On the north bank of Huai River, Shangcaicheng.

On the tower, two young nobles were looking in the direction of Shouchun.

The person standing with his hands behind his back is Cao Pi.

The person standing behind him dressed as a general is Cao Cao's adopted son Cao Zhen.

He was originally the son of Qin Yilu. After being adopted by Cao Cao, he was renamed Cao Zhen.

Because he was adopted by Mrs. Bian since he was a child, he was most familiar with Cao Pi, and became Cao Pi's confidant when he became an adult.

This time Cao Pi came to greet his bride, Mrs. Bian specially ordered Cao Zhen to accompany him as Cao Pi's escort.

"Shouchun is only forty miles away from Shangcai. According to the agreed date, Lu Bu should have sent his wife and daughter there long ago."

"Now it's been a whole day, brother, could it be that Lu Bu regretted it?"

A bit of worry appeared on Cao Zhen's face.

But Cao Pi snorted coldly and said with disdain:

"Yuan Tan was blocked by his filial uncle in Xuzhou, and water far away could not quench his thirst nearby."

"If Lu Bu wants to save the siege, he can only ask my Cao family for help."

"This time he had no choice, and he didn't dare to go back on his word."

Cao Zhen calmed down a little, but there was still a look of worry on his face.

"It's just that Liu Bei's 70,000 troops surrounded Shouchun. Even if Lu Bu didn't dare to repeat the attack, he was afraid that he would not be able to break out and successfully send his wife and daughter out."

Hearing this, Cao Pi frowned slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

But then he waved his hand and sneered:

"Zi Dan, you underestimate Lu Bu and overestimate that big-eared thief."

"Shouchun is the largest city in Huainan. The big-eared thieves want to surround Shouchun City with water. How can they complete it in a day or two?"

"There must be a gap between the surrounding camps for Lu Bu to enter and exit."

"With my father-in-law's strength, if he just escorted his wife and daughter to break through the siege, it would be no problem."

Cao Pi was disgusted and disdainful of Lu Bu's reputation, but he still had no doubts about Lu Bu's martial arts strength.

"That's right, Lu Bu is the best in the world in martial arts. If he wants to break through, how can the big-eared thieves stop him?"

Cao Zhen nodded slightly, then approached Cao Pi, lowered his voice and laughed:

"By marrying the Lu family's daughter, the elder brother had the support of foreign aid from Lu Bu."

"Even though the eldest brother is the eldest son and is deeply loved by his father, everyone believes that he is the heir apparent of our Cao family."

"But as long as the elder brother can make good use of Lu Bu's foreign aid, it is still unclear who will be the heir apparent of the Cao family in the future."

Cao Pi glanced sideways at his adopted brother, with some approval in his eyes.

Cao Zhen was not present at the conspiracy between him and Mrs. Bian that day, and his mother and son never revealed it to Cao Zhen.

However, Cao Zhen was able to see from this marriage that Having gained this level of knowledge, it can be seen that his qualifications are quite good.

Having such a sworn brother as a confidant will undoubtedly be a boost to his future efforts to seek a position.

"My eldest brother is just like me, my mother is just a concubine"

"Why is it that just because he was lucky enough to be adopted by Mrs. Ding, he became the eldest son and put pressure on me!"

"I refused to accept it, so I wanted to fight with him!"

Cao Pi clenched his fists and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him, and Yu Jin boarded the tower.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhen looked at each other, and immediately fell silent, no longer talking in private.

After all, Yu Jin belongs to Cao Cao. A confidant, but not his confidant.

How could such a confidential matter related to the struggle for the throne be allowed to be heard by an outsider like Yu Jin?

"Mr. Zihuan, the scouts have just sent back the news that a group of people is coming towards me from Shangcai along the north bank of the Huai River."

"According to the report from the scouts, this group of troops were the armor of Lu Bu's army, and they should have arrived to see off his bride."

Yu Jin reported the good news to Cao Pi with a smile on his face.

Cao Zhen was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"The elder brother was really good at predicting events. As expected, Lu Bu did not dare to go back on his word and sent his wife and daughter as promised."

Cao Pi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corner of his mouth raised a little proudly.

Then he waved his hand and said with a smile:

"General Yu, ask your troops to open the city gates, lower the drawbridge, and prepare to welcome my mother-in-law and fiancée into the city.."

"Zidan, the reception banquet is ready, I can't neglect mother and daughter."

Yu Jin and Cao Zhen both accepted the order.

Soon, the city gate was opened and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

Yu Jin personally led a team of people and stood waiting at the city gate.

Cao Pi stood on the city tower, looking expectantly towards the east. Looking in the direction of the avenue.

It was dusk.

The dust was flying on the avenue, and a group of people came slowly.

