"Lord, this is horse meat, you can eat it with confidence." In Cao's camp tent, the guards brought a bowl of hot horse meat to Cao Cao and bowed.

"Hmm." Cao Cao held the bowl, looked at the pieces of meat, felt a little nauseous, and finally put down the bowl, looked at Xun You and said: "Then Lu Bu has won a few small victories now, and let him burn my granary, but it is reasonable not to fall, Gongda entered Picheng this time, what is the gain?" ”

"The people's livelihood is withering, the people are hungry and cold, but the morale of the defenders in the city is quite high, with the current situation of our army, it is not easy to attack." Xun Yu bowed.

"Yesterday, Zhongkang sent someone to send news, Han Yugong has raised a lot of grain and grass, and now the first batch has begun to be delivered, and wait first, the tiger is now in high morale, and it is not wise to attack, but it is trapped in a lonely city, and there is no grain and grass to operate, so it can't support it for too long, and when this morale goes down, it's not too late to plan again." Cao Cao laughed.

Xun You nodded when he heard this, and now it seems that it can only be like this.

"If there is nothing important, you must retire first." Xun You glanced at the horse meat on Cao Cao's table, his face was also a little pale, and he bowed down silently to leave.

"Hmm." Cao Cao closed his eyes, nodded, and sighed, he didn't expect that the things that were originally in his hands would have so many twists and turns now, this is the second time that Lu Bu has forced himself to this point, this reckless man......

"Report~" A personal guard rushed in stride, bowed to Cao Cao, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord, the people we sent to collect grain met with Lu Bu's men and horses. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned: "What is the result?" ”

"They are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and they can't help it, because because of them, many Xuzhou people have escaped and lost a lot of soldiers." The guard bowed.

Cao Cao felt that his head hurt even more.

What kind of grain is to collect, the guards don't know, but Cao Cao is very clear, and now he is so disturbed by the other party, this rumor spreads out, and the hearts of the people in Xuzhou ......

Although Cao Jun is not very popular in Xuzhou, after this incident, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to completely occupy Xuzhou.

Lu Bu?

Cao Cao walked out of the handsome tent and looked at Xia Picheng's gaze a little melancholy, before that, he really didn't think that he would suffer a loss here in Lu Bu.

Withdraw your troops.

This thought arose in Cao Cao's mind, this was not the first time he had this idea, but this time, Cao Cao had a strong premonition that Xuzhou would not be able to defeat him.

If you can't destroy Lu Bu, it's useless to occupy more cities, as soon as you retreat, Lu Bu will soon be able to recapture it, but in today's situation, if you can't destroy Lu Bu, he will become a trouble in the future.

Cao Cao's side began to become indecisive, and on the other side, in Xiapi City, after Lu Bu received several waves of refugees into the city one after another, people began to take the initiative to help the soldiers repair their clothes and armor, and bring water and food.

"Wenhou, drink some water." A young girl timidly handed a large porcelain bowl with a notch to Lu Bu, which was the second one Lu Bu encountered on patrol today.

"Thank you." Lu Bu couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, in his many years of fighting career, this was the first time he felt the feeling of being supported by the people, although this kind of support was due to the fear and hatred of Cao Jun, but that feeling was really good.

Drinking the water in the bowl in one gulp, Lu Bu tried his best to make his expression as gentle as possible, handed the bowl to the girl and said, "Where are you from?" ”

"The people's girl ......" The little girl was a little frightened by Lu Bu's eyes, and said timidly: "It's a person from Huzhuang thirty miles outside the city." ”

In fact, generally in the siege of the city, the defending generals do not welcome outsiders, which will speed up the consumption of grain and grass in the city, but the siege party is more willing to drive a large number of people into the city, there are so many survival resources, and there are many people in the city, and they will definitely clash with the defenders in the city because of the survival materials.

What's more, the situation in Xiapi City is not much better than Cao Cao's, and he killed dozens of captured war horses as military rations before, but it can't last too long, Cao Cao let these people in, obviously with no good intentions.

Lu Bu is not a person who is good at words, and after chatting dryly, he said goodbye to the little girl, returned to the general's mansion, thought about it, and ordered someone to summon Zhang Liao back.

The goal has been achieved, and if he continues to fight, he is afraid that his cavalry will suffer, it is all a treasure, one less to die, it is not easy to train an elite cavalry, not to mention this kind of veteran who has experienced a hundred battles, if he dies, Lu Bu will feel distressed.

