The Xuzhou army suddenly rushed to the right and killed those who refused to follow Lu Bu.

Cao Jun, who was standing on the left, hugged each other with panicked expressions, and looked at the bloody lance in Xuzhoujun's hand with fear.

"You don't have to worry." Lu Bu rode up to them and said in a calm tone: "I didn't want to kill you, let alone kill you. Since you have decided to serve me, you will be my soldiers from now on. The soldiers who follow me in the southern and northern wars, not only will I not kill, but I will do everything I can to make your life very nourishing. ”

His eyes swept around the faces of this group of Cao Jun, and Lu Bu said, "Don't bring weapons first, follow the team forward." ”

Hundreds of Cao Jun came back to their senses and quickly agreed.

Lu Bu and the others did not bury the body.

This is still under Cao Cao's rule, and they are just passing through here.

The corpse on the ground was handed over to Cao Jun, who came later.

Walking with Sun Ce, Ling Cao looked at Lu Bu's back, although he already belonged to Xuzhou, he was still shocked in his heart.

In the past, he only knew that Lu Bu was strong, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.

rushed to the thousands of Cao troops alone, not only was no one able to stop him, but he had not killed a lot.

"What are you thinking?" Ling Cao's face was full of astonishment, and Sun Ce asked him.

"I was thinking that Chu Hou's martial arts were so exquisite, he actually killed two Cao generals in one round, looking at the world, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop him anymore." Ling Cao replied: "Even if he is only single-handed, he can definitely do something in this world." ”

Sun Ce ignored him, but shouted to the side: "Bring a soldier who has just surrendered." ”

A Xuzhou soldier walked to the back of the line and beckoned a soldier wearing Cao Jun's armor to step forward.

When he came to Sun Ce's side, the soldiers who were brought up lowered their heads tremblingly.

Looking at him, Sun Ce asked, "Who are the two people who brought you over?" ”

"Back to the general, it's Cai Yang and Qin Qi." The soldier replied.

Cai Yang and Qin Qi were not very famous, Sun Ce nodded: "It turned out that they were just two unknown generals, no wonder they died so quickly." ”

"General......" The soldier replied timidly: "Actually, the two of them have a lot of ability, especially Cai Yang, who has also killed many local generals in the past......"

"What you're saying is true?" Sun Ce asked the soldier in surprise.

The soldier replied: "I will never dare to tell half a lie, and if the general finds out that I am lying, he can just deal with it." ”

Sun Ce waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to stand back.

When the soldiers left, he said to Ling Cao: "Chu Hou killed two enemy generals in a battle, if the news reaches Cao Cao's ears, I don't know what will happen to him." ”

"I remember when I fought with Chu Hou, I didn't see him so strong." Ling Cao said: "But this time, I feel that he is so strong that it is difficult for people to even look up. In the past, as long as we raised our heads, we could still see clearly. Today's Chu Hou, even if he raises his head and stands on tiptoe, he still feels so tall that he can't see clearly. ”

"How can Chu Hou be able to see it?" Sun Ce said: "Don't think so much, just follow Chu Hou, we will definitely be able to achieve something in the future." ”

"This time the Marquis of Chu went to Hebei, will General Sun go with him?" Ling Cao asked Sun Ce.

Sun Ce replied: "I will definitely go with him, Hebei is dangerous, although Chu Hou's ability is to the sky, but he crossed the river alone, I still don't think it's safe." ”

Ling Cao didn't say anything, just nodded.

Walking in front of the two of them, Lu Bu glanced back: "What are you two muttering about?" ”

"Didn't say anything." Sun Ce smiled: "I'm talking about the courage of Chuhou, there is no opponent in the world." ”

"What do you mean by having an opponent?" Lu Bu replied: "There is no opponent in the first place, okay?" ”

"Chu Hou is right, there is indeed no one in the world who is an opponent." Sun Ce replied: "General Ling asked me just now, saying that he was going to Hebei this time, would the Marquis of Chu take me." ”

"How did you get there?" glanced at Ling Cao, then his gaze stayed on Sun Ce's face for a moment, and Lu Bu looked back at the front.

"I will definitely cross the river with Chu Hou." Sun Ce said: "Although my skills are not very good, I will definitely follow the Marquis of Chu across the river." ”

"Why?" Lu Bu smiled.

