That person was the man in black who hid in the woods during the day, and he knew that his whereabouts were exposed, so he simply came out to meet Lu Bu.

He took off his mask, took out a letter from his body, and respectfully handed it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't look back, the tall and mighty general beside him took the letter for Lu Bu and unfolded it.

It didn't take long for the military general to say to Lu Bu: "Lord, Cao Cao of Yanzhou wants to recruit us. ”

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Oh, Cao Cao? Isn't that the person who led a group of princes and me to fight with me in the Tiger Prison Pass with Yuan Shao in the past? ”

The man in black bowed and bowed, and said: "At this time and that time, now Cao Gong is recruiting talents in Yanzhou, recalling the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, he deeply admires Wen Hou's martial arts, and what is more respectable is that Wen Hou understands the righteousness, and slashes Dong Zhuo, a traitor for the Han Dynasty, to remove the great harm for the world, this is really the world's first great achievement, Cao Gong respects the loyalty and courage of Wen Hou, and sends a letter to invite Wen Hou to create a great cause! ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly, but before he could answer the messenger's words, Chen Gong came over first and said, "It turned out to be a letter from Duke Cao, let me see it." As he spoke, he took the letter from the tall general.

"Uh-huh, so it is, so it is......" I saw Chen Gong nodding his head while watching, and the messenger didn't know what Chen Gong meant, so he looked at him and wanted to wait for him to make a statement.

"Ahh

Suddenly, the messenger screamed and was stabbed in the back, killing him.

The sudden change even Lu Bu was taken aback, he fixed his eyes and saw that the person standing behind him to assassinate the messenger was actually Gao Shun?

This Gao Shun is usually silent, but he is the most loyal to Lu Bu, as long as it is Lu Bu's order, even if it is to send him to death, he will not hesitate to carry it out, this is his way of serving the master.

But now, this loyal general, without Lu Bu's order, actually killed the messenger sent by Cao Cao without authorization, which Lu Bu never expected.

"Gao Shun, you!" Seeing that things had become irreparable, Lu Bu also stood up excitedly, and in the face of Cao Cao's invitation, he couldn't help but say that he was still a little moved, but as soon as Gao Shun made such a move, this possibility disappeared completely.

"Don't be angry, the Lord asked General Gao Shun to do it."

At this time, Chen Gong smiled slightly, tore the letter in his hand into pieces, and threw it into the fire.

Hearing Chen Gong say that, Lu Bu was even more surprised, obviously he was still smiling when he took the letter, even Lu Bu thought that Chen Gong was interested in this invitation, but he didn't expect him to hide a knife in his smile, ostensibly reading the letter, but secretly instructing Gao Shun to knife the messenger behind his back.

I saw Chen Gong say: "Does the lord want to work for Cao Cao?" ”

When Lu Bu saw that the matter had come to this, he was silent.

Chen Gong continued: "Is the lord blaming Chen Gong for making an assertion and instructing General Gao Shun to kill Cao Cao's messenger, so that the lord has no choice?" ”

Seeing that Lu Bu still didn't speak, Chen Gong smiled and said, "The lord is the dragon among people, why should he be subject to a mere Cao Cao?" ”

"I think that Cao Cao is just the lord of a state, isn't Yuan Shao more powerful than that Cao Cao in Hebei? But the lord can abandon him without hesitation, which shows that the lord has lofty ambitions and is by no means a hero who is willing to be subordinate. That Cao Cao, like Yuan Shao, just likes the lord's superior martial arts and wants to use the lord, if the lord has no use value, the lord will be in danger. ”

At this time, Lu Bu finally spoke, and he said disdainfully: "Hmph, who in the whole world can threaten me?" However, there is some truth in the words of the public platform, that Yuan Shao is indeed not a thing, I defeated the Black Mountain thief for him, not only did he not thank me, but also wanted to harm me, if I didn't take care of the safety of my brothers, I would have taken other people's heads a long time ago! ”

Chen Gong clapped his palms and said loudly: "Yes, although the lord is embarrassed for a while, there are infinite possibilities in the future, it can be said that the dragon enters the sea, the sky is high and the sea is wide, but once he defects to Cao Cao, he is not only subject to people everywhere, but also worried about whether they will secretly cause harm, after all, the open arrow is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, although the lord is brave and invincible, but he also has to consider the safety of his family, isn't it?" ”

After Chen Gong said this, Lu Bu suddenly realized that although he was not afraid of anyone harming him, he couldn't guarantee that his wife and children would not be harmed, and he couldn't protect them every day, right?

That Lu Bu's family is being protected by his henchman Zhang Liao at this time, Lu Bu loves his concubine Diao Chan very much, naturally he will not let her suffer with him, he plans to wait until he settles down before taking them over.

Therefore, he was anxious to find a place to settle down and reunite with his wife and children as soon as possible.

"That's right! If it weren't for Gongtai's move, I would have almost fallen into Cao Cao's way, from now on, I, Lu Bu, can only let others surrender, and never obey anyone's orders again! Lu Bu shouted, and the animals in the entire forest were frightened and fled in all directions, really as powerful as the king of beasts.

"That's right, so I have to work hard for the lord and the soldiers, and after eating enough, I hurried overnight." Chen Gong said.

"Why is that?" Not only Lu Bu was puzzled, but even everyone who was gobbling up food also looked up at Chen Gong.

I saw Chen Gong say: "Cao Cao's messenger is here, which means that they are afraid of you, the lord, and want to win you over, and spy on you by the way, Cao Cao is really a hero, if he is not weak-hearted, how can he make such a decision?" If my expectations are right, Yanzhou must be empty at this time, this is a God-sent opportunity for the lord, and I hope the lord will not miss this opportunity! ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's halberd and said to everyone: "Hurry up and eat, we will rush to Yanzhou overnight tonight!" “
