Looking at the stars in the sky, Lu Bu suddenly had an illusion.

It seems that the time has returned to the night when he left Chang'an, although he is now the lord of Xuzhou, but just like then, he still can't see the way forward.

Sometimes he also thinks crankily, if his father-in-law Ding Yuan hadn't died, would he still be a master bookkeeper?

Without the protection of his father-in-law, he gradually grew up, but he also lost the most precious thing - ambition.

Lu Fengxian, who dreamed of one day following his father-in-law to gallop across the battlefield and protect the land and the people, is dead, and now he is just a walking corpse struggling desperately to live until tomorrow.

However, his mind was quickly pulled back to reality.

Because Cao Xuan signaled on the side, he was already very close to Yuan Shu's military camp.

Now they only have to wait, because Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, and Yang Fengzheng led the cavalry to make a detour to cut off the enemy's rear.

The figures of the garrison soldiers reflected by the torches in Yuan Shu's camp could already be seen, and Lu Bu waved behind him, signaling the generals to wait.

Now he is surrounded by foot soldiers except for the trapped camp.

And Lu Bu and the trap camp also approached with their horses, so there was no sound.

After about a stick of incense, Yuan Shu's camp suddenly became in turmoil.

Lu Bu knew that Wei Xu and they had done it.

He stepped onto the red rabbit, raised the halberd, and said, "Order, take the Yuan Shu tent!" ”

With that, he struck the reins and rushed out.

Gao Shun immediately ordered the trap camp to mount and follow Lu Bu closely.

Song Xian led the infantry and recruits, and Cao Xing led the Shengong Battalion, maintaining an appropriate distance and also began to advance.

This time, Lu Bu did not have any reservations, and all the elites gambled.

In Xiapi City, only a small number of recruits, Taishan Liangkou and Han Xianam's foot soldiers were defending.

After all, with Chen Gong here, Lu Bu is not afraid of changes in the city.

At this point, all he had to do was attack with all his might.

……

Yuan Shu was already lying down, but suddenly his subordinates reported that there was a surprise attack by enemy troops behind the barracks, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and armor and went out of the camp to inspect.

But by the time he left the camp, the situation was completely out of control.

The front and rear of the battalion were already in disarray, and I don't know how many enemies had attacked.

The braziers that had been stabbed by the enemy had already set fire to many tents, and many soldiers who had not had time to put on their armor were desperately fleeing.

Yuan Shu held a long sword in his hand and called out to several of his generals.

In fact, there was no need for him to shout, because Ji Ling had already run to his side.

"My lord! Lu Bu took advantage of the night to sneak attack, and the front and rear of the camp were broken at the same time, and Liu Xun and Qiao Rui were struggling to resist at this time. Now that the army is in chaos and difficult to mobilize, please follow the last general, and the last general will protect you out of the encirclement. ”

"Ahh Yuan Shu was furious after hearing this, "Shameless boy, you dare to attack this general's camp at night!" Come! Prepare the horses! I'm going to fight him to the death!" ”

"My lord! At this time, the army's morale is in turmoil, and it is impossible to fight again, so let's withdraw with the last general first! ”

Yuan Shu looked around, and it was indeed a mess in the whole camp, at least after shouting, there was no one to lead the horse.

He stomped his foot in annoyance and nodded to Ji Ling.

But at this moment, a blazing fire came into the eyes of the two.

Lu Bu!

Ji Ling was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly raised his sword to stand in front of Yuan Shu to defend.

Under the light of the fire, Lu Bu's face was extremely resolute, and Gao Shun led the trapping camp to follow, and no one dared to stop him.

Just in an instant, Lu Bu had already arrived in front of Ji Ling.

Ji Ling didn't wait for him to make a move, and slashed at the front hooves of Chitu with a knife first.

The red rabbit horse is psychic, and without Lu Bu's order, the person stood up, and at the same time kicked Ji Ling's head with his hooves.

Ji Ling was surprised, and hurriedly leaned back, while drawing his knife and preparing to attack the horse's belly.

His idea was right, Lu Bu was already unparalleled in the world, and with such a horse, it would be even more difficult to deal with. So, his goal is first and foremost Chitu.

However, how could Lu Bu allow him to succeed?

Seeing Ji Ling half-kneeling and sliding under the horse, Lu Bu had already guessed his thoughts.

At this time, the gap in the essence of the martial artist was revealed, and Lu Bu made a move, but the halberd shaft hit Ji Ling's chest first.

"Hmm!" Ji Ling's chest seemed to be pierced, and he endured the pain, rolled to the left, and flashed the falling horse's hooves.

But he wanted to swing the knife again, but suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Lu Bu just hit the halberd rod, which made Ji Ling unable to bear it.

But Ji Ling was a brave general after all, and he used a knife as a support and barely stood up.

Lu Bu also had to admire, after all, he didn't spare any strength at that moment, at this time, Ji Ling's ribs were only afraid that two of them would be broken, but he was still stubborn and refused to fall.

Now that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are already face to face, looking down at Yuan Shu, Lu Bu sighed.

"Lu Bu child! Today, you succeeded in the sneak attack, and General Ben admitted it! Don't be pretentious, kill if you want to! ”

Yuan Shu knew that no one could save him now, and the trapping camp had completely separated the subordinates outside from him.

