Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 908 Misjudgment (4000)

"This……"

Hearing Wu Liang's straightforward order, everyone in the Huanren Army suddenly looked suspicious.

Putting aside the personal relationship between Wu Liang and Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu is still the negotiator for the chasing soldiers, so it would be a bit of a stretch to take him down directly...

"Don't worry, I will detain him, he will have to thank me later."

Wu Liang smiled nonchalantly.

"..."

Everyone in the Huanren Army was even more puzzled when they heard the words, saying that they didn't understand what Wu Liang was talking about at all.

But an order is an order, since Wu Liang has given the order, no matter how many doubts they have in their hearts, since they chose to follow Wu Liang, they must obey it unconditionally.

"Wu Taichang, why are you bothering?"

While speaking, Cheng Yu had already rode his horse to the front, but before he had time to dismount, he was surrounded by the Huan army, and dozens of Warring States continuous crossbows almost hit his face.

"Oh? Wu Taichang, this old man didn't bring any weapons. I came here just to say a few words to you. Why do you treat this old man like this?"

Cheng Yu revealed a look of shock, and quickly revealed the empty scabbard around his waist and said.

"Stop talking nonsense, get off your horse!"

Yang Wanli had already stepped forward, grabbed the reins of Cheng Yu's horse, and shouted in a strong tone.

"dismount!"

More than a dozen soldiers of the Huren Army also rushed forward, pulled him off the horse, and then ignored Cheng Yu's age, and quickly tied him tightly with hemp rope. , as if carrying a pig, and brought it to Wu Liang.

"Wu Taichang..."

At this moment, Cheng Yu only felt a buzzing in his head, and looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

"Cheng Taishou, since I decided to lead the army to escape, I have already given up my title and official position. The Taichang that Duke Ming just conferred has nothing to do with me, and the previous Taishi Order has also been given up. From now on, I don't need to be commensurate with my official position. Call me talented!" That's right."

Wu Liang stepped forward and patted the dust off Cheng Yu's body, and continued walking while saying, "Prefect Cheng has become my hostage now, if you have anything to say, let's talk as we walk, there is no rush."

"hostage?"

Cheng Yu was slightly taken aback.

"Why, I took Prefect Cheng as a hostage, is Prefect Cheng not happy?"

Wu Liang grinned and gave him a meaningful wink by the way.

Cheng Yu was taken aback for another moment, but at the next moment he showed a look of enlightenment, and smiled knowingly at Wu Liang. Seeing that, he obviously wanted to salute, but unfortunately he was tied up and couldn't lift his hands, so he nodded and said: "This... Thank you Wu Taichang, unexpectedly, Wu Taichang still regards this old man as an old friend."

"?"

Seeing this, everyone in the Huanren Army became more and more puzzled, and they couldn't help discussing in private:
"Hey... Just now, Young Master said that he took Cheng Yu as a hostage, and Cheng Yu had to thank him in turn. At that time, I thought Young Master was just joking, but Cheng Yu really thanked Young Master. What's going on?"

"I don't know, maybe Cheng Yu has some special hobbies, the young master knows but we don't?"

"This hobby is quite special. It's really hard to judge people by appearances. I always thought Cheng Yu was a serious person..."

"Shut up!"

When Yang Wanli heard these discussions, he stopped them at the right time.

These soldiers quickly shut their mouths, but after a while, they still couldn't hold back their curiosity, and they approached Yang Wanli and asked in a low voice, "Lieutenant Yang, brothers still don't understand. You have to know why Cheng Yu wants to thank you, sir. Shall I tell my brothers?"

"Isn't that easy?"

Yang Wanli glanced at a few people, and snorted coldly, "Cheng Yu has always had some personal relations with the young master. Not only we know about this, but also Minggong is clear about it. Now that the young master is leading us to escape, Cheng Yushan is late and doesn't say anything. If it doesn't work to persuade the young master, Ming Gong will inevitably suspect that he is selfish and indulgent, and he may not be reused in the future. But the young master tied Cheng Yu as a hostage in front of the second young master and Cao Chun, which is tantamount to emancipation Even Duke Ming can’t say anything about the suspicion of his favoritism, so it won’t affect his official career because of this matter, do you think he wants to thank you, Young Master?”

