Chapter 139: Strength to Death
Jiujiang was too guarded by the border to lead 5,000 men and horses to rescue Xuzhou, not wanting to be intercepted by Cao Cao's army halfway, and a big war broke out between the two sides.
In the end, Bian Rang limited his own strength and was defeated by Cao Cao, and he was also captured alive by Cao Jun's general Dian Wei in the battle.
Cao Cao sat upright in the tent, looking at the unkempt Bian Rang below, with a proud face, and said left and right: "Today's battle, it is effortless to defeat the Jiujiang soldiers and horses, all of which are your achievements!" ”
When everyone below heard Cao Cao's praise, they were happy in their hearts, and replied in unison: "We don't dare to be greedy for merit, this battle is all thanks to the lord Hongfu!" ”
"Hahahaha!" As soon as everyone's words fell, Bian Rang suddenly raised his head and laughed, sneering: "There is an old saying: if the top is not right, the bottom will be oblique, the one who is above is a hypocrite, and his subordinates must be flatterers!" ”
Cao Cao heard Bian Rang's repeated insults to himself, and he was angry, and slapped the case a few times: "Pifu, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" ”
Cao Cao tolerated the side again and again, but he became more and more unscrupulous, which is simply unreasonable!
If it weren't for Bian Rang's reputation among the scholars and the fact that he had just occupied Yanzhou, Cao Cao would have ordered him to be beheaded to show the public, so as to set an example.
Bian Rang glanced at Cao Cao with disdain, and sneered: "My great head is here, you can take it, the soul of tens of thousands of people in Pengcheng is not far away, I can go together!" ”
"How dare Piffon be rude?"
Xiahoudun, who had been patient for a long time on the side, didn't wait for Cao Cao's reply, he couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened angrily, and he gave in with his fingers: "You are a person who has lost the army, Ming Gong is magnanimous and can't bear to do harm, but he doesn't know what to do, and he repeatedly speaks evil words, how is it different from a beast?" ”
Bian Rang turned around slightly, looked at Xiahoudun from top to bottom, and shook his head slightly.
Seeing Bian Rang's eyes, Xiahoudun snorted coldly and glared angrily.
Bian Rang finished looking at it, and said: "Listening to what you just said, just like a three-year-old child, Cao Cao used his sword and soldiers for his own selfishness, so that the two sergeants died in vain, how can he be magnanimous?"
In order to vent his personal anger, he raised an unknown teacher, and even went against the grain to slaughter the innocent people of Pengcheng, how can he be magnanimous?
If I am an ordinary person and do not have the fame I have now, will Cao Cao be compatible?
Because he was worried that killing me was ominous and causing turmoil in Yanzhou, he was hypocritical and righteous, and he acted in a cozy manner. ”
After Cao Cao heard Bian Rang's words, he was so angry that he scolded: "How dare Pifu'an bully me like this? After scolding, he had to order Bian Rang to be pushed out and beheaded.
In the account, Xun Yu hurriedly got up and persuaded: "The lord is angry, now Xuzhou is not broken, and the state is empty, if you kill this person, I am afraid that it will cause chaos, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Why don't you imprison it in the army first, wait for Tancheng to break through, pacify Xuzhou, and then deal with it according to the crime! ”
Bian Rang once served in He Jinfu, so he knew Xun You, and immediately said angrily: "Yingchuan Xun's family, the world has received the grace of the saint, and now I don't want to contribute to the saint, but help Cao Cao's rebels, what is the reason?" ”
Xun You didn't want to take advantage of his tongue with Bian Rang, so he looked at Cao Cao with his fists and didn't squint.
Bian Rang is bent on death, in the name of staining Cao Cao, such a trick, how Xun You can't see it, not only Xun You, but Cao Cao also knows it in his heart, but what Bian Rang said is really too annoying, and he has repeatedly challenged the lower limit of Cao Cao's patience.
