Chapter 506: One Arrow Shoots Two Eagles
Everyone entered the mansion in turn, sat down as guests and hosts, and Zhang Fei, who likes calligraphy and painting, looked curiously at the carved beams and paintings, utensils and antiques here, and the appearance on the battlefield was like two people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tao Qian stared at Liu Bei and said suddenly: "Xuande is very high, dignified, and the state pastor is also talented, it is a pity to be a county and keep honesty, Zizhong, take the letter and seal." β
Liu Bei listened to Tao Qian's first half of the sentence and humbly thanked him, but in the second half of the sentence, he was confused, looked at Tao Qian blankly, and saw Tao Qian nodding slightly.
After a while, Mi Zhu brought a tray with a yellow bag on it, and Tao Qian trembled and took it to Liu Bei: "I still hope that Xuande will not quit." β
Liu Bei was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Tao Qian sighed and said: "Today's disturbance, Wang Gang is sluggish, Xuande is a member of the Han family, and he is stressing to support Sheji, the old man is old and incompetent, and he is willing to give up Xuzhou, and he will write his own expression and play the imperial court in the future." β
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar, and they all felt that although Liu Bei had no great evil, he had no great merit, at best, he chased a few Yellow Turban thieves and changed a few officials, and then Xingyang Sanying fought against Lu Bu, but what was that?
Liu Bei left Xi Zhengse and bowed again: "Although the Han family is a Miao descendant, but the merit is meager, and he is afraid that he is incompetent for Runan, and now it is a great righteousness, so he came to help, and the public said this, is it suspected that he has the intention of annexation?
When he said this, the sunlight was shining into the window of the mansion, lining behind Liu Bei, like a god descending to earth.
To be exact, a Buddha, because only a Buddha's ears can be as fast as his shoulders.
Tao Qian said: "The truth of this old man!" again and again.
Where is Liu Bei willing to accept it, even if he is willing to accept it, he doesn't dare to accept it now!
Mi Zhu really couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Today, Cao's soldiers are coming to the city, and discussing the strategy of retreating from the enemy. β
The crowd proclaimed goodness.
Guan Yu took the opportunity to say: "The Cao army did not take advantage today, and was frustrated by our army, and will not give up, if I guess correctly, the enemy army will rob the camp tonight." β
Liu Bei also took the opportunity to say: "It's better to take advantage of the fact that it's still early, I'll go out of the city and stick to the camp, even so, Bei still has to repair the next letter of persuasion to Cao Cao, our army has Tao Gong's grain and grass dependence, and also the name of the monarch and the generals under his command Wu Yong, why worry about Cao Jun not retreating!"
Although Tao Qian was an old eye, he was not faint during the battle just now, so he agreed to Liu Bei's request without thinking about it.
So Liu Bei passed on the three villages, and for the time being, he did not move, and sent people to write a letter to Cao Cao.
"Lord Qiqi, there is a war book in Xuzhou. β
Cao Cao Tie took the letter with a blushing face, and opened it to see that it was Liu Bei's letter:
"I have to worship the monarch from Henan, and the day after tomorrow is on one side, and I don't have time to serve. Xiang, respected his father Cao Hou, but because Zhang Min was unkind, he was killed, and it was not Tao Gongzu's crime. At present, the Yellow Turban is left behind, disturbing the outside, and Dong Zhuoyu's party is entrenched inside. May the Ming Duke first be anxious for the imperial court, and then for personal revenge, and withdraw the troops of Xuzhou to save the country: then Xuzhou is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate!"
Cao Cao didn't look at it, but after reading it, he was even more angry: "Who is Liu Bei, dare to persuade me with a book, and there is a sarcasm in the middle, and today it is hateful to frustrate my spirit, see me destroy you with wisdom in the future!
"The lord is slow!" A person walked into the tent, it was the drama Zhicai who trapped Xiangcheng the day before yesterday, and he specially rushed to Cao Jun's village.
Cao Cao saw that it was a drama Zhicai who had always had strange tricks, and his heart was a little relieved, "Zhicai can have a good plan to break Liu Bei's reinforcements?"
"I have heard of today's events. Xi Zhicai paused slightly.
"Alas!" Cao Cao sighed.
"The lord fell for Liu Bei's plan!" said Xi Zhicai quietly.
"What?" Cao Cao was shocked, "Zhicai said to listen to it." β
Xi Zhicai said loudly: "Xuande salutes first and then soldiers, the lord should not abolish the number of courtesies!"
