EBE Chapter 192 Cao Cao's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! Is Lü Bu planning to defect to Yuan Shao?
Chapter 192 Cao Cao's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! Is Lü Bu planning to defect to Yuan Shao?
Outside Xuchang City
Lu Lingqi looked at the newly trained Bingzhou wolf cavalry under her command, her face full of enthusiasm.
Because Cao Cao's camp had a limited number of warhorses, they also had to be distributed among the Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
After two rounds of horse allocation, Lü Lingqi only received a little over three thousand warhorses, and had to keep several hundred as reserves.
But these three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry gave Lü Lingqi hope of beating her scumbag father!
Zhang Liao arrived on horseback from not far away.
Lü Lingqi greeted them:
"Uncle Wenyuan, Uncle Wenyuan, come and see how my training is going."
Zhang Liao smiled as he approached Lü Lingqi's side.
Seeing Lü Lingqi's meticulous demeanor and flawless training methods, Zhang Liao nodded.
If Lü Lingqi weren't a woman, she would definitely have been groomed by Lü Bu to be his successor.
Unfortunately, Lü Bu didn't think much of Lü Lingqi.
And this daughter whom he looked down upon has now trained a Bingzhou wolf cavalry for Cao Cao's camp!
Given time, beating up my scumbag father on the battlefield will definitely not be a dream.
"By the way, Lingqi, the Commandant of the Guards asked me to ask you if you want to go home for lunch today."
Lu Lingqi's pretty face flushed slightly.
I absolutely cannot go back for lunch.
Otherwise, if someone gets interested, they might not be able to get back in the afternoon.
But if we don't go back...
They'll probably be subjected to severe torture tonight!
Alright, alright, let's skip half a day of training today and consider it a half-day break for my Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
Speaking of which, don't underestimate Su Yu.
Under the tutelage of Han Dai and Lü Lingqi, Su Yu now possesses a certain level of self-defense ability.
It should be more than capable of dealing with three or four ordinary soldiers on the battlefield.
In addition, he obtained some ancient imperial prescriptions, making him extremely healthy.
Of course, they are robust here.
It doesn't just refer to physical strength; it also refers to vitality and spirit.
Other than that.
After transmigrating to the late Han Dynasty, I didn't feel anything at first.
However, as time went on, Su Yu noticed that his mental and physical condition was much better than that of ordinary people, which might be the hidden benefit of being a transmigrator.
(There will be no system, and it won't take a fantasy route, so you can watch with peace of mind.)
……
Yuzhou
Runan City
Lu Bu lay on the bed, raised a huge wine jug, and poured large gulps of wine into his mouth.
To be precise, it was forced drinking.
"Pfft!"
The wooden door was opened by Chen Gong and several of his personal guards.
"My lord, why are you drinking again?"
Chen Gong said angrily, "He is so unambitious."
Lu Bu, however, nonchalantly waved his other hand, which wasn't holding the wine jug.
"Gongtai, if we don't drink, what's the point of living?"
Chen Gong was so angry that his veins bulged.
Ever since Wang Ruohua went to Bingzhou to seek refuge with his cousin Wang Ling, and Zhang Liao betrayed him and joined Cao Cao, Lü Bu seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and never showed any of his former vitality again.
Now, under Yuan Shu's command, Lü Bu has been reduced to a laborer, taking it one day at a time.
Chen Gong believes.
If Lü Bu continues down this path...
What awaits him is certain destruction!
So what if there are setbacks?
Who hasn't experienced setbacks?
Look at Liu Bei next door.
When Xuzhou was lost, a bunch of his subordinates died, and his wife ran away with Cao Cao. Overnight, he went from being the ruler of Xuzhou to a commander with no troops left.
And yet, they're still alive and well, aren't they?
I heard that recently, Liu Bei also wanted to try to establish a base in Xinye and Fancheng, and volunteered to help Liu Biao retake Nanyang!
Chen Gong was too embarrassed to expose Liu Bei.
Is that loyalty to Liu Biao?
It's obvious that he wants to use Xinye and Fancheng as a base to start his own business, right?
