Chapter 169: Shocking You All
Sure enough, it was Diao Chan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, the potter had already calculated eight or nine points, just to scare her, the potter still had a little pity for the jade, how could he bear to throw her to those tiger and wolf soldiers to ravage such a stunning woman.
Taking a step back, even if he really wanted to do anything to her, the potter would keep it to himself.
Diao Chan didn't know the potter's methods, so he was so frightened in a few words, he naturally reported his identity, and threatened with his life.
"Diao Chan, you really deserve to be one of the four beauties, so beautiful that it is incredible, no wonder it will tempt Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to be jealous for you and kill each other......"
Looking at the Diao Chan in front of him, the potter was full of thoughts and secretly sighed.
With a cold smile, the potter withdrew his sword, and his cold gaze swept around Diao Chan's body wantonly.
Although she pretended to be strong, the fear in her heart was all written on her face, and the hands holding the dagger were trembling, as if she couldn't even hold the dagger steadily.
"Come on, send this Mrs. Diao Chan back to Xiaopei for me, eat and drink." The potter waved his hand and ordered, and turned away.
The curtain was lowered, and Diao Chan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the potter had no misdeeds, but he put the dagger in his sleeve, but a layer of cold sweat was already soaked on his back.
The potter only sneered, raised his horsewhip, and led everyone to look in the direction of Xiaopei.
Several soldiers came forward and escorted the cart and horses to turn around, the wheels creaking and turning, and followed behind the potter, in the direction of Xiaopei.
Diao Chan, who was in a calm mood, boldly lifted the corner of the car curtain, and through a line of gaps, apricot eyes glanced ahead, looking at the young figure of the potter like a green pine, getting farther and farther away from her.
"This person is the sworn enemy of the husband, Liu Xuande said that he is cruel and treacherous, I fell into his hands, I really don't know what he will do with me, alas......" Diao Chan sighed faintly, and between his face, a trace of sorrow quietly swept up.
"Lord, it turns out that this slut is Lu Bu's woman, I see that she is fierce and tight, and threatens to commit suicide, doesn't the lord want to find a way to snatch her dagger down, I'm afraid she really won't be able to think about it." Yingbu, who was following behind, reminded.
"She would never kill herself, she didn't have the courage." The potter sneered confidently.
If she was really a chaste martyr, she should have chosen to commit suicide a long time ago, and she would not have waited until she saw the potter to take out a dagger to threaten.
In the potter's view, her actions were just a helpless weak woman's knee-jerk reaction when life and death were unpredictable, and it did not come from her own heart.
The potter believes that there are definitely women in this world who dare to die to protect their innocence, but Diao Chan is definitely not one of them.
"My lord, what shall we do now?"
"Pack up the army and go back to Xiaopei, sit and wait for Cao Cao's army to come, let's wait for work and have a good fight with him."
The young figure, beating the horse and whipping, returned to Xiaopei.
That city, that gateway to Xuzhou, has raised the banner of "Tao" high.
β¦β¦
Thirty miles west of Xiaopei.
Under the big tree, Liu Beixia sat on a big rock, boredly stirring the wooden stick and picking up the fire in front of him.
The firelight illuminated his pale face, and the lingering palpitations could still be seen.
By his side, only Zhang Fei and his generals remained, and there were less than 200 remnants of the defeated soldiers, all of whom were injured, and everyone was panicked.
This was the second time he had been killed by the same enemy, the potter, to such an embarrassing state.
In fact, after bypassing Xiao Pei, the pottery merchant did not chase him at all, but Liu Bei was like a lost dog, terrified and depressed, and ran all the way for more than 30 miles before he dared to stop and take a breath.
"Potter, potter......"
Liu Bei silently read the name that humiliated him again, his gray face, the green tendons twitched, and the flames of shame and hatred were reflected in the deep sunken eyes.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.
Liu Bei was like a frightened bird, the fire of hatred on his face was instantly frightened, thinking that it was the pottery merchant's pursuers who had killed, and without saying a word, he was about to turn over and get on the horse.
Zhang Fei and the other remnants of the defeated generals on the left and right were also panicked, and they jumped up one after another, not caring about the pain and exhaustion, they wanted to follow Liu Bei and continue to escape.
"Big brother, it's me."
A familiar voice came from the night, and the figures of Guan Yu and Zhang Liao entered the field of vision one after another, and the remnants of the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
Liu Bei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that it was Guan Yu who returned safely, he was surprised and delighted, but he realized that he was too out of shape, and he was suspected of being frightened by the pottery merchant, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Yun Chang, why don't you listen to your brother's advice and have to kill back to Xiaopei's dangerous land?" Liu Bei greeted Guan Yu with both relief and reproach.
Guan Yu was ashamed, and naturally he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only say that he was going back to save Zhang Liao.
Liu Bei knew Guan Yu best, but looking at his gloomy eyes, and then seeing that there was only Zhang Liao around him, but there was no Diao Chan, he knew that his righteous brother went back to save Diao Chan, but he didn't save him.
"Wen Yuan didn't even go out of the city, if Bei Ruo knew about it, he would have rescued him personally, but fortunately, Yun Chang rescued Wen Yuan for his brother." Liu Bei immediately changed his tone.
"Thank you Uncle Liu Huang for not giving up, Liao is grateful." Zhang Liao thanked him for a long time, but sighed again: "It's a pity that Liao is incompetent and failed to rescue the second lady, so I am ashamed of Wen Hou." β
Hearing Zhang Liao say this, Liu Bei further confirmed his speculation about Guan Yu's low mood.