Cao Cao understood, and ordered the money to be left behind and asked him to wait for the reply in a separate account.
"I watched in Xiangqian for a few days, Tian Kai, Kong Rong are all cowardly people, why not the lord is reluctant to raid his camp near and far, and then can be on Liu Bei's army into a flank attack, Liu Beijun came to the aid from afar, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, Runan Pingyu to Xuzhou Tancheng more than 700 miles, more than 20 days of marching on the road, at this moment will inevitably have a great drop in morale, and I heard that they are all bandits who have just descended and have been lacking training for a long time, this is not enough to worry, but today I don't take advantage of its foothold and attack it, at its mercy, and now it is sent to the letter, but also slow down our army's heart, and he has food and grass to rely on, and we have to retreat for a long time. β
"Report!" the scout entered the tent, "Liu Bei and everyone are feasting in the camp!"
"Well, explore again!" Cao Cao watched him out, turned his head and asked Xi Zhicai, "According to Zhicai's intentions, what will I be?"
Xi Zhicai frowned: "I heard that the lord once said that Liu Bei is very strategic, I don't know if this is true?"
"Yes, among the several characters who rose through the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Gao Yi, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei are not idle characters!" Cao Cao nodded.
"In this way, if you want to deal with Tao Qian, you must first deal with this Liu Bei!"
"Zhicai's worries are even the same as mine, but now Liu Bei's strength is weak, in fact, there is nothing to do, tonight we only rob the camp, only ask the army to act cautiously!"
"Since the lord knows this plan, I don't need to say much, so I ask the lord to give an order!"
At night, the stars disappeared, dimmed, several people sat around the bonfire, Guan Yu held a "Spring and Autumn" in that serious reading, Zhang Fei got a jar of wine from Tao Qian, and was about to enjoy it, but was pulled by Tai Shici to discuss the experience of practicing martial arts.
"Ziyi, your archery skills are really powerful, but on the battlefield, you can't rely on archery alone, why don't you take advantage of today's good weather, how about we try our weapon skills?" Zhang Fei and Tai Shi Ci said that they were elated, and they were going to take his Zhangba snake spear to compare with Tai Shi Ci.
Tai Shi Ci smiled and declined: "General Zhang, it's not too late to compete after defeating Cao Cao, otherwise our physical strength will be consumed on this, where will we have the strength to kill the enemy?" In fact, sitting together like this now, it is also good to discuss and discuss, you don't have to use knives and guns!"
"Oh?" This statement was novel and interesting, attracting Guan Yu's attention, "Just talking but not practicing, isn't it just talking on paper?"
"Not necessarily, I don't know if the two generals have noticed, although the strength of the people is high, but the characteristics are different, some people pay attention to defense, and some people have both offense and defense, just like the two generals pay attention to the momentum of the people, fast attack, but in defense will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of, so I suggest that the two generals also pay attention to increasing the speed when you attack, so that those who are equal to the strength of the two or even a few points higher can only concentrate on defending your attack and have no time to fight back, so that they can both shock the enemy and retreat from the realm, then there will be no situation where the three of them have the upper hand against Lu Bu that dayγ Tai Shici was not ambiguous, and directly said his thoughts.
Guan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he deeply agreed, but Zhang Fei, who has always been short-tempered, not only did not get angry, but smiled heartily: "Ziyi is right, I will definitely understand more in this regard in the future." β
"What are you talking about? So happy!" Liu Bei returned from patrolling the camp, and when he saw a few people talking excitedly, he also walked over.
Tai Shi Ci said with a wit: "You see that the sky is dark tonight, why don't we have an archery competition of 'listening to the voice'!"
"What kind of argument?" said archery, and of course everyone was very interested.
"Actually, it's very simple! Archery mainly relies on eyesight, but what should I do if I am hungry now? I don't bother to move......" Tai Shici deliberately hung their appetite.
"Quack!" came the crows of several crows.
"What an annoying sound, where's my bow and arrow?" said Tai Shici, taking his bow from the soldier's hand, and shooting an arrow at the place where the crow's cry came from in the tree.
"Wow, quack!" A crow with an arrow fluttered and fell, and Tai Shici pouted: "Ah, that's it!"
"It's a fun way to play. Zhang Fei immediately stood in the open space, holding a bow and arrow, turning his body around, as soon as he heard a black sound, he shot over, and after a while, he shot down several pigeons, Tai Shici did not show weakness, raised his hand and shot an arrow, only to hear a scream in the air, but nothing fell.
