Chapter 536: Cao Cao Secretly Kills
After the end of the Shouchun War, Cao Cao was crowned a meritorious person, and Sun Jian was crowned as Yangzhou Mu, his descendants were Jiujiang Taishou, Zhou Yu was Huiji Taishou, and Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and other Jiangdong soldiers also had their own rewards. As for Liu Bei and his group of civil and military officials, Cao Cao also made rewards, but the rewards for Liu Bei's faction were far less generous than those of Sun Jian's faction. Zhang Fei had a lot of complaints about this, and even tried to find Cao Cao's theory a few times when he couldn't resist his impulsive temperament, but Liu Bei tried his best to stop him.
The southern giant crocodile Yuan Shu's forces were officially declared extinct, and most of its soldiers and horses and territories were scraped by Cao Cao and Sun Jian. The two counties of Nanyang and Runan fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and Sun Jian gained a lot of money, and he was rewarded by Cao Cao, and he rightfully sat in the position of the lord of Yangzhou. In the annihilation of Yuan, there was also Liu Bei, who had made a lot of contributions, except for some rewards for his false position, he almost did not get any actual rewards, not even an inch of land.
Liu Bei can only endure this, after all, he is not like Sun Jian, he has nearly 100,000 soldiers, and now his power is less than 20,000 troops, and it is still difficult to protect himself, how dare he ask Cao Cao, a peerless hero. Moreover, Liu Bei faintly felt that it was hostility from Cao Cao. At this time, as soon as Yuan Shu was destroyed, Cao Cao's power expanded to the southern region, and the person he had to deal with next was most likely himself.
Liu Bei was wary of Cao Cao, and as soon as the battle in Shouchun ended, he bid farewell to Cao Cao and led the army back to Xuzhou. Cao Cao didn't stay much for Liu Bei, but after a few words of good words and comfort, he asked Liu Bei to lead the army to withdraw from Shouchun.
"Huh. It seems that this Liu Xuande has discovered the hostility of the lord, and he is in such a hurry to go back to Xuzhou, he must seize the time to guard against the lord's army. ”
Not long after Liu Bei left, Guo Jia's dashing figure appeared, Cao Cao was on his back, although he didn't see anyone, but he heard the release
g uninhibited laughter, Cao Cao knew who was coming.
"Fengxiao, Liu Da'er is not an idle person, and he is known as a benevolent and righteous person, and there are countless fierce generals around him, and he will be able to soar into the sky in time. If we don't take advantage of its momentum and destroy it, we will definitely have endless troubles. ”
"My lord thinks very highly of this person. It's a pity that Liu Xuande has no great strategy around him, which is also destined for him to be difficult to achieve. Moreover, when Liu Xuande was not in his general trend, it was bad luck to meet a giant crocodile like the lord. ”
Guo Jia walked lightly with a faint smile, and Cao Cao slowly turned around, his fine eyes shining.
"Time, luck, and life. Everyone's fate is full of variables, and how can it be as good as others. This time, although you and I are well-arranged, I always feel that Liu Xuande is still lucky. ”
"Oh? Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son have been persuaded by the lord to vote, and the power of the Chen family in Xuzhou is so powerful that it can be described as monstrous. And that Chen Yua
Long is even more resourceful, with the help of the two of them, how can Liu Xuande have a reason to live? ”
Guo Jia's eyes full of wisdom opened slightly, and Guo Jia asked with a little surprise. Cao Cao just smiled indifferently, and then replied.
"It's nonsense. That's how I just feel. ”
"Feelings?"
Guo Jia muttered quietly, and then the two did not have a conversation, as if they were both thinking about something.
At the same time, outside Tancheng in the East China Sea, like a huge wave and tide, Cao Jun was swarming towards Tancheng one after another, and groups of Cao Jun either climbed the ladder, or carried wooden stakes to bombard the city walls and city gates, or piled up shield walls to resist the tide of arrows shot under the city walls, as well as the constantly falling logs and boulders.
On the city wall of Tancheng, Tai Shici's face was extremely solemn, Cao's army had been attacking for more than ten days, and the five thousand soldiers and horses under his command had been consumed by nearly half. If there are no reinforcements to save it, Tancheng will not need a few days, and it will be broken by Cao's army!
