Chapter 43: Whipping the Horse
readx; The three hundred tigers and leopards returned one after another with excitement and joy, they were the feared warriors of the battlefield, who had always walked in the midst of swords and flames, and who were constantly threatened with death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is like today's pranks, something they have never experienced before.
Pouring urine on the mansions of the dignified Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan General - what a bold act! But such a jaw-dropping behavior was concocted at the instigation of Cao Ang.
All the people.
Cao Ang turned around and looked at the Zhennan General's Mansion, where the guards and servants were treated solemnly, but no one dared to rush out to teach these bold tigers and leopards who defied Liu Biao's majesty.
Cao Ang glanced at them with contempt - such a soldier is not worthy of being called a warrior. Turning to look at the excited tiger and leopard rider, Cao Ang raised his fists and said, "Let's go home." ”
The three hundred warriors roared loudly, rolled over their horses, and spurred their horses to the north under the gaze of countless guards and servants in Liu Biao's mansion.
On the way, Cao Chun came to Cao Ang's side and looked at him strangely. After a long time, Cao Chun laughed heartily and said: "I never thought that you would be such a person, the dignified Zhennan general, Jingzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng, actually taught you to spill a room of urine, you daring boy." ”
Cao Ang shook his head and chuckled, and said, "Don't you think it's not enjoyable for your son and uncle, and you want to do it again?" ”
Cao Chun hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't dare to go again, let's go north quickly." I'm just curious how you could have come up with such a bad idea, which embarrassed him even more than slapping him Liu Jingsheng. ”
Cao Ang grabbed the reins and tried his best to look into the distance, and after a while, he said slowly: "I died nine times in Jingzhou, how can this hatred and hatred be lightly revealed?" Harassing Liu Jingzhou is nothing more than a stopgap measure. Cai Mao controls most of the military power in Jingzhou, and if he is allowed to make proper arrangements, our road to the north will definitely be extremely difficult. Now Liu Biao must be annoyed and angry, and he is anxious to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the northern city to go south to arrest us, so that we can see the opportunity to act in order to go north. ”
Cao Chun pondered for a moment on his horse, and then said with admiration in his eyes: "Yes, Liu Biao has always used Zhang Xiu as the northern barrier, and there are not many troops to the north of Xiangyang, only a few important towns are left to defend the city, and most of the main forces of Jingzhou are assembled to prepare for Jiangdong. But if Cai Deqi is taught to arrange troops, he will definitely gather all the troops in the north in one place and wait for us to come, at that time he is outnumbered, no matter how strong these three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry are, they will not be able to defeat dozens of times the enemy. And now Liu Jingsheng is ashamed and angry, and he is bound to dispatch soldiers to arrest us quickly, which gives us an opportunity. ”
Cao Chun said with an extremely curious look in his eyes, stared at Cao Ang without blinking, and said, "Zixu, you are different from before. ”
Cao Ang raised his eyebrows and replied noncommittally: "Oh? What do the Son and Uncle say? ”
"You used to pursue benevolence, righteousness and morality, and you were upright in everything, and you were very soft-hearted," Cao Chun seemed to sigh and said, "But from today's point of view, you finally know what it means to be a soldier and not get tired of deceit, and you are much more decisive than before." ”
Cao Ang shook his head with a smile and muttered, "People always have to grow up, not to mention that I have already died once." In this world, benevolence and righteousness are not necessary. Talking about benevolence and righteousness with the righteous and talking about strength with the unrighteous is nothing more than the same in this world. ”
Cao Chun saw Cao Ang shaking his head and laughing on the horse, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, but he couldn't hear what he was talking about, so he didn't say more, and then raised the whip and slammed it on the horse's buttocks, and even the people and the horse ran out.
Inside the Zhennan General's Mansion.
After Cao Ang and the others left, the subordinates in the house began to clean up quickly in Liu Biao's thunderous rage, but the smell of urine that rushed to the sky could not be driven away for a long time.
