Chapter 48 The ultimate showdown under Puyang City
In Chenliu County and Suanzao County, there is a wine shop...
It's been three or four days since Brother Hi's last visit.
In this calamity year, a wine shop has returned to its former liveliness.
No one could have imagined that the dish of fried locusts would suddenly become popular throughout Chenliu County.
Even many wealthy families and aristocratic families in Chenliu County came here specially, looking like they were attracted by the reputation and were salivating.
This also allowed Yi Xiaotian, who had been prepared for it, to make a lot of money.
…
At this time, Yi Xiaotian stood in front of the counter and helped Cai Zhaoji calculate the accounts. There were strings of five baht coins, which was quite cumbersome to count.
There are several tables near the counter.
The sound of guests talking here caught Yi Xiaotian's attention.
They all seemed to be talking about the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu at Puyang City two days ago.
"Have you heard? Two days ago, Cao Cao fought with Lu Bu in Puyang City. They fought from late at night to dawn, and there was a river of blood!"
"How could you not have heard of it? Our Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Cao is really powerful. He was able to see through Lu Bu's trick of pretending to surrender, and he used the trick to attack Puyang City from the laxly defended East City Gate! When the army entered the city, Lu Bu was still confused.
In the dark, do you think Cao Cao has fallen into the trap? Haha... It seems that his brain is really a good thing!"
"That's not all. I heard that a strong man ran out of Cao Cao's camp this time. His name is... what's his name? Dian Wei!"
Mention Dian Wei.
The tone of the man who spoke was stuttering. Apparently, even just mentioning Dian Wei's name was enough to give him a chill in his heart!
The topic leads to Dian Wei...
All of a sudden, the guests at several tables seemed quite excited and immediately gathered together to talk.
"This Dian Wei is really powerful! I heard that Lu Bu was attacking in the chaos. Dian Wei was unhurried and calm. He seemed to be dismissive of Lu Bu..."
Speaking of this, the man spoke in an excited tone, telling the story of how General Dian Wei could defeat the bandit army? How he could defeat Lu Bu!
It's about being so happy that I wish I could transform into Dian Wei, fight against thousands of troops under the Puyang City, and create a great reputation!
…
turn out to be.
Even though it was a surprise attack.
Even though they rushed into Puyang City.
But in the face of the flying general Lu Bu's charge, Cao Cao and the other generals still subconsciously felt timid.
After all, the intimidation brought by Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every soldier!
But at this time.
Dian Wei took the lead and didn't even bother to take a look at Lu Bu's charge. He just said to the generals around him, "Tell me when the enemy is ten steps away from me!"
After a while, all the generals shouted, "Ten steps!"
Dian Wei then said, "Tell me when you reach the fifth step!"
As he spoke, Cao Cao saw Lu Bu coming to kill him, and Cao Cao shouted, "Strong man, the thieves have arrived!"
These words just came out of my mouth...
Dian Wei roared, jumped up, waved the halberd in his hand and rushed towards the enemy camp...
How high is Dian Wei's military strength?
I don’t know if he was adding fuel to the fire or if it was just the truth. The man’s words were full of excitement, and finally turned into eight words - he will be defeated by anyone who cannot resist him!
What does it mean? None of Lu Bu's personal guards can stand up to Dian Wei for a round.
Then came the peak showdown between Dian Wei and Lu Bu. The two fought for more than a hundred rounds without deciding the outcome, which made all the soldiers in Cao camp's blood boil with excitement!
At this time, Lu Bu's soldiers were completely confused. The situation was already very bad. The city had been destroyed. They hoped that only the remaining coach Lu Bu could defeat the enemy, improve their morale, and turn the tide of the war.
But now, the God of War Lu Bu is obviously unable to fight a strong man from Cao Ying, the God of War. This...
All of a sudden, the morale of Lu Bu's soldiers was low, and they could only keep retreating. The battle for Puyang also became one-sided!
The guest who told the story was like a storyteller, describing every detail of the Battle of Puyang City in great detail and with great emotion, which attracted the applause of countless guests around him.
Yi Xiaotian listened and nodded slightly, without much emotion on his expression...
It was in sharp contrast to the excitement and ecstasy of all the guests!
Speaking of which, ancient people and modern people are the same. In this war-torn era, they are all very keen on ranking the strongest generals with force. They always argue about who is strong and weak during leisure time.
just like…
Dian Wei's battle with Lu Bu can be regarded as the pinnacle of duel in this era.
