At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 180 Lu Bu's End
However, Yuan Shu caught the envoy sent by Zhou Qi, and after reading the content of the statement, he immediately flew into a rage.

Zheng Tai persuaded: "This matter is quite strange, please ask the general to investigate it."

Yuan Shu restrained his anger a little, ordered Zhou Qi's envoy to be detained, and then sent people to Lujiang to inquire about the news.

A few days later, the messenger hurriedly came to report: "Lu Bu has accepted the Yuzhou governor's seal and ribbon presented by Zhou Qi, and is going to attack Yuzhou together."

Although Yuan Shu was angry at this time, he was also a little flustered.

Naturally, he didn't dare to make an enemy of Zhou Qi hastily. The reason why he encouraged Lu Bu to attack Lujiang before was just an idle move.

If Lu Bu can cause trouble for Zhou Qi, he doesn't mind sending troops and food to help Lu Bu consume Zhou Qi.

Once Lu Bu's power is weak, Yuan Shu can shirk away and put everything on Lu Bu's head, but he has picked it all up.

Today's Lu Bu is indeed not Yuan Shu's subordinate, no matter how angry Zhou Qi is, he will not tear his face with Yuan Shu.

The current situation is very delicate, not only Yuan Shu is unwilling to start a war with Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi is also the same.

As long as there is a buffer of Lu Bu, everything is easy to discuss.

Yuan Shu had thousands of calculations, but he didn't expect Zhou Qi to hook up with Lu Bu regardless of the previous suspicions.

If the two are really united, then things will be very difficult.

Yuan Shu hastily summoned Zhou Qi's envoy, and said, "Mrs. Yuan has always been on good terms with General Cheqi, why did he join forces with Lu Bu to take Yuzhou from me?"

When the envoy heard the words, he sneered and said, "Isn't it the general who united with Lu Bu first, and then seized the Lujiang River?"

Yuan Shu said with a face full of shock: "Lv Bu is a jackal, how can this general be in cahoots with him?"

"Since he came to Runan, he has often led troops to plunder, and there have been complaints in Runan, so I expelled him."

"I never thought that Lu Bu's heart is not dead. Since he sent troops to attack Lujiang, he was looking for his own death."

"I have always had a good alliance with General Cheqi. If the general is willing, I am willing to send troops to help General Cheqi fight against Lu Bu to show my innocence."

The messenger looked suspicious and asked, "The general really has nothing to do with Na Lu Bu?"

Yuan Shu pointed to the sky and swore, "It has absolutely nothing to do with it!"

The messenger pondered for a long time before saying: "Although I believe in the general, my lord may not."

"To prove your innocence, general, you can lead your troops to store up in Ruyin and attack Lu Bu together with my lord."

Yuan Shu clapped his hands and said, "That guy Lu Bu, you've ruined my reputation, I'll lead the army to punish me."

Yuan Shu learned that Lu Bu sent Chen Bing to the border of Runan, worried that the other party would lead troops to attack, and had already planned this.

Lujiang County, Shu County.

Lu Bu reconciled with Zhou Qi at this time, and the tension that he had just started was gone, but he relaxed a lot.

He was waiting silently in the city when the news came that Zhou Qi had led troops to attack Yuan Shu.

At that time, whether Zhou Qi was sincere or not, Lu Bu could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

On this day, Lu Bu was staying with his wife and concubine in the mansion, when he suddenly felt the earth shake slightly.

Based on his years of experience in the army, he immediately speculated that a large number of cavalry were approaching.

Lv Bu was terrified, hurriedly put on his clothes, walked out of the room with Fang Tian's painted halberd, and shouted to the soldiers at the door, "What happened?"

Before the guards could answer, they saw Wei Xu running over in a panic, and shouted loudly from a distance: "Marquis Wen, it's not good, Zhou Qi has led thousands of cavalry to the city!"

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, and shouted out loud: "A large group of cavalry are rushing to attack, why haven't we heard of it, and let the opponent directly kill them?"

Wei Xu wiped the cold sweat off his face, smiled wryly and said, "My subordinates don't know either!"

Lu Bu didn't care about other things at this time, and rode directly to the east gate on the red rabbit horse.

As soon as Lu Bu boarded the tower, he saw a lot of dust in front of him, and black cavalry galloping forward, the momentum was terrifying.

"Stop the whole army!"

Outside the city, Zhou Qi was fully clothed, looking at the city wall not far away, raised the spear in his hand high, and shouted loudly.

