Chapter 337, Not Fear of Death, Fear of Death Without a Burial Place
In Xuzhou, Xiapi City, today is only the second day that Big Er diverted water to flood the city. In Xiapi City, the morale of Bingzhou's army has already dropped to its lowest point.
The Bingzhou army, together with the Liangzhou army and horses, were the two heroes of the northern region in the late Han Dynasty.
From Ding Yuan to the war to Dong Zhuo, to the defeat of Li Cui, and to the danger of joint breeding, have you ever experienced it?
Although the flood of Xiapi is fierce, if the whole army is united, the Yishui River will eventually be exhausted!
The fighting spirit of Bingzhou warriors, the mighty Han frontier army, were extremely defeated, not because of floods, but actually because the main general Lu Fengxian, the most powerful general in the world, had strong self-doubt after being defeated by Fang Guang one after another.
Lu Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses. What a rebellious person Lu Bu is?
A heart that despises the world's most powerful warriors, but it's just that these people shrink back and become depressed after encountering setbacks one after another, which makes it even more outrageous.
Lu Bu seemed to feel that hiding in the tall building of his mansion, overlooking the Yishui River, with no one serving him wine and surrounded by soldiers, he would no longer be in danger in front of Xiapi.
When the people of the city needed Lu Bu the most, Fengxian lay dormant and could not come out. Chen Gong and Chen Deng continued to ask for an audience, but were turned away by Wei Xubu who was guarding the palace.
Cao's army held back and waited for the rammed earth wall to soften and collapse on a large scale before attacking.
Chen Deng and his son, from a high-ranking family, walked in mud and water every day and repaired the city together with the civilians and soldiers. In the past two days, the resentment in their hearts had grown to the limit.
Maybe God, at this time, also wants to accept Lu Bu's green skin.
It started to rain heavily in Xiapi today. Up high in the building, the Wei family was extremely attentive, serving Lu Bu a drink.
Fengxian was drunk and dazed, looking at the rain curtain outside the building, thinking of what happened in his life, a brave man, he couldn't help but feel a little crazy for a while.
"When I was in Chang'an, I met Diao Chan for the first time at the residence of Dong Zei. It was also winter, with heavy rain, and the summer lotus bloomed in the cold winter. The wind was cool and yet warm!"
"Now that several years have passed, the wind and rain are still there, the beauty's grace is no longer there, and thieves and soldiers are surrounding the city. It is a crime that is not a war, a crime that is not a war!"
"Where's Diao Chan? I've wanted her to serve me since yesterday, but she hasn't come yet. Why, now that I've lost power, I should be slow to kiss her?"
Lu Bu had already downed a jar of shochu and could not hold back his words. When he talked about Diao Chan, he was filled with resentment and deep reluctance.
His newly adopted concubine, the Wei family, hated Diao Chan the most in her husband's heart.
It is obvious that the foxy girl has been avoiding Lu Bu intentionally or unintentionally, but my husband is becoming more and more concerned about her.
Sister Wei Xu didn't know much about it. Cao Jun could enter the city at any time at this time. In her heart, she was still walking through the script of The Legend of Zhen Huan.
"Ms. sir, does my sister have someone else in her heart? I heard the maid who serves Diao Chan say that my sister often walks in the garden of the mansion, and in autumn, picks flowers and talks to herself!"
"I am also a woman. I know what is on women's minds. Only when there is concern in my heart can I be so crazy. I heard that in Yanzhou that day, my sister had been away from my husband for several days. Among them."
Wei added fuel to the fire, created his own script, and by some strange combination of circumstances, got infinitely closer to the truth.
She intended to make Lu Bu angry, and she was talking happily when suddenly her neck tightened and Lu Bu grabbed her by the skirt of her chest and lifted her up.
"You ugly woman, what are you talking nonsense about? Diao Chan is my concubine, so why should I care about you? Who can show my infatuation to you?"
"Both of you, brother and sister, are incompetent? My big event will be ruined in your hands. Get away quickly. You have made me angry. I will throw you down from the building now!"
