Peng Cheng Xiang Zhao Yu has been anxious these days, of course, he is worried about the affairs of the Yanzhou Army.

According to Cao Cao's own plan, the current Yanzhou army should be in mutual restraint, and Xu Shu and Xu Ji should also start to have contradictions, but nothing in front of them is right.

Although Zhao Yu was full of confidence in Cao Cao, he couldn't help but waver now, the only person he could trust now was Xue Li and Zhenrong, who brought himself into Buddhism and turned himself into a disciple of Shamen. In the past two years, under the influence of Xue Li and the others, Zhao Yu has developed a great interest in dealing with Buddhism, and has established a large number of Buddhist temples in Pengcheng.

Therefore, the only thing Zhao Yu can rest assured about now is the issue of unity in the city.

Watching the Yanzhou army slowly retreat, Zhao Yu let out a long breath and knew that he had survived it today. Now that the Yanzhou army is attacking the city day by day, Zhao Yu is simply tired of coping, and he can support it for a day.

Turning his head to look at Xue Li and Narrow Rong who were whispering not far away, Zhao Li walked over and smiled tiredly: "The two gentlemen have worked hard today, and I don't know when Cao Gong's army will be able to support us." Xue Li, who had a long face, had a benevolent smile on his face and said: "Lord Zhao don't worry, there is a fate in all ages, we walk in the world, every qiē hue is a test of our souls, the so-called joy of life, what is the fear of death, in an instant, it is already a long time of life and death." What if Cao Mengde comes, what if he doesn't? What do you have to do with me? No joy or sorrow, no joy and no sorrow, no joy and no sorrow, nothing else. ”

Zhao Yu said in awe: "Mr. has learned the right lesson. It's still Zhao Yu's photo. But. What should I do at this moment? The dark face melted with a solemn face, and said softly: "Everything in heaven and earth has a time when the tide rises and falls. After all, my generation is in the world of Daluo, and the sun rises. When the sun sets, what's the question? Life in the world is just a passerby of heaven and earth, and if you come, you will be safe, why are there so many questions? ”

Zhao Yu was suddenly enlightened, and nodded again and again: "Disciple understands, I'll go back to my room to sleep." ”

With that, Zhao Yu turned around and left here. Seeing Zhao Yu leave, Xue Li immediately put away his face full of compassion. A pair of triangular eyes flashed, looked at Zhen Rong, and asked: "Now our situation is indeed not good, Meng Degong has not won the victory yet, and we are still in Pengcheng, when will this be?" ”

Zhen Rong frowned and said: "Things are indeed very strange, since more than ten days ago, Xia Cai and other places have lost contact with us, it seems that our Peng City is more like an empty city." Until now. We don't even know who the leader of the other side is, and this battle is really a wreck...... Could it be that Cao Cao lost the battle? It must be known that Xu Ji is notoriously powerful, and we really shouldn't provoke it lightly. Xue Li said impatiently: "What's the use of talking about this now?" Didn't you say that Cao Mengde had a trick to deal with Xu Ji, and said that he was nine out of ten. Otherwise, where would I have waded into this troubled water? ”

Zhen Rong was stunned and said, "Teacher." How can this depend on me? It was the teacher who said that we should take refuge in Liu Xuan. Because the relationship between Liu Miao and Xu Ji and Cao Cao is very special, we will be invincible if we take refuge in Liu Ji. As for helping Cao Cao this time, doesn't the teacher also think it's foolproof? Why should I be blamed for this? ”

