Chapter fifty-five, sober
After leaving Liu Bei's mansion, which was almost a few hundred steps away, Lu Bu turned around and looked at the mansion in the distance. In fact, he had already lost sight of the scene. Then he sighed silently. Jia Xu, who finally took off his disguise, came over and asked.
Said: "Why is the general sighing?"
Lu Bu didn't answer him. He didn't believe that he didn't know this. He just asked, "What do Wen He think of Liu Xuande?"
"Well..." Jia Xu pondered for a moment before saying, "The general is indeed right. This Liu Bei is indeed not simple. I admire him."
At the end of the words, he did not forget to flatter Lu Bu, but Jia Xu's evaluation of Liu Bei was sincere, and to be able to get his extraordinary evaluation was enough to prove Liu Bei's ability and make Jia Xu change his mind.
, you must know that before, let alone Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, even he would inevitably underestimate Liu Bei, just for this reason
Although people are born with the appearance of dragons and phoenixes, their circumstances are really harsh, and they are still dependent on others, so it is really difficult for them to become great. However, after being tricked by Lu Bu today, Liu Bei behaved like this, not to mention Jia Xu, even Dong Zhuo heard that
I will definitely whisper in my heart, and my attention to Liu Bei will definitely increase by several orders of magnitude from now on.
Jia Xu added: "However, Xu also feels that Liu Xuande is difficult to control, and I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will not be able to control him, or even suffer backlash from him. Then he will shoot himself in the foot."
This was also Li Ru's problem. Lu Bu nodded, but did not feel happy at all, "Dong Zhuo was still blinded by the momentary victory in front of him! He thought that if he defeated Hulao Pass, he would defeat the world. Who knows that because of this,
It's getting more and more difficult. It's time to act cautiously at this time. It can be seen that he has been acting more and more violently and disorderly recently. There is an undercurrent surging in Luoyang. This Liu Bei is also a huge potential threat, but Dong Zhuo is definitely against him.
He didn't take it to heart at all. Although Li Ru knew it, he couldn't completely persuade him. It would be very difficult for him to be caught in the middle, so he could only tell me not to touch him at will. Maybe he also persuaded Dong Zhuo and got it.
I agree. In this case, it is not appropriate for me to be on bad terms with him at this time, otherwise I will only benefit others in vain. Otherwise, I would not have to spend so much effort today, but it is a pity that it has been in vain and has only been a useless effort."
Jia Xu was silent, but he believed it in his heart. However, Lu Bu could say this, but he couldn't. He had to change the subject and asked: "This time is just a test. How will the general want to treat Liu Bei in the future?"
Got an idea?”
Lu Bu glanced at him and vaguely felt that his question had another meaning, but he didn't think about it deeply. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Liu Xuande is really not that easy to offend. Don't say that the purpose of this time was not achieved. Wen You's side
He will also start to be wary of me. Even Liu Xuande may not be able to say anything in the future.
But this time I came to him, but it was a failure..." I can't say how much I regret it. It's just that Lu Bu thought that he would have to think more carefully in the future. Now it's like playing chess. A wrong move may not be enough.
All bets are lost, but the impact will be far-reaching and people cannot help but be careless.
"Not necessarily," Jia Xu actually smiled and said, "General, don't be too pessimistic. It seems that everything today is not without success. At least, doesn't the general have a beautiful concubine as beautiful as a flower?"
Lu Bu had a look of embarrassment on his face. He looked back at the carriage behind him and thought that the person inside was indeed a rare beauty, but that was not his original intention.
After Liu Bei asked that question, Lu Bu also thought about it for a long time, considering Liu Bei's meaning and how to make a choice.
