Xiapi, Wenhou Mansion.

With a loud bang, the guards outside the yatang couldn't help but shudder, and secretly looked in the direction of the yatang.

Lu Bu's face sank like water, holding a sword.

A long case of black lacquered nanmu fell to the ground in two, and the book was scattered all over the ground.

"Song Xian was incompetent, and he actually wiped out 6,000 soldiers and horses!"

Lu Bu shouted sharply, his face murderous. There was a strong killing intent all around his body, which made everyone in the yatang silent one by one.

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng looked at Chen Gong and saw that Chen Gong also had a gloomy face.

"Come on, prepare a horse with me, and a certain family vows to set foot in Haixi."

"Gentle and slow."

Chen Gong hurriedly stopped, stood up, and picked up a pair of white silk from the ground. Dusting off the dust, he carefully read the contents of the white silk again, and his thick eyebrows were tightly locked, almost twisted in one place. After a while, he let out a long sigh with a wry smile.

"Wen Hou must not act rashly."

"Gongtai, what do you mean by this?"

"Haixi effortlessly wiped out Ziyuan's entire army.

It's not that Ziyuan is incompetent, but that I underestimated Uncle Deng...... Deng Ji, lone wolf also. To Haixi, he has endured so far and has not revealed his form. In just one year, Haixi is no longer what it used to be. However, the palace did not realize that its momentum had been achieved, so that it was now said to be defeated, and the prince and marquis were hoped to forgive their sins. ”

With that, Chen Gong fell to the ground.

Lu Bu frowned, "Gongtai, this has nothing to do with you, why bother?" ”

"It's not the palace, it's the inspection of the real palace. The palace is not to drive down, but he sits back and watches Haixi grow like this. Just looking at Uncle Deng's methods, he knows that there must be capable people under his account. The prince is the lord of Xuzhou and cannot be moved. If the prince wins, the victory is not martial; If the prince is defeated, he will be demoralized. If Haixi hadn't shown its grandeur, it might still be worth worrying about. But they are now ...... There is no need for a prince to go out, just send a general, and you can set foot in the west of the sea. The palace is willing to be supplemented, not to take Haixi, vow not to collect troops, please give the palace a chance to forgive the sins......"

Chen Gong is another one, and his feelings are sincere.

Although Lu Bu was a little unhappy in his heart, he did not blame Chen Gong.

What does it mean to be a 'prince if he is defeated'?

Isn't it as easy as finding a bag to pick up things?

It's just that what happened to Lu Bu in Haixi last year made him have to be cautious. Zang Ba refused to allow Lu Bu to be outside Fenggao City, causing Lu Bu to return in vain. Although Zang Ba later sent someone to bow his head to Lu Bu and confess his guilt, there was no way to restore Lu Bu's reputation.

Although Chen Gong is not a talent for commanding troops, if he is an assistant, he can be sure.

For Chen Gong, Lu Bu also loves and hates now. Before Hao Meng's rebellion, he was obedient to Chen Gong; But after Hao Meng's incident, how could Lu Bu believe him? But if you don't believe him, you can't do it, many times, he still needs Chen Gong's assistance.

It was with this very complicated mood that Lu Bu relied on Chen Gong and stayed away.

"Who does the public think is the general?"

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng straightened their backs almost at the same time, which meant to tell Chen Gong: Choose me, choose me quickly...... "If it is a general, the first tweet is far away." ”

"Zhang Liao?"

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work......"

He sighed, "Yesterday there was news that Chen Yuanlong sent 5,000 troops from Guangling and stationed in Huaiyin. ”

Chen Gong sneered, "Why should Chen Yuanlong worry? Then Chen Yuanlong's family is in Guangling, how can he raise troops without authorization? In my opinion, he is just bluffing, even if Wen Yuan crosses the Huaishui and captures Xuyi Dongyang, then Chen Deng can only retreat. ”

"Not really, Haixi is under Chen Deng's rule after all, if he doesn't pay attention to it, won't it chill the hearts of his subordinates?"

"But ......"

"Gongtai, Wen Yuan can't be transferred out of Xu County, or choose another person as a general."

Chen Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly: Wen Yuan, you said that I don't distinguish between public and private. But why is Wenhou clearly distinguishing between public and private? He's worried about you!

To tell the truth, the most suitable commander for the expedition to Haixi is Zhang Liao.

But Lu Bu refused to use Zhang Liao, and Chen Gong had no choice but to choose someone else.

"If Wen Yuan can't be separated, he can make the surname Cao a general."

Lu Bu thought for a while, "Shulong is calm and measured, and he is quite lawful in his use of soldiers. If he is a general, he is also the most suitable person...... Then let Shulong lead the people of the headquarters and recapture Quyang. ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Deng intervened and strode out of the yatang.

