Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 478 The Good Husband

Liu Xie had to admit that God is actually very fair.After it gives a person a talent superior to ordinary people, it will inevitably give him a character that does not blend in with the world.Therefore, geniuses are actually just like giant pandas, precious and scarce, and need to be cared for carefully.

For example, Lu Bu, in the turbulent times of the late Han Dynasty, possessed unmatched military power and a good IQ in the world, and even, sometimes, his insight was amazing.Leaving Dong Zhuo's character aside, when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing to fight fiercely with the scholar-bureaucrats, it was obvious that he had the image of helping the Han Dynasty and being the reincarnated Duke of Zhou.

At that time, Lu Bu's godfather, Ding Yuan, was a fool who was ignorant of current affairs and went against the trend.Whether it is said that Lu Bu abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, or that he went away lightly, anyway, regardless of the historical perspective of taking the effect as the cause, what he did at the time was undoubtedly very wise.Even if he joined Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo later, Lu Bu followed the trend.

But also because Lu Bu is so good, he must bear some destined flaws.

The flaw in his character is that he has a very low tolerance for failure.Because of his powerful force, when he solves problems, he tends to use the most efficient and quickest way. After he succeeds, he thinks too much of himself and doesn't take anyone seriously.But once he encounters a failure, the strong sense of frustration in his heart will break out, making him either want to escape or find excuses to excuse himself and blame others.

This is really not to blame for Lu Bu, judging from his life, he was a half-breed who was discriminated against in the frontier, and he finally came to the fore by virtue of his bravery.But the result in exchange is that at the peak of his life, he was still cast aside as a common man.

In addition, after experiencing countless unpredictable, cruel and bloody power struggles, Lu Bu's vision and thinking still can't catch up with the pulse of this era and the rules of the game, making his usual methods useless in front of his opponents.Over time, no matter how strong people are, they will begin to doubt life.

With such a character, when he was guarding Hanoi, he could still be looked up to as an outsider, but once he truly took over Yanzhou independently, his character flaws were immediately exposed.

It's just that Liu Xie still doesn't know how this kind of personality defect caused Yanzhou to become chaotic like this, as if a chain reaction had been triggered!
"Since the defeat of Dongping and Chengshi, I already know that you have been devastated, and I don't want to mention these two incidents. I just want to know, after these two incidents, who did you hand over Yanzhou's government affairs and military affairs?" Liu Xie sighed With a sigh of relief, he figured out that Lu Bu was overwhelmed, and the most fundamental reason was his improper employment, and his anger subsided a little.

The two defeats he mentioned in his mouth both happened in the spring of the second year of Zhongping.Moreover, judging from Lu Bu's angry and unwilling expression, Liu Xie's estimation was correct. It was these two defeats that made a worldly tiger like Lu Bu decadent and turned into a drunk cat.

The Battle of Dongping was actually a counterattack organized by Cao Cao this year.After the new year, Yuan Shao sent Zang Hong to assist Cao Cao in attacking Yanzhou.His wishful thinking originally planned to use Cao Cao to contain Lu Bu's main force, and Zang Hong took the opportunity to plunder the fruits of victory and nibble at the northern counties of Yanzhou.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao made a high-level move and turned against the guest. Through a series of operations of Jing'an Cao, the information was successfully leaked. After hearing the news, Lu Bu immediately focused his attention on Zang Hong.

Afterwards, Lu Bu personally led the army to go out, defeated Zang Hong near Dongwuyang, and beheaded more than [-] people.But Cao Cao took the opportunity to come out with all his strength, defeated Wei Xu, and captured Dongping Kingdom.

Cao Cao, who had captured Dongping, continued to attack the southwest quickly without stopping, and attacked Dingtao, the prefecture of Jiyin County.At that time, Chen Gong, the prefect of Jiyin County, did not dare to fight, but insisted on Dingtao.Cao Cao tricked Chen Gong into thinking that Lv Bu's reinforcements had arrived. When he left the city to meet him, Cao's troops came out in ambush and captured Dingtao.Chen Gong desperately broke through the bloody road and retreated to Puyang, but the troops lost nine out of ten, and Jiyin County fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

Undoubtedly, Cao Cao dealt a heavy blow to Lu Bu at the beginning of the second year of Zhongping after receiving Yuan Shao's help and integrating the hearts of the people in this battle.

If it was just this one defeat, Lu Bu would not be in a slump.The next battle of Chengshi made Lu Bu feel desperate.