Xue Li snorted coldly: "I didn't expect your kid's wings to be stiff." actually learned to talk back to me, why didn't I see you oppose it when I agreed with Cao Cao's plan at that time? Now what's the use of saying it as an afterthought? What a piece of rubbish. Not to mention the question of how to get out, but to shirk responsibility here. It's really rotten wood that can't be carved. Hearing this, Zhen Rong lowered his head and said yes, but his eyes were full of resentment, obviously dissatisfied with Xue Li, but unfortunately Xue Li couldn't see it, and said in a deep voice: "We can't sit still, it's best to send someone out of the city to reconnoitre." But in my opinion, Cao Cao is really in trouble, at this time, we still have to find a way to save our lives, but it really can't be done, so we will sacrifice Pengcheng, which will definitely allow us to escape, and maybe there will be high-ranking officials waiting for us. We are not Cao Cao's people, so why bother to work for them? Zhen Rong raised his head at this time, and said with a respectful face: "I just don't know how the teacher wants to plan this matter, when the Yanzhou army attacks us a lot but there is no result, the other party must be very annoyed, if we rush out of the city, maybe it will cause the hostility of the Yanzhou army, but kill us, it will not be good." ”

Xue Li had a sneer on his face, and said with a gloomy face: "This matter is very easy to say, we can kill Zhao Yu first, and then completely put the responsibility on the dead ghost Zhao Yu, how can the Yanzhou army still make it difficult for us?" Hearing this, Zhen Rong applauded: "The teacher's plan is wonderful, in this way, the Yanzhou Army will definitely accept us." ”

Xue Li's face showed a unique kindness again, and he smiled: "Buddhism pays attention to who goes to hell if I don't go to hell, and it is also a good thing that Zhao Yu can make such a contribution to the health of the two of us in this troubled world, we should really thank him, so let's do it, when we do it, we will start cleanly and neatly, so that he will be less tortured." Zhen Rong said with a smile: "The teacher is merciful, and Zhao Yu should be satisfied with sleeping underground." But should we scout first, lest we make a mistake? ”

The two laughed together, originally just whispering, but now they laughed, causing the soldiers who were still standing at the head of the city to look sideways, seeing the two of them looking very happy, and thinking that the two had come up with a plan to deal with the Yanzhou army.

At this time, the sun in the sky finally set over the mountains, hiding the last bit of light from itself.

Early the next morning, it was still a raging war drum, which made Zhao Yu crawl out of bed and curse loudly, why did the Yanzhou army disturb people's dreams so early.

When Zhao Yu and the others yawned and rushed to the head of the city, they found that the head of the Pengcheng dunge was surprisingly quiet, Zhao Yu was surprised, and when he came to the head of the city to look down, he found that the Yanzhou army, which was regarded as a flood beast, was standing neatly outside the city like an artificially planted forest at this time, quiet without any sound. In front of this army, only a war horse was kicking its steps back and forth. And the owner of this war horse was not a well-known general in the Yanzhou army, but a scribe.

Zhao Yu saw that person. His face turned pale, and he snorted, "Oh no." It turned out to be Xu Shu. ”

As a local family in Xuzhou, Zhao Yu certainly knew Xu Shu, after all, he had seen Xu Shu at a banquet before. Although Xue Li and Zhen Rong, who came later, did not know Xu Shu, they knew what role this Xu Shu played in Cao Cao's plan. But now this Xu Shu, who should have surrendered to Cao Cao and was in conflict with Xu Ji in their imagination, actually appeared here, which really shocked them.

Xue Li and Zhen Rong glanced at each other, saw each other's shock, and looked down to the city together.

Xu Shu was in high spirits at this time, with a strong and confident smile on his handsome face, and looked up to see the three of them appear in the city. Only then did he say in a loud voice: "Lord Zhao Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhao Yu still couldn't wake up from the shock at this time, and said in a lost voice: "Impossible." How could you be here? ”

Xu Shu laughed and said, "Sir is asking me why I didn't obey Cao Gong's orders, not only did I not restrain the Yanzhou army, but I also personally led the troops to attack Pengcheng, right?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded distractedly. Xu Shu's face turned full, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Lord Zhao Yu is going to be disappointed, because the whole thing in front of him is the layout of my lord's father-in-law." As early as more than two years ago, Cao Mengde's strategy was seen through by my family master, Cao Cao. Now that he has fallen into the encirclement of our army, Cao Mengde is only afraid that his time is running out, and he is just surviving. ”

Zhao Yu and the three of them panicked when they heard this. I didn't expect the worst to happen. And this situation was completely unexpected. The three of them completely lost their ability to adapt and countermeasures. Zhao Yu stiffened and said reluctantly: "Xu Shu." Don't be a deceitful. These days, your Yanzhou army has repeatedly attacked the city, and you are helpless against our army. I can't beat Pengcheng now. But it's talking nonsense there, is it trying to earn me to open the city? Don't! Finally, he let out a long laugh to hide his panic. But anyone can hear the inwardness.

