"Report, Qi Wei King! Cao De ran away! ”

Cao Pi had just asked the guards to dispose of the corpses of the assassins, who had been unable to pick up, when a soldier came running to report the worst news.

"What? Ran away? What do you do? How many waves of ambushes did Lone arrange, what did they do? Cao Pi's heart was shocked and shouted.

"King Wei, the ambushes you arranged are all on the south and north sides, and the east side is at least ......"

"Bang!" When Cao Pi heard this, he kicked the soldier on the shoulder. "It's Lonely's Fault!"

"King Wei spares his life, King Wei spares his life......" The soldier hurriedly fell to the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Pull it down, chop it!" "King Wei spares his life, King Wei spares his life......" Cao Pi said ruthlessly, and a good human head rolled to the ground.

"How did Cao De escape?" Cao Pi asked another soldier who had come with him.

"King Qiwei. The soldiers chased Cao De and ran out for nearly ten miles. Seeing that he was about to catch up with Cao De, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu appeared! The soldier shuddered.

"Zhao Yun? Lu Bu? Go back to Luoyang immediately! When Cao Pi heard these two names, he immediately said in shock.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu are here, what does that mean, the other party must have brought reinforcements. On his side, there are more than 6,300 people in total, and if you add the soldiers who are in ambush all around, there are less than 8,000. But when Cao De was encircled and suppressed before, the 6,000 main force had already lost more than 3,000 before and after. How could it be possible to block Cao De's reinforcements again.

The most important thing now is no longer to kill Cao De, but whether Cao Pi can save his life.

In a small county town more than eighty miles east of Luoyang, Cao De finally joined the army brought by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng has arrived, quickly open the city gate!" Zhao Yun's personal guard captain temporarily acted as Cao De's herald, shouting loudly at the county defenders who were facing a great enemy.

"Cao, Prime Minister Cao? But Cao De, Cao Gong? "The county magistrate was already panicked when he received a report from his subordinates that a large army had been found outside the city.

"It's Prime Minister Cao Cheng, quickly open the city gate. Otherwise, once the army breaks through the city, you will be called a chicken and a dog! ”

Besiege? How can you still attack the city?

Cao Pi and Cao De turned their faces, it only happened for half a day, and this is just a small county order, so they naturally don't know about Cao Pi's big move.

In less than a cup of tea, the gate of the county seat slowly opened. Originally, the county commander wanted to go out of the city to greet him, but he was immediately stopped by the knights who rushed into the city. Next, in the stunned eyes of the county commander, it only took a quarter of an hour for the knights to change the west gate and west city wall of the county town into knights in red uniforms.

As soon as Cao De came to the county mansion and sat down, a soldier ran over, "Prime Minister, General Zhao and General Lu are back." They, they also brought back General Pei......"

"Got it, you go down!" Cao De's buttocks, which he had just sat down, were raised again. "Fan'er helped me go out to greet Pei Yuanshao."

Pei Yuanshao has stayed by Cao De's side since he followed Cao De. That's fifteen years. Although Pei Yuanshao has a lot of problems, Cao De is also used to it.

Cao De had just walked out of the county mansion, and Zhao Yun and Lu Bu personally carried a simple stretcher and walked to the door of the county mansion. On the stretcher, there was also a bright red cloak. And behind Zhao Yun was the county order of this city.

"Prime Minister, the soldiers are still cleaning up the bodies of the guards, and the last general and General Lu stayed with General Pei to come back first." Zhao Yun's voice was very low.

Cao De stepped forward, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently lifted one corner of the cloak.

"Prime Minister, when his subordinates found General Pei, General Pei was hit by six arrows and four stab wounds. Moreover, General Pei's eyes have not been closed. ”

Cao De lifted his cloak, although Pei Yuanshao's eyes had lost their brilliance, they were still staring as if they were about to protrude, and Pei Yuanshao's mouth was still wide open, as if he was about to shout something.

