Chapter 164: The Death of Gongmei (2/2)
Since ancient times, people's hearts have been unpredictable.
Guo Jia regretted a little, he seemed to have lost some people's speculation.
When Cao Cao heard this, he also felt that something was not appropriate. It's just that all the soldiers and horses he has drawn out have been dispatched, and he doesn't know where to draw them for a while.
"I heard that Liu Xuande has captured Xiao County?"
"Exactly."
"Lord, since Liu Xuande is here, why don't you let him go?"
"You mean ......"
Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "Liu Xuande and Chuang'er have always been dirty, if Liu Bei is allowed to send troops to encircle and suppress Liu Chuang, he must not refuse." ”
After Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but agree.
Moreover, he doesn't seem to have any other choice now, in the entire Pengcheng, it seems that there is only one soldier and horse that can be drawn out of Liu Bei.
"What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, since this is the case, I immediately ordered Liu Bei to send troops to assist Mancheng in encircling and suppressing Liu Chuang."
I don't know when Liu Chuang has occupied a very important position in Cao Cao's mind.
Even if he tried to let go of Lu Bu this time, he didn't want to let Liu Chuang go. Guy Liu Chuang's rise was too rapid...... Like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, which is not accumulated over the years. Even Sun Ce, who 'lions can't compete with', didn't rise as quickly as Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang's appearance was not called at all.
It seems that it rose in Qingzhou all of a sudden, and Gen did not give Cao Cao a chance to react.
This kid is too good at taking advantage of the situation, and he knows how to win over allies. From Lu Bu to Yuan Shao to Sun Ce, and even Liu Biao in Jingzhou, they all unknowingly got in touch with him. This speed of development has already made Cao Cao feel terrified. If you don't kill Liu Chuang, sooner or later you will become a confidant.
Guo Jia saw Cao Cao and dispatched Liu Bei. Finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled slightly, the whole person seemed to become much more relaxed, and after saying goodbye to Cao Cao, he strolled through Cao Cao's camp. He said to himself: "Liu Chuang, let's see how you pass this time!" ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.
The camp outside Tan County was in shambles. Charred corpses were everywhere.
Liu Chuang stood on the city gate tower and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
Plumes of green smoke rose from the camp, and the sky was misty......
However, Liu Chuang did not have any joy after the victory, on the contrary, he felt an indescribable sense of heaviness in his heart!
I don't know if Hengruo can catch up?
"Childe, General Xiahou sent someone to summon you."
Just when Liu Chuang's thoughts were flying away from the nine skies, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves coming from the galloping road.
A young player came galloping in. After going up to the castle tower. Roll the saddle and fall off the horse. Kneeling on one knee, he panted and said, "Childe, it's not good." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Chuang's heart suddenly chuckled. Hurriedly walked a few steps, and asked sharply, "What's the alarm?" ”
"General Xiahou summoned. Last night, there was a sneak attack on Jiqiu. ”
"How's the battle going?"
"Returning to Gongzi, Zang Ba ordered Sun Guan and Wu Dun to sneak attack Jiqiu overnight, and General Xu might as well go down, destroy all the baggage, and fight his way out of the encirclement.
Fortunately, General Xiahou arrived in time and repelled the pursuers.
Now, General Xiahou and General Xu have arrived thirty miles north of the city and are approaching Tan County. ”
"Brother Tiger!"
Liu Chuang almost didn't think about it, and shouted loudly: "Immediately bring someone to pick up Hengruo." ”
Xu Chu hurriedly agreed, and rushed down the city tower with people.
Soon, the first school Xiong Zhenjun rushed out of Tanxian and hurried towards the north of the city.
Liu Chuang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked down from the city.
He was about to get on his horse, but he saw Lu Zhu hurrying over, "Meng Yan, I just got the news from the scout, Zhu Ling has arrived in Xiangben with eight thousand soldiers. ”
It's coming so fast!
Liu Chuang's face changed, but he didn't show a flustered look.
"In the direction of Wuyuan, can there be any movement?"
"Back to the son, Li Mancheng has not made any moves."
It seems that Cao Cao's coordination between them in this operation has not been done well.
Fortunately, Lu Zhu is his own person, so that Liu Chuang can know the situation in advance. Otherwise, if you really delay for two days in Tan County, and then want to get out, it will be a little difficult.
"Big brother, come immediately with filial piety."
"Whoa!"
Lu Zhu also knew at this time that the matter was very urgent.
So he hurriedly took the order and left, looking at Lu Zhu's back, Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: Lu Zhu is indeed a talented person.
