Chen Deng glanced at the crowd and said with a smile: "Now and then, just do what you do. If something happens and you meet Wu Hou, I will bear everything."
Everyone stopped asking further.
Hengjie walked to Huang Zhong and sighed: "Old general, do you still remember me?"
Huang Zhong looked at Hengjie, nodded and said: "I recognize you, you are Hengjie, the young man who rushed to Xiangyang single-handedly to ask for Sun Jian's body from the former Jingzhou Shepherd."
Heng Jie motioned to the people around him to untie Huang Zhong.
Wei Yan and Huo Jun saw this and came over.
Huang Zhong, who was untied, glared at the two of them and was about to rush over.
Heng Jie hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Old general, we are all hard-working people, why should we embarrass each other?"
Huang Zhong said angrily: "Bullshit miserable people, two traitors!"
Huo Jun also lost his temper and said angrily: "Old General Huang, am I a traitor? My brother and I have been loyal to Xian Jingzhou Mu all our lives. My brother was still guarding Xian Jingzhou Mu before he died. But what did Liu Pan do? What did Cai Mao do? "
"Can they represent Xian Jing Zhou Mu?"
"Jingzhou Mu is dead!"
"Killed to death by Cai Mao!"
"Why did Jingzhou end up in such a situation? It's all Liu Pan's fault!"
"If Liu Pan had listened to me, how could Cai Mao be such a monster?"
Wei Yan sighed and said: "Old General Huang, Jingzhou is no longer the Jingzhou of the past. Now that Liu Cong has ascended the throne, doesn't the old general know what a figure he is? I'm sure that the death of the first Jingzhou Mu has nothing to do with him."
When Huang Zhong heard what Huo Jun and Wei Yan said, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of sadness and indignation.
Covering his face with his hands, Huang Zhong said in a trembling voice: "Hengjie, please kill me! It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender. If you kill me, I will not hate you, but will thank you."
Hengjie looked at Huang Zhong's painful look, shook his head and said: "I will not kill the old general. The old general once served as an official in Changsha and treated the people well. If the old general really can't accept the current situation, please ask him General, stay with me. When I return to Changsha, I will take you back with me, and you can retire in Changsha."
Inside Xiangyang City.
When the people heard the fighting outside the city ending, they came out one after another.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
Everyone ran around asking questions.
The brave people even walked to the city gate.
Nangong Yan also shuttled among the crowd to find out what happened.
When the sun rose, a burst of roars suddenly sounded outside the city: "People in the city, listen, we are the masters of justice in Jiangdong!"
"Marquis Wu has an order. Once the city is breached, the people in the city will be innocent and there is no need to worry about their safety!"
"The Marquis of Wu has always been benevolent and righteous, as evidenced by Shu County, Xuzhou and other places in Lujiang!"
"Anyone who can behead the heads of the four major families, or who can open the city gate, will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and will be able to see the Marquis of Wu directly!"
"People in the city, listen, we are the righteous teachers of Jiangdong"
The people at the city gate suddenly became noisy when they heard the roar outside the city.
"Jiang Dong called?"
"Jiang Dong actually came here! I heard that there were reinforcements from Jiang Xia and Jiang Ling outside the city, as well as Liu Pan's army!"
"It's over, Jingzhou is gone."
"How could Jiangdong be so powerful?"
"Now our state pastor has changed. If it were the Jing state pastor, how could such a situation happen?"
"Who knows how the pastor of Jingzhou died first? The current situation in Jingzhou is entirely his own fault."
"what should we do?"
"It depends on what you do. However, I have heard many merchants who came to our Xiangyang business say that when Jiangdong attacked Shu County in Lujiang, instead of forcing the people to defend the city, they even opened the city gates before the war and released the people. Let’s go!”
"So, the Lord of Jiangdong is more suitable for us?"
"Who can be sure? After all, Jiangdong and we are feuding. In the past, Sun Jian assassinated our governor, and Huang Zu also killed Sun Jian."
Nangong Yan listened to the people's discussions and laughed.
Hiding for so long is finally over.
Nangong Yan quickly turned back and told the story of Jiangdong's army being driven outside the city.
Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Yi in shock and said, "Brother-in-law, is it because the Jiangdong army attacked here at the right time because you had a plan beforehand?"
Lu Yi smiled and said: "That's right! I originally came to take you back with your second sister. Because I was worried about your second sister, she didn't have much opinion, so I came here in person. I happened to meet Liu Cong visiting Pang Degong, so I thought Come up with these strategies.”
"Although I took a risk, it finally paid off."
Putting his right hand on Zhuge Liang's shoulder, Lu Yi said: "However, I can't do this kind of thing often. Next time I want to come out, I'm afraid none of the civil and military officials will allow me. From now on, I will have to rely on you, my second brother-in-law." "
"Use your eyes to replace mine and help me see through this troubled world."
"Use your brain to replace mine and help me fight in the front."
Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang.
Lu Shisan looked puzzled.
How old is this Wu Hou’s second brother-in-law?
Marquis Wu actually had such great expectations for him!
