Chapter 3 Confusing the False with the True
Than dawn, the white gate upstairs.
Chen Gong said worriedly: "I wonder if the prince can meet Zang Ba smoothly?" ”
Zhang Liao was silent, looking at Cao Jun outside the city, his expression became more and more nervous.
"Pass my general order, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Cao Jun moved.
Cao Cao personally led the Chinese army straight to the White Gate Tower, and the military flag was waving in the wind, extremely arrogant.
"It's coming so fast."
Chen Gong's eyes were unusually cold, and he said with a strange smile: "Cao Thief is going to make a mistake again today, General Wenyuan is busy first, let's go and see how General Gao Shun is progressing?" ”
Cao Cao's head wind disease is very clear to him, and he can't be stimulated.
In the face of the tide of Cao Jun, Chen Gong turned a blind eye.
"Kill the thief and save Pi"
"Kill the thief and save Pi"
A shout came from the barracks in the city, and the huge barracks were crowded with water.
On the stage, Gao Shun raised his arms and shouted: "The prince is compassionate, and those who volunteer to join the glorious guard team and protect their fathers and villagers will be rewarded with two yuan each." ”
In front of the steps, more than a dozen large boxes filled with copper coins are eye-catching.
People are greedy, all the time.
Who can stand the naked temptation of such money, besides, joining the army under heavy rewards, and Bo has a reputation as a brave man, and today it has been rumored in the city that Wei Xu and others fled Cao Cao, and they didn't want to be beheaded, and none of them were returned.
There are also rumors: Cao Cao remembered that his old father was killed in Xuzhou, and he had slaughtered dozens of cities, leaving no chickens and dogs, and it was inhumane.
"I'm willing to enlist in the army!"
"I, and I..."
All of a sudden, most of the able-bodied men volunteered to join the Glorious Guard, they didn't want their wives and children and mothers to die in the chaos of the army, and they still had money to take them, such a good thing, but I had never heard of such a good thing, and when the soldiers were still deducted from their salaries.
Of course, there are also a group of ruffians and hooligans, outlaws who want to make money from it, and Gao Shun will not refuse to come.
Chen Gong's heart was extremely soothed, and he said secretly: The prince's plan has worked, and with the help of tens of thousands of people to defend the city, it is not a problem for Xiapi to hold on for half a month.
It's just that the sad Wei Xu and the others died and were at the mercy of Lu Bu, and when they went out of the city last night, Zhang Liao and the others went to chase the rebels, and they obviously threw the corpses of Wei Xu and others out, one was to confuse the public and cover Lu Bu. The second is to arouse public anger and break the boat.
"Sir, the rest is a training soldier, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go up to the city tower for three or five days."
Gao Shun sighed.
Chen Gong replied in a low voice: "I'm afraid I can't wait, I can't shoot arrows as a shield, I really can't block the door and throw wood and rolling stones." ”
Gao Shun's heart was cold, this is undoubtedly to let these people be meat shields, but now they have to do this, only by retaining a regular new force can they keep Xiapi.
Gao Shun nodded in memory and immediately ordered action.
Ju
"Junhou, will Zang Ba come?"
Lu Zhong said softly from the side.
Two hundred cavalry had already sealed off the village, and the messenger sent out to estimate that the letter should also be delivered to Zang Ba.
"He had to come!"
Lu Bu said confidently, looking up at the half of the sunshine revealed in the dark clouds, and he was in a good mood.
When Lu Bu finished speaking, his heart was extremely empty, and he relied entirely on his personal intuition.
He is gambling, one, the ancient etiquette, now Zang Ba has not surrendered to Cao Cao, nominally he is still Lu Bu's subordinate, and he is trapped in the next pit, he did not send troops to rescue, and he has lost etiquette. Second, the news that Lu Bu passed to Zang Ba was too domineering, and Cao Cao wanted to kill him.
"Junhou, Junhou, Zang Ba is here!"
The wolf rider said hurriedly.
"How many people came?"
"Many, at least two thousand!"
Lu Bu snorted coldly: "It seems that this Zang Ba is not confused!" Let Zang Ba come in and see me, and inform the wolf guards to let me go. ”
Lu Zhongxin was shocked and said: "Prince, in case ......"
"Xiao Zhongzi, it's not that you have forgotten how Ben Hou killed Jiang Hu's tens of thousands of coalition troops by riding alone."
