Yanzhou, Dongjun Administration, Puyang.

Just as Cao Cao was about to die at the hands of Lu Bu, Dian Wei desperately struck open the burning giant tree at the city gate and rushed into the city.

It was not so much anxiety as remorse. Cao Cao asked him to send an order to the rear army to enter the city carefully, but it was such a gap that his lord was in danger. As a personal guard, Dian Wei was already derelict in his duties, although Cao Cao would not blame, but he blamed himself deeply in his heart.

Cao Cao looked at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this person's loyalty was unquestionable, but this disregard for his life made Cao Cao faintly uneasy.

Lu Bu took back the halberd and turned his head to look at Dian Wei, "Are you the guard chosen by Meng De in the rumor?" ”

"Appreciated by the Lord, ashamed of this position."

"Are you trying to save Mengde?"

"Where the duty lies, besides, the lord has not repaid the kindness of the encounter, how can the lord be unexpected." As he spoke, Dian Wei slowly leveled the double halberds and set up a posture.

Lu Bu rode on the red rabbit, his eyes became a little sad, not because of Dian Wei's appearance, but because of his loyal protection of Cao Cao, Lu Bu couldn't help but think of Dong Zhuo. Just because of the personal feelings of his children, he ruined the righteousness of a generation of heroes, and even the future of the Han Dynasty.

"Order, let Meng De's army and horses go out of the city." Lu Bu said loudly.

"Bongxian! Cannot! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you don't eradicate Cao Cao at this time, you will be in great trouble in the future......" Chen Gong shouted.

However, Puyang's soldiers and horses had stopped attacking and were slowly retreating towards the city. Most of the commanders were Lu Bu's people, and even if the generals in Puyang wanted to continue fighting, they couldn't mobilize many people, so they simply listened to Lu Bu's command.

Dian Wei pushed away the dead horse that was pressed on Cao Cao's lap, picked up Cao Cao and limped out of the door.

Chen Gong stomped on the city wall, full of resentment, so he snatched the bow and arrow of the soldiers around him, took the bow and pulled the string, and aimed at Cao Cao is arrow.

After all, there is a gap between the strategist and the general, and the strength of the arrow is not enough, Dian Wei stared sideways at the direction where the arrow was flying, raised his hand suddenly, and the arrow was firmly held in his hand.

Cao Cao slowly raised his head, looked at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, do you really want Cao to die?" ”

Chen Gong threw his bow on the ground and glared at Cao Cao angrily, "You imprisoned your old friend for many years for the sake of a strategist of unknown origin, and Chen Gong is ashamed to be with you." ”

"I don't blame you, but from today onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Wait three days, and in three days I will return. After speaking, Cao Cao rode on the horse led by the colonel with the support of Dian Wei, and drove away with his own soldiers and horses.

"Feng Xian, if you think about your personal feelings again, we will die without a place to be buried!" Chen Gong flicked his sleeves and turned around and went down the city wall.

Zhang Miao stood on it all the time and didn't speak, but his eyes never left Lu Bu's body. Lu Bu also moved his gaze to him, and the two looked at each other like this......

The Yanzhou ambush of Cao Cao's army by Lü Bu, Zhang Miao and others ended in an awkward atmosphere.

Yangzhou, Jiujiang County, Shouchun.

Wu Ning was dressed in a profane dress and looked at Yuan Shu with some surprise. He didn't say a word or undress when he entered the dormitory today, just sat quietly on the edge of the bed, crossed his hands, and stared vacantly at the ground in front of his feet.

"General? If you have any worries, you might as well listen to the concubine and let the concubine share your worries. Wu Ning slowly crawled from the center of the bed to Yuan Shu's side, gently leaned against his back, and said softly.

"Ce'er is too alien to me after all."

Wu Ning's heart tightened, and he didn't know what Yuan Shu was talking about, so he had to suppress his nervousness and slowly spoke: "Why did the general say this?" Ever since Ce'er came with me to join the general, the general has always regarded him as his own, and he has always regarded the general as his father, so he must have been too worried about the general. ”

"I didn't comfort myself like this, but today, he ......"

"What's wrong with him?" Wu Ning asked cautiously.

"I want to appoint him as the Taishou of Jiujiang today, but he not only resigned on the grounds of futility, but also returned to me the old headquarters of more than 1,000 Wentai generals whom I had handed over to him. He's afraid that I'll suspect that he has two hearts, alas~~~"

Wu Ning relieved his heart at this time, and said in Yuan Shu's ear: "Then general, have you ever suspected him?" ”

"Now that you are my Yuan Shu's woman, Ce'er is like my own child, how can I doubt him!"

"General Mingjian, why doesn't the general do something to reassure Ce'er?" Wu Ning smiled slightly, charming and moving.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but be moved by her like this, and asked, "How about I return the jade seal to him tomorrow?" ”

"General, that jade seal is just a dead thing, and the concubine once said that only a general is worthy of this thing."

"That ......"

"It's better to let a few of the old generals of the first husband go with him, he met a few uncles, and he was naturally relieved."

"This ......" Yuan Shu hesitated.

