At this time, Liu Bei was ordered to attack the west gate. After receiving Cao Cao's invitation, he and Guan Yu came to the south gate, and then entered the city with Cao Cao to climb the White Gate Tower.

When Lu Bu saw Cao Cao, he hurriedly said: "Ming Gong's patients are no more than Yu Buer. Bu has never met the Ming Lord in his life, and now he is willing to worship under Ming Gong's tent, lead the horse and fall, and fight for the world for Ming Gong."

Cao Cao didn't speak, but looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's heart tightened when he was stared at, and he wondered if Cao thief had some schemes?

At this time, Chen Gong happened to be escorted to the White Gate Tower. In the past, Cao Cao almost lost because of him in Yanzhou, so when he won, he naturally had to show off in front of everyone.

Hearing Lv Bu's sonorous words just now, Chen Gong raised his head and laughed loudly: "Lv Bu is a common man, he was defeated and captured, he just died, why bother to beg for mercy like that poor dog?"

"Gongtai has such a sharp mouth, why don't you see the prestige of Yanzhou in the past? Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed.

"Hmph..." Chen Gong was originally pushed to Lu Bu's side, but this guy suddenly struggled and took a few steps away.

Cao Cao ignored Chen Gong, and instead said to Liu Bei: "Xuande has been bullied by this guy many times, in your opinion, should I kill or keep?"

"This..." Although Liu Bei hated Lu Bu, he didn't want to kill him yet, but it was a pity that he returned to Cao Cao like this.

"Cao Mengde, you still don't forget to play tricks at this time, and you really deserve others to call you a traitor." Chen Gong snorted coldly.

When Chen Gong said this, how could Liu Bei dare to speak up?

Cao Cao frowned and said coldly: "Chen Gong, you have despised me several times, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Chen Gong turned his head away from looking at him, and said disdainfully: "Winners will be kings and losers, and death will be death. Why do you need to say more?"

"You..." Cao Cao was too stunned to refute.

Although Lu Bu is dull, he is not stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that Cao Cao had no intention of letting him go, so he said with a dumb smile: "Huangtu Baye is talking and laughing, and life can't be drunk. Gongtai is right, there is a winner and a loser, and there is death." That's all."

At this time, Chen Gong saw Lu Bu's eyes changed, and he echoed excitedly: "While talking and laughing with Huangtu Baye, I can't bear to be drunk in life. This is the Lu Fengxian I know."

Cao Cao was dumbfounded when he heard it, did he say such famous words?Why don't I, Cao Mengde, know?

"Cao thief, do you have the beheading wine?" Chen Gong shouted.

"Yes... eh? Get them wine..." Cao Cao was startled. Chen Gongtai scolded me, why should I agree?This is called mind.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong laughed wildly after drinking the beheading wine, Cao Cao saw that they wanted to die, so he stopped persuading them, and hanged them on the White Gate Tower.

"Why didn't Xuande say anything just now?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Bei is still thinking about it, but Mr. Gongtai..." Liu Bei hesitated to speak.

Cao Cao shook his head, and asked the bound Zhang Liao, "Who are you? Why didn't you follow your master?"

"Is Zhang Liao a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Kill him if he wants to." Zhang Liao glared angrily.

Guan Yu who was beside Liu Bei hastily pleaded and said: "Ming Gong wait a moment, Zhang Wenyuan is outstanding in martial arts, loyal and righteous, it's a pity to kill..."

"I also know that Wen Yuan is loyal, so I just said something to make fun of you." Cao Cao said with a smile, and walked over to untie Zhang Liao himself.

Zhang Liao was not determined to die, he cupped his fists to thank Guan Yu, and returned to Cao Cao's tent.

"Just now I heard Lu Bu and Chen Gong say: Huangtu Baye is talking and laughing, it is too much to be drunk in life. This statement is quite artistic. I don't know who made it?" Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao.

"It is said that it is Xiaopei, a farmer." Zhang Liao answered truthfully.

"Farmer? How can a farmer have such pride? Does Wenyuan know the name of this person?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "It seems that it is called Lanziyu. This is a rumor in the army. Liao can't know all about it..."

"Lan Ziyu, I have never heard of this name. Xuande has been in Xiaopei for a long time, but have you heard of this person?" Cao Cao asked again.

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, but he said calmly, "I don't know, this is the first time Bei has heard this..."

Chapter 39

Yuan Shao was ready to move in Hebei, but Cao Cao did not dare to stay long after capturing Xiapi.

After two days of recuperation, the class teacher will return to Xudu, and the family members of the surrendered general, Chen Gong and Lu Bu's wives and concubines will also be brought back together.

Cao Cao loves to marry other people's wives. In addition to being good-looking, he also has exemplary and symbolic meanings. For example, he can treat the enemy's family members kindly, or in other words, he can win the hearts of the rest of the people in disguise.

Lu Bu's concubines, Yan and Cao, were not very attractive, so Cao Cao brought Qin Yilu's wife, Du, into his house.

Before the class teacher, Cao Cao said to Zhang Liao: "The population of the city has been checked in the past two days, but the daughter of General Gao Shun and Lu Bu has not been found. Wen Yuan knows why?"