"Pei Yuanshao, I'm safe, you did your best, you're loyal!" Cao De said slowly, reaching out and wiping Pei Yuanshao's eyes.

Cao Fan saw very clearly behind Cao De, and when Cao De's hand wiped Pei Yuanshao's eyes, a crystal and turbid drop of water slowly slipped from the corner of Pei Yuanshao's eyes.

Suddenly, "Cao Fan." ”

"The child is here!"

"Wash General Pei's body for me. There can be no trace of dirt. Cao De raised his palm as he spoke, Pei Yuanshao's eyes that were originally angry and round had been closed, and Pei Yuanshao's mouth didn't know when it was closed.

"No!" Cao Fan solemnly agreed.

"Zhao Yun, six hundred guards, only twenty-three people came back alive with me. The bodies of the five hundred and seventy-seven killed in the battle must all be found. Cao De spoke, and gently covered Pei Yuanshao with his cloak. Where is the prefectural order? ”

"Small, villain!" The county magistrate was already stupefied when he saw this scene. And now when he heard Cao De's call, he was even more frightened, and hurried up.

"Find the best carpenter in the city, and make me five hundred and seventy-eight fine coffins. Gives you two days. ”

"Cao Gong, two days, five hundred and seventy-eight mouths! Time is ...... at all," the county commander said in embarrassment when he heard it.

"There are only two days, and if it can't be completed, everyone in this city will die!" Cao De's original voice had always been very low, but this sentence was ...... Cao De had just finished speaking, and suddenly remembered something, but could they enjoy this?

"Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, come with me!" At this moment, Zhao Yun found that Cao De's back seemed to be a little awkward.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"Back to the prime minister, after receiving the prime minister's military order, his subordinates did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the city with General Lu with the fastest marching speed, the flying wolf Colonel Zuo, and there are only 5,000 cavalry in the city at present. Mr. Yuanzhi and Mr. Fengxiao were worried about the safety of the prime minister, and they also sent General Xiahou to lead the White Tiger to rush here. ”

"The army rested in the city for two days. I'm going to rest too! ”

Cao De was tired, very tired. Not only because of the physical strength expended when escaping, but also because of the tiredness in my heart.

Cao Pi betrayed, and Cao De could accept it. After all, Cao De still knew some of what Cao Pi had done in his previous life, and today Cao Pi betrayed him, and Cao De was not too surprised.

However, Pei Yuanshao died, and five hundred and seventy-seven guards also died!

There is no need to talk about Pei Yuanshao anymore, just the five hundred and seventy-seven personal guards, among whom have followed Cao De the longest, have been for eighteen years. At that time, they were still ordinary soldiers in the Heavy Hammer Battalion, and because of the battle under the city of Jibei, they survived by luck, and they became Cao De's personal guards until now.

However, even today, they have not escaped death, death in the war. They died, and went to look for the robes that had died in battle twenty years earlier.

"Prime Minister!" Cao De had just walked into the county mansion, and before he could enter the door, a kneeling voice suddenly sounded behind Cao De.

Cao De turned his head, it was the twenty-three guards who had escaped death, and the twenty-three guards who were not injured.

"Prime Minister, the brothers are all dead, and we were lucky enough to save our lives because we followed the Prime Minister all the way. Originally, the subordinates should have felt lucky. But in the hearts of his subordinates now, in addition to guilt, it is regret. Why wasn't it the subordinates who rushed up in the first place? ”

Cao De listened quietly and looked straight at the twenty-three people.

"We know that the prime minister will take revenge. And just recently. Prime Minister, there is a request from a subordinate. ”

"Say!"

"Prime Minister, please punish your subordinates for the crime of leaving their posts without permission. Because, when the subordinates want the prime minister to take revenge, the subordinates will be the first to set foot on the wall of Luoyang City! The subordinates want to avenge the brothers! ”

"Prime Minister, so are your subordinates!"

"Prime Minister......

……

"Prime Minister, there is another request from my subordinates. If the prime minister wants to be punished, please avenge his brothers after his subordinates. ”

"Accurate!"
