Chapter 304: Lu Bu Goes South (1/3)
Since Diao Chan was given to Lu Bu, Lu Bu has been addicted to beauty.
The once loving-hearted tiger of Jiuyuan has become a gobang cat.
Diao Chan is this lock.
Either Diao Chan’s special talent, or Diao Chan and Lu Bu have an inseparable fate.
For Lu Bu, Diao Chan is a poison that has no cure in the world, and Lu Bu has no cure.
Lu Bu was very happy to learn about Dong Zhuo's death, because no one coveted his woman, and no one would call him adopted son in public.
His name is Dong Zhuo's adoptive father, and he was forced to do so. Lu Bu had no problem, so how could he find a father for himself for no reason?
Not to mention that Dong Zhuo's domineering attitude and arrogant attitude made him feel disgusted.
Well dying!
However, with Dong Zhuo's death and Yue Fei's victory in Liangzhou, Lu Bu suddenly discovered that there seemed to be few forces in the entire Central Han Dynasty that could compete with Fang Mu.
At this time, Geng Yan sent someone to come to him and lobby him and Geng Yan and Yuan Shu and others to join forces to attack Fang Mu.
He also said that Yuan Shu had agreed, and waited for his agreement.
Only the weak will siege the strong. When will I, Lu Bu, fall to the point of besieging others with others? Lu Bu wants to refuse in his heart.
But in the end he honestly chose to accept it.
Because even if he is so proud, he has to admit Fang Mu's strength deep in his heart.
But a few days ago, Yuan Shu was defeated, and a gap was torn to the east of the encirclement that surrounded Fang Mu.
Fang Mu broke the obstacles to going south, and this encirclement naturally had no meaning.
Lu Bu didn't know if it would make sense for him to continue fighting.
"General, why don't we form an alliance with Fang Mu?" Zang Ba said to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Zang Ba lightly.
Zang Ba's heart trembled and his head lowered.
"I'm not dead yet." Lu Bu's voice made Zang Ba tremble all over.
"If I just formed an alliance with Fang Mu, how would the people in the world view me, Lu Bu? Wouldn't I become a capricious villain? First join the Eastern Han Dynasty, then join the Fang Mu. If it spreads, I, Lu Bu's reputation, wouldn't it be defeated?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
[No, the general still thinks he has a reputation.] Wei Yue said in his heart.
Not only Wei Yue,
Cheng Lian and others also had this idea in their hearts.
Lu Bu naturally could not notice the thoughts of Cheng Lian and others. Lu Bu held the Fang Tian Painted Spear and looked at the camp in the distance, his face a little gloomy.
In this life, Chen Gong did not assist him, and Lu Bu was like a headless fly, allowing other forces to merge and exploit it.
This kind of trend of being involuntarily following the flow made him irritated.
"Lord, there is a scholar who comes to join us. He calls himself Chen Gongtai." Guan Hai climbed up the city tower and said to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu frowned.
Through contact with other families in Jingzhou, Lu Bu also learned about famous scholars in the world, and naturally heard of the name of Chen Gong.
However, because of his past behavior, few scholars came to join him.
Nowadays, only Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Pang Ji, the civil officials who were originally under Liu Biao.
They belonged to Lu Bu on the surface, but in fact they were all trying to use Lu Bu's power to make profits for their family.
Lu Bu knew this well, but he had no choice.
"Bring him here." Lu Bu said lightly.
After a moment, Chen Gong followed Guan Hai to the city tower, and the scars on his face made him look particularly ferocious.
Unlike a literati, it adds a bit of hostility out of thin air.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, and a shiny light appeared in his eyes.
"Are you here to find me?"
Chen Gong thought of Fang Mu's advice when he came, and said expressionlessly: "Yes."
"Then do you know the Fang Tian Painting Ji?" Lu Bu held the Fang Tian Painting Ji and placed it in front of Chen Gong.
The sharp halberd tip is only half an inch away from Chen Gong's face.
The faint smell of blood and sharp sensation burned Chen Gong's cheeks.
"How can you not recognize the general's reputation as invincible in the world is widely circulated in the world," said Chen Gong.
"Hahaha." Lu Bu laughed boldly, "You are saying this compliment well, but I don't believe it."
"The general can see the wound on my face." Chen Gong touched the wound on his face and said. "This was scratched by a bandit, but it hurt me for several months."
"I used to learn a lot of scriptures and strategies, thinking that this would allow me to show my talents, but after experiencing life and death, I realized that only peerless force could end in this troubled world."
"Then why don't you look for Fang Mu?" Lu Bu asked.
"I have an old hatred with Guo Jia, and Fang Mu's son humiliated me in public with the scars on my face. I, Chen Gong, will make him regret it one day." Chen Gong said calmly, touching the wound on his face, with deep hatred in his words.
Lu Bu nodded, but he still had doubts in his heart.
Two more days later, Lu Bu sent someone to investigate secretly and finally got results.
That day, Chen Gong did go to find Fang Mu, but was kicked out in front of many people, and was even humiliated on the street.
Only then did Lu Bu believe what Chen Gong said.
Later, with Chen Gong's assistance, Lu Bu won several consecutive victories in the battle with Zhang Liao, which made Lu Bu gradually trust Chen Gong.
"Lord, Gongtai has an idea, I don't know what the lord thinks is." Chen Gong said.
Lu Bu said, "But it's okay."
"How does the lord view the situation in Zhonghan? Now Yuan Shu has been captured alive in the east, and Yuzhou is under Fang Mu's control. He is in the eight states of Ji, Yu, Xu, Yan, Qing, and Sili, which has exceeded half of the territories of Zhongzhou, and now Xiliang is half a step under Fang Mu's control." Chen Gong said with a speech, "Even if the lord is brave, how many people can one kill?"
Lu Bu was silent.
It’s not that he didn’t know this, but no one has pointed out the way for him. Although he knew this, Lu Bu was always in a daze.
"What should you do as you said?" Lu Bu asked.
"Can the lord have some understanding of the countries in the north and south?" Chen Gong asked.
"I know a little." Lu Bu said.
"Since the lord knows it's best." Chen Gong smiled.
"Then the lord thinks we go to the countries of the north and south? The countries of the north and south are not strong in a single state, only around the Central and Han states, but it is precisely because of this that it is beneficial to the lord to deal with it. If a great country like the East and West Han Dynasty, even with the courage of Xiang Yu, it would not be possible to go against the will of heaven. But if it were just these small countries like Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, like the small princes like the lord, they could naturally be easily defeated by their lord's ability. When the lord was in the Jin Dynasty, why worry about not being able to be strong when he was unified in the territory."
Lu Bu was stunned.
Then frowned.
It seems that what Chen Gong said is not without...the truth.
"Just..." Lu Bu was still reluctant to part with the huge land of Jingzhou.
"The lord's ability to occupy Jingzhou depends on his unparalleled force. As long as the lord is there, even ten Jingzhous will not worry about not being able to take it down." Chen Gong said.
Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong's words.
Then he gave up Jingzhou and headed south to the north and south.
