Chapter 5: Alarmist
Pengcheng official road
Lu Bu has been hiding here for two days, and judging from the news from the spying, Cao Jun's grain and grass will pass through here today.
"Prince, it's not good."
Lu Zhong hurriedly reported: "There has just been a spy report, and Cao Jun is ready to break the water of Yisi. ”
Lu Bu frowned, whether to turn around to rescue or continue to wait, he began to waver, under the flood beast, it was difficult for Xiapi to protect himself.
If the grain and grass were not robbed, but lost Xiapi, this would not be worth the loss, I hope Chen Gong did not take his reminder as a deaf ear, and flooding Pi is the fate of Lu Bu's death.
Just when I was full of ambition, there was finally movement.
"Report, Qi Yu Junhou, Cao Jun is here, Cao Jun is here."
Lu Bu sighed to the sky: "The sky will not die, I Lu Bu." ”
"Pass my order, as soon as the order sounds, all the departments will act according to the plan, and no one shall get away with it, and those who violate the order will be killed."
"No"
The winter weather is hazy and hazy, and on the official road, Cao Junhaohao soup is open, and there are hundreds of grain and grass baggage.
This is Cao Cao's lifeblood.
The jungle was full of birds, and the shouts of killing broke through the air.
"Quick, meet the enemy."
The marching commander shouted loudly, so that he never expected that there were still people in Xuzhou who dared to hijack grain and grass, and he was afraid that he would really die.
A horse fell from the sky, the whole body was like charcoal fire, a person on horseback, wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, hanging a Xichuan red cotton flower robe, wearing a beast face swallowing head chain armor, waist armor with exquisite lion belt, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd.
"It's not good, it's Lu Bu, run away...!"
The marching commander almost fell off his horse, and died of depression in his heart, and in the face of this killing god, he could only flee or die.
"Kill!"
Cao Jun was caught off guard by the soldiers who rushed out from all directions, coupled with the incompetence of the commander's turmoil, there was no way to resist at all, and in less than half an hour, the dead and wounded were clean.
The commander of the march was escorted to Lu Bu, and looked at Lu Bu in horror and said: "I am Xiahou Jie, the prince of the prime minister's family, and the prince spares his life!" ”
"What, you are Xiahou Jie, the Xia Houjie who was frightened by Zhang Fei and fell off his horse to death!"
Lu Bu was speechless for a while, and said: "You actually know Benhou, as long as you pass a word to Cao Cao, you will let your dog die." ”
When Xiahou Jie heard that he could live, he hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "I am willing to serve the prince." ”
Lu Bu paused for a moment, and said: "You can remember, you told Cao Cao that there is no trouble from hunger after ten defeats and ten victories, although Xiapi is good, it is not as happy as Xu Du, if he does not retreat, I will help Yuan Benchu to send troops to Xu Du and make him homeless." ”
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu kicked Xia Houjie and said with a smile: "Get out!" ”
Xiahou Jie's wild dogs rolled around, without the slightest anger, and only ran away after thanking him.
But in the face of so much grain, Lu Bu was worried, thought hard, and had to order the soldiers to hide most of the grain and grass in the nearby woods, leaving a small part of the remaining avenues to be burned to hide people's eyes and ears.
As for the return of the embankment, it is too late to stop Cao Cao from breaking the embankment, and a dilapidated Xuzhou will somewhat make Cao Cao feel at ease, so that he can take a breath.
Xiapi City
Zhang Liao felt more and more tired, Cao's army attacked the city for several days, and the soldiers' physical strength was simply unbearable, if it wasn't for the glorious escort to fill it, I am afraid that the city would have been broken.
"General Wenyuan, why did Cao Jun retreat?"
Chen Gong climbed the city tower and watched a small way, and his heart was restless.
Zhang Liao also shook his head and said: "The last general also feels strange, these two days have been a feint, but another military camp has been built on the hillside. ”
Chen Gong looked far away, and there was really a large camp rising from the hillside.
"It's not good, Cao Jun is going to break the embankment!"
Chen Gong was shocked, Lu Bu specially instructed before leaving, and he almost forgot that the water of Yisi was enough to make Xiapi a swamp, but now even if he knew that Cao Jun was going to break the embankment, he couldn't take the initiative to attack, but he was in a hurry.
Zhang Liao said: "If you don't want to lead the troops out of the city to block." ”
Chen Gong said carefully: "It's late, I'm afraid that the general will only go out half a step, and the Cao army will be killed, so why don't you order the soldiers to step up the repair of the city and build a raft." ”
At this point, there is no choice.
"I don't know what happened to the prince? It's been five days and there's no news at all! ”
Both of them were secretly worried, and they didn't know if Lu Bu had escaped by himself.
It was difficult for anyone to speak, and when the two were silent, far, far away, thick smoke billowed through the sky, like a black dragon, constantly devouring the sky.
After a while, the smoke spread to the sky above Xiapi, and the two of them were overjoyed at the same time, which was Lu Bu's signal that all the efforts these days were worth it.
