Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Times create heroes, and heroes change times. There is always inevitability in the accidents of history. For example, when Emperor Xian fled to the east, even if Lu Bu had not shown mercy to Li Su's men, chaos would have broken out sooner or later as long as the person in charge of Chang'an was not a member of the gentry.

Upon hearing this news, Jia Xu seemed to understand something. He sighed, "This is the life-saving talisman Yuan Benchu ​​has chosen for himself! If Your Majesty truly flees Chang'an, he will undoubtedly be the first to run to seize the Emperor. The Emperor is in Jizhou, and even if you have the best reason, you cannot use force against him. Yuan Benchu ​​can use the Emperor to command the princes and dominate the world. He will be politically invincible forever. Just give him two years, and this wounded lion will be invincible again."

In history, Yuan Shao was very powerful and he simply disdained to welcome the emperor to his side and be tied up. However, the situation was completely different at this time. This time he sent troops to Bingzhou, but not only did he not gain any benefits, but he suffered heavy losses. He might be eliminated by Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan at any time. At this time, his only life-saving talisman was the emperor.

Therefore, he adopted Ju Su's suggestion and retreated to Jizhou as soon as possible to preserve his strength. He also used the relationship between the Yuan and Yang families to provoke the two Lis, further disrupting the situation in Chang'an and leading the emperor to flee.

"Then let's go ahead and bring His Majesty to Bingzhou. Across the river from Hedong County is Hongnong County. My lord, please send a troop of soldiers there to wait. It's better to strike first." Xu Shu said.

Lu Bu also knew that he had to go and bring the emperor first to prevent Yuan Shao's evil plan from succeeding. However, he did not want the emperor from the bottom of his heart. Just like Yuan Shao in history, he did not want someone to come and restrict his hands and feet, and he had to ask the emperor for instructions on everything. Although the emperor would not have much say in Bingzhou after coming, Lu Bu hated those red tapes and hated that he and Amo could only stand below and listen during meetings.

Moreover, when the emperor came, the court officials would certainly be dissatisfied with Amo's involvement in political affairs. Lu Bu would not allow anyone to say anything bad about Amo, not even the emperor.

As for those court officials, except for a few old officials of the Wang family who stood on his side, he didn't like any of the others. The key point was that he couldn't follow the example of Li Jue and Li Su and kill them if he didn't like them. Bringing all these people to Bingzhou would just bring a lot of trouble and burden.

Seeing that Lu Bu remained silent, everyone seemed to understand what he was thinking.

Chang Lin advised, "Your Majesty's prestige and virtue are widespread in Bingzhou, but your family background and reputation are ultimately not as strong as Yuan Benchu's. If you hadn't welcomed Lord Lu and Lord Cai and collected books from all over the world to establish a library, it would have been difficult to attract talented and ambitious people. If your Majesty served the Emperor, you could use his name to recruit talents in the future, which is one of the benefits."

"Secondly, although the Han Dynasty is weak, it still has four hundred years of power. My lord, you have the emperor in your hands, and you hold the righteousness of the world. You are serving the emperor to punish the rebellious. With this word, my lord, you can direct your troops wherever you want. Who dares to say anything?"

"Third, you can use Han Dynasty official positions to curry favor and win people's hearts. Compared to privately granting official positions to the princes, granting official positions in the name of the emperor is obviously more authoritative. With the emperor in hand, the princes will give you face, and you can also sell face to the Han Dynasty. Why not do it?

After experiencing a life in the dream, Lu Bu knew the benefits of holding the emperor's hand. Cao Mengde was promoted all the way to a high position just because he welcomed the emperor. In just one year, he was promoted from the Inspector of the Sili Army, the Recorder of the Shangshu Affairs, to the Minister of Works, the General of Chariots and Cavalry, and the Chief of Staff of all officials. Later, he frequently used the name of the emperor to give orders to the princes of the world.

"My lord, why are you hesitating?"

Chang Lin was puzzled, and the others also looked at Lu Bu strangely. Whether it was for his own benefit or to prevent Yuan Shao's plan from succeeding, there was nothing worth hesitating about welcoming the emperor.

