The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 166 Breaking Pengcheng

Lu Bu didn't dare to speak directly to Yan Shi. After passing the speech experiment and making all kinds of insinuations, Lu Bu just said something.Yan's eyes widened: "What nonsense, how can my tiger girl marry Yuan Shu's son? Even though he is the prince now, who knows how long he can be!"

Lu Bu chuckled: "Ma'am, what you said is very true, but Xuzhou is in danger, and only Yuan Shu can save it. Why don't you agree to this matter first, and wait until the siege of Xuzhou is relieved?"

"Huh!" Yan snorted coldly, those eyes seemed to be able to drive Lu Bu into the ground: "A man, a man, wants to exchange his daughter with others, even if such a wolf-hearted father doesn't want it! I will take it with me tomorrow. My son is going back to Jiuyuan!" As he spoke, Yan started to cry.This time Lu Bu was completely at a loss.

When Chen Gong heard about this, he hurried to find Lu Bu.Lu Bu was in a daze in the living room.Chen Gong ran hurriedly, out of breath, just stepped into the door, and immediately asked: "General, about Yuan Shu..."

"Hey!" Lu Bu sighed, "I also want to send Qi'er away, but Madam refuses, so let's forget about this matter? Tomorrow I will lead the army out of the city to fight Cao Bandit to the death!"

Chen Gong could see what kind of person Lu Bu was.Lu Bu is superb in martial arts, Fang Tian draws a halberd in his hand, and the world can't compete with him. On the battlefield, he is a tiger and wolf.However, Lu Bu was obsessed with female sex, and he obeyed his wives and concubines without daring to disobey them. He was a worm in front of his wife.Chen Gong was in a hurry: "General! This is an important matter for the military and the country. It's not a joke. Without Yuan Shu's help, Xuzhou would be in danger!"

"Hmph!" Lv Bu said coldly, "Thief Cao will have to pay a price if he wants to occupy my Xuzhou. His army and horses are nothing to notice! There is no need to talk about this matter, it's settled like this!"

Chen Gong had no choice but to leave the subordinate office resentfully.Cao Xing and Hou Cheng were waiting at the door. When they saw Chen Gong coming out, they hurried forward to inquire.Chen Gong didn't say a word, and silently left the gate of the yamen. Since then, he has closed the door and never seen anyone.The city of Xuzhou was in chaos. Starting from the soldiers, there was no fighting spirit at all. Everyone knew that Cao Jun's attack on Xuzhou was bound to win this time, not to mention that his lord had no intention of resisting at all.Lu Bu also went out of the city to challenge several times, but was forced back by Cao Cao's crowd tactics.He once wanted to escape from Xuzhou with his family, but the Cao army surrounded him completely and didn't give him any chance at all.

Desperate, Lu Bu once again thought about sending his daughter to Shouchun.Perhaps Yan Shi also sensed the danger, and under Lu Bu's repeated persuasion, he agreed.At night, Lu Bu put his daughter behind him with a ten-foot red cloth, and got on his horse.The people behind them tied the dowry and other things to their horses, opened the city gate and killed them.The south gate was guarded by General Xiahou Dun of the Cao Army. Suddenly he heard the sound of killing, and Xiahou Dun rushed out of the big tent in a hurry.From a distance, he saw Lu Bu galloping on horseback, and immediately ordered someone to report to Cao Cao, and organized an army to meet the enemy.

Lu Bu rushed from left to right and collided with Xiahou Dun.Xiahou Dun laughed loudly: "This place is your burial place today, eat me with a halberd!" Wu halberd went up.

Lv Bu snorted coldly: "Overestimating one's abilities!"

The two fought together.With Xiahou Dun's martial arts skills, he was no match for Lv Bu. However, Lv Bu had a man on his back and had to devote his attention to taking care of his children, so his halberd technique was a bit messy.Xiahou Dun continued to stalk, and Lu Bu couldn't get away.Seeing that Cao Cao's army arrived, and the soldiers who rushed out with him were killed one after another, Lu Bu had to turn his horse's head and fight back into the city.

After successive failures, Lu Bu had to find Chen Gong again.Chen Gongjian met Lu Bu on the face of their friendship for many years.Lu Bu told Chen Gong about the current situation, and Chen Gong shook his head again and again: "At the beginning, I asked the general to lead his troops out of the city, but the general refused to listen to you and my city's horns; I don’t listen, Cao’s army has been besieged for a long time now, the soldiers in the city have no fighting spirit, and we have no great kindness to the people, and they will not help each other. When things come to this, I have nothing to do.”

"How about surrendering to Duke Cao?" Lu Bu asked suddenly.

Chen Gong turned his face to look at Lu Bu, and smiled: "The general forgot about Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo? Cao Cao is no better than these two. Although the general is brave, he is difficult to control. Cao Cao is very suspicious. If the general does not want to die, it is best to dispel it." This thought!"

"Then what should we do? Why don't we sit and wait for death?"

Chen Gong closed his eyes, and thought for a moment: "The general can send people to Wancheng immediately, one can ask Long Fei for help, and the other can ask His Majesty to let Cao Cao withdraw. Although Cao Cao may not withdraw, we have a moral position. With the upper hand, there is room for maneuver in this matter.”

"No! I will never bow to Long Fei!" Lu Bu stood up with a look of anger.

"General!" Chen Gong said in a begging tone, "This matter is related to the life and death of Xuzhou, is the general ignoring the overall situation for the sake of his own face?"

