682 A good man sees death as his home
The sky will break, and the north wind is like a knife.
The cold wind blew, the curtain of the carriage could barely be hidden, and the strong wind penetrated into the carriage through the cracks and made people's cheeks hurt, but almost everyone forgot the cold and forgot to rub it with their hands. Rubbing your cheeks can keep you warm, because the rumbling of horses' hooves in the distance is getting closer and closer, and everyone understands - Cao Jun's iron cavalry has caught up!
Wang Yanzhang and Xia Luqi led the army to gallop all the way, and when they reached the halfway point, they met Cao Bing who came from Zhenjiazhuang to ask for help, only to learn that it was not the Huns who attacked, but dozens of Eastern Han Jinyi guards who robbed Zhen Mi.
"What, just a few dozen brocade guards killed all of your 2,000 people?" The big iron gun in Wang Yanzhang's hand poked into the frozen hard land, with an indignant face.
"Among them is Wen Chengdu, who once carried Li Yuanba, a guy who uses strange-shaped weapons!" Cao Jun's scout muttered to explain why.
Before the first wave of scouts for help finished speaking, the second wave of scouts rushed over, and before they could reach him, they rolled off their horses, and their cold helmets fell to the ground, and they didn't care about it, and they even crawled in front of Wang and Xia, and said with a crying voice: "General...... General ......"
"Bastard...... Is your father dead or your mother dead? The rugged Charucci was furious, rolled out the horsewhip in his hand, and whipped it on the scout's body, "What kind of body are you crying and crying, are you here to report the funeral?" ”
"Childe is dead, Childe is dead, he died under the boring of Wenchengdu!" The scout didn't care to dodge, letting Charucci's whip whine on his body, whimpering and telling the bad news.
"Ah......?"
Wang Yanzhang and Xia Luqi were stunned when they heard this, looked at each other, and the horsewhip in their hands fell to the ground almost at the same time. Hardly believing their ears, "Who?" Who died? ”
"Childe. Cao Zihuan! Seeing Xia and Wang's reactions, the scout was a little scared.
"Dog's day. Lao Tzu will kill you with one shot! Xia Luqi was furious, and the spear in his hand was about to stab, "Thousands of you can't protect Gongzi, and you let him die under the boring of Wenchengdu?" ”
Cao Cao currently has more than a dozen sons under his knees, and the eldest son, Cao Ang, is more than 20 years old this year. He was deeply supported by Cao Cao's civil and military forces. His biological mother, Liu, died early and was raised by Cao Cao's wife, Ding.
According to the normal historical trend, that is, in a few years, Cao Cao conquered Wancheng in the south, and Zhang Xiu surrendered without a fight. The complacent Cao Cao privately accepted Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou, annoyed Zhang Xiu, instructed Hu Che'er to steal Dian Wei's double halberd, and led the army to attack Cao Ying's camp at night, not only killing Dian Wei and Cao Anmin. Cao Ang gave his horses to Cao Cao in the midst of the chaos and died under the arrows of Zhang Xiujun.
Because of the butterfly effect of Liu Bian's crossing, Cao Ang was hit by a big tree cut down by Wu Song when he was chasing and killing Cao Anmin's uncle and sister-in-law. was rescued by Cao Jun, and after the treatment of the doctor, he has now fully recovered. At present, with the assistance of Xi Zhicai, Man Pet, Wen Ping, Cao Chun and others, he is sitting in Cao Cao's old nest Yecheng.
In addition to Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others were all born to Cao Cao's concubine, Mrs. Bian. The historical Mrs. Bian only became a wife after Cao Ang's death. Because of Cao Ang's death, Mrs. Ding chattered about Cao Cao every day. complained that he was greedy and killed Cao Ang, and finally angered Cao Cao, so he sent Mrs. Ding back to her parents' house.
Cao Cao was ruthless to his enemies, but he was a good husband to his wife and concubine, and after sending Mrs. Ding away, he felt guilty and went to pick up Mrs. Ding in person. And Mrs. Ding has a strong personality, ignores Cao Cao, and refuses to follow Cao Cao back when she says anything, Cao Cao has no choice but to divorce Mrs. Ding, which is also a strange story.
With Cao Cao's treachery, as the actual controller of the world with millions of armor, he was able to tolerate a woman's rudeness to him, and let the Ding family divorce and remarry him, which shows that Cao Cao is by no means a ruthless and unrighteous butcher, and his belly is also comparable to that of an ordinary man.
