"Knock knock!"

"Kill! Come on! ”

The sound of war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

Zhang Liao watched one soldier after another fall to the ground, and suddenly his heart was like a knife, and he roared loudly with a blue face: "The whole army retreats!" ”

After the soldiers dispersed, no matter how Zhang Liao provoked and called for battle, Wang Cheng did not send troops to fight. He just defended the city every day and hung up the free battle card.

In desperation, Zhang Liao had to forcibly attack the city.

But I don't want to, Wuguan is worthy of being a rare danger in the world, and Wang Cheng is not an idle person, and the defense of the city is simply impeccable.

Therefore, after losing a few hundred people, Zhang Liao had to order the withdrawal of his troops.

For five consecutive days, Zhang Liao urged his soldiers to make siege equipment in the camp, but he did not storm the pass again.

Walking to the tent, Zhang Liao asked with some concern, "How are you recovering from your injuries?" ”

In the last siege battle, he was shot in the right arm by an arrow from Wang Fang, and to this day his right arm still has no strength.

When he heard Zhang Liao's words, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Fang's secret arrow hurts people, and after breaking through the city, he must cut off his head!" ”

"It's a pity!"

After visiting Zhenggu's injury, Zhang Liao secretly said in his heart that it was a pity.

Wang Fang's strength was so great that the arrow was almost shooting into the solid bones. After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, in a short period of time, he wanted to go to the battlefield again.

"I'll send you back to Chencang to recuperate for a while, okay?"

He shook his head and said, "The general's good intentions are known, but although my right arm is injured, my left hand can still kill the enemy with a weapon. If I don't break through the city and kill the king, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart! ”

Zhang Liao saw that he kept saying that he wanted to take revenge, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart. But Zheng Gu was reluctant to leave, and Zhang Liao was not forced to let him leave.

After returning to his camp, Zhang Liao thought about it and wrote a letter to report the details of the battle here to Chen Xu.

In Zhang Liao's opinion, if Wang Cheng had been sticking to Sanguan, it would be difficult to break the city and climb to the sky with the thousands of men and horses under his command alone.

"I don't know, how long can the grain and grass in the scattered customs last?"

However, it is said that the generals have successively seized Wuguan, Kei Pass, and Hangu Pass. After Chen Xu learned the news, he was overjoyed, rewarded the generals, and sent people to reward the army.

Chen Xu put away the official document in his hand, and secretly thought in his heart: "Calculate the time, Ling'er and they are almost there!" ”

"Qiling is also coming soon, can't I put Lu Bu under house arrest after she comes?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xu smiled bitterly.

Last time, because of a misunderstanding, and Lu Bu was indeed a little too arrogant, he was deprived of military power by Chen Xu and kept him in the courtyard.

Although he was not explicitly placed under house arrest, his freedom to enter and leave the city was also restricted.

"Last time, I blamed him by mistake, he killed Li Dao and Guo Yan, and welcomed back hundreds of officials, after all, he made great achievements. If you treat him like this because of a moment of suspicion, it is difficult to guarantee that the rest of the generals will not be cold. ”

"What's more, in terms of relationships, he is my uncle after all. If you are too harsh on him, it is also a little unreasonable. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Xu already had a decision in his heart. Called Shang Dian Wei, brought more than a dozen personal soldiers, and Wen Zhao personally rushed to Lu Bu's mansion.

"Get out! Get the hell out of here! ”

Wei Xu was scolded by Lu Bu so much that he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to run out in disgrace. He and the rest of the generals under Lu Bu originally thought that if they followed Lu Bu and made military exploits, they would be reused.

But he didn't want to, Lu Bu was now directly deprived of military power, and even there were dozens of Chen Xu's personal soldiers at the door as surveillance.

As Lu Bu's generals, their identities are very embarrassing. Now that Lu Bu has lost power, their life is not easy.

Wei Xu could obviously feel that many middle- and lower-level generals had been respectful to him in the past. But now, there are many people who ignore him.

"Even if he marries Chen Xu, Feng Xian is still feared."

Wei Xu smiled bitterly, feeling a little excited. He served under Lu Bu for the longest time and was Lu Bu's brother-in-law.

Lu Bu's life was also back and forth, first to Ding Yuan, then to Dong Zhuo, and then to Yuan Shu, and only turned his head to Chen Xu after he was not treated.

Wandering around, except for gaining a bad reputation, but not getting the slightest benefit.

thought that marrying Chen Xu would dispel his guard. But he didn't want to, just because of a trivial matter, he deprived Lu Bu of his military power and sent him to the cold palace.

"I don't know, when will the lord use Fengxian again?"

Wei Xu sighed, thinking secretly in his heart.

"I've seen the lord!"

Wei Xu was walking out absentmindedly, when he suddenly heard the voice of the soldier at the door, and he was suddenly shocked.

He raised his head and saw Chen Xu, Dian Wei and others walking towards the house, and his heart was suddenly ecstatic.

Now Wei Xu's interests have been as prosperous as Lu Bu, and both losses have been lost. If Chen Xu had been hiding Lu Buxue in the future, he would probably never have a bright future.

However, today Chen Xu suddenly came to Lu Bu's mansion, which couldn't help but make Wei Xu see a glimmer of hope.

