Lu Bu did lose weight this time.

After this period of consolidation, he has completely changed back to the brave and strong general who dominates the world and no one dares to stop his edge.

Li Dao also heard that Lu Bu had become a big fat man, but now that he looks at him, not only does he not have any traces of getting fat, but he seems to be thinner than when he fought in Chang'an.

Seeing Lu Bu riding a war horse, throwing Fang Tian's halberd, and the excitement of going back and forth in the field, Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't help but want to go up and shave him with big ears.

Li Dao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Lu Bupifu, I didn't kill you in Chang'an back then, and I hate you deeply, but now you help the pottery merchant and the thief, and help the thief to do evil, and you are better than the sins of the year, and you don't want to repent, and you dare to show off your power here with me, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed, he used the painting halberd to keep Li Dao, gritted his teeth and said: "Rats dare to rap here?" This general is the Son of Heaven himself, the general appointed by the prime minister, the so-called justification, just by virtue of the two of you Xiliang dogs who are messing around with Cao Cao, dare to say that I am a rebel? It's ridiculous! ”

After saying that, I saw Lu Bu shouting at the soldiers behind him: "Sons, follow me, don't let Li Dao go!" ”

As Lu Bu's voice fell, he saw the soldiers behind him shouting and killing Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses.

……

At the same time that Lü Bu stopped Li Dao and Guo Yan, Cao Cao also sent another general, Xiahou Yuan, to lead his troops to attack Xuchang, but he was stopped by Tai Shici, a premeditated potter.

As for the grain road, the potters also let Xuzhou secretly ambush to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

……

Chen Liucheng.

The potter's camp was attacked by Cao Cao, and in addition to the main village, there were Cao Tao's two sides fighting in various places around Chenliucheng, which made Cao Ren very anxious, and he even had the idea of opening the city and leading his troops to attack the potter's camp with Cao Cao.

Cao Ren convened a court meeting to discuss the matter with everyone.

Most of the soldiers and horses in Chen Liucheng were improvised patchwork from various counties in Yanyu, and these leading generals were not very familiar with Cao Ren, so they were tied up in doing things and did not dare to speak out.

But among the people, there is a strange thing, needless to say, it is the Bao Tao who has long been arranged by Guo Jia.

saw Bao Tao stepping out of the class, and said to Cao Ren: "The general must not leave the city at this moment!" ”

After that, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Cao Ren on the ground.

At this moment, he looked at Cao Ren stupidly.

Cao Ren hurriedly said, "General Bao, why is this?" Hurry up! Let's talk about something! ”

Bao Tao stood up and said to Cao Ren: "The last general is not for anything else, only for the sake of the general and the lives of the soldiers of the three armies, he must not leave the city easily!" ”

Cao Ren couldn't help but laugh angrily when he heard this.

This timid guy almost broke his brain in order to keep me from going out of the city, so I can't do it?

"General Bao, why don't you let me out of the city?" Cao Ren shook his head helplessly and said: "If what you say is reasonable, Cao will naturally listen to you, but if you have no legitimate reason, Cao may not listen to you." ”

Bao Tao wiped his head, stood up, walked out of the city gate where Cao Ren held a court meeting, and said to him: "The pottery merchant is treacherous, extremely treacherous, and he is still a disciple of Huangfu Song, and he has obtained his true inheritance, if the general goes out of the city to fight with him, he will be ambushed!" The last general is willing to pledge with his life! ”

Cao Ren was neither affirmed nor denied, but just said lightly: "Then tell me, where does the Tao Chamber of Commerce arrange ambushes?" ”

Bao Xin pretended to think for a while, then pointed to the faint woods in the southwest, and said to Cao Ren: "Although the last general does not know much about soldiers, he also went to Baibo Valley with the potters to break the enemy back then, and knows the treachery of his troops, if there is no accident, he will definitely set up an ambush in that mountain forest!" ”

Cao Ren turned around and called a lieutenant general and said, "Send someone to that mountain forest to investigate carefully, and if there is anything unusual, report back to me quickly." ”

"No!"

Cao Ren pondered for a while, slowly turned his head and returned to the main hall to sit down, and said: "General Bao, you said that you will guarantee your life, this sentence Cao Mou has written down, I have ordered the scouts to go to find out the news, if it is not true to reality, Cao Mou will take down your head according to the military order!" ”

When Bao Tao heard this, his legs weakened and he almost didn't fall to the ground.

Why is this Cao Ren so capable of making trouble? I just just talked about it, okay?

I'm just a metaphor, you're really going to fucking cut me?

Bao Tao's face showed a hint of pleading: "General Cao...... This ......"

Cao Ren said lightly: "There is no joke in the army. ”

In a word, Bao Tao didn't dare to squeak.

Time passed like this, Cao Ren and the generals present carefully studied the city defense matters, only Bao Tao was frightened, and waited on the side, scratching his heart and liver, and dense beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.

When he was young, he saw that the scout sent by Cao Ren had returned in a hurry.

Bao Tao's spirit was suddenly shocked.

The scout trotted to Cao Ren's side, whispered to him, and said in a low voice: "General, there are indeed ambush soldiers from the pottery merchant in the forest, but the generals Zhang He and Gao Ran under the command of the pottery merchant, there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the forest, if they are really blocked by the other party, I am afraid that the loss will be not small." ”

Cao Ren nodded abruptly, then waved at the scout, and then looked at Bao Tao with a smile.

"General Bao is really loyal and courageous, and has foresight, Cao admires and admires."

When Bao Tao heard this, he almost collapsed on the ground.

……

Back in his barracks, Bao Tao repeated today's events to Guo Jia, and finally said, "Mr. Guo, why do I think that you seem to be harming me?" ”

Guo Jia sniffed and said lightly: "Are you still touching your head?" ”

Bao Tao reached out and touched his head, and said, "Of course it's still there." ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes: "Since the head is still there, why do you say that I hurt you?" ”

"This ......"

"Besides, Guo has followed the prime minister for many years, how will the prime minister use soldiers, can't Guo see it?"

Bao Zhong, who had been eating melons next to him, couldn't help but crook his body and almost fell down.

He looked at Guo Jia in surprise and said strangely: "Mr. Guo, today you told my brother that there was an ambush in the forest, wasn't it something that you and the prime minister had specially communicated beforehand?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Nonsense, I'm trapped in this Chen Liucheng, how can I communicate with him?" That army of soldiers and horses should have stayed there specifically to block Cao Ren. ”

"And then let you break it?" Bao Tao said weakly: "Because of what? ”

"Because Cao Ren's heart to go out of the city is not resolute, since this is the case, it is better to let you make a contribution, not only to be able to communicate with him, but also to show your talent, why not?"
