Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Yanzhou, Changyi City.

In just over half a month, Cao Cao returned here again, but as a prisoner.

Lü Bu met him in Cao Cao's former meeting hall, sitting in the main seat he once held. He watched him being brought in, heavily bound. He felt secretly pleased, but with a serious expression, he feigned surprise and said to Ma Chao, "Mengqi, why are you treating Cao Gong like this? Untie him quickly."

Ma Chao bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, this officer is extremely treacherous and cunning. To prevent him from escaping, I had to tie him up with ropes!"

Seeing that he spoke so seriously, Zhang Mo shook her head and laughed. It turned out that this kid was a person who protected his own mistakes and held a grudge. He was angry that Ma Dai was killed by Dian Wei, so he tied Cao Cao up like a dumpling on purpose. But he didn't think about the fact that the other person's son also died in his hands.

"He can't survive five rounds against you and can't escape. Untie him!" Lu Bu ordered.

Zhang Mo turned her head and looked at him with a little surprise. She thought this guy would retaliate against him like Cao Cao did to him in the dream, but she didn't expect him to be so magnanimous.

Ma Chao reluctantly untied Cao Cao, and Lu Bu sent him off to rest. Then he said to Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, please take a seat. If you have any questions, feel free to tell me everything I know."

Cao Cao twisted his arms, which were a little numb from being tied, and walked to the side, crossed his legs, and sat down. He picked up the tea on the table and took a few gulps. Then he said bluntly, "I haven't had a good meal in a few days. Could you please give me a meal before my execution?"

Lu Bu ordered his servants to serve the meal.

Soon the maid brought two dishes, a soup and a bowl of rice. Cao Cao wolfed down the food, burped and asked for wine, which Lu Bu also satisfied him.

Cao Cao sipped his wine for a while, his emotions brewing. The first thing he said was, "The only thing I admire about you two is that you did something I always wanted to do but couldn't and didn't dare to do!"

"I'm afraid you won't believe me, but at first I really just wanted to save the Han Dynasty. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Dong Zhuo's tyranny, all I thought about day and night was how to quell the rebellions, how to rectify the government, and eliminate the treacherous officials. I always thought that the cause of the chaos was the eunuchs, the relatives of the emperor, Dong Zhuo, and even Emperor Ling. However, the battle between the princes of Guandong and Dong Zhuo made me see clearly that the culprits were actually the aristocratic families..."

"What do you want to say?" Lu Bu interrupted him impatiently.

Cao Cao glanced at the two of them and said, "I just find it very strange. How did you two see the root of the chaos so early on? How did you immediately decide to use the common people to fight against the aristocratic families?"

He looked Zhang Mo straight in the eye. "Although you are the adopted daughter of the Wang family, you are also included in the family tree. When you first entered Bingzhou, you didn't rely on the Wang family's rapid rise. Instead, you sacrificed your own interests to pave the way for Lu Bu. You even used all your life's knowledge to help him. Aren't you afraid that he will destroy the bridge after crossing the river?"

Zhang Mo said righteously, "I'm not helping him. I'm helping the enslaved people of the world, saving the descendants of the Chinese people from being slaughtered by foreign races, and upholding justice in the world!"

Cao Cao glanced sideways with an expression that said, "Go on!"

Lu Bu said, "You don't believe the normal reason. If I tell you, it's because she came from two thousand years in the future. She knows that Han territory will be divided up by the Hu people and the Han people will be slaughtered. Therefore, she wants to unify the country as soon as possible. Do you believe it?"

Cao Cao once again looked as if he didn't believe you were lying. Two thousand years later? He would rather believe that it was really the reincarnation of an immortal!

"Since Brother Meng De doesn't believe a word of what I'm saying, I won't waste any more time saying anything. You can choose how to die: poison, hanging, or beheading?"

When Lü Bu threatened to send him to hell after a disagreement, Cao Cao immediately regained his composure and said, "I really want to know the reason. Why would you two deceive a dying man like this?"

"Who fooled you?" Lü Bu said impatiently, "I, Lü Fengxian, always keep my word. I tell you everything I know. How could I fool a dead man like you with lies?!"

Hearing him speak so solemnly and confidently, Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder, could this really be true? From two thousand years in the future? Could such an incredible thing actually exist in the world?

Zhang Mo was quite patient. She explained, "That's true. It's because I know history, so I'm very familiar with your deeds and personalities. I know the topography of my Han Dynasty like the back of my hand. In my time, satellites could capture every scene on the ground, so I can draw a map of the entire Han Dynasty, and even the entire world. My great Han Dynasty actually occupies less than 10% of the territory in this world. From Xuzhou across the East China Sea, there are many islands. Across the ocean, there is a place called America. From the Western Regions, further west, there are Europe and Africa..."

"I'm not a child prodigy, nor am I the reincarnation of a military sage. I don't have any so-called hermit master. It's just that I have two thousand years more knowledge and understanding than you, so I have more strategies. I don't have any magical powers. Everything in my Tang Kingdom was created by the hardworking hands of my subjects. In this process, I just provided some advanced technology and policy assistance from later generations, that's all!"

Cao Cao was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. At this moment, he had many questions in his mind, but he didn't know which one to ask first or where to start. After holding it in for a long time, he asked, "Then...was I also defeated by him in history?"

Zhang Mo shook her head. "In history, you strangled him to death at Baimen Tower three years ago. In the end, you founded the Cao Wei that unified the Han territory..."

Zhang Mo then told him in detail about the historical Cao Cao, telling him the final outcome of Cao Wei and the corrupt and decadent Jin Dynasty. After hearing this, Cao Cao actually pounded his chest and burst into tears. While crying, he cursed his descendants for being unfilial and handing over the kingdom he had worked so hard to build. He also cursed Sima Yi for being an ungrateful person who could never be tamed, and the Sima family for being incompetent, which had caused the Han people to experience hundreds of years of turmoil and darkness.

At this moment, he finally understood why Lu Bu was always hostile to him and why he said that all the grudges were wiped out. This guy still remembered that he died at his hands in his previous life!

After learning the truth, Cao Cao felt a little more balanced. In this way, he did not lose to the couple, but lost to the prophet of China's two thousand years of advanced knowledge and history!

His emotions gradually calmed down. He raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and snot, glanced at Lu Bu, and asked Zhang Mo, "Then why did you choose to help him? Why didn't you help me? If you don't want to marry an old man like me, you can marry Ang'er. Your father wanted to arrange a marriage for you two..."

"Because when my soul traveled through time, something fell into his possession. Since then, our hearts have been connected, and we have a mutual understanding..." She turned to look at Lu Bu, "Most importantly, he is the only one in this world who can promise me a lifetime together. He is the only one who will unconditionally support all my policies!"

Lu Bu quickly grasped his wife's hand and boasted to Cao Cao, "The fact that her system has been applied to me means I am the chosen one. Therefore... anyone who opposes us will suffer a bad fate. Anyone who stands in the way of China's unification is our enemy! Brother Meng De, your doubts have been resolved, so feel free to travel on your journey. With a little luck, perhaps you too can travel through time!"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he asked someone to bring him poisoned wine, white silk and a sharp dagger, and let him choose how to die.

Looking at the three things in the tray, Cao Cao was not afraid of death at all. He stood up, straightened his robe, bowed to the two of them in a standard salute, then walked to the table with the tray, looked at the poisoned wine and touched the white silk. Zhang Mo thought he was really ready to die bravely, but she didn't expect him to hesitate for a long time and actually beg for mercy.
