Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 150
"General, general! Hao Meng is late, please punish me, general."

Hao Meng was sweating profusely, rushed into the tent and knelt down on the ground.

He was dressed in rags, his face was covered with ashes, and he looked in a state of distress. When Lu Bu saw him like this, the scolding sound that he was about to yell was stuck in his throat, and he was quite confused.

"...Did you reveal your whereabouts?!"

Lu Bu took a steady breath, picked up the pottery bowl on the table and threw it at Hao Meng.

Hao Meng didn't dare to dodge, and received a severe blow. Blood trickled from the forehead, and the blood flowed into the eyes, causing a sharp pain.

But Lu Bu was still furious, Hao Meng didn't dare to touch him again, she just lowered her eyes, hoping to relieve the pain.

He can also be regarded as an old man beside Lu Bu. The moment he escaped from Zhong Ping's hands, he knew what kind of punishment from Lu Bu he would face.

Now it was just being smashed on the head by the pottery bowl, which was considered a negligible "warning". While Hao Meng was secretly relieved, he was also a little bit chilled.

The situation on his side was that after gathering more than a hundred mostly unarmed remnants, he could no longer capture Tu County as quietly as planned, in order to follow Lu Bu's order of "don't startle the snake with grass".

Hao Meng had to take more than 100 people, without horses to travel, through the thorny path, and detour back to Gaoyang Pavilion from Fugou.

The terrain of Fugou is rugged, and he and his subordinates have no food or water, and they must always pay attention to avoid the patrols around Tu County and scold them, so that they can arrive on the appointed day.

That's why the soldiers were afraid of Lu Bu's power and fear of being punished.

Hao Meng fell on the ground, waiting for Lv Bu to interrogate, but his mind became alive again.

Lu Bu whipped his soldiers frequently, and sometimes he was drunk. An old soldier like him, who displeased Lu Bu, would be dragged out to beat the soldiers.

It stands to reason that if Lu Bu treats his subordinates like this, Hao Meng should have separated from him long ago.

However, when Lv Bu was happy in battle, it really made the soldiers indulge in joy. A lot of baht money and brocades were rewarded down, and they were sent to everyone's mansions like flowing water.

Hao Meng always wants to break away from Lu Bu, and is greedy for wealth and beauty, not to mention that he is afraid of Lu Bu's spirit——

If the general can win the battle, the soldiers will naturally flock to him.

It is only said that he left Lu Bu, that is also the one where he has nowhere to go.

It was enough to give Hao Meng a rest.

But he also knew that if Lu Bu knew the truth about his capture today, he would definitely die.

In the past, he still had room for change. The idea of ​​"betraying Lv Bu" was at most a whirl in his heart, what to do the next day, or what to do, and no real action.

But now it is really a matter of life and death, if you tell the truth that it is death, how can you hide it for a while?
If the matter was leaked, and Lu Bu knew that he had covered it up, there would be no way out.

Hao Meng had no choice but to put the matter of finding another family on the agenda.

As for the present...it is still possible to cover up and evade, so cover up and evade, the most urgent thing is to pick yourself out first, buy some time, and then make other plans.

Hao Meng thought about the joints, lowered her head and just admitted her mistake.

Seeing that Hao Meng avoided talking about his problems, Lu Bu also understood that he was right in what he said, and he became even more angry and wanted to kick him.

Zhang Liao hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.

"Why don't you ask General Hao to explain what happened on the road first?"

Chen Gong is now at the desk, his eyes are turning around Hao Meng and Lu Bu, as if he is thinking about something.

"Military division, what do you see?"

Lu Bu subconsciously asked Chen Gong for his opinion.

"Hmm..." Chen Gong rolled up his sleeves, "Maybe there is something hidden in it, why doesn't Marquis Wen give General Hao a chance to explain?"

As soon as Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words, he sat back in his original place and waved his hand: "Okay, get up."

"No, no."

Hao Meng stood up obediently, staring down at the ground, not daring to meet Lu Bu's eyes.

