Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 267 Lu Bu's Plan
Tongguan.

Wancheng army station.

Wenpin had just ordered his soldiers to set up camp and resist the cavalry of the princes in Guanzhong.

But I saw a soldier rushing over and said: "General, there is a young man outside the camp, who calls himself Zhang Ji, and is a staff member of the Sili Colonel Zhong Yao's tent!"

Wenpin breathed out.

Since this one came, he knew it without asking.

He must be asking for help.

However, he received an order from Wu Jun. His army was not to assist Cao Cao in defending the city.

On the contrary, it was to restrain Cao Cao.

Or in other words, it was to supervise the coming Cao Cao army.

Prevent Cao Cao from taking away the emperor and all civil and military officials from here.

However, despite saying this, after all, we are in alliance with Cao Cao, so we still need to have the proper etiquette.

Wenpin walked towards the commander's tent and said: "Find the generals and tell them that the imperial envoy is coming to see you. Then send someone to receive the envoy from the commander's tent and don't let him run around."

The soldier responded.

Wenpin came to the commander's tent.

Not long after, Lu Bu, Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong and others were seen rushing over.

Wenpin told everyone: "The imperial envoy coming here this time must be asking for help."

"Generals, the task we received is to supervise Cao Cao's army, not to assist."

"We need to have the proper etiquette."

"But remember, don't talk nonsense, let alone promise anything."

"It's best not to say anything, just look at my eyes and act."

Everyone responded in unison.

Not long after, I saw soldiers arriving with Zhang Ji.

Wenpin smiled and said: "Welcome!"

Zhang Ji glanced around, and finally glanced at Lu Bu.

Although this was his first time meeting Lu Bu.

However, this Lu Bu is so recognisable.

Lu Bu is a military commander from Bingzhou. He is taller and has rougher skin than the military commanders from Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

Moreover, the look of disdain in his eyes was something that other generals did not possess.

Zhang Ji quickly went through the relevant information about Lu Bu in his mind.

Lu Bu, known as the Flying General, was unparalleled in bravery.

Now, he is the father-in-law of Wuhou in Jiangdong.

He is lustful, brainless and impulsive.

Moreover, in Tancheng, Xuzhou, when faced with Wen Chou's cavalry raid, he abandoned the city and fled.

From all these aspects, it can be seen that Lu Bu is a person who is very easily provoked.

No wonder Captain Sili asked him to find a way to find Lu Bu!

Zhang Ji smiled and saluted Wenpin and said, "General, I am here to bring a message to the flying general."

Wenpin said "huh?"

Didn't this person ask for help from himself?

But looking for Lu Bu?

What is the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao?
Everyone looked at Lu Bu in confusion.

Lu Bu stared at Zhang Ji with wide eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, you and I don't know each other at all!"

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "It's true that the flying general doesn't recognize me, but as I said, I'm just here to tell you something."

Lu Bu then said: "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Ji said: "It's Ma Chao's words from Xiliang."

"The flying general doesn't know anything. Xiliang Ma Chao has already captured Chang'an."

"He has fifty thousand horsemen at his command."

"I don't know where he got the information from, but he mistakenly thought that the flying general was in Tongguan now."

"So, he specially sent an envoy outside Tongguan to speak to our Sili Xiaowei."

"What are you talking about? I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet the flying general in Tongguan in this life."

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth raised slightly.

Not bad!

Although he had no idea who Ma Chao was.

However, the fact that he knew himself but not Wenpin showed that he had become famous far and wide.

Lu Bu asked: "What else?"

Zhang Ji said with a serious face: "He also said that although the flying general is powerful, that is all in the past, and it is the courage of an ordinary man."

“The waves behind the river push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old.”

"Flying General, you are already a waste."

"He also said that the flying general should wash his neck quickly. When he leads his army to Tongguan, he will stab you to death with one shot."

"At that time, he will hang the body of the air general, dry it, and hang it outside the camp where it can be seen at any time."

"He wants everyone in the world to know that he, Ma Chao, is the bravest person in the world today."

The smile on Lu Bu's face turned into a gloomy one.

The next moment, he stood up and roared: "Young Ma Chao, how dare you despise me! Where is he? If I don't kill him today, I, Lu Bu, will be a coward!"

Wen Ping:"."

He finally figured out the purpose of the imperial envoy Zhang Jilai——

Through Lu Bu, let the reinforcements he brought this time assist Tongguan and jointly fight against the princes in Guanzhong.

Wenpin hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Flying General, please be patient!"

"Who knows what Ma Chao said?"

"It's just one-sided words from the envoy!"

He looked at Zhang Ji again and said in a deep voice: "Messenger, I have seen through your purpose. It is of no use to play this little trick to provoke the general in front of us."

"I received you today out of respect for the imperial court."

"You are playing tricks in front of us, which is really disgusting."

"Get out of here quickly!" "Otherwise, I will issue an order to expel you!"

Zhang Ji glanced at Wenpin, smiled and said, "Okay! But allow me to say a few final words."

Looking at Lu Bu, Zhang Ji said: "General Wenpin is calm, so it is understandable to doubt the purpose of my visit this time. However, I really just want to convey a message."

"If the flying general doesn't believe it, you can go to Tongguan with only a few troops and wait."

"When Ma Chao arrives, you can go out of the city and fight with him."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if the flying general doesn't go."

"It's just a little stigma."

