Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 320 Taishan Camp

Taishan County.

"Xuchang fell!?" When Lu Qian heard the news, his first reaction was that the sender had been bribed, and Xia Houyuan was still fighting against the Xuzhou army in Peijun. Why did Xuchang fall first?
"Dog thief, how dare you lie to me!?" He grabbed the messenger by the collar and lifted him up, Lu Qian cast a cold light in his eyes.

"General, what the humble official said is absolutely true, how dare you lie to the general?" The messenger was startled, and quickly defended loudly.

"The main force of the Xuzhou army is still fighting our army, so Lu Bu has the power to conquer the sky. How could he break through Xuchang so quickly?" Lu Qian shouted angrily.

Not to mention Cao Cao's ability, but with Xuchang's defense, taking [-] steps back, if Lu Bu hit the city of Xuchang, Xuchang would be fine for a year or two.

"Returning to the general, Lu Bu personally led the cavalry to the city of Xuchang a month ago. Sikong was forced not to leave the city. His son-in-law Chu Nan led [-] Jianghuai troops into Runan. Generals Xiahou Dun and Cai Yang died in battle. Runan fell, and Sikong Liu Bei was ordered to lead the army, but Lü Bu defeated him in the Heilu River, Zhang Fei died in battle, Mr. Yuan Chang was captured, Liu Bei and Guan Yu disappeared, and Lv Bu's army colluded with Zhang Xiu in Nanyang to attack Xuchang, Sikong had no choice but to send troops."

The messenger took a breath and continued: "Sikong fought with Lu Bu in the area of ​​Linying, unfortunately he was beheaded by Na Lu Bu in the army. The enemy spread rumors carefully, causing the people to lose their popularity. In the end, during the civil strife in the city, Nalu Bu invaded Xuchang, which made Xuchang fall! Your son Cao Pi ordered me to tell the generals quickly to defend the ground and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

Lu Qian's hand holding his neckline gradually relaxed, but his brows frowned even tighter.

The fall of Xuchang was unbelievable, but Cao Cao's death made him even more unacceptable. He looked at the messenger in a daze, sat down weakly, waved his hands and said, "Go down!"

"Here!" The messenger was terrified, and quickly bowed to leave.

"Come here!" Lu Qian shouted to the door after the messenger left.

"General!" Two personal guards came in and saluted Lu Qian.

"The two of you set off immediately and go to..." Lu Qian was about to give instructions, but saw a personal guard coming outside the tent and said: "General, General Xu Huang is asking to see you outside the tent."

"Xu Huang?" Lu Qian looked happy when he heard the words, got up and said, "Please!"

"General, General Xu is here with troops." The guard hesitated and said.

Lead troops?

Hearing this, Lu Qian frowned, stood up and said, "Put on the armor for me!"

The two personal guards who were called in by him quickly tied Lu Qian and put on armor, and then Lu Qian came outside the camp with soldiers and horses, and saw a group of troops outside the camp, the number was not too many, only about a thousand Looking at his aura, he should be an elite. Xu Huang is in front of the formation, and there is a young man beside him, but Lu Qian has never seen this person before. Judging from his position, Xu Huang is obviously inferior to the young man.

"Brother Gongming, what is the meaning of this?" Lu Qian led his troops out of the camp, looked at the soldiers behind Xu Huang, and asked with a frown.

"Xuchang has fallen, Duke Cao has died in battle, Marquis Wen welcomes the emperor, and is the orthodox of the world, I am..." Xu Huang looked at Lu Qian, sighed and said: "This time, I came here to lobby for your majesty. Let's fight again, so as not to lose our lives!"

Lu Qian paced back and forth on his horse, looked Xu Huang up and down and said, "So, brother Gongming is here to persuade someone to beg for mercy from the enemy just like you?"

Chu Nan rode his horse to Xu Huang's side, smiled at Lu Qian, "General Zike's words are wrong. They are all Han officials. Why do you say that you are an enemy? Does the general hate the court?"

Lu Qian frowned and looked at Chu Nan, "Who are you?"

"Get down, Chu Nan!" Chu Nan clasped his fists and laughed.

