Chapter 167 Bottom Line
The anti-Dong flag had just been raised. Although Dong Zhuo was furious, he was not too worried. The Yuan family was still held hostage by him in Luoyang. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not dare to act rashly. As long as the Yuan family did not stir up trouble, other small fish and shrimps would
He still didn't take it to heart, but since someone had started a war, preparations had to be made for the war, and Liu Bian's son couldn't be kept.
On that day, Dong Zhuo ordered Li Ru to poison Liu Bian to death.
Dong Zhuo had taken Wu Shi Powder and indulged in excessive sexual activities recently, and his energy was not as good as before, so he left full power to Lu Bu to arrange the war.
This battle had already been arranged when Lu Bu deployed the defenses around Luoyang, and at this time only Cao Cao and Qiao Maogang were taking the lead, and the others had not yet emerged. Apart from asking people to prepare food and fodder, there was nothing else to arrange.
What Lu Bu should consider more at this time is: first, how far should he go in this battle? Should he completely defeat the coalition forces in a crushing manner, or should he be in a stalemate without losing or losing.
Secondly, after this battle, he must control all the soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo. Which of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang generals should be killed and which should be retained? Without human intervention, the ragtag coalition forces would not be able to deal with Niu Fu and Hu Zhen.
et al.
Thirdly, now that things have developed to this point, he should think carefully about how to get off the pirate ship.
Ever since he entered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo seemed to have always been the stronger one, but in fact he was being led by Yuan Wei and others. Thinking about the situation he would be in after replacing Dong Zhuo in his dream, he was determined not to dare to do so in the imperial capital, a battlefield where swords and swords could not be seen.
Keep.
Lu Bu was a little confused at this time. He couldn't do it for the sake of justice, but if he went to Bingzhou with the name of Dong Zhuo's remnant, he would never be able to get rid of this shackles for the rest of his life. Thinking about the titles of slaves with three surnames in his previous life, Lu Bu just felt a headache.
When he first took refuge with Dong Zhuo, he thought he could change Dong Zhuo, but he found out that many things were not as simple as he thought. Now that Lu Bu could not discuss these matters with Jia Xu, he thought that he would not see Amo for two days, so he might as well call her to talk to her.
.
It was a cold winter day, so Lu Bu had Zhang Mo's favorite hot pot prepared, and the two of them sat around the stove eating and chatting.
Zhang Mo said, "This matter is not urgent. What is happening now is somewhat different from what you saw in your dream. We don't know exactly who will respond to the call. We don't know the direction and strategy of the coalition forces. We will wait and see."
"
In fact, Zhang Mo's memory of the specific princes who sent troops is a little confusing. In the novel, there are eighteen princes, but there are not so many in history, and they are not all gathered at Hulao Pass as written in the novel. In just a few months,
After the fight was over, the time span of this battle in history seemed to be about two years.
Lu Bu cooked a piece of meat for her and put it in her bowl. Seeing that she was satisfied with the meal, he smiled and said, "Well, I was too impatient!"
Zhang Mo said while eating, "As for how to deal with Niu Fu and others, you must control your speed. You must not lose this battle. Even if you want to retreat to Bingzhou, you must not be beaten away by them."
Zhang Mo said, looking at him suspiciously, "Dong Zhuo has handed over the command to you. You are much better than me in battlefield planning and control. It won't be too difficult to kill the enemies with their own hands, right?
Why do you need to ask me?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly, "The main reason is that these enemies are too weak and their will to attack is not firm."
He picked up a handkerchief and dipped the sauce on her lips, "Of course, because I miss you, I called here to hear your opinion!"
Zhang Mo automatically ignored the first half of his sentence, took a sip of rice wine and burped again, put down his chopsticks and took the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and continued to answer his third question.
"As for the issue of getting off the pirate ship, it would be best to kill your relatives in a just act of justice, and then seek to be released to the state. But I know that you will not kill Dong Zhuo, and now I can't think of any good way to get rid of this name for you. Let's wait for this...
Let’s watch it after the battle.”
It can be said that killing Dong Qing was too impulsive. Lu Bu could only get rid of his son-in-law relationship with Dong Zhuo by making peace with him. Even if he was widowed, he would still be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.
If there is a reconciliation, Niu Fu will be promoted after Dong Zhuo's death, and Lu Buyin will take the real power behind the scenes, then the outside world will target Niu Fu, and Lu Bu will submit to the court like Hu Zhen and Duan Xuan in history.
