Chapter 63, Retreating to Advance

A few days later, Ding Yuan took the initiative to enter the city and came to Liu Bei's Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.

"I am willing to hand over my military power."

"Brother Jianyang, why are you doing this!"

Liu Bei pretended to be shocked, stepped forward to help Ding Yuan, who was half kneeling on the ground, and then said: "The fact of Ding Tong was an accident. My original intention was to reorganize the three armies. I didn't expect Xun Yu to be so hasty. I will definitely reprimand him."

To him."

Ding Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "Ding Tong disobeyed orders and deserved his death. The official has no objection. When Zhang Shijun asked me to coordinate the three armies, it was because the official was once a general and was good at commanding troops."

"Absolutely not. Brother Jianyang has made outstanding achievements. How can I take away your military power? The fact of Ding Tong was an accident."

"Your Majesty is also a general who is good at fighting. Now that you are here, I should hand over my military power due to emotion and reason. Please don't refuse again, otherwise I will have no choice but to resign from the imperial court."

"That's... well, since Brother Jianyang's intention is this, I have to be respectful rather than obey. However, from now on, Brother Jianyang still needs to wear armor and go into battle to be able to intimidate everyone in the world."

"Whenever you have an assignment, your general will ride on the horse and behind him, and he will never refuse."

Both of them are playing roles that are completely different from their inner feelings, and they both clearly know that the other is playing, but they both have a tacit understanding without breaking it.

"Since there is nothing to do, I will resign."

After Ding Yuan left, Liu Bei said to himself: "Is this showing weakness to the enemy, or is it retreating in order to advance?"

"Maybe he is sincerely delegating power, maybe... this is the calm before the storm." Guo Jia walked out of the side door.

Liu Bei nodded and said thoughtfully: "Feng Xiao thinks that if Ding Jianyang intends to strike back, what will he do?"

They always think about failure before talking about victory. At this critical moment, they have to prepare for the worst.

It would be best if Ding Yuan sincerely delegates power. If not, then you must consider in advance what actions he may make.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "It is difficult to determine this matter, but from what I can see, if Ding Yuan wants to fight against the lord, he can only resort to external forces."

Liu Bei nodded in agreement: "Yes, and I believe he will take action soon."

Now that the strength of both parties has reversed, and he is the leader of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan will never openly oppose him.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"My lord is wise."

At this moment, Ding Yuan was like a desperate woman who was forced into a corner. She had to either surrender or fight to the death, and she had to do it quickly.

Because he has already handed over military power, if it takes too long and Liu Bei is asked to replace his confidants in the army one by one, then no matter how many plans he makes, it will be useless.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and then asked: "What happened to Lu Bu?"

He has not forgotten this secret person, and this person may be the key figure in killing Ding Yuan in the end.

Wen Hou~

Liu Bei's mood was a little complicated, and the grudges and grudges from his previous life came to mind again.

Regardless of the facts, Lu Bu's bravery is indeed unparalleled in the world. This is not only reflected in his martial arts, but also his ability to command troops cannot be underestimated, especially when he leads the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

It can be said that Lu Bu lost to Cao Cao because of his strategy, but he never lost in the frontal battlefield and even had the upper hand many times. Otherwise, he would not have been in a stalemate with Cao Cao in Yanzhou for nearly two years.

After being able to fight Cao Cao to this extent, would anyone still think that he is not good at leading troops?

Guo Jia responded: "Jian Yong has already gone to do it. I believe it won't take long for the results to come out."

Liu Bei couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and asked: "Why is it Xianhe again..." This friend of his is really dedicated to meritorious service. Maybe he should be happy to have such a diligent minister.

Guo Jia spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face.

"Xianhe claimed that Jia only needs to be in charge of planning matters, and debating is his strength."

"Forget it, just leave it to him. Maybe with his sharp tongue, he can really convince Lu Fengxian."

Liu Bei was not worried that Lu Bu would attack Jian Yong. The worst outcome would be failure. And according to his understanding of Lu Bu, this man was by no means a die-hard loyalist and would not cut off his retreat.

What worries him is whether Lu Bu can be used!

Maybe you can try it.

However, he cannot be recognized as his adopted son.

——

Jian Yong hovered near Lu Bu's mansion for several days, but could not wait for him to come back, which puzzled him.

He obviously has a lovely wife at home, why would he choose to live in a military camp?

Could it be that the husband and wife are at odds?

Or was Lu Bu's wife born ugly?

... This is an injustice to Fengxian. Living in the military camp was not what he wanted. It was actually Ding Yuan who was being unkind.

Call...

At this moment, several horses rode through the streets and finally stopped in front of Lu's house.

Lu Bu got off his horse and walked into the house with a stern look on his face.

"What a warrior!"

In the teahouse, Jian Yong was in a daze. This man was indeed the tallest person he had ever seen in his life. He was both tough and handsome at the same time, making him a little jealous even as a scholar.

Let's put it this way, Lu Bu is as handsome as Zhang Fei and Guo Jiazhi. He is slightly taller than the second master, which is breathtaking.

Lu Bu's house is not big, nor can it be called luxurious, but with the woman's careful care, it is neat and tidy, and can be considered meticulous.

When Lu Bu's wife Yan heard that her husband was back, she was so happy that she went out to greet her without caring about her sewing work.

"Madam, I'm back." Lu Bu was also homesick. If he didn't care about his demeanor, he would almost want to run away.

However, due to his height advantage, his pace was also surprisingly fast, and he soon reached the backyard.

"Why did it take so long for your husband to come back?" Mrs. Yan was happy in her heart, but there was a look of resentment on her face, as if she was complaining that her husband didn't miss her in his heart.

Lu Bu had been holding back for a few days in the military camp. When he saw the tender eyes, he couldn't hold back anymore and couldn't wait to show his invincible side on the battlefield.

He strode forward.

"We are busy with affairs in the military, please let me explain in detail to my wife."

How is this the way to say something?

Yan was ashamed and happy, with some expectations in her heart, but she resisted and said: "Husband, it's still daytime now!"

How could Lu Bu listen? He fired his bow without turning back.

As soon as the two entered the house, they heard soldiers coming to report.

"Sir, there is a man who calls himself [Don't Drive Engagement] and wants to see you."

It came at a somewhat untimely time.

"not see!!!"

Lu Bu was like a furious tiger at this time, and his deep voice startled the soldiers outside and Yan next to him.

Although she complained in her heart that the other person came at the wrong time, Yan still advised: "Husband, please don't act on your own initiative. Since a colleague comes to see you, there must be something important."

She hesitated for a moment, then said with a blushing face: "Husband, why don't you go first, I'll be waiting for you."

Lu Bu also calmed down at this time. Don't worry about it. Is this Liu Zhoumu's person?

What are you looking for him for?

"Ma'am, wait for me for a moment!"
