At two o'clock, the sun was getting west.

"Yu Xiaojun, Cao Ren led 8,000 Qingzhou soldiers to chase after him, menacing, I'm afraid there are other plans......" It was Cao Xing who came to report.

"Oh." Xiao Junhou scratched his buttocks, and when the wound began to scab over, it was easy to itch.

Cao Xuan stretched his neck and waited for the order, but only saw Lu Chen's "luxury" convertible squeaking and shaking in front of him.

Three quarters of the unitary hour, dusk.

"Yu Xiaojun, Cao Ren's Qingzhou soldiers scouts are all over the surrounding ten miles, overlapping with the reconnaissance range of our Huben army soldiers who are scouts, do you force them back?" Cao Ren stopped Lu Chen's broken carriage with red eyes.

"Oh." Lu Chen wiped a handful of saliva and slept on the rickety carriage, which was easy to throw out the saliva.

Cao Xing saw that Lu Chen asked Lu Zhan to help him get out of the carriage, and his eyes suddenly lit up, is it finally time to start a war? He rubbed his palms eagerly, but when he saw Lu Chen asking Zhang Liao about camping, Cao Xing was dumbfounded.

At the end of the day, the moon and stars are scarce.

"Xiao Junhou, haha, Cao Ren's idiot is here again, and he only brought more than ten horsemen to follow, and he wants to see you outside the camp. I'm going to get him in, idiot who doesn't have a long memory. Cao Xuan suddenly broke into the big tent, screamed wildly, and then ran out reflexively.

"Come back."

Lu Chen roared, and said in his heart, why doesn't this Uncle Cao Xing's brain turn? finally reached a compromise with Cao Cao, and now he is still in the hinterland of others, and his father is in the hands of others, can he toss blindly? Catch Cao Ren again? When he was arrested, he was forced to arrest him, in order to persecute Cao Cao, and now he is still forcing him? Forcing him to kill us?

What's more, this time it was Lu Chen who asked Zhang Liao to send a letter to invite Cao Ren to come, and Lu Chen wanted Cao Ren to help solve some important problems. After all, it would be a fool not to take advantage of it, and since Cao Ren was chasing after him, Lu Chen had to let him make some contributions.

Cao Xing dragged his head and walked back and said, "What's the matter?" Xiao Jun waited for orders. ”

"Come out with me to meet him."

"Don't you want to arrest him?"

"Don't catch it."

"It's a pity, the ...... sent to the door"

"Tsk, Uncle Zhimou, just listen to me, don't talk too much, I'm injured now, I can't be angry."

"Oh."

With the support of Lu Zhan and his sister Lu Qi, Lu Chen slowly walked out of the tent and got into the carriage.

It had long been expected that Cao Cao would send someone to "escort", which was nothing, and if there was an enemy marching in his own territory, he would not be at ease. What Lu Chen didn't expect was that it was Cao Ren who came, this guy was desperate enough, no wonder Cao Cao liked him so much.

Cao Xuan followed behind and asked Lu Qi in a low voice: "Miss, why didn't Xiao Junhou arrest Cao Ren again?" ”

Lu Qixu said matter-of-factly: "Uncle Zhimou, you should take a long-term view of the problem, arrest him back, and you will take care of the food?" One Guo Jia is enough to eat. ”

In other words, Guo Jia is indeed a foodie, no meat is not happy, and he can eat half a sheep at each meal.

Cao Xuan suddenly realized.

Lu Chen's feet were weak, he almost fell, and he lamented in his heart, no wonder Lu Bu was killed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei in history! I'm stupid enough, and I'm really anxious to look at the IQs of the people around me......

Camp gates.

It was pitch black, and there were torches all around, but it wasn't necessarily bright.

"Don't come unharmed, little gentleman."

Cao Ren got off the horse and walked a few steps closer to hugging his fist, but he was no longer close, probably with a psychological shadow. Cao Ren stood in the snow with his legs crossed, looking full of energy and extraordinary bearing, but in fact, little JJ was in a lot of pain, and his legs couldn't be brought together.

