"Tao Ying Xiaoer! It's too much to deceive me! ”

In Chen Deng's crow's mouth, he saw the arrogant letter of his future son-in-law, and heard the harsh and good conditions proposed by his future son-in-law, Lu Wenhou, who was definitely one of the best in the Three Kingdoms era, was suddenly angry, and tore Tao Ying's letter to shreds in two strokes, ignoring the persuasion and obstruction of Chen Gong's sweaty head, he strode forward and picked up the unlucky Xuzhou envoy Ni Huanni, and shouted with leopard eyes: "You repeat, what does Tao Ying Xiao'er want me to do?" ”

"Wen Hou, it has nothing to do with the villain, it has nothing to do with the villain." Ni Huan, who was unlucky enough to be on the table because the concubine used money from unknown sources, was scattered, and explained with a sad face: "Wen Hou, the villain doesn't know anything, the lord just sent the villain to deliver the letter, and then listened to Wen Hou's reply, what the lord said in the letter, the villain didn't know at all." ”

"Listen to my reply? It's good, it's good. Lu Wenhou laughed angrily, pulled out the sword at his waist, and stabbed the unlucky Lord Ni Huan with his sword, and shouted at the same time, "This is Ben Wenhou's reply!" ”

"My lord, no!" Chen Gong screamed but it was too late, Lu Wenhou's sword had already stabbed into Ni Huan's chest viciously, the blade passed through his chest, and Lord Ni Huan, who had a huge amount of property from unknown sources, also gushed blood from his mouth, and his head tilted and he lost his breath on the spot. But Lu Wenhou still refused to relieve his anger, and threw Ni Huan's body again, shouting: "Drag it out and feed the dogs!" ”

"No!" The guard in the tent agreed in horror, and quickly dragged Ni Huan's body out, and hurriedly cleaned the ground in the tent, while Chen Gong stomped his feet and shouted in great annoyance: "Lord, you are too impulsive, too impulsive, these two countries are fighting against each other and not killing them, not to mention the envoy sent by your son-in-law, your lord, you killed him, and our army will not want to count on Xuzhou's money and food in the future!" ”

"I don't have this son-in-law!" Lu Wenhou roared angrily, "Tao Ying'er insulted me too much, from today onwards, he is no longer my son-in-law, but still my enemy!" I want to personally wave my army to the south and go to kill Tao Yingxiao'er with a thousand knives and Ling Chi! ”

"Lord, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do." Chen Gong also laughed bitterly, and said: "At present, our army is a great enemy, where is there spare strength to attack Xuzhou?" Even if we retreat to fight Xuzhou now, Cao Thief and Yuan Shao will not let us go, and they will definitely take the opportunity to chase and kill, and attack our army from the north and south with Tao Ying's thief. ”

"Send someone to sue for peace with the thief!" Lu Wenhou was not too stupid, and with a wave of his hand, he came up with another idea, and roared: "As long as Cao Thief agrees to stop fighting, I will return the three counties of Yanzhou to him, and free up the army to attack Xuzhou. Tao Qian's father and son have a grudge against Cao Thief for killing his father, I will avenge him, he will definitely agree! ”

"No!" Chen Gong was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Lord, this matter must not be, Cao Thief's deceit is not under Tao Ying's thief, how can you believe that our army is suing for peace?" Moreover, if an envoy is sent to sue for peace, it is equivalent to letting the Cao thief immediately know the predicament of our army, and making the Cao thief even more have the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob and cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

"Why not?!" Lu Wenhou puffed out his eyes, and it was rare to say an extremely correct analysis, "How can our army and Tao Ying's thief become enemies for such a big thing, how can we hide it from Cao Thief's meticulous eyes?" Anyway, sooner or later, this matter will be found out by Cao Thief, so what's the harm in letting him know now? Besides, Tao Ying's thief is shameless, and when he finds that the situation is not good, he will definitely ask Cao Ying and Yuan Shao for an alliance, and join forces with Cao Ying and Yuan Shao to attack me, rather than let him form an alliance with Cao Ying and Yuan Shao, it is better for our army to seek peace first, as long as Cao Ying and Yuan Shao agree to a truce, I can free up my troops and take the five counties of Xuzhou to gain a foothold! ”

