Chapter 63: Playing with the palms of the hand
"Wen Hou, we might as well wait for tomorrow, if Zhang Miao doesn't surrender sincerely, it's not too late to attack the city."
Zhang Liao nodded in agreement.
Lu Bu thought for a moment, finally nodded, and said to Xu Yan in a cold voice,
"Okay, go back and tell Zhang Miao, and I'll believe him again!"
"Wen Hou Yingming!"
Xu Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Lu Bu, and then got up to leave.
After deciding to wait for Zhang Miao to surrender tomorrow, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to attack the city.
He ordered the army to camp and wait for the next day.
It's night.
After Lu Bu had dinner, he went to Yan's bed early.
While the couple was sleeping soundly, there was a sudden noise from outside.
The two were awakened from their dreams.
"Husband, what's going on?"
Yan was timid in his heart and looked at Lu Bu worriedly.
Lu Bu listened attentively, and it was clear that there was a shout of killing from outside!
"You wait in the tent, don't move around!"
He said a word with a solemn face, quickly put on his armor, picked up Fang Tian's halberd and walked outside.
happened to meet Zhang Liao and hurried over,
"Wen Hou!"
"Wen Yuan, what's wrong?"
"Back to Wenhou, I just met General Xuan Gao (Zang Ba name) who was in charge of the night vigil, and he said that he had encountered a night attack by the enemy army just now!"
Lu Bu was shocked, and hurriedly said,
"How's it going?"
"Thanks to General Xuangao, the enemy did not succeed."
Zhang Liao replied.
Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice,
"Wenyuan, you come with me!"
He took Zhang Liao and his own soldiers and went straight to the gate of the camp.
Zang Ba, who is on duty tonight, is leading the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing Lu Bu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute,
"I've seen Wen Hou!"
Lu Bu waved his hand, his eyes looked at the corpse on the ground, and his face instantly turned pale.
The corpses of the enemy soldiers who were killed in the attacking camp were all wearing the clothes of Zhang Miao's army!
"Zhang Miao, a dog thief, dares to play tricks on me again!"
He roared!
At this moment, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and other generals also heard the movement and rushed over.
"Wen Hou, what's going on?"
"See for yourselves!"
Lu Bu said with a sullen face.
After listening to Zang Ba tell the story, Cao Xing, Hao Meng and other generals instantly became noisy,
"Zhang Miao, who is a dog, dares to attack the camp!"
"Wen Hou, he doesn't take you seriously!"
"Tomorrow we will attack the city!"
Only Gao Shun frowned and hesitated,
"Wen Hou, my subordinates always feel ...... Something wasn't quite right......"
"Something is wrong!"
Lu Bu said coldly,
"If I hadn't specially instructed Zang Ba tonight to let him do a good job of defense, wouldn't I have let Zhang Miao's sneak attack succeed?"
"No wonder this bastard said that he would surrender tomorrow, he was thinking of attacking the camp tonight!"
Gao Shun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but saw Lu Bu glaring at him viciously,
"Gao Shun, you have spoken for Zhang Miao many times, could it be that he promised you any benefits?"
"Wen Hou is wronged! How dare his subordinates have the idea of betraying Wen Hou? β
Gao Shun was startled and opened his mouth to argue.
"Yes, Marquis Wen, General Gao Shun is loyal, how can he have dealings with Zhang Miao."
Zhang Liao also hurriedly interceded for Gao Shun.
"It's better to do it!"
Lu Bu snorted coldly, turned his head and said to the rest of the people,
"Have a good rest tonight, and we'll attack the city early tomorrow morning!"
"Whoa!"
The crowd roared.
Lu Bu was the first to leave, and the rest of the people also left.
Gao Shun was left alone, standing in place in despair.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao stepped forward and patted Gao Shun's shoulder,
"You don't have to go to your heart, Wen Hou is just angry in his heart!"
"Thank you Wenyuan for your relief."
Gao Shun smiled reluctantly, bowed his head and walked towards his tent, but his heart was full of sadness.
He was loyal to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu knew his loyalty, but he didn't reuse him.
Not only that, but the most elite trapped camp under Gao Shun was also asked by Lu Bu to leave and handed over to Wei Xu to lead.
It wasn't until the war came that LΓΌ Bu ordered the soldiers and troops to be returned to Gao Shun.
This time I came to Yanzhou, and what happened along the way was too strange in Gao Shun's opinion.
He just reported what he thought to Lu Bu truthfully.
But in exchange for Lu Bu being so suspicious!
Thinking of Lu Bu's indifferent attitude towards himself before, how did this not make Gao Shun feel lonely?
Maybe...... Lu Bu is not his own master, right?
Gao Shun thought silently.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
Zhang Miao in the city had already prepared everything and was waiting for the progress of Lu Bu's army.
He first sent Xu Yan to communicate with Lu Bu.
Xu Yan didn't think much about it, so he rode out of the city and came straight to Lu Bu.
"Wen Hou!"
He greeted Lu Bu with a smile, but he didn't notice Lu Bu's murderous eyes at all!
Before Xu Yan could react, Fang Tian's halberd was already waving high!
"Click!"
Xu Yan's huge head flew high!
Until he lost consciousness, he didn't understand what was going on!
Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others on the city wall were also stunned when they saw this scene.
What's going on?
On his side, did he say that he promised Lu Bu that he would surrender the city?
Why did Lu Bu kill Xu Yan as a messenger?
Without waiting for them to react, Lu Bu held up Fang Tian's halberd, pointed at Chen Liucheng, and shouted,
"Siege!"
The voice landed.
The army under his command flocked to Chen Liucheng like a tide!
If this is for Lu Bu to rush into the city, I am afraid that if he does the others, he will become the soul of his sword!
So Chen Gong immediately shouted,
"Close the city gates, and don't let Lu Bu's army in!"
β¦β¦
Chen stayed on a small hillside outside the city.
Yang Ling stretched his waist and smiled at Xiahoudun on the side,
"General Yuanrang, we can go back."
Not bad.
Last night, it was Yang Ling who asked Cao Jun's soldiers to change into Zhang Miao's military uniform, and then attacked Lu Bu's military camp at night, in order to continue to provoke the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhang Miao!
Mr. Yang Ling is really clever!
Looking at Chen Liucheng, who was shouting and killing, Xia Houdun admired it in his heart, but at the same time, he was a little frightened.
Lu Bu and Zhang Miao are also considered heroes among the masters, but they were toyed with by Yang Ling between applause!
His control of people's hearts is so precise.
Fortunately, he, like himself, is working for the lord, otherwise, he would definitely be the lord's fierce rival!
β¦β¦
Xuzhou.
Cao Jun camp.
Cao Cao looked at Yutu, but his expression was a little solemn, and he even sighed slightly.
Guo Jia, who was on the side, heard his sigh and couldn't help but wonder,
"The war is going so well, why does the lord sigh for no reason?"
Since Cao Cao led a large army to attack Tao Qian in the name of avenging his father, progress has been quite smooth.
Originally, Xuzhou was stubbornly defending the city and refused to surrender.
He followed Yang Ling's instructions and told the cities that as long as they surrendered, they would be spared from killing.
