Chapter 59: The Wilderness Sky is Low Tree
Zhang Miao and Chen Gong glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: This Lu Bu really has a lot to do with the emperor, and he really spared no effort to blow Lu Bu!
If Lu Bu really had such a god, how could he be mixed up with today's miserable situation.
But they don't want to think about how old Lu Bu is now, who among the princes can be younger than him, he is a supreme minister in his twenties, how many people can there be in the past?
With this huge age advantage, I'm afraid that only Sun Ce, who is attacking Jiangdong, and Ma Chao, the general of Qiang, can barely be compared, right?
Seeing that the time was ripe, Dong Cheng strode up to the main hall, took out a roll of brocade silk from his sleeve, held it up with one hand, and said loudly: "The emperor has a will!" ”
Zhang Miao and Chen Gong hurriedly knelt down.
Dong Cheng proclaimed: "The emperor's edict: Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao, serves the two of Zhonglang Chen Palace, resolves chaos, and tolerates overthrowing, loves the people like a son, and is loyal." Although I am in the midst of the wars and disasters of the princes, I still do not forget to serve the country, filial piety to the royal family, I am far away in the court, and I am very relieved when I hear it. Zhang Miao is specially appointed as the front Sima to contact the loyal people of Yanzhou to participate in the grand event. Chen Gong temporarily led the East County Taishou to help the prime minister conquer the East County. ”
The two of them received the order and thanked them, and each showed his loyalty.
That night, Chen Gong, Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, engaged in Zhonglang Xu Yan and Wang Kai and other accomplices rebelled, leading Prime Minister Lu Bu into Yanzhou
。
Lu Bu was drinking with Diao Chan, and suddenly heard that Cheng Lian came to report: "Prime Minister Qiyu, everything is as expected, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others have already started an incident, just waiting for the prime minister to lead the troops into the master." ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed in his heart, but said quietly: "Order the three armies to march into Yanzhou according to the established plan." ”
Cheng Lian had to be ordered to go, and Lu Bu ate another glass of wine fed by Diao Chan before saying, "I'm going, don't make trouble at home." ”
Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu's departing back, and thought hatefully: "Lu Bu's power is becoming more and more valuable, how can you kill yourself!" ”
Lu Bu said goodbye to everyone in the house, although it is easy to receive Yanzhou, but it is not easy to defend Cao Cao, it is not easy to go, it is unknown how long it will take, but fortunately, the major affairs in the court are entrusted, but there is not much to worry about.
put down Lu Ruyi, who was already two years old in his arms, handed it to Yan Xiuli and said, "I'm leaving." ”
Yan Xiuli said: "You can rest assured that I am in the house." ”
Cao Cao's expedition to Liu Bei almost poured out, leaving only Xun Yu and Cheng Yu 20,000 soldiers to guard Dongjun.
The interior is empty, if Lu Bu fights city by city, Cao Cao will naturally have time to withdraw his troops and return to defense.
However, the Yanzhou scholars were worried about Cao Cao's cruelty to Bian Rang, and they were afraid to follow in his footsteps.
Each of them rose up, responded to every call, and with the edict of the Son of Heaven, most of Yanzhou fell for a while.
Lu Bu led his troops and drove straight in, and he didn't stop at the slightest point and pointed directly at Dongjun.
Cao Cao was under the city of Xiapi at this time, and he was holding the peace letter sent by Liu Bei's envoy in his hand.
Cao Cao was complacent for a while, and said to the envoy Chen Fang: "I have heard for a long time that Liu Bei's inner room Mrs. Gan is beautiful and wise, and her appearance is peerless, if Liu Bei is willing to give her to me, I will agree to withdraw from the army, how about it?" ”
The generals in the tent burst into laughter.
Chen Fang is Chen Zhi's younger brother, and he came to Cao Ying this time to seek peace.