"No, this pigeon is too good, right?" Zhang Fei was surprised, what pigeon can run away if it is hit by an arrow?
I only heard a "click", and a white rabbit fell in mid-air.
"Is there a mistake, the rabbit can fly?" Zhang Fei was taken aback.
"Make no mistake, just now an eagle caught a rabbit and unfortunately ran into a pigeon, the eagle was about to attack the pigeon but was shot by an arrow from me, so I had to abandon the rabbit in pain before fleeing for my life, this is the beauty of listening, it is a test of people's ears!" Tai Shici said very confidently.
The four laughed and continued to shoot.
After waiting for a while, everyone realized a problem: why are all pigeons being shot!
Others also saw it and couldn't figure it out.
"It's definitely not accidental!" Liu Bei walked to the pigeon's corpse and picked up one, rummaged over and over it to examine it carefully, and finally found a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's claws, took it down and looked at it, there was a note: "The whole army is on standby, just waiting for the lord's order!"
It turned out to be the enemy's flying pigeon biography!
"Could it be that Cao Cao attacked the reinforcements in the north?" Dividing troops to attack Liu Bei was not afraid, but he was afraid that it would be bad for him to pestle himself here and attack the whole army, and it stands to reason that the peace persuasion he wrote should go to Cao Ying, and Cao Cao didn't have a very good relationship with him when he opposed Dong Zhuo's alliance? Could it be that Cao Cao didn't even give himself face? Although he said that he didn't expect Cao Cao to give himself face at all.
Or is he not taking himself seriously at all!
"Shoot too much, roast it first and share it with the brothers!" Tai Shici and Zhang Fei threw it on the ground, and the pigeons were piled up in a large piece.
"One, two, three...... There are more than thirty of them, take a look, are they all tied to bamboo tubes on their feet?" Liu Bei subconsciously counted, and couldn't help but be surprised, how could there be so many pigeons flying in the sky at night, and besides, there was a war going on here, and the beasts would not be stupid enough to die, unless-
Everyone flipped through: "En!"
Sure enough, they are all carrier pigeons specially trained by the military.
The carrier pigeon, also known as the "communication pigeon", is derived from the common pigeon, The development and cultivation of a special population, because the pigeon has a natural homing instinct, whether it is blocking thousands of mountains and rivers or lofty mountains, they have to return to their familiar and living place, because their love home and homing are discovered by people, and breeding, development, use to transmit critical information, especially military information, but also because they transmit information when hidden, so it is difficult for ordinary people to associate it with the bloody and cruel war, when Chu and Han fought, Liu Bang, who was pursued by Xiang Yu and hid in the waste well, was rescued by a carrier pigeon for helpγ
What kind of medicine is sold in Cao Cao's gourd?
"One or two are okay to say, they are all tied...... Are you trying to confuse us?" said Tai Shi Ci.
"If that's the case, is there any danger to the reinforcements from the north?" Zhang Fei was a little anxious.
Liu Bei quietly did not speak, although he has always been very disgusted with the reality of this kind of trick, but now that he is in the scene, he can't stay out of it, since the enemy wants to confuse himself, but it is not impossible not to make a detour to attack Kong Rong them, because the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet is real, even if he sends a letter, he will fish in troubled waters and there is no trace of it.
It's a life-or-death gamble.
Since it was deliberately leaked to them by the enemy, there is a chance that it is false information, but now that things are in chaos, is there a breakthrough for people to confirm that this is fake?
"Ziyi, you might be able to quickly tell the direction in which the pigeon is flying?" Looking at the map of the enemy and our garrison on the bookcase, Liu Bei suddenly remembered something, and asked Tai Shi Ci as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Mostly southwest. Tai Shi Ci said with great certainty, "Have you seen your eyebrows?"
"Time is a bit short, we may have been monitored by the enemy's spies for a long time, so first, send a small team of soldiers around in the name of chopping wood to blatantly confuse the judgment of those spies, we still act according to the original plan!"
"Are you ready?" Cao Cao asked in a loud voice as he faced the soldiers outside the tent.
"Ready!" the soldiers responded enthusiastically, staring at their invincible leader.
"Cao Hong, Xi Zhicai, full of favors to guard Zhongzhai, and the rest of the soldiers will set off with me!"
"Why should the lord go to battle in person, in case there are three long and two short-" Xi Zhicai said uneasily.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've crawled out of the pile of dead people, not to mention that Liu Bei has already transferred half of his troops to other places, and the scouts have reported that they are celebrating, and they are not prepared at all. "Cao Cao originally wanted to say that I didn't live a good life without you Xi Zhicai? But when I thought of Xi Zhicai's loyalty, I didn't say much.
