Chapter Twenty-Six: The Calm Before the Storm
Lu Bu chased desperately, but because he was not riding a red rabbit horse, the speed was far less fast than the sweaty BMW ridden by Cao Cao and Wang Yue, so he chased farther and farther, and after chasing for a day and a night without finding a shadow, he returned to Luoyang City with a sense of anger.
As for Li Xing, he didn't take the official road at all, let alone a shadow.
Compared with the war horse, the disadvantage of the tiger mount is that the endurance is not good, but the advantage is that there is no need to take the official road, and you can directly take a shortcut and walk in a straight line.
Here, I have to mention that many people in modern times think that tigers can't climb trees or swim.
This is wrong.
There are few cats that can't climb trees, and tigers can not only climb, but also chase leopards up trees. At the same time, he is also very good at swimming, and cats can carry Li Xing across the river!
Just as it is said in the essay that bears don't eat dead people, bears, as scavengers, even eat stinky meat, will they not eat dead people?
It's just a joke.
Because of this, Lu Bu, who didn't react, chased all the way along the official road and pounced.
"Lu Bu's strength is really terrifying, find a place to live for a while, and then compete with him after he develops." After escaping LΓΌ Bu's pursuit, Li Xing searched for his direction and rushed towards Cao Cao's hometown.
This is to continue to go to Cao Cao's house to eat and drink.
After committing such a big thing, the capital and the counties that are still under the control of the Han Court can't go.
Otherwise, maybe one day when he wakes up, there will be a Lu Bu standing in front of the door, plus hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops.
But in other places, it is impossible to find Liu Bei, and now Liu Guanzhang has no place to go, so he is probably sending people under the fence and eating and drinking at Gongsun Zhan.
Neither can Sun Quan.
He is still a child, and he is not familiar with them, unless he takes refuge in the past, what else will people take him in?
As for the other princes, Li Xing didn't know their personalities, and he didn't know if the other party would take his head and give it to Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, after several thoughts, although he did not have the intention of helping Cao Cao fight the world, Li Xing still went to Cao Cao. After all, until the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was still quite stable during this period.
Cao Cao's personality can also be relieved for the time being.
"I don't know, what's going on out there?" Thinking in his heart, Li Xing casually entered a small town without city walls.
There are guards guarding the entrance to the town, and there are three "wanted notices" drawn.
Wanted Li Xing, Cao Cao, Wang Yue three, anyone who finds their traces, will be rewarded with a hundred taels, if you can timely report and cooperate with the government to catch it, no matter who is caught, will be rewarded with a thousand gold, sealed ten thousand households.
All three of them were caught, rewarded with 10,000 catties, and the whole family was knighted.
The bounty is really big.
However, when Li Xing appeared in a grand manner, the soldiers defending the city did not move at all.
Strange in his heart, he pretended to go far away, and came around to the back of the group of soldiers to eavesdrop, only to see them talking to each other: "Did someone just pass?" β
"No, I don't see it."
"I didn't see it either."
"No one."
Let Li Xing: "......"
All right!
If it was Cao Cao who saw it, these soldiers would definitely arrest people, and they wouldn't be intimidated when they saw Wang Yue, but they didn't dare to provoke them when they rode a tiger themselves - Li Xing is now famous, and he became famous all over the world overnight!
Everyone knows that as a "hussar lieutenant general", he, together with Cao Cao and Wang Yue, planned an assassination.
Cao Cao fed the red rabbit horse with croton, Wang Yue helped Li Xing enter the palace, and Li Xing gave Dong Zhuo a shot in front of Lu Bu, although he did not kill him, but stabbed the root of his life, making him a eunuch.
It can be described as an uproar in the world.
No one expected that Dong Zhuo, who was arrogant before, would be castrated like this.
Many people say that it is the backlash of the luck of the Han family.
It was he who plagued the court and was punished.
However, compared to Cao Cao and Wang Yue, who were only part of Dong Zhuo's assassination, Li Xingna first assassinated in front of Lu Bu, and then when he pursued, he also caused the red rabbit horse to break his leg.
Later, Lu Bu pursued alone and fought with him, but was eaten by the tiger mount and the war horse he found temporarily.
No one knows the outcome of that battle.
People only know that the "Tiger God General" Li Shanshui entered Beijing alone, and after giving Dong Zhuo a long spear, he left in a dashing manner, and even Lu Bu was beaten up when he chased him!
Yes, people don't know the truth and think that Lu Bu lost.
Even if you don't lose, you still suffer a big loss.
Therefore, the name of "Tiger God General" was spread all over the world by the flying pigeon overnight.
The world was shocked.
