Jianming Chaos

In Xiapi City, Lu Mansion.

Lu Bu was thrown into disarray by the sudden fire. He didn't expect Wu Tianhu to use the same moves as the Saint of Fire he met in the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Although the soldiers rushed to put out the fire in time, they still couldn't stop Zhu Rong from ascending to heaven.

"My lord, retreat quickly, the fire is out of control!" A soldier captain shouted.

"Follow me to save Madam!" Lu Bu realized that Wu Tianhu had disappeared, and seeing the fire spreading rapidly, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with a white scarf, and ordered the soldier commander to follow him to rescue people.

The captain of the soldier led several people to the dormitory with the lord to save people.

Diaochan and her younger sister Xuechan were woken up by the thick smoke in their sleep. They heard the noise outside and saw the thick smoke pouring in through the crack of the door, so they knew something was wrong.

They were about to shout for help, when one of them broke into the door and said, "Ma'am, auntie, come with me! The house is on fire, so it's not suitable to stay here for long!"

"Husband, what happened?" Diao Chan got off the bed disheveled, looking flustered.

"It's too late to explain, let's escape first!" Lu Bu quickly tore off a coat from the coat rack, put it on his wife, and fled outside the house with the two of them.

The soldiers escorted the three of them out of the house.Xuechan, who was only 14 years old, seemed to be in a panic, and fled the flames with her sister and brother-in-law.

When they escaped from the mansion, they found that the city was also on fire. Although they were not sure where the source of the fire came from, it was obvious that it was arson.

"What's going on here?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong who had just arrived.

"My lord, I heard people say that a huge fire-breathing bird suddenly appeared in the sky, and it continuously sprayed purple-black ghost fires down, just like a goddess scattering flowers. Those ghost flames were very fierce, and the fire became out of control in an instant. Already!" Chen Gong's tone was quite hasty.Originally, he was about to send people to ambush outside the city to attack Cao Jun.

"A giant fire-breathing bird? A purple-black will-o'-the-wisp?" Lu Bu felt that the plot was a little mystical and familiar.

"I heard it too, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. But if it's not the case, how can I explain it..."

Before Chen Gong finished speaking, a ball of "wild fire" fell from the sky, aiming at the position where Lu Bu was standing.

Lu Bu reacted promptly and pushed his wife and sister-in-law away, and he also dodged somersaults.The will-o'-the-wisp fell to the ground like a meteor, directly smashing a big hole in the ground, and then exploded, sending gravel flying.

Fortunately, Chen Gong also hid quickly, otherwise he would immediately become a "roasted whole lamb".

Everyone hurriedly helped Lu Bu up, and when they looked up, the giant fire-breathing bird appeared again.It is like a mysterious bomber, constantly "dropping bombs" to every corner of the city.

The place that was unfortunately hit by the fireball bomb exploded instantly.The people scattered and fled in all directions, screaming for heaven and earth, and Xiapi has been reduced to a veritable city of fire.

Lu Bu observed carefully, and found that the fireball was not ejected from the mouth of the giant bird, as if there was a person riding on the bird's back.

Maybe other people didn't pay much attention, but Lu Bu who had just finished fighting Wu Tianhu quickly guessed who was riding on the giant bird.

"I didn't expect the strength of the White Tigers to be so strong. It seems that the city cannot be kept, so we have to evacuate!" Lu Bu once again realized the strength of the enemy, and seeing that the general situation was over, he had to order all the staff to evacuate.

However, misfortunes never come singly, the god of fire has not had enough fun, and the god of water comes to add to the chaos.The Huai River outside the south gate and the Surabaya River passing through the city suddenly joined forces to rebel. They "cooperated from the inside to the outside" and took advantage of the large difference in terrain to show their ferocious features that had not been seen for many days, pouring huge floods into the city from all directions. It seems that the whole city is going to be devoured overnight.

The God of Water and the God of Fire joined forces to attack and complement each other, causing the situation in the city to collapse, and people fled one after another. Unfortunately, they couldn't match the speed of the flood and were instantly submerged in the torrent.

Seeing the people around him being washed away by the flood, Lu Bu ordered that he must swear to the death to protect his wife and sister-in-law.

Under the protection of the soldiers, Diaochan and Xuechan managed to save their lives.Seeing the soldiers protecting them being swept away by the huge flood one after another, the two were worried.

The flood was so powerful that it not only washed away people and animals, but also destroyed many buildings.The city gates on all sides were also knocked open by the huge water pressure.

