The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 220 Qingzhou City is in jeopardy, Lu Bu is in a desperate situation
Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "That's right, Pi'er has reached the age where he can train and take responsibility, so let him be stationed in Xuchang. However, Pi'er is young after all, and Xuchang has a lot to rely on Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu bowed his hands and saluted, "Here."

Xun Yu's face was expressionless at this moment, and it was difficult for others to know what was going on in his heart at the moment. He already had a serious face, and the city was very deep, so he never showed any emotions easily.

……

In December, Cao Cao personally led the troops from Xuchang to go northward, deployed defenses in Guandu, Baima, Yanjin and other places, and set up camps.

With this battle, it is even necessary to start a war with Yuan Shao in advance.

On the other side, under the leadership of Xi Yu, people and soldiers from all over the country continued to build grain stations along the marching route.

So far, the entire Yanzhou North, Xuzhou North, Qingzhou, and parts of Jizhou have entered a very tense war!
At this time, in Beihai City, Qingzhou, Lu Bu's mansion.

A lady who was as beautiful as heaven and full of charm personally put on a long robe for Lu Bu, and said softly, "General, it's so cold and bitter, who are you going to fight against?"

"My concubine doesn't know something, it's Xi Yu who deceived me too much!" Lu Bu said angrily.

"General, but I heard that Mr. Xi..." The woman next to Lu Bu had a face full of embarrassment, an enchanting figure, and her gestures were natural and charming.

"General, from my point of view, I heard that Mr. Xi is very benevolent and not a vicious person. Why don't you consider joining forces with him..." the beautiful woman said softly.

"Diao Chan! What do you mean by that? Could it be that you asked me to surrender to him?!"

Lu Bu's eyes were bloodshot, staring at his concubine in disbelief.

The wife of Lu Bu's main house was originally from the Yan family, and the two had a daughter named Lu Lingqi, but now Lu Bu dotes on his concubine Diaochan the most.

But Lu Bu never expected that his favorite concubine seemed to be trying to persuade him to surrender to Xi Yu, which made Lu Bu very annoyed.

Diao Chan was not afraid of Lu Bu, and said, "General...my concubine is always restless when I see you, I can't sleep all night, and I always talk about Mr. Xi, so I naturally want to solve the general's problems."

"However, I am a girl, so I don't know how to help the general, but the master of this drama, as far as I know, if the general takes the initiative to show his favor and make a marriage with him, maybe peace can be exchanged."

"It's just nonsense, a woman's opinion!"

After saying that, Lu Bu immediately straightened his armor, his majestic and mighty body suddenly stood upright, and glanced at Diaochan in a very condescending posture.

For some reason, at this moment Lu Bu suddenly felt a sense of irritability, and he really didn't want to talk to Diao Chan anymore.

In recent months, Lu Bu has been worried about Xuzhou's affairs. He and Diao Chan haven't slept in the same bed for several months, and they only have the name of husband and wife with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu originally thought that relying on the richness of Qingzhou, he would surely be able to go south to capture Xuzhou and defeat Xi Yu.

What he didn't expect was that now Xuzhou Xiyu dared to attack Qingzhou on his own initiative.

But Lu Bu knew very well that Xuzhou is now well-developed in commerce and full of talents. Moreover, he is proud of the development of commerce and the abundance of talents. Xuzhou now has a strong army and sufficient food and grass. No one dares to challenge Xuzhou easily.

Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan, and said with a faint smile, "Ha ha... Diao Chan..."

"I heard that Xi Yu has five wives and concubines, all of whom are beautiful and beautiful. From this point of view, Xi Yu probably likes beautiful women the most."

Lu Bu stared at Diao Chan, and laughed in a low voice, "Diao Chan, you have the face of a fish and a wild goose, and you have a graceful figure. Xi Yu will definitely like it. I will give you to Xi Yu, how about it?"

Diao Chan was so frightened that her face paled, she immediately knelt on the ground, bit her lip, and was even shocked and humiliated in her heart, "General...the concubine's advice is to help you solve your problems, why did the general say such words that hurt me? !"

Lu Bu suddenly said coldly, "Hehehe...you think I'm afraid of Xi Yu?"

After all, Lu Bu got up and picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd from the utensil rack in the inner room, and said indifferently, "Though Xiahou Dun is so invincible, I will kill him to the point of throwing away his helmet and armor!"

"Now that Xi Yu is coming to seek death, how can I not kill him! I will definitely cut off Xi Yu's head, and let you know that a mere Xi Yu is nothing, I have never been afraid of him!"