"Oh, General Zixiao, I am ashamed of what happened before, I hope you can understand, I am also forced to do so, who asked you to incite my servants to assassinate me?" Lu Chenyan involuntarily retorted nonsense first.

"As you said, I was forced to do so."

"Well said, well said. Regarding the rough treatment that General Zixiao received in our army, I would like to express my regret. Those were all done by the people below, and I didn't know about it. ”

"Don't mention the past." It's heartwarming to mention it.

Lu Chen smiled and began to get down to business: "Now, the north wind is cold, the weather is cold, and our army actually eats dregs of bran and coarse rice. After all, this is on the territory of Lord Sikong, and if this is to be spread, I am afraid that it will damage Lord Sikong's reputation. In line with the idea of resolutely defending the honor of Lord Sikong, Chen decided that starting tomorrow, the whole army should eat fifty sheep and one cow every day. Let the world know the name of Sikong's generosity. ”

Cao Ren almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and called me in the middle of the night for this? Is it still involved in the reputation of the lord? Every food you eat has something to do with the lord! Logical scarcity!

Lu Chenpi didn't smile, and said, "Looking at General Zixiao's face, it seems that there is some difficulty, wow?" ”

"This ......" Cao Ren had the intention to paralyze Lu Chen first, and then destroy him with one blow, so he didn't intend to offend Lu Chen, so he muttered, "Now that the mountains and rivers are withering, the people are struggling to make a living, and the lord's army is also short of grain and grass, where is there any surplus grain and grass?" Not to mention the daily supply of cattle and sheep. ”

The subtext is that when I gave you sheep, it was to give you face, and you don't have to make an inch.

Lu Chen shook his head: "In other places, the natural people are not living well, under the rule of Lord Sikong, how can they be so miserable?" Categorically not, this is not a bald man...... Oh, slap Sikong-sama in the face? How do you do subordinates? ”

"Forehead ......"

"Don't worry, I know you don't have much food and grass with you, and I don't plan to embarrass you."

"Whew......" Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Chen said, "Didn't Lord Sikong give an order to let the counties along the way provide food and grass for our army?" I don't care if they want to go, and when the time comes, please ask General Zixiao to let someone help carry it. I invite you to eat a leg of lamb. ”

Cao Renxin said that please ask the county to provide cattle and sheep? They can't get the grain and grass when the lord asks for it, can you get it?

Thinking of this, Cao Ren was much more relaxed, as long as he didn't let him think of a way, he said: "This is the lord's order, you can go and ask for it, and Ren will definitely supervise it on his behalf." ”

"Then it's settled!" Lu Chen smiled, and then complained again, "Hey, it's all for your military advisor Guo Jia, that guy is too good to eat, eat three sheep in one meal!" I don't have meat to eat and cry and make trouble, I also look at the face of Lord Sikong, and I have to find meat for him to eat, don't be too grateful to me. ”

Cao Ren was almost choked to death, staring aggrievedly and not speaking, slightly cute.

"There is one more thing, the number of our army is too small, and many baggage transportation is troublesome, tomorrow I will ask General Gao Shun to leave the baggage, and ask General Zixiao's Qingzhou soldiers to escort it on my behalf. Much appreciated. Lu Chen said again.

Cao Ren gritted his teeth: "Your baggage, why should we help you carry it?" We are the enemy, not your baggage! ”

"General Zixiao is lying nonsense," Lu Chen deliberately pretended to be strange and said, "Lord Sikong is a great Han courtier, and my father is also a great Han courtier, everyone is a friendly army!" My Tiger Ben Army is the Han Imperial Forest Army! I think it was founded by General Wei Qing back then! Where does the enemy come from? When did Lord Sikong betray the Han? When will the king be self-reliant? Such a big thing...... I have to give a gift! ”

"You, you, you ......" Cao Ren pointed his finger at Lu Chen and trembled.

"Broken by the old age!"

Lu Chen waved his hand, Lu Zhan and Lu Qi led the horse to take Lu Chen back to the camp, and Cao Xing led several horses to follow.

