On the 27th day of the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Dong Cheng visited Lü Bu at night again.

Gao Shun has already led his troops to Runan, from Xudu through Yuncheng, Shangcai, Ancheng, Xincai, and is about to cross the Huai River.

Yingchuan County, where Xudu is located, is already in Nanyang County, where Wancheng is located, and Runan County in the southeast, and the finished glyph stands together. These three counties depend on each other, and they are not far apart. If Gao Shun didn't lead troops, just traveled lightly, he wouldn't even need to walk for so long, and he could save a little more time.

After crossing the Huai River, the southern half of Runan County gradually penetrated into the Tongbai Mountains. The southernmost steep area near the main ridge of Tongbai Mountain is now controlled by the remnants of the thief Gong Du in Runan, and the Cao army cannot enter even if the snow covers the mountain.

Most of Gao Shun's troops are not descendants, only one or two of his own soldiers, as well as dozens of henchmen, heralds and scouts, who can be regarded as their own people. After all, he has the position of a captain, and even if he does not have military power in peacetime, he still has his own command system.

And Dong Cheng's pair of minor children, as well as Lu Bu's wife and daughter, are also wearing men's clothes and hiding in Gao Shun's personal guard group, which has been well hidden in the past few days.

Dong Cheng was originally very sure that he planned to gamble, and he didn't think about leaving this kind of backhand to prevent accidents. Moreover, Dong Cheng has no friendship with the princes of other towns, even if he wanted to keep his back hand from the beginning, he didn't know how to stay.

After all, Dong Cheng in this life has no intersection with Liu Bei at all - the ups and downs in the original history, after the Yuanmen Halberd Shooting, Liu Bei has not experienced it now, and he has never come to the Xudu Imperial Court at all, how can Dong Cheng make friends with Liu Bei?

However, at the last moment, seeing Lu Bu's old Cheng Zheng, Dong Cheng was also touched, and heard Lu Bu say that he could make a foreign aid, and if things didn't work out, he could still leave his blood, so Dong Cheng also pushed the boat down the river and separated a pair of children to Gao Shun for protection.

If things go smoothly, there is no need for an outside backhand. If it doesn't work out, there will definitely be princes from other towns who oppose Cao Cao, and then continue to carry the flag, and then they will definitely protect Dong Cheng's children, which is a good way to spread the risk.

"I don't know what the big thing that General Wei and Wen Hou are planning, what is the chance of victory, no matter, cross the Huai River tomorrow first, at least make sure that no one can intercept us, and then think about it in the long run."

At nightfall, Gao Shun took one last look at the map of the march, compared the distance from the Huai River, and decided to cross the river first.

His army, boats, ships, and vehicles were not able to be dispatched by themselves, and the logistics all relied on Cao's unified dispatch system, which was constrained everywhere. This is also the treatment that a general should have for the first time leading troops, and there is nothing to complain about.

After crossing the Huai River, it can be regarded as completely unhindered, and even if the boat is not given in the future, once there is an accident, you can run away by land.

……

At the same time, Xu Du.

Cao Cao spent a few days in Xudu at the end, plugging leaks and arranging for his future rear-related matters after Yuan Shao's conquest.

But the suspicious Cao Cao always felt unsteady, he felt that with today's ups and downs, as long as he left, someone would definitely collude with Yuan Shao.

This is not difficult to guess, because Yuan Shao is powerful, and Cao Cao has already caught a case of not contacting Yuan Shao privately. It's just that he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, for fear that his morale would become more and more depressed, so that more people would know that "it turns out that no one can pass Yuan".

Those generals who are not his confidants are suspicious no matter how you look at them. For example, Lu Bu, such as Jia Xu, such as that person.

Finally, in the evening of that day, Cao Cao summoned Xun Yu and Guo Jia for the last time to discuss again: how to ensure that Xu Du was foolproof after the war.

At the same time, Cao Cao also summoned Jia Xu, who had surrendered to him for more than a month and had not said a word.

Cao Cao secretly decided in his heart: If Jia Xu pretended to be dead like this again, he didn't come up with any ideas, and only knew how to wait and see, then he would take Jia Xu to Chen Liujun! You must not let this gloomy guy stay behind!

Jia Xu followed Zhang Xiu to vote, and the time was not long. But Zhang Xiu was easy to see through, and Cao Cao knew how to pinch him at once. In contrast, Jia Xu couldn't see through it at all, after he came, he didn't say anything, didn't ask for credit, and didn't want to be promoted.

