Chapter 20: The Fall of the Emperor Star, the Two Families Benefit!

When the Mi family's guards found out that something was wrong, the two Mi Zhu brothers had already run away. Only the Mi clan wept in place, the guards looked at each other, and a clever servant in the back found Cao Ang from the Zhonglang General's mansion, and the two returned to Xudu.

The husband and wife did not go back to their house directly, but went to Sikong Mansion, this problem has to be explained to Lao Cao!

"See my father (father-in-law)!" Cao Ang and Mi came to Sikong Mansion to plead guilty.

"This?" Cao Cao sat on the main seat and looked at the husband and wife, stunned, family affairs? State affairs? Mixed up again?

Cao Cao shook his head, he was in a dilemma, how to deal with this matter? Cao Cao's eyes searched, Lu Rui was not there? If Lu Rui is here, he can still send a message to his advisers and let them come up with ideas!

Just when Cao Cao was in a dilemma, Ding couldn't help it, stepped forward to help the husband and wife, and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, it's no wonder that the two husbands and wives, the daughter-in-law is soft-hearted and deceived by her brother, Zixiu's body bones are not good, and she can't kneel for a long time, besides, didn't Mi Zhu leave a large amount of military funds?" This can be atoneted! ”

"Zixiu, Mi get up!"

"This?" Cao Cao didn't give an order, the two still didn't dare to get up, Cao Ang glanced at Cao Cao from the corner of his eye, and still refused to get up.

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang out of the corner of his eye, and he was also very helpless, Mi Zhu was very interesting and ran away, but everything in Xu Du was left to the Mi family, a lot of money, and it was necessary to take care of the two of them!

"Your Excellency!" Ding Laohu was a little displeased and began to complain about Cao Cao.

"Ma'am? You take Mi and retreat first. ”

"Zixiu, you follow me into the study!"

"Your Excellency?" Ding called Cao Cao.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm just discussing some political affairs with my father!" Cao Ang grabbed Ding, looked at his son, Ding nodded, and left with Mi.

"The child is guilty, please punish the father!" Cao Ang knelt in the study and pleaded guilty to Cao Cao.

"Zixiu? Get up, after the battle of Wancheng, your body is still a little weak. ”

"Yes, father."

"Father? What about this? ”

"This matter? As a father, you can't let the Mi brothers serve, it's a father's shortcomings, and you can't be blamed! ”

"So?" Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"You still have to do something on the table, Zixiu, the servants left by Mi Zhu will all enter your Zhonglang General's Mansion to take care of the living conditions of the two of you. A quarter of the money left by Mi Zhu will be kept for Mi Shi, and the rest will be paid into the army as your expenses for training the new army. ”

"Yes, Father!" Cao Ang happily hugged his fists and thanked him.

"Hmph, don't be so complacent, your official position is about to be demoted, first be a miscellaneous general, train the new army, and after you have new achievements, you will be a five-rank lieutenant general!" Seeing Cao Ang's appearance, Cao Cao looked displeased and reprimanded.

"Thank you, father!"

"Stand down! Spend more time with your mother! ”

"Leave the child!"

After Cao Ang retreated, Cao Cao said to himself: "Mi Zhu is gone? Liu Bei has completely left Xu Capital, this person can't stay, there is such a loyal person to follow! ”

"Zhongkang!"

"The subordinates are here!" Xu Chu came in from outside the door.

"Send someone to order Rui'er, kill Liu Bei, don't worry about anything!"

"Yes, my lord!"

To get rid of the great enemy, reputation? It doesn't matter anymore! Cao Cao touched his beard, looked into the distance, and said, "Liu Xuande, I really underestimated you!" ”

On the border of Xuzhou, Ji Ling, the vanguard of Yuan Shu, led his men and horses to attack Liu Bei's military camp, trying to open a gap and smoothly let Yuan Shu go north.

"I am under the command of the Emperor of the Zhong family, the pioneer Ji Ling, who dares to come out to fight?" Ji Ling led the army to Liu Bei's military camp and began to call for battle.

"Brother? Ji Ling actually dared to call the formation? Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei suspiciously.

