Chapter 381: Critical situation
Chen Lang smiled and said: "I understand Yuan Benchu's kindness. Go back and tell Yuan Benchu that if you want to destroy me, you can use your real skills. Don't use these tricks. They are useless and will make me look down on him." The messenger only promised, bowed and said: "The general's meaning, I understand! I will retreat!" Chen Lang nodded.
The messenger bowed and retreated. When passing by Lu Bu, he accidentally bumped the heel of his left foot and the toe of his right foot. As a result, the whole person lost his balance, staggered backwards and fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help bursting into laughter. Lu Bu stretched his hand to support the messenger, and the messenger took the opportunity to put a ball of paper prepared in advance into Lu Bu's hand. The two were silent, the messenger bowed to thank him, and left quickly.
Lu Bu returned to his tent, unfolded the note in his hand and read it again, then stood up and walked to the lamp, uncovered the lampshade, put the note on the flame and burned it, and a note quickly turned into ash.
Night fell. Tonight, the bright moon hung above the Xiongguan Pass, next to the Yellow River like a jade belt, the green hills in the distance, and the barracks nearby, the flag fluttered gently in the night breeze, the swords and guns were shining with the deep cold light, and there was silence between the heaven and the earth. A tense atmosphere permeated this space.
Lu Bu was fully clothed, carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd and carrying a hard iron bow on his back to climb the city wall, and patrolled along the city wall. A team of patrols came on the face, saw him, stopped, bowed a bow, and then continued to patrol ahead.
Lu Bu walked to the wall and looked around, and saw that there was no one nearby and no one was paying attention to this side. He immediately put down the sky-painted halberd, untied the iron-clad hard bow, drew out a spiked arrow and put it on the bowstring, and revealed the full moon. He shot it out of the city! With a soft hum, the arrow plunged into the darkness in an instant. After Lu Bu finished this, he hurriedly closed his bow, raised Fang Tian's painting of the halberd again, and continued his inspection casually.
At this time, outside the city, a cavalry of Yuan Shaojun bent down to pick up the spiked arrow shot by Lu Bu, and then turned his horse's head and galloped away.
The scout rushed into the big tent, submitted the arrow book, and reported: "I will report to the lord, the subordinates received the arrow book shot by Lu Bu under the city gate."
Guo Tu hurriedly took the arrow book and forwarded it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao hurriedly untied a piece of silk tied to the arrow shaft and unfolded it and read it again. A look of arrogance appeared on his face, and he laughed and said, "Lü Bu didn't dare to break his promise!"
Guo Tu hurriedly asked, "Lord, did Lu Bu agree to cooperate with our army in two days?"
Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, and said: "Lü Bu's letter said that he would follow my order and launch a raid from the city at midnight two days later to cooperate with our army to seize the city in one fell swoop!" Guo Tu exclaimed, "Great! That's it! As a result, not only is the victory in this battle, even Chen Lang's life is in the master's control!" Yuan Shao was proud of his face, and he was in a good mood. He only felt that he was indeed the destiny of his destiny!
Jushou frowned, clasped his fists and said, "Master, who said that the situation is great now, but you must guard against that Lu Bu!"
Guo Tu smiled: "Jushou, you are too worried! Although Lu Bu is capricious, but he is also a smart man, can't he still see the current situation? Now my lord is dominated by the three states, and is a scholar of the world. The heart of heaven is the destiny of heaven, and sooner or later it is to rule the world! Although Chen Lang is still rampant now, it is only the remnants of the Dong thief being cast aside by the scholars of the world, and the heart of heaven has been lost. Wolf, Chen Lang only rewarded a little bit of gold and silver. Lu Bu's current status is far worse than before. But if he surrendered to my lord, my lord had promised him high officials and graciousness, and after it was done, it would be indescribable! Lv Bu's good people, at this time, there is absolutely no reason to repeat!" Then he clasped his fist toward Yuan Shao: "At this critical moment, the lord must not be suspicious or even lose the god-given opportunity!"
Yuan Shao nodded approvingly, and praised: "Guo Tu is right!"
Upon seeing this, Ju gave no more to say.
At this moment, the counselor Xin Ping rushed in excitedly. Seeing Yuan Shao, he immediately clasped his fists and said; "Good news! Good news! Liu Zhang has made Liu Bei a general, and he is ready to attack Chen Lang's Xiliang!" He took out a letter and handed it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao took the letter and read it again, and said with a sneer: "Liu Bei is here to fight the autumn wind." There seemed to be no happy meaning in his tone, but rather disgusted.

Xin Ping was puzzled when he saw this, and looked at Guo Tu.
At this time, Jushou smiled and said to Yuan Shao: "The lord is worried that these clowns will take advantage of it. In fact, it is unnecessary. Liu Bei's attack will only diminish Chen Lang's power, which is very beneficial to us. As for things. After the success, the lord! After the fall of Chen Lang, the lord will occupy almost the entire northern rivers and mountains, dominating the sky and behold the world! Who can compete with the lord at that time? Not to mention Liu Bei, it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and others in front of the lord. It's just a chicken and shingle, and the lord can wipe them out like the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves!" Yuan Shao couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, and he laughed.