"Although Chu Hou is brave and unrivaled in the world, entering the enemy army is like entering a no-man's land." Sun Ce said: "However, a person's ability is limited after all, and the Yuan army on the north bank of the Yellow River is not as few as the previous Cao army. Chu Hou went over alone, which was indeed uneasy. “

"There's nothing to worry about." Lu Bu said: "If Yuan Shao dares to do anything to me, I will make him unforgettable in his life." ”

If it weren't for everything he saw and heard in Dangshan a few days ago, and counting Lu Bu's killing of Cai Yang and Qin Qi this time, Sun Ce would really think that he was talking too arrogantly.

But after experiencing this, Sun Ce would never think that Lu Bu was just arrogant for no reason.

Lu Bu had every capital to say these words.

With the strength of one person to kill in and out of the enemy army, even dozens of Cao Cao's fierce generals killed together, but they almost failed to stop him.

Looking at the world, where are his opponents?

When they met Qin Qi and Cai Yang, Lu Bu and the others were not very far from Yanjin.

In the afternoon of the same day, they arrived at the Yanjin ferry.

Hearing that Lu Bu was coming, Zhou Yu came with a group of generals to greet him.

Seeing Lu Bu from afar, he trotted over.

Bowing to Lu Bu, Zhou Yu asked, "Why is Chu Hou here?" ”

"Can't I come to Yanjin?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"It's not." Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Zhou Yu hurriedly replied, "I'm just wondering, why did Chu Hou suddenly come here." Yeonjin will be a battlefield ......"

"Gong Jin actually knows better than me that this place will not become a battlefield." Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao has withdrawn from the army, and Yuan Shao will not offend me alone." This place cannot be a battlefield at any time. ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "It's still Chu Hou who can see it thoroughly." ”

"If I can't see through, won't I be fooled by you every day?" Lu Bu said with a smile: "This time I came to Yanjin, I came to send money to Gongjin. ”

"Send money?" Zhou Yu was stunned: "What kind of money to give?" ”

"Earlier, you asked General Ling to send twenty buckets of gold beads to Pengcheng, and I have ordered the treasury to be exchanged for copper coins." Lu Bu said to Zhou Yu: "You got the golden beads, of course you have to hand them over to you to reward the soldiers." ”

"The golden bead was sent to Pengcheng, and it was originally intended to be dedicated to the Marquis of Chu." Zhou Yu replied: "Why did Chu Hou send it back again?" ”

"It's something you got from me, and if I keep it, won't you scold me in your heart?" Lu Bu smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "I sent it over, it should have been expected by you." If I don't send it over, you may not say anything, but will your generals be unhappy? ”

Looking around at the generals who were following Zhou Yu, Lu Bu asked with a smile, "Generals, yes or no?" ”

In one sentence, he shocked the generals.

All the generals looked at each other, all of them looking terrified, and none of them dared to reply.

"Why do you look like this?" Lu Bu smiled and said to the generals: "Don't worry about what I said. I'm just saying it casually......"

Although he said so, Zhou Yu and the generals still had uneasiness on their faces.

Sun Ce said on the side: "Chu Hou sent the money back, but if you want me to say, Gong Jin will at least give half of it to Chu Hou." After all, Gong Jin is a general of Xuzhou, if all the income is exclusive......"

"Birfu is right." Sun Ce gave a step, and Zhou Yu hurriedly said, "I'll send half of it to the treasury." ”

"Gong Jin has a heart, but I'm afraid that other generals won't." Lu Bu said with a smile.

The generals who followed Zhou Yu said one after another: "Chu Hou laughed, the benefits should have been handed over to the treasury, what can we refuse?" ”

"Since you really give some to the treasury, I don't want half of it, just give me two achievements." Lu Bu said: "Don't look back and say that I was too ruthless and took too much. ”

"Chu Hou said so, we don't have to bear it." Zhou Yu replied: "It's better to give half of it." ”

"Gongjin doesn't have to argue with me about whether to give half or two." Lu Bu said: "Just do what I say." ”

Lu Bu didn't plan to continue to dwell on this topic, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to agree.

When he came to Yanjin, Zhou Yu planned to arrange accommodation for Lu Bu and the others first, but Lu Bu insisted on going to the river bank to take a look at the Yuan family's army opposite.

The Yanjin ferry connects both sides of the Yellow River, and standing at the ferry, you can see the Yuan family army on the other side at a glance.

Lü Bu dismounted and accompanied by the generals to the Yanjin ferry.

