It's a cold wind, and it's December.

The last month of the third year of Jian'an was extremely cold. Since the beginning of the new year, it has snowed for two consecutive days, and the dilapidated city of Xiapi is white.

After Chugo infiltrated the inner city, he has been waiting for an opportunity.

His accent is not a Xiapi accent. But in this age of displacement, accents don't matter. The soldiers under Lu Bu's tent are also from the south to the north of the world, and they have accents everywhere. Bingzhou, Luoyang, Chang'an, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou...... Chu Ge's ancestral home is Jizhou, but he has been wandering with his parents since he was a child and can speak the dialects of various places, so he did not arouse suspicion. He infiltrated the inner city as a soldier, and his demeanor was very low-key, and he did not arouse any suspicions.

On top of that, the structure of the soldiers in the inner city of Xiapi is also complex.

There were Lu Bu's personal guards, and there were also soldiers who fled from the outer city into the inner city...... If a soldier cannot find a general, he will not find a soldier. Chu Ge's martial arts are good, so he naturally became a Dubo, and thirty soldiers were assigned under his hands, all of whom were stragglers.

Chugo, has been waiting for an opportunity.

—————————————————————————— December, Lü Bu's situation has become more critical.

There is not much grain in the inner city, and thousands of people eat two tons of grain and rice, which adds up to less than 6,000 grains. Ordinary soldiers are better, but for those wealthy and powerful families who are known for their fine clothes and fine food, it is obviously not enough. For a time, in the inner city, people were panicked.

Cao Ying besieged but did not attack, making Lu Bu useless.

He could only order people to tighten the city defenses and strictly prohibit drinking alcohol in the army.

On the fifth day of the first month, Hou Cheng lost a horse, which was later found in the city. That horse is also a good horse, and for a rider like Hou Cheng, a good horse is tantamount to his lifeline. It's a joy that BMW has recovered. So Hou Cheng invited the soldiers in the army to have a banquet together, and offered wine and meat to Lu Bu. Who knows, Lu Bu's mood was irritable, and when he saw the wine and meat sent by Hou Cheng, he was immediately furious: Lao Tzu just ordered that you are not allowed to drink and feast in the army, and you guys will send the wine and meat, sincerely disgusting me?

Lu Bu was furious, that was to kill!

So he immediately ordered someone to take Hou Cheng down, and he was going to behead him on the spot.

Fortunately, Wei Xu and others pleaded hard, so that Lu Bu spared Hou Cheng's surname. But the death penalty is forgivable, but the living sin is unforgivable...... Eighty cane spine is inevitable, and it makes Hou Cheng resentful in his heart. He didn't want to fight anymore, but Lu Bu was fierce, so he was afraid. That night, he brought Wei Xu over, and as soon as the two chatted, Hou Cheng found that Wei Xu was also dissatisfied with Lu Bu.

Wei Xu is a relative of Lu Bu, and the reason why he is dissatisfied is for another reason.

He always felt that Lu Bu looked down on him...... "Zishan came back this time, and I saw that he was always sullen."

Talking to him in the first two days, I faintly noticed that he seemed to have a lot of resentment towards the prince. You also know that Zishan has always wanted to inherit the prince, but in the end it is not the blood of the prince, so he can't succeed. He is now working beside Chen Gong, but he is obviously not particularly dedicated. ”

Hou Cheng was stunned, "You mean ......"

"You and I alone can't make it happen.

The prince now ignores the rights and wrongs in the city, and is mostly taken care of by Chen Gong and Gao Shun. But as you know, it's not easy to deal with.

I have a plan that will enable you and me to build up meritorious deeds.

After the glory and wealth, I don't know if you dare to try? ”

Hou Cheng lowered his head and was silent.

Speaking of which, Hou Cheng was the first veteran to follow Lu Bu. Eight Athletes, Eight Athletes...... In fact, there are not many people who started with Lu Bu, first Hou Cheng, and later Wei Xu and Cao. waited until Ding Yuan's account, and then there were Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and Song Xian. Later, Lu Bu attached himself to Dong Zhuo, and Cheng Lian joined him. After Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu moved to Yanzhou, so he accepted the Taishan thief at that time, that is, Zang Ba Zang Xuangao. It can be said that the real patriarchs among the eight generals are Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Cao...... Gao Shun also defected to Lu Bu after Ding Yuan entered Luoyang.

To say that there is no emotion is a lie.

Hou Cheng almost grew up with Lu Bu, went into battle to kill the enemy together, and made contributions together.

