Chapter 82: Peng Tuo's Life and Death
When Guan Yu and Cheng Li led 3,000 cavalry to Luobei, the Han army on the southern front had already moved towards Runan and Chen Guo, pursuing his fleeing Bocai troops.
The cavalry commander of the southern front battlefield, Cao Cao, who was the cavalry captain at the time, and Peng Tuo, the young general of the Yellow Turban, finally captured Peng Tuo, who intended to fight to the end, in Yingchuan.
In the past few days, the remnants of the Yellow Turban led by Peng Tuo have fought for more than 400 miles, and under the protection of the Han army of the cavalry captain, they have intercepted the grain road several times, and they have been regarded as a big trouble by the Han army on the southern front. At this point, there were no worries on the battlefield on the southern front.
"Mengde, why don't you kill this fang?"
The cavalry marched in the lofty mountains, and Xiahou Yuan, who was the acting military marquis at the time, asked Cao Cao: "Although there is a little less reward, it is enough to calm the hearts of the army!" ”
"Oh?" Cao Cao sat upright and waved his horsewhip and smiled at Xiahou Yuan: "This Peng Tuo and He Man two thieves are captured by Miaocai, and the power of life and death is free in the hands of Miaocai...... However, my brother's suggestion is to escort him to Luoyang, in exchange for some reward money and talents to subsidize the family, how about it? ”
The court paid more money for the capture than the head, and Cao Cao knew very well the poverty of his brother-in-law, so he did not propose to kill the two.
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he was very grateful to Cao Cao, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you, brother." ”
"Miaocai doesn't have to be like this, the brothers of this family have made many gains in this battle, Miaocai and Yuan Rang are especially brave and difficult, and when they see the general, they will report their achievements, and then they will stay in the army."
"No."
Xiahou Yuan's family was poor, and it was his eternal pain to sell his parents and children in order to support his brother's orphans, although he later bought the child back after some twists and turns, but he was afraid that the pain of being sold when he was young would follow the child for the rest of his life. This Yellow Turban Uprising changed his life, as long as he fought bravely, he could live!
In the middle of the day, the cavalry and the main force of the southern front turned, and heard that Cao Cao, the cavalry commander, had captured Peng Tuo and He Man, Huangfu Song stroked his palms and chuckled, and asked Cao Cao to enter the account.
The biggest general on the battlefield on the southern front was Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, but after being attacked and defeated by the Bocai army, Huangfu Song led his troops to burn Changshe, and his reputation in the army was incomparable, and the weight of Huangfu Song's words gradually exceeded Zhu Jun.
As soon as he entered the account, Cao Cao bowed down to the two generals at the head of the court, and knelt beside Guo Dian on the right after seeing the salute.
"Gentlemen, here is the young talent that the old man often talks about, the riding captain of Luoyang with a five-color stick, Cao Cao!"
The introduction to Cao Cao was Zhu Jun, who had served as a counselor in the court, and Cao Mengde was a counselor, and he was very clear about Cao Cao's talents, and Cao Cao was tall and qualified to sit at the bottom.
Huangfu Song said with a smile: "I have heard that Cao Mengde is honest and honest, and he is civil and martial. Mengde, I heard that you captured the two thieves who attacked the baggage? ”
Cao Cao got up and said, "Yes, the two thieves Peng Tuo and He Man are outside the tent, and Zhonglang will summon them in?" ”
Zhu Jun waved his hand and said: "That thief can be regarded as capable of dealing with Meng De for more than a month, there is no need to humiliate his face anymore, Meng De sent someone to escort Luoyang for trial." ”
"Pengtuo?" Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes, he felt very familiar when he heard this name, and suddenly Huangfu Song thought of something, and said to Cao Cao with wide eyes: "What did Meng De just say about the name of the Yellow Turban thief?" ”
"Hui Zhonglang General, Peng Tuo, He Man." Cao Cao got up and arched his hand, he saw a trace of surprise in Huangfu Song's eyes, and asked, "Huangfu Zhonglang, is there anything wrong?" ”
Huangfu Song whispered in Zhu Jun's ear, and Zhu Jun beckoned to Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, order someone to bring that Peng Tuo up, Huangfu Zhonglang has something to hear." ”
Cao Cao passed on his order, and not long after, Peng Tuo was tied up and taken to the center of the big tent.