"I see……"

Several soldiers of the Huren army suddenly became enlightened, and they said repeatedly, "High, it is really high! No wonder the young master can be promoted from a slave to a high-ranking Jiuqing in just a few years. Not to mention being a marquis and a general, Minggong is willing Marrying my daughter, it’s all about knowledge, if I can’t learn it, this is really a great knowledge that I can’t learn in a few lifetimes.”

"Young Master, there are still many things that are brilliant, but you just don't realize it."

Yang Wanli patted the shoulders of several people, and looked at Wu Liang with respect.

……

the other side.

"Zi and Uncle, look at this..."

Seeing from afar the people of the Huan army violently dragged Cheng Yu off the horse, and tied him into a rice dumpling with hemp rope and escorted him to Wu Liang, Cao Pi was startled and angry, and couldn't help looking at Cao Chun beside him, "Even if the two armies were fighting, Wu Youcai directly tied up Prefect Cheng. He made it clear that he didn't intend to turn back!"

"..."

Cao Chun was also a little dumbfounded at the moment.

Originally, he thought that even if Cheng Yu couldn't persuade Wu Liang, at least he could shake Wu Liang's mind a little through lobbying, and then come back to convey the news to them, so that they would know what to do, so as to help them think of new solutions. Of the policy.

As a result, Wu Liang kidnapped people directly without saying a word, which kind of meant "cutting off all kindness and justice".

In this case, what can he do?

Full pursuit?

Once they chased closely, Wu Liang's next round of Thunderbolt might not land more than a dozen feet in front of them. He couldn't afford such a loss, let alone take risks easily.

But I can't do without chasing...

This matter is not just about Cao Pi alone. Cao Pi is just a ten-year-old boy. Boss Cao ordered him to handle this matter more because of experience. If something goes wrong, his uncle who is "assisting" It is the main responsible person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is duty-bound.

This is really a dilemma...

"Zi and Uncle, Wu Youcai and Huan's army are still marching, if they are left alone, they will go far."

Seeing that Cao Chun's face was complicated and he didn't respond, Cao Pi said impatiently.

"The only way is to keep a distance and follow them for the time being, and you can't lose track anyway."

Cao Chun finally said helplessly, "After your father learned that Wu Youcai had returned to Chenliu, he sent a letter and ordered us to stand still. He will handle this matter himself. Two hours ago, I ordered someone to use Fei Nu to lead Wu Youcai to lead the Huan army. The news of the escape has been sent out, and now your father must have received the news long ago, and will definitely respond as soon as possible, we had better hold back and wait for his news, lest we act without authorization and damage the army, and ruin your father's plan."

"But Zi and Uncle, the Huan army will leave Chenliu County if they go further, and they will cross Yingchuan County in the next few days and enter Nanyang, Jingzhou. That place is no longer as peaceful as Chenliu and Yingchuan. , it will only be more difficult to deal with!"

Cao Pi's face was still full of worry, and he said anxiously.

"indeed so."

Cao Chun murmured, "So we can follow at most until the Huan army enters Nanyang, Jingzhou. If there is no news from your father and Wu Youcai doesn't plan to turn back, we can no longer just follow, at all costs. The price must be taken to stop it!"

……

"Cheng Taishou, there is no need to be sloppy now, do you have any useful news for me?"

Wu Liang led Cheng Yu into the crowd, and after avoiding the eyes and ears of Cao Pi and Cao Chun, he ordered someone to untie him, walked side by side and asked.

"Brother talented and virtuous, you really don't plan to turn back? In fact, you should know that Duke Ming has no intention of dealing with you. He doesn't want to part with you."

Cheng Yu still asked the same question, but then added, "Actually, I don't want to part with you either. You are the most interesting person I have ever met in this life. If you leave, Chen Liu will be just a place for the old man." The city is gone."

"I'm also reluctant to part with these brothers under my command. When Duke Ming came up with this thought, I couldn't turn back."

Wu Liang smiled.

"Since this is the case, the old man will not say any more."

Cheng Yu sighed, and said, "You suddenly returned the news of Chen Liu, and the Second Young Master and General Cao used Fei Nu to notify Duke Ming on the same day... This old man also did the same thing, looking for something in his position, you are talented Brother should be able to understand."

"Then, does Mr. Ming have a reply?"

Wu Liang nodded, then asked.

"Duke Ming wrote back to the old man, ordering the old man to pay attention to you and the second young master at the same time, to reconcile when necessary, to ensure that no troubles arise, especially to avoid conflicts."

