Chapter 559: Xu Chu vs. Lu Bu
In Puyang City, Chen Gongzheng reported to Lu Bu the battle report he had just received: "Don't drive Li Feng to be beheaded by Cao's general Xu Chu, Xue Zhizhong was also captured and killed by Cao Cao, and now Juye and Changyi have been lost, Cao Cao takes Xu Chu Dianwei as the vanguard general, Xiahou Yuan, Zhu Linglu Zhao as the left wing, Cao Hong and Li Cheng as the right wing, Le Jin and the newly acquired Yu Ban as the rear wing, the three roads each lead 3,000 men and horses, Cao Cao himself leads 5,000 men and horses, and comes to Puyang!"
Lu Bu said angrily: "This Cao Cao, who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, escaped from my subordinates by luck last year, and is he coming to die today?"
Chen Gong persuaded: "The lord must not be careless, Cao Cao must have no fear if he dares to come again, I heard that this time he led the army to pacify the Yellow Turban He Yi and Huang Shao in the south, and robbed a lot of Yellow Turban property!"
"Well, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Hou Cheng went to the surrounding small counties to collect grain, and I went out to fight first and defeated Cao Cao's vanguard!"
Chen Gong exclaimed: "The lord can't! Now that there is no general in the city, how can the lord come out lightly? In case of change, how will we deal with ourselves?"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Isn't there you Chen Gong? What am I afraid of?" After speaking, regardless of Chen Gong's reaction, he gathered his generals and went. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Gong immediately followed, and at the same time ordered the heralds: "Quickly go out of the city to find the three generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Hou Cheng, and ask them to return to Puyang immediately to help the lord fight!"
The herald said that he had promised to go, and Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu did not mobilize the army, but only mobilized three thousand personal cavalry and the general Cheng Lian to go out of the city, so he shouted: "The lord is slow, don't you go out of the city with the two generals Song Xian and Wei Xu?"
Lu Bu raised the halberd in his hand on the Chitu horse: "Let them guard the city gate, these two guys were played around by a few Diao people in Dongjun last time, if I hadn't used them, I would have been dealt with by military law a long time ago! Doesn't letting them fight with me make me lose face?"
After speaking, Lu Bu didn't wait for Chen Gong to answer, and rode out of Puyang City with Cheng Lian's three thousand relatives.
Chen Gong looked at the sky-high smoke and dust raised by Lu Bu's army and muttered to himself: In fact, the last time Song Xian and Wei Xu encountered in Dongjun, it was not Diao Min but Cheng Yu, a strategist that Cao Cao relied on, this person not only saw through his plan to rebel against Dong'e and Fan County, but also rebelled against Zhang Miao's men and horses, and used it to defend Cangtingjin, which is the only Yellow River crossing near Puyang, and it is precisely because of the existence of this force that it is difficult for General Lu Bu's army to cross the Yellow River, speaking of which is also his own mistake!
After a long time, Song Xian and Wei Xu brought their soldiers over with their untidy clothes, and when they saw Chen Gongzheng looking at him angrily, they said curtly: "Strategist, I heard that Cao Cao is here again, why did the lord leave the city so quickly?"
Chen Gong said slightly angrily: "You haven't been following the lord for a day or two, you should know his character better than me, and now he is estimated to be out of the city for more than ten miles!"
"Ahh
"No!" Song Xian and Wei Xu actually didn't want to go out to fight, and when they saw Chen Gong's orders, they were naturally overjoyed.
These two guys, Chen Gong thought with a sigh, always thinking that General Lu Bu was invincible in the world, and he didn't think about what would happen if General Lu Bu was defeated one day.
And right now, Cao Cao is just such a person.
"Military Division!" A voice broke Chen Gong's contemplation, Chen Gong looked up and saw that it was Tian Fang, a wealthy merchant in Puyang who helped him trick Cao Cao into the city a few months ago.
"It turned out to be Mr. Tian!" Chen Gong saluted, "A few months ago, in order to capture Cao Cao alive, many of Mr. Tian's shops were destroyed by fire, Chen Gong is really ashamed!"
"Don't worry!" Tian Fang bent his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's what I should do to help General Lu Bu defend the city, I don't know if this military division can be useful to the villain?"
"How dare you bother Mr. anymore?" Chen Gong saw Tian Fang's enthusiasm, and had to politely refuse.
"Don't bother, don't bother, the villain has trained a group of family members in recent days, if the adults can trust the villain, the villain is willing to help guard the south gate!" Tian Fang said and pointed to the hundreds of people neatly arranged not far away, only to see that these people were all extraordinary, holding blades, and murderous.
Chen Gong was slightly surprised and said, "Mr. has a heart, Chen Gong has thanked the lord!"
"Hehe, I thought that the adults would dislike the villain's kindness, so there is no problem, and the villain will arrange them!" Tian Fang left with a smile.
Chen Gong didn't notice the weird smile on the corner of Tian Fang's mouth when he turned around, all he was thinking about now was the shop that Tian Fang didn't hesitate to burn down a few months ago worth at least tens of thousands of gold, such a person would never have the heart of betrayal, right?
But who can say for sure? Isn't the person who is so relied on by Cao Cao also betrayal?
A trace of bitterness flashed in Chen Gong's heart, and he said to the sergeant beside him: "Send a message to the Yin guard, let her secretly monitor Tian Fang, and if there is a slight change, kill!"
