"It seems that I underestimated Liu Bei!"

Chai Sang, in the big tent of Wu Jun, Lu Xun was a little worried.

In recent days, the Han army's tidal wave of offensives has made them a little unable to resist.

The three-layer defense ring was directly broken into two layers, and it has directly threatened the city.

"What I'm worried about is that he will continue to send troops to come, the lord is now being dragged on the front line in Hefei by Cao Cao's army, and we have no backup now!"

Huang Gai sat on the side, also worried.

The 20,000 troops he brought were originally intended to be taken by surprise and catch the other party by surprise.

But nowadays, it's not enough for defense!

"By the way, Governor, has there been a response to the letter you sent?" Huang Gai asked suddenly.

"Not yet!" Lu Xun shook his head slowly.

He had a bad feeling, according to his expectations, Xu Tian would try his best to recover the two lost counties as soon as he returned to Xiangyang.

But the first thing I didn't expect was that the other party didn't make the slightest move.

Not only that, but the troops sent by Cao Cao to the Hefei front did not withdraw.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't be in such a difficult situation today.

Lu Xun couldn't figure out what they wanted to do.

Therefore, he took the initiative to write a letter, asking to unite with Xu Tian and fight against Liu Bei together.

In this way, if Xu Tian agrees, the siege of Chaisang can be solved immediately.

Even if the other party refuses, he can at least determine the other party's thoughts and make the next step.

"Ahh Now I can only hold on, as long as I block Liu Bei's offensive, the next will be much better! ”

"That's all there is to it!"

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and a general in armor and a white cloak burst in angrily.

"Grand Duke, I need an explanation!" The person who came had a gloomy face, and he did not have the slightest timidity because of Lu Xun's official position.

"Gu Chong! What do you mean? A cold light flashed in Lu Xun's eyes.

Huang Gai on the side looked at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing why.

"What do you mean? Isn't this what I should ask the Duke?

You let people indiscriminately forcibly collect my Gu family's grain, and you also seized most of our business in Chaisang.

Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this? ”

Gu Chong snorted coldly and squinted at Lu Xun.

He had also just returned from the front when he learned the news.

If it weren't for his usual good network, he would have been kept in the dark.

"This matter, after the war was won, the Lord Guild personally explained it to you!

Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

Lu Xun's answer was obviously a little weak-hearted, after all, he was the first to lose.

And he also knows that such a big thing must not be hidden.

That's why Sun Quan was brought out.

"What a reason! I wonder how the lord would reward you if he knew you were doing this! ”

Gu Chong showed a mocking look on his face, since the other party used Sun Quan as a shield, it was useless to say more.

With a cold snort again, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Bold!" Lu Xun's face turned pale, and he started shooting.

"Gu Chong, you dare to talk to me like this, don't you know that military law is strict!"

"All I know is that this matter won't end so easily!"

After speaking, Gu Chong didn't stay anymore and left here directly.

The quarrel between the two also made Huang Gai understand something about the matter.

Now that the war is tight, the rear supplies are insufficient, and during the war, everything can be lacking, but not food.

Once the food and grass are lost, the war cannot continue.

Therefore, Lu Xun should have adopted a local solution.

In this way, the Gu family, the largest business in Chaisang City, naturally bore the brunt.

"Dadudu, this matter is indeed some..."Huang Gai hesitated a little and did not finish.

"I know, I know!" Lu Xun looked helpless.

"This matter is also forced to be helpless, the military situation is like fire, if the stability of logistics cannot be guaranteed, it is not as simple as offending the Gu family.

As long as this battle is won in the end, we don't have to worry, the lord will come forward to solve it! ”

Lu Xun thinks so, and he can only think like this.

Between offending the Gu family and losing Chaisang, he chose the former without hesitation.

Huang Gai sighed lightly and fell silent...

…

Gu Chong left the big tent angrily, and as soon as he returned to the barracks, he saw a middle-aged man who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Gu Ping? What are you doing here? Gu Chong strode forward and grabbed the other party.

Gu Ping is the steward of the Gu family, and he is usually responsible for everything in his father.

Now that he is here, there must be another accident at home!

"Major General!" The first time Gu Ping saw Gu Chong, he knelt down on one knee and showed excitement on his face.

"You can count it back, do you know the Gu family..."

"I know it all! How's my father doing? "Gu Chong mainly cares about his father.

"Since the city property was sealed, the lord has been in a hurry and fell ill!"

"What did you say?" The corners of Gu Chong's mouth twitched.

"Major General, do you know how difficult it is for me to come to see you?

Do you know what it's like to be bullied at home?

We..."

Gu Ping seemed to have been aggrieved for a long time, and at this moment, it was like opening the floodgates to release water, venting towards Gu Chong.

"Let's go! Go home! ”

Gu Chong's face was extremely ugly, and he turned around and walked out.

As if he had expected this to be the case, a sneer appeared at the corner of Gu Ping's mouth.

He remembered all the people who bullied him at the beginning.

Just as the two of them raised their feet and were about to leave, the deputy general who had been paying attention here hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Gu Chong.

"General! It is a felony to leave the barracks without the permission of the Grand Governor! ”

"Get out of the way!"

"General!"

"If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you!" Gu Chong's eyes were red.

In the end, under the helpless gaze of the adjutant general, Gu Chong left the barracks and went straight home...

…

Chaisang City, Gu Family.

Gu Chong pulled the reins of the horse fiercely, the war horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and stopped in front of the gate of Gu's house.

When the servant in front of the door saw the comer, his eyes flashed and he immediately greeted him.

Turning over and dismounting, handing over the war horse to the servants, Gu Chong hurried into the mansion.

"Now it's okay, the major general is back! Now, those who don't know whether to live or die are going to be unlucky! ”

The servant looked at Gu Chong's back with an excited face, his eyes full of envy.

Without making any stops, Gu Chong walked straight to his father's room.

Pushing the door in, as soon as he stepped into the room, Gu Chong saw the two of them.

My father sat at the table with a smile on his face, talking to the people next to him.

After seeing Gu Chong come in, he beckoned to him.

"Chong'er is back, come on, come on..."

Frowning slightly, Gu Chong didn't think about why his father wasn't sick.

His gaze fell on the man beside his father.

"Who are you?" Gu Chong was sure that he had never seen this person.

And those who can sit with their father and talk and laugh are definitely not ordinary people.

"In Xialu Tianba, he is a businessman!"

Hearing this name, Gu Chong's eyes flashed...
