But he said that Tong Guan had taken Liu Zhibo by himself. He was confident that the thieves in Wancheng had no leader, so there was nothing to worry about. He only waited until dawn when Chen Xiong soldiers under the city and called for the door to be opened. So he drank a few glasses of wine with great satisfaction and went to sleep peacefully.
As the saying goes, the leading generals imitated the commander-in-chief's wantonness when they saw it. They drank or gambled. When they got sleepy, they went to sleep separately. They all thought: "Everyone can camp together. He is a veteran in the army, so I won’t ask, someone will naturally take care of it. If I say too much, maybe this duty of guarding will fall on me.”
When Liu Yanqing and Han Shizhong saw that the army was so slack, they couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "If these people fight with Xia Dog, ten of their heads will be cut off." Han Shizhong said: "General, they can't help, we are waiting for them. Don't worry about it, even if the thieves attack at night, we are all tiger generals here, and killing one of them will turn defeat into victory, just to convince that idiot."
Having said that, he still ordered all the troops to be on alert, not to disarm while sleeping, and to keep their weapons at hand.
Only Cao Cao really couldn't sleep.
After tossing and turning, I stood up and walked out of the tent. I looked up and saw the sky covered with clouds and the moon was hidden. My thoughts were ups and downs in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of the old things of Youyou:
That year, he led an army of 150,000 to conquer Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu surrendered and invited Cao Cao into the city, where he entertained him for several days. One day when he was drunk and returned to his bed, he suddenly felt lonely and asked a sentence that he regretted for half his life: "In this city..."
So I met Zou, and they fell in love with each other. They slept together that night, a lonely husband and a widow who had been away for a long time. The taste of that night was like oil mixed with honey, thick and sweet, hard to separate.
Zou said: "If you stay in the city for a long time, you will be suspicious of your embroidery, and you are afraid of outsiders talking about it." Cao said to him, "Tomorrow I will go live with my wife in the village." The next day, they moved outside the city to have a rest, and the two had fun day and night without thinking. The date of return - no coincidence, the resting place at that time was not far from the current camp.
Thinking of Mrs. Zou, Lao Cao smiled after thinking, that woman, I have to say, was really pretty.
But then, the smile on his face turned bitter, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten, but he thought of the general Dian Wei who died heroically because of his unethical behavior, his beloved son Cao Ang, his nephew Cao Anmin, and even his horse Jueying.
He secretly thought to himself: Thousands of years have passed, and the king's ambitions and hegemony are all in vain. It can be seen that the people who cannot be forgotten are only sentimental and righteous. In a certain previous life, he was just running for hegemony, and gradually he couldn't help himself. How many feelings had he let down? It's rare to wake up in this life, but you must never go back to the future.
For a moment, I thought of Sun An and Geng Gong charging into the battle during the day. Even though I felt it was wrong, I risked my life to rush forward. I couldn't help but feel proud: If in my previous life, I was proud of my status and was responsible for the survival of the world, how could I have done this risk? It can be seen that this life is full of joy after all.
The more he thought about it, the more his thoughts fluctuated, and suddenly another idea came to his mind: Dian Wei is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery, and Ang'er is pure and filial to the people. The three of them died heroically, and they might have become gods long ago. Since I am here in my hometown, why not send this message to him? , to express condolences?
Thinking of this, I couldn't stay any longer, so I simply went to the kitchen camp, took a jar of wine with me, found some pig's feet and lamb legs, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, held a short ax in my hand, and quietly committed suicide. Leave the camp at the side gate.
After walking for about a mile, I saw a solitary tree on the open land, with lush branches and leaves that could be counted. Not far away was the Qingshui River. Although it was dark and I couldn't see the whole picture, I could smell the gurgling sound. The water flows like a harp or a zither.
Cao Cao recognized it for a moment and shed tears - there used to be this lone tree in the courtyard gate, more than three feet high, far from the towering tree it is today, but the variety was average.
He stood silently for a moment, jumped up, folded some leaves, put them together into the shape of several plates, took out the pig's feet and lamb legs, chopped them into large pieces with a short ax, put them on those leaves, and then he He sat down on the ground and cried sadly: "Dianjun, Ang'er, Anmin... Where are your heroic souls? If you become a god, come and drink with me!"
After shouting a few times, he took the wine jar and slapped it away. He took three swigs and then poured half the jar of wine onto the ground with a wave of his hand.
The wine quickly spread into the soil, leaving a few wet marks. Looking at it in the night, it looked like blood from the past. Cao Cao burst into tears when he saw it.
The rustling sound of the wind blew from the Qingshui River, and the leaves above my head were whispering like an old friend.
Cao Cao drank a few more sips of wine and shook his head. He felt that the wine he drank tonight made him feel dizzy for some reason.
He sighed and smiled with tears in his eyes: "That's all, I'm just crazy. General Dian Wei, you must have been reincarnated as my younger brother Erlang! After all, your stature and face are really similar, and the halberd technique he practiced at home is also close to that of the general." The number of roads - but if this is the case, Ang'er and Anmin, your heroic souls are still there, why don't you come out and be with me for a while?"
