Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 597
"You have saved my life. If I took your child as a hostage, wouldn't it be a joke for others?" Although as a Han Chinese, Lu Bu did not have much affection for Xianbei in terms of national feelings, but Murong Yan was How could Lu Bu, his own savior, want to see her mother and child separated.

"Could it be that the king doesn't trust our Murong tribe?" Seeing that Lu Bu refused to accept Murong Fangxin, the man next to Murong Yan said worriedly.

"My lord, it's better to keep this little girl. Only the Murong clan can move to Youzhou with peace of mind." At this time, Cheng Yu who was beside him suddenly said.

When Cheng Yu said this, Lu Bu immediately understood that although the Murong clan had no choice but to stay away from their homeland, for them who have always yearned for the culture of the Central Plains, being able to move to Youzhou and integrate into the world of the Han people is of great value. Magical things, but the Murong clan who will live under the fence also has a lot of worries at the same time. The biggest worry is that the Han people have no good intentions for them. For the Murong Clan, they need someone who can stay with the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty and who is willing to help the Murong Clan. Only in this way will the Murong Clan feel that their interests will be protected, and this person is Murong Fangxin, the daughter of Murong Yan who once saved Lu Bu.

Having figured this out, Lu Bu couldn't help looking at Murong Fangxin, who seemed innocent and innocent. He didn't expect that at such a young age, he would already shoulder the important task of thriving the ethnic group, and he didn't know that under such pressure, What will this young girl be like in the future.However, at this time Lu Bu had already decided to keep Murong Fangxin, not only as a hostage, so that Youzhou could take over the Murong clan with peace of mind, but also as a guarantee for the interests of the Murong clan in Youzhou, so that the Murong clan could move south with peace of mind.

"Xin'er, are you willing to stay by Uncle's side?" After thinking through all this, Lu Bu turned around and reached out to touch Murong Fangxin's small head, then asked.

"Mom said that Uncle is a great hero. As long as I stay by Uncle's side, Uncle will send someone to protect the Murong Clan. Is that true?" Hearing Lu Bu's question, the little girl blinked her eyes, tilted her head and asked suddenly.

"Did your mother say that?" Hearing the little girl's words, Lu Bu felt a little uncomfortable, but then he smiled and said to Murong Fangxin: "Your mother is right, I will send someone to protect the Murong clan, Would you like to stay with me?"

"I am willing, as long as mother is happy, I am willing to do anything." Hearing Lu Bu's answer, the little girl blinked, turned to look at Murong Yan, and then said.

But it is said that after Yuan Tan led his troops to Beiping, he immediately sent a letter, inviting the leaders of various ethnic groups in western Liaoning to discuss the matter of resisting Lu Bu's army.There was finally news today.

"My lord, the various ethnic groups in western Liao have sent representatives to Beiping to discuss the matter of fighting against Lu Bu's army. However, judging from the news that has spread, they seem not enthusiastic about fighting Lu Bu. Instead, they hope to cooperate with us and intercept Gongsun Gongsun. Continue." After hearing the news from various ethnic groups in western Liaoning, Feng Ji came to see Yuan Tan with some worries.

"Hmph, how can I not understand the small calculations of these guys. When my father fought Gongsun Zan, they took Gongsun Zan's anger, so they sent troops to help my father. Now that they know that Gongsun Xu is back, they are naturally afraid that Gongsun Xu will come back again. After taking charge of Beiping, it is not good for them. As for inviting them to deal with Lu Bu, they have always been unwilling to contribute because of Lu Bu's power." Yuan Tan snorted coldly, but he had already explained clearly the plans in the hearts of all the tribes in western Liaoning. clearly.

"For the current plan, it seems that we can only ask for help from Gongsundu in the west of Liaoxi. As long as we explain the advantages and disadvantages to him, Gongsundu will agree to deal with Lu Bu with us. As for the Xianbei people, the Tuoba clan is now wanting Unify Xianbei, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the affairs of Youzhou for a while." Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Feng Ji nodded, then said with a frown.

"People who are not of our race must have a different heart. We can't pin our hopes on foreigners. We need to ask you to go to Gongsundu's side. If you can invite Gongsundu to come to support, our army will be very famous Shock." Yuan Tan nodded for a while, and then made up his mind and said.

But he said that Fengji came to Xiangping, Liaodong to meet Gongsundu. Gongsundu knew that Yuan Tan was now in charge of Beiping, so he hurriedly called all the generals to discuss and said: "Yuan Shao was defeated and died. Now his son Yuan Xi has surrendered and Lu Bu was appointed as the emperor by Lu Bu." The king of Xindu, Yuan Tan came to Beiping and was my neighbor, and sent Fengji to see me, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"General Qi, Yuan Tan is now at the end of his rope and wants to drag us to help him deal with Lu Bu. If Lu Bu is angered and turned on us, wouldn't our Xiangping face disaster?" Hearing Gongsun Du's inquiry, Liu Yi on the side stood up, bowed to Gongsun Du and said.

"My lord, Lv Bu's army invaded Hebei, and now all the land of Hebei is in Lv Bu's hands, only the two counties of Beiping and Xiangping have not been captured. If we don't cooperate with Yuan Tan, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back at all." Yang Yi on the other side spoke at this moment, full of worries about Lu Bu's arrival.

