Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

"Brother, why are you so cold to Fengxian? Father has already told us that the Wang family and Fengxian will be on the same boat in the future. Fengxian is now the governor of Bingzhou. He will not do anything to the Wang family for the sake of father and Amo. However, we must not take advantage of his favor and become arrogant. Doing so will only make things difficult for Amo."

In the Wang family hall, Wang Ding disagreed with Wang Gai.

Wang Jing followed up, "Third brother is right. Big brother was too unfriendly to Fengxian just now. He drove him away without even a cup of tea."

"My butt hasn't even warmed up yet." Wang Ding added.

Wang Gai looked at his two younger brothers unhappily, "Does he need a cup of tea? What he lacks is the attitude of my Wang family."

He took a sip of the tea the maid had just brought him and said to Wang Jing, "Isn't he currently collecting grain and fodder from various counties? The fact that you've been sending 50,000 dan of grain to his camp with such fanfare these past few days is much friendlier than a cup of tea."

Assuming that one soldier consumes three stone of grain per month, 50,000 stone is enough for more than 16,000 soldiers to eat for a month. However, Lu Bu now has only 8,000 soldiers stationed in Taiyuan County, which is enough for him to have food and grass for two months. The Wang family's attitude is very clear.

Wang Ding laughed and joked, "Brother, you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart!"

Wang Gai put down his teacup and snorted, "Father has placed his bets on him. If I really go against him, not only will Father's efforts be in vain, but we won't be able to defeat him either."

"So, brother, you know everything. I thought you were going to go against him because of the matter between father and A-Mo!"

Wang Gai waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Third brother, quickly find Amo. Second brother, go get the food. Tomorrow, you, Yanxi, and Yanyun (Wang Chen and Wang Ling's courtesy names, both Wang Yun's nephews) will report to Fengxian. How he arranges the three of you is entirely up to him."

"What about you, brother?" Wang Jing asked.

"I'll get the position of the Wang family's head first, and I'll deal with the rest after A-Mo comes back."

Although Wang Yun is a direct descendant of the Wang family, he is actually from the Wang family of Qi County. The previous clan leader is from the direct branch of the Wang family of Jinyang. The old clan leader has been in poor health recently, and both sides are vying for the position of the next clan leader.

Wang Ding smiled and said, "Now that we have Fengxian's support, isn't the position of clan leader easy to obtain?"

Wang Gai smiled and said, yes, Fengxian needs the Wang family to take the lead and set an example so that he can quickly conquer the various families in Taiyuan. The Wang family also needs Fengxian as a backer.

The Wang family donated 50,000 shi of grain to Lu Bu at one time. This attitude could not be clearer. The families that had been waiting and watching also expressed their attitudes. Lu Bu raised more than 300,000 shi of grain this time, which was enough to meet Bai Bo's food needs.

…………

At this time, Yu Furuo, who was stationed in Wucheng, Jizhou, also received an olive branch from Lu Bu.

"Lü Bu has returned to Bing Province with over 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of whom are elite cavalry from Liang Province and Bing Province. If I surrender to him, he will surely send troops to help me return to the royal court and eliminate the rebels."

Yu Furuo paced back and forth in the hall with some excitement. He had been wandering in the Han Dynasty for two years and dreamed of returning to the Xiongnu.

It turned out that Yu Fuluo wanted to surrender to Dong Zhuo, but not long after, the Guandong coalition launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo. He then set his sights on Yuan Shao, who was a descendant of three generations of officials. Yuan Shao promised that he would help him get the royal court back after he took Bingzhou in the future, but when would that day come?

Zhang Yang said, "Mr. Benchu ​​has already promised to help you. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to turn to someone else?"

"What's wrong with that? I didn't sell myself to Yuan Benchu." Yu Fuluo rolled his eyes and looked at Zhang Yang with a stern gaze. "You're also from Bingzhou. Why don't you come with me to join Lü Bu this time?"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "I won't go. Bingzhou is too chaotic. Besides, Lü Bu is good at fighting, but not necessarily at governing. It's safer for me to stay with Lord Benchu."

"You're stupid! What's Yuan Benchu's background? What's your background? You don't have the martial arts of Yan Liang, nor the fighting skills of Qu Yi and Zhang He. How could he possibly use you? Lü Bu, on the other hand, has a humble background, but we're from the same hometown. He'll definitely treat us well."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "If you want to leave, go by yourself. I won't leave."

Gu Mian: "If you don't want to leave, forget it!"

Yu Fuluo said this and turned to go and organize his troops. Zhang Yang reminded him from behind, "If you want to leave, do it as soon as possible. It's best to take less baggage and supplies, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Bingzhou."

