Chapter 23 The ruthlessness and love of the hero

Lingxi was taken back to the barracks by Cao Cao, and was held tightly in his arms all the way, her heart completely relaxed, and she closed her eyes.

In the commander's tent, Cao Cao was discussing with the generals and strategists about the capture of Xiapi.

Only by winning Xiapi can he finally take Xuzhou.

Today's Xiapi is already a lonely city, but Lu Bu and Chen Gong are stubbornly guarding the city, and the grain and grass in the city are abundant, enough to hold on for more than a few months.

Cao's army came from Yanzhou, and the grain and grass could not support long-term operations, so the most important thing at the moment was to find a way to lure Lu Bu out of the city, accelerate the pace of attack, and quickly resolve the battle.

"Lord, I went to the city tower with Gongda to drink last night."

When everyone was thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy, Guo Jia slowly stood up.

"Last night we attacked Xuzhou City, we all drank and celebrated together, but I didn't see Mr. Guo Xun and the two gentlemen, but I didn't expect to avoid everyone and go to the city tower alone?" On the side, Xu Chu's eyes were gloomy, and he teased: "What's the matter, the wine in the city is better to drink?" ”

"The general doesn't know, the scenery in the city is unique." Guo Jia is good at wine, this is well known, speaking of wine, I am afraid that I can talk for a few days and nights, but now the business is important, and if I continue to joke, I am afraid that I will be punished by the lord, he got back to the truth and preached: "The rainy season is coming, there was a light rain last night, and the wind at night brought thick moisture. ”

"What do you mean, sir? When did this war become associated with rain? Cao Ren asked curiously.

"The moat outside Xiapi City is the key to the victory of this battle." Xun You couldn't stand Guo Jia's fooling people, so he told him bluntly.

"Moat? The moat is used to defend the city, how can it help me to attack the city? The crowd was still puzzled.

"There are Surabaya and Yishui in the distance, and when the rainy season comes, the river will rise." Guo Jiadao.

"Heaven help me!" Several generals were still thinking about Xun You and Guo Jia's words, but Cao Cao had already understood.

He looked at Guo Xun and the others with appreciation, and then his expression turned cold, and he ordered: "When the rain pours down, the city will be irrigated with water and water!" ”

A few days later, it did rain heavily, and the rain continued for several days.

The river embankment was broken, and the flood struck, affecting countless people in the city, and this battle was fought cruelly and hard.

In the end, Cao Cao captured Xiapi and captured LΓΌ Bu and Chen Gong.

Xuzhou was completely controlled by Cao Cao, and now there are only two people left, one is Liu Bei and the other is Diao Chan.

Before coming to Xuzhou, Cao Cao had discussed with several of them how to deal with Liu Bei.

They had several advisers, one said to kill, one said to use, and the other said to kill after use.

In view of Liu Bei's prestige, even if he coveted his own spiritual rhino, Cao Cao always felt that if he killed Liu Bei, he was afraid that it would be detrimental to the recruitment of other talents, and he also underestimated Liu Bei a little, and it was expected that he had no troops now, so he temporarily left him.

Cao Cao had his own plans in his heart, and Liu Bei also had his own ideas in his heart, he was wronged again and voted for Cao Cao, waiting for the opportunity.

And Diao Chan, Cao Cao knew that it was Lingxi's previous sister, and he had no intention of killing her, but he didn't want to, before he had time to discuss with Lingxi, Diao Chan committed suicide.

She chose to follow Lu Bu and die.

When Cao Cao came to the scene, he saw Diao Chan leaving a letter beside him, which was a letter to Lingxi.

Cao Cao held it in his hand, and without thinking about it, he opened it and looked at it.

Unexpectedly, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, this Diao Chan actually wrote a letter to Lingxi before he died, hoping that Lingxi would leave him, she scolded her various actions in the letter, and the most hateful thing was that she hoped that Lingxi could follow Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei was worthy of entrustment.

It turned out that this was not for Lingxi, I'm afraid it was deliberately shown to him, falsely claiming to be Lingxi's sister, and actually provoking the relationship between the two of them.

Can this kind of letter be shown to Lingxi, Cao Cao threw the handkerchief written directly into the fire.

I originally wanted to let her go, but I didn't expect this woman to be so vicious, Cao Cao's eyes were cruel, and he left angrily.

On the other hand, although the Lingxi in the tent was in the barracks, he didn't know anything about the outside world, and he had never seen Cao Cao since he returned to Cao Cao that day.

He hadn't come to see him, and he didn't know how the matter was handled.