Cai Mao settled the affairs of the family, and rushed to Liu Biao's mansion in a hurry, this matter started because of the Cai family, and Cai Mao must not leave it behind.
"What does Cao Cao want to do? Do you want to humiliate me? Liu Biaogao sat in the middle hall, his face was sinking like water, and there were no outsiders under him, "I have already made peace with him Cao Cao, and he is not afraid of provoking a war between the two families again?" Or is it really me Liu Jingsheng is muddy and has no temper? ”
Everyone, including Zhang Yun, was silent, and no one dared to speak out easily.
After a long time, Cai Mao stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Biao. Liu Biao hurriedly held his hands and said, "What is this doing?" ”
Cai Mao sighed, with guilt on her face, and said: "This matter is all caused by my rebellious son, and the lord has suffered an unjustified disaster, please surrender the lord." ”
Liu Biao's face sank, and after being silent for a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "What is the reason, De Jue might as well come one by one." ”
Cai Mao sighed again, looked around at his colleagues, and said, "The leader of the three hundred tiger and leopard rides is Cao Cao's eldest son, named Cao Ang. In the battle of Wancheng, he was severely injured by Zhang Xiu and fell into Jingxiang. I, Jingzhou, have always been on bad terms with Cao Cao, so Cao Ang wanted to lurk in Xiangyang to find out about us and provide Cao Cao with news. Fortunately, his conspiracy was discovered by my son Cai Liang. My son was worried about the danger of the main public security and the affairs of Jingzhou, so he hurriedly transferred troops to arrest Cao Ang. Unexpectedly, Cao Ang had a fellow party to respond, and immediately after his identity was exposed, three hundred tigers and leopards rode to the rescue, Cao Ang hated my son for ruining his plan, so he led the tiger and leopard riders to my mansion to show off their might, and then went to the lord's mansion to do such a despicable act. ”
Cai Mao arranged right and wrong in one breath, which immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of the civil and military forces present. Liu's surface sank like water, glanced at everyone present, and said, "It's just too deceitful!" Zhang Yun, did I ask you to send someone to the north to transfer troops? ”
Zhang Yun immediately stepped forward and replied with his fists clenched: "My lord, the last general will send people to convey the general's military orders to Xinye, Huyang and other places." ”
Liu Biao nodded slightly, a pair of phoenix eyes on his emaciated cheeks were full of anger, and said: "You have my warrant again, and Huang Zhong will immediately lead troops north to arrest this bureaucracy." ”
Zhang Yun promised to go, but before he walked out of the hall, he heard Liu Biao say again: "Tell him that the two of them want to capture Cao Ang alive, and don't hurt his life." ”
Zhang Yun paused in his footsteps, hurriedly lowered his head to hide his surprise, and then walked away quickly.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue glanced at each other and shook their heads secretly.
At this moment, suddenly a soldier ran in a hurry, and heard him roar from a long distance: "Report to the lord, there is an urgent report from Xinye, there is a group of men and horses attacking Xinye, please send an army to rescue as soon as possible." ”
Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, the rest of the people present were also stunned, and Zhang Yun, who was about to leave, was stunned in place, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Didn't I tell you to give a herald to close the gates? How did they escape from Xiangyang? Liu Biao scolded at Zhang Yun.
A cold sweat instantly oozed from Zhang Yun's forehead.
On the ground, another person rushed quickly, knelt on the ground from a distance, and said: "Report to the lord, my general was attacked in the north of Xinye City, and most of the 1,500 men and horses in the headquarters were injured. ”
Liu Biao looked at the person who reported the news indifferently, and sat down with a butt on the ground, his face blue and white.
"Don't worry, the lord is just past Xinye," Cai Mao stood up again and said, "Please send an order to Zhang Xiu quickly and ask him to intercept Cao Ang." Then Zhuo I Jingzhou Fierce General led his troops to the north quickly, and fought with General Zhang Xiu in the north and south, and he would definitely be able to capture Cao Ang. ”
Liu's skin trembled for a while, and after being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Order Zhang Xiu, be sure to block Cao Ang's return to the north." ”
