Chapter 229 The War in Xuzhou (1)
After Luo Cheng and Li Jing returned to Chang'an, they immediately entered the palace and asked to see Wang Kai.
When Wang Kai saw Luo Cheng and Li Jing coming back so quickly, he immediately asked: "Shixin, pharmacist, have the Yellow Turban bandits been defeated?"
At this time, Luo Cheng replied: "My lord, the yellow turban bandits are no longer something to be afraid of. There will be something important to report in the end."
Seeing what Luo Cheng said, Wang Kai immediately pushed back the guards around him and asked: "Shixin, what's the matter with you?"
After hearing this, Luo Cheng immediately signaled Li Jing to hand over the jade seal.
Li Jing then took out the imperial seal from his arms and presented it to him.
When Wang Kai saw Li Jing coming forward with a package in both hands, he asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Li Jing then replied: "Master, you will know after you open it and take a look!"
After hearing this, Wang Kai immediately replied: "Shixin, pharmacist, I want to see what you are planning to do."
With that said, Wang Kai opened the package.
When Wang Kai saw a square jade, he immediately thought to himself: 'Oh my God, is this the legendary jade seal passed down to the country? I didn't expect that wearing a small yellow scarf would yield such a harvest.'
While thinking about it, Wang Kai carefully observed the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
After reading this, Wang Kai also became vigilant, because in history, Sun Jian was killed after possessing the Jade Seal of the State, and he did not want to attract siege from the princes because of the Jade Seal of the State.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Kai asked Luo Cheng and Li Jing: "Shixin, pharmacist, did anyone else see this thing when you found it?"
After hearing this, Li Jing immediately replied: "My lord, this thing was discovered by an old soldier under my command. In addition to me and General Luo, there are ten other soldiers who have seen it."
"In that case, Medicine Master, please give me the names of these ten people, and I will transfer them to the palace to prevent them from leaking the news."
"The general will obey your orders!"
"Shixin, Medicine Master, this matter of passing down the national jade seal is of great importance. You must not let others know about it. Do you understand?"
Luo Cheng and Li Jing immediately agreed after hearing this.
Immediately, Wang Kai asked Luo Cheng and Li Jing to go ahead.
When only Wang Kai was left in the hall, Wang Kai looked at the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and began to think deeply, because the Jade Seal of the Kingdom was a hot potato. Holding it without the strength would only bring disaster, just like Sun Jian in history, but Wang Kai
Kai thought about it but didn't want to hand over the Imperial Seal, because it would be difficult for him to take it back after handing it over.
Wang Kai, who was hesitant, finally hid the imperial seal, intending to use it when the time was right.
At this time, Cao Cao on the Xuzhou front also received news of the accident in Luoyang City.
Immediately, Cao Cao immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.
When everyone arrived, Cao Cao immediately told everyone what happened in Luoyang.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xun You immediately said: "My lord, it seems that Wang Zhenxi has not given up on the Heluo area when he sends troops to Luoyang. Once Wang Zhenxi is allowed to be in charge of Sili, I am afraid that the emperor will naturally designate him as Sili school.
Lieutenant, this may have a profound impact on my lord."
Cao Cao was also deeply impressed after hearing this.
At this time, Cheng Yu also said: "My lord, Liu Bei and Lu Bu are already at odds now. We can divide our troops into Luoyang to seize Luoyang."
After thinking deeply, Cao Cao replied: "No, although Liu Bei and Lu Bu live separately in Xiapi and Pengcheng, they are like centipede insects. If I leave now, I'm afraid Liu Bei and Lu Bu will join forces again, and Xuzhou will be in trouble again."
Conquered."
Cheng Yu immediately agreed after hearing this, because Liu Bei and Lu Bu were originally united, and their current separation was due to Cao Cao's alienation tactics. If Cao Cao left, the situation in Xuzhou might be reversed again.
At this time, Xia Houyuan asked for orders: "My lord, since you can't move lightly, I will lead five thousand soldiers to kill and garrison in Luoyang. After my lord takes Xuzhou, I will fight with Wang Kai."
After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly thought: "Liu Bei and Lu Bu need me to be in charge to ensure that they are safe. The situation in Heluo is not particularly critical now. It is feasible to let Miao Cai go. As long as Luoyang is suppressed, Wang Kai's army will
It will be difficult to conquer Heluo.'
After thinking of this, Cao Cao said to Xia Houyuan: "Xia Houyuan obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
"I will lead 10,000 troops to Luoyang to guard. If you are in danger, you can seek support from Cao Ren of Hulao Pass."
"The general will obey your orders!"
After receiving the order, Xia Houyuan immediately led his troops to leave the Xuzhou front line.
After Xia Houyuan left, Cao Cao immediately focused his attention on Liu Bei who conquered Pengcheng.
Besides, when Liu Bei in Pengcheng saw Cao Cao's massive attack on the city again, he immediately led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to continuously resist Cao's army's attack.
After Liu Bei's army repelled Cao's attack again, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei: "Brother, Cao Cao has been attacking the city for several months, and the food in Pengcheng is almost exhausted. Why don't we abandon the city and escape!"
"
"No, Tao Shijun entrusted Xuzhou to me before he died. If I leave Pengcheng, I will break my promise."
"Brother, now we can't even protect ourselves, why do we care about those things?"
"Second brother, don't say any more. I swear to defend Pengcheng to the death. If Cao Cao is allowed to attack the city, the people of Pengcheng will be brutally killed by Cao Cao."
"Brother, if you insist on defending the city, shall we seek reinforcements?"
"Second brother, do you want the eldest brother to go find Lu Bu?"
"Third brother, our life and death are now at stake. If we don't seek reinforcements, we will have no choice but to wait for death."
Liu Bei thought for a while and finally said: "Second brother, it's up to you to rush to Xiapi to ask Lu Bu for help!"
After making a promise, Guan Yu prepared to leave.
Zhang Fei was very unhappy when he saw this and said: "Eldest brother, second brother, Lu Bu is so capricious. Will he really send troops to rescue him?"
"Third brother, with Chen Gongtai by Lu Fengxian's side, I believe Lu Fengxian will send troops to help."
Zhang Fei was helpless after hearing this.
Besides, after Guan Yu accepted the order, he immediately left the city alone and broke out from the east gate.
When the soldiers of Cao's army surrounding Pengcheng saw Guan Yu leaving the city, Cao's soldiers immediately charged towards Guan Yu.
Upon seeing this, Guan Yu rushed into the crowd without fear and began to break out.
When the soldiers of Cao's army saw that Guan Yu was alone among the crowd, they suddenly felt timid.
When Xiahou Dun, the leader of the East Gate, saw that Guan Yu was unstoppable, he immediately prepared to order to kill him with bows and arrows.
At this time, after Cao Cao learned that Guan Yu had broken through, he immediately ordered Xiahou Dun not to fire arrows.
Xiahou Dun, who received Cao Cao's military order, finally watched Guan Yu break out.
Immediately, Xiahou Dun came to Cao Cao's military camp and asked: "My lord, why don't you let me shoot Guan Yu?"
"Yuan Rang, Guan Yu's breakthrough is exactly what I want."
When he heard this, Xiahou Dun immediately stopped asking, because since Cao Cao said this, it meant that Cao Cao already knew what was going on.
Immediately afterwards, Xiahou Dun immediately said goodbye to Cao Cao.
