Night shrouded Luoyang City.

The noisy city during the day was immersed in his dreams like a sleeping giant in the night.

The only thing left in the streets of the city was the sound of the patrolmen's leather boots stepping on the bluestone pavement as they walked.

On the shore of the lake in the back garden of the palace, a delicate figure is standing under the shade of the willows, looking at the lake with a little silver light in the night.

Leading Wang Liu and Wang Zhen into the back garden of the palace, Liu Wei was about to go to Guan Qing's bedroom to rest, when he suddenly saw a figure on the shore of the lake, so he stopped and whispered to Wang Liu behind him: "Go and see who is there!" ”

Wang Liu answered, and quickly walked towards the shore of the lake.

After a while, Wang Liu turned back and said to Liu Wei, who was standing on the road waiting: "Your Royal Highness, it is Princess Anyang who is standing by the lake. ”

"Princess Anyang?" His eyelids lowered slightly, and Liu Wei raised his feet and walked towards the lake.

Wang Liu and Wang Zhen glanced at each other and followed closely behind him.

"Princess!" When he arrived at the shore, Liu Wei gently called out to the sable cicada standing in the shade of the willows.

was looking at the lake in a daze, and when she heard Liu Bian calling her, Diao Chan quickly turned around and saluted Liu Bian.

Chao Diao Chan raised his hand weakly, and Liu Wei said to her: "The princess doesn't need to be polite, and now it's night, why doesn't the princess go back to the room to rest?" ”

"Your Highness!" Lowering her head, Diao Chan's pretty face flushed slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "Dare to ask Your Highness, but do you really rescue Wen Hou?" ”

"If it's not sincere, how can the princess be here?" As soon as Diao Chan's words fell, Liu Wei replied and said: "Wen Hou is a powerful general today, how can this king bear to watch him die at the hands of Cao Cao?" ”

"The thing of the day was that the concubine instigated Wen Hou!" When talking to Liu Bian, Diao Chan no longer used the title of "princess", but humbly called "concubine", just from this sentence, Liu Bian heard that she must have asked for something.

Sure enough, Diao Chan then said to Liu Wei: "Wen Hou has no intention of offending His Royal Highness, when he was in Xuzhou, whenever he mentioned the events of the day, Wen Hou was still heartbroken!" ”

"The princess doesn't need to say more!" Waving his hand to Diao Chan, Liu Wei said to her: "This king already knows what the princess is going to say!" The events of the day were already clear to the king, and the princess did not intend to murder the king, but someone secretly instigated it, so that the princess was overlooked for a while! ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Liu Wei said this, Diao Chan's heart was ashamed and panicked a few layers deeper, she bent her legs, knelt on the ground, looked up at Liu Wei and said: "The concubine is guilty, I hope His Royal Highness will forgive Wen Hou!" Even if His Royal Highness wants to kill or chop, the concubine will receive everything! ”

"If the princess had been like this to Wen Hou earlier, she wouldn't be where she is today!" Stretching out his hands to help Diao Chan up, Liu Wei sighed lightly and said to her: "I think it's in Xuzhou, Wen Hou's affection for the princess makes the princess feel grateful in her heart!" Knowing who is worth cherishing in this world is extremely rare for each of us! The princess is willing to die for Wen Hou today, how can this king be willing to open a pair of mandarin ducks? ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei turned his head to Wang Liu behind him and asked, "Has General Zhao ever sent a letter?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are no letters!" After following Liu Wei for a long time, as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen could immediately know what he wanted to do, Wang Liu hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "However, General Zhao sent someone to report that Wen Hou had arrived in Xiapi, and our army's Hu Benwei followed. Cao Jun was afraid of our army and did not dare to launch a strong attack on Wenhou! ”

"Did the princess hear that?" As soon as Wang Liu's words fell, Liu Wei asked Diao Chan.

Diao Chan is not in Xuzhou at the moment, and is thousands of miles away from Lu Bu.

On the way to Luoyang, she worried about Lu Bu every day.

After all, there are only more than 500 trapped camps under Lu Bu's command, although the trapped camp is trained by Gao Shun and has absolute loyalty to Lu Bu, but they must be too few in number, competing with tens of thousands of Cao troops, as long as they are surrounded by Cao troops, I am afraid they will not be able to survive a war.

There are still some doubts about what Wang Liu said, but Diao Chan has no more choice, so he can only choose to believe what Wang Liu said.

Lowering her head, she pursed her lips tightly, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness's kindness, the concubine has already remembered it deeply!" If Marquis Wen returns to Luoyang, the concubine will definitely ask him to die for His Royal Highness, and he will not dare to have half a heart! ”

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei nodded slowly.

For Lu Bu, it is always impossible for Liu Wei to let go of it!

After all, Lu Bu is also a hero in his heart, unless he is allowed to sit on a heavy army and tear the earth and seal the king, I am afraid that nothing can satisfy Lu Bu.

What Liu Wei wants to do is to restore the Han Dynasty and make the Han Dynasty orthodox and prosperous.

People who have the mentality of splitting the soil and sealing the king, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Liu Wei to achieve their dreams.

But Lu Bu's martial arts and bravery are unmatched in the world, even if Zhao Yun and Lu Bu fought that day, it was also full of dangers, if it wasn't for the generals to arrive, the result would be difficult to predict!

