Chapter 61 Pacifying Picheng
From Caofu to Ximen, more and more people gathered along the way, Liu Bei led the troops from Taofu to the West Gate to let Guan Yu withdraw his troops, and on the way happened to meet Cao Hong's eldest son Garlic Nose, who was captured alive by the people.
Seeing that it was Liu Bei, the garlic nose hurriedly called for help, Liu Bei knew that the bad things that the garlic nose did were too many to write, if he wanted to save him, Tao Ying would not let go of himself, and even the people of Xiapi were unwilling to let go of themselves, so Le Ma went to the south gate.
On the way, a small group of people were killed, Liu Bei rushed to the south gate, and a group of people also gathered outside the south gate, Guan Yu led the troops to defeat nearly 100 people and then came together with Liu Bei.
Seeing so many people, Guan Yu was puzzled and asked, "Big brother, why is there chaos in the city all of a sudden?" ”
Liu Bei replied while rushing to Taofu: "The second prince led the troops to kill, the people rebelled in the city when they heard the news, the second brother, Xiapi can no longer hold it, quickly lead the troops to pick up the assassin Lord Shi, let's lead the third brother from the third brother of the North Gate to go straight to the East China Sea!" ”
Guan Yu sighed and said, "I knew that the second son was like this, I shouldn't have let him out of the city in the first place!" ”
Liu Bei and Guan Yu led the soldiers and horses to the Tao Mansion, and there were three or two carriages parked in the backyard of the Tao Mansion.
Before leaving, Mi Fang wanted to kill Tao Ying's family, in the courtyard, Xiaohuan hid in the courtyard, the family blocked the door, and more and more people smashed the door outside the door. Seeing that Mi Fang didn't come for a long time, the potter was afraid that he would kill indiscriminately and hurriedly ran to persuade him.
The potter pointed to the courtyard and shouted: "Xiaohuan, you must hide here, and when my brother arrives, tell my brother that he is a sinner who killed his father and seized the throne through the ages, and let him think clearly!" ”
Mi Fang stopped the potter and said: "The second son is ruthless, let me kill his family first to warn, if he is obsessed again, I will return to the army to behead him to repay the master's kindness!" ”
The potter shook his head and said: "I don't blame him for this, it's the fault of Cao Hong's son, if you kill Xiaohuan and them, he will definitely not let you go!" ”
The sound of banging on the door became louder and louder, and the potter hurriedly rode towards the back door, and Mi Zhu hurriedly lit a torch and threw it into the courtyard, and the fire burned for a while.
Tao Ying led the troops straight to Tao Mansion, and when Tao Ying was killed in Tao Mansion, the people got out of the way, Sun Guan slashed the door with several knives, and the soldiers rushed in.
But at this moment, there is no one else in Tao Mansion except for dozens of maids. Tao Ying hurriedly ran to the small courtyard where he lived, the door of the small courtyard was locked, and a raging fire was already burning inside, and from time to time the wood of the house collapsed and made a rumbling sound.
Tao Ying gritted his teeth and shouted, "Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan!" ”
Hearing someone calling for him, Xiaohuan in the courtyard suddenly cried excitedly, and when he heard the cry, Tao Ying swung his knife and slashed at the door lock. The knife hit the door lock and a spark sparked.
Tao Li was angry, he didn't cut the door lock with a knife, and Yin Li happened to pass by behind him, Yin Li saw this and shouted with a big axe: "Son, let me come!" ”
Yin Li babbled and shouted and ran over and flew an axe, and with one axe, the whole group was chopped down. Tao Ying rushed into the courtyard, the courtyard was already burning with fire, Xiaohuan was hiding in the pool next to the rockery, and a group of family members also ran out to meet Tao Ying.
Xiaohuan threw herself into Tao Ying's arms like a child and cried: "Childe, all the paper has been burned by the fire......"
Tao Ying stroked her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, the paper is gone, we can rebuild it, you're okay, I'm relieved!" ”
Let the soldiers leave with their families, Tao Ying began to let Wu Dun and others lead the troops to block the gates of the various Xuzhou giants, when the soldiers were in turmoil, the most feared thing was that there were people with bad intentions who would take advantage of the chaos to rob.
