Lü Bu's army of 50,000 set out from Wen County, traveled all the way east, walked for three or four days, and was about to arrive at the county seat of Hanoi.

At this time, in the county guard mansion, Wang Kuang, who was wearing a county guard uniform, was making an extremely difficult choice.

"Lord, Lu Bu's army has reached twenty miles outside the city, and we can't hesitate any longer!"

In the empty mansion, there were only two people, Wang Kuang and his Han Hao.

As early as when Zhang Liao attacked Luoyang, he had already sent the general Han Bao to persuade Wang Kuang to surrender to Cheng. Knowing that Luoyang was lost, Wang Kuang at that time was shocked and angry, and blamed Han Bao for not saying anything, and immediately summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.

However, what disappointed Wang Kuang was that among the many officials and generals under him, they all advocated peace, and only Han Hao was the only one who fought to the death with Lu Bu.

Later, Cai Yong arrived in Hanoi, and after some lobbying, Wang Kuang accepted Toucheng's suggestion.

Knowing that Wang Kuang presented the seal of the county guard, Han Hao was greatly disappointed, but he never gave up the idea of fighting, and often came to find Wang Kuang and proposed various feasible combat strategies.

Looking at the short-bearded man with an excited expression in the hall, Wang Kuang shook his head and sighed leisurely, as if he had accepted his fate: "Yuan Hei, the general trend has gone, and the soldiers of Hanoi have no heart to fight, and they are all afraid of Lu Bu." If it is a situation that is bound to be lost, why fight again and harm the people in the city. ”

If you can be a stable prince, who is willing to bow your head and send people under the fence.

Wang Kuang didn't want to surrender, but the current situation was stronger than people, and he had no choice at all.

Lu Bu's bravery, who can stop it?

The scene of the tiger prison was closed back then, and Wang Kuang still remembers it vividly, as if it was yesterday.

"But once you sacrifice the county town, your lord will definitely be harmed by Lu Bu!"

Han Hao hurriedly said that when Wang Kuang was begging Dong, he and Lu Bu stood on the opposite side, and even sent generals to take Lu Bu's life.

Lu Bu led the army this time, and he may not have the idea of revenge. He dared to behead Gao Yuan, who was several times tougher than Wang Kuang, and naturally dared to kill Wang Kuang.

"Gao Yuan has been rampant in the township, and the people have been fishing for several years, which is self-inflicted, and I can't complain about Lu Bu." Wang Kuang didn't dare to agree with this, if he wasn't afraid of the power of the Gao family and the Yuan family, how could he tolerate Gao Yuan for so many years.

He also thought about it now, and when Lu Bu's army entered the city, he took the initiative to ask to step down from the post of county guard and return to the idyllic mountains and forests. I believe that Lu Bu should not be too embarrassed by him, a bad old man whose loess is buried in his neck.

Even if Lu Bu was narrow-minded and really wanted to execute himself, he had lived for more than fifty years, which was enough.

At this moment, Wang Kuang could see it, and he ordered: "Pass my password, and all the officials in the city will follow me out of the city to meet me." ”

"Lord!"

Han Hao increased his voice, and he almost stomped his feet in a hurry, because he didn't want to see Wang Kuang jump into the fire pit.

Wang Kuang also knew that Han Hao was thinking about himself, but at this time, no one could save himself, he waved his hand, and his tone was firm: "No need to say anything, I have made up my mind." ”

"Alas!"

Han Hao sighed heavily, a little angry, and then arched his hand with Wang Kuang and went out to convey the matter.

The sun was setting in the west, and the mighty army arrived under the city of Hanoi.

"Hanoi County Shou Wang Kuang, with all the officials of Hanoi, greet Da Sima!" Wang Kuang, who was standing outside the city, shouted loudly, took two steps forward, and bowed.

The officials behind him also bent down and shouted in unison: "I'll wait to see Da Sima." ”

Lu Bu, who ordered to stop the march, got off his horse, stepped forward to help Wang Kuang, looked at this white old man with temples who was more than a circle older than himself, and laughed heartily: "I have long heard that the king has made the king righteous and squandered money, and his reputation is spread all over the world, so I can't wait to meet sooner." See you today, Bu's life - no regrets, hahaha......"