Jia Xu looked up, saw Lü Bu's troubled expression, and asked, "My lord, are you afraid that the emperor will come and tell you what to do?"

Lu Bu said, "Messaging is one thing. I don't want to add a burden to my side. And then there are those court officials. They look down on me from the bottom of their hearts. Bringing Bingzhou here will be a bunch of trouble. Who knows if they will make small moves behind my back in the future."

Lu Bu didn't know about the historical event in which Emperor Xian of Han executed Cao Cao with a secret decree. He said this only because he knew that Dong Zhuo was brought down by these people in his dreams and in reality. He really disliked these people. Moreover, since Yuan Shao was able to influence this group of people to alienate the two Lis, who knew whether they would alienate his civil and military officials in Bingzhou in the future.

The emperor reluctantly wanted to accept it, but he didn't want any of the court officials.

Jia Xu understood what Lu Bu meant and continued to persuade him, "Everything has its pros and cons. Generally speaking, the advantages of having the emperor in your hands outweigh the disadvantages. At worst, we can put those who disobey under house arrest in the future."

Lü Bu continued, "I once served Dong Zhuo. If I were to welcome the emperor, those people would be dissatisfied and accuse me of being a remnant of Dong Zhuo, saying that I am holding the emperor hostage for ulterior motives. They are apt to distort the truth, and we cannot win over the Yuan, Cao, and Liu families."

This... does not seem impossible. After all, Lu Bu was once Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. Although they were divorced, it was an unchangeable fact that he was once Dong Zhuo's subordinate. He also led troops to fight against the Guandong Anti-Dong Alliance. If those princes did not want to obey the imperial edict, they would most likely join forces to confuse right and wrong and say that welcoming the emperor was kidnapping the emperor.

Although welcoming the emperor is actually holding the emperor hostage, we must welcome the emperor for the sake of face!

This is a tricky matter! Everyone looked at each other in silence.

After a while, Jia Xu's cloudy eyes lit up slightly, and the two mustaches on his lips moved. He seemed to want to say something, but he looked at the many people present, swallowed his words, and changed his words, "My lord, you may want to ask the lady about this matter and ask for her opinion. Perhaps she has a good solution."

Lu Bu nodded. "Yes! This is an important matter that needs to be discussed with Amo. Bo Huai, send a message to Zi Yan first, asking him to prepare his troops. If there is no other way, at least we must not let the emperor fall into Jizhou. We must not let Yuan Shao have a chance to recover."

"Yes!" Chang Lin bowed.

Lu Bu stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go back now!"

Everyone resigned.

Lu Bu stretched and walked out of the conference room. It was completely dark outside. The three little kids had gone back to their rooms after dinner. He went upstairs to Zhang Mo's room. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he did not wake her up. He went out to have a simple dinner and came back to call away the maid who was on guard at night. He stayed by her side.

Zhang Mo woke up in the middle of the night because she had to pee. Seeing Lu Bu sitting beside the bed, she asked in confusion, "Why are you here? It's so late, aren't you sleepy?"

Lu Bu helped her up and said, "I'm not sleepy. I want to stay with you."

"I want to go to the toilet!"

"I'll carry you!"

"I can walk by myself!"

Lu Bu picked her up without saying anything, and after she finished relieving herself, he fetched some water to clean her hands. He then carried her back to the bed. Zhang Mo moved closer and said, "Come up and sleep with me!"

Lu Bu took off his coat and went to bed. Zhang Mo asked, "What news did the eagle bring today? Did something happen?"

Lu Bu took her into his arms, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "Go to sleep first, and we'll talk tomorrow."

"I'm not sleepy now." She drew circles on his heart with her fingers and looked up at him. "Is there something on your mind?"

"Madam, you really understand me!" Lu Bu sighed softly, "There is a big matter that is difficult to decide."

Lu Bu repeated to her what everyone had said in today's meeting, as well as his own thoughts. Zhang Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "I do have a plan, but it's a bit treasonous. I wonder if my husband dares to do it."