At the time of the third watch, a group of people and horses quietly marched towards Liu Bei's military camp.
A bonfire crackled in the open space in front of the camp, and a circle of drunken generals sat around, dozens of soldiers singing military songs and beating drums, completely unaware of the impending danger around them.
"My lord, our cavalry has pinned down the enemy army in the north. β
"Okay, give the order to rob the camp!" Cao Cao said.
"Rush, kill!" Li Quan and Le Jin led the army into the camp like two fierce tigers, Li Quanjun chased and killed the small soldiers who didn't understand what was going on while setting fire outside the tent, Le Jin was afraid that Li Quan would rob the merit, so he led the light cavalry alone to rush to the bonfire, and the knife fell, Guan Yu, Zhang Feitai, Shi Ci, and Liu Bei's head was easily cut off by him.
Li Cheng rushed over when he heard the voice: "Wen Qian, you!"
Le Jin was also a little dumbfounded, but there was no half-star blood on the knife edge! He carefully looked at the corpse on the ground.
Straw Man!
"How many people are there in the enemy camp?" asked Lejin.
"It's less than a thousand, and I ran more than half of it just now. Li Chuan said, "It seems that the enemy has already laid an ambush, but fortunately, the lord has already seen through it, so let's pretend that Emperor Zhang wants to retreat!"
Before the words were finished, Tai Shici and Liu Bei, each leading more than 1,000 people and horses to appear on the left and right, surrounding Li Chuan and Le Jin Tuan in the core.
Seeing this, Li Cheng and Le Jin shouted: "The enemy army is overwhelming, why don't we fight to the death to repay the grace of the lord!"
The troops responded in unison, immediately put on the defensive, and their morale rose instead.
Cao Cao saw that the time had come, so he ordered the whole army to attack, and suddenly Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and LΓΌ Qian rushed out, and Cao Cao himself commanded a group of men and horses to rush towards Liu Bei's army.
Tai Shici did not dare to be careless, and immediately divided his troops to meet the enemy, leaving Liu Bei and Li Quan and Le Jin.
Suddenly, Guan Yu stabbed out and killed him, slapping his horse to defeat Xiahou Yuan, and a green dragon glaive sword danced like a tiger, and there was a faint sound of thunder.
Xiahou Yuan didn't expect Guan Yu to come up and make a killing move, and immediately propped up the ghost head slashing * saber in his hand to protect his body, but Guan Yu did not attack, and suddenly stopped Lu Qian who wanted to attack Liu Bei's rear, Lu Qian was shocked, fortunately, Xiahou Yuan came, and the two generals killed Guan Yu, intending to suppress more and less.
Guan Yu was not afraid, it seemed that this was his purpose, he calmly dealt with the attacks of Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian, but the more he fought, the more energetic he became.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be furious when he saw it on the side, and the horse wanted to step forward to help, but the sword of Yitian was unsheathed, and before he could attack, there was an additional figure in front of him, it was Tai Shi Ci holding a double halberd, and he pointed at himself like lightning.
Cao Cao was born in martial arts, so he naturally has a good martial arts, he raised his sword to separate the halberds, and the sword flowers in his hands flew up, and a heroic spirit was proud!
What kind of character is Tai Shici! He knew that the other party was Cao Cao, and he also made a killing move in an instant!
Between Cao Cao's swing of the sword, he put the double halberd in his hand together, and the double halberd turned into a double-headed halberd!
"What?" Cao Cao felt a slight feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, Tai Shi Ci relied on his natural speed to dance the double-headed halberd tiger vigorously, and a semi-circular halberd shadow circle quickly appeared on the periphery of his body, and aggressively moved towards Cao Cao, forcing him to retreat step by step.
"Lord be careful!" Cao Ren saw it in the front army, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran back, when another figure stood in front of him.
It was Mi Fang, who rescued Cao Leopard from Cao Leopard's army the day before yesterday, and he struggled to intercept Cao Ren and slashed at his head.
Cao Ren raised his left hand, and the shield on his forearm caught the move.
"You are really hateful, let you know that I am powerful!" Cao Ren saw that Cao Cao was in danger, and saw that Mi Fang was just a yellow-haired boy with his hands folded.
"What kind of move is this?" Mi Fang was slightly surprised.