It wasn't until Lu Chen entered the camp that Cao Ren exhaled deeply: "Lu Chen'er, you deceive people too much!" ”

The attendant asked, "General, do you really want to help them transport their baggage?" ”

Cao Ren straddled the war horse angrily and said, "I think ...... Hiss-" He sat on the saddle and bounced up in pain, Cao Ren stood tremblingly in the stirrups (standing and riding for a long time, it was enough to choke), his face was distorted: "Think beautiful!" We don't care. ”

With that, Cao Ren rode his war horse back to his camp.

Back in the camp, Lu Chen lay on the couch and instructed Cao Xing: "Let the soldiers work extra night at night, take out all the things in the baggage box, pick up arrows and medicinal materials and other most important things, and send them to the family team to transport them." Pack the rest and leave it for Cao Ren to stay, and let them help deliver it tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Cao Xuan nodded and asked again, "What about the extra empty boxes?" ”

Lu Chen pursed his lips: "The empty boxes are all filled with stones and dirt, and then they are locked, and they are also left to Cao Ren's soldiers and horses, so that they can escort the double baggage." ”

Lu Qi beside him laughed angrily, Lu Chen blushed, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

"This ...... All right. Cao Xuan snorted, his old face was rarely a little shy, and then he turned around and left.

"Little brother, why are you embarrassed by that Cao Ren?" Lu Qi smiled enough before asking.

"It's just self-preservation, where is it deliberately embarrassing him." Lu Chen snorted twice, "Eight thousand Qingzhou soldiers, although they are all infantry, there are also a lot of horses!" And it's elite again. Although our side except for Uncle Xiaogong's 'newly trapped camp', the other two divisions are cavalry, but the family team is too large. Only by exhausting their horses and clashing in the future will we have a chance to escape, otherwise we will surely be entangled by their cavalry. ”

Lu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Little brother is saying that there may be a war?" ”

Glancing at his violent sister, Lu Chen said: "Cao Ren is about to be made into a father-in-law by me, can you not hate me?" Even if Cao Cao doesn't want to touch me, he doesn't recuperate, and he comes with him, will he have no bad intentions? I have to guard against it! So, give them some baggage and stones, waste their horses, and consume their soldiers' bodies, and try to make them less combative, there's only so much I can do. At most, let Mr. Gongtai contact the Yanzhou family to bid me farewell, and it would be better to send more boxes of stones or something when the time comes. ”

"Wow, my little brother is really like a god!"

"Bullshit, it's just some disgusting means of bullshit, who wouldn't be a bastard who sets up a stall? If I had been able to anticipate things, I wouldn't have more holes in my ass. ”

"What is a stall?"

"Forehead ......"

Early the next morning, something strange happened.

First of all, the baggage of Lu Chen's troops was twice as heavy, and it was extremely heavy, so they stayed at the place where they camped last night, and Lu Chen's team had already staggered towards Duyang County in the northwest. Then, Cao Ren walked around the baggage place, ignored it, and followed Lu Chen with the Qingzhou soldiers, leaving a small team of people to watch the baggage and not help transport it.

Lu Chen thought to himself: Lao Tzu was thrown in front of you, are you embarrassed or unlucky?

Cao Ren said: I'll find someone to help you watch it, and when you don't have anything to eat, you will come back and transport it yourself.

The result of this is that except for dozens of Qingzhou soldiers guarding the place, no one on either side touched those baggage, and it was another tug-of-war, but this kind of tug-of-war looked strange.

In this era, it is usually two meals, only the aristocracy and rich families will eat three meals a day, and the soldiers naturally have two meals a day, not at noon, Lu Chen and other generals, and even the family members. Before setting off in the morning, after Lu Chen's three armies had eaten, they left their baggage behind and moved forward lightly, and there was no surplus food in the convoy.

In the afternoon, Zhang Liao came to ask Lu Chen: "Xiao Junhou, our army has no food, how to cook at night?" ”

Without a direct answer, Lu Chen asked rhetorically: "How far is it from Duyang County?" ”

"Less than forty miles, more than an hour."

