Chapter 5 The Idealism of the World Eighth, Zizhong Offered Advice

The soldiers are several times the enemy and seek to ride alone to be martial, intending to show the enemy to be strong and show off their martial arts.

Zhang Fei knew very well at the moment that Cao Bao was thinking like this.

Perhaps because the private discussions of the generals on weekdays were heard by him, Cao Bao has always been worried about his mediocre martial arts.

After taking a look, Zhang Fei immediately realized that this Cao Leopard had only become stronger in strength and speed, but his martial arts moves were still average.

Then it is not difficult to think that he must have used some method to make his physique stronger, but he did not practice martial arts diligently. In other words, Empty has a good foundation, but no commensurate skill.

Facing Cao Bao's charge again, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sneer.

The excitement at the beginning is gone, and all that is left in my heart is disappointment and contempt.

The current Cao Bao is not even as good as before, and has become a complete reckless man.

Cao Bao's long knife blade pointed outward, although it was a straight stab, but with a slashing move, the target was Zhang Fei's neck.

Zhang Fei turned slightly sideways on his horse, and the spear was already in his left hand. While dodging Cao Bao's attack, Zhang Fei grabbed Cao Bao's knife shaft with his right hand.

"Drink!"

Cao Bao thought that his current strength had become very great, but he didn't expect that holding the knife with both hands could not match Zhang Fei's one-handedness.

Suddenly blocked, he suddenly became unstable and leaned back.

The war horse was still rushing forward, but Cao Bao had already been taken out of the saddle by Zhang Fei's block, and sat on the ground.

Zhang Fei didn't give Cao Bao time to breathe, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and the war horse suddenly began to run.

Zhang Fei still held the knife stick in his hand, and Cao Bao also grabbed it tightly, but driven by the war horse, he was dragged away.

As a last resort, Cao Bao had no choice but to let go of the blade, otherwise he would never be able to stand up.

But Zhang Fei had long expected him to be like this, and at the same time that Cao Bao flipped up, Zhang Fei also took off the stirrups with both feet, jumped up from the horse, turned the long knife in his right hand, and threw it straight at Cao Bao.

Cao Bao hurriedly pounced to the left to avoid being pierced by the long knife, but the whistling sound above his head had arrived, and Zhang Fei held the spear in both hands and slashed down from top to bottom.

Cao Bao pounced on his side again and dodged again.

It's just that Zhang Fei's attack style is to leave no gaps. The spear bounced off the ground, and Zhang Fei flicked it with his hand and slashed at Cao Bao's calf.

Cao Bao could only jump up and dodge, but he didn't want to be kicked hard by Zhang Fei in the lower abdomen.

He fell to the ground and rolled several times before stopping, and hurriedly got up in pain.

It turned out that Zhang Fei used a spear as a support to fight against Duan Xuan before, used his left foot to exert force, jumped towards Cao Bao, and kicked his stomach with his right foot.

At this time, Cao Bao gasped for breath because of several evasions and pain.

"Meng Xin, give me medicine!"

Cao Bao looked back at his array, but there, there was no shadow of Miss Xin for a long time.

"Meng Xin!"

"Back to ...... Back to the general, when General Fang Cai and Zhang Fei fought, Miss Meng Xin had already left. ”

"Ahh Cao Bao's eyes were dark, and he almost fell.

In fact, the reason why he has changed so much is because of the medicine that Meng Xin gave him.

It's just that he doesn't know that this drug, called "Wushuang", has just ended Pishuai Changao's life not long ago.

At this moment, Cao Bao became completely weak due to the pain and the failure of the medication, and he could no longer stand.

"Boom!" Finally, he fell.

"If you don't want to die, don't block my Yanren Zhang Yide's road!"

A thunderous roar resounded through the wilderness, and Cao Bao's men all showed frightened expressions.

For Zhang Sanye, they still know that if they really go crazy, it is difficult to guarantee that all the hundreds of people in this area will not be killed by him.

