So what everyone calls the shortage is considered a common thing in all armies.
Lu Bu could get armor and knives, but he couldn't get the spear that was most needed in the army because it wasn't available in the game either.
Soldiers who charge into battle in the army often hold long spears in their hands. Although Pu Dao soldiers are also very powerful, they cannot be used for charging.
Lu Bu remembered the items everyone needed in his mind one by one, and prepared to think of ways to do it in the game.
Just when everyone was reporting what they needed in the army, a tantrum hurriedly ran in and said, "Report to Marquis Wen that Cao's army passed through the hilly area and suddenly accelerated their speed. They will reach Dingtao tonight. If there are no accidents,
, I’ll be here soon.”
Chen Gong frowned when he heard the spies' words, "At this speed, Cao Mengde's army will be able to get here in two days at most."
Lu Bu nodded, "That's fine, then we'll just wait here and prepare for the battle."
……
Cao Cao stood on the edge of the hilly area, turned his head and looked in the direction of the hills, and a disdainful sneer suddenly appeared on his dark cheeks.
"Following filial piety, Lu Bu is brave but has no plans, so there is nothing to worry about, haha."
Guo Jia, who was slim and slim, smiled slightly and said, "Wouldn't it be better this way? It would be easy to take back Yanzhou."
While the two were talking, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Ta-ta-ta!
A Cao army spy came running from the official road on horseback, "Get out of the way, we have a military intelligence report."
No one dared to stop him, so the spy hurriedly came to Cao Cao, raised his hands and said, "My lord, something bad has happened. General Xiahou and Mr. Wen Ruo were killed in battle."
"What?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard what the spies said.
Cao Cao rolled his eyes in shock, apparently not fainting.
Hearing the bad news, Guo Jia's originally pale face turned frighteningly white. He hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about? General Xiahou and Wen Ruo were both killed in battle. What happened? Can you explain it clearly?"
The spy took a few quick breaths and said, "On that day, Lu Fengxian led his troops to attack, and General Xiahou and Mr. Wen Ruo came to the city wall to meet the enemy."
Hearing this, Cao Cao had tears in his eyes and roared angrily, "Little Lu Bu, you and I are incompatible."
The spy was startled and hurriedly raised his hand, "It was dark at that time. Mr. Wen Ruo was bitten by a spider and died from the poison. General Xiahou was also bitten by a spider and was shot by Lu Fengxian's bow and arrow, so he died in battle.
”
Cao Cao was stunned, "What did you say, Wen Ruo was bitten to death by a spider?"
The spy nodded hurriedly, "It's true. Everyone saw it. After the spider bit Mr. Wenruo, Mr. Wenruo became extremely swollen. He couldn't hold on for a long time and fell to the ground and died.
General Xiahou's arm was bitten by a spider. Although he was quick to cut off his own arm, Lu Fengxian took the opportunity to charge, and General Xiahou was hit by an arrow and died."
Guo Jia frowned and murmured, "Spiders, how can there be spiders, and how can there be such powerful spiders?"
Cao Cao roared angrily, "Send the order and the army will advance at great speed and rush directly to Puyang to avenge Yuan Rang and Wen Ruo."
……
After Lu Bu discussed with everyone, he left Gao Shun behind and wanted to discuss military discipline.
After everyone left, Lu Bu discovered that Hou Cheng did not leave either, but stood there as if he was hesitant to speak.
In the game, Lonely Xianyu had already told him in detail everything from Yanzhou to Baimen Tower.
Therefore, Lu Bu also knew that in the end, Hou Cheng was beaten with a military stick by him because of drinking, and he turned to Cao Mengde.
Hou Cheng is his old brother. Starting from Bingzhou, Hou Cheng was still his military prince at the beginning. It was only after he made meritorious service that he was promoted and became Hou Cheng's superior.
To be honest, Lu Bu has always been very grateful to Hou Cheng, because when he was a soldier, Hou Cheng never deducted any meritorious deeds he made. It was precisely for this reason that he was able to level up quickly.
When Hou Cheng was in Bingzhou, he also performed very well. He was loyal, brave, and good at fighting. He was considered a very good soldier.
But why did he betray himself later? Could it be that just because he beat him with a military stick, he forgot the brotherhood he had had for many years?
Just when Lu Bu frowned and thought about the past, Hou Cheng couldn't help it. He walked forward and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, I want to ask you something."
Lu Bu nodded, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Just as Hou Cheng was about to speak, Gao Shun suddenly said, "Lao Hou, do you want to plead for Zhang San?"
Hou Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Marquis Wen, Zhang San is an old brother of mine. He made a small mistake this time, but Lao Gao ignored his feelings and insisted on punishing him, so I would like to invite Marquis Wen Kane.
Let him go! Hou Cheng"
Lu Bu frowned and turned to look at Gao Shun, "What mistake did Zhang San make?"
Gao Shun cupped his hand and said, "Marquis Wen just issued an order that everyone is not allowed to harass the people, let alone rob the people's property and food.
However, Zhang San led a few soldiers and not only robbed the people, but also snatched away the girls. Therefore, the general captured them all and wanted to punish them according to regulations."
Lu Bu frowned, "According to the regulations, what should be the punishment?"
Gao Shun looked grave and said slowly, "Fortunately, there was no death this time. According to the provisions of military law, 100 military sticks were severely punished and all the looted property was returned."
Hou Cheng smiled and held his hand in his hand, "Marquis Wen, Zhang San is brave in battle and has made many military exploits. He can be regarded as an effective general under me. Although he made a small mistake this time, let alone not causing death, please be merciful to Marquis Wen.
Just let him go this time."
Lu Bu looked at Hou Cheng with an apologetic smile on his face, and then looked at Gao Shun with a solemn face, his brows gradually furrowed, and he asked slowly.
"Gao Shun, if you get a lighter punishment, what crime would it be?"
Gao Shun cupped his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, military law is military law. No one can defy it. No one, not even myself, can defy it.
If there is any disobedience, it must be dealt with according to military law."
Anger rose on Hou Cheng's face, "Lao Gao, we are all brothers, not to mention we have made so many contributions, why can't we just be lenient?"
Gao Shun shook his head and said in a cold tone, "No."
Lu Bu frowned, turned to look at Hou Cheng, and asked slowly, "Old Hou, if it were you, how would you like to deal with it?"
Hou Cheng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, why don't you take the credit for the crime? What do you think?"
Gao Shun sneered, "Lao Hou, according to you, as long as you make a great contribution, you can make a big mistake. Is this the truth?
