian escape Dong Zhuo's pirate ship, when he learns that Dong Zhuo wants to kill him, he only needs to lead his troops back under the guise of attacking Dong Zhuo. From then on, no one will ever say he's Dong Zhuo's man. On the contrary, he'll take away half of Dong Zhuo's troops, which is equivalent to taking away half of Dong Zhuo's life. Then I'll have people make up a few stories and spread them everywhere, saying that Fengxian is a great hero who endured humiliation, but unfortunately, Li Su, a traitor, appeared beside him, so his identity was exposed and he had to retreat to Bingzhou."

"This idea, Patriarch, is very good, but... Dong Zhuo is violent, and A-Mo is engaged to Lü Bu. Will this matter implicate the Wang family?"

"Not for now. Don't forget, Yang Zan is my man. I asked him to expose Fengxian and uncover the hidden 'traitor' for Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo will only be grateful to me. However, if Dong Zhuo dies and Li Su and Dong Qing take power, it's hard to say what will happen."

Despite saying so, Wang Yun's face showed no sign of worry. He put down his pen and blew on the words on the paper. "Take your men to escort Gai'er and Jing'er back to Jinyang in the next few days!"

"Then you, Patriarch..."

Wang Yun smiled calmly and said, "I can't leave, and I still have things to do."

"What else? Is there any danger?"

"Nothing, the worst that can happen is losing my life. If I can eliminate all the treacherous villains, I'll die a worthy death!"

"Master..." Seeing Wang Yun's disregard for life and death, Steward Wang couldn't help but choke on sobs and bowed in tears, "Let this old servant accompany you so that I can continue to serve you when we get there."

Wang Yun waved his hand. "You've served me for over twenty years. You're the person I trust most in this world. Death is like the extinguishing of a candle. How can I, a dead man, serve you? I still have several children who need you to take care of them."

"Homeowner..."

Butler Wang was about to say something when Wang Yun interrupted him, "See if Zhongkang has any leave in the next two days. Call him to the palace. I have something to tell you."

Wang Yun put the written letter into the envelope and muttered to himself, "Dong Zhuo's trust in Lu Bu is really beyond my expectation. I wonder when he will make a decision..."

…………

"Father trusts Lu Bu too much. The matter is already so clear, but he still asks you to investigate." In Li Su's bedroom, Dong Qing couldn't help complaining after hearing what happened in the palace today.

Li Su hugged Dong Qing from behind, one hand gently stroking her belly, the other hand wandering all over her body, and whispered, "What are you investigating? It's just a formality. Minister Yang is in the same group with us, and the outcome is still decided by him and me."

Dong Qing held down his restless hands and asked in confusion, "Why did Minister Yang help you?"

Li Su sneered, "He's not helping me at all. He wants to kill Fengxian and cut off the prime minister's left and right arms. Few of those court officials will be truly loyal to the prime minister."

Dong Qing nodded, "That's true, but that old man would never have thought that you would still be around after Lu Bu died. He thought you really listened to him!"

Dong Qing sat up straight as he spoke. "Before we kill Lu Bu, we should not meet so often. If those old men knew that you are also my father's man, they might try to eliminate you again."

Li Su held her back in his arms, kissed her earlobe, and asked softly, "Can you really bear to kill Fengxian?"

Dong Qing's body stiffened slightly, and then he said angrily, "He has been deceiving me all along. I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I kill him."

"You're lying. You still like him in your heart..."

Dong Qing broke free from Li Su's hand. "What if I lied? Things have already come to this. There's no way he and I can be together anymore. Even if I can't bear to kill him, I'm going to cripple him. He'll have to rely on me from now on and beg me like a slave..."

Li Su said, "Based on my understanding of Fengxian, he would rather die than suffer such humiliation. I'm afraid your wish will not be fulfilled!"

Dong Qing sneered, "Isn't there still that woman? If I threaten her, Fengxian will compromise."

"Maybe! Even a hero can't resist a beautiful woman!"

Li Su recalled Zhang Mo's breathtakingly beautiful face, and his lower abdomen felt hot and evil fire rose. Compared with that woman, the man in front of him was far inferior in both appearance and brains, and his body was just barely usable.

…………

The next day, Dong Zhuo's imperial edict to reward various princes was delivered to Sishui Pass, and Lu Bu sent an envoy to announce the edict that day.

The imperial edicts proposed by Jia Xu were extremely vicious.

The first one was to depose the governor Qiao Mao, who forged documents from the Three Dukes and issued a statement to attack Dong, and replace him with Wang Gong, a subordinate of his mortal enemy Liu Dai, as the governor of Dongjun.

Liu Dai was delighted when he heard the decree. Although he knew that this was Dong Zhuo's intention, His Majesty was now in control of Dong Zhuo, and his meaning was His Majesty's meaning. Not only could Liu Dai take over Dongjun with full justification, but he could also seek revenge on Qiao Mao.

The second was to dismiss Han Fu from his post as governor of Jizhou and directly appoint Yuan Shao as his successor.

Yuan Shao had long coveted Jizhou and originally wanted to obtain it through the nine-word policy proposed by Zhang Mo. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo gave Jizhou to him directly. Now he could ask Han Fu for it with more justification.

After hearing the decree, Han Fu almost smashed the table with his fist. This was a blatant act of robbery, robbery!

Then Han Fu was afraid that Yuan Shao's prestige would increase, so he began to cut off the supply of food and grass to the Guandong Army.

The third one was sent to Nanyang, recommending Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, as the rear general, and Liu Biao as the governor of Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu, the arrogant man, was displeased when he heard the imperial edict. Yuan Shao, a slave-born child, could own an entire state, so why was he only given the title of rear general? What about Jingzhou? This fat piece of Jingzhou was actually given to someone else. How could this be acceptable? This was absolutely unacceptable!

Therefore, Yuan Shu no longer wanted to attack Dong Zhuo and prepared to call Sun Jian back to take over Jingzhou.

The fourth one is the rewards for Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin and others. Most of them are honorary titles, but they are enough for these people to compare and compare with each other.

Apart from Qiao Mao and Han Fu who were dismissed from office, Cao Cao was the only one among the many princes who did not receive any reward. Dong Zhuo also said that the position of General Fenwu previously granted by Yuan Shao was not approved by His Majesty, which meant that Cao Mengde was still a commoner.

Everyone benefited, the war had lasted long enough, the loyalty to Han had been expressed enough, and Han Fu no longer provided rations. After some discussion, everyone decided to go back to their own homes. Poor Sun Jian was left alone in Luoyang.

However, Lu Bu did not want to cause trouble for Sun Jian at this time. As long as Sun Jian retreated the same way, Lu Bu would not cause trouble for him again.

Although Lu Bu took in the remnants of Niu Fu and Hu Zhen, he only had 24,000 troops at his disposal. Together with the 8,000 troops of Li Su stationed in Luoyang, there were only 32,000 left. There was really no need for him to compete with Sun Jian. If a real fight broke out, no matter whether he won or lost, he would only suffer casualties and would not gain any benefit.

Lu Bu intended to let Sun Jian leave. Sun Jian assessed the strength of both sides and wisely withdrew from Luoyang. However, just as Sun Jian's team reached Dagu Pass, the envoy sent by Cao Cao caught up with him.
