PS: This book is coming to an end, and the old wolf's new book "Sealing the Devil" has continued to be signed, and the upload is imminent, please continue to support friends. )
On November 26, the ninth year of Chuping, this is a memorable day, Dong Zhuo's four major armies occupied Xiaopei, Lingbi, Huaiyin and Xiabil four cities, more than 600,000 troops surrounded Xuzhou City from all sides, and met in the enemy's base camp, as long as the last stronghold of Liu Bei's army was broken, Kang Peng could announce the end of the war and chaos in the Han Dynasty for 16 years, and unify China!
In fact, Liu Beijun's defenders in Xuzhou City were less than 40,000, and Dong Zhuojun could easily solve this group of demoralized enemies by taking a legion out, but Kang Peng deliberately let the four major legions work together to break through Xuzhou City with oppressive strength in order to deter Jiaozhou Shijia, Liaoxi Gongsun Du, Shanyue, Xiongnu, Karasuma, those small countries on the Korean Peninsula and other ambitious countries adjacent to China, so he deliberately let the four major legions work together to break through Xuzhou City with oppressive strength, and borrow Liu Bei's head to establish power!
At the moment when the four major armies met under the city of Xuzhou, Dong Zhuojun's whole army was boiling, and the wilderness became a sea of military flags for all armies and teams, and the sound of the soldiers cheering shook the heavens and the earth, and the sound reached hundreds of miles, and the comrades-in-arms who shared life and death hugged each other tightly, beating each other's bodies hard, shouting with tears of excitement, celebrating the upcoming reunification of China, and the laughter of the reunion after calling for brothers and brothers can be heard everywhere, or the crying of relatives after losing their comrades-in-arms. In stark contrast to the jubilant atmosphere of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, Liu Beijun's soldiers in Xuzhou City were all like ashes, and their legs were constantly trembling, knowing that the end was near.
The sky that has been raining for many days suddenly rains and the sky is clear, and the bright sunshine brings a trace of warmth to the cold earth in winter, and the sun is like water and water like the sky, as if the sky also wants to witness the glorious moment of ending the troubled times. On the periphery of Dong Zhuojun, the representatives of the labor corps from all over the country were bustling, including ordinary people, scholars, eunuchs, merchants, industrialists, langzhong, and so on, and so on.
In Dong Zhuo's marshal tent, Dong Zhuojun's dragon, eight tigers and nine generals met for the first time, and there were countless other generals, and you could often hear the name of Jiuyang, it turned out that you were the exclamation of the world-famous so-and-so, before Kang Peng did not come forward, Lu Bu also specially found Dong Zhuojun's first monster Hu Che'er to fight, as a result, the two of them barely won in the wrist-wrestling contest Hu Che'er, and Lu Bu was several times faster than Hu Che'er, although they won a game, but Dong Zhuojun's generals all knew that the one with the greatest strength in the battlefield was not advantageous, The key is the speed of the move, and Lu Bu is still a well-deserved number one general in the world.
"Quiet, the king is coming." I don't know who shouted, and the noisy handsome tent suddenly only left the sound of hurried footsteps, and Dong Zhuojun's generals returned to their positions, held their heads high, and strived to welcome Kang Peng's arrival with the best mental outlook. Under the gaze of Dong Zhuojun's hundreds of generals, Kang Peng, who was full of meat and face like the bottom of a pot, wore a crown on his head, wore a crown of Xuanyi and Zhu Shang, and walked out of the back tent with a big belly full of fat and oil, followed by Jia Xu, Lu Su, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and Xu Shu and other military advisers, only Tian Feng did not show up in the tent because he swore never to meet Kang Peng.
"King Chitose Chitose Chitose." Lu Bu and Jia Xu took the lead in shouting, taking the lead in giving Kang Peng a half-kneeling salute, and the other generals and civil officials shouted and saluted together, and in an instant, the handsome tent was densely packed and half-kneeling, Kang Peng laughed loudly, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Gentlemen, please get up, let Gu take a good look at you." ”
"King Xie." Dong Zhuojun's civil and military affairs rose in response, Kang Peng smiled and looked at his own generals and staff officers in front of him, everyone was happy, everyone was full of energy, and they all looked at Kang Peng with reverent eyes, Kang Peng nodded slightly and replied one by one, sighing in his heart, when he saw Lu Bu, Kang Peng couldn't help but sigh - because Lu Bu did not look at Kang Peng like everyone else, but glanced at Sima Yi with an angry face, Sima Yi was silent, Kang Peng understood in his heart, The battle for his own succession has been launched in advance among these two unfilial sons, when Sima Yi was in obscurity before, Lu Bu did not take Sima Yi in his eyes, and now Sima Yi took out his real skills to fight a decisive battle with his mortal enemy Zhuge Liang, and his exploits soared, and Lu Bu felt threatened, so he hated Sima Yi.