"Tell me well, why did you delay until now, if you lied..."

Lu Bu glanced coldly, and Hao Meng's back instantly burst into layers of cold sweat, and his heart stopped beating.

"Don't dare to say half a lie!"

Hao Meng immediately expressed his opinion, stammering how he encountered "an elite soldier of about [-] people" "surprise attack" near Tu County, how he was "caught off guard", "struggled to resist", and finally "exhausted and captured". After talking about it.

Lu Bu frowned when he heard this: "... [-] elite soldiers? Are you trying to amuse me? There are only a handful of generals available in Yanzhou. Could it be that Cao Cao has also learned the sorcery of the Taiping Dao, and can conjure up some heavenly soldiers and generals for nothing?"

Hao Meng calmed down now. After all, the reality was even more outrageous than what he made up. Compared to the fact that he was ambushed by a child and thousands of his men were chased and beaten by more than 1000 infantry.

The fabricated [-] elite soldiers are much more real.

"I don't know where that team came from. I only know that the leading man has extraordinary physical strength and a superb bow and horse."

As Hao Meng spoke, she secretly glanced at Lu Bu's expression, and sure enough, she saw that the questioning and irritability in his eyes had subsided a lot, and she became interested in the person he was describing.

"How does the leader compare to me?"

Lu Bu raised his chin, with disdain in his eyes, but he also knew that Hao Meng had been with him for a long time, he was used to his martial arts, and he could give other people such an evaluation, which showed that that person was indeed a real person, not The family is unknown.

"This……"

Hao Meng's eyes flickered, and she smiled flatteringly: "The general's martial arts is the best in the world, so that person is naturally not as good as the general."

"I see that man, although he is good at archery, he seldom gets off his horse and fights in close combat... I think he is just a showman, how can he compare to the general?"

"The last general marched for several days, and most of the soldiers were exhausted. That man took the initiative and calculated with his heart but not his intentions... The last general couldn't keep up with his fierce battles, and was trapped by the trap..."

Hao Meng's words were pure words of respect, and the description of Tai Shici was deliberately belittled, but in Lu Bu's ears, it was in line with Hao Meng's temperament.

At first, Lu Bu suspected that Hao Meng was making up empty words to avoid punishment, but after hearing this, he believed Hao Meng's words a little bit.

"Good at bow and arrow..."

Lu Bu recalled it carefully, and made sure that he had never heard of such a general under Cao Cao's command, so he turned to look at Chen Gong: "Does the military master know that Cao Cao has someone famous for archery?"

Chen Gong slightly opened his eyes, and looked at Hao Meng carefully.

He was surprised by Hao Meng's various performances when talking about the leading general, which proved that Hao Meng had indeed encountered such a person's obstruction.

This negates what he thought before, "Hao Meng failed to cover his whereabouts, was discovered by Tu County guards, and fought with him".

Although he still didn't believe that Hao Meng was ambushed by elite soldiers, he also knew that Hao Meng's confrontation with Lu Bu was at most exaggerating the number of enemy troops, and he would not make up a fake story to prevaricate.

One, Hao Meng may not have the courage.

The scars on his body and the remnants of his leadership cannot be faked.

Chen Gong couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong in Puyang and leaked the news, otherwise Cao Cao was still in Xuzhou, how could there be a sudden army transfer in Yanzhou?
This is also why he fell into a misunderstanding of thinking. Chen Gong had never met Tai Shici. In his impression, Cao Cao's archery skills were superb, only Xia Houyuan and Le Jin were two.

Cao Ren's archery skills are not weak, but he is far away in the North Sea, and it is difficult to return to Yanzhou for a while. Compared with Lu Bu, it is really difficult to compare.

When Cao Cao went to Xuzhou, he brought Le Jin with him.

Therefore, Chen Gong only locked his suspicion on Xia Houyuan.

If it is really Xia Houyuan, then the meaning behind Hao Meng's attack is intriguing...
