Chapter 44: Ghost Scheme
Time was slowly passing, and Lu Bu, who had returned to the city wall, seemed to have done something insignificant, standing on the city wall, his waist as straight as a spear, and just silently waiting for the passage of time.
The originally noisy city fell into an eerie silence at the moment.
The five thousand Guangling army originally came to crusade against Lu Bu, but Chen Deng, as the lord of the three armies, had not yet arrived in Quyang, and was captured by Lu Bu outside Quyang City, and the five thousand troops came to savior under the leadership of Zhang Meng, but the face of the city wall has not yet touched, as the main general Zhang Meng and the deputy general were killed by Lu Bu in front of the soldiers of the three armies, and now the head has been hung on the city wall by Lu Bu.
The 5,000 Guangling Army, which had lost its main general, felt at a loss at the moment and could not advance or retreat.
The main generals are gone, and you're still spanking a fart?
But to retreat, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to cruise on the side since Lu Bu left, and there were already soldiers who wanted to flee before being strangled by Zhang Liao's cavalry, and it didn't seem so easy to retreat, Lu Bu didn't send troops to attack these soldiers, he just asked these people not to move.
"My lord, the hour has come." As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Yue came to Lu Bu and bowed to Lu Bu.
"The time of death has come, but there are still last words?" Lu Bu nodded silently, looking at the Chen family's father and son, it was hard to say what it was like.
At the beginning, after being deceived by the Chen family's father and son, Lu Bu really wanted to burn the jade with them, but now, when the Chen family was beheaded and the Chen family's father and son were about to be killed by themselves, Lu Bu's mood was very calm.
It has been more than two months since he was reborn, maybe he was reborn once, which really changed his mood a lot, killed Chen Deng's father and son, and his personal enmity was over, but he didn't have that kind of pleasure of revenge, what kind of mood it was, Lu Bu couldn't say, he suddenly just wanted to get over the matter as soon as possible and go back to spend time with his wife and children.
is very unambitious, but it is what Lu Bu wants to do most urgently at the moment.
"Under the Nine Shadows, the old man watched how you were defeated!" Chen Qi snorted coldly and looked at Lu Budao.
"I hope you can see it!" Lu Bu glanced at Chen Qi and said indifferently.
LΓΌ Bu followed Cao Cao's method of killing himself, hanged the two of them on the city tower, and hanged their lord to death in front of the five thousand Guangling army.
The city gate that was not closed opened again, and Lu Bu rode his horse to the front of the two armies, pointed at the halberd of Fang Tian in his hand, looked at these anxious Guangling troops, and said loudly: "The commander is dead, if you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait?" β
If it was at the beginning, even if Lu Bu killed the main general and the Chen family and his son when the Guangling army arrived, these Guangling troops would be dispersed at most, and they would not be surrendered by Lu Bu in a word.
But Lu Bu did not surrender directly, first killed his main general, frustrated his spirit, and then led the cavalry to roam around with Zhang Liao, killing the fleeing army, for more than an hour, so that these Guangling troops could not advance and retreat at the same time, but also to defeat their fighting spirit, plus Chen Deng, Zhang Meng, these commanders are dead, the Guangling army not only has no fighting spirit, but also does not know what it has heard.
"Lay down your arms, and those who descend will not die!" Zhang Liao and his cavalry kept running around the Guangling army and shouting, further disintegrating their fighting spirit.
After a moment of hesitation, someone began to lay down their arms and choose to surrender.
Lu Bu glanced at Wei Yue beside him, Wei Yue understood, and took the men and horses out of the city to receive the surrendered army, collect the weapons of the surrenderers, and lead them to the city, and Hao Zhao led people to temporarily reorganize these prisoners.
Naturally, there are also people who choose to die rather than surrender, Chen Deng has been running Guangling for several years, and the soldiers and horses brought this time basically belong to his cronies, but after all, they are a minority, there is no leader, these rebellions are just occasional splashes on the lake, most people will lose their backbone, more will be blind obedience, as more and more people choose to surrender and defect, more people will also choose to surrender under the effect of herd psychology.
"My lord, a total of 3,627 troops have been collected." In the evening, Hao Zhao came to Lu Bu's side and bowed down.
"Wenyuan." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and said with a smile: "These surrendered troops are in charge of you, Chen Deng is dead, Guangling County has no owner, this group of people is handed over to you to command, and then give you five hundred elites, after pacifying Guangling as soon as possible, you will serve as the Taishou of Guangling." β
"Whoa!" When Zhang Liao heard this, he bowed solemnly.
