Chapter 103: To Each His Heart

Seeing this, Cao Cao said loudly: "Form a formation." New "Pen┡Ω Fun Δ┡ Pavilion*." Squinted his eyes and looked carefully, he saw that the incoming army was in order, with about 20,000 horses.

Xiahoudun was in a hurry, and he wanted to fight with his army. In the opposite formation, a person wearing a golden battle armor ran over on a horse, followed by five hundred black-armored bears, supporting him left and right. Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand to stop Xiahoudun's movements, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward on foot, the person who came was none other than Liu Ze and Liu Rundong.

Cao Cao came closer, Liu Ze turned over and dismounted, and was about to hug his fists to salute, Cao Cao knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Cao Cao Cao Mengde meets the emperor." ”

When Xiahoudun and others saw it, they also hurriedly dismounted and knelt behind Cao Cao, Liu Ze approached Cao Cao, stretched out his hands, and wanted to help Cao Cao up, Cao Cao paused his body, and said in a trembling voice: "The big mistake was cast, it was too late to regret it, and I hurt tens of thousands of soldiers of my children, and I have no shame to see my hometown fathers." The sky is above, the earth is below, from now on, self-, surrendering, if there is a violator, there is such an arrow. After that, Cao Cao took out a wolf-toothed arrow from the quiver next to him, and broke it into two with both hands.

Liu Ze pulled Cao Cao up and said angrily: "Ziyun: Chaowen said, you can die at night. Meng De returned, Ze was very relieved, in the future, you and my brothers will join hands to protect my people, promote the majesty of our Han Dynasty, open up territory for the Han Dynasty, and make all nations come to the court. ”

Cao Cao stared at Liu Ze's face, and saw that his words came from the bottom of his heart and were not stained with a little dust, so he said: "Thank you to the emperor for not thinking about the old evils, but this heart is dead, and he wants to return to his hometown to retire." The Han Dynasty has the emperor, and the blessings of the people of the world are also. ”

Mende's words were wrong. You are only seven years older than me, and you are in the prime of life, and it is the time to contribute to the country, so you have no choice but to retire. Do you remember that you and my brother are in the Luoyang Tavern, and they talk about wine. When Meng De let loose his body and spoke freely about his ambitions? ”

Cao Cao looked up at the sky, remembering the past, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The past cannot be chased, and the deceased is like a husband." ”

"Haha..... life is like a white horse, and it's all of a sudden. How can Brother Meng De dissipate the sharpness in his chest? Life is only a hundred years, you and my brother should cherish the useful body and do something, otherwise we will not live up to the gift of God. ”

"The emperor has seen life so thoroughly, I admire it."

Liu Ze grabbed Cao Cao and said loudly: "Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden." You and I brothers, one heart and one mind, don't waste the years to come. ”

Cao Cao held Liu Ze's hand tightly, "The minister will live up to what the emperor said today." ”

Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and others were behind them, and when they saw their words speculating, they all listened to their blood.

Cao Cao put down his body and sincerely returned to obedience, and the two states of Yan and Henan were decided without a fight. When the news broke, the world shook.

