Chapter 280
After pondering for a moment, Chen Gong said, "Beihai!"

"Huh?" Lu Bu frowned, and said, "Why did you go to Beihai County? As far as I know, Beihai is very close to here, but it is located in Qingzhou, and it is the land of Mengde. He has many soldiers. Horse."

Chen Gong explained: "Fengxian, Beihai is indeed within the territory of Qingzhou. If we go there, although we will encounter Cao Cao, compared with other princes, I think we are more confident in facing Cao Cao, not to mention that they can fight with Cao Cao." He lived in peace and fought against Yuan Shao together."

Zhang Liao and the others nodded. This is indeed very reasonable.

Lu Bu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will follow Mr. Wentai's suggestion."

"Follow the wise men first." Chen Gong clasped his fists and said.

"Report!" At this moment a soldier came in and said, "My lord, the spies just reported that Yuan Shujun has already crossed the river."

"Oh? It came pretty fast." Zhang Liao smiled and said to Chen Gong, "Mr. Wentai, let's get ready to go."

Chen Gong also showed a bright smile and said, "I think so too."

Two soldiers and horses gathered at one place and came towards Yuan Shu mightily.

Thirty miles away from the city, Ji Ling stopped and looked at the city.

"Brother, why didn't you act?" the male general beside Ji Ling couldn't help asking.

The man is about forty years old, with a thin build, dark skin and rough hands.

Ji Ling looked at the barracks in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes.

This is the place occupied by Lu Bu and also his tomb.

"Hehe..." Ji Ling snorted coldly: "This is the place where I conquered Lu Bu, but now it is the place where Lu Bu is buried."

After saying this, Ji Ling suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed: "Heaven is jealous of talents, God, I will definitely kill Lu Bu and become famous forever!"

"Brother, you..." The man was stunned.

"I remember you once said that you never betrayed me. What you said came from the bottom of your heart." Ji Ling looked at Gao Tian.

"Brother, these are all from the bottom of my heart..." Gao Tian was anxious, and quickly argued: "Brother, have you forgotten that we brothers are as close as brothers."

"I remember!" Ji Ling stared at Gao Tian with a cold light in his eyes, "Gao Tian, ​​do you want to say that you and I have a strong relationship and won't harm me!"

Takata lowered his head and didn't speak, which was his acquiescence.

"Hehe, do you think I'm a three-year-old child!" Ji Ling roared, "Gaotian, do you really think I don't know? After I joined the lord, you immediately joined Yuan Shao and told me that you had reached an agreement with Yuan Shao. I signed the agreement and asked me to betray my lord and vote for Yuan Shao!"

Gao Tian's face turned pale when he heard this.

"Tell me, should I listen to you?" Ji Ling was furious, and said bitterly: "I should have killed you in the first place, why did you do that! Do you know what this means?"

"I..." Gao Tian lowered his head, and he was also very upset. In order to seize power, he actually betrayed Yuan Shao, and now he wants to betray Yuan Shu again, which made him very guilty and regretful.

"Brother, listen to my explanation..." Gao Tian raised his head and was about to speak.

"No need to explain."

Ji Ling shook his head and said, "No amount of explanation is futile. I was ruined in your hands. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come here. It's all your fault, you deserve to die."

Gao Tian thumped in his heart, knowing that Ji Ling had completely lost control, he quickly dissuaded him: "Brother, I didn't mean to harm you, it was Yuan Shu who forced me, otherwise I would never dare to betray my brother, brother, please forgive me."

"Now I know it's time to beg for mercy, it's too late!" Ji Ling yelled angrily, drew his sword and chopped off Gao Tian's head, then picked up another sword, dismembered Gao Tian's body, and blood flowed all over the floor.

"Come here, send Gaotian's head to Shouchun, and order the whole army to prepare for battle." Ji Ling ordered.

"No." The lieutenant led the order and left.

……

Soon after, Yuan Shu received an envoy sent by Yuan Shao.The envoy relayed Yuan Shao's words again, and Yuan Shu's face suddenly changed.

"This Yuan Shao dared to threaten me and seek death. Order the whole army to attack Jizhou immediately. Anyone who retreats will be punished as collaborating with the enemy and punish the nine clans!" Yuan Shu was furious, and immediately led his troops towards Jizhou.

As soon as Yuan Shu's order was conveyed, the soldiers and horses who had been resting at the rear also started to move, and they all rushed towards Jizhou in front.

