Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

What is a concubine? A concubine is just a plaything!

No matter how much Lu Bu doted on her, no matter how foolish he was, he would never hand over Jinyang to a concubine to support the overall situation.

Qu Yi felt like he seemed to know something but also seemed a little confused. It didn't make sense that the daughter of Situ Wang would allow a concubine to climb over her head?

"It doesn't matter whether she's my wife or my concubine. I called you here today to ask if you're going to repay me for saving my life."

Zhang Mo pointed at Qu Heng standing beside Qu Yi and said, "I saved his life and the lives of a group of people. Even your life was saved by my master and I. Are you, General, an ungrateful person?"

Qu Yi no longer worried about whether she was his wife or concubine. He smiled and said, "Of course, this general will never forget the kindness of the young doctor. How do you want me to repay you? How about giving myself to you? This general is handsome, elegant, and suave. You will definitely be very happy with me!"

This guy actually teased Amo. Xu Chu was furious and roared, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself. How can you compare to Fengxian? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."

Zhang Mo laughed instead of getting angry, "If you want to be my man, you have to be better than me. Is that your level?"

She shook her head and said, "If it weren't for my husband's help at Jie Bridge, I don't know if you would be here now!"

She actually looked down on me? Qu Yi angrily said, "If the army hadn't been struck by the plague, why would I need his help?"

Zhang Mo thought about it and nodded in agreement. "That's true. That fight was indeed an accident. Why don't we have another match to see if you, Qu Yi, are truly undeserved."

"How do you compare?" Qu Yi was obviously unconvinced.

Zhang Mo said, "The simplest thing is, you attack the city and I defend it, for two days."

"Two days?" Qu Yi smiled, as if he had seen through her scheme. "Are you scared, little doctor? If you are, tell me. I will be gentle with you!"

Zhang Mo feigned composure and said, "Who said I was scared? Do you dare to answer?"

Qu Yi blew away a strand of hair that fell on his forehead and said nonchalantly, "Tell me, what if I win?"

"If you win, I will be your prisoner."

Qu Yi laughed heartily with satisfaction, but then she added, "But if you lose, you must bring your Xiandeng Camp and surrender to Bingzhou, and from now on, you will obey my orders."

Qu Yi laughed heartily and said, "Will I lose? To a young lady like you? If that's the case, I have no face to stay in the Central Plains anymore. I'll pack up and return to Liangzhou as soon as possible."

"So much nonsense! Do you dare to gamble?"

"Let's bet!" Qu Yi tightened the reins. "Since you're a woman, I'll give you a little slack. Today's the day to start. If I can't take Jinyang before dark tomorrow, I'll be at your beck and call from now on."

He turned his horse's head and gave her a dazzling look, "Just wait to become my, Qu Yi's, woman!"

Watching him walk away, Zhang Mo said to Juxiang, "Send a message to Fengxian and Anren, it's time to prepare dumplings!"

Juxiang nodded and went back to the city to pass on the message. Xu Chu followed Zhang Mo and asked, "Will that bastard Qu Yi abide by the bet if he loses?"

"will not!"

"Then why bother? And you've set a two-day deadline? Aren't you just rushing him to attack the city!"

"I'm not betting with Qu Yi, I'm betting with Yuan Shao!" Zhang Mo frowned slightly and sighed.

…………

"Yuan Shang is not dead? And he has returned to Benchu's side?"

In Xiuwu County, Cao Cao was stunned upon hearing the news. What was Lü Bu up to? First shock him, then surprise him, and finally influence him?

"This is strange! Lü Bu, relying on his own bravery and the elite soldiers and generals, is as proud as a rooster. How could he even think of trying to influence his enemies? This doesn't make sense!"

Cao Cao muttered to himself, and suddenly, he thought of something and said to the messenger, "Hurry up and go to Shangdang to tell Benchu ​​that Lü Bu might not be at Hukou Pass right now. Tell him to capture the pass as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The soldier responded and turned to leave. Cao Cao then called out to the soldiers standing guard outside, "Go and get the military advisor!"