Let him rebel ...... "Is there no other way?" Hou Cheng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "For example, you and I fled directly and defected to Cao Gong?" ”

Wei Xu snorted coldly, "You and I are empty-handed to Cao Gong, how can you be valued by Cao Gong?" ”

He sighed: "Ziliang, I know that you can't bear to harm the prince, why do I want to betray." But now the situation is clear, and Feng Xian will undoubtedly lose. Look at him now, where is he still in the state when he was in the state? The whole person is depressed, and he only knows how to have fun with the woman.

There is a saying that those who know the times are Junjie, and if Feng Xian treats you and me as brothers, he will not give you eighty back flowers today.

I am closer to Feng Xian, but how did Feng Xian value me? Although the trap is in my hands, it is Gao Dekai who can lead the army in battle. All along, you and I have been fighting with him in the east and west, and they have been wandering around. He has everything now, but you and I are still unknown...... When mentioning the names of you and me, I always say: They are the generals under Lu Bu's account. My husband should be famous, but I don't see any hope. ”

Hou Cheng was moved, and at this time, Wei Xu was in his mind, and he was even more silent.

"Then what do you say?"

"I went to contact Zishan and asked him to drag Gao Shun.

You and I will lead the troops and go to capture Chen Gongtai. I heard that Cao Gong hated Chen Gongtai to the core, and taking him down can be a gift for you and me. ”

Hou Cheng looked at Chen Gong and was not pleasing to the eye.

Not only because Chen Gong had rebelled before, but also because he was arrogant and never ignored Hou Cheng and others.

In fact, Chen Gong is completely a transcendent existence in Xiapi. Lu Bu used him, but guarded against him; Chen Gong served Lu Bu, but he looked down on Lu Bu. Including the generals under Lu Bu's account, except for one Zhang Liao, he is also close to Gao Shun.

Hou Chengyi gritted his teeth, "Since that's the case, just follow what you say." ”

The next day, Wei Xu secretly found Lu Ji.

As Wei Xu expected, after picking out the words, Lu Ji readily agreed.

The three of them gathered at Hou Cheng's house again, and after some discussion, they decided to do it overnight, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Chen Gong was in charge of the defense of the inner city, and he lived in an official office in the inner city. Xiapi used to be the royal capital, although the sparrow is small, the five organs are complete, and the official office is set up completely. The scale of the inner city is quite similar to that of an imperial city. There is a government office. Chen Palace, Ping said that he lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Xiapi State...... Gao Shun's stabbing and annihilation of the patrol is a security matter.

As for Lu Bu, most of the time he stayed in his Wenhou Mansion, which was the royal city of the former Xiapi king's capital.

That night, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng ordered their respective parts and assembled in Wei Xu's mansion. Lu Ji didn't come over, his duty was to drag Gao Shun.

When everything was ready, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu led their troops out of the side door and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the long street of the inner city, it was quiet, only heavy breathing, mixed with messy footsteps.

The streets of the inner city of Xiapi are somewhat similar to T-shaped roads. Half a road leads to the royal city, and an avenue runs from east to west. The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the southeast corner of the inner city, which is very eye-catching. In the past, this was the yatang that dealt with various matters in the Xiapi Kingdom, and the prime minister was like the prime minister of the imperial court.

Today, Chen Gong is responsible for the defense of the inner city and naturally lives here.

In the night, two dead wind lanterns at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion fluttered in the cold wind, and the lights flickered on and off.

The gate was closed, and there was no one at the door, and it was deserted.

Wei Xu strode forward, jumped up the steps, grabbed the door knocker and pounded it.

"Who!"

There was an inquiry from the Prime Minister's office.

Wei continued: "I am Wei Xu, on the order of Marquis Wen, there is an urgent military situation to report to the military division...... Please open the door quickly, Hugh has delayed military affairs. ”

Inside the gate, there was silence.

A moment later there was the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a crack in the door.

Without waiting for the door of Nafu to open, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng rushed over, slammed the door open fiercely, and rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion with weapons in hand.

"Take Chen Palace, Hugh is gone, the old thief!"

Wei Xu yelled, and the two of them immediately shouted in unison and rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, it was quiet in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was no one to see. In the central lobby, a general sits upright...... I saw him, wearing a purple and gold crown with three-pronged hair, and a robe of red brocade and flowers in Xishu. A beast-faced tuntou chain armor, with a delicate lion belt around his waist. Sitting upright on the couch, like a lion. A halberd is held in his hand, and his angular cheeks reveal a touch of anger and sadness.

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng shouted when they came to their mouths, and Shengsheng was held back.

"Feng Xian ......"

"Wen Hou?"

Lu Bu stood up, and his height suddenly blocked the light in the hall.