Xu Shu was unmoved, and said with a smile: "That's just my plan to stabilize the army." After all, we had to complete the encirclement of Cao Cao some time ago, and I was afraid that you would break through and leave and leak the news. But it doesn't matter now, the overall situation has been decided, you have lost the value of the deposit, and Xu Shu has no time to play with you. Zhao Yu and the three of them were thrilled when they heard this, and they already felt that what Xu Shu said was true, Zhao Yu reluctantly calmed down: "Since you have this ability, then you can quickly break the city, and you must talk more nonsense here?" ”

Xu Shu said casually: "Mr. Zhao Yu, self-confidence is of course a good thing, but self-confidence without reason is just self-deception and arrogance." The reason why I bothered to talk here today is because I feel that the people of the city are suffering with Cao Cao, and it is really not worth it, so I can't bear it, so I will come out to negotiate with you. We don't want you to reply immediately, but before the afternoon, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then by that time, our Yanzhou army will begin to really attack the city, and before the evening, the Yanzhou army can enter the city, and at that time I will invite Mr. Zhao Yu to drink? Zhao Yu and the other three were stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood that what Xu Shu said was that the wine on the ground was the bowl of wine that the prisoner drank before his head was decapitated, and they were all shocked at the moment.

Xu Shuce turned back to the horse's head and shouted to the head of Pengcheng City: "Listen to the soldiers and civilians of Pengcheng, this matter is related to your fate, where to go, think for yourself, I, Xu Shu, will do what I say, don't regret it when the time comes, you can't buy regret medicine even if you go to Shennong!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the camp, but he was snickering in his heart: "I said this to Xue Li, two people with a heart, if I am not mistaken, before noon, Pengcheng will undergo great changes." After Xu Shu returned to the camp, the soldiers of Pengcheng were relieved that they had escaped another difficulty, and they didn't have time to think about Xu Shu's words, the current Pengcheng soldiers were just getting by.

Zhao Yu greeted Xue Li and the two of them back to the meeting hall in Pengcheng with a sad face, and drove all his subordinates out, saying that it was uncomfortable to be too crowded, and only after there were no more idle people in the hall waited, they sat down on the seats. He asked the two of them, "Two gentlemen, what now?" ”

Xue Li and Narrow Rong glanced at each other, and they both saw the other party's murderous intentions, and knew that the other party and himself both had the same thoughts. At that moment, Xue Li stood up and slowly walked towards Zhao Li. is still full of compassion on his face: "Lord Zhao Li, the matter has come to this point." I think it's better to go out of the city and surrender. This is for the people of the city, God has the virtue of a good life, Buddhism pays attention to the purification of all sentient beings, and said that saving people's lives is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter, Lord Zhao Li, please think twice. Zhao Yu was unwilling to say: "No, I will not agree to the surrender, Yanzhou is embarrassed with us, and the famous families in the world are disgraced, how can I, Zhao Yu, succumb to the obscenity of the Yanzhou army?" This matter is not negotiable. What's more, we have already promised Mengde. How can you go back on your word? ”

Xue Li had already come to Zhao Yu's approach at this time. Pacing back and forth, he said in a compassionate tone: "I have long said to adults that all benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and shame are 'empty' for Buddhists. Why insist? It is the true nature of my Shamen disciples who are at peace with what they encounter. ”

Zhao Yu frowned and looked at Xue Li, and frowned: "Sir's words are wrong, and he has not practiced the way of God. Humanity is cultivated first, and humanity is not yet close. Shinto is far away. Didn't you say all these things from the gentleman? Why has the narrative changed now? Leave me at a loss? ”

Between words. The Rong in the back had already secretly stood up. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to move.