Cao Ren almost pulled out a strange-looking three-foot long weapon in an instant, it turned out that the shield was his sheath, but when he saw his soldiers go to the shield, Mi Fang had no ability to parry for a while, only the power to fight back, Mi Fang knew that Cao Ren was powerful, and he made frequent dangerous moves with his strength but Cao Ren couldn't help it at all.
At this time, Guan Yu saw that Mi Fang's situation was critical not far away, and immediately forced Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian back with a knife, and danced the knife on horseback, directly took Cao Ren, and saved Mi Fang.
Mi Fang was saved, and she couldn't help but be grateful to Guan Yu: "Thank you General Guan for saving me!"
"Leave it to us to deal with here, General Mi Fang, you lead a group of men and horses to harass the main camp of the Cao army!" Guan Yu glanced at Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian, who were following behind, and whispered to Mi Fang.
Mi Fang nodded, and left with his troops.
Seeing this, Cao Ren was about to intercept Mi Fang, but Guan Yu had already made a move, and at this time, Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian also led troops, and the three generals surrounded Guan Yu, but they couldn't think of taking advantage of it at all, but they were shocked by Guan Yu's might.
Cao Cao looked angry and anxious, just one Guan Yu, it was so powerful, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Cao Ying were among the best generals, but in front of Guan Yu, it was like a child facing an adult.
"Miaocai, Zixiao, Zike, don't pay attention to Guan Yu, it's important to hold Liu Bei!" Cao Cao struggled to fight with Tai Shi Ci, but after a few moves, even the Yitian Sword was knocked away by Tai Shi Ci's double halberd.
"Don't hurt my master!" Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren Lu Qian did not listen to Cao Cao's words, abandoned Guan Yu, and immediately returned to the horse to save Cao Cao, Tai Shici then withdrew.
"The lord is not good, Zhongzhai has been lost, it is the enemy army and horses!" Cao Jun's herald came in a panic.
"What? I had already ordered everyone when I came, how could I lose it?" Cao Cao saw that he could not take advantage of this, so he had to order the withdrawal of troops.
Not far back, two people and horses suddenly flashed on the road to block the way, embroidered flag shadow, two horses flew out, it was just a big victory in the village and returned to the Hou Cao Jun Mi Fang and Cao Bao two.
Cao Cao's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly ordered the whole army to resist the enemy.
After a long battle, Tai Shici, Liu Guanzhang and others also rushed over, forming a front and rear attack.
Seeing that the soldiers under him were gradually decreasing, Cao Cao's eyes were full of anger, and he shouted: "The tiger and leopard ride out of the ranks!"
"Yes!" With a uniform response, the two armies separated, and a cavalry phalanx appeared, all of them were covered with armor, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and they looked like black gods of war in the world, they were armed with spears, and rushed towards the infantry cavalry formation that intercepted them and their pursuers like lightning.
The random arrows were shot over, but they were all deflected by the heavy armor, and the halberd pierced them, as if they were tickling someone, what kind of monster is this?
Most of the men and horses led by Mi Fang are not strong in combat and the weapons are not well-armed, how can they withstand such a massacre with a huge difference in strength, and on the other side, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also killed dozens of people, but the world-famous tiger and leopard ride is not covered, and after a while, the tiger and leopard ride cleared a way out, so Cao Cao led the troops to retreat calmly.
The two armies met, counted the men and horses, and lost more than 1,000 infantry troops and dozens of cavalry in this battle, and everyone knew that their purpose was to defend rather than attack, so they did not chase Cao's army, and went back.
Cao Cao saw that the other party did not chase after him, so he calmed down and came to the front of the village, but saw Cao Hong and them staying in the village with their brows furrowed.
"Brother Hong, is the stockade not lost?"
Seeing that Cao Cao was back, Cao Hong knelt on the ground: "Big brother, the enemy did attack the camp, and also burned a large amount of grain, grass and siege equipment. β
"It's because I'm not careful, it's good that the village hasn't been lost, tell me what's going on?"
"That's right, at the beginning, several soldiers reported that the eldest brother was defeated in front and asked me to go to the rescue, I thought to myself how could I be defeated by the courage of the eldest brother, and soon a mysterious army came, and it was a massacre and a burning camp, we had to work hard to support, but after they burned the baggage, they gave up the stockade that they were about to capture, and returned the same way. β
"That's because they want to preserve their strength and block my retreat, thanks to the tiger and leopard cavalry attack, we were able to retreat with their whole body, tonight's battle, we lost food and grass, they broke men and horses, compared to our army is advantageous!" Cao Cao said with a frown, suddenly realizing that something was wrong.