Cao Pi's spirit was lifted, and he looked carefully.

Looking at the armor and flags, it turned out to be the uniforms of Lu Bu's army. The number was about There were two to three thousand people.

Among the teams, there was also a carriage.

No need to guess, the people sitting in the carriage must be Yan's mother and daughter.

"Congratulations, brother, for bringing this beauty back home."

"Yudi heard that Lu Bu's daughter was so cold and beautiful that she was a rare beauty."

"For my brother to marry such a beautiful woman, he is considered a hero and a beauty."

Cao Zhen complimented with a smile.

Cao Pi smiled but said nothing, the spring breeze was full of pride on his face.

The procession of seeing off the bride was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, they were approaching the city.

Cao Pi subconsciously arranged his clothes, as if he wanted to meet for the first time. Leave a good impression on your fiancée

"My brother is handsome and handsome. When my future sister-in-law meets him, she will naturally fall in love with him at first sight."

Cao Zhen guessed Cao Pi's thoughts, and flattered him with a smile.

Cao Pi listened and took advantage of it, with a proud smile on his lips.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to see whether his fiancée was as good as Cao Zhen thought. Said she was a rare beauty in the world. In front of the city gate,

Yu Jin stepped forward on his horse and said loudly:

"I am serving General Yu Jin under the command of Duke Cao. Are they from Marquis Wen?"

The men and horses seeing off the bride stopped in front of the city gate.

He carried the iron halberd and turned his horse forward slowly, arriving in front of Yu Jin.

"It turns out to be General Yu. Are you the only one here to welcome the bride?"

The general didn't say his name. Instead, he looked up at the top of the city.

Yu Jin turned back and pointed to the top of the city and said:

"In order to show our sincerity, my family, Sikong, specially ordered us, Mr. Pi, to come to Shangcai in person to greet Mrs. Yan and Miss Lu."

"My Mr. Pi has prepared a reception banquet to welcome his wife and young lady."

Hearing that Cao Pi was actually there, a gleam flashed in the general's eyes.

He shot his gaze towards the tower and found Cao Pi's location.

The look in his eyes was as if a tiger had discovered its prey, revealing a faint hint of excitement.

"He even sent Mr. Cao to greet him personally. It seems that Mr. Cao really attaches great importance to this marriage."

The general nodded slightly and said:

"In this case, let's go into the city."

As he spoke, the general waved his hand, sent his relatives and horses behind him, and continued towards the city gate.

Yu Jin immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile:

"By the way, I haven't asked my brother for his name yet."

The general clenched his iron halberd quietly and said coldly:

"Below, Donglai Taishi Ci is also."

Tai Shi Ci?

Yu Jin searched for this name in his mind, and a bit of confusion flashed in his eyes.

It seems that there is no such a number one person under Lu Bu's command.

"Taishi Ci of Donglai, Taishi Ci of Donglai..."

Yu Jin's thoughts were racing, and his expression suddenly changed.

Wasn't Taishi Ci a subordinate of Liu Yao, who took refuge with Liu Bei when Liu Bei was pacifying Jiangdong?

"Liu Bei's generals!"

"You are Liu Bei's general!"

Yu Jin suddenly reacted, screamed, and was about to draw his sword.

It was too late.

Taishi Ci struck first, and the iron halberd struck down like lightning.

"Click!"

There was a muffled sound.

Before Yu Jin's sword was unsheathed, the head had already fallen to the ground. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This scene.

The Cao Pi brothers on the top of the city saw it clearly.

Cao Pi had a smile on his face. It disappeared instantly and turned into endless astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.

Cao Zhen was even more shocked and dumbfounded, and his whole body froze in place.

Lu Bu's generals suddenly killed Yu Jin?

Are they crazy?

The two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhen never expected that such a dramatic and terrifying scene would occur.

The two brothers were stunned on the spot, at a loss for a moment.

"It seems I was lucky enough to bump into Cao Cao's son"

"Military advisor, thank you for giving me a great service!"

Tai Shi Ci sneered, moved his blood halberd, and shouted:

"The whole army listens to the order and follows me into Shangcai to capture the son of the Cao thief alive!"

Tai Shi Ci took the lead, like a black wind, stepping across the suspension bridge and crashing into the wide-open city gate.

At the city gate, Cao Jun, who was also shocked and stunned, finally reacted and hurriedly tried to close the city gate.

It was too late.[]

Taishi Ci raised his halberd and chopped down the seven or eight Cao soldiers who were trying to close the door like grass.

Unstoppable along the way, Taishi Ci charged into Shangcai City like a tiger and a bear.

Behind him, three thousand Liu Jun soldiers disguised as Lu Jun made a roar and poured into the city gate like a tide.

