Chapter 158, assassinating Xiahoudun

Cao Cao withdrew from Xuzhou for the first time, Lu Bu had already entered Yanzhou, Zhang Miao had been hesitating before, but he couldn't withstand Chen Gong's repeated persuasion, Chen Gong once said to him, "Fang fell apart today, the heroes rose together, the king is thousands of miles away, when the land of four battles, the sword is enough, but it is enough to be proud, but to be controlled by others, don't you despise yourself?" Now Cao Cao led the army to the east, Yanzhou is empty, Lu Bu is the hero of the world, there is the courage of all things, if you join forces with Lu Bu, jointly take charge of Yanzhou, and then quietly watch the general trend of the world, waiting for the opportunity to move, will be able to dominate one side. ”

Chen Gong's words touched Zhang Miao's heart, he was worried that Cao Cao would do something to him, if he could join forces with Lu Bu, he could not only seize Yanzhou and eliminate Cao Cao's threat to himself, but also dominate one side, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou for the second time, they suddenly attacked, and the momentum swept like thunder, so that the Cao soldiers who stayed in Yanzhou were caught off guard, and lost the city and land one after another, and within a few days, Lu Bu took more than a dozen cities.

At the beginning, Zhang Miao first wanted to get rid of Xun Yu and seize Juancheng, Zhang Miao knew very well in his heart that Xun Yu was Cao Cao's rear 'manager', which could be called the Dinghai Divine Needle of Yanzhou, and Juancheng had Cao Cao's family.

Zhang Miao sent someone to Xun Yu and said, "Lu Bu is here to help Cao Cao attack Tao Qian, and he should supply grain and grass as soon as possible." ”

It's a pity that Zhang Miao's strategy was easily seen through in Xun Yu's eyes, Xun Yu not only did not listen, but stepped up the city defense, and best prepared for a vicious battle at any time, and sent someone to send a letter to Xiahoudun, asking him to come to help quickly.

Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou, Xiahoudun sat in the town and stayed behind, in Cao Cao's eyes, Xiahoudun is the most respected and trusted, Xiahoudun is Cao Cao's brother, calm and serious, not only good at commanding troops, and very good at the overall situation, in case of trouble, will never be impulsive and brutal, in addition to guarding Yanzhou for Cao Cao, Xiahoudun has a more important thing, that is, he is personally responsible for planting grain in Tuntian.

Xiahoudun did it himself, personally carrying a basket on his back and fighting with the soldiers and civilians in the field, and never had the slightest complaint, if it wasn't for the sudden sneak attack of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, Xiahoudun was still busy in the fields.

There are so many heroes and fierce generals around Cao Cao, but none of them can compare to Xiahoudun.

Cao Cao knew how to make good use of people, but he handed over the matter of growing grain in Tuntian to Xiahou Dundu.

After receiving Xun Yu's urgent report, Xiahoudun quickly sent troops to aid Juancheng, the situation was urgent, Xiahoudun did not bring any baggage, went into battle lightly, and traveled in a hurry, seeing that Xun Yu had not supplied grain and grass for a long time, Lu Bu knew that Zhang Miao's plan had been leaked, and immediately led people to Puyang.

On the way, I happened to meet Xiahoudun, a fierce battle, the two sides were stalemate, Lu Bu had a plan, divided the troops to let Zhang Liao lead people to block Xiahoudun, and personally led the army to Puyang, Puyang garrison was empty, the defenders were killed by surprise, Lu Bubing was bloodless, and hung his banner on the tower of Puyang.

After taking Puyang, Zhang Liao also quickly returned to Puyang, and learned that Puyang was lost, Xiahou gritted his teeth and stomped his feet angrily, but after thinking about it, since Puyang had been lost and the matter had come to this, he should still rush to Juancheng, Xiahou immediately rushed overnight, and arrived in Juancheng before dawn.

After Lu Bu successfully took Puyang, in order to deal with Xiahoudun, he frowned, made another plan, personally selected a few henchmen and warriors, and asked them to go to Xiahoudun's camp to surrender, and then wait for the opportunity to kill Xiahoudun.

Lu Bu in the romance has developed limbs, a simple mind, and a scary low IQ, but in fact, this is not the case.

Before Yuan Shao wanted to kill him, Lu Bu played a kite in the camp and deceived the assassin, and when Yuan Shao found out, he had already escaped from Yuan Shao's military camp, which shows that Lu Bu is still very smart.

Xiahoudun didn't know the deception and accepted the surrender of those people, but he never dreamed that he would be captured by a few nobodies. (It is true in the history books)

"Hahaha, it seems that the tiger also has a nap."

Among the warriors sent by Lu Bu, one of them named Zhang San put a knife on Xiahoudun's neck, and Le's mouth couldn't close.

Originally, I wanted to do it directly, but Zhang Sanyi totaled it, if Xia Houdun was killed like this, our brothers would also be buried with him.

After capturing Xiahoudun, he was happy, but when he thought of his own safety, Zhang San and the others retreated in their hearts.

Even if the assassination can be successful, they will inevitably die, if the assassination fails, it is also a dead end, when they accepted Lu Bu's order before, Zhang San and they didn't expect this at all, laughed for a while, and saw that Xiahoudun's soldiers all gathered around when they heard the news, Zhang San's heart became more and more bottomless.

With a roll of his eyes, Zhang San secretly discussed with the others, and actually gave up assassinating Xiahoudun, but offered to ask for 1,000 taels of gold.

Zhang San said boldly, "Do you hear, our brother can spare you from dying, but you must give us the money immediately." ”

The more Cao soldiers surrounded, the more panicked Zhang San became, and said in his heart, let alone 1,000 taels, even if he only gave 50 taels, as long as he could survive, Lao Tzu would agree.

obviously went to assassinate Xiahoudun, but he was frightened by Xiahoudun's people.

Xiahoudun managed the army well, and the soldiers he trained were all elite soldiers who could fight on the battlefield, and they were surrounded by these cold-faced and death-like Cao soldiers, and the longer the stalemate was, the more frightened Zhang San and the others felt in their hearts.

Xiahoudun glanced at them in confusion, and asked in disbelief, "You caught me just to ask for money?" ”

Xiahoudun's body was straight, straight like a pine and cypress, and he didn't blink his eyes in the face of the big knife on his neck.

Zhang San nodded, and the hand holding the knife was obviously trembling, "Hand over the money immediately." ”

At this time, Zhang San thought to himself, don't say it's 50 taels, just give 1 tael, even if you don't give 1 tael, as long as you can let us go, it's okay.

Once a person is afraid of death, he will lose the bottom line, and before Xiahoudun could speak, Zhang San was already afraid and was about to cry, but he understood the current situation very well, no matter what, Xiahoudun must not be let go.

At this time, Xiahoudun's deputy general Han Hao came, Xiahoudun glanced at Han Hao, and categorically ordered, "Leave me alone, kill these thieves immediately." ”

Zhang San was taken aback when he heard this, gritted his teeth viciously, and pressed the knife Xiahou Xuan's neck, and a trace of blood suddenly flowed out along the blade.

Zhang San pretended to be angry and threatened, "If you want to kill us, you will die first, believe it or not, I will kill you now." ”

Lu Bu never dreamed that although his strategy had deceived Xiahoudun, it was ruined by Zhang San's few guys who were afraid of death, if Zhang San and these people could be more decisive, Xiahoudun would immediately have his head on the ground.