Of course, Mrs. Ding refused to remarry, and no one dared to marry, and after staying in her mother's house for a few years, she was depressed and died of illness. And because of the butterfly effect of Liu Wei's crossing, Cao Ang did not die, and Mrs. Bian failed to ascend to the throne.
Mrs. Bian has four sons under her knees, the eldest son Cao Pi, who has just received a boxed lunch and returned home after drinking. The second son Cao Zhang is brave and is currently guarding the plains with Xiahou Yuan, the third son Cao Zhi is not yet weak, and the fourth son Cao Xiong is three years old this year.
In addition to the four sons born to Mrs. Bian, the other favorite of Cao Cao is Cao Chong, who was born to Mrs. Huan, who is six years old this year. There are also more than a dozen sons such as Mrs. Yin, Wang Ji, Li Ji and other Cao Ju, Cao Lin, Cao Yu, etc., the eldest is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger is not yet one year old.
Among all Cao Cao's sons, Cao Zhi's favorite is Cao Zhi, followed by the smart and wise Cao Chong, and the most important is the mature and steady Cao Ang. As for the second son Cao Pi, he was so-so, he didn't particularly like it, but he also recognized his talent, so he focused on training, and had the intention to investigate him as one of the successors.
Although Cao Cao has many sons, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, Cao Pi is also Cao Cao's son anyway, and he is also the main general of Wang Yanzhang and Xia Luqi, so he was stoned to death by someone and died under the noses of 50,000 troops, which is definitely a stain on their careers.
It can be said that including Cao Bin, Wang Yanzhang, Xia Luqi, Shan Xiongxin and others, if one is counted as one, the career will be ruined. The son of Taizu was folded on the Goryeo Peninsula, and the imprisonment of the metropolitan governor is the best proof, history is always the same, how can this not make Wang Yanzhang and Xia Luqi Rabbit sad for the dead fox, such as mourning, it is more uncomfortable than the death of his own son?
"It's come to this, it's useless to blame them for these pawns!" Wang Yanzhang hatefully stopped Xia Luqi's reckless move, "The top priority is to arrest Wen Chengdu, Zhen Mi and others back first, and atone for their crimes!" ”
Immediately sent more than 100 scouts to spy on the whereabouts of Wen Chengdu and others, and soon learned that they were heading in the direction of Weichang, and the target seemed to be heading straight to Youzhou.
"The whole army is in pursuit!"
Wang Yanzhang took the lead, chased wildly with a gun, and chased hysterically in the cold wind, wishing to put on a pair of wings.
More than 10,000 Cao Jun iron horsemen followed and galloped overwhelmingly. The shaking earthquake trembled, and the mountains and rivers whimpered. Everywhere you go, the dust was flying and the ice was melting.
Shan Xiongxin, who commanded the infantry behind, was also grieved and indignant when he received the report. The idea was similar to that of Wang Yanzhang and Xia Ruqi, and he also knew that because Cao Pi's death would definitely leave a stain on his resume, he immediately handed over the infantry to the deputy general and chased Wang Yanzhang and Xia Ruqi alone.
Yuwen Chengdu and others escorted the Zhen brothers and sisters to run wild all night, galloping north for more than 150 miles, with only a few short stops along the way, but the road was bumpy, and the carriage was not as fast as the horses after all. When the sky was about to dawn, he was chased closer and closer by Cao's army in Anxi County. The distance was only five or six miles.
"Throw away the carriage, each Jinyi guard carries a young lady, the two of them ride together, and abandon the carriage!"
Li Yuanfang and Zhan Zhao are good at spying, but they are laymen in the battle on the battlefield, and in the face of the overwhelming Cao Jun Iron Cavalry, they suddenly lost their proportions, and at the critical juncture, Yuwen Chengdu stood up to make an idea.
The five Zhen sisters and the Yang family immediately got off the car, and under Li Yuanfang's arrangement, they rode with the superior Jinyi Wei, and Zhen Yan gave up his belongings like a knife. and his brother Zhen Yao each untied a war horse from the carriage and followed Jinyiwei to the north to continue to escape.
The north wind howled, and snowflakes fell from the sky, although it was the hour. It was still not bright.
