Chapter 127: A City-wide Search
Cao Cao's foundation was almost all started by the two brothers Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Dun, so it is not surprising that most of the generals in the army are surnamed Cao and Xiahou.
It's just that after really hearing the other party's introduction, Cao Ang was still a little surprised, just because his childhood playmate was also named Xiahou Heng.
That person was Xiahou Yuan's eldest son, Xiahou Boquan.
After asking, the general in front of him also chuckled lightly, and then raised his head.
"After seven or eight years, Childe still remembers the last general? The last general is Xiahou Boquan of Qiaoxian County! ”
Sure enough, as Cao Ang expected, the person in front of him was his childhood playmate.
At this time, seeing that he was actually in Xiahoudun's army, Cao Ang was also quite happy, so things were even easier.
"It turned out to be Bo Quan, then I don't have anything to worry about, Bo Quan quickly gathered the army together, I want them to help me find someone!"
Xiahou Heng has always been by Xiahoudun's side, so he naturally knows Xiahoudun's attitude towards Cao Ang, and he didn't have any doubts at this time, so he nodded immediately.
Even seeing that Cao Ang was quite serious and attentive at this time, Xiahou Heng on the side took the initiative to explain it to him.
"Childe, there is no war in the city now, and the army must not leave the city, if Childe wants to look for it in the city, the last general can send a large army to search."
"If you need to go out of the city to find it, it will be a little troublesome, and the last general can only send 5,000 people to follow Gongzi, and if you need to consult General Xiahoudun."
Hearing such words, Cao Ang also expressed his understanding, and immediately nodded happily.
"Don't worry, Boquan, this son will not embarrass you, look for it in this city first."
Seeing that Cao Ang was so polite, Xiahou Heng also hurriedly excused himself.
"Childe doesn't have to be like this, it is natural for the general to be able to work for Childe, there is no difficulty, I don't know who Childe is looking for?"
After an inquiry was spoken, Cao Ang's eyes also showed a serious look, and then he spoke quietly.
"Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi!"
After learning that the woman this son was searching for was actually Lu Lingqi, the daughter of Lu Bu, Xiahou Heng couldn't help but be stunned.
There are almost no female dependents in the army, but Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi is quite conspicuous, and Xiahou Heng naturally knows it.
I heard that this person was the red face of the son in front of him, and at this time, seeing that this son came to find him with an anxious face, Xiahou Heng also knew that maybe this matter was not groundless.
"Childe, don't worry, this Lu Lingqi Many soldiers in our army know her, and when the army is called, maybe you don't need to look for it, you can know the clues just by asking."
This Xiahou Heng was able to be the deputy general by Xiahou Yuan's side, in addition to being the son of Xiahou Yuan, he was also a person with outstanding ability.
Seeing that Cao Ang was a little worried at the moment, when he ordered the army to be gathered, he also comforted Cao Ang.
Sure enough, after hearing such comfort, Cao Ang's face was indeed a little relaxed, and the original worried look on his face was also dispersed at this time.
"If that's the case, that's for the best!"
A moment later, Xiahou Heng led Xiahoudun's nearly 18,000 headquarters army to assemble.
After the barracks in the city, I saw that he called a few lieutenants, and after telling Cao Ang that he was looking for Lu Lingqi, these lieutenants also quickly conveyed it to the commander of the thousand and the centurion.
In the end, in this short period of time, almost all the more than 18,000 troops knew what was going on, and it was precisely because of this that many people also came up one after another for a while.
These people are all people who have seen Lu Lingqi's traces.
Some have seen her on the path leading to the north gate, and some have seen her on the road leading to Cao Cao's military tent, but since Lu Lingqi entered Cao Cao's military tent, no one has seen Lu Lingqi again.
When all the clues pointed to his father, Rao is Cao Ang still wanted to calm down, and his lips trembled with anger at this time.
Knowing this time, Xiahou Heng knew the seriousness of this matter, and felt that the red face of the son in front of him was actually hidden by Cao Cao.
"Boquan, I'm sorry for you to send three thousand soldiers and horses out to search for Lu Lingqi's traces in this city, and this son will take people out of the city to find her!"
After giving an explanation, Cao Ang did not stay here for a long time, and then left in a hurry.
That Xiahou Heng listened to Cao Ang's instructions, and he was quite hesitant at this time, if he was about the same as Lu Lingqi's clues, it would be fine, but once he found Lu Lingqi's clues, and when the spearhead was pointed at Cao Cao, what should he do?
After hesitating for a moment, Xiahou Heng finally made a decision in this regard.
"Xiahou An listened to the order, and quickly sent three thousand elite soldiers to search for Lu Lingqi's traces in this Xu County, Xu County is so big, even if it is three feet into the ground, you have to search it all over again!"
After an order was given, the 3,000-strong army quickly dispatched and searched again in Xu County, which had just ended the battle.
Such a huge posture naturally quickly reached Cao Cao's ears.
In Cao Cao's military tent, the military meeting had been discussed at this time, and when he learned that Cao Ang was so serious about this Lu Lingqi that he did not hesitate to turn the world upside down in this Xu County, his eyes became even more solemn.
I don't know how long it took, Dian Wei slowly walked in from outside the tent.
"Prime Minister, Wang Yi is asking to see you outside."
This Wang Yi came to Cao Cao's tent before, and he never needed to go through any notification, and at this time, he didn't know why, but he took the initiative to let this Dian Wei come to report.
After hearing such words, Cao Cao also put away the solemnity on his face, and after continuing to show that calm and indifferent look, he let this Wang Yi enter his tent.
With a slight sound of footsteps, Wang Yi, who was soaked all over his body because he was looking for Liu Bei in the rain, also changed into a dark blue uniform and walked in at this time.
"Prime Minister, the last general and the son went out of the city all the way to pursue Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and after chasing them to the top of a small road outside the city, they only found Zhang Fei alone, and after shooting him down the cliff, they did not find any trace of Liu Bei."
After saying such words, Wang Yi also hesitated for a moment, and then added.
"Before, the son forcibly broke into the prime minister's account, I'm afraid he also wants to talk about this matter."
Liu Bei didn't kill, which was naturally a big deal for Cao Cao.
It's just that after Cao Cao heard such words at this time, he immediately disdained it, and then said quietly.
"What? You're also here to plead with this rebel for an explanation? ”
At this time, Wang Yi's face was still unchanged as before, and in the face of Cao Cao's questioning, he still answered calmly.
"What the last general stated is the truth, and he doesn't dare to defend his son."