Liu Biao lost Nanyang first, Xiangyang City lost the barrier in the north, and when he heard that Cao Cao had surrendered Liu Ze, the surprise in his heart was not something that outsiders could understand. Liu Biao sat in Jingzhou, for more than ten years, Jingzhou governance in an orderly manner, the people are happy, and it has become a pure land in the troubled times, attracting many scholars and people, and there are many talents under his command. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty died, and there was a shadow of Liu Biao around him at that time. Liu Biao wanted to use Liu Xie's death to create public opinion, and then ascend the throne as emperor and inherit the Han dynasty. Liu Biao's hesitant personality made Liu Biao hesitate, and it was not until Liu Ze broke Luoyang and buried the Han Emperor that he suddenly realized that his means were too far behind Liu Ze. Although Jingzhou is large, compared with Liu Ze's territory, it is not half a star and a half; In terms of reputation, Liu Ze has made great contributions to expanding the territory, and the wealth of the people under his rule is not inferior to Jingzhou; The combat strength of the army, the gap is even greater, although Liu Ze has sinister intentions, drives foreign races as the forerunner, conspiracies and tricks emerge in endlessly, and he has obtained a huge amount of land, but it is not the people of the Han Dynasty who died, in the eyes of the people of Shizi, this is a strategy, a great strategy, and it can be called a country. Liu Biao is old, older than Liu Ze in his twenties, in the prime of life, I am twilight. This time Cao Cao attacked Nanyang, if Liu Ze did not intervene, the consequences would be unpredictable. With Cao Cao's old soldiers, it is estimated that Xiangyang City is difficult to protect now. From this point of view, Liu Ze saved Xiangyang, Jingzhou lost one county, and the rest of the counties were preserved.

The more Liu Biao thought about it, the more he felt that he was a wretch. Although Nanyang was lost, the rest of the counties in Jingzhou were not affected by the war, I don't know how the people of Shizi commented on this matter? said that he was incompetent, lost the city and lost the land; Said that Liu Ze was benevolent and righteous, so that Jingzhou was saved from war? In the first battle of Nanyang, Cai Mao, Wen Ping, and that Liu Xuande were only spared, but it is a pity that my army of more than 100,000 was lost in Nanyang. Huo Jun'er is also an unkind and unrighteous person, and he secretly communicated with Liu Ze, Lu Yang is the gateway between Nanyang and Si Li, and this guy actually allowed Liu Ze to come and go at will. The old and young of the Huo family in Zhijiang, Huo Jun has taken it away, and it seems that he has already planned something. Liu Biao sighed, and this breath was blocked in his heart. I wanted to catch Huo Jun's family, and I was angry, but the evil anger didn't come out, I was really panicked. In order to strengthen the relationship with the Cai family, Cong'er married the daughter of the Cai family, Cai Mao lost the city and lost the land, and always had to give an explanation to the people of Jingzhou, so he had to remove Cai Mao's official position, so that the Kuai family, the Huang family, and the Pang family would not miss this opportunity, and they would definitely take the opportunity to suppress the Cai family. Cong'er's backer has become less sturdy. It seems that he has to get closer to the Kuai family, and Kuai Liang's daughter is also dignified and beautiful when she hears it, so do you send someone to propose marriage?

The wind in Jiangdong is not calm, Sun Quan is eighteen years old when he is in charge of Jiangdong, and he is also troubled day and night, the death of the eldest brother and the third brother, and the basin is strongly buckled towards Sun Quan, which makes not only the Sun family have prejudices against themselves, not to mention the old people under the command of his father and eldest brother. There are too few people available under his own hands to be too young to hold down the stubble. Zhou Yu, as the governor of Jiangdong, holds military power, I heard that he secretly organized people to investigate me, this Zhou Lang is called a wise general, will I attack my eldest brother? Thinking of the third brother Sun Yi, the corners of Sun Quan's mouth twitched, Bian Hong, don't go out of the way, third brother, it's not your brother who is ruthless, it's you who threaten your brother. Uncle Wu Jing died in Danyang County, my brother wanted you to be alone, entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and became the Danyang Taishou, how do you know that you actually used your brother's enemy Sheng Xian's subordinate colleagues, Dai Yuan, Concubine Don't you know that your brother wants to get rid of him quickly? You can use it, how do you know that you actually appointed these two thieves, one as a county and the other as a soldier. Third brother, what are you going to do? Danyang soldiers are the elite of the world, and you actually handed it over to others? Yes, Bian Hong is my person, and I didn't worry about you so that I installed it next to you, but my brother really didn't let him assassinate you, just let him supervise you and report to me at any time. Unexpectedly, this kid was wolf-hearted and colluded with Dai Yuan and Fei Lan. Third brother, brother to you, I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me.

