Chapter 752: Huainan Letters
Rescued Lu Bu and others under Cao Cao's nose, Zhao Yun led the five thousand tiger guards and took Lu Bu and others all the way to Luoyang.
Looking at the back of Hu Benwei's departure, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of murderous intent flashed in the corner of his eye.
Standing beside Cao Cao, Guo Jia whispered to Cao Cao: "Duke Ming, Lu Bu is still exterminated, and our army will immediately drive to Huainan!" ”
"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, and instructed the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, the army will rest in Xuzhou for three days, and after three days, march to Yangzhou!" ”
Cao Cao's army has occupied Xuzhou, and is about to march to the Huainan territory, and Zhao Yun, who rescued Lu Bu, was on the way to Luoyang with Hu Benwei, but his mood was unusually heavy.
At present, the Qin army is not ready to attack Huainan, Cao Cao has the opportunity, once the first to break through Yuan Shu, the whole Huainan will fall into the hands of Cao Cao, and Liu Wei will lose the big granary around Jianghuai.
Leading the team for a day, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Zhao Yun raised his hand to stop the march of the army, and whispered to Tao Hu who followed behind: "After camping, lead Lu Bu to the general's tent!" ”
"No!" Tao Hu responded with a fist clenched, and shouted to the Tiger Ben guards who followed behind: "The general has an order, camp on the spot!" ”
After receiving Tao Hu's order to camp on the spot, all the Tiger Ben guards jumped off their horses and set up camps.
The first to tie up was Zhao Yun's handsome tent.
As soon as the handsome tent was set up, Zhao Yun stepped into the tent.
Tao Hu, who had been ordered by him to lead Lu Bu to meet him in the tent, saw Zhao Yun enter the tent and whispered an order to one of the soldiers beside him.
The soldier nodded, turned to leave, and Tao Hu strode towards the tent.
Outside the tent curtain, Tao Hu pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand and stood with his back to the tent.
After a while, the soldiers took a few tiger guards and escorted Lu Bu to the outside of the tent.
Seeing that Lu Bu was escorted over, Tao Hu stood sideways beside the tent curtain, made a gesture of invitation to him, and said, "Wen Hou, the general is waiting in the tent." ”
Because he had not yet left the range of Cao Jun's strength, Lu Bu and the soldiers of the trapped camp who were rescued by Hu Benwei did not untie the ties, and when they arrived outside the tent, Lu Bu was still tightly bound with hemp ropes.
"Thank you, General!" On the battlefield, it was Tao Hu who suppressed Cao Jun and rescued them, and when he saw Tao Hu standing outside the tent, Lu Bu nodded at him and thanked him.
"Wen Hou doesn't have to be polite!" He made a gesture of invitation to Lu Bu again, and Tao Hu said to him: "General Zhao may have something important to discuss with Wen Hou!" ”
Knowing that it was Zhao Yun looking for him, Lu Bu didn't say anything more and strode towards the tent curtain.
Lu Bu walked to the curtain, and a tiger guard lifted the curtain and stood aside.
When Lu Bu lowered his head and got into the tent, Tao Hu also followed into the tent.
Zhao Yun in the handsome tent sat behind a low table and was looking at a sheepskin map spread out in front of him.
After entering the handsome tent, Tao Hu clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Yun and said, "General Qiyu, Wenhou is here!" ”
Hearing Tao Hu speak, Zhao Yun raised his head and glanced at Lu Bu.
Seeing that Lu Bu was still tied with hemp rope, he quickly stood up and said to Tao Hu: "Now that he is far away from Cao Jun, how can he still bind Wen Hou?" ”
was asked by Zhao Yun, Tao Hu hurriedly replied: "General Hui, I am still in Xuzhou at the moment......"
"What's wrong with Xuzhou?" Glaring at Tao Hu, Zhao Yun walked behind Lu Bu and untied him with his own hands, while untying the rope, Zhao Yun also said to Tao Hu: "Your Highness wants us to rescue Wen Hou, and Wen Hou will be His Highness's guest in the future." If you are so slow today, if Your Highness knows, General Tao is not afraid of His Highness's blame? ”
Standing in the tent with his fists clenched, Tao Hu was speechless, but there was a trace of shame in his expression.
"General Zhao!" The rope was untied, Lu Bu arched at Zhao Yun with his fists, and said to him: "I can't complain about General Tao about this matter, if it weren't for General Tao going deep into the battlefield alone, I am afraid that the last general would have been killed by Cao Cao at this time!" ”
"Wen Hou!" Hugging his fists and giving Lu Bu a salute back, Zhao Yun said to him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "In the past, I fought with Marquis Wen in the palace, and now I look back on it, and the last general still sighs to himself. Since the end of the battle, he has followed His Royal Highness, and he has always rarely seen opponents on the battlefield, but he didn't want to meet Wen Hou in the palace, and the killing was really heartfelt! ”
When Zhao Yun mentioned the battle in the palace that day, Lu Bu's face suddenly showed a heavy look of shame, and he said to Zhao Yun: "The general must not mention that day again, every time he mentions the matter of plotting against His Highness, the last general is uneasy in his heart!" ”
"His Royal Highness took pity on Marquis Wen, and when Cao's army entered Xuzhou, he ordered General Mo and General Deng Zhan to lead his troops and horses to come!" Putting down his hands, Zhao Yun first said to Lu Bu that Liu Wei asked him and Deng Zhan to come to Xuzhou, and then made a gesture of invitation and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, please sit down and talk!" ”
After thanking Zhao Yun, Lu Bu sat in the tent, and only when Zhao Yun and Tao Hu also sat down separately did he say to Zhao Yun: "Earlier in Xuzhou, the last general was almost poisoned by Cao Cao, if it weren't for General Deng Zhan's sacrifice to enter the city, the last general would not have survived now!" Now the general has saved the last general on the battlefield, and the last general owes His Highness in this life, I am afraid that it will be difficult to repay it for cattle and horses! ”
"Wen Hou doesn't have to be like this!" Smiled and waved his hand at Lu Bu, Zhao Yun said to Tao Hu on the side: "Go on the road tomorrow and return the Wenhou blade!" ”
"No!" After Zhao Yun's order, Tao Hu responded with a fist.
