Just when Lu Bu was furious and complained about Chen Gong, the city gate reported to the defenders, saying that Chen Gong led the defeat and had withdrawn into the city.

Lu Bu immediately got on the Red Rabbit Horse, returned to the military mansion, and summoned Chen Gong to see him.

In the military mansion, Lu Lingqi was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and when she saw Lu Bu coming back angrily, she stepped forward to ask him why he came back so early.

Lu Bu didn't even pay attention to his daughter, and walked into the lobby angrily, sat on the top of his buttocks, and threw his helmet on the desk.

Lu Lingqi's eyebrows condensed, and she immediately knew what was going on, so she asked left and right, only to learn that Hou Cheng was killed and Yingyin was lost.

Lu Lingqi was taken aback, chased into the hall in a few steps, and asked in surprise: "Father, Yingyin City has been lost, how is this possible." ”

Lu Bu snorted, and said angrily: "This is going to ask that Chen Palace, he would have asked him to guard the city, but he just offered Hou Cheng what Wei Wei plan to save Zhao, and fell for Su Zhe's thief's trick." ”

Lu Lingqi suddenly realized, her face changed in shock, her eyes swelled with surprise, and she secretly wondered in her heart: "Could it be that this Su Zhe is really as powerful as the rumors, what is the head of the Nine Wonders, the current Wolong, even a resourceful person like Chen Gong, all playing in the palm of his hand?" ”

When Lu Lingqi was shocked and stunned, Chen Gong outside walked into the hall with a disgraced face.

Lu Bu was angry when he saw him, and before Chen Gong could speak, he asked with a slashed face: "Chen Gongtai, are you dizzy, knowing that Su Zhe is extremely treacherous, why do you still persuade Hou Cheng to fight, now it's good, you have broken thousands of soldiers and horses in vain, and you have lost Yingyin City, you are happy!" ”

Chen Gong knew that he was wrong, so he had to lower his head and let Lu Bu count himself.

After a while, he saw that Lu Bu's anger had calmed down a little, so he sighed: "What Wen Hou taught me is that I am too confident and underestimate the resourcefulness of the head of the Nine Wonders, not to mention that Su Zhe's side, there are also phoenixes and young dragons among the Nine Wonders to help, the dragon and the phoenix are combined, how can my wisdom compete with them." ”

Chen Gong's self-blame also made Lu Bu gradually calm down, he really wanted to cure Chen Gong's sin in his heart, but in the end, he still endured it.

The reason is very simple, Chen Gong is the representative of the Yanzhou scholars, and if Chen Gong's crime is cured, it is equivalent to offending the Yanzhou scholars.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was really abandoned by them because he offended the Yanzhou scholars and chose him Lu Bu, how could Lu Bu forget this.

At present, he has been defeated repeatedly, his prestige has been greatly damaged, and his vitality has been greatly damaged, just when he is in a disadvantageous situation, if he loses the support of the Yanzhou scholars again, what else will he use to fight Su Zhe.

In desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to swallow this evil breath, brushed his hands, and sighed: "That's it, even if you are resourceful, there are times when you miscalculate, this time, I will forgive your sins." ”

"Thank you Wenhou for your kindness." Chen Gong breathed a sigh of relief.

After the fire is over, Lu Bu still has to face reality.

He took a light breath and asked loudly: "Now that Yingyin City has been lost, Su Zhe's army will take advantage of the victory to kill Benxu County, and our army has less than 15,000 available soldiers. ”

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "My subordinates think that we should learn a lesson, stick to the city from this moment on, no matter what tricks Su Zhe makes, we will respond to all changes with the same, then Su Zhe's expedition, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us." ”

Chen Gong was scared by Su Zhe, where did he dare to fight with Su Zhe again, he could only think of sticking to one way.

Lu Bu's brows were gloomy, and his expression was very unhappy, obviously, for him, being oppressed by Su Zhe to Xu County and being a turtle with a shrunken head made him hurt his self-esteem very much.

