The night is getting darker, the moon is in the sky, and it is extremely bright. Such a poetic and picturesque time should be the time when the moon is full of drinks, beautiful women add to the fun, and poetry is full of love.
However, Xiapi, once a prosperous place in Xuzhou, is still in the midst of a bloody storm.
There are flames everywhere in the city, and the sound of fighting is everywhere in the city.
Lu Bu was sitting next to Liu Mang. Liu Mang could rest, but he couldn't rest. The fire in the city, the fighting, every scream and every light of fire represented that those hard-boned men under Lu Bu's men had died. Sleep in this ancient city forever.
"When will it be!?" Liu Mang woke up suddenly. He was very tired. He had been busy all day, came to this world and fought all day. He was so tired that he didn't want to move, but he had to move, he didn't want to die! He still wants to die,
"It's time already!" Lu Bu said calmly.
"Xu time?!" In ancient times, the time was allocated according to the twelve o'clock of the celestial stems and earthly branches. This Xu time is from 7:00 to 9:00 in the evening. Liu Mang remembered that the sky was not dark when he was resting, so it was around five o'clock at that time, and now it is seven o'clock. Too much, rested for more than an hour and awarded nearly two hours!
"It's time for us to act!" The sky had already darkened, and even with the lighting of the fire in Xiapi City, it was still difficult for people to distinguish.
"Let's go to the west gate to break through!" Lu Bu stood up and was about to notify Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, but Liu Wei stopped him.
"You can't go through the west gate!" Liu Mang said.
"Why?!" Lu Bu didn't understand. The east gate was the White Gate Tower, which had been broken, and the north gate was Gao Shun's camp leader. It was broken, only Ximen, with Chen Gong there, should be able to hold on for a while!
"Going to the west gate is completely courting death!" Liu Mang doesn't know the art of war, but he understands human psychology. Three of the four gates of Xiapi have been captured, and the destruction of Xiapi city is inevitable. This is the last remaining The door is no longer a fortification, but a credit! Credit for breaking the door.
Cao Cao's expedition to Xiapi this time brought generals Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houchun, and Xu Huang, Lu Qian, and Li Dian below. Plus the three peach brothers! It can be said to gather stars. But there are only four doors in Xiapi this time! It's not easy to score at all, so the remaining one is definitely a good place to grab credit.
"Let's go to the east gate and break through from the east gate~!" Liu Mang said after making up his mind.
"East Gate, are you crazy?!" Lu Bu shouted, "This East Gate is the White Gate Tower, which is exactly the place we just lost. Because I am here, this East Gate is also the place where the Cao bandits sent the most troops and the strongest army. This breakout How can you get out of the east gate! If you don’t go through the west gate, go!”
It is said in the book that Lu Bu is self-willed. Liu Mang didn't believe it at first, but now he believed it, and he rejected it without giving Liu Mang a chance to explain. There is a camp, and the Bingzhou cavalry can lose so completely.
However, there are really some ways to deal with people like Lu Bu and Liu Mang!
A person like Lu Bu is actually a hedgehog to put it mildly. If you touch along his thorns, nothing will happen. If you touch in the opposite direction, hehe, then you will be stabbed with blood all over your hands. Bar!
"Boss Lu, do you want to take revenge?!" Just such a sentence made Lu Bu loosen his disapproval.
"Revenge?!" Lu Bu's eyes flickered, flickering in the darkness, making people terrified.
"Yes, revenge, being bullied so badly by the Cao thief, and the three traitors Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, why did you just leave in such a despondent way? Don't you want to kill the three traitors and give it to the Cao thief?" Cruel?!"
"What to do!" Lu Bu was the most straightforward. Lu Bu is a hero, but he is also a villain. The most important feature of a villain is that he must take revenge.
Cao Cao brought him such a lot of pain, how could he not repay him, and Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian, the three traitors, all of them have such a characteristic, the hatred for traitors is always It is much bigger than the enemy, such as the Han Dynasty during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Cursing and cursing, writing big and special books, and not digging out the three generations of the Han Dynasty, they will never stop.
"Break through the east gate!" Liu Wei expressed his thoughts, "Cao's army is indeed the largest and most powerful in the Baimenlou of the east gate, but don't forget, it's just guarding against Lu Bu's army!"
"What do you mean?!" Lu Bu asked.
"Hehe, we are now Cao Jun, the nephew of General Xia Houyuan, Xia Houde's subordinate, do you think Cao Jun will stop us?!"
"That's right!" Lu Bu remembered that Liu Mang made Zhang Liao's soldiers change into Cao Jun's clothes, and it was really hard to tell them apart under the dark sky.
"Cao Jun has already broken through Xiapi, and the whole of Xuzhou is at his fingertips. Then, according to Cao Cao's surname, how can he not express his pride and enjoy the feeling of being a victor, so he will definitely set up a surname in the landmark building of Xiapi. Banquet, to celebrate the acquisition of Xuzhou, this iconic building is the Baimen Tower in Xiapi!" In the novel, Boss Lu was killed on the Baimen Tower.
