The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 418 Each has a hole card
As soon as Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's face, he showed a very embarrassed expression, as if he had been hijacked by Dongfang Sheng.

However, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to the actor-level Liu Bei, but set his sights on Dongfang Sheng.

"Meng Ren, we have come to this point after all." Cao Cao sighed and said, "If you can dismount now and accept the surrender, I will not blame your faults in the past, and at the same time, I will recommend you to His Majesty as a general!"

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the general was basically regarded as the highest honor of military generals, and he was the head of military generals, ranking higher than the Sangong. This condition of Cao Cao can be said to have paid a lot of money.

As soon as this condition came out, not only did Liu Bei, who was on the side of Dongfang Sheng, cast an expression of envy and hatred, but even Cao Cao's camp was also jealous, and some people even expressed their dissatisfaction with muffled groans.

Dongfang Sheng didn't even think about it, so he refused: "Mr. Cao treats me like this. It really makes Meng Ren fearful. It's a pity that I am also a stubborn person. I don't know how high and earthy I want to compete with Mr. Cao."

It might be tempting to switch to someone else, but Dongfang Sheng knows very well that there are basically few airborne leaders who can sit still.

What's more, Dongfang Sheng is not alone now, and he has a group of subordinates who are counting on his promotion and fortune. Sometimes when a person is in a high position, he doesn't just live for himself, or for his family, he lives for a group of people. people live.

Cao Cao seemed to have expected Dongfang Sheng's decision a long time ago, and said helplessly, "I want... hey, I will take good care of your family!"

Dongfang Sheng didn't panic, but Liu Bei stood up first and said, "Prime Minister, listen to me."

Cao Cao glanced sideways at Liu Bei and said, "What's Xuande's opinion? Your name is on the bloody edict this time."

Hearing Cao Cao's unfriendly tone, Liu Bei murmured that it was not good, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "This matter is just that Bei was confused for a while. Now that Bei has come to his senses, I hope the prime minister will not care about it."

The life Liu Bei most wanted to save was that he had no territory now, so it was no big deal for him to surrender to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't pay too much attention to Liu Bei, but he was a little wary of him. Now that Liu Bei is subdued, Cao Cao can't kill him by the way.

"Okay, you can step aside for now." Cao Cao waved his hand and said.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cao Cao's words, and immediately retreated cautiously with his troops.

Dongfang Sheng also ignored Liu Bei who surrendered before the battle. After all, everyone's way of life is different, and no one is good or bad.

As soon as Liu Bei left, Guo Jia commanded the infantry behind him to push out a colorful chariot from their phalanx. This chariot looked like a Thunderbolt chariot, but upon closer inspection, it was found What was loaded on the top of the chariot turned out to be an extra-large three-pronged dart.

It seems that this is Cao Cao's trump card against himself. Dongfang Sheng is awe-inspiring. It seems that Cao Cao has not been idle in the past few years, and has invested a lot in the research and development of weapons. This is all due to his own influence.

"The name of this car is Thunderbolt Chariot." Cao Cao explained, "Once fired, the three-pronged dart on the car will roar out, like a hurricane sweeping by, neither man nor horse can compete with it!"

Looking at the sharp edge of the dart, Dongfang Sheng absolutely did not doubt Cao Cao's statement.

But Cao Cao has a hole card, is Dongfang Sheng gone?

When Cao Cao finished speaking and expected Dongfang Sheng to be soft, Dongfang Sheng took out a cylinder from his arms. This was a small moso bamboo. it is good.

There is no connection between the bamboo nodes of moso bamboo. If it is cut off from the top and bottom, then the middle section will be a completely airtight container.

Seeing Dongfang Sheng take out a piece of moso bamboo, Cao Cao asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Dongfang Sheng shook the moso bamboo in his hand and said, "I'll set off some fireworks for Cao Gong, I hope Cao Gong will accept it with a smile."

After finishing speaking, Dongfang Sheng didn't wait for Cao Cao to react, and directly lit the wire above the moso bamboo with a torch.

boom!
Dongfang Sheng threw the piece of moso bamboo in front of Cao Ren and Cao Hong who were behind. Before the two Caos could react, a thunderous sound sounded directly in front of the two Caos.

At the same time, accompanied by flying bamboo fragments and a strong smell of gunpowder permeated the air.

Although Cao Ren and Cao Hong were also veterans who had experienced many battles, they were startled in this situation. At the same time, the horses under their crotches panicked and ran around.

Looking at the ground again, a dark pothole is emitting curling green smoke.

Cao Cao asked incredulously, "What is this...?"

"You can call it a bamboo thunder!" Dongfang Sheng said with a smile, and at the same time another bamboo thunder was thrown up and down in his hand.

Although Dongfang Sheng brought homemade explosives this time, Dongfang Sheng accidentally discovered that someone was selling long-haired bamboo here, so he bought a large number of long-haired bamboo, and made a batch of bamboo thunder overnight.

This bamboo mine is well sealed. You only need to drill a small hole in it to pour gunpowder into it, then insert the lead wire and seal the hole with wax oil. The homemade bomb produced in this way is more powerful than the one developed by Ma Jun before. .

This move completely shocked everyone present, even Tuobahan and the others were stunned.

"Mr. Cao, can I leave first?" Dongfang Sheng asked the lead wire on the bamboo thunder near Huo Zhezi, "It would be bad if it delays my time to go home."

Guo Jia on the side originally wanted the archers to kill Dongfang Sheng with cold arrows, but when he saw the soldiers behind Dongfang Sheng holding a bamboo thunder, Guo Jia immediately dismissed this idea.

"It's a failure, a failure!" Guo Jia looked up to the sky and sighed. At the same time, he only felt a tightness in his chest, and he spit out a mouthful of old blood, and then he fell back straight, unconscious.

"Bong Xiao!" Cao Cao immediately got off his horse and helped Guo Jia up. At the same time, he shouted to Cao Ren and the others: "Open the city gate and let Meng Ren go."

Dongfang Sheng has the trump card of bamboo thunder. If there is no army to suppress it, it will not work. In addition to Dong Cheng's matter, although Cao Cao suppressed it in the fastest and bloodiest way, Xudu still became turbulent. The dissatisfied gentry clansmen are ready to move, and Cao Cao really can't delay here for too long.

Therefore, considering various factors, Cao Cao could only let Dongfang Sheng go.

Dongfang Sheng nodded to Cao Cao, and then galloped away with his men and horses without hesitation.

After leaving the city, Dongfang Sheng and the others threw away the piece of moso bamboo in their arms. It was impossible to have a bamboo mine in such a short period of time, so Dongfang Sheng wisely sawed off a lot of bamboo knots and distributed them to others. After the soldiers under the command took a finished product to frighten Cao Cao, the soldiers under the command took out those diabolo knots and successfully deceived everyone.
