Emperor Xian Conferred Liu Xundian and Wei Betrayed Cao Cao
(shortcut key:
Dian Wei shouted wildly. In a split second, he tilted his head and dodged Liu Xun's spear that was aimed at his face. With a swing of his halberds, he pushed away Wang Bangzi's axe and finally failed to dodge the spear that was aimed at his back.
Blood splattered and stained his robe.
At the same time, the horse's legs were chopped off by the soldiers wielding two short knives, and Dian Wei fell off the horse.
Several spears were pointed at Dian Wei's face. Dian Wei sighed, threw his halberd on the ground, and closed his eyes to await death.
"Tie him up." A few bodyguards rushed forward and tied Dian Wei up tightly.
Xiahou Yuan and Yu Jin were also surrounded. Not long after, Yu Jin was injured in many places. Seeing that he was no match for them, he threw his spear on the ground and shouted," I'm willing to surrender."
Xiahou Yuan stubbornly fought his way out of the encirclement. He was covered in blood, and before he could run far, Liu Xun's horse caught up.
Liu Xun stabbed his spear into Xia Houyuan's chest from his back. He then threw Xia Houyuan to the ground, killing him.
In this battle, he had captured Yu Jin, killed Cao Cao's Tiger General Xiahou Yuan, and captured Dian Wei. Liu Xun was overjoyed.
Dian Wei was escorted to Liu Xun. He stood straight and did not kneel, looking at death calmly.
He sized up the burly man in front of him. Seeing that Dian Wei was tall and confident, Liu Xun couldn't help but want to recruit him.
"Dian Wei, now that you've been captured by me, why haven't you surrendered?”Liu Xun shouted.
"If you want to kill, then kill. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If Grandpa frowned, he would not be a hero. You want me to surrender? Dream on!”Dian Wei spat.
"Brother Dian Wei, why are you doing this? "Please forgive me for my slip of the tongue. I've always respected heroes. Come on, bring me the Golden Creation medicine." Seeing that the hard way didn't work, Liu Xun immediately began to use the soft way.
The people around him presented the golden medicine, and Liu Xun personally applied the medicine on Dian Wei's back, hoping to influence him.
Dian Wei's expression changed. He was obviously touched, but he still said forcefully,""You don't have to waste your energy. If Dian Wei doesn't succeed, he will die for Cao Gong."
" Take Dian Wei away temporarily and watch him closely," Liu Xun instructed helplessly.
"This Dian Wei was originally Zhang Miao's subordinate, but later he joined Cao Cao. If he was a stubborn and blindly loyal person, he would not have joined Zhang Miao first and then Cao Cao. "It seems that Cao Cao has used some unknown method to win him over so that he can't bear to betray us." Liu Xun secretly calculated and ordered his subordinates,"Men, go and invite Jia Xu over."”
Not long after, Jia Xu arrived.
"Brother He, I want to subdue this tiger general Dian Wei, but he refuses to surrender. Do you have any good ideas?”Liu Xun asked.
"My lord took Zhang Liao in with loyalty. "This time, we might as well start with the word 'righteousness'." Jia Xu's words woke the dreamer up.
"Dian Wei is unwilling to surrender because Cao Cao is extremely kind to him. "My lord can promise Dian Wei that as long as Cao Cao is willing to exchange one-third of Yanzhou, he will let him go," the Poison Warrior said.
" A good plan. With Cao Cao's character of 'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me,' he definitely wouldn't be willing to exchange. This way, Dian Wei would give up on him," Liu Xun said with a smile.
Arriving at the place where Dian Wei was imprisoned, Liu Xun said,""Dian Wei, I respect you as a hero and have decided to return you to Cao Cao.”
"Are you really going to let me go?" Dian Wei was confused.
" A man's word is a promise. As long as Cao Cao agrees to cede a third of Yanzhou to me, I'll make him exchange you back," Liu Xun said." Congratulations, Brother Dian Wei. You can return to Cao Cao's side."”
