That same night, after Lu Bu returned to camp, he no longer had any worries or fears, and his heart was extremely peaceful. Looking at these subordinates who had shared the joys and sorrows with him for nearly ten years, he smiled and said: "Why don't we have a drink together as a farewell." Cao Xing, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and others all showed unbearable expressions and nodded. should be.
Lu Bu plundered the capital in the past two months and obtained a lot of fine wine. At this last moment, he took out the three most expensive jars of wine, asked his guards to fill them up for his subordinates, and then drank together. After a few sips, the three bottles of wine were all gone, and they were still just tipsy. Lu Bu ordered someone to take out two jars of Dukang wine, and while he was pouring it, he sighed: "What a pity, Wen Yuan is not here. I feel sorry for him!"
After hearing this, Cao Xing looked at Lu Bu and found that this man with an iron tower, who was famous for his majesty and might, now looked haggard, and the sadness and sadness in his eyes were completely unlike that of a warrior. He felt sad for this, and then said: "General, why bother?" So? We have already expected this day as we follow you."
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu suddenly raised his head and asked him, "Did you expect defeat?"
Cao Xing hurriedly said: "We and other warriors, life and death depend on the tip of the sword. If we don't have the awareness of death early, how can we dare to go out to kill the enemy?"
When Lu Bu heard this answer, he felt sad in his heart. He drank heavily again and said, "Yes, if you can kill the enemy with all your heart and die on the battlefield, it would be a pleasure in life. Unfortunately, in this world, there is nothing you hate more than anything else." Tofi people.”
When he said this, he became angry. He couldn't help but draw his sword out of its sheath and cut the wine gum into two pieces. The jars and bowls fell on the ground, spilling wine all over the floor. Lu Bu shouted: "The Han family has betrayed me, Lu Bu." !" He paused for a moment before sighing: "But I will never let down the Han family." After saying this, he burst into tears and said nothing.
Cao Xing didn't know what to do, but someone on the side said calmly: "If a man dies, his ears will die. Since the general has decided to die, why should he act like a child?"
Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, but when he saw that it was Gao Shun who was speaking, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He went over to hold Gao Shun's hand and sighed: "Captain, you are the most honest and upright person in my account." . Among all the camps, you are also the most capable of fighting. Although I am braver than you, but now that I think about it, I am not as good as you!"
After wiping away his tears, Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, but still solemnly told Gao Shun: "Chen Tingjian has a good reputation, so he should not be angry with you. If the captain has a chance, he hopes to go to Liangzhou again. I entrust my wife and daughter to you."
Gao Shun had already intended to die, but his master suddenly said these words. He was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lu Bu's confused expression, he finally knelt down and said, "Shun, how dare you not try your best!"
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this. He bent down to pick up the wine cup that had fallen to the ground and poured wine for everyone present. Then he held the cup and smiled and said: "Today I will kill Chen Chong's whole family and I will die without regrets. After drinking this cup, you guys want to take a rest." Let's disperse!" When all the generals heard this, they all shed tears and did not dare to look at Lu Bu again.
After the banquet was over, Lu Bu lay down with his clothes on, fell down, snored loudly, and slept until dawn.
There was no wind on the second day, the spring rain stopped temporarily, and the sky was dark. When Lu Bu got up, he felt that the surroundings were unprecedentedly quiet. He got up and went out of the tent to look around, only to find that most of the people had dispersed. There were originally more than 20,000 people in the camp, but now there were only more than a thousand people left, so it seemed particularly empty and lonely. When the soldiers guarding the tent saw Lu Bu coming out, they immediately reported that most of the others left the camp last night and fled to the three southern gates of the city.
Lu Bu didn't take it seriously, so he just gathered the remaining more than a thousand people together and had breakfast with them as usual. Seeing that Cao Xing was still here, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are indeed a righteous man!" So he asked him to sit next to him. While he was eating, another messenger came to report that both Zhicheng Gate and Chucheng Gate were both The door has been opened, and the thieves outside the city have poured in in groups under the guidance of the palace guards. After hearing this, Lu Bu sat down even more and said to Cao Xing, "I didn't expect Jia Xu to move so slowly. It doesn't matter. Let's finish eating first."
