Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89 The White Gate Tower

In the "Tong Du Jian Lun" written by Wang Fuzhi at the end of Ming Dynasty, he once lamented: "The country is always weak, but the Han Dynasty is weak!"

In the city of Xiapi, the soldiers of the two armies who fought perfectly interpreted the death of the Han Dynasty by force. Gao Shun, who was holding a sword at the ruins, was fighting fiercely. Zhang Liao really did seven ins and seven outs.

There are also Danyang soldiers who emerge from the burnt buildings from time to time. They hold the most crude weapons, wear the thinnest armor and even civilian clothes, but they shout and scream, fighting against the heavy armored soldiers of Cao Jun without fear of death. Then, some even rushed forward regardless, and were pierced by Cao Jun's spear, and they wanted to hug each other and roll in the snowdrift.

But in the same way, Cao Jun also moved forward bravely. A series of generals such as Xia Houdun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and Cao Chun all took the lead and rushed to the front line of the whole army with their shields on. Gritting his teeth, he rushed forward with open and dark arrows that could kill people at any time.

In this era, there are no enemies and maces, but I have the sorrow of Tianling Gai!Some are just the great revengeism that if you cut me, I will pay you back!Some only have the arrogance that pierces the sky!
Just as Wang Hou expected, even at this level of Xiapi City, it is still difficult to fight!Almost at the price of first-class blood, Cao Jun rushed eastward from the west gate with difficulty.

However, despite the difficulties, Cao Jun is still advancing!

In the evening Shenshi, when Wang Hou was preparing dinner, most of the western city, southern city, and northern city were already under the control of Cao Jun. Only the eastern city, relying on Lu Bu's tall and strong city within the city Xuzhou Mufu, the remaining Lu Jun still remained. She is holding on, as if she is still waiting for a miracle to happen.

However, Mr. Cao gave a slap in the face at the speed of light. When he launched the attack in the morning, he yelled that he would not retreat in Xiapi. It is definitely a wise choice to stay at a few streets near the east city for dinner and overnight. After all, the winning ticket is already in hand, and there is no need to fight against the trapped beast Lu Bu. If something goes wrong, the good situation will have to be resolved For nothing, it's better to let the sergeants rest up all night, recharge their energy and eat their stomachs, and come back tomorrow to complete the battle.

Moreover, compared with the historical battle of Cao Lu and Xuzhou, Cao Jun, with Wang Hou's assistance, attacked Xiapi City a full month and a half earlier than in history. The "international pressure" Cao Cao faced was far from another time and space. so big!

But this is an opportunity for Zhao Yun, because tomorrow, Wang Hou's trilogy will also be escorted back to the city, and he will have a chance to fight Lu Bu to avenge his shame!
However, the plan is far from changing quickly!Zhao Yun didn't even sleep that night, and kept reviewing the marksmanship handed down from Tong Yuan, a spear master at the end of Han Dynasty. When following Wang Hou into the city, the last fortress of Xiapi City surrendered without a fight!
It's still Chen Dengli's credit!The three rebels Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu, under the impoverished situation, finally took action under the instigation of the spies sent in by Chen Deng.

Defeated and nothing at this moment is vividly expressed. The originally domineering Lu Bu was tied up like a rice dumpling, and he was still full of dissatisfaction, panting and struggling stubbornly. The famous Mrs. Ren behind him was also tied up with a rope. , but compared to her husband's irascibility and hands hanging behind his back, Mrs. Ren walked very calmly, even without a trace of expression on her face with light makeup, as leisurely as walking in a small garden in the past .

Lu Bu is also lustful. He has more than 20 concubines, but I don't know if he has done too many capricious and wicked things in his life. Except for the captured Lu Ji, he has no children. Compared with Mrs. Ren Well, these women are far behind, crying one by one, if their hands were not tied, they would probably have hugged each other and cried into a ball.

Gao Shun, Chen Gong and his family were escorted out together. The former's trap camp was almost wiped out in yesterday's fierce battle and he still refused to surrender. The latter was a civil servant who had no power to fight back. was captured.Zhao Yun on this side watched Lu Bu leave as if he saw his goddess and other men enter the hotel hand in hand, while the other side passed by Wang Hou, Chen Gong also stopped in his tracks, shook his head with emotion, and then continued with heavy steps Walking outside.

But there was a surprise in it, and that was Zhang Liao!

Although he did not participate in the mutiny, he came out with his subordinates to surrender after Lu Bu was captured in the mutiny!

Although Zhang Liao belonged to Cao Cao who surrendered in the Battle of Xuzhou in history, from the last mission to Xuzhou to the Battle of Xiapi this time, Wang Hou always had an illusion, based on what he saw and understood about Zhang Liao's character , this person will fight faithfully and faithfully for Lu Bu to the last moment. Seeing him follow Wei Xu, Song Xian and others walking out with empty hands behind him, Wang Hou was really surprised.