The guards around him also stopped the horses from shouting in unison, and the voice quickly spread throughout the army. The three thousand cavalry stopped one after another, and then began to organize their formation and spread out their formation.

Lu Bu looked at the "Zhou" banner under the city, and soon found Zhou Qi's trace, and then shouted at the top of his throat: "Didn't the general Cheqi form an alliance with me to challenge Yuan Shu? Why did you offend me in Lujiang for no reason?"

As expected, Lu Bu was worthy of being a powerful general in the world, and his voice was surprisingly loud, even though it was far away, it reached Zhou Qi's ears.

Zhou Qi laughed out loud when he heard this.

He didn't want to yell out his throat, so he called a row of soldiers with loud voices and asked them to repeat what he had said.

"I am a shepherd of Yangzhou, and Lujiang County is under the rule of Yangzhou, and Lu Kang is the governor of Lujiang County who was appointed by the late emperor. When did you become Lu Bu's Lujiang?"

Lu Bu heard the words, but he was speechless.

When he attacked Lujiang, it was true that his master was unknown.

If there is no backer in Lujiang, that's fine. With Zhou Qi, a Yangzhou shepherd, personally leading the army, Lu Bu has nothing to say.

Seeing that Lv Bu refused to answer, Zhou Qi continued, "Mr. Lv Bu, who received Ding Jianyang's kindness, killed his benefactor in order to seek fame and fortune; swore to be father and son with Dong Zhuo, and killed his father as a maidservant."

"The governor of Lu County is highly respected and respected by all the people, but you killed the wise man arbitrarily, and the crime is heinous."

"Slaves with three surnames, dogs with broken spines, unfaithful, unkind, unfilial, what face do they have to live in the world?"

"If you still have half a sense of shame, you can quickly open the city gate and fight to the death with me."

Zhou Qi's words were extremely vicious, and they just poked Lu Bu's sore spot, making him so angry that his face turned red and he almost lost his mind.

Dian Wei also stood up just in time, pointed at Lu Bu on the city wall, and shouted: "You defeated general, do you dare to go out of the city and fight me?"

"Within [-] minutes, your dog's head will be cut off!"

Dian Wei's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely igniting the anger in Lu Bu's heart.

He was speechless to refute Zhou Qi, but poured all his anger on Dian Wei, cursing: "Well, you black-faced bastard, that day you fought with me on foot, how dare you speak lies today, Take my head in twenty rounds?"

But Dian Wei said with disdain on his face: "Don't say that you are mere Lu Bu, even if you add Zhang Liao who killed Huang Shao, someone can kill both of you within thirty minutes!"

Standing beside Zhang Liao did not expect that he would be implicated in it for no reason. Although he was angry in his heart, he still retained a sliver of reason.

He looked at Lu Bu, who was very angry and planned to lead his troops out of the city, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Shu County is a tall city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and his troops are all cavalry, lacking siege equipment. Just the city."

Lu Bu hesitated when he heard the words.

At this moment, 3000 people shouted in unison outside the city.

"Slave with three surnames, murdering his father and a traitor, Lu Bu has no guts, how dare he go out of the city to fight!"

The tidy shouts, wave after wave, spread from outside the city into the city.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the city on the wall would all look at Lu Bu with strange eyes.

Lv Buhe had suffered such humiliation before, and couldn't bear it anymore, he yelled at Zhang Liao, "Zhou Qi's cavalry is only about [-], and they came from a long distance to attack, and they are exhausted."

"The [-] people under my command have been recuperating in the city for a long time."

"Strike the crowd with a few, and the opponent is a tired teacher, why can't we fight?"

"And if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it."

"These [-] cavalry are nothing more than the opponent's vanguard. If we are too afraid to go out to fight, when his army arrives and besieges the city, the people in the city will be panicked and morale will be low."

"Let's defeat Zhou Qi for a while now and defeat the enemy's spirit. The morale of the defenders in the city will be greatly shaken. Even if the other army comes to attack, why not be afraid!"

Zhang Liao pondered for a while when he heard the words, and felt that Lu Bu's words were not without reason.

He immediately said: "Although that is the case, Marquis Wen should not be careless. I am willing to fight for Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu agreed, and then ordered Wei Xu to lead 5000 men to defend the city, Zhang Liao to lead 5000 men to raid the formation, but he himself led 1 people out of the city to fight Zhou Qi.

"Crench!"

The city gate was opened, and Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and rushed out of the city first, pointing at Dian Wei and shouting: "Arrogant man, Lu Bu is here, come and die!"

