"Master, it's useless to say too much. Please ascend to heaven quickly." Cheng Yu looked at Liu Xie without any emotional urging.
"Ah! My dear, let me go. Otherwise, what if I abdicate the throne to you?" Liu Xie was shocked and begged. Obviously, he had not yet figured out the situation.
"Bold Cheng Yu! My father is Prime Minister Cao. You will kill the lord against the flow when my father is not here. You will be dead and will kill the corpse! Destroy the nine clans!" Empress Cao also threatened her last.
Cheng Yu was impatient, waved his hand slightly, and said softly, "Send the Lord to heaven!" Cheng Yu's confidant left and right, without saying a word, went up and strangled Cao Cao's daughter Empress Cao and Emperor Liu Xie to death with white silk.
.
The concubines were so scared that they ran away, but they could escape? They died under the sword.
Cheng Yu ordered his confidant to pour tinder oil inside and outside the palace. He then asked him to escape on his own.
At this time, there were still 32 confidants who were following Cheng Yu. When he heard Cheng Yu's words, they all knelt down in the hall, kowtowed to Cheng Yu and said, "Sir. We are following you from Dong'a, if not the Sir.
.I have been waiting for the whole family, and I have long lost the hands of the Yellow Turban. Now I follow the great masters and enjoy the blessings of the tribe. We have no regrets. We live our lives, and we live our lives, and we die, and we are waiting for our lives. We are swearing to follow the great masters to the death.
I dare not leave each other!" After saying that, I kowtowed endlessly.
Cheng Yu was really moved when he saw his sincerity.
Why?
Who is Cheng Yu? For Cao Cao, he can do anything. Even Cao Cao's daughter and the emperor dare to kill him, and he is willing to kill him. Who else can't kill him?
What's more, killing Liu Xie means that in order to maintain a political advantage, Cheng Yu gave Cao Cao a future counterattack or retreat to create room for maneuver. With Cheng Yu's caution, how could he let these participants stalk?
As early as when entering the palace, Cheng Yu left most of his subordinates to take charge of the palace. He secretly issued strict orders, and anyone who went out would be killed. This only brought these absolute confidants to kill people recently. After the matter was finished, he would let them go.
He ran for his life and silenced him.
However, this is not because Cheng Yu is too cruel and has no human touch at all. Even Cheng Yu himself is not ready to live. It is because Cheng Yu has treated them differently if he doesn't personally order the killing of these confidants.
But now, these people who were destined to die and were destined to silence each other, expressed their desire to die with Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was an iron man, and he was inevitably moved.
Cheng Yu finally said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay. Today, you and I will die together."
As he was speaking, a military academy ran in and reported: "Report! Zhang Fei has led his troops to surround the imperial city and is attacking the yellow gate."
Cheng Yu smiled fiercely and said with a slight demeanor: "You follow me."
Cheng Yu climbed onto the inner city wall of the palace. At this time, Zhang Fei was organizing people to dismantle the giant tree and hit the palace gate. Cheng Yu stood on the city gate and shouted loudly: "Stop! The important place of the imperial city, who dares to act wildly here? Where is Zhang Fei? Nearby
get in a word!"
The soldiers around Cheng Yu shouted loudly out of Cheng Yu's words. Zhang Fei stopped the troops and shouted closer, "Cheng Yu! Xu Du has been broken! You are about to become a prisoner. Why don't you open the imperial gate quickly and let the
My old Zhang came out to take Shanyang Gong. But what happened to call me Old Zhang closer!"
Cheng Yu shouted sternly: "Zhang Fei! You lead your army to invade Kyoto. The unjust heart is obvious. Long live, don't want to be humiliated. In order to protect the dignity of the Han Dynasty, you hang your beam and die. Your evil! It's as great as the sky! Ten thousand people
Death is not enough to forgive his sins. After I die, I will turn into a powerful ghost and take your life!"
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand and his confidants immediately threw the torch on the ground. The ground had been splashed with turbulent oil, and it was covered with fire. Dozens of fire lights burned along the oil path, and then the fire light was immediately
soaring.
This time, it was a mess. Although most of the personal soldiers who entered the palace with Cheng Yu this time were the dead soldiers under Cheng Yu. When pouring tinder oil, they did not hesitate at all. But most of them were not as good as Cheng after all.
When Yu's thirty-two loyal confidants helped Cheng Yu pour oil, he thought it was a bargaining chip for Cheng Yu to threaten the enemy. Now the fire is really getting hot. Naturally, some people with a weak will have wanted to escape.
.
But then there is no way to escape! Not to mention the rapid spread of the fire, even the dead men who were determined to live and die with Cheng Yu would not allow those timids to ruin their reputation. Those who acted recklessly would immediately mention it without waiting for Cheng Yu's orders.
Killed by the knife.
Zhang Fei was anxious outside the imperial city and ignored Cheng Yu and hurriedly ordered the army to hit the door to put out the fire. Even if the emperor died, the palace could not be burned easily.
At this time, Cheng Yu stood on the imperial gate and took a can of tincture oil from the city defense. He laughed and drowned himself, ignited with fire, and then jumped off. His mightyness and the three armies looked at him.
Even a man like Zhang Fei secretly praised Cheng Yu's loyalty and wiseness. However, Zhang Fei was also a little surprised. Is Cheng Yu not Cao Cao's person? How could he become loyal to Liu Xie? And Liu Xie,
Didn’t he give up the throne to his elder brother? Now that his elder brother has come to pick him up, why did he commit suicide?