Arrogance and arrogance, this is Lu Bu's innate nature, if he talks about martial arts alone, he is also worthy of it, but when he thinks of Lu Bu's indecision before, he can't wait to give himself a few slaps.
After a while, Zang Ba walked in with hundreds of elite soldiers.
The two looked at each other, and Lu Bu took the lead in speaking: "Bold Zang Ba, I haven't seen this Hou yet!" ”
Zang Ba's murderous aura flashed, and he casually arched his hand and said: "The prince is not in Xiapi to resist Cao Cao, what are you doing in my Langya country?" ”
"Come to your rescue!"
Lu Bu said loudly, for fear that others would not hear it.
"Haha..., help me, Junhou is joking with Zang! You might as well say it bluntly, Cao Cao has sent someone to send a letter, promising me to be the prime minister of Langya. ”
Zang Ba looked at Lu Bu with a smile, and felt more and more that this Lu Bu was extremely stupid at the moment.
Lu Bu was unmoved, slowly took out a yellow scarf, and said in detail: "Poor old father Cao Cao, if he is still alive now, how happy he should be, but it's a pity, this person's life is thin, and he has no life to enjoy happiness." ”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"I heard that Cao Cao has slaughtered Xuzhou and other places, all the big and small officials have been spared, and the words are for the revenge of the old father, although General Zang Ba is not the remnant of the Yellow Turban, but he is a thief in Mount Tai, after all, he is a thief, how can Cao Cao keep you, this matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, Cao Cao is practice makes perfect."
Zang Ba's face was pale, he had also heard about it, but he didn't think about it, and now Lu Bu said that he was a little frightened.
Zang Ba Zhengse said: "The prince and the marquis don't want to intimidate Zang, even if Cao Cao hates the Xuzhou officials, he may not be able to tolerate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Zang, besides, if the prince is sent to Cao Cao, Zang's high-ranking official Houlu will naturally come naturally." ”
"The general was born as a thief in Taishan, and he has a great hatred for killing Cao Cao, Zhang Min is a thief in Taishan, and he is in the same vein as you, at this time, I am afraid that the general has forgotten about this, as for wanting to keep Benhou, but I don't know how sure General Zangba is to keep Benhou."
Lu Bu suddenly became murderous, and an invisible coercion hit Zang Ba's face, almost making him retreat.
"Junhou Wuyi Zang has already been taught, but under the chaotic arrows, if he doesn't die, he will be crippled, Cao Cao can hope that Junhou will die early."
Zang Baqiang said with a smile.
Lu Zhong served the tea and presented it separately.
"If the general seeks his own death, he can't complain that Benhou doesn't save you, Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Cao Cao clan, has been stationed in Donghai County, if he intends to accept you, why would he guard against you, you are so self-conscious, come, send off!"
Lu Bu said with regret, and said to himself: "I heard that Cao Cao likes wives, General Zang Ba should be careful, I heard that the insiders have the color of the country, don't forget the lessons of Zhang Xiu's past, I will not send it far." ”
Zang Ba was getting up to leave, and when he heard what Lu Bu said, he gritted his teeth angrily.
"Report, Qi Yu Junhou, General Yuan sent someone to discuss the major matter of sending troops to Xudu."
Lu Zhongnu scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes, how can such a major military event be explained in front of outsiders." ”
Zang Ba didn't want to stay longer, so he walked out, and happened to see a strategist walking into the house under the leadership of the wolf guard.
"Do you know this person?"
Zang Ba asked the lieutenant general beside him in a low voice.
The lieutenant lowered his voice and replied: "It's a little similar to that Xu Yu." ”
"Really?"
"If you don't have time to look closely, you can't tell the truth from the fake?"
Inside the house, Lu Bu was half-lying with his eyes closed, and said with a smile: "Zang Ba is abnormal!" ”
The strategist-like man replied, "Suspicious." ”
"If I was suspicious, I believed a little, and sent someone to sneak into the city one step ahead of Zang Ba and spread the news of Cao Cao's massacre of the people and officials of Xuzhou."
"No!"
As for whether Cao Cao really slaughtered the land of Xuzhou, Lu Bu has no way to archaeology at all, but he has seen it in the history of the wild in his previous life, killing hundreds of thousands of people, causing Xuzhou to plummet, sparsely populated, and economically depressed.
But Lu Bu didn't expect that Cao Cao really did it, but his hands and feet were clean and neat, and the news hadn't spread yet.
