"Reporting to Wen Hou, this is all the doing of that big-eared thief!”
Song Xian fell to the ground, crying in grief and indignation.
"Liu Bei?"
" What happened?" Lu Bu's expression changed." Why did he treat you like this?" he asked.”
Song Xian sobbed and told them about what happened in Haixi City.
Everyone was shocked.
"Clang!"
Lu Bu was furious. He slammed the table and scolded,""Big Ear Liu, it's fine if you don't know what's good for you, but how dare you humiliate me like this?”
Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and other generals were all indignant.
"This doesn't make sense."
"With Liu Bei's personality, he shouldn't be so arrogant.”
"Moreover, he has always been self-righteous. Even if he doesn't agree to defend Xiao Pei, he wouldn't be so vicious as to cut off Song Xian's ears, right?”
Chen Gong muttered to himself, his face filled with bewilderment.
"Pass down the order!"
Lu Bu jumped up and said angrily," Immediately mobilize the army. I want to raze Haixi City and kill Liu Da 'er, that dog thief who doesn't know how to appreciate the times!"”
"Wen Hou, calm down!"
Chen Gong shivered and quickly advised," Marquis Wen has just taken over Xiapi. There are many powerful families in the city who have yet to submit. Marquis Wen must stay in Xiapi at this time. You must not send an army out on an expedition."”
"Chen Xiantai is right."
"If Marquis Wen leads his army out and Xiapi City is empty, then Zang Ba of Langye and Chen Gui of Guangling will take advantage of the situation to attack.”
A general at the bottom of the steps also calmly advised.
The general was the second most powerful person in Lu Bu's army, Zhang Liao.
Lu Bu calmed down and sat down again.
However, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth."If I don't settle Liu Bei, how can I swallow this resentment? Moreover, as long as Liu Bei is not eliminated, Zang Ba and his son will not submit.”
"Wen Hou need not worry too much."
Chen Gong sneered," Although Liu Bei has powerful generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are mediocre. Wen Hou doesn't need to go personally. He only needs to send Zhang Wenyuan and a group of elite soldiers. I believe they will be able to wipe out Liu Bei and his defeated soldiers."”
"Gongtai is right."
Lu Bu waved his hand." Zhang Wenyuan, listen up. I order you to lead 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry to Haixi and bring Liu Bei's head back to me!"”
"Wen Hou."
"When we were defeated in Yanzhou and fled to Xuzhou, Liu Xuande took us in.”
"Although Marquis Wen had no choice but to seize Xu Prefecture, if you exterminate Liu Bei, wouldn't that be too heartless? Wouldn't the world talk about Marquis Wen biting the hand that feeds you?”
Zhang Liao didn't accept the order. Instead, he tried to persuade her.
Lu Bu was speechless.
"Liu Bei took us in because he was worried about his benevolent fate. He also wanted to use us to station troops in Xiao Pei to help him resist Cao Cao.”
"Now that Liu Bei is determined to resist to the end, if Wen Hou doesn't kill him, how can he intimidate the people and make Zang Ba and the Chen father and son submit to him in fear!”
Chen Gong's tone was cold as he pointed out the stakes.
Lu Bu no longer hesitated." Gongtai is right," he said sternly." If Liu Bei refuses to submit to me, he must die. Wenyuan, just listen to my orders."”
Zhang Liao knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he cupped his hands and said,"I will obey your orders."
On the same day, Zhang Liao led more than 3,000 infantry and cavalry out of Xiapi and headed straight for Haixi City.
…
Haixi County Yamen, Main Hall.
Liu Wu held Mi Huan's hand and walked into the hall calmly as usual.
At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't care less about Liu Wu's intimate behavior with their sister-in-law.
"Brother, the spy has reported that Lu Bu has sent Zhang Liao with 3,500 cavalry to attack Haicheng City.”
Without waiting for Liu Wu to sit down, Guan Yu reported in a deep voice.
Mi Huan's face changed slightly.
However, Liu Wu's expression did not change. He said lightly,""We'll deal with whatever comes our way. What's there to be surprised about?”