"I didn't expect you two to really turn against me." Lu Bu said in a deep voice, his words revealing an air of endless sadness. He said softly: "I think back then, when you two and Shulong crisscrossed the desert north with me, I regarded you as confidants. Now, Shulong doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, but you want to turn against me...... I treat you both well, why are you like this? I didn't believe it, but I didn't think it was true. ”

The fear that has developed over the years has overwhelmed Hou Cheng and Wei Xu.

But now, there is no other way out for the two of them...... After the two glanced at each other, Hou Cheng suddenly stood up and shouted: "Fengxian, if I don't want to oppose you, you really force us to do this." Back then, we fought with you. Now that you are a Wen Hou, you are even more in charge, who in the world does not know? But what about us? Eight Athletes, Eight Athletes...... has been following you for 20 years, and he is still a general. Now that Cao Gongbing is trapped, you have wings and it is difficult to fly. Why don't you lower Cao Gong? Otherwise, don't blame me for not being emotional. ”

Lu Bu was furious and roared sharply: "You want to surrender to Cao Ying, why are you here? ”

"This ......"

Wei Xu said suddenly: "Ziliang's matter has come to this, why talk nonsense with him." Let's fight a bloody way and go to Cao Gong ......"

After that, he shouted repeatedly: "Retreat!" ”

Lu Budao: "Even if you come, how can you wait for you to get away?" ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu held the halberd of the painting pole, twisted his body in steps, and rushed out of the yatang like the wind.

The platform is nearly one meter high, as if it has not been seen. I saw him soar into the air, holding the halberd with one hand, and an afterimage appeared in mid-air, and swept out.

At the same time, Lu Bu yelled: "Gao Shun, don't take down the thief with me!" ”

With his shout, two or three hundred people poured out of the side rooms on both sides of the vestibule. The first general is Gao Shun.

He held a seven-foot broadsword in one hand and a shield in the other.

shouted loudly: "Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, don't give up your arms and surrender yet, but when." ”

Gao Shun's appearance shocked Hou Cheng and Wei Xu. The two knew that they must have leaked the news, but at this time, the two of them had no way out. The two glanced at each other, reflexively rushed to the outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Behind him, Hula rushed forward, and more than a dozen generals blocked Lu Bu's way at once. Lu Bu sneered, and the halberd of the painting rod swirled in his hand, the halberd cloud rolled, and the shadow of the halberd was heavy.

I only heard Lu Bu roar, and the painting rod halberd swept out.

A series of weapons clashed and was accompanied by a series of terrible screams.

Although there are a large number of generals, how can they stop Lu Bu? Since ancient times, when have you seen a flock of sheep to stop a tiger that eats people.

Lu Bu rushed all the way over, only killing flesh and blood.

At the same time, under the cover of the generals, Wei Xuhou Cheng and the others had rushed to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The two of them were just about to get on the horse, when they heard a cold voice coming: "Ziliang, Zhongjie, why are you in such a hurry?" When you get to my house, stay there. ”

With this voice, hundreds of soldiers immediately rushed out from both sides of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The fire was bright, and Chen Gong, surrounded by soldiers, stopped Wei Xuhou Cheng and the others, and surrounded them and their generals.

Wei Xuhou Cheng couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

Behind him, the screams were endless, and Lu Bu was like a mad tiger, stepping on the corpses everywhere, and was rushing towards the gate.

"Fengxian, we will surrender."

Hou Chengwei continued to see that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

They did not ask Chen Gong to surrender, but to Lu Bu...... The reason is very simple, the two of them have always been at odds with Chen Gong, and surrendering to Chen Gong will definitely not end well. But Lu Bu is different. Although Lu Bu is also a mean and unkind person, after all, he has been in it for a long time. What is Lu Bu's surname, the two of them know it very well in their hearts. This is more or less, nostalgic for the old people. As long as Lu Bu is willing, the two of them will not have to worry about their lives. There may be pain in the flesh and skin, but what is the pain in the flesh compared to the thing like losing the head?

Lu Bu crossed the halberd, slashed over a general, and stopped.

He hesitated, is it surrendered, is it surrendered, is it surrendered...... I have to say that Wei Xuhou Cheng's choice was not wrong. Lu Bu said fiercely, but if he really let him kill these two, he would really be a little unbearable.

Just as Lu Bu hesitated, Chen Gong shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

In an instant, hundreds of archers opened their bows and released arrows, and the arrows rained down, whistling and flying towards Wei Xuhou Cheng.

Wei Xu and Hou Cheng's attention was all focused on Lu Bu's body, where did they think that Chen Gong would be so ruthless and directly ordered...... The two turned around, and the rain of arrows was already in front of them.