At this time, when he heard Cao Cao insulting the lord, his face was red with anger, and he said angrily: "My family is sincerely seeking peace, and if you don't agree, how can you insult my family, is this the tutor of the eunuch's heir?" ”
Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, and Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, once recognized the Zhongchang servant at that time as his godfather and donated 2 billion coins to buy the honor of the captain.
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that he is a eunuch, but Cao Cao is the most taboo for others to say that he is born, and at this time he lost face in front of everyone, pulled out the sword on the case, and said: "Bold thief, dare to insult me!" ”
Holding the sword, Chen Fang was about to be killed, and the left and right were silent and did not dare to speak, only Guo Jia dissuaded: "It is unkind to kill the messenger, please think twice." ”
Cao Cao said angrily: "This person speaks wildly and slanders me, if you don't kill him, how can he deter the villain." ”
Guo Jia said: "In this case, it is better for Ming Gong to kill him in front of the battle before attacking the city, one is to sacrifice the flag, and the other can hit the enemy's morale." ”
Cao Cao agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion and escorted Chen Fang out of the stable and put him under strict supervision.
He also sent a secret report to Dian Wei, who was hidden in Xuzhou, and ordered him to attack Xuzhou City tomorrow night.
Because Xiahou Yuan and Lejin, who went north to capture Langya and the two counties of the East China Sea, have already succeeded, and they are on their way back to the army.
He also ordered someone to send a secret report to Xiahoudun and Xu Chu, ordering them to step up their attack on Peixian and strive to destroy Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
At this time, a bad news came from Dongjun, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others ate inside and out, and actually incited everyone to vote for Lu Bu, most of Yanzhou fell into the hands of the enemy, Yanzhou is Cao Cao's lifeblood, where is the root, how can it be lost?
This urgent report was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the thunderbolt made Cao Cao feel numb. Cao Cao staggered back a few steps, almost about to fall on the big tent couch.
Cao Ren and Cao Hong hurriedly helped him steady.
Cao Cao didn't appreciate it, shook off the arms of the two, and said: "Now that Yanzhou has fallen, we will be homeless, so it's better to disperse." ”
Everyone in the tent was taken aback, knelt on the ground, and Guo Jia said: "Why did Ming Gong say this, although the situation in Yanzhou is critical now, there are still Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Li Dian and others guarding the city. The Dongjun where the core of our army is located is in hand, so it is better to withdraw the troops immediately and return to Yanzhou to garrison in case of Lu Bu. ”
Cao Cao hated: "This Xuzhou will succeed when he sees it, and it is a pity to give up at this time." ”
Guo Jia said: "Xuzhou Liu Bei is not good with the situation, but there are still male soldiers in hand, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat for a while, but my troops in Yanzhou are empty, if Lu Bu marches at full speed, he can travel thousands of miles in a day, and when Dongjun loses, then the big thing will go!" ”
Cao Cao had no choice but to lift Chen Fang out of the stable again, and said: "I discussed with the generals and agreed to Liu Bei's request for peace, you go back and tell Liu Bei to eat and drink well, and this revenge for killing his father will come sooner or later." ”
After sending off the envoy, Cao Cao ordered the army to immediately leave the camp and set off and hurried to Dongjun.
Liu Bei stood on the city tower, seeing that Cao Cao's army really retreated like a tide, in a hurry, he didn't even have time to take away the pot stove to clear it, and for a while it was like a dream, and said to Chen Fang, who came in return: "Mr. is in the enemy camp and persuades Cao Cao to retreat, Liu Bei admires it very much." ”
Chen Fang said abruptly: "It's not that his subordinates persuade Cao Cao to quit, I also think it's inexplicable." ”
At that time, the situation of going to Cao Ying was described in detail, and everyone listened to it, and they all scolded Cao Cao for being shameless.
Liu Bei didn't take Cao Cao's humiliation to heart, but just said suspiciously: "What is the reason for Cao Cao's hasty retreat?" Could it be that Sun Qian lobbied Yuan Shu successfully, and Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Yanzhou, which made Cao Cao retreat? ”
Jian Yong said: "Maybe it was Lu Bu who attacked Yanzhou." ”
Liu Bei was afraid that Cao Cao would retreat by deception, so he sent men and horses to follow Cao Cao's army and witness its withdrawal from Xuzhou.
