The sky is already twilight and the sun has not risen yet.
However, the air was already filled with the chill of dawn, and the grass was covered with gray dew. Haidongqing kept hovering in the half-dark cloud sky, overlooking the entire world with its sharp eyes.
Henan City.
On the city wall of Henan City, Jin soldiers had just had breakfast and were changing patrols. Everyone was immersed in the morning light and looked so peaceful. However, they did not notice at all that in the distant sky,
There is a pair of eyes watching every move in the city.
The sun gradually rose, and the golden sunlight penetrated the light mist, making the sky clear. Haidongqing flapped its huge wings, let out a loud cry, and began to fly away, and finally
Disappeared into the clouds.
In the Yan Army camp ten miles outside the north gate of Henan City, Li Yulin stood on the watchtower, looking at the sky, waiting anxiously. Under the watchtower, there were Yan Army soldiers who had been fully armed, Huang Zhong, in front.
, Zhao Yun and Xu You stood beside Huang Zhong, with Guan Hai and Zhou Cang behind, and ten thousand elite soldiers were ready.
After a while, a black dot flew in the distant sky. The black dot gradually approached, and it was Hai Dongqing.
When Li Yulin saw Hai Dongqing flying over, he was overjoyed and said to Huang Zhong below the watchtower: "General Qi, Hai Dongqing is back."
"Yeah." Huang Zhong said lightly.
Haidongqing circled down and landed on Li Yulin's shoulder. It opened its sharp peck and let out a series of calls, while Li Yulin nodded repeatedly.
Later, Li Yulin said to Huang Zhong: "General, everything is clear in Henan City. The four city gates are guarded. The east gate has the strongest defense. The Wei army's camp is five miles outside the east gate."
"Well, let's go!" Huang Zhong waved his phoenix-billed knife forward and shouted loudly.
With an order, the entire army set off, leaving only a few hundred men for Li Yulin, who was responsible for setting up camp and approaching Wulixia Village.
……………………
In the city of Henan, Guo Jia still couldn't figure out why Lu Bu suddenly lost his fighting spirit, but the tight time did not give him any chance to guess. In order to arrange the city defense, he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the intense work.
Guo Jia ordered people to pour boiling molten iron on the west gate and south gate, causing all the giant iron gates to be sealed. He moved all the troops from the west gate and south gate to the east gate, and asked Cao Xing to garrison the east gate.
, and he himself was stationed at the north gate.
After arranging everything, Guo Jia climbed up the city wall of the north gate and looked at the open space outside the north gate. He secretly thought in his heart: "According to my plan, Huang Zhong should have arrived here with his people today. Why hasn't he seen Yan for so long?
The army is coming?"
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw dust flying outside the city. The first general came into view, who could it be if it wasn't Huang Zhong. Behind him were Zhao Yun and other generals, and the Yan Army flag with gold characters on a black background was fluttering in the wind.
Guo Jia's face lit up with joy. He couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and shouted loudly: "Great, they are finally here."
Suddenly, a gloomy voice appeared behind Guo Jia: "The military advisor seems to be very happy about the arrival of Yan Jun?"
Guo Jia was shocked. He didn't even need to turn around, he could hear that it was Lu Bu's voice. He calmly turned around slowly and saw the tall Lu Bu standing behind him, with a pair of sharp eyes.
He was staring at him closely, and that look made him feel uncomfortable all over. He looked at Lu Bu as if he were a god, not angry but mighty, and there was even more murderous intent around him.
"Does the military advisor have anything to do with the Yan army?" Lu Bu raised his eyelids, looked at the Yan army soldiers approaching, and asked casually.
"My subordinates have nothing to do with Yan Jun..." Guo Jia couldn't admit it even to death.
Lu Bu snorted coldly, walked to the city wall, turned his back to Guo Jia, and said slowly: "Really?"
"Yes, my subordinates and Yan Jun..."
"It seems that Caris is not in the city, right? The thousand Huns are stationed in Mengjin. If someone hadn't surrendered to the Yan army, how could the Yan army have crossed the Yellow River and landed? Caris has long had objections to me.
, and she is not in the city now, and the thousand Huns only listen to her. If she does not surrender to the Yan army, according to the character of the Huns, they will never surrender. Chilis is a military advisor
A woman?"
When Guo Jia heard this, he also felt that Lu Bu was not as simple as he thought. At this time, Lu Bu seemed to be very sensitive to everything.
"I am aware of my guilt. I thought that Carisi was my woman and I sent her there to stop Yan's army. I didn't want to... In short, all my mistakes are my fault. Please punish me, my lord."
"You are wrong. Your fault is that you did not take good care of your woman. She is the princess of the Huns. All the people I sent to the Huns before have not been heard from. It seems that they were killed by the soldiers of the Yan army guarding the river.
