The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 543 Bloodbath Chang'an

After Lu Bu gave Cao and Ma Zhong instructions, there was nothing to say.

"General, Madam..."

Xu Rong said hesitantly, before Dong Zhuo used Lv Bu's wife and daughter to make Lv Bu work for him, he knew it.Now that the old tricks of the officials in Chang'an City are repeated, and Lu Bu only arranged for Cao and Ma Zhongqing to pay, but did not arrange human rescue, Xu Rong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"A bunch of jumping clowns, nothing to be afraid of."

Lu Bu's answer was understated, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.Since these people dared to make such a bold move, they should also be prepared to suffer death.

Xu Rong saw that Lu Bu had a plan in mind, so he didn't say any more, and just stopped.

Everything was ready, after Cao and Ma Zhong said goodbye to Lu Bu, they took the Wolf Riding Battalion and headed towards Chang'an.

Chang'an City, the residence of Sikong Huangwan.

Those present in the meeting hall were still those officials from last night. They came to Huang Wan's mansion after they came down to court, waiting for Huang Wan's final order.

According to last night's plan, an operation should be launched at midnight tonight to capture Chang'an.

Now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired.

Knowing this truth well, Huang Wan didn't hesitate too much, he put all his wealth, life and bright future on this action.

So, only succeed, not fail!
At sunset and dusk, the people who had worked abroad for a day returned to the city one after another, and began to bury their pots and cook.

Standing on the high platform and pavilions of the imperial palace, you can see the lights of thousands of houses in the city.

After nightfall, the gates on all sides of Chang'an City were closed one by one.At the second watch, the streets in the city became deserted, except for the patrolling yamen servants, no other people would come and go.

The normal curfew in the city generally only has two functions, one is to prevent theft, and the other is to respond to the time.

If anyone walks on the street at this time, they will be regarded as robbers, and even if they are not, they will be arrested and sent to the government to be punished.

According to the time, it is in accordance with the work and rest time of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset", so that the people can sleep soundly, so that they can have energy to go to the fields the next day.

The night breeze blows slowly across the city, dispelling the heat of the day, making people feel cool and breezy.

On the east tower, Song Xian in armor was inspecting the city wall.Hou Cheng was in charge of the day, and he was in charge of the night.

Although the current Chang'an City is calm, Song Xian is still very conscientious and will patrol the city tower every night to make sure.

Lu Bu entrusted him with such an important burden, and he did not want to disappoint the general.

When Song Xian climbed the tower, a middle-aged general greeted him, nodding and bowing.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Song Xian looked suspicious, obviously he didn't know this person.

The middle-aged general replied with a smile: "General Song Rong, I was on duty under Wei Weiqing before I was humbled, and I was transferred to replace it temporarily tonight. You see, this is the transfer order of the Sikong Mansion."

After Song Xian checked it, it was indeed stamped with the seal of the Sikong Mansion, so he didn't say any more, but he was cautious in his heart.

For no reason, why did you suddenly replace the school officer guarding the city?

And, still without his knowledge.

If things go against the norm, there must be demons.

At that time, the city of Chang'an was very quiet, except for the palace and some mansions where there were candles burning, the people in the city had already fallen asleep.

At this time, many torches were suddenly lit up on the originally cold street, and the footsteps were hurried.

Song Xian happened to see this side from the corner of the city wall, his face was slightly gloomy, and he asked the middle-aged general beside him: "Officer Wu, why are there so many official errands on the street?"

Wu Bai's face was startled, and he quickly recovered, trying not to show his feet, and replied: "It is said that people from Tingwei's Mansion are planning to arrest a Jiangyang thief, and they will close the net tonight."

Song Xian is still skeptical about this, because he doesn't know about it.

When the government arrests thieves in the city, under normal circumstances, it will require the cooperation of the city guards, and at the very least, they will send a note to the guards.

"I think it's because the actions are relatively strict, and it's only natural that General Song didn't know about it." Wu Bai prevaricated.

However, Song Xian will not be fooled easily, he decided to go down to the city to find out what happened, so that he can rest assured.

Seeing this, Wu Bai's eyes suddenly became murderous, and he hurriedly said: "General Song, look outside the city!"

Song Xian turned his head, Wu Bai took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed straight away.

…………

Not long after, the officials on the streets of the city dispersed and rushed to different places in the city.

boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
Close to the market in the west of the city, the door of Lu Mansion was knocked heavily.

