Chapter 942: Catching Cao Leopard
After a year of waiting, there are conspiracies and conspiracy, there are assassinations of Xiao Pei and being surrounded at this time, and the road ahead is bumpy, but as long as you work hard and never stop looking at the goal, even the most difficult road in the world will eventually come to an end.
Liu Lan was wrapped in the innermost layer, no matter how he looked, it was difficult to see Guan Yu in the distance, but he could clearly hear the sound of fighting in the distance. The moment Guan Yu drank, he ordered Zhou Cang to lead nearly 6,000 soldiers to kill the Danyang Army, Zhou Cang took the lead in killing Zuo Lu, the latter sneered, he didn't know Zhou Cang's origin, but he knew Guan Yu's resounding name, squinted at Guan Yu on the side, he was very confident in his skills, although he was not as good as Guan Yu's first-class generals, but if he abandoned them, it would be difficult to meet opponents in this world, and this was the confidence generated after a life-and-death fight, so he didn't pay attention to Zhou Cang, who killed him. Instead, he kept looking at Guan Yu coldly, as long as Guan Yu didn't make a move in person, then he would have a chance to escape the crisis in front of him.
But what he didn't expect was that the man who killed him quickly broke through the defensive network, and with the gap he opened, more Liu Lan reinforcements were breaking through the barrier and killing the Danyang army.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zuo Lu's face instantly became gloomy, and he snorted coldly, and said, "That thief is rampant, eat me with a spear!" ”
Zhou Cang glanced at Zuo Lu, who was killing him, laughed, and said, "Why don't you hide anymore?" Don't be a shrunken turtle anymore! As he spoke, he shook the mountain hammer with both hands, and shouted: "Let grandpa come and learn your tricks!" ”
Zuo Lu's eyebrows were raised slightly, revealing several lines of forehead markings, and he snorted secretly: 'I don't know what to do', his arm shook slightly, and the tip of the spear stabbed at Zhou Cang in an extremely strange but hidden way.
The cold and cold light on the spear was like a giant python several meters long, and the tip of the spear that flashed with cold light was like a snake letter in the mouth of a giant python, and it attacked in front of Zhou Cang in a blink of an eye.
Zuo Lu's spear technique seems strange and hidden. But no matter how hidden the front move was, when it approached him and launched a fatal blow, he would eventually appear, so when Zhou Cang couldn't figure out Zuo Lu's offensive line, he closed his eyes. Since the eyes can't see, then look with the heart and feel it.
As if the heavens and the earth fell into silence, only the sound of breaking wind sounded in his ears, Zhou Cang finally felt that Zuo Lu's offensive line was attacking towards the vital point in his heart, and his eyes widened angrily, only to see the tip of the spear rapidly enlarge in his pupils, and he didn't dare to exaggerate, and the mountain hammer was like a tiger descending from the mountain. As soon as he unloaded and pressed, it was as if the tiger's right foot stepped on the giant python seven inches, and at the same time, the sole of his left foot swung a palm between his head, which immediately separated the snake's head from the snake's body and flew out of the distance.
Zuo Lu looked at the cracked tiger's mouth and the spear that came out of his hand in shock, until this moment, he didn't know how terrifying the other party was, and he was just about to make a move. When he was about to turn around and run away, he found that the killing god on the other side had come to his side at some point. I only heard his voice without the slightest emotion, and said: "The general said that he will put incense on your grave today next year!" ”
He said resolutely and indifferently, without the slightest emotion, looking at Zuo Lu as if looking at a corpse that had been dead for a long time, and said in a cold voice: "So you must die today!" ”
Zuo Lu didn't even make a snorting sound, and a handful of blood and meat sauce flew out from his body. Splashing on the bodies and armor of the many Danyang troops behind him, Zuo Lu's guards killed Zhou Cang, wanting to avenge the captain, but soon they accompanied Zuo Lu down to the underworld and went to the West Heaven.
Zuo Lu and many of the guards who supervised the battle were solved in an instant. The other Danyang troops were doing the final battle under the leadership of their respective hundred chiefs, but at this time the top general had already died, and they were ordered to come to arrest the spies.
If Cao Bao was here, then they would have accompanied Cao Bao without hesitation, but Cao Bao was not there, and Zuo Lu, who was the supreme official here, was already in a different place, and he was immediately deflated, not knowing what to do, plus seeing Tao Qian's personal guards raise their ruthless butcher knives to their brothers who usually fight side by side, they completely gave up any resistance.
