Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 343 Cao Qin ([-])

three days later

Pizhou
"General! You can't abandon Xuzhou!"

"Aren't you afraid that the Wang family will hand you over to Cao Cao?"

Chen Gong was hysterical and wanted to prevent Lu Bu from running away with the people who were in the Pi.

However, the Wang family's fleet has come to Xiapi along the Huai River (Huai River).

(The Huaihe River at the end of the Han Dynasty had its own estuary to the sea. The Sanyi Huihe River in the Northern Song Dynasty tossed the Yellow River and Huaihe River miserably, and wiped out the Huaihe River's estuary to the sea.)
The leader of the fleet is Tai Shici, who is directing the sailors and security guards to maintain order and allow the people in Xiapi to board the ship in an orderly manner.

"Lu Bu!"

In desperation, Chen Gong called Lu Bu by his name directly, and angrily reprimanded him: "It won't be long before your head will be sent to Xuchang!"

"Hey...Gongtai!" Lu Bu was not angry because Chen Gong called him by his first name, but instead persuaded Chen Gong: "Why don't you go with me to join the Wang family and serve the Wang family?"

"Hahaha!" Chen Gong laughed back angrily: "You coward, if you want to go, you go by yourself. I, Chen Gong, swear to live and die with Xuzhou! I will fight Cao Cao to the end!"

"Crazy, crazy, I don't care about you, I'll go to Liaodong to enjoy the blessing first." Lu Bu gathered all kinds of talents in Xiapi County and let them board the boat.

Half an hour later, all the talents had been loaded onto the ship, a total of 450 doctors, 130 six craftsmen, 120 two poor scholars, plus Lu Bu's family, as well as Lu Bu's generals and their families, a total of 730 six people , these people add up to [-] people.

Ordinary soldiers and common people stayed in Xiapi, defending the city with Chen Gong.

At this time, boom!

An army appeared in the distance, it was Cao Jun who had finally burned, killed and looted Pengcheng, and now came to Xiapi to continue to attack the city.

"Don't let Lu Bu run away!" General Cao Jun Xiahou Dun shouted loudly.

"kill!"

Xiahou Dun took the lead and led thousands of cavalrymen from the Cao army to kill the royal fleet.

"Get ready! Let go!" Tai Shici commanded five hundred crossbowmen to shoot arrows.

shhhhhh!
kaoliang!
The crossbowmen are worthy of being the formidable enemy of the cavalry. Cao Jun's cavalry was shot down a large area, but the crossbowmen need to be protected by the city wall or teammates to show their strength. Otherwise, it is easy to be surrounded by the cavalry after firing a round of arrows. After all, it takes time to load arrows. It takes about 1 breaths to load an arrow. A skilled crossbowman can load an arrow in [-] breaths. This is considered an elite crossbowman. slow. (one breath = [-] second)
hiss--

"Wow!--"

The sharp archer Lu Lingqi stood on the boat, aimed at Xiahou Dun with a bow, and shot an arrow.

call out!
"what!--"

Xiahoudun screamed, it turned out that the arrow just shot into his eyes, blinding him.

"Qi'er, your archery skills are close to becoming a father." Lu Bu was also very surprised that his daughter had such superb archery skills.

"General!" At the same time, Cao Jun's generals protected the injured Xiahou Dun one after another.

puff!

Enduring the severe pain, Xiahou Dun pulled out the arrow stuck in his eyeball, and muttered to himself, "How can I discard the blood of my parents?"

After all, Xiahoudun stuffed his bloody eyeball into his mouth and chewed, bloody juice shot out suddenly, and Xiahoudun swallowed the dehydrated eyeball directly into his stomach.

This scene frightened Lu Bu on the boat. He couldn't swallow his own eyeballs for the sake of so-called filial piety.

"It's so ruthless!" Lu Bu murmured, and then he was very thankful that he escaped in time, otherwise he would not know how he died when he ran into Cao Cao's ruthless men.

Lu Bu originally thought that he was ruthless enough to rob and dig graves every day, but after meeting Cao Cao, he realized that he was still too tender.

Cao Jun directly massacred the city, and there is also an official position dedicated to digging graves [Mojin Xiaowei].

