Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Night fell again, and a bonfire was lit outside the tent. Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others sat around the bonfire, discussing whether Lu Bu should return to Bingzhou or send troops to Chang'an.

Theoretically, Dong Zhuo was dead, and Lu Bu, who was labeled a "traitor" by Dong Zhuo, had no reason to lead troops to attack Chang'an. But emotionally speaking, Wang Situ died for Lu Bu. If he ignored it and went back to Bingzhou directly, Amo would definitely be disappointed with him.

Xu Chu and others believed that Lu Bu would definitely go back to bring Wang Situ's body back to Jinyang, but Zhang Liao and others strongly disagreed with sending troops now.

As everyone was guessing, they saw Lu Bu coming out and they all stood up and looked at him.

"How is Amo?" Xu Chu asked first.

Lu Bu waved his hand for everyone to sit down. He also sat on a small stool and whispered, "She fell asleep. She should feel better tomorrow. She doesn't seem to know that Li Su intends to hang Wang Situ's body at Qingming Gate. Don't let her know about this."

Xu Chu and the others nodded in agreement. Zhang Liao then asked, "General, are you going to Chang'an?"

Lu Bu nodded, "We must go this time."

"How many soldiers are you bringing?"

Lu Bu thought for a moment and said, "We can't have too many people. I'll just take 500 people with me, using the excuse of returning to Jinyang to escort my father-in-law's body back."

Zhang Liao frowned. "What if Li Suruo refuses or threatens to give it to him?"

"Don't worry, Wenyuan." Lu Bu sneered, "I know him. I have my own way to make him agree."

Upon hearing that Lü Bu was planning to go to Chang'an to claim Wang Yun's body, Zhao Kang nodded in satisfaction and stepped forward, saying, "General, the master of the family has something else to tell you before he dies."

Lu Bu looked at him and said, "Sir, please speak."

Zhao Kang said, "The head of the family said that when the general sent troops to Chang'an before Dong Zhuo was defeated, it was to fight against the traitor and he was a meritorious official of the Han Dynasty. Leading troops there now would be treason. The general has finally broken away from his ties with Dong Zhuo. If he is not careful, he will be accused of seeking revenge for Dong Zhuo. If the general then goes to war with Li Su, who was instrumental in killing Dong Zhuo, he will be considered a remnant of Dong Zhuo."

"Therefore, the head of the family advises the general not to start a war with Li Su. The general can use the excuse of killing Dong Zhuo's family as an excuse to send troops to Mei County. This will show loyalty to the Han Dynasty and obtain food and supplies."

Xu Rong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and laughed, "Master Wang, this is a brilliant idea, a brilliant one. I heard that Dong Zhuo built a fort in Mei County long ago and stored all the looted property there. Bingzhou is poor and suffering from severe population loss. With this investment in Mei County, the general can recruit a large number of refugees and replenish the population."

"As for Li Su, I feel it's not appropriate to start a war with him at this time. Even if the general wins, it won't benefit you much. It's just a way to vent your anger."

Lü Bu nodded. Indeed, if he attacked Chang'an now, he would be following the same path as Li Jue and Guo Si in his dreams. Furthermore, he had planned so much just to escape the vortex of the imperial capital. Now that he had his troops, a trip to Mei County would provide him with military supplies and allow him to rescue Dong Zhuo's family.

I remember in my dream that after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun immediately sent Huangfu Song to attack Mei County and eventually slaughtered the entire Dong family. After Li Su resolved the situation here, he would definitely send troops to Mei County as well. That guy was so cruel that he could poison and kill even his own flesh and blood, let alone Dong Zhuo's family?

Zhao Kang added, "Li Su's focus is on you, General. He has sent many scouts east of Chang'an, fearing you will gather a large army and return to settle accounts with him. He can't take care of Mei County right now, so General, you must act quickly."

Zhang Liao said, "Fengxian is now Li Su's biggest concern. If he doesn't get rid of you, he will probably be in turmoil day and night."

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I will lead 500 cavalry to Chang'an to claim Wang Situ's body and distract Li Su. Hua Xiong will lead 1,000 cavalry to Hedong, enter Zuo Fengyi and head for Mei County. Wen Yuan will lead a group of men to support us from behind, in case we are attacked by Bai Bo along the way. We will then see if things go smoothly in Chang'an. If so, I will return with you on the way back."

"This matter should be done quickly rather than slowly. We should set off early tomorrow morning, and the rest of you should return to Bingzhou first."

After everything was arranged, everyone went back to make preparations, leaving only Xu Chu, Xu Huang and others by the fire.

