Chapter 62: Cao Cao cheated to death
Seeing that Cao Cao had been lost, Dian Wei scolded and led all his cronies to turn around and kill back, but when he saw Li Dian breaking through, he hurriedly cut into the encirclement, greeted him and said, "Have you ever seen the lord?" ”
How can this Li Dian have the kung fu to manage Cao Cao, when he forcibly pulled Le Jin towards the outside of the city to kill, he turned around but disappeared Le Jin, it turned out that Le Jin took advantage of Li Dian's inattention and ran to find Cao Cao. Li Dian's mood at this time was not much different from Dian Wei, and he hurriedly said: "I haven't found it either." ”
Dian Wei heard this: "Then I'll go in and find it." ”
Li Dian nodded and said, "Okay!" Let's split up! ”
At this time, Li Dian turned around and went back with two guns to find Le Jin, but he didn't know that Le Jin was found by this Dian Wei, and Le Jin saw Dian Wei and asked, "Where is the lord?" ”
Dian Wei said angrily: "I have been back and forth twice, but I have never found the lord." ”
Le Jin was in a hurry when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go in with you to find the lord!" ”
At that moment, the two of them killed in the city again, and killed until they reached the door, only to hear the sound of the city's artillery, a roar.
Le Jin was about to cross the horse and enter, but was pulled by Li Dian and did not let Le Jin enter alive or dead, this is too dangerous, Dian Wei has an upright personality and the savior is eager but he didn't see this detail, so he rushed in with smoke and searched everywhere.
But he said that Cao Cao saw that Dian Wei was killed, and he wanted to follow wherever he wanted, but in a blink of an eye, he was surrounded by Lu Jun, and when he looked up, where was Dian Wei's shadow, only to see smoke billowing on all sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
At the moment, Cao Cao couldn't get out of the south gate, and turned into the north gate, just about to escape, but saw Lu Bu riding a red rabbit horse Qingfang Tianhua halberd running far away, seeing Lu Bu majestic, Cao Cao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he didn't dare to say anything at the moment, he lowered his head and turned around and left.
That Lu Bu's eyes were sharp, and he saw this little soldier from a distance, and when he saw that this little soldier was sneaky, he followed with a horse, and a halberd pressed on Cao Cao's helmet, Cao Cao's heart tightened, how could he dare to move?
Lu Bu didn't recognize this Cao Cao, and asked, "Where is Cao Cao?" ”
Cao Cao's heart was about to jump out, as long as Lu Bu used a little force, he was shot to death like an ant, and pointed casually: "The one riding the yellow horse in front of him!" ”
Lu Bu looked from a distance along with Cao Cao's point, and saw a general riding a yellow horse running forward, shouting: "What a Cao thief, want to run?" ”
At that moment, he abandoned Cao Cao's flying horse and rushed forward, chasing the general on the yellow horse. Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu was gone, wiped his sweat, and ran in the opposite direction.
When he walked to the city gate, he saw Dian Wei rushing in with fire, covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's, Cao Cao hurriedly greeted Dian Wei: "Dian Wei!" ”
Dian Wei heard the shout, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Cao Cao carrying a big iron halberd and rushed over: "The general is frightened!" ”
After saying that, he escorted Cao Cao and rushed out of the city. As he walked to the edge of the city, he suddenly saw a thunderbolt falling from the sky, hitting a beam of fire on the city gate, and the beam of fire smashed down, and Cao Cao reacted quickly, flashing forward, and it was only a distance away from the beam of fire.
Even so, Cao Cao's horse was knocked down by the fire beam, and the beam happened to roll over, but fortunately Cao Cao was held by both hands, and the fire on it also burned Cao Cao to a great extent, slightly hurting his vitality.
Dian Wei rushed from behind, and with a lift of the iron halberd, the horizontal pillar was lifted several feet away.
At this time, Xiahou Yuanbu got the news and led the army to come, so he saved Cao Cao, and met Lu Bu's pursuers, and fought until dawn, and then returned to the camp.
After Cao Cao returned to the barracks, he was discouraged, his hands were burned by the fire, he was wearing an ordinary military uniform, and his appearance was really miserable, but Cao Cao did not feel frustrated, and when he saw Guo Jia, Liu Ye and others, he was not angry but laughed: "I fell into the cunning of the puppet by mistake, haha, I will repay this revenge!" ”
On the side, Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao was defeated but not angry, and he was quite handsome, he was very pleased, and took a step forward when he heard the words: "This is the time." ”
Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, it was rainy today, but the image was hidden, and it was difficult to calculate the reality of the Chen Palace.