"Sir, don't say any more! I will never ask Long Fei for help, even if I die!" Lu Bu strode out of Chen Gong's house.

Cao Jun besieged for many days and sent troops to attack the city, but with little effect.Liu Ye suggested digging up Surabaya and flooding the city, then Xuzhou could be destroyed.Although such practices are indiscriminate, they are still a good plan.Cao Cao immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw to a high place and sent people to dig Surabaya.The torrential flood poured down, and the crops that had just matured were submerged in the flood in an instant.Farmland, houses, and trees were soaked in the flood one by one.The city of Xuzhou was flooded with flood water, and two feet of water accumulated on the streets, making it difficult to walk.The goods of the merchants were flooded and suffered heavy losses.Even the subordinate yamen were flooded.Lu Bu arranged his wives and concubines in higher rooms.This flood has dealt a big blow to everyone's life.

Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu sat on a high platform, looking at the continuous flood below their feet.The mood is extremely complicated.Hou Cheng glanced at the two of them: "Brothers, it seems that Pengcheng cannot be defended anymore. What are your plans?"

Song Xian smiled: "Let's resign ourselves to fate! What can we plan?"

Hou Cheng nodded: "Cao Cao's army besieged the city and was flooded. It seems that the city cannot be defended. If Cao Cao invades, it is hard to say whether the three of you, me, and him will live or die, but the people in this city will suffer. I can't bear this difficulty."

"Hahaha..." Wei Xu laughed loudly: "When did our General Hou become so compassionate? This is not like you!"

Song Xian's eyes kept rolling on Hou Cheng's face, watching for a long time: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Hou Cheng moved to the side of the two of them, looked around, there was a vast flood everywhere, and no one was around.He lowered his voice: "Have you two thought about surrendering?"

"You're going to..."

Hou Cheng hurriedly made a silent gesture: "Xuzhou can no longer be defended. The general will not listen to Mr. Chen's words. Now Xuzhou will not be able to defend for long. Once the flood recedes, Cao's army will definitely attack. It is difficult to cope with the current soldiers and horses alone. It would be better to surrender to Cao Cao, so as to avoid death and not worry about it for the rest of my life."

Both of them were thinking about Hou Cheng's words in their minds.According to the analysis of the current situation, it does make sense, but they have followed Lu Bu for a long time, and it is still a bit difficult to get over the hurdle in their hearts if they want to rebel.Hou Cheng struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "I have already sent someone to contact Cao Cao. Cao Cao promised that as long as we respond internally, after the matter is completed, at least we will sit with the Prime Minister of the country. How about it? What do you think?"

"We are not the general! No matter how we surrender, the soldiers will not listen to us!" Song Xian thought for a while: "If the general finds out about this, you should know what will happen to us. Hao Meng in front is our example. .

Hao Meng was originally a general under Lu Bu, and Lu Bu sent him to garrison Xiao County.Hao Meng couldn't stand Yuan Shu's temptation, and under Yuan Shu's instigation, he suddenly rebelled and led his troops from Xiao County to Pengcheng.In a battle with Lu Bu, Lu Bu won. He stripped the captured Hao Meng to the sun for three days, and then used a knife to cut off the flesh piece by piece.Throughout the scene, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu were all present, and they could see clearly.

The three of them fought a cold war involuntarily.Wei Xu nodded quickly: "Yes! I think it's better to forget it and do your own thing in peace."

Hou Cheng smiled: "Look at the two of you! I really shouldn't have told you about this. To tell you the truth, I have already discussed it with Mr. Cao. As long as we catch Lu Bu and open the city gate, Xuzhou will be settled!"

"You're crazy!" Song Xian's eyes widened: "We all know how good the general's martial arts skills are. Catch him? Is it up to you?"

Hou Cheng glanced at the two of them: "Why? Don't believe me? I already have a countermeasure!" Hou Cheng waved Song Xian and Wei Xu to his side, leaned over and explained his plan to them in detail.Slowly got up: "Okay! This is a foolproof thing! If you agree to follow me to do it, your benefits will definitely be indispensable after it is done!"

Wei Xu asked: "Even if we succeed, we have no soldiers and no generals, how can we open the city?"

"You're stupid! The general's card is in his hand, so he just ordered to open the city gate and it's over!" Hou Cheng now felt how smart he was, talking to these idiots was an insult to his IQ.

Song Xian is the oldest among the three, and he can speak well.Don't look at what Hou Cheng said, if Song Xian doesn't nod, their plan may come to naught.Song Xian is usually a little dull, but he has a lot of brains.He glanced at the two of them: "Don't forget that there is also Chen Gong. The whole Pengcheng is actually in his hands. Just arresting Lu Bu may not be effective. If it is to succeed, Chen Gong must not let it go!"

Hou Cheng nodded: "Brother Song is still thoughtful. In this case, let's split up. I will send a message to Cao Gong and ask them to send troops to help, so that we don't have to do it!"

Song Xian nodded, and told the two of them: "At this time, the matter is of great importance. Never tell anyone who has nothing to do with it. The person who handles the matter must be very reliable!"

Xuzhou flood slowly receded.After soaking in water for more than ten days, the already difficult life became even more directionless.The people have completely lost their source of livelihood.The number of people selling their children and begging along the street increased immediately.However, the government ignored it and let it develop.The whole Pengcheng was in panic.