Kang Peng was about to speak, temporarily diverting Lu Bu's attention, lest anything unpleasant happen on this festive day. A herald suddenly came in and saluted Kang Peng: "Report to the king, the puppet king Liu Bei sent a messenger Sun Gan to the camp to ask to see the king." Kang Peng sneered, opened his broken gong throat and said, "Let him in." ”
In a moment, Sun Gan was brought by Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, and when he saw Dong Zhuojun's civil and military affairs standing full of handsome tents, Sun Gan couldn't help but be frightened, and wanted to give Kang Peng a half-kneeling salute, but seeing Dong Zhuojun's faces full of anger, especially Dong Chong had already grabbed the steel knife, Sun Gan was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed, and said: "King, the king of Runan has sent the gold and jade jewels of the whole city and the king's nobles and relatives to your army together with the princess of Runan, why did the king not believe his words and surrounded Xuzhou City?" ”
Before Sun Qian's words fell, and before Kang Peng could speak, Dong Chong, whose eyes were red, had already jumped out, gesturing with a steel knife and shouting: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang want to surrender and save their lives? Don't! I haven't asked them to settle the account in Yecheng back then! If you want to surrender, send the heads of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei first! ”
Sima Yi observed his words and looks, and saw that Kang Peng didn't care about Dong Chong's overstepping his authority, and knew that Kang Peng didn't want to accept Liu Bei's surrender, Sima Yi took the opportunity to curry favor with Dong Chong, who had a very high status in Dong Zhuo's army, and shouted: "Second uncle is reasonable, the puppet king Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's thieves have repeatedly violated Jiangnan for several years, owe a lot of blood debts, and don't share the sky with our army, how can our army accept Liu Bei's surrender?" The other generals of Dong Zhuo's army echoed one after another, all expressing their unwillingness to accept Liu Bei's surrender.
"Set foot in Xuzhou City! Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang slashed thousands of knives in front of the spirits of our soldiers, and comforted the souls of our soldiers who died in battle! It was Zhang Xiu who shouted this, and Liu Beijun's performance in Runan City made Zhang Xiu hate Liu Beijun to the core. Before Zhang Xiu's words fell, Hu Che'er beside him had already lifted the big iron rod and rushed towards Sun Gan with a strange scream, if his one hundred and eighty-five pound iron rod fell on Sun Gan, Sun Qian would have to turn into meat sauce on the spot.
"Stop." Kang Peng drank Hu Che'er and said to Sun Gan: "Go back and tell the hypocrite Liu Bei, let him wash his neck and wait for death." The lone soldier can spare him, the lone soldier will not spare him, even if the lone soldier can spare him, the heavens will not spare him, this is his own sin, he cannot live! Kang Peng waved his hand and shouted: "Get out!" ”
"Get out!" In the roar of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, Sun Gan fled from Dong Zhuojun's camp in embarrassment, stumbling back to Xuzhou City, the defenders of Xuzhou City looked at his expression, so frightened that they didn't even open the city gate, but just put the hanging basket down to hang Sun Gan to the city, for fear that the high-spirited Dong Zhuojun would take the opportunity to attack the city.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and others were waiting for Sun Gan's reply on the city wall, and after Sun Gan finished saying what Dong Zhuojun meant, Liu Bei's pale face suddenly turned to ashes, if it wasn't for his own soldiers, Liu Bei would have collapsed on the city wall, Zhuge Liang was no better, now more than 600,000 Dong Zhuojun has surrounded Xuzhou City like an iron bucket, Liu Beijun is cornered, Zhuge Liang is already regretting what he did in Jizhou back then, now even if Dong Zhuo Ai can take him in, Dong Chong and other Dong Zhuojun generals and soldiers will not let him go, In order to appease the army, Dong Zhuo will definitely endure the pain and hand himself over to Dong Zhuo's soldiers to deal with.
"My lord, this is the end of the matter." Tai Shi Ci said loudly: "Don't go and humiliate yourself in a low voice, let's have a vigorous battle with Dong Thief, even if you die in battle, you will die a glorious death!" Tai Shici's words were only echoed by Chen Zhi and Mi Zhu, and Liu Beijun's generals were silent, and the heads that Dong Zhuojun named were only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, which means that in addition to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Dong Zhuojun may still accept the surrender of others.
