Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 86 The Injury Is Little, The Insult Is Strong

In Rangcheng, a slightly bloated figure, Jia Xu, who is wearing a plain Confucian robe, is examining the letter in his hand with a pair of gloomy eyes.

After a long time, he slowly put down the silk cloth, and sneered, "It's the blessings of riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair, and it's the fate of pushing a cart to carry heavy loads. Everything comes from destiny, and you can't escape or escape after all.

Who would have thought that Lv Fengxian, the martial artist under Dong Zhuo's command in the past, who was scolded by the princes, would now set foot in two states and occupy seven counties. "

It is said that fifty knows the destiny. As the age grows, Jia Xu more and more agrees with the fate, so it seems extremely futile to try to change the fate by manpower.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they may all feel that Lu Bu has found a good son-in-law, which made him come back from the dead.

But from Jia Xu's point of view, this is the nobility that his Lu family deserves.

As it is today, it is already a head stronger than Dong Zhuo, who was once unparalleled in glory.

He stood up from the couch, then walked to the window sill, looked at the willow leaves fluttering in the wind outside the window and fell into deep thought, "Lv Bu, Lv Fengxian, this game of chess is not as good as Cao Mengde's."

Liu Biao's name is nothing more than a false name. In Jingzhou, he has already been excluded by the four major families. Rang City is not a place where he can stay for a long time, and he cannot be a watchdog for a lifetime.

Judging from the situation, Jia Xu is already leaning towards Cao Cao, but after the humiliation of Wancheng not long ago, he wanted to wait for Zhang Xiu to suffer in Jingzhou before suggesting to him to vote for Cao Cao, and he had completed his identity change.

Now it seems that this matter may have to be done elsewhere.

In private, he still has some friendship with Lu Bu, and he also knows Cao Cao, but the friendship is obviously not as good as Lu Bu's.

Yu Gong, to go to Cao Ying, you have to wear the hat of a surrendered minister, and go to Lu Ying. He invited me to go, the difference is not small.

The two wars are imminent, and the smell of wolf smoke can be smelled more than 800 miles away.

But even if Lu Bu is really defeated, he will not be buried in the end.

"Sir, sir!"

A sergeant ran in, bowed and said, "My lord, please come to the school grounds!"

"Understood." After Jia Xu waved his hand, he put the silk cloth under his sleeve.

Jia's Mansion is not far from the General's Mansion where Zhang Xiu lived, just across the street, but to go to the school grounds, you have to ride a horse faster.

When they arrived at the school grounds, the soldiers were carrying bags of grain from the carriage into the camp.

"General, it seems that Liu Biao didn't want to procrastinate on this season's food and grass, and the portion seems to be quite a lot." After dismounting, Jia Xu walked to Zhang Xiu's side.

"Lü Bu sent a total of [-] shi. He wrote to me, remembering the past friendship, and he couldn't bear the cold eyes of me being sent under the fence. He sent these grains and grass. If you want, you can also go to Xuzhou to seek a great cause with him."

Zhang Xiu sighed lightly, and said with some shame: "When I was in Luoyang, I really shouldn't have bullied him as an enemy general."

The war in Guanzhong has been smoked for many years, the people's livelihood has been poor, and the brothers are so poor that they are almost out of control, otherwise they would not come to Jingzhou to plunder.

The food Liu Biao sent back last time was only five thousand shi, which is not enough for the brothers to spend for a season.

At this time, the [-] shi of food and grass sent by Lu Bu was like a timely gift to Zhang Xiu, and it was hard not to feel grateful.

Jia Xu squinted her eyes and twirled her gray beard, attacking both sides at the same time, it seems that Lu Bu really came prepared and determined to win.

"What does the general think?" Jia Xu took the initiative to open the topic.

"Although there was some gap with him in the past, but now he takes the initiative to send food, obviously to clear up the past."

Appreciation appeared on Zhang Xiu's face, and then his eyes sank, "And what he said is right, I have a common enemy with him, that is Cao Cao, if we don't join hands, we will be annexed by Cao Cao sooner or later."