Captured. However, this is beyond your control. Huns women are different from us Han women. I will not punish you, but please be sure to guard this door. If it is lost, I will not kill you.
amnesty."
"promise!"
"Oh, by the way, since the Yan army has arrived, it will definitely attack the city jointly with the Wei army. I will take back the authority granted to you to command the entire city's troops. Now it has reached an emergency period. If the Chu army, Song army and Zhang Ji,
Fan Chou has attacked together, then we will be in a hard fight. From now on, I will take over all the troops in the city, first defeat Cao Cao, then retreat high, and then sweep across the entire Central Plains."
Guo Jia deeply felt the domineering power emanating from Lu Bu, which was completely different from the one he saw in the stables yesterday. He did not speak, he only felt as if he had been drained from the bottom of the cauldron.
"Also, he has been with me for many years, and his martial arts skills are also good. The military advisor cannot be without someone to take care of him. Let him be his personal guard. If necessary, he can also save the military advisor's life.
Lu Bu said, pointing to a middle-aged man behind him.
The middle-aged man had a strong physique and a curly beard. He looked very powerful. He cupped his fists and said, "Young man Lu Yi, please see the military advisor."
Lu Bu didn't wait for Guo Jia to answer, then said to Lu Yi: "Take good care of the military advisor. No matter where the military advisor goes, you have to follow him and protect the military advisor at all times. I heard that there are spies in the city, and the military advisor is very worried."
Important person, I am worried that spies will assassinate the military advisor. Therefore, the maximum distance you can keep from the military advisor is only three feet. If the military advisor makes any mistakes, I will definitely question you, do you understand?"
"I understand, my lord, please rest assured."
Guo Jia looked embarrassed and thought to himself: "Lü Bu has completely ignored me. It seems that he has doubted me. What happened?"
Lu Bu reached out and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder, showing a sinister smile, and said: "The military advisor should exterminate the relatives out of justice, not to mention that Caris is just a Huns, and there is no matchmaker to marry her, so she can't be considered your wife, so once Caris is
If Si appears, you must shoot her, do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands."
Lu Bu winked at Lu Yi and left immediately, thinking to himself: "Gao Fei has always been cunning and cunning, and Guo Jin is also obsessed with Caris. What if Gao Fei uses Caris to blackmail Guo Jin?
I'm just afraid that Guo Jin will be affected, so just in case, I can only arrange for Lu Yi to be here. If Guo Jia does anything unusual, I would rather kill him than let him ruin my big event."
At this time, Huang Zhong and his cavalry had arrived below the city. Looking at Lu Bu who was standing on the city tower and being so kind to Guo Jia, he thought to himself: "It's really impressive that Guo Fengxiao can gain such trust from Lu Bu."
It’s unbelievable.”
"stop!"
Huang Zhong shouted, and the cavalry following him stopped one after another.
Xu You rode up to Huang Zhong and asked: "General Huang, what did Guo Fengxiao say in his letter? Should we attack the city?"
Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "There is no need to attack the city for the time being. Guo Canjun said that everything is under control. We only need to proceed according to the original plan and wait for Guo Canjun's good news."
Guo Jia stood on the city wall and saw Huang Zhong ordering all the soldiers to dismount, then sitting lazily on the ground, and sending more than a dozen soldiers to scold the formation. He thought to himself: "What's wrong with Huang Zhong?"
Zhong is still acting according to my original plan, but he doesn’t know that I am already in danger, so I must find a way to inform General Huang..."
While he was thinking, Guo Jia saw that Xu You was there, and his worries immediately dissipated, and he said with a smile: "Xu You and I are old friends. If he knew that I did not open the city gate as promised, he would definitely understand my situation, but
I hope he won’t wait any longer like he originally planned.”
Turning around, Guo Jia said to Lu Yi: "Let's go to the city."
"The Yan army has already arrived at the city. Should we just leave like this? What if the Yan army attacks the city?" Lu Yi asked.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "The Yan army deliberately put on that posture to lure our army into battle. If they really wanted to attack the city, they would not be so unorganized. Don't worry, it's okay now. Let's go to the east gate.
I think there should be a big battle between my lord and Cao Cao."
Lu Yi was doubtful, but he did not dare to disobey. As long as Guo Jia did not open the city gate, he would not take action.
The two of them walked down the tower together and walked straight towards the east gate.
At this time, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse to the east gate tower. He was seen holding Fangtian's painted halberd, with a golden crown on his head, wearing a hundred-flower war robe, Tang Ni armor underneath, and a lion belt around his waist. He looked very energetic.
Flying and majestic.
When Cao Xing saw Lu Bu coming, he hurriedly bowed: "See you, my lord!"
Lu Bu ignored it and rode his horse directly to the city wall. Looking at the flags of the Wei army's camp outside the city, which were densely covered with flags fluttering in the wind, he asked: "Is there any movement of the Wei army?"
