On the streets of Taiyuan, Lu Bu's soldiers were running around, looking excited and somewhat disorderly. Many stores had been smashed open. I don't know if it was the soldiers who did it, or some people were fishing in troubled waters. There were also scattered on the streets.
There were scattered items, large and small, looming under the light of the torch.
"Gongtai!" Lu Bu rode a red rabbit and rushed to the Taiyuan government office. He frowned and said, "Didn't I say something? Don't act rashly for now? Why didn't you listen to X's order?"
Such words without any position may be a manifestation of Lu Bu's extremely contradictory heart.
Military law is strict, and it is not just a word that is spoken casually. It can be executed ten times or twenty times. Why is the drum head of the war drum at the gate of the military camp red and black?
Because it is dyed with human blood. Take the first stream of hot blood that flies out of the cavity after cutting off the head of a person, and dye it on the war drum. It is used as a demonstration, and it is said that it can also suppress evil spirits.
For Lu Bu, Chen Gongyue took over the situation now. To a certain extent, this was no longer an ordinary incident, and even a bit rebellious. However, after Lu Bu arrived at the scene, he could only feel painless.
One sentence.
Chen Gong smiled, obviously Lu Bu's reaction was what he had expected, and said: "Marquis Wen! This subordinate has overstepped his bounds! I'm guilty, I'm guilty. Please punish Marquis Wen! But you can't miss the opportunity, and if you lose it, you won't come back again! The moment was unexpected.
, before it can be effective, if it is delayed and the news is leaked, wouldn't it miss a big event?" Spending so much time with Lu Bu, Chen Gong almost touched Lu Bu, so he seemed to be calm and at ease.
Lu Bu still frowned, looking at the closed door of the Taiyuan government office, still a little hesitant. If we divide it according to the nine-point rule of personality of later generations, Lu Bu will most likely appear in the chaotic camp, leaning towards the chaotic and kind side.
A chaotic good person acts according to his own conscience, rarely considers other people's norms and requirements for him, does things in his own way, believes in kindness and justice, but at the same time believes that general laws and regulations are useless, and hates those who coerce and order
People who respect others have their own set of moral principles. Although these principles are generally good, they may not be consistent with the norms of society as a whole...
Lu Bu's youth grew up in the border counties, and it goes without saying much about martial arts. But what he said was lacking was precisely his literary attainments. Because of lack and ignorance, he reverenced and worshiped him, just like primitive people worshiping totems, not
It's just awe of the material that depicts the totem, but awe of the mystery behind the totem. And this, at a time when Lu Bu is no longer a ruthless thief, but a warm man of the Han Dynasty, it still clings to him and affects him.
His decision.
Although Chen Gong violated his order, Chen Gong did it for himself. In this case, it does not seem to be an unforgivable fault, and...
Lu Bu quickly put aside Chen Gong's apology words and focused his attention on the Taiyuan government office.
"Is there no one in the government office?" Lu Bu looked around and suddenly said, "If Cui Shijun is in the government office...how can this place be so quiet when the neighborhood is in chaos?"
Lu Bu just expressed his intuition, but when he heard it, Chen Gong's heart skipped a beat, his face changed, and he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Quick! Quick, attack in! No more looking for wood, just climb over the wall and get in!"
Taiyuan City is a big fort, and the government office is a stronghold with high walls and thick gates. Originally, Chen Gong had to wait for the wood to hit, and then go all out to capture the government office. After all, the morale of the soldiers is very important now, and they cannot make unnecessary sacrifices.
, however, after hearing Lu Bu's words, it was as if a thin film had been opened, and Chen Gong immediately thought of some not-so-healthy images.
Sure enough, the soldiers who climbed over the wall and entered were not attacked. It took almost no effort to unbolt the door and open the gate of the government office. Those Taiyuan soldiers who were originally guarding the wall of the government office had already escaped without knowing it.
Went there.
Chen Gong's complexion suddenly turned darker than the bottom of the pot.
Anyone who is not a fool can understand what this situation means...
At first, Chen Gong thought that he was plotting against others, but now it seems that he has become someone else's plot. This feeling should not be too sour.
"Damn it!" Chen Gong reacted, then remembered something and shouted, "Beicang! Send people to Beicang to investigate quickly!" Like most cities, warehouses are generally built for fear of fire.
In the north, the five elements of the north belong to water, which means suppressing fire. The Gongcang in Taiyuan City is also located in the north.
Not long after, the people who went to Beicang also came back, and Chen Gong's face, which was originally as dark as the bottom of a pot, successfully turned into a pale...
"How could it be like this..." Chen Gong covered his forehead and couldn't figure it out, "Why is it like this, why is it like this?!" Then beads of sweat rolled down, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We've fallen into the trap!"
