The first thousand one hundred and ninety-four chapters
"Farming? Sweeping the world? So that's the relationship?"
Lu Bu asked to himself.
"The war is in all aspects, from direct combat power to war potential, as well as related support capabilities, etc. In addition to population, the resources of your two are getting weaker and weaker, and it is strange that they are not defeated. In other words, the surrounding princes will not give you two a chance to recuperate."
Lu Bu breathed a long sigh and said, "So that's it. No wonder you said just now that the Central Plains cannot win the world. It turned out that it was because of strategic initiative. For example, after Youzhou wiped out wēixié in the north, only the west side faced the enemy. The scale and region of the war were controllable. There was a lot of time to develop production and accumulate stronger and stronger strength."
"Yes, Liu Bei from Jingzhou, Sima Fang from Guanzhong, and even Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao were actually following this path. You two are bold and arrogant and attempt to take a path of conquering people with their strength. However, this path is not easy to go! The Overlord was also defeated back then."
Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "I dare not compare myself with the overlord. At least, I don't have the ability to command the world."
Fang Zhiwen smiled and said, "You are the most important thing for people to know yourself! You will be able to win a hundred battles."
Lu Bu took a sip of wine, silently thought about everything Fang Zhiwen said, reflecting on the ups and downs and glory he had walked along, and was distracted for a moment.
I don’t know how long it took, Lu Bu was awakened by a burst of laughter from the yard. The familiar voice was his daughter, and another crisp laughter like a silver bell, probably from Xiangxiang.
Lu Bu turned his head and looked. A smile of relief and shame appeared on his face. He seemed to have not heard this laugh for a long time. Maybe he owed them too much.
Lu Bu turned around and saw Fang Zhiwen smiling at the women in the yard, with a gentleness and tranquility in his eyes.
"Originally, I thought I would have the chance to decide the outcome with Zhiwen in the future. Now it seems that there is no chance. Compared with Zhiwen, I am too far behind."
Fang Zhiwen was stunned for a moment and smiled happily, "I will decide the winner? If I fight alone on the battlefield, I will not dare to decide the winner with Fengxian. That is purely seeking death."
Lu Bu also grinned: "The meaning of Zhiwen Chinese is that you can win except fighting alone?"
"I can fight alone, and I can fight with generals. Han Sheng and Zilong may not be able to fight with you."
"I have confidence in fighting alone. Even Hansheng is the same. I can only spend some time at most."
"Haha, maybe, who knows if you haven't beaten? Maybe you'll lose your stomach because you've eaten your stomach and stepped on a stone, and your weapon is damaged!"
"Well, are you talking about this?"
"What's wrong? In fact, most battles with similar strength are determined in this situation, aren't it?"
Lu Bu smiled and shook his head. It was not completely unreasonable to say this. Fights with comparable strength are indeed very subtle and the factors that affect the outcome are indeed very subtle.
"Okay. Even if you're right, then you can be better than some other than fighting alone?"
"What does it mean? I have made sense! As for the tactical and strategic aspects, there is no need to say about strategy. Let's admit that I will lose first! Haha."
Lu Bu nodded without hesitation: "Stately, there are not as many as Zhiwen in strategy, this is a fact."
"So let me talk about it tactically. If I use the same number of soldiers to defend the city, will Fengxian be sure to capture the city I defend?"
Lu Bu thought about it carefully. Even if he counted the military advisors and other factors, he seemed to be able to take advantage of the offensive and defensive attributes. If he calculated the bonus of the city, he would have no absolute advantage at all. Moreover, Fang Zhiwen was good at defending and shooting, and had no force of several times. Lu Bu dared not say that he could defend the city below.
"cannot!"
"What about the other way around?"
"I'm afraid it can't."
"Haha, so Fengxian was defeated in the offensive and defensive battle!"
Lu Bu was dissatisfied: "Why is this? It's obviously a draw."
"Fengxian forgot that there are many generals under my command who are close to me, and Fengxian has only Wen Yuan, how can he not defeat?"
Lu Bu opened his mouth and said this, he was really defeated, and he was defeated in a mess. As long as Fang Zhiwen came out to entangle him, he would be completely defeated. This battle is really impossible to fight.
"If it's a field battle, you're sure to win."
"It's not possible! You can't smooth out the advantages of the troops. The Youzhou Tucao cavalry range is farther than your Bingzhou cavalry, and the speed is not worse than you. Moreover, if you go, you chase me. It is impossible for you to catch up with me on the Youzhou grassland, but your logistics will be cut off at any time. Even if you don't consider those, we will still be a draw in the end. Also, I have a high level of repulsion skills. I can replenish the troops from the wild monsters. Can Fengxian?"
"this"
"If we two fight on the grassland, we may be defeated in the end, because Fengxian is too simple to think about. I am very cunning and can use black tricks!"
"Uh, that's OK?"
