Bu Xiaozi announced in the autumn of the fifth year, sighed in the year, and the news came from Chang'an, Fuyuan angrily hooked the countries of the Western Regions in Siping, and re-established the Western Regions Protectorate in its Qiancheng, and all the countries in the Western Regions were governed by the Western Regions Protectorate, and the first Western Regions Protector of the rebuilt Western Regions Protectorate was Hao Zhao, the commander of the Blood Blade Battalion under Zhang Xiu.

In fact, the reconstruction of the Western Regions Protectorate was expected by all the princes, and there were only a few cities in the Western Regions, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.

This is to be expected. Naturally, there are also surprises. Along with the news of the re-establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, there was also news of the Three Kingdoms of Ma Weixi, Kushan, and Wusun.

However, he said that after Zhang Xiu captured Dunhuang last year, he had sent envoys to the three kingdoms of Anxi, Guishan, and Wusun, which naturally meant that he hoped to restore the trade routes. Sabbath and Kushan originally prospered on this trade route. Since the end of the trade route, their national power has been declining day by day, and there have been rebellions in the country. Zhang Xiu's envoy also discussed with the two countries the tax revenue of the Han people and the Hu people of the Western Regions through the two countries, and because Zhang Xiu took the initiative, the Han people and the Hu people of the Western Regions came here to do business. Taxes are quite favorable.

In order to keep the country immortal, the kings of Anxi and Kushan agreed, and now those who can save their country from destruction only need to restore the trade routes, so even if Zhang Xiu's conditions are harsh, they have to accept it.

However, the Wusun Kingdom did not agree with this condition, and the Wusun Kingdom was different from the two countries of Anxi and Kushan. The location of the Wusun Kingdom is on the north side, and it is not the only way to go in the western region. In the summer, it was okay, because the Wusun Kingdom was near the Tianshan Mountains and the temperature was low, the merchants were willing to take a detour to the Wusun Kingdom in order to avoid the heat, but in the spring and autumn seasons and some people who also did business in the cold winter would not.

Wusun and Kunmi were originally prepared not to agree, and followed the example of the Xiongnu's envoy who imprisoned Zhang Xiu. But there aren't many. In the month, the news of Ma's army rampaging in the Western Regions reached Wusun, and Wusun remembered that Zhang Xiu's envoy had said that if there was no news of the envoy for three months, Zhang Xiu would send a large army to attack Wusun. So the big and small sleepy people rarely met. In the end, it was decided to agree to Zhang Xiu's conditions. and apologized to Zhang Xiu's envoy, so as to resolve the crisis that Ma Da's army might attack Wusun.

The Western Regions Protectorate was re-established, and agreements were made with the three kingdoms of Anxi, Guishan, and Wusun, and the trade routes were reopened. Silk, porcelain, and tea, which are rare items in the Central Plains, were all transported to the Western Regions and the Great Qin Kingdom through this trade route, and the gems and gold from the Western Regions were transported back to Changchang through this trade route, and this trade route was called the Land Silk Road in history! At the same time as the trade route was opened, the expansion of Chang'an City was basically completed, the boundary between the city and the city was broken, and four artificial rivers connected to Weishui, straight out of the Yellow River to Luoyang, making Chang'an's commerce develop rapidly, because merchants from all over the world gathered in Chang'an. Therefore, Chang'an's entertainment industry has also been expanded, not only the traditional Central Plains entertainment, but also the entertainment methods of the Western Regions and the more western countries such as Anxi, Guishan and other countries have also been transmitted to Chang'an.

The trade routes were opened, and the Kansai and Chang'an gradually prospered, while the clouds of war on the Kanto side were dense.

In the winter of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan led Lu Qian, Li Dian and 50,000 troops as the vanguard to attack Xuzhou, and Cao Cao led 100,000 troops behind.

