The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 52 Xu Rong Explains, Lu Bu Doesn't Believe It

"This general trusts you so much and penetrates deep into the enemy's belly, but you want to put me to death. What is your intention!"

The assassination raided the alliance army's granary, causing Lu Bu to lose [-] Bingzhou iron cavalry. He personally commanded these soldiers, and more importantly, he lost a general. Zhang Liao was left behind in order to intercept Zhao Yun. Beyond the granary.

So far, life and death are uncertain, and the culprit of all this points to Xu Rong and Li Jue!
If it weren't for the two of them communicating well with that thief Cao, how could they have known their movements in advance? !
But he was kept in the dark, played by these three people, how could this not make him not worry?
It should have been obvious that Xu Rong's generation had bad intentions with that Li Jue!

"Student Xu Rong, you dare to frame me, why don't you hurry up and die!"

Lu Bu's eyes seemed to be burning with flames. Fang Tian's painted halberd stood on the ground, and the rocky floor was smashed to pieces.

The soldiers who came to intercept him in the general's mansion were even stabbed to death by his sword, and for a while, the place was full of corpses.

The ground was covered with the corpses of more than a dozen people, all of whom were soldiers who had come to intercept Lu Bu, but now Lu Bu was full of murderous intent, and stabbed them to death without any explanation.

Inside the General's Mansion, a personal guard came to Xu Rong, and said with a pale face, "General Lu Bu brought people to the mansion to kill them, and they started killing when they met!"

Xu Rong's expression was not good either, how could he not hear Lu Bu's yelling so loudly.

This is how Lv Bu fled back from the defeat, presumably someone was secretly provoking their relationship, but he was able to irritate Lv Bu like this with just a few words, and even killed him in his own house.

Who exactly did this?
Even if Lv Bu is reckless, it is absolutely impossible for him to listen to a few words of the enemy. I am afraid that someone is deliberately setting him up behind the scenes.

Faced with such a scene, Xu Rong only had a slightly ugly face. After all, Lu Bu is just a fool, and he can understand it with a little explanation.

"Don't follow me, I can go alone."

After just a few steps, Xu Rong smelled blood and asked, facing the enraged Lu Bu, he stepped out without fear of being alone and bowed.

"General Lu, please calm down. If I framed you, I should have closed the gates of the city long ago so that the general cannot enter the city!"

"General Lu, don't listen to the enemy's slander."

Then Xu Rong got up indifferently, and looked at Lu Bu with deep eyes. Facing such a fierce general, he can't use force, he can only communicate with him.

"If I forgot to close the city gate, then I should also remember to escape?"

Hearing this, the enraged Lu Bu loosened Fang Tian's painting halberd slightly.

He glanced at Xu Rong, recalled everything he had experienced before, and his face turned pale. Although his every move was exposed, he had not encountered any hindrance in returning to Hulao Pass.

It seems that I was played by those two people!

"Zhao Zilong, Cao Ren!" Lu Bu clenched his teeth.

"General Lu, think about it carefully, when will I, Xu Rong, harm you?" Xu Rong continued.

Looking at Lu Bu's face, he was immediately relieved, at least he knew that he was stupid.

After a while, Lu Bu looked at Xu Rong again and asked aggressively, "Who is the person who exposed our whereabouts?"

The Bingzhou iron cavalry that I lost, as well as the general Zhang Liao, how can I forget it like this?
Faced with this problem, even Xu Rong fell silent. He and Li Jue are both Dong Zhuo's former subordinates. It is absolutely impossible to have two hearts. It is impossible to be meticulous.

Moreover, the gates of Hulaoguan are usually closed tightly, and there is absolutely no possibility for soldiers to go out, so how the news leaked out made Xu Rong unable to figure it out for a while.

"I don't know." Xu Rong shook his head.

But then, there was a flash of brilliance in his eyes. Although the secret work in Hulao Pass had been cleaned up, there was still an absolute who was not under their control, and it might get mixed into the secret work. That was Bingzhou who had just arrived at Hulao Pass. Iron riding.

No matter what Ren Xurong thought, it was impossible for him to think of the existence of the Tongque!
What made him even more unexpected was that those veterans with outstanding military exploits in the army were most likely the Bronze Sparrows arranged by Zhao Feng.

Xu Rong looked at Lu Bu and said, "Perhaps it's the spy work in General Lu's army."

Almost instantly, Lu Bu immediately rejected Xu Rong's idea.

"Impossible. The Bingzhou iron cavalry is an elite cavalry trained by me. It has been fighting with me for many years. How could there be meticulous work!"

Facing Lu Bu's resolute attitude, Xu Rong could only remain silent.

The leak of information means that it is no longer possible to consider a surprise attack, and more importantly, he can't find out where the information leaked from!

Without any clues, there is no chance for him to follow the clues.

Xu Rong waved his hand and told the trembling soldiers hiding inside to come out and drag away the corpses all over the ground.

"Pass down the order, and immediately set up a big banquet to impress General Lu!"

The princes' camp, Cao Cao's barracks.

Zhao Feng, who had been waiting in front of the tent for a long time, watched the two return, and at the same time heard a mechanical voice from the system.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the strongest selection task, charm +5!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host's charisma value reaching full value to obtain special attributes, and the success rate of persuading surrender is increased by 50%!"

Zhao Feng was overjoyed, and his charisma value had finally reached full value. Because of the system's prompt, he also learned that this battle was a complete victory!
But Cao Cao was not as calm as Zhao Feng, and immediately asked: "How is the result of this battle?"

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Cao Ren immediately walked up and said with a smile: "In this battle, all the ten thousand cavalry brought by Lu Bu were killed, and Zilong even captured a local general."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Cao, who looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Come on, Zilong!"

I saw Zhao Yun stepping forward, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, he said: "My lord, the general failed to capture Lu Bu alive, and Yun is willing to take the blame!"

Zhao Yun knew that Lu Bu was the most important thing in this operation, but it was a pity that he could not be retained.

Cao Cao patted Cao Ren unceremoniously.

"Look at others, and you will know that merit does not matter."

At the back, Zhao Feng smiled and shook his head and said: "Then Lu Bu is a peerless general, how can he be retained at will? It is expected that he can escape. What is Zilong's fault?"

Zhao Feng obviously didn't care about Lv Bu's going or staying, and he wasn't surprised. What made him pay more attention was the general captured alive that Cao Ren mentioned before. This is what he was interested in.

"I heard that Zilong captured one of Lu Bu's generals?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's eyes also showed a strange color, and he said quickly: "This general is extremely loyal and dedicated to his duties. Although he was defeated by me, I still admire him."

This made Zhao Feng even more enlightened, maybe he knew who the general Zhao Yun captured was.

"This person should be Zhang Wenyuan, one of Lu Bu's eight masters, right?"

Zhao Yun looked up at Zhao Feng, and said with admiration: "As expected of a military adviser, you can know who it is with just a few words."