With those words, Liu Bei obviously wanted to tell Lu Bu that he was willing to sacrifice his face and his woman. Today's events can just go by like this, and it can be treated as if nothing happened. He even stated it intentionally or unintentionally afterwards: "
Speaking of which, it’s not like Feng came here first and reminded Bei, but he almost forgot that Lord Tingwei
I have always taken good care of my three brothers, but I have never paid a visit in person. If I have the opportunity, I will be ready to visit as soon as possible." The implication is that he has not clearly chosen his side yet, at least he has not favored Dong Zhuo against Lu Bu, but
If Lu Bu pushed too hard this time and showed no mercy, it would be hard to say.
And this also reveals a meaning, that is, he is very aware of the unsightly battle between Lu Bu and Li Ru and even Dong Zhuo. Even if he is not a key part in it, he can still become an important bargaining chip.
No matter which side it is placed on, it is never a good thing for the other side.
Of course, Liu Bei's posture was just right, making it almost impossible to make mistakes. Lu Bu could only sigh: It has to be said that Liu Bei also has his own advantages. Even at this time, he still seemed unhurried, and he
He also knows how to take advantage of the situation and rely on his own strength.
There is no way to fight against Lu Bu in Luoyang, but Lu Bu is not saying anything here. Even if he hates him, it is true as he said. He has to consider Li Ru's feelings, not to mention that Li Ru just gave him a small warning before.
After a while, Cao Xing's matter was even more of a blow to him.
It was a wake-up call - since Lu Bu couldn't refute Li Ru's words, of course Cao Xing's position was determined in the short term, and from Lu Bu's point of view, Li Ru would definitely let him follow Niu Fu's Hedong Army directly.
Below, it can be regarded as leaving Lu Bu's control; at this time,
If Lu Bu goes too far now and makes Li Ru and even Dong Zhuo dissatisfied, he will eventually suffer the loss, because in his current situation, he is indeed not qualified to confront Dong Zhuo head-on.
Li Ru didn't have much to say about his abilities.
It's not like Lu Bu hadn't considered these situations before he came. Jia Xu and Chen Gong also helped him analyze it. However, they didn't know much about Liu Bei, so they didn't think of any targeted measures. This time Lu Bu deliberately sent Jia Xu to Liu Bei.
Xu was brought here so that he could see Liu Bei with his own eyes, so that he would have a good idea, at least he would know what to do when dealing with him in the future.
At that time, Lu Bu himself couldn't help but start to think about whether it was a good idea for him to come to trouble Liu Bei at this time, especially since Liu Bei, although he could not be used by him, would not necessarily become his enemy - at least for the time being.
Ru can use them to deal with himself, but can't he use them? Of course, Liu Bei will definitely not know which side he is on by then, but as long as he does not become an enemy openly and avoids this trouble, Lu Bu will be successful.
At this time, Lu Bu also felt that his thoughts had finally come to his senses. If Jia Xu and Chen Gong did not understand the situation, he was still blinded by the impression of "history" brought by later generations.
It was considered timely, so he quickly agreed to take away Mrs. Gan, and then vaguely revealed that today's events were over like this. He only sat for a while and then left directly. As for what Liu Bei would think about after that, it was not within his scope of consideration.
However, Liu Bei was able to abandon such a beauty, especially at the expense of his face. With his character and IQ, he was definitely a hero. However, Lu Bu still insisted on taking Gan away in the end. Of course, he was not stunned by her.
But there is another deeper meaning. Li Ru must have received the news, and some interested people will also get the news. Lu Bu is waiting for their response. I believe it will be very interesting then.
Finally, Lu Bu and Jia Xu parted outside the Lu Mansion. Of course, Lu Bu still had to take Gan in, while Jia Xu turned back to the Bingzhou military camp. He definitely wanted to talk to Chen Gong about today's events, but when they parted, Jia Xu
He shouted at the gate of Lu Mansion and almost made him fall: "General, please be careful tonight, don't really indulge in the beauty of this white jade beauty..."
"My husband is back, um... what kind of white jade beauty?"
"Uh, madam... Jia Wenhe, you are so cruel!"
