Chapter 465: Cao Cao's Calculations
However, it is said that in the battle of Luoyang, although Cao, Sun Lianjun and Lu Bu joined forces to achieve victory, but Sun's army suffered heavy losses, with nearly 10,000 troops and nearly 6 or 7,000 casualties, and even Zhu Zhi, who had followed Sun Jian for many years, also died in this battle. In addition, Lu Bu's army was also heavily damaged, when Lu Bu entered Luoyang, because of the hatred of the Xiliang people, he was constantly killed by the Xiliang people, fortunately Lu Bu was invincible, and later the Xiliang people were eager to withdraw the army, Lu Bu was able to take the opportunity to kill the defenders in the city, and first attacked the Luoyang Palace. However, at that time, Cao Cao soon came with the support of the generals, but Lu Bu simply led the generals under his command to kneel down to greet Cao Cao. Lu Bu's move also has the true character of a hero, and it can be seen that although Cao's army was fighting everywhere at that time, it was the side that suffered the least damage. In this battle, Cao Cao's 20,000 troops were lost less than one-tenth. Moreover, there is no shortage of warriors under Cao Cao. Lu Bu knew that Cao's army was unstoppable, and he didn't dare to force Luoyang, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would be jealous, so he showed weakness and let him go.
Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Lu Bu up, and at the same time, he saw that Lu Bu's army was fighting fiercely, and more than half of the casualties were killed, so he couldn't help but relax. Later, Lu Bu took the initiative to give up Luoyang City and wanted to lead his troops to retreat, but Cao Cao relented for a while and agreed to come down. After Lu Bu led his troops out of the city, he quickly moved the camp to the side of Sun's army. The two armies of Sun and Lu vaguely seemed to be united, and Cao Cao learned that he regretted that he couldn't help it, and regretted that he didn't eradicate Lu Bu as soon as possible!
If the two armies of Sun and Lu are really combined, there are as many as six or seven thousand troops, and Sun Jian, known as the 'Jiangdong Tiger', is strong and good at fighting, and his son 'Little Overlord' Sun Ce has the style of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu in the past, and there is no shortage of fierce generals in the Sun family's army. Then there is Lu Bujun, there is a peerless god of war, and Gao Shun, a tiger general, Rao is Cao Cao does not dare to be enemies of these two people.
So, in the past few days, Cao Cao taught people to investigate, and at the same time asked Xun Yu for advice, preparing to deal with this Sun and Lu.
Having said that, Sun and Lu each led their generals and walked into the main hall. Cao Cao was overjoyed, launched a hearty laugh, and invited the two to sit at the same table with their respective subordinates. So, Sun Jiajun and a group of soldiers sat on the left. Lu Bu sat on the right with his men.
Cao Cao first glanced at Xun Yu, who was sitting on the side of the hall, and after receiving Xun Yu's signal, he immediately smiled and said: "Haha, this time I asked the two of you to come over, not for anything else, but to ask the two of you, what do you think about welcoming the Son of Heaven?" ”
"What's so negotiable!? It is incumbent upon us to wait for the Hanchen, to welcome the Son of Heaven, and to support the Han family!! Meng De actually has a heart, why not quickly adjust it? I, Sun Wentai, am willing to listen to orders!! As soon as Sun Jian heard Cao Cao's words, he was immediately stunned and rose up. Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh secretly. Lu Bu secretly changed color, and couldn't help but secretly scold Sun Jian for being impulsive, and before he could see Cao Cao's intentions, he hurriedly agreed, for fear that he would suffer himself, and couldn't help but secretly cast a look at Chen Gong next to him. Chen Gong secretly made a gesture, signaling Lu Bumo to act rashly first, and wait and see what happened first. Lu Bu understood, so he kept silent.
"My father, if no one mentions this matter about the Han family, he still has a bit of the true character of a hero, but once someone mentions it, he becomes a hot-headed fool!" Sun Ce was also secretly anxious, and secretly tugged at the corner of Sun Jian's clothes. Sun Jian glared, turned his head suddenly, and was about to get angry, but when he saw Sun Ce's strange eyes, he couldn't help frowning.
"Haha, what the so-called heroes see is the same! I really intended to send troops to Sanfu to quickly rescue the current son, so that the Chaogang could return to orthodoxy, but unfortunately, the heavy rain for several days had to delay the trip, and this way to Sanfu, I had to go through a lot of mountain roads. If you want to rush to Sanfu as much as possible to ensure that the Son of Heaven is safe, I am afraid that you must have a peerless horse that treks through mountains and rivers like stepping on the ground. Of course, although Sanfu is chaotic at the moment, there is no shortage of fierce generals and warriors in the remnants of the Dong family, and this requires a peerless god of war who can look at the world's braves into nothing. But characters with these two points are really hard to find in the world! Cao Cao pretended to be embarrassed and sighed.
