Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 492 This Cao Cao is not authentic
Seeing Cao Jun rushing all over the mountains and wild wolves, Liu Xie regretfully wiped the Yitian sword that was not stained with blood at all, and sighed helplessly.But at this time, Xu Huang ran back covered in blood, and shouted at Liu Xie, "Your Majesty has a clever plan, and I will win a big victory. It's enjoyable, this battle is really enjoyable!"

"But I'm not addicted at all." Liu Xie shook his head angrily, and then shouted at Xu Huang: "I wiped the sword all night, and even burned incense and bathed, just for this moment to be able to rely on the three-foot sword Drink the blood of rebellious soldiers and show off the power of a man! But you are good, every time I swing the sword, the sword has not hurt anyone, and the ax will chop the enemy into a bloody mess. There is no beauty here, what is there? feelings?!"

Xu Huang's open mouth couldn't close immediately, and he asked Liu Xie with some puzzlement: "Your Majesty, aren't you happy that we won the battle? Besides, the last general will protect you well... "

"Nonsense, when Xiahoudun saw me waiting to send troops, he immediately cut off his wrists and led the main force to retreat. This battle has been a one-sided massacre from the beginning, do you think we will lose?!" Liu Xie also knew that he should not blame Xu Huang. From the general's point of view, Xu Huang's performance this time has been regarded as the champion of the three armies, which is remarkable.

The only thing that makes Liu Xie a little dissatisfied is that he finds that the longer Xu Huang stays with him, the more he departs from the image of the "resolute, brave, and Zhou Yafu-style" five-son good general in history. On the contrary... he looks more and more like a tease.

"Next time, I'll let Zilong come to protect me." Liu Xie turned his horse's head angrily, showing some resentment: "Gongming, the closer we get, the less you understand my heart..."

"Your Majesty, do you miss the queen?" Xu Huang scratched his head, and suddenly burst out the truth.

Then, Lu Bu, who had been hiding behind Xu Huang and listening to the two of them arguing, suddenly became a little stiff.Then he looked back at his daughter whose expression also changed slightly, Lu Bu suddenly felt that this victory didn't seem to be worth being so pleasant.

But after all, this night was not delayed for half a minute because of Liu Xie's complaints, Xu Huang's grievances, or the unspeakable thoughts of Lu's father and daughter.When the sun rose again, the city of Puyang ushered in a long-lost joy.

The news that the Emperor of Han defeated Cao Jun spread to every household in Puyang City that night, and on the second day, the common people saw that the prefect's mansion was filled with delicious food, and they let the common people take it for themselves.At the beginning, none of the common people dared to stretch out their hands, even the beggars who would usually give up their lives for a bite of food, did not dare to move.

However, when someone finally discovered that standing in front of the prefect's mansion was no longer the vicious Bingzhou soldiers, but the smiling Han soldiers who offered food to the people, Puyang City immediately became lively.Fortunately, the Han army seems to be very experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. After a hundred people lined up in an aisle, the celebration was quickly made to have fun with the people, and there was no stampede or riot at all.

After that, the people in Puyang City became inexplicably happy, and they spontaneously celebrated the victory with lanterns and festoons.Lv Bu, who was standing on the tall building of the prefect's mansion, frowned in confusion: "Your Majesty, do you really think that a meal can make the people of Puyang return to their hearts?"

"Of course it's impossible." Liu Xie, standing in front of Lu Bu, shook his head naturally, looked back at Lu Bu who was frowning in thought, and then continued, "However, people's hearts are not as complicated as imagined. Especially in such troubled times, the people actually pray for very little. You only need to give them a sign, a little hope, and they can't help but yearn for a good direction. What they fear most is that there is no hope at all."

No matter how much Lu Bu understood, Liu Xie turned around and walked towards the lobby, not forgetting to urge Lu Bu: "Come back, this celebration is a last resort, after this meal, we should I went out of the city and fought with Cao Bing..."

Lu Bu nodded silently. He knew that although the Han army repelled Cao's army this time, it was not a complete victory.The victory last night was just a battle of defeat, not a battle of complete annihilation.In fact, in the cold weapon period, most of the battles were defeat battles, and it only took two or three days for the defeated soldiers to surround them again.

If it weren't for Puyang's unrest, Liu Xie didn't need to stay in the city for a day this time, but directly pushed Cao Jun, not giving them a chance to breathe.