He swallowed a piece of Hu cake in two or three times and asked Cao Xing: "Do you think I am a student of Xiang Ji and commit suicide in a fight to the death, or do I imitate Yin Zhou and burn myself on Lutai?"
Cao Xing's face did not change, and he replied calmly: "The Yin Dynasty burned the Lutai, and it was just a stink. If you are like Xiang Ji, you can fight ten times and fight ten battles, and you can die without losing your bravery, and you can be admired by future generations." Lu Bu nodded. He pulled out the long sword in his hand from its scabbard, stroked the blade for a long time, and then slowly said: "You are right, my defeat today is not my fault, it is really the inhumane I encountered. If we don't fight to defeat him, the whole world will be defeated." Laugh at my lack of courage!"
After that, he ordered his personal guards to bring Red Rabbit over, then he put his arms around Red Rabbit's neck, gently stroked its mane and said, "It's a pity that I can't go back to Jiuyuan with you."
When he said this, he immediately thought of the vast pastures of Yunzhong County, the sharp wind knives, the silvery water patterns, and the strange and desolate songs of the barbarians in the world. At that time, he, as a young man, had a firm gaze, Aiming everywhere. But that was a long time ago. Lu Bu was so sad that he couldn't help but raise his head and sing:
“Elegies can be used as weeping, and distant views can be used as homecomings.
I miss my hometown and feel depressed.
I want to go home but there is no one, I want to cross the river but there is no boat.
I can't express my thoughts, and the wheels are spinning in my intestines. "
After singing, he got on his horse, scanned the surroundings with hawk-like eyes, and asked, "Who will accompany me to kill the enemy?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "I am willing to go with the general!" Then they packed up their luggage, and then each held a torch and lit all the clothes and tents in the past. Soon the flames were raging, and the surrounding heat was overwhelming, and then spread out, burning the surrounding houses one after another, causing a burst of wailing from women, children, and the elderly. And the thick smoke that towered into the sky lingered over Chang'an, like a gray-white dragon roaring in mourning.
This quickly pointed out the direction for the Han army entering the city. Not long after, Lu Bu saw Chen Chong's flag appearing on the west road, and then a group of people poured out, followed by two and three groups, and soon it became A huge sea of people. When Lu Bu saw that the first flag was a yellow swan flag, he knew that Xu Huang was the one who arrived first. He couldn't help but smile to his subordinates and said: "When I was in the capital, I heard people talking about famous generals in the world, and I often thought that Xu Gongming was the best in merging states. No. 1 in Liangzhou. It’s really strange. Could it be that I’m not from Jiuyuan?”
After saying that, he immediately led his troops to drive their horses forward and rushed into the Han army in an instant. He waved his hands from bottom to top. The Han army facing him was caught off guard and he was able to repel two of them in an instant. Then Lu Bu suddenly stood up and waved the long spear left and right. He waved it too fast, as if what he was holding was not a long spear but a willow branch. Almost no one could fight with Lu Bu for a round, so the Han troops dispersed one after another. He opened up, dividing his troops to block the troops behind him, and carefully surrounding him from the front and back.
Lu Bu didn't care about this, he raised his head and shouted in front of him: "Where is Xu Gongming?!" Xu Huang guessed that Lu Bu had the intention to die, and it was difficult for ordinary people to resist, so he rode his horse slowly out of the guards. , and then looked at Lu Bu with all his attention.
The two sides circled for a moment, and Lu Bu took the lead in attacking. He pinched the horse's belly, and the red rabbit immediately ran straight towards Xu Huang. The starting distance was obviously only more than ten steps, but when he got close to Xu Huang, the wind in front of him was as strong as iron, making his breath stagnant. Driven almost by instinct, Xu Huang raised the pole in his hand, only to hear a loud "dang" sound, and then Lu Bu swung it four times in a row. Xu Huang barely caught it, but the horse couldn't bear it and kept moving back. Back away step by step. It was only when the surrounding Han soldiers saw that Xu Huang was defeated that they fired arrows at Lu Bu, and the two were separated.
