Chapter 377: Battle Qingzhou
Ji Ping was originally a doctor in the court, and it stands to reason that it should be used to heal the emperor's relatives, but in today's situation, the Han clan has existed in name only, and even when he is the son of heaven, it is quite true that he is not swayed, so the imperial doctor will also use it in another way, so the imperial doctor Ji Ping will appear in Cao Cao's house.
Liu Bei is a person with a heart, when he secretly met Xin Kun's brother Xin Ping in Xu Ducheng, he also set his eyes on several imperial doctors in the court, and it happened that the imperial physician Ji Ping often went back and forth to the right prime minister's mansion at that time, and Cao Cao checked his head disease, so Liu Bei was convenient for the imperial doctor Ji Ping to get acquainted.
After having this follow-up line, Liu Bei was always thinking about the availability of it, and sure enough, the usefulness of this Taiyi Jiping was really waited for by Liu Bei.
Ji Ping was clamoured and coerced by Liu Bei, so he promised to kill Cao. It stands to reason that Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion is heavily guarded, and there is also the assassination of Dong Zhuo back then, Cao Cao, as the only party who survived, must be vigilant, so with ordinary methods, he can't touch Cao Cao's half a hair at all, but Liu Bei's move is really ruthless.
Don't look at the imperial doctor Ji Ping is just a doctor who diagnoses diseases for people, but there is a good saying, doctors also hold knives, and they can save people and kill people, so Ji Ping has also been full of ambition since he got Liu Bei's promise.
If the doctor wants to kill someone, it is really very simple, as long as he adds more medicinal materials to the prescription and uses some medicinal effects to restrain each other, he can easily achieve the act of killing, but in Jiping's opinion, this trick is not good.
Cao Cao is suspicious, coupled with his identity as prime minister, so be careful in everything, even the prescription that Ji Ping prescribed to him, after the fact, several other doctors will identify the efficacy, whether there is anything weird, and the decoction of medicine is also a matter in Cao Cao's house, Ji Ping categorically can't intervene, so secretly poisoning is also useless, but there are many ways to kill people, this Ji Ping also thought of a feasible method, that is, to use the silver needle of acupuncture, pretending to apply the needle at the place, and then with Ji Ping's knowledge, as long as the silver needle is pierced in the vital place, I'm afraid that Cao Cao can't die, and the most important thing in a person is the head, so this Ji Ping has already expected the matter in his chest, but in the process of doing it, this Ji Ping has a little remorse, otherwise there will be no abandonment at the beginning.
Cao Cao's character, at that time, the heroic momentum, even if he was sick, did not reduce the slightest tiger might, so when Ji Ping saw Cao Cao's person, his legs were already trembling, intending to escape, he didn't want Cao Cao's head to suffer from pain, so he drank Ling Jiping to rescue, and Ji Ping didn't dare to disobey the order, so he hardened his head and did it according to the method of thinking before, not wanting to show his cowardice, and was looked at by Cao Cao, so that Jing Ke was now defeated.
The one-eyed person who took down Jiping was Xiahou Duan, who was called the "one-eyed wolf".
Xiahoudun held a knife in his hand and shouted angrily: "Who instructed you to do such a disobedient thing? ”
Ji Ping knew that the matter was revealed, so he did not hesitate beforehand, but was unprecedentedly righteous, but shouted: "I, Ji Ping, is a courtier of the Han family, since I should serve the Han court, for the Son of Heaven to relieve worries, you Cao Cao controls the government, called Han Xiang, is actually a Han thief, everyone in the world has to do it, what can I Ji Ping do, but today I missed, but let you, the Han thief, pick up a life......"
Cao Cao threw away the saber in his hand, it seemed that the head disease was more serious, and he wanted to hold his head, but he really held back, facing Ji Ping's position, he suddenly laughed three times, the laughter seemed to have a sense of grief and indignation, and it seemed that there was a pain in cutting his head, Ji Ping saw this, and he laughed and said: "Your head disease is a crime from God, it seems that I don't need Ji Ping to kill you, God will not let you go!" ”
Xiahoudun saw that this Ji Ping's expression was angry, and he knew that he couldn't ask anything from his mouth, even if he wanted to ask the prime minister's order, he wanted to kill this imperial doctor Ji Ping.
Sometimes when people reach the stage where they know that they are going to die, they will be very calm, and this is the case with Jiping.
Cao Cao's bun had fallen to the ground, and the hair that had been tied up was now very messy, coupled with Cao Cao's very terrifying laughter just now, everyone thought that the prime minister was delirious because of the headache and the incident of Ji Ji's parallel stabbing, and he never thought that in an instant, Cao Cao suddenly glared angrily, picked up the fallen saber from the ground again, and cut off a rolling human head when the blade passed.
Before Ji Ping could look proud, the head did not belong to his neck, and all the blood was sprinkled on Cao Cao's face, and for a while, Prime Minister Cao Cao seemed to be soaked in blood.
Xiahoudun was afraid that Cao Cao would be delirious, so he approached and said, "Prime Minister ......"
Cao Cao hesitated slightly, and when he turned back to Xiahoudun, he said: "Decree the world, saying that the Xiangguo was injured by Ji Ping, and his life was on the verge of death, and Ji Ping's people have been killed!" ”
When Xiahou heard this, he was a little surprised, but when he saw that the lord's expression did not change, he knew that there must be a mystery in it, and it was inconvenient for him to ask.
