I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 23 Yiyang Weiyan
Chapter 23 Yiyang Weiyan
Nanyang!

The place where the north and the south are at the crossroads!

Nanyang is close to Wuguan in the west, Luoyang in the north, Jingxiang in the south, and Yingchuan and Runan in the east.

It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Nanyang has a population of over one million, and the population is thriving. Merchants from the north and the south have also made Nanyang economically developed.

It can be said that it has a lot of people and wealth, and it is a famous and prosperous place in the world today.

Zhang Xiu, the governor of Nanyang County, has no ambitions, but only wants to guard his own Nanyang County.

Thanks to his reputation as the Northland Spear King, there are no bandits in Nanyang, but it has attracted many refugees and made Nanyang more prosperous.

If it weren't for the fact that Runan in the east is now raging with war, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are fighting in full swing, Nanyang may be even more prosperous.

The place where Nanyang meets Runan is called Luyang.

Luyang is a place on the border of Nanyang, and has hoarded a lot of soldiers and horses.

Especially when it was recently learned that Lu Bu's army had entered Runan and was marching towards Nanyang, Lu Yang's troops had even reached [-] troops!
There are only more than [-] soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu took out a quarter of them just to guard against Lu Bu!

But even so, Lu Yang was broken!

Fifty thousand troops are approaching the city!

There are many spears with cold lights, like a jungle!

Thousands of archers drew their bows and set arrows, and the dense rain of arrows fell, constantly reaping the lives of Luyang defenders!

Catapults threw huge boulders onto the city wall, and the broken stones splashed. The Luyang defenders were beaten and cried, in a panic!
Lu Bu stood in front of the army riding a red rabbit horse, looking at the defenders in Luyang City with cold eyes, and when Lu Bu raised his hand, the world fell silent.

Although the trebuchet and the rain of arrows stopped, the chill in the air became heavier and heavier.

Lu Bu looked at the guards on the Luyang city wall, and said coldly: "Surrender at the beginning, you can avoid death, otherwise, when the city is broken, no one will be left behind!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The master of fifty thousand tigers and wolves shouted loudly!

The sound of shouting and killing shook the heaven and earth, making the sky change color!

The killing intent in the air became more and more obvious, the cold wind was chilling, and the atmosphere of the imminent battle made the Luyang defenders almost breathless!
How can these defenders who have been in peace for a long time compare with Lu Bu's elite in all battles?
Even infantry have experienced many battles, especially the Yanzhou soldiers under the original Cao Cao and the Jiangdong soldiers under Sun Ce.

Those are all veterans who fought with Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

Even the soldiers and horses from Lujiang and Guangling trained for many days with Gao Shun, much better than the defenders in Nanyang!

The defenders on the city looked at Lu Bu and the endless enemy army with trepidation, they were terrified!

They don't want to die, they want to live.

"My lord, why don't we surrender?" A defender couldn't help but said to the general.

It's cold!

Before the defender could react, he was beheaded by the defender!
Holding the sword still bleeding, the guard said angrily: "The whole army fights to the death! I would rather die than surrender!"

Before he finished speaking, the guard felt a chill in his chest, followed by the loss of strength.

Looking at the sword stuck in his chest, the guard was stunned.

Behind the guard, a man dressed as an ordinary soldier looked at the stunned guard coldly and said, "I'm sorry, General. You want to fight to the death to fulfill your loyalty, but we don't want to die."

After a while,

A white flag was hung on the wall of Luyang City.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of Luyang city opened,

The defenders of Luyang all went out of the city and put down their weapons.

Lu Bu watched this scene and nodded, "Go to the city!"

Tread, step, step!

The sound of horseshoes is crisp, getting closer.

Lu Bu came to the city gate on a red rabbit horse, looked at the surrendered soldiers kneeling on the ground and the surprised head, and asked, "Who killed the guard?"

"I killed it." The ordinary soldier stood up.