Liu Bei saw the strange expressions of the generals, and he couldn't guess their intentions, so he nodded weakly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhuge Xian's nephew, Ziyi, Shuzhi, and Zizhong, you can discuss the layout of the enemy's policy, I'm tired and want to rest for a while." After speaking, Liu Bei went back to the palace with his own soldiers, and the other Liu Beijun civil and military forces scattered with a bang, leaving Zhuge Liang and Tai Shici and other four people on the city wall.
After Mi Fang, who had long been holding the intention of surrendering Dong Zhuojun, returned home, the first thing he did was to find the family who had sent a letter to Kang Peng, Mi Fang did not know that his family went out of the city and Dong Zhuojun secretly communicated with Liu Bei and others had been known, and thought that Liu Bei had sent someone to surrender directly, so he found the Gan family in front of him and sent it to Dong Zhuojun. Mi Fang just wrote another letter of surrender, agreeing that the second watch that night would steal the west gate of Xuzhou City and dedicate the city to Dong Zhuojun.
As soon as the sky fell, Mi Fang's family shot Mi Fang's book with arrows down the city wall, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers had already picked it up, flew into the tent, and handed it to Kang Peng, Kang Peng was silent after reading the book, Jia Xu, who had been with Kang Peng, wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Kang Peng's order, Kang Peng ordered: "Go and call Lone's righteous sons Lu Bu and Sima Yi, don't alarm other generals." ”
After a while, Lu Bu and Sima Yi arrived, and after the two of them made a father-son ceremony, Kang Peng showed the letter of surrender from Mi Fang, Kang Peng smiled softly and said: "Fengxian, Zhongda, there is good news for you, Liu Bei's wife-in-law Mi Fang agreed to steal the city gate tonight and dedicate Xuzhou City to Gu, and Xuzhou City was broken tonight." ”
"Congratulations to my father, thanks to my father's blessing, I can break Xuzhou so quickly." Lu Bu and Sima Yi were overjoyed, and slapped their in unison, and at the same time, Lu Bu glared at Sima Yi fiercely.
Kang Peng couldn't help but look at the expressions of the two godsons, and a mysterious smile appeared on his ugly face, "Do you know why Lone called you to tell about this?" Why don't you call other generals alone. ”
"I don't know." Sima Yi replied in fear, but Lu Bu laughed, first scolded Sima Yi for being stupid, and then kowtowed to Kang Peng: "This is the father's love for the child, breaking Xuzhou, is the last battle to unify the world, the final credit, and the greatest credit, of course the father will not give this credit to outsiders, but to leave it to the child." ”
"Feng Xian has grown." Kang Peng praised Lu Bu, patted his forehead, and said as if he was very sad: "Lone is over sixty years old, old, I'm afraid I won't live for a few years, in this world, you will still be young in the future, but I'm afraid that you are young and will not be able to restrain the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under Lone in the future. Speaking of this, Kang Peng burst into tears and choked up: "Can you understand Lonely's good intentions?" ”
"Father, the child understands, the child understands." Lu Bu and Sima Yi cried loudly and kowtowed. Especially Lu Bu was ecstatic in his heart, listening to the old man's tone, this world will not be passed on to his biological son in the future, but to him or Sima Yi! Lu Buxin said, "No wonder the old man doesn't pass on the throne to his son, his own son is not even ten years old, he kicks his legs, who will obey his own son?" At least Ben Hou was the first to disagree! Since the old man is so smart, Ben Hou will also take care of his son in the future, at least he will be crowned an iron hat king, which can be regarded as repaying the old man. ”
"Each of you will take 10,000 troops and go to Xuzhou City tonight." Kang Peng choked up and said: "Let's discuss, see who is the pioneer and who responds, you are all Lone's own sons, the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, Lone doesn't want you to say that Lone is eccentric." ”
"Big brother, little brother is young, and his merits are shallow." As soon as Kang Peng's words fell, Sima Yi couldn't wait to say to Lu Bu: "Please let the younger brother take the position of a pioneer, and the younger brother will definitely repay the eldest brother well in the future." ”
"Second brother, your martial arts are sparse, and you have little experience in battle." Lu Bu's face was full of seriousness, and he said seriously: "It is very dangerous to enter the city late at night, so let the experienced big brother take the lead, and you will answer from behind." ”
"Big brother, it's because of the danger that the younger brother fights with the eldest brother." Sima Yi burst into tears, grabbed Lu Bu's hand and choked up: "Big brother, you are the number one general under your father, if there is a mistake, the three armies will be shaken, the younger brother Wen will not be able to settle the country, and the military will not be able to determine the country, even if it is in danger, but the towering giant tree will fall a leaf and the granary will go to a mile, it will not matter." ”
Sima Yi said sincerely, crying to death, Lu Bu couldn't help but burst into tears, shook Sima Yi's hand and said: "Brother, you are still young, because you are young, so the eldest brother wants to rob you, the eldest brother is also in his early forties, and he has already stepped into the loess with one leg, but you have just turned twenty ......." ”
Lu Bu and Sima Yi cried for a long time, everyone wanted to be a pioneer, and no one could convince anyone, and finally Sima Yi gritted his teeth, got up and begged for a pen and paper, wrote two lots, pinched them in front of Lu Bu, and said with tears: "Big brother, since we can't argue, it's better to cast lots, whoever gets the pioneer will go to the city first, please big brother first." ”
Lu Bu glanced at Sima Yi suspiciously, Kang Peng used this trick to trap Wei Yan back then, but Lu Bu thought about it, if he got the answer, he could force this kid to open another lot, and he didn't dare to play tricks. Thinking of this, Lu Bu silently prayed in his heart, and finally grabbed a lot, opened it, but it was the word 'pioneer'.
