Chapter 5: Fight for Endurance

In a forage store in Xu Dushi, he kept pacing back and forth in the backyard of the store, and from time to time he stretched out his head to look at the gate of the backyard, as if he was waiting for someone anxiously.

"Wang Da has seen the eighth prince!"

"Wang Da is here? Tell me what's going on in the city? As soon as Wang Da entered the backyard, he was caught by Yixin.

"Eighth prince, the situation is very bad, the four city gates are guarded by Lu Rui with heavy soldiers, no one is allowed to enter and leave Xudu, even the people who pour the night incense have been replaced by Cao Jun's soldiers, and they can only be transported to the city gate, and then handed over to Cao Jun, who guards the gate, to transport them out of the city."

"Who is Cao Jun guarding the door?"

"The eighth prince, they are all tigers and leopards, Cao Cao's henchmen, it is difficult for us to send people to get in."

"What is the movement of the Cao army in the city?"

"Cao Jun in the city is checking the household registration door to door, as long as the permanent residents of the non-Xu capital are arrested and questioned, they are ready to go to our forage store as soon as possible."

"What! Ready to get here? Where is the second brother? Where is the second brother now? ”

"Eighth son, second son is still reading in the study!"

"Second brother, second brother, how can you still read here?" Yixin hurried to the study, pushed open the door, and anxiously asked the old horse.

"Eighth brother, don't worry, I'm Lao Ma, not your second brother!" Lao Ma glanced at Yixin unhappily, this younger brother has been smart since he was a child, but he is impatient, once there is a crisis situation, his heart will not be quiet, this is a taboo for soldiers!

"This? Second brother, isn't it like no one, it's all in our own house, second brother. Lu Rui has blocked the city gate. A large-scale search is being carried out for the permanent population of Feixudu. Are we going to find a way to get out of the city? What else is there to do? ”

"Action?" The old horse rolled his eyes and glanced at it wholeheartedly, action? Now action is tantamount to death!

"Yixin, do you think it's time to act? How do we act? To incite the people to create chaos at the city gates, and then we take the opportunity to run out? ”

"This?"

"Hmph, think about it with your brain, if you do this, we'll be startled. When the time comes, it will be easy for Lu Rui to catch us. ”

"Second brother, but Lu Rui is so searching, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will be arrested, when the time comes?"

"Yixin, think about it, how many people are there in Xudu? If Lu Rui can block Xu Du for a month, neither of us can escape, but Lu Rui can block Xu Du for so long? In my opinion, Lu Rui can block Xu Du for seven days at most, and after seven days. The gate of Xudu will be opened, and we can go out when the time comes. ”

"But. Second brother, if Lu Rui's people find us in the past seven days, and we go to prison, I'm afraid it will? He glanced at the old horse worriedly, if he was caught, everything would be over.

"Yixin, don't be anxious, Lu Rui's trick is very good, now that the New Year has just passed, except for the officials from all over the country who have entered Beijing, basically no outsiders will come to Xudu, Lu Rui used this opportunity to search for us, it was a good time to catch it, but Lu Rui did not have so many people in his hands!"

Lao Ma's eyes rolled, Lu Rui seized a good time, now is the New Year, the outsiders who used to be in Xudu have basically returned to their hometowns for the New Year, and now the outsiders who stay in Xudu City are probably rare, and at this time, arrest can be fine-tuned. The ancient wave of homecoming is not something that can be completed in a day or two, it will take at least a few months!

"What does the second brother mean?"

"The four gates are guarded by tiger and leopard riders, but Cao Cao can bring all the tiger and leopard riders back to Lu Rui? The war in Xiliang is tight, Ma Chao is not an idle person, the four gates have arranged tiger and leopard rides, and there are no tiger and leopard rides available in Lu Rui's hands. The old horse smiled, the master's move is interesting, the bluff can be used, but look at the object!

"What the second brother said is reasonable!" Yixin also calmed down, according to the information, the tiger and leopard cavalry is an army composed of Cao Wei's clan, the number is generally kept at five hundred, and the guards of the four gates: each city gate must be assigned at least twenty to thirty soldiers to deal with all emergencies, and the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao can bring back to Lu Rui is only one hundred.

"Lu Rui doesn't have a tiger and leopard to ride!"

"Yes, Lu Rui can only use his own soldiers on the general's mansion to search the city now, three hundred people, Lu Rui has a maximum of three hundred people available, three hundred people want to search Ruoda Xuchang City, it is impossible to complete it without January." There are regulations on the guards of the generals of the Han Dynasty, especially at the feet of the Emperor of Xudu, even if Lu Rui is presumptuous, he must take into account the Han system, and there are only a few hundred guards in Cao Cao's mansion, and Lu Rui cannot surpass Cao Cao.

"If Lu Rui uses the soldiers in Xu Capital City to search, and he is single-minded, isn't it just a matter of some money, what are you worried about? Lu Rui's purpose is just to startle the snake, let us take action as soon as possible, we should respond to all changes with the same, and it should be Lu Rui who is anxious. Lao Ma smiled, sometimes the role of women is very great, Lu Rui can withstand the pressure of the imperial court and Liu Xie, but the women in Cao Cao's mansion? I'm afraid Lu Rui can't stop it!

In the manor of Xu Du Cao Hong, Lu Rui was anxiously waiting for full favor in the study.

"Extraordinary?" Cao Hong opened the door of the study and walked in with an embarrassed face.

"Uncle Hong? What's wrong with you? Seeing a few scratches on Cao Hong's face, Lu Rui knew that what he expected was about to happen.

"Don't you know what's it for?"

"Alas, you really did a good errand, several sisters-in-law complained in Sikong Mansion, you didn't open the city gate until seven days later, and they were not satisfied."

"Uncle Hong, how is Sikong Mansion now?"

"How? You searched and arrested in the city, and you didn't let people out of the city, the women of those court officials were complaining, and they all gathered in Sikong Mansion, and my sister-in-law has sent people to Zhengbei General's Mansion many times to look for you, so it's good for you to hide from me. ”

"As expected, Uncle Hong, you should be wronged, don't tell them I'm here." Lu Rui touched his forehead, the woman of the Cao family, this is not good. The New Year is the best time for women to save their relatives in ancient times, especially the wealthy families, who generally rely on the New Year to return to their parents' homes and recount their family affection.

As soon as Lu Rui blocked Xu Du, everyone missed the opportunity to save their relatives, and it was impossible for Lu Rui not to be complained. Lu Rui has the ability to make Xu Du an isolated city, but he is powerless to confront China's traditional culture and culture, which is looking for death!

"Extraordinary, I won't go back tonight, the women in the family are arguing, the children are clamoring to go back to their grandfather's house, and your aunt is also complaining about me, I came out on the grounds that I have military affairs." Cao Hong shook his head helplessly, alas! The man of the Cao family can't return to a home, this is depressing!

"Uncle Hong rest assured, Uncle Hong led the troops back to Xudu, after this incident, Bufan will definitely give a generous gift to thank his uncle!" Lu Rui smiled, Cao Hong, a miser, is going to make money again.

"Then Uncle Hong, thank you so much!"

"Uncle Hong is polite!" Lu Rui smiled and promised Cao Hong, but he was muttering in his heart, fight for endurance? It seems that seven days is really the limit. (To be continued......)