A farce in the Prime Minister's Mansion was calmed down in a moment, and the left and right attendants surrounded Cao Cao's side, wiping the blood, but Cao Cao didn't care, but said: "The pain of Lone's head disease has disappeared, you wait and retreat!" ”
Cao Cao's majesty, no one in the house knows, so after dragging down Ji Ping's corpse, there seems to be no one in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao touched the blood stains on his face with his hand, and his expression was like a mountain.
Within a few hours, the news of Cao Cao's assassination in the Prime Minister's Mansion spread throughout Gunzhou, although the imperial physician Jiping had been executed, but it seemed that Cao Cao's injuries were not light.
At this time, Liu Bei's military horse, which was entrenched in the flooded Jizhou, heard the news early, and was proud at that time, and now the situation, Gao Fei is seriously ill, Cao Cao is seriously injured, and now the two tigers in the north are cowardly, it is just the opportunity for Liu Bei to show his strength, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again.
Cao Cao's assassination in the mansion, coupled with the Jizhou soldier armor who was hit by the arrow before, and so on, all pointed the spearhead at Gao Fei, who is now in Qingzhou.
In Gunzhou, the general Dianman and Xiahoudun and others were all furious, under the command of the military advisor Xun Yu, 80,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the soldiers came to the city of Qingzhou, it seems that the account of the coveted soldiers of Gunzhou should be counted on Gao Fei, and even the assassination of Cao Cao, the right prime minister, must have been done by Gao Fei, so the current situation, Gunzhou and Qingzhou are incompatible.
The generals Xu Chu and Zhao Yun in Qingzhou City were not to be outdone, and saw that the Gunzhou side sent a large army to fight, when even if they ordered 50,000 troops and horses, and confronted the Gunzhou soldiers and horses under the city, it seemed that there was still a small battle, so there was no victory, but the situation of the big war was irreversible.
Liu Bei, who was ambushed in Jizhou, couldn't help but be full of joy when he saw this situation, and said to Zhang Xiu: "Wait for two more days, then Gao Fei and Cao Cao will definitely lose both, and when the time comes, I will wait for the military horses to come out again, and I will be able to make a final decision and unify the north." ”
Zhang Xiu thought so, so he echoed: "Xuande's clever plan, conquer the north, only in a moment!" ”
Although Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu came together because of their resistance to Gao Fei and Cao Cao, these two people are also inseparable, especially Zhang Xiu, the military horses are not as good as Liu Bei, and the courage of his generals is not as good as Liu Bei, so this Zhang Xiu has been showing weakness in front of Liu Bei, in fact, he has begun to think about how to get the greatest benefit from Liu Bei after getting the land in the north.
At this moment, Liu Bei also had a plan in his heart: "This embroidery should not be underestimated, and when it is completed, this person should be eliminated......"
On the side of Gunzhou, Xiahoudun led the army, Dianman, Xiahouyuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin were generals, while on the Qingzhou side, Xu Chu was handsome, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw, Huaxiong, Gao Lan, and Han Meng were generals, and the formation could be said to be evenly matched, and the number of military horses was almost the same, as if this war should be quite tragic.
In the early morning of the second day, under Qingzhou, Gao Fei's military horse and Cao Cao's military horse started a big battle, killing the dark day, it is said that several generals in the two armies also died on the battlefield, and more than half of the troops on both sides were consumed, and Qingzhou City seemed to be a cemetery.
Inquire about the news on the battlefield, this Liu Bei is ready to start, now there are two battlefields, one is under the city of Qingzhou, which is fighting, and the other is Cao Cao's base camp Gunzhou, Liu Bei wants to eat the north in one bite, these two battlefields have to start together, so Liu Bei is ready to divide the army into two ways, and he himself carries 10,000 military horses to attack Gunzhou; And Zhang Xiu led 20,000 troops and horses to capture Qingzhou.
Liu Bei's arrangement, but he has his own plans, at this moment, Gunzhou is empty, so as long as he has 10,000 soldiers and horses, he has the confidence to take down Gunzhou City and kill Cao Cao's people; Under the city of Qingzhou, although the battle between Gao Fei and Cao Cao was in full swing, and each had its own defeat, it was still not to be underestimated, so Liu Bei sent 20,000 elite soldiers to intercept and kill these two military horses, and captured Qingzhou by the way.
Zhang Xiu only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the other 10,000 soldiers and horses are led by Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei and the newly recruited general Liao Hua.
The plan has been discussed and is to be decided, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's two military horses, and they will go in turn, and before leaving, Liu Bei secretly instructed his third brother: "The war is imminent, the war is tragic, but under the city of Qingzhou, the sword has no eyes, and it is common sense to think that General Zhang Xiu died in the rain of swords and swords." ”
Zhang Fei understood, and even said: "Zhang Yide understands, but there is one thing I don't know, the second brother is now by Gao Fei's side, if he goes to Qingzhou City, he will inevitably meet the second brother, how should the third brother think of himself at that time?" ”
Liu Bei's expression was gloomy, and he said: "If the second brother stops it, the eldest brother you mentioned is not dead, if Yun Chang does not obey, he should be killed!" ”
