Chapter 522: Exhortation

At night, the Huangxian county, which has become a swamp country, is quiet, and the constant influx of river water not only floods the city, but also the outside of the city. In this case, it was indeed difficult for Lu Bu to move an inch, but Cao Cao was also difficult to attack, so there were not many soldiers patrolling the city wall, and they were listless.

Looking at the river surging under the city walls, the eyes of the soldiers on the city walls were full of confusion and despair about the future. Although it was also besieged, but it was previously by Cao's army, and now it is by the sea, but the city is completely submerged and trapped on the city wall, which feels completely different for these soldiers. Homeless and nowhere to go, the cult of Lu Bu in their minds was gradually occupied by the despair of reality.

Although Chen Gong had already been aware of it, he prepared in advance when Cao Cao led his army away, and sent all the people and soldiers in the city to the city wall, without causing many casualties. But in the face of the situation that the city was flooded by the sea, the people were still panicked and the people's grievances were boiling. Although Cao Cao's behavior is unscrupulous and harmful, the effect is remarkable. Now the soldiers and the people on the city wall are in despair, food is indeed enough, but fresh water is seriously scarce, and it will not last long.

In this quiet night, there are countless people who can't sleep at night.

In the city tower where Lu Bu temporarily served as a mansion, Lu Bu, who was still high-spirited a few days ago, was gloomy at this time, drinking and having fun under the service of his concubine Wang, and the whole person looked depressed. The Wang family, who was helping to pour the wine beside him, looked at each other flatteringly and smiled, but the depths of his eyes faintly revealed a sense of indifference and disdain, and the smile on the corner of his mouth turned into a sneer at an angle that Lu Bu could not see.

"General, let's have another drink!" Wang Shi filled the wine glass in Lu Bu's hand and muttered softly.

"Good! Good! Lu Bu said with a drunken face, his eyes were confused, and then he drank all the wine in the wine glass.

"The general has a good amount of alcohol! Here, have another drink! Looking at Lu Bu's groggy appearance, the smile in the corner of Wang's eyes became even worse, and he filled the wine glass again and persuaded the wine.

"Good!" Lu Bu held Wang's hand, looked at his charming face intoxicated, and said drunkly: "Ying'er, you dance to show me." ”

The corners of Wang's mouth twitched, and he quietly pulled out his jade hand from Lu Bu's hand, walked into the hall, and danced to the accompaniment of the maids on both sides.

Lu Bu lay on his side on the main seat, slowly drinking wine, while watching Wang's dance in a daze.

However, as if attracted by the beautiful music and dancing, an uninvited guest soon broke in.

Chen Gong, who was expressionless, didn't say a word, slowly walked into the house, stood in front of Lu Bu, looked directly at Lu Bu, and said coldly: "Lord, are you happy?" ”

Lu Bu didn't seem to hear Chen Gong's words, and continued to watch Wang's dancing without saying a word.

"I don't know if the lord is happy or not, Cao Mengde must be very happy now, especially after learning that the lord is so profligate." Chen Gong was not angry when he heard this, and continued.

"Gongtai, what are you doing here?" Hearing this, Lu Bu slowly put the wine glass in his hand on the table and said in a deep voice.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu with unwavering eyes: "I came to remind the lord that the enemy is currently in a rotten situation, you should now stand on the city wall to encourage the soldiers to appease the people, instead of lying here drinking and enjoying themselves!" My lord, you are happy now, but soon after falling into the hands of Cao Cao and becoming a prisoner of his subordinates, I am afraid that you will not be so happy. ”

"Now that Huangxian County is flooded, we can't get out, and Cao Mengde can't get in. What do the soldiers and the people need to be appeased? After a period of time, Cao Mengde will naturally retreat when he sees that things cannot be done. Lu Bu said indifferently.

"Lord, the people's hearts are terrible, now the soldiers and the people are panicking, although Cao Cao will no longer attack the city, but if it goes on like this for a long time, the morale of the soldiers in the city is low, there is no fighting spirit, once there is a rebellion, what should the lord do." Chen Gong dissuaded.

"They dare!" Lu Bu's majestic body slowly stood up, giving people a feeling of imposingness: "If someone is here, who dares to rebel?" ”

"Lord!" Seeing that Lu Bu was still so arrogant and arrogant in such a dangerous situation, Chen Gong couldn't help but dissuade him.

"Needless to say, there you go!" Lu Bu saw the pitiful look of the Huang family behind Chen Gong, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, and said coldly directly.

"Lord!" Chen Gong said sadly.

The grim color on Lu Bu's face did not decrease at all, and he just looked at Chen Gong coldly.

"The lord, please think twice, the palace will retire first!" Seeing this, Chen Gong sighed lightly and bowed to leave.

When leaving, Chen Gong glanced at the Huang family, who I saw pity, and saw the faint sneer in his eyes, his fists clenched secretly, and his eyes flashed.

Huang sneered in his heart, and watched Chen Gong dance again after leaving.

After Chen Gong left, he listened to the sound of the orchestra behind him again, and muttered solemnly: "The poisonous woman misled the country, Zhou Gongjin really didn't lie to me, so is Wei Xu and the others really..."

After that, Chen Gong secretly ordered his subordinates to go to the northern city wall of Huangxian County to find out the situation of Wei Xu.

Huang County was flooded, but that doesn't mean it's an isolated city, and information can't be exchanged. Zhou Yu's falconry skills obtained from the Wuhuan people played an important role in this situation, and two letters were directly delivered to Huang County at night, and one of them was sent to Chen Gong.

On the north city wall of Huangxian County, Cao's army surrounded three and missing one before, and did not attack this city wall. Considering the ability of his brother-in-law Wei Xu, as well as the omission of prevention, Lu Bu took great pains to let Wei Xu be stationed here, but it is unknown whether his good intentions can be appreciated by Wei Xu.

There are always some people who don't know the general situation and don't know what to do, and Wei Xu is one of them. He didn't have the slightest gratitude for Lu Bu's painstaking cultivation before, and ignored it and took it for granted. At this time, he found that Lu Bu's situation was not good, and he did not have the slightest idea of worrying about this brother-in-law, but was bent on contacting Cao Cao and trying to find a way out for himself.

Lu Bu, who has always had a cold temperament, rarely trusts and sympathizes with the people under his command, and Wei Xu is the one he trusts and cares for the most, and it can be said that he is the only one. Think about the trapped camp that Gao Shun worked hard to cultivate in history, because Lu Bu's jealousy was not handed over to his jurisdiction, but handed over to Wei Xu's command, and only in wartime was handed over to Gao Shun's commander, and Gao Shun was not given military power at all on weekdays, and such a general was completely regarded as a training machine, and all kinds of fears were suppressed.

But it was this person he feared and suppressed the most, and after his defeat, he died willingly and without saying a word, and he was treated poorly but loyal. And Wei Xu, the person he took care of the most close to, betrayed him and betrayed him for glory. This kind of ending is really ironic, Lu Bu can be said to be useless at all. There are two generals under his command, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who are not reused, but value Wei Xu, a wolf-hearted and clever man, and he is not unjust at all when he is defeated in the hands of Cao Cao.

On the north city wall, Wei Xu, who was supposed to be stationed here, appeared in a dark corner, and there were two generals beside him, namely Hou Cheng and Song Xian.