Lu Bu heard that Cao Cao was coming, and he was afraid that Liu Bei would attack him inside and outside, so he attacked Xiao Pei first. Liu Bei was defeated. Only Guan Zhang and the others escaped to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao skillfully recaptured Xiaopei from Guo Jia's plan, Lu Bu's cavalry after a series of battles, there was not much left, and he knew that he could not compete with Cao Cao's army, so he led the army back to Xiapi to defend to the death, and at the same time sent a letter to Huainan Yuan Shu for help.

Yuan Shu teamed up with Lu Bu to attack Liu Bei last year, but he didn't get the slightest benefit, and finally learned that he was used by Lu Bu, so this time he refused to support, and Lu Bu, who got Yuan Shu's reply, was panicked and helpless for a while. Xiapi City is also gloomy.

In the hall of Xuzhou Thorn Mansion.

Lu Bu tore the letter to pieces with a hideous face, and then threw it on the ground and trampled on it fiercely and scolded: "Yuan Shu is hateful, he even refuses to fight!" ”

Everyone in the hall heard this, Qi Qi's face changed, Hou Cheng heard it, and plucked up the courage to say, "Lord." No, if not, if you descend Cao

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Bu rush forward a few steps, grabbed Hou Cheng's throat, and shouted angrily: "What did you say? Say it again! ”

Hou Cheng's throat was grabbed by Lu Bu, he had difficulty breathing, his face was red, and he couldn't speak even more, and his hands wanted to pull Lu Bu's hand away. However, Lu Bu's hand strength was more than ten times stronger than his. No matter how hard Hou Cheng's hands were, he couldn't pull them away.

Next to him, Wei Xu and Song Xian made a good deal with Hou. Seeing that Hou Chengcheng was about to be pinched to death by Lu Bu, he immediately stepped forward to persuade him. Lu Bu snorted angrily, and with two waves of his other hand, Wei Xu and Song Xian fell to the ground.

Lu Bu raised Hou Cheng high with one hand, and Chen Gong's eyes began to turn a little white when he saw him, and he hurriedly persuaded: "General Hou has made a lot of contributions to Wen Hou, please spare Wen Hou's life." ”

Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's persuasion, so he snorted coldly, threw Hou Cheng on the ground, and then stepped forward a few steps to pick up the Fang Tian painting halberd held by the guard, and slashed it on the table, cutting the table into two sections.

turned around and glanced at Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian on the ground, and said, "Those who say that they will surrender again, there is such a case." After speaking, he didn't look at a few people and turned into the back hall.

Chen Gong glanced at Hou Cheng and the others, and said, "You guys go back first, and wait for the palace to persuade Wen Hou here." Hou Cheng and the three of them looked at Chen Gong with grateful eyes, and Cheng Lian and Hao Meng next to them immediately stepped forward to help the three of them and retreated.

Only four people remained in the hall: Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Guan Hai and Chen Gong.

Among the four, Cao Xing is Lu Bu's brother-in-law, and Lu Bu's beloved wife Diao Xiu'er has a life-saving grace for Guan Hai, and Gao Shun is loyal, so it can be said that he is a loyal person to Lu Bu here.

Cao Xing was anxious, so he asked Chen Gongdao: "Does the military advisor have a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said, "Cao Apu's army is surrounded by soldiers, and the lord only has tens of thousands of troops, so how can he break the enemy." ”

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, can we only be trapped in Xiapi and sit and wait to die?" ”

Chen Gong sighed and said, "Now there is only one plan. ”

Gao Shun hurriedly asked, "Strategist, please speak." ”

Chen Gong said word by word: "Abandon ...... City! ”

Guan Hai used to be the yellow scarf collar of Qingzhou, although his appearance was rough and arrogant, he was not a stupid person. Hearing what Chen Gong said, he asked: "Military Division, if you abandon the city, let's not talk about whether you can break through the encirclement of Cao thieves, even if you break through, where can I go?" ”

Chen Gong looked at the west and said, "Guanzhong Zhang Xiu." ”

Gao Shun, Cao Xing and Guan Hai heard it, and at the same time exclaimed: "Take refuge in Zhang Xiu? ”

Gao Shun's mind was spinning, and he quickly reacted, and nodded: "What the military advisor said is reasonable. Wen Hou and Zhang Xiuguan showed a difference. Gabu Wenyuan worked under Zhang Xiu, and he should not have asked Lian to take refuge in Zhang Xiu.

