Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 9 I, Lu Bu, Can Become a Chess Player
Among the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are the most distinctive and recognizable in terms of appearance.

On Xiaopei Chengguan, Liu Bei was surrounded by the crowd. His ears dropped to his shoulders and his hands reached his knees. He got the name of big-eared thief because of his unusual appearance.

"A few days ago, I intercepted a secret letter from Lu Bu to Yuan Shu, but now he has a secret letter from me to Cao Cao."

Liu Bei frowned, and said in a low voice, "It seems that this is either Cao Cao's trick or Yuan Shu's trick. Lu Bu fell for it."

"Brother, if you defend the city and fight to the death, the cavalry will not be able to play a role. Why don't I lead the cavalry out from the south gate and attack Lu Bu's flank before Lu Bu's army has formed an encirclement."

Guan Yu, who had a beard two feet long and a jujube-like face, half-closed his red phoenix eyes and stared at Lu Bu at the gate of the city.

"No."

Liu Bei immediately rejected Guan Yu's suggestion, "We have less than a thousand horses, and the cavalry is newly trained, so they are far inferior to Lu Bu's army in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness."

"The thief Lu Bu first attacked Xuzhou. Now that my brother is getting more secure, he wants to attack Xiaopei. I will stab him sooner or later!"

Zhang Fei, who had a leopard head and eyes around him, and a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, spoke like thunder, and he could hear clearly even under such a noisy voice.

"Let the soldiers stand by at the city gate, draw the bow and crossbow without firing, and use the plan to strike later."

Liu Bei, who couldn't come up with any strategy, believed that as long as he took advantage of the danger of the city, Lu Bu should not dare to act rashly.

"Here!"

In this way, the people at the city gate arranged the bundles of arrows, moved the wooden rolling stones to a convenient throwing position, and watched each other nervously, fearing that they would suddenly attack.

The Lu Bu army under the Chengguan didn't want to attack the city either. After all, the casualty rate of the attack was too high, so they had to scold, scold their parents, scold their mother, scold their ancestors, until Liu Bei couldn't help but leave the city.

"Marquis Wen, it's been two days, no matter how much we abuse you, the big-eared thief just won't come out!"

Hou Cheng cursed angrily.

"Xiaopei City is three feet high, so it's not considered solid, and there are several signs of damage on the windward side of the north gate. It's better to have the last general lead people to form a group of dead soldiers who ascend the city first, and storm the city!"

Gao Shun bowed to ask for instructions.

"Maybe you can give it a try."

Zhang Liao also agreed: "Marquis Wen, Liu Bei can recruit nearly [-] people in a short period of time, but he can't train a powerful army in such a short period of time. Their combat power is not strong, and the chance of winning by storm is extremely high."

The morale of the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army was high, and it was obvious that they had a tacit understanding that a strong attack was also very appropriate.

In the past, at times like this, Lu Bu, who believed in one force and one force, would order a strong attack without hesitation, but today he is sitting firmly in the handsome chair, with a calm look on his face that has not changed since the mountain collapsed.

"I have a plan to lure Liu Bei out of the city."

Chen Gong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Under the eager eyes of everyone, Lu Bu also nodded to signal him to speak out what was in his heart.

"Shoot a secret message into Xiaopei City tonight, falsely claiming that the army has arrived in the name of Cao Cao, and invite Liu Bei to attack Marquis Wen."

Chen Gong held his head high, twirling his goatee calmly, "Before the battle tomorrow, all we need to do is create a commotion in the rear and then withdraw the troops. Liu Bei will definitely believe it and destroy them outside the city immediately."

"Wow! Mr. Gongtai has a great plan!"

"This plan is very clever, and the big-eared thief must not be able to see it."

"Sir, you are a great talent, and the general will worship you at the end!"

Lu Bu was also moved, and a light flashed in his eyes.

It should be possible to deal with Liu Bei first, and then deal with Cao Jun.