"The worst thing is, when the time comes, we will just say that the flying general is a coward, his name does not live up to his name, and he is old."

"Nothing to lose."

After saying that, he bowed to Wenpin and turned to leave.

It wasn't until Zhang Ji disappeared from sight that Wenpin said to Lu Bu: "Flying General, this is just a way to provoke the general."

"Our purpose this time is to guard the road to Shangluo to prevent the Guanzhong princes from invading Xudu from Wancheng, or to prevent Cao Cao from leaving Tongguan with the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials."

"Everything else is not our task."

Lu Bu rolled his eyes, smiled at Wen Pin and said, "Don't worry, General Wen, am I, Lu Bu, someone who can't tell the difference between good and bad?"

"It's just a little provocation."

"I pretend I can't hear you."

Wenpin breathed a sigh of relief when Lu Bu said this.

As long as he doesn't get fooled and everyone completes Wu Jun's tasks step by step, everything will be fine.

In this army, his identity as Lu Bu is extremely sensitive——

Father-in-law of Wu Hou.

The last time Tancheng abandoned the city and fled, the Marquis of Wu did not punish him.

If he causes trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, Lu Bu seemed to have learned his lesson.

Thinking of this, Wenpin smiled and said: "Everyone, stick to your posts and don't act without authorization."

"Now our main task in Jiangdong is to recuperate. Our army in Wancheng should try not to participate in the war as much as possible."

"Don't cause any trouble."

"When Cao Cao's army arrives safely, we can return to Wancheng."

Everyone responded in unison.

Wenpin dismissed everyone.

Lu Bu returned to the camp alone.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one came to him, especially Wenpin, Lu Bu quickly found a soldier who had been following him to come in, asked him to put on his own clothes, and gave a serious warning: "Before I come back, You just stay here.”

"If General Wenpin comes to see you, just say you are sick and it is inconvenient to see him."

"If General Wenpin insists on seeing you, you get angry and say that you are the father-in-law of the Marquis of Wu. There is something wrong with you. Who talks so much? Remember?"

Although the soldiers were a little trembling.

However, facing Lu Bu's gloomy gaze, he still nodded.

Lu Bu then smiled, patted the soldier on the shoulder, then went to the cook to ask for several days of rations, and brought them back to the camp.

Afterwards, he waited until dark before Lu Bu put on his soldier's armor, rode a war horse alone, secretly left the camp and rushed directly to Tongguan.

Arriving at the foot of Tongguan City, Lu Bu shouted loudly: "I am the flying general Lu Bu, please open the city gate quickly!"

On the city wall, Zhong Yao was inspecting the defensive measures.

Hearing the sound, Zhong Yao hurriedly looked outside.

Sure enough, there was a figure outside, very tall and majestic, riding a war horse, carrying a halberd, looking majestic.

Zhong Yao's expression perked up, and he ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let Lu Bu in. At the same time, he asked the soldiers to rush to the Wancheng army station and inform Lu Bu that he had entered Tongguan.

Wenpin is working with Ling Tong and others to build a sand table in the Tongguan area to prepare for the upcoming battle.

But unexpectedly, a soldier rushed in from outside and said, "Oh no, General, General Lu Bu has already rushed to Tongguan alone!"

When Wenpin heard this, he froze in the air while making a sand table with stones.

The next moment, he smashed the stone on the ground and roared: "This Lu Bu! Does he know what he is doing?"

"He doesn't care about Wu Jun's orders at all, right?"

Ling Tong said: "Shall I call him back?"

Wenpin said angrily: "Who do you think sent the news that he entered Tongguan?"

Ling Tong frowned and said, "Tongguan."

Wenpin was so angry that he laughed and said, "You know he was sent from Tongguan, but you don't know his purpose? Since they lured Lu Bu over, they won't let him go!"

"They know Lu Bu's character and the relationship between Lu Bu and Wu Hou, so they want to use Lu Bu to force us to guard Tongguan together!"

"damn it!"

Ling Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Now that it has become a fact, we can only do it."

"We can't. We really want to see Lu Bu and Tongguan destroyed together, right?"

"This time Tongguan deliberately lured Lu Bu in. It should be because the princes in Guanzhong were too powerful and they couldn't defend it."

"Moreover, they really lost Tongguan, and Cao Cao's army has not arrived yet. This is not good for us, right?"

"Most of the princes in Guanzhong are cavalry."

"If they cross Tongguan and Luoyang and go directly to Xudu, and Cao Cao is not prepared, then Wu Hou is not willing to see it."

"In this case, we can send some troops to help defend Tongguan."

"As for us here, one man can't stop ten thousand people."

"With [-]% of our troops left, we should be able to defend it."

"As for Cao Cao's arrival, we will tell Wu Hou the whole story and let Wu Hou deal with Lu Bu personally."

Wenpin suppressed his anger, looked at Ling Tong and said, "You are quite capable of thinking at such a young age."

Ling Tong said: "A few of us have been following Wu Hou, and we have been taught by various military advisors. This is just very simple and not worth mentioning."

Wenpin nodded and said to Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai: "Then this time you, Ling Tong, will be the main general, and Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai will be the deputy generals. You will lead five thousand soldiers to Tongguan to help defend the city."

Ling Tong crossed his fists.

Wenpin added: "Remember, don't be reckless! Even if you are helping to defend the city, Cao's army must be the main force! Also, if Cao's army makes any changes, they must report it in time."

Ling Tong responded and left with Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai.
