Ma Chao lay on the bed, tears falling, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If my father Ma Teng knew that I had suffered such injustice here, he would definitely lead the Xiliang army to conquer Luoyang. I hate that Li Yuguo... used a beauty trap to trap me. I stay in Luoyang as a hostage, and the soldiers and horses of Xiliang who threaten my father with 300,000 yuan are attacking Chang'an from behind. I hate it, I hate it!"
Lu Bu took a look at Ma Chao's injuries, went outside and said to Chen Gong: "The wounds from the stick are real, and the stick penetrated his flesh. I'm afraid Ma Chao won't be able to get out of bed within three days."
"In this case, it should not be fake. This is a real injury. And the fight between Ma Chao and Zhao Yun on the city wall was also real. It seems that it is true as the intelligence said. Ma Chao and Zhao Yun have never gotten along. In addition, Ma Chao personally admitted that, It is said that he is staying in Luoyang as a hostage. If this is the case, then we can use a trick." Chen Gong said.
Lu Bu said: "Brother Gongtai, do you have any clever ideas?"
"Ma Chao is in our department. I'm afraid Li Yuguo will find out tomorrow morning that he will be worthless by then. Why don't we let him go back and then let him order his soldiers to use fire as a signal before the destiny. Then we will have torches under the city. Together, let Ma Chao lead people to open the city gate immediately, and we will rush into Yuncheng and kill him without leaving a trace!" Chen Gong said.
Lu Bu raised his thumb: "Wonderful, wonderful, this saves you the trouble of attacking the city. You must know that Yuncheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack!"
Chen Gong was full of confidence: "Yes! If this is the case, we will be able to capture Yuncheng in one fell swoop, and then the hundred thousand troops in the city will be back in the hands of the general. The general can immediately take down the seller. Niu Fu and Li Ru beheaded!"
"But if Li Yuguo is captured, what should I do?" Lu Bu said worriedly, as if he had already won at this moment.
Chen Gong smiled and said: "General, don't forget that in this troubled world, everyone has his own master. Even if you meet old friends, sometimes you have to be popular. In this case, what kind of friends and brothers are there? Even if you are a general If he doesn't take action, will Li Yuguo spare the general? If Li Yuguo also has murderous intentions, and if the general is benevolent and righteous, won't he fall into the trap of the thieves? I think Dong Zhuo was the one who caused the trouble and made the court restless. At that time, how many people in the world hated the general so much that they called him a slave with three surnames?"
"Yes, if so-and-so is caught by the Luoyang court, will so-and-so have a way to survive?" Lu Bu also became worried.
After the two met, they came to the commander's tent. Chen Gong pretended to be benevolent and said in the past: "Oh, this Li Huguo is really ruthless. The general is under twenty years old, and this Li Huguo is so vicious!"
"No... He is jealous that my martial arts skills are better than his! Brother Lu came from Xiliang at the same time as me, so I thought about turning over the dark side and joining the army in time, so that Brother Lu could help me avenge this gangster. , Brother Lu!" As he said that, Ma Chao grabbed Lu Bu's clothes.
Lu Bu also held Ma Chao's hand "sincerely": "Brother Xian, I have made you suffer. Brother Yu didn't expect that brother Xian, you have suffered so many grievances over there. In this case, brother Yu will definitely seek justice for you." , but now Brother Yu has a plan, and I hope you can help me a lot. If the plan comes true, you will be the number one hero around me. When the time comes, I will go to the Emperor and ask him to grant you an official title, what do you think!"
"Thank you, brother. I am lucky enough to listen to what I have to say. I... I am so excited that I can't speak. If I had known better, I would have joined Brother Lu's disciples earlier, and I would not have suffered from this military stick!" Ma Chao burst into tears! His eyes were filled with tears. However, no one saw that Ma Chao was holding a few grains of salt in his hand. If the salt gets into his eyes, he will naturally cry.
Ma Chao went back that night, and Lu Bu and others packed up their troops and went to Yuncheng.
Lu Bu led 80,000 elite troops, divided into two groups on the left and right, and came to the gate of Yuncheng. Chen Gong said: "General, the rooster has crowed. God estimates that there are still two sticks of incense before the light comes. It's time." …”
Lu Bu rubbed his groggy eyes. After all, he had stayed up all night. This was not comfortable for Lu Bu. Lu Bu said, "In that case, I will raise the torch..."
"Left and right!" Lu Bu said softly.
"Here!" Zhang Liao and Gao Lan came over at the same time.
Lu Bu glanced around: "Order the soldiers in the front army to light the torches in their hands!"
"yes!"
Boom, boom, all of a sudden, the torches were lit up one after another. At the same time, the city gate in the distance made a creaking sound and slowly opened. This sound was particularly harsh and unpleasant in the night sky, as if Just like a nightmare at night, there is actually a different kind of fear.
This gave Lu Bu an ominous premonition, but now he had no choice. As the saying goes, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. If it was forcibly withdrawn, it would easily go off.
Lu Bu waved his hand: "Go in!"
"yes!"
The mighty army marched inside, and Lu Bu, holding the Fangtian Painted Halberd, was the first among them and walked at the front. He looked at the surrounding houses, which were empty and there was nothing. Lu Bu said proudly: "A group of grandsons all went to rest in the middle of the night, and there wasn't even anyone standing guard."
"That's not right, General..." Chen Gong had an ominous premonition. Chen Gong looked around, "Even if there are no soldiers on guard, there shouldn't be no soldiers on guard at night... Even if there are no soldiers on guard at night, why is there even a wild cat on the street? No dogs?”
"Look, these people must have heard that my eldest brother is the most powerful general in the world, and they were so frightened that they dared to patrol here!" Zhang Liao said with a smile.
Gao Lan also laughed loudly: "Brother, you have a square-shaped halberd in your hand. You are invincible in the world, aren't you?"
"That's right!" Lu Bu laughed, his face proud, and he looked like he was invincible in the world.
"Brother, although that horse is more powerful than Zhao Yun, the two of them can only draw a tie with you. They are definitely no match for the eldest brother if they challenge him alone. The eldest brother is the best in the world, and the white ghost horse under him is The nemesis of war horses, the best war horse in the world, the best weapon in the world, and the best general in the world!" Gao Lan continued to play Lu Bu.
Lu Bu laughed proudly: "Hahaha! That's it, that's it! That's it! Even if your eyes are open, open, I have Fang Tian's painted halberd in my hand, I have the invincible white ghost war horse, and I am still the best in the world. A fierce general!"
After saying this, Lu Bu became bolder and waved his hand: "Come here, go to the farmhouse in the distance to see if all these soldiers are staying in the farmhouse!"
"yes!"
