Lü Bu led his army to intercept Cao Cao at Dangshan for the second time, but neither side got any benefits.

The thunderbolts and crossbows brought by Cao Cao caused some casualties to the air force under Lü Bu.

And Lu Bu and Zhao Yun made a fuss among Cao's army, which made Cao Cao suffer a lot.

was frightened by Lu Bu, Cao Cao couldn't afford to get sick, and he yelled all day long with a headache.

The lord had fallen, and although Guo Jia and the others were unwilling, they had to order to leave.

Even Cao Cao is sick, who dares to take responsibility and let the army continue to conquer Lu Bu here?

No one dared to take responsibility, and the only option Cao Jun could make was to withdraw.

On the way back to Xudu, Cao Cao was shouting every day with a headache.

When he returned to Xudu, the Cao family invited a famous doctor to treat him for a headache.

There are many famous doctors, but none of them can give him a complete cure, at most they only prescribe some medicines, and instruct them to take medicine on time to relieve the headache.

After a few days, Cao Cao's headache finally improved.

The headache was relieved, and he asked Guo Jia and others to be invited to the hospital bed.

Guo Jia, Xun You and others sat next to his sickbed, looking at Cao Cao with concerned eyes.

"I thought that the second expedition against Lu Bu would completely annihilate his air force, but I didn't expect Lu Bu to be so brave that he almost took my head." Cao Cao sighed and said, "A character like Lu Bu, I should have destroyed him earlier......"

"Don't think too much, the headache will be better, and if you think too much, I'm afraid it will be heavier." Guo Jia persuaded: "Although Lu Bu is strong, how can he deal with thousands of troops and horses with his own strength?" When the Lord is safe, we will send troops to fight again. ”

"Did you let Zixiao come back?" Cao Cao asked.

"I've sent an order, and I should be on my way back at this time." Guo Jia said: "As soon as our army withdraws, Yuan Shao will definitely withdraw, and this crusade against Xuzhou will be in vain." ”

Cao Cao looked up at Fang Liang and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao is right, I evacuated Dangshan this time, and Yuan Shao will also evacuate later." The coalition that was finally brought about is about to fall short. ”

Guo Jia and others were also embarrassed.

In order to defeat Lü Bu, they deliberately developed thunderbolts and crossbows, and although they suppressed Lü Bu's air force, they eventually had to retreat because Lü Bu was too brave.

Lü Bu returned to Dangshan County, only stationed for one day, and led the army back to Pengcheng early the next morning.

It was not very far from Dangshan to Pengcheng, but in four or five days, they came to the outside of Pengcheng.

Knowing that Lu Bu was back, Chen Gong welcomed him out of the city gate.

Seeing Lu Bu from afar, he led a group of officials to greet him.

"I heard that the Marquis of Chu won a complete victory against Cao Cao, and I and the officials of Pengcheng specially congratulated the Marquis of Chu!" Chen Gong bowed down and bowed to Lu Bu.

The officials also saluted.

"What is there to congratulate, it's just to be expected." Lu Bu raised his hand and motioned for Chen Gong and the others to stand up straight: "I already knew before I set off that this time to block Cao Cao would definitely be successful." ”

"Chu Hou is brave and martial, not comparable to ordinary laymen." An official behind Chen Gong said: "Cao Cao is so arrogant, if he wants to fight Xuzhou, is he not going to end up running away?" ”

"That's for sure." Lu Bu was also not modest, and said to everyone: "From now on, you just follow me, as long as I am still here, no one in this world can do anything to Xuzhou." ”

Lu Bu said with confidence, and all the officials echoed it, but Chen Gong stood aside and did not say anything.

After following Lu Bu for so many years, he still knows the temper of this Chu Hou very well.

It's just that since the Battle of Xiapi was over, he found that Lu Bu's temperament had changed greatly.

Lu Bu, who used to be self-serving, can now listen to other people's opinions, but occasionally he will have disputes with some opinions that contradict him.

Chen Gong once had a different opinion from him.

But Lu Bu's speech now is completely different from the past, although he has different opinions, he can always say the truth, so that Chen Gong doesn't know how to convince him.

Even sometimes, Chenggong will think that there is nothing wrong with Lu Bu's opinion, and even after Lu Bu has made an analysis, he will feel that those methods are more accurate than his plan.

