Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

The next morning, Lu Bu got up before dawn. Zhang Mo wanted to see him off, but he stuffed her back into the quilt.

"It's cold, sleep a little longer, don't get up in the cold wind."

She poked her head out from under the covers and said with a hint of resentment, "I want to see you a few more times!"

Looking at her little girl's posture, Lu Bu smiled dotingly, "I don't want to leave you like this!" He leaned over and pressed a kiss on her lips, "Be good, I'll be back soon!"

But she hugged him again, buried her face in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I will miss you very much..."

Lu Bu hugged her back reluctantly. For a moment, he really didn't want to leave. He didn't want the world anymore. He just wanted to take her and the children to build a small nest next to the hot springs behind Lingquan Village. Having her and the children was enough.

However, she just hugged him and pushed him away again, "Hurry up and pack up, don't keep Yingwei and the others waiting for too long! I had someone make some buns last night, take them with you on the road."

"it is good!"

Lu Bu reluctantly got up and dressed, looking back every few steps as he left the room. As soon as he left, Zhang Mo also got up. She quickly put on her coat, grabbed a cloak and wrapped it around herself, then hurried out of the room, crossed the inner courtyard, walked through the corridor, and then crossed the front yard to the gate.

He had just reached the corner of the street ahead when, as if by telepathy, he turned back the moment he turned. In the pitch-black night, a thin figure was standing beside the stone lions outside the gate, silently watching him leave. Lu Bu's eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help but think of what she once said was her biggest wish in life: to count money until her hands cramped, and to sleep until she woke up naturally.

However, since she married him, she has had endless things to worry about every day. This time he went to war, and she had to do the reorganization of Qu Yi's surrendered soldiers and the aftermath work. In the future, as the territory becomes larger and larger, there will be more and more things to do. When will she be able to be a carefree landlord?

The Red Hare turned onto the main street. The city gates ahead were already open. Hua Xiong and his Flying Bear Army were already lined up outside the city. Lü Bu blinked, letting the cool breeze dry the moisture from his eyes. Family, country, and the world—not just for him and her, but for all these brothers outside the city who had been with him through thick and thin. How many of them might die on the battlefield, buried in a foreign land?

Thinking back to the letter she wrote to me when she left that year, what she really wanted was a world without war and killing. She wanted all the people in the world to have enough food to eat and all the children to go to school!

"drive!"

Lü Bu kicked his legs against the horse's belly, and his Red Hare broke into a gallop. Hua Xiong waved his hand, and the knights followed suit. As Lü Bu passed by the column, he glanced at Yu Fuluo's brother Huochequan and his son Liu Bao. Suddenly remembering something, he slowed his horse and said to them, "You two will stay in Jinyang for now and help Madam organize the surrendered soldiers. You will obey her orders and return after the battle of Shangdang is over."

"Yes!" Huochequan immediately stopped his mount and responded with a fist salute.

He knew that his lord did not trust his brother, and he brought them both back because he was afraid that his brother would rebel and surrender to Yuan Shao in Shangdang.

My brother is indeed a fence-sitter. When he saw Dong Zhuo's power, he wanted to join Dong Zhuo. Later, when Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he went to join Yuan Shao. Later, when he saw Lu Bu returning to Bingzhou, he came to join Lu Bu. This time, when he saw Yuan and Cao coming with such momentum, he had the idea of ​​returning to Yuan Shao's side again, and he completely forgot how he was driven out and killed by Yuan Shao when he left Weijun.

"When your Excellency kills people, you are scarier than the gods and ghosts on the grassland. Fortunately, my uncle persuaded my father that day. Otherwise, your Excellency would not let us go even if we returned to the royal court." The ten-year-old Liu Bao looked at Lu Bu's receding back and said with lingering fear.

Huochequan turned his horse's head, "Yes! I hope that after this incident, brother can see clearly who is worthy of our loyalty and stop doing foolish things."

