"But Mengde and I are close friends..."

Zhang Miao looked hesitant and somewhat undecided.

"Prefect! Cao Ah'an, we praised him as the state shepherd, but do you think what he did to us?"

"He just doesn't want to use us seriously, but he still suppresses us vigorously. This is repaying kindness with enmity!"

"That's right!"

"He killed Mr. Wenli (Bian Rang's name) before. How do we know he won't kill us in the future?"

"Now is a great opportunity. We can't miss it, Prefect!"

A group of Yanzhou nobles spoke to persuade him.

Chen Gong, who was standing next to Zhang Miao, saw this situation and said softly,

"Prefect, you, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao are all close friends, but they both dominate each other now. Is the prefect willing to do this?"

His words touched Zhang Miao's heart.

Although the three of them grew up together, their current situations are completely different.

Yuan Shao has strong soldiers and horses, and is competing with Gongsun Zan for the position of northern hegemony.

Cao Cao is already Zhang Miao's immediate superior.

Zhang Miao is also a proud and arrogant person, how could he be willing to do so?

He was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily and said,

"Okay, Gongtai, as you said, contact Lu Bu and ask him to come to Yanzhou!"

Chen Gong and others were overjoyed and quickly accepted the order and left!

…

Hanoi County.

The heroic Lu Bu couldn't help laughing after receiving Zhang Miao's letter.

"God is really helping me!"

At this moment, a loud laugh came from outside the door,

"What makes Marquis Wen so happy?"

While he was talking, a burly military general walked in. It was Zhang Yang, who is now the prefect of Hanoi County.

"Brother Zhi, look quickly!"

After Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an, Zhang Yang took him in again and again. He also trusted Zhang Yang so much that he handed over the letter in his hand.

Zhang Yang read it carefully and couldn't help laughing.

"It's indeed a good thing!"

If Lu Bu can take over Yanzhou and replace Yanzhou Mu, he will have a chance to make a comeback.

As a good friend, Zhang Yang was naturally happy for Lu Bu.

But after calming down, Zhang Yang touched his chin and muttered,

"But we can't be too happy too early, what if there's a scam here?"

His worries are not without reason.

After all, Cao Cao was on good terms with Yuan Shao, so Lu Bu was being chased by Yuan Shao and had just fled to Hanoi County.

What if Cao Cao set a trap to lure Lu Bu into Yanzhou so that he could kill him?

This is not impossible.

"I don't think so."

Lu Bu smiled nonchalantly and said,

"I heard that Cao Cao vigorously suppressed the nobles in Yanzhou and even had Bian Zang killed. It is normal for Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to dislike Cao Cao."

Zhang Yang shook his head and warned,

“It’s essential to be on guard against others.”

"I see."

Lu Bu nodded,

"Brother Zhi, please lend me some soldiers and horses. After I take Yanzhou, I will never treat you badly!"

"As for our relationship, you are too polite to say such a thing! How about I give you another five thousand troops?"

"Five thousand is enough!"

Although there were many hardships along the way, Lu Bu still had five thousand troops in his hands.

These five thousand troops have been following him for a long time, and they are all elite Bingzhou cavalry who have experienced many battles on the battlefield.

Coupled with Zhang Yang's 5,000 troops and Zhang Miao's army, it will be absolutely easy to capture the empty Yanzhou!

"Okay, then I wish Wen Hou a triumphant victory!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said.

Without further ado, Lu Bu immediately ordered Gao Shun and the Eighth Generals to go and organize their troops.

He got up and came to take care of the backyard.

When Lu Bu pushed the door open and entered, there was a graceful figure sitting in the courtyard.

When she heard the voice, she slowly raised her head, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.

"Husband..."

Yes, this woman is none other than the famous Diao Chan.

"Madam! We have to get out of here!"

After seeing Diao Chan, Lu Bu couldn't wait to say.

"Leave here? Then... where are we going?"

Diao Chan said a little confused.

"The governor of Chenliu County, Zhang Miao, and others invited me to go to Yanzhou to replace Cao Cao as the state shepherd."

"As long as I become the state shepherd, you will also be able to enjoy happiness!"

Dreaming about the good days ahead, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile.

But Diao Chan was not as excited as him, instead she looked a little lonely.

"Madam, aren't you happy?"

Lu Bu noticed Diao Chan's expression, which was strange.

"Of course I am happy for my husband."

Diao Chan forced a smile.

"That's good."

Lu Bu felt relieved, looked around the courtyard, frowned and said,

"Where's that girl Lingqi?"

Diao Chan shook her head,

"I don't know where she went, and my husband also knows that she... doesn't like me very much."

"This girl!"

Lu Bu's face darkened and he comforted him in a good voice,

"Madam, please rest assured, this girl is just ignorant. When she gets older, she won't be like this anymore."

Diao Chan just nodded and did not continue to speak.

"We are leaving Hanoi County today. You hurry up and pack your luggage. I'll go find Lingqi."

Lu Bu left these words and strode out of the courtyard, leaving Diao Chan alone.

"Why……"

Diao Chan sighed quietly.

In fact, she didn't like Lu Bu from the bottom of her heart.

Only at the request of his adoptive father Wang Yun, he was forced to use a beauty trap to deal with Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.

But he didn't expect that after Dong Zhuo died, Wang Yun was also killed by Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

With no one to rely on, Diao Chan had no choice but to follow Lu Bu and escape from Chang'an, leading a homeless life.

Lu Bu was so jealous that he didn't allow Diao Chan to show her face at all.