"Tsk, let Cao Xing take a group of elite knights, just a hundred people, follow me to Duyang County to move meat first!"

"Huh?"

"Ahhhh The official road we walked, there are countless villages and fertile fields along the way, and there are even large and small towns, so why worry about no food? Go and tell Cao Xing to go! ”

A broken carriage and more than 100 tiger and wolf cavalry marched into Duyang County with high spirits.

"Well, where are the people in the city? Hurry up! If you want to be murderous, don't blame me for killing you with a snap of your fingers! ”

On the tower of the south gate of Duyang County, the county Cheng Zhangshu led hundreds of patrols to put on a posture of defending the city, and when he saw Lu Chen and the others, he shouted loudly. The patrolmen also aimed their bows at the cavalry under the city, but they only opened their bows, but did not take arrows, and they were attached to the bowstrings with wooden poles. Cao Cao fought Lu Bu, and the arsenals of all counties and counties were emptied, where did the arrows come from in the small county town? There weren't even a few knives and guns, and the leaders had iron weapons in their hands, but they were still family heirlooms.

When Lu Chen saw those "bows and arrows", he laughed loudly.

Cao Xing handed over the road guide and grain voucher given by Cao Cao, but the county Chengzhangshu upstairs did not open the door, only let Lu Chen and his entourage enter the city, and said that the county magistrate went to the countryside to inspect, and the grain could only be decided when the county magistrate returned.

Lu Chen sent back the cavalry, only took a dozen horsemen, and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Lao Tzu is here to shop, open the door quickly." ”

And so the gates of the city were opened.

Then, Lu Chen's carriage retreated, Cao Xuan led the ten horsemen to rush in, and the patrol soldiers with wooden guns and arrows were simply invincible, and the follow-up hundred horsemen followed closely and swarmed in.

After a few breaths, the cavalry rushed up to the city tower from the slope of the inner city, and the county man disarmed and surrendered, and came down to greet Lu Chen, and the old thing smiled shyly.

"Chen Gong really knows all kinds of information about Cao Jun! It's a living encyclopedia! When Lu Chen entered the city, he smiled very cheaply, and said in his heart, "If I hadn't asked him about the situation of the counties along the way, how would I, Lu Chen, dare to take the risk?" I didn't expect that in these years, even Cao Bald was so poor, and the county was so short of military equipment. But that's right, before Cao Cao didn't win the battle of Guandu, he was really poor, and he couldn't get together ten horse armors, and in terms of equipment, he was poorer than Lu Bu. ”

In this raid, there was no killing, but more than a dozen patrols were trampled off by war horses. Strictly speaking, it was also Lu Chen who was not authentic, obviously reached a reconciliation with Cao Cao, but attacked his city, so that Cao Cao knew that he would not be angry and raise troops.

Fortunately, Lu Chen had already planned, he pulled the county Cheng Zhangshu, who was arrogant and arrogant just now, but now he was shy and twisted, to sit on his broken carriage, and said earnestly: "The county Cheng is a military attaché!" Zhang Xiancheng led hundreds of patrols, but I took the city by a hundred light horsemen, and it reached the ears of Cao Bald, you are going to lose your head. ”

Zhang Shu glanced at Lu Chen with disgust, and squeezed out a trace of surprise in his acting skills, and said, "What did Xiao Wenhou say?" Where is the siege? Why don't you know? Obviously, Xiao Wenhou sympathized with our hard work in defending the city, and came to visit. Seeing Xiao Wenhou's extraordinary bearing in the city tower, he was shocked by the heavens, and couldn't help but open the city gate to welcome Xiao Wenhou into the city, and wanted to entertain Xiao Wenhou on behalf of Cao Sikong. I heard that Lord Sikong's military advisors are all guests in the camp of Xiao Wenhou, it can be seen that Xiao Wenhou has a deep friendship with Lord Sikong, and they are really friendly troops, why do you say that you are fighting against me? ”

Lu Qi originally thought that this matter would not end well, and she was worried, but when she saw Zhang Shu's reaction like this, she couldn't help but feel that her jaw was about to fall to the ground.

