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

Chapter 751 Time Will Not Go Backwards

Entering Cao Ying, Lu Bu proposed to visit the camp.

Cao Cao guessed that Lu Bu wanted to spy on the military situation, so of course he refused to agree.But at this time Lu Bu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Cao Cao's wrist with a smile on his face.

Cao Cao himself is not weak in force, but when facing Lu Bu who is number one in the world, he can't break free, so he can only let Lu Bu forcefully drag him around the camp.

Seeing this situation, Cao Hong and others held their sabers on their waists, ready to attack at any time.

"Zi Lian, don't be reckless. My lord is beside Lu Bu. If we do something, Lu Bu will definitely capture my lord as a hostage." Xia Houyuan's face was sombre, and his voice was kept low to prevent Lu Bu from hearing the bluff.

After a round of inspection, Lu Bu found a lot of tricks. The place seems to be large in scale, but in fact there are not [-] to [-] Cao Jun soldiers.

So, what about others?

Lu Bu frowned, thinking carefully.

Cao Cao caught a glimpse of Lu Bu's thinking from the corner of his eye, and already guessed in his heart that Lu Bu must have discovered that many soldiers were missing in the barracks.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, today, Lu Bu can't get out of Cao Ying.

Cao Cao was full of confidence in his heart, and asked with a smile on his face: "Da Sima, how are our soldiers?"

"He's really a fierce warrior!"

Lu Bu stretched out his smile, and praised him without hesitation.

Afterwards, the two came to the big tent, and Cao Cao ordered someone to prepare wine and meat and bring them.

Chen Wei stood behind Lu Bu, Dian Wei also stood not far from Cao Cao's left, and Xu Chu guarded the tent door outside, not allowing idlers to come in or out.

"Meng De, haven't we seen each other for a while?" Lu Bu sighed after taking a sip of his wine.

Cao Cao thought for a while, with longing for memories on his face: "Yes, time waits for no one. Looking back, we once crusaded against the Yellow Turban together and served as officials in the court together. At that time, we drank freely in Luoyang and did everything we could. Yan, like close brothers, never thought that there would be such a situation today."

"To be honest, I, Cao Mengde, would rather be an enemy of the world than meet you, Lu Bu."

Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Lu Bu seemed to want to see clearly through this face whether what Cao Cao said was improvised or from the bottom of his heart.

"I don't want to either, but... there is no way."

Putting down the wine glass in Lu Bu's hand, there was a little helplessness in his tone, as if he also recalled some of the time that made people linger.

"Fengxian, since you and I don't want to go to war, then this matter is actually simple. As long as you withdraw from Yanzhou, won't this war be avoided?"

Cao Cao laughed, but he knew in his heart that this was impossible.

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, as if he had heard a very good joke.

He has been planning for so long to go out this time, how could he just return to Guanzhong based on Cao Cao's few words?
"Rather than letting me retreat, it would be better if you surrendered me. The world knows that you surrendered me, Lu Bu, no shame!"

Although the hope is slim, Lu Bu still has the idea of ​​​​recruiting Cao Cao: "As long as you are willing to surrender, I will immediately go to the court and declare you as the general who conquers the west. In a few years, I will attack the Guishuang Empire in the west. At that time, how about you leading the troops to fight?"

Cao Cao obviously didn't expect Lu Bu to solicit him so bluntly, and he simply didn't have the slightest bit of defense.He was stunned for a while, and then said half-jokingly: "Da Sima, your reputation is a 'big name' among the aristocratic family. I, Cao Mengde, have a small reputation, so it's better not to be criticized by people with you."

Faced with Cao Cao's teasing, Lu Bu was not displeased at all, and asked without giving up, "Are you rejecting it?"

Cao Cao didn't continue to dwell on this issue. He changed the subject and said slowly: "Da Sima, the world said that you will be the second Dong Zhuo, with power and merit. Now you have a name, gold, silver and money." There is no shortage, why not return the power to the emperor, and then be a good assistant, and be a pillar of the country and a virtuous minister whose name will last forever, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Not a bad idea.

But to actually do it, there is no possibility at all.

"Meng De, you became an official earlier than me. Don't you know the shady methods in the court?"

Lu Bu asked Cao Cao back, and then said it very frankly, without any shyness: "It is unlikely that the power will belong to the emperor. Offended officials and families, how could they allow me to live in this world?"

"I raise a big family, and a group of brothers who have lived through life and death. In official terms, they are my Lu Bu's henchmen. Once I collapse, they will all have to follow the family and punish the family."

Lu Bu spoke very normally, without any emotion or anger.

After spending a long time in the court, many things can naturally be understood.