Cao Cao is a hero, he knows the priority, he knows that he can't let Bian Bian be killed at this time, and he just wanted to order someone to take Bian Rang away and detain him, but he saw Xiahou Yuan striding into a person, his armor was torn and his helmet was oblique, and he was embarrassed, and before Cao Cao could react, he fell to the ground with a thud, and cried bitterly: "The last general will be guilty, I hope the lord will punish him!" ”
Cao Cao was taken aback when he saw this, got up and asked, "Why does Miaocai look like this?" Get up and talk! ”
The other people in the tent were all surprised when they saw Xiahou Yuan like this, and their faces were full of incredulity.
Xiahou Yuan still knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly and replied: "Wen Qian and I defeated Zang Ba first, and successfully seized Ju County, but before the rectification was completed, Lu Yi led the army to come.
Because the city was besieged on three sides, only the south gate was idle, so I discussed with Wen Qian to guard the east and west gates respectively, so as not to be tricked.
On the night of the third day, the two sides were fighting at night, I don't know why hundreds of enemy soldiers suddenly appeared in the city, set fire everywhere, and killed the deputy general of the grain guard, burned the grain and grass, I and Wen Qian could not rescue, and feared that the soldiers would mutiny when they saw the grain and grass being destroyed, so they immediately decided to lead the troops to break through.
Because it was expected that there would be an ambush in the south, the two of us first led the troops to the west, in order to attract the ambush to pursue, and then turned back halfway, but did not want the enemy to lead the ambush to the ambush and did not move, and blocked the retreat of our army.
Wen Qian was deeply encircled in order to protect my escape, and now my life and death are unknown, I have to protect myself from the death of my own soldiers, and I wanted to commit suicide to apologize halfway, but I was worried that the lord did not know the news of the enemy army and was not well prepared, so he traveled day and night to rush back to report.
This matter has been explained, there are no regrets, please give the Lord death to correct military law! After saying that, he leaned over and bowed.
"What?" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard that the two of them were defeated, and Le Jin's life and death were unknown, and he looked at Xiahou Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, trembling with anger, and there seemed to be ten thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
Xiahou Xuan, who had been standing below, was also shocked, seeing Cao Cao's eyes like spitting fire, worried that his anger would be unfavorable to Xiahou Yuan, and hurriedly pleaded: "Today is the time to employ people, I hope that the lord will calm his anger, spare his life, and allow him to make meritorious service with his crimes!" ”
Wen Wuduo and Xiahou Yuan were good friends, and when they saw this scene, they got up at the same time and begged: "I hope that the lord will calm his anger and allow him to make meritorious service with his crimes!" ”
In fact, Cao Cao was just shocked that Le Jin's life and death were unknown, but he didn't want to blame Xiahou Yuan.
Cao Cao is naturally protective of his shortcomings, especially his own people, the relationship between the Cao family and the Xiahou family is close and complicated, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to really punish Xiahou Yuan.
Cao Cao saw that everyone misunderstood, he was slightly stunned, but he didn't explain, and said: "As the main general, you actually caused the army to suffer such a fiasco, and even made General Lejin's life and death unknown, and the crime is to be punished. ”
When everyone heard that Cao Cao pardoned Xiahou Yuan, they all got up and returned to their seats.
Xiahou Yuan also hurriedly thanked him, and then got up and retreated to the side to rest.
At this moment, suddenly there was a burst of laughter on the side, and everyone looked at it, but it was Bian Rang, who had been standing next to him.
Bian Rang shook his head and shook his head and said: "I have long heard that General Koji can fight habitually and is invincible, and it is true that it is true when I see it today, and now he is leading the troops here, and you will die without a place to be buried!"
Poor Mrs. Cao, who was not killed by Zhang Min, but died because of the cut off of his descendants and no one to take care of him, painful, pity! ”
Cao Cao's eyes instantly erupted into fire after hearing this, and he couldn't control it anymore.
