King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 268

In the third year of Jian'an, AD 198, Duke Zhao of the Great Han Dynasty and General Liu Yu who conquered the North died of illness. Bingzhou has been stabilized, but Xuzhou in the south is still in the bloody storm...

Cao Cao successfully occupied more than half of Xuzhou by using the north-south attack strategy, and pushed Lv Bu close to Xiapi. Lv Bu himself lost to Cao Cao, so he couldn't hold out. Lv Bu knew that this day would happen to him, so there were troops in Xiapi Fifty thousand, food and grass can be used for half a year, coupled with Lu Bu's bravery and Chen Gong's resourcefulness, Cao Cao's army was unable to attack for a long time, so he could only look at Xiapi City in front of him and sigh.

"Hey...... Feng Xiao! I don't know how long Lu Bu will last, our army is running out of food and grass..." Cao Cao sighed in the big tent.

"Hehe, my lord! If it wasn't for Chen Gong's obstruction, maybe my lord would have persuaded Lu Bu to surrender!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao in a relaxed manner.

"Hmph! This Chen Gongtai actually hates me so much! I respect him so much!" Cao Cao said bitterly. Gong unexpectedly appeared at the top of the city and scolded Cao Cao loudly, as if Lu Bu had no choice but to retreat to the city...

"My lord, why don't we send letters persuading us to surrender in Xiapi City, as long as we only have Lu Bu, the other soldiers will not be held accountable, and maybe they will be appointed officials and ranks, so Ali can confuse Lu Bu's army!" Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao nodded, "That's the only way!"

Cao Cao wanted to shoot a letter into the city of Pi. Lu Bu was furious when he saw it. Lu Bu was already full of anger, so now he just lit the fire and whipped his soldiers every day to vent. A small matter may cause the soldiers to be killed. There are also many grievances in the city.

Under Cao Cao's persuasion, Lu Bu wanted to surrender, but Chen Gong and others strongly opposed it because they felt guilty against Cao Cao, and said to Lu Bu: "Mr. Cao came from a long way, and the situation cannot last long. Outside the city, I led the rest of the troops to close the city gate. If Cao Cao attacked the general, I would lead the troops to attack Cao's army from behind; Attack and defeat Cao Cao."

Lu Bu agreed with him, but Lu Bu's wife, Yan Shi, said to Lu Bu, "In the past, the Cao family treated Chen Gongtai like a baby, but Chen Gong still left Cao Cao and joined us. Now the general's treatment of Gongtai has not surpassed Cao's. But do you plan to leave the whole city and go away alone with your wife and children? If something happens, can I still be the general's wife?"

So Lu Bu had no choice but to give up, but secretly sent someone to ask Yuan Shu for help, and personally led more than 1000 cavalry out of the city.Yuan Shu couldn't save him either.Although Lu Bu was brave and fierce, but he had little plan and narrow-mindedness and was more suspicious. Without Chen Gong's advice, all the generals were suspicious...

Afterwards, Guo Jia and others expected that the city of Xiapi had already left the mountain, so Cao Cao accepted Guo Jia's suggestion. Although Shui did not lose Xiapi, Lu Bu's defeat was imminent.

Lv Bu's subordinates, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu, should be treated as a target by the angry Lv Bu for a small matter. Even Lv Bu's important generals will be severely punished, so all the generals under Lv Bu He rebelled, but he was afraid of Lu Bu's bravery and did not dare to act rashly. He planned to tie up Lu Bu and surrender to Cao Cao under the cover of night.

That night, Lv Bu's generals rebelled. When Lv Bu was unprepared, he was tightly bound by the rebel generals. Chaos immediately broke out in Xiapi City. After Lv Bu's wife Yan Shi and others knew about the chaos in the city and the generals rebelled, they knew for a hundred years that something was wrong. If he didn't escape, he would be killed by everyone, so he fled with the rest of his family and Lu Bu's beloved daughter.

Among the rebellious army, the Yan family was actually killed by a rebel general. Lu Bu's daughter also panicked, and suddenly grabbed her with one hand and said, "Lingqi! Come with me, we will leave the city from the north of the city!"

Lu Lingqi looked back, her eyes turned red and she lost her way, and she mourned, "Ah...Second Madam!"

"Come with me!" This person is Lu Bu's concubine, Diao Chan. After following Lu Bu, it is also very good to have a relationship with Lu Bu. Diao Chan has managed countless disasters. This time, she is already very calm Now that the Yan family is dead, Diao Chan looks at Lu Bu's only daughter in front of her, and what she thinks in her heart is to save her life!

Pulling Lu Lingqi, Diao Chan ran all the way while avoiding the soldiers under the rebel general's command. Now Xiapi was in chaos, and the general who was still loyal to Lu Bu fought with several rebel generals. The army mutinied, and the soldiers outside the city Cao Cao was reported early on that there was a great chaos in Xiapi city. Cao Cao immediately shouted, "Haha! God help me, order troops immediately, and follow someone to attack Xiapi!"