A jug of wine was quickly drunk.

Cao Cao ordered to go down and ordered someone to bring another pot to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu poured himself a full bottle, and when he was about to drink, his ears moved suddenly, and he heard many rustling footsteps outside the tent, which seemed to have surrounded the military tent.

The wine glass paused in the air, then Lu Bu raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

"My lord, it's not suitable to stay here for long." Chen Wei was also alert, bent over and whispered in Lu Bu's ear.

Lu Bu waved his hands, looked at Cao Cao, and asked with a bit of drunkenness: "Meng Deke still remembers the time when we defeated Yang Di?"

Cao Cao nodded, of course he remembered.

"That night, I sat next to you on the grass. At that time I asked you, if you caught me one day in the future, would you kill me? Who can be captured, does Meng De remember?" Lu Bu recalled the scene back then.

Cao Cao nodded again. Many things that happened more than ten years ago have been forgotten, but that night is always vivid in his mind.

Boom!

There was a sudden thunder in the sky outside the tent without warning, and the wine bottle in Cao Cao's hand shook involuntarily, causing slight ripples.

This muffled thunder seemed to bring the two back to more than ten years ago.

"At that time, you were talking about the general trend of the world with me, and you asked me if I knew the changes of the dragon? I didn't know. Meng Deke still remembers how he answered me back then?"

"The dragon can be big or small, it can rise or hide; the big one can blow clouds and mist, the small one can hide its shape; the high one can fly between the universe, and the hidden one can hide in the waves. The spring is deep now, and the dragon changes with time. , It’s like a man who achieves his ambition and travels across the world. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world.”

Cao Cao's answer was exactly the same as back then.

"What is a hero?" Lu Bu asked again.

"Heroic husbands have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to hide the universe, and those who have the ambitions of the world." Cao Cao's small eyes lit up with starlight, and his eyes became sharp.

"At that time, Meng De asked me, I know that the hero of the world, but now Bu has the answer. I don't know if it is too late to answer now?"

"Great Sima, please speak, Cao will listen with all ears."

After speaking, Cao Cao stopped all movements in his hands, sat upright, and listened attentively.

"There is a man whose name originated from the border. He broke the moth thief, settled Xiliang, and set Liaodong. Yu Huanyu!

Can this person be a hero? "

The majestic voice echoed in the tent.

Cao Cao was shocked. He never expected that Lu Bu would give such an answer.

His eyes moved over, and Lu Bu also looked over at the same time.

Four eyes facing each other.

Cao Cao's small eyes were full of astonishment, but Lu Bu's gaze was extremely firm. The face known as the "face of a tiger" was full of domineering, full of ambition and great ambition.

Even Chen Wei, who was behind him, couldn't restrain his excitement. How lucky to be able to follow such a hero!

"This person is a hero!"

Cao Cao looked back and sighed, feeling like a hero short of breath for the first time.

In the past, no matter how powerful Lu Bu was, Cao Cao felt that he could beat him.

But now, Lu Bu has become more and more powerful, so that he completely suppressed himself.

Not in force, but in state of mind.

Cao Cao even felt that his methods were too base and not bright enough.

Can……

This is war.

If Lu Bu didn't die, he would be the one who fell.

Especially after getting to know Lu Bu again today, Cao Cao was even more determined that he would never let Lu Bu leave alive.

Pretty much everything that should be said has been said.

I also drank two jugs of wine.

Cao Cao got up and apologized slightly: "Sima, sit here for a while, let me be a little anxious, and go back as soon as I go."

Cao Cao avoided Lu Bu and walked out of the tent along the right hand side.

Lu Bu also stood up now, blocked Cao Cao's way, and said with a drunken smile: "Meng De, I have been delayed here, it's time to go back."

As he spoke, Lu Bu reached out to catch Cao Cao.

Seeing this, Dian Wei certainly wouldn't let the lord fall into Lu Bu's clutches again. With a big stride, his huge body burst into a powerful momentum, and he swung his fist with his right hand, wanting to strike first.

Seeing this, Lu Bu raised his eyebrows slantingly, instead of retreating he advanced, and also punched out.

boom!
The moment the two fists touched, a loud muffled sound erupted.

The two who punched each took half a step back, and it was considered a tie.

"Chen Wei, take down Cao Cao!"

While Lu Bu greeted Dian Wei, he gave the order decisively.

With a flash, Chen Wei jumped in front of Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao were allowed to escape from the tent safely, then he and the lord would surely be buried here today.

Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly drew his sword and stabbed at him. Chen Wei dodged it sideways, walked around behind Cao Cao, pulled out the dagger tied under his wrist, and put it at Cao Cao's throat.