…
"Sir, you seem very calm?"
Cai Zhaoji blinked her big eyes. Even a little girl like her couldn't help but feel excited when she heard about Dian Wei's bravery and Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts.
But sir, he was too calm, as if he had already understood all this, and as if all the stories that happened were taken for granted.
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and just sighed. "The world only knows the unparalleled martial arts of the flying general Lu Bu, but the name of 'Evil from Ancient Times'? How can it be bluffing and deceiving?"
After saying this, I didn’t explain too much... I raised my eyes, glanced out the window, and murmured.
"Puyang will definitely be there. Next, it should be Xuzhou, right?"
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian squinted at the sky and counted the days with his fingers.
It seemed that he suddenly figured something out, and his eyes opened in vain. "Huo, we just happened to catch up with Tao Qian's annual drama of "Three Concessions to Xuzhou"!"
…
…
Yanzhou, Puyang City.
Cao Cao was sitting in the chief seat of the government office, and a group of generals in front of him were reporting to him the damage in this battle.
Lu Bu escaped and fled in a hurry...
Food and grass were in short supply, and it was just a matter of being plotted by Cao Cao. However, a general came out of Cao Cao's camp, a general who could rival Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts!
No matter how hard this battle is fought, it is impossible to turn the tide of the war!
Lu Bu led a group of cadres and fled toward the southeast in despair, panicking like a bereaved dog.
"Mengde, these are the captured weapons, baggage, and horses..." Xiahou Dun detailed the quantity of the loot...
Cao Cao appeared to be listening attentively, but in his heart he was thinking about something else.
After the report was completed and Xiahou Dun and his party retreated, Cao Cao couldn't wait to ask Cao Ren...
"The two women beside Lu Bu? Were they captured?"
"Caught one!" Cao Ren lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Before the war, Cao Cao specifically told him to pay attention to Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi.
I never thought that in the chaos of the army, one of Cao Ren's negligence actually escaped!
"Which one was captured?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.
"Lu Bu's eldest daughter Lu Lingqi!" Cao Ren replied...
Phew...Cao Cao sighed. He scratched his head and murmured.
"After all, I haven't fulfilled Brother Yi's instructions! But fortunately, although Diao Chan hasn't been captured, I can capture one Lu Lingqi and explain to Brother Yi. Zixiao, prepare your horse quickly and we will personally deliver it to Brother Yi!"
"
Cao Cao seemed a little frustrated...
After all, Yi Xiaotian made suggestions to help him defeat Lu Bu and help him regain Puyang.
But they were just two women? It was a surprise that they were not captured by Yi Xiaotian. No wonder Cao Cao was in a heavy mood and felt a little disappointed.
At this time, Cao Cao stood up and planned to walk out of the government office gate to find a fast horse...
"Mengde!"
However, Cao Ren quickly called out to Cao Cao.
"This this…"
He hesitated to speak, as if he had unspeakable difficulties...
"Zixiao? What happened?" Cao Cao felt an ominous premonition in his heart. "Is it possible? You have injured this woman, right? Didn't I tell you that the woman Brother Yi wants must not be injured at all?"
!”
"No...no!" Cao Ren shook his head repeatedly. "It's Lu Lingqi, the eldest daughter of Lu Bu. She has a very hot temper and can also do martial arts, let alone singing and dancing. I'm afraid she could be sent to a wine shop. If she starts a fight, she can destroy the wine shop.
Take it apart!"
At this point, Cao Ren shook his head. "Otherwise, let's forget it. I'm afraid Brother Yi won't be able to conquer her!"
Hmm...Lu Bu's eldest daughter? She is such a strong woman?
Cao Cao was slightly startled, and then burst out laughing...
"My son is filial, my son is filial. Brother Yi has hidden strategies and good plans. He has all the princes in the world under his control. It's just a little girl? How can he be helpless?"
As he spoke, Cao Cao picked up Cao Ren and walked out quickly.
"Zixiao? How about we make a bet?"
"bet?"
"Yes, let's bet on whether Brother Yi can surrender this little girl!"
Huo... bet on this!
Cao Ren, with a wisp of beard, also smiled slightly. "Mengde, after you said that, why do I suddenly feel that this bet? I will lose!"
