Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes and immediately said,"The rebel general is fighting two enemies at once. He's deceiving me that I have no general." Who dares to go out to help Han Sheng kill these two Liao people?”
"I'm willing to go."
Wen Pin cupped his fists, his gaze solemn.
However, without waiting for Zhang Xiu to reply, a dozen Deputy Generals beside him rode out, each howling with an imposing manner.
"Not good, the rebel army is too powerful. Quickly ring the bell and summon the two generals back.”Looking at the deputy general who rode out, Xun Yu was terrified and said anxiously.
A nameless person was already so fierce. If a dozen of them came out at once, wouldn't they be able to dismember Xu Chu and the others?
Xiahou Dun forced Huang Zhong to retreat with a single slash of his saber. Looking at the dozens of cavalry charging at him, he felt a chill in his heart and said anxiously,""The bandits are powerful. Zhongkang, let's retreat quickly.”
Xu Chu glared at him, feeling indignant. He immediately turned his horse around and galloped away.
"Archers, get ready!" Cao Hong shouted from below the city wall.
"Phew,"
Seeing that the archer had already drawn his bow, Huang Zhong pulled the reins of his horse and retreated to an arrow's distance. He then raised his saber and stroked his beard as he sneered,"You're inferior to rats and are actually known as the enemy of ten thousand people. In my eyes, you're all like women.”
"Don't tell me Cao Cao's camp doesn't have any more men?”
Zhang Xiu laughed. He wasn't the one who taught Huang Zhong these words. He was really vicious.
However, he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity to strike morale. He waved his spear and laughed,
"If the Cao camp doesn't have a seven-foot man, why not let him have some?”
As soon as he said that, the soldiers behind him cooperated and raised their weapons high as they shouted,"If the Cao camp doesn't have a seven-foot man, why not let him have some?”
His voice was like thunder, piercing through the nine heavens.
For a time, the continuous whistling sounds caused the morale of Cao Cao's camp to plummet. On the other hand, the morale of Zhang Xiu's troops was high.
At the city gate.
Xu Chu was burning with anger." You've insulted me. If I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not human."
As he shouted, Xu Chu was about to raise his saber and ride his horse again, but Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong held him down.
"Pass down my order. Close the city gates. Without my personal order, no one is allowed to leave the city.”Xun Yu was solemn. Now that the enemy was strong, he could only avoid them.
Although their morale had dropped, they could wait for Cao Cao to return to wash away their shame.
Looking at the tightly shut city gate, Zhang Xiu felt rather helpless.
Ling Ren cursed for a long time, but to no avail. Zhang Xiu could only lead the army and retreat first, thinking of other things.
Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Cao Cao did not rush to Xuchang immediately after meeting the Emperor because Yang Feng and the other rebel generals had many soldiers under them.
During this period of time, Cao Cao acknowledged Yang Feng as his master and often gave him gold, silver, and jade. Yang Feng was quite pleased with himself and had already been numbed to ignore Cao Cao.
Under the night sky, Cao Cao's encampment.
Dong Zhao looked at Cao Cao, who was walking over quickly, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Such a mighty lord was actually personally welcoming him.
"Greetings, Lord Cao." Dong Zhao hurriedly bowed.
"Haha, I'm very fortunate to have you here late at night. I wonder why you've come.”Cao Cao laughed heartily, but his eyes were deep and cunning.
Cao Cao knew that Dong Zhao was Yuan Shao's advisor and had defected to Zhang Yang due to slander. Zhang Yang and Yang Feng were both Protector Generals, so they were probably here to extort him.
"Cao Gong, I'll be frank. You sent gifts to Yang Feng, Han Xian, Zhang Yang and others to welcome the emperor to Xuchang, right?”Dong Zhao narrowed his eyes as he stared at Cao Cao and laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he hid it well.
He immediately laughed out loud and said," Why would you say that? I've admired you two generals for a long time. It's only right for me to give you some small gifts. How could I have such an absurd idea?"”
Dong Zhao looked at Cao Cao with a burning gaze and sneered for a long time.
" Hehe, I sincerely came to join you, but Lord Cao is so guarded. Forget it, forget it. I'll take my leave…" Dong Zhao turned to leave.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and pondered. He was thinking about whether to kill him or not. Three breaths later, he smiled and shouted,"Gong Ren, please wait."
"I admire your benevolence and wisdom. That's right, I do plan to numb these two people so that I can welcome the emperor to Xuchang. From there, I can use the emperor to command the vassals and achieve great things.”
Dong Zhao revealed a warm smile. Since Cao Cao was honest, he didn't hold back. He turned around and bowed respectfully,"Cao Gong, I have a plan that can deceive everyone.”
"Oh, Gong Ren, tell me quickly." Cao Cao was shocked, but he looked around and said,""I was too abrupt. Please, let's have a long talk in the tent.”
Not long after, inside the commander's tent.
"Cao Gong, there are many officials who are unwilling to move the capital to Xuchang, and there are Yang Feng and Zhang Yang who are unwilling to move the capital. As for Yang Feng and Zhang Yang, they had already been paralyzed by Cao Gong. Cao Gong could use the excuse of the lack of rations in the capital to temporarily move the imperial court to Lu Yang.”
"And Lu Yang is only a horse away from the general's base camp. By then, even if Yang Feng and the others wake up, it will be too late. As for the ministers in the court, if they are unwilling to move to Xuchang, they can directly throw their bodies into the wilderness. In this way, I'm afraid no one will dare to refuse. How about it?”
Dong Zhao pinched his teacup and drank a mouthful of warm wine as he said with a smile.
"Temporarily move to Luyang?" Cao Cao thought about it and was immediately overjoyed." Good, what a good trick. Once the Emperor enters Yingchuan, it will be too late for Yang Feng and the others to wake up."”
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will join forces with the ministers to persuade you to move to Luyang.”
"Hehe, Duke Cao is wise."
Just as Dong Zhao finished speaking, a hurried voice sounded.
The general was Cao Ren. He strode into the camp with a bamboo scroll in his hand. He looked at Dong Zhao and then at Cao Cao with a burning gaze.
"My lord, urgent report from Xuchang."
"Hehe, it must be a letter from home. Let me see it.”Cao Cao saw the seriousness on Cao Ren's face and laughed.
After receiving the bamboo slips, Cao Cao glanced at them.
His gaze gradually darkened. There was no expression at all, and it was a little scary.
"Pa!"
The bamboo slip closed abruptly and Cao Cao laughed,""Haha, my concubine gave birth to another son and asked me what name I should give him. Women are really annoying.”
Dong Zhao's eyelids twitched as he had a guess in his heart. He immediately stood up and said with a smile,"Congratulations to Cao Gong for having another young master. It's getting late now, so I'll go back first and wait for Cao Gong to receive Yingchuan.”
"Haha, good. If this matter succeeds, Gong Ren will be the first to receive the credit.”Cao Cao laughed and turned around.”
Cao Ren was worried because Cao Cao's face was pale and cold. He looked like he was going to kill someone.
" Yes," Cao Ren agreed.
After Dong Zhao left the camp, Cao Cao stood up and angrily threw the bamboo slips in his hand, shouting,"Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, I will kill you all.”
After saying that, Cao Cao staggered and sat down. He held his head and his eyes turned white. He shouted with difficulty,"It hurts. It hurts so much."
