Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Just now Lu Bu asked Cao Ang to assassinate Dong Zhuo, which left Huang Zhong puzzled.

Lu Bu sighed and said, "I can't tell you!"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

……

Cao Ang left the inn, immediately packed up his belongings, and quickly ran towards the north.

The journey was smooth.

About an hour later, Cao Ang arrived outside a county town, then quietly sneaked into the city and found the people Lu Bu arranged here.

"I'm here to see you, your Majesty!"

The soldier hurriedly knelt down and said.

"I'm free of charge!"

Cao Ang waved his hand and then said: "What is your name and where do you live?"

"Reporting to the envoy, my subordinate's name is Wang Meng!"

The soldier said respectfully.

"It turns out to be you!"

After hearing this, Cao Ang nodded suddenly.

This Wang Meng was Cao Cao's subordinate. When Cao Cao led his army to Jizhou, Cao Ang met him, but the two of them didn't have a close friendship!

"Wang Meng, do you know the purpose of Lu Bu sending you here?"

Cao Ang asked again.

"Reporting to the envoy, Lord Lu Bu has ordered that if the envoy is willing, please help him to kill Yuan Shao and Liu Biao!" Wang Meng said respectfully.

Cao Ang nodded, and then understood Lu Bu's plan.

Lu Bu's plan is to let himself assassinate Yuan Tan!

Cao Ang pondered for a while and asked, "Why does Lu Bu want me to assassinate Yuan Tan?"

Wang Meng thought for a moment and said, "Lord Lu Bu said that only by getting rid of Yuan Tan can we have a chance to occupy the entire Jizhou!"

"Oh!"

A glimmer of light flashed across Cao Ang's eyes, and he murmured: "Lü Bu's ambition is not small, but this is fine. When I get rid of Yuan Tan, Lu Bu will definitely join me. By then, won't this plan be even more perfect?"

Thinking of this, Cao Ang already had an idea in his mind. He smiled and said: "In that case, then you will pass the news for me, and I agree to assassinate Yuan Tan!"

"Yes!"

Wang Meng heard it and responded immediately.

Cao Ang waved his hand and asked Wang Meng to leave.

After Wang Meng left, Cao Ang immediately changed into black clothes and sneaked out of Yecheng.

At this time, Lu Bu also received the news from Cao Ang and immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, now that the situation in Yecheng has been completely stabilized, we can take action!"

Lu Bu sat in the first place and said solemnly: "Now I order you to send me five thousand soldiers from everywhere. I will personally lead an army of five thousand to attack Xudu!"

"promise!"

When everyone heard it, they all responded.

They had long wanted to attack Xudu, but Lu Bu never said anything, and they did not dare to act without authorization.

Now that Lu Bu finally spoke, they certainly would not refuse.

Soon Lu Bu selected an army of five thousand, and then left Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Pang De to guard Yecheng, and took away the rest.

……

At the same time, Yuan Tan learned that Lu Bu was going to attack Xudu.

"Hmph, Lu Bu wants to attack Xudu, it's just a fool's errand!"

Yuan Tan sneered, and then said: "Send the order, all generals and soldiers are ready to meet the enemy at any time!"

"Yes!"

After Yuan Tan was ready, Lu Bu also left Yecheng with his army and headed towards the east gate. The east gate is the most important gateway on the south side of Xudu.

Because there are mountains and forests to the south of Xudu, if there is no east gate, it may be difficult to defend it!
These days, Lu Bu has been waiting, waiting for Yuan Shao to send someone to contact him.

But Yuan Shao didn't take action for a long time, which made Lu Bu feel a little irritated.

So he decided to attack first and capture the east gate first!

"General, the east gate is ahead!" Dian Wei pointed to the city wall in the distance and said.

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and stared at the east gate, silent.

When the east gate was still several miles away from Lu Bu, there was suddenly a deafening roar, like an explosion of thunder.

Lu Bu's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted in surprise: "Hahaha, it's finally here!"

"Let's go, attack the east gate!"

Lu Bu took the lead and rushed towards the east gate, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu hurriedly followed.

"kill!"

Lu Bu roared angrily and pointed his gun at the east gate!
"boom!"

A sound of gold and iron colliding suddenly came out.

On the east gate tower, a general raised his sword to block Lu Bu's spear.

Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly and he shouted: "Lu Fengxian, why are you here!"

"Brother Fengxian, is it really you?" This general is Li Ru!
"it's me!"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Wen You, retreat quickly!"

"Brother Fengxian, have you forgotten who I am?"

Li Ru smiled bitterly and said, "You forgot, I am Li Ru, your military advisor. You once told me that I am your most trusted advisor and your best friend!"

"This……"

Lu Bu was stunned.

"Brother Feng, I accept your kindness, but you take the people and leave quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous!"

Li Ru urged: "Although I only have two thousand people here, it is enough to resist Lu Bu's army for half a day! Your reinforcements should arrive by then!"

Lu Bu frowned, looked at Li Ru, and said, "Are you in trouble?"

"Well, there is some trouble!" Li Ru smiled bitterly: "Originally, I was planning to take advantage of your attack on Ye City to quietly go to Ye City to replace Cao Cao and become the lord of Yanzhou!"

"But I never expected that Lu Bu would raid Yecheng, causing my plan to fail!"

"But I have already deployed my manpower. I believe I will get the news soon. Even if your men and horses are delayed, I will be able to seize Yanzhou!"

"Brother Fengxian, let's see you again in the future!"

After Li Ru finished speaking, he turned around and left regardless of Lu Bu's rebuttal.

"Hey, Wenyou, Wenyou..."

Lu Bu called several times in succession, but did not call Li Ru back. He could only sigh softly, and then led the people to continue rushing towards Xudu!

After Lu Bu led the people away, Li Ru walked out of the darkness with a faint smile on his lips.

"Sir, your move is really great!"

Standing next to Li Ru, a Jin Yiwei said with a smile: "Lu Bu must have thought that we would fight to the death, so he didn't dare to attack us at all. Then we can take this opportunity to successfully control Yanzhou!"

"Haha, he, Lu Bu, wants to break through my defense. He is simply delusional!" Li Ru's face showed a hint of pride: "There are only a handful of people in this world who can break through my defense!"

"Young Master is mighty!" Jin Yiwei gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Okay, stop flattering and tell Zhang Liao immediately that Lu Bu's army has left Yecheng. We need to capture Jizhou as soon as possible!" Li Ru said.

"Here!" Jin Yiwei clasped his fists and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Lu Bu and his people rushed to Xudu.

"Report to the general, some scouts have detected traces of Yuan Shao's army!" Dian Wei rode up to Lu Bu and reported.

"Oh?" (End of chapter)