"Elder brother, Zhang Liao is coming at us menacingly. I think that our army should hold fast and not fight.”
Guan Yu offered a countermeasure and kept winking at Liu Wu, hinting him to give the order according to his suggestion.
"Our army has suffered repeated defeats and our morale is low. We need a victory to boost our morale.”
"Since Lu Bu has delivered a victory to my doorstep, how can I not accept it?”
Liu Wu's eyes were filled with killing intent as he waved his hand and shouted,""Pass down my order. Tomorrow, Commander Yun will guard the city. The rest of the generals will follow me out of the city and fight Zhang Liao!”
As soon as the order was issued, the hall was filled with surprise.
"This Liu Wu is more generous than big brother. He's very to my liking!”
Zhang Fei rubbed his fists excitedly, his eyes filled with admiration.
The rest of them had ugly expressions.
Guan Yu suppressed his dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice," Brother, the enemy's elite troops are far superior to ours. That Zhang Wenyuan has also brought 500 Bingzhou cavalry. I think it's better for us to defend the city without fighting."”
Sun Qian and the others sucked in a breath of cold air. The words 'Bingzhou Raid Cavalry' made them shiver.
"Zilong, how's your training of the White Horse Righteous Follower?”
Liu Wu looked at Zhao Yun calmly.
"My lord," said Zhao Yun, clasping his hands,"Mi Zi has not yet returned from buying horses. I have only trained a hundred or so white horses for the Righteous Servants."”
"A hundred white horses and three hundred white robed soldiers should be enough.”
Liu Wu's eyes were filled with confidence as he said boldly,""Tomorrow, Chen Dao will lead the White Robe Army in the front, Yi De will lead the infantry in the back, and Zilong will lead the White Horse Army in the flank. Let's work together to defeat Zhang Liao's Bingzhou cavalry!”
Zhao Yun's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Liu Wu again, as if she could see a different confidence and dominance from him.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun said resolutely,"Since the lord has given the order, I will fight with all my strength.”
Chen Zhi also raised his hands and said,"I am willing to go through fire and water for you. I will not refuse."”
"Big brother is really generous."
"We just can't be cowards. I'll definitely kill him tomorrow!”
Zhang Fei was even more excited. He jumped up and shouted excitedly.
"This Liu Wu, where did he get the confidence to not listen to my hint and insist on fighting on his own!”
"Yide Zilong and the others are the same. They actually joined him.”
"If we lose tomorrow, if these few thousand precious soldiers die, how will I explain this to big brother?”
Guan Yu's brows were tightly knitted together as he fell into a dilemma.
However, since Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei had made it clear that they wanted to listen to Liu Wu's orders, unless he publicly revealed the identity of Liu Wu's substitute, he would not be able to object.
"Forget it. Since things have come to this, we can only let him be.”
"I want to see if he's just spouting nonsense or if he really has the ability to defeat Zhang Liao's Bing Province cavalry!”
Guan Yu gritted his teeth and could only remain silent, silently agreeing to Liu Wu's decision.
The generals dispersed and made their own preparations.
At night, in the wedding room.
Mi Huan served Liu Wu as he undressed and prepared to go to bed.
"Husband, that Zhang Liao is the number one general under Lu Bu.”
"Husband, are you really confident that you can defeat Zhang Liao tomorrow?”
After hesitating for a while, Mi Huan couldn't help but ask.
Liu Wu pulled her into his arms and said lightly,""Furen need not worry. You just need to prepare the celebratory feast tomorrow and wait for my triumphant return.”
Looking at his confident and handsome face, Mi Huan felt slightly relieved.
"Since husband is so confident, then I will naturally believe in you and wait for your return tomorrow.”
"It's late. Husband, go to bed early.”
"It's still early," Liu Wu said with a smile."If I don't do some exercise before bed, how can I sleep?"”
Mi Huan's face turned red." Husband still has to lead the army to battle tomorrow," she advised." It's better to rest early and recuperate."”
"It's just a battle. How can it affect the harmony between us husband and wife?”
Liu Wu waved his hand and the red candle in the room was extinguished.
"Husband ~~"
The moon was shining brightly outside the window.
