Chapter 174

"Lord, lord, something is not good!" Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Wang Kai, Chen Gong, and Xu Si all appeared at the door of Lu Bu for a visit, but they just refused to let the soldiers at the door. There was no way, and the few people shouted at the door.

The sky was cloudy and covered with dark clouds, as if it was ready to press on people at any time. The north wind that whizzed from time to time reminded people that winter was not far away. Two huge red storm lights at the door of Lu Bu Mansion were also blown around and hit the wall from time to time. It seemed that they would be ready to change into a new one soon.

For more than half an hour, I finally saw the figure of Lu Bu. The description was reduced. Although his handsome appearance was as usual, his yellow face and no longer sharp eyes made people suspect that this was the ability to fight. Zhang and the other two had the upper hand all night.

Before everyone could speak, Lu Bu yelled impatiently: "It's not that you can't bother with nothing! Why is it so anxious?"

Everyone was nervous and looked at each other with a few eyes as you pushed me and I pushed you, and finally looked at Wei Xu unanimously. Wei Xu didn't understand, and at this time he had to stand up. Chen Gong took out a roll of paper from his arms and handed it to Wei Xu solemnly. Wei Xu handed it to Lu Bu with respect with both hands.

Lu Bu didn't think there was nothing wrong with letting these people stand in front of his mansion. He let the north wind blow the weak civil servants tremble, and he didn't even look at the scroll of paper, let alone take it: "Ignore!"

Wei Xu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and unwilling to unfold the paper roll. There were several handwritten lines of official script: "There is Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who is in chaos today. There is a rebel Lu Bu who does not obey the king's orders, and he is self-reliant and usurp power. He is cruel and unruly, and he abuses the people and lives. Now the army is surrounding Xia Pi and will defeat the city soon, but he may be burned by jade and stone. But if anyone wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the army will surrender to the north before breaking the city, or open the door to wait for the army, and no matter whoever is willing to forgive the previous crime! If anyone can capture Lu Bu, the reward will be 200 yuan, 500 yuan silver, and the title of the guards!"

When Lu Bu heard this, his turbid eyes regained their vitality. The shining light made Gao Shun's heart ignite hope. As long as the lord still has a fight, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, Shura's killing field, he would have to go there. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's words made him completely give up: "Who is Lu Bu? He is only worth only two hundred gold and five hundred silver?"

The two fists were secretly pressing, and the blue veins on their hands suddenly appeared like wriggling earthworms, and they made a crackling sound: "Well, I'm just trying to see who can hold me Lu Bu in the world!"

Such domineering and heroic people feel in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Chen Gong and others, only four words are separated: "The courage of an ordinary man!"

The people were all in a state of silence. It seemed that Lu Bu was unsuccessful. What should I do if I died with Lu Bu or find another way to survive.

Only Gao Shun dared to speak out loudly: "The courage of the lord is unparalleled in the world. However, a large number of such paper scrolls of Cao's army were shot into the city. I had already collected people everywhere, hiding and circulating them privately is a death sentence. However, there are too many soldiers and the people know that the military spirit is in chaos and the people are deviating. Please make a decision early!"

Lu Bu's face gradually became gloomy, like the dark clouds in the sky. "I personally patrol the city, and the magnificent can help me! But if anyone circulated this, all of them will be executed!"

Gao Shun clasped his fists excitedly and said, "Here!" Seeing that Lu Bu finally got excited, he felt that it was not too boring to be loyal to this man.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of that day, Xu Si and Wang Kai, relying on being a "famous scholar", actually brought their relatives and family to surrender to Cao Cao over the wall, causing a huge uproar in Xiapi City. This was a loud slap on Lu Bu's face.

The angry Lu Bu began to show the cruel side of his personality. The soldiers and the people who didn't like him would kill him as soon as they wanted, which made the city panic and everyone was in danger.

Song, Wei and Hou were depressed and were drinking wine at Wei Xu's house in the evening. But Lu Bu didn't know what happened. He had no place to use his energy and had to patrol the city at night. But he didn't see the three of them. He heard that at Wei Xu's house, he came with his personal guards and Zhang Liao and Gaoshun.

"Bang!" The sturdy pine wood door was kicked off by someone, and the thick door bolt was kicked in two pieces by this afraid of kick. With a sour sound, he rolled out from afar. Behind the door, he came in with a gloomy face, like a god of death, and Lu Bu, who could not hide his murderous aura.

