Chapter 688: Cao Ang and Cao Pi
"At this time, there is no food in the city, but the old and weak soldiers and women can be sent out to surrender, Cao Cao will not be prepared, I will attack it with soldiers after the people." Xun Chen couldn't bear it, Li Fu shouted, the overall situation should be the most important at the moment, and the kindness of women will only harm big things. Xun Chen had no choice but to follow it.
The next day, a white flag was erected on the city, and it was written that 'the people of Jizhou surrendered'. A soldier came to report to Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw the conspiracy inside at a glance and said coldly.
"This must be that there is no food in the city, teach the old and weak people to surrender, and there will be soldiers in the future."
Cao Cao saw through his plan and taught Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to bring 3,000 troops each and lay down on both sides. Cao Cao rode a horse and Zhang Lugai to the city, and saw that the city gate was opened, and the people helped the old and the young, holding a white flag. The people were exhausted, and the soldiers and horses in the city rushed out suddenly.
Cao Cao had already been on guard, and the soldiers were taught a red flag move, and the Xiahou brothers and the two soldiers went out to kill indiscriminately, and the soldiers in the city had to return. Cao Cao rushed from Pegasus to the side of the suspension bridge, and the crossbow arrows in the city rained down, shooting at Cao Cao's helmet, almost penetrating the top. The generals returned to the battle in first aid.
Cao Cao changed his clothes and changed his horse, and even led the crowd to attack Yuan Shang Dazhai in the future, and Yuan Shang personally met the enemy. When all the armies and horses were killed together, the two armies were in a melee, Yuan Shang's soldiers were weak, which was the opponent of Cao Cao's tiger and wolf division, and was defeated by Cao's army. Yuan Shang led the defeated soldiers to retreat to Xishanxiazhai, and people urged Ma Yan and Zhang Yi's army to come. I don't know that Cao Cao has sent Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to recruit the second general. The second general came with Erlu to descend, and Cao was also named a liehou.
On the same day, the army marched to attack Xishan, and first made Erlu, Ma Yan, and Zhang Yi cut off Yuan Shang's grain road. Yuan Shang was shocked when he heard that the grain road was cut off, and he knew that Xishan couldn't hold it, so he walked indiscriminately at night. How do you know that the camp is undecided, the fire rises from all sides, the ambush soldiers come out together, the people are not as good as the armor, the horses are not as good as the saddle, and they are wantonly tortured and killed by the ambush army.
Yuan Shang's army was defeated, retreated fifty miles, and was extremely exhausted, and the soldiers and ministers all persuaded Yuan Shang to surrender. Yuan Shang was exhausted, and there was no hope at all, so he had to send an envoy to Cao Ying to ask for surrender. Cao Cao pretended to allow it, but he made Yu Ban and Le go in and rob the village overnight. Yuan Shang was preparing to lead the army to surrender, and his soldiers wanted to join Cao Ying as soon as possible. Who knows, Yu Ban and Lejin suddenly led the army to rob the village. Yuan Shangjun was in a big mess, was killed and fled in all directions, extremely embarrassed, Yuan Shang abandoned the seal ribbon, knots, armor, and baggage, and fled from the mountains. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses, and returned to the army to attack Ye County.
Xu Youjian attacked Jizhou, and in this move, he offered a plan at the moment.
"Why don't you decide to flood the water of the Zhanghe River!?"
Cao Cao followed his plan, sometimes Guo Jia was beside him, smiling lightly and saying a few words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard it. So Cao Cao first sent an army to dig a trench outside the city, around forty miles. Xun Chen saw Cao Jun digging trenches outside the city, but the digging was very shallow.
Xun Chen smiled secretly and said to the left and right.
"Cao Mengde wants to break the water of the Zhanghe River to irrigate the city's ears. The trench is deep and can be filled, so shallow, what's the use!? ”
Xun Chen was not prepared. How do you know that night Cao Cao added ten times the sergeant and excavated, compared to the sky, the width and depth of two zhang, the water in the city was several feet deep. There was also no food, and the sergeants all starved to death.
Xin Bi received Cao Cao's order, and used a gun to pick Yuan Shangyin's clothes outside the city to recruit people in the city. Xun Chen was furious, and beheaded more than 80 people in Xinbi's house on the city and threw his head down. The Simpi wept. Seeing that Xinbi's family was killed, he was angry in his heart, so he secretly wrote a book of dedication, tied it to an arrow, and shot it down the city.
The sergeant picked up Xin Bi, and Xin Bi immediately put away his cry, rushed back to Cao Ying, and dedicated the book to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao read the book, he didn't laugh with joy, but sighed, and silently said in his heart.
"Yuan Benchu, tomorrow your Yuan clan will be uprooted by me. But you don't need to be frightened under Jiuquan, for the sake of the old feelings, I will leave you with a life. ”
Cao Cao thought about it, and gave the order first.
"If you enter Ye County, Hugh will have to kill the Yuan family, and the soldiers and civilians will not die."