"Of course, you can do everything you can when fighting. You can't use poisoning tricks, drive away wild monsters, dig holes and set up traps. Fengxian, you will definitely be hit by a hundred secrets, haha."
Lu Bu thought about it and shook his head with a smile. If he was competing for a fight, he was indeed no match for Fang Zhiwen. If he really fought the battle into a long battle, he would have been let down by Fang Zhiwen's secret move. However, Fang Zhiwen's statement still had loopholes, but Lu Bu was unwilling to argue. After all, a duel under many conditions was simply impossible.
"Okay, you're so good, come and have a drink."
"Haha, okay, even if you fight for wine, you may not lose to you."
"Use this? Change it to Fire Clouds to fight!"
"Forget it, your body has only been healed. I don't dare. What if there is any reason for your two ladies to tear me!"
Under the light, Lu Bu sat quietly in front of the desk. Looking at the small golden scroll on the table, which was left by Fang Zhiwen when he left, he reached out to touch it. The scroll was made of fine silk, and it felt cool and smooth, just like a woman's body.
Lu Bu raised his head and looked at the two women sitting opposite him with a burning look. He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then his eyes became firmer again.
"Honey, have you decided?" Diao Chan asked softly, with a look on her face helpless, but she was not panicked or dissatisfied.
"Um!"
"Husband."
Yan shouted, but didn't know how to continue. To be honest, her heart was also very confused. Now that the situation in Dingtao is in danger, if Lu Bu chooses to go south, it is obvious that even though Yan has nothing to complain about, as a couple living and dying together, she felt ache in her heart when she thought of the young Lu Ling.
Lu Bu glanced at the two of his closest people and suddenly laughed: "You will stay for the housekeeper this time."
"Secret home?"
Diao Chan and Yan looked at each other inexplicably, "Isn't your home in Dingtao?"
"Zhiwen said that a place where there are relatives is home. You are my only relatives, so wherever you are, your home is wherever you are."
Lu Bu's words made Diao Chan and Yan's hearts soft, and their eyes couldn't help but feel wet.
Lu Bu paused for a moment and then said, "I'm going back to Dingtao alone, you are waiting for me in Miyun. Zhiwen promised to find me a house. Of course, we bought it ourselves and it's our home. You can take care of this home well and wait for me to come back."
Diao Chan nodded, raised her head and said, "Husband, Dingtao is now in danger. Even if your husband leaves, it may not help, but will affect your reputation."
"Haha, what reputation? If I pretend that I can't see it, then it will affect my reputation. My brothers are fighting bloody battles for me and His Majesty, but I hide aside. What kind of face will I have in the future, and what kind of face will I have to go out to see people? In a hundred years, how can I have to meet my brothers back then?"
Diao Chan sighed lightly and nodded, "I understand. I and my sister will take care of the family according to my husband's wishes. Wait for my husband to come back. Please be careful. If so, if your husband sees my father, please greet him."
Lu Bu knew what Diao Chan meant. She might have wanted to persuade Wang Yun to go north to Miyun, but when she thought of Wang Yun's temperament and ambitions, she still didn't say it in the end. This greeting contained a lot of content.
"Husband, what does your husband have to say with General Zhengbei? How should I deal with it in the future?" Yan's question is very practical. Speaking of which, he is still afraid of affecting the interests of his husband. Yan is definitely a model of a good wife and mother.
"Well, before, Zhiwen and I were friends, and as for the future, I might be subordinates."
Seeing his proud husband say this, Diao Chan couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and felt wronged for Lu Bu. How proud Lu Bu is, and he is the leader of a force, but now he is going to surrender. Diao Chan is also a very proud person. She claims that she is not inferior to Zhen Jiang, Taishi Zhaorong, and Mi Zhen, but she has no chance to compete with these people. She originally hoped that her husband could make her best. Now it seems that her husband is as wronged as she is!
"I have a letter here. After I leave, you can leave it to Zhiwen."
Lu Bu pushed a letter from the desk to Yan, his eyes flashed with a faint light. Diao Chan looked carefully, but he did not see any unwillingness or grievance from it. All he had was calmness and perseverance. Diao Chan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Lord, Lu Bu rode alone and headed south on the post office. Should he intercept him?"
Fang Zhiwen looked at Shi A in surprise: "Why should he intercept him?"
"Isn't this lord letting the tiger return to the mountain?"
"Haha where do you want to go? If Feng Xian goes south, if he can turn the tide, that is his ability. If he can't, he will naturally come back because he owes that person's promise and must be fulfilled."
"That man? The emperor? Is the lord sure he can't cheer up again?"
"Shi, you underestimate the heroes of the world too much. What's the virtue of Lu Bu? He can still turn the world in this situation! Moreover, people in Dingtao City believe that Lu Bu can still turn the tide in such a situation?"
"Why do you want to fan the flames?"
"No need, why do you have to be a villain in vain? Cao Cao will do it naturally, and he must have been doing it." (To be continued...)
