Shou Chuncheng.

This most important city in Huainan is as silent as death at the moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Due to insufficient preparation in advance, the city did not have enough firewood and grass to make a fire for warmth, and both civilians and soldiers had to snuggle up to each other and huddle around that precious fire to keep warm.

In Shouchun City, there is only the imperial palace located in the center of the city, which is brightly lit and shining as day at the moment.

It was Yuan Shu's palace, and it had become the seat of Lu Bu's military palace at this moment.

The bright palace seemed a little out of place with the bleakness and darkness around it.

In the golden hall, the lights are blazing and the fragrance is permeated.

Lu Bu and his generals were enjoying fine wine and meat.

The grain road leading to the outside world in Shouchun City has been cut off, because of Yuan Shu's rampant expropriation, most of the people in Shouchun are poor, and they have not saved much grain and grass for the winter, and now the city is besieged, and soon fell into food shortage and hunger.

The palace was an exception, it was full of grain, grass, wine and meat that Yuan Shu had scavenged from the people, piled up, and these good things were now owned by Lu Bu.

In this besieged season, Lu Bu would feast the generals from time to time, hoping to consolidate the generals' loyalty to him through these wine and meat.

Among Lu Bu's generals, Zhang Liao was nowhere to be found, Cao He and Song Xian were captured by Tao Shangsheng, Hao Meng died in Xuzhou, and now only Gao Shun, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian are left under his command.

Wei Xu was guarding the camp in the south corner of the city, and at the moment only the three generals of Gao Shun and the injured strategist of Chen Gong were by his side.

Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian, the two generals, just buried their heads in eating and drinking, looking heartless.

Chen Gong sipped a sip of wine, his brows deep and thoughtful.

Only Gao Shun, who looked worried, had no intention of eating meat or wine, so he sat there withered, and sighed from time to time.

Lu Bu, who was sitting on the dragon couch, had a mountain of wine and food in front of the case, but it was also difficult to swallow and had no appetite.

In the main hall, the atmosphere was rather dreary.

Suddenly, there was a faint noise and cries coming from outside the palace.

"What's the matter, who dares to disturb Benhou Yaxing?" Lu Bu patted the dragon case and ordered the sergeant to go and check it.

A moment later, the sergeant returned, claiming that it was outside the palace, that nearly 1,000 men, women, and children had gathered, claiming that they were hungry and begging Lü Bu to provide food and grass.

The grain and grass in the palace were piled up, which was enough to help the people, but Lü Bu was worried that the siege would be long and the food would be cut off, so he ordered that the people should not be given food.

The people of Shouchun have been oppressed by Yuan Shu's harsh government for a long time, and they could endure even if they only had one mouthful of porridge to drink, but now that the city is besieged, the firewood and grass will never be said, and even the grain and rice for a mouthful of porridge will be cut off, and the people who have been forced to a dead end have to take the risk to come to the palace and ask Lu Bu for his life.

"The grain and grass in the official warehouse are for the use of officials and soldiers, these Diao people do not fight and do not shed blood, what do they have when they are hungry, and they even have the face to ask for food from Benhou!" Lu Bu's face sank and he scolded.

Chen Gong's brows condensed slightly, and he wanted to speak, but he stopped talking, and only sighed secretly.

Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, the two generals, have nothing to do with themselves, just drink their own wine and eat their own meat.

Gao Shun frowned secretly, and his sunken eyes revealed a bit of compassion, hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Lord, the grain road in Shouchun City has been cut off, and the people in the city cannot buy grain and grass from the outside world, and each family has been out of food for many days, I heard that some people have begun to starve to death, and the grain and grass in the palace are piled up, which is enough for our army and civilians to support for several months. ”

"Take out a little?" Lu Bu glared at Gao Shun and asked rhetorically, "Then Ben Hou wants to ask you, can you be sure how long Shouchun City will be besieged?" If you are surrounded to the end, you will rely on the little grain and grass you said to feed the soldiers, can you afford this responsibility? ”

Gao Shun was reprimanded speechless, so he had to close his mouth sullenly.

Suppressing Gao Shun, Lu Bu snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted: "Bomb away all those shameless Diao people to Benhou, if they don't know each other, kill a few people and warn them with blood." ”

The sergeant received the order, so he hurried to give the order, and after a while, there were screams and cries outside the palace, obviously there were already "ignorant" people, who were killed by Lu Jun's butcher's knife.

Under the threat of iron-blooded suppression, the noise outside the palace gradually faded away, and it was obvious that the people gathered outside had all been scared away.

In the palace, calm finally returned.

Lu Bu already had a bad appetite, and he was even more in the mood to make trouble for these hungry people, and in his irritability, he swept all the wine and meat on the table on the table to the ground.

The fragrant wine, the chunks of meat, all fell to the ground.

The generals were startled, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

The soldiers on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward and quickly cleaned up the things that fell to the ground.

"Potter, you want to capture Shouchun, don't think about it! This time, Ben Hou must live and die with Shouchun......" Lu Bu secretly gritted his teeth and began to scold the potter again.

At this time, the sergeant who had just left came in again and arched his hand: "My lord, I came from the east gate to report that several horsemen approached the city from the enemy camp outside the city, saying that they wanted to see the lord." ”

"The pottery thief, what is Benhou's good opinion, order the defenders at the head of the city, just shoot them with random arrows." Lu Bu shouted without thinking.

"My lord, the brothers at the head of the city report that one of the women seems to be the eldest lady."

Miss?

Daughter Lu Lingji?

Lu Bu's expression changed immediately, Chen Gong also changed color slightly, and Gao Shun was even more shocked.