Sure enough, no matter how wise the Marquis of Wu was, he could not escape the shackles of mortals, and his behavior was "nepotism".
Although he thought so, Lu Shisan did not dare to bring it up.
In any case, I am also part of Wu Hou's "nepotism".
Otherwise, I would still be a chivalrous and righteous hero under Master Lu Su!
It is impossible to share the responsibility of doing business in Jingzhou with such a large fleet.
Zhuge Liang nodded heavily after hearing what Lu Yi said.
Lu Yi smiled happily, then found a place to lie down and said: "I haven't slept well during this period because I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to catch up. Now don't worry, I'll have a good sleep. You guys too, have a good rest! Wait for them Break the city, let’s go out again.”
Xudu.
The south gate of the city.
Cao Cao, Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others watched Chen Gong lead the convoy, as well as Cao Cao's second daughter Cao Jie, heading south to Wu County.
After this period of discussion, Cao Cao finally selected his second daughter Cao Jie as his marriage partner to the new master of Jiangdong, Lu Yi.
In fact, Cao Cao originally planned to send this girl to the palace to serve the emperor.
He had already sent his eldest daughter in before.
However, he still felt that it was not very safe.
The eldest daughter's character is somewhat weak, and she can't stand the irritable emperor.
But now that Jiang Dong has sent Chen Gong here, he can only take care of Jiang Dong's side first.
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Gong and the convoy disappearing into the horizon.
The alliance with Jiangdong was finally formed.
In a short period of time, he could free his hands and prepare to deal with Yuan Shao who was about to go south.
That's right, Yuan Shao is about to go south!
Just half a month ago, he received intelligence from Youzhou that Yuan Shao's army that originally besieged Yi Jing had broken through the city.
Gongsun Zan was surrounded by Yuan Shao's army under the platform!
Gongsun Zan had no choice but to wait for death.
Yuan Shao's unification of the north is irreversible.
Now, Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others are gathering their troops, and will move south just after Yuan Shao's order.
Cao Cao himself also received a personal letter from Yuan Shao.
In the letter, Yuan Shao persuaded him to surrender, and said that the two had been playmates since childhood, and they could not neglect their original friendship because of power.
What's even more disgusting is that Yuan Shao said that as long as he surrendered, he could return to Qiao County to retire and live in glory and wealth for the rest of his life.
When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's letter, he laughed angrily.
Not only did Yuan Shao want to leave the foundation he had worked so hard for most of his life, he also wanted to give up completely and become a rich man!
So what does it mean that I have almost died several times over the years?
What do these brothers who follow him in the north and south of the war count?
He could not forget Dian Wei and his eldest son who died in Wancheng.
For their sake, he would never surrender to Yuan Shao.
However, what made him even more angry was that all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China started to remain silent when faced with Yuan Shao's current situation.
Even the manpower he arranged has monitored many civil and military ministers secretly sending people to deliver letters to Hebei.
Cao Cao's back teeth were almost broken.
These traitors!
If I, Cao Cao, gain the upper hand, I will kill you all!
But, he knew, couldn't.
Now this situation is very dangerous for me.
Once you can't control your temper, not only will your entire life's hard work be ruined, but your wife, children, and brothers may also die.
In addition to the pressure from Yuan Shao, the DPRK is also ready to take action recently.
Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei not far behind him, his face full of disappointment.
She regarded him as her confidant and gave him everything he wanted.
He was defeated by Lu Bu, and he sent people all the way to greet him. He also reported to the emperor that he, a man with no foundation, was appointed as General Zuo, leading Yuzhou as a pastoralist and commanding his hometown Qiao County.
I gave everything I could!
But not only was he not grateful, the people under him discovered that he was colluding with those in the court who were ready to take action. It seemed that he was preparing to take advantage of this crisis and put himself to death.
Cao Cao sighed tiredly.
I remember that when Dong Zhuo rebelled against the imperial court, he only raised troops to fight against the traitors to help the Han Dynasty.
Now that he has reached this point, he has to persevere in order to protect his family and brothers.
Once he loses power, I am afraid that the people in the court will all want to cut him into pieces.
It is difficult for his family and brothers to survive.
But they never thought about it. They really pushed me, Cao Cao, into a panic. I, Cao Cao, made up his mind and surrendered to Yuan Shao without asking for anything.
Do they really think they can still live the good life they have now?
Especially the immature and stupid emperor!
In the past few years, he had lived a good life in Xudu for a long time, and he seemed to have forgotten his fearful experience under Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
Seeing Cao Cao staring in the direction Chen Gong was leaving, Mrs. Bian reminded her softly: "Husband, it's time to go back."
Cao Cao then turned around, said yes, and turned to leave.
A small official galloped from the city on a war horse.
Cao Cao stopped.
He is a minor official under Xun Yu, and the Shangshutai is responsible for sorting out information.
The clerk stopped not far from Cao Cao, jumped off his horse quickly, held a bamboo tube in both hands, handed it to Cao Cao and said: "There is an emergency coming from the direction of Jingzhou!"