Guo Tu and Xin Ping quickly flattered and only compared what Yuan Shao said to the three emperors and five emperors. Yuan Shao couldn't help but floated up, suddenly feeling that he was aloof and the three emperors and five emperors were no longer a problem.
At this time, Xinpi came in, saw Yuan Shao, presented a sheepskin scroll, and said, "This is a letter sent by Suli."
Xin Ping smiled and said, "Needless to say, Suli's army must have gone south!" Yuan Shao unfolded the sheepskin scroll and read it again, nodded, and said, "Just as Xin Ping said!" I received news from the south that Sun Jian was also mobilizing the army and said that he was going to use the Yingyang army in the Xiangfan area."
Guo Tu couldn't help laughing: "This is really self-inflicted and you can't live! The princes of the world have risen up to attack Chen Lang, how can Chen Lang have any reason to be undefeated!" Yuan Shao laughed, his expression hopeful and authentic. "I just hope that Chen Lang will not die in the hands of others. I really want to see what he looks like after his failure!" Guo Tu smiled and clasped his fists: "The lord will do what he wants! Let Chen Lang kneel at that time. Look at the majesty of the real king in front of the lord!" Yuan Shao was very excited and laughed.
After the meeting, Xin Ping and Xin Pi left the big tent and walked to their tent. Xin Ping was very emotional, and said in excitement: "The four armies of the world have jointly attacked Chen Lang. This time Chen Lang is in a disaster! It is only Chen Lang who has been rebellious and seeking his own way of death! If he had not deviated from the classics and offended the world's nobles, how could he end up like this? End!" Xin Ping was emotional and snarled for a long time, and then saw his younger brother Simpi frowning and not speaking, he couldn't help asking, "Brother, why do you seem to be worried about something?"
Simpi frowned and said, "I always feel that this battle might not end so easily! I think that Chen Lang once fought against the 18th-Road princes, and with less victory and more, he just shattered Kebi's plot to go south. How can characters be easily defeated?"
Xin Ping said in an unpleasant manner: "Chen Lang is just a perverted traitor. In your tone, brother, you seem to admire him very much?"
Simpi frowned and said: "Chen Lang is a traitor, but he is not a thief, but a hero who has never been born for hundreds of years! I always feel that we might not get rid of him so easily!"
Xin Ping smiled and patted Xinpi on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you think too much! To Chen Lang, the current situation is like Mount Tai on the top. Even with three heads and six arms, he can't escape his body and bones. The end of the game! Don’t think too much about it, just think about it after entering Luoyang!” Then he showed a wretched face, and said with a small smile: “I heard that Luoyang Brothel Red Pavilion is mostly pitiful and affectionate. Oh, your beautiful lady! Brother, you are single so far. Why don't you take this opportunity to accept a few beauties to serve on the pillow seat!" Simpi smiled.
Chen Lang sat in the lobby and listened to Li Dagon’s report: "... Liu Zhang, with Liu Bei as his general, is leading one hundred thousand troops to attack Xiliang from the direction of Shangang Valley; Jiangdong Sun Jian has mobilized three hundred thousand troops in Jiangxia, according to a detailed report. Sun Jian has accepted Yuan Shao’s canonization and order, and is ready to attack Xiangfan in the north; in addition, General Xianbei Suli in the north has assembled 300,000 troops at Yanmen Pass. General Xu Huang is leading his army to fight with him. The fighting is fierce, and the situation is right. Our army is at a disadvantage."
Zhang Fei couldn't help crying: "Okay, everyone under the world is attacking us!"
Guan Yu frowned and said: "There is Wen Yuan defending in Xiliang, and Liu Bei's 100,000 Yizhou Army can't make it. But the Yanmen in the south of Xiangfan and the north, I'm afraid it won't last long. We must defeat Yuan Shao as soon as possible!"
Zhang Fei immediately yelled: "Big Brother, let me lead an army to attack tomorrow, I am determined to cut off Yuan Shao's dog head!" Other Titans also called for the fight. At present, no one is cowardly fighting against the powerful enemy. Instead, they are all high-minded, and they can't wait to fight the enemy immediately!
Chen Lang laughed and said, "Although there are many enemy troops, in my eyes it is just a group of deer and sheep! No matter how many deer and sheep, how can they beat tiger wolves!" The generals couldn't help but their morale boosted, and Zhang Fei exclaimed excitedly: "Big brother is too right! We are tiger wolves, those deer and sheep don't want to beat us, they are just our food!" Everyone laughed.
Chen Lang said to the generals: "I have already planned how to fight, you don't have to worry about it. It's getting late, you all go to rest. I don't want to fight the enemy when some of us doze off because of dozing off. He fell off the horse." Everyone couldn't help but laughed, saluting Chen Lang one after another, and then left the hall.
As soon as the generals left, Chen Lang couldn't help frowning. Regardless of how relaxed Chen Lang said just now, in fact, he has no idea whether he can win this battle. It's not that Chen Lang's will is not strong, but that the current situation is too sinister.