At this moment, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu and others who arrived became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the reinforcements quickly rushed to the direction of Liu Lan with a devastating momentum, and Mi Zhu in the distance raised the tiger talisman and shouted: "Taozhou Mu Jun Order, you and others rebelled with Zuo Lu, the crime cannot be punished, but you don't know it, as long as you put down your arms immediately, Taozhou Mu will give you and others to be innocent, otherwise they will be killed by thieves and punish the three clans!" ”
The soldiers immediately panicked, almost at the moment when Mi Zhu took out the tiger talisman and threw down the blade in his hand, and looked at the robes around him in a daze, they couldn't imagine that they would fall into Zuo Lu's trap and become a sinner who rebelled. At this time, thinking about it carefully, Zuo Lu passed on General Cao's orders, but they never saw General Cao's face from beginning to end.
At this moment, they completely knew that they were in charge of Zuo Lu, and when they heard those words, they naturally would not believe that those words were true, but even if they knew that these words were to appease themselves, they could no longer afford to resist a little, they knew what their fate would be, but even if they were punished, it was better than a disaster.
Cao Bao, who had been hiding in a remote place to watch, saw that the general trend had gone, and fled to the west of the city with a sigh, and halfway through, he saw a group of people coming from not far away, and Cao Bao immediately recognized that the person who was the leader was Cao Yi, the son who had absconded after hearing the news, and the father and son gathered together, and they went towards the west gate non-stop.
As soon as he arrived at the West Gate, he saw that Yang Qiu, who had been arranged before, was talking with a person, Cao Bao recognized that person at a glance, it was Mi Fang, the brother of Mi Zhu, he was panicked in his heart, and secretly hated that he had chosen the wrong person, but he hated it but did not dare to continue to stay here for a long time, turned the horse's head and went to the south in a hurry.
The abnormal movement attracted Mi Fang's attention, and immediately found the absconding Cao Bao, and shouted: "Cao Bao Xiaoer, you have reached the end of the road, I see where you can escape!" ”
As he spoke, he chased after Cao Bao with thousands of family members, and Cao Bao would not be afraid of him Mi Fang on weekdays, but at this time, he did not dare to have any delay, and fled to the south gate in a hurry.
Seeing that Cao Bao was about to flee, and didn't want another group of people to come from the front, Mi Fang saw it clearly, but it was Guan Hai who she had seen before, and she was overjoyed. shouted and said, "General Guan, quickly intercept the convoy in front, that person is Cao Bao, don't let him go." ”
Guan Hai was originally ordered to disarm the South Gate, but he didn't want to meet Cao Bao at the right time. Overjoyed, he immediately sent troops to surround Cao Bao and his party.
Seeing such an ending, Cao Bao shook his head with a wry smile in his heart: "The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone." ”
He didn't make any resistance, just waited for Guan Hai to come, raised his head and raised his eyebrows, and said, "Can this general give me a good time?" ”
"Haha!" Guan Hai glanced at Cao Bao indifferently, and said lightly: "Don't worry, my lord has no intention of killing you." He waved his hand. To his soldiers, he said, "Take him to the lord!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are countless corpses in the alley, and there are rivers of blood, and hundreds of people are cleaning up Heng Chen's corpse at this time, and Liu Lan is standing in front of Zuo Lu's headless corpse at this time, his corpse is neatly placed, Liu Lan did not abuse the enemy's corpse like most people in this era, for him. From the moment he crossed over, he was told how to treat his enemies and respect the corpses of his enemies, even if he was of a different race.
He was curious why Cao Bao didn't show up. It's just a small captain, he doesn't believe that a small captain can mobilize such a large Danyang army, but he knows in his heart that Cao Bao is behind the scenes, but after Zuo Lu crosses the corpse, he has no reason to move Cao Bao again.
Don't say that Cao Bao's prestige in the Danyang army is that he was busy dealing with Cao Bao as soon as he entered Xuzhou, which would only make the Xuzhou scholar class panic. Now the first thing he has to do is to appease the people's hearts, and only when he has completely secured the position of Xuzhou pastor can he begin to integrate the Xuzhou bureaucracy, otherwise the backlash at that time will definitely be more tragic than the scene in front of him.
While he was pondering, there was a team of Danyang soldiers beside him who were escorted down by the soldiers and did not pay attention. But as they passed by in despair, only a sigh was heard.
