Chapter 421: The Situation is Turbulent
Cao Jun went up and down, silently, guiltily, and speechless, and slowly withdrew. When Lu Bujun in the camp saw it, his morale was uplifted, and they all raised their arms and shouted, shouting and insulting Cao Jun for being cowardly and incompetent, and Cao Cao was a coward.
"Who taught you to prepare it in the camp?" Lu Bu looked at the retreating Cao army, but he couldn't be happy, and asked a soldier next to him who was in charge of guarding the camp.
"Back to the lord, this person's identity is mysterious, he doesn't want to say his identity, I asked, he only said that he was the lord's nobleman. He told me about my deployment, and Cao Jun was about to cover up, and taught me to prepare as much as I could. I was also skeptical, but just in case, I still ordered a part of the crossbowmen to prepare, and then sent scouts to the front of the battle to investigate, sure enough, I took advantage of the situation to meet the army, seeing that the Cao army was killed, ordered the crossbowmen to try their best to block, the situation was urgent, but if there was any excess, please also ask the lord not to blame. β
"You have done a good job, but you still have to send orders to the whole army, and the next time you see my noble man again, please invite him to my account, I have something important to discuss with him!" Lu Bu squinted, and then said coldly.
What he dislikes the most is for others to show off his cleverness in front of him, and it is precisely the fact that he hates the most is that others think of him as a brave and unscrupulous horseman.
After all, from ancient times to the present, Puff has never had a good end!
On the other hand, it was said that it was getting dark. Outside Ma Zongheng's tiger tent, he was wiping the peerless divine soldier who had killed countless heroes - Fang Tian's painting halberd.
"Lord, it seems to be quite depressed." Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the man had just arrived. Ma Zongheng subconsciously waved his halberd away, a cold light flashed, and the halberd suddenly stopped at the man's neck.
"Hehe, the lord is quite angry." A twilight sun shone down, reflected on the person's face, uninhibited and debauched, and gave people a feeling of playing the world, it was Ma Zongheng's military advisor Guo Jia.
"When will your little trick be enough? When will I be able to compete with Lu Bu!? Ma Zongheng looked sideways slightly, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his whole body seemed to hide the battle intent of the flood wave, which would burst out at any time.
"Hehe, my lord, you don't know the hearts of good people. Cao Cao is too powerful, if he doesn't weaken his strength, or make him exhausted, he has no time to care about secretly deceiving. I really don't dare to let the lord take the risk. Guo Jia Yingying smiled, her eyes were full of wisdom, as if she could see everything clearly, and she expected it.
"Did you know that there was a master behind Lu Bu who was teaching?"
"Well, I saw that a while ago. The so-called things happen for a reason, Lu Bu is arrogant and irritable, and it is definitely not something that can be changed overnight. He suddenly changed so much, I really can't think of any other reason than to have someone to teach him. It's just that this person should not have a deep relationship with Lu Bu. Otherwise, today or Lu Bu can still have some upper hand. Guo Jia said unhurriedly, Ma Zongheng did not have the slightest surprise when he heard it, and it seemed natural for Guo Jia to be like a god.
Guo Jia saw it, but he frowned, and seemed a little angry about Ma Zongheng's determination.
"Hmph, in the end, Gao Shun turned the tide by trapping the camp, deterring the Cao army, and demoralizing it, but this is not comparable to the loss of soldiers. In my opinion, today Lu Bu has the upper hand. Ma Zongheng said in a deep voice.
When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled and said, "No, no." This is the strength of Cao Cao, he knows that if he wants to fight hard, he will definitely lose both. But he deliberately withdrew his troops, just to attack the arrogance of his deployment, so that they would remember this shame, and the next time they fight, Cao's army will definitely win! β
Guo Jia said it categorically, Ma Zongheng listened, and finally had a look of surprise, and said: "What you say is true!?" Even if Gao Shun's 800 camps are trapped, they are not Cao Jun's opponents!? β
"Why don't you wait and see?" Guo Jia saw the look on Ma Zongheng's face, and then showed a satisfied smile and said leisurely.
Ma Zongheng knew that Guo Jia had no omissions, so he didn't say much, sank his face, and asked, "Then when will our army be able to start?" β
"The lord doesn't have to worry, because it depends on whether Sun Jianjun dares to let go and make trouble. Otherwise, if you can't hide it from Lu Bu, all your efforts will be in vain. Guo Jia said with a bright smile again.
"Fengxiao, Fengxiao. Sometimes, I think you're really annoying, but I'm even more glad that you're my brother! Ma Zongheng said, as soon as he put away the halberd, he turned around, and then the ghost-like male body jumped up and danced the halberd, so that it was actually the Heavenly Desolate Eight Evil God Halberd Method used by Lu Bu!
Guo Jia watched quietly, couldn't help but be fascinated, and said: "Vertical, horizontal, but you don't know how lucky I am to be able to join your account." β
And so, another day passed. It is said that because Lu Bu's injuries are aggravated, Gao Shun and other generals all advised him not to go out lightly, Lu Bu believed him, and at the same time sent people to search for the mysterious master. In addition, Cao Jun remembered the shame of that day, and the deeper the anger, he just wanted to be ashamed.
