Chapter 249 White Gate Tower
The night seemed to pass quickly, and in an instant, it quietly left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Looking at Lu Lingqi snuggled in his arms, Xun Gang had the consciousness of being a man for the first time. Whether in his previous life or in this life, this is the first time he has this kind of enlightenment.
The joy of the bed is only short-lived, and only the true love between a man and a woman can last forever. Xun Gang gently stroked Lu Lingqi's hair, and for some reason, the anxiety in his heart calmed down.
The sky was just dawning, but he heard a burst of bad horses roaring in the distance, Xun Gang was very weird, he didn't expect Chen Zhi to rush in with red eyes, looked at the naked Xun Gang on the bed and didn't salute, and hurriedly said: "Taifu, Cao Jun has entered the city!" ”
"What?"
As if sensing that something was wrong, Xun Gang hurriedly put on his clothes, tucked the corners tightly, and secretly took Chen Zhi out of the door, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
"It is said that Lu Bu's subordinates Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng were executed after fearing that Cao's army broke the city, Wei Xu and Song Xian stole Lu Bu's red rabbit horse overnight and escaped from the city to surrender to Cao Cao, Cao Cao took Hou Cheng as an internal response last night and waited for an opportunity to attack the city, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong were exhausted, and were tied up by Hou Cheng and his men, and escorted to Cao Cao's army, and Xiapi was already lost!"
This...... Why so fast?
Lu Bu has obviously changed his personality, but Wei Xu and the three still surrendered to Cao Cao, why is this? Could it be because he entered the city yesterday that Wei Xu and the three of them realized the danger, so they surrendered in advance?
"That's it...... Sooner or later, Xiapi will also be captured, which also reduces the possibility of Xiapi slaughtering the city. ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard the sound of soldiers and horses moving outside Lu Bu's mansion, and before long, Wei Yan and Cao Ren entered Lu Bu's mansion together, and they didn't seem surprised to see Xun Gang, and arched their hands and said: "Taifu, the prime minister, please go to the White Gate Tower." ”
White Gate Tower...... Is it finally time for the Flying Commander to fall?
Xun Gang nodded, and instructed the two: "Don't disturb Lu Bu's family, let alone condone the looting of soldiers, and ...... If there's a girl who is noisy, leave her alone, but don't move her either, whoever moves me is in a hurry! ”
Wei Yan understood that Xun Gang was talking about his little lover, smiled slightly in his heart, and immediately responded; And Cao Ren is Cao Cao's subordinate, although Xun Gang is dissatisfied with his own order, but thinking that what Xun Gang said is not unreasonable, he immediately surrendered yes.
Xun Gang led Chen out of Lu Bu's mansion, two horses had been prepared outside the door, and the two of them ran south all the way to the south with the water in Xiapi City. The White Gate Tower is the south gate of Xiapi, and it is named "White Gate Tower" because the gate tower is stacked with white buildings.
Cao Cao stood in front of the gatehouse, with a solemn expression, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong behind him were guards; Liu Bei in the left rear was respectful, but the heat in his eyes did not seem to be a lot, Guan Yu followed, and the two of them must be excited to be able to avenge Xuzhou.
Xun Gang looked at this person and knew that Liu Bei must not have taken Cao Cao's life into account and persuaded Lu Bu to kill him.
Later, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others all accompanied Cao Cao, and when they saw Xun Gang coming, they hurriedly got out of the way and led him to Cao Cao.
"Taifu is here? Please, please, please. ”
Cao Cao looked at Xun Gang's eyes and seemed to be a little different, and when Xun Gang stood beside him, he actually joked: "I don't know if Taifu slept peacefully last night?" ”
Xun Gang smiled: "It's very unstable!" ”
Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed, no longer speaking, after all, how could a man not understand what the other party meant?
Liu Bei saw that Xun Gang and Cao Cao had a good relationship, and felt uneasy in his heart, he would kill this Lu Bu today, but Xun Gang would not be able to clean up in the future......
"Prisoners Chen Gong and Lu Bu are here!"
Cao Hong snorted softly, and before long, he saw two executioners escorting Chen Gong forward and kneeling down the steps; Not long after, Lu Bu was also escorted up, looking at Cao Cao and not speaking, but looking at Liu Bei and Xun Gang beside him, his eyes seemed to have changed slightly.
"Fengxian, if you are defeated today, what words do you have to say to me?"
Cao Cao smiled slightly, and it couldn't be more comfortable to laugh at a fierce tiger. Sure enough, Lu Bu still wanted to live, so he said: "In today's battle, Bu admires the prestige of the prime minister, if the prime minister leads the foot soldiers, cloth leads the cavalry, and dominates the world, who dares to be?" ”
Cao Cao didn't seem surprised, but he didn't answer Lu Bu immediately, but turned his head to look at Chen Gong and asked, "Gongtai dedicated Yanzhou and Lu Bu before, did you ever think that there would be a defeat today?" ”
"Even though Lu Bu is brave, he is not as insidious and cunning as you!"
