When the war broke out in Xu Prefecture, the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang City was decorated with lanterns and streamers. A banquet was held outside the mansion for two whole days, and all the people in the city came to congratulate them.
Because it was Cao Ang's wedding day, Cao Zheng, as a brother of the same mother, had to pick up the bride for his brother early in the morning.
Cao Ang was marrying Cheng Yu's daughter, Cheng Lin.
Early in the morning, the Cheng family bathed the bride and put on her wedding clothes.
Cao Zheng rode on a white horse, followed by a group of brothers. Cao Zhen, Cao Tai, Cao Kai, and Xiahou Ba followed behind him.
"Brothers, our big brother has finally met someone he likes.”
Cao Zhen said.
"That's right. Look, Ziyi already has two boys and two girls, but our big brother just got married.”
Xiahou Ba said.
"Brothers, we're almost at the Cheng residence. Don't cause trouble later.”
Cao Zheng warned these rich kids.
"Don't worry. Ziyi, we promise not to cause trouble today."”
Everyone promised.
In a short while, they arrived at the Cheng Manor, and the bridal sedan was carried to the door.
Cao Zheng dismounted and led his brothers to respectfully invite the bride away.
"Uncle Cheng, congratulations."
Cao Zheng congratulated Cheng Yu.
If not for Cheng Yu's loyalty to Cao Cao and his old friend, he would not have gotten this opportunity.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Come, Second Young Master, let's have some joy.”As Cheng Yu spoke, he took out a few red packets and handed them to Cao Zheng and the others.
"Uncle Cheng, I have to go back after picking up the bride. See you later.”
Cao Zheng said.
"Good, good, good."
Cheng Yu said excitedly.
Then Cao Zheng mounted his horse and shouted,"Get up."”
After that, there was a lot of bragging and bragging. The crockery was very noisy and grand.
After returning to the residence, the groom Cao Ang appeared. He held the red flower and the husband and wife entered together. After that, they went to the wedding hall, tied their hair, and finally sent them to the bridal chamber.
After a series of operations, the banquet began. Because Cao Ang had official business to attend to that night, Cao Zheng replaced the wine that was offered to Cao Ang.
The wedding went very smoothly.
However, Liu Bei's messenger, Mi Fang, came to Xuchang on the same day to inform Liu Bei of the latest situation and request Cao Cao to send troops to rescue him.
The next day, Cao Cao gathered all his strategists and generals to discuss attacking Xu Prefecture.
A few days later, the rations were ready. Cao Cao led his army and set off. Cao Cao had Cao Zheng follow the central army so that they could discuss the battle at any time and make the best choice.
At this time, Xiahou Dun's vanguard army had arrived at Xiaopei. General Lu Bu continued to surround the city and sent people to ask for help from Lu Bu. Therefore, Lu Bu sent Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and others to lead the leading camp to help.
When Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao's army had arrived, he asked Mi Zhu to guard his family while he and Guan Zhang went out of the city to prepare to meet Cao Cao's army.
The next day, Gao Shun led his army to fight Xiahou Dun.
Gao Shun took the lead and said loudly,"I am Great General Gao Shun. Who among you rats dares to fight to the death with me?”
Xiahou Dun also shouted,"The Heavenly Army has arrived. Dismount and be bound."”
When Gao Shun heard this, he rushed out with his spear and fought with Xiahou Dun. However, Gao Shun was a commander-in-chief, and his martial strength was not Xiahou Dun's match. Thus, the two of them fought for less than 30 rounds, and Gao Shun knew that he was not Xiahou Dun's match, so he pretended to be defeated and left.
Xiahou Dun chased after him.
At this moment, Cao Xing was drawing his bow and nocking an arrow in Gao Shun's army. Seeing that Gao Shun was retreating, he shot two arrows at Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun knew that it was a trick of the enemy and was prepared. He used his spear to block one arrow. At this moment, the other arrow had already flown over and hit Xiahou Dun in the left eye.
After Xiahou Dun was hit by the arrow, he could only endure the pain and pull out the arrow when he saw Gao Shun leading the army in pursuit. He said loudly,""The essence of the father and the blood of the mother cannot be abandoned." So he swallowed the eye on the arrow and continued to lead the army in pursuit. Coincidentally, he met his enemy Cao Xing in the chaotic army. After killing him, he could only stop chasing because of his injuries. Unexpectedly, Gao Shun led the army to counterattack. The Cao army retreated, but luckily, Cao Cao had made arrangements in advance, preventing them from suffering heavy losses.
After Gao Shun won, he joined up with Lu Bu's army and attacked the three camps set up by Liu Bei. Liu Bei led his army to reinforce the two camps, but they were outnumbered and retreated.
When they reached Xiaopei, Sun Qian wanted to order an arrow to be shot, but he was afraid that Liu Bei would be shot, so he gave up. Lu Bu rode quickly and arrived at the suspension bridge in the blink of an eye. The soldiers guarding the gate could not resist and could only flee in all directions. Liu Bei did not stop. After entrusting his family to Mi Zhu, he took Sun Qian and fled to Yanzhou.
After Lu Bu entered the city, he sent people to guard Liu Bei's residence and did not disturb him. Later, he sent Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to guard Xiao Pei.