Bian Hong, where will this thief go? If I had sent the confession, I am afraid that it would be difficult to clear the suspicion in this life. No, you must find him in advance and cut the grass and eradicate the roots, thinking of this, Sun Quan immediately sent someone to find his iron buddy-Lu Meng.

Yuan Shu heard that Cao Cao was messing with Liu Ze, and his scalp exploded, what should he do? Yuan Xiang persuaded himself to be the emperor more than once, and he also contacted many old departments of the Yuan family, and they all expressed their support. Ben Chu Xiao'er, you are just the concubine of the Yuan family, how can you compare with me, the son-in-law? Yuan Jiashu has been kind for a long time, and his protégés are all over the world, and they are optimistic about me, not you. Thinking of this, Yuan Shu was determined to ascend the throne and establish a new dynasty with the heirloom jade seal in his hand.

Lu Bu, Tian Yu, and Hu Chuquan marched together, and the army pushed to the front of Yanran Mountain. Yanran Mountain is surrounded by dense water networks, abundant water and grass, and a large number of Xianbei people live. Although the Huns attacked repeatedly, the Huns were at the end of the road, and their combat strength was not high, but they were defeated and retreated by the Xianbei people. Lu Bu watched the herds of cattle and sheep strolling under the blue sky and white clouds, unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Fang Tian waved his halberd and slaughtered into the Xianbei tribe.

Horses and Yan Xing along the Altai Mountains westward, along the way the horse finally experienced the pain of the desert, before leaving his father's words floated to his ears again, "The weather in the desert can change, the wind blows the sand, can bury a city, is the reason why the march should be good at observing the sky, choose the opportunity to move." In the desert, there is no way to find, we must find more experienced natives as guides, once we lose our way, I am afraid that the whole army will be buried. The young and vigorous Ma didn't take Ma Teng's words to heart at first, until he encountered a sandstorm.

It was the ninth day of the army's operation, and the men and horses were rushing to Jiluo Mountain, when suddenly the blue sky turned a misty gray-yellow, and as far as the eye could see, the heavens and the earth were united, and pressed towards their own army. The horse is stupid on the horse and doesn't know what to do? Seeing this, Yan Xing hurriedly urged the horse to rush over, and said loudly to the horse: "Meng Qi, what are you still doing in a daze?" The drastic change in the weather may be a sandstorm that changes the color of the heavens and the earth, and the herald army gathers into a group, and people and horses lie on the ground to fight against the sand. Ma was a proud man, and when he saw that Yan Xing was eager and did not save face, he was about to do it, when suddenly the army was swept into the air by the wind. Daxu weighs more than 100 pounds, and non-military wrestlers can't bear it. The horse was arrogant, which did not mean that his head was rusty, and when he saw this, he hurriedly ordered the whole army to lie on the ground. The army had just stabilized, and the wind swept the sand and gravel overwhelmingly, and although the horse was wearing armor, the sharp pain of the stone hitting his body was so severe that he could not forget it for the rest of his life. Many soldiers and horses couldn't stand the pain and wanted to stand up, but they were immediately carried into the air by the strong wind, like a paper kite, and swayed away. The raging wind lasted for a full hour before it slowly stopped, and the horse raised its head from under the thick yellow sand, and everywhere it was yellow and clear, and the shadow of the army was all buried.

The horse was bitter in his heart, opened his mouth and spit out the sand in his mouth, and shouted hoarsely: "The storm has passed, are there still panting brothers?" ”

For a long time, the yellow sand was turning, and the centaur 66 continued to move from under the yellow sand. The number of horses was counted, and a strong wind broke thousands of people. Ma really wanted to cry without tears, the battle had not yet been fought, the enemy had not seen, and more than a thousand brothers were broken first. This is still thanks to Yan Xing's reminder, if not, I don't know how many people will be folded? He even had to be angry at Yan Xing, thinking about it, Ma couldn't wait to stick his head into the yellow sand.
