After the cold winter, in the blink of an eye, the new year has arrived.

The spring breeze blows, and there is no longer the biting cold wind.

On the vast plains, 100,000 tiger and wolf soldiers in bright armor stood quietly, standing in place, like a petrified statue.

"The king has arrived!"

With a loud transmission, the soldiers' bodies stood up more straight, their eyes 'brushed' the ground, and they all looked at the front of the general.

On the high platform erected, a tall and burly figure slowly stepped forward.

In the face of 200,000 pairs of eyes, Lu Bu, who was wearing the armor of the python king, was particularly calm, and he couldn't remember how many times he had done such a pre-war mobilization.

Standing on the high platform, the soldiers below are densely packed, black and pressed, as small as ants.

Lu Bu overlooked the circle, pressed his left hand on his waist and held a sword, and his right hand clenched his fist against his waist, and his voice was like a bell: "Since the moth thief rebellion, the world has been divided, and the princes of various places have been divided, and they have long been disobedient and do not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven. Lone was entrusted by the first emperor and fought in the south and north for decades, barely keeping the Han dynasty. ”

"Among you, there are veterans who have followed Lone for many years, and there are also new soldiers who have joined the group.

"For example, if there is only one place left in Xuzhou today, once it is recovered, it will be possible to complete the great cause of unification, and at that time, there will be no more wars and wars in the world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and you can also go home to share the family with your parents, wives and daughters."

"Now Lone only asks, all the soldiers, are you willing to go with Lone to fight this last battle!"

Lu Bu was full of energy, and a loud shout reached the ears of all the soldiers.

"Fight! War! War! ”

The blood in the chests of all the soldiers was already surging, raising the weapons in their hands, shouting and roaring, and it shook the sky.

Subsequently, under the command of Lu Bu, the 100,000-strong army set off from Yanzhou and went straight to Xuzhou.

…………

In just a few days, the news of Lu Bu's attack spread throughout the counties of Xuzhou.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Decades of conquest have already made Lu Bu's name powerful all over the world. All the powerful princes who confronted him were all defeated one after another. Now that he learned that Lu Bu had set foot in Xuzhou, not only the people of Xuzhou, but even officials from all over the country were panicked.

After all, there is a lesson from Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou, and no one knows whether Lu Bu will repeat his old tricks.

And Lu Bu, at the suggestion of his son-in-law Guo Jia, focused on attacking the heart and sent a letter to Xuzhou.

But all those who surrender will not be killed, and all local officials will still be retained according to their original positions, and if there is a person who is welcomed by the lord in the open city, he will be promoted to the court and rewarded.

In addition, all the soldiers of the Lu army were not allowed to encroach on the people's fields, let alone loot money. Otherwise, it will be dealt with in accordance with military law.

Under the issuance of the text, all parts of Xuzhou are looking forward to the wind.

In just two months, 34 counties in Xuzhou, including Pengcheng, Langya, and Donghai, all fell into the hands of Lu Bu.

Xuzhou City, the state pastoral house.

"Rubbish, it's just a bunch of rubbish!"

In the empty hall, looking at the battle reports received one after another in his hand, even Liu Bei, who was gentle and benevolent enough on weekdays, had a dark face and couldn't help but scold angrily.

He originally thought that relying on Xuzhou's troops and money, he could hold out for three years and five years, but it was only two months, and half of Xuzhou's territory had fallen.

Just the day before yesterday, the generals of the Lu army, who were marching in five directions, successfully joined Lu Bu in Pengcheng.

100,000 troops gathered in Pengcheng, and the next target was the main city of Xuzhou, where Liu Bei was located.

Over the years, Liu Bei has been carefully operating in Xuzhou, although he has won the support of the people and accumulated a reputation for benevolence, but the local scholars in Xuzhou do not recognize Liu Bei at all.

Take the previous crusade against Lu Bu as an example, Liu Bei ran around, even if he said that he was dry, he couldn't borrow soldiers and horses from those scholars, and all he brought was the belongings he had accumulated over the years.

If it weren't for the support of the Mi and Chen families, Liu Bei, an outsider, would have been driven out of Xuzhou by the scholars.

"My lord, the generals and adults have arrived and are waiting for you in the front hall." The guard Chen Zhi said respectfully outside.

"Got it." Liu Bei said lightly, quickly calmed down, walked out of the door, and walked towards the front hall of the meeting.

When they came to the front hall, everyone in the hall saw Liu Bei coming, and they got up and saluted, and shouted: "I've seen the lord (envoy)!" ”

Liu Bei raised his hand and signaled that everyone didn't need to be polite.

They all sat down again, and Chen Deng, who was engaged in Xuzhou, found that Liu Bei's eyes were red, and couldn't help asking, "Envoy, why are your eyes so red and swollen?" ”

Hearing this, the others also looked at Liu Bei, and as Chen Deng said, Liu Bei's eyes were indeed very red and swollen.

"Envoy, take care of your body, you can't fall down at this juncture!"

"Lord, there's nothing to cry about, it's a big deal, let's fight him to the death!"

"The lord has a good rest, with me waiting here, Xuzhou will be safe."

Everyone said a word, and they persuaded Liu Bei one after another.

Listening to everyone's persuasion, Liu Bei shook his head slightly, bowed to everyone, and sighed and said: "Thank you for your concern, you are not crying for yourself, but crying for the Han family!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Someone asked.

Liu Bei said slowly.

"Lu Bu is called the king, and his heart of disobedience is clearly revealed, if he takes Xuzhou again, he will inevitably use this to force the Son of Heaven to take the throne. It's a small matter to lose Xuzhou, but if I let Lu Bu, a thief, succeed in usurping the throne and destroy the 400-year-old society of the Han Dynasty, I will be a sinner through the ages!

Every time I think of this, my heart is like a knife, and I can't sleep at night......"

As he spoke, tears flowed down again.

When everyone saw this, they were also touched.

"Although you can rest assured, you are so benevolent and generous, even if you risk your life, you will definitely help you defend this Xuzhou land!" Cao Bao, the general in Xuzhou City, said decisively, and he had the ruthlessness to fight Lu Bu to the end.

Since the death of Guan and Zhang, Liu Bei's generals are in short supply, Cao Bao is the head of the Cao family, a big family in Xuzhou, and he is very powerful in Xuzhou.

"That's right, whether it's for Xuzhou or for the Han family, we must not lose to Lu Bu!" The father and son of the Chen family also expressed their attitude on this.

"Lord, I am willing to use all my family resources to recruit troops for you!"

Mi Zhu, the God of Wealth, also spoke.

"Thank you, thank you......"

Liu Bei had tears in his eyes, and he was grateful to everyone, when he looked at the silver-white figure in the hall, the latter also met Liu Bei's gaze, he stood up and clenched his fists: "Although a certain is not talented, but if there is a useful place, let the envoy drive it!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Liu Bei shouted three good words in a row, and with 20,000 Youzhou cavalry to help, his chances of winning were at least half greater.

Everyone was angry with the enemy, Liu Bei also had a little more confidence in his heart, he looked at everyone and united them together: "With your help, Lu Bu has nothing to worry about!" ”