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and replied, "Before the old master relegated General Gao to be the military commander and let him be in charge of guarding and patrolling the inner city. He and Ms. Lu had a good mentorship, maybe he escaped while taking advantage of the chaos?"

"Gao Boping is a talented general, it's a pity to lose... What does the girl from the Lu family look like?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Miss Lu is beautiful, and her martial arts skills are not inferior to that of a general..." Zhang Liao sighed.

"She is a woman, and her martial arts skills are not inferior to Wen Yuan's?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

Seeing Zhang Liao nodding his head affirmatively, Cao Cao's little disappointment disappeared in an instant.

While the two were talking, the guard Xu Chu came to report, "My lord, although Miss Lu's whereabouts were not found, I found a box of letters in her room, and this is one of the volumes."

Cao Cao wondered what kind of book a woman could read. He casually took the letter, opened it, and was soon attracted by the plot in the book. Then he asked excitedly, "How many volumes are there in this book?"

"About one hundred volumes," Xu Chu replied.

"Well, order the three armies to return to Xudu immediately, so don't look for Miss Lu. The woman is a duckweed in troubled times. Even if she can survive in the world, she won't be able to make any big waves." Cao Cao didn't care.

"Wei." Xu Chu cupped his fists and left.

Cao Cao left [-] soldiers and horses temporarily stationed in Xiapi, and left for Xudu with Liu Bei and others.

At dusk, the army camped in the wild to rest. Cao Cao called Liu Bei to the tent of the Chinese army and asked, "Xuande helps me destroy Lu Bu. I will be the emperor and ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ming, for your generosity." Liu Bei clasped his fists in thanks.

After experiencing the incident at Baimen Tower, he kept a few more thoughts on Cao Cao, saying that this fellow would not ask me to chat for no reason.

At this time, Cao Cao said: "My newly accepted Mrs. Du was originally begged by Yun Chang, but was sent to my account in advance by my subordinates, so it is inconvenient to transfer it to General Guan. Xuande should explain one or two for me, don't hate me Cao Mengde what."

"Women are like clothes, my second brother will never hold grudges against Duke Ming." Liu Bei said seriously.

Cao Cao patted Liu Bei's shoulder and said with a smile, "I heard that Xuande has a lady as beautiful as white jade. Why don't you bring her back to Xudu? It's also a good way to relieve loneliness on the way."

"Clumsy Jing's father is seriously ill in bed, and she is currently staying at home to take care of her, so it is inconvenient to travel with me..." Liu Bei explained.

"It turned out to be the case. Inviting Xuande here today is not for other reasons, but for drinking and tasting books." Cao Cao said.

"Book tasting?"

Cao Cao pulled Liu Bei aside, only to see a large exquisite wooden box on the table, with many books densely packed inside.

"This is the most interesting trophy I got in Xuzhou." Cao Cao pointed to the wooden box and said.

Liu Bei took out the first volume and wrote: The Legend of the Condor Heroes, written by Jin Lao.

Unrolling the scroll reveals the novel story. Liu Bei read it with great interest, and finished reading a scroll in a blink of an eye. He said in surprise, "Who is Mr. Jin? This story is so well-conceived that I can't put it down after reading it."

"Hahaha, Xuande also found out? I heard that this is Lu Bu's daughter and asked someone to transcribe it. I plan to read it at night by lighting the lamp." Cao Cao laughed.

"Is Ms. Lu the old Jin? It's unbelievable..." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

"No, I heard from Wen Yuan that Ms. Lu heard that Lan Ziyu dictated it. I guess this person must know Mr. Jin. The words about Huangtu Baye should also be written by this person. I will go there in person someday. Xiaopei asks for it," Cao Cao stroked his beard and said.

"Bei also wants to meet this old Jin..." Liu Bei suspected that old Jin was Lan Tian's teacher, and hoped that he could be one step ahead of Cao Cao.

"If Xuande is not lacking, how about reading this book with me?" Cao Cao invited.

"I really wish for it..."

Cao Cao and Liu Bei rested when they saw Zishi, and Xu Chu and Zhang Fei, who were in charge of guarding outside the tent, also stood hard in the cold wind until Zishi.

At this time, in Xiaopei's Ganjiazhuang, Ganji's condition suddenly relapsed.

Lan Tian hurried into the city to look for the doctor. It turned out that only one of the two men who treated Gan Ji was found.

"How is it?" Lan Tian asked anxiously.

"My father was originally invaded by wind evil, and he was seriously frightened, so he fell ill and couldn't get up. Last time, Mr. Xu and I suppressed it with strong medicine, but now the cold weather has caused the old disease. I really can't do anything about it. unless……"

"Unless what?"

"I heard that there is a man named Hua Tuo who is good at treating all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases. The young master can ask for him..." the doctor suggested.

Hua Tuo?Lan Tian was startled when he heard that, of course Hua Tuo, the genius doctor, knew he had the ability, but where could he find the greatness in the world?

"Sir, do you know where Mr. Hua is?" Lan Tian asked expectantly.