"Hmph, I think he is helpless, brother, Yuan Shu's soldiers are no longer the Huainan soldiers of the past, Ji Ling wants to use the general to stimulate morale, Guan Yu will go to meet him."

"Okay, second brother be careful!"

"General Guan Yu under General Liu Bei is here, who is calling the battle?" Guan Yu took the Qinglong Sword and stepped forward.

When Ji Ling saw Guan Yu coming out of the battle, he secretly screamed in his heart: Not good! But there is no way, Yuan Shujun's morale is low, if there is no general to motivate morale, he will definitely not be able to beat Liu Beijun!

"Ji Ling is here, Guan Yu is dead!" Ji Ling rushed up with a three-pointed knife.

Guan Yu brandished the green dragon knife and greeted it, and the two of you have been back and forth for more than ten rounds.

Seeing that he couldn't win, Ji Ling shouted loudly, and used a series of eighteen slashes, slashing at Guan Yu with all his might.

"This person?" Guan Yu was stunned, Ji Ling fought for his life? Guan Yu used the Spring and Autumn Knife Technique to resolve them one by one, but his left arm was still scratched.

"Ji Ling!" Guan Yu shouted, and Le Ma ran back.

"Guan Yu is leaving!" Ji Ling immediately rode his horse and chased after him.

Drag the knife meter, a new trick that Guan Yu realized, "Look at the knife!" Guan Yu unexpectedly gave Ji Ling a surprise attack, Ji Ling was caught off guard, and was cut off his horse by Guan Yu with a knife, and fell to the ground and died!

"Rush!" Seeing Guan Yu's victory, Liu Bei commanded the troops to surround Ji Ling's troops, Yuan Shu's soldiers themselves had no morale, and seeing that Ji Ling was killed, the birds and beasts soon dispersed.

"Report! Lord, General Ji Ling was killed by Guan Yu, the soldiers scattered and fled, and Liu Bei came here with a large army! ”

"What?!" Yuan Shu stumbled and almost fell off his horse, but the deputy general Yuan Shu held him up.

"Ji Ling is dead?"

"My lord, we should make a decision early!" The deputy general reminded Yuan Shu that Liu Bei was coming.

"Order the whole army, the rear army will become the front army, and retreat to Huainan!" Yuan Shu made a quick decision and ordered the troops to retreat.

"General, Yuan Shu's army has retreated, as if it is going to cross the Huai River system and return to Shouchun!"

"Order the whole army, the whole army assault, pursue Yuan Shu!" Liu Bei immediately ordered to pursue Yuan Shu, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu each led a large army to pursue Yuan Shu from the east and west, Liu Bei was in the center, and the army was delayed.

At this time, Lu Rui and Zhu Ling were waiting for the retreating Yuan Shu and the pursuing Liu Bei in the south.

"Report! General, Ji Ling was beheaded by Guan Yu, Yuan Shu's army retreated to the river, and Liu Bei's army followed. ”

"Master Hou?"

"General Zhu, don't worry, wait for Yuan Shu's men and horses to build the pontoon bridge, Liu Bei's army has also arrived, the two armies are fighting, we are waiting for the opportunity to release the water, and when the time comes, we will go straight to Yuan Shu's baggage and clean up the mess!"

"Well, adjutant general, give orders to the whole army, watch the order flag, spread the order, dig the river, and flood Yuan Shu and Liu Bei."

"No!" The lieutenant arched his hand and retreated.

"Stupid, don't hurry up and build the pontoon bridge, Liu Bei's army is about to arrive!" A hundred-man captain whipped the soldiers building the pontoon bridge with a leather whip.

"Lord, a pontoon bridge has been built, please cross the river quickly!" The captain of the guard reported to Yuan Shu.

"Okay, let's cross the river! You commanded the soldiers to escort the treasure across the river! ”

"No!" The captain of the guard clenched his fists and led away.

"Yuan Shu's traitor is gone!"

"Hugh wants to let go of Yuan Shu's traitor!" Liu Bei's army soon caught up with Yuan Shu, and the two armies scuffled.

"Master Hou, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu are fighting together!" Zhu Ling said happily.

"Has General Zhu investigated the baggage and treasures of Yuan Shu's army?"