"When a person is most proud, that is when he is most forgetful. At this time, how high is his defense?! I asked General Zhang Liao to fight in the front, and the eight hundred camps were behind, just to see if there is a chance to attack directly Cao Cao’s tent, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian, the three traitors will definitely be with Cao Cao. Maybe with luck, we can kill Cao Cao and we will decide the world in one game. Once Cao Cao dies, the whole Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be in chaos , Boss Lu can replace him, and even if we can’t kill him, we can leave the city quickly! Let’s start again in the future!”
Listening to Liu Mang's explanation, Lu Bu became more and more tempted to just do it!
The efficiency of Lu Bu's army is fast, and the camp is the elite among the elite, and the other Lu Bu's troops who followed also survived nine deaths, and they are all soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, and their movements cannot be slow.
After a while, a "Cao Jun" under the banner of Xia Houde swaggered towards the direction of Baimenlou.
------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Xiapi Baimen upstairs
Cao Cao's big banquet guests, it can't be said that they are very high-spirited! Lu Bu, who was imprisoned in the tiger prison and regarded the twelve princes as nothing, was defeated by Cao Mengde. Not only was he defeated, but he also got his foundation, and maybe his wife and concubines later. He coveted Diao Chan for a long time up.
"Congratulations Prime Minister, Congratulations Prime Minister, the lower Pi has been broken, this Xuzhou is at your fingertips, and Xuzhou can support a hundred thousand troops!" A scribe first knelt down and congratulated Cao Cao.
"Haha, get up!" Cao Cao was in a very relaxed mood. Who do you know is kneeling on the ground? It was Chen Qun who was originally from Lu Bu's army. This Chen Qun is a great talent. He Lu Bu doesn't need it, I Cao Mengde Come on lol.
"Today I was able to break Xiapi and defeat Lu Bu thanks to everyone's credit. I, Cao Mengde, thank you here!" Xiapi, Xuzhou, this is a land of fish and rice. Although it is the land of four wars, it can raise a hundred thousand troops. .
He Cao Cao didn't want to get Xuzhou once or twice. He beat Xuzhou in the name of his father Cao Song. At that time, the owner of Xuzhou was Tao Qian. Relying on Xuzhou's wealth, he forced Cao Cao back.
The second attack on Xuzhou is now. It took him a long time to cultivate Cao Cao to reach Xiapi with Qingzhou soldiers. This is because Lu Bu dug his own grave and refused to listen to what the counselors said.
"Don't dare, dare not!" Everyone under his command bowed their heads and said they didn't dare.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came.
Cao Cao diverted his attention to a middle-aged scribe who was tied up and was so happy that he forgot about him. Cao Cao looked at the scribe proudly and said, "I don't know what the public platform can teach you!"
That's right, the middle-aged scribe who was tied up was none other than Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai, the number one counselor of Lu Bu's army.
"You despicable villain, if it wasn't for Feng Xian not listening to my plan, how could you have gotten into trouble like this!" Chen Gong's prejudice against Cao Cao has never subsided, and it has grown deeper and deeper over the years.
"Gongtai, Gongtai, why are you doing this? You wanted to be with me at the beginning, but now you must have a seat at the celebration banquet, and you can even show your ambitions and grand plans. You don't choose me, Cao Mengde." I thought it was Gongtai that you had a great vision and could recognize people, but now it seems like that!" What Cao Cao meant was that you, Chen Gongtai, have short-sightedness like a mouse, and if you don't want a bright future, you must rely on Lu Bu.
"Hehe, come with you? Why not kill innocent people with you? What's wrong with Lu Boshe? It's fine if you kill his family, but you want to kill him too? Cao Mengde, you really are a wolf!" Chen Gong The more you speak, the more excited you become.
All the counselors and generals below were silent. It was the first time they had heard about Lu Boshe. Although Cao Cao violated morals, he was their master.
"Shut up!" Cao Cao's expression changed.
"What's the matter, you, Cao Mengde, are also afraid? You, Cao Mengde, want to be famous?! You told me to shut up, and I insisted that you, Cao Mengde, would kill me with a sword!" Chen Gong sneered.
"Do you really think I dare not kill you?!" Cao Cao pulled out the sharp sword in his hand. This sword is called Yitian, made of fine iron, and it can be called a magic weapon.
"Kill! As long as you Cao Mengde don't kill me for a day, I will say it!"
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong for a long time with a sudden smile on his face, "Say, keep talking, curse and curse!" A sword swung down and cut off the rope on Chen Gong's body
"Is Gongtai thirsty!" Cao Cao ordered someone to bring a wine glass and fill it with good wine, which means that you, Chen Gongtai, continue to scold. If you are thirsty, you can drink to quench your thirst before you scold!
Chen Gong picked up the wine glass in front of the table and drank it down, shaking his head and said, "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, I really didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned!"
