The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 40 My soldiers are mighty

Before coming to Xudu, Lu Bu had expected that Cao Cao would force him to stay.

It is impossible to forcefully leave in Xudu.

It's better to stay first, and learn more about ways to develop places in this era by observing many people.

After all, Xudu is currently one of the most prosperous places in the Han Dynasty.

After the court meeting, Cao Cao invited Lv Bu to go with him to the market in Xudu.

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others accompanied Cao Cao.

Lu Bu kept a distance of three or four steps from him.

"Little General, how does Xudu compare with Xiapi?" Cao Cao asked Lu Bu proudly as he walked down the street.

"Xudu is noisy and prosperous, and it is a paradise on earth." Lu Bu responded: "Xiapi has gone through several battles, and the people are starving and starving everywhere. There is no comparison at all."

Cao Cao laughed proudly.

Then he asked: "Yuan Gonglu was killed by the little general?"

"Exactly." Lu Bu replied, "At that time, I was only seven or eight steps away from him, and it was easy to kill him."

Looking at Lu Bu, Cao Cao asked, "We only have three or four steps. It should be easier for you to kill me."

"If I intend to deal with Cao Gong, the generals next to me will have no chance to make a move." Lu Bu replied honestly.

Cao Cao's face changed slightly.

Xiahou Dun stared with one eye: "Presumptuous! How dare you threaten Duke Cao!"

"Don't dare!" Lu Bu said, "I'm probably here to surrender to Duke Cao on behalf of my uncle, so how could it be against Duke Cao?"

Lu Bu is not talking nonsense.

Although he deliberately kept a distance from him, Cao Cao was still too close to him.

If he made an attack, Xiahoudun and the others would really not be able to react.

However, after killing Cao Cao, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape from Xudu.

Lu Bu would not be that stupid.

The world is in chaos, even if Cao Cao is killed, there are other heroes coveting Xuzhou, it is better to stabilize them than to completely enmity with the Cao family.

The most important thing is to get a chance to breathe in the cracks.

"Little general, you can get closer." Cao Cao was indeed a hero, not only did he not feel ashamed and angry because Lu Bu frankly admitted that he could kill him, but he kindly motioned to approach him.

"My lord..." Xiahou Dun tried to persuade.

Cao Cao raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm afraid Mr. Cao won't believe my uncle's sincerity, so he doesn't dare approach him." Lu Bu didn't lean forward, but cupped his hands and replied.

"The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom has been sent, so what doubts can I have?" Cao Cao said, "As long as Fengxian is no longer an enemy of the Cao family, I will not send troops to Xuzhou again."

"From now on, Xuzhou will only become Duke Cao's defense, and will never fight against Duke Cao again." Lu Bu replied earnestly.

"Will the little general stay in Xudu?" Cao Cao asked suddenly.

Lu Bu replied: "Mr. Cao loves me so much that I shouldn't have refused, but my uncle asked me to come and befriend him on his behalf. If I stay here, it would be unrighteous to my uncle. In the early years, my uncle made a mistake and was cast aside by the world. Why are you willing to follow his old path?"

Looking at Lu Bu, Cao Cao nodded: "The little general is right, just come and walk around every now and then."

After walking a few streets, Lu Bu saw a military camp appearing in front of him.

There was a shout of killing in the barracks, and it was the soldiers of Cao Jun who were practicing.

Cao Cao led the crowd to the barracks.

Seeing him coming, the guards guarding the barracks hurriedly reported to the generals.

Just after entering the barracks, a group of Cao Jun generals greeted him.

"My lord!" The generals lined up to salute.

Cao Cao asked: "The army is shouting and killing, are the soldiers practicing?"

"It's just a routine drill." General Cao replied.

"I'll take the little general to have a look." Cao Cao ordered.

The crowd surrounded him and walked towards the school grounds.

There was still some distance from the school field, and Lu Bu saw many soldiers of Cao's army practicing in a square formation.

The phalanx is neatly advancing and retreating, and Cao Jun is indeed a mighty army with strong combat power.

"Young general, do you think my soldiers are still strong?" Cao Cao asked Lu Bu with a smile.

"It's really rare to be mighty and majestic." Lu Bu replied, "If uncle Cao's soldiers were half as elite, Xuzhou wouldn't be where it is today."

Looking up and laughing, Cao Cao patted him on the back: "The little general's words are refreshing."

"I don't mean to be sycophantic at all." Lu Bu said, "Everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart."

"What kind of weapon is the little general good at?" Cao Cao asked.

"I respected my uncle since I was a child, and my weapons are the same as him." Lu Bu said: "I am good at using eight-sided steel swords in melee combat, and I am good at Fangtian painted halberds in horse warfare."

"Fang Tian's painted halberd is extremely heavy, and the little general can use it freely?" Cao Cao looked at him incredulously.

"You are born with strength, and you don't feel heavy when you use it." Lu Bu replied very respectfully.

"I have many powerful generals under my command, and some of them are enemies of ten thousand people. I wonder if the little general is willing to show his skills?"

Cao Cao's request made Lu Bu think about how to win.

Back when he was young, he not only has Lu Bu's years of experience in fighting on the battlefield, but also has reached the peak of his physical strength.

It is not difficult to beat any fierce general under Cao Cao's command.

The difficulty lies in how many rounds to beat him.

He won too quickly, and with Cao Cao's character, it is even more impossible to be willing to let him go.

If the win is too slow, and Cao Cao is not interested enough, he will get closer to him.

This time in Xudu, the closer you can get to Cao Cao, the better it will be for him to do things in the future.

Grasping the scale is the most important thing!
"How dare I compare my meager skills with those of Duke Cao's generals." He was thinking about how to win, but Lu Bu was still humble.

What he said was very helpful to the generals next to him.

But one person is an exception.

During the court discussion, Lu Bu once contradicted Le Jin.

He never stopped thinking about it.

Cao Cao proposed to find someone to compete with Lu Bu, and Le Jin stepped forward: "The last general is willing to compete with the young general."

Although Le Jin is short in stature, his martial arts are not bad.

Often fights are at the front, and he is also a fierce general under Cao Cao's command.

"Someone has already challenged the little general, so why not give him some face?" Cao Cao asked Lu Bu with a smile.

"Cao Gong ordered, of course I dare not disobey." Lu Bu replied, "It's just weapons..."

"Fengxian's Fang Tian's painted halberd is a legendary weapon in the world. I definitely don't have it here." Cao Cao said, "But I have someone build one according to its appearance. It has always been in the barracks, and it happens to be used today."

"Get the painting halberd." He ordered to the side.

Soon two guards brought a painted halberd.

It doesn't seem that the two are struggling to carry the weapon, but if any one of them is allowed to hold it, it shouldn't be so easy.

Grabbing the painting halberd, Lu Bu weighed it twice: "This weapon is about the same weight as my uncle's. Mr. Cao has taken care of it, but I still feel a bit heavy to use it."

"The little general is still young, so his strength should not be much worse than Fengxian's." Cao Cao said with a smile, "Don't be too modest, just practice to open the eyes of my soldiers."
