The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 168 Death of Baimenlou[Comment]

The entrance ceremony was quite spectacular.At the front, a thousand cavalry in black and armor led the way.Followed by colorful flags and various guards of honor.Cao Cao's chariot is spacious and comfortable, drawn by six horses.Five hundred tiger and leopard riders in red robes guarded around.Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Jin rode horses, while Dong Zhao, Jiang Ji, Liu Ye and others rode in chariots.In the end, there are five thousand mighty steps, stepping on a uniform step, drinking the sound of war drums.

Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu led officials at all levels of Xuzhou's subordinate government to stand in front of the city gate in an orderly manner.The eyes of the people behind him were dull, with no expression on their faces.This is the south gate of Pengcheng. According to etiquette, the south gate can only be used as the main gate of the imperial city. The emperor sits north and faces south!Few other cities have such a phenomenon, only Pengcheng is like this.According to legend, when Chu and Han were in conflict, Pengcheng was the old nest of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, so the city gates rushed south. The gate is the main gate of Pengcheng, which continues to this day.The emperors of the Han Dynasty also acquiesced to this fact.

The south gate of Pengcheng is different from other places.The general city gates are basically built with mud, and the slightly larger ones are built with green bricks.The best way is to build stones layer by layer, and then water them with soup made from high-quality glutinous rice.As the imperial city, Luoyang did just that.The south gate of Pengcheng is also built with stones, but the stones are not ordinary stones, but very precious white jade.

The white jade mentioned here is what we often call white marble.White marble is a precious building material. It is white and flawless, with a solid and delicate texture. It is often used as a raw material in precious buildings throughout the ages.It is precisely because he has been using it since the Han Dynasty that later generations call it white marble.The white marble is white, and the whole city tower is made of white marble. The whole body is white, and the people of Pengcheng call it Baimenlou.

At the gate of the city, Cao Cao stopped his car and got out of the car slowly.He looked up at the tall city tower and was amazed.Song Xian held Lu Bu's military amulet, Hou Cheng held the letter of surrender, and Wei Xu presented the governor's seal in front of Cao Cao.Cao Cao praised several people and asked them to take these things.Liu Bei on the side watched these things being collected by Cao Cao eagerly, feeling very reluctant in his heart.

"Where is Lu Fengxian?" Cao Cao was all smiles, he really wanted to see how the imprisoned tiger was doing.Thinking back then, I cheated a horse from him, and then escaped from Luoyang. Indirectly speaking, Lu Bu also saved his life.

Hou Cheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Cao, please rest in the subordinate yamen first, I will go to the prison and bring Lu Bu out!"

"You don't need to go to the Yamen! I think it's good to be on top of the city tower!" Cao Cao pointed to the city tower: "This place is wide, and you can see the scenery in the city, so let's go here!"

As soon as Cao Ren gave an order, Cao Cao's personal guards immediately stepped up to replace the Xuzhou soldiers who had been guarding the tower.Cao Cao was suspicious, and he had another worry in his reluctance to enter the city.If Song Xian and the others were deceiving themselves, they would have fallen into the trap.He would never enter the city until he saw Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was still tied up, and he staggered as he walked.With fluffy hair and a sad expression on his face, he no longer had the domineering spirit of the past.At this stage, Lu Bu also looked away. It seems that people like himself will die after all, but sooner or later he will hear it.What kind of death method does it matter who dies?Those who died under their own hands will find someone to reason with.

"Kneel down!" Hou Cheng kicked Lu Bu's leg hard.Lu Bu staggered, but did not kneel down.

Cao Cao frowned.Cao Ren said angrily: "Presumptuous, don't back down!"

Hou Cheng originally wanted to show off, but flattered him in the wrong place, and hastily retreated submissively.Lu Bu smiled: "Meng De seems to have gotten a little fatter, and he is even more noble than when we met in Luoyang back then!"

"Hahaha...!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that Lu Bu, who ruled the world, would become so mundane?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "Across the world? What happened in the end? How is Meng De going to deal with me?"

"Uh...!" Cao Cao was a little embarrassed.He still appreciates Lu Bu's bravery. If Lu Bu becomes his arm, his strength will increase greatly.Besides, Lv Bu and Long Fei had a big feud, and using Lv Bu to deal with Long Fei was almost equal, saving Long Fei from time to time with some dirty tricks to ruin his own affairs.

Mi Zhu saw the change on Cao Cao's face.Hurriedly squeezed to Liu Bei's side and lowered his voice: "My lord, Cao Cao seems to want to take in Lu Bu. If Cao Cao wins Lu Bu, he will be like a tiger with wings added. No princes in the world will dare to compete with him. It is not a good thing for us."

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and nodded quickly: "What do you think, sir?"

"Kill!" Mi Zhu said this word lightly, which surprised Liu Bei, and looked back at Mi Zhu, who nodded slightly.

Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind, Chen Gong at the side naturally saw something, laughed and said: "Cao Mengde, you are still so suspicious, you killed your uncle Lu Boshe's family on a whim back then, maybe you will kill him today General Lu who can help you achieve supremacy?"

"Brother Gongtai, I haven't seen you for a few years, you've made me suffer!" Cao Cao's words were true.After Chen Gong abandoned Cao, he used the advantages of Zhang Miao and Lu Bu to rob Chen Liu to gain a firm foothold, and raided Dongjun to disrupt Cao Cao's internal affairs, and then captured Xuzhou.Even Qingzhou was easily taken by Yuan Shao when Chen Gong occupied Dongjun.