Lu Bu took a few steps back and mocked Xu Huang: "I think you are nothing more than that." At this time, he looked around and found that there were many more people around him, as well as the flags of the Liang Army in the past. Only then did he realize that Hu Zhen was also The troops arrived, and with them were Zhang Xiu, Wang Chang and others sent by Jia Xu.
When Lu Bu saw Hu Zhen, he immediately remembered his time under Dong Zhuo and couldn't help but sneer and said: "Back then, you laughed at me for turning my back on the master to seek glory, but today I am also serving under Chen Chong. At that time, you often said that the master humiliated his ministers and died, but you didn't know that you Where is the integrity?" Then he mocked Zhang Xiu and others: "Back then, the Grand Master was so majestic in Guandong! Unexpectedly, now they have all become repetitive villains like Jia Wenhe."
The faces of these cool people turned red after hearing this, but in a single fight, they were no match for Lu Bu. It would be too shameful for them to swarm him. For a moment, everyone surrounded Lu Bu, but no one dared to step forward, making the scene extremely embarrassing.
Chen Chong also arrived at this time. He heard that Lu Bu was here, and regardless of the risk of being assassinated, he took Qingkui and slowly walked into the generals. He happened to catch Lu Bu's sight, and both of them stood still for a moment.
Chen Chong heard Lu Bu's shouting just now, and asked him now: "I don't know how I treated you so badly that you treated me like this."
Lu Bu was speechless for a moment, and then said: "The emperor will kill you. As a human minister, I am ordered to punish thieves. What's wrong with me?"
He thought he could choke Chen Chong, but unexpectedly he asked again: "Then why did your Majesty declare you, but you violated the order and corrected it?"
Lu Bu was suddenly speechless, and looked at Chen Chong with eyes full of resentment. Chen Chong didn't want to talk to him too much. Chen Chong was not the first person to see such a arrogant person, nor would he be the last to see him. At present, there are many things to do when entering the capital, and there are so many things waiting for him to do, so he ordered the generals: "Mother cares too much. I don't intend to capture him alive. If you can't fight, just shoot the arrow."
When Lu Bu saw that Chen Chonghun did not take him seriously, he was furious and immediately rode his horse to kill him. But the soldiers around him were also well prepared, and they fired arrows at Lu Bu. Hundreds of arrows flew past, turning Lu Bu into a hedgehog in an instant.
Unfortunately, there were only a few arrows that could penetrate the armor, and they could not stop Lu Bu from charging forward. At this time, the four generals Xu Huang, Hu Zhen, Zhang Xiu, and Li Xian all went up to fight with him. Lu Bu was one against four, and for a while it was difficult to tell them apart. Wang Chang saw that it was difficult to defeat him from the front, so he went around to the side and hooked Lu Bu's ankle with the tip of his spear.
Wang Chang succeeded with the blow, but under the pain, Lu Bu became so mad that he jumped up from his horse and threw Hu Zhen in front of him to the ground, splashing mud and water all over the ground. Lu Bu wanted to draw the sword to kill, but as soon as he grasped the handle of the sword, the people around him swarmed him and attacked him with their swords. First, his left hand was cut off by Xu Huang, and then his leg was chopped off with a horrific wound, and the other minor injuries were even more severe. Countless.
But Lu Bu was still alive. He had no sword or sword, so he bit Hu Zhen's hand with his mouth. He bit off two fingers. Before he could spit them out, Hu Zhen endured the pain and took the opportunity to wrap his arms around his neck. Making him struggle to expose his chest.
Wang Chang immediately stabbed him in the chest with a knife. The famous Bingzhou flying general in China trembled for a few times, and finally fell to the ground slumped and stopped breathing forever.
