Chapter 79: Destined to be today
The armor was stained with blood, and Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd.
On the city wall in front of him, the corpses of the defenders of Guangling lay horizontally.
Groups of soldiers climbed the city wall, ran past Lu Bu, and rushed towards the retreating Guangling army.
The city fell, and the fighting between the two sides advanced into the streets.
Fighting is taking place on almost every street.
Carrying Fang Tian's halberd down the city wall, Lu Bu walked forward along the street.
Many soldiers ran past him and killed the Guangling army who came to intercept him.
Walking between the soldiers on both sides of the battle, Lu Bu didn't look at them at all, as if this battle had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Lu Bu's attention was not on their side, the two Guangling soldiers glanced at each other and quietly followed.
Almost behind Lu Bu, they used all their strength to stab the lance out.
The strong wind behind him rolled up, and the two long lances stabbed back to the heart, Lu Bu didn't turn his head, and his left hand seemed to be fishing back very casually.
The two lances that were about to pierce the back of the heart were fished out in his hands, and he pulled hard, and the two Guangling soldiers who were sneaking up were thrown in front of him like a burden with silk linen.
The two of them staggered and fell to the ground.
Lu Bu walked in front of them, and the two Guangling troops were about to sit up.
With a slash of the halberd, a silver light slashed across their throats.
When Lu Bu walked over, the two Guangling soldiers clutched their throats and fell crookedly on the side of the road.
When he came to the Guangling Mansion, Lu Bu found that Zhang Liao had broken through here.
"Warm." Zhang Liao ran over to meet him: "The official mansion has been occupied by us." β
"Did you catch Liu Bei?" Lu Bu asked.
Zhang Liao shook his head: "No, we didn't see him when we came." β
Before entering the city, Lu Bu gave an order to find Liu Bei no matter what.
But he didn't see any trace of Liu Bei along the way.
Now I haven't even seen the government, has it disappeared out of thin air?
"Find me!" Lu Bu ordered: "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find Liu Bei for me." β
"I'll give the order." Zhang Liao responded, and then said to Lu Bu: "We didn't find Liu Bei, but we found another person. β
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao suspiciously: "Who did you find?" β
"Bring it on!" Zhang Liao commanded to the side.
A few soldiers burst into the backyard, and in a moment they pulled out a group of men and women.
The man at the front was hunched over his waist and was in his early sixties.
Behind him was a group of brightly dressed men and women of all ages.
Pushed out by the soldiers, and when he saw Lu Bu, the old man was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on his face.
With all the memories of the past, of course Lu Bu knew him.
He is Chen Deng's father, Chen Qi.
Liu Bei fled to Guangling, bringing unbelievable news.
For some reason, Lu Bu actually became a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
Of course, Chen Qi and Chen Deng didn't believe it.
Seeing Lu Bu, from his appearance and demeanor, Chen Qi recognized at a glance this Wen Hou who had followed him in the past.
But he couldn't figure out how Lu Bu, who was already over the age of confusion, suddenly became a heroic teenager?
At the beginning, the father and son colluded and betrayed Lu Bu when Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, so that Cao Jun drove straight into the trap of Pi.
The grudge between Lu Bu and them was even deeper than that of Liu Bei.
Seeing that it was Chen Qi, Lu Bu smiled and asked, "Long time no see, Han Yu is okay?" β
"Wen Hou ......" Chen Jue answered, but he didn't know what to say, and turned his face to the side.
"When I saw that my army was defeated and weakened, Han Yu didn't miss the old feelings at all, and gave me a salary from the bottom of the kettle." Lu Bu maintained a flat smile: "You may not have thought that it would be me who broke through Guangling and captured you." β
"I was wrong." Chen Jue sighed: "Please wait for your understanding." β
"I'm really generous." Lu Bu shook his head: "But I'm not a good old man who will easily forgive betrayers. From the day you betrayed me, you were destined to be today. β
Lu Bu waved his hand: "Hang Chen Hanyu to the city gate to show the public, all the men will be beheaded, and the women will be sent to the army for the soldiers to enjoy." β
The men of the whole family will be killed, and the women will be sent to the army to be the waste of being soldiers, Chen Qi roared angrily: "If you have the ability, let my family members go, and do it to women, children, the old and weak, what kind of hero is it?" β
"Whether I'm a hero or not, you don't count." Lu Bu pursed his lips: "I have always conquered the world, and my military exploits are all piled up with white bones. Han Yu shouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that the people who were killed were all soldiers of the three armies, and there were not many people in your family in total, even if they were killed, I couldn't be considered brutal. β
"What's more, I still have a grudge against your father and son!" Lu Bu showed a kind smile, and then waved his hand: "Take it away!" β
The soldier stepped forward, twisted Chen Qi and left.
was forcibly dragged away, and Chen Qi was still shouting: "Lu Bu, you kill innocents, you can't die well!" β
The men and women who were dragged away after him also wept incessantly.
Many people even hated Chen Qi's father and son, if they hadn't betrayed Lu Bu at the beginning, they wouldn't have ended up like this now.
Chen Qi and others were escorted away, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao stood in the front yard.
The soldiers who were ordered to search for Liu Bei had been dispatched, and the battle in Guangling City had not yet completely ended.
It was still night when the army entered the city, and it was not until the sun was three poles above that the resisting defenders were completely annihilated.
The soldiers brought by Lu Bu inside and outside the official mansion turned upside down.
Except for searching for some people who were hiding, Liu Bei was not found.
Sitting in the front hall of the official mansion, he got the news again and again that Liu Bei had not been found, and Lu Bu had some doubts in his heart.
When the army entered the city, several city gates in Guangling were closed, and Liu Bei should not escape from the city gates.
Since he can't get out of the city, why can't he be found after searching around?
Just as he was puzzled, Ji Ling walked in: "Wen Hou, we captured Chen Yuanlong." β
Liu Bei was not found, but Chen Deng was captured, and Lu Bu ordered: "Bring him in!" β
Ji Ling walked to the door of the meeting and shouted outside, "Bring people in!" β
Two soldiers walked into the antechamber with Chen Deng, who was tied up with flowers.
Just like when Chen Qi first saw Lu Bu, Chen Deng was also stunned.
Judging from the facial features, it was Lu Bu who was sitting in the front hall.
However, that face was very young, like a young man with a lofty spirit.
"Chen Yuanlong, do you know where Liu Xuande went?" Lu Bu asked Chen Deng.
"How do I know about him?" Chen Deng snorted coldly: "Leading the army to attack Guangling, aren't you afraid that Cao Gong will come to Xuzhou again?" β
"The rebellion in Xuzhou has been broken by me, and it's good that Cao Gong is here." Lu Bu smiled coldly: "Liu Bei deceived 5,000 soldiers and horses from Xu Du, and tried to seize Xiapi but I saw through it. As a member of Cao Gong's subordinates, not only did you not exterminate it, but you also shielded and connived at it, and today I am here to quell the rebellion for Cao Gong! β