Just this time Cao Cao's army came to crusade and talk about things, all the deployments were made by Lu Bu, and few of them Chen Gong helped make a decision.

However, this time Xuzhou broke the siege, and according to Lu Bu's deployment, all walks of life played very well in the face of strong enemies.

Lü Bu thwarted Cao Cao's attacks twice in a row and successfully returned to Pengcheng.

The victor speaks, and he always has the confidence.

As long as the final victory is obtained, even if others have different opinions, throwing out a sentence about this I won, you can block the other party's mouth......

"The Marquis of Chu must have worked hard to meet Cao Cao, and he rushed back from Dangshan, so it is better to enter the city first to rest." Chen Gong said: "Marquis Chu, please enter the city." ”

Successfully opened his mouth to invite Lu Bu back to the city, and the officials who followed him scattered one after another, standing on both sides of the road.

Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd, rode a red rabbit horse, and entered Pengcheng with his head held high.

Since Cao Cao and Yuan Shao jointly attacked Xuzhou, many people in Pengcheng have been ready to leave.

So they didn't leave, but because there was no news of the defeat of the army ahead.

Once the news of the defeat comes back, many people will definitely abandon Pengcheng and go elsewhere to find a way to survive.

In the battle of Dangshan, the news of Lu Bu's complete victory was transmitted back to Pengcheng.

There was jubilation inside and outside the city.

The people, who were ready to leave Pengcheng, put their luggage back one after another.

When Lu Bu entered the city, the streets of Pengcheng were crowded with people, and everyone wanted to see how majestic this Chu Hou who had preserved Xuzhou was.

Riding a horse and lifting a halberd, Lu Bu walked calmly along the street.

The crowd let out a cheer of "Chuhou is mighty".

Walking slowly forward amid the cheers, Lu Bu's face was full of pride.

But he didn't show the appearance of forgetfulness, and he walked along the street, leaving the impression on everyone that he was calm and calm, as if he had never won a battle at all, but just walked around and came back very casually outside.

The more calm Lu Bu became, the more crazy the people's reaction became.

Only calm people can better protect Pengcheng and the entire Xuzhou, and no longer let anyone be attacked by foreign enemies.

In the greeting of the people of Pengcheng, Lu Bu's ears were filled with the cheers of "Chuhou mighty".

When he came to the gate of the official mansion, he turned over and dismounted.

Chen Gong and the others hurriedly walked over.

"The public desk will follow me to the study, and the others can go back and rest first." Glancing back, Lu Bu instructed everyone.

Everyone said goodbye one after another, and Chen Gong accompanied Lu Bu into the official mansion.

The study is in the back garden of the official mansion.

Coming to the door of the study with Chen Gong, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong when he entered the house: "Gongtai has been guarding Pengcheng recently, and it is indeed hard work. ”

"Chu Hou took the lead for Xuzhou, which is really hard." Chen Gong replied: "Compared to Chu Hou, my hard work is nothing. ”

"Cao Cao has retreated, and it won't be long before all enemy forces will retreat." Lu Bu said to Chen Gong: "There are still many things in Xuzhou that need someone to do, and I don't have too many opportunities to walk around, but the ladies are in Jianye, and I can't rest assured......"

"Does the Marquis of Chu want me to welcome the ladies back?" Chen Gong asked.

"Exactly." Lu Bu said: "When I was in Dangshan, I still thought about the coal mines outside the city every day. There are many things that have not been done in the coal mine, and I am always relieved. ”

"In fact, the coal mine has already made us a lot of profits." Chen Gong replied: "Chu Hou put his energy there, and I can also understand it. ”

Of course, Lu Bu would not tell Chen Gong that in the era in which he once lived, there was a kind of person called the coal boss.

Coal bosses are often nouveau riche, but these nouveau riche are often rich in money.

With the current mining capacity of Xuzhou's coal, even if it is mined for a thousand years, it is impossible to dig it all.

As long as they sit firmly in the coal mines, they will have enough money to raise troops and invest in local construction in the future.

Even if Lu Bu didn't say it, Chen Gong saw everything clearly from the recent income in Xuzhou.

Since there was a coal mine outside Pengcheng, Lu Bu has never lacked money in his hands.