Standing at the ferry, looking at the Yuan army camp on the other side, Lu Bu asked Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, are there any boats here that can cross the river?" ”

"The ships were requisitioned by us." Zhou Yu replied: "If Chu Hou calls, if there are more, three or five hundred can still be put together." ”

"You don't need three or five hundred, one small boat is enough." Lu Bu said: "First send someone to cross the river, tell Yuan Shao, and say that I want to see him." ”

"Chu Hou wants to see Yuan Shao?" Zhou Yu was taken aback: "Where will you meet?" ”

"It's on the other side." Lu Bu smiled slightly: "I want Yuan Benchu to come here, but he absolutely refuses." Since he doesn't have that guts, why should I be strong? ”

"Chu Hou understands Yuan Shao, but I don't know if Yuan Shao can comprehend this painstaking effort." Zhou Yu said: "If he can't understand it, Chu Hou's trip to the north shore this time will be dangerous. I think it's better to choose a small boat, and it is safer for Chu Hou and Yuan Shao to meet in the center of the river. “

"Meet him in the middle of the river, and he won't come." Lu Bu pointed to the opposite bank and said, "It's just across the riverbank, but don't get too close to the heavenly army." Otherwise, it will be more troublesome to kill in and out. ”

"But I still think that Chu Hou is really too risky to do this." Zhou Yu still wanted to persuade.

Sun Ce said on the side: "Gongjin don't worry too much, I'll accompany Chu Hou over." ”

Even Sun Ce agreed with Lu Bu crossing the river, so Zhou Yu didn't say much.

He said to Sun Ce and Lu Bu: "In that case, I will first send someone across the river to ask to see Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao agreed to meet, it was not too late for Chu Hou to cross the river. ”

Lu Bu nodded, and Zhou Yu gave an order to the guards behind him: "Send someone to cross the river to see Yuan Shao immediately, and say that the Marquis of Chu wants to meet him on the other side of the river." ”

The guard received the order and was about to leave, when a man stepped forward and said, "Send a messenger at will, I don't think Yuan Shao will necessarily agree." Instead of tossing back and forth, it is better to send a good argument in the past, even if Yuan Shao hesitates, it is still possible to persuade him. ”

The person who spoke was also an official in Jiangdong.

He followed Zhou Yu to Yanjin, and since everything was Zhou Yu's words, he didn't have any sense of existence here.

This person's name is Gu Yong, and he is also a wise man.

Gu Yong opened his mouth and said that it was not appropriate to send someone at random, and Zhou Yu asked, "What does Yuan Si mean ......?"

"Chu Hou has the heart to see Yuan Shao, I am willing to cross the river on my behalf and make an agreement with Yuan Shao." Gu Yong bowed to Lu Bu and recommended himself to see Yuan Shao.

Lu Bu nodded and asked Zhou Yu, "What does Gong Jin think?" ”

"Yuan Si is quick and wise, and he also has a strategy, he is indeed much stronger than others in the past to persuade Yuan Shao." Seeing that Lu Bu had the intention of agreeing, Zhou Yu took advantage of the situation to do a personal favor.

"Since Gongjin also said so, then Yuan Si will take a trip." Lu Bu said to Gu Yong: "But when talking to Yuan Shao, Yuan Si has to be careful. Yuan Shao is moody, I am sure that I can suppress him, you may not be. ”

"I remember all of Chu Hou's words." Gu Yong responded: "I will retire first, and after persuading Yuan Shao, I will come back to report to the Marquis of Chu." ”

"Hard work." Lu Bu arched his hand.

It didn't take long for a small boat to leave the riverbank.

The boat headed towards the north shore, and when it approached the shore, Lü Bu, Zhou Yu and others saw a group of Yuan soldiers surrounding it.

It was Gu Yong who took the boat to the shore.

He said a few words to Yuan Jun, and someone led him to Yuan Jun's barracks.

"Gong Jin thinks that Gu Yuansi, can you convince Yuan Shao?" Looking at everything that happened on the other side of the riverbank, Lu Bu asked Zhou Yu.

"Actually, I can't tell." Zhou Yu replied: "Gu Yuansian is a talent, but I haven't had much contact with him in the past. I don't know exactly how far he can get to do it. ”

"It looks like we'll have to wait for him to send the news back." Lu Bu pursed his lips.

Zhou Yu smiled and didn't say anything more.

Gu Yong went to the north shore and came to Yuan Shao's military camp under the custody of a group of Yuan soldiers.

Hearing that Lu Bu had sent someone to come, Yuan Shao was full of confusion.

He asked Gu Yong to be invited to the front.