The soldier rode his horse and shouted all the way: "Gongzi has an order, arrest the Cao thief, and the rest are not allowed to touch, if there are robbers who take advantage of the fire to destroy the three clans!" ”
The soldiers rushed to the mansions and pasted the seals on the doors one by one, and the troublemakers also followed the soldiers shouting and running around, and Tao Ying ordered all the people to gather in the square of the city!
The people had a meeting place, so they escorted Cao Hong's family to the square to gather, and it was not only Cao Hong who was unlucky, but even the Cao family of Nuoda was unlucky.
Soon the four gates of Xiapi have been captured by Tao Ying's soldiers and horses, Tao Ying led the troops all the way to the north gate, and when they arrived at the north gate, Guan Yu was left to guard the north gate.
Guan Yu still rode alone at the city gate as he did that day, and the team of dozens of people outside the city gate kept walking forward with a frame. Guan Yu blocked the way, Tao Ying pointed at Guan Yu and said, "General Guan, where did Cao Hong kidnap my father and eldest brother?" ”
Guan Yu said with a big knife: "You traitor, today there is me Guan Yu again, no one wants to go out of the north gate!" ”
Seeing this, Sun Kang next to him brandished his weapon and wanted to kill Guan Yu, Tao Ying hurriedly stopped him, Tao Ying knew that no one in their group could kill Guan Yu alone, and if he went, he would lose his life.
What's more, for some reason, Tao Ying just didn't dare to fight with Guan Gong, maybe the later generations were too influenced by him, later generations compared Guan Gong to a god, and Tao Ying didn't want to be spurned by later generations.
So Tao Ying pretended to let him go: "General Guan, I once owed you a favor, I won't kill you today." General Guan just needs to tell me, is my father and brother safe? ”
Guan Yu stroked his long hair with a big knife, and stared at Tao Ying with a pair of lying silkworm eyebrows, as if as long as there was a little wind and grass, he would cut Tao Ying with a knife.
Outside the north gate, after a while, he returned to ride, and the ride was none other than the anxious potter. The pottery merchant was afraid that Guan Yu would not be able to resist Tao Ying, and he was afraid that Tao Ying would anger Liu Bei by killing Guan Yu, so he specially ran to persuade him.
Seeing that the two sides were safe, the pottery merchant hurriedly shouted to Tao Ying in the north gate: "Brother, I have nothing to do with my father, today I know that my brother wants to avenge the revenge of the previous few days, so I don't complain, but my brother is too reckless and kills too heavily, this is not the way of a gentleman!" ”
Tao Ying saw the eldest brother, he also saved his life a few days ago, he knew that this eldest brother was not a bad person, so he shouted again: "Big brother, I don't want to take this city!" I am only here to get back General Zang's seal, Cao Hong is unpopular, and the people have endured it for a long time, so there are changes in the people today! ”
The pottery merchant also seemed to be a little angry and said: "Brother, I know that you have built a palace in Pengcheng that is more magnificent than the imperial palace, my brother here advises you not to violate the ancestral system, our Tao family has been loyal for generations, don't insult the reputation of the ancestors!" ”
Tao Ying didn't know what to say about that palace, and finally could only say: "You don't understand no matter how much you say, brother, you can go, I know that it must be Cao Hong who asked you to go to the East China Sea, go back and tell Daddy, I will not lead the troops to the north again, you and General Guan go!" ”
Wu Dun and the others hurriedly intercepted: "Son, don't let them go, if they go, there will be endless trouble!" ”
Tao Ying walked towards the inner city with a dozen horses, and a figure left, and everyone could only sigh and follow Tao Ying to the city. After hundreds of people withdrew, Guan Yu and the potters were left outside the north gate, the potters looked at Guan Yu, and Guan Yu bowed his head silently.
"General Guan, let's go too, this place is no longer where we are waiting!"
Guan Yu nodded, and the two rode out of the north gate towards Donghai County.