As a result, although all places posted documents that wanted him, they all hoped that he would not come, and even some timid magistrates secretly tampered with Li Xing's portrait.
Why?
Because I'm afraid!
can run to the palace to castrate Dong Zhuo, the chief official of the local town, isn't it killing if you want to?
No one wants to provoke him.
So in this way, Cao Cao and Wang Yue hid in Tibet, while Li Xing was in a dashing hurry, like a tour, while enjoying the scenery of this era, while practicing and improving his own strength.
Maybe it was fate, or maybe the world had its own corrective power, even if the assassination of Dong completely changed, Cao Cao still met Chen Gong, who still abandoned his family and followed him.
The difference is only that there is an extra Wang Yue by his side.
When Li Xing chased all the way and finally caught up with Cao Cao on the way to Lu Bohao's house, the three of them were standing on a cliff to pee, and Cao Cao was boasting while sprinkling: "Gongtai, do you know who first discovered Dong Zhuo's ambitions?" β
Chen Gong shook his head.
"It's me Cao Cao." Cao Cao said, glanced at Wang Yue, and said, "You can ask him." β
"That's right." Wang Yue nodded and said, "Before Dong Zhuo stayed in the palace overnight, Cao Mengde once revealed the news to me, but unfortunately, none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dared to stop it, it was really ......."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The decline of the Han family is really not just because of one Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Cao Cao bragged: "Do you know, who was the first to oppose Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing?" β
"Who?"
"It's still me Cao Cao!"
This scene is exactly the same as in the original book.
Li Xing, who happened to arrive, couldn't help but smile and said, "Meng De, you are fooling people here again!" β
Cao Cao: "......"
What's the matter, why is Li Xing, the only one who knows his details, come over at this time?
It's embarrassing.
At the beginning, he still thought Dong Zhuo was a hero!
However, he was still more happy than embarrassed, and when he put on his pants, he was about to take Li Xing's hand and introduce him to Chen Gong, but Li Xing dodged him with a disgusted face, and complained: "Go go, you just peed your hands!" β
Cao Cao: "??? β
But the more he did that, the more he laughed.
This is the kind of real friend.
As for Yuan Shao and his ilk, they are just superficial brothers!
"Is this one?" Chen Gong said with an expression as if he had seen an idol.
"Li Xing, Li Shanshui."
"Tiger Divine General?"
Li Xing: "......"
I always feel that this name is not very good.
β¦β¦
In the later journey, there were no more twists and turns, and Cao Cao, who was walking with Li Xing and Wang Yue, two super-first-class masters, was no longer a frightened bird at all, and with Li Xing, he obviously would not kill Lu Bohao's family by mistake.
I just had a good meal of pork there and set off.
During this period, "Gonggong Dong" was naturally furious and wanted to send troops to attack Cao Cao, but was persuaded by Li Ru.
It was not easy to occupy the capital, how could it be possible to leave?
However, on the lips, Li Ru used the "Red Rabbit Horse" as an excuse: "Although the thief Li Xing is hateful, but now the Red Rabbit Horse has broken its leg bone, and it will take about 100 days to recover, we might as well wait for it to heal and then send a large army to encircle and suppress." Otherwise, it would be easy to kill Cao Cao, but without the Red Rabbit Horse, who could leave Li Xing's thief? β
As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu, who was already sullen, immediately turned red.
But he calmed down and said, "Please think twice!" β
Although Li Xing is very "shameless", I have to say that his strength is indeed extremely strong, and he is already a "super first-class" in the world.
"That thief!" Dong Zhuo roared.
However, I still took a break from thinking about going on the expedition for the time being.
β¦β¦
Li Xing's four people worked hard all the way, and soon came to Cao Cao's hometown of Qiao County and began to recruit troops.
During this period of time, the princes were quiet, and there was no movement in the capital, as if the world was peaceful, but the price of grain was rising rapidly.
The princes of all walks of life were secretly recruiting troops.
And Dong Zhuo, although he did not directly send troops to kill Cao Cao, he was also rectifying the army.
However, Cao Cao was not idle, recruiting troops and buying horses, and at the same time sending people to wander among the princes, discussing the matter of "leading the army into the king of Jingqin" one by one.
But Li Xing doesn't care about these things.
Although it was only the tranquility before the storm, after all, it was also tranquility, he leisurely went to bed and ate on time every day, insisted on morning exercises every morning, and practiced marksmanship every day.
Accumulate assignable attribute points.
"Brother Shanshui, I remember that when we talked before, you seemed to have talked about the art of war, you should know how to use soldiers, right? Hehe, can you help me train the soldiers? β
Cao Cao walked in with a roast chicken in his left hand and two bottles of wine in his right hand.