Lu Bu still didn't react, so he said, "What kind of meat dog?"
Chen Gong's heart suddenly felt like the king was lying on a group of bronzes, and a deep feeling of powerlessness rolled over him, making him a little emotionally unstable. He shouted: "It's not a dog, it's a pig! We've fallen into a trap.
Got it! Got caught in the trap!”
Lu Bu may have finally been irritated by Chen Gong's attitude, or for some other reason. His face darkened, he snorted heavily, and no longer asked Chen Gong for his advice, but said directly: "Come here! Guard.
Four gates! It is strictly forbidden to enter or exit! Order the Gao Xiaoxiao Lieutenant to mobilize the camp, guard the main roads, and search the city!"
Chen Gong's eyes moved rapidly, obviously a little anxious, and his whole expression looked a little sluggish, as if the sage's time had been emptied out of his body after reluctantly taking medicine. "Cui Shijun said that he has been ill for many days, and I am afraid that it will be long ago by this time.
I'm out of the city... I've fallen into the trap... I've fallen into the trap... But where did the trap come from? Where did it come from?"
"Chen Gongtai!" Lu Bu slapped Chen Gong on the shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "Wake up! If you run away, run away! Now that we have occupied Taiyuan, what should we do? Huh?!"
Chen Gong was patted for a while, and finally woke up from the chaotic emotions, and said: "The plan for maintaining the present is to contact the general quickly and ask him to send troops here, and then we can be safe!"
Before Lu Bu could agree, he heard a voice coming from the side: "Wen Hou! Absolutely not!"
Lu Bu turned his head and looked around, his expression changed, "Wenyuan? Where did you come from?"
"It's you! No..." Chen Gong seemed to be shocked by the successive situations and lost his confidence, "...it's not you...it shouldn't be you..."
Although what he said was confusing, Zhang Liao still understood what Chen Gong meant and said: "Of course not! I don't have that kind of ability! If General Zhengxi hadn't told me, I would still be in the mountains, probably in Taiyuan City."
We can only get this news after the change of ownership!"
Lu Bu's expression changed and he said: "Zhengxi... Zhengxi has been here a long time ago? So..."
Zhang Liao was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "Someone came from the Zhengxi camp..."
Chen Gongyin said with a sullen face: "Since you know the strategy of conquering the west, why didn't you come early to report to Wenhou! Could it be that Captain Zhang had already had the intention of treason? Or maybe he wanted to say that Wenhou was inferior to Zhengxi? Come on!
Man, take down Zhang Wenyuan!"
However, Lu Bu raised his palm to stop the soldiers' actions. The light and shadow on his face swayed in the torch, making it difficult to distinguish between light and dark. He seemed to be waiting for Zhang Liao's explanation.
Zhang Liao slowly stretched out his hand, revealing a few yams in his hand, and said: "I am not rebellious, and I don't want to harm Marquis Wen! Marquis Wen... I was training in Dongshan and happened to find some good yams. I haven't eaten them for a long time."
Roasted yams...I wonder if Wenhou wants to eat one..."
Lu Bu was obviously taken aback. His eyes widened and he blinked a few times. He seemed to have remembered something. The lines on his face gradually softened. Then he laughed and said, "Good! Bake a portion for me! I haven't eaten for a long time."
It’s time for Wenyuan’s craftsmanship!”
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in disbelief, then turned to look at Zhang Liao. He felt that either these two people were crazy, or he was crazy. At such a critical moment, the two of them still had the heart to roast in front of the Taiyuan government office.
Yam!
Damn yams!
Chen Gong was dumbfounded as he watched Lu Bu and Zhang Liao actually light up a bonfire at the entrance of the Taiyuan government office, and then sit cross-legged beside the bonfire. It was really hard to understand. He wanted to say something several times, but found that he was suddenly
I didn't know what to say, so in the end I could only shake off my long sleeves and turn around.
Zhang Liao said slowly while roasting yams: "Marquis Wen, did you ever remember that in the second year of Zhongping, in Yanmen Mountain..."
Lu Bu looked at the bonfire, his eyes flashed, and he laughed and said: "Remember, how could I not remember? Back then, Wenyuan was good at roasting yams... Back then, someone was chasing Xianbei dogs and got lost on the mountain road, but he was looking for this scent.
Found Wenyuan..."
Zhang Liao also laughed and said: "It was already dusk that day. I was in the mountains when I saw Wen Hou turning out of the mountain col and running straight towards me. His body was covered in blood. This really shocked me. I thought I had met a thief, but I didn't.
I just want one yam..."
Lu Bu raised his head and seemed to be recalling, and said: "Well, I still vaguely remember that it was the most delicious meal I have ever had... Wen Yuan is also very good at his craftsmanship. If I asked him to bake it, it would probably be burnt...
