Chapter Seventy-Three: Three Traitors
When Wei Xu asked this sentence, Song Xian and Hou Cheng couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts. The two looked at each other, then looked at each other and smiled, they both knew that this was done.
When Wei Xu asked the two of them what their plans were, it showed that Wei Xu actually had the intention of betraying Lu Bu. Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came. This is still the case for couples who share the same bed, let alone their subordinates.
Plans, since Song Xian and Hou Cheng came to persuade Wei Xu, they naturally had a plan, and they planned to put Lu to death.
They wanted to take refuge in Cao Cao, but what Cao Cao could say was that the fierce generals were like clouds and the ministers were like rain. At their level, it is obviously not easy to get out of the way under Cao Cao.
Therefore, if Song Xian wants to seek a high position under Cao Cao, then he must come up with a weighty vote. And at present, in this Xiaopei City, the most important vote is Lu Bu's head.
But Lu Bu has the courage of ten thousand people, and as Lu Bu's subordinates, they know Lu Bu best. If you want to deal with Lu Bu, let alone the three of them, even thirty of them can't deal with it. Therefore, if you want to take Lu Bu's head, you must use stratagem.
When Song Xian and Hou Cheng secretly contacted Cao Cao, Cao Cao's strategist, who was a ghost talent who was good at scheming, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. has come up with a plan for them, but if they want to implement this plan, then they must have Wei Xu's cooperation, so this is the scene where Song Xian and Hou Cheng wooed Wei Xu.
Song Xian lay in Wei Xu's ear and whispered softly, and after a while, a knowing smile leaked from the faces of the three of them.
The three of them were like stones in a pit, and they smelled the same. As soon as the three of them got together, Wei Xu immediately turned against him, agreed to cooperate with the two of them to calculate Lu Bu, and then took refuge in Cao Cao together, and used Lu Bu's head to find a good background for the three of them.
"Brother Wei Xuxian, don't worry, if this matter is done, you will be the first credit, and I am afraid that this official position will still be above our two brothers." Song Xian saw that Wei Xu agreed, patted Wei Xu's shoulder and said.
"The two brothers have been promoted, and this matter requires the three of us to work together to achieve success." Wei Xu also bowed his hand to the two of them and complimented.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
The three of them complimented each other, and it seemed that they had imagined the days when they would be in a high position in Cao Ying in the future, and they would inevitably be a little fluttering.
The sun has just leaked out, and Xiaopei City is buried in a pot to cook. Fortunately, Xiaopei is a wealthy place, and there is plenty of food and grass in Xiaopei City, so it is not a problem for the soldiers under Lu Bu to have enough to eat.
"Kick, kick, kick."
A rush of footsteps came, and I saw Wei Xu, who was wearing armor and straddled the sword, hurriedly coming.
"My lord."
Wei Xu called for a call, then leaned over Lu Bu's ear and whispered softly.
Hearing Wei Xu's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face was happy.
"Xiao Pei is saved, Xiao Pei is saved!"
"Xiao Pei is saved, Xiao Pei is saved!" Lu Bu paced back and forth and said in surprise.
"Lord, what's so surprising?" Chen Gong asked with some puzzlement.
"The military advisor doesn't know, our scouts have detected the traces of Cao's grain road. At most, an hour later, Cao's army grain transport team will arrive. Now that Cao's army has besieged us, this grain transport team is very lax. If we burn Cao Jun's grain and grass at this time, Cao Jun's heart will be frustrated, and there will be no grain and grass in the army, and the siege of Xiaopei will be lifted. Lu Bu said happily.
Wei Xu had followed Lu Bu for many years, so Lu Bu did not doubt Wei Xu's words, and similarly, Chen Gong did not doubt Wei Xu's words.
"Lord, this plan is feasible, but we have no soldiers?" Chen Gong hesitated for a moment and then said.
These days, Xiaopei's defense is becoming more and more difficult, and now all the soldiers in the city have gone to the city to defend, including Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and they have long dismounted to serve as infantry.
And if you want to laugh at the raid on the Cao army's grain road, it must be cavalry, and now there are not many troops in the city, so it can be said that the defense is still difficult, where is there enough strength to raid the Cao army's grain road.
"Zhang Liao, how many more of my Bingzhou Iron Cavalry are there?" Lu Bu turned his head and asked Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's face was a little ugly, and he said in a low tone: "Lord, there are less than a thousand horsemen?" ”
Lu Bu's face turned cold, and he said: "Less than a thousand rides, how many rides?" ”
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then said an accurate number: "Seven hundred and eighty horses." ”
"Hey." Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh.
From the original crusade against Dong Zhuo with 30,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry into Luoyang, to the 3,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry when he entered Xiaopei, now there are only 780 cavalry left.
That's 30,000 families, and how many orphans and widows there are in the state.
He, Lu Bu, I'm sorry for the fathers and fellow villagers in the state.
"Zhang Liao, order five hundred horsemen, and follow me to attack Cao's grain road." Lu Bu ordered.
"Five hundred horsemen?" Zhang Liao was shocked.
You must know that according to Cao Cao's naturalized military strength, the team transporting grain and grass, the people and soldiers cannot be less than 10,000 people. Five hundred cavalry, to attack the grain transport team of 10,000 people, Zhang Liao felt that this was a bit of a desire to hit the south wall.
"Lord, can't you?"
"My lord, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to do it with five hundred horsemen." Chen Gong also hurriedly dissuaded.
Lu Bu looked at everyone and said with a serious face: "There are only seven hundred and eighty horsemen in the city, and there is no difference between me bringing five hundred horsemen and seven hundred and eighty horsemen." The rest of you should leave some seeds for me and the Iron Horseman. ”
"Lord, if not, let's stick to the city wall, shall we?" Chen Gong said with a solemn face.
"Don't say more, I'm going to decide."
"Attacking the Cao army's grain road and burning the Cao army's grain and grass is the only chance to hold Xiaopei."
"I have a red rabbit horse, I have a halberd painted by Fang Tian, who is the biggest person in the world is my enemy Lu Bu. If I can attack the enemy's middle army directly, kill its commander. In this way, the enemy army will inevitably panic, and this matter may not be impossible. Lu Bu looked up at the great sun in the east, and his momentum was unmatchable for a while.
Lu Bu didn't know that what he saw as the only chance he hoped for was actually just a trap for him.
"Lord, I'll go with you." At this time, Gao Shun stood up with a resolute face and said with a resolute face.
Gao Shun is silent, when Lu Bu makes a decision, Chen Gong may persuade, Zhang Liao may persuade, but only he, Gao Shun, is the only one who swears to follow regardless of right or wrong.
"No, I'm leaving, there must be no generals in the city, you stay and be responsible for defending Xiaopei." Lu Bu said sternly.
"Lord, I'll go with you." Zhang Liao arched his hand and said.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay, then Wenyuan will go with me." ”
"Lord, I'll go too." At this moment, another voice sounded, this person was Cao Xing, the archer under Lu Bu's command.
"Okay, with Wei Xu, the four of us will go." Lu Bu clapped.
As soon as these words came out, Wei Xu was a little confused. He didn't want to go, but Lu Bu was in the middle of the plan, if he saw that he was a traitor, he was afraid that even if he was the first in the army, it would not be difficult.
