Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 142 Outside Puyang City, the Eve of the Great War

Lü Bu was furious and wanted to lead his army to destroy Chen Liu himself.

The reason why he is so angry is that his family members are all in Puyang City at this moment!

However, Chen Gong beside him persuaded: "Marquis Wen calm down, the most important thing for us now is to recapture Puyang, otherwise, once Cao Cao returns to the army, our army will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy."

Lu Bu was already injured, and coupled with his worries about his family, a mouthful of dark red blood spewed out of his mouth.

"Marquis Wen!"

"Marquis Wen, is your injury okay?"

Seeing this, Chen Gong quickly comforted him: "Don't worry about Marquis Wen, just wait for me to write a letter with the gentry in the city, and it will surely keep Marquis Wen's family safe!"

When Lu Bu heard this, the depression in his heart finally dissipated, he held Chen Gong's hand with great joy, and said, "Gongtai."

Chen Gong nodded at Lu Bu, signaling him to relax,

Then Chen Gong wanted to repeat the old trick, trying to find helpers from the inside while writing letters to the gentry in Puyang City.

But what Chen Gong never expected was that the streets and alleys of Puyang City were all under the control of Cao Jun at this moment.

Everyone should have not forgotten Man Chong's nickname, he is a "cool official"!

Since Yu Jin and Man Chong occupied Puyang City,
Man Chong resisted all opinions and imposed military martial law on Puyang City, with three steps, one post and five steps and one sentry, making Puyang City even stricter than the imperial palace!
Although some gentry and gentry wanted to resist at the beginning,
But after Man Chong killed several waves of troublemakers,
They also finally knew that there was a stunned young man in Puyang City, the king of Hades who couldn't be provoked.
Chen Gong's letter was intercepted as soon as he entered the city,
Originally, Man Chong was going to do something about it, but unfortunately Chen Gong was not a vegetarian, so he saw through the flaws in the reply letter at a glance.

There are no helpers in the city, and the previous battle was hurriedly evacuated.

Not to mention the siege equipment, even most of the food and supplies were lost.

The city wall of Puyang City has been heightened and reinforced by Xiahou Dun desperately in the past two years, and it has now reached a height of nearly ten meters.

Looking at the nearly ten-meter-high city wall,

Even Lu Bu and Chen Gong can only look at the city and sigh,
In the end, he had no choice but to retreat ten miles outside the city and set up camp, and began to rush to make siege equipment overnight.

But Lu Yan, who is well aware of Lu Bu's disaster, will not give Lu Bu time to prepare safely.

He, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Xia Houlan only rested in Juancheng for a few hours before leading [-] soldiers and traveling all day and night. On the second day after Lu Bujun arrived at Puyang City, he also arrived outside Puyang City.

Lu Bu, who was drinking wine alone in the tent,
After learning from the news reported by the spies that Lu Yan led the army to come, he hurriedly summoned Chen Gong and all the generals and said:
"The ghost of Lu Yan is still there, and he is unwilling to give our army a chance to breathe. Now they are camping less than twenty miles away from us. What can I do?"

When Chen Gong heard the words, he knew that nothing could be done.

Lu Yan's army is only a small part of Chen Gong's worries,
What scares Chen Gong the most is the tens of thousands of troops led by Boss Cao himself.

He sighed, walked to the center of the military tent, folded his hands and said to Lu Bu:
"Chen Liu and Lu Yan were able to defeat Yuan Shu alone. I should have paid more attention to him long ago. This failure is all due to my poor planning. Please punish Wen Hou!"

"Without my master's plan, I, Lu Bu, might not even be able to get out of Chang'an.

Can't do it here,
The big deal is to change the place, it's just me"

Lu Bu was still very sober at this time, he knew that Chen Gong was his greatest reliance, and he must not let him renounce.

Chen Gong was still very satisfied with Lu Bu's attitude, but Lu Bu paid too much attention to his family, which made it difficult for him to say what he said next.

Seeing some hesitation on Chen Gong's face, Lu Bu couldn't help saying: "Diao Chan and Ling Qi are both in Puyang. Even if I go alone, I must save them, I must save them!"

Lu Bu's main wife is the Yan family, and Diao Chan is just his concubine.Lu Lingqi is Lu Bu's daughter, the one who will be used by Lu Bu to work with Yuan Shu in the future.
Not to mention how Lu Bu treats his lord or adoptive father, he is really impeccable towards his family.

Compared with Lu Bu's fancy to his family, Liu Bei, who has abandoned his family many times, is often criticized by his family.

This kind of thing is really hard to say, whether it is good or not, I am afraid that readers will be pressed to the ground and beat.

Lu Bu insisted on saving his family, but Chen Gong and others had no choice but to urge the progress of the manufacturing of siege equipment many times, preparing to launch a fierce attack on Puyang at dawn the next day.

night is deep,
Under the bright starry sky,

Lu Bu and Chen Gong stood on the simple sentry tower, looking at Puyang City from afar.

"Sir, do you think I have a chance of winning if I attack Cao Jun's camp tonight?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong beside him softly.

Chen Gong heard the words, shook his head and smiled wryly:

"Then Lu Yan can compete with you, Marquis Wen, besides, he has Zhao Zilong and Guo Fengxiao beside him."

"Why do Cao Cao have so many capable men and strange men?"

"Perhaps, he is really favored by heaven."

Lu Bu looked back at Chen Gong, he really wanted to ask, "Why did you leave Cao Cao and follow me?"

But thinking that this might be the past that Chen Gong didn't want to mention, Lu Bu pushed down this thought again.

However, Chen Gong had already seen Lu Bu's thoughts. The main reason was that Lu Bu had no city, and all his thoughts were written on his face.

"Cao Cao's killing of Lu Boshe's family was just an introduction, but the truth is that I disagree with Cao Cao's ideas."

Chen Gong took the initiative to talk about the real reason why he left Cao Cao, and Lu Bu slightly turned his tall body to the side, pretending to be listening attentively.

"To put it simply, Cao Cao will not take into account the interests of the family.

And as one of the representatives of the aristocratic family, I am in a position of natural hostility with him in terms of standpoint. "

Isn't Cao Cao himself from a big family?Why not take into account the interests of the family?Lu Bu didn't quite understand what he heard.

"Since Cao Cao issued the order of seeking talents based on talents,
Chenliu County implemented the household registration reform again,
All these piles, overtly and secretly, are actually breaking the roots of the aristocratic family! "

"."

Lu Bu still couldn't understand, but it didn't hinder his communication with Chen Gong.
"Anyway, I don't understand. If we have our own territory in the future, then all these things will be left to you, sir."

Isn't that what Chen Gong likes about Lu Bu?

"Marquis Wen Fengxian, if you treat me with sincerity, I will never leave you!"

"Tomorrow, I will act as the vanguard. If we really can't save them, then we will withdraw."

When Lu Bu uttered the hottest sentence, his voice was already visibly trembling.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in surprise. Judging from his pale fists and lips that had been bitten and bleeding, Lu Bu had really made up his mind.

"In any case, tomorrow we will try our best."

After seeing Lu Bu's changes, Chen Gong felt a little relieved in his heart, and comforted him:

"But you don't have to worry too much, Marquis Wen.

Even if the family members cannot be rescued, Cao Cao will never do anything to them.

Notice,

The reason why Cao Mengde sent troops to Xuzhou was to avenge Tao Qian's murder of his father! "
