Had Huang Zhong at his peak fought against Lu Bu in his prime?
If anyone asked Zhuge Mu this question, Zhuge Mu would definitely answer…
"Yes!"
However, the location of the battle was not Hulao Pass, but Xiapi City in Xu Province.
At that time, Liu Bei had just taken over Xuzhou, and the unrivaled Lu Bu had just been driven out of Yanzhou by Cao Cao. He had led Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and the others to Xiapi to wait for the change.
It was also at that time that Zhuge Mu, accompanied by Huang Zhong, met Lu Bu for the second time.
Compared to the first time Zhuge Mu saw Lu Bu in front of Tiger Cage Pass, when he was so arrogant, Zhuge Mu felt that Lu Bu was more mature and reserved.
But…
When Lu Bu saw Huang Zhong at his peak, his reserved maturity was completely gone.
What replaced it was a strong battle intent.
Therefore, there was no surprise!
The battle between the two strongest generals of the late Han Dynasty had erupted.
At that time, other than Zhuge Mu who was over ten years old, there were also Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and a few others who were watching the battle.
Zhuge Mu shook his head when he thought of the outcome of that battle.
Raising his head, Zhuge Mu met Zhang Liao's expectant gaze and smiled at him.
"Wen Yuan, when you have free time, why don't you go to the Xu Shu residence that I'm currently living in and take a stroll?”
"Whether uncle has come to Xu City or not, won't you know with your own eyes, Zhang Wenyuan?”
Zhuge Mu's reply was almost like " 300 silver taels without a place ", and Zhang Liao was overjoyed.
"Haha!"
"Shuzhi, I won't accompany you here anymore. I'll go find Hansheng now!”
Zhang Liao came and left quickly.
After he left, Zhuge Mu finally remembered to greet Guo Jia, who had a gossipy look on his face.
"Chancellor Guo, Wen Yuan and I have indeed known each other for a long time, but if we were to talk about it in detail, it would be a long story!”
Guo Jia was speechless.
After waiting for half a day, Guo Jia heard Zhuge Mu's words and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He gritted his teeth and said,"Since you know it's a long story, then you won't make it short."”
Zhuge Mu agreed with Guo Jia's words.
"About a few years ago, when Lu Bu was beaten up by you and Lord Sikong and fled from Yanzhou…" he said casually.
"One of my elders had a fight with Lu Bu in Xiapi.”
"Yeah, the kind that didn't lose in a fight."
After Zhuge Mu finished speaking, he ignored Guo Jia's reaction and hurriedly followed the court officials out of the palace.
" Defeat Lu Bu?"
Shock flashed across Guo Jia's eyes.
Just as he was about to continue questioning Zhuge Mu, he realized that Zhuge Mu was nowhere to be seen.
At the palace gate.
Zhuge Mu was about to return to his residence and bring Wei Yan and Huang Xu to the military camp in the south of the city to see his soldiers. He did not expect to be stopped by someone again.
And he couldn't reject the person who stopped him.
"Lord Zhuge, His Lord asked me to wait here.”
"He said that he hopes that you can attend the family banquet of Sikong Manor after the court ends today.”
Was Cao Cao giving a sweet date to a stick?
Zhuge Mu could not help but think as he looked at the invitation card handed over by the old servant of the Sikong Residence and the carriage that had been parked by the roadside.
"In that case, please lead the way."
Zhuge Mu, who could not refuse, could only agree.
However, Zhuge Mu asked Guo Jia, who was rushing over, before the carriage driven by the old servant,""Chancellor Guo, how about we go to Sikong Manor together?”
"If you want to go, go!
"The lord has invited you to a family banquet. Why would I join in the fun if I have nothing to do?”
Guo Jia had a look of disdain on his face as he resolutely rejected Zhuge Mu's invitation.
After getting on the carriage, Zhuge Mu took the opportunity to take a short rest while the carriage was traveling from the palace gate to Sikong Manor.
However, Zhuge Mu was still recalling the scenes that had happened in the court today.
After pondering for a long time, Zhuge Mu let out a bitter laugh.
Because he realized that he was very similar to Liu Xie, the emperor.
In today's court, both of them had no choice.
However, fate played a trick on people. Liu Xie had a high position and could not help himself.
As for him, his words carried little weight and he was unable to resist.
Sikong Manor.
When Zhuge Mu was led to the inner courtyard of the Sikong Manor by the servants, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Looking at the Cao family's sons sitting behind the long table and the wives sitting on Cao Cao's left and right, Zhuge Mu realized…
Cao Cao had invited him to a family banquet.
Zhuge Mu noticed that he was the only outsider in the huge inner courtyard.
This made him feel flattered, but at the same time, there was a trace of fear in his heart.
If the situation didn't allow it, he really wanted to turn around and leave.
"Haha, Uncle Zhi is here!"
"Hurry up and take a seat!"
"Now, we're waiting for you."
Cao Cao noticed Zhuge Mu's arrival and quickly gestured for Zhuge Mu to take a seat.
As Cao Cao said this,
In an instant, Zhuge Mu became the center of everyone's attention.
Zhuge Mu's expression did not change as he faced the many gazes that were directed at him. He respectfully bowed to Cao Cao.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhuge Mu called out the word 'liege' and Cao Cao nodded in approval.
After getting up, Zhuge Mu looked around without batting an eyelid. Then, he turned around and walked toward the long table near the door behind the Cao family's young masters.
The young masters present had different reactions to Zhuge Mu's actions.
Some of them had looks of admiration!
Some were disdainful!
Some of them did not even lift their eyelids, not putting Zhuge Mu in their eyes at all.
Eh!
Zhuge Mu even noticed that some of the five or six-year-old young masters were already drooling as they looked at the food in front of them.
At this moment, Cao Cao's voice sounded from behind him.
"Chong-er, go sit with your elder brother Cao Pi and give your empty seat to Shuzhi.”
Hearing this, Zhuge Mu's body trembled.
It was over!
Fengxian…Bah!
Where is Fengxiao? Save me quickly!