"The investigation is clear, Master Hou, that team is the treasure that Yuan Shu collected in Huainan!" Zhu Ling pointed to a group of men and horses in Yuan Shu's army, which were much better dressed than ordinary sergeants, with distinct colors and slightly better weapons.

"Okay, please give the order to General Zhu!"

'Adjutant General, you lead a group of soldiers to build a pontoon bridge, and I will personally dig the river, and when the water is over, you quickly lead the sergeants to control Yuan Shu's baggage and treasures!' ”

"No!"

Then Zhu Ling personally issued the command flag, dug up the water of the river, and the water rushed towards Yuan Shujun and Liu Beijun, disrupting the confrontation between the two armies.

"Big brother, I'm wet all over!" Zhang Fei twisted his robe and complained to Liu Bei.

"Big brother, this water is coming weird!" Liu Bei retreated five miles with the army before avoiding the water.

"This must be a trick by Lu Rui and Zhu Ling, our plan to seize Yuan Shu's baggage has failed!"

"Big brother! I'll take someone to get the baggage back! Zhang Fei shouted, picked up the snake spear and jumped on the horse.

"Third brother! Stop, the whole army is camped nearby, waiting for Lu Rui and Zhu Ling! ”

"Big brother??"

"Third brother, the eldest brother is right, our army has no numerical advantage compared to Zhu Ling's troops, if Lu Rui and Zhu Ling break out, our army is alone, how can we resist Cao's army?"

"This?" Zhang Fei puffed out his eyes, sighed, and went down to set up camp.

Lu Rui and Zhu Ling were cleaning the battlefield at this time, in fact, Lu Rui's flooding did not have much water, the water was just no longer in the waist of the soldiers, and began to flow in all directions, after all, a day's time, water storage? Not much!

After receiving Yuan Shu's treasures and capturing the prisoners, Lu Rui and Zhu Ling led their troops to Liu Bei's tent.

The two of them had just seen Liu Bei, and before they could see the salute, Liu Bei shouted: "Lu Rui, Zhu Ling takes the order!" Then he took out a decree.

"This?" Zhu Ling and Lu Rui were stunned, glanced at each other, and quickly knelt down, after all, they can't do it now if they violate the holy decree in public!

Then Liu Bei read out the holy decree, the main content is that after pacifying Yuan, Liu Bei led the army to Xuzhou, inspected the government affairs of Xuzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and Zhu Ling and Lu Rui led the troops back to Xudu!

After Lu Rui and Zhu Ling received the decree, Lu Rui asked with a smile: "Uncle Huang, why doesn't Benhou know that there is such a holy decree?" ”

"Lord Hou forgives the sin, this is the secret decree of His Majesty, the general didn't know the content at first, but after reading it, he knew that he was going to prepare to inspect Xuzhou, and the heart of heaven was unpredictable!" Liu Bei also replied to Lu Rui with a smile.

"Master Hou? In that case, let's return to Xudu as well! Zhu Ling persuaded Lu Rui on the side, and then whispered: "Master Hou, we don't have enough troops, and there are so many prisoners, I'm afraid it's not cheap?" ”

"General Zhu is right, Uncle Huang, Lu Rui will say goodbye, and I will see you again in the future!" After speaking, he arched his hand, and left with Zhu Ling with the people.

Liu Bei also hurried to Xuzhou, and without stopping, he took the troops to Xuzhou.

A few days later, Yuan Shu came to the vicinity of Shouchun with the remnants of the army, but received bad news one after another, his subordinates rebelled, Liu Xun seized Lujiang, Chen Lan and Lei Bo did not listen to orders, and supported the army with self-respect.

"Honey honey!" Yuan Shu's heart suddenly surged up, and he immediately wanted to take honey water.

"This?"

"The Lord forgives the sins, there is no honey left in our army!" The captain of the personal guard searched for nothing but had no choice but to report to Yuan Shu.

"What?" When Yuan Shu heard this, his eyes turned dark, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the horse. The first prince to claim the title of emperor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu died near his capital Shouchun.

An emperor star streaked across the night sky and fell. Yuan Shu's death meant that Cao Cao smashed Yuan Shu's conspiracy to go north to join Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei also took this opportunity to break away from Cao Cao's control and start his new hegemony!
