In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Puyang.

At this time, the night was already slightly cold, but Lu Bu was still lying on the bed naked, and Diao Chan was wearing obscene clothes and snuggled in his arms.

It's been a long time since the two of them have been so quietly alone. Since coming to Yanzhou, they have been worried all the time, and although Lu Bu is brave on the battlefield, he is very twisted in small places. In order to defend against Cao Cao's attack before, he had been lying with his clothes, so the sweat on his body had a strong sour smell, and even if he came back, he would not lie in the same bed as Diao Chan.

Today finally had time to take a shower, and Diao Chan returned to his arms. But even with such a lingering atmosphere, the topic of the two is still so heavy.

"In your opinion, when will Cao Cao come back?" Diao Chan asked softly.

"I can't say, if he can quickly prepare food and grass, he will attack the city again by the end of the month at the latest." Lu Bu frowned, although he also secretly hoped that Cao Cao would go back so quietly, but he knew in his heart that with Cao Cao's character, he would never allow others to occupy his territory like this.

"You don't want to be his enemy, do you?" A hint of heartache flashed in Diao Chan's eyes.

"But I must avenge my father's revenge. Since Meng De wants to protect Duan Xuan, then I have no choice but to fight him. ”

"People can't be resurrected after death, is revenge really that heavy?" Diao Chan asked with some sadness.

"What would you do if it was me, not the lord, who died that day?"

"I'm afraid I'll do whatever it takes to avenge you."

This is the difference between man and beast, many things, even if you know what is most reasonable, you can still be emotional. It is precisely because of this that people can be called human beings.

"Now, I only hope he can let you and me go......" Diao Chan's expression became extremely lost.

Of course, Lu Bu knew who she was talking about. Zhang Feng had not been seen since he fled from the Chen Palace's residence, and every time this person disappeared, he would only reappear in front of them with another nightmare.

"At least you and I can enjoy this moment of peace for now." Lu Bu comforted Diao Chan.

And the next moment, they both saw a wry smile on each other's faces.

"It seems that he really wants to pester you and me to death." Lu Bu said, looking helplessly at the window.

Even through the window paper, the two of them could see the fire burning outside, and the shouting of the city followed.

Today's Lu Bu is no longer the same person he used to be, even if he is flustered, he will not mess around. With Diao's help, he put on his armor again.

And Diao Chan, because of the special situation in Yanzhou, always has a set of exquisite women's armor in the bedroom. Although Lu Bu would not let her go to the battlefield, doing so would at least reassure him.

After both of them were dressed neatly, Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's halberd with one hand and grabbed Diao Chan with the other.

Diao Chan smiled and nodded at him and opened the door to the dormitory......

……

Although it was indeed for Lu Bu, the cause of this riot had nothing to do with Zhang Feng.

Jiang Xu, Ge Yao, and their men quietly came out of the house where the refugees were settled at midnight and gathered together. As arranged by a certain bastard military division, they split up and began to move.

Ge Yao took about 20 people and went straight to the military grain depot. With their good blowing arrows, they solved the guards and began to set fire to the military commissary. Jiang Xu arranged for more than 30 people to light fires around the city and burn anything flammable at will, while he himself, with the rest of his men, began to carry out the most crucial step - spreading rumors among the people.

The content of the rumor is very simple: Lu Bu and others are ready to plunder all the money and food in the city, and in order to avoid future troubles, they want to set fire to it in the middle of the night and burn all useless civilians alive.

The people believed this rumor, because during the day, they did see Lü Bu and Zhang Miao mobilizing their troops, and it was hard to guarantee that they were not going to withdraw. And the fire that ignited in the city for no reason made this rumor even more credible.

If Lu Bu knew that someone said this about him, he would definitely die unjustly. The reason why he and Zhang Miao mobilized the army was only to deploy defenses outside the city.

And this also made it easier for the people who set fires in the city, because in the city, there were basically no patrolling soldiers, and most of the soldiers and horses had been taken by Zhang Liao and others to be stationed outside the city.

……

When Lu Bu and Diao Chan rode the red rabbit together and came to the street, the two were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The streets were full of people from the city, trying to move in the direction of the government. And Chen Gong urgently mobilized the only soldiers in the city and tried desperately to stop them.

"Gongtai, what's going on?" Lu Bu asked loudly.

"Rumors are spread throughout the city that we intend to plunder the food and belongings of the civilians and burn them to death. Now that the city is being set on fire, we are at a loss for words! Chen Gong was hit by the people's stones and had several bruises on his face, gritted his teeth and endured the pain to reply.

"What about Meng Zhuo?" Lu Bu suddenly remembered Zhang Miao.

He went out of the city through the other gates to gather the soldiers and horses outside the city, but he was afraid that it would be too late, and the people would be heavy...... Yes! Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the head by a flying stick, and he fell to the ground without standing still.

Lu Bu looked in the direction, and there was the man who was being questioned during the day. It's just that this man's eyes at this moment made Lu Bu understand everything.

That was the gaze of a general who commanded the army, calm and sophisticated, and at this moment, those eyes were staring at him, and Lu Bu could even feel the ridicule in those eyes.

If you look closely, there are dozens of people with strange eyes among the civilians, they are not full of anger and grievances like ordinary people, on the contrary, these people's eyes are so calm, they have been observing the surrounding situation.