"Haha!" Cao Cao smiled boldly and stood up, "Gongtai, it's not that I'm thick-skinned, it's not that I'm thick-skinned,
It's just that I have already ignored the vulgar ethics in this world. Everyone in the world says that I am a Jenxiong, but they can't do anything about me as a Jenxiong; you self-proclaimed gentlemen have also been defeated by this Jianxiong. If the price of being a gentleman is to be humiliated, trampled, wiped out, or even killed, I would rather be a villain who can realize my ambition. Since ancient times, great annihilation seems loyal, great falsehood seems true, loyalty and evil are not apparent from the surface. Maybe you misjudged me Cao Cao before, and now you misjudged me again, but I am still me, and I have never been afraid of being misjudged by others... Brother Gongtai, in all fairness, do you think I am right? "
Chen Gong has nothing to say, different ways do not conspire with each other, maybe Cao Cao is right, or maybe he himself is right, who knows! Anyway, now that Picheng is broken, he, Chen Gongtai, is also ready to die.
Seeing that Chen Gong was left speechless by what he said, Cao Cao smiled. If he really wanted to count, this Chen Gong was his first counselor! Cao Cao was really moved when he left for his own resignation.
Just when Cao Cao was thinking about something, a messenger ran in, "Report to the Prime Minister, General Hou Cheng, please see me!"
"Oh?!" Cao Cao said, Hou Cheng had already surrendered himself, he went out this time to find Wei Xu and Song Xian, Wei Xu and Song Xian had tied Lu Bu, Hou Cheng came back , so Lu Bu was also kidnapped.
Cao Cao smiled in his heart and said to Chen Gong who was drinking, "Gongtai, Gongtai, your old master is coming!"
"Let him in!"
"Yes!" The orderly went down.
"Alas!" Chen Gong sighed with a look of loneliness on his face.
Hou Cheng strode in quickly, and knelt down to Cao Cao, "The surrendered general Hou Cheng has seen the prime minister!"
"General Hou Cheng, don't be too polite, please hurry up. If you defeat Lu Bu today, Lu Bu's army will be removed from this world in the future, so the general doesn't need to call himself a surrendered general. He should be the last general!" Cao Cao stroked his beard As if thinking about Hou Cheng.
"Yes, the general obeys orders!" Hou Cheng, a 25-year-old boy, really liked this, and was extremely moved.
"Why don't the two generals Wei Xu and Song Xian come with you? I offer Lu Bu and the credit for opening the city gate. This prime minister should make a note of the two generals!" Cao Cao never stingy with rewards, so The soldiers of Cao Jun also worked hard for Cao Cao!
"Eh!" Cao Cao didn't ask, but luckily, when he asked Hou Cheng, the sweat came out on Hou Cheng's face, "The last general, the last general!" He hesitated and couldn't speak.
"What's wrong?!" Cao Cao asked with a frown.
"The final general knows his mistake, and please forgive me, Lu Bu, Lu Bu broke free from the rope and ran away!" Song Xian and Wei Xu did not tell Hou Cheng the existence of Liu Mang, because if they did, it would mean that the two of them were idiots Well! Trusting a person for no reason, and being sold by him in the end, this is not what it is!
"Run away?!" Cao Cao didn't speak, but a black-skinned warrior next to him said, "Didn't you say that Wei Xu and Song Xian had tied up the slaves of the three surnames? And left him behind Fang Tian draws a halberd, this can make him run away, you are really trash!" The voice was extremely loud, and the heart of spitting almost reached Hou Cheng's face, Hou Cheng needed to pretend to be a grandson in front of Cao Cao, but he was in front of this general No need, there was already a look of displeasure on his face.
"Third brother, don't be rude!" A Confucian with big ears came out and grabbed the black-faced general. That's right, these are the three Taozi brothers. Let alone Liu Bei's image is really good, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his arms are above his knees. When she cries, she really has the air of worrying about the world.
"Hahahaha, good run, good run!" Chen Gong was the happiest here, if the wine just now tasted as boring as drinking water, now it has become fine wine.
"The dragon enters the sea, let the tiger go back to the mountain! Mengde, you don't want to be safe in Xuzhou!"
"Huh?!" Cao Cao's face was gloomy, but he didn't speak. He didn't know that Lu Bu was a fierce tiger. Once he was allowed to escape, Xuzhou and even Yanzhou would not be able to calm down. Lu Bu's original work was worthless. Buying and selling, the big deal now is to fuck up the old job.
But he can't afford to play Cao Cao, and if he is messed up by Lu Bu twice in three days, he will not be stable, let alone dominate the world by then, it will be good if he can hold his own territory.
Cao Cao took a deep breath without that angry expression, but smiled and said, "What is the crime of General Hou Cheng? This Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian are already a tiger. He can open the city gate and offer the Chitu Fangtian's painted halberd. It’s a great achievement, no need to blame yourself!”
"Prime Minister!" Hou Cheng was even more moved. "Prime Minister, don't worry, Lu Bu cares about his wife and concubines the most. The two generals Wei Xu and Song Xian have already gone to Chengzhong State Shepherd's Mansion to bring Lu Bu's family. As long as they are in hand, Lu Bu He will be caught obediently!"
"Oh?!" Cao Cao really forgot, this Lu Bu is a man who cares about his family, let alone Hou Cheng's strategy is really useful, if Lu Bu treats his wife like clothes like someone, and changes clothes more diligently than eating , Cao Mengde can't do anything!
Having said that, Cao Cao turned his attention to Liu Bei.