Dian Wei was furious, and rode his horse with a pair of iron halberds, and charged Lü Bu directly.

All of a sudden, the drums of war roared, and the shouts shook the sky.

The two fierce generals fought in front of the battle, you came and went, and they killed more than a hundred rounds like watching flowers on horseback.

I have to say that Lu Bu is really brave and invincible.

Especially riding the red rabbit horse, the fighting power has soared to a higher level. Dian Wei can't fight for a long time, but the horse under his crotch can't bear it anymore.

The generals of both sides were fascinated to see the two peerless fierce generals fighting like this.

Seeing that Dian Wei was losing ground, Xiang Hong hurried forward with a long saber in his hand, trying to tie him with his strength.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao, who was plundering the formation, patted his horse and rushed up, stopped Xiang Hong, and shouted: "Two enemies with one, what is the ability, let's pass me, Zhang Liao first!"

Hearing Zhang Liao's name, Xiang Hong was furious immediately, and shouted: "Today, a certain beheaded you to avenge the dead Huang Shao!"

Zhang Liao sneered, "Since your relationship is so good, I will send you to meet him underground."

The two come and go, fighting together, regardless of the outcome.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just when Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led their troops to battle, the Lujiang Zhou clan's disciples, with their country rangers, quietly approached Wei Xu and the gate of the city.

Wei Xu only focused on observing the battle outside the city, obsessed with the fight between the two peerless generals, but suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

He turned his head and saw a ranger with a face full of hatred.

"Pfft!"

The long sword pierced Wei Xu's chest fiercely, and another ranger cut off his head with a single blow.

A disciple of the Zhou family took Wei Xu's head, held it high in the air, and yelled at the soldiers who were still a little confused on the city wall: "The thieves invaded our border for no reason, killed Mr. Lu, and forcibly conscripted the young and strong!" , looting everywhere, turning the wealthy Lujiang River into a purgatory on earth.”

"The chariot and cavalry general led the troops to kill, and the thief will be crowned today. If you don't follow me at this time, you will kill the thief anyway, when will you wait?"

These soldiers who were forcibly recruited by Lu Bu were already full of resentment in their hearts, but because of the cruelty of the opponent, they had to bear it.

And because of Lu Kang's death, almost all the people and families in Lujiang hated Lu Bu deeply.

Today Zhou Qi led the troops to kill, and another son of the family took the lead in killing the general. Anyway, these Lujiang local soldiers hardly hesitated, and they shouted loudly: "Welcome General Chariot and Cavalry to enter Lujiang, kill Lu Bu to avenge Lu Gong! "

Following the rebellion of the first batch of soldiers, all the [-] remaining soldiers in the city rebelled in an instant, except those brought by Lu Bu from Runan.

Several generals under Lu Bu's command were also caught off guard and assassinated by the rangers in Lujiang.

Lujiang was already rich in rangers, and the so-called Lujiang Shangjia was an army of rangers gathered from all over the country.

These people may not be able to compete with the regular army when they fight in groups, but they all seem to be brave and ruthless individually, and their assassination is absolutely top-notch.

Even though the generals under Lu Bu's command were all brave and good at fighting, these rangers were not ordinary people, and they all fought together as a few, and directly attacked them to death with a mental calculation and unpreparedness.

It wasn't just the soldiers on the city wall who rebelled, as their shouts became louder and louder, it also affected the soldiers outside the city.

At this time, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were both entangled with Dian Wei and Xiang Hong, and had no time to care about them. The soldiers recruited locally in Lujiang County, under the instigation of the Lujiang Zhou family and You Xia'ermen, almost became wildfire and started a prairie fire. All rebel.

They killed Lu Bu's original trilogy, and in an instant, Lu Bu almost became a polished commander.

Lu Bu, who was in the middle of a battle with Dian Wei and had the upper hand, suddenly saw these changes, he couldn't help being horrified, his mind was turbulent, and his moves showed flaws.

Dian Wei seized the opportunity and stabbed Lu Bu in the shoulder with his halberd.

Lv Bu recovered from the pain, and hastily rode his horse and fled, calling for the few hundred horsemen under his command to run for their lives together.

Zhang Liao was also terrified at this time, he didn't expect Zhou Qi to win the hearts of the people, and all the soldiers under his command rebelled as soon as he arrived.

Knowing that the general situation was over, Zhang Liao didn't dare to relish in fighting, so he made a false move and fled north with Lu Bu.

"kill!"

