Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24 Decision
"Where is Lord Hanyu?" When Liu Bei returned to the city, he didn't care to blame Zhang Fei for making troubles for no reason, and hurriedly asked the left and right.

The collapsed city wall was restored in such a short period of time. Looking at Xuzhou, only Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son could do it. Chen Deng is now far away in Guangling, and only Chen Gui can do this.

"My lord, Lord Hanyu has been waiting in the mansion for a long time!" Sun Qian came up and said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei quickly ran to the Yamen Office with Guan and Zhang Erjiang. Just as he saw Chen Gui sitting on the couch, he saw a group of people coming in, and stood up to greet him: "Mr. Xuande."

"Thank you Lord Han Yu for your help!" Liu Bei saluted quickly.

"What's the point of worrying about such a trivial matter?" Chen Gui hurriedly supported Liu Bei, and sighed, "It's just that this time we had a conflict with Na Lu Bu rashly, it's not what a wise man did!"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "This matter is also a misunderstanding. Since Lord Han Yu has come, do you have a good plan to teach him?"

Chen Gui shook his head and said: "I came here today to recommend talents to Duke Xuande, but just after I left the city, I saw Lu Bu gathering troops and horses to attack Xiaopei, but it's a pity that Lu Bu has supernatural powers, and the old man tried his best and couldn't make it ahead of time." Come and inform Duke Xuande, don't blame Duke Xuande!"

Liu Bei shook his head when he heard the words, and after inviting Chen Gui to take a seat, he said: "This is the fault of the preparation, how can you blame Duke Han Yu, but I don't know who Duke Han Yu wants to recommend?"

"Under Lu Bu's tent, there is a golden man named Chu Nan. I have met him before. This man is sharp in speech and has insight into the general situation of the world. If he can be obtained, he will be able to help Duke Xuande." Chen Gui sighed : "Who knows what happened."

"Jin Cao?" Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Mr. Han Yu, what can you do with mere Jin Cao?"

"Yide, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and said, "How can a hero be judged by his birth? To be elected by Mr. Han Yu must have extraordinary abilities!"

"That's right, a mere Jincao, but he ruined my plan." Chen Gui nodded with a wry smile and said, "It is precisely because of this that I think this person is quite talented, and it would be a shame to bow down to Lu Bu, so I recommend him to Duke Xuande."

"It's just that since he is Lu Bu's general now, how can he vote for him?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Gui in surprise, he was able to defeat Chen Gui's strategy, it seemed that he had some skills, but since he had already joined Lu Bu's sect, how could he turn to himself again?

"I'm also to blame for my negligence. This person was a merchant earlier, and his heart seemed to be towards Duke Xuande. He tried several times to recommend himself to Duke Xuande through Chen Mi's family. Unfortunately, I saw that this person was just a merchant in my residence. And I don't have the power to approach me, so I didn't pay attention to it, but I missed a hero!" Chen Gui sighed.

Liu Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "There are thousands of merchants in the world, if they all come to look for Duke Hanyu, how can Duke Hanyu have a rest?"

"Merchant?" Zhang Fei frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his background.

Liu Bei ignored him, but looked at Chen Gui and said, "Mr. Han Yu, if I can survive this time, I will try to find this person. However, the current situation still requires the mediation of Mr. Han Yu."

Chen Gui shook his head and said: "Mr. Xuande forgives the sin and just showed his supernatural powers. Then Lv Bu may know that I am here. If Mr. Xuande goes to lobby at this time, he may anger Lv Bu."

The Chen family can lean towards Liu Bei, but it is impossible for the Chen family to completely stand on Liu Bei's side. It's okay for him to do Liu Bei a small favor now, but he can't go to see Lu Bu on Liu Bei's behalf. On the other hand, Lu Bu must be suspicious, and Chen Gui didn't want to use the Chen family to confront Lu Bu head-on.

When Liu Bei heard the words, he also understood the other party's intentions instantly, and quickly saluted: "Bei was impatient and made a slip of the tongue, Lord Han Yu forgives the sin."

Chen Gui waved his hands again and again to show that he was innocent, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Mr. Xuande should repair with Lu Bu first. Now that Lu Bu has a powerful soldier in his hand, a head-on confrontation with him is like hitting a stone with an egg."

"Mr. Han Yu's words are too prestige for Lu Bu!" Zhang Fei said a little unhappy when he heard these words.

Chen Gui didn't say any more. It is easy to judge the strength of both sides now, so why bother talking?
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and said, "Where is the horse now?"

"They are all fostered in various temples." Zhang Fei bowed his head after being stared at by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei glared at him fiercely, knowing that he was invincible, he rashly provoked him, really... Seeing that Zhang Fei was motionless, he frowned and said, "Hurry up and get the horse, don't cause any more trouble!"

"Here!" Although Zhang Fei was upset, since Liu Bei had spoken, he didn't dare to say much, so he immediately got up and led the people to gather the horses.

"Send people to return the horses as soon as possible, and strike with Lu Bu is the right thing!" Chen Gui sighed. Apart from the horses, Lu Bu's army may not have taken the opportunity to annex Liu Bei's heart. I'm afraid I haven't really made up my mind yet, and now it's the best time to bow my head and admit my mistake.

Liu Bei nodded, and after Zhang Fei brought the horse back, he prepared some property and sent it to Lu Bu along with the horse.

On the other side, Lu Bu was still hesitating.

Determination is the quality that a ruler must possess, but this is exactly what Lu Bu lacks.

Chu Nan's answer made him hesitate. He looked at Chu Nan, then at Chen Gong, and finally sighed: "Is there no way to have both?"

Chu Nan didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, Chen Gong on the side spoke Chu Nan's heartfelt voice: "Wen Hou, there is no way to have the best of both worlds in this world, what Ziyan said is the only two that Wen Hou has. There are only two paths, you can only choose one!"

Lu Bu was silent, he wanted Liu Bei to stay and help him resist Cao Cao, but as Chen Gong said, Liu Bei's popularity in Xuzhou was too high, and the longer he stayed, the greater the threat to himself.

While hesitating, a personal guard came to report that Liu Bei's envoy brought a large number of horses and belongings outside the camp to ask for an audience.

The reason for the dispatch of troops this time was the war horses. Lu Bu immediately asked for the horses to be brought back, and also invited the envoys.

"Marquis Wen, what happened this time is all a misunderstanding. My lord has sent back the horses and rewarded the soldiers with money. I hope Marquis Wen will forgive me. How about my two families stopping the war?"

Lu Bu frowned and looked at Chen Gong and Chu Nan, Chen Gong said calmly: "If you don't kill Liu Bei today, you will be killed by Liu Bei in the future, Marquis Wen will make his own decision."

Chu Nan still didn't say anything. If Lu Bu wants to go further, he must have his own decision-making ability. Otherwise, even if Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, and Cheng Yu were all given to Lu Bu, it would still be difficult to accomplish anything.

"Get ready for battle!" Lu Bu didn't think too long this time, looked up at the emissary and said, "Today Zhang Fei just robbed my war horse. If a big enemy comes one day, how can I know that it won't stop my way back? Let's go and tell Liu Bei , if you are smart, immediately open the city and surrender, otherwise, don't blame the old love!"

"Marquis Wen, this..." The envoy was shocked when he heard the words, and wanted to persuade him again.

"Huh?" Lu Bu's eyes turned cold: "I never said that?"

The envoy was suffocated, facing Lu Bu's aura, finally chose to bow his head, bowed silently to Lu Bu: "In that case, I will take my leave!"

"Send him out of the camp." Lu Bu waved his hand, signaling the guards to send him out...