Just as the servants in the mansion opened the door, a group of thugs rushed in.

"Hey hey, who are you, do you know this is Marquis Wen's mansion?" The servant yelled loudly, completely ignoring these vicious guys.

In the past, the people who came to the mansion, not to mention the scholars and students who came to seek an official, even the big shots in the court, did not dare to be so presumptuous.

The leading ferocious man glanced around, lifted the servant in front of him with one arm in the air, watched him thrash about like a chicken, and asked, "Your wife, where are you now?"

The movement at the door quickly alarmed the guards in the mansion, and Li Hei, who was in charge of the guards, rushed over with a group of brothers.

There were two or three hundred people who came, far more than his own, and Li Hei's heart sank. These people were all dressed in black, and they had a fierce aura, which belonged to absolute desperadoes.

It is true: those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come.

Li Hei's gaze was fixed on the fierce man in the lead, and he asked in a deep voice, "Which way are you on, how dare you reveal your name."

The fierce man ignored him, and continued to ask the same question as before: "I'll ask you one last time, your wife, where are you now?"

Hearing this tone, Li He knew that there was no need to negotiate any further, and turning the blade in his hand, Hu shouted, "Kill!"

Facing an enemy several times larger than himself, none of the dozens of guards flinched behind them, clutching their armored swords tightly, and charged forward.

They were determined in their hearts that even if they died in this battle, they would never let these people hurt Madam and Young Master.

…………

In the south of Chang'an City, somewhere in the courtyard of a deep house.

This is one of the few mansions that are still lit with candles, compared to other mansions where the lights are turned off.

In the middle of the courtyard stood a middle-aged man with an upright face. At this moment, he was looking up at the dark night sky, dazed.

After a long time, Youyou sighed: Hey...

"Father, why are you sighing?"

A tall boy came up the corridor in the courtyard, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome face. Compared with his father, he was half a head taller.

"What I sigh for my father is that during this night, I don't know how many lives will die in vain. As my father, as Jing Zhaoyin, I can only watch helplessly and can't do anything."

Axiomically speaking, he should send someone to inform Lu Bu, but in terms of personal and family interests, he and Huang Wan and others are on the same line.

dilemma.

"Father thought Lu Bu would lose?" the boy asked in a low voice.

"Is not it?"

The middle-aged man asked back, his son always has a different view of things from ordinary people.

"My son begs to differ."

The young man shook his head slightly, and after getting his father's gaze to continue, he continued to narrate: "Lv Bu seems to act recklessly, with strong limbs and a simple mind. In fact, he is very charismatic, and all soldiers in the army are willing to follow him. Well, my boy was fortunate enough to hear this person's pre-war encouragement, it was indeed inspiring, and even my boy had the idea of ​​following the bloody battlefield at that time."

"Aside from these things, from the fact that Lu Bu was able to swallow his anger and dormant under Dong Zhuo for so long, it is enough to see that he is not a brave and reckless man."

The young man talked eloquently, and then listed a series of things in Xiliang and Hanzhong as supplements.

"You mean, Lu Bu has left behind in Chang'an?" After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man felt that what his son said seemed to have some truth.

The young man nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "My son can't guess what Lu Bu will do next, but I'm sure he will never sit still and wait for death."

The night is getting darker.

"Father, brother, why aren't you sleeping?"

In the corridor, an eight or nine-year-old young lady walked slowly, yawning.

"Second brother, why did you come out?" The elder brother asked with concern.

"Thirsty, come out and scoop up a bowl of water to drink." As he spoke, he walked to the water tank, picked up a bowl, scooped up a large bowl, and poured it down.

Afterwards, he saluted and said 'resignation' to his father and eldest brother, and walked to the room again.

"Zhong Da."

The boy seemed to remember something and called out.

Xiaozheng turned her head, her face was still the same as before, but her eyes became cold, like the sharpness of a knife.

Eagles watch wolves.

…………

Under the city of Xi'an in the south of Chang'an City, the sound of galloping horses' hoofs came from far to near.

A cavalry army of about 2000 people arrived at the city at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Who is coming?"

The guard on the tower was full of vigilance and asked.

"I am Pan Long, the vanguard of General Yuan. I came to Chang'an first by my lord's order to help you all." Cao Xing, pretending to be 'Pan Long', replied loudly.

Hearing these words, not only was the city leader not to be on guard, but he was relieved a lot.Although he couldn't see the appearance of the people in the city, he could see the 'Yuan' flag behind them very clearly.

