Yan Xiang saw that Liu Ye was unwilling to plot, so he came out and cried: "Can the virtuous brother know that Chen Qi's family is in trouble? Huaiyin and Guangling Shi clan slaughter? ”

Liu Ye nodded. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Xiang continued: "Today, Xu Xuan has invaded the realm, Shouchun is in danger, and His Majesty wants to return to Shouchun to defend. However, Lu Bu's cavalry cruised outside, once the army retreated, Cheng De'an had to be preserved? Your Liu family is the head of the family, and I am afraid that Lu Bu will focus on eliminating it. A virtuous brother should not seek national affairs, but also seek his own life. ”

"Duke Yuan wants to withdraw his troops and return to Shouchun?" Liu Ye saw that Yuan Shu was so unwise that he couldn't tell the difference. Seeing Yuan Shu nodding in confirmation, Liu Ye's heart was half cold, Lu Bu was famous, and he didn't dare to bet on whether Lu Bu would open up to the Chengde family.

Liu Ye and Yan Xiang had the same thoughts, and they wanted to persuade Yuan Shu to break Lu Bu first. He had already made up his mind to see Yuan Shu, and if he was persuaded by force, it would not be beautiful, so he thought about it and said: "There is already a strategy to break Lu Bu." ”

"Will the plan be released?" Yuan Shu almost jumped up from the throne.

"It is difficult to hide the withdrawal of Yuan Gong's troops, and I heard that Chaohu Zheng Bao attacked Lü Bu's main force in the south. Yuan Gong might as well threaten to withdraw his troops to support Zheng Bao, wanting to break Lu Bu's main force first. can hide Lu Bu's withdrawal and return to Shouchun, and it can make Lu Bu anxious. Liu Ye said.

"However, this still can't preserve Chengde." Yan Xiang said.

Liu Ye continued: "I once heard that Lu Bu was eager to seek talents, and personally invited my friend Lu Su as a staff member. As long as Lu Bu approves of this plan, he will personally invite me, and I will set up a banquet to invite Lu Bu to the banquet. As long as Lu Bu dies and Lu Bu has no queen, the generals under his command will be like a plate of scattered sand, why is it difficult to cut down again? ”

"What a strong man! Please drink this to your heart's content. Yuan Shu also applauded Liu Ye's courage when he heard it, killing Lu Bu, how could Liu Ye live? Even if he is as conceited as Yuan Shu, he admires Liu Ye very much.

Yuan Shu acted according to the plan, and according to Liu Ye's request, he passed the news of his intention to go south to support Zheng Bao to Tu Zhong Jiling. Liu Ye knew that the avenue was blocked by Lu Bu, and the news sent to Ji Ling would definitely be robbed by Lu Bu, so he wanted Lu Bu to know about his existence, so that he could kill Lu Bu when he went to the banquet next.

According to the usual practice, Lu Bu cut off Tu Zhongliangdao. The sun was scorching, the horses were hot, and Lu Bu was ordering the archers to take a cool ride in the shade of the trees on both sides of the official road, and a fast horse galloped in the distance.

Suddenly, the war horse stumbled, and the Yuan Shu soldiers, who were hiding secret letters, were unprepared and tripped off their horses by the tripping ropes that were dense on the official road. Before he could come to his senses, he was tied up and taken to a big tree.

Lu Bu took out the secret letter from the soldier, opened it and looked at it, and broke out in a cold sweat, what he was most worried about had happened.

Xiao Xiong said on the side: "General, will there be fraud?" Yuan Shu knew that we cut off his official ways, and he also risked leaking military information to send the secret letter to Tuzhong? ”

Lu Bu said: "This should be Yuan Shu deliberately let me rob me to disturb my thinking." I'm not sure whether Yuan Shu wants to raise a large army to rescue Tu Zhong, or move the army south to support Zheng Bao, and work together to annihilate the main force of our army. ”

"We are all cavalry, why don't we go to Chengde to take a look?" Wei Yue proposed.