"That's just as well." Chen Gong was rarely moved by Lu Wenhou's opinion once, and the secret way was good, with Tao Ying's thief's deceitful and vicious, I heard that our army had destroyed the book, in order to take revenge on our army and the five counties of Xuzhou, he would definitely send an envoy to Cao Ying and Yuan Shao to sue for peace, and join forces to attack our army - Tao Ying's thief can definitely do it, and he will not even blink an eyelid.

As soon as Chen Gong was depressed here, Lu Wenhou over there had already begun to give an order, pointing to Wang Kai, a henchman who had returned from Xuzhou in vain, and shouted: "Go to Cao Ying immediately and tell Cao Thief that as long as Cao Thief agrees to stop fighting and quit the army, when I take Xuzhou, I will return the three counties of Shanyang, Dingtao and Rencheng in Yanzhou to him, and I will never break my promise!" If the thief asks the reason, he can tell him the truth! ”

"No." Wang Kai agreed in fright, and said cautiously: "Lord, this matter is very high, and I ask the lord to write a handwritten letter, otherwise Cao Thief may not believe it." ”

Lu Wenhou didn't speak anymore, and strode back to the side of the case to write a book, Chen Gong stepped forward to stop and persuade Lu Bu to think twice, but was pushed away by Lu Wenhou, and continued to work hard to write, Chen Gong was helpless, so he had to point out in front of Wang Kai again, so that after Wang Kai saw Cao Ying, he must remind Cao Ying to remember the revenge of killing his father, and don't forget the human principle of the snipe and clam fighting and the fisherman profiting.

Not to mention, when Wang Kai brought Lu Wenhou's handwritten letter to Cao Ying to sue for peace, Cao Boss was really startled, almost suspecting that today's sun was coming out of the west, until he read Lu Wenhou's handwritten letter and asked from Wang Kai about the detailed reason why Lu Wenhou bowed his head, the suspicious Cao Boss suddenly realized, and a happy smile appeared on his black face. At that moment, Boss Cao neither immediately agreed, nor refused on the spot, but just asked Wang Kai to go down and wait, and then give a reply after careful consideration, Wang Kai did not dare to disobey, but according to Chen Gong's guidance, he reminded Boss Cao of the revenge of killing his father and the reason that the snipe and the clam fought and the fisherman profited, and then honestly went out of the account to wait for the response.

As soon as Wang Kai left, Boss Cao immediately laughed, and gave a thumbs up to Cheng Yu, the blackest-hearted strategist under his command, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhongde's high strategy, as soon as the clever plan came out, Lu Butao Ying and the two thieves immediately turned against each other, and this plan was successful, and it was simply better than 100,000 male soldiers." ”

"Thank you for your praise." Cheng Yu humbly bowed his hand, and said: "I just don't know whether it's true or not, Chen Gong is resourceful, Tao Ying is deceitful, whether this plan is really successful, I'm afraid it will take time to verify." ”

"No need to verify." Boss Cao took out a few more documents and laughed: "Our army has repeatedly confirmed that Tao Ying's thief has indeed closed the border of Xuzhou and cut off all trade with Lu Bu, and the generals Gao Shun and Cao surnamed Cao of Lu Bu who came back from Xuzhou were also deprived of military power by Lu Bu's stupid pig, and they could not directly lead troops into battle." ”

"And that matter?" Cao Boss's strategists were all overjoyed, and hurriedly took over the detailed investigation report from Cao Boss, and then saluted Cao Boss and said hello, as well as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two fierce men sent by the Third Duke of Yuan, also hurriedly snatched these reports and read them carefully, and after reading them, Wen Chou was overjoyed and said: "Meng Degong, this is a great news, the last general thinks that Meng Degong can immediately agree to Lu Bu's request, let Lu Bu go back to Xuzhou to fight with Tao Ying's thief, and your two armies can take the opportunity to reap the benefits." ”

