Chapter 19: Sisters in Troubled Times
In order to quell the rebellion in the Yanzhou base area, Cao Cao withdrew his troops from the Xuzhou front line and returned to besiege Puyang.
Yuan Shao took advantage of Cao Cao's Yanzhou predicament to annex Cao Cao's subordinates and ask him to return to obedience, but Cao Cao resolutely refused, and at this point, the Yuan-Cao alliance also came to an end.
Cao's army was not weak, and Cao Cao took the lead, and a few days later, he finally forced Lu Bu to retreat to the lonely camp on the border of Yanzhou, and he was about to run out of ammunition and food.
However, just when everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Xun Yu came.
"Lord, Mrs. Huan was taken away by Lu Bu!" Xun Yu didn't care about the rules of the army, and went directly into the account.
"Gongda, what did you say?" Cao Cao's heart hung in the air.
"A few days ago, the mansion was besieged by Lu Bu's people, in order to protect Mrs. Huan and her son, Mrs. Huan went to see Lu Bu and Chen Gong alone, she was carrying all of us on her back, Xun You was derelict in her duties, and she did not protect Mrs. Huan." Xun You's tone was full of self-blame.
"At that time, Lu Bu was about to break through the gate of the mansion and start a killing spree, after Mrs. Huan went out, those guards actually retreated, but, but Mrs. Huan did not come back, I am afraid that she will be detained."
"Lu Bu!" Cao Cao was anxious and angry: "He dared to detain his concubine!" Hateful! ”
"Lord, it makes sense, no wonder Lu Bu has been cornered, but he has not descended." Xun Yu said: "If there is no lady, the mansion is afraid that it will be no longer guaranteed, and Mrs. Huan is wise and brave, which is admirable." ”
"This little fool put himself in danger again, and he was going to run to save me without consulting me that day......" Speaking of Lingxi, Cao Cao's tone couldn't help but soften.
"But Xun Yu is puzzled, what Mrs. Huan said, she can make them retreat from the mansion."
"I'm afraid they know that Mrs. Huan is important to the lord and want to use this as a threat? But that's fine, at least she's safe. Guo Jiadao.
Why?
There are a few of them, only Cao Cao knows the reason.
On the way to Chen Liu, he and Lingxi got acquainted with Chen Gong, and they also traveled together, how could Chen Gong not know how important Lingxi was to him.
It's just that I didn't expect that Chen Gong scolded himself for being treacherous and killed Lu Bohao's family that day, and now he will also take his rhinoceros as a hostage.
If it weren't for Xi'er this time, his wife and children would have suffered a great disaster, but Xi'er didn't know that she was even more important to her than her wife and children.
Cao Cao was stunned, surprised by his own idea.
"Lord, there is one more thing, Mrs. Huan learned that the lord killed the old and the young in Xuzhou, and it is difficult to accept." Xun You told the truth.
……
"Report! Lu Bu sent an envoy Chen Gong to come. ”
"Coming so soon?" Guo Jiadao.
"Call him in." Cao Cao eased down from his thoughts, this Chen Gong had to be seen.
On the other hand, Lingxi was indeed in Lu Bu's military camp, but she was not too embarrassed, just because of one person, Diao Chan.
I haven't seen Diao Chan for three or four years, she is the first person I came to this world and saw when I opened my eyes, and she was also the first person I admired.
When Lingxi saw Diao Chan, he wanted to cry first.
Diao Chan's background is drifting, in order to kill Dong Zhuo, he did not hesitate to serve the thief, and Lingxi is not much better.
Along the way, he fled, was kidnapped by human traffickers, and was sent to the palace......
As soon as the two sisters met, they couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.
Lingxi was still comforting Diao Chan, so she had her own happiness, but the two had not settled down, and the military camp had been surrounded.
"Lingxi, Cao Jun is here."
