Chapter 31: The show has just begun
Zhao Yun sat in a daze for a long time, until the screams of the villagers who got up early suddenly sounded outside.
"Look, the sun is coming out in the west",
"Oh no, it's a reversal!"
"The sun rises in the west, and the gods are angry!"
Zhao Yun suddenly came back to his senses, put on his clothes, pushed open the wooden house and walked out quickly.
It was about 5:15 a.m., and the air in the village was clear under the twilight and trees, and a red sun hung abruptly over the clouds in the western sky.
Zhao Yun was taken aback, looked back at the east, and saw that at the end of the eastern sky, a red dawn was permeated, and there was no sun (mirage phenomenon, the real scene that happened in Xiangtan in 2020).
Witnessing such a bizarre scene, the villagers were panicked and fell to their knees, throwing themselves on the ground and praying quietly.
Zhao Yun silently watched the red sun rising in the west, and let out a "hiss", and his suspicions increased.
Half an hour ago, he said conclusively: "Unless the sun comes out of the west, he will never recognize Lu Bu as the master", this sentence is still in his ears, and the sun will really come out of the west?
Is this abnormal scene a coincidence or providence?
Zhao Yun stood in place for a long time, until the red sun in the clouds in the west slowly dissipated, and a new sun rose from the red glow in the east sky, illuminating the whole world, and he was still motionless, like a sculpture.
He re-examined what Lu Bu had done after he came out of the mountain in his mind, and suddenly felt that many of the latter's actions were actually out of helplessness and could be forgiven, so he muttered to himself: "Could it be.... Do I really have a master-slave friendship with him? β
β¦β¦
Xuzhou,
Xiapi.
Early in the morning, Lu Bu got up energetically and practiced the Thirty-six Ways of Leveling the Heavenly Halberd in the courtyard.
Although he had spent five months in the simulation scenario, in reality, today was only the second day he had crossed over.
Today is October 30 of the third year of Jian'an.
Outside the city, 100,000 Cao troops were still violently surrounding Xiapi, and at the same time were preparing to divert water to irrigate the city.
In the city, 100,000 people and 50,000 soldiers are still safe, there are still six of the seven strong generals, only Wei Xu was killed by Hou Cheng yesterday, and the other generals are safe and sound.
The basic plate is still the basic plate, and the situation is still the critical situation of "the army is crushing the city and wants to destroy it".
But compared to the frightened heart when he first came yesterday, Lu Bu's heart was full of confidence at this moment.
What a lonely Jedi, what a hundred thousand Cao troops... In front of him Grand Master Lu, there is no need to worry!
Like ants!
As long as he raised his hand, he could turn 100,000 Cao Jun into powder!
But he couldn't.
Doing so will wipe Cao Cao to the end of the army!
Once Cao Cao's entire army is annihilated, then the biggest beneficiary must not be him Lu Bu, but Yuan Shao.
Losing Cao Cao's resistance, Yuan Shao is likely to push the Central Plains.
Therefore, the best result of the defense of Xiapi can only be to defeat Cao Cao, make him feel pain, and dare not easily invade Xuzhou again; But it didn't hurt Cao Cao particularly much; There is still the strength to fight.
In this way, Cao Cao can attract Yuan Shao's firepower in front and create space and time for him to survive; Then, he can hide behind Cao Cao, level Yuan Shu, and step Huaiyu; Get rid of Sun Ce and annex Jiangdong; Create a huge force across the three states of Xu, Yu and Yang.
In Lu Bu's vision, the best way to resolve the siege of Xuzhou was to shake hands with Cao Cao.
As for the way of peace? Of course, it is to learn from Guan Yu, and with the three chapters of the law, it is especially pointed out that "the Han is not Cao", and then when Cao Cao goes to fight with Yuan Shaoguandu, he will be killed in the Jianghuai region.
Of course, Lu Bu also knew that this idea was a bit too wishful thinking and too naΓ―ve, no less than the sentence in the original time and space, "The public is a guest, and the cloth is a prisoner, why not say a word and be lenient". In terms of the situation at that time, the small favor of the Yuanmen halberd was not worth mentioning in the face of the double injury of "first taking Liu Bei Xuzhou, and then chasing Liu Bei out of Xiaopei"; Liu Bei was eager to stab the original owner to death at that time, how could he say anything to save him.
Just like at this moment, under the background that the original owner once "sneaked up on Yanzhou and beat Cao Cao to the point that there were only three counties left", Cao Cao needed a lot of mind and courage to uncover this stubble.
Besides, Cao Cao is not a stupid person, how could he make peace in this way? Then he was stunned to attract Yuan Shao's firepower in front of him, creating time and space for him Lu Bu to develop?
Considering the intelligence of Cao Cao and his think tank, it is almost impossible to achieve such a strategic goal.
But Lu Bu wanted to try.
If after trying, the two families really can't negotiate peace, and a war will definitely break out, then the only way to ask Cao Cao to taste the power of "Skyfall" is to ask Cao Cao.
However, considering that in the original time and space, in order to resist Yuan Shao, who was about to go south, Cao Cao could even accept a murderous enemy like Zhang Xiu, there is no reason not to accept him, the world's number one fierce general?
Lu Bu flickered and moved, dancing the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand like a big windmill, while letting his thoughts diverge boundlessly, thinking about the possibilities of lifting the siege of Xiapi.
Having "Skyfall" does not mean that the siege of Xiapi has been completely resolved, and "Skyfall" can only guarantee that the probability of him surviving this crisis has greatly increased.
Even if Cao Jun was defeated, the Xuzhou dilemma still existed. Sun Ce, who watched the fire from the other side, Yuan Shao, who sharpened his knife, and Yuan Shu, who always wanted to connect Huainan and Xuzhou, all posed a serious threat to Xuzhou.
After practicing the halberd method, Lu Bu took the move in a handsome posture and looked sideways.
Gao Shun and Chen Gong had been waiting for a long time, the two of them came from front to back, and when they saw him practicing martial arts, they didn't bother.
"Gongtai, but something?"
Lu Bu's gaze swept over Gao Shun and landed on Chen Gong.
Originally, only Gao Shun came alone this morning to report to him the military situation of "Cao's army flooding the city"; But now, Chen Gong is also here.
This is a little different from the scenario of the simulated scenario.
So, something must have happened.
Chen Gong arched his hand slightly, and took out a swarthy and round disc from his sleeve: "Fengxian, the soldier picked this up in the city." β
Lu Bu raised his hand to take it, only to feel that his hand sank, and the disc was also quite weighty, and he looked at it intently, and found that there was a yin and yang fish engraved on the front of the disk, and five words were engraved under the yin and yang fish: Qiankun Five Elements Array.
On the back of the disc, rows of text are densely engraved, and the content is the essence of the layout of the "Qiankun Five Elements Array".
Chen Gong held his sleeves with both hands, and his expression was solemn: "Fengxian, the Cao army has begun to flood the city, and our army must be careful to take precautions." β
Lu Bu didn't seem to realize how serious this sentence was, his eyes did not take his eyes off the disc, and replied lightly: "The matter of patrolling, I have full authority to ask the public platform, but if there are those who do not obey your orders, the military law will do it!" β
What Chen Gong wanted was this feeling of being in power, so he immediately gave it up and rushed away.
Lu Bu turned his head. Staring at Gao Shun's resolute and tough face, he went up and hugged him, patted him lightly on the back, and said kindly: "Zhongda, you have something to do with me?" β
The sudden intimacy made Gao Shun shudder, a little at a loss, and looked at him in disbelief.
"Fengxian, you...?"