When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "If it weren't for the injury of my yellow-maned BMW, I wouldn't be afraid to give it a try!" The matter of rescuing the Son of Heaven is imminent, and we must not neglect it! ”
Suddenly, Sun Jian thought of someone, immediately looked at him, and said happily: "Wenhou is invincible in the world, and there is a red rabbit BMW, isn't it just right!?" ”
As soon as Sun Jian's words came out, Lu Bu's expression couldn't help but change. Cao Cao subconsciously shouted loudly at this time: "No! ”
Sun Jian was obedient and couldn't help but look over, but when he saw Cao Cao repeatedly throwing his eyes over, Sun Jian couldn't turn around for a while, so he asked, "Why don't you say it directly!?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed, and he wanted to say it several times, but he hesitated. Lu Bu couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw it, and subconsciously asked, "I don't know what concerns Lord Cao has?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his expression froze, and he sighed: "Wen Hou also asked so." I, Cao Mengde, don't hesitate to be this villain. Although Wen Hou was able to rein in the precipice and abandon the darkness to the light, after all, it was the old department of the Dong family, and let Wen Hou go to Sanfu, Cao was really unrelieved. ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Gao Shun and Cao Xing couldn't help but show anger. Cao Xuan glared even more and shouted: "If you are surnamed Cao, don't spew blood!" My lord has now become a thorn in the side of the Xiliang people, how can he unite with the Xiliang people again!! ”
"That's right!! My father-in-law did not hesitate to kill his relatives in righteousness, but he was slandered by Cao Gong like this, isn't this chilling!? Gao Shun immediately shouted coldly. At this time, Chen Gong's expression sank, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Sun Jian hurriedly calmed down and said, "Your Majesty is in trouble, and now we need our generation to join forces to rescue, so we should work together." At the moment, Dong Zhuo doesn't know what to do, if he can escape back to Sanfu, and we are here to delay the opportunity, so that His Majesty will fall into the hands of traitors again, then we will all become sinners! ”
"Eh, I wonder what General Sun has in mind?" Cao Cao pretended to be helpless and asked with a sigh.
Sun Jian listened, but was embarrassed again. At this time, Xun Yu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient. I have a plan. ”
"Oh? Wen Ruo is known as Wang Zuo, I would like to listen to you! Come on! When Sun Jian heard this, he was even more excited than Cao Cao, and hurriedly asked. Cao Cao also deliberately threw a look at Xun Yu, signaling him to speak directly. Xun Yu froze his expression at this time, got up and bowed to everyone, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a secret, in fact, Dong Zhuo has long been punished by the soldiers of our army, but in order to prevent the prisoners from being restless, he concealed it." Now that the situation is stable, he is not afraid to speak out about it. If Wen Hou really has the heart to break off with Dong Shien, in order for the Han family to get back on track, we might as well give this great credit to Wen Hou! ”
As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, Chen Gong's expression immediately changed drastically, he glared at Xun Yu angrily, got up in a hurry, and shouted: "Xun Wenruo, what are your intentions!?" The lord of my family is already hated by the Xiliang people, and this time he will bear the name of killing Dong Zhuo, and he will become the mortal enemy of the Xiliang people in the future. What's more, Dong Zhuo was my lord's father-in-law after all, but if this matter comes out, won't my lord be spurned by the world!? You are trying to put my Lord in the doom!! ”
As soon as Chen Gong said this, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and other generals all changed their complexions, and Sun Jiajun also changed color one after another. Cao Cao was firm and indifferent, and said leisurely unhurriedly: "Gongtai's words are a bit excessive. Dong Zhuo was brutal and unkind, and did many evils, and everyone could be punished. Whoever can kill him will be sought after by the righteous of the world. I gave away this great credit, and you didn't thank me, but came to cheer like this, which inevitably makes people feel a little unbelievable, right? ”
"Hmph, your city is profound, ordinary people can't guess your tricks, how can I be deceived by you? You just want to borrow the hands of the remnants of the Dong clan to eradicate my master!! Chen Gong was not polite at this time, and bluntly said Cao Cao's evil intentions.
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "Chen Gongtai, you and I were brothers who shared hardships in the past, but I didn't expect you to slander me so much today. If this is the case, it is better to stop this matter and find another plan! ”
"No!! Rescuing His Majesty is urgent, how can it be delayed!? When Sun Jian heard this, his color suddenly changed, and he called out in a hurry. Lu Bu couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Chen Gong also secretly changed color, and he couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding in his heart.
"But what if you can't do anything right now? What's more, the war has just ended, and it must not be our intention to attack rashly. Cao Cao pretended to be embarrassed and sighed secretly.
Sun Jian couldn't help but look at Lu Bu, his eyes showed a little impatience, and he was about to speak. Lu Bu suddenly stood up suddenly, his evil eyes were magnificent, he looked at Cao Cao coldly, and said to Cao Cao with a cold look: "Lord Cao did not hesitate to give such a great credit, then I, Lu Fengxian, might as well laugh at it!" ”
"Lord~!!" As soon as Lu Bu said this, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others couldn't help but shout in unison. Cao Cao was afraid that Lu Bu would regret it, so he smiled happily and said quickly: "Hahaha!" It's still warm and refreshing~!! Then I will teach people to report to the whole city, announce the matter, and at the same time prepare a banquet for Wen Hou, how about celebrating Wen Hou~!? ”
I saw Cao Cao's face full of joy, and Gao Shun, Cao Xing and other generals were so angry that they couldn't help but grit their teeth. Chen Gong repeatedly cast glances at Lu Bu, eagerly hoping that Lu Bu would change his mind. Who knew that Lu Bu turned a blind eye, and said with his head bowed: "As soon as you follow Lord Cao's instructions, you will be!" ”
As a result, Cao Cao then announced that once the news of Lu Bu's killing of Dong Zhuo came out, the entire Luoyang City was shocked, and Lu Bu, who killed his father-in-law again, suddenly became the target of everyone's verbal scolding.
However, it was said that Lu Bu and the others returned to the camp outside the city, and as soon as everyone entered the tent, Lu Bu had not yet sat down, and Chen Gong asked urgently: "Lord!" Before the war, I reminded me several times that the person who killed Dong Zhuo must not be the lord! ”