Then he asked to be released, and he completely got rid of Dong Zhuo's reputation as a remnant.
I was impulsive. Now that he is dead, Lu Bu can only hang on to his identity as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law for the rest of his life. It's so sad! So sad!
Lu Bu sat over and hugged her into his arms, rubbing his face against her temples, "Amo, shall we get married?"
Zhang Mo put her arms around his waist and leaned against him, "I'm only fifteen years old, and there are still three years left!"
"Why do you have to wait until you are eighteen? I can't wait any longer!" He whispered against her ear, "Do you know how hard I have waited these past few years!"
"Itchy..." Zhang Mo chuckled, "You said you wanted to wait..."
"I don't want to wait anymore..." Lu Bu picked her up and laid her down on the couch nearby.
Zhang Mo pushed him gently, "No, it's not possible now..."
Lu Bu kissed her and asked, "Why? We are engaged and she is dead. No one can stop you and me anymore..."
"In case of pregnancy, it is easy to have dystocia if you are too young. Wait another year until this battle is over..."
Zhang Mo is not a person who sticks to stereotypes. There is nothing wrong with two people being happy and having love between a man and a woman. But now that the war has just started, she doesn’t know whether history will remain the same. What if something unexpected happens and she gets pregnant again?
Very inconvenient.
Lu Bu stopped untying her belt and asked in surprise, "Is it difficult to give birth at a young age?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Mo nodded seriously.
"Then wait... wait..." Lu Bu turned over and sat up, "You sit down for a while, and I'll go outside to cool off."
Zhang Mo secretly glanced at his lower body, "Is it uncomfortable?"
"What do you think?" Lu Bu glanced at her angrily, opened the door and walked out. A cold wind blew in his face. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his hot body slowly returned to normal. He was about to turn around and go back to the house, but he saw the courtyard.
A servant hurried in from outside.
The servant ran over and shouted excitedly, "General, what a great event, what a great event, my wife is back!"
Lu Bu's expression changed, "Who did you say is back?"
The servant said, "Captain Li has sent his wife back safely! We just entered the gate."
When Zhang Mo heard the servant's report in the room, he was slightly stunned and said to himself, "Did God hear my voice and send me a surprise?"
"But...this surprise is a bit tricky!"
Zhang Mo shook his head, opened the door and came out. Lu Bu recovered from the shock, waved his hand for the servants to leave, and hurriedly explained, "I asked Ah Xu to lead people to guard the main road into Luoyang. I haven't seen anyone for so long, so I thought he must be dead.
Who would have thought it would take so long to come back?"
"I know."
Zhang Mo did not doubt that Lu Bu was deliberately merciful. He came from Shangdang County and returned half a month later. And these two people had been gone for more than a month. Not to mention Lu Bu, she also thought that they must be dead.
"I'm going out from behind. It's not a good time to meet Dong Qing."
Looking at her back as she turned and left, Lu Bu felt like thousands of knives were cutting in his heart. She was the wife he really wanted to marry, so why should he let her suffer this injustice and not even be able to walk through the front door?
Lu Bu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, "There's no need to go through the back door. You and I are engaged. She will know sooner or later, and I will never let her touch you."
"You can protect me in Luoyang, but what will happen when I go on an expedition?"
"Most of the soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang are my people. If my lord listens to her temptation and wants to touch you, I can only..." Lu Bu paused, and there was a hint of coldness in his deep voice, "Mutiny!"
Dong Zhuo's body was almost hollowed out, and he didn't have much time left. If he hadn't been forced to do so, Lu Bu really didn't want to abandon him at this time. For Dong Zhuo, losing power was more painful than killing him.
But Amo is her own bottom line, and no one can touch it!
"If you do this, you will be in chaos before Yuan Shao and others come."
If Lu Bu launched a mutiny in Luoyang, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen and others who were stationed outside would definitely bring their troops back, which would open up all the gates around Luoyang.
Lu Bu took her hand and walked out, "Don't be afraid. If you can't protect the one you love, what's the use of this world? From now on, I won't let you suffer any more injustice. I want you to be honest."
Stand by my side and let the world know that you are my wife."
Zhang Mo stared blankly at his side face, his stern lines, tall nose, and firm eyes. She was fascinated by his appearance. This was the arrogant and responsible Lu Fengxian in her heart.