This series of movements, like flowing clouds and flowing water, was completed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Houyuan and others who were guarding outside the tent heard the movement and rushed in immediately.

But they were still half a step late, Cao Cao had already been restrained by Chen Wei and stood in front of him.

Cao Cao was captured, and Dian Wei stopped fighting with Lu Bu.

Looking at the soldiers of Cao Jun rushing into the tent, Lu Bu didn't take it seriously, and even slowly tore a piece of cooked meat from the table, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Chen Wei pushed Cao Cao out of the camp, and Lu Bu followed suit.

When we came, the weather was still clear and bright.

It may be because of the thunder just now, which attracted a lot of dark clouds.

Lu Bu looked up at the sky, and it seemed that there would be a heavy rain soon.

There were dark clouds floating in the sky, and the atmosphere in Cao Ying was also very oppressive. Dozens of layers of Cao Jun soldiers surrounded the camp, holding weapons in their hands, almost like iron barrels.

Above the camp, thousands of crossbowmen aimed at Lu Bu. Cao Cao only needs to give an order to shoot this invincible general into a group of hedgehogs, and make him die as hard as possible.

"Lu Bu, let my lord go!"

Cao Hong who drew out his knife shouted loudly, at this time, he is not afraid of tearing his face with Lu Bu.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the others were also watching closely, whenever they had a chance, they would step forward and snatch the lord from Chen Wei.

If Lu Zhuan hadn't heard of it, even though he was surrounded by heavy siege, he still had no less demeanor.He looked at Cao Cao who was held hostage by Chen Wei, and asked with a smile: "Meng De, I sincerely come to reminisce with you, is this your way of hospitality?"

Cao Cao couldn't move, but said without fear on his face: "Feng Xian, even if your martial arts are world-class, you can't get out of my Cao Ying today!"

"My lord, what should I do?"

Facing the heavy siege of Cao Jun's soldiers, Chen Wei's tone seemed a little worried.He wasn't afraid of dying here, but he was afraid that the lord would not be able to accomplish his great cause.

"I dare to come, of course I can walk out." Lu Bu said very indifferently, those Cao Jun soldiers were like air in his eyes.

Cao Cao was amused by these words, and obviously didn't believe it: "I really don't know where you got your confidence from."

Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao and smiled the same way: "With you Cao Mengde in hand, I won't have to worry about getting out?"

The meaning in the words is obvious, that is to use Cao Operation as a hostage.

"Cao is just General Anton. If you were the important minister in the court, General Sima, it would be a steady profit." Cao Cao tried to use psychological tactics to confuse Lu Bu's thinking.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu would not accept this at all, but followed Cao Cao's words and said: "Then you tell them to shoot arrows, or you wipe the dagger with your neck, and we will die together."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Cao Cao's face froze, and soon became gloomy.

"You may not believe it when you tell it. Perhaps, I know yourself better than you."

Lu Bu whispered in Cao Cao's ear, as if he was convinced of him: "When you die, your power is basically over. I am different. Even if I die here, my son can still inherit my ambition. And, he's only going to be better than me."

Lu Bu knew Cao Cao's temperament very well, but he would not choose death easily if there was any hope of life.

Therefore, Lu Bu entered Cao Ying unscrupulously.

Cao Cao was eaten to death by Lu Bu, and in the end he did not give the order to "do it".As Lu Bu said, he dared to take risks, but he also cherished his life in his bones.

Before he achieved hegemony, he was unwilling to die like this.

Holding Cao Cao hostage, he walked out of the gate of the camp all the way.

Seeing their lord confronting Cao Jun, the guards quickly galloped over to support him.

Lu Bu got on his horse and said with a pun, "Meng De, thank you for today's hospitality, I will remember it in my heart."

Afterwards, Lu Bu left with a group of personal guards.

Cao Hong asked for pursuit, but Cao Cao might not.Although today was "a bamboo basket fetching water, all in vain", it made him especially admire this man who is invincible in the world.

I am not as good as you in courage and boldness!
You want to build your world of great men, and I, Cao Mengde, also have my own ambitions!
Recalling the general who Lu Bu just promised to conquer the west, when he was an official in Luoyang, Cao Cao drank with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and others. General Zhengxi.When you die, if you can inscribe on the tombstone "Tomb of Marquis Cao, General of the Han Dynasty Expedition to the West", you will have no regrets in this life.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu still remembered it all the time.

Cao Cao heaved a long sigh.

Unfortunately, time will not go backwards, and I will not look back.

　I don’t know if everyone is satisfied with the [-] words of this chapter tonight...
