Chapter 504: Hongmen Banquet

Cao Hong led the troops into the territory of the Lujiang River, passed through Jiashi, and the guard Wang Ji greeted him, and he wanted to agree on a contact code.

Cao Hong disdains it, he is going to take over Lujiang and capture it, there is no need to do more, even if the Sun Yu brothers have any conspiracy, there is no general in Lujiang, and the soldiers are coming to the city, who can stop it?

Since the crusade against Dong Zhuo and the army, Cao Hong has been through a hundred battles, and he is a dignified general of the Wei State, but he has not yet entered the country, but he discussed with a partial general about retreating, and the spread is not laughed at by the people of the world?

When the soldiers arrived in the territory of the Lujiang River, Cao Hong was still vigilant at the beginning, and there were detectives along the way to continuously transmit information, but in the past few days, they passed through the counties, and they were all warmly received, and reported that the Sun Yu brothers were guarding the spirit in Anhui City, and the political affairs had already been handed over to the subordinate officials, so they gradually became arrogant.

Unconsciously have arrived in the territory of Anhui County, people and horses have crossed Tianzhu Mountain, only to see the scenery here is beautiful mountains and clear waters, backed by the hidden mountain, facing the big river in front, although it is the time of midwinter, but the smoke is ethereal, like a fairyland.

Cao Hong muttered on the horse: "Anhui County is really outstanding, Er Qiao called the prime minister to never forget, one side of the water and soil to raise one person, there must be a beautiful woman here......"

Between the wandering thoughts, the dust on the official road in front of him was flying, and a team of people and horses came to the front, and the first messenger hugged his fists and said: "The governor of Anhui County is specially here to greet General Cao on the order of General Sun." ”

Cao Hongzheng was intoxicated, and was a little dissatisfied when he was interrupted, and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you see Sun Yu coming?" ”

The lieutenant replied: "General Sun is guarding the spirit in the hall, and it is inconvenient to travel far, so he is waiting under the city. ”

"Lead the way!" Cao Hong pointed his horsewhip, restrained his mind and glanced at the tigers and leopards on the left and right, and captured Sun Yu first under the city.

After a while, I came to the north gate of Anhui City, and sure enough, I saw a general leading officials of all sizes who were waiting, and that person was wearing hemp filial piety, holding a seal letter, presumably it was Sun Yu, the Taishou of Lujiang.

Cao Hong stepped forward and said loudly: "Sun Taishou abandons the secret and surrenders to the light, it is the country's loyalty, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has already played the Son of Heaven, and the general is the Marquis of Qiantang and the assassin of Yangzhou, so he will come and receive the order." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Sun Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to deliver the letter.

The entourage first took the Lujiang seal letter, and then took out the silk seal, Sun Yu was about to take it with both hands, but two soldiers poured out behind him, and Sun Yu was arrested without saying anything.

Before the officials at the city gate could react, the tiger and leopard rode out and occupied the city gate with lightning speed, and watched all those officials, so frightened that everyone was like dirt and knelt on the ground.

Sun Yu struggled and shouted, "General Cao, what do you mean by this? ”

Cao Hong smiled coldly: "Brother Ru has bad intentions and wants to murder the general, which is called the first strike." ”

Sun Yu shouted: "My brother is sincerely obedient, and General Cao can't wish for a good person." ”

Cao Hong snorted coldly: "If you are sincere, why don't you see Sun Jiao coming to greet you?" I expect that there will be an ambush in the city. ”

Sun Yu said angrily: "The third brother is guarding the spirit in the back hall, and it is inconvenient to go out, please check the general!" ”

"How can you hide such a small skill from the general?" Cao Xiuchuan made people enter the city immediately, and sneered: "If there is an ambush, you will know when you enter the city." ”

When the front team guarded the city gate, they ordered Sun Yu and the officials to be escorted into the city, and Sun Yu scolded all the way, and the officials trembled and shouted that they were wronged.

When I came to the palace, I saw that the servants were waiting nervously, and the banquet had been set up in the hall, and there were no swords and soldiers ambushing along the way.

Cao Hong's face sank like water, and he ordered someone to escort Sun Yu straight to the back hall, and when he came to the side courtyard, he saw several Taoist priests chanting, and one knelt in front of the spirit card to burn incense and paper.

