Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 38 The White Gate Tower

Lu Bu's bravery is well known in the world, so why would Cao Cao ask others for his opinion whether to kill or stay?At this time, he asked the three people in front of the account, mainly to see their reactions.

Cao Cao's achievements and strength today are inseparable from the strong support of the Henan gentry. Of course, he also treated the Henan gentry favorably by "repaying his kindness". Xun You and Guo Jia are both from Yingchuan, Henan.

In the past, he set up an army in Chenliu in Yanzhou. At that time, besides the Henan gentry, a large number of Yanzhou gentry participated in the initial investment. However, Cao Cao only treated the Henan gentry favorably, which made Yanzhou people resentful.

Later, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao brought Lu Bu into Yanzhou, mainly because the Yanzhou gentry wanted revenge, and their efforts were not fully rewarded, so why did they support Cao Cao?Although Lu Bu is incompetent, he is willing to reuse Yanzhou people.

The world of adults is not about fighting and killing. They are full of benevolence and morality, and their hearts are full of business. Why would celebrities scold Cao Cao?Why did Yanzhou prefectures and counties completely reverse in a short time?All reasons cannot escape the word interest.

Xun You and Guo Jia asked Cheng Yu to show their attitude first, because Cheng Yu is from Yanzhou. He is not a simple counselor like the former, but an all-rounder who can command soldiers and horses to lead the army in battle. Cheng Yu is now the governor of Yanzhou. Attitude represents the attitude of Yanzhou.

In Cao Cao's heart, even if Lu Bu was invincible, he would not dare to use him. He did not dare to keep such a hidden danger by his side. If the Yanzhou gentry colluded with him to rebel against Yuan Shao, he would die without a place to die.

In Xiapi City, Lu Bu was very angry because of Chen Gong's actions, and this guy suddenly made a very strange move.

Lu Bu excused Gao Shun's inability to defend the city, first demoted him from Zhonglang general to school captain, and then from school lieutenant to military commander, making him change from a city guard to an inner city patrol officer, and gradually faded out of senior generals vision.

Zhang Liao was surprised to become a city defender, and he secretly went to comfort Gao Shun, but the guy was not dissatisfied at all, Zhang Liao admired him.

Not long after Lu Bu's prohibition on alcohol was promulgated, Hou Chengyin, a cavalry general under his tent, recovered his lost horse. Friends and generals brought gifts to celebrate.

When Lu Bu was depressed, he saw Hou Cheng smiling and bringing wine and meat. He felt that this man was despising his military orders, so he wanted to kill him.

Under the begging of all the generals, Hou Cheng finally received a meal of sticks, which beat him to pieces.

Hou Cheng felt resentful because of this, and he conspired with his friends Song Xian and Wei Xu to surrender Cao while he was recovering from his injuries.

Surrendering in advance requires a meeting gift, so they turned their ideas on Chen Gong, who was the biggest opponent of the surrender faction in the city.

In December of the third year of Jian'an, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others bound Chen Gong and led the crowd to surrender.

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard the news. He and Zhang Liao went up to the White Gate Tower. Seeing that Cao Jun was fighting bravely to attack first, he was in a hurry. Get to know each other."

"General." Everyone under his command wept, unable to bear to kill Lu Bu.

"My lord has wanted to surrender for a long time, why bother to seek death?" Zhang Liao persuaded from the side.

Lu Bu then ordered someone to bind him, and then sent someone to welcome Cao Cao into the city. Seeing this, Zhang Liao also tied himself to the Baimen Tower with the Lord.

Cao Cao was supervising the battle outside the city. He had just accepted the begging from Hou Cheng and other generals, when he heard that Lu Bu had also sent someone to surrender, his expression changed and he said, "The big thing is here, hurry up and invite Liu Bei here. Let's go to Xiapi together. See you soon." Our old friend."

People around did not know Cao Cao's intentions, but Guo Jia smiled leisurely.

At this time, Liu Bei was ordered to attack the west gate. After receiving Cao Cao's invitation, he and Guan Yu came to the south gate, and then entered the city with Cao Cao to climb the White Gate Tower.