"Zhongda, this is God's will, you don't have to fight with your eldest brother." Sima Yi, who was like ashes opposite Kang Peng, comforted him, waved his hand and said: "You go down and prepare, tomorrow morning, I will give you a reward in Xuzhou City." Kang Peng said this, and Sima Yi, who was depressed, had nothing to say, and accompanied the happy Lu Bu to prepare.
After Lu Bu and Sima Yi left, Kang Peng also went back to take care of his niece Sister Gan, Jia Xu slowly picked up the unopened lot, opened it, and saw that the word 'pioneer' was also written on it, Jia Xu remained silent, received the two paper lots into his sleeve, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "Such a father and son, such a brother." ”
……
That night two watch, Lu Bu and Sima Yi led the army to the west gate of Xuzhou City, the two brothers did not even say a word of conversation to each other on the road, like strangers, just after the second watch, the city suddenly stretched out a torch, shook a few times under the city, the city gate opened quietly, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the inner gate of Xuzhou Urn City could be seen to be opened. At this time, the wilderness suddenly blew fiercely, flying sand and blowing stones, and the dust covered the sky, and it was almost impossible to reach out to the five fingers.
"Let's go!" Lu Bu patted the red rabbit horse, swung Fang Tian's halberd, and rushed to the city gate first, Lu Bu's troops followed closely, and Sima Yi's troops stood still according to the order, the howling wind covered the sound of the red rabbit horse's hooves, and in the dust, Sima Yi vaguely saw Lu Bu's golden crown disappearing into the Xuzhou city gate, and a hideous smile climbed up Sima Yi's delicate face.
"Kill!" Lu Bu had just entered the urn city in the outer city of Xuzhou, and the soldiers behind him had not yet entered, and suddenly there were murderous voices on the city wall, "Screen!" Shield! Shield! The loud noise continued, and the two gates in front and back of the urn city were blocked by huge stones and sassals at the same time, isolating Lu Bu and hundreds of Dong Zhuojun soldiers in the urn city, and at the same time throwing down countless torches, and the fire on the dry grass ground soaked in fire oil was everywhere, and the raging flames immediately swallowed Lu Bu's troops.
"I've been tricked!" This sentence became the last sentence of Lu Bu left in the world, and thousands of arrows in the city of Wengcheng fell on Lu Bu's head like a storm, and the poor generation of war gods were shot into hedgehogs by people and horses, and died in Xuzhou City at the last moment of unifying the world.
……
At the same moment, Kang Peng slowly walked out of the big tent, looking at the dark sky and sighing, his heart was heavy. Kang Peng said in his heart: "Lu Bu, that night you secretly let Geng Ji and Wei Huang go through your defense area, I don't blame you, you have made so many contributions to me, you don't want to live under people for a long time, and it is human nature to want to go further." It's not that I'm reluctant to pass on my position to you, it's just that I want to be responsible for the world and China, and you are really not the material for leading China to dominate the world. ”
"A standard military man, who fell in the last battle, is the glory of a military man. Go in peace, I'll take care of your family. Unconsciously, two lines of turbid tears rolled down Kang Peng's ugly face......
The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning fox dies, and the lackeys cook.
