Lu Bu was polishing his halberd in the mansion of the commander of Tiger Cage Pass when Wei Xu's personal guards suddenly rushed in with panic.
"Commander-in-chief, Wei Xu was captured by General Xu and beaten thirty times with a stick. He has already fainted!”
"What?!" Lu Bu was furious. He slammed his halberd heavily on the ground and stood up, wanting to go out and reason with Xu Rong!
Lu Bu dismissed the general appointed by Xu Rong at Tiger Cage Pass and placed Wei Xu and the others to lead the troops. It was obvious that Xu Rong was protecting these people. Xu Rong's 30 blows seemed to be hitting Wei Xu's butt, but it was actually hitting Lu Bu's face!
Moreover, Wei Xu was related to Lu Bu. In this era where relatives were the most important, hitting Wei Xu was deliberately looking for trouble!
However, Lu Bu remembered that Xu Rong was just following the rules. If he took him away, it would be hard to explain to Dong Zhuo. He could only endure it and go to Wei Xu.
At this moment, Wei Xu had just applied medicine to the military doctor. Although he was grimacing in pain, he still came back to life.
Seeing Lu Bu enter, the pain in his body immediately turned into resentment. He immediately complained to Lu Bu,""Fengxian, Xu Rong has been going against us since the first day we came! I went to send wine to the soldiers to warm their bodies so that they could guard the city in peace and stabilize their hearts, but he beat me up without asking why! Fengxian, I'm innocent!"
Lu Bu said in a muffled voice," Drinking is not called drinking in the army. I can't do anything about him hitting you. But don't worry. If I have any evidence against him, I will make sure he dies a horrible death!"”
When Wei Xu heard that Lu Bu wasn't going to avenge him this time, he was immediately discouraged. However, he suddenly remembered something!
"Fengxian, I often drink with the soldiers in the army and have heard many things about Xu Rong. I feel that this person is very suspicious!”
"Oh?" Lu Bu's eyebrows twitched, and he looked interested." Tell me!”
"There's a saying in the army that our Tiger Cage's fifty thousand cavalry are extremely powerful. We can attack and retreat, and even if we can't defeat them, we can easily retreat. However, Xu Rong led us and lost two battles, losing more than ten thousand men! Therefore, many people believed that this guy had already sided with the dukes and was deliberately trying to exhaust our soldiers!”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up. A few days ago, I also heard this saying. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it and thought that it was just a rumor. However, now that I think about it, this matter seems to be really possible!”
Wei Xu immediately nodded." That's right. This person was only a deputy general in Hwa Xiong's hands. Now that you're here, he's still a deputy general. He must be unwilling!" Moreover, look at how he was so angry that he beat me up. He must have colluded with the dukes in private and was prepared to find an opportunity to surrender!”
Lu Bu nodded and sighed,""Unfortunately, without any concrete evidence, it's not easy to make a move just based on feelings.”
Wei Xu immediately suggested,"If he really has contact with the dukes, he will definitely leave a letter!" Why don't we suddenly go in and search? We'll definitely be able to obtain evidence of his crimes!”
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment before making up his mind."Then use the excuse of catching an assassin to go in and search him!”
"Good idea!"
The two of them came up with a plan, but the person next to them revealed a strange expression. He quietly took a letter and sneaked into Xu Rong's residence. He hid it in a hidden place in the room and calmly came out with a happy expression.
Xu Rong was still writing a letter to Li Ru, saying that Lu Bu's subordinates had repeatedly violated military discipline and vaguely expressed his intention to change generals.
"I didn't do this out of selfishness! I, Xu Rong, am really doing this for Tiger Cage Pass, so that my brothers won't die in vain!”
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion outside. When he went out to take a look, he saw Lu Bu leading many people in to conduct a thorough investigation.
"Governor, what's the matter? Why?"
Lu Bu laughed." A thief came in. I'm worried about your safety, so I'll help you find him!"”
Xu Rong looked and saw that the soldiers had actually searched through the small gaps under the eaves. He was immediately furious."Even if there are thieves, how can they get in there?”
"General Xu, calm down!" Lu Bu waved his hand. This thief was not only a human, but also something else…As for what it was, he would know soon.”
Xu Rong snorted coldly and immediately realized that Lu Bu was deliberately finding trouble for Wei Xu. However, he wasn't afraid at all.
However, very soon, a soldier rushed out with a letter in his hand!
"Commander-in-chief! I know a little about words, and the seal on this letter is Cao Mengde! Cao Mengde, isn't that the duke of the east of the country?”
Lu Bu was overjoyed and immediately took the letter. After reading it, he remembered that he was illiterate, so he found someone who could read and read it aloud.
"General Xu Rong, my lord Cao Cao knows that you have always been loyal and loyal to the Han Dynasty. In the past, the general showed mercy twice and did not kill all of us. This is clearly a show of goodwill! My lord has already given you the position of general. As long as you kill Tiger Cage General Lu Bu and lead your troops to surrender, you will still be a loyal minister of the Great Han Dynasty…"
Xu Rong broke out in a cold sweat as he listened. It was over, Lu Bu had deliberately framed them! It must be his men who brought the letter in and took it out. This thing was pinned on my head!
Thinking of this, Xu Rong was furious and pointed at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu sneered and threw Xu Rong into the prison carriage.
Seeing this, the spy that Zhao Yang had roped in revealed a strange smile.
That night, Zhao Yang received a secret report from the spy at Tiger Cage Pass."Xu Rong was captured? So smooth! That was great! Xu Rong was one of the few cool-headed people in Tiger Cage Pass. Now that he had been captured, Lu Bu would probably mobilize his entire army tomorrow to attack Wild Jujube again! At that time, it would be a good opportunity for the lord to make a name for himself!”
After planning for a while, Zhao Yang went to Cao Cao's place.
"My lord, I reckon that Lu Bu will send an army to attack tomorrow. My lord, don't rashly go out to fight. When the dukes are beaten up until their faces are covered in dust, we will make a move. At that time, we will be able to make a name for ourselves again and make the dukes look at us in a new light!”
Cao Cao didn't know how Zhao Yang was so sure that Lu Bu would attack, but based on his past experience, whatever Zhao Yang said would be true. He immediately cheered up,""It seems that tomorrow Zilong will fight for my face again!”
"Zilong?" Zhao Yang smiled mysteriously and shook his head. He smiled but didn't say anything.
After leaving Cao Cao's place, Zhao Yang went straight to Zhang Miao's camp.
Cao Cao, who knew of his movements, was confused." Why did Teacher go to Zhang Miao's place?