"Someone!! Why hasn't there been a reply from Guangling!! ”
Tai Shi Ci suddenly shouted loudly, and a soldier hurried to reply.
"General Taishi, the last general has sent three teams to Guangling in a few days according to your order. It's just that for some reason, there is no word back from Guangling so far. General Taishi is not worried, maybe Chen Zhubo is already raising soldiers and horses, and he will arrive soon! ”
"Bastard! The military situation is urgent, Tancheng is in danger, and the longer the war drags on, the more dangerous it is! Hurry up and repair another book, personally lead the army to Guangling, and tell Chen Yua
Dragon, if his soldiers and horses do not arrive in five days, Tancheng will inevitably be broken by Cao's army!! ”
Tai Shici glared at the tiger, and roared violently, his tone full of impatience.
"Wow! The last general is ready now! ”
"There is no room for delay, in half an hour, I will lead the army to cover for you!"
Although Tai Shici was not too flustered on the surface, he was actually anxious inside. In this battle situation, Tancheng is not to mention holding on for five days, if it can hold on for three days, it will be a great luck. The soldier hurriedly received the order, and left quickly, Tai Shi Ci squinted his eyes, and called two soldiers again, let them be in charge of commanding, and after the order, Tai Shi Ci was in a hurry to order a few teams of soldiers, leave the city wall with him, and go down to the city to prepare for the cover of going out of the city.
Half an hour was about to pass, and the east gate of Tancheng, which was attacked by fewer Cao soldiers, suddenly opened. Tai Shi Ci led a thousand cavalry troops to rush out and kill the Cao army outside the city. Outside the city, Cao Jun saw the city gate open, and the wave of Cao Jun closest to the city gate immediately rushed madly to the city gate, Tai Shici had a cold face, swept the spear, danced densely, rushed into the crowd of Cao Jun, and stabbed when he saw people, as if killing into a no-man's land. The spear danced in Tai Shi Ci's hand non-stop, and the Cao soldiers around him let out a terrible scream, blood flowers flew violently, and Tai Shi Ci rushed left and right, killing all directions. Under Tai Shici's bravery, the crowd of Cao's army was quickly broken through, and the cavalry behind him flew wildly, and a spear stabbed in all directions in the galloping horse, killing the Cao soldiers who rushed in a row.
At the same time that Tai Shici led the army to break through Cao's army, a team of light horsemen took the opportunity to seize the road to an open field. When several Cao generals found out, they immediately guessed that this light cavalry must be going to move the rescue troops, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stop it. Tai Shi Ci burst out a few rays of light in an instant, swung his spear and swept away, and after killing the surrounding Cao soldiers, he drew his bow and put the arrows on it, and the three arrows moved with the bowstring. Tai Shi Ci shouted; The first arrow immediately flew out, hitting the heart of a member of Cao Jiang. Then, Tai Shi Ci shouted the word 'zhu' again, and the second arrow flew through the air, like a thunderbolt, hitting the head of another Cao Jiang.
Tai Shi Ci shot two Cao generals to death in an instant, and another Cao general who was directing the soldiers to stop the light cavalry was so frightened that his soul flew away, how dare he take care of the command soldiers again, pulled out the horse's head, and retreated.
"Gutsless rats! Where to go! Come on! ”
Tai Shi Ci's voice was like thunder, the third arrow was shot quickly, only to see the arrow break through the air and fly, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to see its shadow, that Cao Jiang fled not long after, he was caught up by the arrow, and before he had time to dodge, the arrow pierced the armor behind him, and flew out through the heart.
Tai Shi Ci's archery skills were superb, intimidating the audience, and the remaining Cao generals in the field did not dare to say a word, lest they be targeted by Tai Shi Ci's terrifying tiger eyes.
On the other side of the battlefield, Cao soldiers came to report to Xiahou Yuan, saying that a team of light cavalry escaped from the east gate, and because there was a good arrow enemy general to lead the army to cover, the soldiers on the east gate were difficult to stop, if Xiahou Yuan did not make arrangements, I was afraid that the team of light cavalry would soon escape ten miles away from Tancheng, and it would be difficult to chase again.