After saying that, Lu Bu strode outside.

Diao Chan really had no choice but to frown against Lu Bu.

At this moment, Diao Chan's pink dress fluttered with the wind, and the ribbons on her shoulders fluttered with the wind, her eyes were full of worry.

"Have you ever thought about it, General, if you kill Mr. Xi, it will be like killing the sages of the world. Not only will Cao Cao not let you go, but even those Confucianists will hate you..."

Diao Chan had seen Xi Yu's portrait before, and she felt that Xi Yu was a very kind and honest person.

Not long ago, Xi Yu even saved millions of people in Jizhou at least at the expense of his own safety.

Because of this, even if Xi Yu abolished Confucianism and did something deviant, the common people would understand and support Mr. Xi Yu Xi, and this would be effective...

The end of the year is approaching, but this year, due to the raging wars, there must be no dance of the dragon and fish. Instead, you should have the heart to die in battle.

At this time, Cao Cao led troops to attack the west of Qingzhou, and Xi Yu attacked the southern part of Qingzhou. Soon, Lu Bu was attacked by Cao Cao and Xi Yu on both sides, and it was really difficult to resist.

However, Qingzhou's natural moat against Jizhou was easily taken down by Cao Ren's leopard cavalry, and then they guarded it, becoming a natural line of defense for Cao Cao.

If Yuan Tanru hadn't run fast, he might have lost his life already.

Within a month, Xi Yu's white cavalry and black cavalry were killing wildly near Beihai.

Whether it was rushing to kill the enemy in the chaotic battle, or raiding late at night, they were invincible. The soldiers under Lu Bu's command did not dare to set up camp outside the city. Soon, Lu Bu lost many cities.

Moreover, all the cities were seized for almost the same reason: not daring to wander outside!

The camp cannot leave the city.

Like a shrinking tortoise, it hides in the city and dare not go out.

However, the city is not a place they can stick to.

After the fighting lasted until the second month, a large number of catapults were transported to the frontline battlefield on Xi Yu's side.

In this way, Lu Bu and his soldiers were very annoyed.

If you go out of the camp, you will be hunted mercilessly, and if you hide in the city, you will be ruthlessly bombed by catapults.

This situation lasted for less than a month, and the most powerful camp under Lu Bu's command, as well as himself, were close to being driven crazy. "

Soon, affected by this incident, Lu Bu's temperament changed drastically!

He originally thought that Xi Yu would put on armor and go into battle in person, but who would have thought that Xi Yu was not on the battlefield at all.

Since the start of the war, Xi Yu has been sitting in the rear, and he has fought fiercely with Zhao Zilong, Dian Wei and others on the battlefield several times.

In this way, when the whole battle situation began in spring, Lu Bu could only retreat to the land of Beihai, and guard in Beihai Kingdom, Pingshou City.

"It's really not easy for me..."

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and then took a sip of wine.

Now, among the surrounding cities, only Pingshou City still belongs to him after that, and the rest of the territories have all passed the Chinese New Year!

They are celebrating Chinese New Year! !

Xi Yu's soldiers are making dumplings for the common people in order to win over the homeless refugees and buy people's hearts!
The Qingzhou soldiers under Xi Yu's command were originally Qingzhou locals, and Xi Yu ordered his Qingzhou soldiers to talk to the people. In addition, Xi Yu's reputation is now outside, and wherever he goes, he is invincible!
"It's a bastard, it's extremely hateful!!"

Lu Bu was very annoyed and extremely disappointed.

He kept beating the copybook hard, and when it was really uncomfortable, Lu Bu swung it even harder, sweeping all the scrolls and maps on the copybook to the ground!

Now, in front of Lu Bu, only Gao Shun and Kong Rong, who bowed his head and sighed, remained.

"General..."

Diao Chan grabbed Lu Bu and gave him a gentle back, feeling very worried about him.

"Get out of here!"

Lu Bu didn't appreciate it at all, he threw away Diao Chan and scolded loudly.

At this moment, Lu Bu was very disappointed. He thought back on these years, but he still didn't understand why he was in such a state.

Lv Bu was already irritable and lost, and when he heard Kong Rong sighing, Lv Bu stood up suddenly, rushed to Kong Rong, grabbed the hem of his clothes fiercely, and said coldly, "Kong Rong, I have ordered you to let the nobles belong to you. Me, why are you so slow to contribute?!"