Lü Bu said to Xu Chu, "Tomorrow you will follow Xu Rong's team and escort Amo back to Jinyang. Don't tell her that I'm going to Chang'an, so she doesn't worry."

"Then how should I answer when she asks?"

"Just tell her I'm going to Mei County to rob the fort, and let her wait for me in Jinyang without worry."

Xu Chu looked embarrassed, "Why don't you tell her tomorrow morning? I won't lie..."

Lu Bu also looked embarrassed, "I won't lie..."

"Then let's take her with us!" Xu Huang said.

Lu Bu shook his head. "I'm afraid that if that madman Li Su really hangs Wang Situ at Qingming Gate, how sad she would be if she saw it? And what if Li Su wants her to be exchanged? If I stop him, A-Mo might blame me in the future. If I don't stop him, it would be like asking for my life. It's better not to let her know."

Xu Chu nodded. "That makes sense. That guy is incredible. He would even kill his own wife for power. How could you, Fengxian, ever be a brother to such a man?"

"I'm blind!" Lu Bu's eyes flashed coldly.

In fact, from the moment Li Su slept with Dong Qing, one should have seen through his character. However, at that time, Lu Bu only wanted to get rid of Dong Qing. Although he felt a little uncomfortable about this matter, he also felt that he had finally found a way to get rid of Dong Qing, and he quickly put that discomfort behind him.

Later, Li Su exposed Lu Bu's relationship with the Black Mountain bandits, which was a complete betrayal of Lu Bu. In addition to anger, Lu Bu was more disappointed and uncomfortable. In his dream, he had been betrayed once by Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others, and he paid the price with his life that time. If he had not been accidentally injured this time, he might never have left Chang'an after entering it.

It is understandable that Li Su killed Dong Zhuo in order to clear his name, because he had done so in his dream. However, he even spared the pregnant Dong Qing. In order to deal with him, he threatened Wang Situ and then A Mo, which added a strong disgust to Lu Bu's anger and disappointment.

Lu Bu snapped the stick in his hand, stood up and clapped his hands, "I will lead 500 cavalrymen to set out tonight. Please help me take good care of Amo."

Xu Chu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Fengxian, I'm here. You should be careful too. If Li Su's demands are too much, it's okay if you don't go back. Amo won't blame you. Please don't get hurt, otherwise I'm afraid she won't be able to survive."

Lu Bu patted Xu Chu's shoulder, "I understand! Thank you!"

He took one last look at the dark tent not far away, then turned and strode away from the ferry.

Inside the tent, Amina looked at Zhang Mo, who was sitting awake on the couch, and asked in confusion, "Why are you pretending to be asleep?"

"I'm tired……"

"If you're tired, take a nap. Are you hungry? How about I get you something to eat?"

Zhang Mo shook her head, her voice full of fatigue. "I just suddenly don't want to do anything, don't want to think about anything, I just want to go out and relax."

Amina said, "Then shall I go for a walk with you?"

Zhang Mo shook her head again. "Lend me your pen and paper. I'll write a letter, and you can give it to Lu Bu tomorrow."

Amina finally reacted and asked in surprise, "You want to leave him? You don't want to help him anymore?"

"It's not really leaving, I just want to go out and travel with the miracle doctor..."

"Traveling? Then when will you be back?" Amina asked timidly. "You'd better go and talk to him yourself. I'm afraid he'll get angry."

She was silent, staring blankly at the dancing flames outside the tent. After a long moment, a soft, shallow voice suddenly rang out, "With Mr. Wenhe and Wenyuan and the others, he can quickly gain a foothold in Bingzhou without my help, and can clean up all the forces in Bingzhou... I just want to leave for a while... to see how history will develop without my participation..."

If she had not stopped Lu Bu from killing Cao Cao, Lu Bu would not have almost died from the arrow. If she had not played tricks, Cao Cao would not have recognized her and would not have thought of using her to deal with Lu Bu. Her participation might only backfire. It would be better for her to try to be a bystander of history.

Amina was completely confused. "How will history unfold..."

Zhang Mo didn't answer her, but looked at her expectantly, "You will help me, right?"

Amina nodded blankly. Zhang Mo continued, "Please prepare some money for my journey, and then tell the doctor that I will take him away from the barracks at midnight tonight."

"How are you going to leave?"

"Lü Bu didn't restrict my freedom. Once he falls asleep, I can leave openly."

Amina nodded blankly again, "That makes sense!"

However, Zhang Mo's worries were unnecessary. After she finished writing the letter to Lu Bu, she found out that he had actually led his troops to Mei County overnight. Zhang Mo didn't want to think about why he was in such a hurry to go to Mei County, so she packed her luggage and left the military camp with Zhang Ji that night.
