Chapter 440: Cao Cao's Death
Now the two righteous brothers are dead and rebellious,
The territory originally occupied is also in danger,
He has to think about countermeasures for these time bombs around him.
If you can't let it be used for yourself,
Then let's shoot two and scatter, everyone should not fall behind,
After all, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes,
Liu Bei is now a complete gambler,
If there is a chance to turn the book, we must seize it.
"Lord, we are the ones who advance and retreat together."
Sima Fu spoke slowly,
Gazing at Liu Bei, he said.
Liu Bei nodded:
"I just like to talk to smart people, and I don't need to know a lot of things. What I need is power, and as long as you can satisfy me, I can give you what you want! β
Sima Fu bowed his head respectfully,
From this moment on, his evaluation of Liu Bei rose a lot again.
June day, baby-faced, said to change.
The sky was clear a few days ago,
Suddenly, without warning, it rained heavily.
And this time it rained extraordinarily hard,
The range is also extremely wide.
From Yanzhou in the north to Yuzhou in the south,
are all within the scope of this heavy rain,
Especially in Yuzhou, I don't know if God can't bear to see the tragedy of life.
Or is it something else?
The torrential rain rained for four or five days.
The roads are completely muddy,
It's hard to walk, let alone fight,
There have even been floods in many places.
This heavy rain extended Yuan Shu's life,
Let him rejoice and live up to it,
While instructing his subordinates to step up their war preparations,
But he didn't forget to continue to live a life of luxury and lasciviousness.
At the same time, the coalition side is particularly embarrassed,
In addition to Lu Bujun,
The armies of the rest of the princes,
I was still coming slowly outside Yuzhou before,
Now it's an excuse that heavy rain is blocking the road.
simply stationed in the local area,
So far, only LΓΌ Bu's army is still in Runan.
The war stopped, but Lu Bu didn't feel bored.
When he was merging the states, he made the Chinese chess that he used to like to play.
taught others to play chess with him,
At this moment in the tent,
is killing with Dong Ye with great interest,
Dong Ye was originally a beginner,
And I can't bear it,
was killed by Lu Bu to lose his armor.
Dong Ye was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks,
Lu Bu was proud,
Said embarrassedly:
"Oh, young man, you're making a mistake, look, look, a little bait makes you impulsive, not only failed to eat my horse, but also lost a car, tsk, this deal, it's a good deal......"
Dong Ye's eyes were red,
Listening to the fragmented thoughts in Lu Bu's mouth,
couldn't help clenching his fists,
looked up at the other party's palm, which was larger than himself,
Reluctantly, he let go of his fist again,
In the end, I could only pout helplessly,
It's just that his face has become darker,
There's no way, who lets himself play this chess game and can't play others,
Even a fight can't beat him,
It can only play the role of a gas pack.
Lu Bu is also ready to continue to tease Dong Ye,
This is the time of the time,
He found out,
The best way to pass the time of boredom.
At this time, the tent door was suddenly opened,
First of all, Dian Wei's big bald head appeared,
Then his burly body flashed in,
Seeing what Lu Bu and Dong Ye were doing,
and the look on the faces of both sides,
I couldn't help but smile honestly.
Dian Wei also just arrived here a few days ago,
But caught up with this heavy rain,
Luckily, he didn't learn chess even if he died.
escaped the fate of being ravaged by Lu Bu,
Every time I see the expressions of several other people who want to cry without tears,
He was very happy.
Lu Bu beckoned to Dian Wei,
That means let him come and kill two too,
Dian Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank back,
Almost exited the door again,
The head shook like the rattle.
Suddenly remembered the meaning,
Dian Wei opened his mouth and said:
"My lord! Something is wrong! β
Lu Bu's hand raised in mid-air and put it down,
Absentmindedly asked:
"With such a heavy rain, what big thing can happen, could it be that the heavy rain has collapsed Shouchun City? Hey, hey, hey......"
Dian Wei wiped the rain from his face,
Hurriedly spoke:
"Cao Cao is dead!"
Lu Bu suddenly stiffened in place,
It took a while to come back to my senses,
Turning his head slowly, he asked with a somewhat dazed expression:
"What did you say?"