Yuwen Chengdu and his entourage ran wildly for more than 20 miles, and the Cao army behind them chased closer and closer, and the shouts were clearly audible.
Zhen Mi wiped her tears on the horse: "Generals." I can't hurt you for my weak woman, please hand me over to Cao Jun. Flee for your lives! ”
Yuwen Chengdu has a horizontal gold boring in his hand. Le Ma took the reins and said in a loud voice: "I'll break the queen." Please Li and Zhan to protect all the ladies! ”
"Take care!"
Li Yuanfang and Zhanzhao saluted Yuwen Chengdu together and did not say anything.
Resisting 10,000 people with a single horse, there is little hope, but there is no other way out, Yuwen Chengdu is very likely to die in battle if he stays, but if no one stops the menacing Cao family iron horse, the result can only be that everyone is captured, there is no way out, and there can only be a live horse as a dead horse doctor.
"River, there's a river ahead!" The Jinyi guard, who rushed to the front, was the first to discover a river about five zhang wide, and let out a cry like a desperate life.
This river is a larger river in the north of Jizhou, the name is called Huangshui, there is a township called Shifo Township nearby, this bridge is built by the villagers, so it is named "Shifo Bridge".
"Great, there is no endless road, go quickly, I'll guard the bridge!" Yuwen Chengdu was overjoyed and loudly urged Li Yuanfang and others to cross the bridge.
The stone Buddha bridge is about one zhang wide, and can only accommodate two war horses side by side at most. At this moment, it is just the end of October, it has not yet reached the point of freezing three feet, and the ice on the river surface cannot carry the army through, if it can block the Cao army for a moment and a half, Li Yuanfang and others can escape from Jizhou and enter the territory of Youzhou.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard, Li Yuanfang and others crossed the bridge, leaving only Yu Wencheng to guard in Henan alone, and said goodbye to Li Yuanfang and others: "Go quickly, if Cao Jun wants to cross the river, he needs to step on Chengdu's body first!" ”
Looking at the cold wind blowing Yuwen Chengdu's cloak hunting, with a face of death, Li Yuanfang and Zhanzhao and the brocade guards bowed their hands together, and the Zhen sisters wiped their tears together, grateful.
"General!"
With a sad snort, Zhen Rong struggled to jump off the horse, ran quickly across the Shifo Bridge, and handed the kettle in her hand to Yuwen Chengdu, "Please drink saliva to moisten your throat." ”
Although her lips had dried up and cracked a few times, she still handed it to Yuwen Chengdu without hesitation. If it weren't for this man's action, he would have been ruined tonight.
Yuwen Chengdu took the kettle handed by Zhen Rong with a smile, but only took a sip and returned it: "There is still a long way to go, take it!" ”
Zhen Rong burst into tears: "General, you must come back, Rong'er hasn't repaid your kindness yet!" ”
Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand to signal Zhen Rong to go quickly, his eyes were full of confidence, and his smile seemed to be able to melt the cold spring breeze.
As soon as Zhen Rong retreated to the north bank of the Stone Buddha Bridge, she heard a rumble behind her ears, but it was Yuwen Chengdu who waved a 110-pound phoenix winged gold pistol to cut off the stone bridge.
"Hurry up, even if I am a bloody bridgehead in Chengdu today, I will not let Cao Jun cross the river with a single soldier!"
Yuwen Chengdu slowly turned the horse's head, immediately bored horizontally, and guarded the river bank alone. Facing the swept Cao Jun Iron Cavalry, he turned a blind eye, and let the north wind blow the robe and hunt, what is there to fear in life?
Looking at Yuwen Chengdu, who looked at death as if she were home, Zhen Rong's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and she couldn't help kneeling on the bridge, choking and said: "General, you must not die, the little girl is waiting for you to come back." If the general does not dislike it, Rong'er is willing to serve with a broom and repay your great kindness! ”
"Let's go!"
Li Yuanfang knew that now was not the time for children to grow up, so he rode forward and pulled Zhen Rong onto the war horse, turned around and greeted the team, and left.
The sound of horses' hooves was audible, and a group of more than 20 horsemen rode north against the cold wind, leaving only Yuwen Chengdu alone and one horse guarding the bridge.
(The second watch is sent, and the third watch continues today, the position of the monthly ticket list has not yet been stabilized, continue to ask for support, and the swordsman fights!) (To be continued......)
