Chapter 123: Escape
Dong Cheng turned to Wang Shouren, looked at King Li again, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know whose subordinate this person is." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" refers to Xue Rengui, who behaves strangely.
Li Wang laughed, isn't this nonsense, could it be that Wang Shouren could still kill his brother-in-law with his own hands?
"It's my subordinate, this Lu Bu thief wants to murder me, the responsibility is on his body, and he can't help himself"
"Bold!" Dong Cheng blew his beard and glared, so he didn't care about King Li's defense, and shouted: "Lu Bunai is the general of Zhenguo who was personally appointed by the Son of Heaven, and you, as a former general, are still his subordinates, and if you commit the following crimes, this is a big crime of killing your head." β
King Li's stubborn temper also came up, and he kicked his nose and cheek to save face, and immediately scolded: "Dong Cheng Lao'er, don't use your identity to pressure me, now the seal of the state is still hanging in Shangdang City, I hold the power of life and death in a state, and even the Son of Heaven does not need to report who is convicted of capital crimes, Lu Bu plotted to kill me, and if he kills, he will kill him, what can you do with me?" β
"You... You. Dong Cheng's eyebrows were upside down, obviously angry, pointing at King Li's nose and wanting to say something, but he was a little angry, and there was no outlet after all.
"Bang bang." A loud applause came from far and near, and a loud voice sounded: "Although the governor of the state is domineering, he is also reasonable. β
Cao Cao? Dong Cheng's eyes shrank, and before he set off, he felt that his right eye was beating wildly, could it be that this was a sign that it should be on Cao Cao, otherwise why hadn't he withdrawn from the range of Luoyang?
"Cao Mengde, you are leading a large army here, do you want to rebel?"
Cao Cao pretended to be surprised and said: "How can I rebel, don't you see that I have returned all the military power of Luoyang to the imperial court today, but your move is not considered." β
Dong Cheng looked at Cao Cao uncertainly, he had already heard that King Li was friendly with him, and it seemed that Cao Cao was going to intervene in this matter.
Wang Shouren asked, "Since Brother Meng De is not here for Brother Li, what does this mean, but I am curious." β
Cao Cao laughed: "I'm really here for the sake of the safety of the people of Luoyang." Cao Cao glanced at King Li, but he didn't say anything rebellious, and continued: "I don't know where the generals under the command of Bingzhou Mu got the news, led by Li Jing, Zhao Yun and others followed, and now they have ordered troops from Shouyang Mountain, and the troops are divided into water and land armies, and they are rushing to the direction of Rope Pond. β
Dong Cheng is not old and stubborn, but at this time, he laughed angrily and said: "Could it be that Li Jing still dares to use troops against Si Li and make a mistake at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" I don't think it's just a faΓ§ade. β
"Huh." Cao Cao smiled lightly, and then said: "If it weren't for my army dragging them down, would Li Jing really lead the army across the river, who knows, or General Wei give it a try?" β
King Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't send someone to inform him of his movements, so there was only one possibility, thinking that King Li couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao, but he really couldn't figure out what Cao Cao meant.
Dong Cheng thought about the gains and losses with a gloomy face, now that Dong Yu is about to marry into the palace, he can't make any mistakes, if this matter is really as Cao Cao said, Li Jing brazenly raised troops, then the evil consequences caused by his stubbornness will be borne by himself, which is the last thing Dong Cheng wants to see.
Wang Shouren's mind was spinning, and he was worried that he didn't know how to reply to Wang Yun, the appearance of Cao Cao and the news he brought just solved a problem for himself, at this time, whether he left King Li or let him go, as long as he reported it truthfully, this basin of dirty water could not be poured on himself, so he hung up high, pretending to be embarrassed and looked at Dong Cheng.
Dong Chengqi's teeth clenched, he belonged to Wang Shouren's superiors, and Wang Shouren had Wang Yun's protection, if he let go of King Li, this black cauldron would definitely be carried by himself, if King Li was arrested, then the follow-up army of the state would really come, and then such consequences would not be something he could bear.
King Li looked at the three forces present with an innocent face, as if they had nothing to do with the unpleasant quarrel.
The reason why King Li was so calm was because Xue Rengui had already bandaged his wounds and was collecting arrows everywhere, although he didn't seem to pay attention to this, but King Li knew that if Dong Cheng made a slight move, then Xue Rengui would definitely be able to kill him with one move......
The scene was extremely delicate, several people had their own thoughts, Cao Cao was smiling, while Wang Shouren frowned, looking quite anxious, but Li Wang was a different scene, looking innocent, it seemed that only Dong Cheng was entangled there among several people, and it was difficult to make a decision.
There was silence all around, and a strange atmosphere spread, and some soldiers moved uncomfortably, but they didn't dare to make the movement bigger.
"Report ......"
The shouting was like thunder, and suddenly exploded in silence, Dong Cheng's tense nerves seemed to be cut off, and he trembled all over, obviously frightened.
The herald turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "The fleet of the Bingzhou army has now sailed to the rope pond, and the general of the state, Li Jing, has spread the message that if you can't see the herd of the state tomorrow at noon, you will land directly and forcibly occupy the rope pond." β
"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded slightly, waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to go down on their own, and then looked at Dong Chengdao: "General Wei, we are ministers of the same court, and it is time to make a decision on whether to fight or to make peace, so I should prepare early and raise the army to deploy." β
Dong Cheng wiped a cold sweat, turned around and looked in the direction of Luoyang, now it's too late to go back to Tongyu, and the decision is all in his own thoughts.
After a long time, the strange atmosphere made Dong Cheng uncomfortable, and finally spit out one word: "Withdraw." "After all, the two armies are fighting, regardless of the casualties, and the changes are too great to take this risk.
Wang Shouren turned over his horse, nodded at King Li, and then led his personal guards to collect Lu Bu's corpse and return to Luoyang, as for the red rabbit horse, he was not embarrassed to take it back.
Dong Cheng knew that he had lost his face, and he didn't have the heart to stay, so he snorted coldly and left in disgrace.
King Li breathed a long sigh of relief, rode his horse to Cao Cao's side and said, "Thank you Brother Meng De for your help, otherwise I will definitely not be able to escape from this huge subordinate." β
Cao Cao laughed: "Brother Li smiled, with your ability, who can trap you, but since you have been guarding the state, you have resisted foreign invasions, and you are worthy of my admiration for the people and the country when you respond to government affairs." β
The two looked at each other and laughed, and the bits and pieces of it naturally did not need to be pointed out.
It's just that this battle took pity on Lu Bu, the courage of the tiger in the first life, but he was brazenly killed by Xue Rengui, and even the closed moon Diao Chan, one of the four beauties, didn't have time to enjoy it.
King Li and Cao Cao walked side by side, talking and laughing along the way, and there was no joy at all to get out of the tiger's mouth, as if all this should have been so.
"Brother Meng De, thank you for your help this time, and I hope to cherish it."
Li Wang stood on the bow of the ship, this is the warship sent by Li Jing to pick up his own Huizhou, after all, the port of the rope pond is not large, it is used by caravans, and it is difficult for large warships to approach.
Cao Cao rushed away to King Li, and he got a confidant in the troubled times, how lucky.
The Yellow River is eternal, the heroes are in tears, asking how desolate Qiankun is, where is there a home......