Although Zhang Fei has made a lot of progress in recent years, he still doesn't understand this kind of political intestines. He is completely blinded by Cheng Yu's behavior of burning himself and sacrificing himself for justice.
But that's true, so-called death is not a big mistake. This person dares to die, so what else can he say to lies? Not to mention Zhang Fei, even so many people present, there are not many who doubt Cheng Yu. Know the truth.
That is the confidants of Cheng Yu.
But when those confidants saw Cheng Yu burning himself, they were really not vague. They immediately drenched their bodies with turbulent oil, drove the fire to burn himself, jumped off the city tower, and formed a sea of human flesh fire in front of the gate of the palace.
This time, I won’t save the fire in the palace first, let’s talk about it here first.
A big fire burned for two days, and only then was there wisps of blue smoke left behind, leaving behind broken tiles and eaves on the ground. It was a terrible sight!
Zhang Fei had no choice but to report this matter to Youzhou. The only good gain was to capture the old Taoist who made strong tincture oil for Cao Cao. The old Taoist called himself a god, which was also quite good. But Zhang
What kind of tricks do those people under Feishou eat? After a few rounds of bows and arrows, the old Taoist shot down.
If the old Taoist hadn't been lucky enough to fall to the ground as soon as he was shot in the thigh, he would have been shot to the ground, and he would have been shot into a hedgehog long ago.
In this way, Zhang Fei was also very distressed. Zhang Fei seized Xu Du and wanted to find two people, one was the Emperor Liu Xie, and the other was the Old Taoist who refined strong tincture oil for Cao Cao. Now the Emperor died
It’s right, if the old Taoist died, Zhang Fei’s trip would be in vain.
Fortunately, there was a military doctor here, so Zhang Fei hurriedly ordered someone to treat him. He then sent the old Taoist back to Youzhou.
In just two days, Zhang He and Gao Lan of Guandu also received a document sent by Cheng Yu: The Youzhou army invaded Yanzhou, held on to Guandu, and was careful not to be attacked from both sides.
At this time, Zhang He and Gao Lan didn't know that Xu Du had been broken. Looking at Cheng Yu's letter, it was definitely a test of their loyalty.
Gao Lan couldn't help but feel a little shaken at this time and said to Zhang He: "General, our army is now stationed in three places and resisting the invasion of Youzhou. He has put all his strength into it. How can he have the spare energy to look at the rear? Now the Youzhou army has entered Yanzhou.
The Prime Minister is defeated, eight out of ten. Where can we do? We need to plan early."
Gao Lan has been with Zhang He since Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao who joined him, was like a brother with Zhang He. Naturally, he was not at all, and he said his thoughts to Zhang He directly.
Zhang He pondered for a while, sighed and said, "I didn't vote for Liu Ming when I heard Mr. Xu's words. It was actually the number of days I waited for. Today, the situation is clear. I will think about him again, but I am really laughed at by others.
Besides! Our martial artists are loyal and righteous. In the past, we were invaded by Cao Gong, but we had no way to go. Yuan Benchu could not tolerate you and me. Therefore, we were not loyal to Yuan Benchu. But now, Cao Gong accepted me as a despair
During this period, I returned from my own way and treated me very well. I also ordered the important task of serving us. In fact, I treated us with the courtesy of the national sage. We should repay us with the courtesy of the national sage."
Gao Lan remained silent. Seeing his situation, Zhang He also said: "Death is more important than Mount Tai, and death is less important than a feather. He died because of loyalty and righteousness, and was named in history. Even if he dies, he is still honored. He lives in vain, and now the overall situation has been settled.
, If we abandon the Lord and are unrighteous, we will not be treated by others and will be humiliated for a lifetime. If this is the case, life is worse than death."
Gao Lan then strengthened his belief and said to Zhang He: "I will swear to guard Guandu with the general to the death, so as not to let the Youzhou army open up the important road!"
Zhang He nodded with relief and drank with Gao Lan. But what Zhang He, Gao Lan didn't know was that at this moment, Guandu Fortress and the people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River were spared because Gao Shun was benevolent and righteous.
A catastrophe.
Gao Shunde was also equipped with the staff of the army. The staff member was Shang, his name was Yi, and his courtesy name was Kuanzhong. He was also the best in Youzhou Military Academy and was proficient in strategy. Seeing that Zhang Liao's army was blocked by Guandu, he thought about a plan.
He advised Gao Shun: "General. The water of the Yellow River is fast. Now June is in another time, and the water level is high. It is better to dig the Yellow River to irrigate Guandu. It only takes ten days to make this place a piece of water. Let our army pass through."
Gao Shunwei thought, and realized that this strategy was indeed feasible. The floods of the Yellow River were caused by natural disasters. Without help, they would make trouble from time to time. In other words, in the past two years, the lord planted trees along the coast and sorted out the river channels, which made the Yellow River quiet.
If this is man-made destruction, let alone this small Guandu, no matter how big the defense is, it will not be able to withstand the power of the Yellow River.
However! Gao Shun is different from Lu Bu. Although Gao Shun also values meritoriousness, Gao Shun also likes the lives of the people. He followed Liu Ming back to Lu Bu's kindness. After so many years under Liu Ming, he even understood why it was.
Now, the Yellow River breaks its mouth, which is very simple. It floods Guandu, which is also very simple. But the Yellow River is easy to feel uncomfortable. After digging the Yellow River, the water is overturned, and there is no difference between officers and soldiers.
, What should the people in Guandu do? What should the people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River do?