When fighting with Mi Fang's men and horses, the opponent's combat effectiveness was very low, how could such a lowly army succeed in robbing the village?
But in the whole process of robbing the village, only Cao Hong was supporting, Xi Zhicai did almost nothing, and the soldiers came to report that Xi Zhicai was seriously ill and could not be a director, is this really the case?
"But without food and grass, how can our army survive?" Cao Hong didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, and said with a sad face.
"Brother Hong, look!" Cao Cao ordered everyone to open a hole, which was already full of grain and grass, "This has been prepared a long time ago, the enemy wants to let me retreat from the army again, daydreaming!"
"But they're also vicious, and they're just as vicious as we are. Xi Zhicai coughed and said, he himself was surprised when Cao Cao had prepared such food and grass in this place.
The people and horses were restless, and Li Qian, Li Qian, Li Quan's father, led a team back: "Lord!"
"Why is General Li so slow? If you had come to help just now, the enemy camp would have been taken in one go. Cao Cao said slightly dissatisfied.
"The lord doesn't know, I wanted to contain Kong Rongjun, but I ran into a mysterious army, and I had to get out after a long battle!" Li Gan showed everyone the slight injuries on his body.
"Mysterious troops? Who could it be at this time?, could it be Sun Jian? Isn't he being pinned down by Liu Biao in the Jiangxia area? General Li get up, the other party will wait for work, and you won't be ashamed if you lose!" Cao Cao waved his hand to signal Li Gan to get up, but he fell into deep thought.
Chen Liu, too guarded mansion.
"Qi Yu Taishou, Chen Gong asks to see you!"
"Hurry up, please!" The person in the seat was Zhang Miao, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he realized something.
"Brother Meng Zhuo, don't come to harm?" Chen Gong entered from the outside, revealing a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
"I'm afraid that the public platform is here to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!"
"Meng Zhuo is refreshing, I won't beat around the bush, the little brother wants to discuss the anti-Cao matter with his brother!"
"What?" Zhang Miao slapped the table hard and stood up, he tried to calm his emotions, "Gongtai is really joking! Cao Cao can become the assassin of Yanzhou, all because of the recommendation of you and Yanzhou officials, and now you want to oppose him?"
"Brother Meng Zhuo looks at me like he's joking?"
"Chen Gongtai, do you believe that based on what you just said, I can arrest you and throw you into prison now?" Zhang Miao sat down again, "I read that we have been friends for many years, I didn't hear what you said just now, come and see off guests!"
"When did the dignified Chen Liutaishou become Cao Cao's slave, farewell!" Chen Gong got up and left.
"Wait, what you just said, you say it again!"
"Why should I say it again?"
"Chen Gongtai, I'm looking at our friends and not worrying about you. β
"It's because you regard my Chen Gong as a friend that I can't watch you jump into the fire pit, I, Chen Gong, am not afraid of breaking off my friendship with you, what I am afraid of is that countless Han people will die innocently!" Chen Gong turned around and said excitedly.
Zhang Miao lowered his head, he knew what Chen Gong was talking about.
"Cao Cao once said two sentences, does Meng Zhuo know? It was these two sentences that made me realize his true face. β
"Which two sentences?"
"I'd rather teach me to bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me!"
Zhang Miao was in a daze, with a vicious tone.
"At that time, he assassinated Dong Zhuo and failed, fled to Chen Liu, and was caught by me in Zhongmu, and I talked about the world with him, so I wanted to raise the banner of righteousness with him, but he indiscriminately killed Lu Bohao's family by mistake only by sharpening the knife, Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo were originally a raccoon dog, only hated Chen Gong's clumsiness, and thought he was a hero. β
"But when opposing Dong Zhuo, Meng De is the most active!"
"I admit this, and that's what I admired him before, but that can only explain part of it, not all of it, look at what Cao Cao is doing now, it's just a killing machine, even if it's for his father's death, it should be enough, what is the crime of the people?"
"Brother Gongtai, you're not unreasonable!
"Meng Zhuo, don't deceive yourself! Don't you remember Bian Rang? Bearing the name of the world's righteous people, he was killed just because he said a few words that made Cao Cao dissatisfied, although the entire Yanzhou celebrities and celebrities jointly interceded at that time, but they could not prevent this tragedy from happening, Cao Cao's temperament is capricious, and you and I don't know when my fate is!"
