Chapter 9: Cao Cao's Conspiracy (I)
Since the failure of Cao Cao's assassination, Guan and Zhang went out every night and returned home early, without leaving Liu Bei for a moment.
Although in the past, the three of them ate at the same table and slept together, and they were inseparable, but at this time, Guan Zhang and the two were like shadows, which made Liu Bei very embarrassed, but what was even more embarrassing was Mrs. Gan.
That's dozens of days.
Yingchuan Xuchang Sikong Mansion.
Cheng Yu strode in in a panic and went straight to Cao Cao's bedroom.
The guard stopped him with a horizontal knife and bowed: "Lord Cheng, the Lord is resting."
Cheng Yu said: "I have something important, you go quickly!" ”
The guard's face was embarrassed, and he scratched his head and said, "I don't dare to do this." ”
Cheng Yu was startled, frowned, and rushed to his heart angrily, pointed at the attendant, and said sharply: "You"
The attendant hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "My lord, my lord, he killed someone in his dream or you."
Cheng Yu was helpless, pushed away the attendant, and broke into Cao Cao's bedroom.
Cao Cao lay on his side and slept, and vaguely, he felt a gust of wind coming, cold sweat flowed out of his forehead, and a rush of footsteps made Cao Cao shudder.
Reaching out, touching the knife, turning around and suddenly stabbing.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu had already taken precautions, and the moment Cao Cao's body moved, he leaned back in an instant, dodging this fatal knife.
Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!
Cao Cao gasped, fixed his eyes on Cheng Yu, and waved his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Hey
Cao Cao let out a sneer and said, "Zhongde, it turned out to be you." ”
Cheng Yu was glad that he had a heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed: "Lord, Yuan Shu can't support it, and he is ready to dedicate the jade seal to Yuan Shao."
If these two Yuan are together, with the name of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, recruiting troops and buying horses, the power will inevitably increase greatly, so what should I do, I hope the lord will have an idea. ”
Poof!
The short knife in Cao Cao's hand landed on the ground, and the smile on his face stopped abruptly.
The air seemed to freeze, and Cheng Yu didn't dare to speak, just looked at Cao Cao helplessly.
Hey
Hahahaha
Cao Cao laughed wildly on his back, stood up, stared at Cheng Yu, the corners of his mouth rose, and said, "God really help me!" ”
Originally, Yuan Shao's strength was stronger than Cao Cao, but now Cao Cao actually said so!
Cheng Yu was puzzled, and his face was full of doubts.
Cao Cao said: "Zhongde, when the government is in power tomorrow, I will order someone to report the news of Yuan Shu's desire to join Yuan Shao to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Remember, Yuan Shu must pass by Xiapi when he takes refuge in Yuan Shao. ”
Although Cheng Yu didn't know much about it, he still nodded and agreed.
The next day, the government was in power.
Emperor Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, sat on the head, gave Cao Cao a seat on one side, and the next cadre was lined up on both sides.
A small official broke into the hall, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shu is unable to fight again, and wants to coerce Yuxi to take refuge in Yuan Shao, Hebei, I believe that he will arrive in Xiapi in the near future." ”
Emperor Han Xian was shocked and asked Cao Cao urgently: "General, what should be done about this matter?" ”
Cao Cao's face was embarrassed, and he said dumbly: "This"
Yuan Shu coerced Yuxi to take refuge in Yuan Shao!!
So fast!
Liu Bei was taken aback, he didn't care about anything else, he immediately stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to Xiapi to intercept Yuan Shu, take back the jade seal, and the emperor of the Ming and Han dynasties." ”
Emperor Han Xian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Aiqing is really a loyal minister of the Han family, so he depends on Aiqing"
Liu Xie turned his head to look at Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie angrily, and Liu Xie shrank his head and did not dare to speak.
Cao Cao turned to laugh and said: "Your Majesty, there are many auspicious people in this trip, although Yuan Shu was defeated, his power is still strong, and Xuande does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to go." ”
"This" Liu Xie said in a consultative tone: "It's better for the general to help the emperor's uncle with some soldiers and horses, so that he can not only step on the rebel Yuan Shu, but also show the emperor's grace, killing two birds with one stone, why not." ”
Liu Bei was secretly happy, but he pretended to be fine, and it was really uncomfortable to suppress the surging mood!!
Cao Cao secretly smiled sinisterly, pretended to excuse himself, and said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, you have to obey it." ”
Liu Bei thought that Cao Cao had been deceived, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would change his words, so he hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Cao Gong is complete." ”
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Xuande, you only have 2,000 foot soldiers in your hands, and you are really not Yuan Shu's opponent, I will immediately order Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to lead 3,000 male soldiers to rush to Xiapi with you, intercept the traitor Yuan Shu, and be sure to take back the founding jade seal." ”
The government is over.
Liu Bei walked back quickly, chasing a person behind him, following him like a shadow, as if he had a bad intention.
Liu Bei turned a street, waited around the corner, and reached out to touch the short knife on his waist.
The man came out in an instant, and Liu Bei drew his knife and stabbed him.
"Xuande and slow, it's me!"
Liu Bei fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xiliang Ma Teng, put away the knife and returned, and asked, "Why is Brother Shoucheng following?" ”
Ma Teng looked around, saw that there was no vision, and said: "Xuande is going like a dragon entering the sea, and the tiger is returning to the mountain, and he is bound to make a career, but it is just below."