……

On the other side, Ji Ling also ordered to attack the city, shouting to kill Zhentian for a while.

Not to be outdone, Lv Bu met Ji Ling's army.

Ji Ling had two thousand cavalry under his command. Under Ji Ling's command, a torrent quickly formed and slammed into Lu Bu's army.

The strength of these cavalry far surpassed that of ordinary infantry, coupled with the large number of them, after some collisions, Ji Ling's army suffered heavy losses.

Because Lu Bu's army is stronger, and this is a cavalry collision.

"Retreat." Ji Ling roared and retreated with his cavalry.

"Chasing, chase me." Lu Bu laughed loudly when he saw this scene, and decisively ordered the army to pursue.

Chen Gong, under the protection of Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng, slowly followed behind Lu Bu's army.

Lu Bu and Yuan Shu were fighting fiercely, while Chen Gong was secretly commanding.

"Wen Yuan, do you think Feng Xian can withstand Ji Ling's army?" Chen Gong asked while looking at the battle ahead.

Zhang Liao said contemptuously, "Yuan Shu is nothing but the Lord's opponent. He can win without any effort."

Zhang Liao had great confidence in Lu Bu.

"Wen Yuan, you are wrong." Hou Cheng glanced at Zhang Liao indifferently, and said, "Although the lord is strong, Ji Ling brought an army of tens of thousands after all. If Ji Ling fought back desperately, and Gongsun Zan on the other side would definitely I will take the opportunity to fight out, and the lord will be hard to contend with at that time."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Liao asked with some concern.

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wen Yuan, the master has already made arrangements, so don't worry too much."

Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng looked at each other and didn't speak, but they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. As long as there is a way, it is always good.

"My lord, Ji Ling's army seems to be fleeing." A spy ran to Lu Bu's side and reported.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "In that case, let Yuan Shu go."

Lu Bu also knew that the encirclement and suppression of Ji Ling was not the ultimate goal. His goal was to escape, so it was useless to keep Ji Ling.

"Order the former army to make way." Lu Bu ordered.

"No!" The scout led the way.

Ji Ling was overjoyed when he found out, he didn't expect Lu Bu to be so straightforward.In this way, his own opportunity has come.

Not long after, Ji Ling broke away from the battle group with his troops and fled to the east.

Lu Bu didn't give an order to stop them, but just watched indifferently.

"Wen Yuan, what do you think?" Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao.

After Zhang Liao thought for a while, he said, "My lord, Ji Ling is indeed a little strange. It stands to reason that he would not leave in such a situation, unless he has a bigger conspiracy."

"A bigger plot?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.

"My lord, did Ji Ling expect that you would send troops to attack him, and deliberately set traps?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Impossible. This time I decided to fight back temporarily, and I didn't leak any information to him at all." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "And I also believe that Yuan Shu didn't know the news about my alliance with Yuan Shao."

"My lord is very worried. I am afraid that someone gave Ji Ling some kind of promise, such as letting Ji Ling pretend to be defeated." Zhang Liao guessed: "Ji Ling is a cautious person. If he does not have enough confidence or interests, it is impossible to take risks. He went to fight. And judging from his current actions, Ji Ling is obviously unwilling to fight the lord decisively, presumably because he is afraid of the lord's strength."

Chen Gong and Hou Cheng deeply believed that Ji Ling must have been tricked by others in his current state.And the three of them are one of the participants in this conspiracy.

"Then who could it be?" Hou Cheng frowned and murmured.

"Hou Cheng, have you figured out which guy is playing tricks?" Lu Bu asked.

Hou Cheng shook his head.

Lu Bu pondered for a while, and said, "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. Let's continue to conquer Youzhou and strive to end the war as soon as possible."

Hou Cheng also frowned and asked: "Master, shouldn't we go to Qingzhou immediately?"

"No, we should go again when Yuan Shao can't take care of himself. At this time, we can just ask for food and grass for soldiers and horses here." Lu Bu said with a slight smile.

Hou Cheng's eyes lit up, he nodded, and quickly expressed his admiration.

"Okay, everyone, let's continue to conquer Youzhou." Lu Bu waved his hand.

The generals suddenly took orders and started a new round of fighting again.

"General Ji Ling, you are really reckless. You just escaped like this."

Just after Ji Ling escaped from the encirclement, Ju Shou complained.

"Grand and brother, you also heard that my men and horses broke up as soon as they fought, why don't I run and wait to die." Ji Ling said depressingly.