"I treat you well, why do you want to kill me?!" Lu Bu wished he could kill Kong Rong.

"General, general..."

Diao Chan and Gao Shun saw that Lv Bu had murderous intent, so they immediately stepped forward to stop Lv Bu.

This matter had little to do with Kong Rong. Although he was a celebrity, the gentry did not want to assist Lu Bu. Kong Rong alone could not convince the gentry.

It is true that Lu Bu is too cruel, and has been notorious since Yanzhou.

This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Kong Rong. Although he is a celebrity, he can't persuade all the nobles by himself. Those people are unwilling to assist Lu Bu.

Now, with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu joining forces, the two of them are like dogs of a feather.

If Yuan Shu didn't proclaim himself emperor and attacked back and forth, Yanzhou would have a chance to win it.

But now...

But it was a complete failure!
Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu in front of her, and was heartbroken. Seeing that there was no outsider here, she persuaded, "General, it's better to surrender Kaesong to Master Xi!"

"With Master Xi's reputation as a benevolent and righteous gentleman, I will definitely not embarrass you. With the might of a general, I will definitely be able to become an official and worship general under Master Xi's command, and make great achievements. Why worry about no glory and wealth?"

"Snapped!"

Lu Bu slapped Diao Chan hard with his backhand.

Diao Chan was stunned.

"Bad concubine! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Could it be that you have empathized with that bastard Xi Yu?! Open your mouth and shut your mouth, Mr. Xi..."

"I can't wait to kill you immediately!"

Lu Bu's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Diao Chan viciously, his eyes were very cold-blooded, scaring Diao Chan to the point of horror.

Since Dong Zhuo came back, Diao Chan has never seen Lv Bu so terrifying and terrible

Before this, no matter what she did, even if the ministers talked about her wrongly, Lu Bu had always cared for her in every possible way, and had never vented his anger on her so viciously now.

But now...

Seeing this, Gao Shun said in a deep voice, "General, you are in a hurry, you are possessed!"

Now only Gao Shun can talk about Lu Bu.

Diao Chan fell to the ground, raised her head in pain, the only hope left in her heart for Lu Bu gradually faded away.

Not only Diao Chan, but also Kong Rong, who was still in shock, was extremely disappointed at this time, and just wanted to escape from Lu Bu.

However, he really couldn't think of any safe way to escape, because his family and clan were still in Beihai. When he was the prefect of Beihai, he never arranged for his family and clan to evacuate because he cared about the people.

In this way, once Kong Rong wanted to flee with his family and clan, he would not be able to get rid of Lu Bu's pursuit.

"General, now...we have almost no chance of winning, but if you still want to continue your journey to supremacy, the only way is..."

There was really no other way, so Kong Rong had no choice but to offer another plan to Lu Bu.

This strategy is also a desperate move.

Hearing this, Lu Bu, who was almost in despair, immediately had a glint of hope in his eyes, "Sir, please tell me, please save me between life and death!"

"Please teach me sir!"

Seeing that Kong Rong had another plan, Lu Bu's tone suddenly softened a lot. Only then did he notice that his emotions were too extreme just now, which frightened Diao Chan and Kong Rong.

Kong Rong let out a long sigh and said after a long time, "General..."

"For the current plan, you can lead a team of soldiers to break through the western border with all your strength, take back the two natural dangers of the Yellow River and Jishui, and then build warships to welcome Yuan Shao into the country, and unite with them to resist the soldiers of Xuzhou!"

"From my point of view, if the general surrenders to Xi Yu, it may be possible to keep the Qingzhou stable, but you, the general, can't do much."

"Or, after the general breaks out, it is better to directly...belong to Yuan Shao sincerely. With the general's talent, Yuan Shao will definitely take you under his command."

Hearing Kong Rong's strategy, Lu Bu's mood was very wavering.

He slowly sat on the steps in a daze, his eyes were very empty, Lu Bu only felt that his mind was in a mess.

Kong Rong's strategy, in the final analysis, is not much different from Diao Chan's intention, which is to let him surrender...

Lu Bu couldn't help but think of all the past events.

Over the years, he traveled to many places, surviving, first he went to Yuan Shao from Chang'an, then Zhang Yang, and then he followed the plan of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, and wanted to invade Yanzhou, but failed in the end...

Later, he wanted to join Yuan Shu, who would have thought that Yuan Shu would become emperor, but in desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to sever Qingzhou...

But in this land of Qingzhou, it is good to defend Jizhou. If you want to defend Qingzhou and Yanzhou, it will be very difficult.