The three of them were shocked, and their cups fell to the ground one after another, turned into broken jade agar and flew away in all directions. They stood up in dismay, facing Lu Bu, who seemed to be committing a crime, was caught by the victim.

"Three are so elegant!" Lu Bu smiled, but the murderous aura on his face became even more scary because of this strange smile. "Don't you know that Cao's army is ready to attack the city at any time?"

The three of them began to tremble in disobedience, and their faces were pale. Even if they were angry, Lu Bu would subconsciously retreat even if he was a tiger. What's more, the three of them knew Lu Bu's temper well and wanted to get angry, even the gods would dare to kill him!

"Lord...Master! I, I, I, I, I," Wei Xuqiang squeezed a smile that seemed to be more like crying, "I, I, just..."

"Are you just waiting for Cao Cao to take a head?" Lu Bu roared loudly, making Wei Xu's smile that he had finally plucked up his courage to pretend was like snow and encountering the scorching sun, and it was fleeting.

"Come here, these three people are lazy for no reason when fighting, and they should be punished by the enemy! Behead immediately to warn you to warn you!"

The three of them didn't even stop heart, and they felt their minds blank.

Lu Bu wants to kill me?

The one who couldn't believe his ear was Wei Xu. He still remembers that every time his flattery made Lu Bu laugh, and also remembers what kind of in-law relationship he had with Lu Bu...

"My lord, please relieve the anger of thunder! This is the time to use people. It is better to record the faults of the three of them and pay for it with hard work!" Gao Shun hurriedly advised.

Zhang Liao also advised him, and Lu Buqiang took a deep breath. With his temper, he didn't listen to others' advice. If he hadn't known that there was no one available at the moment, I was afraid that the Daluo Jinxian would not be able to save the lives of the three of them.

"If Wen Yuan hadn't advised you, Zhengrong would have to kill you! Death crimes can be avoided, but life crimes cannot be spared! If someone comes, drag them out and he will be punished forty-year-olds!"

In Lu Bu's heart, he felt very compassionate, but he didn't know that in the hearts of the three, the seeds of hatred had taken root, blossomed, and sprouted...

"Boss Boss!" Zhang Feng stepped on the cold ground with barefoot barefoot, regardless of the gravel and mud, and rushed into Cao Cao's tent with a letter, followed by Dian Wei who was sweating profusely.

Cao Cao was sleeping soundly. He didn't know which mm he dreamed of in his dream. Zhang Feng was so shocked that he turned over and sat up from the couch. The drooling on the corner of his mouth suddenly disappeared, and he hung it on his white shirt from his mouth.

"It's okay! Let him come in!" Old Cao hurriedly wiped his saliva and said to Dian Wei.

"Is there any news?"

Zhang Feng opened the letter with a smile and said to Cao Cao: "Look, boss! Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng, please surrender the letter! There are also the autographs of the three of them! Haha, Xia Pi will definitely be taken this time."

There was no one in the tent, just a dim oil lamp. The oil was almost at the bottom, and the wick kept beating, as if Lao Cao was excited and nervous at this moment.

Zhang Feng squeezed to Lao Cao's couch and sat down, stuffed his two big feet covered in mud into Cao Cao's blanket, and Cao Cao also automatically moved his position inside.

Lao Cao looked at the sweaty letter for a while and asked again: "Where is the sender? Will there be a fraud? The letter did not say when will it be offered?"

Zhang Feng shook his head and said, "Boss, I guess this matter will not be fake. Think about it, Xu Si and Wang Kai surrendered from the city. Lu Bu would definitely not be able to stand this matter. According to his temper, he would definitely expose his anger on these three people, so these three people decided to surrender! And it was not stated that time was offered to the door. I think if we responded according to time and had no time to do it, wouldn't it make Lu Bu suspicious?"

"It makes sense!" Cao Cao nodded as soon as he heard Zhang Feng's analysis: "But you said at the beginning that we just need to surround Xia Pi City, and the city will be in chaos. Why is it so sure?"

"If Ziyi and I hadn't suppressed the Locust Army, we would have been dissatisfied. They came for military merits. If there was no war, wouldn't they come in vain?"

"Fortunately, as you expected, Xia Pi is really in chaos. Haha, tell me quickly, how did you know? Can you really calculate the past and the future?"