"Won't you hide behind and not fight them head-on?" Ju Shou said speechlessly.

"How is it possible?" Ji Ling looked at Jushou with contempt, and said, "I am a majestic Ji Ling, how can I be a shrinking turtle."

"Then you should run!" Ju Shou scolded angrily.

"Grand and brother, you don't understand!" Ji Ling blushed and argued thickly.

"Why don't I understand? Let me tell you, your soldiers and horses have already suffered tens of thousands of casualties. If this continues, we will definitely lose." Jushou said angrily.

"I know, but this battle is related to whether we can capture Jizhou. We originally had a lot of troops, but now we have lost more than [-]. Isn't this price too high?" Ji Ling was a little reluctant.

Jushou gave Ji Ling a white look, and said, "If you are afraid of death, you can go back by yourself. Anyway, I am going to fully support the Lord."

Ji Ling was stunned by Jushou's words, he didn't expect his old friend to be so decisive.

"Am I the kind of person who covets life and fears death?" Ji Ling said dissatisfied.

"Then what are you?" Ju Shou asked back.

Embarrassed for a while, Ji Ling said: "Naturally, I am a brave and resourceful person. I am greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that this battle is too dangerous, and I don't want my soldiers to be injured."

"You have such a heart, we have already thanked you. But in the heart of the lord, you have become a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. You have not only failed the lord's expectations of you, but also failed our trust in you." Ju Shou said seriously.

"Grand and brother, you have misunderstood." Ji Ling hurriedly explained.

"Misunderstanding? The lord has high hopes for you, and hopes that you can win Jizhou. And what about you? You have stayed here for so long, and you haven't even won a single county. Tell me, are you ashamed of the lord Long Enhaodang. "Ju Shou shouted angrily.

"I just need time. After taking down Lu Bu, it's not too late." Ji Ling argued.

"Hmph, the terrain in Youzhou is complicated, and there are many yellow scarf thieves, I advise you to give up early." Ju Shou sneered.

"I know, but what can I do..." Ji Ling lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Ji Ling, look." Ju Shou suddenly pointed to the front and said.

Ji Ling raised his head and watched the densely packed cavalry rushing towards him.

"Damn it." Ji Ling cursed.

"Ji Ling, it's Lu Bu's cavalry!" Ju Shou shouted in surprise.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly." Ji Ling yelled with a pale face.

"Give me the order, everyone stop attacking immediately." Lu Bu also sensed the danger, and immediately issued the order.

Both sides began to retreat, and the two cavalry stopped at a distance of 500 meters.

"It's Lu Bu!" Ji Ling said with narrowed eyes.

"General Ji, I suggest to deal with Lu Bu before fleeing." Ju Shou suggested.

"Well, you're right. Lu Bu is the strongest opponent I've ever met in my life. Don't take it lightly." Ji Ling approved of Lu Bu's suggestion.

The people on Lu Bu's side also saw the enemy army in the distance, and they suddenly had a whim.

"My lord, it's Ji Ling, they're here." Chen Gong said with great joy in his heart.

Lu Bu also saw a tall and mighty man in the middle of the cavalry in the distance. It was Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would come to you." Lu Bu laughed wildly.

Afterwards, instead of surrendering, he led the army straight to Ji Ling who had come directly towards him.

Soon, a group of people began to fight.

"Ji Ling, hurry up and get off your horse and die!"

Lu Bu shouted violently, and Fang Tian's painted halberd kept waving in his hand, heading straight for the enemy's formation.

The red rabbit horse under the crotch can leap several feet, which is beyond the reach of human beings.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you want to defeat me, it's up to you, and you're not close." Ji Ling said calmly.

"Oh?" Lu Bu was surprised. He didn't expect Ji Ling to remain so calm when facing him. "Your martial arts are indeed extraordinary. But that doesn't mean I can't do anything to you."

"I'm going to kill you today!" Lu Bu pulled out Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted loudly, "Everyone listen to the order and follow me to meet the enemy."

"Here." All the soldiers shouted loudly.

Lu Bu took the lead in charging and went straight to Yuan Shu.Lu Bu was surrounded by generals such as Cao Xing and Song Xian.

"Prepare the bow and crossbow, shoot and kill the rebel leader."

Zhang Liao led his generals to closely guard Chen Gong's left and right sides, while Wei Xu was on the outermost side to prevent Ji Ling from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
