Chapter eight hundred and eighty first: assassinating Lu Bu
The Cao Wei soldiers began to retreat from Xuzhou, as if they were about to give up Xuzhou.
The first person to retreat was Xia Pi. When the scout reported the news, Lu Bu couldn't help but frowned slightly.
No, how could Cao Cao give up Xuzhou so easily?
Because even if he led a large army to Sizhou now, it was actually too late.
Cao Cao's approach means that he gave up Xuzhou and could not protect Sizhou.
With Cao Cao's wisdom, it is impossible to imagine this.
Since he could think of this, but did so again, there must be some conspiracy in it.
But for a moment, Lu Bu couldn't think of any conspiracy Cao Cao could do.
However, Lu Bu still firmly believed that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy would appear so pale and powerless.
Since they gave up Xia Pi Kingdom, there is absolutely no reason why they won't take it down.
As soon as the Cao Wei soldiers evacuated Xia Pi, Lu Bu prepared a large army to enter Xia Pi.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang hurried to stop Lu Bu.
"Your Majesty, you must not enter Xia Pi City!"
Lu Bu couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why did the military advisor say this?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, I have been cheating today. The emperor should not travel north today. Otherwise, there will inevitably be a bloody disaster."
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Our Dahua has now entered the era of technology. Are you still playing feudal superstitious?
If it weren't for what Zhuge Liang said, it would have been a pity that others dared to confuse the public and disturb the morale of the army, Lu Bu would have ordered people to take it down long ago.
However, this is what Zhuge Liang said, so that's another matter.
Zhuge Liang has always been a monster, and the lesson he left behind was one of the three most famous prophecies in ancient times.
Zhuge Liang said this, probably because he calculated something.
But now is the moment when the Dahua army is full of momentum, how could Lu Bu stop moving forward because of Zhuge Liang's unfounded prophecy?
If Lu Bu really did that, it would be a heavy blow to Dahua's morale.
Besides, where is there no danger?
I remember when I was in Nanjing, there were assassins who dared to assassinate him!
If you are afraid of danger, you don’t have to lead your troops to fight across the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu said to Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, I am the destiny of heaven. I turn bad luck into good fortune and bring good fortune when I am in trouble. How could I be afraid of small dangers? I have decided to go north now."
In fact, Zhuge Liang realized the problem before he dissuaded. If time allowed, Zhuge Liang would not be so anxious to dissuade him when the army was about to set off.
However, it was really too late. Zhuge Liang really didn't want the emperor to take risks.
Once the emperor has any shortcomings, Dahua's hegemony may be delayed by five years or ten years, or even longer.
Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and was still preparing to persuade him.
As a result, Lu Bu didn't give him this opportunity at all and said to him directly: "Military advisor, I have decided, military advisor, don't say more."
Hearing the emperor's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh in secret.
Since the Emperor said so, it means that this matter is unchanged.
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to settle for the second best and decided to follow the emperor to Xiapi City.
If there is really any danger in the city, Zhuge Liang hopes that he can feel it as soon as possible and help the emperor survive this danger.
Cao Wei's army indeed retreated from Xia Pi State.
Lu Bu led a large army to quickly enter Xiapi State, and Lu Bu moved directly into Xiapi City.
The south gate of Xia Pi City is made of white rocks on nearby mountains. Because the entire gatehouse is white, the south gate of Xia Pi City is also called the Baimen Tower.
In the original historical trajectory, Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao in Xiapi City and died in Baimen Tower.
This time when Lu Bu saw Baimen Tower again, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
When he arrived in Xia Pi City, Zhuge Liang felt even more uneasy.
Zhuge Liang temporarily took a hexagram, and this time the hexagram shows that there will be bloody disasters.
Seeing this hexagram, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but frown tightly.
This hexagram is extremely dangerous and extremely dangerous. Unless the emperor leaves Xia Pi City immediately, it will not be resolved at all.
However, what surprised Zhuge Liang was that there was a hint of vitality and change in this extremely evil hexagram.
Zhuge Liang had never encountered such a strange thing before when he was divining.
Is it really like the emperor said that the emperor is the destiny of heaven, and no matter what danger he encounters, he can turn bad luck into good fortune and bring good fortune to death?
It seems impossible to get the emperor to leave Xia Pi City.
Fortunately, from the hexagrams, there is still a glimmer of vitality.
If that's the case, you can only act according to the opportunity.
All the old people in Xiapi City Lord's Mansion were driven out.
They were all replaced by Dahua soldiers serving them.
In the evening, Ermao, the eunuch who was serving the emperor, ordered the soldiers to find a few girls to serve the emperor.
As the emperor, how can there be no women around you?
Although Dahua is a benevolent and righteous teacher, he will never oppress the people or force the women.
But being able to serve the emperor is a blessing they have cultivated over their lifetimes.
As long as they pass a message on, how many people will cry and shout to send their daughters over?
In fact, they did the same.
Once this news came out, many families in Xia Pi City brought their daughters outside the city lord's mansion.
After some careful selection, they finally chose four girls and prepared to send them to the mansion to serve the emperor.
However, just when they were about to send them to the emperor's dormitory, they were stopped by Zhuge Liang.
Now the emperor is in danger. How could Zhuge Liang allow them to send strangers to the emperor?
Even a girl with no power to tie a chicken is not good.
Ermao, the eunuch who served the emperor in close service, expressed strong dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang's intervention in the palace.
However, Zhuge Liang refused to give in. Even if Ermao moved out of the emperor, Zhuge Liang was unmoved.
Ermao was so angry that he really wanted to get the matter to the emperor, but after thinking about it, he still endured it.
Because what the emperor hates the most is the eunuchs and the harem interfering in politics. Although he is favored by the emperor, if he dares to spread rumors and provoke the relationship between the emperor and the ministers, the emperor can also cut him alive.
Of course, the most important thing is that this matter was not ordered by the emperor, but was done by Ermao in private.
...
In the evening, Cao Wei soldiers hiding in the tunnel began their activities.
