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

Chapter 440 Mao Jie
At the end of the year and the end of the year, instead of being bustling, Luoyang City, the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, became much cooler.

On this day, a strange guest came to Lu's mansion, he said he was from Chenliu, and he wanted to see General Zhenbei urgently.

The servant at the gate reported the matter to the steward, and the steward went to ask for Lu Bu's opinion, and after getting permission, he brought this man into the mansion.

In the parlor hall, Lu Bu sat in the central seat, clasped his arms, looked at the middle-aged scribe standing in the hall, searched in his mind, but found no impression of him.

"Mao Jie, a humble man, pay my respects to General Zhenbei." The middle-aged scribe signed his name and bowed to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Tell me, why are you looking for General Ben?"

Mao Jie didn't go around in circles, and cut straight to the point: "I am dissatisfied with the general, so I came all the way here, but I was ordered by Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and wanted to ask General Zhenbei to help rescue King Hongnong."

Cao Cao is still a fugitive who was offered a reward by the court. Just in case, Mao Jie lied that he came under the order of Zhang Miao.

"You want to use the reputation of King Hongnong to attack Dong Zhuo?" A sneer came from beside him.

Hearing this, Mao Jie was startled suddenly, he didn't expect that their plan would be revealed in a word, so he hurriedly looked sideways.Sitting on the lower right hand side is a young man with a white fox face. He is handsome and has a touch of wildness.

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao." Guo Jia replied indifferently.

Guo Fengxiao?
Mao Jie muttered twice in his heart, obviously he had never heard of such a number one person, but he also remembered this name in his heart.

At this time, another voice sounded in the hall: "Brother Mao Jie, my general is not familiar with Zhang Miao, why should he help him?"

Mao Jie followed the voice, and the thin young man sitting on the left spoke.

This person's appearance is quite different from that of the white fox boy just now, and he belongs to the kind that can never be found when he is thrown into the crowd, and he is completely unobtrusive.

Mao Jie did not answer the joke, but cupped his hands and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, I believe you are neither blind nor deaf. Dong Zhuo has brought disaster to the country and the people, and has become the target of public criticism for his cruelty and rebellion. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, Also, the late emperor valued him so much that he was supposed to help us fight against the rebels, so why don’t we choose to turn a blind eye and watch the Great Han Dynasty be buried in Dong Zhuo’s hands?”

Snapped!
Lv Bu slapped the table suddenly, interrupted Mao Jie, and sternly reprimanded: "Who are you to send? How dare you slander the grand master of the dynasty and want to instigate this general to rebel. You will be punished. Come on, give it to me." Drag him down and send him to the Ting Wei Mansion for strict trial!"

Chen Wei and Hua Xiong at the door heard the order, strode in, dragged Mao Jie and walked out.

Mao Jie is a scribe, so naturally he can't break free from the constraints of the left and right. Once he enters the Tingwei Mansion, he will never return.

Thinking of this, he will die anyway, so he simply cursed: "Lu Bu, you despicable villain, shameless person, Cao Mengde is really blind, he misjudged you!"

"Wait a minute."

Hearing the three words Cao Mengde, Lu Bu asked Chen and Wei to push Mao Jie back, and Fox asked, "Did Cao Mengde send you here?"

This time Mao Jie didn't lie and admitted it.

"When is Cao Mengde going to raise his troops?" Lu Bu asked seemingly unintentionally.

"This……"

Mao Jie had a troubled expression on his face, this matter is a military secret, so how could he tell Lu Bu about it.

Seeing Mao Jie's melancholy face, Lu Bu waved his hand again, "Since I don't even have a basic sense of cooperation, I don't have anything to say, see off the guests."

When Mao Jie heard this, how could it be possible? Cao Cao failed to accomplish what he had told him, so how could he go back and return to his command.

Moreover, according to what Lu Bu said, it seems that there is a tendency to cooperate. After weighing the pros and cons, Mao Jie replied truthfully: "If things go well, it should be early spring next year."

"How many soldiers and horses have you recruited?"

"Seven thousand steps and rides."

"That's it? It seems that the number of people is still far behind."

"That's why I need the help of the general to rescue King Hongnong, and order the princes of the world to raise troops and attack Dong Zhuo together."

"Hmm~"

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and gave an answer: "This matter cannot be rushed. It can't be completed in a short while, and it needs to be discussed in the long run. During this period of time, I will trouble you to stay in the mansion temporarily. After clearing up the situation, we will make rescue plans."

Mao Jie couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he could only nod in response.

Lu Bu called the steward and asked him to arrange a room for Mao Jie to live in. He also ordered Chen Wei to let people keep an eye on Mao Jie and not allow him to take a step out of the house.

After Mao Jie followed the steward, he looked at Lu Bu with a solemn face, "General, do you really want to help them save King Hongnong? This is extremely risky. If it is discovered, it is not a joke."

Guo Jia on the other side also agreed with this: "Xi Zhicai is right, even if you rescue King Hongnong, it will not do you any good. At that time, you may not be able to eat mutton, and you will be in trouble." '."

"If I don't save him, I will be the one who kills him in the future."

Lu Bu sighed, no matter what, the late Emperor Liu Hong had been kind to him.If he killed his son in the future, regardless of his reputation, it would be a bit ungrateful in terms of moral conscience.

Cao Cao and others raised troops under the banner of King Hongnong, and with Dong Zhuo's irritable temper, they would definitely send someone to kill Liu Bian first.So here comes the question, who should be sent to deal with such insidious and reputation-damaging matters?
Li Ru is not a good man and a believer in women, and he will not blink his eyes when killing people.He still doesn't believe in Lu Bu, so this matter will most likely fall on Lu Bu.

Lu Bu also knew very well that killing the imperial student already made him infamous, and if he killed Hongnong King Liu Bian, the scholars all over the world would have to scold him with jumping feet.

Therefore, even if King Hongnong is not handed over to Cao Cao and the others, he must be rescued first.

Lu Bu had already made up his mind, and it was hard to say anything more about the play, so he could only think of a way, and figure out how to rescue him.

In the evening, after dinner, in Lu Bu's study.

The candlelight illuminated the room brightly, and a young figure stood respectfully in front of Lu Bu's desk.

"Do you know the palace well?"

Lu Bu flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand, without looking up at the person in front of him, just talking lightly.

"Very familiar." The former young eunuch is now a domestic slave of the Lu Mansion.

"If you want to rescue King Hongnong, how sure are you?"

"Hard to say."

His name was 'Qing Liao', and he replied in a low voice: "Since the death of the adoptive father, the power of the palace has been purged, and almost all of our party members have lost contact."

"What if someone is an internal response?" Lu Bu added, looking at the words on the bamboo slips.

"It's probably only [-]% sure." Qing Liao didn't dare to trust, after all, it was an important place in the palace, and the guards were extremely strict, not to mention that the person Lu Bu wanted to save was the emperor's elder brother.

One can imagine how difficult it is.

"Okay, you go down."

Lu Bu waved his hand, and soon he was the only one left in the study.

In this matter, in addition to full cooperation, the consent of the parties must be obtained.

If Liu Bian doesn't cooperate, even if they try their best, they won't be able to save him.

"It seems that I have to take time to find an opportunity to go to the palace to meet that Hongnong King."

Lu Bu muttered to himself, closed the bamboo slip in his hand, blew out the candle, and walked out of the study.