Cao Xuan frowned and said, "Although what Brother Gao said is reasonable, Zhang Xiu relied on the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo to lay the foundation, and Wen Hou was the murderer of Dong Zhuo. If we wait to vote, Zhang Xiu will be jealous of the generals under his command. I'm afraid I may not be willing to accept it. ”

Chen Gong nodded and said, "Not bad." Gong is also worried about this. But now everyone knows that it is only a dead end to be trapped, and there is still a way to live if you take refuge in Zhang Xiu. Besides," Chen Gong's voice suddenly turned to look at the place where Hou Cheng and the others were sitting, and said, "Besides, Gong is worried that someone will have different intentions. ”

Gao Shun heard this, snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, Cao Xing slapped one hand on the table in front of him, and Guan Hai was even more irritable, rushing over and kicking over the table used by Hou Cheng and them. said angrily: "Whoever dares to have a different heart, I will never show mercy!" ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "Guan Hai, silence!" Come back! Guan Hai snorted angrily and said, "I'll go tell Wen Hou now!" ”

Gao Shun stepped forward and was about to pull Guan Hai back, when he saw a person turn out from behind, and said coldly: "Needless to say, Ben Wenhou knows!" "It's Lu Bu.

The four of Chen Gong hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the lord." ”

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, you have heard what you just said, and there is only one thing left to take refuge in Zhang Xiu for today's plan?" ”

Chen Gong nodded with difficulty and said, "Gong is useless, it can't help Wen Hou achieve hegemony." Instead, it ended up like a field. ”

Lu Bu chuckled: "If you don't do the business of the public platform, it is because Bu doesn't listen to the words of the public platform that you end up like a field." Zhang Xiu is a bright and upright person. As the public platform said, if you kill Dong Zhuo, the soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command may not be able to tolerate a certain person, but you can live, and it is better than dying at the hands of Cao thieves together. In the end, a lonely aura emerged from Lu Bu's body.

The four of them were greatly surprised when they heard this, and Lu Bu actually admitted his mistake, which greatly surprised them.

Gao Shun asked with concern, "Wen Hou, is your body in trouble?" ”

Lu Bu chuckled lightly and said, "Naturally, it's fine, what do you think is wrong with cloth?" ”

Gao Shun felt that now Lu Bu was a whole person, and Fang Cai was completely different, and Fang Cai's Lu Bu was as angry as a lion. Don't get close to the living, and now Lu Bu behaves calmly, if it weren't for Gao Shun and the others seeing Lu Bu's face unchanged. I thought that Lu Bu had changed someone.

Seeing that the four of them still maintained a surprised look on their faces, Lu Bu smiled and said: "You don't have to be suspicious, it's okay, it's just that you just got reminded by the good wife, and you just have some feelings." After saying that, he sighed deeply and looked at the sky outside the door.

After a long time, Lu Bu suddenly turned his head, his eyes became fierce, and his murderous aura surged, more than ten times stronger than before, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, and Guan Hai took a few steps back after the three martial artists sensed their anger. Among them, Gao Shun and Guan Hai, who were better at martial arts, retreated two and a half steps and two steps respectively, and Cao Xing's martial arts almost retreated three and a half steps. Chen Gong's face turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and asked, "Can the public platform be sure of the breakthrough?" ”

Chen Gong froze, nodded and said, "Yes, and Gong can find out all the people who have different intentions." ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay, everything will be handled by you on the public platform, and Gao Shun will assist you." Guan Xuan, Cao Xing, and you brought their families to Wenhou Mansion to protect them day and night, and the carriage was ready at any time. After a pause, he said to Chen Gong and Gao Shun: "Your family also brought Wenhou Mansion to protect Guan Zhen and Cao Xing. ”

When the four of them heard this, they replied, "No."