Xue Li had already come to Zhao Yu's side at this time. With a smile on his face, he said, "My lord misunderstood what I meant, so let me explain the reason for my lord." Zhao Yu heard this. Involuntarily leaned forward and looked at Xue Li longingly, hoping that Xue Li would show him a clear path, and at this time he was still so interested in these ethereal truths. It shows that Zhao Yu is already deep in mud and incorrigible.

Xue Li took the opportunity to go around behind Zhao Yu, before Zhao Yu could react. Xue Li slammed Zhao Yu's neck and yelled at Zhen Rong, who was already ready to go: "If you don't do it, when will you wait?" ”

Rong walked forward with an arrow. Pulling out the saber at his waist, he stabbed into Zhao Yu's chest at once. Blood poured down the wound. Zhao Yu was not even able to make a voice by Xue Lile. He rolled his eyes and died.

Zhen Rong pulled out his long sword, ignoring the armor that was stained red by Zhao Yudi's blood, and said indifferently to Xue Li: "The teacher is decisive, so that the disciple admires." ”

Xue Li laughed and said: "You kid is quick, it can be said that you are better than blue." Okay, let's open the city now and let the Yanzhou army into the city. ”

Zhen Rong lowered the tip of the long sword to the ground, smiled at Xue Li, and said, "Teacher, please." Xue Li was satisfied at this time, laughed, stepped forward, and came to Zhenrong's side, but he felt that his ribs were numb, and he only felt a cold hard object inserted into his body, which made him feel unbearable pain, and he couldn't help screaming.

When he looked down, he saw that Zhenrong's long sword was being pulled out of his body, and he realized that he was attacked by Zhenrong, a proud disciple, and couldn't help but be angry and said, "Zhenrong, what are you doing?" Why did you sneak up on me? Zhen Rong said calmly: "I've long been fed up with you calling at me, and now that I have a chance to kill you, how can I not cherish it?" ”

Xue Li yelled, "I'm your teacher." The voice was filled with the desperation of a trapped beast.

Zhen Rong smiled and said: "Teacher, this Zhao Yu lying on the ground is still our friend, the teacher can kill a friend, why can't I kill the teacher?" The so-called counter counts people, and everyone calculates it. Aren't teachers always prescient? Why can't you think about it? Xue Li was already sweating profusely at this time, fell to the ground, covered the wound gushing with blood with his hands, and groaned: "I don't understand, what is the benefit of you doing this? Am I still going to hinder you from joining the Yanzhou Army? ”

Zhen Rong smiled and said: "The teacher is really confused, don't forget it, although we have a huge influence on Zhao Yu, but Pengcheng's army is not under our command, now that Zhao Yu is dead, can his right-hand men not investigate this matter?" In that case, when will we be able to open the gates of Pengcheng, the best way now is to turn the teacher into a scapegoat, so that people think that the teacher killed Zhao Yu, and I am a righteous murderer, a hero who avenges Lord Zhao Yu, and is more qualified to decide the fate of Pengcheng. Xue Lizhi was already struggling to breathe, and when he heard the words, he said hatefully: "You will not die well in the future." Narrow Rong smiled: "But I will not refuse to die at the hands of my own apprentice, because I will never trust anyone, okay, teacher, please go on the road." After that, a sword pierced into the chest, and Xue Li died tragically on the spot, and then he shouted loudly: "Lord Zhao Li is dead, come quickly." That's when someone heard the sound and barged in.

And the result of the matter is as Di Rong said, Peng Cheng has no leader, under Di Rong's proposition, Peng Cheng opened the city gate and led Xu Shu's army into the city.

This marked the complete collapse of Cao Cao's flank, and Cao Cao's army became a veritable lone army. (To be continued......)