When Lu Bu was furious, Mrs. Wei's face turned pale with fear. The woman hurriedly fled from the roof of the building. On the stairs, her pretty face was already twisted and twitching due to jealousy and anger.
Under the tall building, two highly crowned scribes almost collided with Wei. Seeing the woman go away in despair, the two leaders of Lu Bu's brain trust looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"You are a common man and a witch! You betrayed me and betrayed me. When I free my hands, I will hang you under the city of Xiapi for everyone in the world to watch and act as a warning to others!"
"Huh? Who are you two? Why didn't you call me here? It turns out it's Gongtai, Yuanlong!"
Lu Bu was furious and noticed someone climbing up the stairs. He took a few steps to Fang Tian's painted halberd in the corner and grabbed the halberd.
He rubbed his eyes, and then he saw the identity of the two people in front of him, and there was a look of impatience on their faces.
"Gongtai, Yuanlong, and you two, shouldn't you be inspecting the four gates and repairing the city at this time? Why are you here, Cao thieves, raining down soldiers?"
"My lord, that's not right. The Yishui River and the rainwater have combined to cause several city walls in the south of the city to collapse!"
"The city's people are not strong enough to build the city. I asked General Wei Xu to serve me, but he insisted on shirk, so I came to ask my lord to give this man military orders!"
"For this trivial matter, just come and get my military orders from the captain. Why do you need to come in person?"
Chen Gong patiently explained to Lu Bu that the man in front of him was unparalleled in martial arts, but in fact his personality was as changeable as water, far from being tough. He knew it in his heart.
Originally, he had reminded his lord in words that it was time to stabilize the morale of the army, but unexpectedly, Lu Bu did not understand the meaning of his words at all.
Chen Deng is younger, more passionate, and even more unhappy when looking at Lu Bu.
His white robe was completely stained by mud and water. When he saw Lu Bu, he felt disgusted that someone was coming here. He narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.
"My lord, Lu Fengxian, in Xiapi City, what is broken right now is not the four walls, but the people's hearts!"
"At this critical moment, my lord should sacrifice his life in front of all the people and soldiers to reassure the soldiers and take shelter here. What if Cao's army comes to attack?"
Chen Gong was a local master in Xuzhou. He turned to Lu Bu because he hated the big ears. He was upright by nature and had little respect for the most powerful general in the world. When Lu Bu heard his words, he was very rude!
"How dare you speak to me like this!"
"What is there to fear when Cao's army attacks? My red rabbit can swim across the river as if it were flat ground!"
"I am painting a halberd in the sky. Who can stop the heavenly beings? One person, one horse, and Diao Chan. Where in the Nine Provinces can't I go? What do you greedy people have to do with me?"
"What? Seeing that I have lost power, you two want to do what Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did?"
Lu Bu's words were more chilling than the heavy rain in winter.
Chen Gong and Chen Deng then realized that Lu Bu had no fighting spirit in his heart. He was waiting for the city to be broken and to give up everything. Both of them, together with the soldiers who were still persisting, were abandoned.
The most powerful general in the world, who refuses to fight, surrender or leave, is actually so unbearable when he is in decline.
Chen Deng's heart felt cold, and he wanted to say more, but his sleeves were pulled a few times by Chen Gong beside him, and then he restrained himself.
The two of them had nothing to say anymore. They bowed slightly to Lu Fengxian, who was pouring himself a drink, and then retreated towards the stairs without saying anything.
Chen Deng gritted his teeth and walked behind Chen Gong. If Lu Bu had not drawn his halberd every day, he would have wanted to beat someone up.
Chen Yuanlong was in complete despair at this time. Just as he was concentrating on a life-saving strategy for both young and old, he suddenly heard Chen Gong in front of him speaking desolately to himself.
"I am Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai of Yanzhou!"
"When I am in the desperate situation of Xuzhou, the only thing I am worried about is defeat! What I am worried about is dying here without a burial place!"