Chen Gong was the first to speak: "The great matter of the prince has been accomplished, but this Yisi water has to be guarded against, so I will leave first." ”
……
That night, Cao Jun's camp
Xiahou Jie was taken into the camp with injuries, knelt timidly in front of Cao Cao, and cried: "Prime Minister, the Lu thief led the troops to rob the grain and grass, and the last general resisted desperately, but the enemy army was strong, so this is ......"
Cao Cao rose up in a rage, pulled out the sword behind him, split the table in front of him with a sword, and scolded bitterly: "You useless man, if you lose your food and grass, you still have the face to come in front of you, and you will be killed." ”
Cao Cao jumped up, and his long sword went straight down, straight to Xiahou Jie's chest.
Xia Houjie was stunned and shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, spare your life!" ”
"Prime Minister, wait, Guo Jia still has a few words to ask General Xiahou."
Cao Cao put away his sword, looked back at Guo Jia and said unhappily: "Feng Xiao wants to intercede for him?" ”
Guo Jia hurriedly replied: "Prime Minister is angry, this matter is full of suspicions, and it is not too late to kill after I understand it, and I still need General Xiahou to answer me a few questions." ”
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Xiahou Jie, if you don't want your wife and children to be martyred for you, answer truthfully." ”
Xiahou Jie's three souls lost two souls, and now he has no chance to live, so he can only hope that Cao Cao will remember his relatives and let his wife and children go.
"In the end, there will be a crime, a capital crime, and I hope the prime minister will let the family go."
Xiahou Jie pleaded bitterly.
Cao Cao said with a black face: "The rest of the people are waiting outside the tent!" ”
After everyone retreated, Guo Jia opened his mouth and asked: "Why did General Xiahou conclude that the person who robbed the grain was Lu Bu and not a rogue, and it can be seen that Lu Bu himself?" ”
"Seeing with his own eyes, Lu Bu also let the sin general bring a word to the prime minister."
Guo Jia hurriedly asked: "Report truthfully!" ”
Xiahou Jie replied: "Lu Bu said: Ten defeats and ten victories will not have the trouble of being hungry, although Xiapi is good, it is not as happy as Xu Dulai, if he does not withdraw from the army, I will help Yuan Benchu to send troops to Xu Du and make him homeless." ”
Guo Jia was stunned and almost fell, but it took him a while to come back to his senses and ask, "How many soldiers and horses does Lu Bu have?" ”
"No less than 2,000"
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao glared angrily and said: "Xiahou Jie, it's not that you can't tolerate you alone, but you are extremely evil, after you die, I will transfer your wife and children from the house." ”
Now it's not a matter of grain and grass, once the news spreads, the entire Xu capital may have to shake the mountains, and the theory of ten defeats and ten wins is even more secret, how can Lu Bu know.
"Prime Minister Xie Cheng's great grace"
After Xia Houjie knelt down to thank him, he committed suicide.
Guo Jia admonished: "Prime Minister, without further ado, you should make a decision. ”
Cao Cao's expression was abrupt, and he laughed and said: "Lonely's head wind is actually better, someone has come to let Xu Chu come in." ”
"Xu Chu, are you guilty?"
In the face of Cao Cao's questioning, the monk of Xu Chu and Zhanger was puzzled, and Mu Ne knelt down and said: "The minister is guilty, please punish the prime minister!" ”
Looking at Xu Chu, Cao Cao was angry and funny, how could he be an anti-thief and a traitor.
Guo Jia opened his mouth to explain: "General Xu Chu can remember that when he sent troops to attack Xuzhou, I set ten defeats and ten victories with the prime minister. ”
Xu Chu searched hard and replied: "There is such a thing, but a certain family is standing outside the door on duty, and he can't hear or remember it at all." ”
Cao Cao said angrily: "Useless things, you know that drinking makes brute force, punish you for not drinking alcohol for a month, and there are spies in the house, and the secret of Lone and Fengxiao's talk is actually known by Lu Bu, and you are limited to find out to Lone within half a month, otherwise you will go and feed the horse to Lone." ”
Only then did Xu Chu know that something had happened, clenched his fists and said: "A certain family wants to cut the spy with a thousand knives." ”
Xu Chu retreated, and Guo Jiacai asked: "Is the water of Yisi bursting the embankment?" ”
Cao Cao said coldly: "Break the embankment and release the water, order Xiahoudun to garrison the camp, waiting for the opportunity to move, and the rest of the generals will drive back to Xudu overnight." ”
lost the grain and grass, Cao Cao had to retreat, Lu Bu absconded, even if he broke the Xiapi, it was meaningless, and what was even more terrifying was how Lu Bu learned about the theory of ten defeats and ten victories, this is like a sharp sword hanging in Cao Cao's heart, if he really let him join forces with Yuan Shao, Xu Du is really dangerous.
But even so, he wants Lu Bu to take care of one thing and lose the other, once the water of Yisi is opened, Xiapi will become an ocean, and he will not be able to get up without two or three years of recuperation.
Guo Jia said again: "It's better to watch the car and stay in Xiaopei in case of emergency." ”
As for Liu Bei, who has been active recently, he doesn't dare to let Cao Cao use it, this guy will have trouble sooner or later, or bring him back to Xu Du and let Cao Cao suppress him.
Cao Cao promised, the military order was reached, and the army marched overnight.
