In September of the third year of Jian'an, a fire in Juye completely defeated Gao Shun's army, Zhang Liao was wounded and went west, trapped in the camp and was killed and wounded, and Gao Shun himself was captured by Gan Ningsheng, the situation in Xuzhou suddenly took a sharp turn, and Cao Ang sent troops to Xiaopei to take the city overnight when Lu Bu and others did not react.

To the west of Juye, under the city of Xiaopei. Xiaopei City is located in the southwest of Xuzhou City, which is an important town in the main city of Xuzhou to block the west. Although it is not big, it is easy to get into the needle, and if you don't pay attention, you will be pierced next to Xuzhou City.

Cao Ang looked up at the not towering city tower under the support of Xu Yi and a number of generals, and now there are no generals in the city, and this city can be regarded as a bag. But seeing that behind Cao Ang, a group of heavily armed siege soldiers were already ready to wait, lined up in a neat phalanx, stepping on neat steps, and surging towards the head of Xiaopei City under the command of Li Dian, like a torrent of steel, which swept the entire Xiaopei City in an instant.

"General..."Cao Ang turned around to look, but Sima Yi didn't know when he hit a horse and came behind him, "Zhongda, when do you think this Xiaopeicheng can be launched?" Sima Yi glanced lightly at Xiao Pei, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, Cao Hong had already taken the lead, strode into the city, and beheaded more than ten people in a row. Not an hour at most. ”

Cao Ang nodded, and Sima Yi continued: "General, Liu Bei is still alive" "I already know about this, where is Liu Bei now?" Sima Yi said: "I am leading the remnants on the way to Xiaopei." ”

Looking at the soldiers of Cao who had already occupied the head of Xiaopei City, Cao Ang was puzzled: "It's just that I don't understand, why didn't Liu Bei die?" Sima Yi sighed and said, "He didn't go out of the valley, but rushed straight into the valley against the fire... It's remarkable. ”

"Leave it to death and live again?" Cao Ang looked up at the sky, and said for a while: "Order the whole army, after entering the city in a while, but those who disturb the people and take the people's property without permission will be killed!" After entering the city, a curfew was issued, and the people in the whole city were ordered not to go out at night, and each family was self-controlled. "It will take a few days before Cao Cao's army comes, and if Lu Buruo knows that Cao's army vanguard Yitun and Xiaopei will come to attack, and what Cao Ang has to do during this period is to hold on to Xiaopei City and wait for the army to enter Xuzhou.

Sima Yi turned his horse when he heard the order, but suddenly heard Cao Angyan say: "In addition, after entering the city, let Shi Jian come to see me quickly." ”

In an hour of bloody fighting, Cao Ang's army quickly captured Xiaopei City, so, Xuzhou's horns were opened a gap, just waiting for Cao Cao to come, you can gather the whole army and Lu Bu decisive battle, Cao Ang entered the city after the grace and power, neither allowed the soldiers to take the people's property, but also issued a curfew to strictly prohibit the whole city, neither disturbing the people nor indulgence, firmly controlled the entire Xiaopei City.

Just after settling down the army, Xiahoudun came to Xiaopei Zhengya with the support of the left and right, because the wound on the nose bone needed to be bandaged, so at this time Xiahoudun's eyes were covered by silk cloth, as if he was blind, Cao Ang was arranging the camps in front of the government at this time, and when he saw Xiahoudun coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Uncle, why don't you rest well, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiahou raised his head and said in a loud voice: "You did a good job, when Ben was injured, when the morale was unstable, you set up the heart of the army and Russia, and broke Gao Shun and Xu Yu outside, and captured Xiaopei City, which was too unexpected for me!" With the rear general in charge, I am completely relieved, and I will go back."

After that, he turned around and walked away under the guidance of the people, and said in a loud voice as he walked: "Generals! During the period of recuperation, I am unable to move, don't alarm me with something, with the rear general, our army is very stable! ”

When the generals heard this, their faces showed a look of relief and excitement, and Cao Ang also sighed secretly in his heart, don't look at Xiahoudun blindfolded and came over a few words, but it is very useful to stabilize the army's heart, one is to pay the general's power to Cao Ang in public, dispelling the doubts in the generals' hearts, and the other is to stabilize the army's heart, so that the whole army knows that he Xiahoudun is still firmly behind everyone, once the situation is in crisis, he will stand up when the whole army needs it most!

Just after everything in Xiaopeicheng was pacified and repaired, Liu Bei had already led his remnants to Xiaopeicheng, and after Cao Ang received the letter, he immediately led the generals out of the city to greet him.

Looking at Liu Bei, who came from afar, embarrassed and burned, and listless, Cao Ang held back a thick smile, took two steps forward and said in surprise: "Liu Gong, you are finally back, why are you like this?"

