From the beginning of Xiahou Yuan's sneak attack to the end of Cao Cao's signal for the archers to stop shooting, Lu Bu was hit by twenty-six arrows. In addition, when he was one against four, he was injured by Xiahou Dun and Gao Shun, so tonight Lu Bu was hit by
A total of twenty-eight more wounds.
The twenty-eight wounds were so horrifying that ordinary people couldn't bear to look at them, and they didn't dare to look at them. But when Lu Bu was about to die, he was able to burst out the little energy left in his body and make a last-ditch effort against Cao Cao.
, which made everyone even more shocked at that moment!
Unfortunately, Lu Bu finally stopped breathing the moment before his halberd pierced Cao Cao's head.
Fortunately, Fang Tian's painted halberd failed to penetrate Cao Cao's head, allowing Cao Cao to save his life.
I'm afraid Cao Cao would never have imagined that he would encounter such a dangerous moment in his life, so that his complexion could not return to normal for a long time after he stood up.
Naturally, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were the two people who felt the most guilty. As close servants, they put their master in such great danger. They were absolutely to blame for their deaths. Although Cao Cao kept trying to get rid of them, after all, everything was wrong.
It started from Cao Cao's insistence on going to see Lu Bu's body alone. At that time, Cao Cao thought that if he went to see a dead man and had to be accompanied by two strong and sturdy bodyguards, he would be laughed at if this spread. Therefore
Insisting on leaving Dian and Xu aside, the two of them suffered this disaster. For Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they had no fault at all, but they just couldn't care less. Looking at the guilty looks on their faces, they probably all
He secretly made a vow that even if Cao Cao wants to leave Gongdu in the future, he must accompany him.
Now that Lu Bu is dead, there is no suspense in the rest of the battle. Of the one thousand people Lu Bu brought, nearly two hundred surrendered, and the remaining eight hundred or so people were all killed in battle. Among them, the three hundred Flying Bear sergeants, except Hu
Except for Che'er being captured alive, the rest of the soldiers were completely wiped out by the pressing and siege of the trapped camp, and the trapped camp paid the price of 103 soldiers. Song Xian and Wei Xuer generals followed Lu Bu
He entered Cao's camp and was captured by Cao Ren and Xu Rong respectively in the battle. Afterwards, Cao Cao recruited Hu Che'er, Song Xian and Wei Xu to surrender. The three of them expressed their willingness to surrender, and Cao Cao awarded them the title of school captain.
"All armies disperse and rest. Early tomorrow morning, Xiaopei will be captured!" After everything was done, Cao Cao said to the armies.
——————————————————————————————————In Xiaopei City, everyone was waiting for news from Lu Bu but had not received it yet, so they roughly
It can be guessed that Lu Bu and his party are in danger.
Lu Bu set out at the end of Haishi, and now it is almost Yinshi. How can it take so much time just to rob the camp? More than two hours have passed. Not to mention just robbing the camp, you are...
The entire Cao camp was occupied, and this time was almost enough.
"Everyone, I'm afraid the prince will not come back..." Chen Gong looked sad and slowly said to everyone, "Tomorrow morning, Cao Cao will definitely launch a fierce attack. What should you do? Is it right?
Should Cao's army fight to the end, or should he lead these thousands of remaining soldiers to retreat to Xiapi at night?"
There was a trace of pathos in Chen Gong's tone. He felt sad for Lu Bu. Although Lu Bu was not very kind to him, and his attitude became even colder after the defeat of Yanzhou. But Lu Bu was his chosen lord after all.
He has been serving for a long time, and now it is almost certain that he will be in trouble, so how can he not make Chen Gong feel depressed and sentimental.
If it were not a critical moment and he would try his best to stay as calm as possible, Chen Gong would even have the urge to burst into tears.
Everyone looked at each other, it was already midnight, and there was not much time before dawn. If a decision was not made as soon as possible, it would be too late by the time Cao Cao's army came to the city.