Hearing the noise and Sun Yu's scolding, the man turned his head and said in astonishment: "Second brother? It's ......"

Cao Hong accepted the sword and stepped forward to ask, "Your Excellency is Sun Jiao?" ”

The man's face was slightly gloomy, and he got up and said angrily: "The Venerable Driver must be General Cao Hong?" My two brothers sincerely dedicate the city, why should they take revenge? ”

Cao Hong saw that Sun Jiao was really guarding the spirit, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, complaining that Cao Cao had done too much, so that he wanted to make amends here.

Ordered someone to let go of Sun Yu, gave a deep salute to the two, and said: "In the next deep battle, I have just arrived, and I have to guard against it, and I hope you two will forgive me for the offense." ”

Sun Yu laughed angrily: "I have heard for a long time that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has the amount of tolerance for people, first accept Zhang Xiu, and then accept Zhang He, all of them are reused, and the two of us are willing to sacrifice the city, but I didn't expect it to end up like this, if you want to kill, you will kill, why bother to behave?" ”

Cao Hong smiled dryly: "This is not the prime minister's original intention, he is reckless and misunderstood the two generals, and I am here to apologize to the two." ”

Sun Jiao said in disbelief: "The prime minister really treats the two of us with sincerity? ”

"It's true, Ben will be willing to use the head guarantee!" Cao Hong swore an oath, saw Sun Yu's face on the side, and said: "Where I was offended, I also ask General Haihan, who is willing to apologize for Ling Zun's incense, what does the general think?" ”

Sun Yu's expression eased slightly, and he sighed lightly: "Since the general has no intention of harming him, a misunderstanding is nothing. ”

Cao Hong gritted his teeth and offered incense to Sun Jing, and said: "I just entered the mansion, I see that a banquet has been arranged, and the two generals are invited to the front of the hall, and a certain person apologizes to General Sun in front of all officials." ”

Sun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My father is newly dead, his bones are not cold, and he has to drink for fun for the son of a man?" The general's sincerity is in his heart, and the banquet in the house is set up by the officials to welcome the generals. ”

Cao Hong looked sneered and said with a dry smile: "The two are really loyal and filial people. ”

Sun Yu clenched his fists and said: "Please arrange the affairs in the city as soon as possible, and the two of us will rush back to our hometown tomorrow to mourn." ”

Cao Hong has been commanding since he was a child, and he is even more arrogant with Cao Cao, how can he have whispered to others like this, he didn't want to stay here for a long time, and left the backyard in a hurry with a polite sentence, already covered in cold sweat.

Ordered his entourage to secretly monitor the backyard, as long as Sun Yu and the others obediently guarded their spirits, the city would be safe, and they hurried to the lobby and invited those officials in.

Cao Hong motioned for everyone to sit down, raised his glass and said with a smile: "I just entered the city, it is to test Sun Tai's will, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

The officials breathed a sigh of relief, and toasted Cao Hong one after another to show their loyalty, and after a while, the atmosphere in the hall became lively, and everyone pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and made friends with each other.

After drinking until the evening, Cao Hong's eyes were blurred, and he couldn't sit still, so he held up the table and asked the county next to him: "Is there a beautiful woman in this city?" ”

Jun Cheng comprehended, and whispered in his ear: "There are many beautiful women in Anhui County, and they have already been selected for the general in the back hall, and the quilt must have been warm at this time." ”

"Oh? Hahaha-" Cao Hong's eyes lit up, patted Jun Cheng's shoulder and smiled: "Those who know me, Ming Gongye, Lujiang is too guarded by you." ”

Jun Cheng was overjoyed, helped Cao Hong to get up, walked to the back hall, and said: "Zhang Fei's people are in Qichun, and when they hear the news, they will definitely come to Xingshi, and the soldiers are running around day after day, so they should be allowed to rest and recuperate, so that they can fight the enemy." ”

"Hmph, if Zhang Fei comes, he will be caught!" Cao Hong waved his hands and laughed, and then ordered the battalions to hold a banquet to celebrate the achievement.

Unconsciously came to the door of the room, a warm breeze blew in his face, and the smell of fat powder made Cao Hong's blood surge, and he pushed away Juncheng and rushed in: "Beauty, I'm here!" ”
