While Chen Xi still had the mood for romance and leisure, Bingzhou had already turned into a mess. Not only was Lyu Bu fighting, Cao Cao was also engaged in battle, and so were the Qiang and Hu. To make matters worse, the opponents were not just the Xianbei, but also the Qiang and Hu.
Naturally, the Qiang and Hu were dealt with by the Qiang and Hu, while the Xianbei and Huns were handled by Cao Cao and Lyu Bu. However, it was clear that the relationship between Cao Cao and Lyu Bu was not good. After opening his heart, Lyu Bu became utterly straightforward about love and hate.
Hate is hate, dislike is dislike; he would not wrong his own people for any reason. If it ought to be done, it would be done, with no mercy!
Therefore, even after Cao Cao sent food to Lyu Bu without any discount, Lyu Bu did not show any goodwill. He only stated that as long as he lives, the Xianbei and Huns would not cross Jiuyuan. His iron-solid body was the last line of defense for Bingzhou.