When Lu Bu saw Cao Cao, he hurriedly said: "Ming Gong's patients are no more than Yu Buer. Bu has never met the Ming Lord in his life, and now he is willing to worship under Ming Gong's tent, lead the horse and fall, and fight for the world for Ming Gong."

Cao Cao didn't speak, but looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's heart tightened when he was stared at, and he wondered if Cao thief had some schemes?
At this time, Chen Gong happened to be escorted to the White Gate Tower. In the past, Cao Cao almost lost because of him in Yanzhou, so when he won, he naturally had to show off in front of everyone.

Hearing Lv Bu's sonorous words just now, Chen Gong raised his head and laughed loudly: "Lv Bu is a common man, he was defeated and captured, he just died, why bother to beg for mercy like that poor dog?"

"Gongtai has such a sharp mouth, why don't you see the prestige of Yanzhou in the past? Hahaha," Cao Cao laughed.

"Huh..." Chen Gong was originally pushed to Lu Bu's side, but this fellow struggled suddenly and took a few steps away.

Cao Cao ignored Chen Gong, and instead said to Liu Bei: "Xuande has been bullied by this guy many times, in your opinion, should I kill or keep?"

"This..." Although Liu Bei hated Lu Bu, he didn't want to kill him yet, but it was a pity that he returned to Cao Cao like this.

"Cao Mengde, you still don't forget to play tricks at this time, and you really deserve others to call you a traitor." Chen Gong snorted coldly.

When Chen Gong said this, how could Liu Bei dare to speak up?

Cao Cao frowned and said coldly: "Chen Gong, you have despised me several times, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Chen Gong turned his head away from looking at him, and said disdainfully: "Winners will be kings and losers, and death will be death. Why do you need to say more?"

"You" Cao Cao was so stunned that he couldn't refute.

Although Lu Bu is dull, he is not stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that Cao Cao had no intention of letting him go, so he said with a dumb smile: "Huangtu Baye is talking and laughing, and life can't be drunk. Gongtai is right, there is a winner and a loser, and there is death." That's all."

At this time, Chen Gong saw Lu Bu's eyes changed, and he echoed excitedly: "While talking and laughing with Huangtu Baye, I can't bear to be drunk in life. This is the Lu Fengxian I know."

Cao Cao was dumbfounded when he heard it, did he say such famous words?Why don't I, Cao Mengde, know?
"Cao thief, do you have the beheading wine?" Chen Gong shouted.

"Yes? Bring them wine." Cao Cao was taken aback. Chen Gongtai scolded me, why should I agree?This is called mind.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong laughed wildly after drinking the beheading wine, Cao Cao saw that they wanted to die, so he stopped persuading them, and hanged them on the White Gate Tower.

"Why didn't Xuande say anything just now?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Bei is still thinking about it, Mr. Gongtai will." Liu Bei hesitated to speak.

Cao Cao shook his head, and asked the bound Zhang Liao, "Who are you? Why didn't you follow your master?"

"Is Zhang Liao a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Kill him if he wants to." Zhang Liao glared angrily.

Guan Yu who was beside Liu Bei hastily pleaded and said: "Minggong wait a moment, Zhang Wenyuan is outstanding in martial arts, loyal and righteous, it's a pity to kill him."

"I also know that Wen Yuan is loyal, so I just said something to make fun of you." Cao Cao said with a smile, and walked over to untie Zhang Liao himself.

Zhang Liao was not determined to die, he cupped his fists to thank Guan Yu, and returned to Cao Cao's tent.

"Just now I heard Lu Bu and Chen Gong say: Huangtu Baye is talking and laughing, it is too much to be drunk in life. This statement is quite artistic. I don't know who made it?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao.

"It is said that it is Xiaopei, a farmer." Zhang Liao answered truthfully.

"Farmer? How can a farmer have such pride? Does Wenyuan know the name of this person?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "It seems that it is called Lanziyu. This is a rumor in the army, and Liao can't know all about it."

"Lan Ziyu, I have never heard of this name. Xuande has been in Xiaopei for a long time, but have you heard of this person?" Cao Cao asked again.

Liu Bei was stunned, but he said calmly on his face: "I don't know, this is the first time Bei has heard this."