In the winter of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's army surrounded Pi for more than a month. Do not fall. Just as he was preparing to use a water meter to flood Picheng. received a letter from Hou Cheng, Lu Bu's subordinate in the city, saying that Lu Bu in the city was addicted to wine every day and did not think about fighting, and he was insulted by Lu Bu before. Therefore, he thought that he should be in the house and took refuge in Cao Cao. And has joined forces with Wei Xu, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, and Hao Meng, preparing to cooperate with Cao Cao to break the city.

Cao Cao asked his advisers to read the letter together, so he decided to use the water plan and attack the city with Hou Cheng and others three days later.

On the night of the third day after Cao Cao released water to flood Pi, Cao Cao's troops attacked the city, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian accompanied Lu Bu to drink in Wenhou's mansion, and Hao Meng and Cheng Lian answered at the city gate.

In Wen Hou's mansion, Hou Cheng raised the wine cup and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, something was wrong that day, Cao thief had no way, and he actually flooded the city, it was my Hou Cheng who was blind." A certain decision was made to help Wen Hou defend Xiapi, Lord Wen Hou has a large number, please don't blame Cheng again. ”

Lu Bu laughed when he heard this: "Okay! This is the athlete under Ben Wenhou! ”

Wei Xu and Song Xian glanced at each other, and also raised the wine cup together and said, "A certain one also did his best to help Wen Hou defend the city!" Retire Cao Bing! ”

Seeing this, Lu Bu laughed, raised the wine cup and drank it all, and said, "Okay! Drink! After drinking a few cups in a row, plus drinking a lot before, Lu Bu's face turned red. Obviously a little drunk, I saw him slap the desk. scolded: "Cao thief! What are you! If you stand in front of Ben Wenhou, Ben Wenhou only needs one move, "One move will make you different!" ”

Hou Cheng saw that Lu Bu was a little drunk, so he persuaded: "Wenhou is invincible in the world, why do you need to make a move against the little Cao thief, just to scare him away with his prestige!" ”

Lu Bu laughed when he heard this: "Yes! You can say that again! Come, drink together! ”

Hou Cheng and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes. Wei Xu nodded to Hou Cheng, and the three of them pulled out the blades they were hiding, and when they were about to make a move, they didn't expect Lu Bu to suddenly slap the desk.

"Burn,

The three of them had a ghost in their hearts, so they were naturally shocked into a cold sweat, and immediately turned their heads to look over, and saw that Lu Bu, who was originally drunk and dazed, became energetic. Hou Cheng suppressed the panic in his heart and called softly: "Wen Hou... Six

Lu Bu stared at Hou Cheng, and Hou Cheng saw amusement in Lu Bu's eyes. Hou Cheng was so shocked that he almost threw away his weapon, Lu Bu's invincible image had already penetrated deep into his heart, and now he was naturally shocked when he saw Lu Bu like a lion. However, after looking at it again, he saw that Lu Bu's eyes became confused again, and at the same time, he called loudly: "Xiu'er, Xiu'er" and then picked up the wine jar and poured the wine directly into his mouth.

Lu Bu called very loudly, but the three of them were afraid that Diao Xiu'er would hear it. Hou Chengyi gritted his teeth, raised the sharp knife in his hand, and said: "Lu Bu is unrighteous, and now the soldiers are still addicted to wine every day when they come to the city. Wenhou is no longer the Wenhou we know. We went up and tied him up, and then went and killed the woman. ”

Song Xian smiled when he heard this: "That woman is a stunning beauty in the world, wouldn't it be a pity to kill her." And let me wait for my brother to play, and then dedicate it to Cao Sikong, I want to win a high position. ”