Wei Xu couldn't help but say, "Junhou, I'm afraid Shulong is not suitable." ”

Lu Bu frowned, "Why is Shulong not suitable?" ”

Shulong is the table character of the surname Cao.

Wei continued: "Previously, Shulong had a close relationship with the Cao family in Haixi. Both of them are surnamed Cao, and it is inevitable that there will be collusion...... In case Shulong refuses to do his best, even if Chen Gongtai supervises the battle, I'm afraid it will be useless. If you want me to say, it's better to let the people close to you be the generals. ”

Lu Bu hesitated!

He trusts the surname Cao very much, but what Wei Xu said seems to make sense.

Although the surname Cao is loyal to him, who can say that he is really loyal in these years?

It is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and it is difficult to draw bones, and knowing people and faces does not know ...... heart" In this way, let Zishan supervise the war, how about it? ”

"This ......"

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng immediately looked at each other.

Zishan is Lu Bu's false son Lu Ji, whose real name is Tatar Ji. The original intention of the two of them was to be in command as generals, because in the eyes of the two of them, with Chen Gong as a supplement, Haixi was at their fingertips. Wei Xu is a relative of Lu Bu, and Hou Cheng is a veteran who follows Lu Bu. Therefore, they put forward the concept of 'close people', hoping that Lu Bu would appoint the two of them as generals. Who knows, Lu Bu remembered Lu Ji.

Does this mean that in Lu Bu's heart, the two of them are not 'close people' at all?

Hou Cheng and Wei Xu are not the kind of people who are broad-minded, and for a while, they couldn't help but feel hatred in their hearts, and they were dissatisfied with Lu Bu.

It's just that in front of Lu Bu, the two of them didn't dare to attack.

Lu Bu's choice was right: Lu Ji was his nominal son anyway. Wei Xu and Hou Cheng can't compare to this father-son relationship.

"If Zishan goes, it is also appropriate."

Wei Xu replied with a dark face.

"Then Ren Zishan will be the military Sima, and he will go to the prime minister with the public platform early in the morning."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

As for the question on the white silk, surnamed Cao asked him how to place Song Xian's body, but Lu Bu ignored it.

He was born in Wuyuan, next to the place where the Hu people lived. In this surname, it is inevitable that some Hu people will be tainted with the habits...... If you are dead, you are dead, and that is burial. And why make a special arrangement? But in the eyes of Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, Lu Bu's actions are inevitably a little cold.

The two shook their heads and looked at each other speechless.

—————————————————————— Lu Bu returned to the inner house and took off his clothes and armor.

As soon as I sat down and was about to have a drink, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the house. It's very fine, and when you hear it, you know it's not a man's footsteps.

As soon as he raised his head, he heard someone outside the door shouting, "Daddy, why are you still fighting Haixi?" ”

Lu Lan was dressed in a bright red dress, like a flame, and rushed into the room.

Lu Bu frowned, "Girl's family, Hugh has to take care of these things." ”

"However, Ah Fu is my friend, how can I not care? From the beginning, Daddy was domineering, and you had to fight Haixi...... As a result, he was defeated by others, but he was unwilling. If there is really a shortage of food, the daughter can go to Haixi to ask for help, and they will not refuse. ”

"Shut up!"

Lu Bu was furious and shouted, "Who is your friend?" You show up all day, where do you think of a girl?

Lingqi, I used to be so arrogant to you, so unruly that you are now so unruly. What do you know about marching and fighting? Borrowing food? A certain is the lord of Xuzhou, he Haixi is under my rule, why do you need to borrow it? If he is sensible, he should offer food and grass. ”

"Daddy......"

"Get out of here!"

Lu Bu was already a little upset, how could he listen to persuasion.

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to take a single step out of the house. Sooner or later, you will get married, always dancing with guns and knives, what kind of system will you become? If you have time, learn the piano with your little lady, and become popular. If you dare to talk nonsense again in the future, don't blame me for sending you to Shouchun to get married immediately......"

Lu Lan's eyes were shining with tears.

She looked at Lu Bu and paused for a while, "I won't pay attention to you anymore, you are not my father!" ”

"Lingqi ......"

Lu Lan didn't wait for Lu Bu to finish speaking, turned around and trotted all the way away.

Lu Bu closed his eyes, only to feel that this temple was beating suddenly.

This kid is really not worry-free. As the saying goes: girls go outward. Sure enough...... He didn't help me, but he wanted to speak for Na Heixi!

As soon as he thought of Haixi, Lu Bu was angry.

"Come on, pass on my order, no one is allowed to let the young lady out of the house, otherwise he will be punished by military law."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and sat down on the couch.

