Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 6: Wise Lü Lingqi
Lu Bu finally accepted the advice of Military Advisor Chen and "Mr. Bai", temporarily suppressed his personal dissatisfaction, and headed east to Xuzhou!
After all, knowing that Gongsun Zan had "killed Liu Yu and took control of Youzhou", it was completely foreseeable that Yuan Shao would attack Gongsun Zan.
For Yuan Shao, in the north there was Gongsun Zan, who was good at killing Han royal family members and was cruel and stubborn. He also occupied Youzhou, an important horse-producing area of the Han Dynasty. No matter how you looked at it, attacking Gongsun Zan was more cost-effective than going to war with Cao Cao at this time!
In this way, Yuan Shao will temporarily maintain friendly relations with Cao Cao. If Lu Bu surrenders to him now, Yuan Shao will not only not accept him, but there is even a danger that he will be regarded as a token of his surrender.
In comparison, Liu Bei had just taken control of Xuzhou, a place that had been conquered by four enemies. Moreover, the fact that old man Tao Qian lived long enough to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei was all thanks to Lu Bu who defeated Cao Cao in the end!
Otherwise, Xuzhou might have been destroyed by Cao Cao earlier...
Moreover, Liu Bei claimed that he was a relative of the Han Dynasty. Now there was no reason for Liu Bei to treat Lu Bu, the "Fenwu General" who killed Dong Zhuo and supported the Han Dynasty, badly.
The only "obstacle" was that Lu Bu was still brooding over the siege he had suffered at Hulao Pass.
Now Lu Bu led the remaining 4,000 cavalrymen eastward towards Xuzhou.
Bai Tu was very nervous along the way - he had never expected to be regarded as a counselor!
Although he had the privilege of riding in a carriage, Bai Tu felt even more unsure than when he rode a "horse" before...
After all, Bai Tu knew what he was doing... a counselor? How was he a counselor? Would being able to write papers for others count?
However, Bai Tu couldn't just say that he was guessing, otherwise he might be suspected of having known the information about Youzhou a long time ago - you know such new information, and you still say you are not a traitor?
Fortunately, Chen Gong has been resting these days, so he can't find Bai Tu to "sit and discuss", otherwise he would be tested in a few moves...
"You're so smart! Here, your porridge and deer legs!" Lu Lingqi was dissatisfied and brought food to Bai Tu.
In addition to the porridge, there was also a roasted deer leg.
"Well... I can't eat so much, how about you eat some too?" Bai Tu immediately understood Lu Lingqi's thoughts.
The musk deer were brought back by the scouts. Lu Bu's army is not short of food now, but they have escaped from Yanzhou after all. It is not easy to eat meat at ordinary times. Even now these are not protected animals, and prey is not available every day.
However, given Mr. Bai's status, there was only one musk deer today, but Lu Bu still followed Diao Chan's instructions and personally cut off the two front legs of the musk deer on the left and right and sent them to Bai Tu and the sick Chen Gong.
The generals understood that the army might need a second "military advisor", but Lu Lingqi was a little unhappy...
It's not all because of Lu Lingqi's temper... As Lu Bu's only daughter, Lu Lingqi has been "fierce-minded" since she was a child, and she always wants to go to the battlefield herself. She has a temper, but she is not arrogant.
The main reason was that when Lu Lingqi approached Bai Tu privately, he had already admitted that he was very inexperienced and humbly asked him some common sense questions.
However, when Lu Lingqi mentioned this to others, no one believed that Bai Tu was really a wimp. Zhang Liao even told her that Bai Tu was just teasing her and asked her to learn some of Bai Tu's wisdom... He also said that all wise men like this!
However, Lu Lingqi insisted on her own judgment - this guy's cooking is not fake!
When Bai Tu and Lv Lingqi were sharing the deer leg, he watched Lv Lingqi tearing the meat with her silver teeth, and specifically warned her: "From now on, we will be 'having an affair'. If one day your father and your uncles think I'm not smart and want to kill me for meat, you must save me!"
"Don't worry! You are so fake and smart, but they still believe you. It is obviously their fault!" Lu Lingqi said righteously.
That’s right, Bai Tu did it on purpose.
Lv Lingqi is his last line of defense! Bai Tu has already decided - if anyone says that he is pretending to be a counselor in the future, he will cling to Lv Lingqi's thighs and insist that they are the ones who misunderstood him and that he had already told the truth... Look, how come Lingqi didn't misunderstand him? I told you but you didn't believe me, so you blame me?
Seeing that Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi had eaten about the same amount, Song Xian revved the engine behind his mecha and came to the side of the carriage. He said in a completely different manner from before, "Mr. Bai, Military Advisor Chen would like to invite you over to have a private chat."
"Oh, you are not as smart as Lingqi!" Bai Tu said to Song Xian with disappointment.
Ever since he decided to go east to join Liu Bei, Song Xian has admired Bai Tu very much, and even often hangs around him, as if he is specifically responsible for guarding Bai Tu's carriage.
Even if Ling Baitu wanted to use him as the "last line of defense", he would have no chance...
"Yes, yes, I am not as smart as Miss Lingqi!" Song Xianguang is so stupid that he has no shame in flattering others.
"Military Advisor Chen...are you okay?" Bai Tu asked.
"The doctor said that I can move around a bit," Song Xian said.
Seeing that he had no excuses, Bai Tu knew that Chen Gong must be trying to test him, so he had no choice but to go over - hoping that Chen Gong would find out that he was just a green hand, and not a bad person.
When they were about to leave, Lu Lingqi was still encouraging them from behind , "Come on! You are the worst!"
Bai Tu rolled his eyes when he heard this, but Song Xian didn't understand. What exactly did "菜" mean?
Bai Tu came to Chen Gong's carriage, which was more spacious than Bai Tu's own carriage. There were two cushions and a small table.
Seeing the cushion, Bai Tu felt some knee pain...
At this time, there were still several decades before the earliest use of Ma Zha (Hu Chuang) in the Central Plains. However, Bai Tu had seen Ma Zha in Lu Bu's army. After all, most of Lu Bu's soldiers were from Bingzhou and Liangzhou, so it was not surprising that they discovered the things that the Hu people sat on earlier.
However, Chen Gong was a scholar and an honest man, and he would not use those things.
Bai Tu also knelt down obediently, watching Chen Gong pour tea slowly - fortunately, the etiquette of drinking tea had not yet been formed at that time, and even the tea leaves were still very primitive, just like making soup, without too many requirements, so Bai Tu would not be shy.
"When Chen was ill, he never had a good night's sleep at first, but during this period... it's all thanks to Mr. Bai!" Chen Gong thanked him.
"I didn't do anything..." Bai Tu said embarrassedly.
However, Chen Gong waved his hand, signaling Bai Tu not to be modest.
In fact, it is true. Before, Chen Gong was worried about Lu Bu and his group of rough guys, and he couldn't calm down even if he rested. But after the white map appeared, he felt a little more at ease.
However, Bai Tu did not do anything, it just had a "placebo" effect.
"Mr. Bai, do you think Mr. Liu will take us in?" Chen Gong did not give Bai Tu a chance to be humble and went straight to the point.
"Of course. Xuzhou is a place where four battles are fought. Liu Bei has vision. He understands his current situation and he will not refuse for any reason." Bai Tu said.
"Then Mr. Bai , how do you think we should handle our relationship with Lord Liu?" Chen Gong obviously did not want Lu Bu to completely join Liu Bei's army.
Bai Tu felt nothing...
I can only respond casually based on what I know.