He has governed the East China Sea for two years, and the East China Sea County can be described as smooth and rainy, which makes him quite prestigious.
Similarly, Elk Zhu's coping ability is also very strong. If he hadn't made a temporary move on the city gate tower yesterday and reminded Liu Chuang, I'm afraid Liu Chuang would really be in big trouble. And after seizing Tan County, Lu Zhu quickly pacified the people in the city. Although Tan County looks depressed, there is no chaos. This also gave Liu Chuang enough time to make arrangements and plans for the next step.
Che Xuan was captured, and Cao's army was annihilated.
There are still 3,000 soldiers in Tan County, all of whom are under Liu Chuang's command.
This also gives Liu Chuanghuan room to turn, God knows what the situation is on the other side of Jiqiu?
After a while, Gao Shun hurried over.
Liu Chuang dragged Gao Shun over, "Xiaogong, I don't have to say anything about the situation we are facing now."
What I want to sue you is that Zang Ba is reversed! ”
"Xuangao damn it!"
Gao Shun was furious and couldn't help but scold.
Last night, after he entered Tan County, Liu Chuang explained to him that Zang Ba might have surrendered to Cao Cao. But Gao Shun didn't believe it at that time, and swore that Zang Ba would never surrender. Who knows, in the blink of an eye, the facts gave him a big slap in the face.
Zang Ba, it's really the opposite......
"Xiaogong, we don't have time to blame Zang Ba now.
It doesn't matter when Zang Ba surrendered or why. The important thing is that if he is reversed, our way back will be cut off.
Previously, Zang Ba said that Lu Qian was in Linyi.
I guess this is a lie, Lu Qian is afraid that he has arrived in Gai County at this time. He will definitely drag Ziyi and them, making it difficult for Beihai to send troops to rescue. In other words, we are now alone, and there is no way out. The only way out. It is to quickly go to Xiapi and meet with the prince. However, Cao Cao has already sent Li Dian to come, if we want to retreat to Xiapi. Li Dian must be defeated.
I now put all of the Xiong Gang Army under your command.
Three thousand five hundred bears are under your control...... I want you to send troops immediately, be sure to defeat Li Dian, and ensure that the passage to Pi is unblocked. ”
Gao Shun's stereotyped face seemed to have no expression, and his cheeks twitched slightly.
"Uncle Huang rest assured, let that Li Dian come and go."
Xiong Zhenjun never asked how many enemies there were, only where they were!
This is also the rule that Liu Chuang established in the place where Xiong Zhenjun was formed. He put the Spartans with a fighting philosophy. Passed into the Xiong Zhen army. After a year and a half of training. This concept has been integrated into Gao Shun's bones. In fact. This philosophy is also very suitable for Gao Shun. He was a man of few words, no matter how many enemies there were. The only way to fight to the death......
So, when Liu Chuang ordered with him. Gao Shungen did not ask how many soldiers and horses Li Dian had.
There is no need to ask, because he knows that the final victory must belong to Xiong Zhenjun.
Liu Chuang nodded, and asked Gao Shun to prepare.
He hurried out of the city gate, and in a short time he saw a troop of soldiers and horses coming from a distance.
On Xu Sheng's face, there were still traces of fire...... When he saw Liu Chuang from a distance, he turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground.
"Childe, entrusted by Sheng Gongzi, was attacked by Zang Ba, and his baggage was completely destroyed.
Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang he ......"
Liu Chuang shuddered, dragged Xu Sheng up, and said sharply: "How is Gongmei's situation?" ”
"When Mr. Huang broke through, he was injured by a stray arrow, and his injuries were extremely serious."
"Mr. Wu, where is Mr. Wu, please come quickly."
Liu Chuang didn't wait for Xu Sheng to finish speaking, pushed him away, and after shouting loudly, he walked quickly to the army.
Two sergeants carried Huang Shao on a simple stretcher...... Huang Shao was lying on a stretcher, with a sharp arrow still stuck in his chest, and his whole body was stained red with blood.
"Gongmei, Gongmei?"
Liu Chuang came to the stretcher and called out repeatedly.
Huang Shao opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Childe, Zang Ba is reversed!" ”
"I know, I know."
Liu Chuang's heart ached, like a knife.
Huang Shao had already seen that Zang Ba was not quite right, but Liu Chuang, who was complacent at the time, was a little empty-eyed and didn't listen to it.
In other words, he has always despised Huang Shao.
I think that among the many people who followed Liu Chuang's trouble, Liu Chuang despised the most than Huang Shao.