Their eldest lady, I heard that it fell into the hands of the potter, how could she appear outside the city at this time, and still see Lu Bu?

"Pottery thief, what tricks are you playing?" Lu Bu struck a few times with his fist, and his sword eyebrows were deep.

Gao Shun turned his surprise into joy, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the eldest lady is still alive, this is a good thing, no matter what, hurry up and see you." ”

Lu Bu had no choice but to blush, with suspicion in his heart, he immediately got up and left the palace and went straight to the east gate.

Gao Shun and the others also followed.

Ascending to the east gate, Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw more than ten horsemen stationed at the head of the city, among which a woman who was surrounded looked vaguely like his daughter Lu Lingji.

Lu Bujian's eyebrows immediately frowned deeply, and when he saw that his daughter was still alive, not only was he a little happy, but there was also a trace of hatred in his eyes.

It seems that Lu Lingji is alive, which is a shame for him.

"It's really the eldest lady, the eldest lady is really alive." Gao Shun was excited.

Lu Lingji, who was surrounded by all the riders, was overjoyed when she saw her father appear at the head of the city, and she almost wanted to ride a horse and rush over to reunite with Lu Bu's father and daughter.

This thought, in a blink of an eye, was dispelled by Fan Xu's vigilant gaze, and disappeared in a flash.

Of course, the potter was in case she took the opportunity to escape, so he sent Fan Hao to lead a team of iron cavalry soldiers to "protect" Lu Lingji before coming to the city and persuade his father.

Lu Lingji has no weapons, and is only half a horse away from Fan Xu, Fan Xu's hand is always pressed on the hilt, and she is ready to move at any time, as long as she dares to make a move, Fan Xu can immediately kill him with a knife.

The potter has a heart of pity and cherishing jade, but that also scores people, but Lu Lingji doesn't know what to do, so he will never be soft-hearted.

In the agitated mood under the calm, Lu Lingji remembered the responsibility he carried, so he took a deep breath and arched his hand towards the city: "Lingji has seen her father, and when she sees that her father is fine, Lingji is relieved. ”

The appearance may be similar, but the voice cannot be copied, as soon as Lu Lingji opened her mouth, not only Lu Bu, but everyone who knew her confirmed that it was the same.

"It's the voice of the eldest lady, she's really alive, it's great......" Gao Shun was excited, he also watched Lu Lingji grow up since he was a child, and now he saw that she was still alive, how could he not be pleased.

Lu Bu's face was gloomy, and there was no joy on his face.

On the contrary, his face was still twitching with dark tendons, and there was a faint hint of anger.

Syllable!

Suddenly, he slammed his fist against the female wall and shouted angrily: "Are you also worthy of being Benhou's daughter!" ”

This shout startled everyone present, and Gao Shun's figure was also shocked, and he looked at Lu Bu in surprise.

In front of the city, Lu Lingji's face changed color, and a trace of pain flashed in her bright eyes, obviously being reprimanded by Lu Bu's heartless reprimand, which deeply stabbed her heart.

She knew why Lu Bu blamed her.

The daughter of the first warrior in the world, even if she is captured, she should save her name with death, but she has survived to this day, and she still appeared in front of the two armies, and Lu Bu blamed her for losing his face.

The pain in her heart, but she could only swallow the bitterness and sighed: "How does my father want to scold, although the scolding is good, Lingji came today, just to tell her father for the potter, as long as the father is willing to let the city go, he promised to let a way out, so that his father can retreat safely, Lingji asked his father to agree to the potter's conditions." ”

Lu Lingji's voice was loud, and everyone in the city heard it, and all of them changed color.

They didn't expect that this eldest lady of the Lu family came to persuade their lord, her father, to abandon the city and flee on the orders of the pottery merchant.

If these words were said by other lobbyists, they would naturally have no influence, but if they came from the mouth of Lu Bu's daughter, they caused a sensation in the city's Lu army.

Lu Bu's body shook violently, changed color, and reprimanded angrily: "Slut, you don't know shame, you steal your life, and it's just a matter of insulting my Lu family's reputation, and you even dare to threaten Ben Hou for that traitor, you are so bold!" ”

The sentence of "shame" ruthlessly stabbed Lu Lingji's heart and humiliated her dignity, as strong as her, and was even more angered by her father's ruthless insults.

Her little face also sank, her eyes flashed with resentment, and she said sharply: "Father, you keep scolding me for stealing my life, when I was outside Xiapi City, if you didn't want to sacrifice me to the Yuan family for help, abandon me, and flee back to Xiapi alone, would I have fallen to the point where I am today!" ”

Finally, Lu Lingji told the truth of the day in front of the two sergeants.

At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Lu army did not change color.

Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Lu Bu could do such a thing.

At the beginning, Lu Bu's intentions were ruined and he fled back to Xiapi alone, but he told them that Lu Lingji was separated from him in the chaos.

Who would have expected that the number one martial artist in the world would be panicked, and he would leave his daughter behind.

In an instant, the eyes of the soldiers showed a lot of disappointment, and their worship for Lu Bu was greatly reduced.

Even Gao Shun, who has always been loyal, sighed secretly, looking quite helpless.

was exposed by his daughter, Lu Buqi's face was distorted and deformed, his face was so red with shame and anger, and his eyes made him feel like a man's back, and there was a faint embarrassment of self-embarrassment.

Annoyed and angry, anger rushed to his head, Lu Bu snatched the sergeant's bow and arrow, and scolded: "Slut, you dare to talk nonsense and slander Benhou, I Lu Bu don't have a daughter like you, today I will clean up the door for my Lu family!" ”