"Uh, what you both said makes sense, but how do we know Lu Bu's attitude now, and how do we know whether Lu Bu will send troops to attack us?" After hearing what the two said, Gongsun Du hesitated even more. The situation is getting more and more uncertain.

"My lord, don't be afraid to meet Fengji first, ask about Lu Bu's situation, and then make a decision. If you want to come to Yuan Shao to fight against Lu Bu for many years, Feng Ji should know Lu Bu very well." Seeing that everyone was hesitant, At this time, Li Min stood up and said to everyone.

"Alright, let's meet Feng Ji first to see what he has to say, and then it's not too late to decide what to do." After a while, Gongsun Du finally nodded in agreement with Li Min's proposal.

"Feng Ji met the Lord of Xiangping under Yuan Tan's tent in Xiabeiping." When he came to Gongsun Du, Feng Ji bowed first and then said.

"Fengji, you are not serving your lord in Beiping, but you came to Xiangping, what's the matter?" Although he had already guessed Fengji's purpose, Gongsun Du still asked.

"I'm coming down to see General Gongsun, and ask when General Gongsun plans to surrender to Lu Bu?" Seeing Gongsun Du's question, Feng Ji asked with a slight smile.

"Hmph, my lord lives freely in Xiangping, why did he surrender to Lu Bu? What does the matter between you and Lu Bu have to do with us?" Hearing Feng Ji's words, Liu Yi said.

"Hahaha, the general is a subject of the great man, and Lu Bu claims to be the regent of the great man. Everyone knows that he wants to annex the heart of the great man. The general actually said that Lu Bu's going north to capture Hebei has nothing to do with Xiangping. The general is so naive. Did the general think that After Lu Bu takes Beiping, will he let Xiangping go?" Hearing Liu Yi's words, Feng Ji laughed out loud, obviously Liu Yi's words were too naive, how could he justify such a resourceful person like Feng Ji.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" Gongsun Du asked at this time.

"Lü Bu sent troops from Luoyang and came on an expedition. Although Gao Shun's Jizhou soldiers and horses assisted, the cold weather in the north was not something the soldiers of the Central Plains could bear. As long as we persisted for a while, when winter came, Lu Bu would definitely lead his troops back. In this way, the north belongs to the general and my lord, I wonder if the general is interested, or is he planning to stay in Xiangping and wait for Lv Bu's army to kill him?" Seeing that Gongsun Du finally asked, Feng Ji's face darkened, and he said solemnly Said.

"Sir, although your plan is good, Lu Bu's soldiers from the Central Plains are really hard to withstand the cold in the north, but Gao Shun's Bingzhou soldiers are Bingzhou soldiers, and they are not afraid of the cold in the north. I wonder how the general plans to deal with it?" At that time, Li Min who was on the side also spoke, and asked Feng Ji.

"Haha, although my lord Yuan Tan is not talented, the former lord Yuan Shao's foundation will never be easily handed over to Lu Bu. The general has lived in Xiangping for a long time, and he no longer has the determination to fight on the battlefield and win the world. Why don't you just surrender to Lu Bu? , to seek an official position so that I can end my life." Regarding Li Min's question, Feng Ji said with a smile this time.But then Feng Ji turned his head to look at Gongsun Du in the middle and said, "I don't know if General Gongsun is going to take any position under Lu Bu? Lu Bu's surname is named king, and the eight kings have already been named, but they don't have the title of general." , it seems that the general can only be inferior to others and take up other official positions."

"Hmph, how could a certain family be willing to be inferior to others." Enraged by Fengji's words, Gongsun Du immediately stood up and ordered to the surrounding generals: "Everyone, I have made a decision. And go to Beiping to help General Yuan Tan, if Lu Bu dares to attack, we will fight him bloody to the end, this matter is decided here, no one can say anything."

"Yes." Seeing that Gongsun Du had already made up his mind, everyone quickly agreed.As for whether Gongsun Du was moved by Feng Ji's words, or because he was willing to send troops to Beiping because of the plan he had decided earlier, only Gongsun Du knew in his heart.

At the same time, when the news reached Xindu, Lu Bu asked everyone for advice: "Now that Gongsun Du is sending troops to Beiping, what should we do?"

"My lord, General Gao Shun's troops are currently stationed in Youzhou. I'm afraid they won't be able to spare any troops to attack Beiping. If my lord wants to send troops to Peiping, I'm afraid they will have to send troops from Jizhou." Hearing Lu Bu's question, Cheng Yu stood up. Come out and say.

"My lord, Yuan Tan and Gongsun Du are just young people, so there is no need for the lord to go out in person. Since I followed the lord, I have not made much credit. I feel very ashamed. I will send troops to Beiping this time, please ask the lord." Let me go, if I can't win Beiping, I am willing to come and see you." At this time, Zhang He suddenly stood up and said, after Zhang He, Gao Lan and others are also ready to move, but fortunately, they have self-knowledge and know that they can rely on themselves. Lu Bu will not hand over the soldiers and horses to his command.
