Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 149 The Late Hao Meng

Leaving Cao Cao's side aside, let's just say that Lu Bu's journey out of Chang'an was inexplicably bumpy.

The embarrassment suffered by Er Yuan is already unbearable, and Zhang Yang can be said to be one of the nobles who are inferior to Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Yang not only gave Lv Bu a place to stay, but also gave Lv Bu the time and resources to repair supplies after traveling to several places.

Although in the end Lu Bu chose to leave from Zhang Yang under Li Jue's instigation, but he was able to "meet" with Zhang Miao smoothly, thanks to Zhang Yang's introduction.

Lv Bu was tricked one after another, so Jia Xu's benefit was unavoidable.

He secretly regretted that he hadn't seized the opportunity before and left Zhongping, so he lost a counselor for no reason.

It happened that Chen Gong voted for Zhang Miao, which solved his urgent need. Lu Bu followed Chen Gong's plan and went to several cities in Yanzhou in a few days.

In my heart, I have more contempt for Xun Yu and other people who stayed in Yanzhou, but at the same time, I appreciate Chen Gong more and more, almost to the point of obeying.

When Zhongping entered Xuzhou, Lv Bu had already marched to the city of Chenliu, joined forces with Cheng Lian of Yongqiu, and was just waiting for Hao Meng to send troops from Gaoyangting.

"Military division, why is there such a big fanfare to attack Chenliu?"

Lv Bu usually would not ask Chen Liu's intentions after the plan. Generally, Chen Gong made a siege plan, and Lv Bu only had to follow the plan, and he didn't bother to ask about the details.

He was uncharacteristically today, and he waited for Hao Meng for a long time. Based on his past experience, he felt something was wrong, so he wanted to get some comfort from Chen Gong.

after all……

In the past, he was cheated a lot because his subordinates dropped the line...

Chen Gong pinched the beard with his middle finger and thumb, kneaded it for a moment, put his hands behind his back, and answered softly:

"Cao Cao's soldiers are forcing Pengcheng. If Tao Qian wants to defend Xuzhou, he must use all available soldiers to fight Cao Cao here."

"At this time, I was waiting to attack Chenliu with a large army. The news spread, not to mention that Xun Yu was caught off guard and difficult to deal with, but he sent a letter to Xuzhou..."

Chen Gong turned around.

"Will he make it in time? Or, does he dare to distract Cao Cao at this juncture?"

"Even if he barely supports it, how long can he last? Cao Cao never handed over all the power to Xun Yu, and Yanzhou can dispatch troops around Xudu. I will be the first to respond when there is a commotion in Chenliu , must be the Yanzhou gentry who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao's rule."

"Xun Yu has no time to avatar, Cao Cao is trapped in Xuzhou, and it is difficult to return to help. If Marquis Wen wants to seize Yanzhou, now is the best opportunity."

Chen Gong eloquently explained his own analysis, and when he looked up, Lu Bu was staring at the curtain, his mind wandering away, as if he hadn't heard a word.

His heart skipped a beat, and he silently closed his mouth, waiting for Lu Bu to come back to his senses.

"I understand the reasoning, but what's the reason for Hao Meng's delay in coming?"

Lv Bu was slashing his sword and horse, sitting in the hall, besides irritability, there was a trace of uneasiness and hesitation in his brows.

"General Hao sent a letter ten days ago, saying that he has arrived near Tu County, is that so?"

Lu Bu was more arbitrary and cautious in commanding the generals in his army. Chen Gong had previously arranged the method of dividing the troops, but when he got the news, he was a step behind Lu Bu.

If you want to know what might happen to Hao Meng, you need to ask Lu Bu carefully.

"Wen Yuan, when did Hao Meng send someone to report the last time?"

Lu Bu casually threw Chen Gong's question to Zhang Liao.

"It is indeed as Mr. Gongtai said."

Zhang Liao said succinctly, he is still with Lv Bu's army now, but he has no idea of ​​leaving Lv Bu and seeking another future.

The world has changed so much. Although he has soldiers, he thinks that he is not a person who can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and protect himself and his life in troubled times.

On the way out of Chang'an, although Lu Bu was embarrassed, he treated him and Gao Shun well.

For Lu Bu, his attitude is quite complicated, Ding Yuan is a long time ago.

It is undeniable that Lu Bu treated his soldiers violently, but he was still able to attract generals to die.

In addition to the heart-wrenching aura of the world's number one general, Zhang Liao actually couldn't tell what other shining points about Lu Bu.

Perhaps the charm of some people is really difficult to describe in words, and only by close contact can one feel the existence of that influence.

"This is a bit weird."

Chen Gong pondered for a long time.

He didn't think that Xun Yu, who was far away in Xudu, could get any news in advance and respond accordingly.

It is more likely that Hao Meng met the head of Gaoyang Tingting or other county defenders during the march, and had to interrupt his journey and fight with him.

Of course, if it's just like this, it shouldn't be delayed for so long. I'm afraid... Hao Meng didn't clean up his whereabouts, which attracted the attention of the officials, and perhaps attracted some soldiers to pursue him...

"Where is General Gao? What's the difference?"

Chen Gong thought that Hao Meng and Gao Shun marched side by side, Cheng Lian had joined forces with Lv Bu, so he couldn't tell what happened, but Gao Shun was also marching, maybe he knew what happened to Hao Meng's soldiers.

"I have never heard of any news delivery."

Before receiving Lu Bu's gaze, Zhang Liao took the initiative to answer this question on behalf of Lu Bu.

He felt in his heart that the reason for Hao Meng's delay was probably because before Lu Bu was welcomed into the city by the Puyang gentry, whenever he captured the city in Yanzhou, he indulged his soldiers and looted gold and silver like before.

Hao Meng got gold and silver... I don't know how to enjoy and squander it.

If Lu Bu treats his soldiers well, it is indeed good in this respect.

He loves fine wine, beautiful women, gold, silver and goods. After entering the city and looting, he also shared and rewarded Zhang Liao Gaoshun and his soldiers with what he thought was the best.

Every time Zhang Liao received those belongings, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He is not a person who loves money. Except for daily expenses and equipment, he actually doesn't spend much money.

For Lu Bu's reward, he could neither completely refuse nor accept it frankly.

These goods may be so-called military exploits, and he needs some of these bloody goods to comfort the soldiers.

Zhang Liao also understood, how can there be gold and silver without blood?He was just a little bit uncomfortable in his heart.

Just like every time Gao Shun received a reward from Lu Bu, he would seriously thank Lu Bu for his "kindness".

For ordinary soldiers, this is indeed a reward and a grace.

But Gao Shun...

Gao Shun's expenses were extremely rare, and in Zhang Liao's impression, it seemed that he had never seen Gao Shun use money.

With Lu Bu's rewards, he just continued to train soldiers conscientiously. When Lu Bu encountered any difficulties, lacking troops and money, Gao Shun would return these rewards in full.

It's like a piggy bank, storage device and the like.

Zhang Liao was really curious sometimes, what was going on in Gao Shun's mind.

For such a person, he still admires.

Therefore, seeing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu seemed suspicious, and immediately defended Gao Shun.

"Xiaofu has always been reticent. In order to maintain speed during the march, he seldom communicates, which is also reasonable."

"Speed? It's almost noon, and I don't know where these two are!"

Lu Bu raised his hand in annoyance, and just about to stop Zhang Liao's words, he heard Hao Meng's voice faintly coming from outside the tent.