Lu Qian guarded Mount Tai all the year round, so he had heard the name of Chu Nan, and said with a smile, "Who am I? It turns out that I am the son-in-law of the Lu family. What qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

"First of all, I'm marrying my wife as a matchmaker, and I didn't marry into his family." Chu Nan was also not angry: "Furthermore, in terms of status, I now control the two counties of Jianghuai, and the general is just a captain. In terms of ability, the general Sweeping the Yellow Turban may make the general proud, but I participated in the pacification of Guangling and defeated Yuan Shu. If the general said that this is the power of my lord, it is not worth mentioning. I also pacified Jianghuai and captured Runan alone. By the way, Xiahou Dun, Cai The two Yang generals, General Zi Ke, should be no strangers."

Looking at Lu Qian's downcast face, Chu Nan smiled and said, "I killed him. I also offered advice to kill Cao Gong and recruit Nanyang soldiers to defeat Xuchang. If these generals have done one thing, I will admit that I am not qualified to fight with the generals." Speaking, if not, I really don't know where the general's confidence comes from?"

"You lip-wagging man, Gong Ming, behind you should be the lieutenant of our army, why do you submit to such a villain?" Lu Qian snorted coldly, looked at Xu Huang and said, "The heroic spirit of the lord is not far away, since this person is a murderer. The lord is fierce, how can he be so presumptuous? Don't kill him!"

Xu Huang didn't move, he frowned at Lu Qian and said, "Zi Ke, Duke Cao has already been defeated..."

"Shut up!" Lu Qian scolded angrily: "The lord has treated you well, but now that the lord is killed, you have turned to the enemy, a dignified man, but begged for mercy from the enemy, I, Lu Qian, a good man, how could I be so shameless as you?" Only as a friend..."

"It's you who should shut up!" The smile on Chu Nan's face suddenly disappeared, his face turned cold, and he exhaled and opened his voice. Under the blessing of the mighty force of the army, Feng Zimi suppressed Lu Qian's voice.

"We are friends, but we only care about our own reputation and don't care about the life and death of old friends. Gongming's family members are all in Xuchang, and the families of more than a thousand soldiers are also in Xuchang. If I die here, have you ever thought about what will happen to their families?" Chu Nan said coldly : "The general claims to be loyal, but he doesn't know whether the general is loyal to the court or Cao Cao? If you are loyal to the court, I am the envoy of the Son of Heaven. If you instigate the generals of the Han family to kill the envoys of the Han family, how can you be loyal? If you are loyal to the court, Cao Cao You are a thief who bullies the Han, and if you follow a thief, how can you talk about loyalty?"

"As for loyalty, disregarding the life and death of old friends and family members, just to fulfill one's ridiculous reputation, is this also called righteousness?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Qian with a smile and said: "An unfaithful person who laughs at others with loyalty, is this How did you say such shameless words!?"

Hearing this, Lu Qian looked at Chu Nan with serious eyes: "Shameless villain, if I kill you, do you really think these thousand people can stop me?"

"You can give it a try." Chu Nan sneered and rode his horse back a few steps: "I'm right here, the general can come and kill me!"

Lu Qian: "..."

What made him speechless was not only that Chu Nan retreated silently under such a righteous rhetoric, but more importantly, Xu Huang raised his big axe, and the army formation immediately rose.

Lu Qian looked at this scene and laughed angrily: "It seems that if I don't surrender, Gong Ming will definitely fight me today?"

"Correct me!" Chu Nan said from the side: "It's surrender to the imperial court, not surrender."

"The general situation is over, Zike, all the soldiers have surrendered this way, so don't make mistakes." Xu Huang looked at Lu Qian and sighed.

"I was supported by the lord, so I have the position I have today..." Lu Qian snorted coldly, and was about to say something about Cao Cao's kindness to him, but was interrupted by Chu Nan.

Chu Nan said loudly: "General, have you ever thought about it, if the general doesn't have all the skills, will Mr. Cao still use you?"

"Shut up, Zhu Zi, I've tolerated you for a long time!" Lu Qian was furious, where did this man come from so many fallacies?

"Discuss and discuss. As a general, don't be impetuous. The general is so irritable, it's not the bearing of a general." Chu Nan laughed.

Lu Qian snorted and suppressed the anger in his heart. He didn't know why he was so irritable today. Maybe it was because of Cao Cao's death, or maybe this person was too indebted.