At just a glance, Huangfu Song recognized that kneeling in the center and being escorted by the soldiers was the military candidate under the command of Ma Yue, who had made meritorious service in the north the year before last, and the later captain of Hanyang County, Peng Tuo.
"Peng Tuo, do you recognize the old man?"
Peng Tuo looked around left and right when he came in, but he didn't recognize the previous emperor Fu Song at that time, at this time Peng Tuo was no longer high-spirited, and he no longer looked back, and Peng Tuo, who was in the year of his establishment, had already expected his final ending, and heard that the Dafang Qu Shuai who communicated with Jing Yang was sentenced to death by car splitting, and he estimated that he would end up abandoning the city, no big deal.
The moment he walked out of Luoyang Liang Mansion, he had already thought that it would be this end.
Suddenly hearing the Han general drink his name, Peng took off subconsciously raised his head and looked directly at Huangfu Song's face, he suddenly remembered that a few years ago, Liangzhou Beidi County.
Following Ma Yue to fight against Xianbei, although the honor at that time had disappeared as early as when he joined the Yellow Turban, it was the most glorious moment of Peng Tuo's life.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but the emperor is still okay?"
Huangfu Song saw that Peng Tuo recognized him, but he didn't smile, and asked with a cold face, "Who are you?" ”
"Yellow Turban Chief...... Pengtuo. ”
Huangfu Song's eyes of hatred of iron and steel made Peng Tuo a little sad, when the flower-covered Luoyang Imperial Road and the muddy country road appeared in front of him, the choice was always regrettable.
But he never regretted it.
Huangfu Song sneered and scolded: "Peng Tuo! Why don't you do it if you put the county lieutenant and don't do it? But Ma Yue instructed you to blend in with the yellow scarf? ”
Huangfu Song didn't know why Peng Tuo appeared in the Yellow Turban camp, but he felt that maybe he should save Peng Tuo, so he planned to spare Peng Tuo's life. Huangfu Song said in his heart: If you Peng Tuo is a person with eyes, you will admit that Ma Yue sent you to infiltrate the yellow scarf to steal information, and you can be exempted from the crime of unrighteousness.
How do you know that Peng took off his neck and said: "How can you not repay the grace of saving people's lives, a certain was originally a servant of Ma Yue, and he was expelled from the Ma family for stealing the master's property, and it has nothing to do with Ma Yue." If General Huangfu sees Ma Yue in the future, please bring it to tell him that Peng Tuo is sorry for him. ”
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said, "Peng Tuo, you are the way to die, Ma Yue knows that you have joined the Yellow Turban Thief?" ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Huangfu Song put the ring knife on his lap from his side, and put his palm on the hilt.
Peng Tuo glared angrily, and was about to stand up with his neck stalked, but was kicked down by the guard behind him. Then the guard kicked him on the back of Peng's neck, making his face touch the ground.
Even so, Peng Tuo still said: "After Ma Jun expelled me from the house, I met a great sage and good teacher to join the Yellow Turban, and it has nothing to do with Ma Jun. Ma Jun still doesn't know what Peng Tuo is doing! ”
Hearing Peng Tuo say this, Cao Cao nodded to Huangfu Song without a trace, and Huangfu Song removed his palm from the hilt of the knife and ordered: "Ride the capital Cao Cao to listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
Huangfu Song waved his hand and said: "Order you to take Peng Tuo and his captives into your ministry to take good care, and escort them from Yanzhou to Luoyang through Dongjun." ”
"The last general commands!"
Dongjun is the place where Ma Yue's department is stationed, as for how to do it, it is a matter of Cao Cao and Ma Yue, and it has nothing to do with his Huangfu Song.