For Lu Bu to return to Luoyang in the future, Liu Wei has already made a plan, although he will not give him the opportunity to reorganize the army again, but he will give more rewards and trust than before.

After all, the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command can now be said to have been wiped out, and the Qin army has absolute loyalty to Liu Wei.

In the future, it is not impossible to give Lu Bu's army and be led by him!

Looking at Diao Chan, Liu Wei nodded slowly, and said to her: "Princess, go back and rest, this king already knows the princess's mind!" ”

Liu Wei asked her to go back to rest, Diao Chan didn't dare to disobey, Shi Shiran saluted Liu Wei, and then turned around and went to the accommodation arranged for her in the back garden.

Lu Bu's daughter also came to Luoyang with Diao Chan and Chen Gong, and Liu Wei had already settled his daughter in the residence of Lu Bu's two wives.

As for Diao Chan, if she was too close to the princesses, Liu Wei was worried that his princesses would speak coldly to Diao Chan because of the events of the day, so he asked her to settle her farther away.

Looking at the back of Diao Chan leaving, Liu Wei sighed softly.

"Why does Your Highness sigh?" also looked at Diao Chan's back, and heard Liu Wei suddenly let out a soft sigh, and Wang Zhen behind him asked in a low voice.

"Poor Princess Anyang, in the past, she also made great contributions to Dong Zhuo!" Looking at the direction in which Diao Chan's back disappeared, Liu Wei said to Wang Zhen: "If it weren't for Lu Bu's single-mindedness towards her, what would she have left in this world?" ”

"His Royal Highness has been very kind to Lu Bu and Princess Anyang, if the two of them dare to rebel in the future, the last general will be the first to behead them!" Liu Wei sighed for Lu Bu and Diao Chan in his heart, but Wang Liu and Wang Zhen would not think like him, Wang Liu frowned slightly, and said to Liu Wei in an unusually resolute tone.

Liu Wei didn't speak, some things he knew very well what was happening, but he couldn't tell the reason to anyone around him.

Even to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, he can't say anything to excuse Lu Bu's rebellion that day, once this kind of words come out of his mouth, I am afraid that many people will do some rebellious things with the reasons he said in the future!

Chen Gong took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Huainan, and Liu Wei also settled Diao Chan properly, at this time, near Xiapi, Lu Bu and less than 500 soldiers under his command were hiding in the mountain nest, waiting to attack Cao's army again.

On the way from Xuzhou to Xiapi, Lu Bu and others had already fought several battles with Cao Jun.

Due to Chen Gong's advance mention, every time he launched an attack on Cao's army, Lu Bu adopted a strategy of fighting shallowly and leaving.

Now he is fighting, which is different from the earlier defense of Xuzhou.

Before Cao's army broke through Xuzhou, Lü Bu was an enemy of Cao Cao in order to have a place to stay.

Now that he is about to reach Xiapi, Lu Bu fought with Cao's army along the way, in order to contain Cao's army, so that Cao Cao was afraid of him, and he did not dare to send troops to Huainan easily for the time being.

Liu Wei and Cao Cao both set their sights on Huainan, but they did Yuan Shu a great favor invisibly, at this time Yuan Shu arranged troops in Huainan and waited to meet the army entering Huainan, not mentioning it for the time being, only saying that Lu Bu led the soldiers of the trapped camp into the valley.

In the valley, there is not a single fire.

Since leaving Xuzhou, Lü Bu has strictly forbidden the soldiers in the camp to light bonfires during meals, just for fear that Cao's army will find out about their whereabouts.

In the night, Lu Bu sat on a stone on the hill, holding a piece of dried meat in his hand, and gnawed on the dried meat while looking at the campfires in the distance.

"Wenhou, Cao's army is only five or six miles away from our army!" was gnawing on dried meat and staring at Cao Jun who lit a bonfire, an officer in the camp rubbed beside Lu Bu and whispered to him: "We have been chasing after Cao Jun for several days, why don't we take advantage of the night today to kill a few Cao Jun alive!" ”

"Haven't had enough yet?" Turning his head to look at the officer who was trapped, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, and he said to him with a slight smile: "You go and ask the soldiers, if they haven't fought enough, General Ben will lead you to intercept and kill Cao Jun today!" ”

"No!" After Lu Bu's words, the trapping camp officer answered, turned around and ran to ask the other trapping camp soldiers if they were willing to fight.

After a while, the officer ran back to Lu Bu and whispered to Lu Bu: "I've had enough of Cao's anger in the past few days!" The soldiers and soldiers are willing to follow Wen Hou and go to attack and kill Cao's army! ”

Looking at the bonfire of Cao Jun at the foot of the hillside, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and after a long while, he said to the officer: "Okay! Since you and others are willing to go with a certain person to attack and kill Cao Jun, a certain will take you and others with you! ”

Lu Bu decided to attack and kill the Cao army, and at this time, only two or three miles away from the Cao army they could see, the black pressure Cao army was quietly dormant in the darkness.

Looking at the bonfires dancing like stars in the distance, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Guo Jia beside him: "Our army has been laying out for days, but Lu Bu has not made a surprise attack. When did Bong Hyo think they would attack our army at night? ”