At dawn the next day, Jurong opened the west gate and let Cao's soldiers enter. The Cao army brigade rushed to enter the city first, the Xinbi prancing horse entered first, and the general followed, killing into Ye County. Xun Chen was on the tower of the southeast city, and saw that Cao's army had entered the city, and he rode down the city to fight to the death, and was welcoming Xiahou to hand over his horse. Xiahoudun was mighty, defeated Xun Chen in one move, captured him alive, and tied him out of the city.
Lu Feng Xinbi, Xinbi gritted his teeth, whipped Xun Chen's head, and shouted angrily.
"Thieves kill talents! Dead today! ”
Xun Chen was not afraid, but scolded.
"Simbi thief! Lead Cao Cao to break my Jizhou, I hate to eat your flesh and drink your blood! ”
Xin Bi wanted to beat Xun Chen to death, but was stopped by Xiahou Dun, and then Xiahou Xuan came to see Cao Cao.
Xun Chen's life and death were in Cao Cao's hands, but he still glared at Cao Cao angrily. Cao Cao squinted and looked down, and asked first.
"Yesterday I killed the city, why are there so many crossbow arrows in the city?"
Xun Chen shouted hatefully.
"Hate less! Hate less! ”
Yesterday, Cao Cao was almost killed by a dark arrow, and as soon as Xun Chen's words came out, the generals behind Cao Cao were all angry, and they wanted to come to tear Xun Chen apart. Cao Cao waved his hand, his face was very calm, and he said.
"Qing is loyal to the Yuan family, and he can't afford otherwise. Will you send me down today? ”
Xun Chen exhausted his strength and shouted violently.
"Don't fall! No fall!! ”
On the side, Xin Bi, seeing that Cao Cao wanted to collect Xun Chen, cried and worshiped on the ground, and shouted miserably.
More than 80 family members were killed by this thief. May the prime minister kill him, and hate him with snow! ”
Xun Chen drank loudly again.
"I was born as a minister of the Yuan clan and died as a ghost of the Yuan clan, not like a thief of your generation! Cao thief!! You can kill me quickly! ”
Cao Cao saw that Xun Chen was bent on seeking death, so he taught the soldiers to pull him out. Xun Chen was tortured and shouted at the executioner.
"My Lord is in the north, do not cause me to die face south!"
Xun Chen drank it, knelt to the north, and led his neck to the blade. The blood flies, and the head falls to the ground.
Xun Chen died, Cao Cao took pity on his loyalty and ordered him to be buried in the north of the city. The generals invited Cao Cao into the city. Cao Cao wanted to set off, but he saw a person with a knife and axe, and Cao Cao regarded it as Chen Lin.
When Cao Cao saw Chen Lin, he remembered his writing, his face couldn't help but change, and he asked coldly.
"You were the first to do it, but the crime is lonely, why is it a humiliation to your grandfather?"
Chen Lin was so frightened that she knelt down on her knees and hurriedly answered.
"At that time, I couldn't help myself, I was ready to fly, and I had to make my ears. I hope the prime minister will forgive. ”
The soldiers on the left and right persuaded Cao Cao to kill him, Cao Cao took pity on his talent, forgave him, and Chen Lin ordered him to do it.
But he said that his eldest son Cao Pi, whose name was Zihuan, was eighteen years old at the time. When Pi was first born, there was a cloud, and its color was blue and purple, round as the cover of a car, covering its room, and it did not disperse all day long. Those who are hopeful of anger are secretly called Cao Cao.
"This genius is also angry. It is unspeakably precious! ”
Cao Pi is eight years old and can belong to the literature, has Yicai, is well-versed in ancient and modern, good at riding and shooting, and good at fencing. When Cao Cao broke through Jizhou, he did not follow his father in the army, led an army first, went to Yuan Shao's house, dismounted and drew his sword. His eldest brother Cao Ang, who was also in the army, hurriedly blocked the way.
"Father has an order, everyone is not allowed to enter Yuan Shao's mansion, and the second brother must not commit any crimes."
Cao Pi's eyes rolled, his heart made a plan, and he suddenly shouted.
"Exactly. Just now, my brother and I saw a few people sneaking in, so I chased after them. If you don't believe me, come and see me. ”
Cao Pi is quite quick and wise, and he is very popular
G is uninhibited, very similar to Cao Cao when he was young, but Cao Cao is strict with him and is very worried about his sexual mistakes. On the contrary, Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, Zi Xiu. Cao Ang was born to the Liu family, but his biological mother died early and was raised by Cao Cao's main family. Cao Ang has a modest temperament, benevolence, and the style of a wise lord, but Cao Cao is very fond of him.
As soon as Cao Pi said something, Cao Ang's face changed, and he quickly rushed into Yuan Shao's mansion, wanting to arrest the few people in Cao Pi's mouth. Cao Pi saw Cao Ang rushing in first, smiled, and then muttered in a low voice.
"My eldest brother is really easy to deceive, with you taking the lead, the second brother is not afraid to be presumptuous in this world-shaking Yuan Mansion."
Cao Pi thought about it, so he hurriedly followed Cao Ang. When the two of them hurried to the back hall, they saw no one who had committed an accident, but two women hugged each other and wept.
