[122] Assassination
Ma Xiaoquan held Lu Bu's hands and said in surprise: "What does Feng Xian mean by this, didn't this immortal sue you before, and this immortal didn't participate in the world disputes where you waited?" ”
Lu Bu's face flushed, he smiled, and stopped gnawing.
Ma Xiaoquan activated the data device in his body, and after checking it, he said to Lu Bu: "This immortal will not give you advice, but Chen Gongtai is a good talent." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes lit up.
Ma Xiaoquan continued: "How can you say that Chen Gongtai stayed under Cao Cao for a while, how Cao Cao fought, he should know better, right?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan's words made Lu Bu pause, Lu Bu kept nodding, and said respectfully while nodding: "Bu, thank you Lord Shangxian for your advice!" ”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he happily drove the red rabbit horse away.
Looking at Lu Bu's distant figure, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said in his heart: In history, Cao Cao was going to lose in the chaotic battle of Puyang City, as for why Cao Cao lost, of course, it was also because Chen Gong knew his style of play too well, I said so, it is not a destruction of history, hehe~ Thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan immediately decided to stay in Puyang City for the time being and take a look at this melee
The city gate was closed "creaking" under the command of the commander, and at the same time as it was closed, Lu Bu's soldiers also used logs to block the city gate into a dead wall from the inside, unless these logs were destroyed from the city, otherwise, if they attacked from outside the city, they would use rushing cars, and I am afraid it would be very difficult to break through.
Lü Bu obeyed Ma Xiaoquan's construction, decisively activated the Chen Palace, and adopted a series of its city defense measures: in addition to reinforcing the city gates, on the female wall of each city wall, respectively, a relay was installed, and each transfer was equipped with two crossbowmen, when the war broke out, if one crossbowman was unfortunately killed, the other crossbowman quickly filled the vacancy and continued to shoot; Next to the two crossbowmen, there is another Pak Dao soldier, and if the opponent's siege personnel climb up the city wall and get close to the female wall, the Pu Dao soldier will rush out and meet the opponent's short soldiers.
Puyang City is relatively large, as early as after the capture of Puyang City, Lü Bu ordered another moat to be dug for defense, and, at several key points of the moat, respectively, to build an urn city, Chen Gongjian yì designed the urn city into a semicircle, so that the defenders can attack the besieging enemy from all directions.
Although this approach is better, there is also a fatal problem, that is, if the urn city is besieged, the defenders in the urn city will be wiped out nine times out of ten.
As for the main city wall, it was guarded by Lu Buchen Palace himself, and ordered his generals to garrison every horse face.
As soon as Qiē was ready, he waited for Cao Cao to attack
Cao Cao is not stupid.
When Lu Bu was in full swing to arrange the city defenses, Cao Cao sent no less than 4 scouts to the front to investigate the news, in addition to getting Lu Bu's city defense measures at the first time, the scouts also reported to Cao Cao that they had found the Shangxian Lord in Puyang City.
Cao Cao's heart was a little sour, he felt that Lu Bu could arrange Puyang City so well, it should all depend on the guidance of Lord Shangxian, but after thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao felt that it was wrong, because Lord Shangxian once told him that he would not participate in the disputes in the world
"If that's the case" Cao Cao nodded, suddenly raised his head, and shouted outside the tent, "Yuan Rang Ke?" ”
Outside the tent, a big black man stepped in respectfully, and said to Cao Cao: "The last general!" ”
Cao Cao got up and walked in front of Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang, there is a task for you"
"Ah sneeze~" Lu Bu rubbed his nose and asked Chen Gong beside him impatiently, "Gongtai, do you think Cao Cao will call today?" What do I think, that guy is cowardly? ”
Chen Gong's face was solemn, he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, Chen Gong spoke: "The lord can't be underestimated, Cao Thief is cunning by nature, even if he doesn't attack at this time, he will sneak attack at night."
"Hiss~~" Lu Bu smashed it and said, "Cao Cao, this dog's day, I already knew that he was fighting with me for Yanzhou, and he should have taken down his three counties." ”
Lu Bu said, raised his head, looked at the Shangxian Lord standing on the roof of the building, and shouted: "Shangxian Lord, it's cold above, come down and rest?" ”
On the roof of the building, Ma Xiaoquan stood motionless, and a gust of wind blew, blowing Ma Xiaoquan's long purple hair with the wind, looking up from the bottom, giving people a feeling of being a god descending to earth.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, reached out to press his hair, and then jumped off the roof with a "poof".
The roof of the building was nearly 3 meters away from the city wall, and Ma Xiaoquan jumped down so naturally, but it made a group of Lu Bu's sergeants stunned.