The two men rode their horses to the city gate, and the gatekeepers led them to Lu's mansion to meet Zhang Mo.

…………

As the sky brightened, outside Hukou Pass, there was Yuan Shao's military camp.

Yuan Shao had just been woken up by Tian Feng. Sitting in the meeting room, he looked at Tian Feng with a grumpy expression, "What's so urgent that you called me here so early?"

Tian Feng bowed and said anxiously, "My lord, the Third Young Master has been back for four days. If you don't send troops now, it will be too late!"

Hearing him urging him to dispatch troops again, Yuan Shao said impatiently, "Are you so sure that Lü Bu isn't inside the pass right now? What if he's deliberately luring me out and setting an ambush? I've already said that we'll wait for the victory report from Meng De and Jun Yi, and then we'll join forces to encircle Shangdang. We'll surely capture him."

He snorted in dissatisfaction, "There's clearly a safer way, yet you insist on making me take such a risk."

Yuan Shao wanted to ask, "What are your intentions?", but seeing Tian Feng's worried look, he didn't say it. Instead, he said, "Besides, Lü Fengxian returned my son safely this time. How can I immediately turn on him? Such an action is truly unethical."

Tian Feng ignored Yuan Shao's displeasure and directly asked, "How can you be so sure that General Qu and Cao Gong won't encounter any problems? Lü Feng first returned the Third Young Master and then deliberately spoke of his loyalty and trustworthiness, hoping to make you hesitate so that he could return and lift the siege of Jinyang."

He snorted coldly, "My lord, do you understand morality now? If you were to talk about morality, you shouldn't have sent troops to Bingzhou without reason. Now that this has happened, there's no need to worry about morality anymore. You're so hesitant and indecisive, and you're bound to be defeated sooner or later!"

Tian Feng's words made Yuan Shao's face turn pale and red, and he had no way to refute it!

When Yuan Shao wanted to join forces with Cao Cao to attack Bingzhou, Tian Feng disagreed. At that time, Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao with moral principles, asking him to eliminate Gongsun Zan first in the name of revenge for his royal relative Liu Yu. This was both legal and moral, and he could take advantage of the situation to annex You and Qing states. However, Yuan Shao did not listen. He felt that Gongsun Zan was far less threatening than Lu Bu. In addition, Cao Cao also wanted to eliminate Lu Bu first, so the two brothers hit it off and joined forces to attack Bingzhou.

"In my opinion, at best General Qu will return empty-handed, and at worst his entire army may be annihilated."

Yuan Shao said, "Yuan Hao is exaggerating. How many soldiers are there defending Jinyang? I have already transferred all 20,000 troops from Changshan State, and with Jun Yi leading the troops, if he returns without success, he won't have to come back to see me again."

Tian Feng's face was filled with frustration. "My Lord, if Lü Bu hadn't returned, I had every confidence that General Qu could have taken Jinyang. But now Lü Bu must have gone back to Jinyang. If General Qu is caught off guard and he attacks the rear during the siege, what do you think will be the outcome?"

Yuan Shao hesitated again when he thought of the might of Lü Bu's cavalry charge. He raised an eyebrow and asked uncertainly, "Does Lü Fengxian really dare to leave Shangdang at this time?"

"Why not? If he goes back, at most he'll lose Shangdang, but if he doesn't go back, he'll lose Taiyuan. Comparatively speaking, which one is more important?"

"My lord, don't forget that there is a Mr. Zhang beside Lü Fengxian whom you have always believed in as an immortal. He is a man of unparalleled wisdom and strategy. It is not impossible for him to repel General Qu."

Speaking of Mr. Zhang, Yuan Shao's expression became serious. If it was really as Tian Feng said, he would have no chance if he didn't take action this time. Why not take a gamble?

"What Yuan Hao said is quite right. I will send a vanguard to Hukou Pass to investigate."

Hearing that he was finally willing to send troops, Tian Feng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say something else when he saw someone rushing in from outside the door, "Master, this is bad, the young master is missing!"