After the three strategists were recruited, Cao Cao was not polite to them, and got straight to the point again:

"Gu summoned you to discuss today, just to discuss, what if there is a war with Yuan Shao in the future, and Xu Du's people are unstable and someone is secretly in contact with Yuan Shao? Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao, do you have any new strategic suggestions? ”

Of course, Xun Yu and Guo Jia have no new suggestions, because they have been asked several times, and if they have a strategy, they have already come up with it. So they all said the old cliché again with all sincerity.

Cao Cao didn't feel disappointed, but felt that this was normal, sighed, and finally looked at Jia Xu: "Wenhe persuaded Zhang Xiu to return to the imperial court, which is indispensable, why haven't you said a word for more than a month?" Don't offer a solution?

Now that the lonely expedition is imminent, is there still no good way to teach the lonely? Is it not familiar enough with the situation of our army? If that's the case, then you'll be familiar with it with the army. ”

Jia Xu's guy has always been wise to protect himself. He knows how serious his historical sins are, and once he instigated the crimes of Li Dao and Guo Yan, once he is caught and held on, although he will not be convicted, he will definitely not talk about the future.

So he came to Cao Ying for a month and a half, and his first priority was not to offend people and not show off.

But at this moment, he has already seen that Cao Cao is "not giving up without advice", if he doesn't say anything now, he is really taken to Chen Liujun to accompany the army, every time he has something to ask him for his opinion, if he doesn't say it, he will be hated, saying that he is arrogant, and if he says it, it is easy to offend more people.

It's better to make a plan on Xu Du's side, which can be regarded as a vote.

After clarifying this Taoist ideal, Jia Xu sighed and said euphemistically:

"How dare you not do your best for the great cause of the commonplace? It's really that when I first arrived, I was not familiar with the military situation, and I didn't dare to speak falsely, for fear of misleading a major event.

Today, Sikong attaches so much importance to inquiry, and a certain self-deprehensible planning - I don't know if Sikong still remembers: Zhang Xiu was defeated by chasing the retreating soldiers with elite soldiers, and winning by chasing the victorious soldiers with defeated soldiers......"

Jia Xu said very vaguely, after all, the battle of Wancheng three years ago was Cao Cao's shame.

But the battle examples in Jia Xu's context are well known to both parties: that time, when Cao Cao retreated, Zhang Xiu wanted to pursue, but Jia Xu persuaded him not to chase, saying that he would definitely lose if he chased. Zhang Xiu didn't listen, chased after him, and finally lost. Then Jia Xu asked him to hurry up and continue to chase, this time he will definitely win, Zhang Xiu finally accepted it this time, executed it, and really won.

After coming back, Zhang Xiu admired Jia Xu so much that he threw himself on the ground and asked him: "Xiu chased the retreating army with elite soldiers, and the public said that he would be defeated; Retreat to defeat the defeated soldiers, and the public will be killed. If it is said publicly, how can it be true? ”

Jia Xu's answer at the time was: "This is easy to know." Although the general is good at using soldiers, he is not Cao's enemy. Although the army is newly retreated, Cao Gong will cut himself off; Although the pursuers are fine, they will be defeated and sharp, so they know that they will be defeated. Cao Gong attacked the general without misstepping, and retreated before his strength was exhausted, and there must be a reason in the country; If the general has been broken, the light army will advance quickly, and after the generals are broken, although the generals are brave, they are not the enemy of the generals, so although they use the defeated army to fight, they will win. ”

Jia Xu knew that this battle was Cao Cao's sore foot, but he still had to mention it, obviously because the strategy he wanted to come up with today was very similar to the strategy in the battle of Wancheng three years ago.

He wanted to give credit to Cao Cao and let Cao Cao figure it out for himself.

With Cao Cao's wisdom, as long as someone clicks on him, of course, he can react immediately, and he doesn't have to finish his words.

After Cao Cao's initial instinctive irritation, he quickly calmed down and said, "Lonely and enlightened!" 'Although the army is new, it will cut itself off', isn't this the usual strategy of Lonely! Originally, I planned to leave the city in a few days, so I would be out of the city tomorrow!

Tomorrow, let people spread the news, saying that Chen Liu's urgent report, I was shocked to hear that Yuan Shaobu suddenly crossed the river, and I will go north immediately! After leaving the city, he set up camp in just one day, and then waited for the opportunity to wait and see what happened, and if he had changed, he would kill him and return to the carbine! Seduce those unstable! ”

When he fought Zhang Xiu by himself, he also knew that he would leave a back hand to seduce Zhang Xiu, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance until Zhang Xiu's first wave of pursuit was defeated by himself.

Today, let's do it again! Show weakness first to seduce a wave! Trick those who have different intentions!

……

Facts have proved that Dong Cheng and Lu Bu are both courageous, but they have no plan.

They think well, but they don't have a top wise man to help them polish a concrete plan of action, and there is no top wise man to help them avoid pitfalls.

