The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Down the mountain, back to the village.

In the simple main room, Liu Bei held the first meeting on how to regain Xuzhou's combat strategy.

But at the same time, Liu Bei also had a trace of worry.He was worried that many people would be dissatisfied with his state shepherd who was not appointed by the court.

"My lord, don't worry. In a few days, I'll go to Chenliu for a visit, and exchange for my lord's letter of appointment from the imperial court."

Mi Zhu stood up with a very sure tone.

Chapter Seventy-two

It's the end of the year again.

On a tall building somewhere in Jiyin County, Chen Wei stood guard outside. Lu Bu, who was wearing a brocade robe, looked out into the distance with his hands behind his back. Wherever he looked, there was a vast expanse of whiteness. The heavy snow covered the flowers, plants and trees, and covered the entire north. Wrapped in plain clothes, it is all white.

Before you know it, it's another year.

"I don't know if my husband's illness has improved. He is the one who is most afraid of the cold..."

Lu Bu laughed and talked to himself, as if the trick of shrinking his body and wrapping himself in a jacket was right in front of him.

Beside him, no one spoke with him.

Lu Bu sighed leisurely, really, a little lonely!

The husband who knows me best is recuperating in Guanzhong, Cao Xing has been transferred to the north, Gao Shun is busy with military affairs and strategic planning for the coming year, and as for Gongtai, it is inconvenient to say many things to him...

As for people like Song Xian and Wei Musheng, Lu Bu always treated them as brothers in his heart, but as their status continued to rise, these people gradually could only look up and respect him more and more.

Even the most unruly Guo Jia, when he saw him, became more restrained, no longer talking like he was when he was young.

Nowadays, it is so difficult to find someone who can speak the truth.

Lu Bu smiled self-deprecatingly, and there was an indescribable bitterness in his smile.

It's so cold at the top!

When walking down the pavilion, some soldiers came to report that it was Mi Zhu who had come.

Lu Bu let out a 'huh', probably guessing why Mi Zhu came here, and walked towards the Sheriff's Mansion.

When he came to the outside of the mansion, Lu Bu stopped, and Chen Gong and Mi Zhu were fighting with each other inside.

"We agreed to take Yanzhou with all our strength and let Cao Cao be the commander of Xuzhou, but we stayed until the city was destroyed and people died, and Cao Cao withdrew his troops. Don't you want to give an explanation?"

"Xuzhou was destroyed, we can only say that you have persisted, and you can't blame us."

"Mr. Chen, you have to speak with the conscience of heaven and earth. If you want to say this, 50 stones of grain and grass, forgive me for not being able to offer it!"

Hearing the threat in Mi Zhu's tone, Lu Bu strode into the hall without looking at Mi Zhu at all, and his voice was majestic: "This general doesn't care about hundreds of thousands of stones, grain and grass, so pass the order. Withdraw our troops and return to Division Guanzhong.”

Seeing Lu Bu coming in, Mi Zhu bowed his hands in salute, but what surprised him was the last part of Lu Bu's sentence.If Lu Bu really retreated, Cao Cao would be free to stabilize Xuzhou, which would be harmful to his plan.

"The general is retreating now, isn't it a pity to pay for it before?" Mi Zhu frowned slightly, wanting to give up Lu Bu's idea of ​​retreating.

Of course Lu Bu would not retreat just like that, but if Mi Zhu wanted to use this to force him to submit, Lu Bu would not agree.

He hated being threatened the most in his life.

"This general doesn't like to cooperate with people who don't believe what they say. As for whether there is any loss, I don't need to worry about it." Lu Bu said in a cold voice, and immediately waved his hand without mercy: "Come on, see off the guests!"

Mi Zhu couldn't help feeling a little anxious. The task hadn't been completed yet, so he couldn't just go back like this, and hurriedly argued: "It's clear that the general sent troops to force Cao Cao's squadron, but now that Xuzhou has been destroyed, do you think you broke your promise first?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu sneered, "I remember that I only promised to send troops to Yanzhou, but I never guaranteed the safety of Xuzhou. Now, Cao Cao is already on the way to retreat to Yanzhou. Does this also mean that this general has broken his promise?"

Chen Gong was on the sidelines to help: "The general sent troops and exerted all his strength to expedite the breach of Fan County. General Ma Chao almost died and died for the country. Looking at Brother Mi, half of the promised 50 shi of grain has not been seen, and now he still has face They came here to accuse us of not being right, they turned back on our promises, and the villains sued us first, that’s all there is to it.”

Some sharp words made Mi Zhu speechless for a short time.

"If you have nothing else to do, please go back!"

"Then, General, you..."

"I don't need your Excellency to worry about the matter of this general."

"..."

Mi Zhu was expelled from the county mansion, and the task was not completed yet, so he definitely couldn't just go back like this, so he found a post house in the city to settle down.

After staying for two days, thinking about what Liu Bei said to him before leaving, Mi Zhu gritted his teeth, and went to the door to ask to see him again with the cheek.

But this time, he was directly rejected.

Lu Bu didn't want to see him, and Chen Gong didn't want to talk to him either.

It was impossible not to see Lu Bu, and in a hurry, Mi Zhu thought of Guo Jia who he had met last time.

He asked people where Guo Jia lived, but when he got there, Guo Jia was not there.

Mi Zhu sent money and learned that Guo Jia had gone to a wine shop not far from the west of the city.

Hurrying over, Guo Jia was indeed drinking there.

Mi Zhu walked to the opposite side and sat down, smiling, and bowed hands to Guo Jia: "Guo Jijiu, long time no see, don't come here to be safe!"

When Guo Jia saw Mi Zhu, he was displeased as if he had seen a plague god, and got up to leave.

Mi Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back, and asked why.

Guo Jia had no choice but to sit down again, drank a mouthful of winter wine, sighed and said, "Mi Zizhong, you have made me suffer!"

"What do you mean by that?" Mi Zhu didn't understand why.

"Did you say you won't give food?"

Guo Jia asked him, Mi Zhu didn't speak, it was a tacit consent.

"Sure enough, it's no wonder that my father-in-law called me in two days ago, and he was full of curses."

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Well, I was the middleman in this matter back then, and I personally guaranteed the ticket. I said that Mi Zizhong, a benevolent man, is the most honest man, and it is impossible to go back on what he says. And what you are doing now, my father-in-law will certainly not take anything against you, But you put me in the field of infidelity and injustice, how can I stand in the future?"

Guo Jia heaved a sigh of relief, and then took another sip of wine, which seemed to be a way to relieve his worries.

"I'm sorry for my brother." Mi Zhu blushed. He promised 50 shi of food and grass before, on the premise that Lu Bu could keep Xuzhou.

"Brother Zizhong, don't blame yourself. Xuzhou has been poisoned by Cao Cao, and the people are in trouble everywhere. I understand that you can't afford so much food." Guo Jia comforted Mi Zhu in turn, and filled a glass of wine with him, " Don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, if brother Zizhong has encountered new troubles, I will definitely help you if I can help!”
