Chapter 661: White Gate Tower
So, on this day, Hou Cheng came to Cao Ying with the red rabbit horse, found Cao Cao, offered the red rabbit horse, and said that they had captured Lu Bu alive, and now Picheng was waiting for Cao Cao to receive it.
After Cao Cao heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately led the army to the south gate of Xiapi, that is, the city gate that was least affected by flooding.
The city gate on this side had been opened, and there were no soldiers guarding to hinder Cao's army from entering, but Cao Cao and his party still cautiously stopped outside the city. After all, Cao Cao had been deceived in the first place, and it is hard to guarantee that this time it is not a scam. Seeing the city gate wide open, the appearance of the thief opening the door seems to be like a bloody mouth, waiting for food to be delivered to the door.
What about a red rabbit horse? Reluctant that the child 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 in the gutter at this last moment. At first, I was too happy and impulsive, so I rushed over directly with the troops, but fortunately, I finally came to my senses in front of this door and calmed down.
So, Cao Cao asked Hou Cheng to go in and bring Lu Bu out, and only by seeing such a fact with his own eyes could Cao Cao believe that the other party really wanted to surrender to him.
Hou Cheng could also understand Cao Cao's concerns, and besides, whether he understood it or not, it was not something he could control at all. Therefore, Hou Cheng listened to Cao Cao's words and immediately entered the city, preparing to bring Lu Bu out, but after a while, Hou Cheng himself returned.
According to Hou Cheng, Lu Bu was firmly tied by them and did not dare to relax at all. In the current situation, people will not be able to be escorted out for a while. Of course. Hou Cheng didn't gain anything at all, in order to win Cao Cao's trust. Hou Cheng also directly brought Lu Bu's weapon, Fang Tian's painting halberd, over this time.
There is no weapon that is suitable, and the impact on a peerless general is still very large. At the beginning, Dian Wei was stolen by Hu Che'er, so he died so easily under the chaos. Dian Wei couldn't even grab the weapon of any ordinary soldier? No, it's just that the weapon is not in hand, which leads to a big reduction in force.
Today, the red rabbit horse is here, and Fang Tian's halberd is also here. At this time, even if Lu Bu was not bound, his threat was not as great as usual. In this way, it should not be fake.
It's just that Cao Cao obviously asked Hou Cheng to bring Lu Bu out directly, but Hou Cheng only brought out a Fang Tian painting halberd in the end, no matter how good the reason is, it still gives people a sense of conspiracy and trickery.
"Bonghyo, what do you think?" Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his head and ask. Or, should we wait a little longer? Even if you can't escort it out for a while. There will always be a time to send it out.
Guo Jia thought about it, or rather, recalled it, and suddenly said,
"There shouldn't be any fakes. Now Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong are still in the city and have not surrendered. Accidents can happen at any time, and it would not be good if Lu Bu was rescued by them again. So, it's important to take action now. Be careful, get this gate under control first! ”
Cao Cao felt that what Guo Jia said made sense. So he immediately ordered an attack and let Xiahoudun lead his troops into the city.
Really. This time there were no problems at all.
After Cao Cao took control of the White Gate Tower, he soon saw Lu Bu, who was tied up tightly. At the same time, Cao Bing entered the city one after another, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were at the West Gate, preparing to escape, but unfortunately it was difficult to get out of the water wall, and they were finally captured by Cao Bing; Chen Gong was also captured by Xu Huang. At this point, the entire Xiapi City has been completely controlled by Cao's army.
Cao Cao sent Xun You, Liu Ye, Chen Deng and others to calm the people with the materials that had been prepared for a long time, and immediately ordered the upstream to retreat the water that had been decided. After doing all this, Cao Cao could finally calm down and think about how to deal with Lu Bu's problem. Of course, there is also Chen Gong, the man Cao Cao "loves and hates".
On the White Gate 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 it is to see off Lu Bu, the lineup here can be called magnificent.
Lu Bu is obviously very tall, but at this time, he was tied up like a ball and brought over, so it can be seen that the attention and fear of people here to Lu Bu is usually just to tie his hands and upper body, and even for some literati, he doesn't even need to tie it, but now, he is firmly tied up and down Lu Bu's whole body, and Lu Bu can't even stand, no wonder it was said before that it was not easy to take Lu Bu out.
"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 as soon as Lu Bu came up, he actually broke the peace with such a sentence as the opening remark, and even Guo Jia's couldn't help but feel a little helpless, this Lu Bu, is it really still a child's mind? At this time, crying and begging for mercy may not be in line with your Lu Bu's character, but such an atmosphere, combined with their respective identities, should not be domineering and unyielding. Just like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, he killed himself in Wujiang. That's a good story.
They are also overlord princes who are quite strong in force, and they also failed in the end, but unfortunately, in the face of failure, Lu Bu and Xiang Yu's reactions were completely different. Perhaps, Lu Bu has failed more than once, so he is used to it? Lu Bu is a strong person who can face failure, but Xiang Yu was hit by a failure and couldn't get up, so he committed suicide to escape?
No matter how you evaluate it, in terms of Guo Jia's personal feelings, he is still as heroic as 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, I have to tie the tiger tightly." Cao Cao laughed and said, finally solved Lu Bu and took Xuzhou, Cao Cao's wish for many years came true, and there was even a blood feud against the death of Cao Cao's father Cao Song.
I don't know if the big dramas are often left until the final finale, or that Cao Cao hasn't figured out how to deal with Lu Bu for a while, in short, Cao Cao didn't immediately discuss Lu Bu's matter. Instead, he gave priority to Lu Bu's subordinates.
First of all, it is Gao Shun. Gao Shun is indeed a talent, Cao Cao knows this, and Guo Jia knows it even better. You must know that Gao Shun's trapped camp is very famous, known as invincible, and can quickly capture the enemy camp every time, and is even respected by some people as the infantry battalion with the first combat effectiveness in the Three Kingdoms era.
It would be great if such a guy could receive his own subordinates. It's a pity that Gao Shun has no intention of surrendering at all, and is bent on dying. Originally, Guo Jia also thought about whether he could learn from Zhuge Liang and come up with a "Seven Captures of Gao Shun". But Guo Jia is really not too sure about this kind of uncertain thing. Can you really guarantee that if you want to capture and indulge, Gao Shun will surrender to you after being released seven times? (To be continued......)