Lu Bu is unhappy, and Lu Lingqi is even more unhappy.

In her eyes, Lu Bu was such a heroic existence and what a worship.

Now, his heroic father has been defeated by Su Zhe in successive battles, how can she, a daughter, swallow this breath.

Her starry eyes turned, and she had a plan, so she arched her hand and said: "My father is the first fierce general in the world, how can I be pressed by Su Zhe in the city and dare not fight, my daughter has a plan, and she will definitely make her father break Su Zhe's thief and be ashamed." ”

"Qi'er has a clever plan, let's talk about it." Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"My daughter's strategy is called a tooth for a tooth...... "Lu Lingqi explained her strategy.

The more Lu Bu listened, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but say: "What a trick to return a tooth for a tooth, Su Thief has played this general, and this general is just like that." ”

After that, he looked at Chen Gong again and asked, "Gongtai, what do you think of Lingqi's plan?" ”

"Eldest Lady's strategy, it's also a clever plan, it's just ......" Chen Gong swallowed, and it was difficult to speak.

Lu Bu was impatient and waved his hand: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't swallow it." ”

Chen Gong had to say truthfully: "Don't dare to deceive Wen Hou, my subordinates think that the eldest lady's plan is wonderful, but Su Thief is the head of the Nine Wonders, and with the help of Pang Tong, the phoenix chick, it is really difficult to deal with, and the subordinates think that it is better to be safe, and it is the best policy to stick to the city." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Lingqi immediately said unhappily: "I said Chen Gongtai, you shouldn't be scared of Su Zhe's kid, he is the head of the Nine Wonders, but he is not an omniscient and all-powerful god, I don't believe in any strategy to show him through." ”

"This ......" Chen Gong looked embarrassed, so he had to say: "This is just the opinion of his subordinates, whether to use this plan or not, Wen Hou has to take the idea." ”

Chen Gong was also afraid of losses, and he didn't dare to make judgments, for fear that if he made a mistake, he would be reprimanded by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu stood up and paced through the hall, silent in thought.

After a long time, Lu Bu's face swept a trace of unwillingness, gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "What Qi'er said, how could he be pressed and beaten by that thief, I don't believe that he is omnipotent, and even Qi'er's clever plan can be seen through, I want to use this plan to kill him by surprise!" ”

……

A day later, Su Zhe led an army of 30,000 and approached thirty miles southwest of Xu County.

According to Su Zhe's estimate, after Lu Bu lost Yingyin, his forces were weakened again, and the available troops were less than 15,000.

With such a force, if Lu Bu still had brains, he would not dare to rashly go out of the city to fight him, and would only adopt the tactics of shrinking his head and turtle by sticking to the city.

Su Zhe was ready to fight a protracted battle with Lu Bu under the city of Xu County.

It's just that in the evening of the same day, the scout sent the latest reconnaissance information back to the camp, which surprised Su Zhe.

"Then Lu Bu actually led the army out of the city, ten miles away from the city and went to the village, putting on a posture of going to a decisive battle with our army outside the city, what do you think?"

Su Zhe showed the information in his hand to the generals.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "The lord is not still afraid that Lu Bu will be a turtle with a shrunken head, it is just right that he dares to go out of the city, and we just want to catch him in the wild." ”

Huangfu Song also said: "Lu Bu is extremely proud, he is conceited as the number one military general in the world, and he will never be willing to be crushed in the city to be beaten, break the cauldron and sink the boat, and fight against the water, which is also in line with his character."

The generals were indignant for a while, and they were all excited to annihilate Lu Bu in one fell swoop.

"Shiyuan, what do you think?" Su Zhe remained calm and looked at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong said: "I have traveled all over the world, and I also know a little about Lu Bu, although this person is proud of his bravery, pride and conceit, but he is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, now he knows that the soldiers and horses are less than our army, and the morale is low, and he dares to take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, such a move makes me feel really suspicious, most of them are fraudulent." ”
