Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Immediately, the furious Lu Bu did not even clean the blood stains on his armor. He led a team of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and rushed angrily towards the central military tent set up by Cao Wei.

When he saw Lu Bu, Cao Cao asked with a look of surprise on his face.

"King Zhao, you've been fighting all day, why don't you just take a rest? Why did you come to me?"

Full of murderous aura, Lu Bu strode up to Cao Cao, looked down at Cao Cao who was sitting as still as a mountain, and shouted.

"Cao Cao, don't you think you need to give me an explanation?"

This scene shocked all the Cao Wei generals present so much that they almost subconsciously stood up and drew their swords, pointing them in the direction of Lu Bu, fearing that Lu Bu would suddenly attack and do harm to Cao Cao.

Seeing this, the Bingzhou Wolf Riders brought by Lu Bu also drew their swords to meet the enemy.

For a moment, cold light flashed in the central military tent, and the atmosphere became tense almost instantly.

Until Cao Cao shouted with some displeasure.

"Stop! Who allowed you to be so disrespectful to the King of Zhao? Put away your weapons quickly."

The Cao Wei generals hesitated for a moment, and facing Cao Cao's unquestionable gaze, they slowly retracted their weapons, but they also stared at Lu Bu with extreme vigilance.

This distance... is too close!

If Lu Bu had any evil intentions, even if the Cao Wei generals tried their best to save him, they might not be able to save Cao Cao. This made everyone nervous.

After giving orders to his generals, Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu again and asked.

"I really don't know what the King of Zhao meant. May I ask what is the explanation that caused the King of Zhao to be so furious?"

Lu Bu stared at Cao Cao sharply and said coldly.

"Are you still pretending to be confused? Let me ask you, the Han army has been attacking my camp fiercely for the past few days, and there have been bloody battles every day. What have you been doing, Cao Cao? Playing the zither and welcoming the drums? What Guandu Music was performed..."

At this point, Lu Bu looked down and happened to see a piece of paper on the table with "Guan Du Zou·No. 6" written on it. He laughed in anger.

"And... the sixth one?!"

Cao Cao greeted him with a smile and said, "King Zhao, please stop being so angry. The reason is not what it seems. Please listen to my explanation."

Lu Bu said nothing and continued to stare at Cao Cao, looking as if he would turn hostile at any moment.

Cao Cao looked calm and said seriously.

"The King of Zhao is furious right now, which is exactly what Zikun wants to see. This is also the reason why Zikun intends to attack the King of Zhao and ignore the camps we have set up on the east side, in order to drive a wedge between you and me."

Lu Bu's anger stagnated...

As the saying goes: Long illness makes a doctor.

Lu Bu has used more tactics to sow discord, and although he is still easily deceived by them, he has also invisibly developed a certain sensitivity related to them.

Lu Bu had to admit that what Cao Cao said made a lot of sense, and it did seem like a strategy to sow discord.

But Lu Bu is not someone who can be dismissed with just a few words, he said sternly.

"When we formed an alliance and went to war, did the King of Wei swear to advance and retreat together? Even if the traitor Li Ji plots again, does the King of Wei intend to sit back and watch the Han army and I suffer defeat, and then reap the fruits of our labor?"

"How unfair! I have absolutely no such intention."

Cao Cao spoke anxiously.

"Now that I am a relative of the King of Zhao, you and I are one family. How could I ignore the King of Zhao? The reason why I pretended to cooperate with Li Zikun was just to paralyze the Han army and find an opportunity to fight."

Perhaps he was moved by the words of the "family", Lu Bu's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he asked, "Is what the King of Wei said true?"

"No lies."

Cao Cao stood up, pulled Lu Bu to sit down, and poured wine for Lu Bu, which quickly eased the atmosphere.

With Cao Cao's skills, if he really wanted to stabilize Lu Bu, who was already bound by interests and marriage, he would not be as incompetent as Liu Xie. It would only take a few glasses of wine for him to do it.

When Chen Gong came over in a hurry, Lu Bu was already having a pleasant conversation with Cao Cao, and there was no sense of tension at all.

Chen Gong couldn't help but frown, knowing that with Lu Bu's wisdom and political level, he would probably be treated like a dog if he faced Cao Cao alone.

Chen Gong, who was originally worried that Lu Bu would have a conflict with Cao Cao, became even more worried when he saw Lu Bu talking so happily, and he spoke up quickly.

"All military matters still require the king's decision, please return to the camp as soon as possible."

Lu Bu frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure, but then he suppressed it. He realized that although he had benefited a lot from chatting with Cao Cao, he still had to focus on military matters. Then he stood up and said goodbye to Cao Cao.

"Go slowly, King Zhao..."

Cao Cao personally sent Lu Bu to the gate of the camp, which made Lu Bu feel warm.

Chen Gong couldn't help but glare at Cao Cao, knowing that Cao Cao must have bad intentions.

"Please slow down, Gongtai. When you have free time in the future, you may come to me to discuss ways to deal with the Han army." Cao Cao said with a smile on his face.

"No need."

Chen Gong did not conceal the coldness in his eyes. After slightly bowing in return, he followed Lu Bu back to his own camp.

Halfway through the journey, Chen Gong, fearing that Lu Bu had fallen into some evil trap, hurriedly began to ask.

"Cao Cao is a treacherous and cunning man. If he has said anything to the king, you must not believe it. The king should discuss it more before making a final decision."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

"Gongtai's view of the King of Wei is inevitably biased. The King of Wei just explained in detail the reason why he did not take any action for the time being. It was not that he did not intend to take any action, but that he had other plans..."

"And the King of Wei has promised me that within ten days, we will gain something, which will greatly ease the offensive faced by our army."

Chen Gong frowned and didn't believe a word of what Cao Cao said.

In Chen Gong's opinion, it was true that Cao Cao was trying to figure out how to deal with the Han army, but by just watching the fire from the other side of the river, he must have been thinking of taking the opportunity to weaken the State of Zhao.

Only Lu Bu would believe Cao Cao's words completely after just a few words.

However, Chen Gong, who knew Lü Bu's character well, knew that if he continued to persuade Lü Bu not to believe Cao Cao's words at this moment, Lü Bu might get angry. So he had to change the subject and mentioned the casualties reported by various camps today...

Hearing those numbers, Lu Bu's expression became solemn and tense. He kicked his horse's belly and quickened his speed back to the camp.

Has the Han army's offensive been fierce in the past six days?

It was fierce, but it was far from being an attack without regard for casualties.

The real difficulty was that the attacking methods of the various units of the Han army were endless, which made the various camps set up by Lu Bu, who was well versed in military tactics, overwhelmed.

Starting from the third day alone, Lu Bu had to personally act as a firefighter and lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to rush to various camps to provide assistance.

But even so, Lu Bu felt exhausted.

Although the attacks were all coming from the other side, it gave rise to a feeling of being ambushed from all sides and being overwhelmed. (End of this chapter)
