Chapter 281: Means
It was precisely because of the words that the loyal ministers did not serve the second master, so Lu Bu was directly scolded as a slave with the third surname. However, Cao Xing is a little puzzled, Lu Bu only defected to three people at most, the first is Ding Yuan, the second is Dong Zhuo, maybe Liu Bei will also be counted as half, after all, Lu Bu has also been under Liu Bei for a period of time, but Lu Bu is the opposite in the end.
Of course, the first two people Lu Bu defected to, Lu Bu recognized others as his father-in-law as soon as he came, but in the end, he clicked all his father-in-law, which is certainly worthy of being spurned by the world.
But then again, there are many people in history who defected to Liu Bei, first defected to Gongsun Zhan, fought against the Yellow Turban together, and then defected to Tao Qian, Tao Qian finally gave up Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and as a result, Liu Bei lost Xuzhou to Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu defeated Liu Bei, Liu Bei was not discouraged at all, and directly regarded himself as a person who surrendered to Cheng, and threw himself into Lu Bu again, and Lu Bu also accepted Liu Bei.
However, later, Liu Bei naturally turned against Lu Bu and joined Cao Cao's camp, and later Liu Bei went to Yuan Shao because of the incident of the edict.
It is said that Liu Biao also had a handful of snot and tears before he died, begging Liu Bei to accept his Jingzhou, but because of the disagreement within the Liu Biao group, most of Jingzhou eventually fell into the hands of Cao Cao.
Liu Bei had no choice but to run again, and later went to help his Han clan relative Liu Zhang, but in the back, Yizhou became his Liu Bei's territory.
In this way, Liu Bei defected to no less people than Lu Bu, Lu Bu always killed the king and his father every time he defected to others, and every time he Liu Bei defected to others, he would have a characteristic, that is, others begged to give him their own territory, and these two people did have some similarities.
So for Liu Bei's surrender, Cao Xing can only hehe, he is really a little afraid, one day he will be seriously ill inexplicably, and then cry and beg to give up the state to Liu Bei, at that time Cao Xing really lost a lot, so Cao Xuan naturally refused.
After sending Jian Yong away again, Cao Xuan was not in the mood anymore, and asked Chen Hu and the others to go back, and then called Xiao Man in, blew out the candles and rested.
Early the next morning, Cao Xing got up early in the morning and immediately gathered all the generals to prepare to launch a fatal blow against Pingyuan County.
Now even though Cao Xing is in a wheelchair, he still lets Chen Hu push him to the front and watch the battle in person.
It's just that Cao Xuan looked at it, but felt that something was wrong, today's defense of Pingyuan County seems to be a little weak, and it can even be described as vulnerable, the sergeants at the head of the city, in the face of Pan Feng's leading soldiers, are completely unstoppable, and even those soldiers who defend the city later, one by one, put down their weapons and surrender on their knees.
Seeing this, Cao Xuan felt that something was wrong, and after Pan Feng climbed to the top of the city, he immediately opened the city gate, and Hu Che'er roared in directly with the cavalry, but it didn't take long for Hu Che'er to come back and say to Cao Xing.
"Lord, now their county government is already empty, and I directly asked the local county magistrate about Liu Bei's residence, but when I broke into Liu Bei's home, Liu Bei was no longer at home!"
"What!" Cao Xing's eyes widened after hearing this, but Hu Che'er still caught two members of Liu Bei's family this time.
Cao Xing asked the two family members when Liu Bei left, and the two family members were already trembling with fear at the moment, so they had to answer truthfully.
One of the family members told Cao Xuan that Liu Bei appeared to have left in the middle of the night.
The other family seemed to know more, he told Cao Xing that he clearly saw Liu Bei find Jian Yong first yesterday, but Jian Yong had just left Liu Bei, and ordered someone to immediately recruit Zhang Fei Guan Yu, and the three of them had been waiting in the room until Jian Yong came back, Liu Bei immediately left.
After Cao Xing heard these words, he looked at the sky, his eyes looked a little confused, after all, he still underestimated this heroic Liu Bei in history.
Who is Liu Bei? That's a person who doesn't joke with his life no matter what happens, he can't put all the weight on it, Cao Xuan will agree to his surrender, he made two preparations as soon as he came, let Jian Yong go to Cao Xuan first.
At that time, the feeling to Cao Xuan was that Liu Bei was desperate, so he came to surrender, Cao Xuan naturally refused, and then Cao Xuan also subconsciously didn't think much about it.
However, I didn't expect that at this juncture, Liu Bei actually slipped away, although Cao Xing arranged cavalry outside, but the cavalry also needed to rest, it was impossible to keep circling the plain 24 hours a day, Liu Bei may have let the military at the head of the city, put it down the hanging basket and walked, or it may have gone by other means, in short, he walked unconsciously, and now Cao Xing can no longer find anyone.