Although Diao Chan would be afraid, after all, he had been trained, but he still said calmly: "I actually know that it is not that I have the ability to tell the general and Mr. Chen not to kill you, it is your own weight that is not light." Over the years, your growth has indeed been not small, but your appearance is not old, and it is the same as back then, such a beautiful woman like water must be deeply loved by Cao Cao. ”
"My sister overestimated Lingxi, Lingxi didn't dare to say it before, but now, he is like a different person, cold-blooded, cruel, General Lu Bu's strength is not weak, how could he let go of a good opportunity to kill him, I'm afraid Lingxi won't work."
Lingxi was sad to say, and shuddered at the thought that Cao Cao had ordered so many innocent people to be killed.
"The matter has come to this point, Mr. Chen is afraid that he will go to talk to them, whether Cao Cao's Mrs. Huan is valuable or not, let's wait and see."
"Diao, Diao!" At this time, Lu Bu walked in. In times of crisis, he can die on the battlefield, but he can't ignore Diao Chan's life or death.
"Why are you still staying with this woman, he is the woman of the thief!" Lu Bu saw Lingxi sitting aside, and suddenly became furious: "I really shouldn't have listened to Chen Gong and you, I should have killed all the people in Cao Mansion, and now I can die a happy death!" ”
"General, don't talk nonsense." Diao Chan stopped Lu Bu: "If it weren't for Sister Lingxi, where would we have the last conditions to talk to Cao Cao." ”
"Ridiculous, do you believe that Cao Cao will withdraw his troops because of a woman? You all say I'm naïve, I think it's you and Chen Gongtai. ”
Lingxi sat on the side and didn't speak, in fact, she really couldn't figure out her position in Cao Cao's heart, that man, the love he showed was strong possessive, but it was not so fiery and intense.
Coupled with the matter in Xuzhou, Lingxi didn't even know how to see him again and what to say.
After a while, Chen Gong returned from Cao's camp, and the news he brought back was that as long as the spirit rhino was handed over, Cao Jun would leave a way out for Lu Bu.
Chen Gong and Diao Chan were not surprised at all by this answer, but Lingxi and Lu Bu took a deep breath.
Early the next morning, the spirit rhino was taken out of the tent as an exchange hostage.
Cao Ren and the others expected that they would not dare to move the spirit rhino, so they relaxed their vigilance, but they didn't want to, a large army appeared in the south, and it seemed that they had come to rescue Lu Bu.
Cao Ren was shocked, hurriedly dispatched troops to deal with it, and suddenly saw a fierce general rushing out in front of him.
He has seen and known this person, it is Guan Yu.
How could he withstand Guan Yunchang, he was defeated for a while, I don't want to, this Guan Yu's target is not someone else, but Lingxi.
The army stood in front of Lü Bu's camp and blocked the attack of Cao's army, and Lü Bu received assistance and took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.
What to do, my sister-in-law snatched it away, and those people didn't seem to be here to attack them, one was to cover Lu Bu's departure, and the other was to catch my sister-in-law.
Cao Ren's heart was a mess, he wanted to cry without tears, and he only hoped that Lingxi would not be hurt so that he could find a way.
How can I see my eldest brother, this is my eldest brother's favorite sister-in-law......
In Cao's mansion, Cao Cao was uneasy, the only person who could make him uneasy was in danger at the moment, Yanzhou was saved, his home was saved, but Lingxi was gone.
News came from Xuzhou that Tao Qian died of illness, and Liu Bei led Xuzhou Mu on his behalf, but he didn't expect that the first thing this guy did when he took office was to help Lu Bu break through and take away Lingxi.
Liu Bei has endured for many years, and now that Xuzhou is in his hands and has a foothold, he will go against himself.
Although they analyzed that Guan Yu would not take Lingxi away to kill her, he didn't even know who Lingxi was, but that was his most precious woman, she was delicate and lovable, and he didn't even want Lingxi to get pregnant at such a young age.
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he suddenly felt that he had a splitting headache and fell to the ground.
"Lord!" Guo Jia exclaimed.