"The general of the good arrow, it seems that it must be that Tai Shi Ci."
Xiahou Yuan muttered, and suddenly the picture of him racing arrows with Tai Shi Ci rose in his mind, Xiahou Yuan smiled, and then ordered a team of cavalry to rush to the east gate with him.
After half a pillar of incense, Tai Shici was still leading the army to fight at the east gate, and saw the light cavalry behind him fleeing into a dense forest, and was about to collect troops and return to the city. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the sky, and Tai Shici's face suddenly changed, and he immediately swung his spear and stabbed him in the back.
With a bang, the spear collided violently with an unidentified object of extremely fast speed. The unknown object then exploded, countless sawdust bounced away, Tai Shici's pupils shrank suddenly, he retracted his spear, quickly picked up his bow and arrow, and sent out three arrows in a row towards the location where the unknown object flew just now.
The three arrows flew in a line, stabbing straight at Xiahou Yuan's position. Xiahou Yuan grinned, and also sent out three arrows, between the lightning and flint, the arrows collided, and the six arrows were all smashed in the air.
"Xiahou Miaocai!"
"Taishi Ziyi!"
Tai Shi Ci and Xiahou Yuan drank each other's names almost at the same time, and at the same time, the two of them were fiercely fighting, and their momentum became more and more vigorous, and they both exuded extremely amazing momentum.
After the words were finished, the two of them moved so fast that they couldn't make a shadow, their hands flew up, and in a hurry, five arrows appeared on the bowstrings of the two of them, and the two bowstrings were under the arms of the tigers, pulling into the shape of a full moon, making a loud 'buzzing' sound!
Tai Shi Ci and Xiahou Yuan both swung their big bows horizontally, and the five fingers of the bow were released almost at the same time, only to see the five arrows in the bows of the two of them flying through the air like thunder and light.
Woo Woo !!
The five arrows shot by the two of them all formed a horizontal line plane and went into the air, and the soldiers around hurriedly avoided it, lest they be affected by these ten arrows. In an instant, ten arrows collided violently, and seven or eight loud noises broke out one after another, as if a giant hammer was frequently striking the heavens and the earth. At the same time as the arrows were broken, a hurricane followed, and several of the arrows flew by, only to see two arrows shot opposite Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci's body shook continuously, and hurriedly avoided it, and the two arrows grazed the armor on his body, bursting into two sparks. As for Xiahou Yuan's side, an arrow flew violently, the speed was amazing, Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly, and hurriedly grabbed the ground-inserting gun next to him and pierced the arrow that was fired. Rao is like this, the strength of the arrows shot by Tai Shi Ci is really terrifying, Xiahou Yuan's face changed slightly, and the tiger's mouth in his big hand with a gun cracked a bloody mouth, and there were bursts of severe pain.
Tai Shi Ci and Xiahou Yuan looked at each other from afar, in the competition just now, neither of them took half of the advantage, and in terms of archery attainments, the two of them can be said to be indistinguishable.
Suddenly, two sharp and surging momentum suddenly erupted from the majestic bodies of Tai Shi Ci and Xiahou Yuan, and Tai Shi Ci took out a huge arrow from the arrow bag behind his back, this big arrow is several times thicker than ordinary arrows, and it was specially created by Tai Shi Ci. On the opposite side, Xiahou Yuan also grabbed a small arrow from a grid in the quiver behind his back, these small arrows are smaller than ordinary arrows, and they are also specially created by Xiahou Yuan.
In the eyes of the two, they saw that the bow and arrow in Tai Shici's hand gathered countless purple beams of light, turning into a huge purple Kun Dapeng. At the same time, it was faintly as if countless wolf roars were heard, and on Xiahou Yuan's bow, a huge black giant wolf galloped towards him, looking up to the sky and roaring.
Tai Shi Ci pulled the bowstring violently, and the big arrow flew out of the string, and the Zikun Dapeng then spread its wings widely, and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan like lightning flying like a sky-swallowing force.