The sergeant understood what he meant, and lowered his head emphatically: "No, don't worry!"
Lu Bu went out of the city for more than 30 miles, only to see the banner of Dian Wei and Xu Chu's team, and immediately ordered his subordinates to set up their positions, and he drove a red rabbit horse carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd to gallop back and forth in front of the formation, shouting loudly: "As a pioneer, but the march is so slow, is it cowardly before the battle? If Cao Cao had cut off your heads a long time ago to correct the law and order!"
Dian Wei waved his halberd and scolded: "You guy who attacked Cao Gong secretly, see if I don't shoot you away with a halberd!"
After that, he was about to go out to compete with Lu Bu, but he was stopped by Xu Chu with his eyes: "Brother Dian Wei, don't be impatient, this Lu Bu doesn't know how powerful I am, see if I give him a dismount first!"
Dian Wei nodded: "It's okay, maybe you can kill him by surprise, and it's good to give Cao Gong Province a lot of trouble!"
Lu Bu saw a fat guy who looked three times thicker than himself coming over from the opposite side, and said disdainfully: "What a fat dun, are you Cao Cao's newly recruited military general Xu Chu? Cao Cao is really eclectic in recruiting people, and he actually found a guy who is extremely fat, are you planning to let you crush me?" Hahahaha!"
Xu Chu was not moved by Lu Bu's words at all, but pretended to be stupid and rode over to ask Lu Bu: "Even is Xu Chu, the lord said that when his subordinates can give ten bowls of rice to the puppet every meal, the puppet will follow him, he is a good person!"
"Hmph, it turns out that he is not only a fat man, but also a fool! How could Cao Cao find such a person to be a military general?" Lu Bu drew a halberd and came towards Xu Chu, "In order to save Cao Cao these ten bowls of rice, let my Fang Tian draw halberd to end your fool's life, right?"
Xu Chu still opened a pair of innocent eyes and said, "Why? Why do you want to end the life of the couple? The puppet is not a bad person!"
"Because only the dead don't eat!" Lu Bu had already stretched out the crescent moon in front of Xu Chu's eyes as he spoke, "Not necessarily because you are not a bad person, I won't kill you, who made your lord my enemy?"
Xu Chu almost flashed like a cloud, and then Lu Bu's painting halberd was in the air, he drew his double knife, pointed at Lu Bu and shouted: "You are a bad person, don't be killed by you!"
Lu Bu was taken aback, although this Xu Chu was stupid and fat, his martial arts were good, and he immediately shook his spirit and fought with Xu Chu: "You can be stupid, fat, now I just want to have a good fight with you, since the battle with Liu Bei in Xingyang, I haven't felt like blood boiling for a long time, come on, Xu Chu, don't let me down! I'm going to do my best!"
The two immediately fought on the field, and the troops saw the knives coming and going, shouting continuously, and couldn't help but applaud in unison.
However, after only twenty rounds, Xu Chu showed his defeat, and gradually he only had the ability to parry, but he had no power to fight back.
Cao Cao was leading the army to come at this time, seeing the smoke and dust in front of him, he knew that Xu Chu must be fighting with Lu Bu, and soon there were soldiers to report the battle, Cao Cao sighed: "I can't imagine that with Xu Chu's bravery, I can't defeat Lu Bu, it seems that Lu Bu's name as the god of war is unshakeable in this life, since Lu Bu can win alone, then let Dian Wei attack together, and let the left and right ambushes attack, cut off Lu Bu's way back!"
"No!" the soldiers immediately went to deliver the order.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Lu Bu, Lu Bu, you are just brave and brave, but you don't take the art of war in your eyes at all, I will let you taste the bitterness today!"
"General Dian Wei, the lord has an order, ordering you to attack Lu Bu with Captain Xu!" the herald came to Dian Wei's front and said.
"Hmm, won't this be a bit of a victory!" Dian Wei hesitated, but still rushed out of the battle and said, "Xu Chu, you retreat, I'll fight him!"
Xu Chu took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "I can still fight!"
Dian Wei shouted: "Don't be reckless, your physical strength has been consumed too much!"
"There is a flaw!" Lu Bu saw that Xu Chu was distracted, and immediately swept towards Xu Chu's waist with a halberd.
"Keng!" Dian Wei waved his halberd to separate Lu Bu's attack, and confronted Lu Bu with Xu Chu on the left and on the right.
Lu Bu said to Dian Wei: "Don't worry, if you want to come, come together, you have also seen Liu Guanzhang's strength Dian Wei, I can handle the three of them alone, how are you and this fat man better than the three of them?"
"Damn! I actually said that I am not as good as Liu Bei's three guys!" Dian Wei was enraged by Lu Bu's words, and immediately waved his halberd and launched a stormy attack on Lu Bu with Xu Chu.
"Very good! This is exactly the result I want!" Lu Bu saw that the agitated plan had worked, and immediately laughed and showed all his strength to stand up with Dian Wei Xu Chu.
The three of them were fighting fiercely, but Sergeant Lu Bu suddenly shouted: "Lord, there are ambush soldiers!"
"What?" Lu Bu turned his head to look, only to see thousands of people and horses suddenly emerging from the flat ground, each under the banner of Xiahou Yuan, Zhu Linglu, Zhao, Cao Hong, and Li Quan, and they were forming a trend of encirclement, rushing from the left and right sides respectively, and they were about to cut off their back roads in a blink of an eye!
