September 10 was the twentieth day of Cao Jun's flooding.

Although the torrential rain has gradually stopped, because all the water in Surabaya was introduced into the city by Cao Jun, the water level in Xiapi City not only did not decrease, but gradually increased, bringing great disasters to the people in the city, and the soldiers in the city were also miserable.

Lu Bu was standing in the backyard of his mansion at the moment, his always masculine and handsome face was abnormally full of sorrow at the moment, and he seemed to be preoccupied.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Are you still thinking about your cousin (Wei Xu)? A handsome girl approached and asked.

"Ling'er, do you say that you are a failure in your father's life, and it is just a matter of being scolded by the world as a slave with three surnames, and he was forced by others to defend the lonely city in the battlefield duel he is best at, and now even the old deployment for many years wants to take my head to flatter Cao Cao!" Lu Bu shook his head, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Father, why do you think that? Uncle Cousin wants to betray you because he is a complete villain on weekdays, and it is not surprising that Uncle Zhang Liao and Uncle Gao Shun are very determined to follow you! Lu Lingqi comforted.

"Yes, Wen Yuan and Bo Ming are rare loyal people, but that's exactly the case, I feel sorry for them, because I don't even have the strength to protect them now!" Lu Bu smiled bitterly, with a bit of a sloppy voice.

Xiapi was flooded to this point, and the strength of the troops was so far apart that even he himself did not have any hope for this final battle.

"It's not like you, father, who is so depressed, but you are the invincible god of war recognized by everyone in the world, you will definitely be able to defeat Cao Jun." When Lu Lingqi said this, her expression was full of admiration, it was a girl's unreasonable confidence in her father, no matter how difficult the situation was, she would always believe that her father could use her invincible strength to get through the difficulties.

"Ling'er!" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at his daughter's face full of confidence in himself, and while feeling a burst of bitterness, he couldn't help but think in his heart, if he was defeated in a few days, what would happen to his only daughter? As far as Cao Cao is concerned, I am afraid that it will be difficult to give Ling'er a good life.

At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility on his shoulders, he claimed to be invincible in the world, and was respected by the world as the god of war, but at the last moment, he couldn't even keep his daughter, is this what he wants? How could he, Lu Bu, allow himself to fall into such a situation?

"I, Lu Bu, will never live such a wretched, even if I die, I will bloom with the most dazzling brilliance in this world." Thinking of this, Lu Bu suddenly felt a great unwillingness in his heart, and secretly swore an oath.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Lu Bu looked angry but silent for a long time, Lu Lingqi asked with some concern.

"It's okay, Ling'er, you're right, my father will definitely repel Cao Jun." Lu Bu seemed to have completely realized at this moment, and the whole person regained his previous momentum like a sky-rushing sword, he looked at his daughter and said with a slight smile.

"Next time, if Cao Jun comes to attack again, the father will let his daughter also go to the battlefield to help you!" Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to have regained his previous spirit, Lu Lingqi smiled happily, and then said with a little expectation.

"Haha, I, Lu Bu, never thought of going to the battlefield with my daughter!" Lu Bu laughed.

"Father, you just promise Ling'er, my daughter has been practicing martial arts with her father since she was a child, and she will definitely not fall into her father's prestige." Lu Lingqi said in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Okay!" Lu Bu didn't say much in the end, just nodded slightly. But in his heart, he has an incomparably firm belief.

"Ling'er, if you fight for your father's life, your father will also kill you for a way out."

、、、

Walking out of the backyard of his mansion, Lu Bu swept away the confusion and depression of the past, and asked the guards to summon Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, and Gao Shun to their study to discuss matters.

"See the lord!" The three of them quickly came and saluted Lu Bu one by one.

"No need to be polite, this time may be the last time for our monarchs and ministers to discuss the matter!" Lu Bu's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, and then he sighed slightly.

Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say, after all, Xiapi City was really exhausted.

"Gongtai, now that Xiapi is about to be flooded by Surabaya, do you still have a way to relieve the siege of Xiapi?" Lu Bu's gaze swept back to Chen Gong and asked softly.

"It's a desperate situation, and the palace has nothing to do!" Chen Gong was silent for a while, and finally spit out a sentence.

"Huh!" Lu Bu smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "In the past, you repeatedly offered good ideas, but I never listened, and now I came to ask you when I was in a desperate situation, I myself felt a little ridiculous, Gongtai, do you hate me?" ”

"I don't hate, it's just that sometimes I think of my Chen Gongtai to end up in such a field, and I'm a little unwilling!" Although he was surprised that Lu Bu's attitude had changed drastically today, Chen Gong still replied softly.

"It's me Lu Bu who is sorry for you, and I can't help Wen Yuan and Bo Ming!" Lu Bu nodded slightly, but said with a little remorse. Chen Gong is a resourceful and wise man, and Zhang Liao Gaoshun is also a good brother in both civil and military affairs, if his previous self could be good at good words, how could he be forced to such a point with their help.

"Why did the lord say this, for so many years, Liao has been cultivated by the lord, teaching martial arts and leading soldiers, the lord only has kindness to Liao, where can I not help but say." Zhang Liao stood up and said.

"Since we have gained fame and fortune by following the lord, we should serve the lord for a lifetime, and the lord does not owe us anything!" Gao Shun also stood up.

"At this point, I am afraid that only the two of you will think so, how lucky I am in my life, Lu Bu, can get two generals who are so loyal." Looking at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's attitudes that did not seem to be fake, Lu Bu's expression was full of relief, but then he changed his words: "Actually, I called the three of you here today because I want to discuss a big matter with you." ”

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Now the Cao thief leads the water of the Si River to flood Pi, this Picheng will be broken by it sooner or later, I plan to go out of the city at noon today to lead the army to fight with the Cao thief for the last time, I hope you can escape with my wife and daughter at that time, and I will lead the whole army to drag the enemy army for you and escort you away." Lu Bu's gaze swept over the faces of the three people, and he said word by word.