Zhang Feng laughed and looked at Cao Cao with a curious look: "It's profound to talk about this, and it involves some psychological activities in psychology about human nature and people's concerns about danger when it is about to happen..."

Cao Cao was confused and stopped the chorus: "Stop, what is the learning?"

"To put it bluntly, I understand Lu Bu's ideas, including most of his men. When our army surrounded Xia Pi, they would naturally worry that they would die with Lu Bu when the city was broken. Once we propaganda, we would say that as long as we surrender, we would not be punished, and said that capturing Lu Bu would be a meritorious person. Although this is impossible, the mobs under Lu Bu will inevitably have unstable morale. In addition, Xu Si and Wang Kai will definitely not be stupid enough to think that Lu Bu can beat us, and those who are afraid of death will surrender. With someone taking the lead, Lu Bu will be very proud of this matter. It will definitely be angry with the people around you. As long as their hearts change, Xia Pi will be defeated without attacking."

"So that's it!" Cao Cao suddenly realized and grabbed Zhang Feng's hands, "Zhiji, my greatest luck in my life is meeting you!"

"Boss, my greatest luck is that you have a beautiful and pitiful daughter!"

Lao Cao was stunned at first, and then the two laughed loudly.

Cao's army has captured the city!

It can be seen that the main force of the siege this time was the locust army of internal aid from Qingzhou. Forty thousand people were densely covered with the plains outside the north gate, and the hearts of the soldiers on the city who were already afraid and filled with fear. Looking at the forty thousand warriors who were solemn and murderous, a feeling of powerlessness that arises from the bone marrow from the head to the heels.

The left wing of the Locust Army was more than 30,000 people who Cao Cao personally took charge, and the right wing was Gan Ning's navy. No matter how you look, it was not like the gangsters, hooligans and scoundrels on the city wall. There was also the shiny armor of the 18,000 people, which made people's eyes turn red.

In the eyes of the Locust Army soldiers, they were disdainful to Cheng Gao Chijian at all. It was not that they were not afraid of bows and arrows, and they were not afraid of swords and guns. Since they became members of the Locust Army on the first day, they no longer cared about life and death.

Here, they are given a new identity, and they can stand up straight and be human.

Here, they were also given legally robbed passes. Although many of them were from the Yellow Turban Army and missed the life of drinking and eating meat in big bowls, even though they are officials now, such things can be done openly and reasonably and legally. Of course, the premise is that Taishi Ci and Cao Cao nodded.

Here, they also have income far better than other professions, and of course they have to be able to get it. If you are timid, afraid of blood, or are kind-hearted by nature, or have no power to tie a chicken, then your superiors will find you and advise you to go back and farm honestly.

Most of them could live a life that was called a petty bourgeoisie at that time, with fields, houses and wives. Even if they were not married, they could go to the yard to solve the most basic physiological needs. However, if they were in the army in other places, or as ordinary small merchants, handicraftsmen, and farmers, they would never be treated like this.

Therefore, they did not regret coming to this special group at all. Although many people disappeared from the ranks of chatting and fucking in the same tent last night, more people shrunk their heads and wanted to be one of them.

It’s not that they are not afraid of death, but that life is more terrifying than death.

Therefore, the Locust Army is not afraid of death, but is afraid of no war!

Taishi Ci, who had been leading the locust army for a long time, finally learned a little bit of a ruffian spirit, with his eyes slanted against such a tall city wall, full of disdain.

Behind him, Zuo Zuo and Yang Feng were more like two gangsters than generals. They always had a grassroots in their mouths, and their faces were like "I am a gangster". Ordinary people always had a knife around their waists, and they were usually straddled on the back of their necks...

"Big deal?" Yang Feng asked Taishi Ci in front of him with a flattering look on his face.

The originally honest and simple brother Taishi has been polluted into a black peony that has been stained with sludge and dyed: "Big p.m. The boss said that if they surrender, it would not be considered our military merits. This transaction would be a big loss - the travel expenses are not enough!"

Zuo Zuo smiled and said, "Boss, this is easy to deal with. As long as they don't have time to surrender, it will be done? We have done this before..."

"Hehe!" The three of them smiled like waves, and the enemy soldiers coming and going in the city turned into moving wallets.

"But boss, these five thousand helmet brothers are probably unwilling to do so. They have to hold shields below to cover others, but they can't climb the wall. This is a no-nothing thing. Who in our army is willing to do it?"

