Chapter 44: Candlelight Axe
Lu Bu waited outside Fenyang City for half an hour before Zang Ba opened the city gate and came to the drawbridge with five hundred horsemen to greet him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Bu saw five hundred riders behind Zang Ba, knowing that Zang Ba was not at ease with him, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could not get angry, standing in Zang Ba's position, he doubted himself It was also reasonable.
"The last general, Zang Ba Zang Xuangao, has seen General Zuo, and he can't pay full salute with his armor, please forgive General Zuo."
Lu Bu and this subordinate have met only a handful of times, and it is the first time to observe from such a distance, Zang Ba has thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep eyes, straight nose, slightly thick lips, a straight and loyal appearance, and then his occasionally rolling eyes are full of scoundrel aura to destroy the uprightness, no wonder he will be called a lazy general.
Zang Ba saw that Lu Bu first glanced up and down at him, then shook his head and sighed, I don't know why, he asked, "Why did General Zuo shake his head and sigh?" ”
"General Zang was born with a magnificent appearance, but he has too many thoughts, if he doesn't correct it, it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and he feels a pity in his heart, so he sighs." Lu Bu indirectly revealed that he would reuse him by belittling Zang Ba, instead of wanting to deprive him of his military power, give him peace of mind first, and don't think nonsense.
"The last general has been slow to respect General Zuo's order, and General Zuo has not been angry?"
Lu Bu thought a little in his heart, and guessed that this was Zang Ba testing himself, if he didn't get angry, who would believe it, I'm afraid Zang Ba would be even more afraid, and once he was afraid, he would do something beyond Lu Bu's control.
Lu Bu pondered for a while, intending to tell the truth, in exchange for Zang Ba's loyalty with sincerity: "A few times I have sent someone to invite, wouldn't I be angry if General Zang was in my position?" However, a certain general Zang is a rare general, so he decided to take the risk to invite him personally, if General Zang thinks about him, he will leave. ”
"General Zuo, please." Zang Ba turned over and dismounted, separated the soldiers and invited Lu Bu into the city. Although Zang Ba observed carefully, Lu Bu's face was full of sincerity, and he didn't dare to be careless. But let Lu Bu leave, he felt that the future was bleak and he couldn't fight Cao Cao alone.
Lu Bu beat his horse and marched into the city. came to the big tent of Zangba's Chinese army and sat straight on the main seat.
"Why didn't Sun Guan, Yin Li, and Wu Dun come?" As soon as Lu Bu entered the tent, he felt cold, and the murderous atmosphere outside the tent was fierce, pretending not to know. Lu Bu is confident that he will capture Zang Ba alive when the knife and axe man breaks the account and enters, but he wants to say that this general will be moved before the knife and axe man comes in, once the knife and axe man rushes in, he will really tear his face, and there is no need to talk about it.
"They... Busy with military affairs. Zang Ba didn't know what to say.
"Invite them to come, I have something important to discuss." What are you kidding, you came to their barracks yourself, and you can't resign as a subordinate, is this an attempt to rebel?
Zang Ba could only bite the bullet and send people to invite Yin Li and Wu Dun.
Outside the door, Sun Guan saw that Zang Ba sent soldiers, and he didn't know what was going on, so he was about to do it, but he didn't hear the sound of the cup hitting the ground, so he hurriedly pulled the herald aside and asked about the situation inside before letting the soldiers leave.
Lu Bu saw Zang Ba's appearance of wanting to speak several times, and laughed loudly: "What is Xuangao talking about? ”
Zang Ba wanted to tell Lu Bu that Yin Li's attitude was suspicious, but wasn't he suspicious himself? When the words came to his lips, he changed his words and asked, "What are the general's plans?" ”
Zang Ba's question made it difficult for Lu Bu to answer, telling him the truth, is it worth trusting? What about the off-the-books knife and axe man? If he is told a lie, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win the heart of this general, and he must rely on Zang Ba's ground forces to defeat Cao Cao's counterattack after taking Guangling.
Lu Bu felt that the murderous aura outside the tent was getting stronger and stronger, and he might break the tent at any time, once the knife and axe hand came in, the two would immediately collapse, and he took out the map from his backpack and walked towards Zang Ba.
Zang Ba had heard many times that Lu Bu had all kinds of incredible abilities, and it was the first time he had seen a change out of thin air, and it wasn't until Lu Bu sat beside him that he came back to his senses.
