~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Dian Wei just sneaked into the Luoyang Palace, Jia Xu and Li Ru, Lu Su and others had already gone back to rest, and Kang Peng was still teasing Sun Shangxiang and Wu Xin, Zhen Mi and a few other little beauties to play, this unscrupulous bad student in order to please the future beauties, actually taught these teenage children to play mahjong, although there was no mahjong at that time, but the power of the world is convenient, Dong Chong and Dong Man, these two bad boys got dozens of pairs of ivory from the south from the treasure house of the palace, and the cutting and carving became, As a result, not only did the three little beauties become obsessed with mahjong, but even Zhen Mi's beautiful mother was obsessed with it.
"Bad Master, you lost." Sun Shangxiang jumped into Kang Peng's arms, "I want to pull out three beards." ”
Kang Peng covered his chin and frowned, "Xiangxiang, can you lose the rest of your life?" It hurts to pull out a beard. ”
Sun Shangxiang was spoiled by Kang Peng, where he was willing to jump and jump in Kang Peng's arms, and he had to pull out the hard beard on Kang Peng's ugly face, although Sun Shangxiang was only nine years old, his body had already begun to develop, and Kang Peng reluctantly took advantage of it, while Wu Xin and Zhen Mi were much more gentle than Sun Shangxiang, just watching Kang Peng and Sun Shangxiang tear and snicker.
When Kang Peng was enjoying it, suddenly Zhao Yun rushed in, "Tell the Taishi, the palace is on fire!" ”
Kang Pengteng stood up, and the palace was on fire? Is it an accident or someone deliberately set fire, if it is intentional arson, then Emperor Han Xian is in danger, Emperor Han Xian is dead, it is nothing, but he has to bear the charge of killing the king, then his good reputation for hard work will be in vain.
Kang Peng was about to give the order to enter the palace to check, but the herald stumbled and knelt down in front of the door, "Tell the Taishi, the Huangmen Street where the princes are imprisoned suddenly caught fire, Cao Cao was rescued, and Wucheng Hou was seriously injured by the people who rescued Cao Cao. ”
"Father!" Sun Shangxiang cried loudly and was about to rush out of the house. Kang Peng grabbed her and ordered in a row: "Tune Xiliang Tie to ride into Luoyang, closely monitor the city gate, search for Cao Cao, notify Wenhe and the military advisors to them, and let them come to see me, Zilong, call Meng Qi and Wenhuahou, and follow me to Huangmen Street to see Wuchenghou." Xiangxiang, you and I went to see your father. ”
Although there were two fires in Luoyang City, there was no chaos on the streets, one is that the public security in Luoyang has improved significantly after Gao Shun took over the defense of Luoyang City, and the other is that the people of Luoyang have known Dong Zhuojun's military discipline after several turmoil, so they all go home without panic, light up the oil lamp at home, so that Dong Zhuojun can search for thieves, and then sleep with his wife in his arms.
"Father, father." As soon as they arrived at a house on Huangmen Street, where the princes were imprisoned, Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang rushed in crying, and Kang Peng, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others were worried about their safety and hurriedly followed.
The mansion was already in a mess, the corpses of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers guarding the princes were all over the place, Cao Cao and others had long since disappeared, but Sun Jian was lying in front of the door covered in blood, and his three henchmen Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others were also covered in bruises, taking care of Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang cried even more when they saw their father injured like this.
Hua Tuo didn't say a word, rushed up and first pricked Sun Jian a few stitches to stop the bleeding for him, and then asked Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others to take charge of the lamp, and he stitched up Sun Jian's wound. Kang Peng asked Han Dangdao: "What's wrong?" Who kidnapped Cao Cao? Why was Wu Chenghou injured? ”
Han Dang's face was full of grief and indignation, "Just now when we arrived at Hai, Cao Thief's room suddenly sounded, we got up to look, and saw a Humpty Dumpty man knock down the guards, handed over a large package of weapons to the Cao thief generals, the lord took us forward to stop, Cao Thief scolded the lord for the tiger, and then we moved, but Cao Thief's lackeys have weapons in their hands, we are all barehanded, we can't beat them, especially the Humpty Dumpty who calls himself Xu Yang is very powerful, but the lord was beaten by him like this, and they took the opportunity to escape." ”
"Xu Zhen," Sun Ce shouted, "I swear to kill you!" ”
Kang Peng gasped, Xu Zhen, the Humpty Dumpty who assassinated Li Ru that day was Xu Zhen, so that bald head should be Dian Wei, no wonder he could tie with Zhao Yun. But what surprised Kang Peng was still behind, and Han Dang said again: "Cao Thief just left, Tai Shici, who performed at the military generals conference today, rushed in again and rescued Beihai Kong Rong, and we were all injured, so we had to watch." ”
"Someone's coming!" Kang Peng howled: "The whole army is dispatched, go find Cao Cao for me, capture Cao Cao, reward ten thousand households, kill Cao Cao, and reward a thousand gold!" ”
Before the herald could agree, another herald rushed over again, "Tell the Taishi, the place where Liu Bei and others are held on Taoao Street has been raided, and the three brothers of Liu Bei have been rescued!" ”
Kang Peng was so angry that he was smoking, did Cao Apo and Big Ear discuss it? Kang Peng picked up the herald and roared, "Let's be more detailed, who rescued Liu Bei?" ”
The poor herald trembled with fright, "Hui, Hui Taishi, the little one doesn't know who rescued Liu Bei, I only know that the brothers who guarded Liu Bei were all killed by bows and arrows, and all of them were shot through the throat with an arrow...... "Kang Peng put him down heavily, and his heart was Huang Zhong!" Only Huang Zhong could have such an accurate arrow in the dark night!
