In Yuan Shu's Chinese army tent, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Ji Ling and Liu Xun knelt below, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.

"Two generals, what skills? In just a few days, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were lost in vain! ”

"My lord, they ......" Yan Xiang was about to open his mouth to defend them.

"Shut up! They deserve to be punished for their losses! Each official will be demoted to one discipline and fined for three months! Let's go down! ”

Although Yuan Shu has no strategy, he also knows that it is the way of the Lord, and such a punishment is already very light.

After all, now the enemy is at present, and it is time to employ people.

……

The next meeting was to discuss how to attack.

Of course, now that the front of Xiapi is full of pits, there is only a detour to get the other doors, but who can guarantee that there are no traps at the other doors?

But let Yuan Shu worry about this.

Out of the big tent, Ji Ling and Liu Xun both breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's rare that today's lord is willing to take it lightly." Ji Ling said to Liu Xun.

"You're really a martial artist. If it weren't for the current lord still using us to command the troops, with his temper, I'm afraid that you and I would have been imprisoned a long time ago! ”

"Oh......"

"That **** is really anxious, so he fell for Lu Bu's trick. What I'm worried about now is that the lord will no longer use you and me to command the army. ”

When Ji Ling heard this, he understood what Liu Xun meant.

What Liu Xun was worried about was that Yuan Shu would hand over the soldiers and horses to Qiao Rui.

This person is different from Ji Ling and Liu Xun, although everyone is Yuan Shu's subordinate, but he is a real tendon.

Whatever Qiao Rui identifies as a target, even if he fights until he is the only one left, he must take it.

Ji Ling also knew that although Yuan Shu praised him for his courage every time he came back, Yuan Shu scolded him behind his back.

If Yuan Shu really asked him to command the army, he was afraid that these soldiers who came this time would be buried in his hands.

In fact, their lord never seems to have "disappointed" his subordinates.

Only half a day later, Qiao Rui was appointed as the general of the Chinese army, responsible for commanding the siege.

Hearing this news, Ji Ling and Liu Xun could only smile bitterly......

————————————————

At this time, in Xiapi City, it was a different scene.

Because the baggage escorted by Hou Cheng arrived, and at the same time, there was also the personal entourage "Taishan Liangkou" sent by Zang Ba to support.

"How's the battle going over here?" After Hou Cheng arrived, he hurriedly inquired about the situation first.

He entered the city from the north gate in a roundabout way, after all, it was better not to let the enemy notice this kind of reinforcement, because Chen Gong might have a plan.

"General Lu used a trick yesterday to kill the enemy's cavalry vanguard. You haven't seen General Hou, General Lu is standing under the city alone, that majesty is really like the Bishui Pass back then! Chen Deng praised loudly.

"Hehe, it's as if you've seen the bravery of the general in front of the Bishui Pass." Hou Cheng sneered and mocked casually.

Hou Cheng didn't have any good feelings about this kind of "wall grass" that originally followed Liu Bei, but suddenly rebelled under Lu Bu's command.

Chen Deng was not annoyed, but smiled in response.

Now he and his father Chen Qi are Lu Bu's staff, although Lu Bu is also somewhat vigilant, but after all, he is a person who surrenders to sincerity, which is also courtesy.

Hou Cheng didn't talk to him again, and instead went to ask Cao Xing.

"How? Can a military advisor have a plan? ”

"Yesterday's strategy annihilated the cavalry led by Liu Xun. Alas, the general's intention was still unwilling to completely fall out with Yuan Shu, so Ji Ling and Liu Xun let it go. ”

"It's the way it is. The general must also be afraid of a villain like Yuan Shu, and will unite with Yuan Shao to attack us. ”

"Now that he has lost his men, he must be more cautious. I'm afraid that the battle will be difficult in the future. ”

"When I was in Pengcheng, I heard that Liu Bei had ordered the Guanping garrison to be nearby, but then I don't know why I withdrew my troops?"

"I don't understand this either, but as soon as he left, the general happened to withdraw as well. I don't know what Liu Bei's plan is......"

"Liu Bei's Zhang Liao has been sending scouts to monitor, but there is no movement. For now, let's think about how to drive Yuan Shu away. ”

"Then it depends on the strategy of the military advisor."

……

Cao He and Hou Cheng are right, this kind of overall planning should be left to Lu Bu and Chen Gong to think about.

However, now they have a disagreement because of this plan.

Chen Gong's meaning was that he personally went to the Yuan Shu camp, knew the benefits, and persuaded him to withdraw from the army.

But he was vetoed by Lu Bu.

It's not that he doesn't trust Chen Gong because of what happened before, he believes that even if Chen Gong wants to rebel, he will never choose Yuan Shu to be such a waste.

Lu Bu didn't have confidence in Yuan Shu, in case this fool didn't care about it and cut him down without waiting for Chen Gong to speak, wouldn't he be wronged?

"Now our army's soldiers, horses, food and grass are difficult to support, if you don't let me go, I'm afraid that Xuzhou will not be protected!"

"I said, Yuan Shu will deal with it personally, and the public station doesn't have to take risks."

"Lu Fengxian! You say you'll cope, but you're going to fight on your own? Do you know that even if Yuan Shu can be killed, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will inevitably move. At that time, it is up to you to fight, what can you do! ”

"Okay, okay, don't be impatient with generals and military advisors." Chen Qi hurriedly played a round.

