"Marquis Wen, we might as well wait until tomorrow. If Zhang Miao does not sincerely surrender, it will not be too late to attack the city."
Zhang Liao nodded in agreement.
Lu Bu thought for a moment, finally nodded, and said to Xu Si in a cold voice,
"Okay, go back and tell Zhang Miao, and I will believe him again!"
"Marquis Wen is wise!"
Xu Si was overjoyed and quickly saluted Lu Bu, then stood up and left.
After deciding to wait for Zhang Miao to surrender tomorrow, Lu Bu was no longer in a hurry to attack the city.
He ordered the army to camp and wait for the next day.
That night.
After Lu Bu had dinner, he went to Yan's bed early.
While the couple was sleeping soundly, there was suddenly a noise coming from outside.
The two were awakened from their dreams.
"Husband, what happened?"
Yan was timid and looked at Lu Bu worriedly.
Lu Bu listened intently, and what came from outside was clearly a cry of death!
"You wait inside the camp and don't move around!"
He warned with a solemn expression, quickly put on his armor, picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and walked outside.
By chance, Zhang Liao came rushing over.
"Marquis Wen!"
"Wenyuan, what happened?"
"Reporting to Marquis Wen, I just met General Xuan Gao (Zang Ba) who was in charge of the night watch. He said that there was an enemy night attack just now!"
Lu Bu was shocked and said quickly,
"How's it going?"
"Thanks to General Xuan Gao, the enemy did not succeed."
Zhang Liao replied.
Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice,
"Wenyuan, come with me!"
He took Zhang Liao and his soldiers and went straight to the gate of the camp.
Zang Ba, who is on duty tonight, is leading his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing Lu Bu arriving, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I've met Marquis Wen!"
Lu Bu waved his hand and looked at the corpse on the ground, his face instantly turned livid.
The corpses of the enemy soldiers who were killed in the attacking camp were all wearing the clothes of Zhang Miao's army!
"Zhang Miao, the dog thief, how dare you play tricks on me again!"
he roared!
At this moment, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and other generals also heard the noise and rushed over.
"Marquis Wen, what happened?"
"See for yourselves!"
Lu Bu said with a sullen expression.
After listening to Zang Ba's account of the incident, Cao Xing, Hao Meng and other generals immediately started making noises.
"How dare Zhang Miao attack the camp!"
"Marquis Wen, he doesn't take you seriously!"
"We will attack the city tomorrow!"
Only Gao Shun frowned and said hesitantly,
"Marquis Wen, my subordinates always feel that... something is not quite right..."
"Something's wrong!"
Lu Bu said coldly,
"If I hadn't specifically asked Zang Ba to defend himself tonight, wouldn't Zhang Miao have succeeded in a sneak attack?"
"No wonder this bastard said he would surrender tomorrow. It turns out he was thinking of attacking the camp tonight!"
Gao Shun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he saw Lu Bu glare at him viciously.
"Gao Shun, you have spoken for Zhang Miao again and again. Could it be that he promised you some benefits?"
"Marquis Wen is unjust! How dare my subordinates have the idea of betraying Marquis Wen?"
Gao Shun was startled and opened his mouth to defend.
"Yes, Marquis Wen, General Gao Shun is a loyal man, how could he have contact with Zhang Miao?"
Zhang Liao also hurriedly interceded for Gao Shun.
"It's better this way!"
Lu Bu snorted coldly, turned to the others and said,
"Have a good rest tonight, we will attack the city early tomorrow morning!"
"Here!"
Everyone responded with a roar.
Lu Bu left first, and the rest also left separately.
Only Gao Shun was left, standing there in despair.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao walked forward and patted Gao Shun on the shoulder.
"Don't take it seriously, Marquis Wen is just angry at Zhang Miao!"
"Thank you Wenyuan for your comfort."
Gao Shun forced a smile, lowered his head and walked towards his tent, but his heart was filled with sadness.
He was loyal to Lü Bu, and Lü Bu knew his loyalty, but he did not reuse him.
Not only that, Gao Shun's most elite troops were also asked to leave by Lu Bu and handed over to Wei Xu to lead them.
It was not until the war came that Lu Bu ordered the military symbols and troops to be returned to Gao Shun.
When he came to Yanzhou this time, what happened along the way seemed too strange to Gao Shun.
He was just telling Lu Bu truthfully what he was thinking.
But Lu Bu was so jealous!
Thinking of Lu Bu's indifferent attitude towards him before, how could this not make Gao Shun feel lonely?
Maybe... Lu Bu is not his master, right?
Gao Shun thought silently.
…
Early the next morning.
Zhang Miao in the city has prepared everything and is waiting for the progress of Lu Bu's army.
He first sent Xu Si to communicate with Lu Bu.
Xu Bang didn't think much, so he rode out of the city and came straight to Lu Bu.
"Marquis Wen!"
He greeted Lu Bu with a smile and didn't even notice Lu Bu's murderous eyes!
Before Xu Si could react, Fang Tian's painted halberd was already swung high!
"Crack!"
Xu Si's huge head flew high into the air!
Until he lost consciousness, he didn't understand what happened!
Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others on the city wall were stunned when they saw this scene.
What's going on?
Did you say you promised Lu Bu that you would surrender the city?
Why did Lu Bu kill Xu Si as the envoy?
Before they could react, Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd high, pointed at Chen Liucheng, and shouted sternly,
"Siege the city!"
The words fell to the ground.
His troops rushed towards Chenliucheng like a tide!
If Lu Bu were to rush into the city, I'm afraid that all of them would become dead souls under his sword!
So Chen Gong shouted decisively,
"Close the city gate and don't let Lu Bu's army come in!"
…
On the hillside outside Chenliu City.
Yang Ling stretched and smiled at Xiahou Dun beside him,
"General Yuan Rang, we can go back."
good.
Last night, it was Yang Ling who asked Cao Cao's soldiers to put on Zhang Miao's military uniforms, and then attacked Lu Bu's camp at night, in order to continue to sow discord between Lu Bu and Zhang Miao!
Mr. Yang Ling is indeed a mastermind!
Looking at Chen Liucheng, who was shouting to kill, Xiahou Dun felt admiration in his heart, but at the same time, he felt a sense of fear.
Lu Bu and Zhang Miao are also considered heroes among the masters, but they are played by Yang Ling in the middle of applause!
His control over people's hearts is so precise.
Fortunately, he, like himself, serves the lord, otherwise, he would definitely be the lord's strong enemy!
…
Xuzhou.
Cao Jun's camp.
Cao Cao looked at the map with a solemn expression, and even sighed slightly.
Guo Jia on the side heard his sigh and couldn't help but wonder,
"The war is going so smoothly, why does my lord sigh for no reason?"
Ever since Cao Cao led his army to attack Tao Qian in the name of revenge for his father, progress has been quite smooth.
Originally, everyone in Xuzhou defended the city and refused to surrender.
Following Yang Ling's instructions, he told each city that as long as they surrendered, they would be spared the killings.
