Chapter 635 Massacre of the City
It is said that Cao Ang has been smart since he was a child, has a humble temperament, has both civil and military talents, and is quite talented. He is praised as a peerless talent by those who do good things. Although his biological mother Liu died young, he was raised by Meng De's legitimate wife, Mrs. Ding, and has the honor of being the eldest son. Cao Cao also loved him very much and always cultivated him as his successor.
At this moment, Yin and Yang were suddenly separated. Cao Cao remembered that he didn't know how to explain to his beloved wife, Mrs. Ding, and couldn't help but have a splitting headache. He sent an order to massacre the city and avenge him. He fell into a coma and woke up, and never mentioned the headache. Cheng Yu hurried down to deliver the order, and secretly asked Cao Hong to invite Cao Ren, the generals of the Xiahou Dun tribe, etc. to come and persuade him. He openly ordered the three armies to loot, but he strictly ordered not to burn, kill or rape women. Moreover, the looting must stop when it reaches You, and those who disobey the order will be executed. This will preserve a little reputation for the lord.
However, Cao Jun's troops had always used looting to obtain food and grass. They immediately looted the whole city after giving an order. When they encountered slight resistance, their swords and swords had no eyes, so they naturally killed many people. How could they stop this?
Fortunately, Cheng Yu led Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry to patrol the city, and with some suppression, many lives were saved. Wherever Cheng Yu went, he saw the whole city wailing all over the place. He knew that the people were innocent and suffered this disaster, and he couldn't bear it. However, Cheng Yu has always had a stubborn personality and was disliked by the officials. In the current chaos, no one would listen to his command.
Cheng Yu felt angry in his heart, but had no choice but to find an empty space with the Hubao Cavalry and wait for the arrival of Youshi. It was estimated that several generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family would be able to persuade Cao Cao to give up the massacre and then go out to restrain the troops. .
But at this moment, in the city lord's palace, several generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family were gathered around a sand table with Cao Cao, looking at the flags marked on the sand table. Cao Cao's headache had just healed. He looked at one of the lines on the sand table and said, "Yang Feng and Han Xian should have fled to the Luohe area at this moment. If they are pursued, they need to prepare to cross the river."
Cao Hong also stared at the sand table and said: "It is not the behavior of a man to not avenge this hatred. Now there are more than 200,000 troops. Let's simply determine the strategy of annihilating Yuan Shu and see where Yang Feng can go." He pointed to a few The sign on the city sign said: "To the west is Wancheng. If you capture it, you can attack Luoyang. But Wancheng belongs to the Qinglong Army and has always been guarded by good generals and soldiers. There is no need to mess with him for the time being. At present, we can only attack Xu County to the north. Only then can we open up the channel to attack Luoyang."
Cao Ren, whose face was as dark as water, nodded in agreement: "Fight all the way north, I understand Yuan Shu's soldiers can't stop it. It's just a gentleman's revenge. It's not too late in ten years. Behind us, if the Qinglong Army and Jiangdong Army jointly attack, , whether it is Runan or Pengcheng, but there is insufficient troops and food, and it is difficult to defend. When the time comes, stealing chickens will not be enough to lose rice. If you capture the Luohe River first, and then return to Qingzhou along the Luohe River through your hometown to recuperate and explore north and west, the time is ripe. It would be a prudent plan to attack Luoyang later."
The hometown Cao Ren mentioned was naturally Qiaojun, the seat of the Cao family. The Cao family has become quite influential in Qingyan and Qingzhou in recent years, and the ancestral temple has naturally been built and flourished. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, now sits in the Qiao County clan general altar.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun listened to the ideas of Cao Hong and Cao Ren. One supported Cao Hong to march north to Luoyang and eliminate Yuan Shu, and the other supported Cao Ren to shrink the southern front and recuperate. The four of them kept arguing. Cao Cao had a headache again and shouted: "Shut up, everyone." !”
Seeing Cao Cao sitting down holding his head, the four people quickly rushed over to support him.
Seeing Cao Cao fainting, Cao Ren sighed: "I didn't expect that even Dian Wei died in the battle. Then Yang Feng really deserved his death. Meng De cannot be without a general guard. Who do you think can take on this important task?"
Cao Hong said: "Originally the tiger idiot Xu Chu was the best choice, but unfortunately this big mistake was caused by him, and it is unknown whether the lord will be punished."
Cao Cao woke up in a moment and happened to hear Xu Chu's words. He snorted and shook his head and sighed: "What crime is Xu Chu guilty of? Ang'er's fate is not good, how can I kill the general again. Let Xu Chu replace Dian Wei and be my new bodyguard." General."
