"Sister-in-law!"
"That Gan shi is the woman my elder brother fancies, how could you send her to Liu Wu?”
Guan Yu was agitated as he questioned sternly.
"Yun Chang, I want to remind you that everyone thinks that Xuan Lie is your sworn brother. If I don't send the Gan family to Xuan Lie, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?"”
Guan Yu was at a loss for words. He was filled with dissatisfaction, but it was easily blocked by her.
"Even so, sister-in-law, you should have discussed it with me.”
Guan Yu was in the wrong, so his questioning tone was obviously weaker.
" What?" Mei Huan sneered." As the matriarch, I don't even have the right to make such a small decision. Do I really have to get your permission for everything?"”
Guan Yu's expression turned cold and his arrogance was instantly extinguished. He didn't dare to be disrespectful to his sister-in-law anymore.
"Foolish little brother naturally didn't mean that. Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand.”
"It's just that this Gan shi is the woman that my elder brother specifically wanted, and I still have to send her to take care of my elder brother. Now that such an accident has happened, I have no way to explain it to my elder brother.”
Guan Yu's expression changed from anger to helplessness.
"Your big brother is just looking for someone to take care of him. It doesn't matter who takes care of him. Chief Yun, you can just pick any of the maidservants of my Mei Family.”
Mi Huan said indifferently.
At this point, Guan Yu knew that there was no turning back, and there was no point in saying anything more.
He could only cup his hands and say,"There's no need for sister-in-law to worry about this matter. I will arrange it myself."”
"Then please do as you please, Chief Yun." Mi Huan said indifferently.
Guan Yu had no choice but to leave.
After leaving the county office, Guan Yu thought about it. This Gan Mei was the concubine that Liu Bei wanted to take in. Even if he sent her to Liu Wu, he couldn't let Liu Wu be rude.
With this in mind, Guan Yu sent his confidant to the Xiapi frontline with his secret letter to warn Liu Wu.
"I hope it's not too late."
"If not, I couldn't stop Liu Wu from conquering Xiapi, and I couldn't protect my brother's concubine's innocence. How should I explain this to my brother?”
Guan Yu looked in the direction of Xiapi and sighed.
…
Xiapi City, the state capital.
"Reporting to Marquis Wen, Yuan Shu has agreed to send troops. The army will be able to enter the borders of Xu Prefecture in ten days at the latest.”
Hou Cheng reported.
"Good!"
Lu Bu heaved a sigh of relief and said coldly,""When Yuan Shu's army arrives, I think that big-eared thief can still be alive and kicking for a few days.”
In the hall, Cheng Lian and the other generals were relieved and congratulated Lu Bu.
"Liu Bei is a tiger, Yuan Shu is a wolf.”
"I'm afraid that even though we can get rid of Liu Bei, this tiger, in the end, we'll be inviting a wolf into our house.”
Only one general sighed with a serious expression.
That person was Gao Shun.
"Gao Boping, are you mocking me?" Lu Bu frowned and said unhappily.”
"I don't dare."
Gao Shun quickly cupped his hands." I just want to remind you that Yuan Shu is stronger than Liu Bei. Once his army enters Xu Prefecture, even if Wen Hou publicly defends to Yuan Shu, I'm afraid he won't retreat easily."”
Lu Bu shivered and looked at Chen Gong anxiously.
Chen Gong stroked his short beard and sneered confidently,"Don't worry, Marquis Wen. Yang Hong is Yuan Shu's favorite, and he is the most greedy. Marquis Wen only needs to send someone with a large sum of money to rope him in and make him speak to Yuan Shu.”
Lu Bu's expression turned from dark to bright as he laughed,""Gongtai is indeed far-sighted. With your words, I can rest assured.”
The atmosphere in the hall was joyous.
Footsteps sounded as Wei Xu rushed in.
"Reporting to Lord Wen, my scout has sent news that Liu Bei has joined forces with Chen Deng's troops and is charging towards Xiapi.”
An urgent report broke the happy atmosphere.
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Big Ear Liu, that dog thief, is really arrogant. I didn't go and attack him, but he actually dared to find trouble with me!”
"And that Chen Deng brat, how dare he help Big Ear Liu? Isn't he afraid that I will destroy his Chen Clan?”
Lu Bu slammed the table and stood up, cursing angrily.
"The Chen father-son duo and Zang Ba are all people who follow the wind. They will side with whoever has the advantage.”
"The battle on the west coast of the sea has greatly injured our army. It is expected that they will side with Liu Bei.”
Chen Gong comforted her with a mocking expression.
Only then did Lu Bu's anger subside slightly, and he asked in a deep voice,""How many soldiers did they send this time?”
"Reporting to Wen Hou, there are less than six thousand people.”Wei Xu replied.
"Only six thousand?"
Chen Gong looked suspicious." According to my calculations, Liu Bei should have at least twelve thousand men with Chen Deng and Zang Ba's army. Why are there only six thousand?"”
Wei Xu quickly said," According to my spy's report, Zang Ba's army retreated to Langye on the way and did not attack Xiapi with Liu Bei."”
Chen Gong suddenly understood and sneered." I see. It seems that the big-eared thief failed to win over Zang Ba. No wonder he lost so many soldiers."”
Suddenly.
A hint of excitement flashed across Lu Bu's face as he said,""I still have five thousand soldiers at my disposal, while Da 'er's army is only six thousand. Gongtai, what do you think if I lead the army?”
"This…"
Chen Gong's eyes flickered as he stroked his beard.""In terms of numbers, the big-eared bandit doesn't have much of an advantage. However, he has the White Robe Army and the White Horse Righteous Troop.”
"Zhang Liao didn't get the essence of Bing Province's cavalry tactics, that's why he was defeated by the big eared bandits 'white robed army.”
"I'll personally go out and kill the big-eared bandit. How can we lose?”
Lu Bu stood up, his arrogance burning.
Chen Gong's eyes lit up as he pondered.
"Wen Hou, if we could defeat Liu Bei ourselves, we wouldn't need to ask Yuan Shu to send troops.”
"This is the best choice!"
Gao Shun jumped up and cupped his hands to remind him.
"Boping is right. If I had killed the big-eared thief myself, why would I have to lower my head and submit to Yuan Shu?”
"Pass down the order to gather all the troops. I will lead the army to battle and personally kill that big-eared thief!”
Lu Bu waved his hand and ordered.
Chen Gong remained silent and did not object.
The rest of the generals were impassioned, shouting to destroy Liu Bei.
For a time, the fierce cries of the battlefield echoed in the hall.
…
Two days later, fifteen miles east of Xiapi.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the world was desolate.
Six thousand soldiers of the Liu army were lined up on the bank of the Surabaya River.
The Liu flag danced in the wind.
Liu Wu raised his sword and looked ahead with an icy gaze.
Dust and fog rolled over.
In the blink of an eye, 5,000 cavalry under the banner with the word "Lu" rolled over.
"Yuanlong, it seems like your calculations were correct. Lu Bu has indeed come to die.”
Liu Wu smiled in approval and glanced at Chen Deng beside him.
"My lord, although Lu Bu has been tricked into coming here, his Bingzhou Raid Cavalry is extremely powerful. When we fight later, he will definitely break through the formation and take you down.”
"I wonder what method my lord has to restrain it. Can you tell me now?”
Chen Deng frowned deeply, his eyes filled with worry.
Liu Wu's face flashed with a sinister smile as he slowly said,"My method of restraining myself is myself.”
"The lord himself?"
Chen Deng's expression changed, his eyes filled with confusion.