Xi Zhicai was soon invited over. He was extremely surprised to hear that Yuan Shang was not dead but had been sent back to Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao said, "Yuan Benchu ​​is sometimes like a woman, indecisive. Now that his son has been lost and found, he must be playing both father and mother. He won't let go until he has been with him for ten days or so. I bet he's been cuddling his little son even when he sleeps these days."

Xi Zhicai sighed and said, "Lü Bu is well aware of his character, so he will definitely seize this opportunity to return and lift the siege of Jinyang."

"No!" Cao Cao shook his head. "This still doesn't seem right."

"What's wrong?" Xi Zhicai was a little confused.

Cao Cao asked, "Do you think this battle went too smoothly? Aside from Zhang Liao holding out for a while outside Chaoge City, Song Xian retreated without much resistance at Sishui Pass. And then there's Qu Yi. Jinyang is Lü Bu's stronghold, so how could he be brought to the gates so easily?"

Xi Zhicai thought back to the recent battles and said, "Lü Bu's army seems to be losing ground, but judging by the casualties, ours has suffered even greater losses. Zhang Liao lost hundreds of soldiers just outside Chaoge City, while we only lost a little over a hundred when we breached Sishui Pass that day."

"We've been fighting for so long, and except for Shangdang, where Benchu ​​Gong himself has been retreating, everywhere else it's Lü Bu's army that's retreating. This is completely inconsistent with Lü Bu's fighting style."

Cao Cao nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered, "They're luring you into a trap. The first trap is Jinyang. I'm afraid Qu Yi and his men are in great danger."

Xi Zhicai continued, "If there's one, there's another. This time, Jizhou has almost sent out its entire army. If General Qu is captured in Jinyang, the Bingzhou army can invade Changshan and Zhao from Jingxing, and then join forces with the Shangdang troops to encircle Weijun. Duke Benchu ​​will be trapped."

This time, Yuan and Cao sent out their troops at the same time. Due to their superior military strength, no one thought it was unreasonable that Lu Bu was losing ground. However, Lu Bu's return of Yuan Shang made Cao Cao smell something unusual. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that his own front line had been advancing for such a long time, but the opponent's troops had not suffered any losses at all. On the contrary, the shrinking front line was more conducive to Lu Bu's deployment of troops and concentrating his forces to defeat them one by one.

The other party is trying to turn defense into offense!

Cao Cao sighed, "I've underestimated her! I heard from Prince Wang that when his daughter was twelve, she led her troops to the border to plunder and kill the Hu people. At such a young age, she dared to gamble her life with hundreds of troops. Now, with Lü Bu's support, she can definitely kill Qu Yi and retake Jizhou by staking Jinyang. This woman's strategy and courage far surpass most heroes of our time!"

Xi Zhicai realized that he was talking about Lu Bu's wife. Yuan Rang said that his eye was injured because his lord wanted to snatch someone from Lu Bu.

"In that case, it was the best strategy to follow the lord's advice and go to Shangdang to encircle Lu Bu first. I miscalculated!" Xi Zhicai said with a guilty look on his face.

"Zhicai, don't blame yourself. It wasn't a bad idea to pacify Hanoi first. However, we didn't expect her to be so bold as to use Jinyang as bait. Now, how can we resolve this crisis for Benchu?"

Xi Zhicai said, "I'm afraid there's no solution for General Qu. Now it all depends on whether Lord Benchu ​​can capture Hukou Pass and occupy Tunliu County before Lü Bu returns. If he can hold the key roads in the Shangdang Basin and wait for our army, we might have a chance of victory. But if Lord Benchu ​​is slow, we'll quickly retreat to Jizhou to preserve our strength and wait for the right opportunity."

"If Benchu ​​retreats, what about our army?"