Cao Cao made a false move, and Dong Cheng and Lu Bu directly handed over all the big moves.

The day after Cao Cao pretended to leave, Dong Cheng was impatient and decided to do it.

"God help me! The general didn't wait for the righteous name, and crossed the Yellow River directly! Immediately gather the six families, and guard the general's mansion and the right general's mansion to guard, kill into the palace, kill the palace guard of the Cao thief, lead the king, and beg the thief under the edict of the Son of Heaven! ”

That night, Dong Cheng gathered hundreds of guards in his own house, as well as hundreds of guards controlled by Lu Bu, and more than 1,000 servants of the armed family of the six families, a total of 23,400 people, and launched an attack on the Xudu Palace.

He also tried his best to let his connections drag Wang Bi and find a way to send a woman to a banquet, anyway, all the delaying tricks he could use were used.

Wang Bi didn't know Cao Cao's overall plan, Cao Cao just took care of him: you must be careful these days. But since ancient times, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, and it is impossible for Wang Bi to be nervous all the time.

In the end, after nightfall on the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Dong Cheng and Lu Bu frantically attacked Wang Bi, but they also temporarily took the lead, sneak attacked and captured two palace gates, and once entered the palace, and launched a fierce battle with Wang Bi's guards.

Cao Cao's other troops left in the city, after learning of the accident in the palace, also hurried back to defense, and the two sides fought in the dark.

And Cao Cao, who had already gone out of the city to the north the morning before, should have been quite far away from Xu Du at this time.

Who knew that Cao Cao learned from Zhao Kuangyin and regarded Yuan Shao as a Khitan soldier. After his troops marched to Linwei Pavilion, sixty miles northeast of Xudu, the day before, they actually quietly did not move forward, and the next night, they even turned back at night.

This is to use Linwei Pavilion as a Chen Qiao Station.

Dong Cheng and Lu Bu fought in the middle of the night, although they once controlled the palace. But before dawn, Cao Cao's main force came back!

The army directly entered the palace to quell the rebellion, Dong Cheng and Lu Bu had few people, and soon they could not resist.

At the critical juncture, their only reliance was Emperor Liu Xie himself.

"Your Majesty, the ministers swear to kill and escort the breakthrough to the siege!" Dong Cheng and Lu Bu anxiously asked for instructions.

It's a pity that at the critical moment, Liu Xie didn't dare a little, for fear of running away and being intercepted and killed by the rebels.

At this time, Cao Jun, who was besieging the palace, began to shout, and sent someone to spread the word: "The national thieves Dong Cheng and Lu Bu quickly release Your Majesty!" Those who dare to rob the driver will destroy the three tribes! The generals listened to the order, and when the thief escaped with His Majesty as a hostage, he was not allowed to release arrows! Don't hurt Your Majesty! Your Majesty was held hostage by thieves! Nothing is meant to be said! ”

These heart-attacking words came, which made Liu Xie completely coaxed. After all, in history, he silently watched Cao Cao kill Dong Cheng and Dong Guiren, Cao Cao asked him if these were Dong Cheng's edicts, and he didn't dare to say a word, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Now it's nothing more than one more Lu Bu, Liu Xie and Lu Bu can't talk about any friendship, nothing can be done at the moment, anyway, Dong Cheng and Lu Bu are bound to die, why bother to catch up with yourself?

And Dong Cheng and Lu Bu saw that Liu Xie was cowardly and did not dare to break through, and their hearts were also half cold, knowing that the emperor was judging that this matter would be defeated, and they wanted to break their arms to survive.

"No matter what, no matter what, as a minister, how can you be trapped in life and death danger, you all stay away from Your Majesty, Cao Thief does not dare to release arrows at Your Majesty, we will rush and kill ourselves!"

Dong Cheng also knew that he and Lu Bu had to die, and it was pointless to take a Liu Xie for more than nothing, and he didn't bother to pull a cushion, so why bother.

After Dong Cheng and Lu Bu gave up pulling the emperor together, Cao Jun, who had gathered more and more, had no scruples at all, and suddenly arrows rained down, and Dong Cheng and Lu Bu were both shot down in the chaos of arrows.

Lu Bu had fought in the middle of the night, although he had also killed more than a dozen enemies, and had shot dozens of people with arrows on the palace wall, but in the end he could not avoid being shot into a hedgehog.

"Lu Bu, is this guy finally dead?" Cao Cao cautiously looked at the hundreds of steps, he was also a little afraid of Lu Bu's divine shot, so he was very careful.

"It's definitely dead, they're all shot like hedgehogs, and Lu Bu entered the palace tonight to sneak attack, and he didn't dare to call the door in iron armor." Cao Chun, who was beside Cao Cao, said firmly that he was riding back with a tiger and leopard tonight to quell the rebellion.

