Chapter 220: Qingzhou City is in danger, and Lu Bu is in a desperate situation
Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Yes, Pi'er has reached the age where he can exercise his responsibilities, so let him be stationed in Xuchang, but Pi'er is young after all, and the matter of Xuchang still depends on Wen Ruo." ”
Xun Yu bowed, "Huh." ”
Xun Yu's face was expressionless at this time, it was difficult for others to know what he was thinking at the moment, he had a serious face, and the city was extremely deep, and he never showed any emotions easily.
……
In December, Cao Cao personally led his troops from Xuchang to the north, deployed defenses in Guandu, Baima, Yanjin and other places, and set up camps.
In this battle, it is even necessary to start a war with Yuan Shao in advance.
On the other side, under the leadership of Xi Yu, people and soldiers from all over the country continued to build grain stations along the marching route.
So far, the entire north of Yanzhou, north of Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and some areas of Jizhou have entered a very tense war!
At this time, in Beihai City, Qingzhou, Lu Bu's mansion.
A lady who was as beautiful as heaven and full of charm personally put on a robe for Lu Bu, and said softly, "General, such a cold wind, who are you going to fight against?" ”
"I don't know what my concubine is, it's that drama that deceives me too much!" Lu Bu was very annoyed.
"General, but I heard that the drama is ......" The woman beside Lu Bu has a shy appearance of a closed moon, a bewitching figure, and her gestures are charming, very charming.
"General, in the eyes of the concubine, I heard that the drama master is very benevolent and righteous, and he is by no means a fierce person, why don't the general consider it and join forces with him to ......" The beautiful woman said softly.
"Diao Chan! What do you mean by this, can you make me fall into his teasing?! ”
Lu Bu's eyes were bloodshot, staring at his beloved concubine in disbelief.
Mrs. Lu Bu was originally Yan's, and the two of them had a daughter, named Lu Lingqi, but now Lu Bu is the most favored concubine.
But Lu Bu didn't expect that his favorite concubine seemed to persuade him to surrender to Xiyu, which made Lu Bu very annoyed.
Diao Chan was not afraid of Lu Bu, and said, "General...... The concubine sees that you are always unsettled, it is difficult to sleep all night, and you are always talking about the drama in your mouth, so I naturally want to solve problems for the general. ”
"How can I be a concubine, I don't know how to help the general, but this drama is an adult, and I know it as a concubine, if the general takes the initiative to show favor and make friends with him, maybe I can exchange peace."
"It's nonsense, woman's opinion!"
After saying that, Lu Bu immediately straightened up the battle armor on his body, and his majestic and mighty body suddenly stood upright, and he glanced at Diao Chan in a condescending manner.
For some reason, at this moment, Lu Bu suddenly felt a sense of irritability in his heart, and he didn't even want to talk to Diao Chan anymore.
In recent months, Lu Bu has been worried about the affairs of Xuzhou, he and Diao Chan have not slept in the same bed for several months, and Lu Bu and Lu Bu are only named husband and wife.
Lu Bu originally thought that relying on the richness of Qingzhou, he would be able to go south to capture Xuzhou and defeat Xi Yu.
What he didn't expect was that now Xuzhou Xiyu dared to take the initiative to attack Qingzhou.
But Lu Bu knows very well in his heart that today's Xuzhou has developed commerce and talents, and is proud of business development and talents.
Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan and said with a light smile, "Hehe...... Diao Chan ......"
"I heard that Xi Yu has a total of five wives and concubines, all of whom are beautiful and fragrant, from this point of view, Xi Yu may like beauties the most."
Lu Bu stared at Diao Chan and laughed in a low voice, "Diao Chan, you have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and you are even more graceful, Xi Yu must like it, I will give you to Xi Yu, how about it?" ”
Diao Chan was suddenly frightened, she immediately knelt on the ground, bit her lip, and was even shocked and humiliated in her heart, "General...... The concubine's words and suggestions are to share your worries and solve problems, why did the general say such hurtful words?! ”
Lu Bu suddenly said coldly, "Hehehe...... You think I'm afraid of drama? ”
After that, Lu Bu got up and picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd from the shelf in the inner room, and said very indifferently, "If you want that Xiahou Dun to be so invincible, you won't be killed by me and lose your armor!" ”
"Now that Xi Yu is looking for death, how can I not kill him! I will cut off Xi Yu's head, so that you know how much a Xi Yu is worthy, and I have never been afraid of him! ”
With that, Lu Bu strode outside.