"Brother Highway." This was the first time that Lu Bu had called Yuan Shu like this.

"Phew! This general's name is also worthy of being mentioned! ”

Lu Bu was not annoyed, but smiled bitterly, "Born for fame, tired for fame." Okay, then I'll call you General Yuan. Now that I am going to take your life, who can stop it? ”

"I, the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, even if I want to die, I will never beg to surrender! Do it! ”

"General Yuan, you are so confused!" There was a bit of amazement in Lu Bu's voice.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't know what Lu Bu wanted to say.

"In your heart, do you still have the ambition of the emperor?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shu wondered in his heart, did he still have to give himself the name of a rebel when he died?

"Lu Bu doesn't want to be your enemy, otherwise, how could he let go of your generals many times?"

"Humph!"

"General Yuan, the previous incident with Xiaopei was also for a reason. But General Yuan thinks about it, what do you have to lose? The soldiers and horses were not damaged, but a lot of grain and grass were poured. I have not broken my faith in you, so why should you bother with you? ”

"You forcibly occupy Xuzhou, how can I, as a Hanchen, sit idly by?"

"Hahahaha! General Yuan, since you have the heart to betray the Han, isn't it ridiculous to quibble like this? ”

"How could I ever say that I want to be anti-Han?"

"Why do you detain the jade seal privately and build a palace, not to be the emperor!"

"Lu Bu! What do you want to do? Yuan Shu was said to be a little anxious.

"I just want to ally with you again!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and he didn't say anything for a long time with his mouth open.

At this time, the fighting in the camp was still going on, but those shouts of killing and the sound of blades clashing all disappeared in Yuan Shu's ears.

In his eyes, there was only the man on the fiery red war horse opposite.

"You...... What did you say? ”

"I said, I, Lu Fengxian, am willing to form an alliance with General Yuan again and advance and retreat together."

"You are now going to take my life and take my state and county, and no one can stop it, why are you doing this?"

"Do you want Lu Bu to add more notoriety?" Lu Bu said, his expression a little gloomy.

Yuan Shu understood, even if Lu Bu really killed himself and seized his own territory, it would be difficult for him to control it.

What he needs now is not soldiers and states, what he wants is allies and recognition.

was scolded by the people of the world as a "three-surnamed slave", and now none of the princes is willing to unite with Lu Bu, even Liu Bei, who is just waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Hahaha, the fierce generals who were the best in the back then turned out to be in such a field!"

"Hehe," Lu Bu also smiled, "But is the general different from me?" ”

"Joke! After I am famous, how will the world compare me with you! ”

"Then Lu Bu wants to ask, if the general really acts, will someone help you?"

"I ......" Yuan was choked, because what Lu Bu asked was the crux of the matter.

Yuan Shu himself also knew that if he really wanted to be the emperor, he was afraid that no one would be willing to stand with him against the majesty of the Han Dynasty for nearly four hundred years, even his half-brother Yuan Shao would only wait and see coldly, and even worse, he was likely to raise troops to rebel.

"But I, Lu Bu, am willing to form an alliance with the general, even if the general really does something, Bu is also willing to help!"

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Bu, who had a resolute gaze, and was sure that he was not lying.

"Is that true?"

Lu Bu suddenly jumped off the war horse, Yuan Shu couldn't help but take a step back, and Ji Ling also staggered over.

But Lu Bu didn't want to do anything to Yuan Shu, instead, he stuck his halberd aside, pulled out his sword, and cut the palm of his left hand.

"Lu Bu swore here that he was willing to form an alliance with General Yuan Highway and advance and retreat together. The heavens are proof! ”

Yuan Shu stared at Lu Bu blankly for a while, the blood flowing from his hands was so dazzling.

In the end, Yuan Shu also cut his palm with a sword, and also swore an oath and agreed to Lu Bu's alliance.

And this became the end of tonight's raid.

In this battle, both sides left behind the corpses of thousands of soldiers.

But no matter what, Lu Bu once again won Yuan Shu's oath.

……

After the two sides cleaned up the battlefield, they left in an awkward atmosphere.

Such allies don't know how to deal with each other.

In any case, these bloody men can't hook up with the person who was still red-eyed and hacked their companion to death a moment ago.

Therefore, both sides are like losers, and they are walking towards their destination with heavy faces.

In the ranks of recruits, Wu Zheng was marching slowly with Meng Qiang in his arms.

As a result of being "honored" to be selected as the first attack again, Meng Qiang finally tasted the taste of being injured.

It's not heavy, but the thigh was cut by the enemy, and it didn't hurt the muscles and bones.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't survive the end of the year." Meng Qiang said with a crying voice.

"Bad luck! Don't talk nonsense! Wu Zheng punched him in the chest with his fist.

"Why are we leading the way every time?"

"General Lu doesn't have many men and horses now, and if he can keep his personal entourage, of course he is willing to let out the recruits." Wu Zheng replied in a whisper.

"This bastard!" Meng Qiang scolded in a complaining whisper.

"Well, no matter what, I survived today. Go back and bandage it and get some rest. ”

"Alas!" Meng Qiang hung his head and sighed.

Wu Zheng didn't speak again, but he was also thinking about it.

If it goes on like this, I don't know if I can hold on......