Cao Ang is kind-hearted, and he can't see women crying the most, just because he is panicked. Cao Pi's eyes were straight, his eyes were full of red light, and he stared straight at a woman. Cao Pi pressed the sword and retracted it, and asked.
"Who are you waiting for?"
A woman trembled slightly, and hurriedly said.
"The concubine is General Yuan's wife, Liu Shiye."
Cao Pi turned his eyes to look at the other woman and asked again.
"Who is this woman?"
Liu took tears and told him.
"This is Zhen Shiye, the wife of the second man Yuan Xi. Because Yuan Xi went out of Youzhou, Zhen refused to travel far, so he stayed here. ”
Cao Pi smiled, his eyes lit up, and he dragged the woman closer, and when he saw that he was covered with dirt, he wanted to wipe his face with his shirt sleeves and look at it.
"Second brother, Hugh is rude!!"
Cao Ang saw that Cao Pi was like a prodigal son, and hurriedly shouted. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi flicked his hand, and the two brothers' faces suddenly changed greatly, and they were sluggish for a while. I saw that Zhen's family was born with jade flowers, sinking fish and geese, and having the color of the country. The Cao brothers were distracted for a while, but they seemed a little helpless.
Liu Shi saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. Cao Pi saw that his heart was up, and he wanted to take Zhen as his own, his mind was spinning, and his expression suddenly froze, and he said to Liu.
"Madame, don't panic, the two brothers are the sons of Prime Minister Cao. Our brothers respect General Yuan as a human being, and we are willing to protect your family. Do not be anxious. ”
Cao Pi boasted that he went to the sea, and Cao Ang was in a hurry and wanted to stop it. How do you know that the Liu family and the Zhen family bowed together and came to thank Cao Ang and Cao Pi. Cao Ang was flustered for a while, and his heart was fascinated by Zhen's beauty, Cao Pi said a few words in Cao Ang's ear, and Cao Ang unconsciously agreed to the matter. When Cao Ang came back to his senses, Cao Pi was already sitting on the hall with Erlang's legs crossed, and he was very nervous about pressing his sword. Cao Ang made a very heavy promise, not to mention a promise with a beauty, so he immediately had to follow and sit next to Cao Pi.
However, it was said that Cao Cao led the generals to enter Yecheng and enter the city gate, and Xu Yu approached the horse, triumphantly, and called Cao Cao with a whip pointing at the city gate.
"Ah Gou, you can't let me enter this door?"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, but immediately laughed to hide his anger. When Cao Cao's generals heard this, they were all unhappy and disliked Xu Yu more and more. Cao Cao rushed to the gate of Yuan's mansion, saw the gate open, and immediately asked angrily.
"Who has come through this door?"
Seeing that Cao Cao was angry, how dare he hide it, so he hurriedly sued.
"The prince and the second son are both inside."
"Presumptuous!! Call these two rebels out to me!! ”
Cao Cao shouted angrily, and the brothers Cao Ang and Cao Pi in the back hall heard it and hurriedly rushed to the gate. When Cao Cao saw Cao Ang and Cao Pi, he immediately reprimanded, and the two brothers knew that they were guilty and did not dare to refute it, after being reprimanded by Cao Cao. Cao Pi squeezed his eyebrows at Cao Ang, and motioned to Cao Ang to tell Cao Cao about the Liu family and the Zhen family.
Cao Ang was not good at talking, and was speechless for a while. Cao Pi stared again and again, secretly making small movements. As soon as Cao Cao saw it, he knew that it must be Cao Pi's slippery head who was instigating Cao Ang to do something that was not glamorous, and he was about to reprimand him angrily. Liu drove out and bowed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao learned of Liu's identity and hurriedly treated him politely. The Liu family is a human spirit, and from Cao Ang's name to Cao Pi just now, he guessed Cao Ang's identity, and immediately made up a story, saying that Cao Ang and Zhen were in love.
"If you are not a prince, you can't protect the concubine's family, and you are willing to hold a broom for the Zhen family."
Cao Cao called out Zhen to worship in front. Cao Cao saw it, and saw that this girl was amazing, which was enough to compare with the world's first beauty Diao Chan. Cao Cao was shocked in his heart and asked.
"Do you really have a relationship with my son?"
After hearing this, Zhen's cheeks were slightly red, even more bewitching, and he bowed slightly. Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang again, and when Cao Ang saw Zhen nodding, he was overjoyed, and subconsciously nodded. Cao Cao then ordered Cao Ang. The soldiers around came to congratulate one after another, and it was rare for Liu to smile a little. Cao Pi was the only one in the field, standing silently in the dark, with remorse and unwillingness in his eyes!
"Big brother!! How dare you give me a sword to snatch love! You remember this account for me!!! ”
Cao Pi's hands clenched violently, and he actually hated his eldest brother Cao Ang because of a woman. At this time, Cao Cao and Cao Ang didn't know that Cao Pi had hatred because of this. A crisis that subverts the Cao family is secretly emerging.
