Chapter 142: The Treacherous Hero's Heart Knot
As soon as Lu Bu died, Xiapi City was broken, and he didn't even need to persuade him to surrender, Xiao Yi asked people to take the Fang Tian painting halberd around outside the city, and the will of the defenders suddenly collapsed completely, everyone knew that Fang Tian's painting halberd was the lifeblood of Wen Hou, the halberd was in the people, and the halberd was lost, since Wen Hou was dead, who else did the soldiers give their lives?
Wei Xu and Song Xian, who guarded the north gate, took the lead in opening the door and surrendering, and then the defenders of the east gate and the west gate also stopped resisting, and fled one after another, and hundreds of thousands of Cao troops swarmed in, and finally conquered the Xiapi City, which had been besieged for more than a month!
"The late general, pay homage to the Grand Governor!" Outside the north gate, Wei Xu and Song Xian knelt down in front of the horse very respectfully, when they were in Xiao Pass, they were captured alive once, and retreated all the way to Xiapi, or it was difficult to escape the same fate, so they called themselves 'late generals!' ’
"The two generals are invited to get up quickly, Wen Hou's soldiers were defeated and died, it is the will of heaven, as long as you are sincerely obedient, the governor of Pontus will never be treated badly!"
Xiao Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and he was also quite emotional in his heart, "In the Bingzhou army, there are so many loyal and brave generals, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, and Wei Xu and Song Xian in the back, all of whom are the talents of the generals who command the army, but unfortunately Lu Bu has not been able to reuse any of them. ”
"The two of us are willing to serve the Metropolitan Governor, and we will not give up!"
"Okay, very good, Wei Xu and Song Xian will listen to the order!"
"The last general!"
"Gather up the rebels in the city at once, take them out of the city, set up camp, and gather and listen to the tune!" There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, Xiao Yi immediately assigned tasks to the second general, entrusted them with the important task of soldiers and horses, and did not even send a supervising army!
"No!"
The second general immediately took the order and left, gathered the chaotic soldiers, rectified the people, changed the flag in the army, and served wholeheartedly!
After the two generals were recruited, Xiao Yi led the Xuanjia army under his command to enter the city from the north gate, and then walked non-stop, directly through the city, and now the other three gates of Xiapi have surrendered, only the south gate is still fighting fiercely, "Chen Gongtai, do you really want to resist in the end?" ”
Chen Gong is indeed stubbornly resisting, after learning that Lu Bu died, he continued to hold on to the city, and also tried to organize soldiers and horses, street battles to resist the enemy, but the army's heart was chaotic, the soldiers abandoned their armor and fled, the more they beat the fewer people, but the Cao army was thousands of people pouring in, advancing step by step!
In desperation, Chen Gong had no choice but to lead his subordinates to retreat to the edge of the city wall, retreat to the city road, and finally retreat into the city tower, being tightly besieged here, and there was no way to retreat!
"Surrender quickly!"
"Surrender quickly!"
Like a tidal wave, the soldiers of the Cao army poured in from all directions, shouting loudly, forcing the people in the tower to surrender.
Before entering the city, Prime Minister Cao Cao issued a military order, "If there is anyone who can capture Chen Gong alive, a reward of thousands of gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels, on the other hand, if anyone dares to harm Chen Gong's life, then he will fight with his life, and there will be no mercy!" ”
In a word, it must be caught alive!
Therefore, although Cao Jun's side occupied an absolute advantage, he did not dare to rush over easily, for fear that the sword and gun would have no eyes, and if Chen Gong was injured by mistake, it would be terrible, as for the archers, they retreated in unison, and they did not dare to let go of a cold arrow, for fear that if their hands slipped, their lives would be gone!
The reason why such a strange order appeared is the embodiment of the contradiction in Cao Cao's inner world, for Chen Gong, he both loves and hates, and there is some guilt, loves his talents, hates his deeds, and is ashamed of his heart, it is simply complicated to the top!
Chen Gong is Cao Cao's life-saving benefactor, a powerful opponent on the battlefield, and a witness to the stain on his life, and all of this stems from one thing~~ Mistakenly killing Lu Bohao's family!
The process of the matter is also very simple, a frightened bird on the way to escape, because he was too suspicious, overly defended, accidentally killed a family, and said something too much, and as a result, the two originally like-minded partners completely broke up!