When Dian Wei heard this, he was extremely excited. His face turned pale and red. Clearly, he thought that Cao Cao would use Yanzhou to exchange for him.
"Where is Zhao Yun?"
"I'm here."
" Bring a group of soldiers to negotiate with Cao Cao," Liu Xun said seriously.
" I will obey." Zhao Yun had already received Jia Xu's instructions, so he immediately brought Dian Wei and left.
He also called Zhang Liao, Yan Yan, and Xu Huang, telling them to each lead a troop and act according to the plan.
Liu Xun brought a large group of troops and joined forces with Zhang Xu to meet Emperor Xian.
Seeing Liu Xun, Emperor Xian of Han was trembling with fear. He had been held hostage many times and did not know what would happen to him this time.
" I, Yizhou Mu Liu Xun, have received Your Majesty's favor. I am General Wuwei and have come to protect you. Your Majesty, there is no need to panic." Liu Xun was respectful.
"Liu Xun, are you really here to escort me, not to rob me?”Emperor Xian of Han was not a fool. He had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Come to think of it, I'm His Majesty's granduncle. How can an granduncle kidnap a grandnephew? "From now on, I will build a small city outside Luoyang for Your Majesty and the officials to live in. Your Majesty, don't worry. My army will not enter the city where Your Majesty lives," Liu Xun said.
He had another idea. Although the Darkhan Dynasty had declined, there were still many people loyal to the Han Dynasty, and if they stayed together with the Emperor, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't be plotted against.
This Emperor was not someone who could be manipulated by others. From the way he issued the imperial edict for Dong Cheng and the others to deal with Cao Cao, one could imagine it.
In the future, the ground of Luoyang would be Liu Xun's territory. As long as he sent troops to station around the city, seal up Emperor Xian, and let Feng Ying monitor his movements closely, would he be afraid of Emperor Xian's mischief?
Liu Xun also had another meaning. He was the direct descendant of Emperor Gaozu. Others could humiliate the Emperor in all ways, but he could not go too far. He wanted to seal the mouths of the people in the world.
To Emperor Xian of Han, he knew in his heart that this was the best ending.
" Your loyalty can be seen through the sun and the moon. I will now confer you the title of General Wuwei and punish all the traitors in the world." At this point, Emperor Xian of Han could only choose to believe Liu Xun. He only hoped that Liu Xun would show mercy on account of the fact that they were both descendants of Emperor Gaozu, even though he knew that he might be deceiving himself.
Adding the word "big" in front of the general had a different meaning.
" I thank Your Majesty. Please return to Luoyang and wait for me to expel Cao Cao before building a new palace for Your Majesty," Liu Xun said.
After Liu Xun's army entered Luoyang and reorganized Zhang Xu's army, their power increased further.
Putting Liu Xun aside for the time being, Cao Cao had lost one-third of his remaining troops after fleeing ten miles.
He even lost Xiahou Yuan, Yu Jin, and Dian Wei.
Of course, Xiahou Yuan was dead, Yu Jin had surrendered to Liu Xun, and Dian Wei had been captured. Cao Cao had yet to fully understand these circumstances.
Cao Cao set up an altar at the edge of the camp to pay homage to Dian Wei and the others. When Dian Wei was mentioned, he could not help but cry out in grief.
Just as the sacrifice was about to begin, news suddenly came that Liu Xun had sent Zhao Yun to lead the army and asked Cao Cao to speak.
Cao Cao rode his horse to the front of the formation and saw Zhao Yun marching in an orderly manner. A large number of archers shot at the formation and he rode out alone. Behind him was a rope holding Dian Wei.
Dian Wei sat on a horse with a general behind him. A short knife was placed on his neck.
Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately understood.
