Chapter 882: Caught in a Net (I)

The book is picked up again.

Cao Cao took Luoyang City and immediately returned to his army.

When Xiahou Yuan saw that Cao Cao was back, he immediately greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hussar General is willing to let me go in?" ”

When he asked this, Xiahou Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

He knew that Li Zhi was very likely to reject Cao Cao, because if it was Xiahou Yuan, he would not agree, this was simply a joke with his own life!

If Cao Cao really had bad intentions, then after he entered Luoyang City, he could immediately lead people to attack the inner city!

"Hehe......" After Cao Cao heard Xiahou Yuan's words, he smiled with relief on his face and said: "Brother Xingzhi is not an ordinary person, ordinary people really won't agree, but Brother Xingzhi agreed without hesitation!" ”

"Really?!" Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan asked with a shocked face, he really didn't believe it.

Li Zhi's actions are equivalent to putting the lives of his family into Cao Cao's hands.

This kind of courage, this determination, this kind of trust, is truly astonishing.

"Alas......" Cao Cao's face was full of disbelief when he saw Xiahou Yuan, and after sighing, he said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect that Brother Xingzhi would be so happy."

But I and others underestimated the virtuous brother of Xingzhi, and the virtuous brother of Xingzhi did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed after hearing the words of the brother. ”

"......" After Xiahou Yuan listened to Cao Cao's words, he was silent for the rest of his time, not knowing what to say.

If it were Li Zhi instead, he would agree even in the end, but he would still hesitate.

However, when Xiahou Yuan thought of this, he was suddenly stunned.

Because he suddenly understands now that his trust in Cao Cao is not as good as that of Li Zhi, an outsider!

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan felt very guilty and guilty in his heart.

"Okay, you don't have to think about it, let's go and get ready." How smart Cao Cao was, he could see the self-blame and guilt in Xiahou Yuan's heart at a glance, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

Cao Cao knew that if it was Xiahou Yuan instead, he would definitely hesitate.

But Cao Cao will not blame Xiahou Yuan, because this is human nature.

It's like there are many people who are very brave, but when they really face a life and death crisis, although he will eventually choose to die generously, he always has to hesitate for a while.

Therefore, it is too common for Xiahou Yuan to have this kind of thought, and people like Li Zhi are really rare in the world.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Yuan also knew that he was changing the topic, but he didn't say much, and after nodding, he went to prepare with a depressed face.

After waiting for a while, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly came to Cao Cao again, clasped his fists, and whispered, "Brother, everything is ready." ”

"Hmm" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and then turned around, looking at the more than 100,000 troops behind him, his face full of spirit.

He had already discussed with Li Zhi, and after these people were captured, Li Zhi would hand them over to him.

In other words, after this time, he will have nearly 200,000 troops in his hands!

This is an army that can influence the situation in the world!

And, most importantly, he can finally see Li Zhi's back.

In the past, although he was also a prince, he could become a prince and rely on Li Zhi's help.

Therefore, he has been holding his breath in his heart, hoping to catch up with his duties, and now he can finally be slightly compared with Li Zhi.

Of course, this does not mean that Cao Cao hates Li Zhi in his heart, it can only be said that Cao Cao is also a man, and he also has his own dignity!

He doesn't want to be favored by others everywhere, and always wants to make an earth-shattering career that people look up to, so he has this mentality.

After Cao Cao looked at the army for a while, he turned around and turned on his horse, waved his hand and said loudly: "Go!" ”

"Departure !!" The herald behind Cao Cao, after hearing Cao Cao's order, immediately roared.

Subsequently, the other heralds planted in the army also conveyed Cao Cao's orders one by one.

After a stick of incense, the entire army slowly marched towards Luoyang, which had already opened the city gate.

During the march, Cao Cao whispered to Xiahou Yuan and asked, "Are you ready for all the archers that my brother prepared for you?" ”

"Please rest assured, brother, a certain family has already planted archers on the periphery of the entire army." After saying this, Xiahou Yuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his hand waved down violently, "Once someone plans to escape, they will immediately shoot them to death!" ”

"That's good, don't go through the net!" After Cao Cao sneered, he admonished again.

Cao Cao had long expected that when they were about to enter Luoyang, there must be some impatient people from the family who did not dare to enter Luoyang, so they secretly ran away.

Therefore, he asked Xiahou Yuan to arrange thousands of archers around the army in advance.

As soon as someone escapes, they immediately release their arrows, so that they can guard against both deserters and those of the family.

Although Cao Cao felt that the people of the family who came to the alliance were all waste, he also had to admit that what these wastes represented behind them was a huge strength.

If they can't be completely shut up, when today is over, these people will definitely take revenge on Cao Cao after they go back.

Although it will not shake Cao Cao's foundation, it can make him annoyed.

Therefore, Cao Cao did it before

Prepare, I want to catch all the people of these families and not let them get away with anyone!

