Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 189 There Has Never Been in a Faction
When the flood receded, Cao Cao led his troops into the city, and Lu Bu led his men to tie himself up to meet Cao Cao. "Mr. Cao, Lu Bu is willing to surrender."

Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu who had lost his appearance a little, and hesitated in his heart.Lu Bu said: "With Cao Gong's heroic strategy and Lu Bu's bravery, let me ask who is the opponent in the world."

Cao Cao looked at Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu, but none of them spoke, and Jia Xu even closed his eyes, pretending not to know anything.Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei again, "What is Xuande thinking?"

"Nothing, just thinking about Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo." Liu Bei replied.

Lu Bu laughed loudly: "Big-eared thief, it's hard for you to say these words. May I ask that you abandoned Gongsun Zan when you attached yourself to him, and came to Xuzhou to see Tao Gongzu and occupied Xuzhou again. What qualifications do you have to speak of me?"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and Lu Bu bickering with a smile.Cheng Yu suddenly whispered in Cao Cao's ear, "My lord, Lv Bu has a close relationship with the emperor, so we must guard against it." Cao Cao suddenly realized, yes, after accepting Lv Bu, if the emperor wins over Lv Bu again, Lv Bu will turn against him if he fails to keep him.

But this scapegoat, Cao Cao will not easily carry it.Big-eared thief, you want me to bear the reputation of killing Lu Bu, hehe, I will drag you into the water no matter what. "What do Yun Chang and Yi De think?"

"My eldest brother is a member of the Han family, how can you, a slave of the three surnames, be able to compare with him." Zhang Fei shouted, completely ignoring Liu Bei's obscure eyes.

Lu Bu smiled contemptuously, and did not argue with him, "Grand Cao, can you let me say goodbye to my family?" Cao Cao was caught off guard by Lu Bu's sudden request, and nodded in agreement.

Lu Bu came to Yan's side and whispered: "It's Madam who knows people with eyesight. I regret that I didn't listen to Madam's words and return Pengcheng to Zhou Cang, otherwise it would not be today. I entrusted my family to him, and I thought he would not betray me. , It’s ridiculous that I trusted an outsider in the end. You and Wei Xu can find an opportunity to go to Guangling and join him. Farewell!” Yan nodded tearfully.

Lu Bu stroked the top of Lu Qiling's head with his hands, took a deep look at Du Shi, and came to Cao Cao without saying a word, "It's up to you whether you want to kill or cut into pieces."

"My lord, I beg you to leave the whole body of my husband. I am willing to be a cow or a horse to repay my lord." Du Shi stepped forward.

Cao Cao ordered Lu Bu to be hanged, and took the opportunity to look carefully at Du Shi. As expected, he was as beautiful as a flower, and moved his mind, secretly ordered his confidants to send Du Shi to his camp.It is ordered to send Yan Shi back to the mansion without disturbing him.

The soldiers brought Gao Shun up again, and Gao Shun stood without kneeling.Cao Cao said: "I have already heard about the general's name, and the general is willing to surrender."

Gao Shun chuckled: "My lord is dead, how can Gao Shun survive in this world."

Cao Cao frowned: "The general is unparalleled in training soldiers, but Lu Bu can't use them. Why do you submit to him? You risk your life. If you surrender, I am willing to reorganize the camp. The soldiers are your choice and you will lead them."

"The trapping camp no longer exists." Gao Shun said calmly, "There has never been a trapping camp." Then he turned and ran to the execution ground.No one understood Gao Shun's words. In Gao Shun's mind, the trap camp was far from reaching the level in his mind. The main reason for this was that Gao Shun never had enough manpower, financial resources, and time to build a trap camp.

Cao Cao sighed: "A martyr too." He ordered Gao Shun to be killed.

The next one brought up was Wei Xu, who expressed his willingness to surrender, and Cao Cao was appointed as the school lieutenant.Wei Xu begged to contain Lu Bu's body, and Cao Cao agreed.So Wei Xu buried Lu Bu. On the left side of the tomb was buried Chitu Ma, and on the right side Gao Shun was buried.

