Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"But Marquis Wen is different. Not to mention that Marquis Wen and Li Yi have always been friends, Li Yi must not have much defense against Marquis Wen. The key is that no matter how Marquis Wen mobilizes troops in the city, Li Yi can't detect it. Hou then took the lead, so it wasn't my lord who deliberately let Marquis Wen take on the important task, but Marquis Wen was the only one who could do it!"

Lu Bu snorted softly, and said with a sneer, "My soldiers and horses have to go out of the city, line up, and dispatch. It's all time, and Cao Cao's army is just outside the city, so just turn around and kill them. How do you look at it?" It's more convenient than me!"

"Marquis Wen!"

Seeing that Lu Bu was so reticent, Xi Zhong was really anxious, and at the same time, he glanced at Chen Gong next to him with hatred. If it wasn't for Chen Gong's obstruction, this matter would have been settled long ago.

Cao Cao arranged for Xi Zhongmi to meet with Lu Bu, which was about the same time as Xun Yu asked to see Li Yi.

At that time, Cao Cao didn't know that Li Yi would entertain him on the second day, so Cao Cao's plan was to fix it first and paralyze Li Yi. On the third day, he would send troops to attack the city of Changyi. Lu Bu pretended to be invincible and asked Li Yi for help. When Li Yi's reinforcements arrived, Lu Bu suddenly rushed out from other city gates and attacked the flanks of Li Yi's reinforcements. Li Yi's reinforcements were easily in a hurry when they were unprepared, and when Li Yi's troops were in chaos, Cao Cao would also turn around The army array attacked Li Yi from the front.

According to Cao Cao's plan, he practiced with Lu Bu to defeat Li Yi's reinforcements in the shortest possible time, and then they could drive the defeated soldiers back to Li Yi's camp.

At this time, it was time to gamble on whether they could break through Li Yi's camp in one go.

If Li Yi's camp is vulnerable and broken directly, then even though Li Yi has an army of [-], it is too late to organize an formation, and he can only be a panicked lamb in front of their charge, trampled and killed by them.

On the contrary, if Li Yi withstood the first strong attack and had time to rectify the troops, then Cao Cao and Lu Bu would be more dangerous. Even if they were not directly defeated by Li Yi's counterattack and saved the temporary draw, Facing Li Yi's subsequent revenge, he still has to lose.

Cao Cao's strategy was not very good, and it was even a fight, but it was one of the few opportunities to turn things around under the current situation. Therefore, Xizhong secretly entered the city and told Lu Bu about the plan.

Two days ago, Lu Bu was pissed off by Lu Su, so he forced Cao Cao back by threatening him. However, Lu Bu didn't have any specific countermeasures. His actions at that time were more or less broken, forcing Cao Cao into the water. .

Because he had no idea, after listening to Xi Zhong's narration, Lu Bu felt that this method was feasible, so he wanted to agree, but what Xi Zhong didn't expect was that when Lu Bu was about to make a decision, Chen Gong asked, why not Let Cao Cao attack Li Yi first?

Lu Bu was already good at military affairs, but he was too anxious before and didn't think much about it. After hearing what Chen Gong said, he also immediately discovered the problem. Why should he be asked to take the lead?

For military experts like Lu Bu and Cao Cao, they just looked at Li Yi's barracks from the outside, and they knew that Li Yi's soldiers and horses were extremely disciplined, their morale was high, and what's more rare was that their morale was stable. They all adopted an offensive stance, but they agreed that Li Yi's troops were actually better at defense.

Then, the first person to attack Li Yi wanted to disrupt Li Yi's soldiers and horses with one blow. Hundreds of results.

This is not the worst, if Lu Bu and Li Yi fight, but Cao Cao deliberately delays, does not join the battlefield in time, and allows Lu Bu's troops to continue to be consumed, then after the battle, even if Li Yi loses, Lu Bu will be the winner Is it?

Lu Bu and Cao Cao are not real allies. On the contrary, their hatred is as deep as the sea. It's just that Li Yi is too powerful, which makes them have to unite together. Once there is no foreign enemy like Li Yi, they still have to continue to work hard. This also means that not only must they defeat Li Yi, but they must also retain a certain amount of military strength.

Under such circumstances, how could Lu Bu be willing to be the first to confront Li Yi head-on? In all fairness, if Cao Cao was the first to confront Li Yi, Lu Bu would definitely delay the shot until the last moment. Naturally, Lu Bu would not believe it Cao Cao.

"Marquis Wen!"

Xi Zhong yelled again, but Lu Bu still had no intention of agreeing. Xi Zhong was a little helpless, and said anxiously: "If Marquis Wen doesn't agree, Zhong can only report back to my lord. This will demote Li Yi. Although there is no hope for his official career, But at least you can be a rich man!"

After Xi Zhong finished speaking, he got up and made a gesture to leave. Lu Bu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked at Chen Gong. There is no way to talk anymore, after all, Li Yi is still the enemy now.

Chen Gong coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "This is a mistake. If Cao Cao votes for Li Yi, he will surely die!"

Hearing the voice, Xi Zhong felt relieved, and then said with disdain in his eyes: "The public platform is alarmist. Although my lord and Li Yi have a rivalry, they have no enmity. How can you not be a rich man?"

Chen Gong laughed out loud, looked at Xi Zhong sympathetically, and said: "I will not hide the matter from you until now, when Marquis Wen entered Dongjun, and later raised troops to fight for Yanzhou, even though he was not appointed by Li Yi, it has a lot to do with Li Yi , You said, Li Yi worked so hard for Cao Cao, can he save his life?"

Xi Zhong's expression was a little ugly. Although he knew that Li Yi was targeting Cao Cao, Xi Zhong still felt uncomfortable when someone said it directly.