"However, when Meng Dedong conquered Tao Qian, he also instructed his family: 'If I don't pay it back, I will go to Meng Zhuo!' This is like yesterday, but now I have betrayed him, I really can't make up this decision!"
"Meng Zhuo's words are wrong, the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, he should make meritorious contributions and make a career for a while, and when Yuan Shao wanted to establish Liu Yu as the emperor with Han Fu, Brother Meng Zhuo was also strongly opposed, Yuan Shao therefore held a grudge against Brother Meng Zhuo, and even asked Cao Cao to kill Brother Meng Zhuo, although Cao Cao did not do this, but looking at the current harmony between the two, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will go wrong. β
Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, how could this Chen Gong feel his bottom so clearly, indeed this has always been his heart disease, pretending to be nothing on the surface, but in fact, he has not given up finding a way to get out of the body, Chen Gong is right, the husband can't do nothing, but he wants to die without regrets, thinking of this, he said word by word: "I don't have any worries, what is the best plan for the public platform?"
"Since the Yellow Turban, the strength of the imperial court has been greatly weakened, coupled with Dong Zhuo's chaotic government and the rest of the party's control of the government, which has exacerbated the social turmoil, and today it is falling apart, Brother Meng Zhuo is a thousand miles away, but he is controlled by others, and now Cao Cao is conquering the east, leaving only one army to defend, so Yanzhou is empty, it can be broken with a snap of a finger, Lu Bu's bravery, it is impossible to meet, why not Meng Zhuo and take Yanzhou together, even if it doesn't work, it can also be a while!"
Zhang Miao knew that Chen Gong had already arranged everything, and just waited for his own words, so he nodded heavily.
"Below is Liu Xu, a subordinate of Chen Liutaishou, who has an important military plane to see Cheng Sima on the orders of Taishou!"
The guard looked at this person suspiciously, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and report it, but Sima is very busy, I can't guarantee that he will definitely see you." With that, he turned and walked inside.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Li happened to walk out of the city, heard the conversation between the two, and walked over.
"Cheng Sima!" several guards immediately respected.
"You are Cheng Sima!" Liu Xu looked happy.
"I'm Cheng Li! I don't know who Your Excellency is, what do you do?" For people who are unfamiliar, Cheng Li still instinctively maintains a minimum of vigilance.
"Under Liu Xu, I came on the order of Chen Liutaishou, General Lu Bu-"
"Lu Bu?" Cheng Li said suddenly.
"Yes, General Lu Bu helped Gao Yi defeat the Xiongnu Yufu Luo and the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan in Bingzhou, not only did not get Gao Yi's reuse, but was feared, General Lu Bu had to leave Bingzhou to help General Cao attack Tao Qian, I came this time in the hope that Cheng Sima could allocate some grain and grass to General Lu Bu!" Liu Xu saw that Cheng Li didn't believe in himself very much, so he simply told his words and discussions, "If you don't believe it, I have Chen Liutaishou's handwritten letter here!"
"Yes, it is indeed Zhang Taishou's handwriting. In the conference hall, Guo Jia read the letter carefully and said affirmatively, "I have recently sorted out the correspondence between the counties of Yanzhou for the lord, and this handwriting is not something that can be forged by anyone. β
"It is said that Zhang Miao is the best friend of the lord, and he is a person who knows right and wrong, there is no reason to be with Lu Bu, but unfortunately the lord is not here, you can see ...... filial piety" Cheng Li fell into deep thought.
"Oh no......" both shouted at the same time.
"Zhang Miao has rebelled!" Guo Jia said loudly, and Cheng Yu nodded.
"How is it possible?" the rest of the crowd commented.
"I also hope that this is not true, pass the order, summon the Taishou Xiahoudun of Dongjun to come to Juancheng, and say that there is a change in Yanzhou, and invite him to discuss countermeasures, and let him choose the most reliable person to stay in Dongjun!"
"Yes!"
"There must be someone between Zhang Miao and Lu Bu, and it won't take long for this person to show his true colors. β
"Strategist, when are we going to do it?"
"Don't worry, if my expectations are right, Juancheng's order to summon Xiahoudun will come soon, and it is the best time for us to start as soon as he leaves, after all, we can lose some troops. Chen Gong looked like he was full of stars.
"Chen engaged, General Xiahou is invited. A soldier reported.
