A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 38
"If General Lu Bu helps us, then our army's rear area will definitely be stable. In my opinion, my lord can give it a try!"

When Lu Bu volunteered to guard the rear for Du Huo.Zhuge Liang, who was on the side, seemed to be more interested in this matter.

"Brother, have you forgotten the lesson of Xuzhou City?"

Although Guan Yu did not agree with Zhuge Liang's ideas, he did not speak out.

Instead, it was a coincidence that Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou at night, which made Du Huo cautious about this matter.

Du Huo nodded pretendingly, as if thinking deeply.

But in fact, he was just acting on purpose for everyone to see.

Lu Bu took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the rear for Liu Bei, which is also part of the game's plot.

However, Du Huo was not willing to act according to the plot of the game.

Because if the plot is to be followed, then Lu Bu will rebel again and then confront Du Huo.

Of course, this was something Du Huo didn't want to see. After all, he also knew about Lu Bu's bravery.

Therefore, he would rather take the risk and keep Lu Bu by his side than make Lu Bu his enemy!

"General Lu's martial arts skills can be said to be unparalleled in the world. If the general is really willing to help me, then I would like to worship the general as the vanguard and lead our army to flatten the four counties!"

While talking, Du Huo observed the expressions of the people around him.

Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others showed displeasure, it was probably because Du Huo wanted to worship Lu Bu as the vanguard.

In contrast, the changes in the expressions of Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang were slightly more complicated.

Hearing Du Huo's words for the first time, a trace of suspicion suddenly flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.However, before Du Huo finished speaking, Zhuge Liang's expression returned to normal.

Although Du Huo couldn't fathom Zhuge Liang's mind, he was able to list two conjectures:

[-]. When the suspicion was revealed, Zhuge Liang was probably guessing Du Huo's mind, and as the suspicion disappeared, Zhuge Liang also came to a conclusion.

[-]. Perhaps, while Du Huo was saying these words, Zhuge Liang was also observing Lu Bu's expression, and when he saw that Lu Bu's face was slightly pale, there was inadvertently a trace of suspicion in his eyes .

And with the disappearance of that suspicion, he had fully anticipated Lu Bu's purpose.

"Cough... this..."

In the silent mansion, there were suddenly a few light coughs.

The person coughing was Lu Bu, and he seemed to be deliberately covering up his inner panic at this time.

In fact, what he said just now contained his selfishness.

Du Huo took Fancheng from him, it is already impossible to take Fancheng again now.

Therefore, he had no choice but to come up with the idea of ​​the four counties.At this time, Du Huo was attacking the four counties, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of Du Huo's bowl.

The false vote for Duho was part of his plan.

However, what he never expected was that Du Huo would make such a bold decision, which would cause him to be in chaos!

"If General Lu feels embarrassed, then Liu Bei will naturally not force it, but he must not trouble the general about staying behind!"

There was a smile on the corner of Du Huo's mouth, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt weird.

"This... Since Brother Xuande trusts me so much, I will agree to Brother Xuande's request!"

At this time, Lu Bu was unable to get off the tiger, so he had no choice but to agree to Du Huo's arrangement.

In Du Huo's opinion, this result is quite ideal.

As the leader of martial arts in the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu has the same force value as Zhang Fei.But in fact, his strength is much higher than that of Zhang Fei.

Therefore, Du Huo can also be said to be determined to win.

Even if Lu Bu rejected Du Huo's request at this time, Du Huo would still use Unlimited Letters to force him to join the team.

……

After surrendering Lv Bu, Du Huo's army set out again, heading west all the way to Wuling.

At present, news of the fall of Lingling and Guiyang counties has already spread to Wuling County.

Jinxuan, the prefect of Wuling, knew that he was no match for Du Huo's army, so he simply closed the city and blocked Du Huo's army.

Du Huo personally led a thousand soldiers to investigate outside Wuling City.

I saw that Wuling City was surrounded by water on all sides, and the moat was so choppy that ordinary boats could not pass through it at all. Even building a bridge to cross the river would not be an easy task.

On the way back, Du Huo led his army to pass by a village, which was relatively far away from Wuling City. During the day, there were often villagers going back and forth between the two places to do some small business.

Due to Jinxuan's blockade of the city gate recently, the merchants in the village lost their livelihoods.

As a result, there were complaints everywhere, and the people were in dire straits.

In the complaints of these villagers, Du Huo also learned some useful information.

"Actually, Gong Zhi is also in a difficult situation. He doesn't know whether he should obey the prefect's order, or rely on Liu Bei to stabilize one side!"

"I heard that Gong Zhi often complained that resisting Liu Bei's team is meaningless at all!"

"That's right, I often saw Mr. Gong Zhi alone, talking to himself by the west river!"

From the words of the villagers, Du Huo learned about a man named Gong Zhi. It is said that he is working in Wuling City at this time, and he is very worried about the safety of Wuling City recently.

Now Wuling City is closed with a broken bridge, making it difficult to capture.Du Huo, who was at a loss for what to do for a while, planned to make a fuss about Gong Zhi.

The next day, after Du Huo led his army out of the village, he went straight to the west bank to try his luck.

As a result, Du Huo actually met a strange scholar by the river.

"Excuse me, sir, is Wuling County responsible for Gong Zhi?" Du Huo led his soldiers close to the river bank, and then asked the scholar less than a hundred meters away.

"Are you Cao Jun?" With so many people suddenly appearing in front of him, the scholar's expression couldn't help but be a little strange.

"My subordinate Liu Bei, these are all my subordinates!" Du Huo introduced himself.

"It turns out to be Uncle Liu Huang, and I am none other than Gong Zhi!"

After knowing Du Huo's identity, Gong Zhi immediately bowed to Du Huo with a frightened expression.

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite. May I ask why you are sighing here alone?" Du Huo asked.

"The emperor didn't know something. I heard that the emperor's army had arrived, so I persuaded the prefect Jin Xuan to surrender to the emperor to protect the country and the people, and make peace! But that Jin Xuan insisted on refusing, and instead wanted to punish me for my crimes! In desperation, I had no choice but to hide here to escape his punishment!" Gong Zhi explained with a sad face.

"I see. In fact, I have long heard that Jinxuan is not the master of the Ming Dynasty! Seeing that you are so depressed today, Liu Bei dares to ask you to join me and help me save the people of Wuling!" Du Huo clasped his fists and saluted, his words revealing firmness .