He tilted his head and waited for a moment, then said to himself: "Could it be that you two have also been reincarnated? Ang'er, if you are reincarnated, you should be my son again. Now that I have passed this year, I have no children, and Sanniang gave birth to her. My son, if you are reincarnated, you will no longer have to go through the pain of conquest and fighting. When you grow up, the world will be settled, and you will be the lord of peace and enjoy peace and happiness. I will be considered as repaying your karma as my father."
After taking a few sips, he smiled more and more: "Xianmin Anmin, if you are reincarnated, you will be my son in this life. You will assist your brother and live in peace together. This is my uncle's wish for you."
I thought that An Min, a kid who admired literary talents and was very romantic, looked a bit like me. Zou was beautiful, and he recommended her to me after he discovered her first. Therefore, if this child is reincarnated, the mother should be a teacher.
He was thinking happily when suddenly the ground shook. Cao Cao was startled at first, and then said happily: "Ah, could it be that my son and nephew have indeed become gods and are rushing to see me? Otherwise, why is there such a big movement?"
He blinked his drunken eyes, stood up somewhat staggeringly, and was about to go out to greet him.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the ground, and all the leaves and pieces of pork and mutton placed on the plate were swept up into the sky. In just a moment, the clouds and mist in the sky disappeared, and only a bright moon was seen hanging high in the sky. The sky filled the earth with silver light. Cao Cao let out a low cry and suddenly saw clearly, where was his nephew? It was clearly the thousands of horses and troops coming out of Wancheng! The one closest to him is only twenty or thirty feet away.
Cao Cao was so surprised that he was so drunk that he broke into a cold sweat. His head suddenly became clear. He screamed strangely, picked up his hatchet, turned around and ran away.
Those traitor soldiers were blown up by a strange gust of wind, and many of them were confused and stood there rubbing it. A few who saw the opportunity saw Cao Cao wearing armor and shouted, "That's a Song general, don't do that." He left to report the news."
When these bandits drove out of the city, they were in good order. However, they did not dare to light torches for the surprise attack. However, tonight it was cloudy and dark, and there were many blindfolded birds among the bandit soldiers, pulling each other and walking in one piece. At this moment, I heard The companions exclaimed, and in the chaos, only a dozen horse soldiers reacted faster, jumped on their horses and chased Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's legs were moving very fast, but due to their limited length, he heard the sound of hoofbeats coming from behind him not far away, and secretly shouted: "That's it, I got blinded today and went out to the camp alone. Unexpectedly, I died here."
Just when he was getting discouraged, another gust of wind suddenly came. Although it was not as strong as before, it blew down countless branches and leaves from the lone tree, and fell on the faces of the group of horse soldiers. The horse soldiers were suddenly confused. Cao Cao turned around and saw it, and was shocked. He was overjoyed and shouted: "My sons and nephews are here to help me!"
His courage suddenly increased, he suddenly stood up and turned around, threw the hatchet with his hand, and hit a soldier in the face. The soldier screamed and fell down. Cao Cao stepped aside to let the galloping horse pass, jumped from the side, and grabbed the saddle. , turned over and rode up.
A thief mounted his horse and thrust a spear at him. Cao Cao immediately turned aside and let the spear go halfway under his arm. He suddenly clamped it. At this time, the two men were close. Cao Cao punched the cavalryman unconscious and snatched it away. took his spear.
With a gun in his hand, Cao Cao showed no fear and slowed down his horse. When the horsemen caught up with him, he swung his spear, stabbed, smashed, picked or swung, killing five or six people in a row. The remaining ones screamed, "Strangle" The horse turned and ran away.
Cao Cao turned around and saw that the bandits were as numerous as ants. He thought to himself: "The thieves are quite courageous. With so many people robbing the camp, they have to accomplish their feats in one battle."
He then rode his horse around the camp, hit the fence with his gun, and shouted: "The thieves from Huaixi have arrived, the thieves from Huaixi have arrived." After shouting dozens of times, the camp gradually became commotion, and several thieves were about to see him. He was furious, with the bright moon shining like this. If Song soldiers woke up and went to fight, wouldn't a good night attack turn into a field battle? Several people urged in unison: "Don't stop, fight in, fight in!"
Cao Cao thought to himself: "Let's block him for a while longer. If I block him for a while longer, I will have more troops and horses to be prepared!"
With the idea firmly in mind, he turned the horse's head and shouted loudly: "The thieves should not be so rampant. If you want to rob my camp, you must first get past me, Wu Dalang!"
After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed towards the enemy's formation. Taking advantage of the enemy's disarray, he stabbed out his spear one after another, killing the traitors and killing them so much that they screamed in surprise.
When the thief general Chen Jie saw Cao Cao showing off his power, he clenched his teeth in anger and shouted: "That short general, stop being so arrogant, wait until someone comes to give you a clear view from both sides."
Among the several thieves, he was the closest. He immediately charged towards them with his spear. Cao Cao was calm and swept his spear across the white ground. He waved his spear to block the opponent. The two of them killed each other seven or eight times. Suddenly, the bowstring sounded. An arrow shot through the air!
There are different teachings: Immediately in front of the camp, there are iron spears. I am the only one in charge of all the troops. The long wind blows the floating clouds, and the heroic spirit bursts into the bright moonlight.
