Cao Thief

Chapter 249
Blood flowed down the horse's back, quickly staining the ground red.

A family on the chest was shattered, and a wound extending obliquely from the chest to the abdomen was clearly visible.Blood mist spurted from the wound, staining Lu Bu's cheeks red.The painting pole and halberd in his hand seemed to be extremely heavy, which made Lu Bu feel a little strenuous.He thought of many kinds of endings, but he didn't think of this kind of ending.Sneak attack... That's right, the majestic tiger, in the end, was killed by a sneak attack...

A burst of anger suddenly welled up in my heart.

Lu Bu raised his head to the sky and let out a roar, and the Chitu Sifeng Beast also let out a shrill cry.

"Guan Yu, take your life!"

Lu Bu roared, swung his painting pole and halberd, and rushed towards Guan Yu.

At this moment, Guan Yu didn't even have the strength to stand up.Watching the red rabbit rushing towards him, Danfeng's eyes widened involuntarily, and a look of despair appeared on his gray face.It never occurred to him that Lu Bu still had strength left after suffering such a serious injury.

"Second brother, get out of the way."

Zhang Fei rushed over and couldn't help shouting when he saw this scene.

It's a pity, Guan Yu didn't have the strength to dodge at this moment. He watched Lu Bu rushing forward, and the painting pole fell with a halberd, so he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Ding, a hand halberd flew over and hit the painting pole halberd.

The huge force caused the painting pole halberd to break away from the original trajectory, sticking to Guan Yu's body, and sank into the ground with a pop.

The Chitu horse then stopped, and Lu Bu sat on the horse's back like this, his body remained in the posture of swinging his halberd, motionless.

Guan Yu sat in the ruins with a plop as if he had collapsed.He looked up, but saw that Lu Bu's face was normal, his tiger eyes were wide open, but he had no breath at all.For some reason, Guan Yu was furious, got up and rushed over, pushing Lu Bu off the horse.Lu Bu's body fell into the dust, and the painting pole and halberd fell to the ground.Guan Yu picked up the big knife, and with the knife in his hand, he was about to cut off Lu Bu's head.At this moment, someone yelled loudly: "Guan Yu, you are already dead, why bother to ruin the corpse again."

Following the sound, Guan Yu looked.

Seeing Dian Wei wearing heavy armor, he urged his horse forward.

With a mocking look in his eyes, he snorted coldly, jumped off his horse, bent down, and picked up the hand halberd that fell on the ground.

It turned out that the person who rescued Guan Yu just now was Dian Wei.

"Although Lu Bu is unbearable, he can be regarded as a brave man. If you kill him, you will kill him. Why bother to destroy his body... Today, the tiger died, but I don't know when I will meet this kind of person again. Come, come The body of Marquis Wen was collected, and all the weapons and horses were taken away."

There was a hint of pity in Dian Wei's words.

Speaking of which, he once had a face-to-face confrontation with Lu Bu, and he was also full of admiration for Lu Bu's martial arts.

Zhang Fei urged his horse to go forward, and when he heard that Dian Wei wanted to restrain Lü Bu's weapons and horses, he was furious.He jumped forward and stopped Dian Wei.

"Dian Wei, you are so shameless.

Lu Bu was killed by my elder brother, why do you want to take away the horses and weapons? "

Dian Wei's tiger eyes widened, his cloudy yellow eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted sharply: "Just because I am Dian Wei, do you want to stop me?"

Zhang Fei was furious, and was about to explode when Guan Yu called him to stop him.

"Third Brother Hugh is so rude, if it wasn't for Dian Zhonglang just now, I would have died by accident.

Dianzhong Lang, don't care about my brother.He didn't have any malicious intentions, but he was a bit reckless, just ask Dian Zhonglang to take the horses and weapons away. "

Dian Wei glanced at Guan Yu, nodded, and rode away.

Xu Chu, Xia Houdun and others came forward, greeted Dian Wei, congratulated Guan Yu, and led their troops away.

Zhang Fei dismounted, supported Guan Yu, and asked angrily, "Second brother, why did you put up with that Dian Junming just now? I'm not afraid of this guy."

"I know you're not afraid, but we're living under the fence now.

Dian Wei is also Cao Cao's confidant and favorite general. If you conflict with him, won't you cause trouble for your brother?And didn't you see it just now?Once you and Dian Wei fight, Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun will never stand idly by.Although your martial arts skills are superb, if you want to deal with the three of them joining forces, you may still have some shortcomings.I was seriously injured again, and when the time comes, I can only watch you die at the hands of the three of them. "

"They dare!"

Guan Yu snorted coldly, "They really dare.

