Lu Bu was particularly depressed, today's battle, it can be said that there were heavy losses, not only Gao Shun and the trapped camp, after returning to the city, counting the men and horses, each department had different losses, Cao Xing was ordered to lead the cavalry to attack the left flank of Liu's army, but also fell into the chaos, life and death are unknown. Lu Bu originally wanted to boost his morale with a big victory, but in the end, he had to use a fiasco to make morale even more sluggish, and the entire Tancheng was gloomy and sluggish.

Other Lu Bu may not care, but the whole army trapped in the camp made him sad, and the effort and cost of building this army Lu Bu for it is immeasurable, in order to firmly control this army, although he felt that Gao Shun was loyal, but he still let his brother-in-law Wei Xu be responsible for the daily management of this army, but Wei Xu's ability was limited, and he had to let Gao Shun charge into battle with this army, it can be said that Lu Bu was painstaking in leading the trapped camp. But it was this team that had brought him countless victories and countless trips to the sky that had pierced through the enemy's strong defense line today, and today it fell into Liu Ze's trap in an almost tragic way, and none of them were returned, which made Lu Bu want to cry without tears.

And today's fiasco, for Lu Bu's self-confidence is undoubtedly a heavy blow, this sneak attack is generally relatively hasty, there is no full preparation at all, Liu Ze suddenly south to Xuyi, Cao Bao delivered the letter to Xiaopei, there is no time to give Lu Bu any room to think, just in Xuzhou to gain a foothold, Liu Ze killed a back horse pistol, broke through the Yishui Pass guarded by Zhang Liao, and drove straight to the city of Tancheng. In just a few days, from a windfall to the bottom. Lu Bu once again experienced the joys and sorrows of life, the difference is that in Yanzhou he was still entangled with Cao Cao for more than a year, but this time, from the peak of the wave to the trough of the waves, it was almost just a blink of an eye, and many places in Xuzhou City, Lu Bu had not yet set foot in many places.

Lu Bu was a little desperate, and he even regretted it a little, Xuzhou looked like a big pie. It's a pity for him who is hungry. This piece of cake doesn't have any meaning, it's just a piece of cake drawn on paper.

What's next? Lu Bu didn't have any bottom in his heart, he was trapped in the lonely city, and the only way waiting for him was a dead end. Before Liu Zelin's southern expedition. All the money and grain in the Xuzhou City Treasury have been removed. In the warehouse, there was no droplet, and Lu Bu's tens of thousands of horses. I have to eat and drink every day, and the grain and grass brought by Xiaopei have been exhausted, which makes Lu Bu's confidence in holding Xuzhou drop to a freezing point.

Xu Yan and Wang Kaijian were engaged in Zhonglang Xu Yan and Wang Kaijian yì Lu Bu requisitioned grain and grass from Xuzhou City to replenish the army: "The people of Xuzhou are rich, and Wenhou might as well requisition grain and grass from the people to solve the urgent need." ”

Chen Deng immediately objected, saying: "This move is to drink doves to quench thirst, after Liu Ze took charge of Xuzhou, he lightly punished the meager endowment, and the people supported it, if Wenhou forcibly expropriated food from the people, it would inevitably provoke a popular uprising." Now that Liu Ze's troops are pressing, Wen Hou should appease the people, and work together inside and outside to ensure that Xuzhou is not lost. ”

Lu Bu didn't understand the consequences of requisitioning grain from the people, but now that there was a shortage of grain and grass, he really had nothing to do. "If you can't collect food from the people, and the army is exhausted, what can I do?"

Chen Gong said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, Xiao Pei still has Wei Xu leading an army to guard, and tens of thousands of grains can be stored, so that Wei Xu can bring troops to Tancheng with grain, one can solve the danger of grain and grass, and the other can strengthen the momentum of our army." ”

"If Wei Xu comes, who can guard Xiaopei?" Lu Bu said suspiciously.

"Xiao Pei's lonely city can't be defended, if the lord Xuzhou is lost, the skin will not exist, Mao will be attached, and Xiao Pei will definitely not be able to keep it. Rather than this, it is better to move Xiaopei's military horses and money and grain to Xuzhou, and everyone will work together to guard Xuzhou. Chen Gong said.

Lu Bu thought about it, now that his troops are insufficient, the food and grass are not enough, and if he divides the troops to garrison the two places, his strength will be even thinner, it is better to unite the troops, and he may still have the ability to fight to the death with Liu Ze. So he sent someone to Xiaopei to give an order, so that Wei Xu abandoned Xiaopei, and the general's horses and grains were all moved to Tancheng.

"That being the case, Liu Ze sits on the land of three counties, and our army fights with one city, the disparity in strength is huge, and it is difficult for Xuzhou to be preserved, do you have a better strategy?" Lu Bu asked the generals.