With a slight roll of his eyes, Liu Bei patted Zhang Liao's shoulder and comforted: "Wenyuan, you have done your best, there is no need to blame yourself, I Liu Bei swears that as long as I have the opportunity, even if I fight for this life, I will definitely save my sister-in-law." β
"Uncle Huang......"
Zhang Liao looked at Zhang's sincere and solemn face, moved by tears, and bowed deeply to Liu Bei, "Uncle Huang's grace, Liao is unforgettable, please accept Liao's worship." β
"Wen Yuan is polite, we are like brothers, we should advance and retreat together, you are polite when you say so." Liu Bei hurriedly helped Zhang Liao up, and said a lot of brothers and righteousness.
Zhang Liao was moved, he was grateful and admired Liu Bei, if it wasn't for Lu Bu still alive, he was afraid that he would be transferred to Liu Bei's command on the spot.
After comforting Zhang Liao, Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time, leading less than two hundred remnants of the army, and hurriedly continued to flee westward.
β¦β¦
Fifty miles west of Xiaopei.
The battle flag covers the sky, the soldiers are numerous, and the infantry army of nearly 40,000 is marching eastward along the eastward road.
Cao Cao, who was dressed in a red robe, rode a horse and galloped ahead, revealing a trace of urgent killing intent in his deep eyes.
Just a day ago, he had just received a good news from Liu Bei, claiming that he had captured Liuxian without much effort.
Receiving this good news, Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed, and it was even more unexpected for him.
The army of potters was really attracted to the front line of Xiao County, and they did not realize that he had changed their tactics, and ordered Liu Bei to suddenly go south and attack Liuxian.
Now that the county has been obtained, the gate to Pengcheng will be opened, and as soon as his army arrives, he can drive south unimpeded, and directly kill Pengcheng City.
The blueprint of conquering Pengcheng, entering the hinterland of Xuzhou, exterminating the pottery merchants, and pacifying the East seems to be not far from him.
While running, Cao Cao thought of this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a subtle sneer.
"Newspaperβ"
A cavalry scout galloped over, interrupting Cao Cao's thoughts, "Yu Sikong, the east is urgent, the pottery merchant led tens of thousands of troops to suddenly stay in the county, Liu Xuande was outnumbered, abandoned the city and retreated, the pottery merchant captured the county, pursued all the way, and captured Xiaopei in one fell swoop the day before yesterday." β
Thundered!
A thunderbolt from the clear sky, crashing down, instantly shattered the blueprint that was brewing in Cao Cao's heart.
This astonishing news shocked Cao Cao is shock, and he almost failed to sit firmly on the horse, and was anxious to restrain the war horse.
The main force of the potters was obviously attracted to the area of Xiao County, how could they suddenly kill Liuxian, not only to recapture Liuxian, but also to take Xiaopei?
Not only Cao Cao was shocked, but also Cheng Yu, Cao Ren and other civil and military forces were all shocked and confused.
Could it be that the pottery merchant's soldiers and horses all grew wings, how could they fly from Xiao County to Liuxian County in one night?
In everyone's minds, such a big question flashed?
"Could it be that after the pottery merchant learned that Liuxian had fallen, he sent troops north in the starry night and killed Liu Bei by surprise?"
Cao Ren first speculated, but then said: "This is not right, even if the pottery merchant draws troops to the north, it should be later than us, how can it be possible to kill Benliu County before us, and even capture Xiaopei in one go, this doesn't make sense." β
Cao Ren couldn't figure it out, Cao Cao couldn't figure it out either, and the lords and ministers of Cao Ying were confused for a while.
Cheng Yu, who was also confused, suddenly realized first, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and sighed: "It seems that there is only one reason, that is, the pottery merchant has already made a plan to attack Xiao Pei, but I am afraid that before we make a move, he has already drawn troops from the front line of Xiao County, and Liu Bei happened to hit his gun, so he was caught off guard by him, and he was able to seize it before us, and even Xiao Pei was captured together." β
Cheng Yu finally revealed the truth.
The people in Cao Ying fell silent for a while, their eyes glared at Dou Da, and they were dumbfounded, revealing a deep shock in their hearts.
Then, there was an uproar.
Cao Cao also suddenly realized, his face was gloomy as iron, silent, only secretly clenched the horsewhip tighter and tighter, and on his scorched face, shock and anger were intertwined.
"There must be a master under this person's command to plan for him, otherwise it is impossible for him to calculate every step of our way so accurately." is as resourceful as Cheng Yu, and his tone also reveals deep jealousy.
"Sikong, Xiao Pei is the gateway to Xuzhou, and it is the gateway of Xuzhou to the Central Plains, and now it has been stolen by pottery thieves, and the situation seems to be a little unfavorable for us." Cao Ren also said silently.
Silence, Cao Cao is always silent, but in his sunken eyes, there is a complicated look.
Thinking that he was a big man, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the strength was not only several times stronger than the pottery merchants, and this time he waved his army eastward, originally with the confidence that he would win, and came to sweep the pottery merchants.
Who would have thought that after so many days of fighting, he lost again and again, not only did he not even set foot on an inch of land in Xuzhou, but he was also attacked by the potters and captured his Xiaopei.
Humiliation, the second largest prince in the world, Cao Mengde, who is full of tricks, is simply humiliated by the potter.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly condensed, his murderous aura suddenly appeared, his horsewhip clenched, pointed fiercely to the east, and shouted angrily: "The whole army will speed up the march for Lone, and Lone will gather that thief to annihilate in Xiaopei." β