Interrupted by this sigh, Liu Lan looked back at the source of the sound, it was Chen Deng, and said strangely: "Why did Yuanlong sigh?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the scene just now is also thrilling." Chen Deng said with emotion in his heart: "Pity these Danyang soldiers, even if they can really put us to death, what can Cao Bao reward them?" As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, and said, "Now these soldiers will not only not be able to get any reward, but they will end up with a different head. In the end, he was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Who said they would be in different places?" Liu Lan shook his head and said, "They just did what they were ordered, the real culprits are Zuo Lu and Cao Bao, they have nothing to do with them, I will not execute them, let alone deal with them." ”
Liu Lan is not willing to kill prisoners, only turning the enemy into his own use is the way to be powerful, and if he falls into the reputation of killing prisoners, then the battlefield will definitely be more tragic in the future, after all, this is the era of cold weapons, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, if the other party is the last person to fight in the future, the difficulty will be self-evident.
Moreover, Liu Lan can even let go of the Yellow Turban thief, let alone the Danyang Army in front of him, which is even more inconsistent with his consistent style of acting.
But in Chen Deng's eyes, all this became Liu Lan's benevolence as a woman, and he persuaded him: "Have you ever thought about it, if it weren't for General Guan coming, they would have killed all of us mercilessly, not one of them, and these people are all loyal to Cao Bao's henchmen, if the lord doesn't get rid of them today, then they will be the lord's henchmen in the future!" ”
I sighed for them before, but now I persuade them? Liu Lan really couldn't understand the thoughts in the heart of this Hu Hai scholar: "I repay my grievances with virtue, Danyang Jun will be grateful to Dade, how can he harm me again in the future?" ”
"The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart." Chen Deng looked at Liu Lan and said in a low voice: "The lord let them go today, but will they forget what forced the lord into danger today?" They will probably never forget it for the rest of their lives. Chen Deng said that he was even more soft, and said: "So the lord doesn't kill them now, they will only think that the lord will tolerate them in order to stabilize Xuzhou, and after the lord completely controls Xuzhou, he will find an excuse to execute them!" ”
"But I'm not going to pursue them!"
"But they don't think like this, they will always live in fear, and it is precisely because of this that they will be used by people with intentions!" Chen Qun's grasp of human nature has his own unique side, he just told Liu Lan his thoughts and what might happen, and how he will choose in the end is not something he can decide.
Liu Lan nodded subconsciously, but the whole person had already fallen into contemplation, and at a certain moment, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and an idea instantly took shape in his heart. It wasn't until a long time later that Guan Yu and his party came to him, Liu Lan looked at Guan Yu with his hands behind his back, Zhang Fei and others stepped forward to salute, and said, "Yun Chang is late, and I hope the lord will forgive his sins!" ”
Liu Lan smiled slightly, looked at Guan Yu, who was embarrassed and embarrassed although he bowed his hand to him, stepped forward to help them up one by one, and comforted: "You are not late, but you have come at the right time." ”
Guan Yu felt even more ashamed, and suddenly heard Mi Zhu's voice behind him: "The lord was frightened a lot before, so let's go to Zhu's mansion to rest." ”
Guan Yu on the side took over the conversation and said, "The lord should still go to see a young general, and then go to Zizhong's mansion to rest, after all, if he hadn't broken through the east gate this time, it would be difficult for Yun Chang to come in time!" ”
"Oh?"
Liu Lan looked back at Guan Yu suspiciously, his eyes were full of surprise, this was the first time he heard from Guan Yu's mouth that he would show appreciation and admiration when talking about a person, but asked, "I don't know who this person is?" ”
I thought of Xu Chu in my heart, if it weren't for Xu Chu this time, I would have died here. Looking around, where could he still see his figure, and asked the people around, "What about Zhongkang?" Did any of you see him? ”
"General Xu and General Xiahoubo have been sent to the barracks for treatment." At the same time, Mi Zhu told Liu Lan in detail about Xiahou Bo's fierce fight in front of the east gate, which immediately made him feel a trace of curiosity in his heart: "It seems that as Guan Yu said, I have to meet this captain who treats his robe as a sibling." ”
Hate fast Liu Lan came to the front of the barracks under the escort of a group of people, this is a military camp behind the neighboring state pastor's mansion, it can be said that it is the direct army of the state pastor's mansion, the camp covers a small area, only three thousand Tao Qian guards are stationed, at this time Liu Lan and the others came to the Xiahou Bo tent, stopped everyone and entered the tent alone.
The smell of herbs in the tent was strong, and Liu Lan slowly came to Xiahou Bojun's couch. The latter was awake, but when he heard the sound and observed, he found that it was Liu Lan, who was sincerely frightened, and immediately struggled to see the courtesy, but he waved his hand and refused, and lightly pressed on the bed, and said with a smile: "You are injured, so you don't need to be polite." Full of gratitude, he said: "Thank you Captain Xiahou today, if it weren't for you leading the army to capture the east gate in time, so that Yun Chang could lead the army to enter, I'm afraid Liu would be unable to escape today!"