Cheng Yu said, "As for whether the Second Young Master has received a reply from Duke Ming, and what the content of the letter is, I don't know."

"Did Minggong reveal in the letter that he intends to handle this matter himself?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"It's not..."

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "To be precise, Mr. Ming probably never expected that you would be so decisive that you would give up years of business and lead the crowd to flee without saying a word... In fact, the old man did not expect that either, maybe this is exactly you The difference is that if this matter is placed on the old man, I am afraid that the old man will hand over the Liren army against his conscience. His life is only a few dozen years, and it is not easy for the old man to be where he is today, especially in this troubled world. In the midst of this, it is the limit of my ability to allow myself and my family to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, and I really can't take care of so many people."

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

"However, Duke Ming must know about the fact that you led the army to flee by now. The second son and the tiger and leopard rode out of the city before releasing the flying slaves, and the old man also released the flying slaves."

Cheng Yu went on to say, "Although I haven't received a reply from Duke Ming yet, I can be sure that after Duke Ming learns about this matter, as long as Yuan Shao's army doesn't launch an attack at the same time, he will definitely come to deal with it in person...you I probably don’t know how important you are in Duke Ming’s heart. At this point, the old man is not afraid to make his words clear. Let’s just say that the fate of the Zongren army is actually a trivial matter for Duke Ming. You kill him with your own hands, and you will never teach you to leave in this situation, he is unwilling to take such a risk."

"As you say..."

Wu Liang was thoughtful.

"At this point, either you can escape to a place beyond the reach of Ming Gong before Ming Gong arrives, or you can stop meddling in the affairs of the Liren Army and obediently go back with Ming Gong to be your son-in-law."

Cheng Yu said more bluntly.

"From then on, Minggong will keep me under house arrest like raising an animal. Special personnel will be responsible for my daily necessities, food, housing and transportation. I will even be deprived of the freedom to go out, right?"

Wu Liang raised his eyes and said.

"In fact, you have long thought that such a day will come, right?"

Cheng Yu nodded.

"I thought about it, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon. I always thought that this day would be after Minggong and Yuan Shao fought and won a big victory."

Wu Liang smiled.

"No wonder you escaped so decisively this time."

Cheng Yu sighed, "Listen to my advice, if you can escape this time, that would be the best, if you can't escape, why not just accept the reality, you have tried your best, and the soldiers of the Huren Army can't blame you , At that time, you will still live in Chenliu, and you will still live a comfortable life without worrying about food and clothing. This old man will talk to you before you have nothing to do. This may not be a way of life. Life is only a few dozen years, how can you live it?"

"If I can teach Minggong to understand that he can't kill me, and using force will only make him lose more?"

Wu Liang suddenly asked.

"?"

Cheng Yu trembled, and looked at Wu Liang suspiciously.

After a while, he lowered his eyes again, shook his head and said: "Your talented brother, you may still have misjudged Minggong, if you think that you can make Minggong compromise only by shaking the sky and insinuating, then then Big mistake, although Duke Ming treats you as his own, it doesn't mean he doesn't guard against you."

"What if you and Minggong misjudged me?"

Wu Liang looked at the morning glow in the sky, and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly.

"What did you say?"

Cheng Yu asked.

Wu Liang smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."

……

The Huan army captured Cheng Yu, and chose to ignore the pursuers behind them and continue marching southwest.

Soon after, they entered the territory of Yingchuan County, passed through Yanling, Xuxian, Yingyin, and Yingyang, and arrived in the area of ​​Xiangcheng five days later.

Cao Pi and Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard riders and followed behind.

When the Zunren army eats, they also eat; when the Zunren army repairs, they also repair; when the Zunren army marches out, they also march out.

However, they always kept a distance of hundreds of feet from the Huan army, never easily stepped into the range of Zhen Tianlei, and never taught the Huan army out of their sight.

However, this does not mean that Cao Pi and Cao Chun's mentality is as stable as they show.

"Zi and Uncle, as long as we cross the Ru River ahead, Wu Youcai and Huan's army will enter Nanyang smoothly in a day or two at most. We can't just follow, can we?"

Cao Pi had lost all his patience at this moment, and his tone contained a lot of hostility, "I don't know what my father is thinking. The secret report sent back only taught us to follow, and even the defenders of the cities along the way must not be disturbed. Otherwise, how could Wu Youcai and the Huan army have a chance to escape here?"
