Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137 Lu Bu was killed by Baimen Tower (1)

Li Song took another look at Xiapi City, which was submerged by the flood, and returned to the camp, "Let's go! Go back to the camp!"

Pei Yuanqing, Luo Cheng and others followed closely behind Li Song.

While returning to the camp, Li Song said to Pei Yuanqing and the others: "Yuanqing, Luo Cheng! Do you think when will I be able to capture Lu Bu alive and conquer Xiapi?"

"The last general is stupid! My lord, please let me know!" Pei Yuanqing and Luo Cheng racked their brains, but they didn't think of the answer. They thought over and over again, but they still had no clue!
Li Song said with a smile: "I expect that within a few days! Someone will tie Lu Bu to see me! By then, I will be able to get the Pi!"

Seeing Li Song's confident look, the two became even more puzzled, the confidence brought by the lord?Could it be that the lord has placed troops in Xiapi City?

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Song to place troops in Xiapi City, otherwise, he would not have flooded Xiapi City with water. This is a plan!
"How did my lord know that someone would kidnap Lu Bu, who is this person?" Pei Yuanqing asked.

"Of course it's Lu Bu's subordinates! As for who it is, you'll know when the time comes!" Li Song said.

Li Song almost casually mentioned Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu, but after thinking about it, he thought it was wrong!I am a time traveler and know some history, which is normal, but people like Luo Cheng are not time travelers, so naturally they don't understand why!

If I directly said the names of these three people, what would they think, and how should I explain it?Prophet?Fortune-telling?If you really want to say that, who will believe it!
"My lord! Although Xiapi was submerged by the water of Yisi, the east gate is relatively high and has not been submerged. Lu Bu still has the power to fight! The soldiers and horses are not damaged! I really can't think of any reason! Why did Lu Bu's men betray them? " Asked Luo Cheng, who rarely talked on weekdays.

Of course Lu Bu treated them badly!Just think about this sentence in your heart, after all, how would you know that Lu Bu treated them badly.

Li Song said: "We diverted the water from Yisi and submerged Xiapi City. Except for the east gate, the other three gates were swallowed by the flood. Naturally, the soldiers and civilians in the city had to move to the east gate and the tall buildings."

"People and horses can run! The food and grass in the city can't run away too! I guess their food and grass must be flooded, and the daily consumption of the defenders in the city is not small."

"Even if the food and grass are not completely submerged, how much can be left over, and how long can people eat and eat horses! That's why I expected that they will have internal strife over the food and grass problem!"

"I dare to conclude that for their own benefit, Lu Bu's subordinates will definitely tie up Lu Bu and sacrifice Xiapi City to show their surrender!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized!Pei Yuanqing said: "So that's it! My lord's eyes are like torches! I can't wait for what happens!"

"Yuan Qing, don't belittle yourself! It's just that you haven't thought about it!" Li Song laughed.

While talking, they returned to Daying without knowing it, and Pei Yuanqing and Luo Cheng bid farewell to Li Song!Go back to your camp and go to deal with military affairs. After all, Xiapi City has been flooded now, so they don't need to worry too much!
Lu Bu, Chen Gong and the others had already been trapped in Xiapi City by the flood, and it was difficult to fly with wings. It was only a matter of time before Xiapi was taken down. Li Song also returned to the camp with his personal guards.

Three days later, there was a shortage of food and grass in Xiapi City. The food for the soldiers and civilians in the city was changed from three meals a day to one meal a day. Sooner or later, the food would run out.

In Xiapi City, at Hou Cheng's mansion, Wei Xu and Song Xian came to visit Hou Cheng who was punished by Lv Bu with a military stick. Lv Bu issued a ban on drinking because of drinking with his wife and concubine, but Hou Cheng violated his order. Under the abstinence order, Lu Bu ordered beheading, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others interceded, Hou Chengcai was exempted from the death penalty, changed to stick punishment, and was demoted as a pawn.

When Hou Cheng saw the two, he burst into tears and said, "If you brothers hadn't interceded for me, I am afraid that today will be my memorial day next year!"

Song Xian and Wei Xu looked at Hou Cheng who was crying loudly, and they couldn't help but feel a bit sad. Song Xian said: "Lv Bu has no way, he only loves his wives and concubines, and doesn't care about our life or death!"

Wei Xu said: "Now that Li's army is besieging the city and flooding Xiapi with the water from Yisi, although the food and grass in the city is already one meal per person per day, it is not enough for two days."

"If this continues, we will all starve to death in Xiapi City, and be buried with Lu Bu's family!"

Hou Cheng thought for a while and said, "Lu Bu is inhumane and unrighteous! We don't need to sacrifice our lives for him anymore! Why don't we capture him alive and dedicate him to Li Song together with Xiapi City, in exchange for our way of life."

"Okay! Brother Hou Cheng's proposal is good! Don't blame us for Lv Bu's injustice." Song Xian and Wei Xu said, "It's just, what should we do?"

Hou Cheng made a gesture to the two of them, signaling them to come closer, Song Xian and Wei Xu stepped forward, Hou Cheng whispered his plan to them in their ears, the three discussed it, and finally followed the finalized plan At night, when Lv Bu was asleep, he stole Lv Bu's Fangtian painted halberd, tied up Lv Bu and offered it to Li Song together.

After waiting for three days, no one had tied up Lü Bu and offered up the Pi, Li Song felt a little anxious, could it be that Romance of the Three Kingdoms lied to me?Sure enough, novels just can't be trusted, so Li Song hurriedly ordered people to write many letters and shoot them into the city, so as to disturb the morale of Lu Bu's army in Xiapi City.

Li Song was a little too hasty!Little did they know, Hou Cheng and the others were already ready to do it.

Countless arrows flashing with cold light flew towards Xiapi city. Some soldiers and civilians in the city picked up the letter, and everyone gathered around to read the letter.

"What's written on it? Read it and listen!" one of them asked eagerly.

"You don't know how to read it yourself!" the man dissatisfied.

"Except for you among us, everyone is illiterate, and it's not like you don't know! Don't blot! Come and listen to it!" Another person said.

The man read: "Prime Minister Li Song is under the edict of the Son of Heaven! To crusade against the rebel Lv Bu, the soldiers and civilians in Xiapi City, whoever surrenders with this letter will be exonerated from all crimes! If there is any resistance, the punishment will be punished! If there is, the head of the thief Lv Bu will be beheaded , the imperial court will definitely reward you, and you will be promoted to a higher rank!"

The soldiers and civilians in the city were talking about this letter, and there were signs of Kaesong surrendering. After Lu Bu saw this letter, he was furious!strict order!Those who criticize this matter in the city will be executed immediately.

Suddenly, everyone in Xiapi City was in danger!

late at night!After Lu Bu fell asleep, Hou Cheng and others led their cronies and quietly sneaked into Lu Bu's bedroom, stole Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd, tied up Lu Bu, and Lu Bu woke up!But he couldn't break free from the rope on his body.

The next day, Li Song ordered Tan Daoji to be the vanguard and lead the army to attack Xiapi City. Tan Daoji led the troops to the east gate, and saw Hou Cheng and others standing on the city, but they did not see Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

Just when Tan Daoji was puzzled, Hou Cheng shouted: "We have captured Lu Bu alive! Please trouble the general to go back and report to the prime minister!"

Tan Daoji smiled in his heart, it's ridiculous to try to hide this little trick from me!
Tan Daoji shouted to Hou Cheng and others in the city: "I have seen through your little tricks, don't try to lie to me!"

"This general! Everything we said is true! There is absolutely no lie! Please also believe in my intention to surrender!" Song Xian shouted.