"Slow down!" Military advisor Guo Jia came out to stop him, "My lord, although there is chaos in the city, there are still many soldiers under Lu Bu who are loyal to Lu Bu. The situation in the city is unclear now. I don't know if it is really chaos or Chen Gong's plan. If our troops attack rashly, they might be ambushed!"

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes! What Feng Xiao said makes sense, but someone is reckless! Then what should our army do now?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Hehe, my lord, you don't need to do anything, you should go to sleep. When tomorrow morning, the victory in the city has been decided, our army can go to the city. If Lu Bu's rebel generals win, our army will be defeated." If you can successfully accept Xiapi, if Lu Bu's loyal side wins, then you will lose your army, and Lu Bu will not be able to fight against the lord. It is certain that Xiapi will be breached with a single attack!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Okay! Fengxiao's words are wonderful! Just follow Fengxiao's words, okay, let's go, I'm sleepy too!" Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and retreated slowly...

But in Xiapi City, the chaos has become more and more chaotic. Many soldiers took advantage of the chaos to snatch the property of the people in the city, and then fled and stopped serving as soldiers. Diao Chan finally brought Lu Lingqi to the north gate, and saw the north gate. Quiet, yet there was no disturbance, Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi were both out of breath, just when they wanted to take a rest, suddenly a white-armored general walked out of the shadows, Lu Lingqi was startled, and immediately yelled out "Ah! Second Madam, look quickly!" He pointed at General Bai Jia.

Diao Chan stroked Lu Lingqi's head, and comforted, "Lingqi, don't be afraid! Lingqi, don't be afraid!" Then Diaochan stood up slowly, walked a few steps, and said to General Bai Jia, "General Gao Shun, you are here to deal with us. Or come to kill us?"

It turned out that General Baijia was Lu Bu's General Zhonglang, the commander of the county and town battalion, Gao Shun, and Gao Shun immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Ma'am, Miss, I am here to save you two! The rebel general at the North Gate has been taken under my command." The county is defeated by the camp, please follow the second wife and young lady out of the city as soon as possible!"

Diao Chan nodded and said, "Thank you, General!" Turning around, she pulled Lu Lingqi up, and said, "Lingqi, quickly follow General Gao Shun!"

Lu Lingqi mourned, "The world is so big, where is our shelter, and Cao Jun is all around, where should we go?"

Diao Chan was also taken aback. She didn't expect a little girl to say this. In fact, Lu Lingqi's life was very bitter. Lu Bu defected to many lords and married three fathers. Every time, she took Lu Lingqi around. Running around, this also left a shadow in the heart of the young Lu Lingqi. Now that Lu Lingqi is about to run away again, she can't help sighing.

Gao Shun said, "Second madam, miss, let's go! There is chaos in the city, and the rebels will catch up in a while. I only have a few hundred people under my command, so I can't resist it! Why don't you take Madam and Miss to Huaineng Yuanshu's place?"

Diao Chan immediately said, "No, my husband has already taken refuge in Yuan Shu, and there was a betrayal. Later, Yuan Shu's son wanted to marry Lingqi, and my husband regretted it several times. If we go to vote for Yuan Shu now, we will definitely be killed. In addition, Yuan Shu is now lawless and proclaims himself emperor. One target will be him! Even if we go to Yuan Shu to be safe for the time being, we will be dragged down by him in the future!" Although Diao Chan is a female stream, but she is actually in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are fooling around, and her vision is naturally somewhat of.

"Then... where are we going?" Gao Shun asked suspiciously.

"It's better to go to Hebei and join Liu Yu!" Diao Chan said after thinking for a moment.

"This... Madam, go wherever you want! Gao Shun nodded and said, Gao Shun is extremely loyal to Lu Bu's family. Although Liu Bei's power is gone now, Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi in front of Gao Shun are Lu Bu's first concubine and daughter. Gao Shun must be kept, this is his responsibility, and also his repayment for Lu Bu's kindness.

"Okay! Let's go!" Diao Chan said.

"Ma'am, it's strange to get on the horse!" Gao Shun said while leading the horse.

He quickly opened the city gate, taking advantage of Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and other rebel generals not rushing over, Gao Shun led Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi, and rushed out of Xiapi with 800 camps under his command. Hou Cheng and others saw him in the mansion There was no sign of Lu Bu's family. When they chased to the north gate, only the open city gate was left, and the corpses of soldiers all over the ground were all killed by the trapped camp...

On the second day, sure enough, Cao Cao led the army to arrive. Hou Cheng and others spent one night defeating the remaining soldiers of Lu Bu in the city, and took control of the whole city. Seeing Cao Cao's army attacking, they immediately opened the city and surrendered. In front of him, Lu Bu didn't panic. After seeing Cao Cao, he easily asked Cao Cao if he could untie himself.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The tiger must be tied tightly." Turning around, Cao Cao wanted to tell the people around him to untie Lu Bu...