Lu Bu cried and laughed: "I want to too, but Yuan Shu has gathered at least seventy or eighty thousand infantry in Chengde, even if he is lined up to kill us, he will kill until he is soft, and if he accidentally falls into the infantry surrounding, a thousand people want to break out is like a daydream." ”

With the experience of Sun Ce digging the horse pit last time, Lu Bu didn't dare to guarantee that Yuan Shu hadn't heard of this trick to restrain the cavalry, and the battle between him and Cao Cao was the focus of attention of all forces. Once 80,000 infantry dug horse pits in the plains at the same time, Lu Bu couldn't run away if he wanted to.

"What then?"

Lu Bu didn't speak, but looked at the secret letter repeatedly, trying to find out Yuan Shu's true intentions from the battle report. What disappointed him was that the meaning of this battle report was very clear, that is, let Ji Ling defend the city to the death and hold on until he broke Lu Bu's main force, it seems that Yuan Shu has a master around him to guide him, and the difficulty of breaking Shouchun has increased a lot. If Lu Bu was well-informed and knew that Xu Xuan was attacking Yuan Shu, he would definitely guess Yuan Shu's true intentions.

"Let's go, go to Tuzhong." Lu Bu turned over and rode on the red rabbit horse. He was the only one who bluffed, but now he was bluffed by Yuan Shu's ambiguous tactics, and he decided to bluff Ji Ling.

Lu Bu began to worry about the main force of the South Road, he did not receive the news that the main force of the South Road broke Zheng Bao, once it fell into a stalemate stage, Yuan Shu really led the army south, and Zhang Liao's army was very dangerous.

Lu Bu took the bow and cavalry camp and asked while hurrying on the road: "Is there any news of Huailing?" ”

"After our army retreated last time, Sun Ce's army attacked the city overnight, wanting to take it when Chen Denggang took over Huailing. It is a pity that Chen Deng had already prepared, and when Huailing was about to be breached, Sun Ce's army killed more than 1,000 soldiers behind his army and destroyed Sun Ce's army. Chen Deng took the opportunity to lead the army to kill, broke Sun Ce's army, and destroyed Sun Ce's grain and grass, I heard that the two are now deadlocked on the Huailing front. Wei Yue said.

"I know this, is there any recent news?" The news that Wei Yue said, Chen Yu, who stayed behind in Tu Tang, had already arrived. Lu Bu guessed that the army that Chen Deng was ambushing outside the city should be a thousand people sent by Chen Deng to fight Sun Ce against him, but he was not hit, but Sun Ce was hit. The two were deadlocked in Huailing, which was the result of Lu Bu's needs.

Ji Ling was inspecting the soldiers in the Tuzhong barracks. Lü Bu cut off the grain channel, causing Tuzhong to run out of food, and the soldiers were hungry, and many of them were already starving.

Lu Bu cut off the grain channel, not only cutting off the grain and grass in Tuzhong, but also breaking the connection between Tuzhong and Shouchun, so that Ji Ling had no way of knowing Shouchun at all. Just when Ji Ling was worried about Shouchun:

"Lu Bu's cavalry has attacked the city!" There was a lot of screaming on the walls.

Ji Ling heard the constant noise on the city, and hurriedly carried the three-pointed knife from the military camp to the city. In order for his soldiers to support the city walls in time, the barracks were set up at the four city gates.

Ji Ling secretly complained in his heart, there was no food in the past few days, and everything that could be eaten in the city was found by him for the soldiers to eat, and even the remaining hundreds of precious war horses were slaughtered. With tens of thousands of mouths, the food eaten in a day can be piled up into a small mountain, how can a little food cope with it? Ji Ling wanted to learn from Liu Bei's use of human flesh as military rations.

The soldiers can't eat enough, don't say that the morale is not at all, let alone think that they go to the battlefield, with the current state of the defenders, maybe Lu Bu's more than 1,000 cavalry can really break through Tuzhong. Ji Ling was afraid that someone would open the city gate and surrender, so he specially handed over the four city gates to the main battle faction for defense.