In the end, Cao Xing could only nod his head and admit it, in fact, this time he had two chances to kill Liu Bei, the first time was the arrow, which was caught by Zhang Fei, and the second time was to attack Pingyuan County, but Liu Bei ran away again.
Should Cao Xing say that this is Liu Bei's ability, or Liu Bei's luck? But after thinking about it carefully, Cao Xuan was relieved.
"If Liu Bei really died so early, then is the Three Kingdoms still interesting!"
Anyway, anyway, now that Cao Xing has laid down Pingyuan County, he can't help but do something, and immediately Cao Xuan found Zhang Yan and Pan Feng, and now Pingyuan County is already theirs, but Pingyuan County is still far away from Bingzhou.
It is impossible for Cao Xing to directly intervene and rush here, so Pingyuan County will be temporarily handed over to Zhang Yan and Pan Feng for disposal, Zhang Yan and Pan Feng can spread eyeliner in it to prepare for the future, but there is one thing, that is, it is not allowed to rob the people, if Cao Xuan knows, Cao Xing will not be spared. And Zhang Yan and Pan Feng also nodded after hearing this, anyway, now that they have Cao Xing's support, they don't lack anything, so why do they want to do that kind of thing?
Then Cao Xuan took the army and prepared to return to Bingzhou, but it was precisely because of Liu Bei's incident that Cao Xing's itinerary was somewhat delayed, and this delay caused the problem.
Yuan Shao's side, it seems that he also learned the news of Liu Bei's defeat very early, even if Yuan Shao has now been dragged by the war, but it is still the root of Cao Xing's hatred, he raised the power of Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan fought this battle, but the fight was really difficult, and even in Yuan Shao's view, there were several opportunities to annihilate Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop, but it was this Cao Xing who constantly harassed him in the rear, cut off his grain route, and disturbed his military spirit, so he was unable to take Gongsun Chan for a long time.
Now that Cao Xuan wants to leave, how can he let Cao Xuan get his wish, it is naturally impossible for him to directly send a large army to encircle and intercept Cao Xing, but this time he also made a bloody investment.
Cao Xing's army was driving on the road, but was ambushed by waves of people.
This time it was Cao Xing's turn to have a headache, but there was no way, so he had to stumble and continue walking, once Cao Xing was on the way to the army, Cao Xing was sitting in a wheelchair and reading a book leisurely, but suddenly at this moment, Cao Xing felt wrong, his perennial military career honed his sharp sense, plus Cao Xing was originally born in Orion, so he was far more sensitive to ordinary weapons than ordinary people.
Cao Xing's hero-like gaze immediately stared at a soldier next to him, and when the soldier saw Cao Xing's eyes, he gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated, took out a blade from his waist, and killed Cao Xuan directly.
And when Cao Xing saw this scene, his whole heart also jumped, but he still quickly calmed down, looked at the direction of the short blade, and directly raised his book to block it, only to hear a loud bang, and the book was torn apart, but Cao Xing's hand also grabbed the assassin's hand.
In this short moment, the assassin did not succeed, which meant that he had lost, and Zhou Cang and the others hurriedly came up and pressed the assassin to the ground.
Cao Xuan asked Zhou Cang to help the soldier up, and he stared at the soldier with burning eyes and asked, "Why did you assassinate me?" Could it be that your life in the army is not satisfactory, or that I Cao Xing is not good to you! ”
However, after hearing Cao Xing's words, the soldier actually cried out with a wow. As a soldier under Cao Xing, there is wine and meat every day, eat and drink well, and even have military salaries to get every month, if you go out to win a battle and kill one or two enemy soldiers, the trajectory of your life will change, take a step back, even if you don't win this time, but as long as you win the battle, you can still get double the military salary, and all kinds of treatment are superior, in the entire Three Kingdoms period, it is absolutely unique.
And when the soldier thought of this, he also cried bitterly, he cried directly to Cao Xing: "Lord, lord, you are very good to us, but, but I am a person from Jizhou, my parents died early, so I came to Bingzhou to be a soldier, but I also have a sister in Jizhou, I have been dependent on him since I was a child, but Yuan Shao is my only sister and nephew all tied up, if, if I don't help him do things, my only relative in this world, I will leave me, lord, you kill me, I, but ask for a death!" ”
After listening to the soldier's cry, Mo said that it was Zhou Cang, Hu Che'er and others, and even Cao Xing was silent. Although the crimes committed by this soldier were enough to put him to death, Cao Xing also had to admit one thing, no matter who was changed to the same position as this soldier, it was estimated that they might not be able to do better than this soldier, this matter may not be right or wrong, it is just his own choice.
When the soldier's head fell to the ground, Cao Xuan also sighed helplessly, and then looked at Zhou Cang next to him and said: "Go and check, whether his sister is still alive in this world, if she is still alive in this world, treat this soldier as killed, and send the pension to his sister's hands!" ”
