The four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters do not accept my words but punish my heart
Xudu City, South Gate.
There are many soldiers standing on the city gate, and the big flag with the word "Cao" spread out in the wind, as if they are ready to go.
Xun Yu came here a long time ago to inspect the city defense.
Standing next to him were some generals who were not very famous...
Similarly, hidden under the solemn military appearance are three thousand old and weak soldiers stationed in Xudu City!
It can be said that Xun Yu at this moment is Xu Ducheng's only support, his only support!
call…
With a long exhale, Xun Yu's face didn't look good. Half an hour ago, he heard that the vanguard of the bandits had reached Rangshan. Counting the time, it was almost time to reach the south city gate, right?
The current situation reminded him of the past... Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, Lu Bu's sneak attack on Yanzhou, and the governor of Yuzhou Guo Gong led a hundred thousand elite troops to attack.
At that time, it was Xun Yu who was stationed in Juancheng for Cao Cao!
Xun Yu especially remembers...
At that time, there were only three thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Juancheng. Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, proposed to meet Xun Yu out of temptation. All the generals advised him, "You have a town in this state, and you will be in danger if you go there, so don't do it"!
However, Xun Yu overcame all opinions and went to the appointment. Three thousand people were surprised, and he had the aura of a hundred thousand people!
This made Guo Gong think that Juancheng was prepared and evacuated immediately.
It can be said.
It was precisely because of this incident that Cao Cao's trust in Xun Yu was raised to a whole new level.
Only, this time...
Liu Bei is not like Guo Gong, and... Liu Bei's use of troops this time has a perfect timing, and it comes at the right time!
"Xun Lingjun, look quickly..."
On top of the city tower, the lieutenant beside Xun Yu was named Zhao Rong, whose courtesy name was Zhichang. He was from Hanyang County, Liangzhou. In the past, he was one of the Eighth School Lieutenants of Xiyuan along with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Chunyu Qiong, etc. He had defected to Cao Cao very early.
, but his abilities are limited and he always acts as a city defender!
Mi Heng, a big troll, once said - "Xun Dan has good looks, but he is so young that he can make the chef treat guests!"
This means that Xun Yu is good-looking, while Zhao Rong's only skill is to be a kitchen manager...
I never thought that this time... the safety of the whole city, and all the hopes, were focused on this "good-looking" scholar and this "student in charge of the kitchen".
Zhao Rong reminded...
Xun Yu looked into the distance, and saw among the flying sand and rocks, a group of thousands of cavalry came over, led by a dark general who stood out.
Xun Yu knew that it was probably Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!
Seeing this, Xun Yu's face became even more solemn.
"Why does the opponent look like a Yellow Turban thief?" Zhao Rong asked doubtfully. "Then... the one who takes the lead is probably Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide from Hulao Pass who can fight Lu Bu, right?"
Two questions in a row are both questions from the soul.
Xun Yu sighed "Alas". "Yes, half of them are Zhang Yide... As for those people dressed as the Yellow Turban Army, I think they are the bandit soldiers stationed in the mountains of Runan. In the past... we never treated them
I thought it was a threat, but I never thought that because of Liu Bei, these traitors would actually become a big threat!"
Xun Yu's tone was somewhat unwilling.
There are Yellow Turban troops in Runan City. This is not a secret in Cao's camp.
But... Cao Jun's strategic direction was either in Yangzhou occupied by Yuan Shu or in the northern border occupied by Yuan Shao. No matter which one, they cleverly avoided the land of Runan!
Or these Yellow Turbans are too weak to look down on...
It is also because of this negligence that the current unfavorable situation has occurred.
"Xun Lingjun? Then... we..."
Don't wait for Zhao Rong to speak.
Xun Yu's eyes were condensed and he just chanted eight words - "Hold the city and wait for reinforcements!"
As soon as I finished speaking...
——"Report...Xun Lingjun, it's not good...it's not good!"
A soldier quickly climbed onto the tower and reported the news immediately.
Seeing that his expression was so urgent, Xun Yu didn't dare to neglect and rushed towards him...
"What happened?"
"This..." The soldier stumbled and seemed to have deliberately waited for a few breaths before speaking... "South City Gate... South City Gate..."
Mentioning the South City Gate, Xun Yu's mood suddenly rose to his throat, and he hurriedly took another step closer.
Never thought...
The soldier suddenly pulled out a knife from his hand and thrust it straight into Xun Yu's heart.
quick…
Too fast.
Xun Yu didn't react, but when Zhao Rong saw the soldier raising his hand, he subconsciously pushed Xun Yu. Even so, the knife stabbed Xun Yu firmly in the body.