Ji Ling climbed the city wall, and a thousand cavalry outside the city were lined up in a battle formation, standing under the city: "General Ji, Lu Bu invites you to talk." ”

Ji Ling nodded at the city gate guards he arranged, walked to the arrow battlement and shouted outside the city: "It's Ji Ling, what is the important matter of General Lu?" ”

"We meet again. What does General Ji think? To drop or not to fall? Lu Bu asked.

Ji Ling shook his head and said, "That's still the case, General Lu is in charge of the siege." ”

"Hahaha..."Lu Bu's hearty laughter came from outside the city: "I'm afraid that General Ji has been hungry for a few days and won't be able to hold a weapon." ”

"How can a certain person be greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Although General Ji is not a greedy person, I am afraid that the soldiers under his command are unwilling to give Yuan Shu a funeral." Lu Bu's voice changed: "Didn't General Ji receive the news from Yuan Shu?" ”

Ji Ling saw Lu Bu take out a roll of brocade cloth and throw it in his hand, his eyes widened, this should be the letter written by Yuan Shu to him, but he was robbed by Lu Bu, exposing his own military situation.

Seeing that Ji Ling didn't speak, Lu Bu continued: "General Ji may not know that the main force of our army is out of Liyang, has taken Hefei from Juchao, and is carrying Shouchun on his back. Everyone knows each other, I tell you so much, don't thank me. ”

Ji Ling has not seen Lu Bu's main force coming north these days, and he has long suspected that Lu Bu's cavalry is used to contain Tu Zhong, and the main force detours from the south to take Shouchun, and now he has heard Lu Bu confirm that he completely believes that Lu Bu is telling the truth, and also believes that Hefei was captured by Lu Bu's army, he is very clear about Hefei's defensive strength, and it is impossible to resist Lu Bu's army to suppress the city.

Although Ji Ling believed what Lu Bu said, he couldn't admit that once he admitted that Yuan Shu led his troops back to Shouchun and gave up Tu Zhong's generals, Tu Zhong would not need Lu Bu to attack, and there would be chaos immediately.

"Why should General Lu play children's tricks, a certain personally arranged a large army fortification in Hefei, afraid that General Lu's army would break its wings under the city of Hefei, so he came to scare the general. Why didn't General Lu surrender on his knees, the post of King of Guangling that he had been crowned the day before yesterday still counted. Ji Ling tried his best to stabilize the morale of the army.

"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." Lu Bu took out the dragon tongue bow and tied the secret letter to the arrow. The bow opens like the autumn moon in the sky, and the arrow goes like a meteor landing, "Ding." With a soft sound, the arrow did not enter the beam of the city head halfway, and after the arrow shaft was nailed into the guard, there was not even a trace of concussion.

Ji Ling had already seen Lu Bu's archery technique, and he was only slightly surprised, but on the contrary, several of his subordinate generals were all panicked, their faces were as pale as earth, and some generals hid behind the arrow stacks.

Ji Ling took off the brocade cloth tied to the arrow, and his face slowly became ugly.

Of course, Lu Bu would not hand over the secret letter to Ji Ling as it was, that would only make Ji Ling defend the city. Lu Bu was on the march, and no one could be found to imitate Yuan Shu's handwriting, and the main thing was that Lu Bu could not fake the jade seal of the country.

Lu Bu just smeared many places with blood, leaving only some very vague words such as "South Road Lu Bu's Army" and "Shouchun" and the jade seal, and even Zheng Bao's name was soaked out by Lu Bu, he just wanted to mislead Ji Ling.

After Ji Ling finished reading it, his face that had always maintained the demeanor of a general was very ugly.

"What kind of order did Your Majesty send you?" Lei Xu craned his neck to take a look.

Ji Ling stopped Lei Xu with cold eyes, and tore hard with both hands, tearing the secret letter to pieces. Shu Shao, who also rushed over after hearing the news, wanted to stop Ji Ling's stupid actions, but before he could speak, the brocade cloth had already turned into pieces, and he said gloomily in his heart: "The general and I will die at the hands of the villain." ”
