When Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words, he directly lifted the halberd, put it across Chen Gong's neck, and said in a cold voice: "If you lose Pei County, what else do you have to say?" ”

"General, you can't blame the military advisor for this!"

Seeing this, the generals on the side dissuaded them one after another and pleaded for Chen Gong.

The halberd blade that painted the halberd had a little murderous aura, which stimulated Chen Gong's skin, and his body unconsciously got goosebumps.

"Will the general allow me to finish my sentence?" Chen Gong ignored the cold gleaming halberd and looked at Lu Bu's eyes and said.

Lu Bu glanced at the generals, took back the painting halberd that was lying on Chen Gong's neck, pestled it on the ground, and said, "Okay, General Ben will see what you have to say." ”

"Huh......" Chen Gong sighed, first bowed down, and then said: "General, this battle is because I underestimated the meticulous work of the Wei State, and I have this defeat." ”

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, his sword eyebrows furrowed, although he was a little puzzled, he still didn't speak, but quietly waited for his next words.

"This battle palace found that both the number of soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the Lu State are inferior to the Wei State, especially the weapons and equipment, which are even worse than the Wei State." Chen Gong said: "The most important thing is that the family in Peixian County betrayed the Lu State, and they bought off a captain of the West Gate, secretly opened the city gate from the city, and let the Wei army enter the city. ”

Lu Bujian raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Pei County to be lost, there was such an insider, he remembered the family in Pei County, but it was a vassal family of the Chen family in Xuzhou.

"Then I can't blame the public station entirely." Lu Bu's face softened slightly, looked at Chen Gong, and said, "It's the wrong Bu to blame the public platform, and the public platform is not to blame." ”

Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu, said that he didn't dare to say a word, and then stopped speaking.

"What do you think we should do next?" Lu Bu thought for a moment, and then asked Chen Gongdao.

Now that Peixian has been lost, Lu Bu can only retreat or choose to garrison in Feng County, but Feng County is small, and it is not a city, and the city wall is not tall, if it is besieged by the Wei army, it is easy to lose.

Chen Gong thought for a moment and said, "Converge the defenders of Feng County, and then withdraw to Pengcheng to join King Lu." ”

Pei County has been lost, and there is no point in defending Feng County again, so you can only retreat and join forces with Liu Bei to defend Pengcheng, the gateway of Xiapi.

"In that case, let's go now."

After a brief rest, everyone went to Fengxian to join Cao Xing's army, and then retreated to the Pengcheng area.

Besides, Cao Cao, after occupying Peixian, left the general Cao Hong to command 10,000 elite soldiers to defend, and also quickly marched in the direction of Pengcheng.

Just before Lu Bu arrived in Pengcheng, the news of the loss of Pei County had already reached Pengcheng, and Liu Bei had also received the battle report from Pei County.

"Smack!" Liu Bei slammed the battle report in his hand on the table and roared angrily: "This group of damned families. ”

After venting, Liu Bei also calmed down, now he can't turn his face with the family of Lu State, he wants to sit on the throne, and he has to rely on their help.

"Come on, go and invite Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong to the mansion."

This is Liu Bei's own team, although the talent of the three is insufficient, compared to the current prime minister Chen Deng of Lu State, it is far from enough, but it is better to be loyal enough.

After the three arrived, in the puzzled eyes of the three, Liu Bei handed them the battle report on the table and said, "You guys take a look first." ”

The three of them spent a little effort to circulate this battle report, and they all frowned, and their hearts were full of anger, and then they glanced at each other, looked at Liu Bei and asked, "I don't know what the king wants to do?" ”

Liu Bei sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and said: "What else can be done, just don't know it, and now the Lu State can't withstand the civil strife." ”

Liu Bei's expression was in full view of the three of them, and they were also disgusted by these families, but as Liu Bei said, Lu Guo can't be chaotic now, and he can't pursue this matter, after all, half of the officials in the Lu State are filled by the children of major families, once it is not handled well, it is likely to cause turmoil, and when the country is broken, they will also be fish and meat in Cao Cao's hands.

Mi Zhu squinted his eyes and asked, "Then the king, this matter is settled?" ”

Liu Bei snorted coldly and said: "Of course you can't just forget it, they have to pay some price if they do something wrong." ”

"I wonder what the king wants to do with this?"

Liu Bei rubbed his head and said: "Now that the treasury is spending a lot of money, let them take out a sum of money to use as military expenses, and the specific amount will be discussed with Chen Yuanlong in person by Huixianhe." ”

"No." Jian Yong on the side received the order.

"Okay, let's stop at this time, now that Pei County has been lost, the next step, Cao Cao will definitely come to Pengcheng, how should we deal with it?" Liu Bei changed the topic, which is also the biggest problem he is facing at present.

The three of them glanced at each other, their ability was limited, and in the face of this situation, there was no way to break the situation, and in the face of Liu Bei's inquiry, how could they not know how to answer.

Now, there is a lot of bad news in various places, just a few days ago, there was a war report from Langxi County, Cao Bao has lost a large part of the territory, and has been forced to Kaiyang, the seat of Langxi County, Cao Bao can only resist the attack of the Wei army now.

After about half a cup of tea, Sun Qian, who had been thinking hard about how to break the situation, arched his hand and said: "King, now it is really difficult to resist the soldiers of Wei by relying on the strength of Lu alone, so the minister thinks that he should seek help from other countries. ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, he Lu State was not unable to compete with Wei State, he had no shortage of soldiers, and he also had generals, but he had no good strategy, so he could only watch Wei State encroach on the territory of Lu State step by step.

However, in the current situation, there is no way to break the enemy, and it is not a good strategy to ask for help from other countries.

Liu Bei asked, "I don't know who Gongyou plans to ask for help?" ”

"Yuan Shu and Tang Guo."

Liu Bei immediately wanted to refuse after hearing this, Yuan Shu was insatiable, if he asked him for help, maybe he would open his mouth, as for Tang Guo...... It can be considered.

He once had a relationship with Zhang Zai, and he was considered an acquaintance, but the Tang Kingdom was thousands of miles away from the Lu State, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to get in touch in a short time.

But now that Lu is in crisis, no matter what the result is, you have to give it a try.

"Who can send envoys to the two countries?" Liu Bei asked.

Sun Qian thought for a while and said: "Back to the king, the minister is willing to send an envoy to the Tang Kingdom, as for Yuan Shu, please also ask the king to decide." ”

Mi Zhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and it was dangerous to send an envoy to the Tang State to cross the entire Wei State, but fortunately, Sun Gan took over this task, and among them, Sun Qian was indeed the most suitable candidate to send an envoy to other countries.

Liu Bei thought for a moment, looked at Mi Zhu and said, "Yuan Shu is there, just trouble Zizhong to go on it." ”

Of the remaining Jian Yong and Mi Zhu, only Mi Zhu is the best at dealing with people, and he can only go to Yuan Shu.

"No." Mi Zhu bowed down to receive the order.

Without further ado, the two of them set off quickly.