Chengshi County is where the Li family, a local tyrant in Yanzhou, lives, and there is a lot of grain and fodder.A plague of locusts in the first year of Zhongping left Cao Cao and Lu Bu exhausted and in a panic.In the spring of this year after the first year of Zhongping, the issue of military rations was once again on the agenda.Although Cao Cao fought a beautiful turnaround at the beginning of the year, the food shortage situation of the two families has not been alleviated.

Lu Bu suffered a small setback, but the overall situation of the two families is still a recovery battle, just like two tired boxers lying on the ground, whoever recovers first will be able to take the initiative and deal a fatal blow to the other.

Lu Bu has Li Feng, the Li family, and Cao Cao has Li Gan.So, coincidentally, when the two leaders realized that the most important thing was food, they suddenly encountered each other in Chengshi.

At that time, Cao Cao's main force was still in the middle of Dongping's advance plan, and Li Gan only brought dozens of entourages into the Cheng family to ask for food, but was bumped into by Lv Bu, who led the main force himself, and easily captured Li Gan.It was at this time that Lu Bu made the most fatal mistake.

After Li Gan was captured, Li Feng suggested not to kill him, but at least use Li Gan to blackmail the Li family.However, Li Gan was loyal to Cao Cao and cursed at Lu Bu. Lu Bu, who had already suffered a failure, was furious and stabbed Li Gan to death with a halberd.Afterwards, he regretted it, and wanted to cheat into the Cheng family to seize food and grass, but Li Ganzhi's nephew saw through the trick.

Lijiawu Fortress is indestructible, and there are arrows, lumber, rolling stones and other defenses against the enemy, which makes Bingzhou Wolf Rider helpless.After hearing the news, Cao Cao quickly mobilized troops to attack the Cheng family. Lu Bu was attacked by the enemy and could not resist. Not only did he not get the food and grass, but the hundreds of corpses of Bingzhou wolf riders left behind were defeated...

After this battle, the Cheng clan's Li family formally defected to Cao Cao for revenge.Lu Bu's forces were frustrated again and had to redeploy their strategy.He ordered Li Feng and Xue Lan to lead a small number of soldiers and horses to continue to defend Juye with difficulty to contain Cao Cao's actions;

If there is no Liu Xie crossing in history, then it will be time for Cao Cao to fight back.Judging from the various chaos in Puyang, it was really only a matter of time before Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu.

Ask yourself, if Liu Xie himself suffered such a defeat, he might not be able to resist drinking some wine to relieve his depression.However, Liu Xie also believes that he will not be reduced to the level of Lu Bu. After all, his force is limited, so he has no capital to make waves.

At this time, Liu Xie hoped that Lu Bu would say that he would hand over all the government and military affairs to Chen Gong, but he also knew that if Chen Gong was really in charge of the overall situation in Puyang, things would not be for this reason.Sure enough, Lu Bu was still drunk and said: "Since the two defeats, I have suffered a lot and have no interest in official duties, but your Majesty, don't worry, I have entrusted the official affairs of Yanzhou to the people closest to me."

Until this time, Lu Bu hadn't mentioned the man's name, and Liu Xie was so angry that he wished he could slap Lu Bu a few times: How dare you say that you won't worry me?Zhang Liao was beaten so badly that he couldn't go to battle recently, and Bingzhou Wolf Rider ran amok in Puyang, and there was no one working in the lobby. Your daughter wants to go to heaven and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, so you don't worry me? !

"Your Majesty, when Fengxian was not interested in official duties, he handed over all the official affairs of Yanzhou to my concubine. If there is any mishandling, please punish me." Just when Lu Bu was drunk and could not say anything, in the side room Suddenly a tall woman walked out.

This woman was dressed in black, about 28 or nine years old, and she had the charm of a mature woman in her gestures.Liu Xie frowned silently, but she could also see her delicate and beautiful face clearly. Although she couldn't compare with Diao Chan, who was all over the country, she was still an outstanding beauty.

However, what caught the eye was the peculiar loneliness between her brows, as if everything in the world could no longer fascinate her.

"Mother." As soon as the woman appeared, Lu Lingqi who was behind Liu Xie immediately rushed towards the woman as if she had found the chick of the mother bird.

And when Liu Xie realized that this person was Lu Bu's official wife, Yan Shi, and looked at her face that was as cold as ice, without the slightest fear or respect for him, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he suddenly understood: what the hell? It's really strange that Puyang can't be in a mess!

Lu Bu, Lu Bu, you are such a good husband!
