One Hundred and Nine Berwyn's counterattack
"What...... His Royal Highness King Hongnong was killed? β
Soon after LΓΌ Bu raided the camp, the princes from all walks of life got the news one after another, the battle situation was unknown, and no one dared to rush to send troops, so they each sent envoys to the camp of the Eastern Wu Army to inquire about the battle situation. Unexpectedly, as soon as the envoy came back, he brought back such a piece of news, which only made Cao Cao stunned for a while, and his jaw almost dislocated.
The envoy's face was heavy: "Back to the lord's words, it seems that His Royal Highness King Hongnong is indeed killed, the camp of the Eastern Wu army is in mourning, everyone is vegetarian, and the messenger who came to report has followed the villain to the camp of our army and is waiting outside the tent." β
"Please, please!"
Cao Cao's face was heavy, and he was even a little at a loss when he was caught off guard, and King Hongnong, who was looked down upon by himself a few days ago, regarded as a symbol of the endless qi of the Han Dynasty, how can he say that he is dead?
It was Liu Ye who came to convey the news, wearing a silk shirt on his body, his face was sad, and he gave Cao Cao a slight salute: "Ye has seen Cao Gong, last night Lu Bu attacked the camp, our army was caught off guard, and it was a big mess when they were killed. His Royal Highness wanted to take refuge in General Gongsun's camp, but was ambushed by Hua Xiong, although the guards desperately rescued and killed Hua Xiong, but His Royal Highness was also seriously injured and had returned to the west! β
If Cao Cao had suspected that his envoy's listening was wrong, but at this moment, when he saw Liu Ye's dress and listened to his description, he no longer doubted it, and his face couldn't help but turn like earth, and the expression on his face changed sharply, no one could guess what he was thinking at this moment?
"Woohoo...... The Han family was unfortunate and failed to protect His Highness. There is a negative emperor's grace! Woohoo......"
After a short moment of stunnedness, Cao Cao immediately beat his chest and cried. Tears flowed and sadness overflowed.
Liu Ye also cried with him, choking up: "Huaxiong's head has been cut off and is being placed in front of His Highness's coffin to worship His Highness's spirit in the sky." Ye still has to go to the camp of other princes, so he won't delay here. β
Cao Cao whimpered and sent Liu Ye out of the tent, and then went to the camp gate. Tears said: "Although the envoy went to report the funeral to the other adults, he arranged for the vegetarian service. This is to go and mourn His Highness. β
Bidding farewell to Cao Cao, Liu Ye turned over his horse, and under the escort of Wei Jian, he reported the funeral along the camp of the princes.
Follow the route from south to north. First, Ma Teng's camp, and then Kong Rong, Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao and other camps walked around one by one.
When the princes heard the bad news, their reactions were mixed, some beat their chests and feet, and cried; Some just sighed and scolded a few words like Dong Zhuo's disaster to the country, Lu Bu should be damned; On top of such a big event, no one dares to make a big statement.
The sky is getting brighter, and the camp of Soochow is full of mourning.
There are many white flags, and everyone is vegetarian. Heaven and earth were moved.
The Chinese army set up a mourning hall in the big tent, with cigarettes curling inside, and all the generals wore vegetarian food. Wake the spirit of King Hongnong.
There is a coffin in the middle of the mourning hall, and the most conspicuous thing on the front table is Huaxiong's huge human head, as a famous general of Xiliang, the princes who came to mourn can confirm at a glance that this is the true Huaxiong head, and no one doubts the death of King Hongnong.
The first to come to mourn was Cao Cao. I saw him wearing a vegetarian shirt and crying bitterly. Behind him, the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other cronies and generals were all dressed in plains, and their faces were solemn.
After Cao Cao, Ma Teng's father and son came, both dressed in white; Ma Teng was followed by Kong Rong, Liu Dai and other princes loyal to the Han family, and Gongsun Zan also brought Liu Bei and Guan Zhang to mourn when he got the bad news, and there was a sadness in the handsome tent.
The most indispensable thing in the army during this period was white linen, and because of the lack of dyeing technology at this time, most of the cloth was mainly gray and white, so all the princes could build in the shortest time.
Yuan Shao finished his expressionless condolences and saluted Liu Bowen: "Your Highness was unfortunately killed, I don't know what Mr. and others will do?" β
"The Xiliang army held the tiger prison, the army was difficult to enter Luoyang, and His Royal Highness's body could not be buried in the imperial tomb. I can only follow His Royal Highness's edict, help Ling go south, and bury him on Jinling Mountain, so that His Highness's spirit in the sky can watch the people of Jinling City live a peaceful life. β
Liu Bowen bowed to Yuan Shao, and shook his head with a sigh.
Yuan Shao nodded: "What Mr. said is extremely true, the Xiliang Army blocked the Tiger Prison, and it was difficult for His Royal Highness's body to enter the imperial tomb. It is better to bury him in Jiangdong, in this case, without further ado, Mr. will lead the army to guard His Highness's coffin and return to Jiangdong! Shao and all the princes swore to break the tiger prison, kill the Dong thief, and avenge His Highness! β
Liu Bowen bowed down and said sadly: "In this case, after the condolences of the adults from all walks of life are completed, Ji and the generals will lead the army south, and the battlefield of the Central Plains will be all thanks to Yuan Gong and others to eradicate Dong Wei!" β
The tiger prison is closed, and the general's mansion is in the middle. Lu Bu was furious.