Lu Bu took the opportunity to get close to him, and once the knife and axe man outside the tent rushed in, Lu Bu captured him as soon as possible, and secondly, he showed closer proximity.
"I already have a plan to break Cao, just wait for Xuangao to nod." Lu Bu pointed to the map, moving south from Lu County, and finally pointed to Huaiyin: "Has Xuan Gao ever heard that I burned Pengcheng?" ”
Seeing Zang Ba nodded, Lu Bu continued: "That's just a plan for me to hide from the sky and cross the sea, I have already transferred the grain and grass to Huaiyin. ”
"General Zuo is trying to take Huaiyin?"
Lu Bu shook his head, and finally pointed to Guangling. Zang Ba was shocked in his heart, he believed that this was Lu Bu's final plan, otherwise the mediocrity of exchanging Pengcheng for his family was too far from Lu Bu's courage to show Donghu during this time. Lu Bu told him all about such an important matter, which shows that Lu Bu trusts him very much, and he is also very sure of his ability.
Zang Ba got up suddenly, and was about to bow down, but his arm accidentally knocked over the teacup, only to hear a soft sound.
"Kill!"
At the moment when the teacup hit the ground, Sun Guan slashed through the big tent with a knife and took the lead in killing it, and the big tent on all sides was instantly cut by hundreds of knives and axes and rushed in.
Lu Bu talked about it well, why did Zang Ba turn his face, took out the Zhangba snake spear and pointed at Zang Ba: "The thief wants to harm me?" ”
After saying that, before bullying him, he had to capture Zang Ba alive.
Zang Ba pointed at the knife and axe hand who broke into the tent in a daze, and was so angry that he couldn't speak, forgetting to avoid the big hand caught by Lu Bu.
Seeing that Zang Ba did not dodge or dodge, Lu Bu pointed very angrily at Sun Guan and the others who rushed in with the axe hands, Lu Busheng stopped, his fingers less than half a foot away from Zang Ba's neck.
"Stand down." Zang Ba shouted at Sun Guan and the others, then turned his head to look at Lu Bu, his face almost hit the hand frozen in the air, looked at Lu Bu's hand that wanted to capture him and asked, "Why didn't General Zuo capture me?" ”
"I believe you are a man of loyalty, and I want to hear your explanation." Lu Bu secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, once he captured Zang Ba, I am afraid that Zang Ba would never serve himself again.
Zang Ba snorted, regardless of the armor, and knelt on the ground: "The general treats the tyrant with sincerity and informs the secretary of the military aircraft, but the tyrant spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, hoping that the general will give him sin." ”
"You and I had a lot of grievances the day before yesterday, it was not caused by Xuan Gao alone, and the cloth was also at fault, I hope to work together in the future, don't be suspicious of each other." Lu Bu helped Zang Ba up and said, he gambled with his small life, and finally impressed Zang Ba.
"Zang Ba is willing to serve the general as the master and follow the general." Zang Ba knelt on the ground again, feeling that this was not convincing, he came to see Lu Bu is wearing armor and hanging armor, ambushing knife and axe men outside the tent, afraid that Lu Bu would not believe it, and wanted to get up, the armor was on his body, he couldn't get up for a long time, he got up with Lu Bu's support, walked to the side and pulled out an arrow, and broke it hard:
"If I betray Zangba, it will be like this arrow."
Lu Bu saw that Zang Ba made a heavy oath, and his heart was more relieved, now people pay great attention to promises, and they will never swear easily: "Why bother at this time, if I don't believe you, how can I come alone?" ”
A thousand words are not as convincing as this one, Zang Ba was almost moved to tears, and Lu Bu dared to come alone to affirm his trust.
Sun Guan on the side saw that Zang Ba recognized Lu Bu as the master, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he threw the knife on the ground with a bang and prostrate on the ground: "The sin general Sun Guan asked the general to punish him, all of this was arranged by the sin general alone, and it has nothing to do with Zang Xuangao." ”
Lu Bu helped Sun Guan up, and laughed loudly: "Zhongtai, why bother, it's just a misunderstanding, please get up quickly." ”
"If General Zuo does not dislike it, the last general is willing to worship the general as the main one, and fight bravely to kill the enemy with the guilt as the general."
"If there is a Zhongtai like-mindedness, why worry that I have no general, please get up." Lu Bu solemnly lifted Sun Guan with both hands.