For a moment, blood flowed out!
"Um...you...why? Why?" Xun Yu covered his wound and asked the pawn in front of him in disbelief. He has always been kind to others and has never had any enemies!
Ha ha…
Who would have thought that this little pawn couldn't stop laughing. "Xun Wenruo, it's in vain that you have been reading the books of saints since you were a child, and you have been taught by Confucianism. The world calls you a model of scholars, a clear stream among clear streams, but what Confucius said about 'loyalty to the emperor', Dong Shengren
Have you forgotten all about the 'divine right of kings'? If you help Cao Cao, you are acting as a savior... I will do justice to heaven by assassinating you!"
When it comes to this topic, Xun Yu is so clear, how could he not understand it?
This knife was... stabbed to him by Han Ting!
Neutrality... means a neutral attitude and stance. Will Han Ting not let him go?
Speaking of which…
In fact, Han Ting may not really want to hurt Xun Yu.
But now, Xun Yu was Xu's capital city's support. If he made a mistake, he would be more sure of destroying the city and ushering in the emperor.
"Take it..."
Zhao Rong shouted, and the soldiers on the left and right hurriedly came to meet him...
Who would have thought that this little pawn has no fear at all.
"Hahaha…"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
"I was born a Han Chinese and died a Han official!"
He laughed and jumped directly from the city wall several feet high.
This is the deterrence of the two words "Emperor". Even if...these two words...the real power is now declining, no matter when, this name will still exist in vain, and it will be deeply engraved on the names of the nobles, nobles, and scholars.
In the world of experience.
In the eyes of many people, those who oppose the emperor are rebellious ministers, and those who help the emperor, even if they die, will be remembered in history!
"ah…"
The screams stopped suddenly, and in a matter of seconds, the pawn who jumped into the city fell into the mud!
"this…"
Zhao Rong was startled. He quickly turned around and helped Xun Yu up. "Xun Lingjun? How are you? How are you..."
"Hurry...go to the medical office and call for help. Go to the medical office and call for miracle doctor Zhongjing!"
"No...quickly...let the soldiers go to the south gate!" Xun Yu covered his wound.
As if... because of Zhao Rong's push, he avoided the vital part. Although he bled a lot, it was not fatal...
Similarly, how wise is Xun Yu?
From this assassination, we can already see... the entire actions of Han Ting and Liu Bei!
Assassination is the first step, but it is by no means the last step!
Just then.
Suddenly a voice shouted from the tower.
——"Who opened the South City Gate?"
——"No...I don't know!"
——"I don't know where a group of people came from and took over the protection of the South City Gate..."
——"Ah...there is a spy...ah..."
In an instant, wails and shouts of death came from the south city gate.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the suspension bridge at the South City Gate has been lowered.
And these sounds, these images... were like poisonous needles stabbed into Xun Yu's heart without restraint.
"It's terrible, it's terrible..."
Just when he thought about this, Xun Yu felt a sudden pain coming from his chest, and then... he fainted under the severe pain.
At this critical moment, when the sky over Xudu City was covered with a heavy haze, Xun Yu actually fainted!
but…
"Huh? That's..."
Zhao Rong was surprised to find that at the front of thousands of thieves, there was a group of Dragon Knights... only about twenty people, and... two women!
At this time, they were very close to the city.
Zhao Rong recognized one of them at a glance. Wasn't that... Cao Sikong's most beloved eldest daughter, Cao Mu?
She... why is she here!
All of a sudden, the beads of sweat on Zhao Rong's forehead became even bigger and thicker!
…
…
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
Under the south gate of Xudu City, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
"The thieves are about to chase us, what should we do? What should we do?" Cao Mu shouted quickly... "'Kong Ming,' you should think of a way!"
Zhuge Jun seemed to be angry.
Just now, Cao Mu chose the horse of a handsome dragon knight knight instead of his horse, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Huh, why don't you ask? Where is that handsome knight behind you?" Zhuge Jun replied, and after finishing speaking, he turned his face to the other side angrily.
For a moment, Cao Mu was stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "When did this happen? You...what are you thinking about?"
Zhuge Jun felt uncomfortable, but still deliberately did not turn his head to express his stubbornness.
That's how people are, often...when they don't lick the dog, they become more popular.
only.
When he looked up and saw the suspension bridge at the south gate of Xudu City falling and the door wide open, Zhuge Jun was speechless.
Obviously, these suspension bridges are not meant to welcome them?