Lv Bu never expected that now Kong Rong persuaded him to go to Yuan Shao again.

For some reason, thinking of this, Lu Bu only felt that he was like a bereaved dog, several times worse than Liu Bei...

Lu Bu felt very unwilling: Thinking of me, Lu Bu, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and riding a red rabbit horse, I should be... the invincible God of War!
However, he ended up being chased around like this today, like a mouse crossing the street!
"Impossible! Even if I die in battle, I will never live under anyone again!"

Lu Bu suddenly said coldly.

However, there are less than 9000 soldiers and horses left in Bingzhou, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are recruited from Qingzhou, but the money for these recruits is all snatched from the gentry and merchants. Now, all the gentry and merchants are not willing to support Lu Bu.

This is the most tragic thing for Lu Bu.

Kong Rong looked at Lu Bu with a blank expression and said, "Do you really want to fight?"

"That's natural, I must charge again!!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth with hatred at this time, "Now that Cao Cao is in the west, I will avoid Xi Yu first. There are many generals around Xi Yu, so Cao Cao must be lacking. In this way, I just need to rush into Cao Cao's base camp and capture him alive. Threatening Xi Yu, until then, everything will be unknown!"

"Now, this is my only chance to stand up!"

……

In Qingzhou, it was expected that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses would not dare to leave the city at this time, so Xi Yu built his camp in a barren hill.

This place is not far from Pingshou City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the only thing to beware of is the snow on the mountain, once the snow rolls down, it will block the marching road.

After the camp was established, Xi Yu ordered the soldiers to light a fire on the hillside, and the snow gradually melted into snow water.

Xi Yu ordered people to build a reservoir to store the melted snow water.

In this way, not only to prevent snow avalanches, but also to prevent fires with snow water.

After everything was properly arranged, Xi Yu walked out of the barracks, followed by Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu.

At this time, Cao Ang was guarding Xuzhou, and Xi Yu had no worries.

Xi Yu brought the three of them to Qianfeng camp. An hour ago, Huang Zhong had rushed back with a topographic map near Pingshou City.

Hearing that Xi Yu was coming, Huang Zhong immediately walked out of the camp to welcome Xi Yu and the others.

At this time, Huang Zhong was wearing a white mink fur. He had broad shoulders and a fat waist, so he looked very majestic and mighty.

Huang Zhong said confidently, "My lord, I have made a thorough investigation, and now only [-] troops are needed to capture Pingshou City!"

Xi Yu smiled lightly, and said, "It is feasible to attack by force, but it would be better to attack after Lu Bu leaves the city to face the battle."

While speaking, Xi Yu led the crowd to gallop on horseback to a place with a wide view on the top of the mountain, overlooking Pingshou City.

From a distance, Pingshou City and Shouchun City are much smaller.

Xi Yu was thinking in his heart: If we use catapults to bomb for several days and nights, or use flint, kerosene burning and other offensive methods, Pingshou City will definitely be broken.

Now, what Xi Yu is most concerned about is whether or not Lu Bu dares to leave the city for a decisive battle!

From Xi Yu's point of view, if Lu Bu dared not leave the city for a decisive battle, he could only flee and join Yuan Shao.

But Cao Cao had already personally led troops to guard the road leading to Yuan Shao, and it was basically impossible for Lu Bu to defect to Yuan Shao.

"Pingshou City must be captured!" Xi Yu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were slightly moved, "Perhaps we can wait for Lu Bu to surrender voluntarily. Although this man has no faith at all, he is a good fighter..."

"You don't have to wait for Lu Bu to surrender..." Xi Yu looked at Pingshou City with a solemn expression, "Do you know Diao Chan?"

"Diaochan?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia looked at each other, deeply feeling that there was something in Xi Yu's words.

"Who is this person?" Zhuge Liang was very puzzled.

"I've heard a little bit about it. I heard that this person is..."

Guo Jia did know something about Diao Chan, but it was inconvenient to say it out.

In order to get rid of Dong Zhuo, Diao Chan was used as a bait and had to sacrifice her life. Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a very strong sense of tragedy...

Xi Yu suddenly said in a deep voice, "You know that Diao Chan is the beautiful wife that so many men dream of."

"Lv Bu treats her badly. He often beats and scolds her. When Pingshou City is captured, I must take a good look at this stunningly beautiful wife... Even if I become a plumber, a domestic worker or a gardener, I will go Take a look at that Diao Chan!"
