Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Relying on women to get to the top?

Niu Fu's face immediately turned grim after hearing Hu Zhen's words. There was no inkling of anything going on between Lü Bu and Qing'er, so what did he mean by relying on a woman? This guy was clearly alluding to him.

Furthermore, my ability is indeed average. Hu Zhen made a bet in front of the lord just now. Could it be that he wanted to harm me?

No one noticed Niu Fu's unhappy expression. Hua Xiong said, "Perhaps Lu Bu really can lead an army. After all, he served as a military commander in Wuyuan and must have fought in many battles."

"Can five hundred people be the same as two thousand people? Let's see if he can show his true ability in two months." Hu Zhen sneered.

Dong Yue said, "If he can really train the team well, I'm afraid the lord will value him more and more, and maybe he can even climb above us."

Hu Zhen sneered, "Those Qiang people are the most unruly and undisciplined. They are just a bunch of roving warriors. How can they be easily trained?"

Moreover, even if Lu Bu can be trained well, I have a way to make him come last.

"That's impossible to say!"

Seeing that Duan Wei had remained silent, Dong Yue asked, "What do you think, Zhongming?"

Duan Wei said calmly, "He's his Sima, and I'm mine. As long as he doesn't provoke me, it has nothing to do with me. Why should I worry about him?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will become your boss in the future?"

Duan Wei glared at Dong Yue and said, "The Lord is not stupid. He knows who to use and who not to use. Do you think he doesn't know? If Lü Fengxian has real ability and deserves the title, I naturally have nothing to say. Now just do your job well."

In Duan Wei's opinion, these people were really worrying about nothing. The lord seemed to trust him and others, but in fact, he did not completely trust them. Otherwise, he would not have appointed so many Simas to lead the troops. No matter how outstanding Lu Bu's ability was, he was at most on par with them. How could the lord allow him to be the only one in power?

Duan Wei was too lazy to listen to these people's whining anymore, so he left first after he finished speaking.

Hu Zhen looked at his back and snorted, "Pretending to be noble!"

"I'm back to the tent too!"

Niu Fu bowed to the crowd and left with his men Li Que, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji. When the four of them reached a quiet place, Guo Si couldn't help but ask, "Sima Niu, is Lu Bu really as powerful as everyone says? Is I no match for him?"

Guo Si was born a horse thief, and he believed that no one in the army could be his opponent except Hua Xiong. Yesterday, when he heard his subordinates talking about how great Lu Bu's martial arts were, he naturally felt dissatisfied.

Niu Fu said, "I dare not say anything else, but in terms of bravery, I am afraid that even if you and Ying Wei join forces, you cannot defeat him."

"Since you say so, I must challenge him to a duel." Guo Si said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Niu Fu glanced at him and said coldly, "I advise you not to humiliate yourself."

Guo Si didn't take Niu Fu's words to heart. "Even if I can't beat him, I still have to compete. If I don't test his skills, I won't be able to trust him completely."

"what ever!"

Niu Fu didn't bother to care about Guo Si's intention to ask for a fight. He had many things to worry about right now.

One is his sister-in-law Dong Qing. Niu Fu knows her character very well. She is strong, domineering, and shameless. She has almost completely inherited the character of the lord. As long as it is something she wants, she will definitely get it. Although his wife is a few years older than her, she was often bullied by her before she got married. The key is that the lord likes the domineering character of his sister-in-law and has always been quite partial to her.

If the lord could give birth to another son, he would not mind whether Lu Bu married Dong Qing. But more than ten years have passed, and the lord has taken countless concubines, but no son has appeared. It is very likely that he is unable to have children.

If Lu Bu really married Dong Qing, he would have the opportunity to compete with him for the right of inheritance. He had to think carefully about what to do about this matter.

Then there is the competition in two months. He knows exactly how much he is capable of. If he hadn't relied on his relationship with his lord and his son-in-law, it would have been impossible for him to lead two thousand soldiers.

It was because of his lack of ability that the lord assigned Li Que, Guo Si and Zhang Ji to him as military officers. Although these three people had good abilities, Hu Zhen also had Hua Xiong, Li Meng and Wang Fang under his command. Hua Xiong, in particular, was the most powerful among the Western Liang army before Lu Bu came. The lord only said not to fight against the main general, but did not say not to fight against the deputy general. Compared with Hu Zhen, he was still slightly inferior.

Hu Zhen must have anticipated this, which is why he made the bet so recklessly.

Damn it, it's really damned! If I can't defeat Lu Bu, I'll definitely be at the bottom.

