Chapter 179: Gou Quan's life in troubled times
If he admitted that he was Lu Bu's son at this time, he, his situation could also be imagined, Cao Cao would definitely use him as a hostage to blackmail Lu Bu. But he knows whether he is Lu Bu's son or not, this is just a temporary survival trick, if he is really used by Cao Cao, it will inevitably expose his lies at that time, and I am afraid that he will die even worse at that time.
When I was in a dilemma, I couldn't help but tremble under fear.
At this time, Ruyi, who was on guard next to him, suddenly spoke: "General Mingjian, the master of my family is Lu Bu's son and daughter who are outcast, and I also ask the general to put morality first and protect me." ”
When the dog heard this, he was only stunned, and he couldn't speak, but he opened a pair of eyes and looked at Ruyi in surprise and said, "You... You are talking nonsense! ”
Ruyi pretended to be frightened and said: "Little lord, we have been exposed, and it will be in vain to cover it up again, but we will not admit our identity and avoid being humiliated again." ”
Xu Chu's expression remained unchanged and said, "Just the two of you?" ”
Ruyi suddenly shouted to everyone: "Where are the guards?" ”
Xu Chu saw that the seven people echoed and promised, it was the person who had been unwilling to kneel before, everyone was extremely capable, by no means an idle person, and a small slave, but suddenly had the spirit of a king, if it was not for a long time in the high gate and nobles, there would never be the breath of this superior.
couldn't help but believe in Ruyi's words, and finally smiled and said: "Very good, since you are Lu Bu's family, I will not slack off." Now that the general is about to enter the city, you will go with me to meet you. ”
On the same day, Xu Chu exterminated 36 gangsters in Dingtao, and incorporated more than 3,000 Jingyong gangsters. Xu Chu immediately trained the generals and accepted the defense of various important places in the city, only waiting for Cao Cao to come to Dingtao.
The change of Dingtao certainly shook Yanzhou, which made the imperial generals Zhang Liao, Yan Liang and others stationed at the Yanzhou border look sideways.
But just the day before, a major event happened in Yuzhou, which shook the whole world, which also prompted Cao Cao to attack Dingtao in order to save some face strategically.
There was already a state newspaper to spread the news to the world, Prime Minister Lu Bu, led 150,000 heavy troops, crossed the river to the east of Runan, and transferred Yingchuan to guard the general Zhang Jaw to lead the troops south, and attacked Runan City on both sides.
Runan defended the forbidden city for several days, and was finally broken, and when the ban was defeated and fled, he was beheaded by Lu Bu himself, and Cao's army was beheaded more than 20,000, and half of them were captured alive. Yu was seriously injured in the forbidden body, and he still thought of the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, so he had to surrender.
Lu Bu even took advantage of the victory to pursue, and even went down to Yingshang, Guangzhou, Hefei and other places in Yuzhou, and his troops approached the territory of Yangzhou.
Lu Bu's army marched thousands of miles every day, all the way like entering a no-man's land, and the counties he passed through looked down on the wind.
Cao Cao faced several enemies, and in the north, Gao Shun, Jia Xu, the governor of Jizhou, who was personally appointed by Lu Bu, was eyeing him, and there were Yanzhou generals Zhang Liao and Yan Liang watching on his side.
Even though Cao Cao recruited soldiers for many years, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers under his account, he didn't dare to move lightly, so he could only watch Lu Bu forcibly seize Yuzhou and march to Yangzhou.
Seeing that the prefectures and counties under his rule were encroached upon by Lu Bu step by step, Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and urgently ordered Xu Chu, who was working hard in Dingtao, to act in advance and take Dingtao, in order to be able to fight Yanzhou with Zhang Liao.
Yanzhou had less than 20,000 defenders, and they were scattered among Chenliu, Xuxian, Shangqiu and other counties. Once it becomes a decisive battle, Zhang Liao and others will be difficult to match Cao Jun.
When the time comes, recover Yanzhou, and then go south to find an opportunity to fight with Lu Bu, there is no chance of victory. Behind him, Jizhou has its own Yellow River, and Xun Yu and others are guarding the nest, which is harmless for a while.
Within a few days, Cao Cao really led a large army to Dingtao City, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, stretching for several miles, with no end in sight.
Ruyi and others were detained by Xu Chu and were not allowed to be free, and the grand scene of Cao Cao's entry into the city was naturally not seen with his own eyes.
After Cao Cao entered the city, he was surprised to learn that Lu Bu's son and son had been captured by Xu Chu, and urgently recruited Gou'er, Ruyi and others to meet to determine whether the rumors were true.
Ruyi waited for this opportunity for a long time, she came this time, just to find the opportunity to get close to Cao Cao, originally wanted to go to Jiyin City to assassinate Cao Cao, but did not expect such a change in this Dingtao City, approaching Cao Cao has become extremely simple, the most difficult thing to do is to get close to Cao Cao, and now with the identity of this little beggar dog as a support, as long as she is given a moment to get close to Cao Cao, it is enough.
These days, Ruyi has been detained with the dog, during which Ruyi asked the dog about his life experience, asked him why he called himself the heir of Lu Bu, and what his basis was. But the dog couldn't tell why, but insisted that he was living with the servant, and then the servant died in the middle of the disaster, and told him the truth before he died. As for where he came from, who his mother was, and what experiences he had over the years, he was at a loss, as if he didn't know anything about these situations, only that the servant who had been taking care of him was named Zhang Fang.