Alas! Joke ink! You're ruthless!

Lu Bu complained in his heart. Indeed, the current situation is no longer beyond his control. This has been the case with the people throughout the ages. One person is very smart, a group of people are very stupid, as long as someone takes the lead in agitation, then everyone will follow suit, this fear of being excluded from the herd heart, is the greatest sorrow of the common people.

"Kill these wicked people!"

"That's right! Either they die or we die today! ”

"Don't sit still!"

"Kill!"

At Jiang Xu's signal, more than fifty of his subordinates pretending to be refugees began a new round of instigation, and took the lead in snatching the weapons in the hands of the soldiers who blocked them.

This move drove everyone to start fighting, and the poor soldiers couldn't do anything about it. Because they can't use their hands to fight civilians, and those who fight for weapons with themselves are usually two or three people rushing at the same time.

Soon, Jiang Xu's men snatched the spears in the hands of some soldiers.

"Ahh A soldier suddenly let out a scream, and it was Jiang Xu himself who pierced him.

The people were stunned by this sudden change, and although they were resentful in their hearts, they did not expect to meet the soldiers and soldiers.

"If they are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Folks, kill! “

This was the last thing Lu Bu could hear clearly, because all the civilians, under the last instigation of Jiang Xu and others, lost their minds.

Ordinary people who have never seen blood will become delirious because of this stimulus of detachment from daily life, and then instinctively react to nervousness and fear - to follow their companions and protect themselves.

This is exactly what Jiang Xu wants, hundreds of thousands of people against 10,000 soldiers, the quantitative advantage is enough to make up for the quality gap.

A few soldiers barely rescued Chen Gong, who had been half-knocked out, and then joined the fighting group. And the people had slowly driven the soldiers in the city to Lu Bu's side.

"Whoosh! Sou! Two spears suddenly flew towards Lu Bu, and Lu Bu grabbed one of them with his left hand, while the other was opened by him with a halberd. It's just that he miscalculated one thing - there is still a sable cicada sitting in the back.

"Hmm!" Diao Chan's low groan came from behind, and Lu Bu hurriedly looked back, and Diao Chan's arm had already been cut out of a long gap.

"Bastard!" Lu Bu turned his head and glared angrily at Jiang Xu, who was throwing a gun in front of him. Then he saw more and more soldiers being killed by the people because of their fear.

Diao Chan could feel Lu Bu's trembling, and she knew what Lu Bu was thinking.

"Fengxian, don't, if you do that, you will never ...... again" Diao Chan endured the pain and pulled Lu Bu's hand. However, this was the first time that her hand was thrown away by Lu Bu.

The last hope in her heart was dashed, because she heard Lu Bu's order:

"All men are out of the city, and if there are any who stand in the way...... Kill them all! ”

Driven by Lu Bu, Chitu let go of his hooves and ran. And the two people on its back have completely different expressions.

Diao Chan frowned, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes; And Lu Bu had bloodshot eyes and a hideous complexion.

The fiery red rabbit rushed straight down the street to the city gate in this "city of karmic fire". Everywhere he passed, as the halberd waved, the severed limbs and stumps flew in all directions......

Xuzhou, Xiaopei.

The street hawkers were overshadowed by a group of chattering people sitting at the tea stalls. They are not outsiders, they are the "Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen".

That time, when chasing Cao Cao, six of these eighteen horsemen were killed by Duan Xuan. After arriving at Xiaopei, Zhang Fei began to supplement them.

After several selections, six people with Yandi bloodline were finally chosen. And the last test that Zhang Sanye gave them was to chat with the people.

After confirming that the third master was not joking, the six newcomers were taken to the market by the remaining twelve horsemen.

What they have to do is to win the hearts of the people and let the people support Liu Bei as the pastor of Xuzhou.

This is Zhang Fei's suggestion to Guan Yu and Mi Zhu: It's useless to persuade me, let's let the people keep the eldest brother.

"Lord Zhou Mu Tao's body is no longer able to govern, alas, if Cao Cao takes this opportunity to come back, we will suffer."

"Yes, last time, even Master Tao was forced to leave the prison."

"It's a pity, if only General Liu could be the state pastor, then Cao Cao heard that General Liu was here that day, so he immediately withdrew his troops."

"It's a pity that General Liu rejected Lord Tao's good intentions and is going back to Qingzhou."

"Then I won't let him go, and I'll write a petition to General Liu to be the pastor of this state."

"Yes, General Liu is generous and benevolent, and he will not leave me and wait."

“……”

These eighteen men are simply driven crazy, they only know how to charge into battle, when have they done such a thing.

But it wasn't bad, and their conversation attracted a lot of people to stop and listen.

As they spoke, a middle-aged man walked up to them and burst out laughing.

They already felt that this work was aggrieved, and at this moment this person was obviously laughing at them. As a result, these eighteen men broke out in an instant.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Am I not right?"

The man was still smiling, and said to them, "You wait for a long time, it is better for me to go and see your lord." ”

When Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry heard this, he couldn't help but look at this person suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

The man restrained his smile, with a slight disdain in his eyes, and replied, "Go and tell your father-in-law, just say that Jian Yong Jian Xianhe is here." ”