"Agree to Lu Bu's request?" A cold glint flashed in Boss Cao's eagle-like triangular eyes, he suppressed his smile and asked a gang of accomplices and lackeys, "What is your opinion?" Did our army take advantage of the fire to rob and storm Lu Bu, or did we promise Lu Bu to sue for peace and let him go to join Tao Ying's thief? ”

It was very unexpected by Boss Cao and Yan Liangwen, after looking at each other a few times, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Man Chong and Cheng Yu and other old foxes actually gave up their hands together, and said in unison: "Lord, you must not agree to Lu Bu to ask for peace, you must do everything to eliminate evil, and you must eliminate the roots, and the lord should seize this God-given opportunity to kill Lu Bu and eliminate the future troubles forever!" ”

"Why did the princes say a word?" Boss Cao asked in surprise.

"Ming Gong, Lu Bu is the surname of the jackal, if you don't get rid of it early, it will be a big disaster in the future!" Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu is capricious, Tao Ying is his son-in-law, and he still says that he has turned his face, not to mention that Ming Gong is an outsider?" Moreover, Lu Bu's quest for peace is just forced by the situation, and he must grab the grain as soon as possible, otherwise he will starve to death, if the Ming Duke agrees to his peace, Lu Bu will get a chance to breathe, and even get a foothold in Xuzhou's abundant land of money and grain, and then it will be even more difficult to break it. ”

"Lu Bu promised to return the three counties of Yanzhou after capturing Xuzhou, which is even more impossible." Xun You said to his uncle: "Lu Bu is a righteous and untrustworthy person, if he captures Xuzhou, he will inevitably covet Yanzhou, and he will never return the three counties of Yanzhou." If he can't capture Xuzhou, he has nowhere to stay, and he won't return the three counties of Yanzhou! And if the Duke of Ming temporarily lent the three counties of Yanzhou to Lü Bu to gain a foothold, our army would not only lose the road to the south, but also have to stay in Yanzhou to guard against Lü Bu's jackals, and the strength would continue to be contained by Lü Bu. ”

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? Lu Bu is the surname of the jackal, if the lord misses this opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the future, I hope the lord will think carefully! The other Cao bosses and lackeys are also opposed in unison - it can be seen that Lu Wenhou's failure as a man is indeed much better than that of the hypocrite's son-in-law.

Boss Cao nodded slowly, and after a little calculation, Boss Cao said again: "Is this feasible?" I first pretended to agree to Lu Bu to sue for peace, and when the war between Lu Bu and Tao Ying's thieves began, I will highlight the strange soldiers and go to wipe out Lu Bu and Tao Ying's thieves? ”

"Lord, this matter is too risky, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Guo Jia coughed and said: "Lu Bu is capricious, Tao Ying's thieves have cheated people, seeing that the situation is not good, the two thieves are afraid that they will collude with each other again and join forces to fight against our army, if so, the three counties of Yanzhou will definitely be more difficult to recover." ”

Considering that Lu Wenhou turned his face faster than a book, and considering Tao Ying's shamelessness and hypocrisy, Boss Cao finally gave up this wishful thinking, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Gong's words are reasonable, if Lu Bu does not get rid of the thief, I will not be at peace, I must seize this God-given opportunity, first get rid of Lu Bu, and then break Tao Ying!" ”

"Ming Gong's words are in line with the truth of the soldiers who have broken through." Uncle Liu Huang, the only one in the big tent who never spoke, finally spoke, and said calmly and firmly: "Lu Bu and Tao Ying are all capricious thieves, who can suddenly turn their faces and suddenly reunite. Ming Gong must seize this God-given opportunity, take advantage of Lu Bu's steep loss of strong reinforcements, and immediately take action to break the enemy, so that Lu Bu can not repeat, and Tao Ying's thief can not be saved. broke Lu Bu, Xuzhou Ming Gong is also at his fingertips. ”

Boss Cao glanced at Uncle Liu Huang appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Xuande's opinion is exactly what I want." Mr. Wen Ruo, I went to see Lu Bu's envoy Wang Kai for me, and said that I agreed to Lu Bu's request for peace, on the condition that after Lu Bu took the first county of Xuzhou, he must immediately return my three counties of Yanzhou! ”

"Ming Gong!" Almost everyone's words were frightened by Boss Cao's words.

