Chapter 3 Three Conditions
After leaving the bedroom, Lu Bu went straight to the stable and saw the majestic and handsome Red Hare at a glance.

In the novel, after the death of the original owner of this horse, only Guan Yu was worthy of its fame.

But in this life, he will never let this horse have another owner!
Lu Bu approached the Red Hare and was about to grab its reins.

The Red Hare suddenly stared at him with its two big black eyes and snorted twice!
Lu Bu was slightly startled.

Did the horse realize that he was not the original owner?
But the next moment, he pulled the reins hard, put his head against the forehead of the Red Hare, and threatened coldly:

“Even if I’m not him, I won’t dishonor your reputation and his!

"But if you dare to act out in front of me, don't blame me for killing you with one blow of my halberd!"

Feeling the familiar terrifying aura, the Red Hare, which had been so arrogant just now, suddenly lowered its head obediently.

Lu Bu loosened the reins and a smile reappeared on his face:
"That's right. Follow me carefully, and I'll find you some beautiful little mares in the future!"

"Xu~"

The Red Hare seemed to understand what Lu Bu said and neighed twice excitedly.

Lu Bu grinned, led the other person out of the mansion, jumped on his horse, and headed straight to Wang Yun's mansion.

……

Situ House.

A servant with a black mole on the corner of his mouth knelt on one knee and reported to the old man with bright clothes and white hair and beard:
"Replying to Situ, Marquis Wen was not angry at all when he heard that Diao Chan and Grand Tutor Dong entered the bridal chamber."

"what?!"

Wang Yun stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

It was obvious that the other party was very angry last night when he found out that Dong Zhuo had taken Diao Chan away.

How come I’m not angry now that I know they consummated their marriage?
Did Li Ru use some method to appease Lu Bu?

Just as Wang Yun was thinking about the trouble, a servant came hurriedly:
"Reply to Situ, Marquis Lü Wen wants to see you!"

"Oh?"

Wang Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked:

"What does Lord Wen look like?"

"Replying to Situ, Marquis Wen looks normal."

"hiss--"

Wang Yun took a deep breath and his expression changed from gloomy to bright.

He then waved his hand and asked Lu Bu's servants to leave through the back door, while he went to the main gate to meet them.

……

Lu Bu stood in front of Situ Mansion, looking at the various ancient people on the street.

Suddenly, I felt like I was watching people filming a movie.

However, those skinny refugees in the streets are not something modern people can play...

The people are prosperous and suffer.

If they die, the people will suffer.

During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period of constant wars, massacres and the construction of Jingguan, the people undoubtedly suffered more!

He was once again thankful that he had traveled through time and space to become Lu Bu instead of an ordinary person.

Otherwise, the difficulty of his start would be much higher than it is now!

Not long after, Lu Bu saw a white-haired but vigorous old man walking out of the mansion gate quickly and bowing to him respectfully:
"Marquis Wen is so honored to have come. I am sorry that I failed to welcome you from afar. I beg your forgiveness!"

Lu Bu glanced at the old man, and clasped his fists in return with a fake smile:

"You are too polite, Situ Wang. Lu Bu came here to discuss something important with Situ."

"Oh?"

Wang Yun vaguely guessed something, and hurriedly invited Lu Bu into the mansion and went straight to his secret study.

He closed the door tightly, and then looked at Lu Bu in the soundproofed room:
"It's absolutely safe here, Wen Hou, feel free to speak."

Lu Bu looked around the clean and tidy study and said with a half-smile:
“Although I said I had something important to discuss, I didn’t say it was confidential.

"Situ brought me here, do you think I want to harm the Grand Master?"

Wang Yun was slightly startled.

This guy is usually very straightforward, why is he suddenly beating around the bush today?
He was not panicked at all, and asked back with narrowed eyes:

"Is not it?"

Except to discuss with him how to deal with Dong Zhuo, or snatch Diao Chan back from Dong Zhuo.

He didn't think the other party came here for other reasons. Lu Bu was secretly shocked.

As expected of an old fox who has been in the court for many years, he is indeed quite capable.

Seeing that the other party was not intimidated by him, Lu Bu no longer concealed his intention and immediately saluted:

"No one knows Bu better than you... That's right, Bu came here this time because of the thief Dong!"

Dong thief...

Hearing this name, Wang Yun finally felt relieved.

But he was a little surprised. Was his plan to sow discord working too quickly?

Or was it that Lu Bu actually had rebellious intentions long ago, but it was the incident with Diao Chan that completely ignited his anger?

Seeing that Wang Yun was silent, Lu Bu continued:

"I am willing to help Situ kill the thief! But I also hope that Situ will agree to my three conditions."

Hearing that Lü Bu was actually negotiating with him, Wang Yun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and then he stroked his beard and said:
"Wen Hou, please tell me."

"First, I need an imperial decree from your majesty to kill the thief."

Wang Yun nodded: "Of course, Dong Zhuo is notorious after all, and only your majesty's decree can justify punishing him."

"Secondly, after killing the bandits, I can be considered to have made outstanding contributions. I hope the court can appoint me as the governor of Lujiang." Lu Bu continued.

"Lujiang prefect?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Yun's eyes:
"Lujiang is so far away from Chang'an, why don't you join me in assisting Your Majesty in Chang'an?"

Lu Bu smiled and shook his head:

"I am a military man, and I don't like the intrigues in the court.

“Furthermore, once the thief Dong is eliminated, the forces in the remote areas will no longer have the goal of destroying Dong, and will surely attack and annex each other.

"If I go to a foreign place to be stationed, it will definitely have a deterrent effect. What do you think, Situ?"

Wang Yun thought for a moment and nodded slightly:

"I will report to His Majesty at that time. If Marquis Wen can really get rid of the thieves, I'm sure His Majesty will agree to this request!"

Lu Bu shook his head and started bargaining:
“When your majesty issues an edict to attack the rebels, please also express my thoughts to me, Situ.

"If I can get the reward from the court in advance, I will be more confident and motivated when I kill the bandits!"

Wang Yun frowned slightly, but then relaxed again.

Still the familiar Lu Bu, as greedy as ever...

But killing the bandits is the most important thing right now. Lujiang County is just a small place, so it’s no big deal to reward them.

Wang Yun pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:
"I will report this to His Majesty."

Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction and continued:

“Third, when I leave Chang’an, I will take with me 3,000 cavalrymen to escort me and my family to Lujiang County to take up my post.

“Besides, I have just arrived in Lujiang, and the officials below may not obey me.

“If we have some manpower on hand, we can do our work better.

"This is just a small matter, Wang Situ should be able to understand it."

This time, Wang Yun agreed after just a brief thought.

Not to mention that these three thousand cavalrymen are Lu Bu's main troops.

The Bingzhou Iron Cavalry can only play its best role in Lu Bu's hands.

Moreover, only three thousand soldiers and horses are not many. If Dong Zhuo dies, there will still be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in the city.

Without a good enough commander, having too many soldiers is not a good thing.

Therefore, it is no big deal to give these three thousand cavalry to Lu Bu.

You can also give the other party some face and let him work hard to kill the enemy.

"Are these the only conditions?"

Wang Yun recalled Lu Bu's three requests, and they didn't seem as exaggerated as he had imagined.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile:

"After Dong Zhuo's death, my daughter was left without anyone to rely on.

"How about I marry Diao Chan to Marquis Wen at that time?"
