Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Chen Deng raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Zhou Yu paused, and then asked: "But if this is the case, if Lu Bu simply votes for Yuan Shu, combined with Yuan Shu's strength and Lu Bu's bravery, even if you capture Xiapi, how long can you hold it?"

Chen Deng's face changed slightly: "If Lu Bu can seek help, can't I?"

"Looking for Cao Cao?" This time, Li Mu finally kept up with the rhythm of the two people coming and going, and immediately caught the implication of his words, "You are against Lv Bu, isn't it because Lv Bu plundered Sheng, tyrannized For no reason, instead of being able to protect Xuzhou, has it caused more harassment? But Cao Cao slaughtered the city in Xuzhou! How is it different from Lu Bu?"

Historically, Chen Deng sought Cao Cao's great help, and completely strangled Lu Bu, the tiger, in front of the Baimen Tower.It's just that Chen Deng's choice made Li Mu very puzzled, and he couldn't figure it out.Chen Deng represented the interests of the Xuzhou family, so why would he seek refuge with Cao Cao who had slaughtered the city in Xuzhou?If it is said that Cao Cao never committed another crime, but when Chen Deng voted for Cao Cao, he couldn't predict the future, so why should he trust Cao Cao!

He could trust Cao Cao who slaughtered the city and voted for Cao Cao.What about Zhou Yu, who was born in a family?

"Of course there is a difference." Zhou Yu glanced at her, as if surprised that she still knew that Cao Cao had slaughtered Xuzhou, but quickly stopped, nodded to her, and then turned to Chen Deng, with a subtle arc on his lips Between the eyebrows, as sharp as a drawn sword, "Lu Bu plundered Xuzhou because he was used to being with Dong Zhuo back then. He was short-sighted and reckless, focused on profit, and didn't think about governance. But why did Cao Cao slaughter the city? Maybe you don’t know, but you, Chen Yuanlong, don’t know either?”

After Chen Deng finished talking about his plan, he was about to ask who they were. Hearing this, his face suddenly sank, and he turned pale coldly.

Of course he knew.

In this era, aristocratic families and wealthy families are intertwined, and a powerful one will immediately take refuge in the past, just to keep his family from being slaughtered and not hurting his vitality.As long as their interests are not harmed, there is actually not much difference between them whether they take refuge with someone surnamed Cao or someone surnamed Liu.Even once you take refuge, if the situation changes, or if you feel dissatisfied, you can immediately change the family.

Just as he is doing now.

Falling today, turning back tomorrow, Cao Cao is not the only one who sees this, but Cao Cao is the only one who raises the butcher's knife.

"Don't you think that Cao Cao flattered the emperor and took up the great righteousness? Returning to Cao means returning to Han. In the future, as long as the people you vote for also have the name of serving Han, Cao Cao can't do anything to you?" Zhou Yu sneered, "Could it be Yuanlong?" Forgot, why did Bian Rang, a famous scholar in Jiujiang, die?"

Chen Deng raised his head suddenly, and his hands tied behind his back suddenly clenched tightly, with such force that the thick rope was buckled into his wrist, but he didn't realize it, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Bian Rang, a famous scholar in Jiujiang, represented the famous gentry in Dagon Prefecture. It seemed that he was decapitated by Cao Cao for saying a few ironic words, but the reason why he satirized Cao Cao was precisely because Cao Cao slaughtered the city of Xuzhou first!

Slaughtering Xuzhou first, and then killing the border, Cao Cao's eyes not only fell on the princes from all walks of life who ruled all over the country, but also looked fierce when he looked at the aristocratic families who had been entrenched in each state for a hundred years!

If Cao Cao arrives in Xuzhou...

Knowing that Zhou Yu deliberately exaggerated Cao Cao's actions, he overthrew his calculations step by step.In the whole world, even the emperor of the Han family can't uproot all the aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years!However, thinking of the bloody scene in Xuzhou a few years ago, Cao Jun was everywhere, chickens and dogs were gone, and there were no pedestrians in the ruins, Chen Deng's heart beat like a pounding, and his face was ashen.

Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence is true, but without Cao Cao's support behind him, Liu Bei would not even have enough troops to defend a small Pei County, let alone a state.Land of one state!Chen Deng was not sure whether Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness would be able to resist Cao Cao's butcher knife for his family when Cao Cao sent him the entire rich Xuzhou land in front of him!

That was the life of his entire clan, he didn't dare to bet at all!

Just when Li Mu thought that Zhou Yu was going to persuade her to surrender, Zhou Yu easily bowed to Chen Deng, pulled her back and left.

Chen Deng has revealed enough information!

In normal times, for such a character, born in a wealthy family in Xiapi, and has always had a good official reputation in Xuzhou, he would not mind spending more time and energy recruiting one more talent for Sun Ce, but now is not the time.

He had originally planned that Lv Bu's defeated army would flee to Xiapi, with broken horses and armor, and panic. If there is chaos, there is a great chance of winning the city gate.But now if the defenders in Xiapi City have surrendered, it is very likely that the first to come is not Lu Bu's defeated army, but Liu Bei who came to accept the surrender!

