Xu Shu's mother was "invited" to Xudu by Cao Cao, and she was depressed and complained to Mr. Shuijing. The two were chatting, and suddenly heard the bell ringing, and a little boy hurriedly ran in, and was about to speak, when Shui Jing raised his head and said happily: "Yo, the guest has arrived!"
Xu Shu and Mr. Shui Jing hurriedly stood up to greet them, and saw Guan Yu stroking his beautiful hair and striding in. Before Guan Yu could salute, he saw Xu Shu at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he shouted happily: "Strategist, you are really here, Mr. Kong Ming is really like a god!"
Mr. Shui Jing smiled slightly and asked, "Second General, what is the matter with you coming this time?"
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair with his hand and said proudly: "I was ordered by my brother and Wolong to ask the Yuan Zhijun Division to hurry back to Xinye." There was fraud in the original letter, Mr. Xu must not go to Xuchang. I have other tasks to do, and I have to leave quickly, without delay. ”
Hearing this, Shui Jing asked, "How many days has Kong Ming been here?" Guan Yu replied, "It's been two days." ”
Shui Jing turned his head to Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi, you have to set off quickly." In less than ten days, your mother will be in Shinno. What I originally wanted to tell you, I don't need to say it now, because Zhuge Liang has already given you advice, and his plan is estimated to be better than mine. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the second general. Guan Yu listened, just laughed and said nothing.
Xu Shu was suspicious, but he didn't have much energy, so he had to say goodbye to Shui Jing and Huang Cui, and set off with Guan Yu. On the way, Guan Yu said: "Strategist, you just go back the same way, I still have Wolong's military order with me, so I won't accompany you." ”
After speaking, Guan Yu galloped towards the Bowang camp. Xu Shu looked at Guan Yu's distant back, and under the sun, the cold glow of the Qinglong Knife was particularly dazzling.
Mother Xu was deceived by Cao Cao into going to Xudu, and these days, Cheng Yu came to visit from time to time. But Cheng Yu has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, since he got Xu's mother's handwriting, he has not appeared for more than ten days, and Xu's mother's door is becoming more and more deserted.
One evening, Xu's mother was meditating after dinner, and suddenly a sergeant sent a letter and a bag of clothes, saying that it was sent by Lord Cheng Yu, and he had something to say in person. Mother Xu asked him to come in, and the person who came respectfully handed over the letter and clothes, and then stepped aside.
Mother Xu sat in the hall and looked at this sergeant with his head held high, his body burly, his spirits full of energy, and his heroic spirit! Mother Xu couldn't help but look at Cheng Yu's subordinates with admiration. Mother Xu asked Cheng Yu about his current situation, and then opened the letter to read. After reading it, she looked at the sergeant again, nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "Doctor Cheng invited me to his house to relax, is there a car waiting outside? ”
The sergeant replied, "The vehicle is ready, waiting at the door, and Mrs. Tai is ready to leave at any time." Mother Xu nodded, gave a few words to the maid, and then asked the sergeant to lead the way and go out to board the car. The sergeant whipped his horse, and the carriage sped away.
In the car, Xu's mother was secretly vigilant and paid attention to the situation outside. She noticed that the carriage had made a few turns in the street, avoiding the bustling market and heading directly towards the west gate of Xucheng. Xu Mu was silent, and when the carriage drove to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city stepped forward to interrogate. The sergeant took an arrow from the cart and shook it, and the carriage went out of the city gate and onto the avenue.
Mother Xu knew that she had left Xuchang, but she remained vigilant and watched the whereabouts of the carriage with bated breath. At the time of the first shift, the carriage came to a bridge with three wagons parked beside the bridge, loaded with half a cart of cloth and medicinal herbs. Under the wagons and at the head of the bridge sat some merchant-like people. As the carriage approached, the coachman whipped three times and whistled. When the people on the ground heard this, they immediately stood up and galloped to the side of the carriage, and surrounded them in unison, "Welcome to the general!"
The sergeant asked, "Are you ready?" and the people replied, "It's all ready, we've been waiting here for a long time, and this is the Bali Bridge." With that, the carriage had already driven to the bridge and stopped. The sergeant jumped out of the car, lifted the curtain and bowed down and said, "Please change the car and move forward." "It turned out that this sergeant turned out to be Zhao Yun! In Zhuge Liang's strategy, he secretly bought off the soldiers guarding the city and took Mother Xu!
Zhao Yun immediately ordered the soldiers to consolidate the goods into a car, then took off their military uniforms, bundled them together with the Cao Jun clothes hidden in the car, tied them to a boulder and sank them under the bridge. Then, Zhao Yun took his subordinates and took two cars, one of which carried Xu's mother, and was personally escorted by Zhao Yun. The other car, carrying soldiers disguised as merchants, galloped towards Xinye day and night. At this time, the moonlight was as bright as day, and Zhao Yun ordered to rush overnight, and after only one day and one night, they had already passed Xiangcheng.
Cheng Yu thought that Xu's mother was already in his hands, and he was quite comfortable with it, so he stopped visiting often, and just waited for Xu Shu to throw himself into the net. However, as the days passed, Xu Shu did not appear for a long time. On this day, Cheng Yu suddenly had doubts at home, counting the time, Xu's mother should have arrived in Xudu, but there has been no news so far, and even the person sent to greet him has not returned. He couldn't help but worry, could it be that someone in Xinye had seen through his plan?
