Chapter 181: Many Incidents (II)
Seeing Xun Yu'an separated, Cao Cao's face looked much better, and he had reused Xun Yu recently, so that his eyes were empty, and he just took advantage of this matter to beat it, and it would be easy to control it in the future.
"You've handled this matter well, get up and take your seats." Cao Cao said indifferently.
"No."
Yu Ban immediately got up, walked straight to the seat on the side, and sat down upright.
"Mr. Yunyi is my right-hand man, and now that I meet similar people, I still need to pay more attention, Wen Ze, have you sent someone to follow me?" Cao Cao asked solemnly.
"Not really."
Yu Ban didn't dare to hide it, and told the truth, "I'm afraid that I will alarm Mr. and cause some trouble." ”
"Well, that's how it should be, but I didn't think it through."
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's eyes widened, thinking that Cao Cao would blame Yu Ban for this, but in the end, Cao Cao blamed himself instead, which shows the importance of Mo Shuyan's position in Cao Cao's heart.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Cheng Yu got up and told Cao Cao about his opinion: "This person can personally escort Cai Yan out of the city, and Cai Yan is also willing to coerce him to leave with death, which shows that this person must have a close relationship with Cai Yan." ”
"So what?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a direction in his heart, but he was not sure, so he hurriedly urged Cheng Yu to continue.
Seeing Cao Cao's anxious face, Cheng Yu certainly didn't dare to hesitate, and continued: "In this case, Cai Yong, the Taishou of Guangling, must know this person, and when Guangling is broken and Cai Yong is invited to ask, he may know where this person is, and then it can be proved whether this person is Mr. Yunyi." ”
"Wonderful."
Cao Cao praised again and again, glanced at Cheng Yu again, and then shouted outside the tent: "Send someone to investigate the battle situation on the front line, if you break through Guangling, quickly invite Cai Yong to come to see me, remember to respectfully invite him to come." ”
"No."
The soldier outside the tent answered, and hurried away to complete the task, while another soldier came over and filled the position, continuing to guard the safety of the main tent.
The people in the main tent waited quietly for the battle situation from the front line.
At this time, outside the city of Guangling, Xiahoudun and Li Dian had already led their troops to break through the city gate, and the army entered Guangling, but they did not intrude on the people as usual, and the soldiers who laid down their arms were only detained and not killed, which was Cao Cao's order, and it was also Cao Cao's respect for his teacher.
The defenders in the city were still struggling, the battle line was constantly advancing, Wangtai Shoufu was approaching, Li Dian and Xiahoudun were riding behind, and they did not participate in the battle, planning to sharpen their soldiers for a while, after all, this kind of easy battle is rare.
I have to say that although Guangling under Cai Yong's governance is prosperous like a dream, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has decreased a lot in the gentle township, and naturally it is impossible to resist the battle-hardened Cao army.
At this time, the soldiers who gave the order arrived and brought the password to Li Dian and Xiahoudun.
After listening to the order, Li Dian and Xiahoudun looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time took down their weapons and rode their horses to rush towards the enemy formation, Cao Cao ordered, the two of them naturally would not watch like this again, but did their best to quickly break the enemy.
The remnants of the defenders, who were originally struggling to support, rushed into Li Dian and Xiahoudun, and the two were unstoppable, rushing left and right, breaking up the defenders' defense line in an instant, and were soon eaten up by Cao's army.
When he got to the back, the leading commander directly surrendered with his subordinates, and he had no intention of fighting to the death, which was also inseparable from Cai Yong's long-term emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, and the soldiers under him did not have much sense of belonging at all.
Leaving most of the men and horses to deal with the surrender of the army, after taking over Guangling, Li Dian and Xiahoudun led a small team of men and horses to the Taishou Mansion, which was already not far away.
As soon as these horses arrived at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, the seven or eight soldiers who stayed behind hurriedly escorted the sick middle-aged man standing at the door, this middle-aged man was Guangling Taishou, Cai Yong, and Hua Tuo was accompanying him on the side.
"Escort Taishou-sama away."
The leading soldier shouted angrily, and wanted to step forward to stop Li Dian and the others from advancing.
"Stand down." Cai Yong said lightly.
Hearing this, the leading soldiers had no choice but to give up and lead people to get out of the way, and Cai Yong was able to face Li Dian and the others.
"Meet Taishou-sama."
Li Dian and Xiahoudun dismounted at the same time and stepped forward to pay homage to Cai Yong, no matter what, Cai Yong was also Cao Cao's mentor and worthy of their visit.
"Even the city has been taken away, and if you call me too guarded, won't you make fun of me?"
Cai Yong's pale face showed a rare trace of a bitter smile, and then asked, "But General Cao called you to come to me?" ”
"Exactly."
Li Dian saluted again and said respectfully: "The lord ordered us to come and invite Mr. Cai to come out of the city to see him." ”
"I have a heart."
Cai Yong nodded expressionlessly, then turned his head to Hua Tuo and said, "Doctor Hua, can you accompany me?" ”
"He Xiao commanded, it should be so." Hua Tuo replied without hesitation.
"Then let's leave immediately, so as not to wait for this General Cao." Cai Yong laughed and walked forward with Hua Tuo.
In order to take care of Cai Yong's condition, Li Dian had already arranged for a carriage to come, and after sending Cai Yong and Hua Tuo into the carriage, Li Dian and Xiahoudun got on the horse, opened the road in front, and escorted Cai Yong to the outside of the city.
Soon, the carriage passed near the Guangling defenders who were being escorted, Cai Yong heard the noise outside, opened the curtain, looked out, and instantly stayed on the spot, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
Hua Tuo didn't bother, so Cai Yong went.
After the carriage passed through the city gate and came to the outside of the city, Cai Yong put down the curtain, stared at Hua Tuo and said: "The fault of this defeat lies with me, I usually look at the prosperity of the city, but I don't pay more attention to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. ”
"That's undeniable."
Hua Tuo did not choose to say good things to comfort Cai Yong, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the defenders of Guangling were weaker, and they had almost no strength to fight, "The inner reality and the outer void are equivalent to empty treasure mountains, but they can only be slaughtered by others." ”
"In this way, it is a good thing that Cao Cao took Guangling."
Cai Yong's mentality suddenly improved a lot, as if he had seen all this, "At this time, Guangling was attacked, and Cao Cao did not intrude on the people, maybe under Cao Cao's control, Guangling can be truly prosperous forever." ”
"Perhaps."
Hua Tuo lowered his head and responded, but he didn't think so in his heart, if it weren't for Cai Yong's face, how could there be such a peaceful ending, since ancient times, it was the people who suffered, and the rest of the cities that were taken by Cao Cao, the people were not so happy.
Then, the two didn't speak again, they sat opposite each other, not knowing what they were thinking, and the carriage also inadvertently came to Cao Ying.