Ordinary soldiers, not all of them were full of courage, I don't know who hit the whip first, these more than 100 people seemed to have received amnesty, and they all began to turn their horses and flee for their lives.

Zhang Fei didn't chase after him, because Cao Bao was still moaning on the ground. His face was completely distorted from the pain.

Zhang Fei turned over the war horse, slowly came to the long knife that was thrown out just now, and pulled out the long knife that had been inserted into the ground.

Then, he led the horse to Cao Bao's side.

"Do you know what kind of person Zhang hates the most in his life?"

Cao Bao just groaned, where could he hear what Zhang Fei said. Zhang Fei shook his head self-deprecatingly, in fact, he didn't expect Cao Bao to answer.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

Zhang Fei violently pinned Cao Bao's left leg to the ground with a long knife.

"It's a rebel like you!" Zhang Fei's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Cao Bao wanted to pull out the knife, but he was helpless because of his lack of strength.

Zhang Fei slowly led the horse back to Yan Yun's eighteen horses, pointed his spear, and said, "Come with me." ”

Then, he took the lead and galloped away at Cao Bao.

The sound of horses' hooves finally aroused Cao Bao's attention, and he realized that Zhang Fei's war horse was coming at him.

"Three generals, Cao Bao is guilty! Ask the three generals to spare their lives! Plentiful...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei's war horse hooves had already kicked him in the chest, and he broke his sternum in two.

However, this is not the end, because the eighteen Yanyun cavalry is completely running according to Zhang Fei's route.

With the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, Cao Bao had already broken his muscles and bones, and he was dying.

Zhang Fei didn't even look back, just led his subordinates and rushed in the direction of his eldest brother Liu Bei's troops.

And behind him, the city of Xiapi was in flames......

————————————————

The resistance in the city gradually stopped, and Lu Bu led his horse to the yamen of the Taishou Mansion.

Mi Zhu was guarded by Song Xian and followed quietly behind.

Lu Bu walked into the main hall of the mansion and stopped.

"Gongtai, is there any news from Pengcheng?"

"That side has also succeeded, and Chen Qi and Chen Deng have also been defeated under Mi Fang's persuasion." Chen Gong whispered beside him.

"Those people are happy." Lu Bu smiled and turned to look at Mi Zhu, "Zizhong, now that I have sent someone to guard your mansion as promised before, you can rest assured." It's just that...... What should Liu Bei do if he returns? ”

"Send troops." Mi Zhu said lightly.

"Oh?" Lu Bu was a little surprised, first, Mi Zhu would really plan for himself; Second, this strategy is quite strange, not to consolidate the city defenses and appease the people, but to use troops immediately?

However, it can be seen from Chen Gong's appreciative attitude next to him that this is not Mi Zhu's trick to harm himself.

"Why?" What should be asked still has to be asked, Lu Bu said again.

"Coerced Liu Bei, quite a surrender."

"Hehe, Zizhong said with a smile. If I take away his city, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alone will hate me to the core, how can they descend to me? Lu Bu laughed.

"Presumably Brother Gongtai also understands the reason, right?" Mi Zhu asked at Chen Gong.

"Feng Xian, Zizhong's words are indeed true. If you send an army against him, he will surrender. On the one hand, he now has no more than an inch of the city, and if there is no supply, the army's spirit will inevitably collapse; On the other hand, if he does not surrender, he will confront you head-on, and you have now possessed a fortified city, and he will not be able to bargain for it; Of the three, Feng attacked the front first, Yuan Shu attacked the rear, and Cao Cao watched from the side, he would fall into an embattled situation, with Liu Bei's calmness, he would never let himself fall into such a dangerous situation. ”

"Then why not take the opportunity to eradicate it?" When Lu Bu first saw the three of them in front of the Bishui Pass, he knew that they were by no means things in the pool. Therefore, in Lu Bu's heart, he has always instinctively wanted to get rid of the three people.