Liu Bei knew that Ma Teng also wanted to escape, so he said: "Brother Shoucheng is smart, confused for a while, Xiliang is located outside the pass, often harassed by foreign races, and now there are thieves and invaders, and the brother who guards the city is still not out of the pass to defend the enemy?" ”
Ma Teng suddenly realized, hurriedly thanked him, and said: "Thank you Xuande for your guidance, say goodbye, you and I will continue the relationship in the future." ”
When Ma Teng was about to leave, he turned around and said, "Oh yes, you and I can save each other's lives, and we should be brothers in life and death at this time." ”
With that, he turned and strode away. Liu Bei was puzzled, sighed secretly, and said, "What is it!" Can you die if you make it clear??? ”
Liu Bei turned around and went back to the mansion, and it just so happened that Guan Zhang had also returned to the mansion at this time.
The three of them reunited in the side hall.
Liu Bei said: "At the time of today's government, Huainan Yuan Shu can no longer support it, and if he wants to take refuge in Yuan Shao in Hebei, he will inevitably pass through Xiapi, and His Majesty has ordered me to lead an army to intercept Yuan Shu." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he was immediately ecstatic, and laughed loudly: "Great! ”
Guan Yu stroked his two-foot long hair, said in a calm voice, "Big brother, when will you leave, you and my brother, it's better to prepare early." ”
Liu Bei waved his hand and asked, "Don't worry, Yun Chang, what's going on over there with Gao Feng?" ”
Guan Yu replied: "Big brother, don't worry, Gao Feng is willing to submit to me, but"
Liu Bei was afraid of this, and asked eagerly, "Just what?" ”
"It's just that I vaguely feel that Cao Cao will do something to Gao Feng." Guan Yu said.
Liu Bei sighed and said, "I can't care so much, everything depends on the will of God." ”
Then he asked Zhang Fei again: "Third brother, how are those rangers trained?" ”
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "The eldest brother is relieved, the younger brother has trained absolutely a hundred battle heroes, and one is the top ten." ”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, Yun Chang, you should inform Gao Feng and tell him that we are about to leave Xuchang and will eventually go to Xuzhou, if he really votes for me, he will go to Xuzhou to find me." ”
Guan Yu nodded and promised, "Brother, don't worry." ”
"Yide, don't take away the hundred elite soldiers under your command for the time being, stay to protect your family, this time I will go to exterminate Yuan Shu, if you bring your family, it will definitely make Cao Cao suspicious, so that the safety of your family depends on Yide's elite soldiers."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I will not let my sister-in-law suffer a little bit and suffer a little sin." ”
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Yide, you are a general of the Chinese army, and you are indispensable to intercept Yuan Shu, I mean to let them protect me and other family members by themselves to leave Xuchang and go to Xuzhou." ”
"This"
Zhang Fei made a mistake, these rangers are used to being carefree on weekdays, Zhang Fei has become their backbone, at this time it seems a bit of a vision to let them complete the task independently, it is likely that they will tie up Mrs. Gan and give it to Cao Cao.
At this time, Guan Yu said: "Since Gao Feng and the rangers are both going to Xuzhou, it is better to let Gao Feng temporarily lead this group of rangers, what does my brother think?" ”
At this time, Zhang Fei said: "Second brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, I am in contact with them on weekdays, and they obey me, but they will never obey Gao Feng, in this way, I am afraid it will be self-defeating." ”
Guan Yu also made a difficult mistake, and Zhang Fei's words were not unreasonable.
Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, was the time to make a decision at this time, so he said: "Just do what Yun Chang said, if Gao Feng can't even conquer these rangers, then how will he lead the army in the future." ”
At this time, there seemed to be a slight noise outside the door, Guan Yu reacted quickly, stood up suddenly, and walked towards the palace door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a knock at the door.
"Who?" Guan Yu immediately asked.
A maid outside the door replied: "Second master, there are two generals Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao outside the mansion who ask to see you." ”
Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao!?
They came so fast!
Liu Bei got up, came to the front of the palace door, and opened it and said, "Please wait in the front hall, I'll be there later." ”
Guan Yu was puzzled and asked, "Big brother, why did they come?" ”
Liu Bei was dressed and said: "Cao Cao sent these two people to lead 3,000 troops and horses to support us. ”
In the vestibule of the Left General's Mansion.
Liu Bei strode in and saluted: "I don't know that the two distinguished guests are coming, and if they are far away and offended, they will look at Haihan." ”
"Where! Where! Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao also returned the salute.
After the ceremony, the three of them sat separately and the waiter cooked tea and served the guests.
Zhu Ling spoke first: "Uncle Liuhuang, the last general is Zhu Ling, and the one next to him is Lu Zhao." ”
Liu Bei said modestly: "I have admired the name for a long time." ”
The two of them went straight to the point and said: "Uncle Liuhuang, we don't talk darkly, Cao Gong sent the two of us to help the general break the Yuan technique, in fact, to give His Majesty a face, this army should still obey our orders." ”
Liu Bei smiled secretly, as expected, let you first, and when Xuchang is out, I can't help you!
Ha ha
Liu Bei said with a smile: "That's natural, General Zhu was originally Yuan Shao's old department, but he was able to abandon Yuan Shao and vote for Cao Gong, and he knew the hero with his eyes, and he was really the first in the world, so I might as well do it." With such insight, the whole army should be headed by General Zhu's order. ”
Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were a little surprised, there were many things to seize power in the army, they had always been arguing endlessly, and they didn't give up, how did they get to Liu Bei so smoothly, they didn't even drink tea, and they had to leave!
The two truthfully informed Cao Cao of the situation, and Cao Cao just let out a sneer and said nothing more.
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers, sisters, younger brothers, sisters, don't be stingy with the recommendation votes in the hands of the department~ Smash me crazy!
