Call of the Deer

Chapter 541

(ps: Brothers and sisters, recently, because of the graduation season, I have been busy with mundane affairs and have no energy to update, so I have been delaying until now. I am sorry. I will hurry up and finish the dictionary as soon as possible in the next ten days. Hope you all Forgive me!)
"My lord, no. Alright, the city is broken."

When Cao Cao and others were resting in the City Lord's Mansion, a personal guard rushed in and said out of breath.

"What's going on? Tell the truth!"

Cao Cao's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he pretended to be calm and scolded in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, the Chu army is so powerful that General Xiahou Dun can't hold it back and has already entered the city. General Xiahou ordered the younger one to send a message telling the king to prepare to withdraw from Yecheng."

The guard trembled when he heard the words, and then told Xiahou Dun exactly what Xiahou Dun had ordered.

"Pfft, Chunyu Qiong missed me."

"withdraw"

Cao Cao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his breath became weak, and he said the word "withdraw" weakly, and then passed out.

Immediately, [-] to [-] Wei troops, led by Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and other generals, quickly withdrew from Yecheng and retreated to Seoul in the east.

In this battle, the Chu army lost nearly [-] elite troops, and the Wei army also lost nearly [-] powerful troops.

Ascending the city wall, Overlord Xiang Yu faced the east, wearing a black cloak fluttering in the wind, his long hair on the sideburns was disheveled in the wind, domineering and majestic;

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu has prepared a banquet, and please move her to the inner mansion."

At this moment, Concubine Yu slowly climbed up the city wall, stood behind Xiang Yu and stared for a long time, then shouted softly.

"Oh, Yu Ji, it's windy outside, follow me back to the inner mansion."

As soon as Xiang Yu saw Concubine Yu, his eyes immediately turned into countless tenderness, and he gently stepped forward to hug Concubine Yu, walked down the city wall at a fast pace, and walked towards the inner mansion.

In Seoul, the officials were extremely anxious. The Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers walked back and forth outside Cao Cao's bedroom anxiously. A group of civil servants were also absent-minded, looking at Cao Cao's bedroom from time to time.

"Doctor, how is it? King Wei is safe?"

"Doctor, how is the master? Is there a serious problem?"

Seeing the doctor coming out, Xia Houyuan grabbed the doctor by the collar and asked viciously.

At this time, a group of other civil servants also gathered together, looking at the doctor eagerly.

"My lords, my lords, King Wei's health is fine, but he fell into a coma because of the rush of fire. I prescribed a prescription, half an hour after taking the medicine, King Wei will definitely wake up!"

The doctor shrank his neck, and then he wrote the prescription with fear, and handed it to Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun snatched it over, looked at it twice, and immediately sent someone to grab the medicine.

Sure enough, after taking the medicine, Cao Cao woke up faintly, staring blankly at the beams of the room, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Miaocai, Yuanrang, Zilian, Zihe, you four come in, you have something to say!"

"Your Majesty, you are feeling better."

The four of them came in with all their brains when they heard the words, knelt in front of Cao Cao's bed, and asked with concern.

"Gu is fine, the four of you immediately arrested Chunyu Qiong, this person misled me and caused Yecheng to fall, if you don't kill this person yourself, it's not enough to vent Gu's anger!"

Speaking of Chunyu Qiong, Cao Cao's dark face showed a flush of color, which shows that Cao Cao's anger was surging at this time, and it was not reduced by the coma.

But in a moment, the pale-faced Chunyu Qiong was brought over by the generals of the Cao family.

"My lord, this battle is not the crime of the last general. The Chu army is too aggressive, and there are strong generals such as Overlord Xiang Yu, Yang Zaixing, and Gao Chong. I hope the lord will spare your life."

In order to survive, Chunyu Qiongzhi was able to grab the land with his head and beg for mercy.

"Hmph, clever words, if you hadn't said that Yecheng is as solid as gold, how could the lonely king believe you, he would definitely send heavy troops to supervise the battle in person, how could the Chu army take Yecheng easily? Come here, take the lonely sword, and Gu will personally Kill this thief to vent the anger of thousands of soldiers!"

Now that he decided to kill Chunyu Qiong, Cao Cao naturally would not continue to listen to him arguing about right and wrong, and with one strike of his sword, Chunyu Qiong's head was hung on the wall for three days.

At the same time, the Wei army stepped up preparations and built fortifications, while escorting grain and grass from Xudu to Seoul, making plans to stick to it for a long time.

Qiongzhou, Chen Ping and Zhang Yi divided their troops into two groups and went to Yu Wenyong in Qizhou and Gao Changgong in Duozhou respectively.

In Qizhou, the territory of Yu Wenyong, the king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Chen Ping finally felt the Yujing City, the king's city of Qizhou, after traveling through mountains and rivers.

"Who is here, why do you want to see me?"

Yu Wenyong was dressed luxuriously, but he couldn't conceal his heroism, and stared sharply at Chen Ping who was standing below.

"Chen Ping, under the command of King Wei in Xiaxizhou, pays homage to the King of Northern Zhou!"

Chen Ping bowed to worship, but found that Yu Wenyong had no intention of letting him get up, and he was not angry, so he explained the purpose of this trip.

"Next time I'm going north, I'm bringing the King of Wei's letter of alliance, and I'm here to pay my respects to the King!"

"A letter of alliance? With whom? Could it be that you want to form an alliance with this king?" Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyong, king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, stretched his sleeves for a while, stood up and turned his back to Chen Ping, showing his disdain.

"It is precisely to form an alliance with the king!"