However, even so, Lu Bu still felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.Moreover, from the very beginning, Lu Bu felt that Liu Xie did not intend to go all out for a quick victory in this battle.And this is obviously inappropriate for our own side, which is at a strategic disadvantage.

Lu Bu really wanted to ask Liu Xie why, but whenever he looked at the young man, he felt that the thick fog on the young man was very heavy.That kind of temperament that can't see through people often makes a brave general like Lu Bu unable to speak.

Just like now, Liu Xie's back seemed a little thin to Lu Bu.But by no means thin, it is the wisdom of the young man.

Therefore, Lu Bu could only decide to put on a smiling face and follow Liu Xie into the hall of celebration.It's just that today's Lu Bu is different from the past, and he is more cautious and humble.It was this carefulness that made him suddenly realize that there was one person missing in such a feast full of city celebrations.

Lu Bu was also very familiar with that person.His name is Chen Gong.

At this time, Chen Gong was walking on a rugged mountain road 240 miles away in Taishan County. He was accompanied by a young man who looked very young.Chen Gong was walking slowly with a blue bag on his back, but the young man was holding a wolf stick to explore the way ahead.Both of them had a circle of sage canopy tied around their heads - this is something that people in Yanzhou love when they go out. It costs almost nothing, and it can not only shade the sun, but also shelter from the rain.

The two of them at this moment are not at all like the scholar-bureaucrats who stand high in the hall and guide the world.On the contrary, the coarse cloth clothes of the two were covered with dust and patches, which looked a little thin in this weather.No matter how you look at it, they look like a pair of refugees fleeing for their lives.

Suddenly, the young man in front of him suddenly stopped, and carefully pulled Chen Gong into the woods on the side of the mountain.But after he bent down and listened for a while, his brows relaxed again, and he led Chen Gong back to the mountain road.It just so happened that at this time, a flat-bed double carriage used for cargo transportation turned around the foot of the mountain behind them, and they didn't see the hiding of the two before.

Chen Gong stood quietly on the mountain road, waiting for the truck to pass by, but the young man waved his hand to the truck, but he still looked a bit cautious and asked, "Brother, can you give us a ride with our troubled father and son?"

The coachman glanced at Chen Gong and the young man, and patted his chest boldly: "No problem, I am a delivery car for Cao Ying. It is a blessing for you to meet me." After saying this, the coachman looked at Glancing at the young man, he seemed to feel that there are not many filial sons in the troubled times: "You two, where are you going?"

"Please send us to Tai'an, thank you." The young man had a strong Yanzhou accent, and he sounded like a local.

"Come on, I'm going to the front to deliver cowhide to Cao Ying, and I happened to be on the way. However, now that Cao's army has captured Shanyang and Rencheng, and is gathering in Taishan County, you will be interrogated along the way. Look at your luck." The coachman said self-consciously, then moved his buttocks, stretched out his hand and dragged the two into the cart, then flicked his whip, and the two horses continued to run forward with the cart.

No matter which era, the driver of the goods is the most talkative, and this driver is no exception.As soon as he drove, he chatted endlessly.

Chen Gong was a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you send cowhide to Cao Ying? This can be used to make leather armor. Shouldn't it have been confiscated long ago?"

The coachman smiled, and casually said something that made Chen Gong look strange: "Thanks to our emperor! In the past, those Cao troops would definitely plunder, but the emperor opened up the world's trade and took the initiative to pay for these things. You Who are the common people willing to hand over the supplies to? Cao Cao has no choice but to follow suit and buy these military supplies wantonly, which actually gives us ordinary people a way to survive."

After saying this, the coachman seemed to feel a little worried, and muttered to himself: "The emperor seems to be a good emperor, and Cao Cao treated us well in the past. Well, this time, because of the short distance, we can sell it to Cao Jun... I don’t know. , What is the emperor fighting with Cao Cao?"

"Cao Cao slaughtered the whole of Xuzhou, killing more than [-] people! He also said that the famous scholars in Yanzhou gave way, such as tigers and wolf thieves, how can you do it?..." After all, Chen Gong couldn't hold back his hatred for Cao Cao, look at this fool So ignorant, couldn't help blurting out.

But this sentence was blocked by the coachman immediately: "Then what does it matter to us?"

Chen Gong's expression turned a little angry, but he was held down by the young man beside him, and he shook his head slightly in warning.Afterwards, the young man said to the coachman: "But I heard that Cao Cao killed Bian Rang and slept with his beautiful concubine..."

"Ah?..." When the coachman heard this, his face became unhappy: "This Cao Cao is so fucking unreasonable!"