The emotions that had been brewing were interrupted at this moment. When he wanted to say something again, he lost the anger he had just now. Lu Qian glared at Chu Nan fiercely, holding a breath in his chest, but he didn't know how to vent it. He glared at Xu Huang and said: "Today I will kill this son. If Gong Ming still remembers the kindness of the old master, don't stop me!"

After finishing speaking, without further ado, he raised his gun and charged at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan looked at him with a smile, but saw Xu Huang galloping out on his horse and stopped Lu Qian with an axe.

"It seems that you and I are neither enemies nor friends today!" Lu Qian snorted coldly, and was no longer polite, and stabbed Xu Huang backhanded.

Xu Huang silently parried for a few times, then sighed, the Xuanhua ax trembled, and each ax struck out a strike. Seeing this, Lu Qian's face changed drastically, and he quickly turned sideways to avoid it.

"Kill!" Xu Huang ignored him, and headed towards Lu Qian's barracks without saying a word.

Those soldiers who had left Lu Qian's camp didn't know why, so they saw Xu Huang coming to kill him with an axe, and they were killed all over the place in an instant.

Seeing this, Lu Qian's eyes were red with anger, and he yelled, "Xu Gongming!"

He didn't expect that Xu Huang would really do it directly, and with a roar, he wanted to go back to rescue him. Suddenly, several spider threads shot towards him. Stick to it, shout angrily, and the spider silk breaks in response to the turbulent air flow!

When he looked up, he saw four huge spiders surrounding him, and there were densely packed flying ants and praying mantises flying in the air, making the surrounding water impenetrable.

Chu Nan rode his horse to the rear of the insect army, looked at Lu Qian and said with a smile: "General, this battlefield is not a place where affection is important!"

Given Lu Qian's loyalty to Cao Cao, it was obviously impossible to persuade him to surrender at this time. It was Chu Nan who used his emotional powers to provoke Lu Qian's anger and make him act emotionally. He was singled out to challenge Xu Huang.

According to Xu Huang, Lu Qian was good at commanding troops, running the army, and internal affairs, and his martial arts skills could only be considered good, but in terms of martial arts, he was probably at the same level as Hou Cheng under Lu Bu's tent in the past.

With Chu Nan's current strength, the opponent can deal with it without the help of the army, so at the beginning, Chu Nan and Xu Huang's plan was that Xu Huang waited for an opportunity to attack his army, and Chu Nan was responsible for capturing this person alive.

Lu Qian yelled angrily, and wanted to gallop his horse to kill Chu Nan, but just as he set off, the horse hissed and fell to the ground. Lu Qian turned over and jumped off the horse. When he looked down, he saw something. At that moment, dense ants were clinging to the horse, and the four legs of the horse had turned into white bones at this moment.

Not caring about the death of Ai Ma, Lu Qian let out a furious roar, his whole body overflowing with energy, crushing all the ants that approached him, and heading straight for Chu Nan.

On Chu Nan's shoulders, demon ants and demon mantises flew out. One was powerful and the other was as fast as lightning, attacking Lu Qian together.

Lu Qian didn't expect that this seemingly weak scribe would have so many tricks. While shouting angrily, it was difficult to break through the siege of two monsters for a while, and there were four giant ghost-backed spiders surrounding the four directions, spewing out spider silk from time to time, disturbing He moves.

In less than a moment, he was a little overwhelmed. He staggered, his legs were bound by the spider silk, and he wanted to use his energy to break it. .

When he was about to struggle again, the monster ant had already jumped up and held his hands, and lifted him up vigorously. The ghost-back spider took the opportunity to shoot silk threads to bind him, and then circled around him, transforming into a human form in an instant. giant cocoon.

Lu Qian frantically twisted his body to break free from the entanglement of the spider web, but facing this level of entanglement, not to mention him, even Xu Huang might not be able to break free under this situation, he could only act like a giant Silkworms generally wriggle around.

"Take it!"

Glancing at the defeated Lu Qian camp, Chu Nan ignored the defeated soldiers and ordered Lu Qian to be captured. The purpose of this trip has been achieved. The next step is to take Taishan County. It is of great strategic significance to become the front station to compete with Yuan Shao in the future!
