Chapter 711: Take it on like a man
Everyone knew that Liu Bei had fled from Xudu, but it was not clear that they had been betrayed.
When Dong Cheng said that Liu Bei did not hesitate to entrust their plan to Cao Cao in order to escape, everyone was angry.
"I have long known that Liu Xuande is not a good person." Wu Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Poor Dong Gong still expects him to save the big man." ”
"It's unladylike to meet someone." Dong Cheng said: "It is rumored in the world that Liu Xuande is a generous elder, but I didn't expect him to be such a figure. For his own selfish gain, he sold us all. ”
"Now is not the time to talk about Liu Xuande." Wang Zifu said: "The most important thing is that Cao Cao already knows our plans. Now who strikes first and who is stronger, let's discuss how to deal with Cao Cao. ”
"How many soldiers and horses does General Wang have mobilized in Xudu?" Dong Cheng asked.
"But more than 300 people." Wang Zifu said: "The soldiers under my command are all outside Xudu, and it will take more than ten days to mobilize to Xudu. ”
"Three hundred people...... Dong Cheng frowned and said: "I can only wait for one or two hundred people to be mobilized, counting all of the soldiers and horses transferred, not even a thousand people are ......"
"Cao Cao's Tiger Guard is in Xudu, where will a thousand people be their opponent?" Wang Zifu said: "Unless you quietly enter the Cao family......
As they spoke, the door was slammed open by a guard.
The guards stumbled into the house and shouted to Dong Cheng and the others: "Oh no, Xu Chu led the troops to kill it!" ”
Dong Cheng and the others were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the door.
Before they could reach the door, they heard a shout of killing.
As soon as they came to the door, Dong Cheng and the others saw Xu Chu rushing over with a group of tiger guards.
"General Xu, what's going on?" Dong Cheng pretended not to know what was going on and asked Xu Chu.
Along the way, Dong Chengjia's guards were subdued by the Tiger Guards led by Xu Chu.
He slashed and killed several guards with his own hands, and Xu Chu's armor was still stained with some blood.
"What did General Dong do, don't you know?" Xu Chu shouted to the Tiger Guards behind him: "Take down Dong Cheng and the others, and don't let any of them go!" ”
"Xu Chu, you are so bold!" Wang Zifu is also a general with troops, and when he saw that Xu Chu wanted to take someone, he stepped forward and drew his long sword.
Before he could raise his sword flat, Xu Chu had already stepped forward and slammed it into his chest.
was punched by Xu Chu, Wang Zifu only felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
He was staggering backwards, Xu Chu had already snatched his weapon and shouted to the Tiger Guards: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Take them all! ”
Several Tiger Guards stepped forward and restrained Dong Cheng and the others one by one.
Twisted by the Tiger Guards, Dong Cheng shouted to Xu Chu: "Xu Zhongkang, what do you want to do?" ”
"When I meet Cao Gong, General Dong will know what I am doing." Xu Chu beckoned: "Take it all away!" ”
Leaving Dong Cheng's residence, Xu Chu also instructed a Tiger Guard officer: "Anyone who is captured here will be raided!" ”
The officer retreated.
Wu Shuo roared: "Xu Chu, why did you copy our home? ”
Xu Chu glared at him, and no matter how several people shouted, he escorted them in the direction of Cao's house.
Several people shouted along the way, attracting many people to watch.
Xu Chu shouted: "I'll wait to capture the traitor, and all the irrelevant people will retreat, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!" ”
As soon as he shouted like this, the onlookers retreated one after another, pointing and talking about Dong Cheng and others.
Cao Cao was already waiting in the front hall.
When he arrived at Cao's house, Xu Chu escorted Dong Cheng and others into the front hall.
"Cao Gong, Dong Cheng and others are escorted." Xu Chu clenched his fists and said to Cao Cao.
Looking at Dong Cheng and the others who were tied up by five flowers, Cao Cao asked Cao Shuo, "Zirong, what do you think should be done with them?" ”
"Falsely preaching the holy will and attempting to murder Zhongliang." Cao Shuo said: "It is more appropriate to divide the corpses of five horses!" ”
"Then follow the melt!" Cao Cao replied.
"Cao Zirong, why do you say that we are falsely preaching the holy will?" Dong Cheng glared at Cao Shuo and shouted.
"Why?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly, walked up to Dong Cheng and the others, and asked them, "Have you ever seen a belt of His Majesty?" ”
They had long known that Liu Bei had betrayed them, and Dong Cheng and the others did not find it strange.
Thinking that Cao Shuo had never seen the belt, Dong Cheng said in a loud voice: "We don't know what you're talking about." ”
Cao Shuo had an indifferent smile on his face, but Cao Cao picked up the belt with a cold face and asked Dong Cheng and the others, "You should recognize this belt?" ”
Seeing the clothes belt, Dong Cheng and the others suddenly wilted.
Dong Cheng couldn't figure out why he had obviously hidden the white clothes belt and why it fell into Cao Cao's hands.
Returning to Cao Cao's side, Cao Shuo took the belt of his clothes, took out the edict from it, and asked Dong Cheng and the others: "This edict should not be from the hands of Your Majesty, right?" ”
"Cao thief is perverse, we eradicate the traitor on behalf of His Majesty, is it wrong?" Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Dong Cheng's eyes widened, and he simply turned his heart sideways and scolded Cao Cao.
"Enough!" Cao Shuo snorted and said coldly to Dong Cheng: "When others say such things, they may have some misunderstanding with their father. And when you Dong Cheng said such a thing, don't you think you are deceiving the world? ”
Dong Cheng's face was pale, and he was about to reply, when Cao Shuo continued: "You were the general of the Niu Auxiliary Department back then, and I was not wrong, right?" Dong Zhuo acted perversely, first deposing the young emperor, and then sending Li Ru to murder the first emperor. Where were you then? ”
was asked by Cao Shuo, Dong Cheng opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
"Traitor and rebel, just because Your Majesty was a little more tolerant of you and accepted your daughter as a concubine, you dare to falsely spread the holy will and try to murder the hero!" Cao Shuo said: "What my father has done for the Han family over the years is obvious to everyone in the world. If his father is a rebellious minister, how many heroes are willing to serve the Cao family? ”
Cao Shuo's words made Dong Cheng speechless.
Staring at Dong Cheng, Cao Shuo said again: "When Dong Zhuo caused trouble in Luoyang, and my father summoned the princes of the Fourteenth Route to go to the crusade, what was General Dong doing?" ”
"I ......" Dong Cheng opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
At the beginning, he was following Niu Fu and fighting against the army that was going to Luoyang.
Extrapolating the past, Cao Cao did make countless feats for the Han family, but he did many evil things that were enemies of the Han family.
"General Dong!" Cao Shuo leaned close to Dong Cheng's ear and said to him: "I know that this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, if you still have a little bit of the way of a minister, take this matter down like a man, don't implicate Your Majesty." ”
Staring at Cao Shuo, Dong Cheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Wu Shuo and the others lowered their heads one by one, not knowing what to say.
After all, what Cao Shuo said was the truth, and they couldn't find a reason to speak if they wanted to refute it.
"I admit it!" Dong Cheng finally said: "It's all me doing it alone!" ”