After speaking, he looked at Jia Xu, obviously asking for advice.

Jia Xu clasped his hands in front of him, but did not answer right away. After thinking for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "What the general said is reasonable. In Jingzhou, Liu Biao is not even willing to allocate food and grass. If Cao Jun comes to attack, we will wait for you." It must be the first to bear the brunt, and it is wise for a gentleman not to stand under a dangerous wall and leave early."

I didn't say anything. It's a fact that life here in Jingzhou is difficult. As for whether to go or not, you can make up your own mind. I don't object.

Zhang Xiu thought about it carefully, Jingzhou is really not worth staying, go to Lu Bu, I only have 8000 people left under my command, and he didn't look down on me, he even called me a brother, much stronger than Liu Biao.

Regardless of my intentions, the [-] shi grains and grasses are not fake after all.

With such a mind and structure, you can't go wrong if you agree with each other.

"Let's go to Geyang and Anfeng. I heard that Yuan Shu has been indulging in singing and music, being extravagant and lustful there. There have been several mutinies among his subordinates. He can't take care of himself. We shouldn't be in trouble if we borrow from there."

"Very good, very good." Jia Xu still clasped his hands and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's write back, and choose another day to go east." Zhang Xiu was in a good mood, and he didn't want to look at people's faces here for a long time. When he went to Xuzhou, even if he wanted to serve Lu Bu as the master, this guy would not humiliate himself like Cao Cao .

What's more, brothers don't have to go hungry anymore.

No matter how you calculate it, this deal is not a loss.

In Guangling City, Sun Ce took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Tai Shici and others, and stayed with the soldiers in the school yard without closing their eyes all night.

Help bandage the wounded, comfort those who have lingering fears, and encourage those who are trembling. In short, it is to stabilize the morale of the soldiers.

At the same time, Zhou Yu called the sergeants who were going to defend the city tomorrow to mobilize before the battle.

"The Thunderbolt Chariot is indeed powerful, but it is far from being able to destroy the defenses of Guangling City. When they throw boulders, we can hide behind the city wall, which means that the tung oil will be more troublesome.

But tung oil is not a stone that can be taken everywhere. If the attack is like today, the tung oil in the bandit army will definitely not last for two days. "

In this era, tung oil is an important material for both military and civilian purposes, but the output is not so high that it can be bought anywhere. In addition, the purchases of all parties have become more intensive in these years of war. Eight Perak cars were built in this way.

After hearing this, the soldiers felt that it made sense, and they didn't feel so panicked in their hearts.

"There is one more thing, I don't want to disclose it, but I think it's brothers who share fate, so it's okay to talk about it. The frontline military newspaper, Cao Cao is already dispatching troops, preparing food and grass, and will soon use troops against Pengcheng. At that time, Lu Bu will die without a place to bury him."

Sometimes, in order to appease the sergeant and boost morale, lying is a very normal means.

Not very ethical, but you have to admit, it works.

When the soldiers heard that Cao Cao was about to backstab Lv Bu, their hearts, which had been calmed down from the fear of war, immediately became excited.

It's a good thing, as long as Cao Jun arrives, Lu Bu will definitely come back to help. Even if he doesn't chase after that time, the credit for defending the city can be exchanged for some money.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Lies are naturally lies, but he believed that as long as Lu Bujun ran out of tung oil, they would be unable to do anything but swear at the city gate.

storm?

Not to mention the four-foot-high city wall of Guangling City, the moat at the entrance is not a decoration either.

When the sky turned pale, Lu Bu led his people and set off. Today's morale was obviously higher than yesterday's. Many soldiers who stayed behind in the camp wanted to see the power of the Thunderbolt Chariot.

The soldiers seemed to be willing to believe that Guangling City could be captured with eight Perak chariots.

After resting all night, Lin Mo's condition has recovered a lot, and he is ready to continue to conquer his psychological limit.

When they came to the front line, the soldiers had already pushed all the Perak cars to the city gate.

