Chapter 659: Exorcism of the Tiger and the Wolf
On the road, he said to Xu Huang: "Gongming could have killed Yang Feng just now, and it was also a gift from Jin to see Cao Gong, but he gave up, what is the reason?"
Xu Huang was about to reply, when the voice of the chasing soldiers suddenly came from the rear: "Xu Huang is a thief and leave!"
Full of favor said: "Gongming treats people with sincerity, but people will take revenge!"
Xu Huang looked at him with a full of favor, shook his head and said: "Yang Feng will disdain this despicable thing, it must be his subordinates, Bo Ning will avoid it, I will retreat from the enemy!"
Full of favor said: "There is only one person in Gongming, and he can't be beaten!"
Xu Huang smiled slightly and said, "The battle formation I have experienced is much more thrilling than this, haven't you survived it?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Man Pet said: "Okay, I'll watch Gongming fight here!"
Xu Huang came to the middle of the road, lifted the big axe in his hand, looked at the pursuers coldly and said, "I have abandoned Yang Feng and left, what do you mean by here?"
"Xu Huang!" the soldiers who came after him shouted together, "Why did you betray your lord?"
"I don't want to answer this kind of question anymore!" Xu Huang said, "I just want to say that I am not betraying, I am just doing what I should do, Yang Feng is my brother, but not my lord!"
"You dare to use strong words!" everyone shouted, "You must have seen Cao Cao supporting the Son of Heaven, so you want to go forward, I thought you were a righteous man, so it seems that you are just a wall grass falling with the wind!"
"Say whatever you want!" Xu Huang looked at them coldly, "Are you trying to block my way?"
"We know we can't stop you!" Seeing that the god of war they worshiped in the past had now become the enemy they had to face, their hands couldn't help but tremble a little, "But for the sake of the great cause of the lord, we will stop you even if we die!"
"Okay!" Xu Huang knew that it was useless to continue, so he swung his axe and rode his horse to attack, "Brother's soldiers are all good, but we have to fight each other with swords!"
"Kill!" everyone hesitated, but still raised their weapons and rushed forward.
Suddenly, the sound of weapons intersecting was endless, and it seemed that Xu Huang was surrounded by everyone, but in fact, Xu Huang was fighting frantically, and every time he swung the big axe, several of Yang Feng's soldiers fell.
Yang Feng heard that the pursuers were chasing Xu Huang, and he was shocked, and immediately attacked the whole army, came to drink, just saw the shadow of the chasing soldiers, suddenly a cannon sounded, up and down the mountain, the torches were bright, and the ambush army came out, it turned out that Cao Cao personally led the army to take the lead, and shouted: "I have been waiting here for a long time, and I will teach Yang Feng to escape!"
Yang Feng was shocked, anxious to return to the army, had already been surrounded by Cao Bing, the two armies were fighting, Yang Feng fought to the death and escaped, Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos of Yang Feng's army, took advantage of the situation to attack, Yang Feng more than half of the sergeants surrendered, Yang Feng was lonely, and had to lead the defeated soldiers to Yuan Yao.
Cao Cao collected the army and returned to the camp, and he was full of favor to lead Xu Huang into the meeting.
Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Gongming is brave and brave to conquer the world, and I have been strengthened like a tiger!"
Xu Huang said humbly: "The lord has a good reputation, the lord is the master in my Xu Huang's heart, and the lord is willing to serve the dogs and horses!"
Cao Cao said: "In the future, I will rely more on the general's courage to set the world for me, hahahaha!"
Cao Cao got Xu Huang as a general, and there was no obstacle on the way to Xu County, so Yingluan drove to Xudu, ordered skilled craftsmen to build palaces and palaces, re-established the temple and shrine, the yamen of the provincial Taiwan Division, and repaired the city of Guofu. Reward and punish the crime, and listen to Cao Cao's disposal.
Within a few days, Liu Xie issued an edict to entitle Cao Cao as the marquis of Wuping, the general of Wuping, and had the power to open the government, Cao Cao also recommended Xun Yu as the secretary of the Shangshu order, Mao Jue and Ren Jun as the generals of the pawn farmers, urging the supervision of money and grain, Cheng Yu as the minister of Dongping, Dong Zhao as the Luoyang order, full favor as the order of Xu Du, Xiahou Dan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong as generals, Lu Qian, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Xu Huang as captains, and Dian Wei as the captains; Xu Chu and Guo Jiayin were not in Xu Du and had not been canonized, and the rest of the soldiers were each given officials. Since then, the power has been attributed to Cao Cao: the major affairs of the imperial court, first to Cao Cao, and then to play the Son of Heaven.
Cao Cao set up a major event, so he set up a banquet in the back hall of the general's mansion, and gathered all the strategists to discuss: "Liu Bei is stationed in Xuzhou, and he is in charge of state affairs; Because I didn't have time to crusade before, so I left it alone, and today I have been in Xudu, and everything has been settled, I don't know what you have to do?"
