"Lu Bu's strength far surpasses our army!”
"Husband, he actually gave Lu Bu an ultimatum?”
Mi Huan's eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Liu Wu in shock.
Guan Yu frowned and thought to himself, This Liu Wu is acting on his own again. It's fine if he doesn't accept Lu Bu's request for peace, but why did he anger those servants of the three families?”
"Big Brother is right!"
Zhang Fei clapped his hands and cheered. He jumped up and scolded Song Xian,"Go back and tell Lu Bu that servant of the three surnames that if he dares to come to Haixi to fight, I, Zhang Fei, will definitely take his dog head!”
He hated Lu Bu deeply and was holding back his anger. Liu Wu's domineering actions were to his liking.
Song Xian, who had lost his ears, had lost his temper. He picked up his ears and fled the hall.
Zhang Fei laughed loudly, finally venting his anger.
"Elder brother, you've angered Lu Bu so much that a war is inevitable.”
"For such an important matter, at least discuss it with us before making a decision.”
Guan Yu's face was ashen as he looked at Liu Wu in dissatisfaction.
Before Liu Wu could speak, Zhang Fei waved his hand."What are we discussing? I think Liu…Big Brother did the right thing. That servant from the three surnames wants us to go to Xiao Pei to be his watchdogs. How can we agree!”
Guan Yu's expression changed as he looked at Zhang Fei in shock. He didn't expect his third brother to praise Liu Wu's decision.
He coughed a few times to remind Zhang Fei that the person sitting in that seat was not his big brother.
Zhang Fei was too excited and completely ignored Guan Yu's reminder.
"My lord."
" Lu Bu's arrogance is truly hateful."
"But today, the lord has angered him, and Lu Bu will definitely lead his army to attack. Yun's new recruits have yet to be trained. With our current strength, I'm afraid this battle will be very difficult.”
Although Zhao Yun did not object, she had to remind Liu Wu to pay attention to the difference in strength between the enemy and himself.
Liu Wu looked at Chen Dao and asked,""Shuzhi, how is the training of your White Robe Army?”
"Reporting to my lord, I train my soldiers day and night and can barely fight.”
Chen Dao cupped his hands and replied.
"Good!"
Liu Wu nodded slightly and said," Zilong, you heard it. Madam's white-robed guards are ready for battle. If Lu Bu dares to attack, I will use this elite troop to give him a head-on blow!"”
Zhao Yun was shocked.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes flashed with doubt.
"That Chen Dao is just a nameless person who was promoted beyond his level.”
"A mere few hundred White Robe soldiers can compete with Lu Bu's valiant soldiers?”
The generals looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
"You don't have to worry too much."
"Lu Bu has just taken Xiapi and his people have yet to submit, so he will not dare to attack with all his might. At most, he will send three to four thousand soldiers.”
"Including the new recruits, our army has more than three thousand soldiers that can be used. Their strength is evenly matched.”
Liu Wu saw through everyone's worries and comforted them.
The worry in everyone's eyes lessened slightly.
Guan Yu said,"Even so, half of our troops are new recruits. Even if we have the same number of soldiers, our combat strength is still far inferior."”
"Didn't I say it before? Our army has the White Robe Army as a special force, which is our trump card to defeat the enemy!”
Liu Wu's brows were burning with absolute confidence.
"The White Robe Army is just…"
"Commander Yun!"
Liu Wu interrupted him and said sternly,""Since you are so afraid of Lu Bu, could it be that you have been defeated by him after one battle?”
Guan Yu was speechless.
He had always been proud and arrogant, so Liu Wu's words hit him right in the seventh inch.
If he continued to oppose, it would be equivalent to admitting that he feared Lu Bu. Where would his face go?
"I wasn't even afraid of those three family slaves in Tiger Cage Pass, so why would I be afraid of him today?”
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, his arrogance burning.
"That's good!"
Liu Wu slapped the table and said happily," Since Chief Yun has such courage, I have nothing to worry about. Go and prepare quickly. We will face Lu Bu's attack in a few days!"”