Lu Zhan, who was driving the carriage, even fell under the carriage, and finally climbed up again, looking at Zhang Shu with a slightly strange look.

Seeing that Zhang Shu was so good, Lu Chen's original dozens of coercion and temptation methods could not be used, Lu Chen arched his hand towards Zhang Shu in admiration, and said, "In this way, thank you to Lord County." ”

Zhang Shu was very generous: "Why should Xiao Wenhou say thank you? Lord Sikong had already ordered the counties along the way to provide grain for Xiao Wenhou's department, and Shu'an could disobey? If you want cattle and sheep, just open your mouth, and ask someone to get it outside the city and send it to Xiao Wenhou's camp. ”

"How embarrassing is that?"

"Hey! Xiao Wenhou smiled generously, Duyang County is still very rich. ”

"Chen is not that kind of person."

Lu Chen sternly showed Zhang Shu that he was a person with identity and style, and then sent Cao Xing to the granary to transport grain, and by the way, Zhang Shu also asked Zhang Shu to send more cattle and sheep to the army.

Both of them were shameless, and Lu Qi and Lu Zhan were shocked and slanted.

After a while, more tiger horses arrived, with more than 500 horses, and these thin and cowardly patrols in the city could naturally be ignored.

Lu Chen put the county Cheng home, but Lu Chen took Lu Qi, Cao Xing and others to his house with him.

What about the hospitality? Shouldn't it be honored? In order not to let Zhang Shu be a person who is untrustworthy, Lu Chenmian went to his house to eat. The county Cheng said that if he was shocked, why don't you go to the restaurant and rub it? Lu Chen couldn't bear to break the cost, insisted on going to his house, and said, I won't rob your things. Zhang Shu's face was bitter, knowing that his family could not escape a catastrophe, but he could only take Lu Chen home.

At the beginning, the guy who injured Lu Chen with the flying knife was probably not strong enough, and he didn't know how to fight magic or anything. Therefore, Lu Chen's butt injury is not too serious, but the position is awkward, and now, he can barely walk, but it is very slow, his posture is very awkward, and he can't exercise vigorously.

The chef of the county Cheng family is good, and the food is very fragrant, which is the best meal Lu Chen has eaten since he crossed.

During the meal, Zhang Shu said that the county magistrate knew that Lu Chen was coming, so he deliberately avoided it, and also said that the county magistrate was greedy and despicable, and his family was rich and cloudy. The implication is naturally to let Lu Chen rob the county magistrate's house, don't stare at his house. It can be seen that the county is so nervous, didn't you see all the male servants in his house? Not to mention the hostess, not even the ugly maid has seen a single one, needless to say, they are all locked up in the house.

Fortunately, Lu Chen doesn't have a special habit like Cao Apu-snatching wives and concubines, otherwise, the Guannei Mansion will not be safe. Lu Chen is a little virgin, no matter in his past life or present life, he has excellent thinking and noble moral sentiments, so naturally he will not enter the inner house of Zhangshu to get a glimpse of the seclusion. Therefore, although Zhang Shu trembled, Lu Chen just picked his teeth with a bamboo stick, and by the way, he instructed Cao Xuan to go to the county magistrate's house to send warmth, if the county magistrate's family wanted to give gifts, it would not be good to chill people's hearts, just accept it, Cao Xuan smiled crookedly.

Sunset.

Just when Lu Chen and the others dragged several large boxes of gifts that Zhang Shu had forced over, and were about to leave, they met a young girl at the gate.

The little girl was twelve or thirteen years old, with two pigtails, snow-white skin, and watery eyes, which were very cute. She was jumping in from the outside, holding a newly made pure iron dog collar and a leather rope in her hand, and when she saw Zhang Shu, she called her father crisply, and jumped towards the back house.

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, he licked his tongue greedily, trembling with excitement, and he screamed in his heart: Delicious! Exceptional deliciousness! How can you let it go?

