After stabilizing the morale of the army, Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao to deliver the invitation to the Clear Spring Villa. Only then did he return to his temporary residence in high spirits and let Lady Yan prepare a private banquet.
Lu Bu naturally wouldn't miss out on a genius like Li Mu.
Lu Bu had a habit. If he wanted to befriend someone, he would invite them to his house for a private banquet and introduce them to his wives and daughters.
It was to show that the friendship between the two of them could be entrusted to his wife and son.
It was this kind of honesty that made Lu Bu different from Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and others.
Not long after.
Zhang Liao returned with a heavy expression.
"Wen Hou, Li Mu caught a cold last night and is now bedridden. He can't attend the banquet.”
What was that?
Lu Bu turned pale with fright and hurriedly rode his horse to the Clear Spring Villa.
After hearing Li Mu's plan, Lu Bu's plan was different from before.
Thinking of Li Mu's soul-stirring poem," To live as a hero, to die as a hero, to think of Xiang Yu until now, unwilling to cross the River East ", Lu Bu's heart was ignited with the ambition of a tyrant.
In Lu Bu's vision, Li Mu was indispensable!
Without Li Mu, who could help him plan?
"Show your schemes!"
Lu Bu anxiously came to the Clear Spring Villa. When he saw the haggard Li Mu lying on the sickbed, he quickly asked about his condition.
Li Mu struggled to get up and bowed.""Wen Hou, you don't have to be like this. It's an old problem.”
"Drink some medicine and rest for a month. There won't be any major problems.”
"It's just that I won't be able to follow Wen Hou to Xu Prefecture for the time being.”
"Xianmou, I can stay in Puyang for a month!" When you recover, we'll go to Xuzhou together.”
"Wen Hou, do you still remember what I told you?”Li Mu coughed twice and his tone gradually became excited."Although the best plan doesn't need to be as impatient as the next plan, speed is important in war. The earlier we arrive at Xiao Pei, the less likely it is for any unforeseen circumstances to occur.”
"Mi Zhu is a schemer, but Chen Deng is a genius. If Chen Deng sees that Cao Cao has retreated and persuades Tao Qian to give Xu to Liu Bei, then my plan for Wen Hou to become king will be in vain.”
"Liu Bei is good at raising his reputation. This is Tao Qian's first time giving up Xu Prefecture, so he definitely won't agree.”
"However, if we let Xuzhou have the upper hand three times, Liu Bei will not refuse. If we let Xuzhou have the upper hand three times, we will gain a reputation and benefit from it.”
"Therefore, Wen Hou cannot delay the entire strategic deployment because of my illness.”
" Remember, one step wrong, every step wrong, cough cough-"
Li Mu couldn't help but cough again because he spoke too quickly.
"Xianmou, calm down!" Lu Bu panicked, but at the same time, he was touched.""Xianmou dragged his sick body and is still thinking about me. I'm ashamed!”
"But without Xianmou, how can I, a warrior, fight against Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, and the others?”
Li Mu took a deep breath and opened his eyes."Don't worry, Wen Hou. I asked you to station troops in Xiao Pei because there is a hermit in Xiao Pei. His surname is Chen Qun and his name is Changwen. Wen Hou can promise to do not drive the position, conscripted Chen Qun.”
"There is also a hermit in Linhuai County's Dongcheng County. His name is Xinglu Su, also known as Zijing.”
"Marquis Wen, remember, if you are close to a virtuous minister and stay away from a villain, you can prosper. It is difficult to achieve hegemony if you are close to villains and alienate virtuous ministers. There's another lonely soul on the Wu River!"
After saying that, Li Mu closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Cai Wenji's heart ached for Li Mu, and she couldn't help but scold him,""Wen Hou, my husband was already ill yesterday because he was planning for you. Now that he has contracted a cold, you still let him plan. Do you have a deep hatred for my husband?”
"No, no, I dare not!" Lu Bu quickly apologized and looked at Li Mu unwillingly. He sighed and said,""When Xianmou wakes up, please tell him that when he recovers and comes to Xuzhou, Lu Bu will welcome him from ten miles away!”
Cai Wenji wiped the sweat off Li Mu's forehead and replied,""Alright! When my husband wakes up, he will pass on the message. Wen Hou, my husband's body is not in good condition. If there's nothing else, don't come to Clear Spring Villa.”
Lu Bu let out another long sigh and turned to leave.
Cai Wenji watched as Lu Bu rode away. She stopped for an hour before returning to the inner court.
"Sir, Lu Bu probably won't return.”Cai Wenji let out a long sigh."If I do it again, I really don't know how to disguise myself.”
Li Mu jumped off the bed, full of energy. He didn't look like he was sick at all."There won't be a next time! If Lu Bu continues to stay in Pu Yang, I won't stay here anymore!”
Even Chen Qun and Lu Su had recommended him to Lu Bu. If Lu Bu still wanted to stay in Puyang, Li Mu would definitely have to run away.
Otherwise, Chen Gong would return to Puyang and give Lu Bu an analysis. Once Lu Bu's anger at Xu Prefecture was vented, the plan of the past three days would be in vain.
"Inform General Han to pay close attention to the movements of Lu Bu's army. Don't let go of any details!”
Li Mu waved his folding fan and turned around. His wise eyes showed that he had complete control over the situation in Yanzhou.
..
At noon.
Lu Bu gathered the eight generals and the soldiers of the three armies, prepared food and fodder, and headed to the entrance of Mount Tai.
At the same time, Lu Bu also sent people to Dongwuyang and Dingtao to inform Chen Gong and Zhang Miao of the upcoming battle plans.
Puyang City once again returned to its former peace.
The sun had set.
Han Hao returned to Puyang and reported the movements of Lu Bu's army.
"Lu Bu set off from Puyang and followed the river towards Jiyin County.”
"In just three short days, you played with Lu Bu and Chen Gong in the palm of your hand, and Puyang City was recovered. Mister is truly a god!”
Han Hao sounded excited!
Two hundred elite soldiers to guard Puyang!
Sir really did it. I, Han Hao, will brag for the rest of my life!
The Lantern Festival is coming, my fellow readers will definitely become more handsome than me
