Chapter 230: The Tiger Returns to the Sky
Blood, flowing down the horse's back, quickly stained the ground red.
A fragment of the chest was shattered, and a wound that ran diagonally from the chest to the abdomen was clearly visible. A mist of blood erupted from the wound, staining Lu Bu's cheeks red. The painting halberd in his hand seemed to have become a thousand pounds heavy, which made Lu Bu feel a little struggling. He had thought of many endings, but he had never thought of them. Sneak attack...... That's right, the dignified tiger was killed by a sneak attack in the end...... A wave of anger suddenly surged into my heart.
Lu Bu raised his head to the sky and roared, and the Red Rabbit hissing Wind Beast also let out a terrible roar.
"Guan Yu, take your life!"
Lu Bu roared, picked up the halberd of the painting pole, and rushed towards Guan Yu.
At this moment, Guan Yu didn't even have the strength to stand. Seeing the red rabbit horse rushing towards him, Danfeng's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his gray face showed a look of despair. He never expected that Lu Bu was so seriously injured that he still had the strength to spare.
"Second brother, get out of the way."
Zhang Fei rushed over and couldn't help but scream when he saw this scene.
It's a pity that Guan Yu still has the strength to dodge at the moment, and he couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw Lu Bu rushing towards him, and the halberd of the painting rod fell.
Ding, a halberd flew in, and it was painted on the halberd in the middle.
The huge force made the original trajectory of the halberd of the painting rod detached, sticking to Guan Yu's body, and with a pop, it sank into the ground.
The red rabbit horse then stopped, and Lu Bu sat on the horse's back like this, his body maintaining the posture of swinging his halberd and splitting down, motionless.
Guan Yu's whole person seemed to be collapsed, and he sat in the ruins with a thud. He looked up, but saw that Lu Bu's face was as usual, his eyes were wide, but he had no breath. For some reason, Guan Yu was furious, got up and rushed over, and pushed Lu Bu off the horse. Lu Bu's body fell into the dust, and the painting pole halberd fell to the ground. Guan Yu picked up the big knife, and when he got up and fell, he was about to cut off Lu Bu's head. At this moment, I heard someone shouting: "Guan Yu, the person is dead, why bother to trample the corpse again." β
Following the voice, Guan Yu looked.
I saw Dian Wei wearing heavy armor and urging him to step forward.
With a mocking look in his eyes, he snorted coldly, jumped off his horse, bent down, and picked up the halberd that had fallen to the ground.
It turned out that the person who saved Guan Yu just now was Dian Wei.
"Although the people of Lu Bu are unbearable, they can be regarded as brave people. If you kill him, you will kill him, why bother to destroy his corpse...... Now it is said that the tiger has returned to the sky, but I don't know when I will meet such characters again. Someone came, collected Wen Hou's body, and took away all the weapons and horses. β
Dian Wei's words carried a hint of pity.
Speaking of which, he had fought face-to-face with Lu Bu, and he was also amazed by Lu Bu's martial arts.
Zhang Fei urged him to step forward, and when he heard that Dian Wei was going to rein in Lu Bu's weapons and horses, he was immediately furious. He rushed forward on a prancing horse and stopped Dian Wei.
"Dian Wei, you are so shameless.
Lu Bu was killed by my brother, why did you take the horses and weapons? β
Dian Wei's tiger eyes widened, his cloudy yellow eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "Just because I am Dian Wei, do you want to stop me?" β
Zhang Fei was furious and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Guan Yu.
"The third brother is rude, if [***] Zhonglang just now, I have died.
Dian Zhonglang, don't worry about my brother. He didn't mean anything, but he was just reckless, and asked Dian Zhonglang to take the horses and weapons away. β
Dian Wei glanced at Guan Yu, nodded, and left.
Xu Chu Xiahoudun and others stepped forward and greeted Dian Wei, and then congratulated Guan Yu again, and each led his troops away.
Zhang Fei dismounted, supported Guan Yu, and asked angrily, "Second brother, why did you put up with that Dian Junming just now?" I'm not afraid of this guy. β
"I know you're not afraid, but we're under the fence now.
Dian Wei is Cao Ying's confidant and favorite general, if you conflict with him, won't you cause trouble for your brother? And didn't you just see that? Once you and Dian Wei make a move, Xu Chu Xiahoudun will never stand idly by. Although you are said to be superb in martial arts, if you want to deal with the three of them joining forces, I am afraid that there are still some shortcomings. I've been seriously wounded again, and I'll have to watch you die at the hands of all three of them. β
"They dare!"
Guan Yu snorted coldly, "They do dare."
Cao Ying has always been jealous of his brother, but he has no chance to start. If you did it just now, they killed you, Cao Ying not only wouldn't blame, but even applauded. There are Cao Jun all around here, if you and I really have an accident, wouldn't my brother be even weaker? Anyway, Lu Bu died at my hands, and even if they got horses and weapons, they didn't want to seize the credit. So, you don't need to argue with Dian Wei. β
Guan Yu's words made Zhang Fei have nothing to say.