Lingxi grabbed the delicate little ring on her ankle and looked back and forth, this thing was very hard, and she couldn't find the mechanism, she pulled back and forth, the more she thought about it, the more angry and sad she became.

When Cao Cao came, he saw the movements of the spirit rhino at a glance.

"Stop!" He let out a loud shout and walked over to the Spirit.

He sat down beside Lingxi, regardless of Lingxi's struggle, grabbed the little foot and put it in the palm of his hand, looked at the red marks pulled out by Lingxi, and said sharply: "What are you doing!" ”

"I don't want this, I don't want this!" Lingxi was annoyed, and when he saw Cao Cao, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he became more and more excited.

"Rhino." Cao Cao sighed and hugged her comfortingly in his arms: "The military is busy these days, no, it's just over, I'm here to accompany you, how is Xi'er's rest, we can go home in a few days." ”

"I said I don't want this, didn't you hear me." Lingxi's voice also softened, but he was still sad: "It's not my will, but because of this thing, you don't even pay attention to me, you still doubt it at all, right?" ”

"I'm thinking about this. Didn't I say it a long time ago, don't you mind. Cao Cao comforted.

"You don't understand what I mean, it's not that you mind, but trust, I said, he didn't touch me, but you just blindly respond, you won't mind, even if you really don't mind, so what."

"Okay, Xi'er, I say seriously, I have never disbelieved you, a long time ago at Wang Yun's place, you were able to clean yourself, I believe that you will insist on protecting yourself for me. It's not your fault, it's all Liu Bei's fault. ”

"But this is indeed a treasure, once it is buckled, it cannot be opened, I am afraid that it is specially used to lock the beauty, and if I ask others to find a way, my Mrs. Huan will not be looked down upon by others."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "I think this thing is extremely exquisite, and the rhinoceros is even more delicate under the background, it doesn't hurt to keep it, don't deliberately resist it, you can live in peace with it." ”

"But this is Liu Bei's doing!" Lingxi dissatisfied.

She didn't know that Cao Cao actually hated Liu Bei in his heart, but he couldn't kill Liu Bei at this time, because Liu Bei was alone and lost the people who wanted to take refuge in him, so Cao Cao decided to keep this ring and kill Liu Bei angrily.

It was a secret fight between two men, and he didn't say it.

"Rhino, don't think about it. The matter of Xuzhou has been resolved, Lu Bu Chen Gong is dead, Diao Chan has also committed suicide, and after dealing with the affairs of the city, we will return to Xuchang. ”

"What, you said Diao?"

"Diao Chan is my only sister......" Hearing the news, Lingxi became sad again, she couldn't complain that Cao Cao killed Lu Bu, she already knew the cruelty of the war, but Diao Chan's life experience was zero, and she didn't want to end up like this.

"Rhino, you still have me." These things all started because of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had nothing to say, but could only comfort Lingxi.

"Don't worry, there's good news. Haven't you always been worried about the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, this time when you return to Xuchang, you will be able to meet him. ”

"Your Majesty went to Xuchang?"

"A while ago, there was civil strife in Chang'an, Your Majesty escaped from Chang'an under the protection of the generals Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and the ministers, he summoned the princes to go to King Qin, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others did not go, so I ordered Yanzhou to go to meet the Son of Heaven, and now I have caught up with them in Luoyang."

"The capital of Luoyang has been destroyed, so we welcome the Son of Heaven into Xuchang."

In this way, didn't the court and the Son of Heaven all fall into the hands of Cao Cao?

Lingxi thought to himself, he coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes afraid that it was about to start......

There is nothing she can do about history, the life and death of each of them are doomed, but haven't you figured it out a long time ago, this time the chain did not make Cao Cao have a mustard for her, Lingxi hopes, she thinks less, and stays by his side safely.

"Rhino, I'll stay with you tonight." Seeing that Lingxi didn't speak, Cao Cao thought that she was still uncomfortable.

"Mengde, I only have you now, you must not have an accident, you must be fine." The spirit rhino suddenly crashed into Cao Cao's arms.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said gently: "I still want to stay with you, how can it be." ”

"Xi'er, it's been so long, do you want me."

"I want to miss you......"

Late at night, in this camp, Lingxi finally merged into Cao Cao's arms again.

The buckled ankle was tied to the side of the bed by Cao Cao with a rope, and the freedom of the spirit was in his hands.

It's really something in the palm of your hand, Lingxi smiled helplessly, and gritted his teeth and said secretly, Liu Bei, I thank you.

But in an instant, all her thoughts followed Cao Cao, and she never had the heart to think about anything else.