Lu Bu's laughter completely stunned Wang Kuang, he never thought that Lu Bu would be such an opening statement, and even thought about it countless times in his heart.

"When you are young, you should not be praised by Da Sima." Wang Kuang reluctantly laughed, pondering the meaning of Lu Bu's words.

Lu Bu smiled, no longer spoke to Wang Kuang, but looked at the elegant old man next to Wang Kuang, and greeted: "Everyone Cai, don't come here for a long time!" ”

Cai Yong returned the salute, and a trace of warmth appeared on his weather-beaten face: "Lao Da Sima misses, everything is fine with Yong." ”

For Lu Bu, Cai Yong has always been grateful in his heart.

This time in Hanoi, Cai Yong can be said to be duty-bound. First, Wang Kuang was his old friend for many years, and he couldn't bear to see him die at the hands of Lu Bu; Second, it can prevent a war and avoid the destruction of human lives, which can be regarded as a great merit.

After a simple greeting, Wang Kuang welcomed Lu Bu into the city.

Lu Bu rode back onto Chisu, and when he saw Wang Kuang walking, he asked him to bring a horse for Wang Kuang to ride.

This seemingly inconspicuous little thing gave Wang Kuang a dignity.

When I entered the city, the streets of the city were already lined with crowds of people.

This is not only the meaning of Wang Kuang, but also the meaning of the people themselves.

Wang Kuang ordered all the people in the city to come to greet him, and the people also wanted to witness the world-shattering Wenhou demeanor, coupled with the spread of the high and far-reaching things some time ago, which made the people very happy, and their good impression of Lu Bu, who had never met before, rose sharply.

Cheers came and went, as if to greet the triumphant hero.

Seeing this, Lu Bu's indifferent face on weekdays became much kinder, and he nodded to the people from time to time, which caused the people to cheer and cheer.

Walking through the avenue surrounded by crowds, Wang Kuang turned sideways and invited Lu Bu: "The lower official has prepared a banquet in the county government, and he will take the wind and wash the dust for the big Sima, and invite the big Sima to enjoy the light." ”

"Then there will be the envoy of King Lao."

Lu Bu agreed and ordered Gao Shun to command the army to find a place to station first, and he himself only brought a few guards, as well as strategists such as Xi Ce and Xiao Ji to the banquet.

Entering the gate of the county government and coming to the dining hall, Wang Kuang bowed slightly at the door, made a gesture of please, and signaled Lu Bu to advance.

Lu Bu was also not polite, and led Xi Ce and the others to take the lead in the hall.

"Lord, lord!"

Not far from the hall, Wang Kuang heard someone whispering to himself. He looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that Han Hao was waving at him, signaling to go over.

Wang Kuang didn't know why, so he went over and asked, "Yuan Hei, what are you doing here?" ”

"Lord, this is a godsend, you must firmly grasp it!" Han Hao pulled Wang Kuang aside and lowered his voice, his eyes full of excitement and joy that could not be concealed.

"What's the opportunity?" Wang Kuang only felt confused, and he became more and more incomprehensible.

"This time, Lu Bu actually only brought such a few people. Fang Tian's painting halberd and Chi Su were not by his side, and Lu Bu with his bare hands was no longer worried. Han Hao said very conceitedly, and the joy in his eyes gradually turned into coldness: "To be honest, I have ambushed three hundred sword and axe men and five hundred archers in the mansion. As long as the lord gives an order, we can immediately rush into the hall and chop Lu Bu into pulp! ”

"Yuanhei, don't mess around!"

Hearing this, Wang Kuang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly dissuaded him.

Lu Bu's army is all in the city, and if he kills Lu Bu at this juncture, if the generals under his command are not controlled, they may stain the entire county city with blood.

However, where can Han Hao still listen at this moment, at this time he is like a bankrupt gambler, all he thinks in his heart is desperate madness: "Lord, time is running out, this is our last chance!" ”