"General Pan, wait here for a while, and I will reply to you after I go to report." After the general finished speaking, he sent someone to report to his teacher Geng Mi.

In the Geng Mansion, Geng Mi, the Patriarch, heard that Yuan Shu had sent a vanguard, and immediately burst out laughing with relief: "Yuan Gonggong is really smart, he knows that the infantry marches slowly, so he sent the cavalry first. With the help of this cavalry , why should we worry about uncertainties!"

Overjoyed, Mr. Geng immediately asked people to go back and tell the city guards to let the cavalry enter the city.

rumbling~
The heavy suspension bridge fell slowly, and the city guard general, who had obtained the teacher's permission, immediately had people open the city gate and let the cavalry army enter.

After Cao Xing led the wolf cavalry battalion into the pass, the city guard came down and hugged him, and said in a low voice, "General Pan, the teacher is waiting for you in the mansion, please go and discuss countermeasures."

Cao Xing glanced at this person, said 'huh' in a rough voice, and led the army towards the city.

The previous officials had already started to take action. Cao Xing and others who walked into the city could faintly hear shouts of killing coming from all around.

"Brother Cao, what should we do?" Ma Zhong beside him lowered his voice.

Cao Xing turned around and called out two names: "Li Feng and Ge Dan."

"I am humble!"

"The two of you will lead five hundred horses each, and will be responsible for clearing out the rebels on the streets of the city. As long as they walk on the streets, regardless of their reasons or identities, they will be killed."

When Cao Xing issued orders, he was no longer as frivolous as he usually is.

"Take orders!" Li Feng and Ge Dan clasped their fists at the same time.

"The rest, follow me."

After Cao Xing finished speaking, the 2000-man cavalry team was divided into three groups and spread out in the city.

When he came to the gate of Geng's mansion, Cao Xing ordered people to guard the door, and then led others to knock on the door.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The steward of the mansion opened the door, and when he saw Cao Xing, his face showed a little awe: "You are General Pan, my master is waiting for you in the hall..."

The old butler's voice stopped abruptly before the word 'you' came out of his mouth.Then with a plop, he fell to the ground and turned into a dead body that could no longer speak.

Cao Xing wiped the blood-stained blade, his expression was indifferent, as if he was killing pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep,
He gestured forward with his fingers, his voice was full of chill: "Don't let any one go."

Behind them, all the soldiers of the Wolf Riding Battalion rushed out to all the houses in the mansion, killing everyone they saw, like a group of ferocious beasts.

The servants and maidservants in the mansion fled in all directions, and the women who woke up in the middle of the night wailed mournfully, blood spattered to the windows, showing a streak of scarlet.

The sound of wailing, pain, and begging for mercy rang out together.

Mr. Geng couldn't accept the sudden change at all. Didn't he agree to help him?Why did they massacre the members of the Geng family instead!
The old man walked out of the hall tremblingly on crutches. Seeing his wife, concubine and children being trampled under his feet, his heart was bleeding, and he shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop!"

However, no one listened to his orders at all.

The old man trembling with anger, under the protection of the guards, came to Cao Xing, raised his cane as if to beat Cao Xing, and cursed angrily: "Do you know who I am? Are you going to rebel!"

Before the cane was lowered, Ma Zhong who was beside Cao Xing grabbed the cane first, exerted a slight force, and dragged Geng Mi staggeringly.

Cao Xing followed the trend and pierced Geng Mi's chest with the steel knife in his hand.

"My general, let me say hello to you."

With a smile on his face, Cao Xing looked at Geng Mi's blank expression, and added: "Oh, by the way, my general's surname is Lu, not Yuan."

"you……"

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Geng Mi, who was dying, vomited thick blood, his expression became very excited, and his wrinkled hands grabbed at random.He never thought that he would be the one who brought disaster to the Geng family.

The right hand that held the handle of the knife turned, crushing his heart.

Afterwards, Cao Xing pushed Geng Mi back, and the current Patriarch of the Geng family fell to the ground straight, dying with regret.

Half an hour ago, the Geng Mansion was peaceful and peaceful, but now it has become a hell on earth.

The courtyard in the mansion was filled with corpses in disorder, men, women, old and children, masters and servants...

After confirming that no fish slipped through the net, Cao Xing led his people out of the Geng Mansion, and closed the door behind him.

Ma Zhong took out the 'Book of Life and Death' from his pocket, and put an X on Geng Mi's name.

"Let's go, the next one."