According to the old rules, the messengers ran to the city gate with the flag and shouted first, and thought about it for half an hour. If they don't open the city, they will beat you.

It's still yesterday's old routine, greet him with a boulder first.

But today, the defenders at the city gate were obviously prepared. Seeing that the thunderbolt cart was loaded into the boulder, they immediately leaned against the city wall. Even the soldiers and war drums were placed inside to ensure that they would not be so easy to be smashed.

Seven or eight rounds of huge boulders flew up, but they also smashed gaps in the edges of some city walls, and rolled up a lot of dust, but other than that, there was not much gain.

"Use tung oil, burn with tung oil!" Lu Bu shouted impatiently.

Then, the way of tung oil fire began.

This method is indeed very effective, as long as it is thrown on the tung oil altar of the Chengguan, once it explodes, you can always hear heart-piercing screams, and from time to time you can see people jumping off the Chengguan.

However, the other party seems to have a way to deal with it. Once the oil is splashed on the body, the surrounding defenders will cover the prepared sand on the fire. off.

Of course, serious injuries are inevitable.

In this era when medical conditions are not up to standard, there is no concept of sterility. People who are burnt and torn to pieces will not die on the spot, but they will also be infected and doomed.

Those with minor burns are okay, and they have a chance to save their lives.

In any case, using sand to put out the fire finally seemed to have a countermeasure, and the soldiers would not panic as they did on the first day.

Not long after, the thunderbolt chariot that originally threw the tung oil altar was changed to throw a boulder.

"What's the matter, use tung oil!" Lu Bu shouted.

"Marquis Wen, this tung oil is limited, and there is not much left, so we have to save it."

Liu Ye swallowed in embarrassment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "But Don't worry, Marquis Wen, I still have my back."

Then, Liu Ye's backhand made Lu Bu feel black.

I saw the Thunderbolt Chariot throwing eight jars again. This time, after smashing open the city gate, there was no fire, but sticky matter splashed everywhere.

A soldier who was splashed all over grabbed a handful and sniffed it, and his expression was painful.

"What is it?"

"If you guessed correctly, it should be golden juice."

"Damn, these bastards!"

Even Cheng Pu, who was supervising the battle, was splashed half of his body, and he was so angry that he cursed.

Little harm, but highly insulting.

Lu Lingqi shook her head, and looked at Lin Mo, "You are right, it seems that this Thunderbolt car is not as powerful as I thought."

Lin Mo sneered and sighed: "I hope I guessed wrong, but the Jiangdong soldiers on the opposite side are extremely resilient. The thunderbolt car can scare them for a while, but it is impossible to make them surrender."

Liu Ye didn't seem to bother to investigate whether it would be of great effect, and happily yelled at people to continue throwing gold juice on it. Lu Bu felt that this approach was really unworthy, so he turned his horse's head and walked away helplessly.

This descendant of Empress Han is also a bit shameless in doing things.

In the afternoon, even the golden juice was used up, and Liu Ye sent people to collect stones, anyway, he couldn't do nothing when they came.

When I came back, I also brought a few hornet's nests wrapped in cloth.

When the hornet's nest was thrown over the city gate, there was a scream, which caused everyone to laugh mockingly.

Golden juice is insulting at most, but hornets can really kill people. Unfortunately, the number is limited, only three were found, but it has already caused a riot in the city gate.

When the army retreated at dusk, all the defenders at the city gate were stung with bruised noses and swollen faces.

"It's not a way to go on like this. They can't hold on to it, and the tung oil is used up again. What should I do?" Lu Bu paced back and forth in the camp of the Chinese army, with anxious emotions on his face.

When I came here, I wanted to pierce through the Guangling city defenses with a thunderbolt car, so I didn't bring many people, and it was useless to attack by force.

After all, procrastination like this is not an option, as it cannot afford to consume the food and grass of so many people, if Sun Ce, like Ji Ling, does not come out for half a year, it is impossible for him to wait here for half a year.

"If you don't let the last general lead the troops to challenge again, try to lure Sun Ce!" Xu Sheng was anxious to make a contribution but didn't know what to do, and he seemed to be in a hurry to go to the doctor.