Cao's army was immediately in chaos.

On the tower.

Cao Pi finally came to his senses, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in panic:

"Zidan, what's going on, what should we do?"

Cao Zhen was much calmer. He rolled his eyes and said anxiously:

"Foolish brother doesn’t understand, is Lu Bu crazy? He actually ordered his troops to attack us."

"Brother, we can't hold Shangcaicheng anymore, evacuate with me quickly!"

Only then did Cao Pi react. He hurriedly got on his horse and tried to escape from the east gate.

Just when he was struggling to climb onto the horse, the screams suddenly broke out.

Taishi Ci had already mounted his horse and dragged his halberd, charging towards him like a god of murder. Climbing the city wall.

Hundreds of Liu troops followed closely behind, swarming up the city wall, and slashed at the panicked Cao Jun.

The killing began, and the city was stained with blood...

In the evening, the killing finally ended.

Thousands of people went to Cai Cai Cao's army was killed and blood flowed into rivers, with countless casualties. Cao Pi, whose face was ashen, was forced to kneel in front of Taishi Ci.

"'I am Cao Pi, the son of Duke Cao. How dare you be rude to me!"

"Who are you? Tell me your name."

"Your lord Lu Bu obviously wants to marry my father, why do you want to attack me on Shangcai?"

"Is Lu Bu crazy? Doesn't he want my father to help him solve the siege of Shouchun?"

At this time, Cao Pi was still in the dark, struggling desperately and cursing angrily.

Taishi Ci kicked him over and said coldly:

"Cao Pi, open your eyes and see clearly, I am not one of Lu Bu’s three-named servants."

"I am Tai Shici of Donglai, a general under Duke Xuande!"

Cao Pi, who fell to the ground, was stunned for a moment.

Taishi Ci?

Liu Bei's general?

At this moment, Cao Pi thought he was angry and hallucinating.

"Are you Liu Bei's general?"

"You, this, but..."

Cao Pi's eyes were wide open, he was frightened and confused, and his words were incoherent. Taishi Ci had a sarcastic look on his face and sneered:

"To tell you the truth, my military advisor had already expected that Lu Bu would send his daughter to break out of the siege in an attempt to marry your father, Cao Cao."

"Lu Bu was ambushed by our lord, and his wife and daughter fell into the hands of my lord. He himself was betrayed by Chen Gong, and like a bereaved dog, he went to Xuzhou to seek refuge with Yuan Tan."

"My military advisor even expected that Cao Cao would send troops to Shangcai to support you, so he ordered me to pretend to be Lu Bu's troops and come to capture you!"

The truth came out.

Cao Pi was dumbstruck, and he sat slumped on the ground, with a look of shock and astonishment on his face.

"That Deng Mu was so clever and clever?"

"He could clearly see every move between his father and Lu Bu?"

"How can this be? (ok)"

"How could there be such an omniscient counselor in the world?"

"This is impossible..."

Cao Pi's voice was hoarse and he muttered to himself, as if he had encountered the weirdest thing in his life.

Taishi Ci was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, waved his hand and shouted:

"Take this guy back to Shouchun and leave it to the lord to deal with!"

Cao Pi was shocked and suddenly woke up.

Endless despair enveloped his whole body.

Guandu, Cao Jun's fortress.

Huge boulders kept rising into the sky, shooting toward the mountains outside the barrier.

Listening to the loud noise of the earth's collapse that day, and the collapse of the earth, Cao Cao had a proud sneer on his lips.

"The Thunderbolt Chariot presented by Liu Ziyang is truly a divine weapon."

"Yuan Shao's earth mountains are useless!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly. He was in a good mood and raised his head fiercely.Next glass of wine.

Guo Jiayi took a sip of wine and said with a smile:

"Yuan Shao's mountain was defeated, and the situation of our army in Guandu was turned from danger to safety."

"In this way, the lord can safely mobilize more than ten thousand troops to go south to help Lu Bu relieve the siege of Shouchun."

Cao Cao nodded slightly and asked with a smile:

"By this time, Pi'er should have picked up Lu Bu's wife and daughter and returned to Xudu, right?"

"As soon as there is news about Pi'er, he will immediately send more troops to Yu Jin and order him to go to Shouchun!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao raised the wine glass again and brought it to his mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, the tent curtain was lifted.

Cao Zhen stumbled into the tent and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.

"Report to the adoptive father!"

"Liu Bei's general Tai Shici pretended to be Lu Bu's general and led an army to raid Shangcai."

"My entire army was wiped out, and my second brother was captured alive because of Tai Shici!"

Cao Cao changed his face in shock, his figure suddenly swayed, and all the wine in the glass spilled on him.