"You took advantage of my attack on Xuzhou to offer Yanzhou with Zhang Miao, how can you say that I am insidious and cunning?"
Chen Gong was silent.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong for a long time and asked, "Is the public platform willing to surrender to me?" ”
"I'd rather die!"
Cao Cao shook his head: "If Gongtai dies, what about the children in the family?" ”
"I have heard that those who rule the world with filial piety do not hurt their families; The old and young of the palace, it all depends on the disposal of Ming Gong! ”
After saying that, Chen Gong got up and walked straight to the bottom of the city tower, his eyes were resolute and he was not afraid of death. Cao Cao cherished his loyalty and said goodbye in person, but when he saw his head falling, his face was moved and he was not very sad. Immediately ordered that all the old and young Chen Gong be sent to Xuchang for support, and there should be no mistake.
But at this time, Lu Bu looked at Xun Gang, and then at Liu Bei, his eyes seemed to be pleading, and he only said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, today Your Excellency is a guest, and a certain prisoner; Thinking of the halberd shooting in Yuanmen back then, I hope Xuande can save me! ”
Liu Bei saw Lu Bu begging him like this, he felt very happy in his heart, and he intended to fix him, so he pretended to be annoyed and nodded, Lu Bu was overjoyed, looked at Xun Gang again, and asked, "Taifu, can you meet with Lingqi?" ”
Xun Gang nodded, as if he was a little curious why Lu Bu didn't ask him for help. Suddenly, he reacted, Lu Bu changed his personality and could beg Liu Bei for mercy, but he was already his son-in-law in name, how could there be a reason for his father-in-law to beg his son-in-law for mercy?
"This Lu Bu...... Just begging Liu Bei, isn't it looking for death? ”
Xun Gang naturally knew what Liu Bei would say later, and as soon as these words came out, with Cao Cao's suspicious character, he was afraid that Lu Bu would definitely die. He looked in the direction of the strategist group and saw that Guo Jia was looking at him, as if he was asking for his opinion, after all, Cao Cao would ask them later.
Xun Gang nodded at him, which meant "stay".
Guo Jia understood, seemed to be discussing something with Xun You, and said something to Cheng Yu, and the two nodded their heads and stopped talking.
Not long after, Cao Cao returned, looked at Lu Bu at the bottom of the stairs, and asked, "Feng Xian is willing to surrender to me?" ”
"If Ming Gong does not give up, he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"
"But the tiger is on the side...... Don't be careless! Cao Cao said again.
Maybe Lu Bu really doesn't care about death, but if he can live, what if he endures thousands of years of infamy? As long as he can be with his family, then Lu Bu is already satisfied. He doesn't have much ambition now, he just wants to live the rest of his life in peace. Naturally, Cao Cao wanted him to die, and he was able to accept it.
Seeing that Lu Bu did not answer, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then faced Guo Jia and the others and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Xun Youdao, the leader: "My lord, I once heard that after Lu Bu returned from Yuzhou, his temperament changed, and he loved the people like a son. The ancients said: 'Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great!' Since Lu Bu has such a transformation, why not use it for the Lord's father? ”
Cheng Yu also said: "Lu Bu was the enemy of the lord before, and now he is willing to surrender, how can the lord refuse?" ”
Xun Gang was shocked, these two should have advocated killing Lu Bu, and it was Guo Jia who said something to the two that caused them to change their minds...... When did Guo Jia become so eloquent?
Liu Bei's expression on the side was not good-looking, now that Cao Cao's strategist said so, how much gold did his words have? If you can't kill Lu Bu, how can you face Zhang Fei?
Liu Bei was anxious.
Cao Cao was silent, as if he didn't expect the two of them to say this, and when he saw that Guo Jia was silent, he asked, "What is Fengxiao's plan?" ”
Guo Jia turned his head and said with a slight smile: "The one who can tolerate the enemy is none other than the saint!" ”
When Xun Gang heard this, he couldn't help but give Guo Jia a thumbs up.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was overjoyed, but he seemed to be interested in seeing Liu Bei and Xungang's plans, so he asked, "What does Xuande think?" ”
As expected, Liu Bei replied: "Doesn't the public hear about Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo?" ”
When Lu Bu heard Liu Bei's words, he was horrified, and then he understood Liu Bei's danger, but he didn't say a word. He knew that Liu Bei's words and Cao Cao's advisor's words just offset, if Cao Cao asked Xun Gang again, Xun Gang couldn't answer an answer that satisfied Cao Cao, but he was afraid that his life and death would be unpredictable.
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was dumbfounded, indeed, Lu Bu was treacherous, and the world knew it, even if his temperament changed, who knew what would happen to him after he was surrendered? Immediately fell into a tangle.
Finally, he looked at Xun Gang.
"What does Taifu think?"