Although I am a little unwilling in my heart, I also know that how can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves.
He gritted his teeth and slammed his feet.
"Second brother, how are you injured?"
"It's okay...... Guan Yu said, suddenly coughing violently and spurting out a mouthful of blood.
He let out a sigh and shook his head slightly, "I thought I had overestimated Lu Bu, but I didn't think about it...... It's a good thing that he died, otherwise there would really be no one in the world.
Let's go, let's meet up with my brother and then make a decision. β
After that, Guan Yu walked slowly with Zhang Fei's support...... Behind him, Cao's soldiers also began to clean up the battlefield.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ "Lu Bu is dead!" β
When the drums of war and the shouts of killing stopped, Cao Peng suddenly felt a feeling of emptiness in his heart.
A generation of brave men died like this! The first military general of the Three Kingdoms has returned to his hometown. He couldn't help but sigh and looked at Cao Hong.
Cao Hong said softly: "Get ready, we're going to enter the inner city!" β
Cao Peng nodded and turned to leave.
He suddenly felt an urge not to stay any longer.
When he returned to his camp, Gan Ning had already returned.
"It's all arranged?"
"It's arranged...... Ziyou took over, and now it's almost the next phase. β
Cao Peng felt a little relieved.
No matter what, he at least kept Lu Bu's blood and bones from being violated. With his current ability, that's all he can do.
In fact, from the beginning, Cao Peng never thought that Lu Bu would be able to fight his way out of the encirclement alive.
That's right, Lu Bu is very powerful.
The crotch dismounted, and the halberd was drawn in the palm of his hand, and it was improper. But the problem is that at this moment, Cao Ying's account can be said to have gathered heroes from all over the world. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Xu Huang...... Including Cao Hong, which one is not brave and good at fighting? Not to mention, the three of Liu Guanzhang are also not good at their generation. With so many people gathered together, it would be a joke if Lu Bu was allowed to run away.
"After dawn, let's go to Xu County."
"Whoa!"
Cao Peng scratched his head, waved his hand and ordered, and advanced into the inner city.
However, with the death of LΓΌ Bu in battle, the inner city has lost its ability to resist. Those soldiers who had no fighting intentions, after learning the news of Lu Bu's death, automatically opened the city gate and put down their weapons. Cao Peng and Gan Ning led three hundred black soldiers into the inner city through the southeast side gate.
Along the way, they only heard about Lu Bu's terrifying achievements.
LΓΌ Bu led 800 dead soldiers to break through the siege, killing and wounding more than 1,000 of Cao's army. Lu Bu charged all the way, killing more than 30 generals of Cao Junxiao, and seriously injured a super-first-class general like Guan Yu before he died. And died in the hands of Lu Bu, and those nameless and nameless Cao soldiers were countless.
Even Gan Ning couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Huhu, so brave?"
"It's a pity that I've returned to the world."
Cao Peng sighed and said suddenly, "Xingba, do you regret it?" β
"Regrets?"
"If it weren't for me dragging you down, maybe it would be you who killed Lu Bu, not Guan Yu."
"What is there to brag about such achievements?" Gan Ning snorted coldly, with an expression of indifference.
Perhaps, he had already heard about the process of Guan Yu killing Lu Bu. For Gan Ning, that kind of sneak attack is really inhumane.
Cao Peng smiled and didn't speak again.
When the two of them passed through the gate of the royal city, they saw several guards escorting Chen Gong out.
"Chen Junshi!"
Cao Peng dismounted and saluted Chen Gong.
That Chen Gong glanced at Cao Peng, and only smiled slightly, which was regarded as a return gift, but he did not make a sound.
"What's the situation?"
The guard who escorted Chen Gong said: "Sikong persuaded him to surrender just now, but he was scolded by him. There was no way, Sikong had no choice but to order him to be killed...... However, he made a request, hoping to die in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu's body is now resting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we will take him to the execution. β
Cao Peng watched Chen Gong's back leave, and let out another long sigh.
"If Chen Gong can assist Lu Bu from the beginning, he will do his best to assist Lu Bu; If Lu Bu had started from the beginning, he would have listened to Chen Gong's strategy. One can be martial and the other can be literate, if these two people work together, at least one of the princes can sit on the throne...... It's a pity, it's a pity that these two people did it. β
Gan Ning said softly: "Childe seems to be quite emotional? β
"It's not emotional, I just feel that these two people are ...... Forget it, don't talk about it! Let's go and bid farewell to Cao Gong, and then rush to Xu County as soon as possible. β
On the horizon, there was already a bright light of fish belly white.
Cao Ying stood tall in the lobby, his thick eyebrows locked.
"Lu Bu's family is small, but he has disappeared?"