Seeing this, Wu Ning hurriedly got out of bed and knelt in front of Yuan Shu, hiding his face and crying: "The general forgives the sin, the concubine is dedicated to sharing the general's worries, but the consideration is inappropriate, which makes the general embarrassed, the concubine deserves to die, the concubine deserves to die!" She burst into tears as she spoke.

Yuan Shu hurriedly helped her up in distress, "Why is Ning Er like this, I also know that you really think about me." I'll order the four generals to follow Ce'er tomorrow. As he spoke, he wiped away Wu Ning's tears with his sleeve.

Wu Ning lowered her head shyly.

Yuan Shu pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "If there is anything in this world that I am afraid of, there will only be your tears." ”

Without waiting for Wu Ning to speak, Yuan Shu pressed her on the bed and slowly untied her clothes......

……

The next day, Yuan Shu ordered Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to be under the command of Sun Ce, and sent troops with him to capture Lujiang.

Sun Ce was naturally happy in his heart, but he still had to remain silent in front of Yuan Shu, so he received the military order and set off towards Shu County, the seat of Lujiang governance.

On the way, Sun Ce ordered the army to slow down, and he rode ahead with the four veterans.

Han Dang looked back at the army and made sure that no one could hear him, so he leaned over to Sun Ce and asked, "Grand Prince, I want to break away from Yuan Shu this time?" ”

Sun Ce said thoughtfully: "It's not time yet." ”

"Now that we have enough food and grass for the soldiers and horses, why don't we take down the Lujiang River ourselves in order to achieve a great cause?" Cheng Pu asked.

"These are Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, if they really fall out with Yuan Shu at this time, they can't guarantee that they won't rebel. To tell you the truth, I took down the Lujiang River this time, and I still have to return it to Yuan Shu. The first is to protect his mother, the second is to make Yuan Shu feel more at ease, and the third is to return to his father's old department. The Sun family's tiger and wolf master is not yet his turn to be driven by Yuan Shu. Sun Ce's gaze was unusually determined.

"Eldest Prince, the Sixth Sage Elder sent a message that he would send Chen Wu, his disciple of Ye Shuai Ling Cao, to assist you." Huang Gai has always been in charge of the connection with Yeyu, so naturally he got the news as soon as possible.

"Let him sneak in Shouchun City first, and when I wait for the incident, I will escort my mother as an internal agent." Sun Ce said.

As he spoke, Shu Xian appeared in front of him. Sun Ce slowly pulled out his sword and pointed forward, "All the generals will listen to the order, and whoever resists, kill!" ”

Outside Puyang City, Hao Meng camp.

Ever since Cao Cao had written a war letter before leaving, Chen Gong had advised Lü Bu to immediately disperse his forces and station them outside the city, so that if there was a real situation, they could also take care of each other.

Hao Meng's camp is located in the southwest of the city, which is quiet compared to the other camps.

Hao Meng was about to rest, when he suddenly reported that the soldiers who went out to patrol found a girl in an unconscious.

It's a time of war, who would come here?

"Hmm~~~" The girl's low groan came, Hao Meng was a little puzzled, it sounded like this girl shouldn't be very old.

"Girl, who are you? Why did you faint at the edge of the camp? Hao Meng looked at her and asked.

"I ...... My name is Ling Yuan, and my family originally went to the city to run errands, but I killed the bandits halfway, my father and mother...... They were all killed, and I was left desperately trying to escape. I ran for my life, but I didn't get a drop of water, and I happened to see a light here, so I ran with my last breath, but I was so thirsty and hungry that I fainted. ”

After listening to this, Hao Meng nodded and said, "Girl, you have a good rest in my camp first, and I will send you into the city tomorrow." Wait a minute, I'll get you some food. ”

……

Guo Lan watched Ling Yuan being successfully rescued into the camp before leaving cautiously.

Since Duan Xuan's accident, Guo Lan has been borrowing wine to drown his sorrows. But when the bad news came, this kind of day was over, because Mo Yue was dead.

By eavesdropping on the conversations of everyone in the main hall, he finally knew that the culprit was Lu Bu.

So, he took the initiative to find the four sages and asked to secretly assist Ling Yuan.

Although the four sages were worried that he would damage his body because of drinking these days, he couldn't resist him after all, so he had to agree.

What Ling Yuan said just now was what Guo Lan taught her along the way, otherwise with Ling Yuan's own character, she would have shouted "I am an assassin" long ago.

Guo Lan's plan was that if he couldn't get rid of Lu Bu directly, he would divide them from the inside and eventually isolate Lu Bu.

And the reason why Hao Meng was chosen was because he basically commanded more than half of Puyang's infantry.

The night wind blew mercilessly on his face, but he didn't feel it at all.

Slowly looking up, there are dark clouds gathering in the night sky. Guo Lan smiled bitterly Yaoyao, the people he cherished were getting fewer and fewer, and he didn't know if the next one would be him.

Gathering his thoughts, Guo Lan walked into the woods.

And on the big tree he passed by, Zhang Feng was having a nightmare.

In the dream, Lu Bu stood on the burning city wall, holding Diao Chan in his hand, and looked at him with a contemptuous smile. Then, the two jumped and jumped.

Zhang Feng woke up with a stirring spirit, looked around, it was extraordinarily quiet, and occasionally there were a few birdsongs.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, curled up, and fell asleep again......

In the quiet night, people with different fates are looking forward to the dawn.
