Lu Peng inspected Xindu, a place with almost no boundaries, and of course he had to strengthen his vigilance, so his 5,000 Flying Tiger Battalion troops had already cut off this street. Such a big battle, of course, alarmed Xu Huang.

So Xu Huang ordered his two brothers to bring a ladder and climb to the roof with Jiang Qi to carefully observe Lu Peng's movements.

The results of the observation made Xu Huang feel relieved, Lu Peng took that street as the boundary, and never crossed the thunder pond half a step, although he stood across the street, put up a pergola in his hand, and looked at himself, but he only looked, there was no movement, just when Xu Huang was nervous, Lu Peng took a group of people and walked away.

Looking at Lu Peng's dashing back and putting his heart back into his stomach, Xu Huang felt a sense of loss. In a trance, he climbed down the ladder and returned to the empty lobby, sat down on the chair, and then began to be in a routine daze.

The history of a state assassin in the world, to be like Xu Huang is really a strange outlier.

Now the place where he can rule is half the city of this capital of faith. Yes, it was half the city, not the people, for the people had fled to the other side, and here these dilapidated and empty houses were still there, and not a single ghost was to be seen.

Xu Huang and his remaining relatives and officials, the daily routine is to get up in the morning, everyone picks up a broom, and begins to clean this yamen, inside and out three times, to see, the sun is already in the middle, so everyone rests.

In the afternoon, everyone continued to pick up the broom and continue to clean the yamen inside and out three times. If you move too fast and go to bed early after dark, then Xu Huang's task is to sit on this chair and look at the yamen in a daze.

No one came to report the matter, no one came to file a lawsuit, and no one offered money and food like himself, and the 10,000 iron horsemen he brought were called infantry, because those war horses had been taken out by Xu Huang and exchanged with the merchant surnamed Zhang for the rations of these soldiers. By now, Xu Huang knew what the background of that businessman Zhang was, and he also knew what agreement he had reached with the Lu brothers, but what about it? In order to prevent these 10,000 people from starving to death, they can only pretend that they can't see it at all.

Now Xu Huang still has to thank the merchant, it is because of him that he did not let his 10,000 iron horsemen starve to death, but he can only guarantee that he will not starve to death. Now the 10,000 soldiers, all of them are hungry like ghosts, and they can only eat two meals of gruel a day, and their business is to hope that the gruel will be thicker in the morning, and after drinking it, they will be cool and stay where they are.

War, you think, people don't fight with you at all.

Then go and take the initiative to start a war, all people know with their heels that in the heart of others, to wage war against others, without anything else, directly cut off your food and grass, and you will not even have the strength to surrender in three days.

Wrote to Cao Cao for help, and Cao Cao's reply was simple: "Hold on." โ€

There are only two fluttering bamboo slips, and there is nothing else.

Even if Cao Cao's support for Xu Huang exists, it can't be shipped, and it can only be cheapened by the enemy, so everyone can only spend it here, how long will it take? God knows, people don't.

In fact, there is also one person who can know, that is Lu Peng, when Lu Peng has a whim and solves the same thing as this game, everything is over.

"Lu Peng is back, and this not embarrassing situation should be over." Xu Huang said to Jiang Qi with a stubbled beard and bloodshot eyes.

Jiang Qi, who had also become depressed, sat there with his hands on his knees, his eyes staring at the ground, and when he heard Xu Huang's words, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "There should be an ending, if it goes on like this, I will go crazy." โ€

Xu Huang nodded: "General Ben is a state assassin, as the so-called duty to defend the territory, handsome will not leave the position, no matter what the result is, I will stick to it here, and Mr. Wizard is our lord's right-hand man, it is indeed a pity to fall here, so I think, Mr. should go back to Xudu." โ€

Jiang Qi sighed, still looking at the ground dejectedly, and said in a slow voice: "We were sent to this Yizhou, in fact, it is a chess piece thrown by the lord to disgust Lu Peng, and it is also an abandoned chess piece, and its purpose is only two, one to declare to the world, Yizhou, the lord will never give up." And the second is to leave a pretext for future wars. Then he turned his head to Xu Huang with a depressed expression and said: "You joined our group later, and so do I, we can't compare to the group of people around the lord now, they are all the children of the two families before and after him, or the representatives of the big families who support him, this is also fate." So, you're in a good mood to let me go back now, since I didn't complete the task given by the main bus, what is the result of my return? Not to mention, everyone knows it. โ€

Xu Huang shook his head helplessly, and continued to look at the yamen blankly.

He is not a fool, the day he was sent, he actually had this preparation, but at that time, he was in a good mood, and he wanted to show his ability in this rare opportunity, but Lu Peng gave himself this blunt knife method, not to fight and not to get along, or simply let people ignore him, and slowly set himself up. The others had already run to the other side.

Things have come to this point, in the past year, he and Jiang Qi have said everything they should have said, and there is nothing to say, so they sit here in silence.

At this time, Xu Huang's younger brother Xu Chao came in slowly, came to Xu Huang with vain steps, and saluted Xu Huang listlessly: "That businessman surnamed Zhang took a group of people to the military camp of the Lu brothers. โ€

Xu Huang continued to look out of the door without moving, without any reply.

This brother raised his voice slightly: "Lu Peng is in the east, and the five thousand of his Flying Tiger pro-army are eyeing him, this time, the Lu family brothers may be leading the team to surrender, what should we do?" Seeing that Xu Huang still didn't squeak, he said again: "Either I'll go to our military camp, pick up our people, and take down the Lu family brothers." โ€

Xu Huang glanced at Jiang Qi, the time to come is still coming, and the time to unveil the cards has come, so Xu Huang said to Jiang Qi: "Let that undercover agent come back, don't lose your life in vain." โ€

Jiang Qi nodded, then stood up and walked out, looking at Jiang Qi with a lonely expression, Xu Huang could only sigh, and then walked to the back hall, muttering as he walked: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go." โ€
