"Reporting to Mr. Gongtai, we have just contacted Wen Hou's troops, and they are not far ahead."
Zhang Miao's general said respectfully.
Chen Gong looked happy when he heard this, nodded and smiled,
"That's very good."
Today, on Zhang Miao's order, he led the soldiers and horses of Chenliu County to meet Lu Bu.
As long as Lu Bu is sent to Chenliu County, he can contact other counties in Yanzhou tomorrow to fight against Cao Cao together!
Thinking of the upcoming plan, Chen Gong couldn't help but feel a little excited.
At this moment, Xu Bang on the side suddenly said,
"Brother Gongtai, look!"
Chen Gong raised his head and looked into the distance.
I saw a group of people galloping on the road, coming towards me.
It can be seen from their flags that this is Lu Bu's army.
"Don't panic, it's Marquis Wen's army!"
Chen Gong smiled loudly and comforted his men.
However, Xu Bang frowned slightly and said uneasily,
"Brother Gongtai, something seems wrong."
Chen Gong was stunned and looked at Lu Bu's army carefully.
At this glance, he also noticed something was wrong.
Lu Bu's army was full of murderous intent and seemed to be ready to fight!
Before Chen Gong could react, Lu Bu's army rushed to him in the blink of an eye.
The leader is the eight strong generals.
Zhang Liao held a long sword and slashed hard at everyone in Chenliu County!
"Crack!"
A general from Chenliu County was cut into two parts by Zhang Liao.
Until he died, he was still smiling and had no idea what had happened!
Seeing their colleagues dying tragically in front of them, everyone in Chenliu County was shocked.
Why did Lu Bu's army suddenly attack them?
"You...are you not Marquis Wen's army?"
Xu Bang came to his senses and roared with a trembling voice.
But Zhang Liao didn't even look at him. He pointed the long knife in his hand at the position of Chen Gong and Xu Si and uttered one word indifferently:
"kill!"
The Bingzhou cavalry behind him came over like a whirlwind and a lingering cloud!
The combat power of Zhang Miao's army was originally inferior to that of the Bingzhou cavalry.
In addition, they did not expect that Lu Bu would suddenly launch an attack.
In just an instant, the men and horses brought by Chen Gong were washed to pieces!
Looking at the battlefield where one side was being massacred, Chen Gong was completely stunned.
What's going on?
"Brother Gongtai, run!"
Xu Bang on the side quickly pulled Chen Gong.
Only then did Chen Gong react.
Seeing Lu Bu's army almost rushing in front of him, he gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and quickly retreated in the direction from which he came!
No matter why Lu Bu suddenly turned against him, the most important thing right now was to save his life.
As Chen Gong, Xu Si and others fled in panic, Chen Liu's troops were completely defeated.
Lu Bu commanded the army with a sneer, chasing them ten miles away, and then retreated with his troops!
"Marquis Wen, Zhang Miao's strength is no more than this."
Cao Xing laughed and said,
"We can take advantage of this opportunity to attack Chenliu County directly!"
"Okay, pass on my military order, quickly clean up the battlefield, and go straight to Chenliu!"
Lu Bu laughed wildly.
…
Even if Lu Bu's men and horses could not be seen behind them, Chen Gong and Xu Si did not dare to stay.
They galloped on horseback until they were exhausted before returning to Chenliu County.
Zhang Miao, who came after hearing the news, was shocked when he saw the two people in a panic.
"Gongtai! Xu Bang! Didn't you two go to greet Lu Bu? Why did it end up like this?"
Chen Gong gasped for air and said sadly,
"Prefect, that bastard Lu Bu suddenly turned his back and ordered an attack on us!"
"How is this possible? Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Miao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
"This is absolutely true!"
Xu Bang also looked sad.
"If Brother Gongtai and I hadn't run so fast, we would have been killed by Lu Bu's army right now!"
Zhang Miao was completely stunned.
If it were Cao Cao's army that attacked Chen Gong and Xu Si, he would still be able to accept it.
But Lu Bu suddenly turned against him, which made Zhang Miao unbelievable.
They went to welcome Lu Bu this time to ask Lu Bu to serve as the shepherd of Yanzhou.
Lu Bu had no motive or reason to fall out with him!
If he didn't believe in Chen Gong and Xu Bang's character, he would have even scolded them!
Chen Gong rested for a moment, began to recall the whole incident, and calmly analyzed,
"Prefect, Lu Bu suddenly turned against us. Something must have happened that we don't know about."
"You are right, but what can happen in just a day or two?"
Zhang Miao frowned, his expression full of confusion.
While the three of them were confused, a soldier hurried in.
"Prefect, it's bad! Lu Bu's army appeared ten miles outside the city and is marching towards us!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all three of them changed!
No one expected that Lu Bu would be so unwilling to let go!
"Gongtai, what...what should we do?"
Zhang Miao suddenly panicked.
"Prefect, don't worry!"
Chen Gong's face was as dark as water, and he comforted Zhang Miao and said,
"We might as well send an envoy to see Lu Bu first and find out what happened."
"Yeah!"
Zhang Miao nodded repeatedly, thought about it, and said to Xu Bang,
"Sir, I hope you can go meet Lu Bu on my behalf!"
"It is my duty as a subordinate!"
Xu Bang didn't refuse, stood up and walked out.
…
When Xu Bang arrived at the city gate, Lu Bu's army had already surrounded Chenliu County.
Looking at the neatly dressed and murderous troops, Xu Si swallowed his saliva and said to the soldiers on the side,
"Open the city gate!"
A small gap opened in the city gate, and Xu Bin rode out alone, holding an envoy.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao said to Lu Bu beside him,
"Marquis Wen, do you want to meet them?"
Lu Bu sneered,
"It doesn't hurt to meet!"
With his consent, Xu Si got through unimpeded and quickly arrived in front of the army.
"I, Xu Si, have come to pay homage to Marquis Wen on orders from the prefect!"
Xu Bang said respectfully to the majestic Lu Bu.
"Stop doing this!"
Lu Bu's face darkened and he said coldly,
"Zhang Miao, this bastard, why did I send you here?"
"Reporting to Marquis Wen, my governor sincerely welcomes Marquis Wen to take over Yanzhou. I wonder why Marquis Wen suddenly launched an attack on our army?"
Xu Si was puzzled.
"Hahaha, Zhang Miao is acting so coquettishly, does he think I am a three-year-old child?!"
Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed.
But his words made Xu Bang even more confused.
When Lu Bu saw this, he thought Xu Bang was pretending to be crazy, and threatened him coldly,
"I am too lazy to waste time with you. Go back and tell Zhang Miao that if he doesn't want to die, he should surrender quickly!"
"Wenyuan, send him away!"
Zhang Liao cupped his hand,
"Here!"
Xu Bang came to visit Lu Bu in confusion, and was sent away in confusion.
Seeing that he was about to leave Lu Bu's military formation, he hurriedly rushed to Zhang Liao aside and said,
"General, please tell me next time, what happened to make Marquis Wen so angry?"
