After Guan Yu and Zhang Liao dropped their weapons, they both urged their horses to retreat and at the same time, cupped their fists and bowed to each other gracefully.

Guan Yu had always thought highly of himself, and the only person he had to be wary of was Lv Bu. Now that he had fought with Zhang Liao, he realised that's martial arts was actually weaker than his own, and he immediately felt sorry for him.

Guan Yu became angry: "I do not dare to accept Wen Hou's appreciation! The three of us have been sworn brothers for many years, and the two of us have become one. Yi De can't win against Wen Hou because his skills are inferior to her, so I will definitely not complain to Wen Hou in the slightest! But Wen Hou should not have shamed Yi De with his words, even my brother, Xuzhou Mu Liu Xuande had never humiliated Yi De with his words! Although I am not talented, I am willing to learn a few moves from Wen Hou, if I am lucky enough to win in just one and half moves, I hope that Wen Hou will take back what she said just now and apologize to Yi De! "

Lv Bu was startled, but immediately became furious. He was courteous to Guan Yu because he was worthy of being respected, and also mainly because of Liu Bei. Then what kind of thing was Ringeye Man Zhang Fei, that was, worthy of him apologizing to him? Since Guan Yu doesn't know how to appreciate favors, then I shall teach this fellow a lesson and let him know that I, Lv Fengxian, am a person who only knows how to be soft but not hard, and definitely won't accept other people's coercion!

When Chen Gong and Jian Yong saw that Lv Bu had finally made his move and stopped the battle between Guan Yu and himself with a single move, the two of them felt relieved. They did not expect that Lv Bu and Guan Yu would become so hostile in the blink of an eye, as if they would start fighting in the next moment.

Lv Bu spurred his horse forward a few steps, and used his ancient halberd to pick up Guan Yu's blade that was dropped on the ground, and threw it towards Guan Yu with a hu la sound, and said coldly: "Since you want to seek humiliation for yourself, then this marquis will grant your wish! "Come on!"

With a groan, Guan Yu used his hands to catch the blade, skillfully drawing the blade's edge, preparing to rush towards Lv Bu with the horse as fast as he could.

Lv Bu sneered, then spurred his horse and rushed forward.

Jian Yong anxiously shouted: "Calm down Wen Hou! Calm your anger! Wen Hou understood clearly that the intention of the General Guan was only to protect the General Zhang, not to become enemies with Wen Hou! I hope that Wen Hou can give my master some face and let this matter rest? "

"My lord, please stop!" Chen Gong also anxiously shouted loudly: "General Guan is an emissary sent by Xuan De. Even if his words are lost for a moment, how can your esteemed lord face him with swords and spears? This was not the way to treat a guest! Furthermore, General Guan and Wen Yuan just had a fight, so if Master insists on fighting with General Guan, isn't that just taking advantage of the situation? "

Lv Bu scoffed at Jian Yong's words. Although I can temporarily live with him, I can't let him be easily humiliated. What's the use of Liu Xuande's face! However, after hearing Chen Gong's words, she had a deep understanding of it. Guan Yu had just fought with Zhang Liao, so even if he defeated Guan Yu easily, he would still not win! Immediately lifting up the reins, the red rabbit horse obediently stopped.

At this time, Jian Yong rushed forward quickly and pulled the reins of Guan Yu's war horse, saying softly: "I hope that General Guan will remember this lord's request, and not let this great matter go to waste!"

Guan Yu groaned, he glared at Lv Bu fiercely, and his expression was filled with hesitation.

"Second Brother!" Zhang Fei shouted, spurring his horse to run over and clasp his fists to Guan Yu: "Second brother's protection junior is extremely grateful, but this matter does not require second brother to take action, when the time comes, junior will definitely defeat Lv Fengxian personally!"

Lv Bu laughed, his expression filled with contempt, but he did not open his mouth to ridicule Zhang Fei. Even if he despised Zhang Fei, the other party's method of 'taking advantage of the situation to get back at him' suited his intentions very well, so he forced himself to give Zhang Fei face.

Guan Yu is a prideful person, but he was not as reckless as Zhang Fei. He was very clear that he was not Lv Bu's match at the moment, and the reason why he was so unyielding earlier, was because he truly wanted to help Zhang Fei earn some face and return, and also because he purposely mentioned Liu Bei's position, so that he could tell Lv Bu, that even if you are the world's strongest general, you are now subordinate to my elder brother Liu Xuande. You are still considered my elder brother's subordinate, so how can I, Guan Yunchang, fear you! At this moment, Zhang Fei also opened his mouth to speak up to stop Zhang Fei, but of course Guan Yu wouldn't just stand there and let him off scot-free. He immediately comforted Zhang Fei a bit, ignored Lv Bu and Chen Gong, and only nodded towards Zhang Liao before leaving the arena with him.

"Wen Hou, Brother Gong Tai, I will take my leave too!" Jian Yong cupped his hands and quickly followed after Guan Yu.

"The erector is going too far!" After Guan Yu and the other two left, Lv Bu bellowed angrily and threw the ancient halberd in his hand forward, piercing through the target that was dozens of steps away.

Chen Gong advised: "Master, please calm your anger. That Zhang Yide is just a boorish fellow. That Guan Yunchang was only offensive in words for a moment, it's not worth Master to brood over! "

Zhang Liao also spoke in a low voice to advise them: "Feng Xian, what Mr. Gong Tai has said is extremely true, since we do not have the strength to turn hostile with Liu Xuande, we should just endure for now!"

Lv Bu sighed, and said: "You two think that I am only infuriated because of Guan Yunchang's words? You think I, Lv Bu, am unstoppable under the heavens, yet have less than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and still have to endure and live under someone else's roof?

