Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 97 Attack Danyang!

As the bell rang, everyone subconsciously focused their attention on Gan Ning in the corner.

But except for a group of civil officials, most of the military generals looked unkindly at the Central Guard General.

Although Lu Bu valued him very much, he gave him a position as a Central Guard Officer comparable to Gao Shun, and even made him the prefect of Jiujiang.

But Gan Ning was born a pirate after all, and did not have much prestige in Lu Bu's military camp.

Therefore, when he went to the military camp intending to get close to the soldiers and build closer relationships with them, he found that he was rejected by most of them.

However, he did not blame Lu Bu or get angry about it.

He knew very well that he urgently needed a victory to prove his strength to these people!
For a military general, a thousand words are not as convincing as a victory.

Seeing Gan Ning volunteering and even promising a military order, Lu Bu immediately nodded in agreement:

"Okay! Everyone here is my trusted aides, I won't protect you in front of so many people.

"If you can't take Wujun, you'll be beheaded!"

Gan Ning showed joy on his face, and immediately knelt on one knee in front of Lu Bu:

"I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

Lu Bu nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on Lu Meng and Huang Gai:
"Ziming, Gongfu! I order you two to be deputy generals to assist General Gan in taking Wujun.

"If you can't do it, you will be beheaded as well!"

Lü Meng and Huang Gai stepped out at the same time and responded in unison:

"I will obey your orders!"

Lu Bu smiled to ease the atmosphere:

“But don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

"If I take Danyang ahead of time, I will attack Wujun from behind and lend you a helping hand!"

After the plan of sending troops was discussed, Lu Bu led his generals out of the tent to check the troops.

Not long after, Lu Bu suddenly saw Zhang Hong walking towards him quickly with a middle-aged man with a serious face.

Lu Bu was delighted and hurried to meet him.

"My Lord! I am here with Zibu to report to you!"

Lu Bu shook Zhang Hong's hand warmly, as intimately as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

Zhang Hong did not react too much to this. After all, he already knew Lu Bu's temper.

Zhang Zhao, who was standing by, frowned when he saw this scene:
"There should be a distinction between high and low between the ruler and his subjects, how can they be too close?

"Could this Wen Hou have some kind of affinity with Long Yang?"

Lu Bu's expression froze for a moment, and he suddenly had the urge to slap the other person.

However, he knew that Zhang Zhao in history was a man who dared to speak out and give advice.

The way he spoke was even more unpleasant than Yan Xiang's.

If Lu Bu didn't know the other person's character, he would easily feel disgusted with him.

This is also the main reason why, although he made great contributions to the Eastern Wu in history, Sun Quan was unwilling to let him be the prime minister twice.

To Zhang Zhao's surprise, upon hearing his sarcasm, the Wenhou was not angry, but bowed respectfully to him:
“Brother Zibu is right. From now on, I will pay attention to the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

“But my personality has always been like this, not because I have a preference for both men.

“I prefer to treat those who have done me a favor as relatives and friends rather than subordinates.”

Hearing Lü Bu's humble and gentle answer, even though Zhang Zhao was upright in character, he couldn't help but soften his tone:
"My suggestions are just suggestions. You don't have to listen to them, Lord Wen."

Lu Bu immediately shook his head:

"From now on, all of our army's internal affairs will be decided by Brother Zibu and Brother Zigang!
"Please feel free to tell me any questions you have. I will do my best to improve it as long as I can." Zhang Hong was already showing his surprise when he was entrusted with an important task as soon as he arrived.

Before he could express his gratitude to Lu Bu, Zhang Zhao frowned again:
"You don't even know me, yet you've entrusted me with important domestic affairs.

"Marquis Wen is too careless in his decisions and decisions!"

Hearing Zhang Zhao say such harsh words again, Zhang Hong couldn't help but glare at him.

However, Zhang Zhao turned a blind eye and just stared into Lu Bu's eyes.

Lu Bu laughed and suddenly felt that this guy's strictness was somewhat cute.

He patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder and said seriously:
"I believe in Brother Zigang's vision, and I have heard of your great name, Brother Zibu.

“I never act rashly when employing people.

"Since I dare to use you, it means I know you well enough!"

Seeing Lu Bu's sudden strong look, Zhang Zhao's heart trembled, and he subconsciously looked away and responded with a salute:
"Since the lord has said so, Zibu will do my best to do something for the lord!"

Hearing the change in the other party's address, Lu Bu knew that he had been recognized by the other party. His eyes became gentle again and a smile returned to his face:
"During my absence, the government affairs will be handed over to you two."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he immediately took Ling Cao, Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other generals who were good at naval warfare and 20,000 soldiers to Ruxu Port, boarded the warships, and headed towards Danyang County.

Gan Ning also took generals such as Lu Meng and Huang Gai, as well as 20,000 soldiers to Guangling to meet Zhang Chao.

……

Danyang County.

Governor Zhou Xin was sitting in the courtyard reading a book when his younger brother Zhou Yu suddenly came to report:
"Brother! Something terrible has happened!
"According to the spies, Lu Bu is personally leading an army of 20,000 to attack our Danyang County!"

Zhou Xin's hands trembled noticeably.

However, his expression was not too panicked, he just couldn't help but sigh:

"Is he coming after all?"

Zhou Xin put down the bamboo slips in his hand, slowly stood up, closed his eyes and felt the direction of the wind.

He is skilled in wind divination and can identify disasters by wind direction.

“When the wind comes from the west, it means war…Occasionally it turns to the northeast, which means a bad year.

"It seems that we'd better return to our hometown of Kuaiji in the northeast direction to avoid this disaster."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was immediately puzzled:
"We in Danyang County also have 6,000 soldiers and horses. We may be able to fight against Lu Bu's army. It would be too cowardly to just run away like this, right?"

Zhou Xin glared at his stupid brother fiercely:
"Ridiculous! Not to mention that Lu Bu is rumored to be the best general in the world.

"Eighteen lords couldn't do anything to him back then, so how can we defeat him with just six thousand soldiers?
“Besides, why should we let our soldiers die in vain for a battle that we can’t win?

"They are not only soldiers, but also sons of countless elderly people, husbands of women, and fathers of children...

"I have made up my mind, so hurry up and pack up and return to Kuaiji.

"This chaotic world is not suitable for people like us who have little ability to participate too much."

After hearing his brother's teachings, although Zhou Yu was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

Just as he entered the house to pack his things, a servant ran in hurriedly:

"Sir Governor, Lu Bu sent someone to deliver a letter."

Zhou Xin, who was about to disband his troops, had a look of doubt on his face.

Then he took the letter and read its contents.

After reading the letter, he suddenly showed a conflicted look on his face...