Cheng Yu decided to go to Xu's mother's residence to find out. He came to Xu's mother's door full of doubts. The porter told him that a sergeant came to pick up Xu's mother yesterday and has not returned. Cheng Yu asked eagerly, "Who sent someone to pick it up?" The porter replied, "It's you, my lord." ”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he chuckled in his heart and said in astonishment: "Strange! I am obviously here at the moment, and I have not sent anyone to greet me, why don't you report to me?" The porter said puzzledly: "Since it is the person you sent, why do you need to report it to me? Presumably, Mrs. Tai is still in your mansion." ”
Cheng Yu was furious when he heard this, but he knew that it was useless to talk to the porter, so he hurriedly asked about the clothes and characteristics of the carriage and horse that greeted the sergeant. After listening to the porter's description, Cheng Yu only felt a tightness in his chest, and he was so angry that he almost fainted to the ground. Cheng Yu hurriedly came to report all this to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and immediately ordered Cao Hong and Le Jin, two generals, to lead eight hundred cavalry and chase after Xu Mu and the unknown sergeant. Cao Cao ordered that Xu Mu and the sergeant must be brought back, and if they did not come back, they would be cut down directly, and the head should be brought back.
Cao Hong and Le Jin received the order and quickly ordered their troops to gallop and chase after Xu's mother. At this time, Xu's mother had already passed Xiangcheng, and Cao and Le Er would deduce that Xu's mother was riding in a vehicle, and they were riding horses, although they were separated by a day and a night, but as long as they did not rest, they should be able to catch up soon. Therefore, Cao Hongle Jin also worked day and night, driving troops to chase after him.
Zhao Yun and the others passed through many checkpoints along the way, and they all used gold to open the way, skillfully hiding the defenders of the checkpoints. On this day, they were about to leave the boundary of Ye County, and Zhao Yun's heart settled down a little. However, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he saw dust in the distance, and it seemed that a large group of men and horses were rapidly approaching.
Zhao Yun immediately realized that this was the chasing soldier coming, and he hurriedly whipped the car to urge the car. The wheels spun fast and rolled forward. After driving a few more miles, they had already left Ye County. Looking back again, I saw that the banner covered the sky, and thousands of cavalry turned over the silver hooves, indeed chasing after them, only about half a mile away from them, and they would soon catch up.
Zhao Yun's martial arts are world-famous, and he is not afraid of Cao Jun's chasing soldiers at all, but he is worried that Xu Mu will feel panicked in the car and it is inconvenient to engage the pursuers. What's more, he doesn't have a weapon in his hand now, how can he resist the pursuing soldiers? Zhao Yun hesitated a little in his heart. The shouts behind shook the sky, and Cao Jun was already surging like a landslide. Zhao Yun could only lean over the edge of the car, whipping desperately, and running as hard as he could.
After turning a hillside, the shouts behind and the neighing of horses got closer and closer, shouting to let the vehicles in front slow down, shouting not to let Xu Mu go, and the sound shook the mountain to crack.
Just after the hillside, and then a forest, suddenly a group of men and horses blocked the way. Zhao Yun was so frightened that he couldn't stop, so he could only force his way through. But he heard someone shouting immediately: "Zilong, why are you so late?" Zhao Yun wiped his sweat and looked back, it turned out to be Guan Guan Yu, and he was overjoyed. Just as he wanted to answer, Guan Yu had already rushed forward to meet Cao Bing on horseback.
Cao Bing swept over like a thunderbolt, and saw the two cars speeding away, knowing that Xu Mu must be among them. They chased for a long time, and they were about to catch up, but when they turned the hill, the vehicle in front of them suddenly disappeared without a trace. When they turned around the woods and looked up sharply, they saw flags fluttering, murderous, and five hundred school swordsmen lined up, waiting for the battle.
In front of the team, a person rode a red rabbit chasing the wind horse, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, majestic, it was the Hanshou Pavilion Hou Guan Yu, he led the troops here, blocking Cao Bing's way.
Guan Yu stationed on the horse and crossed the knife, and he had already seen who it would be. He bowed down on horseback and shouted, "Two generals, don't come to harm?" Cao Hong and Le Jin rode to the front, and when they saw that it was Guan Yu, they were taken aback at the same time, and hurriedly whipped to stop the three armies. The sergeants had already seen Guan Yu and retreated one after another, and the rear team came like a tide, but they couldn't stop it, and many people were trampled to the ground immediately.
Cao Hong and Le Jin didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly reined in the horses, and saluted Guan Yu first. Guan Yu smiled and said, "I've been waiting here for a long time, please ask the two generals to withdraw their troops and stop chasing after them." When I went back to tell the prime minister, I said that Guan Yu asked him today, just like he couldn't bear to let me lose my brotherly love back then, and now please don't cut off his mother-son love for Xu Shu. That's all I have to say, there will be a period later, and I will leave!"
After speaking, Guan Yu pointed the Qinglong Glaive Knife behind him, and the five hundred school swordsmen immediately turned around and went to chase after the vehicle that Zhao Yun and Xu Mu were riding. And Guan Yu slapped the horse with a knife and calmly broke the back for them. Cao Hong and Le Jin knew that they were not Guan Yu's opponents, so they could only watch his back in the distance, his horsetail fluttering, and the soldiers in front of him were like clouds surrounding the vehicle that Xu Mu was riding and speeding away.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and their faces changed. In the end, he could only sigh, reorganize the wounded men and horses, collect the troops and report back to Cao Cao, and plead guilty.
