After kowtowing to blood, the relationship between the three of them was one step closer, Sun Ce ordered someone to put down the wine and food again, and drank lively, this time, even Zhao Yun, who had never been drunk, finally got drunk.

Kuai Yue lost a fiasco in the first battle, which surprised everyone, and in the end, he lost his life, and Lu Bu's situation was similar.

Cao Cao's eastward expedition to Lü Bu and Sun Ce's northern expedition to Jiangxia occurred almost at the same time, and the situation was very similar.

Zhang Xiu suddenly turned his eyes and helped Sun Ce defeat Kuai Yue, and on Lu Bu's side, Chen Deng, who was originally trusted, turned against him in battle, which also made Lu Bu pay a painful price, and finally forced him to be cornered and trapped in Pi.

The city has been trapped for several days, Lu Bu stood in the White Gate Tower, holding the battlement, looking at the company camp of Cao Jun outside the city, he had long lost the dignified and heroic spirit of the past, his face was full of haggard and exhaustion, the original fair and handsome face was unconsciously crawling with wrinkles, and the blue eyes were full of helplessness.

I couldn't sleep and eat for days, I couldn't swallow, my lips were chapped, and even the majestic silver armor robe on my body was eclipsed, looking like a hero in the twilight.

The soldiers around him are also listless, lifeless, the city is trapped, the food and grass are getting less and less, and the hearts of the soldiers are becoming more and more desperate and panicked, no one knows, how many days can they hold on?

Cao Cao ruthlessly and decisively dug up Surabaya, and the river poured back, and the city became an ocean in an instant.

Although the water was limited enough to flood the houses and soldiers and civilians in the city, the knee-high water of the river made Lü Bu's situation worse.

The soldiers scrambled to run to the heights, their bodies were covered with water, the grain and grass were soaked in water and became moldy and rotten, and most of the armor, swords and guns on the soldiers' bodies were rusty.

At this time, it is late autumn, even if it is just a few steps in the water, it makes people shiver from the cold, not to mention defending the city, even if they don't do anything, it makes people uncomfortable.

The people in the city were even more complaining, some scolded Cao Cao, some scolded Lu Bu, the fields were also flooded, the houses were also soaked in water, it was very inconvenient to go in and out, and the people could only nest at home and scold the heavens and the earth, constantly complaining and cursing.

At the beginning, Lu Bu also mobilized the army and civilians to dig water to save themselves, but to no avail, he had no choice but to give up, Lu Bu was depressed, and borrowed wine every day to kill his sorrows, and the soldiers had nothing to do.

Cao Cao has not attacked the city, it is clear that he is going to trap Lu Bu alive, and after a few days, Lu Bu looked in the mirror and frightened himself, he was simply inhuman, with a beard on his face, like a mountain village, Lu Bu barely cheered up, and he didn't drink any more wine, and climbed the city wall again to participate in the defense of the city.

The weather is getting colder and colder, many places are even frozen, the north wind is cold, the soldiers don't even have winter clothes, they shrank and shiver from the cold, many soldiers are wearing straw sandals, their toes are frozen, Lu Bu is not feeling good in his heart, he is worried, there is no way at all.

Chen Gong and Gao Shun have not been idle, Gao Shun has led troops to patrol every day, very tired, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, Chen Gong also keeps organizing the army and civilians to strengthen the city defense, preparing the city defense equipment, busy all the time.

But what Gao Shun Chen Gong did was of no avail, the morale was low, the morale was depressed, and many soldiers didn't want to fight anymore, Lu Bu could see from the expressions on their faces, he just didn't want to admit it.

While inspecting, Lu Bu saw several soldiers gathered around and muttering quietly, and Lu Bu walked over.

"Do you know that when Cao Cao killed Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao was also like us, struggling to persevere, what happened in the end? It's a dead end at all, Cao Cao is ruthless, the day the city is broken, how many people died, I look at that, sooner or later, we will end up like this, alas......"

"Who says it's not, the general trend has gone, and Pi can't be saved at all, and I don't know why I'm still dying, it's better to surrender earlier, maybe I can still live."

As soon as one of the soldiers looked up, he saw Lu Bu, and he quickly closed his mouth in fright, and the others were also frightened, but Lu Bu just glanced at them, sighed helplessly, and walked away.

Lu Bu knew very well in his heart that it was not only these few people who were talking in private, but he was afraid that more than half of the soldiers were like this.

Lu Bu is very sober now, he doesn't blame these people, it was he who harmed everyone to get to this point.

Lu Bu also had the idea of surrendering, he brought Chen Gong and Gao Shun to discuss with them, and planned to surrender in Kaicheng.

Chen Gong was resolute and resolutely refused to surrender, he had already betrayed Cao Cao once, once he fell into Cao Cao's hands, there would be no good end, not to mention that Chen Gong had put the bet on Lu Bu's body, he was very arrogant, even if he lost completely, he was unwilling to bow to Cao Cao again.

In order to reassure Lu Bu, Chen Gong persuaded "There are also hidden dangers behind Cao Cao, once Yuan Shao eliminates Gongsun Zhan, he will definitely use troops against Cao Cao, and when the siege of Xiapi is relieved, the lord only needs to be patient and persist, and the situation will inevitably change as time goes by." ”

In fact, Chen Gong didn't know the bottom in his heart, instead of persuading Lu Bu, he was not comforting himself.

Now Yuan Shao has forced Gongsun Chan into a desperate situation, as long as Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Chan and then sends troops to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will inevitably retreat, but Chen Gong does not know that Gongsun Chan has Yi Jinglou to rely on, but it is not so easy to break.

Gao Shun's words were loud, which made Lu Bu a little ashamed, "I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, there is a time to live, and there is a land in death, isn't it just a death, what are you afraid of?" ”

Since the first day of joining the army, Gao Shun has already left life and death behind, he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and vows to live and die with Xiapi.

Lu Bu had nothing to say, sighed, returned to the mansion, and discussed it with his wife and daughter, who were not in favor of surrendering, and were afraid that it would end well in Cao Cao's hands.

Even Qin Yilu, who had a bad character, also persuaded with a flattering face, "General, we are only temporarily trapped, the general Fu is a great life, and Cao Cao has nothing to be afraid of, as long as he retreats, with the general's crotch halberd, he will chase him and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Lu Bu was reassured, changed his mind, and decided to continue to hold on, but the vast majority of the soldiers had different ideas from him, especially Song Xianhou Cheng and others, who secretly conspired behind their backs, wanting to capture Lu Bu and then surrender the city, hoping to get a rich reward from Cao Cao.

That night, Song Xianhou Cheng suddenly led people into Lu Bu's mansion, Lu Bu was warming up with his wife, more than a dozen soldiers broke in, Lu Bu was startled at first, then turned over and jumped under the bed, knocked down several with his bare hands, and then lifted Fang Tian's halberd behind the door, three or two times, all the soldiers who rushed into the house fell to the ground!
