Although Lu Bu woke up, his face remained pale and he could only lie in bed and could not get out of bed to walk.
On this day, his face suddenly became rosy, and he was able to get out of bed on his own and wanted to walk out of the room.
When he walked to the door of the room, he heard someone whispering outside the door. He stopped and stood quietly inside the door listening.
"You think the general is still well after being injured like this?"
"I haven't been able to get out of bed for so many days. I'm afraid I won't get better."
"Yeah, it's actually useless even if you do. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city. Even if the general is not injured, he probably won't be able to leave."
"Liu Bei is surrounded by so many soldiers and horses, but he doesn't attack the city. I don't know what they think. Hey, have you heard? I heard from other brothers that they want to escape from the city and ask for surrender. They say Liu Bei is a man.
Benevolence and righteousness will not kill those who seek surrender."
"I've heard that if you go out of the city to surrender, you might still be alive, but if you stay in the city, you'll probably die in the end!"
"It's a pity that General Gao took it too seriously and patrolled the city in person day and night. They had no chance even if they wanted to go out."
"Shh, stop talking, General Gao is here."
The sound outside the door suddenly stopped, and then footsteps were heard approaching from far away.
Gao Shun pushed the door open and entered the room. When he saw Lu Bu standing in the room, he was immediately stunned. Then he said with great joy: "General, you can get out of bed and walk!"
"Boping, help me to the city gate tower."
Lu Bu's face was calm, and he was not angry at what the two people outside the door just said.
"General, your injury has not healed yet. Please rest in your room until you are healed."
"No, I'm going now."
Lu Bu insisted on going. He wanted to see with his own eyes the soldiers and horses in the outer city.
Gao Shun tried to persuade him again: "General, there is not much to see outside the city..."
"Stop talking, I know Liu Bei has surrounded the city with a large army. Please help me go and take a look."
Gao Shun had no choice but to help Lu Bu out of the room.
Lu Bu glanced at the two guards outside the door and said nothing.
The two guards didn't expect Lu Bu to be able to get out of bed, and seeing that his face was no longer pale. They were surprised and afraid that what they just said would be heard by Lu Bu. At this time, they couldn't help but feel uneasy, lowering their heads and not daring to go.
Look at Lu Bu.
Gao Shun supported Lu Bu and walked towards the east city gate tower. When he reached the city gate tower, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and others had also heard the news and came over.
Lu Bu walked to the city wall, held on to the crenels, and looked out of the city.
I saw a series of tents stretching out in the distance, a flag with the character "Liu" standing high in the middle of the camp, and soldiers and horses patrolling outside the camp.
"How many troops does Liu Bei have surrounding the city?" Lu Bu asked, looking outside the city.
Chen Gong stepped forward and replied: "It is estimated that there will be 30,000 to 40,000 troops. There are enemy soldiers on the east, west and north sides. Only the south side is close to Surabaya, so there are no enemy soldiers setting up camps to block them, but there are also enemy soldiers patrolling and exploring."
, if we want to leave the city from the south, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
"Gongtai, I regret not listening to you!" Lu Bu sighed softly, "Liu Xuande has a strong army, and Zhou Wen'an set up a plan. General Yuan's 50,000 troops were defeated. I was too eager to underestimate the enemy."
Chen Gong was speechless. It was too late to say anything now.
"If I had listened to you and not sent troops in a hurry, Chenglian, Weiyue and others would not have died, and there would not be so many soldiers and horses besieging the city today. Even if we can't stay in Xuzhou, we can go to Hanoi or Nanyang.
, there is always a place for us. But now, everything is too late!"
"It's not too late, general, after you recover from your injuries, we can fight our way out of the city. No matter how many troops they have, we can't stop them," Gao Shun said.
Lu Bu turned around and glanced at Gao Shun.
Among the people around him now, the first one to be loyal is Gao Shun.
"Boping, you are the only one among the generals who dares to speak out, but I often don't listen. From now on, I will listen to whatever you say." Lu Bu said and glanced at Zhang Liao next to him.
Zhang Liao's face turned slightly red and he looked outside the city without saying a word.
"We were surrounded, why didn't General Yuan come to rescue us?" Lu Bu asked again.
Chen Gong replied: "Wang Kai went to invite him, and Yuan Jiujiu sent General Zhang Xun with 10,000 troops to help. However, when they reached Fuli, they heard that Liu Bei's troops had also arrived, so they returned to Shouchun."
"Haha, they are already frightened when they hear Liu Bei's name."
"General, it's windy here, go back and have a rest!" Gao Shun advised.
Lu Bu waved his hand gently: "Let me take a look at the world, the soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei..."
Chen Gong knew that Lu Bu had been in bed for many days, and today he suddenly got out of bed and walked around. It seemed like a good thing, but he was afraid that he had returned to his former glory.
Gao Shun didn't think so much. Seeing that Lu Bu could walk, he believed that he would heal his injuries and kill everyone as before, unrivaled.
Lu Bu stood for a long time before turning around and saying, "Go back."
After returning to the room and lying on the bed, Lu Bu suddenly gasped for breath and his face turned pale again.
Gao Shun hurriedly called the doctor to check.
After the doctor looked at it, he shook his head and said: "General, there is really nothing I can do!"
"Quickly, heal the general quickly!"
Gao Shun stepped forward and grabbed the doctor and shouted.
"Boping, Boping..."
Lu Bu shouted in a low voice.
"General, I'm here." Gao Shun hurriedly squatted beside the bed.
At this time, Lu Bu's wife and daughter heard that his condition had worsened and came to see him hurriedly.
"General! General!"
"Father!"
Lu Bu's wife and daughter shouted.
Lu Bu looked up at his crying wife and daughter, and said to Gao Shun who was squatting beside the bed: "Boping, I have fought in battles all my life and have never been afraid. Now...now I can no longer fight with you. You are an upright man."
, who is loyal to me and is someone I can trust. After I die, you will protect my wife and daughter, you promise me!"
"General..."
Gao Shun held Lu Bu's hand tightly and was speechless.
Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and Hao Meng stood nearby, with sad faces at this time, listening to Lu Bu's words quietly.
"Liu Xuande is a kind and righteous man, but I have let him down. You...you go out of the city to surrender to him. I don't think he will harm my wife and daughter. You asked Liu Xuande to send someone to send them back to their hometown in Bingzhou. Boping, I know that you have the idea of helping the world in your heart."
If you have great ambition and courage, if you follow Liu Xuande, you will surely be put to good use by him..."
Gao Shun said anxiously: "Shun will only follow the general and will never betray the general!"
Lu Bu gasped and said: "No, you didn't betray me. I made you do this. Only if you surrender Liu Xuande can my wife and daughter be saved. And if you surrender him, you must be loyal to him..."
"General, stop talking." Gao Shun sobbed.
"General!"
"Father!"
Lu Bu's wife and daughter rushed to the bedside, hugged Lu Bu and shouted and cried bitterly.
His daughter is only fourteen years old this year. According to history, she will be married to Yuan Shu's son by Lu Bu two years later, but the marriage did not take place in the end.
"Boping, you...you promise me!"
Lu Bu held Gao Shun's hand tightly, his eyes suddenly bulging, and he was panting heavily, as if he might lose his breath at any time.
