Chapter Twenty-Six: The Last Resort
Although there are no horses, Lu Bu is still Lu Bu, how can these big-headed soldiers stop him with his martial arts? What's more, these soldiers have been following Lu Bu for a long time, how can they not know how powerful Lu Bu is? There was fear in his heart, and his courage was lost when he faced Lu Bu, even Hao Meng was not necessarily much stronger than these ordinary soldiers. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he came here to kill Lu Bu, to take refuge in Yuan Shu, and to save his own life. A military general of his level, if he doesn't have the determination to fight to the death in the face of Lu Bu, how can he be Lu Bu's opponent?
A seemingly vigorous rebellion was actually over the moment Lu Bu stepped out of the door. Although Hao Meng led his own personal guards, no matter how many sheep there were, how could he be the opponent of the tiger? The feather arrows were only released once, but unfortunately, the feather arrows that shot at Lu Bu were all separated by Lu Bu who was charging forward. After a round of arrows, Lu Bu had already entered the crowd. The guards behind him followed closely, tigers into the flock, some were just bloody killings, even Hao Meng, who came to fight with guns, was not Lu Bu's enemy.
The rebellion came suddenly, but it was not slow to end. As Hao Meng was killed by Lu Bu in one fell swoop, the rebels, who had already been frightened, even knelt on the ground and begged to surrender. The number of rebels who are still alive is not much, and 500 people are besieging Taishoufu, but unfortunately, in the end, there are less than 100 people who are still alive.
By the time Chen Gong and Cao Xing hurriedly arrived at Taishou Mansion, none of the rebels were still alive. Chen Gong's face was very bad, and Cao Xing's face was not very good. Anyway, Hao Meng is also an old man who has been fighting with Lu Bu for so many years, and now he openly rebelled and ended up dead, how could the two of them not sigh? Especially Cao Xing, in the early years, he was Hao Meng's subordinate, and it was only after Hao Meng officially joined Lu Bu that he was slowly appreciated by Lu Bu because of his military exploits. He and Hao Meng not only have the righteousness of comrades, but also have the grace of knowing him. This made Cao Xing, who saw Hao Meng's corpse, feel better?
In the lobby, Chen Gong's flushed face seemed to tell the chaos of his brain at this time. However, Lu Bu still asked coldly: "Military advisor, now that Cao Cao is about to overwhelm the territory, it seems that I am already unstable in the city of Pi." You say, "Is there any more fighting in this battle?" Speaking of this, Lu Bu's voice couldn't help but be much lower. At this time, Lu Bu no longer has the high-spirited appearance before the Tiger Prison.
When Chen Gong heard this, he muttered: "If you want to fight now, but with the next Pichengchi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the attack of Cao Cao's army." The general might as well lead the march of 30,000 horsemen and camp outside the city, and I will lead the rest of the men and horses to garrison the city, leaning on each other as a corner. Cao Cao's army came from afar, and now it has been more than two months, and the soldiers are tired. Moreover, it is now winter, the weather is getting colder, and the transfer of military supplies is even more difficult. If it can hold out for a month, Cao's army will return to Yanzhou. β
When Lu Bu heard this, he frowned and said: "Then Cao Cao has 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if I am stationed outside, if he divides his troops and comes, how can he resist?" At the beginning of Chen Liu, you also said that you would divide an army to be stationed outside, but in the end, I didn't stay overnight, and Chen Liu fell into the hands of Gao Ye. β
"Hmph, the high night plan can be used once, can it be used again? If we don't divide the troops, we will be surrounded in the city by Cao Cao's army, and we will still not be able to escape defeat at that time. Chen Gong shook his head and said, "Besides, if the lord goes out of the city and camps, the palace still has a plan, and he will definitely be able to retreat from the enemy in the future." Chen Gong said, and suddenly laughed at himself: "If you can't succeed, I think this is also my Chen Gongtai's last plan in this life." β
Lu Bu looked ahead in a daze, and suddenly said, "What if you surrender?" β
Chen Gong was shocked when he heard this: "Absolutely not! Not to mention that General Cao Xing and Na Xiahoudun had an enemy, Gong and Cao Cao had a grudge of teeth. Just say that the lord must not surrender to Cao Cao today, otherwise he will be killed! β
"Oh?" When Lu Bu heard this, he looked at Chen Gong playfully. When Hao Meng died, he asked him who was complicit with him, and Hao Meng's mouth spit out Chen Gong's name, and then he was angry. If it weren't for the fact that he still had doubts about this, and because he had to rely on Chen Gong at this time, he wouldn't have made any trouble. Now that he proposed to surrender to Chen Gong but said that it must not be, Lu Bu, who was puzzled in his heart, immediately asked, "Why?" With Mingxi here, I think I'll be safe and sound. β
"The lord is wrong in his words. Just because there is a high night, after the lord descends to Cao, the situation is even more difficult. Gao Ye has been in Cao Ying all these years, although he is always restrained, he never competes with others. But over the years, he has still made many contributions, and he seems to have secured the position of the second person in Cao Ying. Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others are all his old subordinates, and there is more support from the Yingchuan family behind him, such a character, do you think Cao Cao is not worried in his heart? If the lord voted for Cao Cao, in his eyes, the lord is in the same vein as Gao Ye, after all, you and Gao Ye have known each other as early as Wuyuan, and they have fought side by side together. If the lord is a person who does nothing, he throws himself into Cao Cao and has the protection of the high night, so he will naturally be fine. However, the lord is a well-known brave general in the world, Gao Ye is already suspected of being a high master, and the Yingchuan line is full of talents, and the lord has greatly increased the strength of the Gao Ye camp. When the time comes, I am afraid that Cao Cao will think about it, that is, how to be careful, and in the end, he will be impatient, and it is his Cao Mengde's style to raise the butcher knife once and for all. Chen Gong's words were full of emotion, and Lu Bu on the side was also drenched in cold sweat when he heard it. I originally wanted to take refuge in Cao Cao, firstly, with my own ability, and secondly, I had the existence of a high night, and whatever I said, I should also live a nourishing life. Although he felt that what Chen Gong said was just an excuse because he didn't want to let himself go to Cao Cao. But I have to say that what he said is still very reasonable. Although he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die with him even more.