"What's the hurry? I'm not done yet. Boss Cao smiled fiercely, and said: "Lu Bu knows that I am Xu He, I will definitely be negligent tonight, and tonight I will rob the camp and break the thief!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again, and then smiled together, even praising Boss Cao for his wisdom, faithfulness, soft-heartedness, and bodhisattva heart compared with Lu Wenhou and Deputy Director Tao, and Boss Cao turned to Uncle Liu Huang again, and said with a smile: "Xuande Gong, Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled, very invincible, tonight, I have to ask Xuande Gong to fight Lu Bu again." ”

"Ming Gong is relieved and wrapped up in the Taoyuan brothers." Uncle Liu Huang agreed with a smile on his lips, but scolded in his heart, "Thief, can't the fierce generals under your command go together?" Playing against a peerless general like Lu Bu, our three brothers may die if they make a slight mistake, and you are a thief for nothing! Destroy the thief, just rush at you for this deceit, and I will definitely replace you in the future! ”

"Very good, then I will ask Xuande Gong to be the pioneer of the robbery camp tonight." Boss Cao laughed proudly, immediately dispatched troops, and arranged for the army to secretly prepare for the robbery of the camp.

After Wang Kai brought Boss Cao's reply back to the camp of the Lu Bu army, not only Lu Wenhou was overjoyed, but even Chen Gong believed it, thinking that Boss Cao was either borrowing a knife to kill people, and wanted to let Lu Bujun and the Xuzhou army lose both, and let Boss Cao sit and reap the profits, or Boss Cao just wanted to play a slow enemy's strategy, first coaxed Lu Wenhou and Tao Ying to fight, and when the opportunity came, he would highlight the strange soldiers and wipe out Tao Ying and Lu Wenhou, so Chen Gong did not remind Lu Bu to be careful, Just let Lu Wenhou toss as much as he wants, hide aside and watch the changes, and then pull Lu Wenhou's wild horse back when the time is ripe.

After Wang Kai brought the peace treaty signed by Cao Boss back to the camp of the Lu Bu army, Lu Wenhou, who had been nervous for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the battalions to prepare for the withdrawal of the army the next day, Lu Wenhou returned to the sleeping tent to rest with confidence, and the officers and soldiers of the Lu Bu army, who had also been nervous for a long time, also relaxed, in addition to being busy preparing for the withdrawal of the army, the normal patrol and sentry were no longer as concerned as usual, but at this time, the biggest disaster of the Lu Bu army came......... … At the time of the third watch, the three allied forces of Cao Yuan and Liu, who had been gearing up for a long time, suddenly poured out, and the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang Taozi personally led the army as the vanguard, and quietly touched the side of the Lu Bu military camp under the cover of night, and suddenly shouted to kill into the camp together, kill people when they saw them, and burn the tent when they saw them, Lu Bu's army was caught off guard, and they were suddenly rushed into chaos, and the main elite of Cao Yingjun and Yuan Shao's army also took advantage of the situation to kill into the camp, and Liu Beijun joined forces to beat Lu Bu's army, and poor Lu Wenhou hurriedly rode a red rabbit horse out to meet the battle. ran headlong into the three peach brothers who were old enemies on the battlefield many years ago, and were forced to stage the Wenhou War again again.

