Before the Son of Heaven's reply edict was issued, Huangfu Song explicitly promised Lü Bu that he could leave the lives of these captives for the time being.

The big stone in Lu Bu's heart can be regarded as landing, in his opinion, His Majesty will not ask for the lives of these captives if he is a little lenient and compassionate, after all, they were all the people of the Han Dynasty.

The immediate priority should be to quickly send troops to support Cao Cao and capture Yangzhai.

The plan to capture Yang Zhai was already given by Lu Bu last night.

Huangfu Song thought it was feasible, so he asked Lü Bu to lead the army to join Cao Cao, and asked the two to work together to recapture the city from the moth thieves.

Lu Bu took over the task with his fists, led two thousand to ride out of Xinzheng, and flew to Yangzhai.

Zhu Jun, who was standing at the head of the city to see him off, looked at the back of the two thousand cavalry soldiers who were hurrying away, and was a little puzzled, he asked Huangfu Song: "Yizhen, why do you trust this person so much?" ”

The two have known each other for many years, so Zhu Jun knows very well that Lu Bu is not a relative or friend of Huangfu Song, nor is he a protégé of his Huangfu family.

Huangfu Song retracted his gaze and sighed longly: "Brother Gongwei, you and I have already grown gray hairs on our heads, how many years can we survive?" ”

The rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty have to rely on the shoulders of these outstanding young descendants after all.

Xinzheng to Yangzhai, a distance of more than 100 miles.

The cavalry under the command of Lu Bu were all good horses of the Xianbei people, and at dusk and sunset of the same day, they had rushed to the outside of Yangzhai City and gathered with Cao Cao's team.

Cao Cao, who was discussing the strategy with Xiahou Yuan, heard that Lu Bu was leading the army to come, so he left the affairs at hand and got up, greeted him in person with a smile on his face, and smiled heartily: "Hahaha, Fengxian, it's actually you." ”

Cao Cao is five years older than Lu Bu, and it is not without fault that he is called Lu Bu Fengxian.

It's just that this is the case, and only elders or close friends will do so.

Is the relationship between the two so close?

Lu Bu didn't think so, at the gate of Xinzheng City, he almost killed Cao Cao.

The penetrating gaze shot into the depths of Cao Cao's eyes, as if he wanted to see some clues with disguise.

After looking at each other, Lu Bu dismounted and walked closer, glanced at the towel wrapped around Cao Cao's right arm, and asked loudly, "Riding Captain, is your arm okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little skin trauma."

As he spoke, Cao Cao shook his arms twice and replied with a smile on his face.

However, in his heart, there was an extremely strong intuition that told him that the seemingly peaceful and quiet General Fei in front of him still had a strong vigilance and defense against him.

As for why, Cao Cao couldn't figure it out.

He didn't ask, because he knew that even if he asked, Lu Bu wouldn't say.

Regarding the battle plan for capturing Yangzhai, Lu Bu told Cao Cao 1510 in full.

"Don't wait for tomorrow, right now, while it's still late, it's even harder for them to distinguish the real from the fake." After listening to the plan, Cao Cao's decision was decisive.

Lu Bu also had this idea, and the two hit it off, immediately integrated the team, and set off towards the city in front.

When the army marched half a mile outside the city, Cao Cao got off his horse and ordered Xiahoudun beside him: "Yuan Rang, go and get a thick rope." ”

Xiahoudun didn't think much about it, since Cao Cao wanted to use a rope, he must have his own reasons.

The thick rope was fetched, and Cao Cao was heard saying, "Come, tie me up." ”

"Huh?"

Xiahoudun's face was full of confusion, and his brain couldn't turn for a while, what kind of trouble is this?

The corners of Lu Bu's eyes shrank, and he could probably guess Cao Cao's intentions.

"If you are making a play, you have to have no flaws." These are Cao Cao's exact words.

In the end, Xiahoudun honestly tied Cao Cao's hands and handed the other end of the rope into Bo Cai's hands.

The group soon arrived at the foot of Yangzhai City.

There were torches burning at the head of the city at night, and it was not yet late at night, and with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the guards of the city naturally spotted this suspicious team from a distance.

Someone went to pay homage to He Yi, the general who defended the city, and when He Yi came to the city, the team under the city had already approached the moat.

"Open the door, open the door!" Bocai, who was walking in front, shouted loudly.

He Yi felt that this voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, but with the experience of the last Han general defrauding the city, he couldn't help but be a little more vigilant, and asked, "Who is under the city?" ”

"He Yi, are you blind or deaf, don't you know Ben Shuai!" Bocai shouted and cursed, and he raised his head, revealing his face in the light of the moonlight and firelight.

"It's Da Qu Shuai, Da Qu Shuai is back!"

After seeing Bocai's appearance clearly, many soldiers at the head of the city immediately cheered up and cheered loudly.

Not sooner or later, but when he came back at this time, He Yi beat a drum in his heart, and cautiously probed: "Qu Shuai, didn't you say that you were captured by the Han army?" How ...... it?"

The soldiers who fled back to Yangzhai from the water had already told He Yi about Bocai's capture.

This matter is not a secret in the Yellow Turban Army.

When the soldiers at the head of the city heard this, their lax hearts immediately hung in the air again, Bo Cai came back this time, could it be that he came to attack the city for the Han army, right?

"When will it be your turn to question Ben Shuai, huh?" The coldness and irritability on Bocai's face were just right, about this matter, Xi Ce had already taught him to speak, if he blindly explained, it was easy to make people suspicious.

In order to gain the trust of the soldiers, Bo Cai's arms were slightly forced, and he tied his hands behind his back and pulled Cao Cao to the front.

The soldiers at the head of the city took a closer look down, and their mood suddenly relaxed a lot, isn't this the Han general who cheated the city a few days ago? Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of Qu Shuai.

He Yi had no doubts in his heart, and ordered the soldiers to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.

Not far from the city, two teenagers with yellow scarves on their heads whispered.

"Bonghyo, what do you think?"

Guo Jia, who had a white fox face, spread his hands and said, "What can I think, prepare to run for your life." ”

Xu Shu immediately understood what he meant, "You mean, this group of people is also a fraud, so why can't I see a single sign?" ”

"I don't see anything wrong with it, but if you think about it, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny."

As the leader of the local forces of the rebellious court, he was captured by the officials and soldiers, and he was not beheaded to show the public, but he brought back so many horsemen, in exchange for you, do you believe it?

Xu Shu pondered along this aspect, and it seemed that this was really the case.

Bo Cai's martial arts, in the eyes of laymen, may have some ability, but if he really starts to do it, Xu Shu is sure that he will be able to subdue it, and with this ability alone, it is impossible to escape from the Han army.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu was a little curious, and he asked Guo Jia: "Then why didn't you tell He Yi this time?" ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia seemed to be a little annoyed, and scolded coldly: "He? It's just stupid! ”

Two days ago, the news of Bocai's capture came back, and Guo Jia had hinted that He Yi could take the opportunity to serve as the new commander of Daqu.

However, this guy doesn't have that kind of ambition and ideas at all, and he also said that people are self-aware, he is not that material, and he can't do that kind of lack of morality.

Since you don't have the heart to improve, then why should I help you?

Guo Jia and Xu Shu quietly moved their steps, and when they touched the stone steps of the stairs, he couldn't help but look down again, and his eyes were fixed on Cao Cao's face.

He suddenly laughed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said: Interesting guy.