"So, isn't it?" Knowing that Zhao Yun wanted him to accompany him with weapons, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and said to Zhao Yun: "If that Cao Cao knows, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"Cao Cao knows nothing!" Zhao Yun smiled and said to Lu Bu: "The person Wen Hou wants to watch out for is that Liu Bei!" ”
"Big-eared children, two abandoned families, a certain thought and a small innocent family, returned twice, but I don't want to put someone to death!" At the mention of Liu Bei, Lu Bu snorted coldly, and said with disdain in his tone.
"Today, that Zhang Fei wants to kill Wen Hou, Wen Hou asks for battle, and the last general has to refuse!" Holding his fists and arching towards Lu Bu, Zhao Yun said to him: "Wen Hou is patient now, and when he meets that Zhang Fei again in the future, Wen Hou can let him know how powerful!" ”
"Ring-eyed thief, insult me repeatedly!" Thinking of Zhang Fei, Lu Bu hated the root of his teeth, and said to Zhao Yun: "If you let someone meet him on the battlefield in the future, he will definitely be cut off the horse!" ”
Knowing that Lu Bu had this ability, Zhao Yun didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and then shouted outside the tent: "Someone!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yun's summoning, a tiger guard guarding outside the tent opened the tent curtain and walked in, stood behind the tent curtain with his fists folded, and asked Zhao Yun, "What does the general command?" ”
"Let the quartermaster prepare some wine and food, and General Ben and Wen Hou will drink two today!" Looking at the tiger guard, Zhao Yun gave him an order.
When Hu Benwei left, Zhao Yun said to Lu Bu again: "The last general respects Wen Hou and wants to discuss some fist and foot techniques with Wen Hou, and I hope Wen Hou will give him advice!" ”
"The general is too modest!" He had fought with Zhao Yun that day, and he also knew that Zhao Yun was powerful, Lu Bu hurriedly hugged his fists and gave Zhao Yun a salute and said: "The general's martial arts are exquisite, if you and I have no other people to disturb you that day, and we fight three or five thousand together, I am afraid that we will not be able to tell the winner!" ”
Lu Bu's words are a bit hypocritical.
Fighting with Zhao Yun that day, although Zhao Yun advanced and retreated to a certain extent, he could not get any advantage in the competition.
Zhao Yun also knew that if no other generals arrived that day, I was afraid that after hundreds of times, he would be defeated by Lu Bu.
However, Zhao Yun did not expose Lu Bu, but smiled slightly and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou doesn't have to be too humble!" ”
Hu Benwei snatched Lu Bu in front of Cao Cao's army, and the matter soon spread among the heroes of the world.
Everywhere got the news that Hu Benwei snatched Lu Bu away in the future, although he was far away in Luoyang, he had been paying attention to Liu Wei in Xuzhou, and naturally he would be rewarded.
After listening to the scout's account in detail, Liu Wei waved his hand at the scout and said, "Let's find out how far Hu Benwei is from Luoyang right now, report it every day!" ”
The scout replied and exited the antechamber of the palace.
In the front hall, in addition to Liu Wei, Xu Shu and others were also among them, and the whole process of Hu Benwei's robbery of Lu Bu was heard by Xu Shu and others.
When the scouts left, Xu Shu stood up, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, Lu Bu has been defeated, if our army does not go south to Huainan, I am afraid it will ......."
"Cao Cao is afraid that he has launched an attack on Huainan!" Xu Shu stopped talking before he finished speaking, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said to him: "Chen Gong has already set off for Huainan, and I don't know that it is possible to persuade the people of Huainan to rebel against Yuan Shu!" ”
"Absolutely!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, before Xu Shu could speak, Pang Tong looked at Liu Wei with a smile and said: "Chen Gong is quite eloquent, and after Yuan Shu became the emperor, the Huainan area is not tolerated by all places!" Although there is still a lot of grain and grass, and now it is also sitting and eating in the warehouse, the people are afraid that Yuan Shu has long been dissatisfied. ”
Turning his head to look at Pang Tong, Liu Wei asked him, "Shi Yuan, is there any news that can't be found?" ”
"Your Highness, please look!" Pang Tong did not answer Liu Bian, but stood up, took out a letter from his arms, held it in both hands and presented it to Liu Bian, and said to him: "This letter was written by the friends you made when your subordinates traveled in Huainan in the past!" I received it this morning, and I said the current situation in the Huainan area! ”
Taking the letter from Pang Tong's hand, Liu Wei unfolded the letter and carefully skimmed through every word in it.
After reading the letter, Liu Wei raised his head and looked at Pang Tong and asked him, "Can this matter be taken seriously?" ”
"At the moment, Huainan is afraid that it is just as stated in the letter!" Nodding, Pang Tong said to Liu Wei: "If this is the case, His Royal Highness the people of Huainan can really rebel, but the grain and grass are ......."
At this point, Pang Tong looked at Liu Wei and did not continue.
Frowning tightly, Liu Wei was silent for a long time before shouting outside the hall: "Someone!" ”