Dian Wei took two steps forward,
He took out a letter wrapped in brown paper from his bosom,
handed it to Lu Bu and said:
"Five days ago, Cao Cao was suddenly assassinated, has died, in addition to him, many Wenchen generals in Yanzhou have been assassinated one after another, Yanzhou suffered heavy losses, almost close to paralysis, now only Xiahou brother Xu Chu and others escorted Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, because of the front line in Xuzhou, but did not suffer an attack, but they also withdrew from Xuzhou, the whole line contracted back to Chenliu County ......"
Lu Bu hurriedly opened the secret letter,
This secret letter is very long,
What is written above is roughly the same as what Dian Wei describes,
It's just that before Cao Cao was assassinated,
Chen Qi and his son in Xiapi City took the lead in rebelling,
announced that he was going to defect to the imperial court,
At the same time, it also listed several crimes that Liu Bei was rebellious,
called on the Xuzhou scholars to overthrow Liu Bei,
For a while, Liu Bei's only few remaining territories,
Immediately fell into the storm,
In this time of crisis,
Liu Bei never made any counterattack,
Until the news of Cao Cao's sudden death came.
The rebellious warriors in Xuzhou were immediately devastated,
Liu Bei was able to logically clean the entire Xuzhou,
Strangle all the nobles and forces that do not submit to him.
Then Liu Beijun took advantage of Cao Cao's death to counterattack,
Guan Yu originally helped Cao Cao resist Yuan Shao's attack,
After learning this news, he returned to Yanzhou,
returned to Liu Bei's camp,
But two days later,
Inexplicably slaughtered himself in the house,
Not a word was left.
After Yuan Shaojun got a respite,
Gao Gan led the remnants of the army to quickly go south to take advantage of the fire to rob,
Occupy a lot of territory in one fell swoop,
and Liu Bei almost divided all the territory of Yanzhou except Yingchuan and Chenliu County.
This time, however, it was not either of them that benefited the most.
Instead, it was Yuan Shu who was at a loss,
After Cao Cao's death,
There was a power vacuum in Yanzhou suddenly,
But Sima Fang, Sima Yi's father and son took advantage of the situation,
With the power of the family, he occupied Xu County and the entire Yingchuan County,
Then Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict,
recruited Yuan Shu, and worshiped Yuan Shu as a general,
Crowned Generalissimo of the Protectorate,
Yuan Shu immediately rebelled from arrogating to the emperor,
transformed into a loyal sage who endured humiliation and was dedicated to the Han,
Let the people of the world be directly dumbfounded.
And yet all this happens,
But in just a few days,
It seems that the two sides have already agreed,
Therefore, the development of things is electrically sparkling,
To all who are concerned,
all feel dizzy,
Originally, Lu Bu was very concerned about the collection of this information.
Since the dark group has Liu Jun joined,
Efficiency and ability have improved by leaps and bounds.
But due to the sudden heavy rain reward during this time,
so that a lot of messages can not be delivered in time,
Therefore, Lu Bu only learned of these news now.
Lu Bu put down the brocade silk heavily,
His eyes looked at the chessboard a little distractedly,
The whole person fell into a state of lost soul,
Ever since he came into this world,
I found that many things deviated from the original course either actively or passively.
Although he did not want to admit it,
But he had to accept the fact that he was responsible for all this.
Originally, he always thought that
His enemy should be Cao Cao,
This is also what he longs for the most,
Therefore, he did not hesitate to sacrifice many of his own interests,
so that Cao Cao can develop and grow as soon as possible,
However, things were clearly out of his control,
even completely out of his expectations,
Cao Cao turned out to be dead,
And died from this inexplicable assassination,
He still couldn't believe it.
Lu Bu suddenly regretted it,
He remembered that the blood phoenix had specifically reminded him,
Liu Bei has now started cooperation with the Wa State,
And some ninjas were sent over there,
He should have thought about the possibility he was now along.
It's just that he naively believed in the so-called covenant,
The so-called unworldly people,
not to intervene directly in the conventions of secular affairs,
Maybe there really is such an agreement,
But, but he who came from the Hereafter,
For a typical villain country like the Wa Kingdom,
How can you be so careless,
How have they ever done such perfidy things?
How could it be possible to honestly abide by such a ridiculous agreement,
The root of everything lies in oneself,
lies in their own blind self-confidence,
It is in one's own assumption that with one's own knowledge,
The experiences and memories that I brought with me from the afterlife,
To be able to play through this era,
Able to control this era,
Hehe, Dot's ridiculous.
