Lu's relatives

Chapter 323 Praying Mantis Hunting Cicada, The Oriole Has Followed

In the corridor of Linzi city gate, Tao Yingzai saw the scene outside the city where the battle was in full swing, and the shouts of killing in the city shook the sky, suddenly he had the will to die.

Without him, Tao Ying, who was surrounded by camp soldiers outside the city, "knows", a feeling of being betrayed by someone he believes is ridiculous, filling Tao Ying's heart.

If it is true that Kong Rong and even himself despised Lu Bu before, and only thought that Lu Bu was just a reckless man, how could he kill the country's traitors, save the emperor, and win the land of Qingxu and Xuzhou in just two years? ?How could it be easy to take out the troops in the rear camp and give people an opportunity out of thin air?

Seeing Kong Rong, who was lying on Wang Yue's back at this moment and running away in a hurry, it was obvious that the city layout that he had previously declared to be foolproof also ended in failure, and he was probably like himself. I was stunned by a stick, and I don't know if this is what Kong Rong used to say before. If the goal is not achieved, but the organs are exhausted and the means are exhausted, but in the end they can only end up with a bitter fruit?It's not clear that Kong Rong predicted Lu Bu's end, but why did the bad luck befall him and the others in the end.

Seeing Kong Rong approaching, the panicked expression on his old face couldn't hide the astonishment, as if he didn't expect the matter to develop to this stage, which made the old Tao family's vengeful Tao Ying, who was actually called a righteous man by Kong Rong and wanted to rely on them to seek Linzi, and even took himself as a "big gift" to make friends with them, could only sneer at this time.

"Second Young Master, don't do it!" Maybe Tao Ying's movement of slowly raising his sword was too weird. The Tao family guards who were guarding Tao Ying and thought they would support him finally discovered Tao Ying's abnormality.Originally, Chen Bing was outside the trapped camp, but he didn't continue to move. He just stared at the dozen or so people in the corridor of the city gate coldly, as if he was just watching with a cold eye like a cat playing with a mouse, and the pressure was already great enough.This time, the second young master of his own family came out again.The two Tao family guards who were nearby were ready to attack at any time.

"Don't worry! If you don't see that Kong Wenju, who is playing for fame and reputation, will come to an end, he will not seek death easily!" Tao Ying, who was about to hang the long sword on his neck, saw Kong Rong's face clearly. After that, he put it down slowly, and the gloomy look on his face became more and more gloomy, and he said with a sneer.

"Zicheng, why are you here? Could it be that the righteous soldiers did not arrive as promised? Forget it, I didn't expect Lu Bu to have made arrangements, which caused our plan to fall short. We should leave the city as soon as possible!" Kong There are countless pursuers behind him, and he has long since lost the demeanor of the former literary leader and sage family. After he came to Tao Ying's side and was put down by Wang Yue, his gray hair was too messy to comb. He didn't notice anything strange about Tao Ying, and he still hoped that he could be protected by Tao Ying's strong guards.

"Righteous soldiers? Heh!" There was a smile on Tao Ying's face, which looked pale and strange under the reflection of the snow, seeing that Kong Rong was still talking to him as usual at this time, as if nothing happened As before, I don't know whether to laugh at Kong Rong's behavior is too ridiculous, or to hate myself for not seeing that Kong Rong is such a person before, and he has no intention of mobilizing troops outside the city, but his murderous aura is solid Pressing down on the soldiers trapped in the "righteous soldiers" who didn't even dare to breathe aloud, Tao Ying smiled and said to Kong Rong: "The so-called righteous soldiers of Duke Wen Ju are outside the city at this time? I think What surprised Wen Jugong is why Tao is still alive now?"

"Huh? What does Zicheng mean by that?" Kong Rong was surprised by Tao Ying's attitude, which was unexpected by Tao Ying.Originally, under the city gate half-closed, Kong Rong also vaguely saw soldiers in black and black armor under the thick night outside the city. Not noticing Tao Ying's strangeness, he asked in a daze.

