The Xuzhou army looked a little chaotic in the face of the onslaught of the cavalry, but after all, it had an advantage in numbers, and after Lu Bu led the cavalry to charge for a while, he led the troops back to the city.

Tao Qian also led his troops to camp five miles away from the city, and he could not give up Pengcheng.

After the completion of the camp, Tao Qian's heart was uneasy, Lu Bu's martial arts are strong, he has heard of it, but his personal experience and hearing are completely different feelings, today Lu Bu led the cavalry in the army invincible, so that the soldiers in the army are panicked.

Especially the generals in the army, there is no confidence in their expressions.

"Now that Lu Bu occupies Pengcheng and resists our army, if Lu Bu can't be driven away, then Xuzhou will definitely be ruined, and Lu Bu is a traitor." The big tent of the Chinese army, Tao Qian said in a deep voice.

The generals in the army nodded yes one after another, as for what they really thought in their hearts, no outsiders knew.

Wang Lang said: "There is no need to worry about the history of the assassin, Lu Bu is a martial artist, he has no martial arts, not enough to be afraid, and the history of the assassin has great prestige in Pengcheng, and he will definitely be able to break through the city if he personally leads the troops back." ”

Seeing that Tao Qian and the generals in the army turned their eyes on him, Wang Lang continued: "The officials in the city must have different intentions towards Lu Bu, although they said that they did not take action during the day, it must be because of Lu Bu's supervision, as long as they plan secretly, unite the defenders in the city, and completely open the city gate, and when the time comes, the army will rush in, why not drive Lu Bu away?" ”

Hearing this, Tao Qian nodded, and the support of the officials in the city was also an important reliance for him.

"Wang Zhizhong's words are reasonable, you are responsible for uniting the officials in the city, if you can drive Lu Bu away, you will be the first to take the credit." Tao Qian said.

When Wang Lang heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he arched his hand and said: "I must go all out for my humble duties." ”

"The officers and men in the army must not relax, then Lu Bu is not an easy person." Tao Qian said: "As long as Lu Bu is driven away from Pengcheng, then Lu Bu will definitely have nowhere to go, such a traitor, the court that kills him will have a reward." ”

The generals in the army were thoughtful, why didn't they want to kill Lu Bu in the confrontation, but Lu Bu's martial arts were too strong, and fighting against Lu Bu was not much different from looking for death.

Lu Bu led the victorious army back to the city, and the officials in the city stepped forward to congratulate them, no matter how dissatisfied they were with Lu Bu in their hearts, they still needed to show respect in front of Lu Bu.

Taking in the official's expression, Lu Bu didn't say too much.

Originally, according to Lu Bu's plan, Tao Qian led the army to Pengcheng, and defeated it on the way, if other cities in Xuzhou had reinforcements to help Tao Qian, with the current strength in his hands, it was enough to deal with it, but Jia Xu's plan was to let the officials of Xuzhou see the power of Lu Bu and defeat Tao Qian openly, so that the civil and military generals in the city could not see Tao Qian's hope of capturing Pengcheng, and they would naturally be more and more respectful to Lu Bu.

"Wenhe, General Gao Shun cooperates with you and is responsible for the affairs of the city, if there are young people who make trouble at such a time, you should know what to do." Lu Budao.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "I understand my humble duties. ”

It was night, and the city of Peng was as stable as ever, and it seemed that Tao Qian's arrival did not have much impact on the officials in the city.

Perhaps because of the victory of the army led by Lu Bu, the soldiers in the city were much lax in defense and patrolling, while the Xuzhou army was stepping up time to build siege equipment.

On the night of three days later, there was an abnormal movement in the city, more than 500 soldiers in the army rebelled, and the Liang family, the Zhao family, the Li family, the Wang family, and the Cao family united, wanting to seize the city gate and welcome Tao Qian into the city.

More than 500 rebels could not get out of the barracks, so they were defeated by Gao Shun and the soldiers of the trapped camp, and the men and horses of the five families, not long after leaving the house, were ambushed by the army.

This night, in Pengcheng, the shouting and killing continued, and Tao Qian, who was waiting with a large army outside the city, did not see the city gate open for a long time.

The next day, Lü Bu gathered Pengcheng officials at the Assassin's Mansion.

The officials have their channels to get information, and they have some understanding of the changes in the city last night, and the five families united, coupled with the rebellion of more than 500 army sergeants, are caught off guard, and they can completely seize the city gate and welcome the army into the city.

As long as Tao Qian enters the city, the families in the city will not stand on Tao Qian's side, compared to Lu Bu, they prefer Tao Qian to be in charge of Xuzhou, and when facing Lu Bu, the officials in the city feel the danger more often.

Lu Bu glanced around at the officials in the hall and said in a deep voice: "You must know about the turmoil in the city last night, and betraying the general is a dead end." ”

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, and this was the first battle between Pengcheng officials and Lu Bu.

"The five main members of the family were all killed, all the servants in the family were dismissed, and those who betrayed in the army were beheaded."

The sonorous and powerful words made the hearts of the officials in the field tremble, after Lu Bu entered Pengcheng, he was about to start a bloody killing.

Among the officials in Xuzhou, there are many smart people, and they can see from the response of the army in the city that Lu Bu has long expected what may happen in the city, and it is very likely that this incident was deliberately done by Lu Bu, if so, Lu Bu is worthy of their attention.

Using Tao Qian outside the city as bait to judge whether the officials in the city are loyal, in this way, Lu Bu has enough excuses to shoot at the officials, and the other four families are still easy to say, the Cao family is not a weak family in Xuzhou, and Cao Bao, a fierce general in the Xuzhou army, was born in the Cao family.

This is also the reason why the Cao family can't wait to make a move, Cao Bao provokes Lu Bu, he will definitely be hated by Lu Bu, this is the case, how can the Cao family have a good end.

However, the betrayal of the Cao family was exchanged for the destruction of the Cao family, and the profound family could not stop the edge of the strong army at this time.

The last thing the family wants to face is a brutal military general like Lu Bu, there is not much reason to talk about, can you say what kind of family background the Cao family has in Xuzhou, in that case, it will only strengthen Lu Bu's killing.

"Ben won't want to see this kind of thing again, otherwise don't blame Ben for being ruthless." Lu Budao.

Everyone expressed their loyalty to Lu Bu, and the officials, who originally had a certain amount of confidence, suddenly felt that Lu Bu, as a military general, was not as simple as they imagined.

"Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang will stay, and the rest will leave."

The officials who were close friends with the three of them couldn't help but show a worried look, in Pengcheng, the Chen family and the Mi family had a lot of influence, if Lu Bu made a move against the two families, it would inevitably cause a greater shock in Pengcheng, but it was very possible for such a thing to happen to Lu Bu.