Looking at Gu Yong, Yuan Shao asked, "Lu Fengxian sent you over, but to surrender?" ”

Yuan Shao opened his mouth to say surrender, and Gu Yong smiled slightly: "Could it be that Yuan Gong thinks that the Marquis of Chu will consider surrendering?" ”

"I have an army of hundreds of thousands, and I can cross the Yellow River with a single order." Yuan Shao said: "Could it be that Lu Fengxian is not afraid at all? ”

"What's there to be afraid of?" Gu Yong replied: "Across the Yellow River, Yuan Gong's army can't be used, and if it can be used, it won't wait until now to cross the river." ”

"Do you really think that I didn't cross the river because I couldn't do it?" Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone of voice was colder than just now.

"Of course." Gu Yong replied: "Yuan Gong didn't cross the river, there should be two concerns. The first is how the army will cross the river and whether it will be able to break through our army's defenses on the way across the river. Second, Yuan Gong is also waiting, in case Cao Cao retreats halfway, wouldn't Yuan Gong be harmed? ”

Looking at Gu Yong, Yuan Shao sneered: "What you said is a bit decent, but I feel that you are not here just to talk to me about this, there should be other things to say." ”

"Yuan Gong Mingjian, I came here to pass on the word on behalf of the Marquis of Chu." Gu Yong said: "The Marquis of Chu repelled Cao Cao twice in succession at Dangshan, and now it is impossible for Cao Cao to march into Xuzhou again in the short term. But Duke Yuan still led troops to be stationed here, and the second and third sons also led the army to the front line of Cangping. As for the sons of the Yuan family, they have already started a war with us. Chu Hou thinks that he and Yuan Gong have no past grievances, and the two families don't need to work so hard, they have the intention to turn hostility into jade silk, I don't know if Yuan Gong dares to meet him? ”

"Lu Feng wants to see me first?" Yuan Shao frowned slightly: "Where does he plan to meet me?" ”

Yuan Shao's calculation was that once Lu Bu proposed to ask him to cross the river to meet, he immediately refused.

But Gu Yong's answer made him a little confused: "Back to Yuan Gong's words, Chu Hou knew that Yuan Gong was unwilling to cross the river to meet, and considering that if they met in the heart of the river, Yuan Gong was also suspicious, after all, Chu Hou was brave and brave, and everyone knew it. If there were not a few more guards by Yuan Gong's side, his life would be in his hands. So he decided to meet Yuan Gong on the bank of the Yellow River, I don't know what Yuan Gong planned? ”

Lu Bu can be said to have made the biggest concession, and Yuan Shao has no reason to refuse, unless he really wants to be the enemy of Lu Bu to the end.

Yuan Shao frowned, he didn't think of how to respond to Gu Yong, Feng Ji said on the side: "Lord, Lu Bu is cunning, he sent someone here to make an appointment, but he must not agree." ”

"Is Yuan Tugong still holding a grudge against those twenty buckets of gold beads?" Before Yuan Shao could speak, Gu Yong smiled coldly: "Before I came here, I had already thought that I might be obstructed by Yuan Tugong, but I didn't expect it to be so logical, which surprised me." ”

Gu Yong mentioned twenty buckets of gold beads, and Feng Ji's face suddenly became even more ugly.

He glared at Gu Yong fiercely: "Do you think I'm here for those twenty buckets of gold beads?" ”

"Isn't Yuan Tugong for the twenty buckets of gold beads?" Feng Ji said indiscriminately: "Twenty buckets of gold beads is not a small amount, if Yuan Tugong says that he doesn't care, I'm afraid that no one will believe it." ”

Gu Yong took a bite of "twenty buckets of gold beads", and Feng Ji was already angry.

He was resolute and said to Gu Yong: "Could it be that you feel that I have a personal vendetta?" ”

"If it's not a personal vendetta of the communiqué, how can it be possible to prevent Duke Yuan from meeting with the Marquis of Chu?" Gu Yong said: "In order not to make Duke Yuan suspicious, Chu Hou was willing to come to the north bank of the Yellow River, which has already shown enough sincerity. If Yuan Gong didn't go to see each other, what would the people of the world think? ”

Turning to face Yuan Shao, Gu Yong bowed deeply: "Duke Yuan is a hero in the world, and so is the Marquis of Chu." It is understandable for heroes to meet each other, not to mention that Chu Hou also came to the north shore on purpose. If Yuan Gong resigned, I was afraid that he would be laughed at by the world. ”
