"Chief Yun, you've returned from your patrol so soon?”
Liu Wu carried Mei Huan and stood in front of Guan Yu naturally.
Guan Yu's brows were deeply locked. He suppressed his anger and reluctantly cupped his hands,""Foolish little brother didn't dare to delay for too long, so I hurried back. Elder brother is really in a good mood.”
He glanced at Liu Wu's hands, hinting at him to put down his sister-in-law.
Liu Wu ignored his hint and said with a smile,""This elder brother accompanied your sister-in-law back to her hometown to visit her relatives. It's rare for me to have a few days of leisure, so I'm naturally in a good mood.”
"What?"
Guan Yu's expression changed." Elder brother, you actually left Haixi without permission and went to Qu City. Why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand?"”
"Accompanying Furen to visit her parents is a matter of etiquette, and also a private matter of this elder brother. Do I need your permission, Yun Chang?”
Liu Wu's face darkened as he asked in displeasure.
Guan Yu choked, but he didn't dare to question it in front of everyone. He could only say embarrassedly,""How would I dare to interfere in my brother's private affairs? It's just that the war between us and Lu Bu has yet to end, and my brother has suddenly left the West Coast.”
"Chief Yun is worrying too much."
"Lu Bu wants to attack me, but he is powerless now. When Guangling and Langye's troops arrive, it will be time for us to find trouble with him.”
Liu Wu put down Mei Huan with a confident expression.
His sister-in-law finally didn't need to be " offended ". Guan Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
After calming down, Guan Yu said,""Elder brother, the Guangling Army is already ten miles south of Haixi. That Chen Deng has already arrived at Haixi and is currently waiting in the hall.”
As soon as he said that, Mi Huan's surprised gaze turned towards Liu Wu.
Everything was within his expectations. Chen Deng had indeed led his army to help.
"He came so quickly. What are we waiting for? Let's go see him.”
Liu Wu stepped into the mansion and headed to the main hall.
"Brother, let's talk in private." Guan Yu's eyes hinted.”
Liu Wu ordered the white-robed guards to retreat temporarily.
"Xuan Lie, although Chen Deng has led his army to help, I think it's better to forget about your plan to turn defense into offense and recover Xiapi.”
Guan Yu stopped being respectful, and his tone was faintly commanding.
" Didn't you and Yi De agree to take back Xiapi earlier?" Liu Wu asked." Why are you opposing it now?"”
"I went to see Big Brother."
"Big brother said that Chen Deng and Zang Ba each have their own ulterior motives. Even with big brother's political tactics, it's extremely difficult to control them, let alone you.”
"When the people are not united, if you forcefully lead the army to attack Xiapi, not only will you not be able to recover Xiapi, but you will also be in danger of being defeated by Lu Bu.”
"That's why Big Brother instructed us to guard Haixi well and not provoke Lu Bu. We need to conserve our strength and wait for Big Brother to return before making any plans.”
Guan Yu recounted Liu Bei's exhortations in a very fluent manner.
Liu Wu sneered.
Liu Bei wanted him to maintain the current situation and wait for Liu Bei to return.
Dream on!
Liu Wu wanted to use the opportunity of attacking Lu Bu and recovering Xiapi to establish his prestige, cultivate his confidants, and firmly grasp the military and political power in his hands.
"My big brother can't control Chen Deng, so how do you know that I can't?”
Liu Wu sneered as he asked back. His eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness.
Guan Yu was shocked.
Liu Wu didn't give him a chance to speak again and turned to leave.
"This Liu Wu is getting more and more disobedient. What does he want?”
Guan Yu frowned and followed.
When he stepped into the hall, a young man with an imposing appearance was already waiting for him.
Seeing Liu Wu return, Chen Deng hurriedly put down his teacup and stood up to welcome him.
"Yuanlong, I was wrong!"
Liu Wu did not wait for him to bow first. He pretended to be ashamed and took the lead to bow to Chen Deng.