Lu Bu got up and walked to Lord Shangxian, and said respectfully: "Lord Shangxian, let's go, let's drink, then Cao Cao doesn't dare to come." ”
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and refused: "Okay, I'll go out for a walk, Fengxian, as for the wine, it's not too late to drink it after the battle is over." ”
Lu Bu understands the temperament of Lord Shangxian, so he doesn't dare to force him to stay, now that the war is about to break out, Lu Bu has to give up for the time being, but before Ma Xiaoquan left, Lu Bu suddenly asked cheekily: "Lord Shangxian, those elixirs before you"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan just took a step and retreated, "What's wrong with the elixir?" ”
Lu Bu saw that Lord Shangxian stopped, and felt that there was a play, so he hurriedly said: "Those elixirs, since Li Dao Guo Yan made trouble, I have one in my hand now, Lord Shangxian, see if you can do it again"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Feng Xian, those pills, this immortal can only refine so much, if you want to ask for it again, it's not impossible, but well, didn't this immortal once give you a picture scroll, look for it according to the objects on that picture scroll, find it, how much do you want, how much this immortal gives you"
After Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Lu Bu alone, and said to himself: "Okay, I must find that object and exchange it for the elixir."
In the middle of the night, a team of black shadows quickly crossed the first moat, and at the second moat, the leader of the group of black shadows stretched out his right hand, and the whole team stopped.
A dark shadow stepped forward and approached the leader and whispered, "General Xiahou? ”
The leader shook his head, as if he was a little unwilling, but he still gave a decisive order: "Pay attention when you continue to walk forward, as long as one person is discovered, the whole team will retreat immediately, understand?" ”
The shadows nodded.
It took nearly one and a half hours for the black shadows to cross the obstacles and enter Puyang City.
In Puyang City, the defense is relatively loose, but there are a lot of Lu Bu sergeants on patrol, and this group of black shadows held back in a corner for a long time before finally moving forward again.
Cao Cao gave Xiahoudun an order during the day to assassinate Lü Bu.
When Xiahoudun heard this order at that time, he wanted to refuse.
Everyone in the world knows that Lu Bu's martial arts are superb, and of course Xiahoudun knows very well, do you want him to assassinate Lu Bu? That's kind of hilarious, isn't it?
But Xiahoudun thought about it later, this is not impossible, how to say it, Lu Bu is a good drinker and lustful, what if he happens to meet him drinking and engaging in women, won't this opportunity come?
Xiahoudun nodded, and was just about to get up, but his shoulder was suppressed.
Xiahoudun subconsciously wanted to draw his knife, but heard a familiar voice in his ear: "Don't move, you are very dangerous now!" ”
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and immediately heard the voice.
"Lord Shangshangxian?"
In the dark, Xiahoudun couldn't see the other party clearly, but after he said this, the other party's hand holding him down suddenly let go.
Xiahoudun was happy in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head and wanted to salute, but because of the small space, the other party immediately stopped him.
Xiahoudun whispered: "Lord Shangxian, the lord knows that you are here, so he sent me."
didn't wait for Xiahoudun to finish speaking, the voice said: "Okay, it doesn't matter if your Xiaocao sent you to find me or not, I'm afraid I want to do something big, right?" ”
Xiahou Xuan's face flushed, and he didn't hide it: "You can't hide anything from Lord Shangxian!" ”
The other party was silent for a while, and then whispered: "Don't say it yet, bring your people and come with me." ”
With that, the voice was gone.
Xiahoudun followed the direction where the voice finally disappeared, and led a team of subordinates to quietly follow.
When he came to a compound, Xiahoudun ordered his subordinates to ambush everywhere, and he saw that the door of the wing room in the center of the compound was hidden.
Xiahoudun nodded, tiptoed open the door of the wing, and entered the wing.
The light in the wing room was very good, and Xiahoudun roughly counted it, and lit a total of no less than twenty candles.
Under the candlelight, there was a man with purple hair, the man had his back to Xiahoudun, but despite this, Xiahoudun still felt that his back and palms were constantly sweating.
"Lord Shangxian!" Xiahou fell to his knees with a puff.
The purple-haired man didn't look back, he just said lightly: "Get up~"
Xiahou stood up tremblingly, rubbed his hands in front of him, and swung in his back, not knowing where to put it.
The purple-haired man turned around and said with a smile, "Yuan Rang, don't be nervous. ”
Seeing the appearance of Lord Shangxian again, Xiahoudun's nervous heart calmed down suddenly.
That's right, the purple-haired man is, of course, Ma Xiaoquan.
After all, the prestige of Lord Shangxian is second only to the lord Cao Cao in the Cao army, but Xiahoudun never imagined that he was arrested not long after entering the city, and besides, his subordinates were all around, so he didn't even notice that Lord Shangxian was approaching.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Xiahoudun's constantly changing face, and naturally guessed his thoughts, but Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to tell Xiahoudun that he found out that you were actually my blind beating.
Seeing that Xiahoudun had been silent, Ma Xiaoquan said: "You want to deal with Lu Bu, right?" ”
Xiahoudun nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Although Lu Bu is good at wine and lust, but his martial arts are superb, just rely on a few of you, it is estimated that it is not enough for others to stuff their teeth." ”
Xiahou was unconvinced: "If he Lu Bu faints, he will definitely be killed by us." ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Do you think that Lu Bu will have no guards around when he drinks and meets women?" ”
Lord Shangxian's words made Xiahou Dun speechless.
