At that moment, while they were sleeping together in the tent, Zou Yuniang suddenly said: "If you stay in the city for a long time, Zhang Xiu will be suspicious, and people will talk about it if you know it."
Cao Cao said: "Tomorrow I will go live with my wife in the stronghold."
The next day, Cao Cao moved to the stronghold outside the city to rest. Fearing that the officials would comment, he called Dian Wei to rest outside the tent. He ordered more than 200 troops to guard the tent. They were not allowed to enter unless he was called. Anyone who violated it would be beheaded. Therefore, there was no communication between inside and outside. Cao Cao had fun with Zou Yuniang every day and did not think about his return date.
When a family member secretly reported Zhang Xiu about Cao Cao and Zou Yuniang, Zhang Xiu was furious. He slapped the case and stood up, saying: "I regard Cao Cao as a man who practices benevolence and righteousness, and what he does now is an insult to me!" He ordered the new scribes to join him. Please come and discuss.
The scribe came and bowed and said: "This matter must not be leaked, otherwise we will all die! When Cao Cao comes out to discuss matters in the future, we will do this, this, and this!" Zhang Xiu squinted his eyes and nodded frequently. .
The next day, when Cao Cao was sitting under his tent, Zhang Xiu said: "Many of the newly surrendered soldiers have fled, and they are begging to be moved to camp the central army." Cao Cao agreed, and Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, so he camped the central army in the road with great fanfare and divided each of them into four villages.
Within a few days, Zhang Xiu inquired and found out that there was Dian Wei Jiyong in front of Cao Cao's tent. He had two short-handled iron halberds weighing eighty kilograms. He was approaching in emergency. A general named Lei Xu was in front of Zhang Xiu's tent. He was a general under Zhang Xiu. Seeing that Zhang Xiu was unhappy, he asked him why, and Zhang Xiu told him the past events.
Lei Xu heard this and had an idea: "On the day of the due date, I will invite Dian Wei to drink and make him drunk. However, if I steal his halberd first, he will be useless." Zhang Xiu was very happy and prepared bows, arrows and armored soldiers in advance. Notice to each village.
When the time came, Zhang Xiu ordered the scribes to pay their respects and invited Dian Wei to come to the stronghold to express his gratitude. He treated him generously and offered him wine. As expected, Dian Wei was really drunk at night and sent him out of the stronghold gate. Lei Xu took advantage of the darkness and mingled with the crowd. Go straight to Dazhai.
That night, while Cao Cao and Zou Yuniang were drinking, they suddenly heard people outside the tent shouting and shouting. Cao Cao sent someone to watch and reported that Zhang Xiujun was on night patrol. .
Cao Cao said: "The soldier must have been careless. Don't be alarmed."
Not long after, when fire broke out everywhere, Cao Cao quickly called Dian Wei. Dian Wei fell drunk in the tent. In his dream, he heard the sound of golden drums shouting for death. He suddenly jumped up and looked for the two halberds beside the bed. When you get to the camp gate, you quickly pull out the daggers on the soldiers' waists.
Dian Wei saw countless soldiers and horses at the head of the gate, each with a long spear, coming to grab the entrance to the stronghold. Dian Wei rushed forward and killed more than 20 people. The piece of armor was stabbed by dozens of spears from top to bottom, front and back, and he screamed for a fight to the death!
The sword was too damaged to be used again, so Dian Wei abandoned the sword and held two soldiers with both hands to meet him, killing eight or nine of them. None of the thieves dared to approach the gate of the village, so they shot them with arrows from a distance. The arrows were like rain. Dian Wei Wei You refused the gate of the village, but when he heard that the bandits from the left and right had entered the village, and spears came from behind, Dian Wei screamed several times and died with blood flowing all over the ground. For a long time, no one dared to enter in front of the gate.
A historian wrote a poem praising: "Guarding the central army tent, the only hero is Wei. He is frightened when he hears the wind, and his soul flies away when he sees the shadow. The ape's arms hold two halberds, and his body is hung with iron clothes. He died in a fierce battle at the Juihe River, showing his magical power through the ages."
Another poem says: Two iron halberds carrying eighty kilograms hold the world in majesty. If I want to count the heroes from the beginning, I can only say that there was a king in the past.
"Biography" says: At three o'clock, there was Dian Wei, a strong man under the tent, carrying a pair of iron halberds, weighing eighty kilograms.
It is also said: Dian Wei held an ax and stood beside Duke Cao, and no one dared to look up. After Dian Wei died, the bandits cut off his head and passed it around to see, but the people were still horrified.