In this way, the forces behind those people of the family do not know what is going on here.

It is estimated that in the end, they will only guess that Li Zhi does not know what method was used to defeat the family alliance.

Anyway, no matter how they guessed, it was impossible to put this matter on Cao Cao's head, and they wouldn't have troubled Cao Cao.

The reason why Cao Cao did this was because he now needed some time to digest the more than 100,000 troops.

These more than 100,000 troops were originally slaves of the family, and they have been with the family for a long time, and they always have a little feeling.

If he wants to turn these slaves into his own army, he will have to go through rigorous training, and the training room will take time.

So Cao Cao can't let anything bother him with training the army now.

Just as Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan were talking, they suddenly heard a loud roar from behind, "You have all been deceived, this person is Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, he is our enemy!"

Hurry up and run, don't enter Luoyang City, after entering Luoyang City, you will be killed by Li Zhi's butcher!! ”

After this shout, another shout was heard from another place, "That's right! You should also know why Li Zhi was able to become a hussar general, that is the official position he exchanged for millions of lives in the Yellow Turban!

Think about it, millions of people will kill him when he says so, let alone the more than 100,000 of you? Don't be stupid anymore, run away!! ”

After this voice fell, another voice sounded in another place, and these voices came and went, all talking about Cao Cao and Li Zhi.

"Not good!" After Cao Cao heard these voices, his face changed, and he hurriedly commanded Xiahou Yuan: "Quick! Order the archers planted in the army to shoot all these speakers! ”

Cao Cao knew that the reason why these slave troops followed him to Luoyang was only to mistake him for the upper echelons of the family alliance, so they were willing to follow his orders.

And once his identity is revealed, although these slaves will not attack him, they will not follow him into Luoyang again.

"This ......" After Xiahou Yuan heard Cao Cao's order, he shook his head with a pale face and said, "Brother, there are only a few thousand archers in our hands.

Prior to this, the elder brother had a certain family arrange thousands of archers around the army.

So a certain family sent out all the archers who were planted in the army, and now ......"

Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head with remorse on his face, "Now there is not a single archer in the army!" ”

"What?!" After Cao Cao heard Xiahou Yuan's words, his face changed drastically.

He didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to take matters into his own hands and send out all the archers he had planted in the army, which was a big deal for him!

However, now he didn't care about being angry with Xiahou Yuan, waved the sword in his hand, and ordered Xiahou Yuan loudly: "Now there is no time for you to blame yourself!"

You quickly lead the escort team of a certain family to arrest all these "enemies" who spread rumors and make trouble.

When he said the word "enemy", Cao Cao emphasized his tone.

Whether these servants believe it or not, he must now put the word "enemy" in the heads of these shouters!

In this way, although it has little effect, it can finally calm people's hearts.

Cao Cao was not afraid of anything else now, but he was afraid that these slave armies would believe the words of these shouters, and then turn around and deal with Cao Cao.

You must know that Cao Cao only has a few thousand people around him now, and once these more than 100,000 people suddenly rebel, then he will have no life!

Therefore, Cao Cao must now muddy this pool of water, so that he can fish in troubled waters and win in chaos!

After instructing Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao still told with some unease: "Remember, it's to arrest them, not to kill them, it's still useful for a certain family to ask them!" ”

"What do you want them to do?!" Xiahou Yuan, who was eager to make up for his mistakes, after hearing Cao Cao's words, waved the big knife in his hand with a murderous face, "Brother, let a certain family cut down all those wastes!" ”

"Nonsense!" After Cao Cao heard Xiahou Yuan's words, he almost fainted.

In the past, Cao Cao always felt that Xiahou Dun's impulsive personality was not suitable for leading the army, but only for being a vanguard general.

But now it seems that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun are worthy of being compatriots, and Xiahou Yuan is not much better than Xiahou Dun!

"Brother...... Xiahou Yuan suggested that Cao Cao disagree, and he was immediately anxious, and was about to say a few more words, but ......

......Cao Cao saw that Xiahou Yuan was unrepentant, and was about to refute, but he pulled out the sword at his waist and put it on Xiahou Yuan's neck, and roared loudly with anger on his face: "Call the lonely lord!!

Lone orders you to immediately lead Lone's guards to arrest all those who shout, and if you fail to complete this order, military law will be !! ”

At the end, Cao Cao's voice was about to burst.

He was now about to be mad by Xiahou Yuan's stupidity!

What did he arrest those people for? It's not for the sake of their little lives!

As long as these people from the family are caught, even if their identities are exposed, there are people from the family as hostages, and those slaves will not dare to act rashly.

And what is Xiahou Yuan doing now? He was wasting Cao Cao's hard-won time!

Therefore, Cao Cao was no longer as kind as before at this time, and directly used the order.

Moreover, you can hear from his self-proclaimed that he is now on business!