Cao Cao has always been afraid of his elder brother, but because he has no chance to strike.If you did something just now, and they killed you, Cao Cao would not blame him, and even clapped his hands.Cao Jun is all around here, if something happened to you and me, wouldn't my brother be even weaker?Anyway, Lu Bu died at my hand, and even if they got the horses and weapons, they would never want to take credit for it.So, you don't need to argue with Dian Wei. "

Guan Yu's words left Zhang Fei speechless.

Although I am a little unwilling in my heart, I also know that how can a person not bow his head under the eaves.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet hard.

"Second brother, how is your injury?"

"It's okay..." Guan Yu said, and suddenly coughed violently, spewing out a mouthful of blood.

He let out a long breath and shook his head lightly, "I thought I had overestimated Lu Bu, but I didn't think so... It's also fortunate that he died, otherwise there would be no one in the world.

Let's go, after we reunite with brother, we will make further calculations. "

After all, Guan Yu walked slowly with Zhang Fei's support...

Behind him, Cao Jun's soldiers also began to clean up the battlefield.

——————————————————————————————————

"Lu Bu is dead!"

The moment the sound of war drums and shouts of killing stopped, Cao Peng felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

A generation of brave men died just like that!The number one military general of the Three Kingdoms has returned to his hometown.He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and looked at Cao Hong.

Cao Hong said softly: "Get ready, we are going into the inner city!"

Cao Peng nodded, turned and left.

He suddenly had an urge not to stay in the lower pi anymore.

When they returned to their camp, Gan Ning had already returned.

"Everything is arranged?"

"It's been arranged properly... Ziyou took over, and now it's almost a shame."

Cao Peng felt more or less relieved.

In any case, he at least kept Lu Bu's flesh and blood from being harmed.With his current ability, all he can do is this.

In fact, from the very beginning, Cao Peng never thought that Lu Bu could break out of the siege alive.

That's right, Lu Bu is very powerful.

With a horse under the crotch and a halberd in the palm of your hand, it is wrong to be a husband.But the problem is that at this moment, Cao Cao's tent can be said to have gathered the heroes of the world.Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang...including Cao Hong, which one is not brave and good at fighting?Not to mention, the three of them, Liu Guanzhang, are also not kind.With so many people gathered together, it would be a joke if Lu Bu was allowed to escape.

"After dawn, let's go to Xu County."

"Here!"

Cao Peng scratched his head, waved his hands and ordered, and marched into the inner city.

However, with Lu Bu's death in battle, the inner city has lost its ability to resist.Those soldiers who had no fighting spirit at all opened the gates of the city and put down their weapons automatically after learning the news of Lu Bu's death.Cao Peng and Gan Ning led three hundred black soldiers and entered the inner city through the southeast side gate.

Along the way, they only heard about Lu Bu's terrifying record.

Lu Bu led [-] dead soldiers to break through, killing and wounding more than [-] Cao's soldiers.Lu Bu charged all the way, beheading more than [-] Cao Junxiao generals, and seriously injured Guan Yu, a superb general like Guan Yu, before he died.And died in the hands of Lu Bu, those nameless Cao soldiers, let alone countless.

Even Gan Ning couldn't help shaking his head with emotion.

"Tiger, so brave?"

"It's a pity that my soul has returned to heaven."

Cao Peng sighed, and suddenly said: "Xingba, do you feel any regrets?"

"regret?"

"If I hadn't dragged you down, maybe you were the one who killed Lu Bu, not Guan Yu."

"What is there to show off about such achievements?" Gan Ning snorted coldly, with an expression of indifference.

Perhaps, he has heard about the process of Guan Yu killing Lu Bu.For Gan Ning, that kind of sneak attack is really not humane.

Cao Peng smiled, but did not speak again.

When the two passed through the gate of the royal city, they saw several guards escorting Chen Gong out.

"Mr. Chen!"

Cao Peng got off his horse and raised his hands to salute Chen Gong.

That Chen Gong glanced at Cao Peng, and only smiled slightly as a return of courtesy, but did not make a sound.

"What's happening?"

The guard who escorted Chen Gong said: "Just now Sikong persuaded him to surrender, but he was yelled at by him. There is no other way, Sikong had no choice but to order him to be killed... But he made a request, hoping to die in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu's body is now Stop at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we will take him to the execution."

Cao Peng watched Chen Gong's back leave, and let out another long sigh.

"If Chen Gong can assist Lu Bu from the very beginning; if Lu Bu starts from the beginning, he will follow Chen Gong's strategy. One is capable of martial arts and the other is capable of literature. If these two work together, at least one side of the princes can be controlled... Unfortunately, It’s really a pity that these two people are talented.”

Gan Ning said softly, "My lord seems to be quite emotional?"

"It's not out of emotion, I just feel that these two people... Forget it, let's not talk about it! Let's say goodbye to Cao Gong, and then rush to Xu County as soon as possible."

In the sky, there is already a fish-belly light.

Cao Cao sat high in the lobby, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

"Lü Bu's family is young, but they disappeared?"