I couldn't help but feel refreshed in my heart, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and fought back the counties and counties of Xuzhou occupied by the Cao army, and they were defeated or surrendered within a day, and the county heads of Xuzhou counties were full of Liu Bei's banners.
But it was said that Zhang Fei was bored, sitting in the city tower and drinking stuffy wine, waiting for more than half a month, Xiahoudun did not even launch a decent attack, but in the past two days, he sent two thousand crossbow archers to shoot a few arrows from afar, and the bows and arrows could not float to the city!
When Zhang Fei rushed out of the city with five hundred horsemen, the crossbow archers flew like frightened rabbits, and disappeared.
was so angry that the third master scolded his mother.
He was also given a strict order not to go out of the city to pursue.
In the past few days, I heard that the second brother has fought several battles in Xiao Town, and I am really envious.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a familiar voice shouting: "Third master, something is wrong, Xiahoudun has escaped!" ”
The person who came was Zhang Fei's Yamen general Liao Hua.
When Zhang Fei heard the news, he was immediately so angry that his face was colorless, and he scolded: "Xiahoudun of the dog day, you are here for your fucking pastime?" ”
Hurriedly gathered the newly formed 2,000 cavalry under his command, and shouted: "Children, follow me, don't let Xiahoudun escape." ”
The cavalry chased all the way, but where was there still the shadow of Xiahoudun's army, Zhang Fei shouted regretfully: "Regret shouldn't have been in the beginning, fighting to defend this broken city, Lao Tzu didn't have a head!" ”
When Zhang Fei was chasing after him and beating his chest, suddenly a few sneaky riders walked through the mountains and forests, Zhang Fei's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that he was not a Xuzhou general, and Xuzhou did not have such a good armor!
At the moment, he shouted: "There are still enemies, don't let him run away!" ”
After speaking, he chased his horse to the woods, and several cavalry in the forest were limited by the terrain and could not run fast at all, and from time to time they were surrounded by Zhang Fei's 2,000 cavalry regiments.
Zhang Fei captured a few people and tortured them for questioning, only to learn that a few of them were Cao Cao's heralds, and they were about to inform the retreat of the Dian Wei army hidden near Xuzhou City.
Everyone was secretly shocked into a cold sweat when they heard this, if Dian Wei launched an attack, Xuzhou's weak city defense would not be able to resist at all!
Zhang Fei was overjoyed, since the herald had not arrived, then Dian Wei and his little cubs must still be near Xuzhou.
At the moment, regardless of Peixian's army and defense, everything was handed over to General Chen Dao.
He took two thousand cavalry and rushed to Xuzhou City.
Zhang Fei forgot to sleep and eat, and under the guidance of Cao Cao's heralds, he finally found the traces of Dian Wei in Cao County, southwest of Xuzhou.
Zhang Fei secretly tracked down, and sure enough, he found the Dian Wei army hiding in the forest of a hill.
The third master was excited for a moment, and immediately rode his horse to kill him, shouting: "Thief in the forest, come out and die!" ”
Dian Wei hid in this barren mountain for more than half a month, like a savage, needless to say, this grievance is needless to say, if it weren't for the strict order of the lord, he would have entered Xuzhou City.
At this time, when he saw that his whereabouts had been discovered, he no longer hid, but just came out to kill a few people, and let out the evil anger in his chest.
He also ran out of the forest, and without replying, he went straight to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei saw that this general was burly and imposing, and he was by no means an ordinary mediocre talent, he was overjoyed in his heart and shouted: "It's good to come!" ”
The two of them fought as fast as thunder, and both had peerless divine power, only to feel that the place where they were fighting, the sky was dark, the air was twisting, bringing a violent wind, and they were abused in all directions.
For a while, the sand flew away, and Jin Ge played, which made the onlookers dizzy.