…”
Zhang Liao turned the yam and said slowly: "Roasting yam is actually not difficult, the important thing is the heat...the heat will be enough to make it fragrant..."
Lu Bu's eyes moved and he remained silent.
"Okay!" Zhang Liao took the yam-covered branch out of the fire, blew the black ash on it, and handed it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu silently took the yam, his eyes fixed on the yam, and he neither ate it immediately nor said anything.
Zhang Liao sat aside and said nothing.
After a long while, President Lu Bu broke the silence and said, "Did Zhengxi ask you to come?"
"No..." Zhang Liao shook his head, "It was me who wanted to conquer the west and then re-entered the city..."
"So..." Lu Bu turned the yam branch, "Zhengxi has arrived in Taiyuan a long time ago... He really still can't trust a certain person..."
Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and pointed at the Taiyuan government office on the side: "Marquis Wen! Let's take a look at where we are now!"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and then realized what he was doing, and then he let out a long sigh: "This... well... it's also... I can't blame Zheng Xi... Wenyuan, please go ahead and tell Zheng Xi that after dawn
, everyone depends on their own methods!"
Zhang Liao turned around and said: "Marquis Wen..."
But before Zhang Liao could say anything, Lu Bu waved his hand, interrupted Zhang Liao's words, and said, "That's it! Wen Yuan doesn't need to say more!" After that, he was ready to stand up.
"Marquis Wen! Please listen to someone's last words!" Zhang Liao fell on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Marquis Wen's ability lies in being an unparalleled flying general on the battlefield! Now the pearl is secretly cast, and Xiaoxiao is at the mercy of his left and right. This will be
What was the wish of Marquis Wen?! How much of the former Jiuyuan swamp is still there today! He died at the hands of barbarians, and his body was wrapped in horse leather without regrets. He died in the war of brothers, how could he be seen under the nine springs! Marquis Wen!"
Lu Bu's movement of getting up was condensed, and he shook his head after a while and said: "Now...it's too late to say anything..."
Zhang Liao raised his head and said: "Marquis Wen! When someone came here, Zheng Xi once said, Marquis Wen, did he ever remember a glass of wine at the east gate of Luoyang? Did he ever remember the fragrance of drunken flowers in the warm spring days..."
Lu Bu moved his throat up and down, as if his throat was extremely dry, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhengxi, what else did Zhengxi say?"
Zhang Liao was silent, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Lu Bu with both hands.
Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Liao strangely, as if to express why Zhang Liao didn't take out the letter earlier. But when he first glanced at the letter, he saw a familiar handwriting. After another glance, he suddenly
He raised his head, stared at Zhang Liao and said: "This letter... this letter..."
Zhang Liao nodded slightly.
Lu Bu was a little panicked. He lowered his head and continued reading. The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked, the angrier he became. When he saw the end, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance, Wen Yuan."
Why didn't you get it earlier?"
Zhang Liao also stood up, raised his hands and said, "I got this from my expedition to the west... In addition, if someone takes out this letter after seeing Marquis Wen's face... Is Marquis Wen willing to believe it?"
Lu Bu couldn't help but be speechless.
This is indeed the case. If Zhang Liao had not recounted his experiences of that year and moved Lu Bu with his brotherly love, Lu Bu would probably still regard Zheng Xi and Zhang Liao as rivals. How could he be willing to believe this letter?
Lu Bu turned his head, no longer entangled with Zhang Liao on this matter, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here! Order Master Chen to come here quickly!"
Soon after, Chen Gong hurried over. Although he saw Lu Bu's unhappy expression, he didn't think much about it for a moment. He stepped forward and raised his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, why are you calling me?"
"What's the matter?" Lu Bu threw the letter on the ground in front of Chen Gong and said angrily, "Good thing! Just watch it!"
Chen Gong's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Lu Bu and then at Zhang Liao. Then he slowly picked up the letter on the ground, glanced at it, and then his body shook...
This letter was written by Chen Gongta to the general Yuan Shao. Although I don’t know why it fell into the hands of Lu Bu, it must be related to the expedition to the west.
Although the letter did not mention anyone by name, in order to win the trust of General Yuan Shao, it still stated some action steps, including the matter of seizing Taiyuan. Although it was not signed from top to bottom, but combined with the previous and later matters, it was very consistent with Chen Gong's tone...
Of course, this letter was naturally written by Chen Gong, but at this moment, Chen Gong naturally could not admit it even to death. Fortunately, for the sake of caution, Chen Gong did not include any direct titles in this letter, so
…
"...This!" Under the light of the torch, Chen Gong's head flashed with water, and he gritted his teeth and said, "...This letter was faked by Zheng Xi! It was not done by someone! Don't fall into the enemy's trap, Marquis Wen.