Lu Bu looked at the soldier, his face was expressionless, as if he was doing something ordinary.

Especially, under Lu Bu's gaze, he didn't panic at all!
This is a character.

It is already rare to be able to remain calm and undisturbed under Lu Bu's watchful eyes. How many generals in the world can do this?
Lu Bu looked at the soldier and asked, "Your life, your native place."

"Yiyang, Wei Yan, the character Wenchang." The soldier said.

"Wei Yan?" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly.

It is said that Wei Yan has a rebellious bone in the back of his head, and he is a person who must rebel.

But in Lu Bu's view, this is not the case.

Wei Yan is a realistic person, he betrayed the old master, but under Liu Bei's command, he was loyal, and he never disobeyed Liu Bei's orders.

Even if Liu Bei died, he still wanted to repay Liu Bei.

It's just that Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang disagree.

If Zhuge Liang went out of Ziwu Valley according to Wei Yan's opinion, the outcome of the Northern Expedition is still unknown.

Therefore, it's not that Wei Yan has rebellion in the back of his head, but that he hasn't met the right master.

The previous protagonist didn't trust him and suppressed him, so he rebelled.

And Liu Bei trusted him and was willing to entrust him with important tasks, so didn't Wei Yan also repay him with death?
Just like everyone in the world said that Lu Bu was treacherous,

It is said that Lu Bu's three surnames are house slaves.

But who knows Lu Bu's thoughts and the grievances in his heart?
He is obviously a natural born general, but under Ding Yuan's command, he is just a chief bookkeeper!
What is a master book?

Settle the bill!
Let Lu Bu, the flying general, settle the score!
Does Ding Yuan trust Lu Bu?
No!Not only do you distrust, but be on guard everywhere!
And Dong Zhuo!

Does Dong Zhuo trust Lu Bu?

Do not!
Dong Zhuo didn't trust Lu Bu either, otherwise why would he keep Lu Bu by his side?

His subordinates, Li Que and Guo Si, have been suppressing Lu Bu and robbing Lu Bu of food, grass and weapons. Has Dong Zhuo ever managed it?

No!

To put it bluntly, they didn't trust Lu Bu, they just regarded Lu Bu as a thug.

Lu Bu fought for the country for half his life, expelled the Huns from the north, repelled the aliens, and finally lost his reputation as a hero?

Looking at Wei Yan, Lu Bu thought of himself.

"Why did you betray the Lord?" Lu Bu asked.

Wei Yan looked at Lu Bu, with a look of unwillingness on his face: "I don't accept it!"

"I have read military books since I was a child, and I am proficient in martial arts. I came to Nanyang with sincerity. But Zhang Xiu underestimated me and sent me down here. The guards bullied me and suppressed me everywhere, so that now I am not as good as a group of leaders. , I refuse to accept it!"

After listening to Wei Yan's words, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's expressions were a little ugly.

In today's world, what we talk about is loyalty.

Even if the lord treats you unsatisfactorily, such a person who blatantly backs the old lord's rebellion is still repelled by people and is not recognized by the mainstream.

Looking at Wei Yan, seeing the unwillingness on Wei Yan's face, and seeing Wei Yan's tightly clenched fists, Lu Bu squinted his eyes: "It's not bad, I didn't say any lies about admiring my reputation. Let me ask you, if I'm going to kill you right now, how are you going to do it?"

Wei Yan said in a deep voice: "Wen Hou's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, I am invincible, but Wen Hou wants to kill me, I am not willing to accept my fate, I will definitely rise up and fight back!"

When Zhang Liao and Gao Shun heard this, they couldn't help but clenched their sabers tightly, and locked Wei Yan with murderous intent. Once Wei Yan made a move, he would be greeted with a thunderous blow!
But when Lu Bu heard this, he laughed instead:
"Yes, it's not a lie. I like your ambition, but I don't know if you have the ability to match your ambition."

"Be a personal guard by my side, let me see your ability."