"It is better to lead the army back to Xiapi quickly and concentrate our troops to consolidate the defense of Xiapi for the final victory." Chen Dao was the first to express his opinion.
The other generals also spoke one after another, and most of them were in favor of withdrawing to Xiapi.
Seeing this, Chen Gong nodded and said: "In this case, I would like to ask you to go back quickly to prepare for evacuation. In half an hour, you will quietly lead your army to retreat to Xiapi."
Chen Gong originally had the idea of heading to Xiapi for a decisive battle with Cao Cao, but Lu Bu had passed away. Chen Dao, who was originally just a general sent by Liu Bei to assist in the battle, now vaguely occupied a more powerful place in the city.
Important position. Therefore, Chen Gong felt that it was necessary to know a thing or two about Chen Dao's opinions. Since Chen Dao had the same idea as his own, it was naturally the best.
—————————————————————————————————— “Brother, are you going to follow Chen Gong and the others to Xiapi like this?”
Somewhere in the military camp in Xiaopei City, a tough-looking man was whispering to Lu Bu's general Zang Ba.
"What can we do if we don't go to Xiapi?" Zang Ba was a little surprised when he heard his words and asked the other party.
The man's surname was Sun Mingguan, and his courtesy name was Zhongtai. He was a special general under Zang Ba. He was quite brave, but he also had a delicate mind, so he was deeply valued by Zang Ba. Although Sun Guan was Zang Ba's deputy, the two
They have a close personal relationship, and although they are not sworn brothers, they treat each other as brothers.
"Brother, do you think Xiapi can be defended?" Sun Guan heard Zang Ba's question and did not answer immediately, but asked further.
"Although the city of Xiapi is high and deep, Cao Cao's army is more numerous and powerful, with strong soldiers and horses. In addition, with many weapons and equipment to attack the city, Xiapi City may be able to hold on for a while, but it will eventually be breached." Zang
Ba Luo thought for a moment and then replied.
"That's exactly what you said!" Sun Guan saw that the heat was almost over and began to get to the point gradually, "Since we know that the city cannot be defended sooner or later, why should we accompany Chen Gong and the others to Xiapi? Besides, Liu Bei's most important person is his brother Guan Yu.
, Zhang Feiye. The eldest brother was originally a general under Junhou's account, and Junhou and Guan and Zhang had always had a quarrel. So even if the eldest brother joined Xiapi, how could he be taken seriously by Liu Bei? If he was just not taken seriously, then how could he be taken seriously by Liu Bei?
That’s all, what’s worse, you might even receive sarcastic remarks from the other party.”
"Brother Xian, what you mean is..." Zang Ba could vaguely guess Sun Guan's current thoughts from his words, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"The eldest brother took advantage of his troops and captured Chen Gong and Chen Dao when they were unprepared, and took control of Xiaopei City. At daybreak, open the city gate and invite Duke Cao to enter the city!" Sun Guan said firmly.
.
Although he was mentally prepared, Zang Ba was still shocked when Sun Guan said it himself.
"It's so inappropriate...It's so inappropriate..." If he does this, his reputation as "unrighteous" will be confirmed. Although Zang Ba is not a righteous person, he doesn't want to end up like this.
A name that is disliked by everyone.
Sun Guan knew Zang Ba's concerns and continued to explain: "Reputation is nothing more than external things. Think about Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. In the past, they were not the first-class generals under the king's command. After he was captured in Yanzhou, didn't he surrender to Cao early?
Well, and I heard that he seems to be doing well in Cao Ying. With the ability of the eldest brother, after being defeated by Cao Cao, there is no chance to make achievements. When the eldest brother makes great achievements, his notoriety will naturally be covered up.
I’ll be noticed again.”
If I had captured Chen Gong, and Chen Da and the two of them had opened the city to surrender, would their nature be the same as Zhang Liao's? He had been captured and then surrendered, but he had taken the initiative to surrender, captured his colleagues, and offered the city to claim credit.
This level of badness seems to be far beyond that of Zhang Liao by several streets.
