Chapter 661
So, on this day, Hou Cheng brought the Red Rabbit Horse to Cao's camp, found Cao Cao, offered the Red Rabbit Horse, and said that they had captured Lu Bu alive, and Xia Pi City was waiting for Cao Cao to accept it.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed and immediately led his army to the south of Xia Pi city gate, which was the least affected by the flood. The city gate that Liu Bei persuaded surrender last time was similarly the Baimen Tower in history.
The city gate here was already opened, and no soldiers were guarding the Cao army to enter. However, Cao Cao and his party were cautiously stopped outside the city. After all, Cao Cao was deceived at the beginning, and it was hard to guarantee that this time it was not a scam. Seeing the city gate open and opening the door to treat thieves, it seemed like a bloody mouth, waiting for food to come to the door.
So what if there is a red rabbit horse? I can't bear to leave my child and can't trap the wolf. Can you guarantee that this red rabbit horse was not deliberately released by Lu Bu to deceive Cao Cao? Cao Cao didn't want to capsize the ship in the gutter at this last moment. At the beginning, he was too happy and impulsive, so he rushed over directly, but fortunately, he finally woke up in front of the door and calmed down.
So, Cao Cao asked Hou Cheng to go in and bring Lu Bu out. Only by seeing such a fact with his own eyes can Cao Cao believe that the other party really wants to surrender to him.
Hou Cheng could also understand Cao Cao's concerns, and whether he understood or not, this was not something he could control. Therefore, Hou Cheng followed Cao Cao's words and immediately entered the city, preparing to bring Lu Bu out, but after a while, Hou Cheng himself came back.
According to Hou Cheng, Lu Bu was tied tightly by them and did not dare to relax at all. In this situation, he could not bet out for a while. Of course, Hou Cheng did not gain anything. In order to win the trust of Cao Cao, Hou Cheng also brought Lu Bu's weapon Fang Tian Huaji this time.
The lack of weapons to compete with will have a great impact on a peerless general. At that time, Dian Wei died so easily under the chaos because his weapon was stolen by Hu Cheer. Could it be that Dian Wei could not even grab the weapons of any ordinary soldier? No, it was just that the weapon was not convenient, which led to a huge reduction in force.
Nowadays, the Red Rabbit Horse is here, and the Fang Tian Painted Ridge is here. Even if Lu Bu was not tied up at this time, his threat was not as great as usual. From this point of view, there should be no falsehood.
However, Cao Cao clearly asked Hou Cheng to bring Lu Bu out directly, but Hou Cheng finally brought only one Fang Tian Painting Squid. No matter how sufficient the reason is, it still gives people a feeling of conspiracy.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?" Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his head and asked. Or should he wait? Even if he can't escort it out for a while, there will always be a time to send it out.
Guo Jia thought about it, or recalled it for a moment, and immediately spoke,
"There shouldn't be a false alarm. Now Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong are still in the city and have not surrendered. There may be accidents at any time. If Lu Bu is rescued by them again, it will be bad. Therefore, we should take action immediately, be careful, and completely control the city gate first!"
Cao Cao felt that what Guo Jia said made sense, so he immediately ordered an attack and asked Xiahou Dun to lead his troops into the city.
Sure enough, there was no problem this time.
After Cao Cao controlled Baimen Tower, he soon saw the tied Lu Bu. At the same time, Cao's soldiers entered the city one after another, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were at the west gate, preparing to escape, but unfortunately the water surround was difficult to escape, so they were eventually captured by Cao's soldiers; Chen Gong was also captured by Xu Huang. At this point, the entire Xia Pi City had been completely controlled by Cao's army.
While Cao Cao gave the list to calm the people, he sent Xun You, Liu Ye, Chen Deng and others to prepare the materials that had been prepared long ago to relieve disasters and comfort the people. At the same time, he immediately ordered the upstream to retreat the water of the decision. After all this, Cao Cao could finally calm down and think carefully about how to deal with Lu Bu's problem. Of course, there was Chen Gong, a man who Cao Cao "loved and hated".
On the Baimen Tower, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guo Jia, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and other historical celebrities are all here. It can be said that even if they see off for Lu Bu, the lineup here can be called magnificent.
Lu Bu was obviously very tall, but at this time he was tied up like a ball. It can be seen that the people here attach importance to and fear of Lu Bu, usually just tied their hands, tied their upper body, and even tied some literati without even having to tie them. But now, they tied Lu Bu all over his body tightly, and Lu Bu couldn't even stand, no wonder he said it was not easy to take Lu Bu out before.
"Tie me so tightly, can you loosen it a little?" Lu Bu couldn't help but shout on the ground.
I have to say that when Lu Bu came up, he actually broke the calm with such a sentence as the opening remark. Even Guo Jia couldn't help but feel helpless. Is this Lu Bu really a child-like mind? The crying and begging for mercy at this time may not be in line with your Lu Bu's personality, but with such an atmosphere, combined with their respective identities, he should have a domineering and rather than surrender. Just like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, committed suicide on the Wujiang River. This is a good story.
Both of them are overlords with very strong military power, but they all failed in the end. Unfortunately, in the face of failure, Lu Bu and Xiang Yu's reactions were completely different. Perhaps, Lu Bu had failed more than once, so he got used to it? Lu Bu was a strong man who could face failure. On the contrary, Xiang Yu was beaten so hard that he could not get up after a failure, and escaped by committing suicide?
No matter how you evaluate it, based on Guo Jia's personal feelings, it is still a bit heroic like Xiang Yu. However, Lu Bu is Lu Bu, the unique Lu Bu. If he is really exactly the same as Xiang Yu, then he is not Lu Bu anymore!
"Haha, the tiger is bound to be tied tightly." Cao Cao laughed and finally solved Lu Bu and took Xuzhou. Cao Cao's wishes for many years come true. He even carries the bloody hatred of Cao Cao's father Cao Song's death. Once he gets revenge, can Cao Cao be unhappy?
I don’t know if the drama is often left for the finale, or Cao Cao hasn’t figured out how to deal with Lu Bu for a while. In short, Cao Cao did not immediately discuss Lu Bu’s affairs. Instead, he gave priority to Lu Bu’s subordinates.
First of all, it was Gao Shun. Gao Shun, a person, is indeed a talent. Cao Cao knew this and Guo Jia knew better. You should know that Gao Shun's trapping camp was very famous, claiming to be invincible in every attack. He could quickly conquer the enemy camp every time, and was even praised by some as the infantry battalion with the highest combat effectiveness in the Three Kingdoms era.
It would be great if such a guy could receive his subordinates. Unfortunately, Gao Shun had no intention of surrendering at all and was determined to die. Originally, Guo Jia also thought about whether he could learn from Zhuge Liang and "seven captures Gao Shun". But Guo Jia was really not sure about such uncertainty. Can you really guarantee that Gao Shun will surrender to you after he lets you seven times? (To be continued.)