Same as five years ago, one-on-one Lu Wenhou is not afraid of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but one-on-two Lu Bu is a little overwhelmed, fortunately there is also a Liu Huang Uncle next to help, Lu Bu as long as he is tight, he will immediately stab Liu Huang Uncle with a halberd, forcing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to save Liu Huang Uncle with his life, so although Lu Wenhou has lost the upper hand in a short period of time, he can barely support it. However, the good times did not last long, with the endless influx of Dian Wei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Li Dian and Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other fierce people, Lu Wenhou could only flee quickly, while scolding Cao Boss for his despicability and shamelessness, while leading the defeated army to abandon the camp and flee for his life, and finally borrowed the precious grain and grass from his son-in-law.

In the night battle, the powerful and well-prepared Cao Yuan coalition army occupied the absolute upper hand, dozens of teams rushed back and forth in the camp of the Lu Bu army, such as entering a no-man's land, although the soldiers of the Lu Bu army were brave, but suffered from insufficient preparation and inferior troops, they were killed by the Cao Yuan coalition army corpses all over the place, and the blood flowed like a river, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and Wei Xu and other generals of the Lu Bu army abandoned the camp and fled, Gao Shun and Cao surname, who were deprived of military rights, fortunately had the soldiers of the trapped camp to sacrifice their lives to rescue, and also rushed out of the camp surrounded by fire and the enemy at the same time to flee for their lives, Lu Bu's generals Cheng Lian, Xue Lan and Li Feng and others died in the melee one after another, the worst is to follow Lu Bu's Chen Liutai guard Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, he was unfortunately surrounded by Cao Hong and Cao Ren brothers in the process of breaking through, left and right rushed out of life, the soldiers around him are getting fewer and fewer, in desperation in order not to be captured and humiliated, he had to kill himself with a horizontal sword, but Cao Boss had a deep hatred for Zhang Miao's brothers, not only ordered the soldiers to whip Zhang Chao's corpse to vent his anger, but also broke Zhang Chao's corpse and scattered ashes, so that Zhang Chao's soul had nowhere to live.

It was a battle, more than 30,000 Lu Bu troops stationed on the Juyang battlefield lost more than 20,000, countless elite soldiers and strong generals were buried on the battlefield, precious grain and grass and military supplies were also lost, Lu Bu's army was completely injured, not only did he no longer have the strength to pose a threat to Cao Boss, but also even self-protection was a big problem, Lu Bu was forced to lead the defeated army to retreat to Dingtao, and the ruthless Cao Boss waved his division and drove all the way to the suburbs of Dingtao. Lü Bu's army had the intention to defend the city, but Dingtao City, which had been besieged by Cao's army for several months, was almost an empty city, with no food and grass to buy, and no people could loot, and at the same time it was possible to be cut off from Changyi by the enemy.

When the poor Marquis Lu Wen fled back to Changyi City in Shanyang County in embarrassment, the remnants of the defeated army around him were less than 10,000 people, but the combined forces of Cao Yuan and Liu had approached within fifty miles of Changyi, and they could pounce on Changyi City at any time to surround Changyi City on all sides. The grain and grass in the city can't last much time, and the lord must immediately send someone to Tao Ying for help, asking him to lead the army to save us, so that our army can have a chance to survive. ”

Lu Butie blushed and didn't speak, saying that he didn't bow his head to his former son-in-law, Chen Gong was in a hurry, and said with a pause: "Lord, now is not the time to think about face, Tao Ying is your son-in-law, why don't you open your mouth to him when you are in danger?" Take a step back and open the sky, temporarily bow to Tao Ying, get rid of the current critical situation, and say anything in the future. But if we can't get out of this crisis, we won't have a future! ”

Lu Bu was still a little unable to pull down, turned his head and calculated, but saw his beloved daughter Lu Die looking at him pitifully, with tears in her beautiful eyes, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, Lu Bu's heart was rarely soft, and sighed: "Go and ask Tao Ying, can he agree?" Not long ago, I killed his messenger. ”

Chen Gong was also stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Try it anyway, the lord can tell Tao Ying that as long as he can save you from this great disaster, any conditions can be discussed!" ”
