Chapter 652

~8 min read 1,519 words

"It's a pity! Lord Xuande's strength and foundation are still lacking; I need to be responsible for the Chen clan and cannot let the Chen clan be destroyed because of him; otherwise, I would be sorry to the ancestors of the Chen clan!"

Blame it on Liu Bei's bad luck!

Of course, Cao Cao is actually about the same.

"Hehe!"

Chen Qun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Understand! Understand! We all have big families behind us! The burden we carry is different from ordinary people!"

"Brother Yuanlong will not regret today's choice!"

Next, the two began to discuss the details of the internal and external cooperation.

Discussing the detailed matters of how to keep Cao Cao opening the city gates and leading the Cao army into the city.

On the other side,

Jia Shisan successfully met Lu Bu quietly in the camp of Lu Bu's army through the token of the Dark Guard.

Seeing Jia Shisan come in, Lu Bu frowned and looked at him, asking, "Are you also a member of the Dark Guard? How many Dark Guard members has Boyuan planted in various places? Could it be that he has his people in every commandery and under every warlord in the world?"

He was very surprised when he suddenly received the Dark Guard token and learned that the person in charge of the Xuzhou Dark Guard wanted to see him!

He had previously thought that the Dark Guard was just a small intelligence force developed under Su Xuan.

Now it seems that he has far underestimated this Dark Guard.

"Hehe! More or less! Jia Shisan greets the Marquis of Wen!"

Jia Shisan smiled faintly and bowed.

"Since you are Boyuan's person, there is no need for courtesy!"

Lu Bu waved his hand indifferently, a smile appearing on his face, and asked, "Tell me! What is the matter that you came to find me at this time?"

"Could it be that Boyuan has something to find me for?"

"Not so!!"

Jia Shisan shook his head, "Although the Lord has always been paying attention to the General, it is only to ensure the General's safety!"

"I came here today, in fact, for the sake of your safety and the safety of your family, General, so I had to come!"

"Hmm?"

Lu Bu is very sensitive; hearing this, he immediately twisted his eyebrows, stared at Jia Shisan, and shouted, "What? My safety and the safety of my family? What exactly is going on?"

Since it concerns the safety of his family, he has to care.

Moreover, he also knows that the Dark Guard never shoots without a target.

He must take it seriously.

"The matter is like this..."

Jia Shisan saw this and immediately told him about the two strategies Cao Cao had prepared against Xiapi.

At the same time, he also told him about Su Xuan's attitude toward the handling of Xuzhou.

Finally, he said, "Therefore, Xiapi City is bound to be lost next!"

"To avoid our actions affecting your safety and the safety of your family, General, I had to risk the exposure of the plan and come to explain the situation to you in advance!"

"I just want to help you operate, General, to help you transfer your family out of the city in advance and temporarily place them in a safe location;"

"When Xiapi City is breached and you break out, General, it will be good to take your family and leave Xuzhou, right?"

"In addition, my Lord asked me to pass a message to you, General: he has prepared a banquet in Xiangyang City, waiting for you to go and reminisce with him."

This was not what Su Xuan said this time, but what Su Xuan had long ago ordered Jia Shisan.

Because the fall of Xuzhou was a matter of time anyway.

"Is that so?"

Lu Bu twisted his eyebrows, but soon relaxed and smiled lightly, "Boyuan really has good means! It seems that all the warlords in the world are under his control!"

"Much more capable than me!"

"I have always been the one being manipulated;"

"As expected of Boyuan! Still so capable!"

Lu Bu felt very warm in his heart for Su Xuan's concern.

In this world, except for his wife and daughter, only Su Xuan and the others can treat him so sincerely and care about him.

Since Su Xuan has already calculated everything, Xiapi is probably bound to be breached!

Even with his Liu Bei added together, they can't defend this place!

He understands Su Xuan's thoughts; he just doesn't want to sit idly by and watch Cao Cao flood Xiapi, causing countless innocent common people to die miserably.

Since that is the case, he cannot make things difficult for Su Xuan.

The only pity is that he can't have a good fight with Cao Cao this time and let Cao Cao suffer a bit.

"Speaking of which,"

Speaking of this, Lu Bu paused and looked at Jia Shisan playfully, asking, "You only mentioned transferring my family away in advance, but you didn't mention me and my troops; aren't you worried about my safety?"

"Haha!"

Jia Shisan laughed loudly upon hearing this, "General, you are joking! You are a divine general of the Heaven-Man Realm, plus those thousands of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under your command, forming a military formation; as long as you don't want to, how many people in this world can stop you? Threaten your safety?"

"At least, Cao Cao doesn't have this ability;"

"Those who really have this ability are all under my Lord!"

You are Lu Bu, after all!

I wouldn't worry about you even if I worried about Cao Cao!

"Hahaha!"

Lu Bu also laughed loudly upon hearing this, feeling very comfortable in his heart.

These words hit the nail on the head.

That's right! Even if Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, it would be easy for him, Lu Bu, to leave if he wanted to.

"Since you have said so, and this is Boyuan's plan, then naturally I cannot make you or Boyuan difficult!"

"I accept your kindness! I will have to trouble you to transfer the families of me and my subordinates!"

"The number might be a bit large, estimated to be hundreds of people; can you handle it?"

Lu Bu asked.

Naturally, he couldn't just care about his own family; the families of his subordinates like Chen Gong, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, etc., also had to be transferred together.

These people have at least been through thick and thin with him and are still somewhat loyal to him; he cannot abandon their families.

"A mere few hundred people! Naturally, it's no problem!"

Jia Shisan nodded with a light smile, "There is no time to lose; please gather the people quietly, General, and explain it clearly to them. I will arrange for people to wait for them to leave Xiapi City quietly and then place them at the port in Huaiyin City!"

"When Xiapi City is breached, you can lead your army to Huaiyin to reunite with your family, General!"

"We have also arranged some ships there; at that time, you can take these ships to leave Xuzhou and go to Jingzhou, General, how about that?"

Actually, there are only a small number of merchant ships there now.

But he has already written to the Jiangxia Navy to send a fleet to meet them.

The time is still enough; even with Chen Deng and the others as inside agents, it will take a few days to find a suitable opportunity for Xiapi to be breached.

"Oh?"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Arranged very thoroughly! As expected of Boyuan's subordinates; they consider things very thoroughly!"

"Then I will trouble you!"

"Let's go! I will take you to see the families now!"

"Actually, I also know that Xiapi City cannot be defended for long, and since the families all fled from Peng Cheng, I didn't disperse them; they are all in the same area in the camp at this moment!"

"Take them away now! I will also explain the situation to Chen Gong, Wei Xu, and the others!"

Saying this, Lu Bu got up, greeted Jia Shisan, took him to see the families in the army first, explained the situation to these families, and then temporarily entrusted them to Jia Shisan to arrange.

Next, Lu Bu had people call Chen Gong, Wei Xu, and others.

He secretly told everyone the whole story.

"Hiss!!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this.

"Damn! Chen Deng is actually going to defect to the enemy? This is really exciting!"

"Is that the key? Shouldn't the key be that King Qian's tentacles have already reached Xuzhou? He can even easily influence the situation in Xuzhou! Terrifying!"

"Agreed! The world has underestimated King Qian! Fortunately, the Lord has a good relationship with King Qian; otherwise, our scalps would be tingling!"

"By the way, it seems this Xiapi City can't be defended; Lord, where should we go from here?"

Everyone discussed it, and Wei Xu couldn't help but look at Lu Bu and ask.
