Chapter 344: They Are All Bad Guys
Chapter 344: They Are All Bad Guys
Early the next morning.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce stood behind the army. In front, Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu, and Huang Gai each led [-] troops and formed an orderly formation.
Not far ahead, Pinghu is not closed.
Cao Cao looked at Pinghu Pass with bright eyes and said in a deep voice: "Beat the drum!"
Dong dong dong
Inspiring drumbeats sounded one after another, filling the entire army.
"kill!"
Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu, and Huang Gai heard the sound and gave orders, and the army rushed forward.
Siege ladders, trebuchets, door hammers, etc. are all used.
The momentum was like waves, the shouts of killing were like waves, and they attacked Pinghu Pass with all their strength like never before.
Since the previous attacks were all tentative, facing Cao Cao's full attack, Pinghu Guan did not dare to be careless.
Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others all went to the top of the city and commanded the troops to guard the pass.
Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, led Li Ru and other counselors in Arrow Pavilion, carefully observing the movements of Cao's army.
After half an hour, Li Ru suppressed his heart palpitations and said: "Ming Gong, Cao Cao is serious. I don't know what conspiracy he has."
There is a poisonous snake Yuan Shao behind Cao Cao, and Pinghu Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, Cao Cao left it alone and attacked Pinghu Pass with all his strength.
Anyone can see that this is extremely abnormal!
Dong Zhuo felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and said to himself: "What on earth is this Mengde going to do?"
"Is Wenhe still in Xiapi?" Dong Zhuo asked immediately.
Li Ru almost choked to death at these words, but still held back and said: "Now, I don't know even if I'm a low-ranking official."
Dong Zhuo missed Jia Xu very much and was trapped in Pinghu Pass without any means, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Listening to Cao Jun's shouts of killing, Dong Zhuo's eyes widened and he wished he could go down and kill them.
But after looking at the big belly in front of me, I had no choice but to stand in the distance.
"Father!"
Lu Bu strode over with a long halberd in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Father, I ask for orders to come out of seclusion, kill Cao Cao, and vent my anger for my foster father!"
Seeing Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's old face burst into laughter and said: "First of all, my son does not need to be angry. It is said that one can make a strong effort, then it will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. If you wait two more days, when Meng De's army is exhausted, my son will not be able to stand in the world." Time for meritorious deeds!”
Lu Bu didn't take Cao Cao seriously at all, and snorted coldly, saying: "Why did my foster father have to wait for those two days? Today, I can kill them and make them abandon their armor!"
Dong Zhuo quickly comforted him and said, "I know that my son is brave. I'll wait for two days, but I still want to see what Yuan Shao wants to do."
Cao Cao's fangs were exposed, but Yuan Shao had always been secretive, so Dong Zhuo was still wary.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had reached this point, Lu Bu had no choice but to agree.
And under the pass, Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu, and Huang Gai's offensive became more fierce, and arrows fell like rain on Pinghu Pass crazily.
The trebuchet was non-stop, slamming the bottles and jugs up and down.
At the rear of the army, Liu Bei looked at the corpses that kept falling and the wounded soldiers being brought back. His heart was like a knife, and he was bleeding constantly.
This was what Cao Cao had just given to him. How could Liu Bei feel better if it was lost like this?
Sun Ce felt the same way. His soldiers were all precious, and losing any of them hurt.
But seeing that Cao Cao had no emotion at all, he could only hold back and say nothing.
Cao Cao didn't feel sorry for him. These soldiers and horses were all his. It would be difficult for anyone to accept such a loss.
The offensive ahead is in full swing. Cao Cao, Liu Bian, and Sun Ce each have their own thoughts.
At this time, Cao Ang quietly came to Cao Cao and whispered: "Father, Yuan Shao's camp sent several teams of people to the north."
Cao Cao's narrow eyes flashed slightly and said, "Is there any news from the Imperial City Mansion?"
Cao Ang glanced at Liu Bei and Sun Ce who were not far away, and whispered: "Yes. The Imperial City Mansion said that it is difficult to tell whether the news in Luoyang City is true or false. We will know when the time comes."
Cao Cao frowned and said, "You didn't say it was news from the Great Sima Mansion?"
Cao Ang said: "I told you, that's how they responded to me."
Cao Cao felt moved in his heart and said, "What do you mean by filial piety?"
Cao Ang said: "The military advisor said that the Imperial City Mansion's response was a bit playful."
"Playing?"
Cao Cao thought about it for a while, then calmed down and said, "I heard that Cao Pi often visits the palace recently?"
Cao Ang seemed to have remembered something, and said slightly cautiously: "Yes. It is said that he is selecting a companion for His Highness and His Highness. The officials in the capital and the children of wealthy families are vying to enter the palace."