So Cao Cao said: "Today, it is only rumored that I was injured by the enemy's arrows, and I was burned by the fire, and the wound was infected, and I have died. ”
So the Manchu army mourned, and lied that Cao Cao was dead.
Lu Bu didn't know Cao Cao's movements, heard the military report that Cao Ying's camp was full of generals hanging filial piety belts, Bu Lingtang, couldn't help but be overjoyed, although Chen Gong had doubts, but as Cao Cao expected, when it was impossible to see the truth and falsehood, and could not detect the truth and reality, at this time the sky was hazy, the sky was unpredictable, and he knew that Cao Cao had a difficulty recently, so he heard that Cao Cao was dead, and there was no doubt that Lu Bu was busy sending troops to rob the village, but he was besieged by Cao's army in Maling Road, and Lu Bu fought to the death, and broke a lot of people and horses, and retreated to Puyang.
The two armies won countless battles, although they were quite damaged, but they did not hurt their vitality, and it happened that there was a locust plague this year, and the two armies had the right to withdraw their troops, and each led troops back to the city for the time being.
But said that Tao Qian of Xuzhou, but this year he was seriously ill, sick in bed, and saw that there was more qi and less intake, so he summoned Mi Zhu and said: "I am seriously ill today, I expect this matter to be done, my heart is over, this matter will be Mr. Lai, Liu Bei, the dragon and phoenix among the people, will be extraordinary in the future." I also know your character, if you go back now, your heart is different, so stay by Liu Bei's side for the time being. ”
Mi Zhu knew what Tao Qian meant, and hurriedly said: "Listen to your lord's orders." ”
Tao Qian then sent someone to Xiaopei to invite Liu Bei, Liu Bei led the pass, Zhang Shu rode to, to enter Xuzhou, Mi Zhu introduced Liu Bei into the back hall, Tao Qian lay in the bed, very haggard, seeing that Liu Bei was coming, he strongly supported his body to sit up, Liu Bei hurriedly took two steps forward to support Tao Qian, and said with tears in his eyes: "Tao Gong is resting, don't get up." “
Tao Qian waved his hand, Liu Bei had to put the pillow up, let it lean on his pillow, like serving the old father, Tao Qian smiled: "Today, please Xuande Gong, not for anything else, just because the old man is critically ill, the day is not safe, the old man is old, only one wish is to ensure that this Xuzhou is safe, and it is worthy of the Han family, and I hope that Xuande will receive this seal and lead Xuzhou." ”
Hearing this, Xuande shook his head again and again and said, "The public has two sons, why not pass it on to the two sons?" ”
Tao Qian shook his head and said: "Neither of my two sons have this talent, I think Xuande has always had a great wish, and he will have a bright future in the future, but the old man still has a grand wish, and I ask Xuande to help me." ”
Tao Qian held Liu Bei's hand tightly at this time, Liu Bei knew that the stakes were very high, which could be an important reason for Tao Qian to let Xuzhou, and he hurriedly said: "Tao Gong, please say, as long as Liu Bei can do his best, he will die!" ”
But I heard Tao Qian's eyes solemnly said: "I have lived in Xuzhou for a long time, Tao has nothing else to ask for, only this ambition is always remembered, and I hope that Xuande can inherit my will in the future." ”
Liu Bei heard this, but he didn't immediately accept it, pondered for a moment, this Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei like that, Liu Bei could see the expectation in Tao Qian's eyes, a person can trust himself so much, what more can a husband ask for?
He pondered for a moment and said, "Tao Gong values Liu Bei so much, Liu Bei is grateful. After a pause, he continued: "It's just how I can take on this great responsibility alone. ”
Tao Qian was much relieved when he heard this, exhaled a long breath, and then said slowly: "I recommend a person, who can be a public assistant, this person is Beihai Sun Qian, the day of Huaxia Daxing is just around the corner, I hope that Xuande Gong will serve the people of the world and serve Xuzhou, and I have no regrets when I die." ”
Liu Bei wanted to continue, but Tao Qian didn't say anything more, and left with a smile on his fingers.