Dong Zhao had a bitter expression on his face, "My lord, I am stationed in the inner city for the first time.

According to the servants of the Hou's mansion, in the evening, Lu Bu ordered them to go back to their respective rooms, and no one was allowed to show their faces.Therefore, no one knows where Lu Bu's family has gone.But I heard from them that there was a rebellion in the inner city a few days ago, Hou Chengwei Xu was killed by Lu Bu, and even his fake son participated in it.Later, Lu Bu's fake son was rescued and disappeared.

My lord, do you think it will be..."

Cao Cao asked, "The fake son of Lu Bu, do you know where he is now?"

"But I don't know."

"Check it out for me. You must find out who took Lu Bu's little one away."

Although Lu Bu died, Cao Cao didn't feel at peace in his heart.What kind of person took Lu Bu's family away under my nose without anyone noticing it?What is the purpose of this person?Or, did Lu Bu still have accomplices hiding in Xiapi?
This question lingered in Cao Cao's mind, which made him unable to let go.

At this moment, a soldier reported that Cao Peng, the commander of the army under the general's tent, asked to see him.

"What's the matter with him?"

"Cao Sima just asked, when will we leave for Xu County?"

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice, "Let him come to see me."

After a while, Cao Peng walked into the hall with great strides.

He put his hands together to salute Cao Cao, "The last general, Cao Peng, see Lord Sikong."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao didn't respond.Cao Peng's heart moved, and he took a peek, and saw Cao Cao was looking at him without blinking.

Those gazes, like two sharp swords, made Cao Peng panic for no reason.

On the surface, though, there's nothing wrong with him.

"Cao Peng, are you familiar with Zhang Liao?"

"It's not considered familiar, it's just that we met once... General Wen Yuan is very kind. At that time, he heard that Haixi was in chaos, and the last general and his brother didn't have any soldiers, so he gave me two hundred soldiers. Later, when he was fighting with pirates In the confrontation with him, it was of great use...Speaking of it, it's not that I have any friendship with General Wen Yuan, but the kindness is almost the same. So...the final general doesn't want anything to happen to General Zhang."

"I see!"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked again: "Then do you know that Lu Bu is in Xiapi, do you have any relatives or friends?"

Cao Peng showed a confused look, shook his head and said, "This...the last general is not very clear."

"That's it...then you go now.

It is certainly a good thing if you can say to surrender Zhang Liao; if you cannot say to surrender Zhang Liao, there is no need to force it.Come back quickly, I still have important tasks to entrust to you. "

From Guo Jia's mouth, Cao Peng vaguely heard that Cao Cao seemed to want him to stay in Guangling.

He stepped in and turned to leave.

When he had just reached the gate, he suddenly heard Cao Cao say, "Youxue, I heard that you know Lu Bu's daughter?"

There was a sudden thump in his heart, and Cao Peng felt a chill rushing up his spine, rushing to the top of his head... He tried to calm down, turned around and said, "I really know him."

"The child of Lu Bu's family is mysteriously missing now, who do you think is responsible for it?"

"This... pardon me for being stupid, I don't know about this."

"But you and Lu Bu's daughter, don't you know each other? I heard that she went to Haixi to play for a while... Do you think she went to Haixi?"

Cao Peng's palms were dripping with sweat.

He pretended to be thinking, thought for a while and said: "It should be impossible.

Earlier, Lu Bu and Haixi went to war, which can be said to have lost troops and lost generals.The Lu family hates me so much, how could they go to Haixi?

My lord, do you think that..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I just asked casually."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that Cao Peng could leave.

Turning around, Cao Peng rolled his eyes suddenly and felt his head buzzing.

This Cao Mengde really lived up to his reputation... He was so suspicious that he actually went from Lu Lan to Haixi, so he doubted himself.

Fortunately, I didn't let Lu Bu's family go to Haixi, otherwise they would be killed.

But the problem is, even if Lu Bu's family is hiding in Yuzhou Mountain, if they don't move out as soon as possible, they will be discovered by Cao Cao sooner or later.

Where should they escape?
After leaving Wangcheng, Cao Peng found that his underwear was soaked through.

"Xingba, is the lunatic back?"

"is back."

"Let him try to go to Yilu Township immediately and inform Uncle Zhou that once he receives the Lu family, he will be transported to Yuzhou Mountain immediately, and he must not stay on land."

Gan Ning was startled, and immediately understood the mystery.

"We're leaving right away, you go and get ready."

"Here!"

Gan Ning hurriedly turned around and left, Cao Peng also got on his horse.

Along the main street that runs from east to west, he led the people and quickly left the inner city.As soon as he walked out of the gate of the inner city, he saw a person flashing out from the side and grabbed Cao Peng's horse by the reins.

"Youxue, you are so courageous!"

Cao Peng only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and hurriedly looked closely...