It seemed that he also felt Wang Hou's surprise, and a strong look of shame appeared on his face. This general, the first general Wang Hou saw in Xuzhou, lowered his head deeply.

This battle was completely bankrupt. Of the 8000 soldiers and horses owned by Lu Bu, there were only more than [-] left at this time, and he had already done his part. Most of the Lu army followed his generals and surrendered. They put down their weapons. They were dejected and driven out of the city, and only some Gao Shun and Lu Bu's soldiers were tied up and suppressed, and they were still swearing all the way during the beating of Cao Jun.

But when Wang Hou was watching the excitement here, he was fascinated, but there was another rushing sound of horseshoes coming from the gate of the city.

"Wang Zhuanyun, the prime minister ordered you to go to the east gate as soon as possible!"

"Oh? The officer knows!"

…………

When Xiapi City built the city wall, it used to smear a layer of white ash paint on the wall surface to make the city wall white to distinguish it from other cities. However, at this time, the west gate no longer exists, and the south city and north city are also burning The smoky coals had smothered it to blackness, and only the east gate was left with a sliver of snow-white.

At this time, Cao Cao was looking at the ruined city of Xiapi with his hands behind his back facing the fluttering snow in the attitude of a victor. Beside him, Liu Bei, who hadn't done much in the whole war, was infinitely close to the state of soy sauce. Standing aside with the two brothers Guan and Zhang, Liu Huangshu kept his eyebrows low as always, and Zhang Fei still had a bandage on his leg, but this time Guan Yu and the second master Guan were obviously absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

On the other side, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Yang Xiu, Mao Jie and other civil officials, and Xia Houdun, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin and other military officers were in two rows, each face filled with the joy of victory.

The arduous war in the twelfth lunar month of winter is finally over. Now is the time to dispose of the prisoners of war and divide up the spoils. The people of the Han Dynasty were far less hypocritical than the literati of the later Song and Ming Dynasties. Why are they not happy when they have profit and share the loot?

Cao Cao now really thinks highly of Wang Hou, he brought his only pony, Zhao Yun, up to the gate of the city, and just showed his face, pointing at him, Cao Cao laughed and clapped his hands, and said braggingly to Liu Bei beside him.

"Tu Qiu, my Xiao He Ke is here!"

"Tuqiu, come here! Sit beside me!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

This attention was simply beyond the entire army, but Wang Hou couldn't help but the corners of his mouth twitched wildly. He managed to maintain a respectful appearance, bowed heavily to thank him, and then led Zhao Yun to Cao Cao's side, and sat down.

Still the same sentence, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. He wandered around Cao Cao, even if Guo Jia showed a slightly sour expression on his face, his eyes indicated that Wang Hou must treat him when he returned Xu. As for Yang Xiu and Wang Lang Officials of the aristocratic family were originally Wang Hou's political opponents, and now their eyes are about to fly out with jealousy.

And sitting next to Cao Cao, another thing that Wang Hou pissed on, but he couldn't escape no matter what, happened again soon!

It's really important!Cao Cao didn't officially start the spoils sharing meeting until he came, waving his sleeves and shouting.

"Come on! Bring the high thief!"

Yesterday, eight hundred heroes from Gao Shun's camp stopped Cao Jun's Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Li Dian's troops from attacking tens of thousands of soldiers for a full hour, until Guo Huai, the guard at the south gate of the Lu Army, surrendered timidly and let Cao Chun ride into the city on tigers and leopards. Gao Shun's back was crushed, and the road was opened. His men killed at least 200 people in Cao's army, so Cao Cao was very impressed with him, and he was the first to pick him up.

A beautiful little girl who is tied up with five flowers has to hold her head high, and a pear flower with rain is worth seeing, but a big man is not worth seeing when tied up in a ball. In Wang Hou's opinion, it is even a bit hot-eyed, but Mr. Cao's taste It's that weird.

Seeing Gao Shun, a big man with a square face, being tied up and kneeling on the ground, Cao Cao immediately became extremely excited. His face was serious and mighty, but his arms were trembling with excitement. Shun the front of the head melon, shouted and asked in a hurried and excited voice.

"Gao Shun! The truth asks you! Thief Lv went against the law, extorted violently, and the people in the territory did not talk about their lives, and even colluded with the rebel Yuan Shu who claimed to be the emperor, and took in Zang Ba and other Taishan gangsters. , lead the righteous soldiers of the three armies, hang the people and punish crimes! You are a righteous teacher, how can you help the evil to do evil, resist the heavenly army, and kill our heavenly army generals!"

"What do you say?"

Don't look at the aggressiveness of these words, in fact, Cao Cao has left his life to Gao Shun.