Lang Zhong shook his head and said: "I heard that he once traveled around Xuyang, but Xuzhou has had many wars in recent years, and he may have gone elsewhere. Shaozhuang mainly looks for this person, and may need the help of a prince..."

Lan Tian was immediately stunned, isn't it the same as not saying anything?Now that I have no name and no power, which prince can sell this face?At this moment, he felt unprecedented powerlessness.

The city of Xiapi was destroyed and Lu Bu died. He asked many people to inquire, but there was no news of Lu Lingqi.

Now that Ganji's condition is worsening, Lan Tian realizes that he is really a failure, and being a farmer with peace of mind in this era is simply a luxury.

The three major tragedies in life: resentment and hatred, separation of love, and not being able to get what one wants, he has now accounted for two of the three, and the idea of ​​living in the world, like fishing for a moon in water, was ruthlessly crushed by reality.

"Mr. Hua, I will try my best to find it. Is there any other way for you here?" Lan Tian asked again.

"I can only try my best, but if your father doesn't have a good hand to heal, there will not be much time left..." The doctor said with a sigh.

"Brother, Dad asked you to come in..." Gan Qian called from inside the house.

"Here we come..."

Lan Tian walked to Ganji's sick bed. Due to long-term bed rest and poor appetite, Ganji is now very emaciated.

Ganji lay on the couch and said slowly: "Tian... Er... I have something... I'm sorry..."

"Father, you have been very kind to me, talk less and rest more." Lan Tian comforted.

Gan Ji shook his head and said: "I know my body well, Miss Lu was the one who let her go, I'm afraid you and Qian'er will be in trouble.

She is actually a good girl, and I don't know if she is married now, but the adoptive father is up to you, so don't hold grudges against me...cough cough..."

"I won't..." Lan Tian knelt directly in front of the couch, tears dripping from his eyes onto the quilt.

Chapter 40 Gao Shun Recognizes the Lord

Lan Tian is a very strong person, and this is the first time he has cried in grief like this.

Crying can vent emotions very well, but it is also mixed with unwillingness and powerlessness.

Seeing that Lantian was crying, Ganji stretched out his hand from the quilt, stroked Lantian's forehead and said, "Yifu has no skills, so I can only entrust Qian'er to you. Although you are not real siblings, you are better than real sisters." Brother, Qianer..."

"Father..." Gan Qian had been crying until she heard Gan Ji's call, and she also knelt down.

"Qian'er, you have to listen to Tian'er from now on, I am relieved to have him protecting you..." Ganji said to his daughter again.

Gan Qian wiped away her tears, "Father, don't let your imagination run wild. After taking the doctor's medicine, you will recover soon. My daughter hasn't fulfilled your filial piety yet."

Ganji smiled wryly and said, "It's a pity, otherwise, our father and son would have died a few years ago, and Tian'er let me live the happiest years of my life. It's worth it..."

"Father, stop talking..." Lan Tian wept.

"Tian'er, what Xuande said is correct, your shelter can't stop all swords and swords, if you want to avoid being bitten by dogs, you still need to have a stick in your hand..." Ganji sighed.

Lan Tian nodded and agreed, "I've already planned to join my brother-in-law's camp, and try my best to protect my sister, so that I won't let her suffer from being displaced..."

Ganji nodded in satisfaction after hearing this assurance.

The two siblings in the house were crying, and the doctor was shaking his head in the courtyard. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. In this chaotic world, there is a handful of loess after death, and there are children crying to see them off. This life is not in vain.

After Cao Cao returned to Xudu, the investigation of the population in Xiapi city had ended, and the remaining generals still guarded the four gates of Xiapi tightly in order to prevent Lu Bu's remnants from making trouble.

A person in a hurry came to the backyard of an unremarkable house in the north of the city.

He was wandering beside the jujube tree, and suddenly stepped on the ground covered with dead leaves, and then the dead leaves slid aside, and a square-shaped cover was pushed up.

The man said to the person under the cover: "General, the census is over, now you can bring the young lady up."

The person who spoke was the plateau that was trapped in the camp. When he was cleaning up the water in the north of the city, he dug a few shelters here.

When Hou Cheng and others surrendered, Gao Shun took advantage of the chaos and took Lu Lingqi into the shelter to hide. It has been five full days now.

Gao Yuan brought Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi into the unowned dilapidated house in front, and asked someone to prepare some hot food and bring them over.

The news that Lu Bu and Chen Gong were defeated and all their soldiers would surrender to Cao Cao, Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi knew two days ago, Gao Shun can only obey his will to protect Lu Lingqi.

"What's the situation outside now? How many people do you have?" Gao Shun asked.

"In the two days since Xiapi City was broken, Cao's soldiers entered the city and looted in a bit of chaos. Now it has gradually calmed down, and the population inventory was also completed yesterday. At the beginning, we still built fewer shelters. At present, there are only ten people left in the trapped camp. Several people, Lieutenant General Xu Shuang heard that the general was 'missing' and led the crowd to surrender Cao's bandits..." Gao Yuan replied.

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate to say anything about the sanctuary, but the lord will force me to obey. I, Gao Shun, betrayed them. You go and call the brothers who are trapped in the camp."
