Chapter 229: The Battle of Xuzhou (1)

After Luo Cheng and Li Jing returned to Chang'an, the two of them immediately entered the palace and asked to see Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai saw that Luo Cheng and Li Jing had come back so soon, he immediately asked out loud: "Shixin, pharmacist, has the Yellow Turban Thief already fled?" ”

At this time, Luo Cheng replied: "Lord, the Yellow Turban Thief is no longer afraid, and there will be something important to report in the end." ”

Seeing Luo Cheng say this, Wang Kai immediately withdrew the guards around him and asked loudly, "Shixin, what's the matter with you?" ”

After hearing this, Luo Cheng immediately motioned to Li Jing to hand over the jade seal.

Li Jing then took out the heirloom jade seal from his arms and presented it.

When Wang Kai saw Li Jing stepping forward with a package in both hands, he asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Li Jing followed and replied: "The lord will know when you open it!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Kai immediately replied: "Shixin, pharmacist, I want to see what the hell you plan to do." ”

With that, Wang Kai opened the package.

When Wang Kai saw a boxy jade bib, he immediately thought to himself: 'I'm Nima, can this be said to be the legendary heirloom jade seal?' I didn't expect to have such a harvest with a little yellow scarf. ’

While thinking, Wang Kai carefully observed the jade seal of the country.

After reading it, Wang Kai was also alert, because Sun Jian in history was killed after he possessed the jade seal of the country, and he didn't want to attract the siege of the princes because of the jade seal.

Immediately after, Wang Kai asked Luo Cheng and Li Jing, "Shixin, pharmacist, did anyone else see this thing when you found it?" ”

After hearing this, Li Jing immediately replied: "Lord, this thing was discovered by the old soldiers under my command, in addition to me and General Luo, there are ten soldiers who have seen it. ”

"That being the case, pharmacist, give me the names of these ten men, and I will transfer them to the palace so that they will not leak the news."

"The last general obeys!"

"Shixin, pharmacist, this matter of passing on the jade seal of the country is very important, you must not let others know about it, understand?"

After hearing this, Luo Cheng and Li Jing immediately agreed.

Immediately, Wang Kai asked Luo Cheng and Li Jing to go down first.

When only Wang Kai was left in the hall, Wang Kai looked at the heirloom jade seal and pondered, because this heirloom jade seal is a hot potato, and if you don't have the strength to hold it, it will only cause disaster, just like Sun Jian in history, but Wang Kai thought about it and didn't want to hand over the heirloom jade seal, because it would be difficult for him to take it back after handing it over.

The hesitant Wang Kai finally hid the heirloom jade seal, and he planned to take it out and use it when the time was ripe.

At this time, Cao Cao on the front line of Xuzhou also received the news of the accident in Luoyang City.

Immediately, Cao Cao immediately convened a group of ministers to discuss the matter.

When everyone arrived, Cao Cao immediately told everyone about the changes that had happened in Luoyang.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xun You immediately said: "Lord, it seems that Wang Zhenxi has not given up the Heluo region when he sends troops to Luoyang. ”

Cao Cao was also deeply concerned after hearing this.

At this time, Cheng Yu also spoke: "Lord, now that Liu Bei and Lu Bu are already suspicious, we can divide our troops into Luoyang to seize Luoyang." ”

Cao Cao pondered and replied: "No, although Liu Bei and Lu Bu are separated from Xiapi and Pengcheng, they are hundred-legged insects that die but do not stiffen, if I leave now, I am afraid that Liu Bei and Lu Bu will join forces again, and it will be difficult to conquer Xuzhou at that time." ”

Cheng Yu immediately agreed after hearing this, because Liu Bei and Lu Bu were originally united, and their separation now is also because of Cao Cao's discordant plan, if Cao Cao leaves, it may really lead to another reversal of the situation in Xuzhou.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan asked for his life: "Lord, since you can't move lightly, the last general is willing to lead 5,000 soldiers to kill and garrison Luoyang, and then fight with Wang Kai after the lord takes Xuzhou." ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly thought to himself: "Liu Bei and Lu Bu need me to be in charge of it, and the situation in Heluo is not particularly critical now, so it is feasible to let Miaocai go, as long as Luoyang is suppressed, it will be difficult for Wang Kai's army to conquer Heluo." ’

After thinking of this, Cao Cao said to Xiahou Yuan: "Xiahou Yuan listens to orders!" ”

"The last general!"

"You lead 10,000 troops to Luoyang to defend the town, and if you are in danger, you can seek support from Cao Ren of the Tiger Prison Pass."

"The last general obeys!"

After receiving the order, Xiahou Yuan immediately led his troops to leave the Xuzhou front.

After Xiahou Yuan left, Cao Cao immediately focused his attention on Liu Bei, who conquered Pengcheng.

Besides, when Liu Bei in Pengcheng saw Cao Cao attacking the city again, he immediately took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to continuously resist the attack of Cao's army.

After Liu Beijun once again repelled Cao's attack, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, then Cao Cao has been attacking the city for several months, and the food in Pengcheng is about to run out, so why don't we abandon the city and flee!" ”

"No, Tao Envoy Jun entrusted Xuzhou to me before his death, if I leave Pengcheng, I will be dishonest."

"Big brother, now we can't protect ourselves, and we still care about what we do."

"Second brother Hugh has to say again, I swear to defend Pengcheng to the death, if Cao Cao is allowed to attack the city, the people of Pengcheng will be poisoned by Cao Cao."

"Big brother, if you insist on defending the city, do we seek reinforcements?"

"Second brother, do you want the eldest brother to go to Lu Bu?"

"Third brother, now is the time of our life and death, if we don't seek reinforcements, then we can only wait for death."

Liu Bei thought for a while and finally said, "Second brother, then it's up to you to rush to Xiapi to ask Lu Bu for help!" ”

With a promise, Guan Yu prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei immediately said very unhappily: "Big brother, second brother, Lu Bu is capricious, will he really send troops to rescue?" ”

"Third brother, with Chen Gongtai by Lu Fengxian's side, I believe that Lu Fengxian will send troops to help."

Zhang Fei was very helpless after hearing this.

Besides, after Guan Yu received the order, he immediately went out of the city alone and began to break through from the east gate.

The soldiers of the Cao army who were surrounded outside Pengcheng saw Guan Yu leaving the city, and the soldiers of Cao immediately rushed towards Guan Yu and killed him.

Seeing this, Guan Yu entered the crowd without fear and began to break through.

When the soldiers of the Cao army saw Guan Yu in the crowd as if they were in a no-man's land, these soldiers suddenly had a timid thought.

Seeing that Guan Yu was unstoppable, Xiahoudun, the main general of the East Gate, immediately prepared to order to be shot with a bow and arrow.

At this time, after Cao Cao learned that Guan Yu had broken through, he immediately ordered Xiahoudun not to release arrows.

Xiahoudun, who received Cao Cao's military order, finally watched Guan Yu break through.

Immediately, Xiahoudun immediately came to Cao Cao's military camp and asked, "Lord, why don't you let me shoot Guan Yu?" ”

"Yuan Rang, Guan Yu's breakthrough is exactly what I want."

When he heard this, Xiahoudun immediately stopped asking, because since Cao Cao said this, it means that Cao Cao already has a number in his heart.

Immediately after, Xiahoudun suddenly said goodbye to Cao Cao.

After Xiahoudun left, Cao Cao suddenly thought to himself: 'Liu Xuande! Liu Xuande, you finally can't help but ask Lu Bu for help? That's right, when Lu Bu kills, I just want to destroy you and take Xuzhou in one fell swoop. ’