Zhou Qi saw this, where would he give up?
He left behind [-] cavalry, and ordered Chen Wen to recruit those soldiers who surrendered, and wipe out the remnants of Lu Bu along the way.

He himself took Dian Wei, Xiang Hong, and [-] cavalry to chase and kill Lu Bu.

The two sides chased and fled, and almost all the hundreds of cavalry under Lu Bu's command were killed.

In the end, only Lu Bu and Zhang Liao fled north with a dozen remnants relying on their bravery and fast horses.

Zhou Qi and the others went out day and night, and consumed a lot of horsepower during the attack. In the end, they were exhausted and had to stop the pursuit of the large army.

At this time, Lu Bu was wearing several wounds, and the golden crown with his hair was also knocked off. His hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with blood. He looked very embarrassed.

Zhang Liao was not much better either, he was hit by two arrows, although he was protected by armor and his life was safe, but after he was injured and ran for a long distance, he lost a lot of blood, his face was terribly pale.

There were only a dozen or so riders around, and the situation was not much better.

Lu Bu touched the red rabbit horse under his crotch affectionately, pointed to the city in front of him and said, "Yangquan is in front of me. Before that, I believed Zhou Qi's dog thief and planned to attack Runan from here. That's why I sent Hao Meng to lead the army." A thousand are stationed here."

"I never thought that this would be our final destination."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao said, "Most of Hao Meng's subordinates are recruited from Lujiang."

"As soon as Zhou Qi's army arrives, all the [-] Lujiang soldiers will surrender, so there is no guarantee that Hao Meng's soldiers will not mutiny."

Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What can I do?"

Zhang Liao pondered for a while, and said: "You might as well ask Hao Meng to bring money, food and reliable confidants, leave Yangquan, and go directly to Runan to join Yuan Shu."

Lu Bu suddenly realized, and said: "I have this misfortune, it is all because of Yuan Shu, this time I return to Runan, I have to talk to him."

Until this time, Lu Bu still regarded himself as Yuan's benefactor, and did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all.

However, Hao Meng led a thousand troops to guard Yangquan, but suddenly encountered a mutiny under his command. Under the leadership of Zhou Yu and Lujiang Rangers, he directly instigated the soldiers in the city, killed Hao Meng's confidants, and captured them.

Zhou Yu, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is already handsome and handsome, with a dignified appearance.

He looked at Hao Meng, who was full of fear, and said, "Lu Bu has been defeated. If you flee to Yangquan like a bereaved dog, are you willing to surrender?"

Hao Meng was not the kind of loyal person in the first place, facing the threat of death, he hurriedly said: "A certain surrender."

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Today, I have given a great contribution to the general. Will the general take it?"

Hao Meng asked: "Is it all credit?"

Zhou Yu said: "After Lu Bu fled to Yangquan, the general can take Lu Bu and give it to General Cheqi."

"General Cheqi hates Lu Bu deeply. If you can make such a great contribution, you will be rewarded generously!"

Hao Meng was quite moved, but he smiled wryly and said: "Then Lu Bu is brave enough to win the three armies. He is no match for manpower. As long as he holds Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and rides a red rabbit horse on his crotch, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, I'm afraid There’s nothing you can do about it.”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "If you really plan to take Lu Bu by force, what use are you for?"

"Now you are a general of Lu Bu's department. You can get him drunk with wine, take his Fang Tian painted halberd and red rabbit horse, and then tie him tightly."

"So, what can Lu Bu do if he bravely wins the three armies?"

Hao Meng couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Lv Bu is addicted to alcohol, and he is obsessed with beauty. Now that his family is in trouble, he must be sad. If I try my best to persuade him to drink, I will definitely make Lu Bu drunk. This plan is feasible!"

Just when Zhou Yu and Hao Meng were plotting against Lu Bu, Zhang Liao came to the city.

Zhou Yu didn't see Lu Bu, so he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

But Zhang Liao didn't dare to enter the city, and shouted to the inside of the city, which made Hao Meng see each other.

Hao Meng had no choice but to focus on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu murmured for a while, and then said seriously: "Lü Bu's power is gone, and he's become a loser. You follow the chariot general, and you have a bright future. Wouldn't it be better to follow Lü Bu?"

"I sent you out of the city, and you can make up your own mind."

Hao Meng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then led a few people to the outside of the city, met Zhang Liao, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Why does the clerk look like this?"

Zhang Liao smiled wryly, and briefly explained what had happened, and then said: "Lujiang soldiers and horses are not trustworthy, and Yangquan is not a place to stay for a long time. Take your confidants and a little money and food, and follow us to Runan."