Zhang Fei and the others, as well as Guan Yu, who had just entered, were all shocked.
No one expected him to apologize to Chen Deng the moment they met.
Chen Deng was also stunned.
He was still thinking about what kind of polite words he should say when they met, but he was at a loss when he saw Liu Wu's unexpected bow.
"Why is Envoy Liu doing this?”
Chen Deng came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed deeply to Liu Wu.
"Back then, Yuanlong, you advised me not to take Lu Bu in as he was a ferocious and vicious disciple. Otherwise, it would be a disaster!”
"It's a pity that I placed too much importance on benevolence and righteousness, so I didn't listen to Yuanlong's advice and took in Lu Bu, resulting in today's bitter outcome.”
"The war in Xu Prefecture has once again broken out, and the people have been poisoned by the flames of war because of my miscalculation.”
"Yuan Long, please accept my apology on behalf of the people of Xu Prefecture!”
Liu Wu blamed himself and explained the reason for his bow.
Everyone finally understood.
"My lord, to be able to reflect on yourself and admit your missteps so frankly, this magnanimity is truly a heroic lord!”
"It seems that I, Zhao Yun, have followed the right person!”
Zhao Yun sighed inwardly. The respect in her eyes became firmer.
"This Liu Wu really understands big brother's weakness!”
"I've already told Big Brother that benevolence and righteousness is a false reputation. If you pay too much attention to it, it'll be a burden. Big Brother just doesn't listen.”
"If big brother was as clear-headed as Liu Wu and listened to me and killed those three family slaves, we would not have ended up in this situation today!”
Zhang Fei nodded slightly. Liu Wu's words had hit the nail on the head and were to his liking.
"My lord-"
Chen Deng looked at Liu Wu's apologetic face, and for a moment, his emotions surged and he was filled with emotions.
"I didn't expect that this Envoy Liu would admit his mistake in front of so many people and even lower himself to apologize to me!”
"This bearing far surpasses that of the Envoy Liu I knew.”
"Could it be that after experiencing this calamity, this Envoy Liu suddenly came to his senses and his vision has reached a new level?”
Chen Deng was somewhat touched and secretly guessed.
"I swear that I will gamble my life to ensure peace in Xu Prefecture. With Xu Prefecture as the foundation, I will compete with the heroes of the world!”
"Yuanlong, I hope you can forget about the past and assist me in my great cause!”
Liu Wu generously expressed his ambition and once again cupped his hands towards Chen Deng.
Chen Deng's heart shook, he felt the blood in his body boil.
"He's being honest with me and wants to invite me to be his mastermind.”
He was smart and immediately understood Liu Wu's intentions.
In Liu Wu's eyes, Chen Deng was not an ordinary person. He was a Wang Zuo who was comparable to Xun Yu.
In history, this person had many tricks up his sleeves and had once played Lu Bu in his palm.
Moreover, not only was he intelligent, he was also very skilled in martial arts. While he was guarding Guangling County, he had defeated the invasion of the little tyrant Sun Ce many times.
Sun Ce was someone that even Cao Cao was afraid of and unwilling to compete with!
As for Chen Deng, he was able to make Sun Ce helpless with just Guangling Prefecture.
Fortunately, he didn't have the heart to fight for the world. Otherwise, he would definitely become Cao Cao's enemy.
Unfortunately, because Liu Bei valued benevolence and righteousness too much, he did not listen to Chen Deng's advice and took in Lu Bu. In the end, he lost Xuzhou.
Chen Deng's roots were in Xuzhou, so he was naturally unwilling to follow Liu Bei. In the end, Liu Bei had no choice but to miss out on such a person.
If Liu Bei could listen to Chen Deng's advice and defend Xuzhou, using Xuzhou as the foundation to fight for hegemony, it was still unknown who would win the Central Plains.
Today, Liu Wu was going to correct Liu Bei's mistake!
