Chapter seventy-eight, meet Zhang Miao, kill Hou Cheng
(Thank you for the book friend "Holy Spirit Flying Feather" children's shoes for your support again, and continue to change two more today~)
Cao Ren naturally didn't want to let go of Lu Bu so lightly, under his command, the remaining Cao army continued to desperately and tenaciously change the formation to create an encirclement and further stop Lu Bu, but Xu Huang and his subordinates' fighting strength and bloodiness were not weaker than them at all, which is also very understandable, after all, they could be regarded as deserters before, and now that they want to come back, they must do something, and since they have chosen to help Lu Bu, they naturally have to do their best, and they must not be allowed to interfere with Lu Bu anymore, not to mention that they have been resting for so many days, At this moment, their combat effectiveness is definitely much better than that of this Cao army, which has basically been killed.
That's it, after a while, with the help of Xu Huang and others, Lu Bu finally calmly bypassed them and continued to embark on the road of pursuing Cao Cao.
Because Chen Gong was basically able to guess Cao Cao's escape path before, including the path after he changed slightly, after all, there were only so many roads around, and Chen Gong's understanding of him also determined that he could basically guess his choice, so Lu Bu had a very good idea of where Cao Cao, who could no longer see his back, would run.
And his next pursuit is actually in his heart, but he is also calculating, now Cao Cao has received such a blow, obviously the first one may change the idea of sneaking up on Dong Zhuojun, and he basically can't do it now, but according to Cao Cao's character, he must doubt whether there will be Dong Zhuojun guarding the way back, so he should choose to continue west, and even the safest place may flee to Luoyang.
Lu Bu's horse was fast, but after all, Cao Cao had been walking for a long time, so he didn't catch up with him for a while, but he found some traces and evidence that he was indeed walking on this road, which made him have a bottom in his heart, and he no longer hesitated to move on.
I don't know how long it was, when he realized that there was a familiar sound of horses' hooves at the front and determined that it was definitely not Dong Zhuojun, Lu Bu was happy in his heart, and then accelerated his horse and whipped his horse, crossed a pidgin path, and the front suddenly opened up, and before he could blink his eyes, he had already seen the situation in front clearly, and Cao Cao, who let him chase very closely, was in the column at this time, and the few horses next to him were obviously the personal soldiers who followed and guarded him just now.
At the same time, opposite Cao Cao, there were a few people at this time, also on horses, although Lu Bu was very unfamiliar, he was thinking that he was probably also a member of the coalition army, because their clothes were different from Cao Cao and others or Dong Zhuojun.
And just as Lu Bu rushed out, it was the two sides of the horses who were saying goodbye, perhaps because the speed was too fast, so even though the sound of the horses' hooves had already been heard, it did not attract their attention, until Lu Bu appeared in the field of vision on horseback, and an exclamation came from the two sides almost at the same time: "It's Lu Bu!" ”
After the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, no one in the coalition army will be unfamiliar with him anymore, he has obviously achieved the knowledge of the princes, and Lu Bu soon knows who the other side is besides Cao Cao.
Cao Cao shouted at that side: "It's not good, Meng Zhuo go quickly!" He screamed like that, but he had already galloped up on his own horse, and the soldiers beside him were guarding him, and they were all vigilant against Lu Bu who suddenly appeared behind him, as if he was facing a great enemy.
And the "Meng Zhuo" shouted: "Meng De will go first, and Miao will help you here!" ”
For some reason, Lu Bu suddenly thought of the identity of this person-Chen Liutaishou and Zhang Miao.
He couldn't understand why Zhang Miao came here, but the relationship between Zhang Miao and Cao Cao has always been good, and seeing that he was only accompanied by a military general and a few people who looked like soldiers, the possibility of sending Cao Cao was far greater than "eloping" with Cao Cao.
But to be honest, Lu Bu really didn't have much interest in what he was doing here, and Zhang Miao was a dozen soy sauce in his heart.
But even if this is the case, it cannot be ignored, but now Zhang Miao has no one around him to protect him, so he can only sneer at Lu Bu when he replaces him, Cao Cao himself ran away first, what kind of hero are you?
I have to say that although Lu Bu's prestige has been established, it is not enough to make some people frightened, Zhang Miao is one at this time, and the member sent by Zhang Miao is also the only military general under him at present. …,
"Zidu, block that Lu Bu for me!" Zhang Miao's order seemed to be taken for granted, as if this subordinate could really stop Lu Bu, and the general didn't seem to have enough self-knowledge, so he only responded to the order, raised his weapon and rushed towards Lu Bu.
Seeing Cao Cao running away and looking back at this side, Lu Bu had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but this was undoubtedly a humiliation to the military general who was ignored, making him embarrassed and his subordinates slammed over mercilessly.
But how could Lu Bu fall for his move, their level was so far apart that Lu Bu didn't want to see him, but just casually waved the Fang Tian Halberd, and the power that was transmitted was no longer something that the other party could bear, and the defense of his weapon was torn apart almost instantly, and then the halberd stabbed him in the chest.
"General Lu, the little Hou Cheng is willing to follow the general, and I hope that the general will accept ......" The military general saw that the situation was not good, but he hurriedly looked at the wind and fell, this scene made Zhang Miao, who was holding his backbone just now, scolded: "Hou Cheng, I really misjudged you!" ”
But his expression made Lu Bu's moves really stop immediately, threatening him around his neck, but stopping made him feel the bottom of his heart, so in the face of Zhang Miao's angry reprimand, he seemed to be very proud, and said with a smile: "Zhang Miao, you are a clever and robber, regardless of the people, Cheng has long been unaccustomed to it, ...... today."
Speaking of this, he couldn't say it anymore, there was a pain in his neck, but it was not until he realized something after a long time, the weapon in his hand had already been put aside, covering his neck and looking back at Lu Bu, Hou Cheng's eyes widened, looking very unwilling and incredulous, but he would never have thought that Lu Bu had never thought of accepting his surrender.
Soon turned into a cold corpse and fell off the horse, and in the face of his death, Lu Bu only sneered, this Hou Cheng was self-righteous, but he did not allow an unknown threat around him.
Although it is okay to keep Hou Cheng by his side, as long as he thinks of the tragedies that have happened in "history", what kind of hero is Lu Fengxian, who died at the hands of such villains? If it is said that Wei Xu and Song Xian are because they were under their command from the beginning, and they have always made occasional mistakes, they do not have to be convicted, and these two people are now being taken by their own true power, and it is a question whether they dare to do that rebellious thing, not to mention that even if they have that mind, Lu Bu is not afraid.
But this Hou Cheng, since he can turn his back on Zhang Miao and return to himself today, then tomorrow he will naturally still feel the matter of going behind his back and returning to so-and-so, not to mention that there is "history" as a reference, how could Lu Bu let such a time bomb be by his side.
As for Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hao Meng, and Cheng Lian, these are also backbones, although Lu Bu can't hold them accountable now, but intentionally or unintentionally, he has already invisibly weakened their strength and gradually alienated them without obviously, and cutting off their chance to surrender is naturally equivalent to reducing the danger to himself.
Lu Bu's courage is very big, but it doesn't mean that he will risk his life.