As soon as Cao Ang's words fell, he suddenly felt an alarm in his heart, but when he heard the sudden sound of the horse's hooves, the green dragon knife was sharp and bright, and he came straight to Cao Ang with a murderous aura, "I x your mother!" Subconsciously, Cao Ang actually said a swear word in the future, and then retreated.

"Dang!" I saw that the huge iron halberd and the Pu knife held up the Qinglong knife that was chopping, and then separated in an instant, but I saw that Dian Manxu Yi was all damp. Hong Lian took a few steps back, and Guan Yu, who was about to kill Cao Ang with a knife, sat on the horse with a blank face, obviously without the slightest effect, but the anger in his eyes seemed to leak into his heart, it was a kind of peerless 'arrogance' after being humiliated by others!

"Bold!" Seeing that all the generals behind Cao Ang showed their weapons, and the killing intent in his eyes was full of murderous intent, Liu Bei suddenly turned over and dismounted, cried and bowed to the ground: "Generals, the younger brother is invisible, and he takes the authority of the general, and he wishes to die on behalf of his younger brother to relieve the anger of the general, and also to pay tribute to the brothers who were burned to death in Juye." ”

As soon as Liu Bei's voice fell, the faces of all the generals were a little unnatural, Cao Ang ordered the fire to ambush Gao Shun's military horses, no matter how he said it, he couldn't help but be sorry for Liu Bei, and now he heard that Liu Bei wanted to follow the soldiers who died in Juye, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and some people even looked at Cao Ang suspiciously, expressing their incomprehension.

"Liu Gong, what do you mean by this?" Cao Ang ignored everyone's doubts and Guan Yu Zhang Fei's murderous gaze, "In the battle of Juye, didn't Duke Liu see the person Ang sent to lead you?" Liu Bei burst into tears, and then slowly shook his head.

Cao Ang's face changed suddenly, and then he shouted angrily: "Where is Shi Lian!" I saw Shi Jian come out when he heard the words and said: "The last general, Shi Lian, listened to the general's departure." Cao Ang turned his head and said angrily: "I ordered you to wait for Liu Gong outside the valley, why is there such a thing!" ”

Shi Jian said lightly: "The last general answered Liu Gong outside the valley that day, but he only saw Zhang Liao kill out, and followed him into the valley to find each other, but he never thought that Liu Gong would go forward in flames, and the last general couldn't stop it, and was blocked by Zhang Liao's soldiers, so... Please, General! ”

Liu Bei didn't speak when he heard this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei gritted their teeth angrily, this Cao Ang is young, but his face is too thick, for such a ridiculous reason, he can even find someone to make up an outlet!

I saw Zhang Feibao's eyes wide, and he couldn't scrape Cao Ang alive, Guan Yu's eyes flashed violently, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but suddenly he saw Liu Bei shaking his head slightly without a trace

And Cao Ang didn't seem to see it, just stared at Shi Jian silently for a long time, and suddenly said: "Although Shi Lian is at fault, but this matter is all due to Cao's poor deployment, and he changed General Li Dian in battle, according to military regulations, what crime should be punished?" ”

But seeing that Li Dian's body shook slightly, he hesitated for a while and said: "Hui Yu General, the general is the commander, how can you be guilty..."Cao Ang waved his hand to interrupt his words: "The commander is General Xiahou, Cao Ang is only a deputy general, I ask you now, what is the crime of poor deployment, causing the same army to suffer!" ”

"Kill!" When Li Dian said a word, everyone present was shocked, and before they could react, they saw Cao Ang stretch out his hand and pull out the sword at his waist, "General!" Dian Man Xu Yi was shocked, and was about to turn around to grab the sword, but saw Cao Ang holding the sword across his neck, "You two take a break!" ”

After slowly looking at it for a week, Cao Angfang said softly: "Since my father started the army, the military rules must be certain, no matter who should obey them, I am the son of the Cao family, and I should defy the law and not violate the military order!" Today, Cao Ang will use his life to give Liu Gong justice! ”

At this time, Liu Bei's remaining soldiers, as well as the foot soldiers who accompanied Cao Ang out of the city to greet him, added up to no less than thousands of eyes staring at Cao Ang who was about to swing his sword and kill himself, only to see Li Dian and the others looking frightened, cold sweat flowing, although Dian Man Xu Yi panicked, but he was restrained and did not dare to step forward. And Liu Bei was still kneeling on the ground, not moving.

