Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 5
When Ye Xiao came to the doorman of the conference hall, he heard someone inside arguing with Lu Bu, so don't think too much, anyone who dares to argue with Lu Bu face to face is not afraid of death, and Chen Gong is the only one.

Ye Xiao sneaked in quietly with interest, not intending to disturb the two people's argument, one would kill without blinking an eye, and the other would not be afraid of death, neither is easy to provoke.

The focus of the controversy was naturally that Lu Bu did not consult with Chen Gong when he left the city this time, which led to the morale of the army being disorganized. Especially the newly-recruited Black Mountain Army under Zang Ba, who had lost nearly a third of his troops and took the opportunity to cause chaos in the city. Fortunately, Zhang Liao led the troops to suppress it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Brother Ziming, you're here." Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly brightened when he saw Ye Xiao coming, and he greeted Ye Xiao in a low voice.

And Ziming is Ye Xiao's name. Not to mention that Ye Xiao is quite satisfied, but Zhang Liao, as a good general of five sons, naturally attracted Ye Xiao's attention.

In terms of leading troops to fight, Zhang Liao is naturally not bad. Unfortunately, Zhang Liao is still a little young and has a lot of room for growth. He is the general Ye Xiao wants to win the most in his mind.

"Brother Wen Yuan, you have done a great job in suppressing the rebel army this time." Ye Xiao couldn't help but praise.

"Then how can it be compared to brother Ziming, who made a great achievement in besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao from General Lu's siege."

"It's just good luck. I don't dare to take credit. I have admired Brother Wenyuan for a long time. It is my wish to meet him this time."

"Me? I'm just a subordinate of General Lu!"

"Hey, brother Wen Yuan, why should you belittle yourself? I think that brother Wen Yuan will be able to make contributions in the future, which is no less powerful than General Lu."

Ye Xiao did not tell lies. Since the battle at Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Liao's reputation has been powerful in China, and Jiangdong Erlang even regarded him as a tiger. Lu Bu has never appeared with such a prestigious reputation.

"I don't dare. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. Brother Ziming is the one with the bright future."

……

Just when Ye Xiao and Zhang Liao were complimenting each other, the quarrel between Lu Bu and Chen Gong finally ended with Lu Bu being silent. After all, how could a military general outshine a scholar!

"Ye Xiao, come here." Lu Bu took the opportunity to call Ye Xiao over, obviously to divert Chen Gong's attention. Chen Gong had been watching the battle on the tower today, so he was naturally deeply impressed by Ye Xiao.

"See General Lu"

Ye Xiao saluted politely. After all, Lu Bu is his father-in-law, so a salute is fine.

Chen Gong kept looking Ye Xiao up and down, but didn't find that Ye Xiao was different from usual, so he could only sigh to himself that his eyes were blind.

"You were successful in rescuing the siege today. What credit do you want?" Lu Bu asked in a pretentious manner.

Ye Xiao mentally despised Lu Bu. What reward can you get for a trapped army? Even food and grass are almost out of question.

"Xiao didn't dare to claim credit, it's because General Lu's martial arts are world-class, Cao Jun can't stop the general." Ye Xiao hurriedly put a high hat on Lu Bu, no matter which era, it is necessary to put a high hat on a leader.

"You're just a commoner, so how about being the sacrificial wine under my account?"

Although Ye Xiao didn't know much about the positions in the late Han Dynasty army, the wine ceremony didn't sound good. It was similar to a temporary worker, and he would help wherever there was a need.

"No, it's all up to the general's arrangement." Ye Xiao tactfully agreed.

"Do you have any good ideas to solve the siege of Pi?" Chen Gong asked softly, seemingly interested in Ye Xiao.

"Does the military master have a good strategy?" Ye Xiao asked back.

After hearing this, Chen Gong shook his head helplessly, "I'm exhausted, there's nothing I can do."

"What are you afraid of? The walls of Xiapi City are high and thick. Even if Cao Cao is extremely powerful, he can't break in. Gongtai must not let others have their ambitions and destroy your own prestige."

Lu Bu on the side continued to say unconvinced, "I have my own plan. I only need to stay through the winter and exhaust Cao's food and grass. Why doesn't Cao Cao retreat."

Lu Bu continued to brag about his plan. In his eyes, Cao Cao was no different from other princes of Yuan Shao, and even thought Yuan Shao was more powerful.

"General Lu is right. Cao Cao can't attack, but the autumn floods are coming and the rivers are swollen. Cao Cao could not be expected to flood Xiapi."

Although Ye Xiao's words were polite, they shocked everyone present like a thunderbolt. Flooding the Pi is indeed relatively simple to operate.

Lu Bu's pupils couldn't help dilating, which is beyond what a simple-minded person like him can think of. He couldn't help staring at Ye Xiao, as if he was waiting for a countermeasure.

Chen Gong's performance was much stronger. Obviously, he also thought that Cao Cao might flood Xiapi, so he was full of doubts about Lu Bu's insistence on defending Xiapi.

"What should we do?" Lu Bu couldn't help but ask.

"Take the initiative! Don't give Cao Cao the chance to build a dam to store water and flood the Pi!" Ye Xiao suddenly said calmly, not as forbearing as before.

"Our army of more than [-] people, how can we attack Cao Cao who has [-] armored troops, not to mention the three ungrateful brothers Liu Bei who are helping Cao Cao. It is also because of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that I was dragged back today!"

"The big-eared thief, the ungrateful man, I don't even think about who helped him stop Yuan Shu's army back then. If I capture the big-eared thief again, I must chop him up!" The more Lu Bu said, the more angry he became. Liu Bei, who relied on himself, now turned to Cao Cao to attack him.

"Our army can fight guerrilla warfare with Cao Cao. When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy is tired, we harass!" Ye Xiao quickly brought out the essence of the military of later generations.

Chen Gong read Ye Xiao's words silently several times, and seemed to have figured out something, but it was not very clear, after all, this was the tactics of later generations, how could Chen Gong figure it out all at once.

Lu Bu couldn't understand it even more, but he was overjoyed to hear that Ye Xiao had a way, and walked over to hold Ye Xiao's hand.

"What a good son-in-law! You are truly blessed by me, Lu Bu. I, Lu Bu, should not die, so I will leave this matter entirely to you. All my soldiers and horses will be at your command!"

"General Lu, this person's origin is unknown. I suspect it is Cao Cao's trick. Have you forgotten how Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son responded to Cao Cao?"

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and questioned Ye Xiao!
listen!Lu Bu's face suddenly darkened. This was his most unforgettable betrayal. Chen Gui and his son had paid a lot to gain Lu Bu's trust. Only then did they realize that Chen Gui and his son had always been Cao Cao's work!Otherwise, Lu Bu would not have been defeated by Cao Cao so quickly!