Ruyi was disappointed, although this dog was conclusive, but there was no clear evidence to prove that he was the son of Lu Bu, once Cao Cao inquired, such omissions were full of omissions, where could he hide from the cunning Cao Cao? conspired with Gou'er several times to fabricate his birth experience for him, so that he could deal with the past when Cao Cao inquired about it.
Ruyi and others were summoned by Cao Cao, all the way, the guards outside the hall lined up, there were hundreds of people, to the main hall, only to see four or five people in the hall, the people in the hall had white faces and short beards, a gloomy look, looking full of majesty, presumably Cao Cao and his people. Behind him, Xu Chu stood with a sword, staring at His Highness's people, concentrating on vigilance, as if they were all guarding against someone in the hall who broke out and hurt people.
The dog according to Ruyi's instructions, walked to the front of the hall and bowed down to see Cao Cao, looking very decent, after changing into a brocade clothes, the whole person no longer has the previous downfall, looks like a rich atmosphere, but the civilian style cultivated by the body for many years is difficult to change after all, after seeing Cao Cao, it is inevitable that the body is rickety, trembling.
Xu Chu shouted: "When you see the general, why don't you kneel!" ”
The dog was startled, and as soon as his legs were weak, he was about to kneel on the ground, and Ruyi secretly supported his figure and signaled to him with a look.
Only then did the dog remember his previous entrustment, suppress the fear in his heart, and said: "I am the son of the prime minister, how noble my status is, how can I bow my knees to foreign officials." ”
Xu Chu shouted angrily: "Bold! ”
Cao Cao waved his hand, signaled Xu Chu to be a little calmer, and asked lightly: "You said that you are the son of Lu Bu, what basis do you have?" ”
Dog said: "My father Lu Bu, my mother Diao Chan, was separated in Luoyang in the early years, last year I learned that my father went to Yanzhou, so I came here to recognize my relatives, who knew that my father was defeated and retreated, I waited here in the midst of the war, and then the servant died of a violent illness, I was left alone, and I no longer had the ability to go to find my father alone, I don't want my father to send someone to find me at this time, just when the general's army arrived, I think it is also the will of heaven to make people." ”
Cao Cao is very familiar with Lu Bu, Lu Bu's son and daughter have long been in his information, this time he learned that someone claimed to be Lu Bu's son, he didn't believe it originally, but he had the idea of what happened, so he summoned him to meet, if it was really Lu Bu's flesh and bones left outside, he could use it.
I have heard that Lu Bu is afraid of his wife like a tiger, and he can't even marry a concubine, and he has only had a wife for decades, so it can be seen that Lu Bu's wife Yan must be a woman with a strong desire for exclusivity.
Even if Lu Bu's family can be safe, just with this Lu Bu's son in hand, it is bound to make him fearful.
This time, I heard that the dog was properly corresponding, everything was in line with the logic, and Cao Cao had already heard about Diao Chan, so he was sure of eight or nine points in his heart, and smiled disdainfully: "It's really difficult for you, what's your name." ”
The dog has never seen the world, Cao Cao is not angry and arrogant, just a few words made him frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "I have been separated from my father since I was a child, and I have no big name, only a small name is Gou, Ah Niang wants me to survive in this troubled world, to be able to save myself, and to live in the troubled times." ”
Cao Cao changed color when he heard this, if he could save his life in troubled times, it was also commendable, even if he regarded himself as a hero, he could not protect the safety of his wife and children, and the eldest son and the righteous son lost their lives one after another, and this was all thanks to Lu Bu.
Thinking back to the past, I couldn't help but feel lonely, looking at Gou'er in front of me, Cao Cao's eyes were surging with hatred, and he actually moved to kill for a while.
Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao's face was not good, so he knew what he was thinking. Now Lu Bu's army is pressing, no one can stop the front of the army, the huge Yuzhou, only used half a month to break through, hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, even if it is to measure the land on horseback, it is impossible to be so easy, it can be seen that Yuzhou does not have the slightest effective block, almost let Lu Bu into no one's land, and the counties and counties flee without a fight.
If this young man named Gou Er is really Lu Bu's child, then with Lu Bu's heart, he will definitely be restrained, which will be beneficial to the next event, and hurriedly persuaded: "Ming Gong, since this son is the son of Lu Bu, we should treat each other politely, and when our army meets him, if we can give him a surprise, it will not lose the hospitality of our Dongjun people." ”
Cao Cao sighed secretly, now that Lu Bu is strong, the situation is no longer as good as it was back then, it can be said that one is in full swing, but the other is already going downhill. Although he seems to be beautiful, commanding Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Yuzhou and most of Yanzhou, but after several battles, the army has already been scarred, and the fall of the generals is even more shocking to him. This made Cao Cao, who was strong by nature, also have to suppress the selfish desires in his heart and spare Gou'er's life in exchange for a moment of comfort.
Cao Cao suddenly felt that he was really old, and even his eyes were a little wandering, and he actually saw the maidservant girl beside Gou Er peeking at him, and the sudden gaze made him shudder.
Cao Cao, who is it, this kind of doubt is fleeting, and he knows that this servant girl and the guard on one side are absolutely extraordinary, especially although this servant girl is bowing her head and wearing ordinary cloth clothes, but the aura of the superior on her body is definitely dyed after years of edification, if it is not for the fact that the high-ranking family definitely does not have such a demeanor, how can it be the breath that an ordinary maid should have.
Cao Cao couldn't help but stare and said, "You are from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Ruyi did not reply, but Yan Chao said without being arrogant or humble: "I will wait for the prime minister's order to come, and please ask the general to protect my little son regardless of the past suspicions." ”
