Outside Xia Pi City, Chen Gong's body had fallen down.

Various massacres and cries disappeared in the pool of blood. The city was silent. Thousands of people stood there at a loss. There were people coming in the rest of the city wall. The wind was sobbing. Many people who came also saw the bodies there and learned from their comrades that the reinforcements had been cut off, which made countless people feel desperate.

The buzzing noises around him were mixed with uneasy aura spread among many figures. Under the sky, swords and weapons were hard to lift up and held in their hands. Hao Meng pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, like a statue in silence, and his eyes were flashing, as if he was thinking about something. Wei Xu closed his eyes beside him, and his fingertips kept picking up the mottled blood-stained wall bricks. Occasionally, he opened his eyes and looked at the corpse in a daze.

After a period of time along the city wall, the other generals such as Song Xian, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and others ran across the city and shouted loudly to the soldiers to return to their defense positions. Zhang Liao looked at Chen Gong's body, gritted his teeth and turned around, and his voice was also reminding: "You guard the city wall, I'll go and see the Marquis Wen." After that, when he ran down the city wall, the figure of Baihua Robe had long disappeared.

"Fengxian..." He murmured uneasy, quickly climbed up a horse and chased after him regardless of his injuries.

The white clouds in the sky are like trunks, and the sun is shining from the clouds.

The fiery red horse returned from the city wall to the gate with the two big words "Lufu" written on it. The reins stopped. The guard at the door came over and held the horse's head. He came down with a tall figure and walked in step by step with the Fang Tian Painting Ji. In the courtyard, there were many figures coming and going, busy in the mansion as before.

Lu Bu walked into the backyard, maids, servants... many eyes looked at him.

Lingqi, who was playing in the courtyard, called out "Dad!" and ran over with her little feet, hugging her arm wearing armor, "Why did Dad come back so early today? Have the enemies been repelled?"

Nearby, Sima Yi and Cai Zhenji who were talking under the eaves of the corridor also came over, "Wen Hou (Master)." The two of them said softly. On the other side, Lu Bu stroked his daughter's head and nodded at the two of them, "Zhongda, follow me."

The young man was stunned for a moment, but still went to the middle of the courtyard. Lu Bu threw the halberd in his hand, walked to the stone bench with his hands behind his back, pressing his knees with his hands, and his voice was calm: "Tell me what I have taught you, and let me see it."

Sima Yi was a young man, but he was smart after all, and he didn't say it out loud. He simply pinched the heavy Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, put on a set of racks to start, and then followed the methods taught in the past, and then hit it over and over again. There was no whistling through the air, no majestic momentum, but just a normal and regular wielding halberd body.

Under the shade of the tree, a slight waving sound came into his ears. Lu Bu sat on the stone bench with his eyes closed. The servants around him understood that the master's family might be in a bad mood today, so they dispersed one by one, and did not dare to make loud noises. Lingqi shook the braid behind her head, tilted her head, pulled the sleeve of the girl beside her, and lowered her tender voice: "Sister Cai, what's wrong with Daddy..."

Zhenji shook her head: "Wen Hou may have encountered something unhappy."

While speaking, Lingqi called out, "Mom!" She turned around and ran towards Yan, who had rushed over to hear the news, pointed to the other side of the courtyard, and whispered: "Mom, Daddy is not happy today."

"Well, mom knows, you go somewhere else with Sister Cai, mom, go and take a look." Yan smiled and patted Lu Lingqi's little head, raised her gaze, Cai Zhenji on the other side nodded, took her little figure out and left the eaves of the corridor, and then the woman walked towards her husband.

When the painting halberd was waving, Lu Bu heard the mixed footsteps, opened his eyes and saw his wife coming. He suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and Yan had already walked to his side.

"My husband has just gone out and has returned like this. Is there something wrong with the city wall?" The woman saw the young man waving his halberd technique and said gently, sitting down on another stone bench, "Are you already decided to get it?"

The sun shone through the branches, mottled on his broad shoulders. In Lu Bu's sight, the young man's whispered halberd made him feel as if he had seen his young self. After a moment of silence, his voice squeaked out of his throat: "Chen Gong is dead... Xia Pi completely cut off foreign aid and truly became an isolated city."

Yan pursed his lips tightly and held her husband's hand.

"Actually, before Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhi came, he had been closely with Yuan Shu's people, and I didn't care about this..." Lu Bu closed his eyes, the wind blew over, and said quietly: "...I, Lu Bu, have a bad reputation. I can come to be my military advisor, so I can't tell you how happy he is. I turn a blind eye to anyone who is close to the Gongtai. Now he has really left... Looking back on what Shizhong Cai said to me in prison, I finally got to the fork."

Speaking of this, something was stuck in the throat. The Adam's apple sucked and rolled for a while. He said with difficulty: "So... it's time to choose the way. Instead of letting Wen Yuan and the others die, it's better to let them survive... I'll do something later."

After Lu Bu said this, he paused and opened his eyes again. The bright sunshine, and the waving young man seemed to recall some of the past scenes. The wild children who were dancing on the grassland were dancing happily with guns and sticks. The Xianbei people went south and said goodbye to his elders. There were also the figures of Xiapi City. Chen Gong said goodbye to him... all the memories related to him.

...

On the top of the city, Hao Meng, wearing armor and guns, talked with Wei Xu, Song Xian and others. Soon, the generals under his command gathered faintly and prepared for their lives. After a moment, the three of them stopped and seemed to hear Lu Bu's voice and looked into the city.

At the same time, Cao's army arrayed outside the city.

Under the endless flags, the army formation was quiet. Occasionally, a horse team ran over from the sight of countless people. Amid the monotonous sound of horse hooves, the burly general ran towards the central army with a big gun, then dismounted, walked to the big flag, and bowed to the person on the back of the horse: "What are you waiting for? Now that the person has been killed, let's start siege."

Cao Cao, who was carrying a sword on his waist, and was riding a claw, shook his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the walls of Xia Pi, and was silent for a moment: "The plan to attack the heart always requires time to ferment. How can you be too anxious? Otherwise, let them work together, that would be meaningless... Yuan Rang, don't be impatient, I think Xia Pi City will definitely not be able to protect today."

After his words paused, he still waved his hand, "Notify Le Jin, General Li Dian Er leads his troops forward and approaches a hundred feet, making a threatening gesture."

"Yes!" One-eyed Xiahou bowed his hand, turned around and rode away on a horse.

When the order was conveyed, Gongsun Zhi stood on the high slope with his hands on his back. Behind him, in addition to Dian Wei and Li Ke, there was also a man with his hands tied with long eyebrows and big eyes, a thigh of short beards under his chin with a majestic aura, but his eyes were unyielding and staring at the back of the people ahead. His eyes were like a knife.

"Governor, why didn't Cao Cao attack the city? Lao Qian was still in the city. I don't know how this guy was doing. On the top of the city that day, I saw that Lu Bu was still as he used to, as if he was not affected by Zhang Yang's letters at all." Dian Wei Yangyang raised the two halberds in his hand, looked at Gao Shun who was bound beside him, and glared fiercely.

Gongsun Zhi looked at the group of infantrymen from the Cao army formation below and shook his head, "It's not yet time, uneasiness and fear always need time to spread. As for Lu Bu... I feel that he is coming." Immediately, he waved his hand, "I inform you and let the Heishan Cavalry follow you too, and the generals under Cao Cao in the province destroyed the plan."