Because... there are soldiers fighting at the city gate behind the suspension bridge.
Now, even by thinking with my toes, I can tell that something big has happened.
"Oops…"
Zhuge Jun thought to himself.
He turned around and looked at Cao Mu...
Cao Mu asked, "What? Aren't you angry with me?"
Zhuge Jun sighed helplessly. "How long has it been? How can I care about getting angry?"
"I can't tell...you, a boring gourd, can also eat..."
Before the jealous word "jealous" came out of his mouth, Zhuge Jun's voice was heard. "You two will send the two girls into the city through the west gate first, and the others... turn around!"
Ah... turning the horse's head, Cao Mu was stunned. Behind them... there were more than a thousand thieves in total?
And... is Zhuge Jun going to lead the Eighteen Dragons to face the enemy?
Before Cao Mu could ask questions...
Zhuge Jun's voice came out again.
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you see the rebellion at the South City Gate?"
At this time, the eighteen Longxiao camp soldiers stopped their horses. After Zhuge Jun reminded them, they realized that something big was going to happen!
"I, 'Zhuge Kongming'... am a close disciple of Commander Lu, please believe me once!"
Zhuge Jun's voice continued.
only…
When the words "Commander Lu closed his disciples" came out, the eighteen Knights of Longxiao Camp immediately regarded his words as if they were gods.
In such a situation, we can only listen to him.
"Master Zhuge...what should we do?" Youlong Xiaoqi asked.
"Follow me..." Zhuge Jun immediately waved his whip, turned the horses' heads with the eighteen horsemen, and changed their route towards the rebels.
stop…
They must stop this bandit, otherwise, once they enter the city... who knows, what will they do?
The entire Cao Ying civil and military family, old and young, are all in Xu Ducheng!
Cao Sikong’s wife, Master Lu’s family…
And Master Cai...Master Cai is also there. She...if she makes a mistake, so what...how can she explain it to Master Lu?
Zhuge Jun is not a warrior, even... his combat power is about the same as Lu Yu, the highest is no more than 5!
But faced with such a situation, his eyes were extremely determined!
"drive…"
——"Kong Ming..."
Cao Mu exclaimed, for the first time, she found that...the "Kong Ming" in front of her was so manly, just like...just like Lu Yu
For the first time, because of Kong Ming, her heart began to feel a beating that could only happen when she met Lu Yu.
only…
Isn’t this a mantis trying to trick a car?
"What on earth are you going to do..."
"hehe…"
Zhuge Jun didn't even bother to answer Cao Mu. He bit his lip with his teeth and disappeared in front of Cao Mu in just a moment.
"You...you..."
Cao Mu was still shouting, and even reached out to catch Zhuge Jun, and even... wanted to make the horse she was riding turn around.
Never thought...
The Long Xiaoying soldiers behind her stopped her.
"Miss Mu has a special status. She is Commander Lu and an extremely important person in Longxiao Camp. There cannot be any mistakes. Miss Mu should return to Xu Capital City first!"
this…
Cao Mu knew that the importance mentioned by this soldier was referring to the "forging workshop".
As the master of the forge...
She is too important to Lu Yu and Longxiao camp.
It's just..."Kong Ming" he...
"drive…"
"Dede, dede... da da da..."
The war horses neighed, followed by the sound of horse hoofbeats. The knights of Longxiao Camp did not dare to enter Xudu City from the south gate and galloped towards the east city gate.
Xia Houjuan, on the other hand, although she didn't say a word... was greatly shocked, especially when she saw Zhuge Jun and the Eighteen Dragons leaving the camp.
She doesn't understand what kind of feelings can make these people "fly into the flames" without hesitation, and "take advantage of the mantis' arms to ride on the chariot" without hesitation!
…
…
In Jizhou and Yecheng, in the prison cells, torches were swaying and groaning sounds could be heard one after another.
A prison guard walked in quickly, still holding wine in his hand. He walked to Tian Feng's cell and made a gesture to his men to open the door. Then, he stepped in front of Tian Feng and said: "Don't drive me, sir.
You are really good at predicting things!"
Tian Feng is still studying, reading bamboo slips... reading ancient books.
Hearing this, he raised his head. "What's going on? Just tell me..."
The prison guard helped Tian Feng fill a bowl of wine and then said loudly.
"Master Biejia, you said that Yinlin has many tricks and tricks, and is good at attacking people's hearts... If the lord goes south to attack Cao, he will definitely see through it and he will definitely lose!"