"Oh? Could it be that Han Yu wants to do it for me? With Chen Gong's character, he didn't like Chen Gong's father and son, so naturally he lost his respect and shouted his words directly.

Lu Bu reminded him of this, and the explanation given by Chen Gong was that there is no elder or younger in making friends, and the word is a relative. Chen Jue didn't care about this.

"Oh, the military advisor is asking for my life. My old mouth, it will only be bad if I go. ”

Chen Gong didn't expect him to agree, but he was just ridiculing at random.

"To deter him with courage, to put it with reason, if I just want to fight, I will not let his general go twice."

Hearing this, Chen Gong calmed down a bit, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"It needs the help of your stratagem to make it happen." Lu Bu said, glancing at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi has been in the world for a long time, of course, he immediately understood, so he arched his hand and said: "The general and the military adviser discussed, I will go to see how the grain and grass are handed over." ”

Since people don't want to let themselves listen, spending it here again will only annoy people.

Although Chen Jue said the truth, he was not a scoundrel, and hurriedly found an excuse to go out.

Seeing him leave the City Guard Mansion, Chen Gong said, "Feng Xian can't trust him?" ”

"Ever since I recognized Duan Xuan, I can't trust this kind of mutinous person."

Lu Bu originally said it casually, but Chen Gong was a little unhappy when he heard it.

Only then did Lu Bu react that Chen Gong had also betrayed Cao Cao to welcome him into Yanzhou, so he hurriedly said: "If he can have a public platform and be loyal, I will not be so wary of him." ”

Chen Gong naturally knew that this was a comforting word, so he said with a smile: "Fengxian, unconsciously, you have also begun to understand scheming. ”

Lu Bu also smiled.

The world is like this, how can it be the same nature?

"Okay, let's go on, what are you going to do?"

"Now that Yang Feng and Han Xian have surrendered, coupled with the soldiers and horses brought by the new soldiers and Hou Cheng this time, our army already has the strength to fight against Yuan Shu. I would like to make an appointment with him to fight, and the public platform will assist him, and after defeating him, he will be forced to form an alliance with us again. ”

"But in this way, you have disobeyed the emperor's edict to crusade against Yuan Shu."

"The public station knows better than me, so why bother talking about it. Now that the emperor is in Cao Cao's hands, the edict is not Cao Cao's intention? But since the edict is for me to crusade against the subordinate, if Yuan Shu does not have the heart of disobedience, why should I attack him? ”

"Hehe, Fengxian, you have indeed become sophisticated. Yes, that's exactly how to deal with it, but you don't have to make an appointment with Yuan Shu. Since you want him to know your Lu Fengxian's intentions, you only need to win. Tonight, you will lead your army to attack and take Yuan Shu's camp directly. ”

"Night raid?"

"Exactly! As I said before, our army is more than capable of dealing with Yuan Shu today, but it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Bei and Cao Cao will not send troops. ”

"Well......" Lu Bu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, just according to Gongtai's words." ”

"Then I'll go and tell the generals to prepare early."

With that, Chen Gong walked out.

Lu Bu saw that Chen Gong was about to walk out of the door, and suddenly shouted: "Gongtai ......"

Chen Gong turned his head, looked at Lu Bu and asked, "Is there anything else to do with Feng Xian?" ”

He thought that Lu Bu had thought of something again, but found that Lu Bu at this time was very different from Fang Cai, but like a child who had made a mistake, he was a little twisted.

"Gongtai, I ......"

"Hehe, what is this Fengxian? Could it be that I, a civilian official, am more feared by Fengxian than the hundreds of thousands of allied troops in the Kwantung region? ”

Lu Bu twisted even more, but in the end he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said: "I misunderstood the public platform before, don't blame the public platform!" ”

While speaking, Lu Bu slowly bowed down and bowed his hand to apologize.

"It turned out to be this. It is not necessary to be like this, for those who are the Lord should be able to observe people. It's not necessarily a bad thing to be wary of us. ”

"No, the public station has always been with me and has gone through countless ups and downs, I really shouldn't be like this."

"Alas, then let me ask you, do you still doubt Chen Gong now?"

"No, no!"

"If you won't, why apologize? Alright, I'm going to arrange for the generals to do the work. ”

……

In the council hall, Lu Bu was alone at this time, facing the empty door, thinking about Chen Gongcai's words.

"Bong-first." Diao Chan suddenly walked out from behind.

In military affairs, she knew that it was inconvenient for her to participate as a woman, but Lu Bu insisted on taking her with her since the last time.

Therefore, even if it is a military discussion, Diao Chan is waiting in the inner hall.

"The public station didn't blame me, but I felt even more guilty."

"Mr. Gongtai is well aware of righteousness and is a rare loyal person. Feng Xian does not need to blame himself, as long as he does not accept his words in the future, being a wise lord is the best reward for Mr. ”

Lu Bu turned around and hugged Diao Chan in his arms with his hand.

Diao Chan is no longer the young girl she was at the beginning, she was hugged by Lu Bu like this, she also pressed her hand on Lu Bu's heart, and closed her eyes meekly.

"Fengxian, I forgot about it before, but I only remembered it when I saw General Hou here today. I heard that Duan Xuan went to assassinate him not long ago? ”

"Yes," Lu Bu let go of Diao Chan and said with a serious expression, "But Zhang Liao searched the whole city and failed to capture it." And...... That person may not have been heard from in a long time, and I fear that they may have some kind of plot. ”

Diao Chan didn't speak, but her beautiful eyes were on top of her brows.