"Tell me the truth," Mi Zhu stepped forward and replied, "It is easy for the general to get rid of Liu Bei at this time, but apart from him, the general is just as dangerous." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Zizhong wants to say that Cao Cao will take the opportunity to go east." Of course, Chen Gong knew what Mi Zhu was referring to.

"Yes, but not just Cao Cao. If the general wants to get rid of Liu Bei, Xuzhou will be attacked again, and the people will be forced to migrate due to war. In this way, troops, soldiers, food, money and even Xuzhou's vitality will be greatly lost. It must be known that Cao Cao is far from being the only traitor who covets Xuzhou, Cao Cao is more or less because of personal grudges, but Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and even Sun Ce are all tigers and wolves. If the enemy is attacked on all sides, no matter how brave the general is, how can he deal with it thoroughly? ”

Mi Zhu just made the facts clear in a calm tone, but Lu Bu and Chen Gong were silent.

Being in the city of Xiaopei, their attention was only focused on how to capture Xuzhou, but as for how to defend Xuzhou, Chen Gong may have thought about it, but Lu Bu ...... It's still too simple.

Previously, Chen Gong had planned to expel Liu Bei from Xuzhou, and at the same time tie Yuan Shu in the south and win over Sun Ce. Yuan Shao was still nominally an ally with Cao Cao, so he didn't think about it, even if he was better than him, at most it would only be in exchange for Yuan Shao to wait and see when Lu Bu and Cao Cao went to war.

Since this is the case, it is better to win over Yuan Shu, who is evil to him, in this way, if Yuan Shao mobilizes troops, Yuan Shu will definitely lend a hand.

But Mi Zhu was right, if Lu Bu fought with Liu Bei and the loss of troops was too large, then for the princes, there would be no value in forming an alliance.

Who would offend everyone in order to protect a piece of fat that can be divided equally?

Mi Zhu saw that neither of them spoke, so he smiled slightly and said: "General, now that the younger brother and sister are in your hands, the general should rest assured that Mi Zhu will not turn his back, right?" ”

Before Lu Bu could speak, Chen Gong responded with a smile: "Zi Zhongyan is serious, you and Feng Xian and I have been friends, and now they are even more like a family, Brother Ling and Sister Ling are Feng Xian and my family, so why do you say the opposite." ”

Lu Bu had to admire Chen Gong's eloquence, because if he opened his mouth just now, it would just be a sentence: "Of course not." ”

Mi Zhu also knew in his heart that Chen Gong's words were just polite, but since he wanted to pretend, he had to be the same as the real one.

"If the general can trust Mi, then I will persuade Liu Bei to surrender, how about it?"

"This ......" Lu Bu heard Mi Zhu say this, and his heart was somewhat hesitant.

"Then there will be Lao Zizhong, hehe, Fengxian, one Zizhong, it is really better than 100,000 male soldiers." Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu with a smile.

Lu Bu understood and hurriedly said, "Yes, then the two of us will wait here for good news." ”

"Mi Zhu quickly go back quickly, and teach Liu Bei to come down with all his heart." As he spoke, Mi Zhu arched his hand and strode out.

……

When Mi Zhu's figure disappeared from sight, Lu Bu restrained his pretended smile and asked Chen Gong, "Will he come back?" ”

Feng Xian rest assured, since he has the heart to help Liu Bei, he will naturally not leave. Alas......"

"Why is this?" When Lu Bu saw Chen Gong sighing, he couldn't help but be curious.

"I'm just a little upset. Thinking that he Liu Bei is a nameless person, and the name of the Han clan is empty, he first sold his reputation in all directions, and then won Xuzhou without much effort, and even the Mi family has a big business and a brave and wise family also helps each other with sincerity. And Feng Xian is loyal, but he bears the infamy of disloyalty and injustice, which is not tolerated by the world. In this way, the sky has no eyes! ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the experiences of the past few years came to his heart again.

In troubled times, it seems that right and wrong are not based on common sense, and people's circumstances are also very different.

However, even if he doesn't petition again, next, he will have to play another drama against his will with Liu Bei......
