When he was young, the whimpering night breeze blew across his face, and the wolf down between his collars gently stroked.

The cold wind swept over the empty field, with the movement of the beasts gnawing the bones of the corpses at night, opposite the mottled bloodstained city wall, there was a huge camp stretching for more than ten miles, on the arrow tower, the arrogant and indifferent wolf king stared at the devastated city wall over there for a long time, he never thought of a two-pronged strategy, and it did not let Lu Bu collapse, which made him feel unexpected, even if today was just Cao Cao's tentative siege, from Lu Bu's command to defend the city, and the fighting will of his soldiers, there must be loosening, but it is by no means that easy.

Before, he heard the casualty report of today's siege on Cao Cao's side, and the more than 12,000 people who tried to attack were only 2,000 when they stood at the head of the city, and the casualties were as high as nearly 4,000 people, most of whom were smashed down the city wall by bows and arrows, stones, and crosslogs on the way to climbing the ladder.

In the past few years, Gongsun Zhi has rarely fought such a battle as a siege, the only time, or to take advantage of Liu Yu's unstable heart, Juyong County has few small soldiers before daring to use the Black Mountain Horse to launch a raid, with the increase of experience, now looking back at his footprints along the way, more and more frightened, just like walking on a single-plank bridge on the cliff, the slightest carelessness will fall into the abyss.

He took off his iron helmet and let the cold wind blow for a while, and his thoughts drifted. On the other side, Dian Wei was also next to him to tell about the battle in the afternoon, "Lord, you shouldn't let Cao Cao collect his troops so early, Lao Dian has just entered the state, Zhang Liao was beaten by me and collapsed, then Lu Bu will come......"

Gongsun looked at the night and nodded, raised his hand to interrupt his words, turned his face calmly, and looked at the fierce giant man with a smile, "Then how did the injury on your waist come from?" This is just a temptation, there is no need to work so hard, even if you win the whole of Xuzhou, there is no share of us, I want it...... Cao Cao won't give it, so he can only rely on here to get it! ”

He tapped his head with a finger.

"The old canon that the lord said doesn't understand ......" Dian Wei would not talk back to Gongsun after all, as if he was making a little emotion, leaning on the wooden fence with his arms crossed.

"You don't need to understand too much, you can watch it tomorrow...... Fear and despair are contagious, once you know that there are no reinforcements......" Gongsun Zhi waved his finger at the distant city wall, "just like our hunting on the grassland and in the foothills, there is an unchanging truth, and only when the mountains and rivers are exhausted will the prey not think of escaping, either resist to death, or squat on the ground and let others slaughter." ”

The words paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "....... Once there are no reinforcements, they will be completely desperate, and there is only one way to die in the lonely city, even if Lu Bu wants to die, there are always people under his command who want to live, so ...... Dian Wei, don't be anxious, it's just the beginning. ”

Dian Wei probably understood, and nodded reassuringly.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the camp below, and Li Ke rode over from the back camp, standing under the arrow tower with a mace and shouting: "Leader, Yan Rou has led the army back, and several people have been captured...... Big ......"

Soon after the words fell, several cavalry rushed in this direction, rushed to the bottom of the arrow tower before they stopped their horses, and with a bang, the bound figure was thrown off the horse and fell to the ground. Gongsun Zhi refused Dian Wei's support, stepped down the ladder, and stood on a pillar of the arrow tower, looking at the scribe in a crumpled robe on the ground.

Then, a knight dragged the bound figure to the ground, threw it at Gongsun Zhi's feet, stretched out his hand and pulled out the cloth silk stuffed in the other party's mouth, and the knight arched his hand: "Qiyu Dudu, General Yan is reorganizing the army, let the lowly officials bring this Chen Palace first, and the general will arrive later...... And also...... Zang Ba fled, but his subordinates Sun Guan and Chang Feng were also captured. ”

"Well, you go down and rest."

Gongsun Zhi asked them to retreat, dragged his cloak to the struggling figure on the ground, and lowered his eyes, "Chen Gong? It's the first time we've met......"

"Phew!" The scribe whose face was rubbed on the ground twisted his body and raised his head, his eyes glaring angrily: "Hugh has to talk more, I am captured today, only to die, see if I will surrender!" Hahahaha-"

Around, Dian Wei, Li Ke and other dozens of guards suddenly burst into laughter, Chen Gong's laughter stopped, and he looked at them in amazement, Gongsun Zhi squatted down, looking at each other indifferently, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his tone gradually lowered: "I am a Han literati, and I have iron bones!" Very good, but alas...... I didn't want to recruit you, but I wanted to borrow your head. ”

"Your death will make everyone in Xiapi City feel despair and fear......" The hem stroked, Gongsun Zhi got up and stared at Chen Gong's shocked face, slowly turned around and looked at the faintly lit torch light city wall in the distance, and when he raised his hand, Li Ke stepped forward and lifted up the scribe on the ground, his voice was as cold as ice, "Send someone to spread the word to Cao Sikong, tomorrow will bring the captured Lu Bu reinforcements to the city and behead, I want to see their look of fear and despair, and then ...... Hit again. ”

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

***********************

The night is deep, the silent Xiapi City can occasionally hear the cry, in such a chaotic, death atmosphere, the people, the big families can not sleep peacefully, the sound of crying in the dark night, some people wake up from a dream and sob, there are street patrol officers and soldiers nervously walk through the street at night, listening to the faint cry, let them feel uneasy.

In Lu Mansion, someone woke up from the bed, subconsciously reached out to touch the sword hanging on the bed, in the dim room, the woman was not asleep, she was awakened in the movement, took her husband's hand, got out of bed and took a silk handkerchief to give him the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Husband, don't put pressure on yourself......" Yan went to light the lamp again, looked at the tall lone figure sitting on the edge of the bed with distress, went over to hold his hand, and leaned his face on the back of his hand, "There are still military advisors and General Zang outside, don't put too much pressure on yourself, how can Fujun carry it alone." ”

“…… I dreamed of Uncle Childish. ”

The silent man spoke in a low voice, "Yesterday I came down from the city, and I went to the wounded barracks...... They're all good soldiers...... See what they look like...... I suddenly understood what Zhang Yang said......"

He smiled slightly, rubbed his wife's cheek, looked at the light over there, and whispered, "Madam...... Over the years, I have wronged you and Lingqi, and I have been running around with me, without a day of down-to-earth life, and I also think about where to settle down next every day, and which place is where I Lu Bu can stay. ”

"Husband......

"The husband is here, don't be afraid, madam." Lu Bu lowered his head and met his wife's worried eyes, then smiled and said, "I think...... You and Lingqi, as well as the generals under your command...... Those soldiers in the wounded barracks shouldn't live like this......"

Hands gently pat.

“.…… It's not time to live like this. ”

In the quiet, warm yellow room, the two figures are close together, and the night breeze outside the house runs through the long eaves, day and night, and soon, a new day comes.

Soon, a large number of people stood behind the battlements, looking into the distance outside the city, and groups of bound captives came over, and then they saw a picture that made people gnash their teeth...... Blood blooms, washing the vision.