Especially when I heard Chen Gongyan: "LΓΌ Buwei helped Qin Yiren ascend the throne as king, and was forced to commit suicide; Li Muzuo, King Zhao, moved north to break the Xiongnu west to resist the Qin army, and was unjustly killed; The Marquis of Huaiyin set the world for Gaozu and died at the hands of a woman. These three are all highly meritorious, and they are jealous of the king! Lu Bu's heart was even more like a mess, but then he heard Chen Gongyan say: "Even if the lord wants to leave, he should go to Huainan." Even if it wants to fall, it should be surrendered to Yuan Shu! β
When Lu Bu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Now that the victory or defeat is not decided, this matter will not be forgotten for the time being." Gongtai, you just said that there is a plan, and the plan will be released? β
said that Cao Cao, who was on the other side, finally received the news of the arrival of the two counties of Donghai and Guangling, and there was even better news from Langya. Especially his son Cao Ang, who went to danger in person, said that it was the first thing to surrender to Zangba, so how could he not be happy with his long face? Now the situation is very good, and only Lu Bu in Xiapi is left in the land of Xuzhou. All parts of the country have been victorious, their men and horses have finished resting, and the winter clothes have been transported to Xuzhou.
Cao Cao, who just sent troops to Xiapi, never thought that Lu Bu would actually build a new battalion outside the city, garrisoning here, and it was even more of a rivalry with Xiapi City. In this way, if you want to attack Xiapi, you have to spend a lot of time. Fortunately, although Lu Bu is brave, there are still Zhao Yun and Guan Yu to block; Although Chen Gong is wise, there are also Guo Jia and Xun You. Now under the great victory, the morale of his own soldiers is high. And Lu Bujun heard that a rebellion broke out not long ago, and the morale was low, which can be imagined. Now it's indeed time to completely pacify Lu Bu and take Xuzhou!
More than 50 miles outside the city of Xiapi, the two formations were in a circle, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu met again before the battle, but it was very different from the last time. Cao Cao can be said to be in high spirits at the moment, and although Lu Bu is undiminished, the worry between his brows still can't escape the eyes of a clear-eyed person. Fifty thousand soldiers have no fighting spirit, how can the main general be fierce? The battle didn't even take an hour before it ended in the hasty retreat of Lu Bu's army.
After the battle, the morale of Lu Bu's army was even lower Cao Cao doesn't know, but the morale of his own soldiers is not high now. Cao Cao said, everyone worked hard, won the battle and went home for the New Year!
Cao Cao, who was in the big tent, was still happy, and Dong Zhao beside him even congratulated: "The lord's victory today shows that Lu Bu's army is already vulnerable. Taking Xuzhou is just around the corner, and the ministers congratulate the lord! β
Cheng Yu also smiled on the side: "If Lu Bu doesn't come out, if we want to storm Pi, maybe we will have to spend some time." Now that Lu Bu is abnormal, he wants to go out of the city to fight with our army, but he is really killing himself! β
Xun You frowned on the side and said, "Although Lu Bu is not good at trickery, he is also a general in the end. Chen Gong is resourceful, how can he let Lu Bu lead his troops out of the city to fight with our army? If something goes wrong, there is a demon, I think there is a problem here! β
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I see, that Chen Gong is now dizzy, and he is no longer the wisdom of his usual life!" Or, Lu Bu insisted on going his own way, and he wanted to lead the army to fight to the death with our army. Now we have 100,000 soldiers and horses on the side, and only Pi has not captured the land of Xuzhou, even if Chen Gong has a plan, we are waiting for dignified soldiers, what is there to be afraid of. Gongda, you don't have to worry about it. β
Hearing this, Xun You nodded and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." It's just that Lu Bu was defeated today, but he never returned to the city, but retreated five miles to the village, I always felt that something was wrong. And don't you think that Lu Bu's defeat today is really too easy? β
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "Lu Bu's army has no fighting spirit now, and he Lu Bu attacked and was blocked by Zilong and Yun Chang, and it is also a proper duty to retreat." Didn't he retreat five miles to the village, let's send troops tomorrow and meet him again......"
For five days in a row, Lu Bu's army lost five battles in a row, and now it has retreated to the large camp built by Chen Gong outside Xiapi City in these days. Cao Cao pressed step by step, camping directly outside Xiapi City, on the one hand, preparing to besiege Xiapi City, and on the other hand, he was also guarding against the sneak attack of Lu Bu's army.
In the entire camp, there was a completely happy appearance, and even Guo Jia, Cao Cao and others were all smiling, discussing how to get Xiapi City. At this moment, a figure hurriedly rushed into the account, bowed and said, "Good Chen Gongtai, this calculation is really worthy of the name of a wise man." Now the lord is rejoicing, don't you know that we are already in danger? β
