"Xu Gongming, you have the talent of a general, if you are a great Han humerus, you can make meritorious contributions to Saiwai and Nanban, and open up the territory to make immortal contributions to the Han family, why bother to bury yourself under the command of the thief Dong Zhuo?"

Outside the gate of the big city in the east of Xingyang City, the deputy leader of the Second Princes Alliance, Wenhou Lu Bu, drove the red horse, and walked majestically to the sight of a group of Dong Zhuojun soldiers on the city tower.

This place was very close to the range of a stone's throw on the city tower, but he was not afraid, he was still talking and laughing calmly, facing Xu Huang, who was staring at him, and said the above words.

Xu Huang frowned, he was not a person who was good at words, not to mention that he still respected Lu Bu in his heart, as for Lu Bu's irritable and self-righteous personality that many people thought of, at least after he and Lu Bu got to know him, he couldn't see it at all, and he believed that he saw it with his own eyes.

As for Lu Bu's betrayal of Dong Zhuo, he must have been very complicated in his heart, on the one hand, he didn't think that Lu Bu was wrong for doing this, but on the other hand, he felt sorry for the two sides to become enemies.

As for Lu Bu's abandonment of the city and surrender, he never thought that even if he would really surrender to the Alliance Army, it would definitely be after Dong Zhuo's complete defeat.

But thinking so in his heart, he didn't know how to answer, because the person he was facing was Lu Bu, maybe he still vaguely remembered that in the former Xingyang City, the one who smiled and said to himself, "Xu Gongming, this trip is for you, I just hope you don't let a certain disappointment", and the great Han Fenwei general Lu Fengxian, who picked up the heroes in the Xiliang army.

Lu Bu saw that Xu Huang never said a word, and he didn't know what he thought in his heart. But with his eyesight, he could vaguely see some subtle expressions on Xu Huang's face, such as pursing his lips to express stubbornness, which proved that he was obviously not moved by what he said, and silence did not mean acquiescence.

But Lu Bu didn't feel anything, anyway, he just came to try, he didn't think that just relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue could impress this fierce general who actually didn't get along much and couldn't talk about friendship.

He is willing to come here because he really has some appreciation for Xu Huang, he has heard what Xu Huang has experienced in the past few days, and he has the impression in history, this person may not be the top in the world in terms of force. And in terms of soldiers, there will be no Zhang Liao, Zhang He or even Xu Rong, who are outstanding. But this man has an admirable righteousness.

This kind of righteousness is very valuable in the court, and it may be more common in the army, but it is not easy for Xu Huang's current identity to maintain this.

Such a character. Lu Bu only hopes that he can have a good ending. At least don't be an unnecessary martyr for Dong Zhuo's doomed downfall.

Of course, there was no one else who appeared here at this time, except for Lu Bu. In fact, there is one more person, and that is Xiahou Yuan.

When Cao Cao, as the leader of the alliance, asked who was willing to take Xingyang City as the vanguard at the first internal military meeting where the princes of the Dong Alliance gathered for the second time, Xiahou Yuan and Lu Bu spoke up at the same time. At that moment, Lu Bu knew in his heart that I was afraid that this was arranged by Cao Cao a long time ago.

Of course, it won't be to intercept Lu Bu's "Hu", after all, he won't know Lu Bu's thoughts in advance, which can only show that Cao Cao intends to start using his identity as the leader of the alliance to seek some benefits for himself, after all, if Xingyang City is broken by his generals, whether he is in the alliance at this time or in the world, his reputation will rise a lot, and after this meritorious service, it will be better to continue to reuse it later, so that if he can continue to make meritorious service, it can even be said that he will play an important role in the continuous war against Dong Zhuo, At that time, he Cao Cao's status in the hearts of the people of the world will probably have to make a huge leap.

As for this "competition" between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, the rest of the princes all have an attitude of watching the show, anyway, they have no intention of going out on their own, if it is to rush into Luoyang, then there is definitely no need for Cao Cao to say that everyone will rush to go, but the breakthrough of Xingyang City is only a name for the first merit, and there is no actual benefit and use.

Cao Cao also had a headache when he saw Henglu kill a Lu Bu, but he couldn't just say let Xiahou Yuan go, not to mention whether it would cause Lu Bu to be dissatisfied, Yuan Shao might also take the opportunity to make trouble, and now he began to realize that as the leader of the alliance, he also has his own difficulties, because he can't make decisions as he wants, he has to take care of the necessary fairness, even if it is only superficial fairness.

So this pioneer became a competition between Lu Bu and Xiahou Yuan, and the two of them acted as pioneers together, but it depended on who would come out on top and break through Xingyang Pass.

Lu Bu valued Xu Huang, so he was ready to persuade him to surrender first, and Xiahou Yuan, as an opponent, also felt that he could not be compared, so the two appeared here at the same time.

Of course, they are bold, but they are not fools, appearing in this position is already great courage, naturally they will not venture into the land of an arrow, that is definitely looking for death, Lu Bu does not dare to say that he can be thoughtful when the arrows are fired from the city tower.

Seeing Xu Huang's silence at this time, Lu Buzheng wanted to say something to induce the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun on the city tower to think that Xu Huang's silence was that he was hesitating, in order to achieve the effect of shaking the hearts of the local army and creating a riot, but he didn't expect that this time Xiahou Yuan rushed in front of him and spoke: "Wen Hou, it seems that the defenders in this city are obsessed and want to help him abuse, in this case, we don't have to say more to him, with the momentum of our alliance army, it is easy to kill." ”

Facing Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang obviously didn't have so many scruples, and when he heard this, he sneered and said, "I'll wait here to see how you can kill the city tower lightly!" ”

This was like an order, the archers on the city tower who were black and oppressive had already prepared their bows and crossbows, just waiting for the rain of bows and arrows, with Xiahou Yuan's courage, where would he be afraid of this battle, but said to Lu Bu with a smile: "Wenhou, this battle is a bit big, but unfortunately it can't scare Yuan." It's the vanguard battle with Wen Hou, and Yuan is looking forward to it. ”

Lu Bu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Since that's the case, how about we compete here in archery?" ”

"How to compare?" Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be interested.

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said: "We are already a place of arrows in the city, if we advance again, there must be thousands of arrows on the city tower, the shape is quite dangerous, let's start with this, if anyone can shoot an arrow in this dense rain of arrows and hit the Dong character banner on the city tower, it will be considered the winner, who will be the vanguard, and attack the city first." He raised his arm and pointed to the big banner with the word "Dong" hanging high on the east tower of Xingyang City, which was quite heroic and reprimanded Fang Xuan.

"Good!" Xiahou Yuan didn't think about it, and agreed.

Lu Bu shouted "refreshing", and did not think that Xiahou Yuan was a reckless man's behavior, because it was impossible for him not to know the danger, and to do so, but it was a manifestation of strong self-confidence.

But he obviously still doesn't know Xiahou Yuan's true thoughts, for the so-called vanguard, Xiahou Yuan is actually not so eager now, because just now he has been told by Cao Cao to let Lu Bu be the vanguard, which is not to let him go, because there is a premise, that is, this competition lost to Lu Bu, obviously Cao Cao is not optimistic about this head-to-head battle between Xiahou Yuan and the world's number one general.

He naturally would not disobey Cao Cao's order, and he knew in his heart that he would not be Lu Bu's opponent if he was really compared to this, but he would not give up other competitions with Lu Bu. (To be continued......)