Zhang Shiping and a group of businessmen sold coal to various places, and a lot of foreign copper coins flowed into Xuzhou, and now Lu Bu is no longer the poor and sour appearance of the past, but the treasury is full, and there is no need to worry about not having money to buy ordnance and raise an army.

"Coal mining is a cash cow for us." Lu Bu smiled: "Guarding such a good place, if I don't manage it well, how can I be worthy of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?" ”

Chen Gong was at a loss: "Chu Hou is committed to expanding the coal mine, what does it have to do with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?" ”

"Of course it does." Lu Bu said solemnly: "What are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao most afraid of? What they fear most is nothing more than me getting stronger and stronger. But the more they are afraid, the more I want them to see that Xuzhou will only grow stronger and stronger in their fears. If they fail to break through Xuzhou this time, they will never have any chance in the future! ”

Walking to the window, Lu Bu looked at the back garden outside the window: "Cao Cao once pressed me to beat, and in a few days, the situation in the world should be reversed." ”

Just broke Cao Cao once, and Lu Bu was able to say that the situation in the world should also be reversed.

Chen Gong couldn't help but feel that he was too arrogant.

Xuzhou is indeed strong, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are indeed quite a few, but compared with Cao Cao, they still have a big gap.

With the strength of Xuzhou, it is not as easy as Lu Bu said to defeat Cao Cao.

"Chu Hou, don't forget, in addition to Cao Cao, we also have Yuan Shao to deal with this time." Chen Gong reminded: "Yuan Shao has a large number of soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to defeat him. ”

"Yuan Shao can be wooed, and I will go and woo in person." Lu Bu said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai can send someone to Yanjin, please Yuan Shao not be in a hurry to withdraw the troops, just say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

"Could it be that Chu Hou wants to see Yuan Shao in person?" Chen Gong was stunned: "That's not possible, Yuan Shao can't come to the south bank of Yanjin, if Chu Hou goes to the north bank......"

"Since I asked him to stay, of course I have to go to the north bank of the Yellow River." Lu Bu instructed: "Pengcheng can be handed over to Zhang Zhao for the time being, and you go to Jianye to bring the ladies back first." As for the coal mine, when I go to the north bank of the Yellow River to meet Yuan Shao and return to Pengcheng, we will take care of it. ”

Chen Gong wanted to persuade him again, but Lu Bu didn't give him a chance to speak at all, waved his hand and said, "This matter is settled, you go first." ”

Knowing that no matter how much he said, Lu Bu would not be able to listen to it, so Chen Gong had no choice but to bow and retreat.

If he followed Chen Gong's temper in the past, Lu Bu would definitely fight with reason.

But now, for some reason, he didn't dare to do it.

When Lu Bu didn't want to say anything more, Chen Gong could often only bow down and accept the order.

In fact, Chen Gong also had a feeling, he felt that Lu Bu had indeed changed, and he had become prestigious, and even he didn't dare to argue with this world's number one general who was once like a lost dog.

After Chen Gong left, Lu Bu sat in the study.

He took out the halberd that he had never felt was special, and it seemed to have given him endless power.

I had seen the girl in pink once, and Lu Bu still remembered her appearance vividly.

The first time he saw the girl in pink, he got this halberd.

At that time, he was also wondering, was it in a dream or reality that he saw the girl?

If it's in reality, how can you wake up not in the cherry blossom forest, but in a mattress?

If it was in a dream, why did there be an extra set of halberds on the pillow after he opened his eyes?

Opening the book that recorded the halberd method, Lu Bu picked up a cherry blossom petal sandwiched in the book.

Cherry blossoms originally grew in the Himalayas, but were later brought back by the Central Plains and widely planted in the Central Plains.

Cherry blossoms were planted in the Central Plains thousands of years earlier than in a certain island country.

When Lu Bu saw the cherry blossoms, the people in that island country didn't even know what the cherry blossoms were.

Cherry blossoms have very small petals, and when they are in full bloom, they bloom for a very short time.

Fields of cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the petals fall from the branches, as if a red, pink, and white snow has fallen in the forest......

The cherry blossom that Lu Bu twisted was a pink petal.

There are triangular openings in the corners of the petals, as if they had been carefully cut.

In the dream, he returned to the cherry blossom forest for the second time, and Lu Bu was in Dangshan.

And the cherry blossom forest is in Yoshii.

It was a long way from Dangshan to Yijing, and even if he sleepwalked, he couldn't go that far overnight......