Everyone was silent, Chen Gong pondered for a moment and said: "Kaiyang Zangba supports the army to defend itself, there is no one to mobilize at all, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai is fighting with Yuan Shao at this time, taking care of himself, Cao Cao and we have a deep hatred, at this time it is already fortunate not to come to the well, only Huainan Yuan Shu, the lord can send a messenger to go, Chen said that it is powerful, please send troops to rescue." ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "I have a deep grudge against Yuan Shu, I'm afraid he won't send troops to help." ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "The lord is too worried, the grudge between the lord and Yuan Shu is just some resentment, this time Liu Ze and Yuan Shu fought against Xuyi, Yuan Shu was defeated, and the two families can be said to have formed an indissoluble deep feud." If Liu Ze takes Xuzhou, he will definitely send troops to Huainan to retaliate against Yuan Shu. The lord only needs to send a fickle person to Yuan Shuchen and say that it is amazing, now we and Yuan Shu are cold, and we must watch and help each other, not to mention that the lord only needs to benefit and promise to share Xuzhou with Yuan Shu after the matter is completed, why worry about Yuan Shu not to be moved. As long as Yuan Shu can send troops, the danger of Xuzhou will be naturally solved. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "The public platform is a good plan!" Just act according to the plan of the public platform, and send ...... envoy to Huainan" Lu Bu glanced down, pointed at the lord Bo Qin Yilu and said: "Lord Qin, the envoy to Huainan will be up to you." ”

Qin Yilu was slightly stunned, and arched his hand: "My subordinates are only shallow in their studies, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and I will lose the trust of the lord." ”

Lu Bu said a little unhappily: "Benhou is now employing people, what is the reason for you to prevaricate, is it possible that you don't want to go to Huainan?" ”

Qin Yilu couldn't help but shudder, Lu Bu was very angry, the consequences were very strict, he said with sincere fear: "How dare my subordinates, my subordinates are just worried about the trust of the lord to wait, since the lord ordered his subordinates to go, his subordinates will do their best to handle this matter wholeheartedly, without losing the hope of the lord." ”

Lu Bu's face softened a little, and said: "Qin Lord Bo, persuading Yuan Shu to send troops is the only way to save the crisis in Xuzhou, you must not take it lightly, this public knows that you can be fickle and clever, you will definitely be able to persuade Yuan Shu, and when you come back, Ben Hou will be rewarded." You can go with confidence, your wife and children, Benhou will take care of it. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Qin Yilu resignedly agreed, got up to leave, and prepared his bags when he went home.

Qin Yilu's home is not far from the state pastor's house, and he didn't walk a few steps to arrive, he also just followed Lu Bu to Tancheng, although the yard is not small, it looks like three entrances inside and out, but it is too late to clean up, it is very simple.

The errand given by Lu Bu is not easy, leaving Tancheng and going south to Huainan, all the way is Liu Ze's territory, as long as he shows a little horse's feet, it is a place where he will die without a burial, besides, he went to Huainan to see Yuan Shu, whether he can complete the mission is also unknown, Yuan Shu has Yuan Shu's own plans, even if there is no substantive thing in the rhetoric, it is difficult to impress Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is not ordinary greed.

As soon as Qin Yilu entered the door, he ordered his subordinates to pack up their things, and his wife's Du led his five-year-old son Qin Lang out of the back room, and said in surprise when he saw this: "Husband, do you want to go far away?" ”

"Yes, Lu Wenhou sent me to Huainan to move rescue troops to Yuan Highway, and prepare to set off overnight." Qin Yilu said helplessly and looked at his wife. Although Du Shi is a cloth cloth, but it is difficult to hide the natural beauty, moth eyebrows like the moon, red lips and white teeth, although she has long passed the age of a young girl, but the charm of a mature young woman is scattered all over her body, and the faint sorrow between her eyebrows is more and more moving, and there is always a feeling of pity.

Du Shi's lips opened lightly: "Husband, how long have you been here?" ”

Qin Yilu sighed and said: "Huainan is a long way, and I have to go to the Xiapi Kingdom under Liu Ze's control, I need to disguise myself as a businessman, I really don't know how long I walked, hey, Wen Hou's life, I have to follow." Lady, after I leave, Wen Hou will take care of your mother and son. ”

Du Shi's body trembled when he heard this, his face turned pale suddenly, and tears flowed, Qin Yilu thought that his wife was worried about him, so he hurriedly reached out to support her, and said with concern: "Don't worry, lady, I will go early and return early, you don't care." ”

Qin Lang hugged Qin Yilu's leg and cried: "Daddy, don't you go...... Don't you go......" Qin Yilu couldn't take care of the Du family, and leaned over to coax his son.

Du wiped away his tears and hugged his son. At this time, the entourage arranged by Lu Bu for Qin Yilu outside the door was already calling him, Qin Yilu didn't care about saying anything, he told Du Shi a few words, and went out to leave.

Du Shi looked at her husband's distant back stupidly, and a sense of sadness came to her heart. She will never forget that dark and windy night, when a ghostly demon crept into her room and defiled her. She recognized him, he was the lord Lu Bu who was worshiped as a saint by her husband, and at that moment, he was a despicable and shameless clothed beast. She was just a weak woman, all the struggles and resistance were in vain, she could only bear this humiliation silently with tears, and she didn't dare to tell her husband about this afterwards, and the cowardly husband had no ability to resist Lu Bu at all. But this demon was not satisfied with this, and transferred Qin Yilu away again and again under various excuses, and came over again and again to entangle her, so that every time she heard the news that her husband was going out, she had palpitations.

Since ancient times, she couldn't help but lament her fate, maybe she was destined to be unable to escape this clutches in this life.

Tears streamed down her cheeks again, and she murmured in a voice that was almost inaudible to herself, "Brother Changsheng, where are you ......" (to be continued......
