Seeing Lu Chang leave with an aggrieved look, Dong Cheng sneered. Cao Cao died in the battle. The generals of the Cao family were outside and fled. There were not many Cao family members in Xuchang City at the moment. Even if they had some military power, as long as they were appeased.
After Lu Bu, are you still afraid of these people? If these old Cao Cao men are willing to continue to serve the court, it will be fine. If they are stubborn, let Lu Bu kill them all one by one!
Thinking of how he had knelt down in front of Cao Cao in the past, and even his generals could show off their power in front of his cavalry general, now looking at these old Cao Cao troops, Dong Cheng felt inexplicably happy in his heart!
"General, these are Cao Cao's family papers. I don't know what to do with them?" A general came to Dong Cheng with a group of crying women.
Cao Cao's family scroll?
Dong Cheng looked at these Cao Cao family records and was a little disappointed that he could not find the Bian family, but it didn't matter. Although Cao Cao's short and short son didn't look like much, his vision was not bad. The concubines in this family were all good beauties.
He was still worried about how to choose a beautiful woman in such a short period of time. Now, isn't this possible?
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes were attracted by one of the women. He couldn't help but walk up to the woman and reached out to lift her chin.
The woman raised her head, instantly making Dong Cheng feel breathless. How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world? Just looking at her like this, Dong Cheng actually had the urge to strip her naked, hold her in his arms and ravage her fiercely.
It is said that Diao Chan, Lu Bu's concubine, is as beautiful as a fairy. I am afraid that this girl may not be inferior to her, but may even be better than her.
"What's your name?" Dong Cheng suppressed the possessive impulse in his heart and looked at the woman and asked.
"I, Mrs. Zou, was originally the wife of the hussar general Zhang Ji. I was going to Sikong to conquer Nanyang. When I met her by chance, I took her... Wuwu~" Mrs. Zou seemed to be sobbing when she said the last sentence, and she said no more.
The charming look made Dong Cheng feel itchy in his heart, and the possessiveness that he had just suppressed suddenly came back.
"Bastard!" Dong Cheng suddenly changed his expression when he heard this, and cursed with a look of indignation: "It turns out that she is the wife of an old friend. That Cao Cao is really hateful and a scum! Madam, don't worry, since you met me today, I will definitely take good care of Brother Zhang."
you!"
When the Emperor returned to the East, both Dong Cheng and Zhang Ji were among the escorting generals. They were both Dong Zhuo's generals before. Although Zhang Ji later left, it is not wrong to say that they are old friends.
Zou just cried. She thought Cao Cao could bring her a lifetime of wealth, but she didn't expect Cao Cao to die like this. Cao Pi didn't want to take her with him, so he naturally had to find a way out.
Although Dong Cheng was sanctimonious at the moment, how could a woman like Zou, who was used to seeing men, not know what she was thinking in her heart? She neither accepted nor refused, but just cried.
"This woman is the wife of my old friend. She was forced to come here by the thief Cao. It is fate that she met me today. Please send her back to my mansion immediately. I will take care of her on behalf of my old friend!" Dong Cheng recruited two cronies.
, and asked them to escort Mr. Zou into his residence. If there was nothing else to do, he really wanted to follow her back directly to show her love.
"Here!" the two guards agreed, and put Zou into a carriage, and then drove to Dong Cheng's residence.
On the other side, Lu Chang left Sikong Mansion with a livid face, but the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Although Cao Chun left with Cao Cao's family documents, most of the Xuchang garrison were still Cao Cao's old troops. Not to mention that Cao Cao was right, even if he was wrong, Dong Cheng should not have gone to Cao's mansion to embarrass a group of women so blatantly!
Bully others!
If this is the case for Cao Gong's family, will they, the old members of the Cao family, still have a good life in the future?
This tone became more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it. Lu Chang's pace suddenly quickened, but instead of going to defend the city, he went to the military camp with a gloomy face to order troops.
"Children?" Xu Ding and Cao Peng came over with bandages. Seeing Lu Chang's appearance, they were a little confused: "But the thief Lu is here to kill?"
The two had a great battle with Wei Yan. Later, in order to kill Cao Cao, Wei Yan used Chunan's army formation to get rid of the two and go straight to Cao Cao. The two saw Cao Cao dying in the battle. Cao Peng wanted to fight, but was blocked by Xu Ding.
All the way back from the army.
It's just that the two of them were slower than Cao Chun. When they came back, Cao Chun had already led the three Cao Pi brothers out of Xuchang.
When they came back, Wei Yan, who was behind, had led the vanguard to attack. They were preparing to defend Xuchang and fight to the death with Lu Bu. When they saw Lu Chang ordering troops, they thought it was Lu Bu's army that had arrived, and they all came out to prepare for battle.
"Lü Bu's troops have indeed arrived at the city!" After Lu Chang finished speaking, he picked up his weapon and said, "But I am not going here to fight Lu Bu, but to kill the traitor!"
"?" Xu Ding frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"The heroic soul of Sikong is not far away. The chariot general Dong Cheng did not want to kill the enemy and serve the country, but at this time he took the opportunity to confiscate Sikong's property and humiliate his daughter. I couldn't swallow this tone, so I led my troops to discuss it clearly with him.
!" After Lu Chang finished speaking, he took the others and prepared to leave.
Although Dong Cheng is called General of Chariots and Cavalry, and his position is higher than that of the Three Dukes, in Xuchang, just because you are an official does not necessarily mean that you are powerful. A person like Dong Cheng actually has no real power. He is called a general but has less than a hundred soldiers under his command.