Immediately after Zhang Liao was brought over, Guan Yu owed Zhang Liao a favor, at least Guan Yu thought so, and he ignored Liu Bei's eyes, stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Wen Yuan is superb in martial arts, Guan Yu begs Cao Gong to spare his life. "

Cao Cao was embarrassed and refused to agree to Guan Yu's request, so he came down to untie Zhang Liao himself, so Zhang Liao took refuge in Cao Cao's subordinates as a matter of course.Although Liu Bei was very nervous, Zhang Liao never brought up the matter of Pengcheng very righteously.

"Gongtai, I didn't expect to meet in this situation today." Cao Cao walked towards the last person left, Chen Gong.Chen Gong closed his eyes and didn't answer, Cao Cao was really embarrassed. "Is the public platform willing to surrender?"

Chen Gong finally opened his eyes, and looked at Cao Cao contemptuously: "Many people have died by your sword, and I'm not one of them." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes again and stopped talking.Cao Cao had no choice but to order Chen Gong to be beheaded and buried in honor.

Cao Cao ordered to reward the three armies.After some counting, although some of the food stored in Xiapi was washed away by the flood, there were still a lot left. Cao Cao distributed the water-soaked food to the people as a comfort.After finishing all this work, Cao Cao threw a big banquet, and after drinking a few glasses of wine with the generals, he hurried back to his camp to meet Du Shi.

Everyone was drinking, Guan Yu ran to find Cao Cao, but was stopped by Xu Chu, who inquired again privately, Cao Cao was meeting the newcomer, Guan Yu was extremely disappointed and went back to the camp to drink away his worries.Liu Bei and Zhang Fei already knew what was on Guan Yu's mind, so they didn't try to persuade him but just drank with Guan Yu.

After several months of continuous fighting, the battle finally came to an end. Cao Jun rejoiced from head to toe, whether it was celebrating the victory, saving his life, or just celebrating the fact that he could have a good meal of wine and meat and sleep soundly.No one paid attention to the Yan family. Wei Xu drove a carriage to the Lu Mansion. The Yan family took her daughter Lu Qiling in sackcloth and filial piety, and told the guarding soldiers that they were going to sacrifice for Lu Bu. Looking at the poor orphans and widows, the soldiers softened for a moment Agree to Yan's request, only let her go early and return early.Wei Xu stole Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd, and took his mother and daughter to Guangling overnight.

The next day, Cao Cao didn't get up until very late. He didn't take it seriously when he heard that the Yan family had escaped, and he didn't pursue the soldiers and Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian.He also rewarded Liu Guanzhang and the others heavily to seek some psychological comfort.Liu Bei was even more frightened, and repeatedly told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei not to cause trouble. Guan Yu sighed and felt helpless, but Zhang Fei held back his energy and wanted to regain his position.

After Liu Bei won several victories in a row, he became more and more low-key. Cao Cao calmed down the people everywhere, and when Liu Bei had nothing to do, he made bamboo hats to pass the time. Cao Cao's generals had almost all of them, and praised Liu Bei's good craftsmanship.Jia Xu exaggeratedly asked Liu Bei to make him an extra-large bamboo hat, which almost covered his entire face.Cheng Yu tried several times to get rid of Liu Bei but failed, the more he hated Liu Bei, the more low-key Liu Bei was, the more he felt that Liu Bei had plots and plans.

Xuzhou has been settled, and only Zang Ba in Langya has not been subdued. Cao Cao sent Cheng Yu to persuade him to surrender.Zang Ba saw that Lu Bu was dead and he was helpless, so he surrendered to Cao Cao under Cheng Yu's lobbying.Sun Guan was unwilling to surrender, and led a group of people to flee into Mount Tai and become bandits.

Cao Cao also ordered Yu Jin to join forces with Zang Ba to capture Taishan County, wipe out Sun Guan and other Taishan bandits, and appointed Zang Ba as the prefect of Mount Tai to confront Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.Order Yujin to patrol and monitor Yuan Shao along the south bank of the Yellow River, with Song Xian as his deputy.Yuan Tan's flank was threatened, so he sent his counselor Guo Tu to report to Yuan Shao who was still eating the turtle shell, asking Yuan Shao to end the war in the north as soon as possible and deal with the situation in the Central Plains.

So far, the strategic layout of conquering Guanzhong, defeating Yuan Shu in the south, and destroying Lu Bu in the east has been completed, and Cao Cao raised his army back to Xudu.