Just as he was about to make a decision, he remembered what Lin Mo had said. The purpose of Cao Cao's letter was to break the rivalry between Lu and Liu.

If both sides were dealt with together, the risk would be extremely high, and if Cao Cao really sent an army to bring them here, he probably wouldn't be able to defend Xuzhou.

"Marquis Wen, I have something to say, please consider it."

Lv Bu hadn't made a decision yet, and Chen Deng, who was nervous in the tent, didn't want to wait.

"Yuanlong might as well speak up if you have something to say."

"Mr. Gongtai's clever plan will definitely break Liu, but I suggest that it should be carried out in two days."

"Why!" Chen Gong looked at him sharply.

"Marquis Wen, according to the normal situation, it will take one day for the news of your dispatch to reach Xuchang, one day for Cao Cao to reorganize his troops and prepare food and grass, and seven days for Xiaopei to reach Xiaopei as soon as possible."

Chen Deng strolled around in the tent, and said firmly: "That is to say, counting from the day you dispatched troops, it will take at least nine days for Cao Jun to reach Xiaopei. Today is only the third day. How can Liu Bei ignore it?"

The generals nodded suddenly, but Chen Gong squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "However, before the expedition, Marquis Wen had already delayed for five days to wait for the food, so shouldn't this time be counted?"

"Mr. Gongtai is worrying too much. Cao Cao doesn't know that Marquis Wen is going to send troops at that time."

"I'm afraid not. There are many young people in the city, and it's not surprising that they are in Xuzhou and their hearts are in Cao Ying." Chen Gong glanced at Chen Deng, and said in a strange way.

"Mr. Gongtai is afraid that he judges the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The people present at that time were all confidantes of Marquis Wen. How could he leak the news?"

It wasn't once or twice that the two fought each other, and the generals chose to ignore it.

Lu Bu, who used to suffer from this headache every time, felt calm today.

People, when they know what they are doing, they are often able to stay calm.

"Marquis Wen!"

"Marquis Wen."

Having quarreled enough, the two bowed to Lu Bu at the same time, asking him to make a decision.

"Then. Do as Yuan Long said, and wait for two more days."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, Chen Gong finally couldn't bear it any longer, and went straight to the commander's case and looked at Lu Bu calmly, "Marquis Wen first delayed the dispatch of troops, and then let Wei Yue leave the army without knowing where he was going, and now he is still undecided. Worrying about the impending disaster!"

Lu Bu was not angry at being questioned, stood up and walked slowly outside the tent, looked into the distance, and said casually:

"Didn't Yuanlong just say that the timing is wrong, and Liu Bei won't be able to escape after two more days, let alone"

He turned around and looked at Chen Deng playfully, with a half-smile: "I'm still waiting for someone."

"Who?" Chen Gong was still unwilling.

"Don't worry, you should be back in the next two days, please be patient."

Lu Bu clapped his hands, "If there is nothing to do, step back."

After Chen Gong gave Chen Deng a hard look, he left with Zhang Liao and the others.

As the sun set in the west, Lu Bu's resolute face was reflected in a layer of orange from the corner of the eye. He folded his hands on his chest, enjoying the cool evening breeze.

"After so many years, this is the first time to become a chess player. This feeling is really good."

That night, the Chen family sent a fast horse to follow them for a while and found that they were heading towards Xuchang.

From that meeting onwards, Lu Bu knew that his son-in-law was right and that the Chen family was in charge.

Naturally, the next direction will be as Lin Mo expected, all he has to do is to wait for Cao Jun to arrive, and wait for work with ease.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly. When Chen Deng and Chen Gong quarreled just now, did he still think that I was a chess piece?

They won't know that the Chen family is my pawn. In this battle, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are both pawns.

He was a little bit looking forward to what the second Chen's expression would be after breaking Cao, Chen Gong was surprised from ear to ear?Chen Deng was scared to death?
Hehe, it's still interesting to think about.