Besides, if more people are brought back, Picheng really can't afford to raise it now.

Cao Jun has no movement, Lu Bu has no intention of sending troops for the time being, these days are busy day and night, in order to revive morale, Lu Bu has not slept for a long time, at this moment temporarily idle, a wave of sleepiness suddenly came up, Lu Bu planned to take a nap, who knew that in a daze, he fell asleep, he was too tired.

"Sigh Rule~"

I don't know how long, Lu Bu who was sleeping was suddenly awakened by the neighing of a war horse, and his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he saw two figures quietly approaching him.

Song Xian...... Wei continued?

Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and when the two of them saw Lu Bu open his eyes, they were obviously taken aback, and under the weakness of their hearts, they even knelt down with a poof.

"You ...... Or do you want to hurt me? Lu Bu looked at the two of them with complicated eyes and sighed.

Song Xian and Wei Xu, who were kneeling on the ground, were shocked, why did they say it? In other words, Lu Bu had already sensed their movements?

"The lord spares his life, it's all Hou Cheng!" Song Xian hurriedly said: "We were also bewitched by Hou Cheng. ”

"If you bewitch a few words, will you kill the master?" Lu Bu stood up from the bed, his body as high as one zhang high, and when he stood up like this, he felt quite oppressive.

"You and others are all brothers who have been with me for many years, if Xiapi City is poor, you will have nothing to say if you want to harm me." Lu Bu's gaze gradually became fierce: "But now, I have defeated Cao Cao in a row, and the soldiers and civilians in Xiapi City are united, but you still want to harm me, this is not a demagogic explanation." ”

"Bang~"

Without warning, Lu Bu lifted his foot and kicked Song Xian's chest fiercely.

Click~

Being able to hear the sound of bones shattering, Song Xian's entire eyes were about to burst out, his chest was visibly sunken, and his body was kicked out with this kick, slamming into the wall of the room, and pieces of blood mixed with internal organs kept pouring out of his mouth.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the guards in the general's mansion, and someone soon rushed in.

"Lord, this ......" Lu Bu's guards were a little dumbfounded when they looked at this scene.

"Why let them in so easily?" Lu Bu looked at several guards and frowned.

"This ...... The two generals said...... "Several guards were startled, looked at Song Xian, and then looked at Wei Xu, who was kneeling on the ground like chaff, and the sword on the ground, understood something, his face became ugly, and the commander of the guards bowed down and said: "Dereliction of duty." ”

"Take ten sticks for yourself." Lu Bu said indifferently, he suddenly found that he had been too open to these subordinates before, and his mansion could be like no one, and the guards didn't ask much, this question was not actually in the guards, but he was too indulgent to these people on weekdays.

So much so that Hou Cheng wanted to kill himself after being beaten with some boards, and these people even agreed.

"Whoa!" The commander of the guards bowed silently.

"Lord, the last general should die, the last general will be confused, please forgive the lord!" Wei Xu was a little panicked, although he had noticed some changes in Lu Bu recently, but since Lu Bu was reborn, he had deliberately distanced himself from these three two or five boys, and their feelings were far less clear than Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others who often discussed with Lu Bu, but now he noticed it.

"You and Mrs. have cousins, since the annexation of the state, I have taken care of you quite a lot, Hou Cheng and Song Xian betrayed me, there are still reasons, but you ......" Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"The lord spares his life, spares his life, the last general is just temporarily bewitched by these two people and loses his mind, please spare my life for the sake of my sister!" Wei Xu knelt in front of Lu Bu with tears in his eyes and said in a mournful voice.

"Do you know Madame?" Lu Bu took off the tasseled helmet on Wei Xu's head, patted his head, shook his head, and said, "Do you know what will happen to my wife if I am harmed by you today?" ”

"Lord, spare your life~" Wei Xu could feel that Lu Bu's slap on his head was getting heavier and heavier, and he was even more frightened in his heart, and shouted heartbreakingly.

"Smack~" Lu Bu's last slap fell, but it used all his strength, Wei Xu's voice stopped abruptly, his neck was gone, his head was weirdly hanging on his shoulder, there was still a look of horror in his eyes, but his pupils had begun to dilate.

"Drag it off!" Lu Bu shook his hand, closed his eyes and said.

"Whoa!" The guards stepped forward and dragged away the bodies of the two, but the commander of the guards stayed behind and said to Lu Bu: "Lord, that Hou Cheng stole the red rabbit." ”

"Don't worry." Lu Bu said indifferently: "My horse, he can't ride it!" ”