Cao Cao felt a little irritated and refused, but he didn't dare. He thought about it and said: "You send a message back, asking Cao Pi to be careful in his words and deeds. Also, he cannot be the companion of His Highness."
Cao Ang was startled, then glanced at Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others, and whispered: "Father, your Majesty loves the Second Highness very much. Everyone in Luoyang said that Your Majesty will make the Second Highness the crown prince."
The Han Dynasty was not so demanding about the 'eldest son' system, and even if it was, the reigning emperor had many ways to get around it.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty successfully cleared the way for him by deposing the crown prince.
Cao Cao suddenly turned his head coldly and scolded: "Children, don't talk nonsense!"
Cao Ang was startled, and he quickly bowed and said, "I know I was wrong, kid."
If it weren't for the large crowd and the army attacking the city, based on Cao Ang's understanding of his father, he might have been pinned to the ground and beaten in normal times.
Cao Cao looked angry and said, "Is there anyone in the house who talks too much?"
Cao Ang lowered his head and dared not speak.
Cao Cao was immediately furious and shouted: "Send the message back, whoever dares to talk nonsense will have his tongue cut off and be sent back to his hometown to be fattened!"
Cao Ang felt cold all over and said, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
It had been a long time since he had felt his father being so angry towards him. He didn't dare to take a breath, so he turned around and ran away.
Cao Cao stared at his back, still feeling uneasy.
The water in Luoyang city was too deep, and he himself was cautious, walking on thin ice. If Cao Pi got involved in the fight for the legitimate son again, the Cao family would really have no chance of survival.
Liu Bei and Sun Ce both looked at Cao Cao with doubts.
Cao Cao was too suspicious. The two of them were very concerned about his every move and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Cao Cao had no intention of explaining and continued to command the army to attack Pinghu Pass.
From morning to night, without stopping for a moment.
In the evening, Ming Jin retreated his troops.
Under the Pinghu Pass, blood flowed into rivers and corpses were scattered all over the place.
Cao Cao met with Liu Bei and Sun Ce, exchanged a few words, and then led his army back to the camp.
Cao Cao entered the tent, took off his armor, and shouted, "Where is Fengxiao?"
Cao Hong followed up and said, "General, the military advisor is still sleeping." Cao Cao was startled, turned to look at him, and said, "Sleeping?"
Cao Hong was also a little confused and said: "Lately, military advisors often drink too much and then fall asleep."
Cao Cao was very indulgent towards Guo Jia. The basis of his indulgence was that Guo Jia knew what was right.
But lately, Guo Jia has been getting drunk all the time, which is not Guo Jia's temperament.
Cao Cao thought for a while, left the big tent and went straight to Guo Jia's tent.
inside the tent.
Guo Jia was holding the toilet and coughing up blood. His eyes were red, his face was grim, and he was enduring tremendous pain.
The bell above his head suddenly rang. Guo Jia vomited vigorously, then stood up suddenly, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, then closed the toilet, carried the wine bottle, hurriedly opened the tent and walked out.
They ran into Cao Cao who was about to enter the tent.
Guo Jia smiled and picked up the flask to drink, and said: "General, is today going well?"
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia carefully and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. He couldn't help but sigh: "To be a filial piety, it is better to quit drinking. Drinking is very harmful to the body."
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Guo Jia has no wine, so he might as well die."
Cao Cao had no choice but to turn around and said: "Cao Ang said that the news from the Imperial City Palace may not be from King Chenliu."
Guo Jia was startled. He had been asleep for who knows how long, but he missed the news.
Wrinkling his eyebrows and thinking carefully, Guo Jia nodded slightly and said: "Now it seems that I have to guess again."
Cao Cao saw Guo Jia blocking the door and not inviting him in. He tilted his head and looked inside, so he turned around with a smile and said, "There's nothing to guess. You'll know when you get here. Yuan Shao sent out several troops, and he must have also I don’t know who it is.”
Guo Jia followed Cao Cao. When he saw blood on his chest, he wiped it off calmly and said: "With the character of that majesty, he must be an unexpected person."
Cao Cao no longer cared about this and said: "Fengxiao, we still have to find a way to contain Yuan Shao. We cannot be attacked from both sides."
Guo Jia was startled and said, "Didn't the general arrange an ambush?"
Cao Cao shook his head as he walked and said: "It's not enough, especially after the imperial envoy arrives, we must be on the safe side."
Guo Jia felt a hint of urgency in Cao Cao's voice and said, "General, has there been a change in Luoyang City?"
Cao Cao thought of Cao Pi and the two princes in the palace, his eyebrows were irritated, and he said: "No. I have a hunch that the second prince Huangfu may act in advance. We don't have much time."
Guo Jia understood that this was not a premonition, it was probably the Imperial City Mansion that had revealed the news.