Think of him Lu Bu, a hero! Dismount the horse, draw a halberd in the palm, crisscross the world, and no one can compete. Killed from Mobei to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Chang'an, and from Chang'an to Yanzhou, and finally settled in Xuzhou. How many hardships have you experienced? Who knows! Back then, he was bent on seeking fame, and he did not hesitate to be a fake son successively, worshipping Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, and then killing them.

For what?

Isn't it the word 'fame'!

But now, he is alone and one of the princes of today.

But there is no more courage back then, and there is less happiness and coolness...... Although the Central Plains is large, rich, and comfortable, it is like a cage, which makes Lu Bu feel depressed, depressed, and powerless.

Slowly walking out of the room, Lu Bu sat on the porch.

He looked up at the sky, although the blue sky was like a wash, as far as the eye could see, but he always felt that the sky of the Central Plains was not as refreshing as Mobei......—————————————————— Jian'an had occupied Quyang for three days on the fourth day of the ninth month.

The people of Quyang did not show too much panic, everything seemed to be very calm.

It's just that in this calm, there is a faint kind of inexplicable depression, which always makes people feel a little heavy in their hearts.

The treasury of Quyang has been inventoried.

Cao Peng led everyone to inspect the city defense of Quyang. Overall, Quyang's city defense is not bad, and Wang Mo has also put some thought into this aspect before. The city is six feet high, and the arrow tower is solid and heavy. According to the local governor, every winter, Wang Mo would strengthen the city wall, which also made Quyang extremely strong. If it wasn't for the surprise at that time, if the inside and the outside should be combined, Cao Peng would not have been able to break through Quyang City.

"Childe, there are still twenty stone throwers in Quyang Library, how should they be placed?"

"There are two doors in the east and west, and there are ten in each ...... Keep in mind that the trebuchet must be in a secluded place and protected by a tent. By the way, have the arrows in the treasury been inventoried? How many arrows are there? ”

"About 80,000 arrows."

"Distribution of ...... from the East and West Gates"

The group said as they galloped along the arrow tower.

Before I knew it, I came to the arrow tower of the west gate of Quyang. Cao Peng stood on the arrow tower, holding the battlement with his hand, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

But outside the city of Quyang, the plain is endless.

With this kind of terrain, it is really difficult to ambush...... Cao Peng took a deep breath and tried to keep his mind calm.

It has been two years since I was reborn in this era, but this kind of face-to-face battle is the first time I have experienced it. In my previous life, when I saw those war scenes on TV, I always felt a little false. Now, he will be there, and he can't help but feel a little nervous.

This is his first battle!

Forcefully exhaling the turbidity in his chest, Cao Peng turned around and said, "Wen Jue, fifth brother." ”

"The end will be."

"You two are responsible for guarding the east gate and leading five hundred soldiers.

Uncle Zhou and I guarded the west gate, and we also led 500 soldiers...... Ziyou, with 500 men, patrolled the city, was responsible for maintaining peace, and supported the eastern and western cities at any time. In addition, Ziyou also has a task, that is, to try his best to encourage the people in the city to participate in the defense of the city.

Tell them that whoever goes into battle will get two shekels of rice a day. If he dies in battle, the family can move to Haixi, or 50 acres of fertile land, and get 20 taels of grain and rice. In short, you should try to recruit people as much as possible, and in the West School field, Wang Xu is responsible for the performance, and you can be on call at any time. ”

When Xia Houlan and the others heard this, they bowed down one after another, and then hurriedly walked down the city.

Cao Peng was still on the city gate, looking up.

"Uncle."

"Huh?"

"I don't know, Xingba and Bo Miao, have they been properly hidden?"

"I've hidden it...... Bo Miao has quick wisdom, and Xingba is brave, and idlers are invincible. With the two of them there, it should be enough to contain the enemy. ”

"It's not clear who Lu Bu will send to lead the army this time."

Zhou Cang smiled and patted Cao Peng's shoulder.

"Ah Fu, go and rest for a while. In the past three days, you have barely closed your eyes! If you don't have a good spirit, how can you retreat from the enemy? ”

Cao Peng nodded, "It's okay, then I'll squint in the gatehouse for a while."

Uncle, you help me keep an eye on it here, and I must prepare it well today. I estimate that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses will arrive here or two. ”

"Good!"

Zhou Cang nodded, urging Cao Peng to go down and rest.

In fact, under such circumstances, how could Cao Peng sleep peacefully.

However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he still pretended to have nothing to do, entered the foyer of the arrow tower, and lay down on a bed and clothes. When I close my eyes, I just feel my ears buzzing. It was as if my head had become a pot of porridge, and all kinds of thoughts came and went...... Who said that when you go to the battlefield, your blood boils? At this moment, Cao Peng was more nervous, and even a little afraid.

Damn, I don't know what this battle will look like!