Diao Chan really had no choice but to frown at Lu Bu.
At this moment, Diao Chan's pink dress fluttered in the wind, the ribbons on her shoulders fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were full of worry.
"Have you ever thought that if you kill the drama master, wouldn't it be like killing the sages of the world, not only Cao Cao will not let the general go, but even those Confucian scholars will hate you......"
Diao Chan had seen the portrait of Xi Yu before, and she felt that Xi Yu was a very kind and kind person.
Not long ago, Xi Yu risked his own safety to save at least millions of people in Jizhou.
Because of this, even if Xi Yu abolishes Confucianism and does something deviant, the people also understand and support the Lord of Xi Yu, which is effective......
The New Year is approaching, but this year, due to the war, there will be no dance of the Arowana, but we should have the heart of dying on the battlefield.
At this time, Cao Cao led his troops to attack the west of Qingzhou, and Xi Yu attacked the southern part of Qingzhou.
And Qingzhou's moat against Jizhou was directly taken down by Cao Ren's leopard cavalry, and then they guarded it and became a natural defense line for Cao Cao.
If Yuan Tan hadn't run fast, he would probably have lost his life.
Within a month, Xi Yu's white and black horsemen went crazy killing near the North Sea.
Whether it was a chaotic battle to kill the enemy, or a late-night raid, they were invincible, so that the soldiers under Lu Bu's command did not dare to set up camp outside the city, and soon, Lu Bu lost many cities.
Moreover, all the cities were seized for almost the same reason: dare not wander outside!
The camp shall not go out of the city.
Like a turtle with a shrunken head, it hides in the city and does not dare to go out.
However, the city is not a place for them to defend.
The fighting continued until the second month later, and a large number of catapults were transported to the front line of the battlefield.
In this way, Lu Bu and his soldiers were very annoyed.
When you leave the camp, you will be mercilessly hunted, hiding in the city, but you will be mercilessly bombed by catapults.
This situation lasted for less than a month, and the strongest trap camp under Lu Bu and himself were close to being driven crazy. ”
Soon, affected by this incident, Lu Bu soon became a big change in temperament!
He thought that Xi Yu would personally put on his armor and go into battle, but who would have thought that Xi Yu was not on the battlefield at all.
Since the start of the war, Xi Yu has been sitting in the rear, and he has been fighting fiercely with Zhao Zilong, Dian Wei and others several times.
In this way, when the whole battle situation was in the spring, Lu Bu could only retreat to the land of Beihai and defend it in Beihai Country and Pingshou City.
"It's so hard for me......"
Lu Bu looked up to the sky and sighed, and then took a sip of wine.
Now, among the surrounding cities, only Pingshou City still belongs to him, and the rest of the territories have all passed the New Year!
They are actually celebrating the New Year!!
The soldiers of Xi Yu are making dumplings for the common people, in order to win over the homeless refugees, in order to buy people's hearts!
The Qingzhou soldiers under the command of Xi Yu were originally local people in Qingzhou, and Xi Yu ordered the Qingzhou soldiers under his command to talk to the people, plus Xi Yu is now famous, and everywhere he goes, he can be described as invincible!
"What a bastard, hateful!!"
Lu Bu was very annoyed in his heart, and he was even more disappointed.
He kept beating the case hard, and when it was really uncomfortable, Lu Bu shook it even harder, and directly swept all the scrolls and maps on the case to the ground!
Now, in front of Lu Bu, only Gao Shun is a fierce general and Kong Rong who bows his head and sighs.
"General......
Diao Chan grabbed Lu Bu and gently gave him a smooth back, very worried about him in his heart.
"Get out of here!"
Lu Bu didn't appreciate it at all, shook off Diao Chan, and scolded loudly.
At this moment, Lu Bu was very disappointed, he thought back to his years of life, but he didn't understand why he had fallen so far.
Lu Bu was already irritable and lost, and when he heard Kong Rong sighing on the side, Lu Bu suddenly stood up, rushed to Kong Rong, grabbed his shirt fiercely, and said coldly, "Kong Rong, I have long ordered you to let the Shi clan belong to me, why are you unwilling to contribute?!" ”
"I treat you well, why do you want to hurt me?!" Lu Bu couldn't wait to kill Kong Rong.
"General, General......"
Diao Chan and Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu had a murderous aura, and immediately stepped forward to stop Lu Bu.
This matter has little to do with Kong Rong, although he is a famous man, but the scholar clan is unwilling to assist Lu Bu, Kong Rong alone really can't convince the scholar clan.