Dong Zhao's face was bitter, "My lord, my humble duty is to enter the inner city at the first time.
According to the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, in the evening, Lu Bu ordered them to return to their respective rooms and not allow anyone to show their faces. Therefore, no one knows where Lu Bu's family went. However, I heard from them that there was a rebellion in the inner city of Yuzi a few years ago, and Hou Chengwei was killed by Lu Bu, and even his fake son was involved. Later, Lu Bu's fake son was rescued and disappeared.
Lord, do you think it will be ......?"
Cao Ying asked: "Then Lu Bu's fake son, can you know his whereabouts now?" β
"I don't know."
"Check it for me, you must find out who took Lu Bu's family away."
Although Lu Bu died, Cao Ying's heart did not feel peaceful. What kind of person did not know it, under my nose, and took away Lu Bu's family? What is the purpose of this person? Or, does Lu Bu still have a party to hide in Xiapi?
This question lingered in Cao Ying's mind, and he couldn't let go.
At this moment, a soldier reported that Sima Cao Peng, a military officer under the general of the capital, asked to see him.
"What's the matter with him?"
"Cao Sima just asked, when will he leave for Xu County."
Cao Ying's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Let him come to see me." β
After a while, Cao Peng strode into the hall with a meteor.
He clasped his hand and saluted Cao Ying, "The last general, Cao Peng, see Lord Sikong." β
After speaking, he didn't hear Cao Ying's response. Cao Peng's heart moved, and when he peeked, he saw Cao Ying looking at him, his eyes not blinking.
That gaze was like two sharp swords, which made Cao Peng panic for no reason.
On the face of it, though, he doesn't have any problems.
"Cao Peng, are you familiar with Zhang Liao?"
"It's not familiar, it's just a one-sided relationship...... General Wen Yuan was very kind, and at that time he heard that Haixi was in chaos, and the last general and his brother did not have any soldiers and horses around him, so he gave me 200 soldiers. Later, in the confrontation with the pirates, it played a great role...... Speaking of which, it's not that he has any friendship with General Wen Yuan, but the kindness is about the same. So...... The last general was even more reluctant for General Zhang to have an accident. β
"I see!"
Cao Ying was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked again: "Then do you know that Lu Bu is in Xiapi, but what relatives and friends do you have?" β
Cao Peng looked confused, shook his head and said, "This ...... The last general is not very clear. β
"That's right...... Then you can go now.
If it can be said that Zhang Liao is lowered, it is certainly a good thing; If you can't say that Zhang Liao is down, you don't have to force it. Go back quickly, I still have important tasks to delegate to you. β
From Guo Jia's mouth, Cao Peng vaguely heard that Cao Ying seemed to want him to stay in Guangling.
He intervened and turned away.
As soon as he walked to the gate, he suddenly heard Cao Ying say, "Youxue, I heard that you and Lu Bu's daughter know each other?" β
There was a sudden pang in his heart, and Cao Peng only felt a cold air rushing up from his backbone and rushing to the top of his head...... He forced his composure, turned around and said, "Yes, indeed." β
"Lu Bu's family has disappeared mysteriously now, who do you think it will do?"
"This ...... Forgive the end will be foolish and do not know this. β
"But don't you and Lu Bu's daughter know each other? I've heard that she went to Hercynian to play for a while...... Do you think she went to Hercy? β
Cao Peng's palms were dripping with sweat.
He thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be possible."
Earlier, LΓΌ Bu fought with Haixi, which can be described as a loss of troops. The Lu family hates me so much, how can they go to Haixi?
Lord, don't you think it's ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking."
Cao Ying said that, and waved his hand to signal that Cao Peng could leave.
Turning around, Cao Peng suddenly rolled his eyes, only to feel that his head was buzzing.
This Cao Mengde is really worthy of his name...... He was so suspicious that he actually went from Lu Lan to Haixi, so he doubted himself.
Fortunately, he didn't let Lu Bu's family go to Haixi, otherwise he would have been killed.
But the problem is that even if Lu Bu's family is hiding in Yuzhou Mountain, if they don't move out as soon as possible, they will be discovered by Cao Ying sooner or later.
Where should they flee?
Out of the royal city, Cao Peng found that his underwear was already soaked.
"Xingba, has the madman come back?"
"It's back."
"Ordered him to immediately try to go to Yilu Township and inform Uncle Zhou that once he received the Lu family, he would be transported to Yuzhou Mountain immediately, and he must not stay on land."
Gan Ning was taken aback, and immediately understood the mystery of this.
"Let's leave right away, you go and get ready."
"Whoa!"
Gan Ning hurriedly turned around and left, and Cao Peng also saddled his horse.
Along the east-west street, he quickly left the inner city with the people. As soon as he walked out of the inner city gate, he saw a person flash out from the side and grabbed the reins of Cao Peng's horse.
"Youxue, you are so bold!"
Cao Peng only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he hurriedly looked at it......