"General Xiahou, what's so important?" Chen Gong walked into the Taishou Mansion and saw Xiahou Dun holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Oh, Gongtai, it's good that you're here, cough...... Cough...... Zhongde wants me to go back to Juancheng quickly, but I don't know what happened, I have to run around dragging this sick body, no matter what, Meng De trusts you so much, I can also rest assured that you can temporarily take the post of Dongjun Taishou, how about it? No problem, right?"
"Gong Cai is shallow in learning, and I am afraid that I will have the high hopes of the general......"
"Oh, don't be verbose, we're all family!"
"Family?" Chen Gong was startled.
You, me, and Miaocai, Zhicai, Wenqian, Meng Zhuo, Zixiao, Zilian, and Zhongde, we and Meng De swept the world together to build an era without war and peace for everyone, didn't Brother Gongtai think so?"
Chen Gong was suddenly shocked, and just wanted to say something, but then thought that this was the best time to take Dongjun, although there was a little ...... But he couldn't care so much, so he blurted out: "The general can rest assured, with Chen Gong here, Dongjun will be safe, I just hope that the general will return as soon as possible!"
"That being the case, then I will lead the army, discuss with General Han Hao about anything, and meet again!" After that, Xiahoudun stepped on his war horse and galloped away.
A cold light flashed on Chen Gong's face: "General Xiahou, don't blame me!"
He looked to the east and bowed again: "Tao Fujun, Chen Gong has lived up to your high expectations!"
"Military division, General Lu Bu has led a large army to come, and he will arrive in Puyang soon!" the soldier told Chen Gong with a bulletin.
"Tell General Lu Bu that Xiahoudun has led more than 2,000 people to Juancheng, please stop him, although Cheng Yu is a resourceful man, but Juancheng has our internal response, but as long as you don't get the news, you will definitely not have any preparations!"
"Yes, don't worry!"
"General Xiahou, something is wrong!" The army marched into a dense forest, the moonlight was dim, the distance and near were hazy, the road under their feet was faintly recognizable, and the army seemed to have entered another world.
"Well, I also feel it, it's a strong murderous aura!" Xiahoudun held his breath and stared at the direction of the exit of the forest, "Everyone should be extra careful!"
He laughed alone, "This silence is really terrifying!"
Two thousand people marched cautiously, people and horses wrapped in cloths, extinguishing the torches in their hands, and the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound, for fear that a sudden rain of arrows would end their lives.
But nothing happened until they were out of the woods safely, and the only thing that rang in their ears was the occasional howl of wolves and crows, and the sound of the night wind blowing through the cracks in the leaves.
Xiahoudun looked up at the sky, the sky seemed to be more gloomy than just now, occasionally a few muffled thunders, it seemed that it was going to rain, he came back to look at the forest, the forest was still so silent, unusually silent, and there was the sound of the river rushing in his ears.
He knew that this was Jishui, and two days away was the Yellow River, and then there was Juancheng, which was the upper reaches of Jishui, and the river was very narrow but deep, if it weren't for a bridge here......
No, an ominous premonition came over him, and he had sensed the restlessness of the army, and turned his head sharplyβ
There is no bridge at all over the narrow but deep water!
A flash of lightning flashed, and Xiahoudun saw two teams appear on both sides of the army, one of the two generals was full of murderous faces, and the other was like ashes.
"Cough, cough" Xiahoudun was silent for a moment, "Crossing the river!"
Another explosion and thunder sounded, and the rain suddenly poured down.
More than 2,000 people jumped into the river at the same time, struggling to swim to the opposite bank, and the two enemy troops also slaughtered frantically in the back, the blood stained the water red, and the bodies of both sides kept falling into the river, but they were soon washed downstream by the turbulent river.
The survivors went ashore one after another, but they did not see the shadow of Xiahoudun.
"Look, General Xiahou is still on the other side, go back and save General Xiahou!"
"Stop! Don't you have such confidence in General Xiahou? Check how many dead and wounded in the army? I, Xiahoudun, want to make them repay double here!"
"General, three hundred and twenty-seven people were killed, two hundred and ninety-three were seriously wounded, and eight hundred and sixty-four were lightly wounded......," one soldier said.
"Pig brain!" only to hear another person beat him hard, and then said loudly to Xiahoudun on the other side: "General, we are all fine, one is not dead, the other is not injured, we just want you to be safe!"
"I've already heard it! You guys just stay there, whoever dares to come over, I'll kill them like an enemy!" Xia Houdun said in a deep voice after hearing this, and coldly avoided the surging enemy army.
All the troops were silent, quietly looking at Xiahoudun who was fighting in the enemy formation on the opposite side with tears in their eyes.