Guan Yu's heart shook. He realized that he had fallen into the trap that Liu Wu had dug for him.
At this moment, no matter how much he was worried, he could not refute it. Otherwise, it would be a slap to his face.
Zhang Fei shouted excitedly,"If those servants of the three surnames dare to come, we'll beat them up in Haixi City!"”
Seeing that Liu Wu had made up his mind, Zhao Yun no longer dared to question him.
After the military discussion, the civil and military officials took their leave.
"I didn't expect that my lord would dare to provoke Lu Bu.”
"That's right. Have you noticed that the lord's temperament seems to be more domineering than before?”
"Who says so? I really didn't expect that the lord would actually cut off Song Xian's ears.”
"It's indeed unexpected. My lord actually has such a ruthless method. It really makes my eyes light up.”
Everyone discussed it in private.
Seeing that there was no one around, Guan Yu pulled Zhang Fei and questioned,""Third brother, what's wrong with you today? That Liu Wu made his own decision, why are you still siding with him?”
"Liu Wu did make his own decision, but I think he did the right thing this time!”
"Lu Bu, that dog thief, wants to humiliate us and make us guard the house for him. We should teach him a lesson!”
Zhang Fei said indignantly.
"That being said, have you ever thought about how much chance we have of winning if Lu Bu sends his troops to attack?" Guan Yu sighed.”
"Who cares about his chances of winning."
Zhang Fei waved his hand and said boldly," Since the servants of the three surnames dare to come, we only need to fight to the death. I would rather die on the battlefield than be humiliated by those servants of the three surnames!"”
Guan Yu's body trembled, a sense of pride in his heart seemed to be ignited for Zhang Fei.
After a moment of silence, Guan Yu said," This matter is of great importance. We should report this to our elder brother and ask him to make a decision."”
"Please don't!"
Zhang Fei stopped him and said anxiously," With Big Brother's temper, he will definitely agree to Lu Bu's conditions if he finds out. We will all follow Big Brother and be humiliated by those servants!"”
Guan Yu shivered and fell silent.
In his eyes, that elder brother was good at everything, but sometimes he lacked the domineering aura to go all out. Every time he was in a disadvantageous situation, the first thing he wanted to do was to admit defeat and sue for peace.
It was his personality that had implicated him and Zhang Fei, causing them to suffer a lot these years.
Just as Zhang Fei had said, if Liu Bei knew about this, he would not dare to fall out with Lu Bu. He would definitely swallow the humiliation and submit to Lu Bu.
"Second brother, this time we'll listen to Liu Wu.”
"Let's not tell big brother yet. It won't be too late to report the victory to big brother after we defeat Lu Bu!”
Zhang Fei grabbed Guan Yu's arm and begged him.
Guan Yu pondered for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh and silently agreeing to Zhang Fei's request.
…
Xiapi City, the state capital.
In the main hall, Lu Bu was having a banquet.
"Gongtai, do you think that Big Ear Liu will really submit to me and obediently guard Xiao Pei for me?”
Lu Bu held his wine cup and looked at Chen Gong.
"Liu Bei has been losing every battle in the past few years.”
"Although he is a formidable person, he is too flexible and lacks the courage to go all out.”
"Although he has the support of the Mei Family, his strength is still far from ours. Since we have given him a chance to make peace, there is no reason for him not to seize it.”
Chen Gong used a mocking tone to analyze Liu Bei.
"Gongtai is right."
Lu Bu thought so and sneered." I'll let him off. Liu Da 'er has no reason not to give in. Once he goes to Xiaopei to stop the Cao rebels, I'll be safe."”
The hall was filled with proud laughter.
At this moment, a general with a bloody face rushed into the hall.
"Wen Hou, Wen Hou…"
The general fell to the ground, sobbing.
"Song Xian?"
Lu Bu recognized the general, and his expression changed as he asked in shock,""I told you to go to Haixi to pass on the message. Why did you become like this? Where are your ears?”