Chen Ping was not angry either, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"It's such a joke in the world. My overlord is attacking Xizhou now, but your lord sent you to the north. What kind of nonsense is an alliance letter? Do you think I will betray my lord and form an alliance with Cao Cao?"

Yu Wenyong looked at Chen Ping contemptuously, with an imperceptible trace of fear and killing intent flashing on his face.

"No, I don't think Your Majesty will betray the Overlord who is in full swing, because Your Majesty would never dare!"

Chen Ping looked at Yu Wenyong calmly, and then uttered wild words, bluntly saying that the king of Northern Zhou did not dare.

"Hahaha, I'm so disappointed. Your aggressive method is useless to me. You're right. I just don't dare, because I'm afraid of death!"

The look in Yu Wenyong's eyes became more and more contemptuous, as if he was very disappointed with Chen Ping's aggressive method.

However, Chen Ping's expression remained calm, and he didn't seem to have much hope for the radical method.

"Then please go back!" Yu Wenyong was about to turn and leave after speaking.

"Since the king is afraid of death, why should he wait here to die?"

Just as Yu Wenyong turned around and lifted his foot, Chen Ping suddenly said such a nonsensical remark, Yu Wenyong's face changed drastically, and the step he had just taken stopped there, and Jiu Jiu just stepped on it.

"What do you mean by this? Why does this king wait for death if he doesn't betray? If you don't say why, today is your death day!"

For a long time, Yu Wenyong had a secret that could not be known to outsiders, so he did not hesitate to kill all the insiders, including his own sister, and what Chen Ping said recently touched that string.

Yu Wenyong looked at Chen Ping fiercely, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Hehe, there is no need for the king to be angry, he will naturally tell the truth later!"

Chen Ping chuckled, thinking that I finally took the initiative, right?Immediately looking to the left and right, Yu Wenyong understood.

"Stand back, anyone who dares to break in without my king's order will be killed!"

Yu Wenyong snorted coldly, and then looked at Chen Ping with an unkind expression.

"My lord, the world doesn't know your birth, but paper can never contain fire, so there are still people who know that your mother is Hu Renfangting."

Chen Ping laughed lightly, sat on the seat beside him, and opened his mouth with the shocking news. Yu Wenyong's eyelids twitched when he heard the words, and murderous intent spewed out.

"If your majesty wants to kill me, please be patient and don't be impatient. After I finish speaking, whether to kill or cut me up, your majesty will do it yourself!"

Chen Ping remained unmoved, and smiled lightly at Yu Wenyong who was already holding the hilt of his sword.

"The next time I went north, I didn't come here to die in a daze. Your Majesty can even fight with his own siblings, let alone someone else?"

"So as long as I can't get out of Yujing City today, tomorrow, the news that you are a barbarian will probably reach the ears of the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty. You also know how much the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty hates the barbarians. Do you think he will tolerate a barbarian?" Sit on the throne of the Han people? Whose side do you think the Overlord will stand by then?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Ping looked at Yu Wenyong, who was livid and full of murderous intent.

"Do you threaten me?"

Yu Wenyong gritted his teeth and said, but the hand holding the hilt of the sword was unable to pull out the long sword for a long time.

"It's not about threats, it's about forming alliances, cooperating with each other, and defending against powerful enemies together!"

Naturally, Chen Ping would not bluntly say that he was just threatening you, if Yu Wenyong came to his death, it would really be a steal.

"Okay, even if the king agrees to form an alliance, do you think that with the strength of me and the king of Wei, I will be Xiang Yu's opponent?"

Naturally, Yu Wenyong would not agree directly, but wanted to see what King Wei had to do to deal with it.

"Hehe, to be honest, there is even Zhang Yi who went north with me this time, and he has already asked to see the King of Lanling in the next step. If you add the King of Lanling, do you think it is possible to compete with the Overlord with the strength of the three parties? strength?"

Chen Ping chuckled, and told Yu Wenyong the news that Zhang Yi had gone to see Gao Changgong.

"Gao Su has always hated barbarians, how could he agree to rebel together? It's just nonsense!"

Yu Wenyong's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked with a clear face.

"Hehe, don't worry, Your Majesty, Zhang Yi will naturally not tell King Lanling about the news of your meeting with the barbarians!"

How could Chen Ping not know Yu Wenyong's careful thoughts, so he hurriedly said with a smile.

"Then how to persuade Gao Su to join me in the army?"

Yu Wenyong's expression softened when he heard the words, he was very puzzled, and asked.

"Gao Su has always been with His Majesty, so His Majesty needs to personally take action on this matter, but we will also assist one or two. As for the specifics, His Majesty will find out when he arrives in Jinyong City."

Chen Ping made a fool of himself on purpose, which made Yu Wenyong quite unhappy, but now that Chen Ping has a handle, he can only suppress his anger in his heart.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi also met Gao Su. Dealing with Gao Su was not as easy as Yu Wenyong. After all, Gao Su has never had ambitions and is proficient in military affairs. The only people who can start with him are the people around him.

And Gao Su has an older brother, Gao Xiaoyu, who is extremely handsome, no worse than Gao Su, but he is romantic and good at reciting poems, so he often hangs around young men's places
With the assistance of Neiying, king of Wei, conflicts between Gao Xiaoyu and the Xiang clan were quickly created, and under the lobbying of Yu Wenyong who happened to come, Gao Su could only agree to cooperate with Yu Wenyong to raise troops.

But Xiang Yu, who was far away in Xizhou, didn't know that the two generals under Qiongzhou's command were already plotting a rebellion (to be continued)