In this era, it is actually quite common to surrender generals or to vote for another master. Just like the five good generals of the Wei State, Bao Xin’s subordinates in the early days of the ban, he was recommended to Cao Cao by Wang Lang after he surrendered to Wang Lang. One, the Battle of Guandu was surrendered to Cao Cao, and so was Xu Huang. If I remember correctly, which general of the Guanzhong warlord should have surrendered to Zhong Yao at this time, and was recommended to Cao Cao on his way.

The Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han are similar, Huang Hansheng, Liu Zhang's general, Zhao Zilong who is next to Wang Hou, Gongsun Zan who flirts with Liu Bei, Ma Chao first defected to Zhang Lu, and then betrayed Liu Bei who defected to Zhang Lu. Guan Erye, who is the incarnation of loyalty, also voted for Cao Cao. As for what surrendered to the Han but not to Cao Cao, whether the three chapters of the agreement are artistic processing in the interpretation or it is true, that is, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom!

Now Gao Shun is the same, as long as he is willing to admit his mistake, show his attitude, and express his determination to submit to Prime Minister Cao in good faith, Cao Cao will not only forgive him, but at least he will be in the position of a general.

However!Gao Shun was just as upright and lonely as the camp he led. Even if he was tied up and knelt on the ground, he still held his head up coldly and remained silent for a few seconds. hummed.

"Just to die quickly!"

The surrender that was thought to be easy to catch was choked there. After a few seconds, Cao Cao waved his hand violently angrily: "The truth fulfills your loyalty, come here! Push it down and behead it for public display!"

Gao Shun is a general, but no matter how talented he is, it is a disaster if he does not use it for himself, and his arrogant attitude has extremely hurt Cao Cao's face as a winner, so watching several Cao troops push him down the tower, Wang Hou is also Helpless, I can only sigh, there is no camp in the world anymore!

Perhaps Gao Shun chose the name of loyalty and left this world because he had seen through Lv Bu Cao Cao and other warlords in the late Han Dynasty, but even Cao Cao couldn't help but tremble when he was brought up next.

Chen Gong!

Unlike in the deduction, Chen Gong was not a friend in need who fled with Cao Cao, he even went a step further. After the Eighteenth Route princes begged Dong Zhuo, it was Chen Gong who planned a business for him, stabilized Yanzhou, and then helped him defeat Dong Zhuo. In the same situation, Yuan Shao fought against the black bandits, but he fought for several years, which can be seen.

But it was such a business partner who betrayed Cao Cao when he went to Xuzhou to find Tao Qian to avenge his father with grief and anger. The pain he caused Cao Cao was no less than that of Zhang Miao.

However, the complex and nostalgic side of Cao Cao's character was undoubtedly revealed at this time. When Wang Hou was sitting and eating melons, he watched Chen Gong being pushed up and trembling. Cao Cao shook a few times and trembled. stood up.

"Public platform!"

The long-time old boss saw Cao Cao welcoming him, even Chen Gong, who was used to a stiff face, couldn't help but sighed and bowed slightly.

"Meet Duke Cao!"

"Back then! Back then... why were you not as good as Lu Bu? Why bother?"

The trembling voice was a bit like the scene where the second male lead questioned the heroine in Qiong Yao's play, but it was probably a roar that had been buried in Cao Cao's heart for many years. Cao Cao almost yelled out in his trembling with excitement.

But this Chen Gong is also like the heroine in Qiong Yao's play, holding her head up, responding to the betrayal with confidence.

"Grandpa Cao is benevolent, leading everyone to revive the Han Dynasty. Why do you kill scholars indiscriminately, use cronyism, play tricks, and bully good people because of your own anger? Cao Gong, what is the difference between you and Dong Zhuo back then?"

These words really hit Cao Cao's sore spot. It was Qin who lost his deer back then, but now it's Han who lost his deer. Who wouldn't be a hero in the world to replace him?
But even so, after a moment of silence, Cao Cao gave one last chance dully.

"There are still old mothers and wives alive in Gongtai, don't you cherish your life for them?"

"How can a truly benevolent person implicate women, children, and wives? Chen Gong has made a decision, and I hope Cao Gong will make it happen!"

Having said that, Cao Cao also took a cart away. Seeing Chen Gong bowing down, Cao Cao finally waved his hand helplessly.

"Cao Mou bid farewell to the public platform! Someone send the public platform down, and leave a whole body for the public platform!"

Standing up straight, Chen Gong walked down the white gate building without looking back in Cao Cao's eyes, watching him leave. Cao Cao couldn't help but sighed deeply, but in the regretful expression, he couldn't help it. It was mixed with a wave of sincere relaxation, and the next second, when the watermelon rind that Wang Hou was holding was almost turning white, Cao Cao suddenly yelled again in a dull voice.

"Take Lu Bu!"

The most important scene of the day in Baimenlou is here!
