Chapter 193: Shouchun Rebellion
"Zhi'er! Although this tiger idiot has been defeated repeatedly, he is a tiger general, and he is willing to give him as your personal guard? "If it was before the battle, Cao Zhi would be a hundred willing, in order to quench a hundred heads, now after making up his mind, where will he brush Cao Cao's scales, I saw him step forward in pieces, and said respectfully: "The son only asks to be by his father's side, burn the text and dance ink, and be a scholar!" Xu has his father in charge, it can be said that he can sit back and relax, he does not need the help of General Xu, as the saying goes: good steel should be used on the blade, although General Xu was defeated, but he was a loyal minister and a good general, and asked his father to give him a chance to make a contribution. ”
This is sincere, even Liu Hong nodded slightly, he has the heart to recover the Hun Xu Zhu, and he will naturally not give up such an opportunity in front of him because of the lack of major generals, "Xu Zhu will listen to the seal in front of the tent, give you a military body, and make you a general of Dangkou, with five hundred households!" ”
Xu Zhu, who was born as a guard, has no military body, has always been his heart disease, several efforts, but he has been repeatedly hit, at this moment suddenly met Gan Lin, stood in place sluggishly for a while, and only after a while was Cao Zhi's reminder, kneeling on the ground, and even saying thank you to the lord.
"Haha!"
"Cao Cao" burst into a hearty laugh, went down the steps to help Xu Zhu, and of course did not forget to give the winning Zhao Yun a sweet date: "Zhong Kang and Zilong are lonely left arms and right arms, lonely people who have always been non-biased, pass on, reward two generals and six beauties, and a thousand taels of gold!" ”
"The last general will thank the lord!" Zhao Yun and Xu Zhu said in unison.
Liu Hong looked at the direction of Jiangdong with blazing eyes, and muttered to himself: "Zhou Yu, now that my soldiers are prosperous and wide, sitting in the four states, even if it is a dragon life, are you still afraid?" ”
Leaving enough defenders to hand over to Ma Jun and Xiahoudun, the remaining Hangzhou army rested until noon the next day, then left the ancient city of Lin'an and sailed towards Shouchun.
This Lin'an is very close to Shouchun, less than a hundred miles apart, and at dusk, a large group of soldiers and horses have advanced into the edge of Shouchun City. At the moment, the Shouchun guard general is the general Xu Sheng, listening to the Hangzhou army and horses all defected to Cao Chengxiang, his first thought is whether this is the enemy's plan, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao Chishui battle, Cao Cao was captured by the barbarian army, it can be said that the Hangzhou army is dominant, why suddenly surrendered, not as good as more than ten years, this is also too dramatic, he is cautious by nature has sent many princes in a row, after learning that it was Cao Zhi who came to fight the outpost, he was even more confused, Nima, the world is really chaotic. This Cao Zhi was obviously ordered to guard Xudu and was trained as a successor, why did he suddenly appear in the Lin'an realm, you must know that this Shouchun is a necessary place between Xudu and Lin'an, when did these three sons avoid themselves and come to Hangzhou, they still don't know anything, where is this to fight the outpost, it is clearly to slap the face, Xu Sheng's face is red and white, but he can only go to contact him.
"General, there is a document in Yecheng!"
"Yecheng? It's really TMD! ”... Xu Sheng, who had read the paperwork, had an extremely complicated complexion, and walked back and forth several times before he said, "Come on, prepare the horse!" Inform the third prince to enter the city from the south gate, and a certain is ten miles outside the city to welcome the driver! ”
"No!"
Here, Cao Zhi got Cao Cao's order, took three or five followers, rode to the south of the city to rest, and waited for Xu Sheng's arrival.
This Xu Sheng is a person from Jiangdong, and he has always been a little closer to Cao Pi, but Cao Zhi, who has given up the intention of seizing the heir, is already light at the moment, along the way, he is also leisurely, looking from a distance, at this moment the south gate has been opened, some businessmen-like people are driving ox carts, returning to their homes, and a few people who look a little evil, are explaining what to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then they are driven to other city gates by the soldiers, so as to minimize the danger, press, This Xu Sheng's attitude towards welcoming himself is still good. Shouchun's army has about 20,000 people, Cao Cao's strategy is to guard Hangzhou and Jiangdong, although these soldiers are in armor, but they are not disturbed by the war, and they are rarely tired mentally, and their morale is maintained very well, Cao Zhi nodded secretly, this Xu Sheng is a person who understands swords, and he can be regarded as a usable talent.
Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier rushed over, "Childe, General Xu is already waiting in front." ”
Cao Zhi nodded slightly, put up the curtain and looked into the city, and in the distance, he saw a few fast horses running towards the door, and behind him were two rows of infantry. It's dusty all the way, but the posture is not.
At this moment, Xu Sheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, and stepped forward and arched his hand: "I don't know that the son has arrived, and I have missed the distance, please forgive me!" ”
"You're welcome, General!" Cao Zhi said hello.
"The last general has already sorted out the Shouchun Mansion Yabi, please review it! Dare to ask the son, I don't know when the lord will enter the city? ”
Although Cao Zhi's complexion did not change, he was a little vigilant in his heart, and dozens of burly and heavily armored soldiers behind Xu Sheng stood with swords, all fierce and murderous. Why do you need to fight like this when you meet your own people? The more polite Xu Sheng was, the more Cao Zhi kept an eye on him.
"A certain person has been sent to contact, I believe that the brigade will be able to catch up soon!"
"In this case, please go to the other courtyard to rest!"
"Good!"
"Childe, please!"
"General, please!" ...