In Gaomi, and even in Beihai, Huang Shao's sense of existence is also the weakest. If he hadn't gone to Northern Xinjiang this time, and wasn't in Gaomi, Liu Chuang might not have used Huang Shao. In fact, Huang Shao has been unknown under Liu Chuang's account, but he has never complained.
Huang Shao's face squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "I guessed right this time!" ”
This sentence made Liu Chuang's tears flow out at once.
In terms of talent, Huang Shao's ability is indeed not very strong, but he has always hoped that he can gain Liu Chuang's attention and recognition. And this time, he exchanged his life for Liu Chuang's attention, but ...... Liu Chuang grabbed Huang Shao's hand, but he didn't know what to say.
"Gongmei, I know, you're very powerful."
"Ahem, ahem...... I think so too. Huang Shao smiled and said softly: "It's just that in the future, I'm afraid Shao will never be able to follow Gongzi again." ”
"Gongmei!"
Liu Chuang held Huang Shao's hand tightly.
"Childe, you must remember it in the future.
When he should be nervous, if he is not nervous, there must be fraud. ”
"I wrote it down, I wrote it down!"
Huang Shao smiled even more, lying on the stretcher, looking at the blue sky and the white clouds.
After a while, he seemed to say to himself: "Childe, I really want to go home......"
The voice stopped abruptly, and Huang Shao held Liu Chuang's hand tightly and suddenly let go.
"Gongmei, Gongmei wakes up ......"
Liu Chuang shouted loudly, but Huang Shao never opened his eyes again.
"Boy, how did you see the flaw?"
"Who are you?"
"Just like you, an unlucky man......"
"My name is Huang Zhao, a native of Runan."
“……”
Huang Shao is the first person Liu Chuang met after he was reborn.
And after that. He seems to have an inexhaustible connection with Liu Chuang, from Xuejiadian to Yuzhou Mountain; From Xuzhou to Yangzhou......
Arguably. Huang Shao is also the closest person since Liu Chuang's rebirth, except for Liu Yong Guan Hai.
It's just that Liu Chuang never really paid attention to him.
In Liu Chuang's heart. Huang Shao is a guy who is a little clever and can come up with a little bad idea.
But it was this person who had actually been following him silently, accompanying him from a kid who didn't know anything to today's imperial uncle.
It is often said that only after losing will you know how to cherish it.
Liu Chuang only felt that his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long roar.
"Gongmei!"
Xia Houlan, Xu Sheng and others stood aside, silent.
Then. Elk Zhu also got the news. Hurried from the city.
He helped Liu Chuang up. "Zizhong, I know you're sad now...... But you know, now everyone depends on you. You must not lose your proportions. ”
"I know, I know!"
Liu Chuang wiped the tears from his face. took a step forward, picked Huang Shao up from the stretcher, turned around and strode towards the city.
"Gongmei, I swear to you that one day, I will use Zang Ba's head to honor you.
If you have a spirit in heaven, please help me again. If you don't kill Zang Xuangao, Liu Chuang swears not to be a person! ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back in the Tanxian County Mansion, Liu Chuang ordered someone to place Huang Shao's body.
Since he was about to march, he couldn't take Huang Shao's corpse with him. So under the arrangement of Lu Zhu, let Lin Lezi take a group of domestic servants to secretly send Huang Shao's body to Yushan for proper placement.
"Yesterday, Zang Ba ordered Sun Guan and Wu Dun to suddenly come to Jiqiu and said that it was the labor army.
Gongmei sensed that something was not quite right at that time, but I didn't care, so I was taken advantage of by Sun Guan and Wu Dun. Last night, they suddenly launched and set fire to the baggage. Gongmei and I hurriedly responded to the battle, but who knew that Zang Ba also sent people to ambush outside Jiqiu City.
I saw that I was outnumbered and fought my way out of the encirclement with Gongmei.
If it weren't for Heng Ruo's timely arrival, I would have almost lost my life. ”
Xu Sheng briefly told Liu Chuang what happened last night.
Liu Chuang's face was expressionless, and the whole person was calm, like a stone Buddha......
"Xiang, I can't blame you for this, I'm too underestimated.
Gongmei had reminded me before, but unfortunately I didn't care. However, we have to write down this account, and sooner or later we will settle it with Zang Ba.
Now the situation we are facing is very serious, Zang Ba surrendered to Cao Cao, cutting off our retreat.