This incident is a heavy burden for Cao Cao, and even affected his life, in order to cover up a small mistake, it caused countless big mistakes, especially in the later years of the traitorous male, the suspicion attacked, almost to the point of indiscriminately killing innocents, which is not only character, but also a heart knot!
Chen Gong is the key to untie this heart knot, in the original time and space, this key was broken, and the heart knot became a dead knot, now, who can skillfully hold this key, and then open the heart knot that has plagued countless people?
"The old man would rather die than descend to the unrighteous!" On the city tower, in the face of the countless Cao troops who poured up, Chen Gong was not afraid at all, and with a horizontal sword on his chest, ready to make a last fight!
His life is bright and fearless, and at the end of the road, with a lot of blood, splashing the enemy's armor, and taking righteousness and becoming benevolent, it is not a perfect ending, but unfortunately, the mistakes of the year will never have a chance to be corrected!
Thinking of this, Chen Gong first wiped the sword in his hand with the sleeve of his robe, put it on his shoulder, looked at Cao Jun who was pressed by the black pressure in front of him, and then looked at Xiapi, who had been guarding for more than a month, as soon as his eyes were closed and his wrists were forced, he was ready to kill himself!
"Whoosh! ~~Jingling! ”
The sword is fast, the flying arrow is faster, just when the sword in Chen Gong's hand is close to the neck, a swallow-tailed arrow suddenly shot from the crowd of Cao Jun, extremely accurate, the forked arrow cluster is in the middle of the blade, and the powerful force comes, directly knocking the sword out and falling far into the city!
thought that if the sword was wiped out, all the grievances would be eliminated, but it didn't die, Chen Gong couldn't help but be stunned, but the sore feeling on his wrist told him that he was really alive!
At the same time, the surrounding Cao soldiers rushed up, pinched their arms, hugged their waists, hugged their ......thighs, and locked Chen Gong deadly, for fear that this uncle would not be able to think about it, and then play a city jump and commit suicide or something, just the sword just now, almost scared everyone to death, the prime minister's military order is like a mountain, if this uncle is really dead, I don't know how many brothers will go down to Huangquan together!
The crowd was divided, and Xiao Yi, who was holding a treasure carving bow, walked out, and at the critical moment just now, it was he who shot down the sword with an arrow, which did not let the tragedy happen~ "Mr. Gongtai, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am honored to see it for the first time today!" ”
At this point, Chen Gong also gave up the struggle, stared, and looked at the person in front of him, tall, wolf-backed bee waist, wearing a cold iron armor with a claw pattern, holding a treasure carving bow, a small black face is not handsome, but with a strange beauty, especially those eyes that are as black as ink and bright as stars, as if they can see through people's souls!
"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang?" I haven't seen him, I've heard his name for a long time, all kinds of legends about this 'killing god' have long filled Chen Gong's ears, and they are about to grind out cocoons, some people say that he is murderous, bloodthirsty, and has a penchant for eating human flesh, and he is a first-class villain in the world!
Some people also say that he is affectionate and righteous, treats his friends with all sincerity, treats his subordinates like siblings, and cares for his family, and is a rare person in the world who is loyal and righteous!
Some people even say that he is both civil and military, can lead the army on the horse, can govern the people when he gets off the horse, can kill people, and can also live people, especially can write a good poem, the literary style is flying, and it is widely circulated.
It's better to be famous than to meet, it turns out that the famous 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' is actually like this, a young man who seems to be very ordinary, but has done countless extraordinary things!
"A beautiful woman, why a thief!" Chen Gong's first impression of Xiao Yi was very good, so he was even more sad, in his opinion, how could such a promising young man with both civil and military skills follow Cao Cao's traitorous male, it is really a piece of beautiful jade and fell into the quagmire, it's a pity!
"Hehe, without him, like-minded!" Xiao Yi replied very simply, the relationship between people is difficult to say, just like many people don't like Cao Cao, saying that he is treacherous, insidious, and unscrupulous~~
But Xiao Yi admires Cao Cao very much, and even worships him, the same character, in his opinion, is eloquent and eclectic, and only such a character can calm the troubled times!
Words are not speculative, and it is useless to talk more!
Xiao Yi waved his hand and asked the soldiers to invite Chen Gong down, so that he could settle down, anyway, this 'key' is in his hand, and the rest will be polished slowly, there will always be a day when the lock will be opened!
