Chapter 175: The Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou

Previous Chapter

In Xudu, although Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and Wang Zifu's group, the resentment in his heart still could not be eliminated, in order to give Emperor Xian a profound lesson, he took a pair of people and horses into the palace to kill Dong Guifei. She is Dong Cheng's sister, and Emperor Xian likes her, so he accepted the concubine, which is why he has the identity of Dong Chengguo's uncle. After the edict incident, she was just five months pregnant, and she happened to be in the harem with Emperor Xian to talk about why Dong Cheng's side did not respond, and asked Queen Fu to verify, and while talking, she suddenly saw Cao Cao coming in with a sword and a team of people, his face was full of anger, Emperor Xian felt very frightened and stood aside.

Cao Cao walked in front of everyone and said, "Dong Cheng has recently rebelled, I wonder if His Majesty knows about this matter?" ”

Emperor Xian said: "Dong Zhuo has been killed, where is there a rebellion." ”

Cao Cao emphasized loudly: "I'm not talking about Dong Zhuo, I'm talking about Dong Cheng, that is, Uncle Guo!" ”

This voice made Emperor Xian tremble, and soon he recovered his mood and replied: "Are you talking about Dong Cheng?" I really don't know about it. ”

Cao Cao knew that Emperor Xian would not admit it, so he sneered: "Did Your Majesty forget the blood letter written by cutting your finger?" ”

Emperor Xian knew that the matter had been revealed, so he fell into silence, so Cao Cao ordered the warriors to arrest Concubine Dong and bring her to him.

Emperor Xian said: "Concubine Dong is already five months pregnant, and I hope the prime minister will take pity on her." ”

Cao Cao said: "If it weren't for the failure of the matter, I would have been killed by these people a long time ago, how could I leave this woman, it will definitely be a disaster in the future." ”

Empress Fu knew that Cao Cao's killing of Concubine Dong was inevitable, so she said: "You can send Concubine Dong into the cold palace first, and wait until she gives birth to a prince before killing her." ”

Cao Cao said: "Queen Fu has thought it through, does she want me to leave this rebel seed and seek revenge on me later?" ”

Concubine Dong knew that she was in a catastrophe, so she cried: "I hope the prime minister can give me a whole corpse and don't embarrass me too much." ”

Cao Cao ordered someone to fetch white silk and handed it to her, meaning to give her this opportunity to kill herself.

Emperor Xian also cried on the side, and said, "You are under the Nine Springs, you must not resent me!" After speaking, tears rained down. Queen Fu also cried on the side, after all, it was really painful to be forced like this.

Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, and said: "You already knew that today, why do you need to make a gesture of love for children. So he asked Concubine Dong to take out and strangle her to death on the spot outside the palace.

Cao Cao ordered a person to supervise the palace ban, and ordered: "In the future, as long as it is a person from a foreign relative, clan, or other person, without my order, they will not be allowed to enter. Then he sent 3,000 henchmen to the Imperial Forest Army, and let Cao Hong personally lead it, so as not to have anything missing.

After Concubine Dong was forced to die, Cao Cao's mood was a little better, so he said to Cheng Yu: "Now that Dong Cheng and these people have been killed, there are still Ma Teng and Liu Bei outside in the edict, so I can't help but get rid of them." ”

Cheng Yu suggested: "Ma Teng is in the Xiliangtun army, there are more than 200,000, you can't provoke him at this time, you can write to him first, offer condolences, let him not be suspicious first, and then use the name of Emperor Xian to recruit him into the Beijing Division, you can easily plot him, Liu Bei is guarding in Xuzhou, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have formed a horn form, and they can't underestimate the enemy, not to mention that now Yuan Shaotun's soldiers are crossing, and there are often thoughts of plotting against Xu Du, if we once go east, Liu Bei will definitely ask Yuan Shao for help, and Yuan Shao will unite with Liu Bei when the time comes, There's no way we can deal with it. ”

Cao Cao said: "No, Liu Bei is a real master, if you let him develop, don't defeat him, and wait until his wings are full, then it will be very tricky, not to mention that his fourth brother Yuyi also left him?" This is just an opportunity, as for Yuan Shao, the advisors under him have different opinions, and he is also a suspicious person, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

While they were discussing, Guo Jia entered from outside, and Cao Cao asked, "I am preparing to go east to conquer Liu Bei, but there is Yuan Shao's worries, what do you think should be done?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "Yuan Shao's temperament is slow and very suspicious, and the strategists are jealous of each other, which is not enough to be a worry, and now Liu Bei has just integrated the new army, and the people's hearts are not completely attached, I think the prime minister can lead the troops to the east, and Liu Bei can be eliminated in a war." ”

Cao Cao was very happy and said, "This is exactly what I wanted. ”

So he gathered an army of 200,000 and divided his troops into five ways to attack Xuzhou.

After hearing the news, Xi Zuotan entered Xuzhou to report, Sun Qian hurriedly went to Xiapi to tell Guan Yu the news, and then went to Xiaopei to tell Liu Bei.

Liu Bei discussed with Sun Qian and said, "At this time, we can only go to Yuan Shao for help in order to resolve the crisis in Xuzhou." ”

So he still asked Sun Qian to be the messenger, and Liu Bei wrote a letter by himself and asked him to take it to Hebei.

In the Maocheng Inn, Huang Qiang had already attacked Yuyi with a big knife, and Yuyi saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't judge the strength of the other party, so he stabbed the iron halberd forward, wanting to test it.

The iron halberd is longer than the big knife, Huang Qiang came first after the other party, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly picked up the big knife and cut it, so the top of the iron halberd collided with the blade of the big knife, making a piercing sound.

Under this move, Yu Yi tried the strength of the other party, it is obvious that everyone's strength is at the same level, and the other party may be a little higher, Yu Yi did not give Huang Qiang a chance to breathe, and hurriedly pulled back the iron halberd, and then continuously attacked Huang Qiang's face.

I saw Huang Qiang fighting and retreating, and when he got to the back, he rotated several times in the sky in a row, resolving Yuyi's offensive one by one.

Forcing the other party back, Yuyi returned to the vicinity of the Zou family, afraid that Sikong Xuan would take the opportunity to sneak attack, and wanted to protect the other party.

Of course, Huang Qiang knew what Yu Yi meant, and did not attack immediately, and at a glance, he found that his blade did not know when, and many folds had appeared, which was obviously caused by Fang Yuyi's attack.

The material of the iron halberd is not the same as that of ordinary weapons, and its own broadsword cannot be compared, although everyone has similar martial arts, but Yuyi's weapons are much better than their own, so it is difficult to win.

Sikong Xuan saw the two fighting on the side, sighed in his heart, and saw Yuyi protecting the Zou family, he had an idea in his heart, so he said: "Brother Huang Qiang, if you specifically attack that woman, Yuyi will definitely return to defense, so that you will always be in an offensive state, and Yuyi is in a defensive state, so if you drag him like this, then you will not be far from victory." ”

Huang Qiang just didn't have an idea, and when he heard Sikong Xuan's suggestion, he immediately understood the direction, and immediately set his eyes on the Zou family in the back.

Zou stood behind Yuyi at this time, tightly protected Yuyi's back, and said: "It's me who has burdened the general, if you can't do it, you can run away alone, the concubine is a cheap life, it's not worth your doing." ”