But these cherry blossoms sandwiched in the book were actually next to his pillow when he woke up.

It's weird, it's so weird!

Why did the girl in pink give him a halberd method, and he didn't know what was important about it after giving him this halberd method.

He didn't even know who the woman in pink was or what her name was.

The only thing that convinced him was that the woman in pink had no ill will towards him.

Otherwise, let alone give him a halberd method, with her ability to convey the gods, whether Lu Bu has the life to come out of the cherry blossom forest is still not a certain thing!

Looking at the halberd method, Lu Bu tried to find the subtleties in it.

But no matter how much he tried to find it, he couldn't really find the mystery.

With the experience of the previous time, Lu Bu knew that no matter whether he saw the subtleties in this halberd method or not, as long as he practiced according to the records in the book, there would always be no mistake.

When he returned to Pengcheng, of course he wouldn't go to practice the halberd method immediately.

Putting away the book, he shouted out the door, "Someone." ”

Sun Ce walked in: "What does Chu Hou command?" ”

"Send someone to ask if Ling Cao has returned to Yanjin." Lu Bu commanded.

"If he's still in Pengcheng, do you call him over?" Sun Ce asked.

"Of course you have to find him." Lu Bu said: "In addition, I have to find Cangcao." ”

Sun Ce agreed, bowed and retreated.

It didn't take long for him to walk in from outside the door: "Chu Hou, Ling Cao and Cang Cao are here. ”

"Where's the person?" Lu Bu, who was sitting in the room, asked.

"Right outside the door." Sun Ce asked, "Do you want to let them in?" ”

"Everyone has arrived, of course you have to come in."

After Sun Ce withdrew, he beckoned Ling Cao and Cang Cao into the study.

The two followed Sun Ce into the house and bowed to Lu Bu.

"No courtesy." Lu Bu raised his hand and asked Cang Cao, "I heard that General Ling sent some gold beads to the treasury earlier, is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to Chuhou, there is indeed such a thing." Kura replied.

"How many gold beads are there, and how many copper coins can there be?" Lu Bu asked again.

Cang Cao replied: "A total of twenty buckets of gold beads, how many copper coins are converted, and you have to calculate when you go back." ”

"It's been so long since it was sent to the treasury, and it hasn't been calculated." Lu Bu instructed: "You go back to calculate immediately, and when the calculation is clear, load the copper coins into the cart, and I will go to Yanjin with General Ling in the next day, and I will bring them." ”

Lu Bu said that he was going to Yanjin, and Ling Cao asked in astonishment, "Chu Hou is also going to Yanjin?" ”

"I want to see Yuan Shao, of course I have to go to Yanjin with you." Lu Bu replied: "Twenty buckets of gold beads, how many copper coins are converted, I will let Cang Cao calculate it, and then you and I will escort the copper coins over." ”

"Yuan Shao's army is on the north bank of the Yellow River, and he will definitely not be willing to come to the south bank." Ling Cao asked, "How does Chu Hou plan to meet him?" ”

"How do I go to see Yuan Shao, you don't need to ask." Lu Bu said: "What you have to know is that I will give Gong Jin a lot of copper coins worth twenty buckets of gold beads." When the time comes, whether he will be assigned to you, or if there are other arrangements, I will not be able to control that much. ”

"That's what Chu Hou said." Ling Cao agreed, and sure enough, he didn't ask Lu Bu about his trip to Yanjin again.

Lu Bu looked at Cang Cao: "There's nothing for you here, do what I say, and you can't miss a copper coin." ”

"Obey the orders of the Marquis of Chu." Cangcao agreed, and withdrew.

Lu Bu asked Ling Cao again: "When you returned to Pengcheng, did Yuan Shao reach the north bank of Yanjin?" ”

"Back to Chuhou, when I came back, Yuan Shao had already arrived on the north bank of Yanjin." Ling Cao replied: "Yuan Shao has a large number of soldiers and horses, and if he attacks on a large scale, General Zhou may not be sure to intercept him north of the Yellow River. ”

"Gong Jin has blocked him." Lu Bu smiled slightly: "If Gongjin hadn't been stationed in Yanjin, Yuan Shao would have led the army to the south bank of the Yellow River a long time ago, maybe Pengcheng at this time would also be surrounded by Yuan's army." ”