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said, "There are several ways. One is to deploy a suspicious army behind Yuan Shao to force Yuan Shao not to move. The second is to use the imperial envoy. The third is to The soldiers are so quick that they don't give Yuan Shao time to react."
Cao Cao thought about these methods and said, "Then, Liu Biao, can't he really move?"
Cao Cao now feels a little helpless and needs help, and the nearest person with soldiers and money is undoubtedly Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "If he could move, he would have moved long ago. I just don't know if Huang Zhong from Yanzhou would move."
Cao Cao became more and more annoyed, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go, have a drink."
A major event is approaching, even Cao Cao cannot remain calm.
Guo Jianeng understood and accompanied Cao Cao back to his tent.
On the other side, a group of people, escorted by Zhao Yun, passed through Yingchuan, Xu County, and Qiao County, and headed straight for Pinghu Pass.
Perhaps after sitting in the carriage for a long time, the person inside poked his head out and said in a clear voice: "Zilong, can I ride a horse?"
Standing beside the carriage, Zhao Yun, who was wearing silver armor and a silver gun, turned his head and said: "Your Highness, we will arrive in half a day. It will be a bit of a rush. It is more comfortable for Your Highness to ride in the carriage."
For a four- or five-year-old kid, if he is riding a horse, his butt alone will definitely not be as simple as one or two layers of skin.
Liu Yu looked at the horse under Zhao Yun, blinked his big eyes, and said with great hope: "Then can I ride for a while?"
Zhao Yun hesitated, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness, would you like to ride with me?"
Liu Yu was overjoyed, got out of the carriage, and opened his arms towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun stretched out his hands and held Liu Yu in front of him. He didn't pull on the horse rope again until he sat down.
On the carriage, Xun You followed him out, watching Liu Yu touching the horse excitedly, and turned to look at Pinghu Pass.
Zhao Yun saw him coming out and said, "Xun Pushe, I'll be there at noon tomorrow at the latest."
Xun You held the carriage with one hand, swaying, his expression gradually becoming cold, and said: "When we get to Pinghu Pass, obey my orders. If necessary, kill Yuan Shao!"
It was obvious that Yuan Shao's tricks could not be hidden from the court.
Zhao Yun turned sideways and said: "The last general takes orders!"
"Zi Long,"
After Liu Yu touched the horse, he took a fancy to the spear in Zhao Yun's hand, and said with bright eyes: "Is this the gun that my father had someone make for you?"
Zhao Yun looked down at Liu Yu, held the gun in front of him, and said, "Yes, it weighs forty pounds."
Liu Yu touched it with both hands and felt the roughness on it. He stretched out his hand to weigh it and suddenly felt unable to pick it up. He raised his head and said, "Zilong, did you really kill that Wen Chou with one shot?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yes."
Liu Yu became more and more excited. He touched the spear with a look of longing on his face.
Xun You didn't want His Highness to take the wrong path, so he said calmly: "Your Highness, when you arrive at Pinghu Pass, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Those people are all tigers and wolves with ulterior motives. Your Highness's You must hide your preferences well."
Liu Yu paused when he touched the spear with both hands, took it back, turned to Xun You, and said, "Xun Pushe is right."
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms.
This was the first time Xun You had seen this situation, but with Zhao Yun in front, he carefully reached out and carried Liu Yu back to the carriage.
Liu Yu stood on the side, raised his little face and said: "Friend Xun, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao are all bad, are there any good ones?"
Xun You was startled, this was really hard to answer.
In his opinion, apart from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Bei was incompetent, Sun Ce was also treacherous, and Zhuge Xuan, Liu Yao and others were incompetent and treacherous, and no one was loyal and upright.
Liu Yu blinked and said full of curiosity and confusion: "Xun Pushe, is there no good guy in my big man?"
Xun You suddenly felt something in his heart, and he quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness, it is difficult to distinguish between good people and bad people for a while. You still have to see what they say and what they do. Don't believe what they say or doubt what they say."
Liu Yu suddenly became more confused. Obviously, at his age, he could not understand such profound words.
Xun You knelt down, thinking, and prepared to give a serious explanation to His Highness, who might be the future emperor.
"Report to the general!"
A flying cavalry came quickly and came to Zhao Yun's side, saying: "There are more than a dozen cavalry in front, like Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses."
Zhao Yun raised his hand and said: "Be on guard. Mingcheng, you take people with you. If they come, kill them all and don't let anyone go!"
"Yes!" A military lord agreed and left quickly with thirty people.
Liu Yu didn't feel scared at all, because he didn't know how many times this happened. He looked at Zhao Yun and said crisply: "Zilong, are you a good person?"
Zhao Yun, who had always been calm and composed, was startled by these words. He turned around hastily, raised his hand and said solemnly: "I am loyal to my great man, and loyal to your majesty. I will never have any different intentions. Your highness, please tell me clearly!"