Chen Gong looked in the direction of the Xuzhou, and said with a sneer: "Master does not need to worry, a great opportunity is about to come.

Lv Bu casually asked: "What brilliant plan does Gong Tai have?"

Chen Gong looked around, and shook his head: "This is not a place to talk, Master, please come in and have a chat."

Lv Bu nodded his head, he jumped down from the horse and passed the reins to one of the guards, and then walked over to the big tent with Chen Gong and Zhang Liao.

After entering the big tent and the three of them sat down, Lv Bu once again impatiently asked Chen Gong what method he had to get his own land.

Chen Gong did not reply, but instead asked with a sinking voice, "Last time, when I was chatting with Master, this subordinate asked Master if you still had the heart to contend for hegemony. At that time, Master shook his head and denied it. Now, this subordinate once again asks if Master really has no desire to rule the world and just wants to have his own foundation so that he can live peacefully with his relatives and friends? "

Lv Bu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I currently do not have any thoughts of seizing control of the world, I just do not know what the future holds, and do not want to die from my words!"

"Your subordinate knew it would be like this!" Chen Gong shook his head with a bitter smile and said softly, "Master knows that repeating your thoughts is the way to cause trouble! Young Master must have also seen that Gongsun Zanfuzi was the strongest out of all the dukes under the heavens right now, followed by Yuan Benchu. Liu Xuande and Yuan Shu's side was nothing to fear, the outcome of this battle between the Jizhou s could be said to determine the direction of the world in the future! If Gongsun Zanfuzi won, he would be able to control more than half of the Northern Lands, and it would be enough to control more than half of the Great Han Dynasty! Furthermore, Cao Mengde had returned with a miserable defeat. The Yanzhou was in a state of chaos, as long as Gongsun Zanfuzi was willing, he could take down the Yanzhou anytime! Once the Yanzhou is also in Gongsun Zanfuzi's hands, other than the ones who attack Li Que in the Western Pass, the most likely choice for them to do so would be to attack the Xuzhou from the south. At that time, would Master think that even if you and Liu Xuande sincerely cooperate, they would be able to defend against hundreds of thousands of army of Youzhou? "

Lv Bu sighed: "Even though I don't want to admit it, but I have no choice but to admit it, Gongsun Zan's strength is definitely a hundred times mine, and Gongsun Xu's brat is indeed not bad, in some aspects, he even far surpasses Gongsun Zan. It is said that the Youzhou's current wealth is all due to that brat! Once Yuan Benchu is defeated, unless other people work together, it will be hard to stop him! "

Chen Gong stroked his beard, and asked while sneering: "Then, Master thinks that Liu Xuande is someone who can sincerely submit?"

Lv Bu coldly snorted, "Is Gong Tai joking? Liu Xuande was a loyal traitor, and was good at flowery speech, which was why he had tricked old man Tao Qian into giving him the Xuzhou, if not he would not have a place to stand! [How can I sincerely submit to such a man?] If there is the chance, I will definitely attack the Xuzhou and replace it with the Xuzhou! "

"We'll talk about the matter of attacking the Xuzhou later." Chen Gong waved his hands, and asked: "Does Master think that Yuan Benchu is wise?"

Lv Bu said in a disdainful manner, "Yuan Shao possesses two hundred thousand soldiers who were riding on a large piece of land, yet was defeated by Gongsun Zan in succession. If this person can be called the Lord, would there still be disrespectful people in this world? "

Chen Gong also laughed along, and asked: "So what if you're someone like Liu Biao?"

This time, Lv Bu laughed in disdain, not bothering to answer.

"It seems like the lord has seen through the situation. This subordinate doesn't need to say anything more!" Chen Gong nodded his head in gratification, and then said with a stern expression: "In this way, I will only have two choices. First, I will seek Gongsun Zan's help at the right time, and secondly, take advantage of the time Liu Xuande is preparing to save Yuan Shao, and look for an opportunity to snatch the Xuzhou! The former can protect the patriarch's family members and the rest of the families, but the main guild will completely lose the chance to contend for hegemony over the whole world. The latter can control one side, but once Gongsun Zan's army attacks, it will be difficult for the main guild leader to defend the Xuzhou with his strength. If we say something unlucky, when the main guild dies in battle or is forced to surrender, the main guild will not have a good ending for the people who follow the main guild! "

"Gong Tai!" Lv Bu unhappily cried out, and said in a muffled voice: "Just tell me straight:" Right now, the best choice I have was to go towards Gongsun Zan, why do I have to go around in circles like this! It's just that Gongsun Zan is also a tiger wolf, can he really hold me, Lv Bu? "

Chen Gong smiled: "Master might not know, but today, Gongsun Xu is able to make half of the decisions regarding matters of Youzhou. This guy is cunning, but the rewards and penalties are clear, the killing is decisive, and he also values friendship greatly. His reputation and prestige are not inferior to Gongsun Zan's! If I can meet Gongsun Xu once, and get a guarantee from him, I won't have to worry about anything anymore! "

"What does Wen Yuan think?" Lv Bu thought for a while, then turned and asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao said indifferently: "Does Feng Xian still remember the oath we made when we joined the army?"

"Of course!" Lv Bu nodded his head, and said respectfully: "Back then, Hu Lu frequently entered Kou Yan Province, and I was filled with unspeakable suffering. In a fit of anger, I joined the army, and made a vow that in the future, I would slaughter Hu Lu into a river of blood, so that he would never dare to come to Nan Gong Gu's side. That Gongsun Xu has done something that we failed to do, he already possesses the qualifications for us to personally meet him! Gong Tai, you can write a letter to Gongsun Xu in my name and see how he responds before making your plans! "

Chen Gong nodded his head and immediately began writing.