The giant bird is still "dropping bombs" endlessly, and this super-high temperature flame even escalated the flood into boiling water.People were either drowned or scalded to death, and the whole city was like a big hot pot boiling water.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't bear it any longer, so he jumped up to a commanding height with his lightness kung fu, and with all his strength, he threw a halberd into the air.

The giant bird was caught off guard and was hit by the trick. It instantly turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated into the sky.The bird rider also disappeared into the night sky instantly, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

"Sure enough, it was him who escaped my death halberd! That bird was transformed from clouds and mist!" Lu Bu's night vision ability is not weak, and he can see clearly with the help of the night dyed red by the flames. The bird rider is Wu Tianhu.

Wu Tianhu, who was good at invisibility, obviously didn't intend to fight again, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After the fire god was driven away, the water god also began to restrain himself.After the flood satisfied the desire to ravage the city, it gradually cooled down and receded.

These two catastrophes that came and went in a hurry have ruthlessly claimed tens of thousands of lives; the rest is a desolate and horrible scene.

Although he was lucky enough to escape the disaster, Lu Bu couldn't be happy at all. He saw that the soldiers around him were all in a mess and exhausted;

"The hateful White Tiger Team actually destroyed Xiapi City and killed so many innocent people!" Lu Bu raised his fists high and shouted angrily.He concluded that the flood was also created by Wu Tianhu, although he didn't know what spell the other party used.

"White Tiger Team?" Chen Gong walked over and asked, dragging his wet body.

Lu Bu felt that there was no need to hide it, so he told him about the assassination in the mansion just now; he also told him that the fire in the mansion and the ghost fire from the sky were caused by the same person.

"Unexpectedly, the enemy army still has such power beyond human beings! In this way, Cao Jun has already known our plan! They will definitely snatch Cai Yan before Zhang Liao! Moreover, Gao Shun will also be there Encountered an ambush on the way!" Chen Gong was shocked.

"Of course I know, it's just a disaster and I have no time to deal with it. But fortunately, I saved my hand. I have already told Hu Chuquan of my request to send Cai Yan away in advance, and he should know how to deal with it." Lu Bu was mysterious. Xi said.

"What?!" Chen Gong couldn't believe it, "Didn't the lord stay in the city all the time, how could it be..."

"This is the ability to plan ahead. It's a pity that we still lost this battle." Lu Bu looked down at the devastated land with a solemn expression, and let out a long sigh.

"My lord, I still don't quite understand." Chen Gong's face was full of confusion.

Lu Bu explained: "Actually, yesterday I secretly sent Meteor Horse to Liangcheng."

"What does my lord mean, the day before Zhang Liao's departure, has someone been arranged to meet Huchuquan?" Chen Gong was puzzled, he knew that Zhang Liao had just left the city not long ago.

"That's right. In fact, when I first received the secret letter from Hu Chuquan, I planned to send Cai Yan to Qu County, but since only I know her whereabouts, it is inconvenient to disclose it to you for the time being, so I can only do it in secret. I just mentioned this matter in the mansion just now, just to see your opinions. I sent Zhang Liao to Liangcheng just to confirm whether Huchuquan has implemented this matter, and to send reinforcements along the way. Now it seems that Zhang Liao should not be able to keep up with them Speed, we can only hope that Hu Chuquan has sent Cai Yan away." Lu Bu told the truth.

"Why can't Zhang Liao keep up with their speed? Even if the enemy knows the news, they can't be one step faster than Zhang Liao, right?" Chen Gong didn't understand.

"Cao Cao uses his troops with great speed, and there must be a way to be faster than Zhang Liao. Isn't the giant bird in the sky just now a proof? The speed of a horse is not as fast as a bird, right?" Lu Bu knew that with the strength of the White Tigers, they wanted to arrive ahead of Zhang Liao. Good city is not difficult.

"So that's how it is." Chen Gong believed it, "The White Tigers are really too powerful. It seems that Marquis Wen has made up his mind to let Cai Yan leave this land of Han."

"That's right! Even if I have to be quartered by five horses, I swear that Cao Bandit will never see her again!" Lu Bu declared firmly.

"However, how did this flood come about? I'm sure Cao Jun didn't start any action." Chen Gong's tone was beyond doubt.

"At the moment, I can only consider it to be God's will. Xiapi is located at the 'Dragon's Back'. If the earth dragon turns over at will, it may cause a flood. The sky wants to destroy me, so I have to obey the destiny!" Lu Bu sighed, feeling helpless love.