A series of muffled bangs echoed in his ears, and Hou Cheng and Wei Xu were instantly shot into hedgehogs.

The two of them widened their eyes and glared at Chen Gong angrily, and the corpse fell straight down the steps. Lu Bu was also taken aback by this sudden scene.

By the time he reacted, Wei Xu and the others had already died of anger.

"Chen Gong, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Gong said loudly: "Prince, these two people rebelled, if they don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will cause confusion in the army's heart." When the time comes, there will be a rebellion by Zhang Xu and Li Xu, so what? Their hearts are no longer subordinate to the prince, and if they stay, they will only be a curse. Prince, when the judgment continues to suffer from its chaos! ”

Lu Bu's cheeks twitched twice, and he didn't speak again.

Chen Gong is right...... But the problem is, Lu Bu also has a bit of a intention to surrender!

Previously, he had revealed this meaning to Cao Ying, but Chen Gong was shot by an arrow and ruined his intentions.

Now...... He let out a long sigh and looked back.

I saw that Wei Xuhou Cheng's troops had stopped resisting.

An indescribable tiredness suddenly came to my heart. He looked at Chen Gong, and then slowly walked down the door.

"Prince, in the current situation, there must be no kindness of a woman."

"Well, whatever you want...... However......" Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "After all, Zishan has been with me for many years, so spare him once." ”

"Of course, the young prince is just bewitched by others."

Lu Ji was ordered to drag Gao Shun.

Now that Gao Shun has appeared here, then Lu Ji's result can be imagined.

Fortunately, he also has the identity of a fake son, otherwise, it is estimated that he died earlier than Wei Xuhou Cheng.

A family will lead the horse over, Lu Bu turned over the horse, and turned back to the royal city. In the Prime Minister's mansion, there was a series of screams, which made Lu Bu's heart tremble.

He took out the white silk from his bosom.

Under the moonlight, a line of small words was written on the white silk: Beware of Wei Xu and Hou Cheng!

If it weren't for this white silk, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu might have succeeded tonight...... But who sent this white silk? What's the purpose?

Just yesterday, when Lu Bu returned home, he was immediately pulled into the room by his wife, Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan is younger than Lu Bu. The birth is also quite moving, although it is nearly forty years old, but the charm still exists, and it is moving.

In the room, there were still Cao and Diao Chan.

This Mrs. Cao is not Cao Ying's 'Cao', but the daughter of Cao Bao, a former Xuzhou soldier and a general under Tao Qian.

Later, Liu Bei won Xuzhou, and Cao Bao, who was a veteran of Xuzhou, was not convinced by Liu Bei. After Lu Bu came, Cao Bao married his daughter to Lu Bu. Mrs. Cao is in her early twenties, a little younger than Diao Chan. is also a flower and moon appearance, not inferior to Diao Chan...... "Junhou, Xiu'er went out this morning, but found a short spear and a pair of white silk on the porch. ”

"Oh?"

Mrs. Yan handed the white silk to Lu Bu, and at the same time showed Lu Bu the short spear that was about sixty centimeters long.

The short spear weighs about a dozen catties, and it can be seen that the person who makes this short spear must be a warrior with amazing arm strength.

Lu Bu opened the white silk and couldn't help but gasp.

Mrs. Yan said to him: "There is a way that people do not hurt the tiger's heart, and the tiger is harmful to people." Although Wei Xuhou Cheng has followed Wen Hou for many years, he must not be unguarded. ”

Lu Bu was quite convinced of Mrs. Yan.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. So he secretly ordered Chen Gong and Gao Shun to spy on Hou Cheng and Wei Xu. I didn't think about it...... People's hearts are really scattered!

Lu Bu was riding on a horse, but he felt a little groggy.

There was a lot of chaos in my head, and all kinds of thoughts came and went one after another at once.

Back then, he relied on his martial arts, and Hou Cheng, Wei and Cao, and the three surnamed Cao, galloped to the north of the desert, killing the Xianbei people and the Huns and fleeing.

It is precisely because of this that he was appreciated by Ding Yuan, and was conquered by Ding Yuan.

But now...... "Prince! ”

Just when Lu Bu's thoughts were fluctuating, he heard someone calling him.

When he raised his head, he realized that he had arrived in the royal city. He rolled over and dismounted, and strode down the hall. But before he could enter the hall, he saw Qi'er's panicked expression and hurried from the inner house. Qi'er ran to Lu Bu and stopped, and saluted first.

"Prince, that short spear has appeared again!"

"Huh?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he was immediately shocked.
