Chapter 125 - Desperate Sun Fu (First Update)
Chapter 125 - Desperate Sun Fu
Because of Yuan Shao's sudden advance, Cao Cao also set his sights on the land of Guandu, and he had already decided to ignore the Jiangdong Rebellion, and now he couldn't worry about this kind of thing.
He clearly knew that the outcome of this battle would determine the position of the northern overlord.
In this case, Cao Cao could only arrange the affairs of Xu Du as soon as possible, and then experience the battlefield in person.
Speaking of which, although Cao Cao wants to occupy the world, he is still loyal to the Han in his heart.
At least he didn't go too far with Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven.
If he really didn't have a trace of loyalty to the big man in his heart, then based on what Liu Xie did at the beginning, I was afraid that he would have already attacked Liu Xie, how could he just beat him like now.
Yes, in Cao Cao's eyes, his killing of Dong Cheng, killing the ambush, and killing the queen were all just beating Liu Xie.
He naturally could see that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had his own ideas.
If it is in the prosperous world, it should be a king of success.
If it is in the pioneering stage of one poor and two white, it should also be a Ming monarch similar to Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu.
However, now it is in the troubled times, and it is the same troubled times as the end of the Qin Dynasty, how can the princes of all walks of life respect the Son of Heaven, in this case, the thoughts in Liu Xie's heart can only be ideas.
Even in Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Xie's thoughts were just a little cleverness that popped up from time to time in his heart. In this troubled world, these thoughts will only make the world more chaotic.
Just as Cao Cao said when he took Liu Xie to Xu Du, in his opinion, if he wants to bring the world back to stability, the only way to restrain it is to restrain external forces and regulate desires and hearts according to law.
And this must require Liu Xie to be a symbol of power and law that cannot be offended!
Yes, just a symbol!
Now is not a peaceful and prosperous era, if you have to meddle in everything, the troubled times will only become more chaotic, and this is why Cao Cao hopes that Liu Xie will not interfere in political affairs at will.
However, Liu Xie did not understand this, in his opinion, he was the son of heaven, and naturally had the right to rule the world on behalf of heaven. But Cao Cao did not let him meddle in political affairs, and even used absolute force to force him.
This inevitably makes Liu Xie think that he is a puppet.
So it was in this situation that Liu Xie became more and more distrustful of Cao Cao, and under the bewitchment of old ministers like Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, he came to the current situation step by step.
Liu Xie really became a puppet in Cao Cao's hands, and Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and others were also killed by Cao Cao.
In fact, Cao Cao didn't care about Liu Xie's distrust at all.
The vision and pattern of the two are not at the same level.
Liu Xie only saw the throne in front of him, and was worried that Cao Cao would one day kill the emperor and usurp the throne.
But what Cao Cao saw was the whole world!
What he wants is the stability of the whole world, not the turmoil it is today.
All those who hinder him from pacifying the world and classify him as stable are obstacles in front of him!
Yuan Shu is, so is Yuan Shao!
Sun Ce is, so is Sun Quan!
Liu Bei is, and so is Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven!
Yes, at this moment, Cao Cao and Liu Xie are completely on the opposite side!
Cao Cao is no longer loyal to the Son of Heaven, but to the Han family, the whole world.
Therefore, when Cao Cao led his army to leave Xudu, he also let his brothers lead a team of tigers and leopards into the palace, and completely locked Liu Xie in a golden wire cage called "Imperial Palace".
It's not that he doesn't trust the Jinwuwei, it's just that the Tiger and Leopard Rider is more deterrent than the Zhijin Wuwei who defended the palace.
After all, this is also the most powerful cavalry force in Cao Cao's hands.
……
At this time, in Xichang City, the seat of Luling Governance, Sun Fu's eyes were already full of despair.
It had been another four days since he had sent his henchmen to Xu Du, and he watched with his own eyes on the city wall as those people rushed out of Lu Xun's encirclement and headed all the way to the north.
Originally, he thought that reinforcements would definitely come, but it shouldn't be long.
Without considering whether the horses could bear it, it only took three days to get reinforcements back from Cao Cao.
In order to boost the morale of the city, he did tell the soldiers who defended the city in this way.
The soldiers, who were already extremely unstable, also saw that someone had broken through the siege under the city, so when Sun Fu said that there would be reinforcements in three days, it also improved their morale a lot, and suppressed the situation that they might have been roaring at any time.
At the same time, in order to quench their thirst, many soldiers could only kill horses and drink blood to survive.
It's just that drinking blood is always just drinking to quench your thirst, and it won't be long before you feel thirstier.
And the horses were the companions of the cavalry, and after being killed by the infantry, no one would feel better, but they also knew that they had to hold on at this moment, so they endured their pain.
In the end, however, the truth is brutal.
The reinforcements that were supposed to appear did not appear, which made the cavalrymen's hearts ache again, because they felt that the death of their companions did not give them a chance to hold on, but instead plunged them into more cruel despair.
This makes them feel that their companions' deaths are worthless.
In this case, the infantry ran into the stables of the cavalry and tried to kill the horses and drink blood.
Needless to say, this behavior of the infantry finally provoked the wrath of the cavalry.
In the hearts of these cavalrymen, they can only think about why our war horses must be killed, just to let your infantry drink blood to quench their thirst!
When Sun Fu learned the news, he already understood that he was already in a desperate situation at this moment.
Camp howling, or rather bombing the camp, is already an inevitable thing.
He was already sure that there would be no reinforcements.
If there were reinforcements, they would have arrived a long time ago, not by now.
And in the case that there will be no reinforcements, once there is a camp roar, then he has no power to stop it, and can only watch the storm swallow him up, leaving no wreckage.
Sun Fu knew that this was his end.
However, his heart is really unwilling, but what can he do if he is unwilling!
Does he still have a chance to turn the tables around?
No, he doesn't have any chances anymore!
His future is already predestined and nothing will change!
The only thing he could do was to look desperately at the darkness engulfing him!
And just when he was desperate, a camp roar that determined his end finally broke out in the barracks......