Hao Meng readily agreed, and then returned to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Yu thought to himself: "This Liao is also a delicate person."

He then looked at Hao Meng and whispered a few words in her ear.

However, after Lu Bu met Hao Meng and 200 men under his command, he did not dare to stay too long, crossed the Huai River, and headed for Ruyin.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu and others hadn't traveled a few miles ashore, but they saw Ji Ling leading a group of men and horses to kill them.

When Lu Bu saw Ji Ling, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "I am Lu Fengxian, come to join Yuan Gonglu!"

Ji Ling was furious, pointed at Lu Bu and cursed: "How dare you call my lord by my lord's name?"

"Your lords, obey your orders, charge forward, capture Lu Bu alive, and send him to General Chariot!"

Lu Bu was horrified, he didn't expect that even Yuan Shu would hook up with Zhou Qi.

In the current situation, Runan can no longer go, so he can only lead his troops to flee to the Huaihe River.

Ji Ling rushed for a while, and Lu Bu's men lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and finally fled to the river in embarrassment with Zhang Liao and Hao Meng.

They were all in small boats, which couldn't hold the red rabbit horse at all.

Fortunately, the red rabbit horse crosses the water like walking on flat ground, even if the Huaihe River is wide, it can swim back and forth.

Hao Meng was on the same boat as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

At this time, Zhang Liao's wound was only treated with a simple bandage, and now he has not been healed after many twists and turns.

Lu Bu was no longer as vigorous as before, but instead had a deathly ashes on his face.

He couldn't figure it out, killing Dong Zhuo himself and becoming famous all over the world was a good time to show off his skills.

Why did the situation take a turn for the worse in just a few days, with Ji Ling blocking the way in the north and Lujiang chasing troops in the south, Lu Bu really became a bereaved dog with nowhere to go.

Seeing Lu Bu sighing, Hao Meng hurriedly handed over a jug of wine and said, "Marquis Wen quenches his thirst first, if it's really not possible, we can go west and seek refuge with Liu Biao."

"Liu Biao doesn't have any great generals under his command. If Marquis Wen agrees with him, he will accept him gladly."

Hearing this, Lu Bu cheered up a little, took the jug and drank it down in one gulp.

Hao Meng looked at the pale Zhang Liao, and said, "Wen Yuan also have some wine first."

Zhang Liao bit his lip tightly and didn't answer, but took another jug ​​and took a few sips of wine.

He was already dizzy with fever, and after drinking, he felt even more dizzy and fell directly into the cabin.

Lu Bu shook his head, feeling dizzy, and muttered: "What's going on today, I only drank a pot of wine, it shouldn't be like this."

After saying that, Lu Bu also fell headlong.

"Marquis Wen!"

"Marquis Wen!"

Hao Meng yelled twice cautiously, and pushed Lu Bu, but the other party didn't respond.

Hao Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and gently took Fang Tian's painting halberd out of the cabin, and then took out several bundles of beef tendon from the bag.

It didn't take long for Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to be bound tightly by beef tendons.

Especially Lu Bu.

Hao Meng was afraid of his bravery, so he tied him tightly with beef tendon, almost strangling him into the flesh.

On the south bank of the Huaihe River, Zhou Yu waited quietly.

"My lord, I captured Lu Bu and Zhang Liao!"

Hao Meng let the boat dock and hurried forward to claim credit.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "I will definitely report to General Cheqi for your contribution."

Hao Meng was overjoyed, then pointed to Zhang Liao, and said, "This person has been traumatized several times, and he still has some fever. If he is not treated early, his life may be in danger."

Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Liao, whose face was pale, and thought to himself, "This man was able to take Lujiang by surprise with only a few hundred riders. He is indeed a man of courage."

"However, if he killed Huang Shao, the army might not be able to tolerate him."

"But even if you want to take revenge, it's not my turn. Let the doctor treat him first."

　I hope that my brothers will be more tolerant when they read the book, and they can hold on to it. After reading the chapter yesterday, some people clamored to abandon the book, which is very annoying.

　　The hints given by previous civilizations are actually very obvious. I am afraid that some veterans will not be able to guess. All kinds of crazy hints are almost obvious.

　　Can't we just let Xi Zhicai explain all the plans clearly? That way there is no sense of expectation, and it's not interesting to watch, isn't it?

　　Brothers who are not in the group, join them and brag together, it is best to come to girls, there are many handsome men in the group, and they are all licking dogs.