"Sure enough... Urgent news came that my lord was defeated in Guandu, and 600,000 troops and horses were destroyed. I heard that less than a thousand people fled back to Liyang, north of the Yellow River. Lord Shenfu has already led troops from Yecheng to rush for reinforcements.
"
Tian Feng closed the bamboo slips, looked at the prisoner, lowered his head and sighed: "How I wish I was wrong, but unfortunately I was right again!"
The warden brought the wine bowl in front of Tian Feng. "I think in a few days, the lord will re-enable you!"
hehe…
Hearing this, Tian Feng said "hehe" and smiled...
"You don't understand my lord. My lord is generous on the outside and jealous on the inside. He is moody." Tian Feng sighed repeatedly: "If our army defeats Cao's army, the lord will be happy and will immediately forgive me regardless of the past grudges.
He has entrusted me with important tasks again, but now that my lord has been defeated, he must be very angry. As the saying goes - if you win, you will have no power, if you lose, you will not be protected. Alas... my life will not be long."
Speaking of this, Tian Feng paused for a moment, raised his head, looked at the sky through the window of the prison, and said with emotion: "Everyone is prosperous, and everyone is harmed. If you don't accept my words, you will kill my heart. What can I do!"
Shaking his head…
Tian Feng shook his head repeatedly.
The warden wanted to say something, but at this moment.
"Tap tap tap..."
Continuous footsteps came from the entrance of the prison.
Another prison guard came, his face was gloomy, and when he saw Tian Feng...his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was unwilling to do so. "Farewell, my lord, orally, Tian Feng has committed an act of disobedience and disobedience to the emperor. He is not guilty."
He can be pardoned and ordered to commit suicide."
As he spoke, he held up a sword in both hands...
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Wu Fuchai sent someone to give Wu Zixu a carved sword and said, "Use this sword to commit suicide!"
King Gou Jian of Yue gave the same sword to Wen Zhong who dedicated "Nine Arts to Defeat Wu" and said, "You taught me nine skills to defeat Wu. I used three of them to defeat Wu. The sixth is in my hands. I will follow you."
The first king tried it." Wen Zhong committed suicide after hearing this!
Today’s people don’t see the moon in ancient times, but today’s moon once illuminated the ancients…
The same tragedy happened to Tian Feng again.
"Haha..." Tian Feng smiled. "Can you tell me? Is this Xu You? Or is it Guo Tu who instigated the lord?"
The prison guard lowered his head and said nothing, not daring to answer.
Xu Yuan, who was in the cell next door, shouted: "How could it be my uncle... If uncle E had not been abandoned, how could Mr. Yuan have suffered such a defeat in Guandu!"
call…
The two jailors breathed lightly but remained silent. This... is a tragedy from beginning to end!
"I understand..." Tian Feng stood up. "Prisoner, please bring me a pen and ink. I want to write a suicide note to my lord!"
"Yes..." A prisoner seemed to have expected this, and quickly put the pen and ink in place!
Tian Feng wrote furiously... When he finished writing the last word, he put the bamboo slip away, handed it to the jailer, and immediately said, "I have a request."
“Don’t drive but it’s okay to say so!”
"Later? Can you allow me to kill myself under the starlight? I want to take a last look at this celestial phenomenon..." Tian Feng said.
The warden cupped his hands and said, "Respectfully!"
After saying that, the two guards took Tian Feng out of the prison, but... Xu Yuan was lying on the wooden railing to witness this scene.
He didn't know that the defeat of Guandu was closely related to his uncle, but what he knew was that Tian Feng, who had made great contributions to Yuan Shao's sweeping of the four northern states, had now ended up like this, so... what happened to him and his uncle...
"Gudong" sound!
Swallowing a mouthful of water...Xu Yuan's eyes seemed to have suddenly fallen into the abyss of eternal destruction, despair...full of despair!
Never thought that it would be at this moment.
"Pap..."
There was a crisp sound on the ground, and then... the floor seemed to be a little loose.
Then came the cracks. Countless cracks quickly opened on the floor of the prison, and these cracks continued to expand...
Xu Yuan covered his mouth in shock, and was even more shocked that he did not dare to make any sound.
The sound on the floor was loud, but it didn't shock any of the guards!
This is because…
Yecheng ordered Shen Pei to lead troops to rescue Yuan Shao in Liyang. Yecheng did not have many soldiers, and the same was true for this prison.
finally…
With a "boom", the ground was dug through... Xu Yuan looked inside in shock and saw a familiar person.
"Mas?" he exclaimed...
Mas was Sima Yi's pseudonym in the Xu Mansion. Not only was he called "Mas", but what's more, he was mute and lame!