Cao Cao made this game and specially used the tiger and leopard ride, in order to be fast enough to return to the defense.

After listening to Cao Chun's statement, Cao Cao still didn't dare to believe it, and ordered: "Let people go up and stab with spears, and make up for a few more spears!" ”

Cao Chun didn't care, he personally rode a gun, and led a team of guards to go up to replenish the gun and stab the head.

However, just when Cao Chun was about to stab Lu Bu, Lu Bu, who had already fallen to the ground, suddenly burst out, copied the halberd that was thrown on the ground, and fought Cao Chun to the death with his life.

"Poof! Poof! With the sound of the sharp blade stabbing into the flesh, Cao Chun couldn't help but howl miserably, and was slanted through his chest and shoulders by Lu Bu's halberd, and came out through his back.

"Only to kill such an unknown general, uh-" Lu Bu was also stabbed through by Cao Chun's blades and the fierce charging of the cavalry spears of several tigers and leopards, this time he was really too dead to die anymore, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the results of his replacement when he died.

"What's going on? It's all shot like this, and you haven't worn iron armor yet, how can you still be alive! Check it out for Lonely! Cao Cao was shocked and angry when he saw this change, Lu Bu actually replaced one of his cousins when he was dying!

Everyone was afraid that Lu Bu would not die, and stabbed dozens of transparent holes in the back with a spear against the corpse from the front chest through the back, so they dared to step forward to verify the situation, and after a while, someone finally explained Cao Cao's confusion:

"Nothing! On the corpses of Dong Cheng and Lu Bu, it was found that there was a wire thin ring soft armor that had never been seen before! When this armor is shot by an arrow, the arrow can penetrate the iron ring for several minutes, and it may also open the wire ring, but it does not penetrate the flesh! Lu Bu was covered by dozens of arrow sores on his body, all of which were slightly injured by a few points of flesh, so that he could set up an ambush!

At present, it has only been found that Dong Cheng and Lu Bu are wearing such armor, and the other anti-thieves do not have such treasure armor! It should be extremely rare, I don't know where Dong Cheng found it! ”

After Cao Cao heard about it, his anger still did not subside, but he knew that now was not the time to be angry and sad, and these suspicions could only be investigated later.

Cao Cao immediately took a piece of cloth, wiped the blood stains on his sword, and then took the unsheathed sword, came to Liu Xie step by step, looked up and down a few times, and then asked in a cold tone:

"Your Majesty, Dong Cheng and Lu Bu have rebelled and have been ambushed. It's too late for the ministers to escort the rebellion, please forgive your majesty! Please send down the family of the anti-thief! ”

"This ...... Yes, Dong Cheng and Lu Bu are indeed overbearing and rebellious...... I was frightened for a while, and I didn't know what to do, so I asked Cao Gong to rule on his own......" Liu Xie broke out in a cold sweat, and he could only follow Cao Cao's words.

……

In a fierce battle overnight, Dong Cheng and Lu Bu had nearly 1,000 personal soldiers and 1,500,600 family members, totaling 2,040, all of whom were killed and wounded, and even if some were captured, they were all beheaded in the end.

Cao Jun suffered more than 1,000 casualties, of which only four or five hundred were killed in battle, and the rest were slightly or seriously wounded.

Combined, more than four thousand people were killed and wounded. Moreover, because of the chaotic fighting in the palace and adjacent neighborhoods, the people of Xudu were killed, injured, displaced, and accidentally injured, with a total of nearly 10,000.

Cao Jun killed two more well-known civil and military officers in battle than in the original history, including Wang Bi, who was responsible for guarding the palace, and Cao Chun, who led the cavalry to charge and kill.

On Dong Cheng's side, there was one more Lu Bu killed than in the same period in history, and there was no difference in others, of course, they also died more valuable, after all, more than 1,000 people were killed and injured to the elite of the Cao army.

But the party that begged for the thief was not completely taken advantage of - after all, Liu Bei in this life was not qualified to sign the edict on the edict, and he could only posthumously recognize the edict of Yaofeng afterwards.

Moreover, no one who has seen the actual object of the edict can be used as a witness, and Cao Cao's side wants to cover up the truth of the edict, and the maneuverable space will be slightly larger than that of the same period in history.

In this one entry and one exit, Cao Cao lost militarily than the same period in history, but politically he made a small profit. Moreover, Lu Bu's original reputation was too bad, and it can be said that he was different from Liu Bei, and the appeal of his co-signed letter was definitely not as good as that of Liu Bei's.

Anyway, Cao Cao made up his mind that night, saying that Dong Cheng and Lu Bu were overthrowing rebellions, and it only depended on which side the princes of the world were willing to believe.