Lu Bu glanced at him, but ignored him.

If they were willing to come out, they would have come out long ago, why wait until today.

Liu Ye also realized the seriousness of the matter, put away his playfulness during the day and thought seriously.

After a while, he calmed down and said: "For the current plan, we can only find a city wall that is more damaged, and gather eight Thunderbolt chariots to smash it violently, or we can smash the vacancy, so that the army can enter and exit freely."

Hearing this, Lu Bu stopped pacing, and lowered his head to think, thinking that this method is also worth a try.

Although the city walls of Guangling City are built with blue bricks on the surface of rammed earth, after years of exposure to wind and rain, there will always be weak spots.

"What did Yunwen say?" At critical moments, Lu Bu would subconsciously look at Lin Mo.

Even if everyone lost their minds, he believed that his son-in-law would point out a way.

"You can try Zi Yang's method. If it really doesn't work, I will try to lure Sun Ce out. As long as I succeed all the way, Guangling can go down."

Lu Bu was slightly startled, and then sighed a little disappointed: "They don't want to go out of the city after such an onslaught by the thunderbolt chariot. It's impossible to lure them out."

"It depends on how to lead." Lin Mo said with a calm smile.

"You already have a solution?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, thinking that what he just said was helpless, but it turned out to be targeted, "Quickly tell me, how to lure the enemy!"

Lu Bu was gearing up excitedly, while Gao Shun, Xu Sheng and the others looked at Lin Mo expectantly.

If this allowed them to come out, they would never be given a chance to go back.

Liu Ye turned his head slightly and stared at Lin Mo. He didn't expect to use any method to catch people in the city.

The methods used to lure the enemy out of the city are roughly the same, such as deliberately exposing flaws, pretending to be reinforcements, or using food and grass as a lure, but these probably won't work.

"My son-in-law has made arrangements for this matter yesterday, and Sun Ce will probably be unable to resist leaving the city when Ruo Rong arrives from Haixi."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, Lu Bu's eyes twitched twice, and it was Ruo Rong again. This is a name that makes me sick.

"This is a big matter, don't let it go, how could Ruo Rong have such great abilities, what exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that Lu Bu was a little impatient, Lin Mo didn't hide it, and immediately told the whole plan.

After hearing Lin Mo's deployment, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Lu Bu laughed dryly, then licked the corners of his mouth, "Okay, Yunwen, you have to be the one who is scheming. As long as Sun Ce dares to leave the city, he will be reunited with Sun Jian!"

Sure enough, you have to take my son-in-law with you wherever you go, and you will be in a stalemate, and you can use our shortcomings to lure Sun Ce in an instant.

Thinking about it seriously, it seems that apart from this method, there is really no way to break the city.

Alas, although Ziyang's thunderbolt car is extremely powerful, Yunwen still has to shoulder this burden after all.

"Excellent, excellent! Yunwen's plan is not inferior to the method of flooding the Lujiang River that day. It is a good method and a good plan.

What's even more commendable is that Yunwen has already understood today's predicament and made arrangements in advance, which I admire. "Liu Ye laughed out loud.

He is not a person who would be jealous of other people's talents, and Lin Mo's method, after all, relied on his thunderbolt car. Thinking about it this way, I feel very comfortable.

Because after the news spread, people would definitely say that it was Liu Ye and Lin Mo who teamed up to destroy Sun Ce, hehe, so my Thunderbolt car can still be famous all over the world.

"Where, if there is no Ziyang's thunderbolt car, this kind of scheming is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. In the final analysis, Ziyang deserves more credit."

"Yunwen is humble." Liu Ye smiled even more happily.

Lu Bu is also very satisfied, um, it should be like this, I am afraid that you will steal credit, Yun Wen's words are comforting for the father, knowing that he is the identity of the Lu family, not the role of a counselor.

Not bad, it's slowly taking over.

As for what's next, it's up to Fang Tian, ​​who is his father, to teach Sun Ce how to be a man.