"Husband, you must never give up on yourself!" Diao Chan could not let the fire of his lover's fighting spirit be wiped out, "We have been in the same boat all the way, we have gone through many difficulties and obstacles, and we have survived until today; seeing that the enemy army is about to run out of food and retreat, you But he suddenly lost his fighting spirit and told me to wait!"

Lu Bu looked at his lover affectionately, and said: "Hongchang (Diao Chan's nickname), forgive me for breaking my promise. I can't give you happiness in this life, and I will make it up in the next life!"

"I don't need your compensation in the next life, it's enough to be with me in this life!" Diao Chan couldn't help throwing herself into the arms of her lover.

Lu Bu hugging his lover is like hugging a golden mountain, a golden mountain that has been baptized by the rainstorm but still stands firm.He felt that he spent most of his life fighting and never enjoyed life; if he hadn't met Diao Chan, he might not have experienced the sweetness of love until the day he died.

Chen Gong looked at Diao Chan crying bitterly, and thought regretfully in his heart: "If it weren't for your woman's opinion, why would our army have stayed so stupid until today!"

It turned out that at the beginning, Chen Gong suggested that Lu Bu personally lead a group of infantry and cavalry to station outside the city.If Cao's army attacked Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others would lead the defenders out of the city to rescue; if Cao's army directly attacked the city, Lu Bu could also lead the garrison to support and defeat the enemy together.Lu Bu had already agreed, but because of Diao Chan's words, he gave up his idea.Diao Chan was worried that after Lu Bu left the city, Chen Gong and Gao Shun, who had been at odds for a long time, would take the opportunity to fight among themselves, which would be detrimental to their sisters.In fact, Chen Gong's strategy of "complementing each other" is quite beneficial to defending the city, but it is a pity that Lu Bu believed too much in the words of the confidante, and missed the only chance to keep the city.

Even so, Chen Gong was still unwilling to give up, saying: "Marquis Wen, don't rush to draw conclusions, the outcome of this battle is yet to be known!"

Lu Bu let go of his lover slowly, and asked: "Is there any way for Gongtai to reverse the decline?"

"Although Zhurong and Gonggong suffered at the same time, water and fire are incompatible, and the destructive power can offset each other; and the flood broke out from within, and the walls on all sides are still strong. As long as our army can hold on to the four gates for three to five days , Cao Jun will retreat." Chen Gong suggested.

"The city was flooded, and countless floating corpses flowed out of the city with Surabaya; the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the food and grass were soaked. Under such circumstances, how to hold on?" Lu Bu was seriously lacking in fighting spirit at the moment.

"As long as the vitality is still there, we will have a comeback one day! As long as we stick to it for a few days, once the Cao army retreats, we can join forces with the Xiongnu to attack Xudu!" Chen Gong is still full of fighting spirit.

"Master Chen is right. As long as we survive these few days and the enemy forces retreat, we can regroup." As a young woman, Diao Chan seemed to have more desire to survive than her husband.

Lu Bu's heart was like a nearly withered flower, moistened by rain, dew and rain, and it came back to life in an instant.His fighting spirit was rekindled.

Unfortunately, God did not give him one last chance.Due to the rebellion of the generals Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others, and Lu Bu's own stance was not firm, the enemy broke into the city under Guo Jia's plan, defeated the defenders, and tied Lu Bu and Chen Gong backhanded. Baimen upstairs awaits trial.Lu Bu had a chance to escape, but for Diao Chan's sake, he had to give in.Knowing that his fate was not long, he couldn't help sighing deeply, regretting that he didn't listen to Chen Gong's suggestion.

Gao Shun, who had just left the city, was also intercepted by Cao's army and was escorted back to Xiapi for trial; although Zhang Liao was not intercepted, he saw flames rising in the city of Xiapi on the way, and knew something had happened, so he turned back after careful consideration.

In the end, under Cao Cao's comprehensive consideration, Lu Bu, Chen Gong and Gao Shun were all hanged; Zhang Liao and others surrendered to Cao Cao; sisters Diao Chan were brought back to Xudu and became Cao Cao's concubines.Diaochan couldn't bear the humiliation, and in order to preserve her chastity, she committed suicide with hatred, leaving her young sister behind.Although Cao Cao buried Diao Chan generously and did not treat Xue Chan badly, she still suffered from the pain of bereavement every day and couldn't extricate herself.A few years later, Xuechan was favored by Tianfeng and became the first lady of the White Tigers, but this did not eliminate her resentment towards Cao Cao and others.The long-term psychological depression and mental torment caused her brain to be damaged and lesions began to appear, and finally formed wind salivation (brain tumor), but she did not realize it.This is for later.