At this time, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Lu Bu, Wei Yan and others arrived one after another, and after hearing about the situation, Jia Xu immediately suggested: "Taishi, our army has been well defended recently, and there are definitely not many thieves who have entered the city. ”
Kang Peng immediately ordered, "Fengxian, you lead the troops to guard the south gate, Wen Chang goes to the north gate, Gongming goes to the east gate, Meng Qi you go to the west gate, no matter what, Cao Cao and Liu Bei can't be allowed to escape." Zilong, Bofu, Wenhe, Xianjia, and Zijing, you follow me to the palace, Gao Shun strengthens street patrols, and beware of the enemy setting fire to disturb the people! ”
"Yes!" The generals acted separately, Kang Peng got up and went to the palace, everyone rode all the way, and when they were about to reach the palace, two people suddenly rushed out of the roadside, shouting: "Taishi, go and save the Luoyang granary!" At this moment, Dong Zhuojun was already a frightened bird, no matter who they were, immediately pressed them to the ground. Kang Peng originally wanted to ask who they were later, but the child's words made him stop the horse, "Taishi, we are the Sima brothers you are looking for, he is my eldest brother Sima Lang, and I am Sima Yi." ”
Sima Lang struggled on the ground and shouted: "Master, the biggest weakness of Luoyang City now is the granary, if the thieves burn the granary, the victims outside the city will not be able to survive the winter." Sima Yi also shouted: "Taishi, if the thieves want to escape by taking advantage of the chaos, they must go north of the city. Before they could finish their words, flames were already rising in the east of the city, and then the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Kang Peng, Lu Su, Li Ru and others suddenly turned pale, they really didn't think of the weakness of the granary, although Jia Xu took it into account, but he felt that no matter how vicious the enemy was, he would not touch the lifeblood of the victims, even Jia Xu, who was known as a poisonous man, would never do this, but he didn't expect the enemy to really do it. Jia Xu's heart is not simple, this person is actually more poisonous than me.
Kang Peng's eyes were already red, and he shouted: "Dispatch half of the army to fight the fire, and you must keep the granary!" Kang Peng couldn't care about the palace in a hurry, so he immediately turned his horse's head and went straight to the granary in the east of the city.
When Kang Peng and others rushed to the granary, the fire had reached the point where it could not be cleaned up, the granary covering an area of dozens of acres had been burned, and it was hot when they stood close, and it happened that there was a strong wind tonight, and the fire was even more raging by the wind, making it even more difficult to fight the fire, Kang Peng didn't think about killing Cao Cao and killing Liu Bei at the moment, jumped off the horse and grabbed a wooden barrel and rushed into the fire.
The fire was blazing, the smoke was filled, Kang Peng was so smoked that his eyes were in tears, but he knew the importance of these grains to the victims outside the city, so he just ran frantically in the fire, kept pouring water on the fire, and from time to time resisted the burning food bags and ran out of the fire to extinguish them, saving a little is a little, Zhao Yun is also crying, half is smoked, half is moved tears, and follows Kang Peng without saying a word, ready to protect him at any time.
But the fire was too big, and he didn't know what kind of combustibles the enemy used, the fire easily spread everywhere and could not be stopped, and from time to time there were a few loud noises, and then there was a huge fire, if Kang Peng listened attentively, he must have found that it was the sound of gunpowder explosion. Although Dong Zhuojun worked hard, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the fire was spreading, and the area of the sea of fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that the food was about to be completely unsaved.
Just when Kang Peng was almost desperate, a miracle appeared, and countless people suddenly appeared near the fire, including residents of Luoyang, and victims who fled to Luoyang, they roared and rushed into the fire, fighting with water, branches, and even their thin clothes, and some people were shouting, "Master Dong, come out quickly, we will save the fire." "Although the sea of fire is large, the sea of people is wider, and everyone does not care about life and death, and the raging fire has finally begun to shrink.
Kang Peng's tears burst out of his eyes, and his own words were finally understood by the people, and they finally accepted themselves. In the eyes of tears, Kang Peng saw that from the old man with pale hair to the children less than three feet, they were all fighting against the fire, rushing to transport food, regardless of their own safety, the middle-aged people were pouring water to put out the fire, the elderly and children were collecting the food scattered in the fire, holding it in their hands, using their pockets to send the food to a safe place, but they didn't even collect a grain privately, even if it was the food that had been burned, they didn't just throw away a grain of ......
A familiar voice came to Kang Peng's ears, still so pungent, so crisp and beautiful, "Old ugly ghost, what are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you get out and burn you, and the people don't blow up the pot? ”
Kang Peng looked closely, and Cai Wenji's pretty figure appeared in front of him, holding a small wooden barrel in her hand, her snow-white face had been blackened and red by smoke, and her hair had been curled a little. Cai Wenji couldn't help but be a little shy when she saw Kang Peng looking at her stupidly, and said softly: "What are you looking at?" Haven't seen enough before? Cai Wenji said triumphantly: "See? My father and I guessed that you must have come to fight the fire yourself, so we led people to shout street by street, saying that you were fighting the fire, and the people came, thank me. ”
Kang Peng smiled, and just wanted to say something, but he was dizzy for a while, his fat body fell unkemptly, and he only heard Cai Wenji's nervous shout in the haze, "Old ugly ghost, what's wrong with you?" The old ugly ghost ...... "And then he didn't know anything."
