Chapter 168: Cao Cao's Tomb
"Kill——!"
"Kill——!"
As soon as the city gate opened, Lu Bujun, who was anxiously staying outside, rushed in impatiently shouting, and the crowd poured in.
The Cao soldiers, who did not know the strength of the enemy and us, were so frightened that they scattered and collapsed, thinking that Lu Bu's army had tens of thousands of people, and pessimism spread in everyone's hearts, and some Cao soldiers couldn't stand the trembling and began to flee for their lives in fright.
"Do what you plan!" Lu Bu Fangtian painted the halberd and pointed to the city, and said coldly, his eyes were like stars, and his face was cold in the night.
"No!"
Lu Bujun shouted in unison, and in a moment, torches were lit, illuminating the entire night sky, as if it were day, piercing the eyes, and the soldiers of the infantry army were carrying a big bow and a pot of arrows.
"Brothers, kill me!"
Lu Bujun shouted.
The city gate was opened, and the defense line of Cao Bing collapsed in an instant, and was broken by thousands of Lu Bu's troops and poured in.
Lü Bu's army was divided into several squads, scattered in all directions, and advanced into the city, their purpose was not to take Puyang City, but to create chaos, cause panic, and set fire to Lao Cao's base camp.
"Ignite!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Whoosh——! Whoosh——! Whoosh——! ”
Scattered rockets flew in the air and flew into the homes of rich businessmen, and suddenly they screamed again and again, and the big families became a pot of porridge, and the maids and servants ran around, mistakenly thinking that Lu Bujun was going to slaughter the city or loot the big families.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" The lord and the lady shouted and screamed, terrified.
Under Cao Cao's management, Yanzhou was stable and wealthy, and accumulated a lot of money and grain. The money and grain in Puyang City are several large warehouses. These are all Lao Cao's hard work.
Lu Bu didn't sympathize, this was the crystallization of Lao Cao's hard work. Or the sweat of the people, the merciless way of the world, the mercy of the enemy, is cruel to oneself!
Taishou House.
Xun Yu measured his steps, his brows tightened, listening to the shouts and fires that were getting closer and closer, and his heart was very depressed.
"Damn Lu Bu, did you get in?" Xun Yu sighed. He only hated himself for being a powerless scribe, not a brave man in armor and a gun, otherwise, he would have to go to the front line in person, command the soldiers to resist Lu Bu, and fight to the death with Lu Bu.
"Xun Junshi, it's not good, Lu Bu's army is in, and our soldiers can't stop it at all!" A pro-soldier stumbled in.
"Our strength is several times that of Lu Bu, and we were actually killed by Lu Bu. It's really," Xun Yu shook his head dejectedly.
"They are now setting fires everywhere in the city, causing a huge panic in the city!" Pro-Army said.
Xun Yu tugged at his beard. Closed his eyes and said: "Lu Bu's troops are too small, even if he comes in, he can't capture it, even if he really lets him capture it, he won't be able to defend it for long, he has only one purpose, which is to destroy!" There is so much money and grain accumulated in our treasury, Lu Bu must want to burn it down, and send an order to mobilize all kinds of soldiers and horses to defend the treasury, so as not to let Lu Bu succeed, in addition, prepare water in the treasury and water the money and grain. ”
"No!" The pro-army retreated quickly.
The general who served as the chief of Xun Yu's guard next to him clasped his fists and said: "Xun Junshi, Lu Bu's army is menacing, like a wolf and a tiger, extremely terrifying, their purpose is definitely not only our money and grain treasury, Taishou Mansion may also be one of their purposes, for your safety, I suggest, you should also avoid it!" ”
Xun Yu's body was shocked, and he said faintly: "As a military advisor, I stayed in Yanzhou and was responsible for the government affairs of all parts of Yanzhou, but now I have been turned upside down by Lu Bu with thousands of troops, and Puyang City has also been breached, I can't escape the blame!" Now that the soldiers are fighting, I can leave the soldiers behind! ”
The chief guard said: "Because of this, you have to take care of your own safety, if you have any mistakes, this Yanzhou, this Puyang, what should I do?" How do you substitute for the main bus? ”
"Well, you're right, I still have to keep this life to protect Puyang and expel Lu Bu, so that I can live up to the expectations of the lord." Xun Yu said solemnly.
"Master Xun, leave with me quickly, there is no trace of Lu Bujun in the West Gate Tower, and we have a lot of guards, it is very safe, where you go, you will be safe." The chief of the guard said.
"Hmm." Xun Yu nodded, walked a few steps, turned to a guard and said, "Bring those classics and account books in the mansion to the cellar for me to keep, and they must not be burned by Lu Bujun." ”
"No!" The guards hugged their fists.
"Hmm." Xun Yu strode away with confidence.
Hao Meng rushed to the center of Puyang City with a team of elite soldiers, looked at the treasury in front of him, and smiled, "Come on, put a rocket on me and burn this treasury!" ”
"Whew——!"
The soldiers shouted and excited, and dozens of rockets ignited and aimed at the treasury in front of them.
"Lu Bujun is here, brothers, Xun Junshi has an order, defend the treasury, and there will be a reward!" The general who took the lead said in a deep voice.
Cao Bing quickly formed a line, bringing his shields close together, ready to fend off the rocket.
"Drop the rocket!" Hao Meng shouted.
"Whoosh——! Whoosh——! Whoosh——! ”
Dozens of elites took a breath, kept pulling their bows and firing arrows, and one rocket after another flew into the air and fell to the treasury, and with a "poof" sound, a little fire ignited.
