The one who scolded Lu Xiang was his eldest brother Lu Kuang. Lu Kuang stared nervously at his brother and looked around. Fortunately, he was surrounded by his close confidants and the real soldiers of the army were still there.
Later, Lu Kuang breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glared at Lu Xiang fiercely and shouted in a low voice: "You idiot! Didn't I tell you a long time ago! Never mention that matter again! Your head is broken
Do you still want it or not?”
Being scolded by his elder brother, Lu Xiang was also startled and subconsciously shrank his head. However, after looking around and making sure that there were no outsiders, he became a little tougher and said: "Brother! It's nothing to make a fuss about! There are people all around.
He is our own brother, what are you afraid of!"
"Stupid!" Lu Kuang cursed in a low voice again, but had to persuade him earnestly: "We are under someone else's roof now, so we must be careful when doing things! Can you guarantee that what you just said will not be true?
Will it reach Duke Cao’s ears?”
"Uh!" Lu Xiang originally wanted to affirm firmly, but when he thought of Cao Cao's narrowed eyes, Lu Xiang couldn't help but shudder. He had seen this before when he was with Yuan Shao.
He met Cao Cao several times, but it was not until Lu Xiang took refuge in Cao Cao's tent that he realized that this man, who was not tall, was difficult for him to see through! Even if he was standing next to him, Lu Xiang would feel a pain in his back.
Feeling cold, Lu Xiang suddenly felt less confident!
Seeing that Lu Xiang stopped talking, Lu Kuang also sighed deeply and said: "Second brother! Now that we have made the decision, we can't look back! Let's continue working under Cao Gong honestly! Maybe we can
The two brothers still have a chance to turn around! Even if we can't find the chance, it's not a good thing if we just live like this mediocrely!"
The Lu brothers are only in their thirties now, in their prime, but they didn't expect that Lu Kuang would already have such decadent thoughts. After hearing Lu Kuang's words, Lu Xiang was a little confused, but he just wanted to
When he started to persuade, a soldier next to Lu Xiang suddenly shouted loudly: "General! Look! There seems to be a situation ahead!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing the words of the soldiers, the Lu brothers quickly turned their heads and looked around. Their mission this time was to inspect the situation in Sizhou. If any major changes occurred, they would report to Luoyang immediately.
!When the two brothers turned to look in the direction pointed by the soldiers, their bodies trembled at the same time, and their pupils shrank suddenly, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying!
On the horizon of a plain to the west of them, they saw a black shadow, no, a black shadow flying towards them. From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud! But Lu Kuang and
The two Lu Xiang brothers are qualified warriors after all, so naturally they will not really regard the black shadow as a dark cloud. Moreover, the vibrations coming from their mounts have already made them understand what the black shadow is!
"Enemy attack!" Lu Kuang immediately shouted loudly. At the same time, he turned his horse's head and shouted to the more than a thousand Wei soldiers following him: "Quick! Retreat quickly! There is an enemy attack! Retreat quickly!"
Although we are almost close to Hongnong, Hongnong is to the west, and now he is stopped by the sudden appearance of the enemy! For now, we can only turn around and rush to Caoyang City in the east, where there is a city.
As a cover, there might be a glimmer of hope! As for staying to retreat from the enemy, this idea has never appeared in Lu Kuang's mind! The reason is very simple. From a distance, the number of enemies is at least three or four thousand. The strength of both sides
The gap is too big! If we fight on the spot, I'm afraid I won't even be able to stop him from charging for one round!
In a hurry, it is not easy to make a thousand-man team change direction and escape, not to mention that Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are not very capable people! It was not easy to change the direction of the troops.
, but the enemy was getting closer and closer. Lu Kuang took the time to turn his head and take a look, but his eyes became more and more desperate! Because he could now see clearly that this enemy army was clearly a cavalry!
In such a plain area, it is absolutely impossible for infantry to outrun cavalry, there is no doubt about this! Immediately Lu Kuang gritted his teeth, turned to his brother and said: "Second brother! Don't worry about these people!
Let’s run!”
"Run?" Lu Xiang was about to order his men to retreat, but he didn't expect his elder brother to say such a sentence and looked at Lu Kuang in surprise. However, when Lu Xiang turned around at Lu Kuang's signal,
Look, his face also turned pale, but he still said with some reluctance: "What about them? Are we just going to leave them alone?"
Regarding his brother's indecision, Lu Kuang was so worried! He shouted directly: "When is this now? It would be good if we can save our own lives! Let's go! If we don't leave, it will be too late!" After that!
, Lu Kuang waved his riding whip and hit Lu Xiang's horse directly on the buttocks. The horse was in pain and neighed, then raised its hooves and rushed forward, bringing many of his own soldiers in front with it.
