The big knife in Li Zheng's hand slashed hard at Gao Shun, "Get away."
Gao Shun swung his sword to hold Li Zheng's sword, and shouted expressionlessly, "Kill anyone who plots evil!"
Li Zheng was knocked back. Knowing Gao Shun's martial arts skills, he was afraid that he was no match for him, so he immediately shouted, "General Wei, if you haven't taken action yet, do you want to capture him without mercy?"
While he was talking, Li Zheng was stunned, and Gao Shun slashed his left shoulder with a knife. The pain made him scream and hiss.
"General Wei, even if you want to surrender now, I'm afraid Lu Bu won't let you go."
Wei Xu and others, who had been hiding aside and not daring to speak, heard these words and thought of Lu Bu's character, and felt horrified.
Hou Cheng said with a trembling voice, "General Wei, that's impossible. Once Lu Bu finds out, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape."
Song Xian nodded, "Let's give it a try!"
When Wei Xu heard what the two said, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, let's climb over the wall from the backyard."
Hou Cheng nodded hurriedly, "Okay, let's leave quickly."
The three of them ignored Li Zheng and immediately ran towards the backyard in a hurry.
At this moment, many servants of the Cheng family's Li family wanted to jump over the wall and escape when they saw something was not going well.
The three of them had martial arts skills, so climbing up a wall was easy.
When the three of them jumped over the high courtyard wall and just breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard a shout from in front of them.
"Do you want to run?"
When the three of them heard this voice, their expressions suddenly changed with fright, and they hurriedly looked up.
On the road in the backyard, there was a group of soldiers and horses chasing the servants who escaped over the wall.
There are also three generals not far away from Wei Xu and the others. The leader is Lu Bu's general Hao Meng. To his left and right are Wei Yue and Cao.
When Hou Cheng saw the three people and the many soldiers and horses, he knew something was wrong and immediately turned around and ran away.
Cao snorted coldly and took out his bow and arrow, "It's not that easy to run away."
The reason why Gao Shun sent three people to guard here was because he knew that Cao was a skilled archer and it would not be easy to escape from his hands.
call out!
"ah!"
Lu Bu had issued a kill order this time, and Cao did not hold back. Hou Cheng, who was escaping, suddenly felt a shock in his neck, and a sharp pain entered his mind. He couldn't help but scream, and then his breath stopped. It became unsmooth, and his vision went dark, and he fell directly to the ground and never moved again.
Wei Yue looked at Hou Cheng who fell down, and suddenly he trembled with fear, his face turned frighteningly white, and he hurriedly shouted, "If I want to see Wen Hou, you can't kill me."
Big beads of sweat rolled down Song Xian's forehead, "Wei Yue, General Wei is your clan brother, you can't kill him."
Wei Yue nodded seriously, "General Song, you are right, I absolutely cannot kill him."
At this point, Wei Yue fiercely raised the spear in his hand and roared, "But I can kill you!"
After finishing speaking, Wei Yue mobilized his war horse and charged towards Song Xian with a spear in hand.
Hao Meng did not dare to neglect and shouted, "Wei Xu, just accept your fate."
…
Cao Cao led his army halfway and was overjoyed when he received a letter from Li Zheng.
"It's great. The city is fully prepared. As long as the army arrives at the city, they can open the city gate for us, hahaha."
Cheng Yu remembered the last defeat and snorted coldly, "We will break the city this time. Let's see where Lu Bu's son runs away."
The army arrived ten miles outside the city, and Cao Cao ordered to set up camp, preparing to pretend to attack early tomorrow morning and break the city at night.
That night, Cao Cao received a reply from the spy, but he felt a little strange.
There seemed to be no defense in the city, and no soldiers were found defending the city walls.
Cao Cao thought it was a plan to suspect soldiers in the city and did not dare to make any move.
Early on the next morning, Cao Cao led his army in formation outside the city, but found that there were still no soldiers guarding the city wall, and he felt strange.
At this moment, a war horse came from a distance and quickly arrived not far from Cao Cao. Li Dian jumped off the horse and ran to Cao Cao, hissing loudly.
"My lord, it's not good. The Chengshi Li family was attacked by Lu Bu's army. I'm afraid the situation is not good now."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news, Cao Cao was startled and suddenly shouted, "Send people into the city immediately."
Soon, a group of soldiers rushed into the city, and after only a moment, they reported back.
"My lord, there are only ordinary people left in the city, and there are no soldiers from Lu Bu's army."
After hearing the soldiers' report, although Cao Cao had captured Dong Min, he was not happy and immediately ordered his army to enter the city.
After a search in the city, the soldiers finally found the house where Li Zheng and others were hiding.
Cao Cao led everyone to the front of the house, and a soldier came to report, "Please tell me, my lord, that more than 800 members of the Chengshi Li family were all buried here."
"Among these many people, there are also three generals of Lu Bu's army, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian."
When Li Dian heard the news, his expression suddenly changed, he rushed into the house, looked at the people on the ground, and immediately burst into tears.
Cheng Yu listened to the crying inside and sighed and said, "Lü Bu has discovered what the Li family of the Cheng family has done, and everyone here has been executed. I am afraid that no one from the Cheng family will be spared.
The Li family of the Cheng family may be exterminated! "
…
Cao Cao sat in the high hall, frowning slightly, looking around at everyone, and said slowly, "Lü Bu knew he was outmatched, so he abandoned the city and fled."
Xiahou Dun stepped forward to report, "Lord, after the soldiers explored along the road, the direction Lu Bu's army left was to the south. If nothing unexpected, they should have gone straight to Xuzhou."
Li Dian's eyes were red and swollen, and he stepped forward and held his hands, "My lord, I am willing to lead a team of soldiers and horses to chase Lu Bu's son. If I don't kill him, I will never come back."
Li Dian was born in the Li family of the Cheng family. Now that his family has been exterminated, he is heartbroken and devastated.
Cheng Yu hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hand, "Lord, our army is short of food. If we go to catch up, we will probably consume more food. We might be in danger of running out of food, but that would be bad!"
The army set out from Juye and prepared a total of 15 days of food. This journey had already consumed two days. Plus one day of stay, the remaining food was only enough to last for 12 days.
If you rush from Dongmin to Xuzhou, there will be many delays on the way, so if you want to fight for Xuzhou, 12 days of food is far from enough.
Once there is no food, the army will be in danger!
Cao Cao nodded, turned to look at Li Dian, and said slowly, "General Li, for being able to break through Dongmin, the Chengshi Li family's contribution is indelible. Now that the family has been exterminated, I will definitely avenge you."
At this point, Cao Cao paused and then said, "It's just that there is insufficient food now, and we still need to wait for some time before we go to conquer Xuzhou. Just wait patiently."
Li Dian also knew what it meant to have no food. He gritted his teeth and cupped his hands, "General, I am willing to listen to my lord's orders."