"Hmph! Don't the so-called righteous soldiers of Wen Jugong be those bandit soldiers who have already been captured?" Seeing that Kong Rong had arrived at this time, Tao Ying still put on such a disgusting look of surprise. , Suddenly the voice became a lot colder.

"What did Zicheng say? What bandit soldiers? It should be General Cao's army from Yanzhou, right? Didn't you, Tao Zicheng, personally go to contact the envoy sent by General Cao to Qingzhou? Why did you come here? Are you still talking nonsense?" Kong Rong was also a little angry, when is this, and the pursuers are coming, Tao Ying is still thinking about talking nonsense here, and he doesn't care about keeping secrets. After he said it, he almost wanted to put aside the face of some great Confucian and aristocratic family, and dragged Tao Ying's neck, who was obviously confused and frightened, to speak.

"What... what?" This time it was Tao Ying's turn to be surprised.Just now, I was still resentful for Kong Rong's attempt to kill someone with a knife, but this time I heard what Kong Rong said.Kong Rong is right. Because Kong Rong’s identity was too special, he showed up in Linzi too frequently, including some contact with Cao Cao and his elder brother, the pottery merchant. Tao Ying himself was in charge of it all the time. .

It's just that Zhang Kai and Yu Fang, who obviously have a big enmity with the Tao family, have something to do with Cao Cao?Could it be that he, Cao Cao, still hasn't given up on Qingzhou?

But no matter what Tao Ying thinks at this time, the most important thing right now is that he and Kong Rong have already been made dumplings by the Lu Bu army who seemed to appear suddenly, and they are trapped in the doorway of the north gate of Linzi, unable to advance or retreat. , but how to get out?

Kong Rong naturally saw his current situation clearly.A little bit of Tao Ying's thoughts also spontaneously emerged in his heart.He also roughly understood Cao Cao's thoughts.It's nothing more than wanting to be that kind of thing, but also wanting to set up a memorial archway. The covetousness of Qingzhou and the dilemma of how to seize it made Cao Cao send out people who seem to have nothing to do with Yanzhou, and even one of them has a big grudge against Cao Cao. To "cooperate" with myself, if Lu Bu really missed a move and was succeeded by Kong Rong, Cao Cao would naturally laugh in the name of the emperor. Even if he failed, it would actually have no loss for Cao Cao.And it can be left clean, even if someone suspects that this is Cao Cao's conspiracy, then Cao Cao will be able to talk about the "righteous men" sent here. General, it was just paying two insignificant heads, the benefits were all accepted by Cao Cao, and both left and right were invincible. It is no wonder that after Cao Cao was welcomed as Yanzhou Shepherd, within a short time The hinterland of the Central Plains was built like an iron bucket. Just because of this method of planning alone, Kong Rong, who was forced to "find another way" to imitate Situ Wang Yun, who died suddenly, could be compared to him. on the.But looking at the current situation, I didn't expect that even Cao Cao, who had such a "good idea" in the fight, would probably only get out of his body in the end. For this "loss", it is estimated that he can only knock down his teeth and swallow his blood , Gritting his teeth and admitting it.

But what's the use of saying this now?Obviously, no matter whether it is himself or Cao Cao, Tao Shang, the eldest son of Tao Qian who is "firmly" holding Lv Bu's army at Yuan Shu's place at this time, may have fallen into the trap when he was still excitedly thinking that he had a plan, according to Tao Ying. In Lu Bu's plan.

Think about how high-spirited you are before you act.Linzi is empty, except for some city defense soldiers who have been wiped out, the only guarding the grand prize is Gao Shunzai, the leader of the trapped camp who has lost the trapped camp.No matter how powerful he is, in Kong Rong's eyes, how can he compete with Cao Cao's "big army" of righteous soldiers outside the city!What's more, at that time, I will still have Lu Bu's family members as my trump card, so I believe that even if something happens, it will not hurt at all.This time, Qingzhou, which was stolen by Lv Bu, can be regarded as a gift to the emperor, so that the emperor can recognize the true face of this ungrateful and righteous person.