Niu Fu grew increasingly angry as he thought about it. Returning to the tent, he said to Li Que and the other two, "You will all stay with the army for the next few days and train the troops well, especially the newly recruited Qiang soldiers. If you can get Hu Wencai to perform a dance, I'll reward each of you with 10,000 coins."

Li Que was puzzled, "Sima, why do you want Sima Hu to lose?"

Although these Simas sometimes fight openly and secretly, they are all veterans who have followed their lord for a long time. Shouldn't they work together to deal with the newcomer Lu Bu?

Niu Fu snorted, "Hu Wencai said that I relied on women to get to the top, so I want to show him that I have real skills."

Li Que was speechless. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hu Wencai was targeting Lu Bu, and Niu Sima was taking it personally and making himself very angry.

He cupped his hands and advised, "What Hu Sima said just now was unintentional, and he was referring to Lü Bu's desire to use Qing'er to ascend to power. I think you should join forces with him."

Zhang Ji also said, "Zhi Ran is right. The Lord has assigned Han Lai to Lü Bu today. He is also a skilled warrior. And as for Li Su, I heard he also killed many rebels this time. Sima shouldn't be fighting with Hu Sima at this time."

Niu Fu put himself in Hu Zhen's shoes because he was not confident in himself. Now, after hearing what the two said, and thinking back to what Hu Zhen had just said, it seemed that he was really overthinking it. He softened his tone and said, "No matter what he means, you three must train the troops well for me in the next two months."

"promise!"

The three of them clasped their fists in response.

Lu Bu was promoted to Sima and had a separate tent in the army. At this moment, Gao Shun, Li Su, Wei Xu and Niu Li gathered in his tent.

"When Fengxian first came to the army that day, I knew he was no ordinary man. Sure enough, he was promoted to Sima after just over a month. I congratulate Sima Lu!" Niu Li clasped his hands together, looking proud.

Fortunately, he had good vision. He begged Liu Jing to go to Wangyuan with Lu Bu that day, and just followed behind to charge into the enemy camp. He was promoted from a squad leader to a garrison leader, and also received a lot of rewards.

Wei Xu snorted, "You even asked my brother-in-law to prepare the bath water for you that day!"

Niu Li looked embarrassed. He glanced up at Lu Bu and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know Sima Lu was so powerful back then. I'm sorry I offended you! Don't blame me!"

Lu Bu sat in the upper seat and waved to Niu Li. "It's alright. As the saying goes, there's no friendship without fighting. I'll need your help in the future."

Niu Li dared to follow him to break into the battle that day, which shows that he is a man of extraordinary courage and insight, who values ​​righteousness over death. He is a useful person. Lu Bu asked him to participate in the first military meeting under his tent, which means he wants to cultivate him.

Seeing that Lü Bu had no intention of blaming him, Niu Li's somewhat uneasy heart calmed down a little. "Sima, just tell me what you want. It is my honor to work under you."

Gao Shun nodded slightly in agreement. He had come to realize during these few days of getting along that Lu Bu indeed had the bearing and demeanor of a general. Although he was arrogant, he was humble and treated his subordinates very well!

As they were talking, a soldier came in and said, "Sima Lu, the two soldiers sent by the general have arrived and are asking to see you outside the tent."

"Let them in!"

The soldier went out to pass on the message. Wei Xu said with some dissatisfaction, "General, why do you have to appoint even the military officers yourself? I don't know the backgrounds of these two people. I think they are most likely here to monitor you, my brother-in-law."

"A Xu, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Bu's face darkened slightly, and he said seriously, "I have told you many times that this is not Wuyuan. If you continue to speak without restraint, you will return to Jinyang."

Seeing that Lü Bu was a little angry, Wei Xu hurriedly smiled and said to him, "Brother-in-law, I remember this and I will never say anything nonsense again. Don't be angry."

Lu Bu looked at him helplessly. This kid has been lazy since he was a child and likes to cheat and act cunningly. If it weren't for his supervision, he might not even be able to beat an ordinary soldier now. He has been in Jinyang for about a year and has learned some military tactics, but his temperament has not changed at all. Now, except Zizheng, Axu and Ziyan, there is no one else around him who can be trusted. It seems that he will have to teach Axu a lesson in the future, at least to let him know the importance of things.

Thinking of this, Lü Bu said to Wei Xu, "From today on, do not call me brother-in-law in the army."

Wei Xu replied seriously, "Yes! Sima Lu!"