" Zhao Yun, what do you want? As long as I can get Dian Wei back, I'm willing," Cao Cao said loudly. He wanted his soldiers to hear that he was a loyal person.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Dian Wei was moved to tears." I didn't follow the wrong person."”
"Good, straightforward. "My lord said that as long as you withdraw your troops immediately and hand over one-third of Yanzhou, I will give Dian Wei to you," Zhao Yun said in a huff.
"Liu Xun, you brat, you've gone too far. Dian Wei, you traitor. "Since you were captured, why didn't you choose to commit suicide? Instead, you came with the thief to threaten your master." Cao Cao was extremely angry and cursed.
If he were to cede one-third of Yanzhou, his foundation might be destroyed. How could he not be anxious?
Dian Wei was trembling with anger. This was the face of his lord, who he had risked his life to protect. He immediately shouted,"Thief Cao, I swear that we will never be on the same side. General Zhao, Dian Wei is willing to surrender.”
"Good job, Dian Wei. You are indeed ambitious. I almost fell for your trick. Release the arrow and kill this thief. Immediately, the arrow flew towards Dian Wei like a locust.
Zhao Yun was already prepared. He swung his spear and struck the arrow shaft. As soon as his Lightning Panic Spear was unleashed, the arrows aimed at him and Dian Wei fell to the ground.
The general behind Dian Wei waved his knife to cut off Dian Wei's rope. Someone had already raised a sign to block the rain of arrows and handed over two halberds.
As soon as Dian Wei obtained his freedom, he wielded his two halberds and rode to kill Cao Cao.
Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu rushed out to save Cao Cao and intercept Dian Wei.
The Cao soldiers were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, so they immediately stopped shooting.
Dian Wei's abilities were on par with Xu Chu's. Adding Xiahou Dun, it was already difficult for Dian Wei to deal with him.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun pointed the tip of her foot at the Night Lion Horse's belly. The horse immediately ran out like lightning and arrived in front of Xiahou Dun in the blink of an eye. She raised her spear and stabbed.
Xiahou Dun braced himself and brandished his spear, engaging Zhao Yun in a battle.
The four generals fought in pairs. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were evenly matched. Xiahou Dun was obviously at a disadvantage against Zhao Yun.
Guo Jia saw that the situation was not right, so he let Le Jin and Li Dian come forward to help, ready to attack Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yunlan pointed his silver spear and the three armies charged at the Cao army.
The two sides engaged in a chaotic battle.
This chaotic battle had caused the sky to darken and the sun and moon to lose their light.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, a cannon was fired from behind the mountain, and a troop charged out. Xu Huang and Zhang Liao led their troops to attack.
After two attacks, Cao Cao was unable to resist the enemy. He had no choice but to abandon his newly erected stockade and retreat as he fought.
Before he could escape half a mile, Yan Yan's ambush broke out. Fortunately, Xu Chu protected his master with all his might and protected Cao Cao from the siege.
After this battle, Cao Cao's strength was greatly reduced, and he would not be able to attack Luoyang for a short period of time.
After getting rid of the pursuers, they lost half of their numbers, but their strength was still there.
Cao Cao sighed,"It seems that Liu Xun has a capable subordinate. I underestimated him." Liu Zhang was an incompetent person, yet he could give birth to such a son. The son should be like Liu Xun, like Liu Jingsheng's son, like a pig dog!”
"My lord, you don't have to worry. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Although we have been temporarily defeated, we still have our strength. "As long as we return to Yanzhou and regroup, we won't have to worry about not being able to avenge ourselves," Guo Jia comforted.
" Fengxiao is right. Let's return to Yanzhou, reorganize our troops, and avenge our past humiliation." Cao Cao was, after all, an ambitious person. After a short period of sadness, he started to feel optimistic again.
"Liu Xun wants to use the Son of Heaven to command the vassals. Hmph, how can there be such an easy thing in this world? "He thought he picked up a treasure, but I let him pick up a hot potato," Guo Jia snorted.