"Interesting, this Cao Zhi asked us to camp outside the city first? What's so strange about this Shouchun? ”
"Cao Cao" took the book from Guo Jia's hand with a solemn expression, this Xu Sheng and Cao Pi are very close, could it be that this son harbors evil intentions and wants... Guo Jia nodded solemnly, the closer he got to Xu Du, the easier it was to relax, and danger often arose at this time.
"Alright, let's set up camp!" Liu Hong sighed, and secretly said in his heart Cao Cao, a few good sons you raised.
"No!" Guo Jia walked out respectfully.
Immediately, Zhao Yun gave an order, and the whole army retreated for more than ten miles, waiting for a high slope with a good view, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, just camp in the cluster!" ”
"Is this a precursor to another big war? Isn't this Shouchun our own territory? Why not..."
"Huh!" The general threw a whip over, "Daniel Zhang, Wang Ye, you two have to talk nonsense, otherwise military law will be engaged!" ”
A moment later, the tent was set up. Xu Zhu, the guard in charge, said sharply: "Sons, I know that you are physically and mentally tired, but don't slack off at this moment, return to Xudu safely, you all have the reward of gold and silver beauties!" "Cao Cao's tent was in the center of all the tents, and on both sides stood soldiers in full armor, all with weapons in their hands and fierce eyes...
Then Cao Zhi followed Xu Sheng to live in the other courtyard, Xu Sheng stepped forward without disarming, but Shi Li said menacingly: "Son, the main brigade of the main man has retreated for more than ten miles, I don't know why?!" Is it because you can't trust the last general? ”
Cao Zhi said coldly: "I don't know, the general can go to the prime minister's account to ask!" ”
"Gongzi Zhi, the last general will be straightforward, I don't see the lord, and I am panicked! Besides, who doesn't know that you have a rebellion against the lord in Cai County, this Hangzhou army is obedient, and the false way is to reply, it is not your ghost trick! Are you going to take the city? ”
Cao Zhi slapped the table and shouted: "Bold puppet, you must remember that a certain is the son of Prime Minister Cao!" The prime minister is ten miles away at the moment, you can find out at a glance, and the document of the surrender will return to Xu has arrived in Shouchun as early as a day ago, and there is a letter written by the prime minister himself! Xu Sheng, don't you think you can pick it up with one hand, come here! ”
Several big men behind him stepped forward to stand by, and when Xu Sheng's staff next to him saw this embarrassment, they hurriedly pleaded: "It's an eventful autumn, I can't tolerate the general to be imprudent, and I hope that Gongzi's subordinates will show mercy." ”
Cao Zhi snorted coldly, "The following offenders, if you don't kill them, it's not enough to strengthen the army!" ”
"Cao Zhi, don't go too far! You know, this is on a certain turf. You know whether your orders carry any weight or not. Xu Sheng laughed angrily and scolded loudly.
"Your turf? Under this Han family, the prime minister is still there, how can he say whose territory? It turns out that you Xu Sheng have long been disobedient? This Shouchun Fang beheaded the chaotic minister and thief Yuan Shu, you want to follow in his footsteps!? ”
"Huangkou'er, sophistry... A certain is a loyal minister and a good general..."Xu Sheng was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to respond, although this Cao Pi gave him the order to act cheaply, but at this moment, he still had some aura in front of Cao Cao's father and son. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment, but this smile flashed, and he was still angry at this time.
At this moment, the staff members around Xu Sheng knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "Son, all of them have the same root, why bother with each other!" General Xu was just straightforward for a while, and he didn't have the heart to be subordinate, but also looked at his past military exploits and spared his life. ”
"This is Shouchun! I want to spare my life here, Sima Kang, are you crazy? Xu Sheng frowned, dissatisfied with the authenticity.
"The general has to talk nonsense!" Sima Kang was also extremely strong, and he actually contradicted the chief officer of Shouchun City, looking fearless.
"Nonsense? So-and-so is here, what should I do if Cao Zhi is captured? Xu Sheng said angrily.
"The general's move is a conspiracy!" Sima Kang was also not polite, his eyes widened.
"Come on, take down Sima Kang and Cao Zhi for me!" Brush, brush, brush, dozens of armor soldiers behind him surrounded Cao Zhi and others in the center, and it was a bloody battle...
Cao Zhi slowly stepped forward, looked at Xu Sheng and asked, "Is the general afraid of death?" ”
"Nature is not afraid! Also, is this something you should consider? Xu Sheng said with a smile.
Cao Zhi stared at him for a long time and waved his hand, "Take him down!" ”
Sima Kang nodded, and with a wave of his hand, these armor soldiers suddenly changed the direction of the attack, and instead surrounded Xu Sheng in the courtyard...
Seeing the light of the fire coming out of Shouchun City, Xu Zhuxu was anxiously turning around outside the camp tent, it was obvious that there was an accident in the city, he had the intention of saving Cao Zhi, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would be suspicious. When he was at a loss, Guo Jia, who was in the camp opposite, had already lifted the curtain, whispered to Zhongkang, and walked in front of him in a few steps: "Why doesn't Zhongkang sleep late at night?" Why don't you go to a certain tent and pour two lamps? ”
"It's all burning eyebrows, you guy, you still drink bird wine, and you're not afraid to squirt out if you drink it! Squirt you! Xu Zhuxin was straightforward, Rao was prepared by Guo Jiaxin, or he made a big red face.
He smiled embarrassedly, and glanced at the emperor's tent with some resentment, the lights of the tent had not been extinguished, it was obvious that Liu Hong had not fallen asleep, and he must have known Xu Zhu's intentions, but he never came out to reply. And at this moment, he is about to jump out, and it is also in his old man's plan, Guo Jia shook his head, this feeling of being calculated is not very cool, he hugged his fists slightly and said: "This Shouchun is still the Shouchun of the lord, and the son of Zhi is fine, please rest assured Zhongkang!" ”