"Little girl, stop!"

Lu Zhan has followed Lu Chen for more than ten years, how can he not know Xiaojun's temperament? Seeing Lu Chen's eyes shining, he immediately stopped the girl.

The little girl turned around with a look of ignorance, looked at the people she didn't know, and then looked at her father.

Zhang Shu suddenly tightened the chrysanthemum, jumped eight zhang high, and danced to persuade Lu Chen to go to the Qinglou in the city, where there were many beautiful and cheap girls, and they were almost in tears.

Lu Qile looked at his younger brother with his hands crossed, his eyes lingering below Lu Chen's navel line.

Lu Chen grinned, like a bloodthirsty beast, twisting his butt that had not yet healed and walked towards the little girl, Rao is Zhang Shu was frightened, but he didn't dare to stop it.

Walking in front of the little girl, Lu Chen crossed his waist and smiled, and then said, "Little girl, you have a dog at a young age?" ”

The little girl's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and calmly replied: "Sort of." ”

"Very good! Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Lu Chen laughed cheaply, causing Zhang Shu's legs to tremble into twists, Lu Zhan even rolled up his sleeves, ready to pounce on the little girl back to give Xiaojun a warm **, Lu Qihao laughed twice, and said in his heart, has the little brother really grown up?

"What do you want to do?" The little girl finally sensed a hint of threat in Lu Chen's eyes and took half a step back.

"Humph! What am I going to do? Lu Chen smiled hideously, "Hand over your dog, I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time!" Tsk......"

Zhang Shu suddenly sat down on the ground, Lu Zhan's face twitched, but Lu Qi crossed his waist and laughed loudly.

The little girl whispered, "Well, that thing can't be eaten!" ”

Zhang Shu was taken aback, and also bounced up, and said: "Little Wenhou, that, that's really not a dog, that little thing can't be eaten, really!" ”

"Could it be a cat?" Lu Chen muttered, and then yelled, "Hugh is going to push back and forth, take me to see it for yourself!" ”

Zhang Shu still wanted to shirk it, but the little girl saw her father's miserable appearance, and she was scared, so she took Lu Chen to the back house. Outside a small boudoir, the little girl pointed to the inside of the house and said, "It's inside." ”

"Uh......h Woohoo......"

There was a soft cry from inside the house, but Lu Chen couldn't hear what it was. Under the ** of dog meat hot pot, he used to push the door, eating dog meat in winter is the most nourishing, much better than beef and mutton.

Squeak.

The door opened, and in the empty room, a small beast the size of a lamb was curled up in the corner. The light was dim, but he couldn't see what it was, Lu Chen saw only a gray patch, as if the little beast was still trembling.

Stepping in, Lu Chen walked to the corner suspiciously, buried his head, and looked at the little beast closely, the little beast seemed to be aware of it, and also raised its head.

"Ahh

Lu Chen was so frightened that he took a few steps back, his face was pale, his eyes were terrified, and his teeth were trembling.

"Woo......"

The little beast was frightened and kept retreating, screaming in terror.

It's just that now everyone has seen the face of the little beast clearly, so where are the cats and dogs? It was clearly a little girl of four or five years old! The little girl was thin and yellow, wrapped in gray rags, with hair like withered grass, a pale complexion, a frightened gaze, and a rope around her neck that bound him to a pillar beside her.

"This, this, this ......"

Lu Chen pointed at the little girl in shock and looked at Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu said with a smile: "This is a plaything that Shu bought for the little girl, the little girl doesn't like cats and dogs, and this little thing is not expensive, only a hundred yuan, I bought it." It's not very obedient, but it probably can't be eaten, so the humble will stop Xiao Wenhou, and I hope that Xiao Wenhou will not blame. ”

If you don't like cats and dogs, buy people as ** things? Only a hundred dollars? Half cheaper than a dog? Probably can't eat it? Probably?

Lu Chen only felt that his head had exploded, and he didn't know where he was at all, there was only one thought left in his head, a little loli was worth a hundred dollars?