Although generals like Lu Chang do not have high positions, they hold real military power in their hands. In these troubled times, whoever has soldiers in hand will be tough in his words.
When Cao Cao was around, there were still people who suppressed these arrogant and powerful generals, but now that Cao Cao is gone, these generals have become unruly wolves, and they cannot bear the injustice.
"What did you say!?" Upon hearing this, Cao Peng stepped forward and grabbed Lu Chang, roaring angrily.
"Then Dong Cheng confiscated Sikong's property and humiliated his daughter in Sikong's mansion. If you don't believe it, just go and see it yourself!" Lu Chang threw Cao Peng's arm away and snorted coldly.
"Wait a minute!" Without saying a word, Cao Peng took his gold-edged shovel and asked someone to bring his war horse. Regardless of his injuries, he got on his horse and said, "I'll go with you!"
"Isn't Xun Lingjun in the court? How could these people be allowed to touch the lord's family papers!" Xu Ding also got on his horse and asked in confusion.
"Now that Sikong has died, it's not clear which way Xun Lingjun's heart will turn." Lu Chang snorted coldly and galloped on his horse.
Cao Peng and Xu Ding didn't look good either. They each shouted angrily and followed Lu Chang towards Sikong Mansion.
On the other side, when Xunhe heard that Dong Cheng did not go to the treasury to collect the reward, but ran to Sikong Mansion, he suddenly felt something bad and rushed over. However, he saw Dong Cheng letting people roll Cao Cao's daughter into the car.
There was even Cao Cao's daughter. Seeing this, Xun Yu's expression changed and he shouted: "Dong Cheng, what are you doing?"
"So it's Xun Lingjun?" Dong Cheng saw Xun He. If it were before, he would naturally be afraid of Xun He, but now that he saw him again, he was not afraid anymore. He nodded with a smile and then replied: "Your Majesty should also know.
, the treasury is now short of money, far less rich than Sikong Mansion. Now it is very important to retreat from the enemy, so I have no choice but to bring people to Sikong Mansion to spend some money."
"Then what do they mean?" Xun pointed at the Cao family girl's scroll, his hands trembling a little.
"Gong Cao is dead, and these women's papers left here are just a waste of time. Besides, doesn't Gong Cao also encourage the people to marry this widowed woman? I am also following Gong Cao's order!" Dong Cheng said with a smile.
"You..." Xun You was about to scold him. Did he really think that after Cao Cao died, Xuchang would be able to let him do whatever he wanted? But before he could say anything, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from a distance, and his expression changed slightly, with hatred.
He glared at Dong Cheng and said, "It's not enough!"
Dong Cheng couldn't care less about the retort at this moment, he also saw the menacing troops approaching from a distance.
In the blink of an eye, three generals, Lu Chang, Xu Ding, and Cao Peng, came with a large number of troops and surrounded Dong Cheng's troops.
"You want to rebel!?" Dong Cheng was not even half as arrogant as before. He subconsciously took out the emperor's edict and said with a stern face: "I am a general of chariots and cavalry, and I am here on your majesty's order! If you take another step forward, I will be treated as the same.
rebellion!"
"Emperor?" Cao Peng sneered and raised the gold-edged shovel and said: "If it weren't for my brother, he would still be digging holes in Luoyang as emperor. Now that my brother died fighting for him, he wants to seize my brother's property in the blink of an eye!?
Emperor, what will you do if I disobey you?"
"Shut up!" Xun You's expression changed when he heard this, and he took a step forward and shouted: "This is not your Majesty's intention, but the cavalry general's own decision! The three generals, now that Xuchang is facing a powerful enemy, it is time for them to work together to fight together.
Lu Bu, avenge Sikong! You shouldn't kill each other here!"
"Xun Lingjun, can we still trust you?" Xu Ding stared at Xun You and said coldly.
They naturally believed in Xun He before, but now that Cao Cao is dead, Xun He went to the palace as soon as he came back. It is not clear where his heart is.
"It's trustworthy." Xun You nodded.
"Then get out of the way and let us kill this person first. If this is not the emperor's intention, then killing him will teach him to prove his innocence." Lu Chang looked at Dong Cheng and said solemnly.
Dong Cheng swallowed his saliva and looked at Xun He. If these three people really took action, he would have no way to survive. He could only rely on Xun He now.
"It is true that he was ordered to bring property to appease Lu Bu and order him to temporarily retreat. However, His Majesty's intention was to select the property from the treasury, and the women were also selected from the palace maids. It is indeed inappropriate for this person to avenge his private revenge." Xun or in Dong.
Cheng said with despairing eyes: "But at this time, we should put the overall situation first and defeat Lu Bu first. As for Dong Cheng, please believe that the three generals will give an explanation to the Lord's spirit in heaven afterwards!"
The three of them hesitated, and Xun asked, "Why, you don't even want to believe what I say?"
Lu Chang waved his hand and asked the soldiers to disperse. He cupped his fists at Xun You and said, "Of course we are the ones who ordered you, but please don't forget what you said today."
"Of course not!" Xun You nodded, then looked at Dong Cheng and said, "If you haven't gone to see Lu Bu yet, why don't you wait until Lu Bu enters the city?"
Dong Cheng looked at Xun Yu, then at the three generals, gritted his teeth and nodded, turned around to leave, but was stopped by Cao Peng, who slapped him in the face and made him spin around twice.
"How dare something like a dog invade Sikong Mansion?"
Dong Cheng's eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't dare to say anything and left quickly with a gloomy expression...