"Yeah!" Taishici twisted his chin with his right hand. Although he was touched with a lot of banditry, the three wisps of the wind-like mustache still looked handsome. "Then in this way, all the brothers who took advantage of the situation will take out 10% and share them with these brothers equally. What do you two say?"

"Boss is awesome!" The two of them flattered each other. They were doing well in the locust army, and their mouths were as important as knifes.

On the Baimen Tower, Lu Bu and his generals looked at the formation of Cao's army under the city, and felt a sense of pain.

Why are you doing so far apart when you are the same person?

Looking back at Zhang Liao's armor, it was still taken off from him...

Let’s look at the Cao army soldiers under the city. My god, even ordinary little soldiers have a set...

People compare people... Forget it, I won’t compete with them anymore. If I compare it, I might be able to die.

Lu Bu didn't notice that these ordinary soldiers with new armor had ten golden stars in the small grid on their left chest in front of them...

Represents a level ten military merit!

Although it is not necessary to kill ten people to achieve first-level military achievements, it is too scary for more than 10,000 people to have such military achievements? How many lives will it take to fill the little stars on the chests of more than 10,000 people?

Good steel must be used on the blade, and only the bravest soldiers are suitable for wearing the best armor.

Lu Bu supported his hands on the wall on the city tower with both hands and leaned down to look down. He originally thought that the dark crowds of people under the city would have been a mess, or was it a commotion, who would I, Lu Bu?

What disappointed him was that no one was birding with him, no one screamed or panicked, and no one looked at him and was swaying.

In fact, most people saw him, but what surprised Lu Bu was that a different kind of emotion slowly rose in these people's eyes... hunger?

More and more people began to see Lu Bu's eyes blurred and began to look forward to it. Originally, Lu Bu had only seen such eyes in Yan and Diao Chan's eyes, which was admiration for themselves, but what do these big men... want to do?

Someone started licking his lips...

Someone started drooling...

When many people looked at themselves with crazy eyes, even if he was Lu Bu, he retreated. He could not stand the burning of tens of thousands of people's fierce eyes! Lu Bu, he, would still be afraid of others' eyes! Because in the eyes of those people, the crazy thing was all about him, and the unconcealed fighting spirit!

They are not afraid of me, Lu Bu! They actually want to capture me!

Lu Bu took three steps back in a row in the city, and the same eyes of tens of thousands of people shocked and scared him.

Standing behind him, Song, Wei and Hou smiled coldly. Perhaps today, this reckless man who is both cruel and incompetent, who can only act based on his own brute force and personal preferences is about to be awarded the title.

"Wenyuan guards the east gate, Gonggong guards the south gate, and guards the west gate." Lu Bu issued every order. Although it seemed that Cao's army was mainly attacking the north gate, he did not dare to say whether the scheming Cao's army would attack the other gates at airs.

The three-sided drums sounded dull dong sound almost at the same time, like a high-power horn at a close distance, which shocked people's hearts. Everyone under the city chose to synchronize with the drum sound at that moment.

Although the training of the Locust Army is far less systematic and comprehensive than that of other Cao troops, they all have an advantage that other troops will never match!

Desire! The desire for killing, plundering, possession, and these things deep in human nature are nothing but more or less related. For the army like the Locust Army, which regards instinct as a career, it is even more crazy. The desire to satisfy one's own desires is transformed into action.

After receiving Taishi Ci's promise, the five thousand locust soldiers, who were dissatisfied, stepped forward with irregular steps, raised their huge shields, and opened up their distances to protect themselves from being both comrades-in-arms and business competitors.

The dense ladders were held up, like tens of thousands of firefighters were doing exercises to climb the tower. Although there were groans of being hit by the ladder from time to time, and the people being hit were scolded by the hitter, these locust soldiers with almost no concept of coordinated combat chose to cooperate with their comrades around them for the first time, and to understand...

Because of Lu Bu's appearance, most of them felt that they would be the one who captured or cut off Lu Bu's head alive, and then, with the hands of President Cao, he gave 200 gold, 500 silver, and the title of the vassal, gloriously chose to retire, and then lived the rest of his life in a decent manner...

If the rest of Lu Bu's army can move their money bags, then Lu Bu is undoubtedly a gold medal that can move.
Chapter completed!