It was really Lu Bu who was too brutal and had a bad reputation since Yanzhou.
This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Kong Rong, although he is a celebrity, but one person can't say anything about all the scholars, and those people are unwilling to assist Lu Bu.
Now, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu have joined forces, and the two are simply a raccoon dog.
If Yuan Shu is not called the emperor, and he is attacked back and forth, Yanzhou will have a chance to get it.
But now......
But it was a complete defeat!
Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu in front of him, and was very distressed, seeing that there were no outsiders here, he was very uncomfortable and persuaded, "General, it's better to open the city and surrender to the command of Lord Xi!" ”
"With the reputation of the benevolent and righteous gentleman of the drama lord, I will not embarrass you, and with the majesty of the general, I will definitely be able to worship the official under the command of the drama lord, and make meritorious contributions, why worry about no glory and wealth?"
"Smack!"
Lu Bu slapped Diao Chan in the face with his backhand.
Diao Chan was stunned.
"Concubine! What nonsense are you talking about?! ”
"Could it be that you've empathized with that bastard of Xi Yu?! Open your mouth and close your mouth to play adults......"
"I can't wait to kill you right away!"
Lu Bu's eyes were bloodshot, staring at Diao Chan viciously, his eyes were very cold-blooded, which frightened Diao Chan in the bottom of his heart.
Since Dong Zhuo came back, Diao Chan had never seen Lu Bu so terrifying and terrifying
Before this, no matter what she did, even if the ministers talked about her, Lu Bu had always cared for her in every way, and he had never been so fierce and vicious at her now.
But now......
Seeing this, Gao Shun said in a deep voice, "General, you are in a hurry and are enchanted!" ”
Now only Gao Shun can still talk about Lu Bu.
Diao Chan fell to the ground and raised his head very uncomfortably, and the only hope left in his heart for Lu Bu gradually faded.
Not only Diao Chan, but Kong Rong, who was in a state of panic on the side, was also extremely disappointed at this time, and just wanted to escape from Lu Bu.
I really can't think of any perfect way to escape, just because the family and clan are still in Beihai, when he was the Taishou of Beihai, because he cared about the people, he never arranged for his family and clan to evacuate.
In this way, once Kong Rong wanted to flee with his family and clan, he would not be able to get rid of Lu Bu's pursuit.
"General, now...... We have almost no chance of winning, but if you want to continue your quest, you have to ......"
There was really no other way, Kong Rong had no choice but to offer Lu Bu another plan.
This strategy is also a desperate move.
Hearing this, Lu Bu, who was almost desperate, immediately had a hint of hope in his eyes, "Mr. Say it quickly, please ask Mr. to save me between life and death!" ”
"Please teach me, sir!"
Seeing that Kong Rong actually had a plan, Lu Bu's tone suddenly became much softer, and he noticed that Fang Cai's emotions were too extreme, which frightened Diao Chan and Kong Rong.
Kong Rong let out a long sigh and said after a long time, "General......"
"For today's plan, you can lead a team of soldiers to break through the western border with all your might, recapture the Yellow River and Jishui, and then build a warship to welcome Yuan Shao into the country, and unite with him to resist the soldiers of Xuzhou!"
"In my opinion, if the general surrenders to Xiyu, he may be able to ensure stability in Qingzhou, but it is difficult for you to do anything, general."
"Or, it's better to ...... directly after the general breaks through Sincerely attached to Yuan Shao, with the talent of a general, Yuan Shao will definitely take you under his command. ”
Hearing Kong Rong's strategy, Lu Bu's mind was very wavering.
He slowly sat on the steps, his eyes were very empty, and Lu Bu only felt that his whole mind was very messy.
Kong Rong's strategy, in the final analysis, is not much different from Diao Chan's meaning, which is to make him surrender......
Lu Bu couldn't help but think of the past.
Over the years, he traveled to many places, survived, first from Chang'an to Yuan Shao, then to Zhang Yang, and then he followed the strategy of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, originally wanted to invade Yanzhou, but ultimately failed......
Then he wanted to take refuge in Yuan Shu, who would have thought that Yuan Shu would actually be the emperor, and in desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to take Qingzhou......
But in this land of Qingzhou, it is good to defend Jizhou, if you want to defend Qingzhou and Yanzhou, it will be difficult.
Lu Bu didn't expect that now Kong Rong persuaded him to defect to Yuan Shao again.
