The enemy is right in front of me, how can I fall here?

Cheng Lian held the last breath in his heart, moved the spear he was holding forward, and finally stepped out with his right leg. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Snort~"

A spear easily pierced Cheng Lian's body, running through his back and chest, and scarlet blood fell to the ground drop by drop along the tip of the spear.

Cheng Lian's whole body froze for a moment, then slowly turned his head, looked at the man on horseback, his eyes were blank, "It's you?" ”

"It's me." The man's eyes were cold, and there was no mercy in his gaze towards Cheng Lian.

The breeze is slow, and Cheng Lian's heart is like falling into an ice cellar.

Once upon a time, Wu Chong was still Cheng Lian's most relied on confidant, but now he was going to die at his hands, Cheng Lian couldn't figure it out, and asked: "Why?" ”

Wu Chong sneered, changing his usual flattery, "Xianbei people can let me take charge of Yunzhong County, and you, can you?" ”

After Cheng Lian heard the answer, he laughed out loud with a mouthful of blood, and then said word by word: "So, you became a dog of Xianbei people?" ”

This sentence made Wu Chong furious, and the spear in his hand shook, instantly crushing Cheng Lian's heart.

Cheng Lian fell to the ground on his back, at this time he felt that his body was extremely light, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, and the clouds on the horizon were very white, just like what he had seen when he was a child.

…………

Guhe Village is located in the southwest of Mayi, the location is remote, coupled with the southern invasion of the Xianbei people, the young and middle-aged people in the village quickly fled completely, leaving only more than ten elderly lonely old people.

After Song Xian and Cao Xing broke through the siege, they fled here with the remaining remnants of the defeated army, which was also the place where they had made an appointment with Lu Bu in advance.

In the evening, in the anxious expectation of everyone, I finally saw that tall figure.

Song Xian and Cao Xing hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lu Bu off the horse.

Seeing a trace of paleness on Lu Bu's face, Cao Xuan asked worriedly: "Boss, are you okay, are you injured?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head, his voice was a little weak: "I'm fine, it's just a little too exhausted, just rest for two days." ”

When everyone heard this, their tense hearts suddenly eased a lot.

After Lu Bu rested for a while, he gathered all the people together.

At the beginning, there were nearly 2,000 soldiers in the Beiguang Captain's Department, but now there are less than 600 left, and Lu Bu's heart also feels heavy.

Lu Bu first relayed the news of Cheng Lian's murder to everyone, and told everyone that Wu Chong had taken refuge in the Xianbei people, and he killed Cheng Lian with his own hands.

When everyone learned the news, they were shocked and angry, and scolded Wu Chong for being "a pig and dog beast without a heart".

Lu Bu originally wanted to rescue Cheng Lian's body, but the Xianbei soldiers continued to surge, coupled with the rugged terrain of Huangliangdao, which was not suitable for riding at all, Lu Bu had no choice but to turn back and fight his way out of the encirclement.

After everyone scolded them, someone stood up and expressed their worries: "Now we only have five or six hundred people left, what should we do if the Xianbei people find us?" ”

As soon as this person's words came out, the soldiers exchanged heads and ears, which caused a lot of discussion.

"The generals are dead, what else can we do?" It was a rugged man who spoke in the current position of centurion.

The last remaining military Sima in the team also opened his mouth and put forward his opinion: "Why don't we choose a new leader first, and then let General Zhang decide when we return to Yanmen Pass." ”

"That's a good suggestion, I agree with it." Someone raised their hand in agreement.

"Well, I'm in favor of it too."

"It's a good idea."

The proposal was quickly accepted, but another question arose as to who should take up the new leadership position.

Everyone invariably set their eyes on Lu Bu, if it weren't for Song Xian Cao Xing, who was under Lu Bu, who led them to fight their way out of a bloody way, they would probably have been accompanied by Huang Liangdao's lonely souls and wild ghosts by now.

Coupled with Lu Bu's bravery, he naturally became the best candidate.

Hou Cheng, Wei Musheng and dozens of others also looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes, they were different from other soldiers, but everyone who participated in the Battle of Pingfengkou had an almost blind worship and trust for Lu Bu.

Hypocrisy and procrastination have never been Lu Bu's character, and under the expectations of everyone, Lu Bu nodded in response, and instantly won a cheer from the soldiers.

A waning moon hung high in the sky, and a sadness was revealed in the cold and faint moonlight.

Lu Bu glanced up at the sky and said to the soldiers who were huddled around the bonfire: "It's not early, and everyone is already sleepy, so it's better to rest first, and if there is something to discuss tomorrow, the Xianbei people shouldn't be able to find this place for a while." ”

The people received the order and returned to their tents.

Lu Bu also found Cao Xing and Song Xian, and asked him to take twenty people to take turns to patrol the night, just in case.

Cao Xing made a simple count of the number of people in the army and reported it to Lu Bu, there was only one military Sima left, three more military marquis, seven centurions, and a total of five hundred and thirty-eight soldiers.

Lu Bu's brows furrowed slightly, the current situation is not optimistic. There are still a lot of wounded among these soldiers reported by Cao Xing, and the most people who really have combat effectiveness are only 300 people, and once they encounter Xianbei people, they will be in trouble.

At midnight, the soldiers in the tent slept soundly, and there was a quiet place all around, and only occasionally there was a sound of rustling footsteps.

Cao Xuan opened his mouth and yawned widely, patted his mouth twice with his hand, and said to a cadre of soldiers who followed him: "Cheer me up and brighten my eyes." ”

The soldiers who were patrolling the night behind him responded in unison.

At this time, Song Xian brought a team of soldiers over, and just happened to meet Cao Xing.

Song Xian stepped forward and said to Cao Xing: "It's time to change me, you go down and rest." ”

Cao Xing was already sleepy, and he was not polite to Song Xian, and yawned and said: "Then I'll leave it to you, I'll go to sleep first, but I'll be trapped." ”

Song Xian nodded, signaling that Cao Xuan could withdraw.

Cao Xuan personally sent his soldiers back to their respective tents before preparing to return to the camp. This is what Lu Bu taught him, there is no difference between people, if you want to win the respect and support of others, you must first learn to take others to heart.

Cao Xing's residence was in the westernmost part, and when he passed through Lu Bu's tent, Cao Xuan saw that there was still light in Lu Bu's tent.

Cao Xing wondered in his heart, gnawed his fingers and secretly wondered: If the head doesn't sleep at night, could it be that he is practicing some kind of world-shattering skill?

No, I'll have to take a look, and I'll learn it when the time comes, and see how I clean up your Song man.

Cao Xing thought so in his heart, and suddenly his whole person was full of energy and sleepy. Creeping to Lu Bu's tent door, Cao Xuan raised his hand and carefully opened a gap, and then closed his eyes.

Under the flickering candlelight, Lu Bu was kneeling in front of a simple wooden desk, his left hand resting lightly on the table, and his right hand holding a roll of bamboo slips.

Cao Xing was like hitting a ghost, so frightened that he quickly rubbed his eyes, the man who had burned the house full of bamboo slips and books, now he actually started to turn the books!