"There is also a special official position for digging graves. This Cao Mengde is much more ruthless than Lu Bu." Lu Bu was very afraid of Cao Cao, just like a little devil is afraid of a big devil.

Lu Bu's subordinates Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also boarded the ship.

In fact, Gao Shun is really loyal to Lu Bu's confidant, while Zhang Liao doesn't think so much, he just simply works for Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Xu Rong belong to the same kind of people, they are capable, and they will be loyal without being stupid, as long as they don't violate Bottom line, it doesn't matter who you work for.

(In history, Zhang Liao did not prefer death to surrender, and then moved Cao Cao with loyalty. Instead, after being captured, he took the initiative to jump to Cao Cao's camp. Gao Shun, who was really loyal and refused to surrender, was killed by Cao Cao.)
(However, Zhang Liao's behavior is not considered a betrayal, because at that time Lu Bu had been ordered to be executed by Cao Cao.)
(This is completely different from Lu Bu. Lu Bu killed the old boss while he was still alive, and then used the head of the old boss as a vote to join the new boss. Zhang Liao only did it after the old boss was dead. Find a new boss and continue to work, just work as a worker.)
(As a simple migrant worker, Zhang Liao has no psychological burden to work for the Wang family by the way without betraying his old boss Lu Bu.)
(Thus those who take the initiative to collect counselors and generals are very stupid. People who are willing to follow you don’t need you to collect them. After your fame and strength arrive, they will actively run to you and beg you to use him. If you don’t want to People who follow you, even if you visit every day, they will not look at you.)
(This is the same as chasing a girl. If you look right, you don’t need to chase after her, it will happen naturally. If you don’t look right, you will only make the other person feel irritable and disgusted if you visit every day.)
The Wang family never took the initiative to collect counselors and generals, they always waited for them to come to the Wang family on their own initiative.

For example, Gongsundu, Xu Rongtai, Shici, and Lu Lingqi were all like this. The Wang family never thought of recruiting them. Instead, they took the initiative to find the Wang family and want to be loyal.

Under the deterrence of the crossbowmen, and Xiahou Dun was injured, Cao Jun stopped the pursuit and began to besiege the city instead to prevent Chen Gong from escaping.

"Mr. Chen's mind has been affected by hatred, just like Wu Zixu back then, he is no longer normal." The girl Lu Lingqi shook her head and sighed, feeling sorry for Chen Gong.

"Hey...won't you go to Liaodong with me to enjoy the blessings? Do you have to stay in Xuzhou and fight Cao Cao to death?" After all, after getting along for so many years, even if the two sides only used each other at the beginning, it is inevitable that things will grow in love for a long time. Lu Bu still feels for Chen Gong It's a pity.

Amid everyone's regret for Chen Gong, the Wang family's fleet left the Huaishui River, came to the East China Sea, and headed straight for Liaodong.

On the city wall, only Chen Gong is still holding on to the city. He would rather die than surrender to Cao Cao!
a few months later
The Spring of the Sixth Year of Xingping (199)
Boom!

Cao Jun had blocked the Huai River for several months, and finally accumulated enough water, and then destroyed the dam to release the flood.

Under the submersion of the flood, the city wall began to collapse, and many Cao soldiers even entered the city by boat.

At this moment, Chen Gong finally couldn't hold on, and was captured by Yu Jin in his dying struggle.

"Gongtai, long time no see." When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous. Cao Cao also hated Chen Gong and hated Chen Gong's behavior of betraying him.

"Cao Thief!" Even if he was tied up, Chen Gong would still yell at Cao Cao, "I only hate Lu Bu for being a coward and a fool, for refusing to listen to my plan, otherwise you will already be hacked to pieces by me right now!"

"Chen Gong!" Cao Cao scolded angrily: "Since you are obsessed with your obsession, then I will not show mercy, but for the sake of our acquaintance, I will only kill you and not hurt your wife and children. I will take care of your wife. , don't worry about it!"

"Hahahaha! Even you Cao thief still has a bit of humanity!" Chen Gong laughed loudly and died generously.

"Humph!"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and then ordered the soldiers to behead Chen Gong.