Isn't he coming here for nothing?

Zhou Yu came and went in a hurry, gathered generals and ordered troops, and re-arranged the formation.But Li Mu really couldn't hold it anymore—the appearance of Chen Deng, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu and the increasingly complicated situation blurred the clear historical line in her memory.

But no matter what, she always knew that Zhou Yu's previous plan might change now.As soon as she turned around, Zhou Yu was nowhere to be seen. She was not in a hurry to find it, so she found a corner and sat down, trying to calm down and think about it.

It's just that the more I think about it, the more I get a headache, and the exhaustion in my body also rises layer by layer.It was as if the tide of the night of the moon was slowly submerging her, wave after wave.

She didn't sleep for long, however.

Rumbling vibrations came from the ground to his ears. Li Mu just frowned, but before he opened his eyes, the thunderous drums and horns suddenly tore through the sky, as if an invisible hand had suddenly pinched a person's heart, knocking Li Mu to pieces. He jumped up from the ground in shock, raised his eyes and exclaimed, almost thinking that he was still in a dream.

A dense mass of soldiers, I don't know how many people there are, spread all over the mountains and plains, with forests of flags and thunderous drums, like a huge cloud, entrenched in a stone's throw outside Xiapi City.

At the top of Xiapi city, there was silence.

Zhou Yu intended to accompany Lu Bu's remnant army into the city, so the hill post he chose to ambush was behind a forest outside Xiapi. , the number of others is not large, and they are spread out to hide. If it is not intentional to climb the winding and rugged cliff mountain road, even if the scouts approach the forest mouth, they may not be able to find that there are soldiers hidden in this unattractive hill. horse.But looking out from their position, the head of Xiapi city is a little far away, and they can't see clearly, but the movement outside the city is condescending, and they can see clearly.

"Where is Zhang Liao?" Among the pawns, a horse suddenly jumped out and walked slowly towards the city gate. He was dressed in black and armored, and his voice was like thunder. Lv Bu is dead, why not surrender?" The words "Lv Bu is dead" were like shocking, causing a commotion on the originally quiet city wall of Xiapi City.

But Li Mu was still a little sleepy. For a while, he didn't understand why Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, one of Cao Cao's five good generals, were in Xiapi. When he heard that Lu Bu was dead, he was the first to think of Cao Cao's arrival, and his heart skipped a beat. The sluggish brain immediately became more than half awake.

Zhang Liao was originally a general under Lu Bu's command. After Lu Bu died in the Baimen Tower, he switched to Cao Cao.Wouldn't it be normal for Lu Bu to guard the next Pi at this time!So now... Lu Bu is dead?

Unexpectedly, the black-armored general at the foot of the mountain yelled again: "This is Zhang Fei from Yan! If you don't open the gate of the city, you will lead your army to flatten Xiapi!"

Is Liu Bei here?Not Cao Cao?

Li Mu looked far away, but there were too many soldiers, and there was indeed a big character on the banners fluttering in the wind, but the wind was not in the right direction, so she still couldn't see what it was.Even Zhang Fei's figure, if he hadn't swept out the crowd, would have been nothing more than a black shadow in her eyes.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden movement on the city wall.Dozens of strong bows were mounted on the wall, and the arrows of feathered arrows reflected a golden and cold light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Zhang Fei pulled the rein, the steed let out a long neigh, and backed up a few steps.

"Zhang Liao of Yanmen has been waiting for Uncle Liu Huang here for a long time, dare to ask where Captain Chen is? Liao has a few words to ask again in person." The city was backlit, and no one could be seen clearly, but if Li Mu hadn't known about Xiapi's guard before Liu Bei was surrendered under Chen Deng's lobbying, and there was no hint that he had been persuaded to surrender in his deep voice.

"Ask what!" Shocked by the strong bow, Zhang Fei was forced to retreat an arrow away. He seemed to have lost face. When he opened his mouth, it was as if a thunder had struck the sky. He was full of provocation, but he didn't say what he said next. He was drunk.

This time, Li Mu knew without having to look clearly—the one who could hold Zhang Fei down was naturally Liu Bei.

"What you said just now, what happened to my lord Lu Wenhou..." Under the hill, Zhang Liao hadn't finished his sentence when the soldiers behind Liu Bei picked up a long spear.

The bamboo Ge is more than two feet long, and the head of the Ge is as red as blood in the last sunlight, as if it had been put into a furnace.Facing the light, a human head was tied up—the head of Lu Bu!

The golden crown is skewed, and the bun is loose, but deliberately revealing his face towards the city.

"Bei and General Wenyuan... are both ministers of the Great Han, and General Jiumu is full of martial arts... But I never met... Bei is willing to hold arms with the General... With the righteousness of brothers, we will guard the territory of the Great Han and protect the people of the Great Han , General, please complete..." Liu Bei's voice was far inferior to Zhang Fei's, only a few words were carried over by the wind, but he could still hear the words sincere, polite and courteous, and the sentence "both ministers of the great man" was clear and awe-inspiring, Not to mention that Lu Bu's head hung high behind him.