The summer is dry, flammable and fires, a gust of wind blows, and the fire rises by the wind, and the more it burns, the more fierce it becomes.
"What about water? What about the water I asked you to prepare? Hurry up and put out the fire! A general shouted.
"General, we have already prepared water according to your instructions, but there are only two wells in the treasury, one of which is still a dry well, and the water in the other well is almost drained, which is not enough!"
"Yes, the treasury is so big, there are more than a dozen warehouses of money and grain, and it is good that our water can save one treasury."
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! What do I want you to do? ”
The general yelled angrily.
Hao Meng looked at the masterpiece in front of him proudly, the more the fire burned, the more satisfied he was.
The screen turns.
"Red Rabbit Malai!" Lu Bu shouted, then whistled again, and the tall fiery red war horse stepped forward. Snorting. rushed in front of Lu Bu.
Turn over and get on the horse. Lu Bu pointed in the direction of Taishou Mansion.
"Capture Xun Yu alive!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"Capturing Xun Yu !! Alive"
A team of elite soldiers followed Lu Bu like a whirlwind to the Taishou Mansion, and along the way, countless Cao soldiers rushed to block Lu Bu, and after a few encounters, they were scattered and defeated by a Fang Tian painting halberd.
It didn't take long for Lu Bu to kill the Taishou Mansion.
"Where is Xun Yu!" Lu Bu asked loudly.
The soldiers behind him rushed in and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders, and Xun Yu and the chief guard ran away. They also lost their backbone, and in an easy battle, most of the defenders were eliminated.
Several guards were tied up in front of Lu Bu, and as soon as they saw Lu Bu's tiger eyes, they were frightened.
Enduring the smell in the air, Lu Bu pinched his nose and smelled, "Where did Xun Yu go?" ”
"Return, go back to Wenhou, Xun Junshi seems to have gone to the West Gate Tower." One of the guards said in fear.
"Simon?" Lu Bu nodded, looked up at the plaque of the Taishou Mansion, and sneered in his heart.
"Burn this Taishou Mansion. Also, remove that plaque. Engrave - Cao Cao's Tomb! Lu Bu said with a smile.
When the soldiers heard Lu Bu's words, they laughed loudly and started excitedly.
"Leave a team of people to do this, and the others will follow me to chase Xun Yu." Lu Bu said again.
"No!"
The soldiers were divided into two, and Lu Bu took one of them and rushed to the West Gate Tower.
Simon.
The purpose of Lu Bu's army was to destroy Puyang City, not to attack here, so there was nothing to do at the West Gate, and a large number of Cao soldiers ran to the West Gate to hide because they were afraid of Lu Bu.
When Xun Yu came here under the protection of a team of guards, he saw so many Cao soldiers huddled together in panic, and he was so angry that he scolded.
After scolding, most of the Cao soldiers were indifferent.
"Why don't you give me the enemy!" Xun Yu roared.
"No! Come with me, or you'll be killed!" Several generals hurriedly shouted.
Cao Bing reluctantly followed the general into the center of the city.
Xun Yu climbed the city tower, climbed to the heights, and found that there were fires everywhere in the city, and the location of the money and grain treasury was in flames.
"Hmm!" Xun Yu was sullen for a while, pressed his hand on his chest, and almost fainted.
"Master Xun, what's wrong with you?" The chief of the guard asked worriedly.
"Lu Bu, burn our money and grain treasury!" Xun Yu said sadly.
"Not only that, Xun Junshi, they set fire everywhere and burned them to the rich merchants in the city, if this continues, who else will dare to live on our territory in the future. Oh, no, it's too guarded! The Taishou Mansion was also burned! ”
The chief guard shouted in horror.
"Hateful Lu Bu!" Xun Yu stomped his feet and scolded.
While he was scolding, there was another shout of killing in the distance, approaching step by step.
"Has Lu Bu's army killed the West Gate?" Xun Yu said suspiciously.
"It's not good, it's Lu Bu, it's Lu Bu who killed it!" A sharp-eyed lieutenant yelled.
I saw that Lu Bu was riding a red rabbit horse, like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the West Gate Tower, and Fang Tian's halberd was like a phantom, constantly stabbing at the wings and the front.
The person who was killed by Cao Bing turned over on his back, his flesh and blood splashed, and the ghost cried wolf, all the way like blood, rushing to the bottom of the West Gate.
"Hurry up and give me arrows, shoot Lu Bu to death, seal the marquis of ten thousand households, and reward a thousand gold!" Xun Yu shouted hoarsely.
The crossbowmen hurriedly prepared with arrows, and a rain of arrows rained down, covering Lu Bu all over the sky.
"Xun Yu, is this your hospitality? I've come thousands of miles to see you from Guanzhong, no matter what you say, you have to come down and have a drink with me! ”
Lu Bu danced Fang Tian's halberd into a whirlwind, forming a barrier and swatting down the rain of arrows that rushed towards the front door.
Xun Yu was angry for a while, his face was black, he stared at Lu Bu coldly, and scolded: "You scum who seeks power and usurped rebellion, what qualifications do you have to drink with me, if you still have a little conscience, quickly put down your weapons and surrender, I ask Cao Gong to spare your life!" ”
"Wen Ruo, Gongda often mentions you under my account, saying that you have Xiao He's talent, today, in terms of governing the country and the country, no one can compare to you, you have such a talent, but you succumb to the Cao thief, isn't it too aggrieved, if you surrender to the imperial court, I will guarantee you to be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, how about it?"
Lu Bupi said with a smile. (To be continued......)