"The last general has seen the lord!"

Seeing Chen Xu walking towards the house, Wei Xu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Chen Xu looked at Wei Xu with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Uncle is also here, I just want to go to see Wen Hou, I wonder if you would like to go with me?" ”

Wei Xu's sister is Lu Qiling's mother, and he is naturally Lu Qiling's uncle. Chen Xu married Lu Qiling, and it makes sense to call Wei Xu's uncle.

Hearing Chen Xu's title, Wei Xu was immediately flattered, and he hurriedly agreed: "The lord invites him, how dare the last general refuse?" ”

Wei Xu then led Chen Xu and went to meet Lu Bu. He had just come out of Lu Bu's house, so he naturally knew where Lu Bu was staying.

"Fengxian, the lord has come to see you!"

Pushing open the door, Wei Xu took the lead in shouting, and then glanced at Lu Bu.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wei Xu and others have long stopped calling Lu Bu 'lord'. With Wei Xu's in-law relationship with Lu Bu, it is not an exaggeration to call him his cousin.

Lu Buzheng was drinking alone when he suddenly heard Wei Xu's voice, and he was just about to get angry before he felt that it would not be right. raised his head and suddenly saw Chen Xu's smiling face, and Lu Bu was stunned for a moment.

"Uncle, but you're still angry with me?"

Chen Xu didn't see anything outside, he came directly to the opposite side of Lu Bu, picked up the wine jug on the table, and poured wine directly into his mouth.

"Well, this wine tastes so good. Awei and uncle, you also come over, let's have a good drink today, so that my uncle can spend a little more. ”

Dian Wei is a big drunkard, and he has long been greedy when he smells wine. However, now because of the shortage of grain in Guanzhong, the imperial court has issued a ban on alcohol, which does not allow the waste of grain to make wine.

Therefore, the remaining liquor in Guanzhong is all left over from previous years. Even if it is Dian Wei, it is a little unlikely that he wants to drink and drink happily now.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, Dian Wei hurriedly came to the side of the desk and happily snatched a wine jug.

Although he is the commander of Chen Xu's personal army, he is now in Pusaka, and Chen Jun patrols everywhere. And in Lu Bu's mansion, he is not afraid of assassins.

Therefore, he drank without the slightest scruples. In addition, Dian Wei drank a very large amount of alcohol, and with a little alcohol on the desk, there was no way to get him drunk.

Although Lu Bu was relieved of his military power, even if he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he would not dare to harm Chen Xu. Therefore, Dian Wei did not have the slightest worries.

Wei Xu was invited by Chen Xu, so naturally he would not refuse, he carefully knelt on the edge, but he did not dare to grab wine with Dian Wei.

It was only at this time that Lu Bu came back to his senses. Although he had resentment in his heart, he didn't dare to be angry with Chen Xu, so he had to get up and salute.

"Lord ......"

As soon as Lu Bu spoke, Chen Xu hurriedly got up and grabbed his arm, and said, "In private, why does my uncle have to see him like this? ”

This period of experience has taught Lu Bu a lot, he naturally didn't dare to continue to climb up the pole, but stubbornly said: "Although I am the uncle of the lord, I don't dare to ignore the way of the monarch and the minister because of personal feelings." ”

When he said this, Lu Bu also held back the anger in his heart.

Chen Xu sighed slightly and said, "Uncle still blames me in his heart?" ”

Lu Bu was silent, but lowered his head slightly.

Wen Zhao didn't care about Lu Bu anymore, but knelt down next to the desk and poured wine into his mouth with a wine jug. A small pot of wine, and it didn't take long for Wen Zhao to finish it.

"Uncle, does it know that Qiling will arrive in Pusaka in a few days?"

Hearing Lu Qiling's name, a rare trace of tenderness flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. For this daughter, Lu Bu also loves him very much.

Wen Zhao shook the already empty wine jug, and Wei Xu hurriedly called the subordinates to let them continue to serve wine and prepare some appetizers.

Suddenly, Chen Xu said again: "Uncle, do you know, why did I treat you like this during this time?" ”

Regarding the jumpiness of Wen Zhao's words, several people present felt that they couldn't keep up with his thinking.

Wen Zhao continued: "Wen Hou is my uncle, how can I really blame you for those little things? ”

"However, Xingba is a general under my command, and even though he has many conflicts with his uncle, he is also his own brother. No matter how my brothers fight, I won't say anything. ”

"But my uncle listened to Dong Zhao's provocation and went to find trouble for his brother, but he shouldn't have been."

"If I protect my uncle, the rest of the generals will be dissatisfied. In addition, my uncle has just made great achievements, and he is already jealous. If you don't give your uncle some punishment, it's hard to guarantee that they won't gossip. ”

"As a prince, I sometimes can't help myself. Uncle but rest assured, after a period of time, after the turmoil of this matter has passed, I will ask my uncle again to help me fight in the Quartet. ”

Lu Bu was so fooled by Chen Xu, he was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Wen Zhao's move is to love me, and Wen Zhao is almost wrong!" ”

Chen Xu said with a straight face: "Even so, my uncle should still dissociate himself from the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he should not be provoked and bewitched by them." ”

Lu Bu nodded vigorously in agreement.