Seeing Chen Gong's appearance of winning, Xi Zhong sighed inwardly. He knew that it would be very difficult to force Lu Bu to attack Li Yi first. In this case, he could only agree to Lu Bu.

Unlike Lu Bu, Cao Cao was the one who put forward this strategy, and he kept back from the very beginning. Therefore, even if he paid a higher price, Cao Cao was sure that after defeating Li Yi, he would also clean up Lu Bu.

Xi Zhong looked sad, and was about to promise Cao Cao to send troops to Li Yi first, but suddenly, he shuddered, and then his face turned pale.

What Chen Gong said just now reappeared in Xi Zhong's mind. Since Li Yi targeted Cao Cao so hard, even when Li Yi was still the prefect, then suppose Li Yi paid more attention to Cao Cao than the Yanzhou war itself , what will Li Yi do now?

Thinking of this, Xi Zhong turned pale again.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong saw Xi Zhong's complexion suddenly changed, and they were surprised when they saw a personal guard rushing in quickly, without even caring to salute, they shouted directly: "General, something is not right, the army of the Marquis of Xiang outside the city is moving. Let's go all the way to Cao Cao, all the way to the city!"

Chapter 671 Loyalty is gone, my lord, don't read it!

"what!"

Lu Bu and Chen Gong's expressions changed suddenly, and they all exclaimed in surprise, especially Lu Bu, whose eyes couldn't help revealing a deep sense of panic.

Regardless of Lu Bu's superb martial arts skills, he is the number one warrior in the Three Kingdoms, but his high martial arts skills cannot prevent Lu Bu from being afraid of death.

But Xi Zhong, who had already noticed the omission before, felt dizzy at this moment, his heart was throbbing, his body swayed a few times, and he almost fell down.

Chen Gong was the first to come back to his senses, took a few steps forward, pulled his guards and shouted: "How many Li Yi's troops are there, whether they are attacking or besieging the city, can you see clearly?"

The personal guard was already flustered, but when he saw Lu Bu's lost mind, his heart was completely confused, and he stammered, "No, I didn't see clearly."

"waste!"

Chen Gong was also in a hurry, he pushed the guards away, then turned around and shouted to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, hurry up and organize the army!"

Hearing Chen Gong's yell, Lu Bu was startled, and finally came back to his senses a little bit, got up hurriedly, and said in a flustered expression: "Yes, correct the army, let's go, go to the south, no, go to the east gate!"

The matter was urgent, and neither of them had the time to manage Xi Zhong, but Xi Zhong also followed. Originally, Xi Zhong's entry into the city was a very secret matter, only a very few people knew about it, but now that there are such drastic changes, those side details are natural. I can't care less.

The three of them were very fast. After leaving Lu Bu's mansion, they got on their horses and headed straight to the east of the city. On the way, Lu Bu also met Hao Meng and Cheng Lian who came after hearing the news. After seeing Xi Zhong, Hao Meng and Cheng Lian couldn't help but change slightly in their eyes.

Lu Bu fought Cao Cao for so long, and had contact with envoys several times along the way, so they all recognized Xi Zhong.

At such a tense time, Cao Cao, the envoy of the enemy, unexpectedly appeared in the city and accompanied Lu Bu, while Li Yi was an ally of Lu Bu, but suddenly used troops. Could there be some relationship between this?

As a result, their eyes were a bit unkind when watching the play.

Normally, Yi Zhong's wit would definitely have noticed this change, but now, he was so anxious that he had no time to guess what Hao Meng and the others were thinking, and even if he knew, he couldn't care less.

After the group arrived at the east gate, they heard faint shouts from outside the city gate, which made Lu Bu feel even more panicked. Fortunately, when he climbed up the tower, he saw that Gao Shun had arranged troops to stand guard on the city wall, and There was no real fight, so I was a little relieved.

Seeing Lu Bu appearing, Gao Shun felt relieved, and then he wanted to report the situation for Lu Bu, but when he approached and saw Xi Zhong beside Lu Bu, he paused, then stopped talking, his eyes looked sad.

Lu Bu also noticed that Gao Shun's expression was not right, and he said in his heart that he was sorry, but he really didn't have the time to explain the situation, so he could only pretend not to know, and asked, "Boping, what's going on outside the city, Li Yi Why attack the city?"

Gao Shun also tried not to think about those troublesome things, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lu Bu, saying: "This is a letter shot from outside, there are more than ten letters, there should be some other gates."

Lu Bu opened it and saw that there were only two lines on it: "Today, the soldiers and horses in the city are not allowed to leave the city to seek thieves, otherwise they will be treated as vassals of Cao thieves!"

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, he clenched the letter into a ball, walked quickly to the parapet, looked out, and saw a soldier and horse of about 2000 men outside the city gate, forming a square formation to block the outside of the city gate, although There were not many people, but [-] people stood still, and the pressure on Lu Bu was not small.

Fortunately, these people did not bring siege equipment, and according to what was said in the letter just now, they probably did not intend to attack the city.

I don't know if it was because of Lv Bu's probe, the army of more than 2000 people suddenly shouted in unison: "Please report to Marquis Wen, my lord will kill Cao Cao for Yanzhou today. Marquis Wen, please restrain the troops. Don't send people out of the city, this is the military order of the Marquis Xiang, anyone who violates it will be killed without mercy!"

Lu Bu's face turned red immediately, he was ashamed and angry. Is Li Yi giving him a military order?

And it was in front of many soldiers in the city!

It's really deceiving!

Lu Bu's expression was cloudy and uncertain, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the side. Lu Bu looked, but it was Xi Zhong's eyes widening, stretching out his hands into the distance, his arms trembling, and his expression frightened.