And so on and so on for seven or eight days. Suddenly, LΓΌ Jun made an urgent report, saying that Sun Jian's army, which had originally escorted the baggage, had attacked Yanzhou halfway after taking the baggage, and broke through seven cities in a few days, approaching Puyang. Now Yanzhou is in a panic, and Wenpin urgently dispatched troops and horses from Shanyang, Rencheng, Jiyin and other places to rescue Puyang. At the same time, Zang Ba in Taishan County also raised troops and horses, preparing to rush to Puyang.
"Hahahaha~~!! This time, the Ma family can be said to have jackals in front and tigers in the back!! Cao Cao's traitors have been wary of him, and Sun Jian's old son attacked his old nest, I am afraid that at this time, the Ma family's children are already in chaos, and they are so angry that they are thundering, but there is nothing they can do!! In Lu Buhu's tent, I saw him sitting in the first seat, laughing loudly, his face full of arrogance and joy.
Gao Shun listened, but he frowned, and he always felt that things were not so simple. Cao Xing didn't think so, and hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Now that the alliance of Ma, Cao, and Sun has broken itself, Sun Jian has defected to attack Puyang, and the Ma family will go back to help. The lord should send troops quickly! β
"Well said! That's what I mean! When Lu Bu heard this, his face was shocked, and he was about to give an order. Gao Shun suddenly came out, and said with a condensation: "The lord is slow, the Ma family is known to be strategic, and there is no shortage of generals and wise men in Yanzhou, such as Wen Ping and Cheng Yu, but if Sun Jian has the heart to defect, how can he not find out?" I think there may be deception in this, and the lord must not act rashly. β
As soon as Gao Shun's words fell, a scout soldier suddenly came to report in a hurry, saying that Ma Zongheng had withdrawn his troops and retreated, and his army had withdrawn from the Tiger Prison Pass fifty miles away.
When Lu Bu heard this, he glared evilly, grinned, and said excitedly: "This is God helping me, the Ma family has already gone away, what else do you have to say!?" β
When Gao Shun heard this, he still felt that the ominous premonition in his heart was difficult to suppress, as if something bad would happen at any time, and said: "Even so, the Tiger Prison Xiongguan is solid, and you have also seen it, the strong attack of our army that day was fruitless, but it lost the army, it is better to wait for the Xiliang army to arrive, and determine whether the Ma family child has gone back to Yanzhou, and it is not too late for me to join forces to attack it!" β
As soon as Gao Shun's voice fell, someone outside the tent suddenly reported the order, and as soon as the order fell, someone walked in quickly, wearing the service of the Xiliang Army, it was a member of the Xiliang Army named Dong Wei, who was a distant relative of Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Dong Wei walked in, his face was full of arrogance as always, when he saw Lu Bu, he sneered, full of irony, and after making a salute on the spot, he said: "Wenhou, I heard that you have been repeatedly frustrated, and you were killed by Cao Cao to the camp before, and you can hardly even hold the camp, it seems that Wenhou has been indulged in gentle township in the past two years, no wonder martial arts will be presumptuous." β
"Dong Wei, clean your dog's mouth!! Don't think that you are a distant relative of the Taishi, just do evil here, my lord is still the righteous son of the Taishi!! A general under Lu Bu's command couldn't hear it, and became angry.
And Lu Bu narrowed his evil eyes, his face expressionless.
When Dong Wei heard this, he laughed, and pretended to be afraid: "The dog raised by Wen Hou is really majestic. Wenhou is invincible in the world, and he is appreciated by the Taishi in every way, I dare not offend. However, now it seems that Taishi does not trust Wen Hou very much. Therefore he sent me to command, within three days, he must take the tiger prison, or else he will bear the consequences. Of course, the Taishi didn't want to embarrass Wen Hou, knowing that the Tiger Prison was difficult to attack, so he asked me to bring 8,000 elite soldiers to help. Please also ask Wen Hou Mo to disappoint the Taishi again. β
Lu Bu was obedient, got up slowly, and when he looked at Dong Wei, two terrifying lights suddenly flashed in his evil eyes, and he laughed slowly: "Father-in-law is really worried, I was about to take down the tiger prison, and I ask you to go back and report to him, in less than three days, I will be able to hand over the tiger prison to him tomorrow!" β
"There is no joke in the army, can Wen Hou dare to guarantee it!?" When Dong Wei heard this, he couldn't help but show a little surprise, his face sank, and he didn't dare to joke anymore.
"I, Lu Bu, never say jokes, step down!" Lu Bu said at the end, and he shouted, like the power of thunder. That Dong Wei was so frightened that he changed color on the spot, and even faintly saw a flame evil god, screamed, took a few steps back, his body couldn't help trembling, and after reacting, he felt humiliated, his face was full of dark and resentful hatred, and after bowing in a hurry, he withdrew.
"Lord, this tomorrow to take down the tiger prison, there is no problem to ascend to the sky! But you've already boasted about Haikou, how is this good!? As soon as Gao Shun saw Dong Wei leaving, he hurriedly asked. When Lu Bu heard this, his face sank, and he said with a solemn and fierce face: "Gao Shun, as long as you are a man, there will be times when you know that you can't do it, but you want to do it." This time, I'm going to fight to the death no matter what. But I can't let my brothers accompany me to die, you can send an order to the army, saying that tonight will be taken into the tiger's prison, life and death are unpredictable, if there are those who are afraid, you can secretly allow the severance money, first leave, and then all the deserters are concerned! And all of you are the same! β
But seeing that Lu Bu's face was a little more helpless and sad, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others were about to see it, and they all changed their color, and they were speechless for a while, looking at each other from all sides.