Lu Bu's fists were clenched together,
The eyes gradually began to become bloodshot,
A violent aura swelled from his body,
Dian Wei and Dong Ye beside him involuntarily took a few steps back,
Looking at Lu Bu's eyes full of horror,
Their strength has reached a certain level,
Especially Dian Wei, after Lu Bu gave him the halberd method,
The strength has been greatly improved,
Now I have faintly felt the way to break through the barrier of mortal martial arts,
As a result, they are able to feel more really,
Lu Bu at this moment,
How terrible it is.
Just when Lu Bu was faintly on the verge of losing control,
Suddenly a family spell sounded outside the door,
"Amitayus!"
With the sudden appearance of these four words,
The violent aura around Lu Bu,
Suddenly it froze, and then it dissipated in an instant,
Lu Bu's eyes also regained their clarity,
He exhaled two heavy breaths,
I can't help but be a little afraid of Fang Cai's scene,
But it feels strange,
He has obviously broken through the demons in his heart,
How could such a situation suddenly occur,
Although it's a little different from the demons in my heart,
But it's very similar.
Lu Bu looked at the tent door,
Two people opened the door and came in.
Zuo Ci and Zhang Xiao respectively,
It was Zuo Ci who said the four-character mantra of immeasurable longevity,
He twisted his beard lightly,
looked at Lu Bu with a somewhat heavy gaze,
Zhang Xiao behind him was even more ashamed of his face,
Lu Bu's heart moved,
immediately understood the reason for Zhang Xiao's strange look,
He must have received the news of Cao Cao's death or an omen before,
But he didn't tell Lu Bu,
Cao Cao was not even rescued.
Dian Wei knew the two of them,
Seeing them appear,
He hurriedly dragged Dong Ye out of the big tent.
When Lu Bu saw the two of them come in,
did not get up to greet him,
The expression is not as warm as before,
Come to think of it, Cao Cao's death,
made Lu Bu very dissatisfied with them.
"Feng Xian ......"
Zuo Ci put down his hand to rub his beard,
Speak softly,
The words were immediately interrupted by Lu Bu.
"Why didn't you let me know beforehand?"
Zhang Xiao opened his mouth,
But in the end he didn't speak,
just slowly lowered his head,
Sighing helplessly.
It was Zuo Ci who opened his mouth to explain:
"Fengxian, don't blame Zhang Qiang, in fact, this matter, we are also miscalculated, Zhang Gang is not too much of a problem in calculating the fate of ordinary people, but if it involves people like us, the accuracy and difficulty will be greatly reduced, Zhang Gang just calculated that the people around you will be in danger, but, who would have expected that it would be Cao Cao, several of us were near Bingzhou at the time, it was really beyond the reach of the whip......"
After hearing Zuo Ci's explanation,
Lu Bu obviously lost a lot of anger,
He actually knows,
The other party has no obligation to inform himself of this kind of thing.
What's more, there are people of the same level as them on the other side,
Although this kind of thing is projected in the future,
He doesn't know very well,
But it's also clear that
It's definitely not going to be an easy thing to do.
Lu Bu waved his hand lightly and said:
"Two, I can't blame you for this matter, it's Lu Moufang who is a little out of shape."
Zuo Ci and Zhang Xiao sat down at this time.
Lu Bu put away the secret letter,
Looking at Zuo Ci, he asked:
"Isn't it the hand of some ninja?"
Zuo Ci was slightly stunned when he heard this,
He didn't know what Blood Phoenix had seen with Lu Bu before,
Naturally, I didn't know that Lu Bu knew about ninjas,
But he didn't dwell on this kind of problem.
nodded solemnly and said:
"It is the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom, they are important pawns in the hands of the evil gods, and the masters among them are enough to compete with us."
Zhang Xiao also opened his mouth and added:
"And the biggest difference between these ninjas and us is that they are a unified organization, so they are indeed much stronger than our hidden masters in the Central Plains in terms of collective combat."
Lu Bu nodded,
The look on his face became darker and darker,
Whispered:
"That is, they have broken your covenant?"
Zuo Ci let out a long breath and said:
"Yes, that's right, they're blatantly meddling in secular warfare by doing so, so we're here as fast as we can, hoping to help you."
"You're saying they're going to do it again?"
Lu Bu's pupils suddenly shrank,
looked at Zuo Ci and the others opposite,
It's not that he's worried about any danger on his side.
What he feared,
But it is Diao Chan and others who are far away in the state,
They're just ordinary people.
It was impossible to escape an assassination of this level.