When the four generals heard this, they all felt that Cao Cao's context was desolate, and they all quickly answered yes. Cao Cao continued to sigh: "The city has been massacred for a whole day, so let's send an order and ask them to stop."
The time at this moment happened to be close to You hour. The dusk sun shone in the chaotic Runan City, and the streets almost turned red with blood. Cao Cao's order finally reached Cheng Yu's ears. Cheng Yu was shocked and told Cao Xiu: "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! Immediately send troops to enforce the law! Anyone who refuses to listen to dissuasion and continues to rob and kill will be killed without mercy!"
Cheng Yu was busy blocking the massacre of the city, while Cao Cao had decided to adopt Cao Hong's suggestion and marched heavily into Xu County to open up a channel to attack Luoyang. Cao Jun buried pots and made rice all night. After a night's rest, he set off in large numbers tomorrow morning, leaving only a few thousand troops to guard the city, vowing to capture Luoyang.
Cheng Yu led the tiger and leopard cavalry everywhere and loudly announced the lord's order, prohibiting the massacre of the city. Cao's army restrained themselves after hearing this, and gradually withdrew from Runan City and returned to the military camp. Cheng Yu led the army everywhere, and saw ruins everywhere, blood all over the ground, and the sound of children calling for father and mother. He deeply hated himself for having such a vain plan, but could not save all the people from the fire and water.
People with uncanny ideas have always been determined to save the people and serve their favorite lord, firstly for the benefit of the clan, and secondly because they can't bear to see the lives of people in ruins. Cheng Yu was riding along the street when he suddenly saw a fire in a house not far away. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. He quickly shouted: "Fight the fire!"
Hubaoqiu quickly rode forward, took some wooden barrels, and organized the collection of water to put out the fire. The fire gradually extinguished, and Cheng Yu shouted and asked: "My lord has an order. The Youshi hour has passed. It is strictly forbidden to burn, kill and loot again. Violators will be executed! Who is so bold? Why don't the tiger and leopard riders step forward and take someone away?"
Dozens of tiger and leopard riders agreed and were about to step forward when suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves on the street and a horse galloped over. Sitting on the horse was a very tall warrior with blood dripping from a long-handled machete. Even the leader's face was covered with blood. Cao Xiu's sharp eyes recognized him at a glance: "General Xu Chu!"
The coming general is Xu Chu, the tiger fool. Now his body is covered in blood, and he is obviously killing happily. When Xu Chu saw Cheng Yu and Cao Xiu opposite him, he snorted and said, "Commander, why are you blocking my troops?"
Cheng Yu said angrily: "General Xu, the Prime Minister has an order to stop the massacre of the city immediately after the You hour. Why are you still sending troops to burn and kill here?"
Xu Chu heard this and said angrily: "Cheng Zhongde! The young master died because of me. Dian Wei's body is still cold. How could the prime minister give such an order? You are here to pretend to pass military orders. Who dares to stop me from slaughtering the city? Ask my sword first for permission. No!"
Cheng Yu was the military advisor personally appointed by Cao Cao for this southern expedition. Hearing this, he was furious and said: "Xu Chu! You are disobeying orders and disrespecting me. Do you want to cause rebellion?"
Xu Chu ignored him. When he saw his subordinate soldiers gathered together, he shouted: "My sons, don't pay attention to Military Advisor Cheng. He is just joking there! All follow me!"
Cheng Yu was furious and shouted suddenly, "Who dares!"
After saying that, he drew out the thin sword from his waist with a "buzz" sound and shouted: "Hubaoqi, whoever dares to disobey the military order again will be killed immediately!" Hubaoqi quickly responded in unison, bluffing Xu Chu's men. The soldiers' feet seemed to have taken root, and they didn't dare to move any more.
Xu Chu laughed angrily and said, "Cheng Zhongde, even the toy in your hand, do you want to stop me, the tiger idiot?"
Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Although the sword is thin, it can still kill people! Do you want to try it?"
Xu Chu raised his blood-stained eyebrows, like the god of death in hell, and shouted: "You counselors, you treat yourself like a prime minister every day, but it's actually just for your own selfish interests. Now that the young master died tragically, you don't want to avenge him. I, Xu Chu, am the first one." Don’t accept it! I will continue to massacre the city tonight! If you don’t come with me, don’t be my soldier again!”
The last words he shouted were directed at his subordinates. Cheng Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted wildly: "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! Get Xu Chu who disobeys me. If he resists, he will be killed without mercy!"
