Chapter 187 Mrs. Mi? Miss Mi! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support of Please Slow Down~)
Facing Lü Bu's questioning, Mi Fang said in a trembling voice:

"My Lord, I am just a housekeeper. I don't know where my brother has gone, let alone the deployment plan of Liu Bei's army!
“My brother is wholeheartedly following Liu Bei, but in my opinion, Liu Bei is weak, like a leech clinging to the governor of Xuzhou.

“Perhaps because of this, Liu Bei was unwilling to employ me, and my elder brother also asked me to stay at home to watch the door.

"As for their movements, they won't reveal them to me at all..."

Looking at Mi Fang's pale face, Lu Bu felt that the other party did not seem to be lying.

And since Zhuge Liang was reborn, he naturally knew what Mi Fang had done in history.

If Mi Fang had not taken the initiative to hand over Nanjun to someone else, Jingzhou would not have been lost so easily.

If Jingzhou had not been lost, with the Shu Kingdom at its peak at that time, it would have been possible to deal a huge blow to the Wei Kingdom!

And Zhuge Liang's plan to attack the Central Plains after dividing the world into three parts may also go further!
It’s a pity...from ancient times to the present, the most difficult thing to understand is the human heart.

Therefore, it was completely predictable that Zhuge Liang would exclude Mi Fang in this life.

Seeing that he could not get any useful information from Mi Fang, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and asked excitedly:

"By the way, I heard that you have a sister. I wonder if she married Liu Bei?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Mi Fang's eyes.

But the next moment, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately shook his head and said:
"My sister is still unmarried! Although my brother Mi Zhu intends to marry Liu Bei.

"But Liu Bei had just married Gan in Xiaopei, so he had to give up for the time being.

"My little sister is quite pretty. If Marquis Wen doesn't mind, I can marry her to him as his concubine!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu fell into deep thought.

Although no one in history said that Mrs. Mi was very beautiful.

But she was born in a wealthy family and was presented to Liu Bei by Mi Zhu, so she must have been quite pretty.

Although Lu Bu already had many wives and concubines, his yearning for the beauties of the Three Kingdoms was deeply rooted in his bones.

The most important thing is that after traveling through time and space and becoming Lu Bu, he naturally repels Liu Da'er!
After all, in history, the death of the original owner had a lot to do with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was afraid that Cao Cao would get Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the world, and become more difficult to deal with, so he used Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu.

Now that Lu Bu has the opportunity to take away Liu Bei’s wife in history, he naturally will not let it go.

He wanted to vent the original owner's historical resentment towards Liu Bei on the Mi family!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu immediately nodded and agreed:
"I agree to this matter! But it is not suitable to get married now. When this war is over, I will marry your sister as a concubine."

Mi Fang nodded repeatedly.

Faced with Liu Bei's indifference and his brother's alienation, Mi Fang made up his mind to follow Lu Bu.

Compared to Liu Bei, who only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, he still felt that Lu Bu, who had already unified Yangzhou and Jingzhou, had more potential!
Lu Bu immediately stepped forward and pulled Mi Fang up.

Although he has not married Mi yet, as long as the war goes well, he and Mi Fang will become a family sooner or later.

However, given the opponent's historical performance, he could not give the opponent too important a position.

It is enough to just give the other person a sinecure and let him live the rest of his life in peace.

Lu Bu returned all the confiscated property to Mi Fang.

Mi Fang was very grateful for this and invited Lu Bu to visit the Mi family, but was rejected by the cautious Lu Bu.

He cannot be careless at any time until he is sure to conquer the East China Sea Kingdom.

Even though Mi Fang seems to be at odds with Liu Bei's army, we still have to be on guard against him.

Lu Bu's army only rested in Qu County for half a day.

The next morning, he left Xu Sheng and 10,000 soldiers to garrison Qu County.

He continued to lead an army of 50,000 towards Tan County, the capital of the Donghai Kingdom.

According to information sent back by scouts, there are a total of 4,000 soldiers in Tancheng.

The news of his invasion of Donghai State had also spread. Tan County had entered a state of war readiness and was obviously not going to surrender.

With only four thousand soldiers against his army of fifty thousand, it was undoubtedly like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

However, after learning that the defending general was Cao Bao, a general under Tao Qian, Lu Bu became a little confused.

Historically, Cao Bao married his daughter to Lu Bu.

It’s just that due to the change in the historical line, he and Cao Bao have nothing to do with each other now.

Although this guy's daughter should also be a beauty, otherwise the original owner would not have liked her.

But right now it was a war, and Lu Bu had no interest in marrying the daughter of a good-for-nothing.

Having a useless relative like Mi Fang is enough, there is no need to have another one like Cao Bao.

When he led his army to the city of Tancheng, he saw Cao Bao, a man with a fat face who looked like a common soldier.

Out of respect for his second wife Cao in history.

Lü Bu did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he personally came to the city and persuaded Cao Bao to surrender:

"I have heard of General Cao's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, he is indeed as majestic as a tiger or leopard in the forest.

"I am Lu Bu, and I have come here in compliance with the Emperor's secret decree to unify Xuzhou.

“Now the army is at the gates of the city, and General Cao has only a few thousand soldiers and horses. He has no chance of winning.

"Why don't you open the door and accept my surrender? Let's have a drink together. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could let the swords and sabers disappear in the midst of the wine?"

Hearing Lu Bu's flattery, Cao Bao suddenly became proud.

However, when he thought of the task assigned to him by his master, he could only shake his head:

“Let’s not talk about whether the secret decree mentioned by Wen Hou really exists.

"Even if it's true, why would the emperor keep such a thing secret?
"My master is the governor of Xuzhou appointed by the imperial court.

“If the emperor really wants to change the governor, he can just issue an edict directly. There is no need to issue a secret edict to you.

"Marquis Wen can deceive his subordinates, but don't deceive us, the governor of Xuzhou."

Seeing that Cao Bao was actually quite clever, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh:
“Since General Cao is determined to do so, I will not say much.

"I am in a hurry, so I will give you a great gift."

As he spoke, Lu Bu suddenly took off the dragon tongue bow hanging on the saddle with his left hand, grasped a light feather arrow with his right hand, and shot it towards Cao Bao fiercely!

It took less than two seconds from picking up the bow to shooting the arrow.

Cao Bao didn't even have time to react before he was shot in the left eye!

A shrill scream suddenly rang out.

Cao Bao squatted down almost instinctively, blood gushing out of his left eye, scaring the surrounding soldiers so much that they were at a loss!
It was a long time before they thought of looking for a military doctor, but Cao Bao had already fainted from the pain!

The arrow shot by Lu Bu was the clarion call for attack.

Under Lu Bu's personal command, the 50,000-strong army madly climbed towards the city wall like a tide of zombies.

Because the attack was conducted from four directions simultaneously, there were only a thousand defenders on each side of the city wall.

Faced with the fierce attack of more than 10,000 people on each side, Lu Bu continued to release cold arrows from under the city wall to provide assistance.

In addition, Cao Bao was unconscious and there were not enough generals to command.

In less than half a day, the east gate of Tancheng was captured.

This was even the case when many siege weapons were not carried or used.

If we had brought Liu Ye’s Thunderbolt Chariot, we could have easily captured Tancheng in less than an hour!