Guangling has no owner, although there are still many troops, but without Chen Deng, Guangling is a plate of scattered sand, with Zhang Liao's ability, it is not difficult to pacify Guangling.
"As soon as possible, the news of Chen Deng's death should be received soon by the Jiangdong side, the most important thing for your trip is to guard against the invasion of Jiangdong." Lu Bu had a rare smile on his face, and said to Zhang Liao: "Remember to be careful, if you can't do anything, you can come back, Guangling can be beaten again if you lose it, I don't want to lose my brother again." β
When Zhang Liao heard this, a warm current rose in his chest, and he saluted Lu Bu solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, if you dare to covet Xuzhou, you will let them know that I am a great iron rider in Hezhou!" β
"Go ahead!" Lu Bu punched him in the chest and said: "If that Sun Lang doesn't know what to do, wait for me to straighten out Xuzhou and go there in person." β
"Whoa!" After Zhang Liao bowed down and received the general's order, he retired and left, preparing to go to rectify the surrender army and select sharp soldiers to go to Guangling to take up his post.
After Lu Bu sent Hao Zhao and the others away, he knelt behind the table, looked at the empty room, and his eyes returned to coldness: "Old horseman, if you dare to show your teeth and claws in front of me again, I will let your soul fly away!" β
Chen Qi, who was dancing in front of him, and Chen Deng, who was watching from the sidelines, were stunned when they heard this.
"Wen Hou can see my father and son?" Chen Deng hurriedly pulled Chen Qi and squinted at Lu Bu.
"It seems that Yuanlong has a lot of resentment in his heart." Lu Bu didn't say much, waved his hand, and the ghosts of Hou Cheng and Wei Xu appeared behind the two, looking at the two of them with unkind eyes.
Chen Deng suddenly suddenly realized at this moment: "Deng somewhat understands why Wen Hou can grasp Deng's location so clearly." β
"But I have the power to control ghosts." Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng, the muscles on his face moved, but he didn't laugh after all: "It stands to reason that death will be dissolved, but since the two of you were born with me out of resentment, the matter between you and me is not over." β
"Deng has died once, Wen Hou thinks, I will be afraid?" Chen Deng asked instead of answering.
"This death is really death." Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng: "Do you remember the dream I told you?" I have also been a ghost, Xia Pi City, upstairs in the White Gate, the Lu family was killed, and after 20 years of cloth turning into a ghost to entangle Liu Bei, he was reborn here, so that you and I have today's situation. β
"......" When Chen Deng heard this, he lost his voice, just looked at Lu Bu and did not speak.
"Even under the Nine Shadows, I still control the life and death of the two of you!" Lu Bu clenched his fist violently, and Chen Qi on the side suddenly knelt in front of Lu Bu as if he had encountered great pain.
"Wen Hou's meaning, Deng has understood." Chen Deng sighed, looked at Lu Bu and said, "If I agree, what can Wen Hou give me?" β
"Clever!" Lu Bu smiled and said: "I will set up a yin house for your Chen family, enjoy the worship of all the people, and at the same time your Chen family and I have grievances, with the destruction of the Chen family, forget it, you contribute to me, if the Chen family has descendants in the yang world, they can be shaded by me, Lu Bu will not die for a day, and the Chen family will not end." β
For a long time, Lu Bu has lacked a strategist with sufficient weight, Chen Gong has a strategy, but he can't really be used by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu himself, he can be invincible in the decisive battle, but if it is said that he is strategic, it is not Lu Bu's strength, and now Chen Deng's ghost has appeared, but Lu Bu has this idea, since the strategists in the yang world are not easy to recruit, why don't you recruit a few strategist ghosts to work for yourself?
"I have a son, named Su, because of his birth, he was fostered by me and Haixi, and has nothing to do with my Chen family, if Wen Hou is willing to adopt this son for me, pass on my Chen incense, and make a vow to drive Wen Hou." Chen Deng said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll order someone to go to Haixi to look for someone." When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded and said: "If he has talent in the future, he can join my command, and if he is mediocre, he can ensure his wealth and continue the Chen family's incense." β
"Thank you, Lord." Chen Deng sighed and bowed to Lu Bu.
With this call, an indescribable connection was born between the two, and at the same time, in Lu Bu's attribute column of unknown use so far, the symbols after luck have changed, from the original 107576, to 57576, but unfortunately, Lu Bu does not know its purpose, after getting Chen Deng's allegiance, he is also slightly relieved, and there is finally a person by his side who can give advice to himself.