For some reason, when he thought of this, Lu Bu only felt that he was like a lost dog, several times more tragic than Liu Bei......
Lu Bu was very unwilling in his heart: Thinking of me Lu Bu, holding Fang Tian's halberd and riding a red rabbit horse, it should have been a ...... The invincible man of the god of war!
has ended up being chased around like this today, like a rat crossing the street!
"Impossible!! Even if I die on the battlefield, I will no longer live under anyone! ”
Lu Bu suddenly said coldly.
It's just that there are less than 9,000 soldiers and horses left in Bingzhou, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are recruited from Qingzhou, but the money for these recruits is all snatched from the scholars and merchants, and now, all the scholars and merchants are not willing to support Lu Bu at all.
This is the most tragic thing for Lu Bu.
Kong Rong looked at Lu Bu and said with a blank expression, "Do you really want to fight?" ”
"That's nature, I'm going to kill again!!"
Lu Bu gritted his teeth with hatred at this time, "Now, Cao Cao is in the west, I will avoid Xi Yu first, there are many fierce generals around Xi Yu, so Cao Cao's place must be lacking, in this way, I only need to rush into Cao Cao's base camp and capture him alive, and threaten Xi Yu with Cao Cao, at that time, everything will not be known!" ”
"Now, this is my only chance to turn over!"
……
Qingzhou, it was expected that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses would not dare to go out of the city at this time, and Xi Yu would build the camp in a barren mountain.
This place is not far from Pingshou City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the only thing that needs to be guarded against is the snow on the mountain, once the snow rolls down and falls, it will definitely block the march road.
After the camp was established, Xi Yu ordered the soldiers to light a fire on the hillside, and the snow gradually melted into snow.
Xi Yu ordered people to build a reservoir to preserve the melting snow.
In this way, snow avalanches are prevented and snow water can be used to prevent fires.
Everything was arranged, Xi Yu walked out of the barracks, followed by Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu.
At this time, Cao Ang guarded Xuzhou, and Xi Yu did not have any worries.
Xi Yu took the three of them to the forward camp, and an hour ago, Huang Zhong had already rushed back with a topographic map near Pingshou City.
Hearing that Xi Yu was coming, Huang Zhong immediately walked out of the camp to greet Xi Yu and the others.
At this time, Huang Zhong was wearing a white mink fur, he was already broad-shouldered and fat-waisted, and the whole person was very majestic and mighty.
Huang Zhong said very confidently, "My lord, I have already found out, and now I only need 50,000 soldiers and horses to capture Pingshou City!" ”
Xi Yu smiled faintly and said, "It is feasible to attack by force, but it is better if you go out of the city to meet and attack again after Lu Bu goes out." ”
Between the words, Xi Yu led everyone to ride horses and gallop, to the top of the mountain with a wide field of vision, overlooking Pingshou City.
From a distance, Pingshou City and Shouchun City are much smaller.
Xi Yu thought in his heart: If he used catapults to bomb for several days and nights, or used flint and fire oil to burn and other offensive methods, Pingshou City would inevitably be breached.
Now, what Xi Yu is most concerned about is whether Lu Bu dares to go out of the city to fight!
In Xi Yu's view, if Lu Bu didn't dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle, he could only flee and defect to Yuan Shao.
But Cao Cao had already personally led his troops to guard the road to Yuan Shao, and it was basically impossible for Lu Bu to defect to Yuan Shao.
"Pingshou City, it must be captured!" Xi Yu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were slightly moved and said, "Maybe we can wait for Lu Bu to take the initiative to surrender, although this person has no credibility at all, but he is a good hand at training......"
"You don't have to wait for Lu Bu to surrender......" Xi Yu looked at Pingshoucheng and said with a solemn face, "Do you know Diao Chan?" ”
"Diao?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and felt that there was something in the joke.
"Who is this person?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled.
"I've heard a little about this person, and I've heard that this person is ......."
Guo Jia knew something about Diao Chan, but it was inconvenient to say it.
In order to get rid of Dong Zhuo, Diao Chan was used as bait and had to sacrifice himself, thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a very strong sense of tragedy in his heart......
Xi Yu suddenly said in a deep voice, "Do you know that Diao Chan is a beautiful wife that many men dream of. ”
"Lu Bu treats her badly, often beats and scolds her, and when Pingshou City is captured, I will definitely take a good look at such a stunning beautiful wife...... Even if I become a plumber, a housekeeper, or a gardener, I'm going to see the sable! ”
