69. Slaughter the city
Liu Bei was startled when he got the gold seal, if he didn't know that the heirloom jade seal was made by He's Bi, he would really regard this thing as the heirloom jade seal! But now it seems that this one should be an imitation of the heirloom jade seal! However, even if it is an imitation, it should be owned by the royal family, how can the Cao family keep this thing!
Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, first kicked the gold seal in his arms, and then asked Zhang Fei to order someone to move this car of gold into the warehouse in the backyard! There is a private treasury in the governor's mansion, which is specially used to store Liu Bei's money and treasures, which is built underground, about three zhang deep from the ground, and enters and exits the last passage.
Zhang Fei listened to Liu Bei's words, and asked people to take the gold in the car out and transport it to the private warehouse, and he himself followed Liu Bei back to the study!
Approaching the study and closing the door, Liu Bei took out the gold seal in his arms and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see the reason for it for a long time. He raised his head and asked Zhang Feidao, "Who else knows about the third brother?" ”
"Big brother, I don't know anything about anyone but me!" Zhang Fei replied.
"Very good! Don't mention this to others, not even the second brother. Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei solemnly. Zhang Fei nodded after listening. Then the two had a few words, and Zhang Fei told Liu Bei that in addition to the gold in this car, there were a lot of silver, medicinal herbs and cloth on the other cars, all of which were worth a fortune!
Liu Bei was also very happy after hearing this, although there is now Haiyan's entry, but he can't stand it and needs money everywhere, so Liu Bei's money in his hands has not been rich since he won Qingzhou. If all the things in these cars are realized, Liu Bei will have a lot more money in his hands.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei became more and more grateful to Han Fei, if it weren't for Han Fei, maybe this money would be cheaper! Han Fei naturally knew the news of Zhang Fei's return, but he didn't mix it, and how to distribute the wealth he got was left to Liu Bei to have a headache. He had now focused his attention on Cao Jun, and if it was as expected, Cao Cao's counterattack would be coming soon. Immediately after Xuzhou's distress letter is coming, should the lord transfer Guan Yu back?
Xiahoudun led the army to march for two days and came to the vicinity of Pengcheng. He sent scouts to investigate, and the scouts reported back: "General Napengcheng's gate is not closed at this time, as if he doesn't know that our army is coming!" ”
Xiahoudun listened to the scout's words, and was a little unconvinced, so he asked, "Is this serious?" ”
The scout replied, "It's true! ”
Xiahoudun's eyes narrowed and said, "That's the best!" It's good to take this city with a knife! After speaking, he called the lieutenant general who called his subordinates, gave a few orders, and then prepared to lead people to raid Pengcheng.
Pengcheng, as a city close to Yanzhou, has a strong defense. There are more than 5,000 garrisons in the city, and if it weren't for the sneak attack, it would take a lot of effort to conquer this city with 10,000 people under the command of Xiahou Dun!
Who would have thought that this Pengcheng was actually lax in garrison, and he was not aware of Xiahoudun's army at all, and the result can be imagined that the light cavalry sent by Xiahoudun rushed into the city and occupied the city gate! Immediately after the army entered the city, they directly occupied Pengcheng! The Pengcheng garrison wanted to organize a counterattack, but was picked off the horse by Xiahoudun with a shot, and died on the spot.
As soon as the garrison died, all the soldiers had no intention of resisting, and they were all captured by Xiahoudun, and the losses of Xiahoudun in this battle were counted afterwards were only more than 100 people! Xiahoudun captured Pengcheng and did not dare to advance further, so he stayed here and waited for Cao Cao's army to come.
Two days later, Cao Cao's army came to the foot of Pengcheng, Cao Cao did not enter the city at all, and sent Xiahou Yuan to give an order to slaughter the city!
Xiahou Yuan met Xiahou Yuan to convey Cao Cao's order, and the two knew that those who did this would definitely be condemned by future generations, but the military order could not be disobeyed, so the Xiahou brothers gritted their teeth and immediately issued an order to slaughter the city!
10,000 soldiers rushed into every house in Pengcheng like wild beasts, and in an instant the blood-stained long street was full of dead bodies! After a whole day of killing, the soldiers' knives were dulled from morning to night! At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiahoudun led people to withdraw from Pengcheng, and there was no one alive in Pengcheng at this time!
In the next day, the slaughter of the city spread far and wide, and Tao Qian was so frightened that he vomited blood when he heard it! He hurriedly summoned the civil and military to come to discuss, and Chen Deng of the Chen family offered a plan: "Lord, Cao Thief is too powerful to ask for help!" ”
"Ahem! Yuanlong, who do you say I should turn to for help? Tao Qian coughed twice and asked. To say that Tao Qian was also a very powerful figure when he was young, the Cao family and the Chen family were originally from the Xuzhou Wang family, but they had to submit to Tao Qian's hands. It's just that now the hero is in the twilight, and no one can resist the erosion of time.
Hearing Tao Qian ask him, Chen Deng stopped thinking nonsense, and he arched his hand at Tao Qian and said, "Now I'm afraid that I can only ask Qingzhou Liu Bei to help!" Only he can fight that Cao Cao! ”
Tao Qian nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, don't bother the two masters, just trouble Yuanlong, you can go there yourself!" The Mi Zhu of the Mi family is under Liu Bei at the moment, you can find him when you go, he is also a person from Xuzhou, and he will definitely help one or two. ”
"It's the lord!" Chen Deng agreed immediately.
Since it was decided that Tao Qian would no longer hesitate, he asked Chen Deng to invite Liu Bei, and on the other hand, asked Cao Bao to strengthen the city and step up the army. Xuzhou City has also opened a state of combat readiness at this time, and ordinary people are not allowed to come and go at will!
After Cao Cao slaughtered the city, the army corrected it for a day, and then went to Xuzhou City to kill! Pengcheng is only more than 300 miles away from Xuzhou City, and the army can reach it in two days normally, but Cao Cao, in order to deter Tao Qian, did not go very fast, and it took the army three days to rush to Xuzhou City! Tao Qian and the others saw Cao Cao's army at the head of the city, and saw that the cavalry in front of Cao's army on the opposite side was neat and morale was high. Looking further back, the infantry formation was full of swords and guns, and the murderous atmosphere was full. Only scared them to the point that their faces were bloodless, Tao Qian looked at the faces of everyone and sighed secretly, and took them to scare the city. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Cao Bao to guard the city!
Cao Bao was also playing drums in his heart, but as the first person among the military generals in Xuzhou, he couldn't back down. So he squeezed out a smile from his face and said: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as I am here, I will never let Cao Bing climb to the top of the city!" Tao Qian nodded and turned to leave, and at this time, he could only believe in Cao Bao!
At this time, Chen Yuanlong had also hurried to the city of Changyi! Hearing that Chen Deng was coming, Han Fei immediately knew that Xuzhou was asking for help! He was very curious about Chen Deng Han Fei, this person was a local talent in Xuzhou, although he was a civil servant, he did martial arts, and he had defeated Sun Quan twice during the defense of Guangling, blocking the footsteps of Eastern Wu to the north.
At this time, although he is relatively young, he can also be observed, and when Boss Liu takes Xuzhou, this person will be reused. Thinking about it, he walked outside the State Governor's Mansion, and the soldier saw that it was Han Fei who hurriedly let him in.
Han Fei nodded and walked into the state pastor's mansion. At this time, Liu Bei's subordinates, Sun Qian, Zhang Fei and others had already come to the lobby, and they greeted him when they saw Han Fei coming. Han Fei echoed one by one, and then stood beside Fu Zhi.