Therefore, we can only advance to the lower Pi and join Lu Bu as much as possible...... I have ordered Gao Shun to lead Xiong Zhen to attack and block Li Dian's department.
Now, I make all you spirits stir.
Let's leave immediately, and we must break through before dawn tomorrow.
Brother Tiger! ”
"Whoa!"
Xu Chu stepped forward.
"You led the Flying Bear Cavalry out of the city immediately and chased after Xiaogong.
If Xiaogong and Li Dian have already clashed, you will choose the opportunity to attack and help Xiaogong defeat Li Dian...... However, it must be remembered that only the defeat is carried out, and Hugh must pursue. ”
"The last general understands!"
Xu Chu took the arrow and strode out of the mansion.
Subsequently, Liu Chuang asked Lu Zhu to act as the commander of the marching army, and then handed over the Flying Bear Infantry Army to the commander of Xiahou Lan.
Xu Sheng was the deputy general and followed Liu Chuang. At noon, Liu Chuang ordered troops and horses, a total of 5,000 people, and quickly left the city and rushed in the direction of Xiapi.
At the same time, on the road from Pengcheng to Liangcheng, a group of soldiers and horses was marching rapidly.
Liu Bei straddled the horse and kept urging the sergeant to speed up.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei accompanied Liu Bei, urging the somewhat exhausted Cao Jun to hurry......
"Big brother, didn't Cao Cao say that we should rush to Wuyuan and cooperate with Li Dian's action?"
Zhang Fei urged him to step forward, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly decide to go to Liangcheng?" That's a missed opportunity to kill the thieves. ”
Liu Bei reined in the horse, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a sneer.
"Cao Cao thought he knew Chuang'er, but he didn't know that I knew Chuang'er better than him.
After the thief arrived in Qingzhou, I paid attention to every move, that guy was by no means as simple as Cao Cao imagined. You said that I asked Xianhe to go to Tan County, was it really just to appease Zizhong? Zizhong has been too calm in the past two years, and the calm makes me feel a little scared. That's why I let Kenhe go with me. If Zizhong has a problem, Xianhe will kill him on the spot; If he has no problems, Xianhe will cooperate with the chariot and defend Tan County. It's just that I feel that Tan County may not be able to drag Chuang Er down. ”
"Then shouldn't we go to Wuyuan?"
On the side, Guan Yu suddenly sneered: "If Li Mancheng can stop the thieves, let's go to add color to Li Mancheng."
If Li Mancheng can't stop the thieves, he can take this opportunity to kill some of the thieves, and then raid in Liangcheng and kill them.
Brother, am I right? ”
Liu Bei smiled slightly, "Yun Chang has made great progress recently. ”
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, he snorted, and stopped talking.
Since Liu Chuang returned to Guan Ping last year and wiped the book away, there has been a gap between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
It is no wonder that two people live in two classes.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can walk together, and Gaine has such a peacemaker as Liu Bei. Liu Bei could naturally feel the contradiction between Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. He also worked hard to mend the relationship between the two, but Guan Yu or Zhang Fei were all extremely arrogant people. In front of Liu Bei, the two of them may be able to get along peacefully. But once the two are alone, there will be disputes.
Liu Bei also felt helpless about this.
Both of them are his brothers, and this bowl of water must be level.
Although he also knew that this matter was Zhang Fei's provocation first; But in my heart, I often have questions: Yun Chang is really loyal?
However, Guan Yu was disdainful to explain, which also made Liu Bei always have a thorn in his heart.
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Yide!"
"Whoa!"
"You lead the cavalry first, and you must arrive at Liangcheng before dark.
After arriving in Liangcheng, he immediately sent scouts to investigate the battle situation in Tanxian County. If Li Mancheng and Zhu Bo succeed in encircling the city, you will immediately notify me, and then lead your troops to approach Tan County. If the encirclement is not successful, then you can't act rashly, and be sure to wait until I arrive in Liangcheng to make plans. ”
Zhang Fei hurriedly gave up his orders and urged the horse to leave.
When Zhang Fei walked away, Liu Bei smiled and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, Yide is straightforward and fast-talking, and there is no malice.
He has always respected you, although he occasionally shows a little childishness, and you have a lot of tolerance. You and my brother, since Zhuojun sent troops, it has been more than ten years, and there is still nothing to achieve. That's why we need to work together, don't you say? ”
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair lightly and did not answer.
He only nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Liu Bei meant.
Seeing this, Liu Bei also felt quite helpless, so he had to sigh softly in his heart, and then ordered: "Inform Uncle Zhi and ask him to speed up his march again." ”