If Xiahou Yuan was really unwilling to obey his orders, then he could only endure the pain and kill Xiahou Yuan!

"......" Xiahou

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan looked at him in disbelief.

Because since he followed Cao Cao, Cao Cao had never spoken to him in such a businesslike tone, so he was now a little lost and scared in his heart.

That's right, it's just scared!

Although his martial arts are higher than Cao Cao, he is afraid of Cao Cao at this time from the bottom of his heart.

It can be said that Cao Cao at this time is the real Cao Cao, the immortal hero!

Under the persecution of the life and death crisis, Cao Cao also showed the decisiveness and ruthlessness of a hero!

"What? Are you really going to disobey Lone's order? Cao Cao saw that after Xiahou Dun heard his order, he was silent, his eyes narrowed, and the sword in his hand tightened.

Although he was very reluctant, if Xiahou Yuan really dared to disobey his order, then he would not hesitate to wipe the sword in his hand!

It's nothing else, it's just about humility!

He is now the lord of Xiahou Yuan, the elder brother of Xiahou Yuan, and the commander of this army!

In any case, Xiahou Yuan must obey his orders!

Therefore, if Xiahou Yuan really dared to disobey the military order, then Cao Cao could only endure the pain and kill him!

Otherwise, how will Cao Cao lead the army in the future? How to convince the public?

"......" After Xiahou Yuan felt the coldness on his neck, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, and then he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It belongs to obeying the orders of the lord!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xiahou Yuan turned his head and left.

Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly removed the sword in his hand.

Xiahou Yuan turned around too quickly just now, if it wasn't for Cao Cao's timely reaction, I'm afraid Xiahou Yuan's neck would have been wiped off by Cao Cao!

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, who was leaving in a hurry, and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Because he also has his difficulties, if he can't suppress Xiahou Yuan today, then after today's events spread throughout the army, his prestige in the army will definitely plummet, so he must do this!

After Xiahou Yuan turned around, he saw that Cao Cao didn't appease him a few words, and his heart was even more sad, he raised the big knife in his hand, and roared loudly with grief and anger on his face: "All soldiers! Rush with me!! ”

After saying that, he urged his horse and ran in the direction of the people who spoke in the army of the family.

The moment he turned his head, under the light of the sun, there was some crystal liquid in the corners of his eyes reflecting some cold light......

"The general has an order, all stand still and don't move!

Those who speak are sent by the enemy to disturb the morale of the army, do not believe them! ”

"The general has an order, all stand still and don't move!

Those who speak are sent by the enemy to disturb the morale of the army, do not believe them! ”

"The general has an order......

After Xiahou Yuan left, Cao Cao was not idle, and ordered hundreds of heralds to continue to muddy the waters.

After hearing Cao Cao's order, those slaves were a little dazed on their faces, not knowing whose order to listen to.

These servants were all members of the family, and some of them recognized those who shouted.

Originally, they were about to follow the orders of these shouters, but after hearing Cao Cao's orders, they hesitated again.

Because if what Cao Cao said was true, and these people who shouted were not real family members, but spies sent by the enemy, then they followed these people's orders, wouldn't it be a big deal for their own family master?!

When the time comes, you may be punished against!

Therefore, these people did not dare to obey the orders of the shouter, so they could only stand in confusion, looking at each other in a daze.

"Huh......" Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation.

He was really afraid that these slaves would not obey his orders, but fortunately, things did not go for the worse.

"Da ......" Just after the slave army was all standing in place, Xiahou Dun also came to the army with his men and horses.

Then, he came to a place, grabbed a slave, and asked with a grim face, "I ask you!" Where is the person who shouted just now?! ”

Xiahou Yuan was very polite, and could even be called rude.

But his actions reassured the servant.

Because on weekdays, those high-ranking children of the family use this tone to talk to them.

Therefore, he took it for granted that Xiahou Yuan was also a member of the family.

Therefore, after hearing Xiahou Yuan's words, this servant immediately pointed at a person without hesitation, "The general is this person who is disturbing the morale of the army, quickly arrest him!" ”

"You idiot, a certain family is the head of your family, why do you want to give up a certain family?!" The identified man looked at the slave in disbelief.

He really didn't expect that the slave who was only a promise on weekdays would become his life-killing talisman at this moment!

"Phew!" When the slave heard the man's words, he immediately spat at it.

Then, I don't know where he got the strength, he suddenly broke free from Xiahou Yuan's shackles, and came to the front of the family in a few steps.

"You... What are you doing? "Although the man of this family is about thirty years old and in the prime of life.

But because he is pampered on weekdays, the courage in his heart and the strength of his body have long been hollowed out by the wine!

Therefore, he was now a little afraid of this slave who had been respectful to him in the past.

"What? Hey, hey, hey, hey......" After hearing the words of the family man, the servant laughed gloomily, walked forward quickly, raised his right foot and kicked it forward......