Xiahou Yuan raised his glass and said: "This is not simple, my subordinates are willing to borrow 50,000 elite soldiers, behead Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and dedicate them to the lord." ā
Cao Cao was about to agree, but Xun Yu said loudly: "The general is brave and brave, and he doesn't know how to use it." Now Xu Du is newly determined, and no soldiers can be used. Although Liu Bei led Xuzhou, he did not get the edict. Why didn't Cao Gong play the edict and order him to be the pastor of Xuzhou, and at the same time secretly went to believe in Liu Bei and kill Lu Bu. If the thing is successful, there will be no warriors as a supplement, and it will gradually be possible; if it does not work, then Lu Bu will kill Liu Bei, which is a plan for the two tigers to compete for food. ā
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this: "If Wen Ruo has a clever plan, I will send someone to ask the Son of Heaven to send an envoy to Xuzhou, and appoint Liu Bei as the general of the expedition to the east, Yicheng Tinghou, to lead Xuzhou Mu, and attach a secret letter to teach him to trap and kill Lu Bu!"
Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, heard that Liu Xie was fortunate to Xu Du, and was about to celebrate, suddenly reported that the angel arrived, went out of Guo to welcome the county, worshiped the grace of the order, set up a banquet to wait for the envoy, the messenger saw that there was no one around, so he took out Cao Cao's secret book and handed it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked at it, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The envoy is resting in the post house, this matter is still open to discussion." ā
After the banquet dispersed, Liu Bei came to the embassy to rest in peace, and Liu Bei convened all the civil and military officers overnight to discuss the matter.
Zhang Fei said: "Lu Bu is an unrighteous person, why kill him!"
Liu Bei frowned and said: "He came to me in poverty, if I kill him, it will be unjust, what does Yun Chang think?"
Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "Cao Cao had a bad relationship with us last time, there is no reason to be so kind, it must be Cao Cao's strategy to let us and Lu Bu lose both, and then profit from it!"
Liu Bei nodded: "I think so too, it's better to show the letter to Lu Bu, so that we can work together to guard against Cao Cao!"
At this time, Mi Zhu suddenly said: "The lord can't, Cao Cao's support for the Son of Heaven represents the imperial court, and the lord is fighting for the Han family, so isn't he putting himself in danger?"
Liu Bei fell into a contradiction: "It seems that agreeing or refusing is not the best policy!
Chen Deng said: "It's better to unite with Lu Bu first, and then secretly believe to Cao Cao, Cao Cao wants us to lose both, it's better to do the opposite, sit back and watch Lu Bu and Cao Cao fight each other!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "This is exactly what I want!"
Lu Bu also heard that Liu Bei was canonized by the imperial court, and personally came to congratulate him the next day, Liu Beijiao invited him to meet, set up a table to entertain Lu Bu, and the two exchanged cups and lamps.
Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei: "Third brother, what are you doing?"
Lu Bu was also shocked: "Why does Yide just want to kill me?"
Zhang Fei shouted: "Cao Cao Dao, you are an unrighteous person, teach my brother to kill you!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was stunned for a while, Liu Bei knew that he couldn't hide it, so he shouted back Zhang Fei, led Lu Bu into the back hall, and showed the secret book sent by Cao Cao to Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu saw it, he was furious: "Cao thief is so vicious, he really wants to make the two of us discordant!"
Liu Bei said: "Don't worry, general, Liu Bei swears not to do anything unjust." ā
"How could Bu not trust Brother Xuande, he just hated Cao Cao for his viciousness!" Lu Bu had no intention of drinking here anymore, so he thanked him and left.
Seeing that Lu Bu was gone, Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei in confusion: "Why didn't my brother kill Lu Bu?"
Liu Bei said: "This Cao Mengde was afraid that I would conspire with Lu Bu to kill him, so he used this plan to make the two of us annex each other, but he took advantage of it." Why should we listen to him?"
Guan Yu nodded yes, and Zhang Fei said: "I just need to kill these three family slaves to prevent future troubles!"
Liu Bei said: "This is not what the big husband did, and even if we are happy for a while, we are still killed by Cao Cao's knife, which is really unwise! It is better to send the mission back to Beijing for the time being, thank you for your kindness, and write back to Cao Cao, only saying that you will let me wait for Lu Bu!"
The mission returned to Xu Du to see Cao Cao, and told Liu Bei about not killing Lu Bu one by one.
Cao Cao sighed and asked Xun Yu: "This plan can't be done, what can I do?"
Xun Yu smiled: "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"
Cao Cao said: "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf?"
Xun Yu nodded and said: "I just got the news that Yuan Yao was seriously injured by Princess Wannian in Yangzhou with a fire meter, and we can secretly ask Yuan Yao at this time, and report that Liu Bei is on the secret table and wants to invade Huainan." When Yuan Yao heard this, he would attack Liu Bei in anger, and the lord would make an edict to Liu Bei to crusade against Yuan Yao. When the two sides are combined, Lu Bu will have different intentions: this plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf is also. ā
Cao Cao was overjoyed and said: "Wonderful, according to what Wen Ruo said, drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"
So Cao Cao first sent people to Yuan Yao's place to spread the rumor that Liu Bei secretly expressed that the Son of Heaven was going to invade Shouchun, and then sent people to Xuzhou under the false edict of the Son of Heaven.
Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, and when he heard that the mission was coming, he went out of Guo to greet him, and when he started to read the edict, he wanted to raise troops to fight against Yuan Yao. Liu Bei received the order and promised to send the messenger back first.
Mi Zhu said: "This is Cao Cao's plan again. ā
Liu Bei sighed and said: "Although we know that it is a plan, but the king's order cannot be violated, we still order the military horses on the hour, and prepare to set off!"
Sun Qian said at this time: "When the lord goes on an expedition, the city will be empty, and the people who defend the city can be determined first." ā
Speaking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but get upset: "I will discuss matters with my second brother sooner or later, and I can't be separated, but the third brother is strong after drinking and whips the soldiers; I'm not worried. ā
Zhang Fei heard it clearly on the side, and the boss was immediately unhappy on his face: "From now on, my brother will not drink, he will not fight sergeants, and he will just listen to people's advice." ā
Mi Zhu said quietly: "I'm only afraid that my mouth will not be hearty, can the general dare to swear?"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "I have been with my brother for many years, and I have never broken my promise, how can you ignore me!"
Liu Bei said: "Although my brother said this, I still don't feel at ease. He also asked Chen * Yuanlong to assist him, and ordered him to drink less alcohol in the morning and evening, so as not to cause accidents. ā
Chen Deng said helplessly: "No!"
When the payment stopped, Liu Bei commanded the 30,000 Mabu army in Xuzhou and marched towards Huainan.
At this time, Yuan Yao also received the rumor that Liu Bei was going to annex his own prefecture and county, and he couldn't help but be furious: "Liu Bei is just a mat weaver, and now he occupies Xuzhou, and he will be in the same column as me; I haven't beaten him yet, but he has come to beat me!"
Yuan Yao wanted Ji Ling to raise 100,000 troops to go to Xuzhou, but he hated Ji Ling and was seriously injured, the generals had just experienced a big defeat, their fighting spirit was low, and they hated that no one was available, and when they were distressed, Yang Feng and Han Xian, who had just defected, came out and recommended themselves: "The two of us are willing to fight Liu Bei, and worry about Ming Gong!"
Ji Ling also said: "Although his subordinates are injured, there is a strong man named Du Lei, who can be called ten thousand enemies, and the former was trapped in Qu'a by Guan Hai Lu Meng and others, and it is thanks to this person that the army can get out of the siege!
While speaking, Ji Ling ordered someone to bring Du Lei to see Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao saw this Du Lei, and said with great joy: "Okay, order Du Lei to be the vanguard, Yang Feng Han Xian will lead the people of the headquarters to go on the expedition, General Ji Ling will bother you to go to supervise the battle, be sure to bring Liu Bei's head here!"
"No!"
The two armies met in Xuyi, and Liu Bei had to go down to the mountain and water because of the small number of soldiers.
Ji Ling'an went down to the camp and said to Du Lei, today you bring my three-pointed and two-edged knife to battle, and use all your skills!
Du Lei nodded and promised, not to mention that he took Ji Ling's weapon, immediately led the troops out of the battle, and scolded Liu Bei's military camp: "Liu Bei villager, dare to invade my realm!"
Liu Bei didn't dare to be careless, led his troops to battle, and said: "I am edicted by the Son of Heaven to please the minister." Who are you, dare to come and refuse, the crime is not punishable!"
Du Lei didn't say much, patted the horse and danced the knife, and took Liu Bei directly.
Guan Yu shouted: "The horseman is strong!" and fought with Ji Ling. actually thirty times in a row, regardless of victory or defeat. The sergeants on both sides were stunned, and suddenly Du Lei's war horse was injured by Guan Yu's knife, the horse lost its front hooves, and Du Lei was knocked to the ground, Guan Yu saw that there was an opportunity, and immediately raised his knife and cut it, Du Lei had already flashed, and looked at Guan Yu coldly: "A sneak attack is not a big husband!"
"Okay, you go back and change horses and come back!" Guan Yu turned his horse back to the formation and stood in front of the formation to wait.
When Ji Ling saw Du Lei's defeat, he was unhappy, and sent another deputy general, Xun Zheng, to go out.
Guan Yu said: "Just teach that person to come and have a duel with him!"
Xun Zhengdao: "You are an unknown general, I can fight you!"
Guan Yu was furious, took Xun Zheng directly, handed over the horse, and cut Xun Zheng under the horse.
Liu Bei drove the troops to kill the generals, Ji Ling was defeated, retreated to the mouth of the Huaiyin River, and did not dare to fight; only taught the sergeants to steal the camp and rob the village, but they were all defeated by the Xuzhou soldiers, but Ji Ling had many soldiers and horses, and Yang Fenghan Siam was helping, the two armies refused each other, and could not decide the victory or defeat for a while, Ji Ling had to report the battle situation to Yuan Yao.