He was knocked to the ground. Lu Kuang did not hesitate, raised his whip again, this time whipped his mount, and ran after Lu Xiang!
This time the Lu brothers were only ordered to patrol Sizhou, so except for the two brothers, the others were not equipped with horses at all. After running away like this, the Lu brothers left behind such a large group of Wei army officers and soldiers, and even
Even their loyal confidants were abandoned by them to meet the group of black-armored cavalry who came quickly from behind!
The Lu brothers, who were running wildly on horseback, didn't care about the life or death of their abandoned men! In short, as long as they could save their own lives, that was more important than anything else! After running for dozens of miles, the Lu brothers finally slowly
After stopping their mounts and looking at Caoyang City not far ahead, the brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiang gasped for air. After turning around to make sure that the enemy was not chasing him, he looked at Lu Kuang, who was also dressed in rough clothes, with horror on his face and said, "Brother! Who are those people? Are they the Western Qin Army?
?Why do they suddenly appear here?"
Lu Kuang, who was calmer than his younger brother, took a few deep breaths. After steadying his breathing, he frowned and said, "It must be the Western Qin Army! Otherwise, who else in Sizhou would dare to act so blatantly?"
Take action against us?"
"Western Qin Army!" Lu Xiang showed a hint of panic. Although he had never fought against the Western Qin Army, the two brothers had participated in the Chenliu Alliance with Yuan Shao back then! At Hulao Pass, Luo Yang led
I can still vividly remember how powerful the Yongzhi Army was! Lu Xiang quickly shouted: "How is that possible? Isn't the Western Qin Army in Hangu Pass? How did it get here?"
"Well!" Regarding his brother's question, Lu Kuang did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment. Suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, and he clapped his hands and said, "That's right! The West Qin Army must have some plan! Two
Brother! Weren’t you still complaining about not being able to wait for the opportunity before? Now it’s great! A good God-given opportunity has come! Let’s report this matter to Cao Gong! It must be a great achievement!”
Lu Xiang's mind was slower than that of his elder brother, but he quickly understood what his elder brother meant, and said with a smile on his face: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that! Great! This is great!"
Now we brothers can be proud and proud under Cao Cao's tent!" As he spoke, Lu Xiang couldn't help laughing, as if he had been reused by Cao Cao and became a general with a heavy army!
Lu Kuang was also unusually anxious and hurriedly pushed Lu Xiang and said: "It's no longer necessary! Let's go to Caoyang to rest for a while! Then we will rush to Luoyang immediately! We have to report this matter to Cao Gong personally.
! You can't give this great credit to others!" When Lu Kuang said this, Lu Xiang also understood and nodded in agreement, and the two brothers rode quickly towards Caoyang City in front of them.
Caoyang City is not actually a big city, but because it is close to Hangu Pass, Cao Cao has put a lot of effort into the cities in front of Hangu Pass over the years. The city defense of Caoyang City is not much worse than those of the big cities!
When the Lu brothers arrived at the city gate, they saw that the city gate was tightly closed. Lu Xiang was anxious to go to Luoyang to receive his merit, so he shouted towards the top of the city: "Here comes! Hurry up and open the city gate."
Open!"
Lu Xiang shouted for a long time, but did not see any movement at the top of the city. Just when Lu Xiang was about to get angry, he heard a creak, and the city gate was fully opened. From inside the city gate, people were slowly opening.
A group of people walked out slowly.
When Lu Xiang saw someone finally coming out, he was about to curse. Although the two brothers were not successful in Cao Cao's tent now, they were still subordinates directly under Cao Cao after all. The guard of Caoyang City was not worthy of even carrying their shoes.
! Not to mention that they now have such important information, and their career is just around the corner. How can they be polite to such a small guard! But Lu Xiang just opened his mouth and hasn't cursed out yet. Lu Kuang is next to him.
But he stretched out his hand and stopped him.
Looking at Lu Kuang again, his face was pale at this moment. Although he could barely keep calm, his arm holding Lu Xiang was trembling. Because he had clearly seen the group of people walking out of the city gate.
The costumes are clearly the same as the troops that suddenly appeared before! Even a fool knows that these two groups are together!
There were not many people walking out of the city gate, only about a dozen of them. All of them were wearing heavy black armor, and even their mounts were covered with heavy helmets. Among them, the leading man was tall and tall, wearing a face-covering steel helmet and holding a broadsword.
, stared closely at the Lu brothers, and shouted proudly: "Liangzhou Lidu's heavy cavalry Pang De! We are here under the orders of the general! Why don't you surrender quickly!"