In this robbery camp, although the Eastern Wu Army that killed Liu Wei was caught off guard and killed more than 1,000 soldiers and generals, the important generals of the other party were all unscathed, and Hao Meng, one of the eight strong generals under his command, gave his life. In this comparison, not only did the raid not get a bargain, but it looked like it had suffered a big loss.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't be angry first, Hao Meng died under the guns of the soldiers, blame him for his own lack of martial arts, don't blame yourself first!"
Niu Fu sat on the side and calmly comforted Lu Bu. Below them, stood Jia Xu, Xu Rong, Li Dao, Fan Chou, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other civil and military personnel, who were summing up the gains and losses of this stealing camp.
"Where did Hua Xiong go? The sky is bright, and I don't see him coming back to restore his life, could it be that he is a ghost under the sword of the Eastern Wu Army? β
Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Lu Bu naturally had to sell him three points of thin noodles, so he had to sprinkle his anger on Hua Xiong, who had disappeared for a long time, and scolded angrily: "This guy didn't listen to the dispatch, and he went to ambush Liu Wei single-handedly, even if he died, he deserved it!" Could it be that this guy thinks that martial arts can be compared to my Lu Bu? β
At this moment, a scout reported quickly: "Qi Yu Wen waited, Liu Bianjun's camp was full of lamentation, everyone was vegetarian, and it was rumored that General Huaxiong and Hongnong King Liu Bian's death together." β
"Is that true? Ha ha...... God help me! β
Listening to what the scout said, Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed loudly.
Lu Bu's identity is a demoted general, and he has never dealt well with Hua Xiong, who is Dong Zhuo's descendant. Although Lu Bu was accepted as a righteous son by Dong Zhuo because of his martial arts, in the eyes of Hua Xiong, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals of the Xiliang Army, he still looked down on him in private, a traitor seeking glory, so there has been constant friction. At this moment, I heard that Hua Xiong and Liu Wei were returning to the west together, how could Lu Bu not look up to the sky and laugh?
Jia Xu's face was as pale as water, and he stood up cautiously and said: "Wen Hou, when the camp was robbed, Xu had been closing the door to observe, although the Eastern Wu Army was flustered, but it did not lose an inch, but at this moment, the news of Liu Wei's death suddenly came, I am afraid that there is fraud in this, and I have to guard against it!" β
Lu Bu shook the big red feather on his head, got up proudly, and strode out of the hall: "You follow me to the top of the city, and you will see!" β
Everyone got on their horses one after another, and followed Lu Bu to the Tiger Prison Pass Tower, climbing high and looking into the distance.
I saw the white flags in the camp of Liu Bianjun in the east, and the crying was clear and audible. The princes from all walks of life who came to mourn were also dressed in white clothes, and they went in and out, in an endless stream.
"Haha...... Did you see that? All the princes came to mourn, the soldiers of Eastern Wu were all dressed in Su, it seems that the news of the death of King Hongnong must be true, and the book of quick repair and the good news of the Taishi! β
Witnessing this scene, the tall Lu Bu smiled and leaned back together, and the big red feather on the top of his head swayed up and down like a willow branch, and his joy was overflowing.
Niu Fu, Zhang Liao and others were also overjoyed, and said: "In this way, the death of King Hongnong must be true, and the robbery of the camp last night is a great achievement!" β
Only Jia Xu expressed concern: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, maybe the generals of the Eastern Wu Army are scheming, deliberately setting a trap to confuse our army, it is not known, we should be cautious, not careless!" β
"Wen and you are too worried!"
Lu Bu had a confident expression and talked eloquently: "In the dark night, when that Liu Bi'er heard the news of my Lu Bu's robbery of the camp, he must have been frightened, and he went out of the east gate to hide. happened to bump into Hua Xiong and was killed with a knife, and then Hua Xiong was surrounded and killed by Liu Wei's personal soldiers. Hua Xiong did not return all night, which is ironclad evidence, plus the princes from all walks of life came to mourn, this matter will definitely not be fake! β
Regarding Lu Bu's analysis, Jia Xu also felt reasonable, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and said again: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, in my opinion, Liu Wei's death still needs to be confirmed!" β
Lu Bu was faintly impatient, shook his cloak and said: "Among the princes of the Eighteen Routes, there are many of our army's meticulous work, and when they report it, we can determine whether Liu Wei's death is true or false!" If Liu Wei's death is true, the Eastern Wu army will retreat. Our army is taking advantage of the low morale of Liu's army and has no intention of fighting, and it will inevitably win a complete victory. β
At noon, the Xiliang army planted among the princes from all walks of life really came to report one after another, adding fuel to the news they had heard. What did Liu Wei say was beheaded by Hua Xiong, and finally sewn onto the corpse by a military medical technician; It is also said that Hua Xiong was hacked to death with a knife, in addition to the intact head, the body was chopped into pulp, in short, all kinds of news are similar, and there is only one result, that is, Liu Wei is really dead!
In the evening, the scout came to report again: "Wait for the warmth, the Eastern Wu army has withdrawn from the camp and retreated south, please make a decision quickly!" β
Lu Bu took the case and ordered in a loud voice: "Pass on my military order, pursue with light cavalry, and be sure to inflict heavy damage on the Eastern Wu Army, so that the Kwantung Coalition Army knows that our Western Liang Army is invincible!" β
At that moment, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao led 5,000 elite cavalry to chase from the rear, and ordered Xu Rong and Fan Chou to lead 3,000 light cavalry to take the trail to intercept the front of the Eastern Wu army, and strive to attack from both sides, severely damage the demoralized, unintentionally unwilling to fight the Eastern Wu army, and fight a beautiful war of annihilation.