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Meng De and I are not fellow travelers. Today I know that I will die, so I do a good deed for Meng De. If Meng De uses it, it will not be a big deal to bring the world down. If you abandon it, there will always be someone. Ri Mengde will regret what he did today!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, stepped on the female wall, and jumped.Li Dian hastily stretched out his hand to stop him, but it was too late.Everyone watched Chen Gong fall lightly, like a fallen leaf swaying in the autumn wind.

Cao Cao closed his eyes tightly and couldn't bear to go forward to look at it. He ordered people to collect Chen Gong's body so that he could bury it.Two tears slowly seeped from the corners of his eyes: "Brother Gongtai saved my life when I was in danger. Although he didn't want to follow me, I don't blame him. He released Brother Gongtai's family members so that they can have children. It can also be regarded as my little compensation to Brother Gongtai."

"Grandpa Cao is a man of benevolence and righteousness, and I am very pleased!" Liu Bei knelt down in front of Cao Cao, "I thank Duke Cao for your kindness on behalf of Chen Gongtai and his family! Say it and kowtow."

"Mr. Xuande is serious, hurry up!"

Liu Bei got up and stood beside Cao Cao.Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and suddenly smiled and said, "You are a big-eared villain, a hypocritical, hypocritical person, how can Chen Gong accept your replacement?"

Liu Bei glanced at Lu Bu, and asked Cao Cao, "How does Mr. Cao plan to deal with Lu Bu?"

Cao Cao sighed: "Brother Gongtai made an explanation when he was in trouble, I think..."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Liu Bei shook his head again and again: "Mr. Cao is wrong. Does Mr. Cao not know Ding Yuan?"

Cao Cao immediately gasped.yes!Lv Bu was originally a general of Ding Yuan's army, Dong Zhuo had a good horse and brought Lv Bu under his command, and this Lv Bu even killed Ding Yuan, if such ungrateful people stay by his side, they will get angry if they are not careful !Cao Cao nodded hastily: "Thank you, Mr. Xuande, for reminding me! I almost missed a big deal! Someone, come and cut Lu Bula out!"

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Dong Zhao hurriedly stopped him.Dong Zhao glanced at Liu Bei, and said to Cao Cao: "As Chen Gong said, Lu Bu is the number one tiger general in the world, and it is inauspicious to kill him. If he surrenders, he will be the general of our army. My lord should rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, and do not kill the general. "

Cao Ren quickly asked, "Lu Bu! Are you willing to surrender!"

"Master Dong's words are absurd!" Liu Bei didn't wait for Lu Bu to answer, and immediately said: "Lv Bu is a villain. I took him in back then, and he took my Xuzhou. If Cao Gong took him in, he took Cao Gong's Yanzhou , so what? At that time, Duke Cao will have no one to rely on, might you persuade Lü Bu to return Yanzhou to Duke Cao?"

"Big-eared thief! A man stands upright, death is not a pity, kill him if you want, why humiliate me!" Lu Bu stared.

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao with a smile on his face: "Dr. Cao, you should think twice. If Mr. Cao can control such a person, nothing will happen. If there is no one to lead this person one day, the world will be chaotic. Mr. Cao doesn't want to leave trouble behind." ?”

"Haha..." Lu Bu laughed loudly: "Liu Bei, Liu Bei! Everyone in the world calls you a modest gentleman, a honest person, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable. Compared with Long Fei, you are less magnanimous. It's better, it's better!"

Lu Bu's words made everyone feel that they were just right.And Liu Bei smiled slightly, and sighed: "Who am I, Liu Bei? Everyone in the world has their own judgment, so don't bother to ask your elder brother for advice! Since you are under Cao Gong's command, you have to think about Cao Gong. Whether you listen to Cao Gong or not depends on Cao Gong and my words." After finishing speaking, everything depends on Duke Cao's decision!"

Cao Cao is a little difficult to deal with, and Liu Bei's words are not unreasonable.Although this Lu Bu is not as bad as Liu Bei said, but he is still worried. Lu Bu is a fierce horse with a violent temper. Now that I can control Lu Bu, if my children and grandchildren can control him a hundred years later?This question put a big question mark in Cao Cao's mind.The country that I have worked so hard to build must not be buried in Lu Bu's hands.

Cao Cao thought for a long time, and everyone was waiting for his order.Lu Bu's life was in the hands of Cao Cao, and his life and death depended on Cao Cao's words.After a long time, Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes, and said calmly: "Bai Ling is ten feet long, send the offering first and go on the road first!"

A soldier took a ten-zhang white silk, Cao Ren took it, glanced at Lu Bu, smiled at him, tied a knot, and put it around Lu Bu's neck.Lu Bu nodded, stepped on the female wall, and looked back at Cao Cao and Liu Bei: "Cao Cao, I, Lu Bu, will not hesitate to die. I advise you, Liu Bei is a hero, so don't stay!" After saying that, he jumped.Cao Ren gripped this end tightly.In the surprised eyes of everyone, the warrior who is known as the best in the world, Wen Hou Lu Bu, struggled a few times and hung upright on the white gate tower.

Note: The Baimen Tower is the south gate of Xiapi City, so the gate tower is built with white buildings, so it is named "Baimen Tower". This time, the author moved the Baimen Tower to Pengcheng.