The autumn wind was swaying, but seeing Cao Ang step forward, his hand was already moving slightly, and suddenly saw the chief manager Sima Yi out of the class and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "General, since ancient times, the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, the law is not respected, this Xiahou General is seriously injured, it is difficult to manage military affairs, the general commands the three armies as the front, how can he kill himself?" Xiaopeicheng is new, and Lu Bu is not willing to rest. If the general dies, where will the three armies be placed? Where is the country's major affairs? The general's move is really a sacrifice of great righteousness and small righteousness, and he is not praised by the heroes of the world. ”

"Think twice, general!" Seeing that both the generals and soldiers outside the city knelt down, Liu Bei also raised his head, hid the resentment and hatred in his eyes, and instantly changed his face to a sincere and moved face, "The general is noble, and I am deeply admired!" I also hope that the general will focus on the overall situation, and if the general kills himself, then Bei should also follow and return to Huangquan! ”

After looking at everyone who knelt on the ground (except Guan Yu and Zhang Fei), Cao Ang hesitated for a while and said, "Since this is the case, I will avoid death." Then he pulled out a piece of hair and put his sword on it: "But my father has always been like a mountain, Cao Ang can be exempted from the death penalty, but he should also cut his hair and act as the head!" ”

The Han Dynasty had a saying that "the body is skinned, and the parents are received", so the hair will never be cut, and now Cao Ang used this trick to learn from his father 'cutting the hair on behalf of the head', which can be regarded as giving Liu Bei enough face, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't help but wonder, could it be that this matter is really as Shi Lian said?

Liu Bei was actually clear in his heart, but he also said with a formal face: "The general is really admirable!" Looking at Liu Bei, who was happy and convinced on the surface, Cao Ang sneered in his heart: Isn't it just hair, the master doesn't care! As long as I can fix you, I am willing to cut a 'stuck tooth'! In this way, a few days later, the matter of Cao Ang's cutting of the law spread all over the army, and for a while, it was even a good story in the army.

Xuzhou City Lu Mansion - "Wen Hou, the last will be a capital crime!" But seeing Zhang Liao, who was covered in blood, kneeling on the ground, his face was stained with tears and blood, and he was obviously physically exhausted and crumbling, but he still insisted on not letting himself fall.

"General Zhang..."Hao Meng, who was also a member of the Eight Athletic Generals with Zhang Liao, looked at the scarred Zhang Liao, and was about to go up to help, when he suddenly heard the first voice say indifferently: "Don't help him", his voice was majestic and slightly hoarse.

The man who spoke, about forty years old, tall and tall, with a straight nose and a wide mouth, a rough but beardless appearance, a broad forehead high and raised, his deep black eyes like a cheetah, cold and deep, when closed, the light shot out of the forest was chilling, and a cinnabar mole the size of a grain of rice on the right side of the nose was unforgettable.

"Wenhou..."Hao Meng turned his head to speak, but saw Lu Bu raise his hand to block his words, and the majestic voice sounded again: "Zhang Liao, are you injured?" Zhang Liao heard the words and said: "Yes"

"Heavy?" Zhang Liao raised his head when he heard this: "Such a small injury, what can I do!" Lu Bu smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth: "If that's the case, why do you want to cry?" Zhang Liao hesitated when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.

But seeing Lu Bu get up suddenly, he then pulled out the saber on his waist and threw it in front of Zhang Liao: "Now give you two ways, or, as you just said, take the sword and go out to lead your capital crime... Or, stand up by yourself and report the Xiaopei war to the general in a dignified manner! ”

The hall was silent for a long time, and when he was young, he suddenly saw Zhang Liao get up suddenly, and his demeanor was resolute and suitable: "The last general Zhang Liao, there is something to report!" Lu Bu's face did not change, and he said with his forehead: "Speak"

After listening to Zhang Liao's report on the battles in Xiaopei and Juye, he saw an imperceptible light flash in Lu Bu's starry eyes, and he was quiet for a while before he said in a deep voice: "There are many stubborn people in the world, like sheep on the grassland, gathering a large flock, and they want to compete with wolves, but no matter how many sheep there are, they are still sheep, and no matter how serious the wolf's injury is, he will still be a wolf after all, yes, wolf!" ”

Then Lu Bu got up suddenly, looked at Zhang Liao with a pair of sharp eyes, and said: "Zhang Wenyuan, you said, when I was going to train my own horse, why did you name it 'wolf riding'?" Zhang Liao said word by word: "The wolf rider in Bingzhou is a fine rider under the command of Wen Hou, tenacious, as long as there is still a breath, he will swear to die with the enemy!" Hence the wolf's name"

Lu Bu nodded slowly and said, "But, the head wolf under Ben General actually shed tears?" Isn't it ridiculous? I saw Zhang Liao striding and clasping his fists and said: "The last general will know his mistake!" ”

Lu Bu nodded lightly, raised his head and said coldly: "Remember, tears are a woman's thing, don't let me see it a second time." Tomorrow, the whole army will go out to fight and take back the shame given to us by the Cao thief! ”