Let's turn around and talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao got Dian Wei to stay at the front gate and got the Dawan horse. Cao Cao flew on the horse and waited until he left. Cao An was the only one at the back gate, and Cao Cao's people followed him. At this time, he had not reached the Juishui River. Cao Cao
An arrow hit his right arm, and his horse also carried three arrows. Later, the thieves rushed to the river. Cao An and Cao Min were caught up by the thieves and chopped into pieces. Cao Cao rushed across the river with his horse.
There is a poem from later generations that says: Meng De is a treacherous hero, and Zhang Xiu of Nanyang is a hero. After the third watch, the shouts were loud, and the whole village was filled with red flames.
The water rushes by, but there are still traces of the old horses on the bank of the embankment.
Cao Cao suddenly rode ashore, and died with an arrow in the horse's eye. His eldest son, Cao Ang, used his horse to save Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was saved. Cao Ang was shot to death by random arrows. The men and horses filled the water, and Cao Cao fought desperately to escape. He met all the generals on the road.
Telling Dian Wei to save his life, Zhang Xiu divided his troops to pursue Cao Cao.
At that time, Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuanrang led troops from Qingzhou, and took advantage of the situation to go to the countryside and plunder the people. He imprisoned the school captain and killed his troops on the road to appease the villagers. The Qingzhou soldiers went back to meet Cao Cao and worshiped him in tears.
On the ground, Yu Jin rebelled, and he rushed to kill his troops. Cao Cao was shocked. Afterwards, all his troops arrived, including Xiahou Yuanrang, Xu Chu, Li Dian, and Le Jin. Cao Cao said Yujin rebelled, and Xiahou Yuanrang gathered his troops to meet him.
When Yu Jin saw that Cao Cao and others had arrived, he led his troops to shoot at the corners of the formation and dig trenches to set up camp. His subordinates reported: "The Qingzhou army has announced that the general will rebel. Now that the prime minister has arrived, why don't you tell us how to set up camp first? If the sergeant warns, the general will rebel."
inconvenient."
Yu Jin said: "The traitors are behind us now. They will arrive from time to time. If we don't prepare first, how can we resist the enemy? Distinguish small things and withdraw the troops for big things." As soon as the camp established by Yu Jin was completed, the two armies and horses divided by Zhang Xiu were killed together.
to.
Yu Jin took the lead and came out of the stronghold to kill Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was defeated and urgently ordered his troops to retreat. When the generals on the left and right saw Yu Jin moving forward, they each led their troops to attack him. Zhang Xiu's army was defeated and they pursued him for more than a hundred miles. Zhang Xiu was left alone and exhausted.
He led the defeated troops to Liu Biao.
Cao Cao did not pursue him, so he gathered his troops and gathered his generals. He came to see them in Jin, and warned that Qingzhou's soldiers had looted and greatly disappointed the people, so he killed them. Cao Cao said: "If you don't sue me, why go to the stronghold first?"
Yu Jin responded with his own preface, Cao Cao said: "I am in great distress over the difficulty of draining the river. In the midst of chaos, a general can marshal an army to attack a strong base, but there are immovable links. Even though he is a famous general in ancient times, why should he do it!"
A pair of gold vessels, and the title of Marquis Yishouting. He blamed Xiahou Dun for his lax military management, and Cao Cao ordered his troops to return to the capital.
While marching, Cao Cao and the generals said: "I have lost my eldest son, but I love my nephew well. The people have no tears of pain, and I am the only one to weep for Dian Wei!" All the civil and military officials lamented that the Lord loved his soldiers more than his own children. Everyone returned the capital, and Cao Cao each
Give each one a reward.
Yuan Shu was in Huainan, with a vast land and abundant grain, and he could take advantage of the people. His warehouses were full, and he also had the jade seal of destiny pledged by Sun Ce. Therefore, Yuan Shu had always wanted to become emperor. Now his palace, chariots, and crowns were all ready.
It's time to join the group.
At this time, in the Yuan Mansion in Shouchun, Yuan Shu invited all the important civil and military personnel who stayed in Shouchun City. Everyone was surprised when they heard that in the past few months, Yuan Shu had built a large mansion in Shouchun City. If it was an ordinary mansion, everyone would also be surprised.
I don't think there is anything strange, but the house Yuan Shu built was not the house of an ordinary minister, but the house of an emperor. In other words, it was a palace. However, Yuan Shu did not say it clearly, and no one dared to say it.