Yu Fuluo paused, "What are you talking about? Yuan Benchu ​​wouldn't be that stingy, would he? I'm not his subordinate, so leaving him wouldn't be considered a betrayal."

Zhang Yang said, "It's not a betrayal, but the person you're going to surrender to is Lü Bu. Anyway, you just have to listen to me."

Did Lü Bu and Yuan Shao have a grudge? Yu Fuluo pondered for a long time, and all he knew was that they had crossed paths during the battle at Sishui Pass. However, at that time, Lü Bu was just a general under Dong Zhuo, so fighting on the battlefield was perfectly normal, and it didn't count as a feud, right?

Yu Furuo was still a little confused, so he nodded randomly and turned away.

…………

Jizhou, Yecheng!

As soon as Yu Fuluo mobilized his troops, Yuan Shao received the news.

"He wants to return to Bingzhou and join Lu Bu?" Without any intelligence, Yuan Shao could guess what Yu Furuo wanted to do by mobilizing his troops.

Xu You nodded. "Of course it is. Yu Fuluo only wants to return to the royal court. Now that Lü Bu has taken control of Bingzhou, following him will surely help him realize his wish faster."

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, "This fellow Lu Bu is not easy to deal with!"

He paced back and forth in the hall, his hands behind his back. "To the north, Gongsun Bogui is gaining strength, to the west, Black Mountain and Lu Bu are raging like wolves and tigers, to the east, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are also ready to make a move, and to the south, that brat Yuan Shu is always trying to oppose me. I just took over Jizhou, and now I'm surrounded by enemies on all sides. What should I do?"

Xu You said, "The situation is a bit dire, but not as bad as you describe. Yuan Shu is plotting to seize Liu Biao's Jingzhou. You could first form an alliance with Liu Jingsheng to jointly deal with Yuan Shu. Then, nominate Cao Mengde as the governor of Dongjun. This way, they can fight against the Black Mountain Army in the west, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou in the east, and Yuan Shu in the south. This will help relieve a lot of pressure on you."

"As for Lü Bu, his Bingzhou situation is far worse than Jizhou's. He won't be able to expand further within the next two to three years. Gongsun Bogui is still under the control of Youzhou Governor Liu Yu, so he won't be able to make any major moves for the time being. My lord, all you need to do this year is prepare your troops and wait for the right opportunity."

After listening to Xu You's analysis, Yuan Shao's brows gradually relaxed. Indeed, compared with Lu Bu's messy Bingzhou, the situation in Jizhou is much better.

"That being said, I cannot allow Yu Fuluo to return to Bingzhou to help Lü Bu."

Xu You said, "We really can't keep Yu Fuluo alive, otherwise the Southern Xiongnu will soon become Lu Bu's ally. My lord, send General Qu to hunt him down!"

…………

Yu Fuluo, who didn't understand the grudge between Yuan Shao and Lu Bu, didn't listen to Zhang Yang. He packed up a bunch of food and supplies that Yuan Shao had rewarded him with before and then slowly left Wucheng. The team had just reached the south of Yecheng and had not yet entered Henei County when they were caught up by Qu Yi's men.

There were a thousand soldiers skilled in cavalry and archery in Qu Yi's vanguard camp. Yu Fuluo and his group of Xiongnu soldiers were no match for them and were chased all the way until they fled to Dangyin. Yu Fuluo was able to get rid of Qu Yi with the protection of his personal guards. In the end, only dozens of the two thousand cavalrymen escaped back to Bingzhou.

Jia Xu had long anticipated that Yu Furuo might be hunted down by Yuan Shao, but he did not let Lu Bu remind Yu Furuo.

Yu Furuo has 5,000 Xiongnu cavalry under his command. Although not strong, he is not weak either. If Lu Bu cannot fulfill his promise as soon as possible, this guy may become impatient and cause trouble. It is better to use Yuan Shao to weaken him to the point where he can be manipulated by others.

As for Yu Furo himself, it was naturally good that he could come back alive. It was not a big deal if he died at the hands of Yuan Shao. His brother Huochequan and his son Liu Bao were in Shangdang. The Xiongnu had a tradition of the younger brother succeeding the elder brother. It was reasonable for Huochequan to inherit Yu Furo's position as Chanyu after his death. All Lu Bu needed was someone who could represent the Southern Xiongnu, and he did not lack his few Xiongnu cavalry.

The situation is just right now. Yu Fuluo only has 3,000 people left in Shangdang, and he has also made enemies with Yuan Shao. From now on, he can only follow Lu Bu. As for when Lu Bu will help him attack Wang Ting, that is up to Lu Bu to decide.