Look at Liu Bei, then look at Lü Bu.
Why can't we learn from Liu Bei's spirit in adversity?
But soon, before Chen Gong could even begin to persuade Lü Bu, things took a turn for the worse.
Ji Ling, acting on Yuan Shu's orders, arrived outside Lü Bu's house.
"General Lü, my lord requests your presence for a meeting."
Lu Bu was already slightly drunk.
Upon hearing Ji Ling's words, a flash of anger crossed his face.
Besides a series of setbacks, Lü Bu's despondency stemmed from other reasons as well.
Yuan Shu's wariness of him was also an objective reason that cannot be ignored.
Yuan Shu wasn't stupid; how could he truly trust Lü Bu, a "father-killer," to be trusted?
It's like raising hungry wolves; just make sure Lü Bu and the few remaining Bingzhou soldiers under his command don't starve to death.
Thinking of Yuan Shu's various attitudes towards him after arriving in Runan, Lü Bu angrily said to Ji Ling:
"Tell your lord to wait there patiently."
"I will go to him after I wake up."
Ji Ling also expressed his displeasure:
"What do you mean by that, General Lü?"
"Could it be that someone of my lord's noble status has to wait for you to sober up before he can see you?"
"Don't forget, if it weren't for my lord taking you in, you would be nothing more than a stray dog!"
As Yuan Shu's number one fan, Ji Ling's admiration for Yuan Shu far surpasses that of others.
Already prejudiced against Lü Bu, he naturally wouldn't give Lü Bu a kind look when he saw Lü Bu's arrogance.
But Lü Bu was hardly a good-tempered person.
Ji Ling's words completely ignited Lu Bu's anger, and he flew into a rage!
"Snapped!"
Lu Bu jumped off the bed and slapped Ji Ling on the head.
Lu Bu didn't hold back at all when he slapped him.
Ji Ling was so dizzy from the beating that she saw stars.
If he weren't physically strong, that slap alone could have splattered his brains out!
However, Lü Bu still hadn't gotten over his anger.
Enraged, he picked up the halberd hanging to the side and was about to stab Ji Ling in the chest!
"My lord, you mustn't!!!"
Chen Gong shouted loudly and pulled and tugged, barely managing to stop Lü Bu's murderous intent towards Ji Ling.
Even so, the halberd was only a fraction of a centimeter away from Ji Ling's chest.
If it had moved even a fraction of a second further, Ji Ling would have been killed!
"You...you...you!"
Ji Ling fled in panic, his eyes filled with resentment towards Lü Bu.
As the undisputed number one general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling's martial arts skills were actually quite decent.
He is roughly at the level of a first-class general, which is the level of Hua Xiong.
But who was Lü Bu?
Even if he was a little drunk, he was still at the pinnacle of his time.
Killing Ji Ling would be incredibly easy.
"My lord, let's go quickly."
"Having offended Ji Ling, it will be even more difficult for me to continue serving under Yuan Shu."
Chen Gong rubbed his head, which was throbbing with pain.
In all the vastness of the world, there was no place left for Lü Bu to hide.
Ultimately, it was Lü Bu who messed things up.
If back when they were still in Chang'an, they hadn't listened to Wang Yun's nonsense, but instead followed Chen Gong's instructions throughout.
Between Lü Bu and Li Jue, Guo Si, and others, the outcome is still uncertain!
"Gongtai, now that we've left Yuan Shu, where should we go?"
A look of confusion appeared in Lü Bu's eyes.
Today, he has only a little over two thousand subordinates left.
The only remaining generals are Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, all third-rate military commanders.
Even Wang Ruohua ran away.
Lu Bu truly didn't know where he should go to develop his career.
A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Gong's eyes.
"My lord, since Yuan Gonglu cannot tolerate us, then we will go and surrender to Yuan Benchu!"
"At least, with your lord's martial arts skills, Yuan Shao will not refuse to accept you."
Lü Bu's face instantly filled with sorrow.
What difference is there between him now and a street performer?
However, street performers break stones on their chests; he was simply performing martial arts.