Until the leadership of Kong Rong took advantage of the loopholes in Qingzhou's refugee policy, relying on his status as a high priest in Qingzhou's governance, he secretly recruited the guards of the headquarters recruited in Beihai under the guise of enriching the servants of Jixia Academy. When Wang Yue and his apprentice went to "take" his amulet, he felt something was wrong.

Qin Xu's mansion is empty!Wang Yue's disciples, headed by Shi A, walked around inside twice, but did not find a single figure, which already made Kong Rong feel a little vigilant.But in Lu Bu's mansion, which was only a few dozen steps away, Kong Rong really understood what it meant to seek his own death.

Lu Bu's state pastoral mansion stood in the dark like a deep abyss, without the slightest movement, and Wang Yue's disciples also imitated the routine of searching for Qin Xu's mansion again with the intention of not alarming anyone, but this time it was Once inside, there was no sound.

Wang Yue, who was protecting Kong Rong outside, was alerted and was about to speak out to warn him, but he saw the gate of Lu Bu's mansion slowly open in the dark night.Although Kong Rong felt a little panic in his heart, after all, if he didn't find out what happened, Kong Rong would never be reconciled in his life.

In the end, Kong Rong was indeed willing...

Just when Kong Rong's stubborn temperament broke out at an inappropriate time, and he insisted on stepping into Lu Bu's mansion to see what happened, with a few slight sounds of flint rubbing, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the originally dark mansion. torches.A person who was absolutely unexpected to Kong Rong was sitting in front of the shadow wall in the front hall, facing the astonished Kong Rong with a sneer on his face.

Almost everyone around Kong Rong was stunned, that is, Wang Yue, the number one swordsman in the world, saw the opportunity quickly, after the arrows in the hands of the archers lying on both sides were glared by the sudden torches at first. , actually almost subconsciously made a movement that almost made everyone on the two sides stare, and ran away without saying a word.Only then did the embarrassing incident of "bad intentions" Kong Rong being caught upright be avoided.

However, this also made Kong Rong's prejudice against Wang Yue disappear immediately.Even though he was lying on Wang Yue's back to "escape for his life", his mind was completely focused on this unbelievable situation.

Lu Bu is back! ?And it suddenly appeared without any news!It turned out that there was no wind at all before!

It's unbelievable, this is definitely not a trick that Lu Bu, who is known as the world's most powerful general and the world's tiger, has always been known for his force!Even if he, Lu Fengxian, once held the post of marching chief in the Bingzhou Army, he would never have thought of such a chain of links. When people like himself thought that Lu Bu had already fallen into the trap, he had already fallen into Lu Bu's position. in the trap.It must be the strategy of his strategists, but who could it be?
Even at the current point where he can't advance or retreat, Kong Rong still couldn't help but want to know whose hands he was defeated by, even if he was beheaded by Lu Bu immediately, he had to be a ghost!Is it the young Guo Jia who is young and dissolute, but is regarded as the mastermind by Lu Bu, and the leader of the army is always around as a counselor?Not likely, Kong Rong had a detailed understanding of the high-level civil and military personnel under Lu Bu's command in order to know himself and the enemy. Although Guo Jia can be said to have exhaustive strategies, he is good at military strategy after all, and he often kills possible dangers The embryonic state, and the "low-level" strategy that ruthlessly punctures people's "hope" after being filled with people's "hope" like the current one, will not be scheming, leaving no trace, and very ethereal. Guo Jia can do it.

Or was it Jia Xu who was once defeated by Lu Bu and was entrusted by Dong Zhuo as his confidant?The vicious means of using tricks is quite similar, but it shouldn’t be. Although Kong Rong’s information on Jia Xu is lacklustre, Jia Xu’s sense of existence is really lacking since he returned to Qingzhou. Besides, it involves military mobilization, and Dare to leave an "empty city" to lure the enemy's strategy, even if it really came from Jia Xu's hands, it's no wonder that Lu Bu would easily adopt it.

Could it be that it was "again" him! ?

Kong Rong suddenly seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection with someone, and suddenly looked back, and saw a young figure among the pursuers who had approached this place behind him.
