Chapter 62: Everyone shows their abilities

Adou took a step back and broke free from Guo Huai's hand. He looked at Guo Huai with an incredible look on his face. He smiled and said, "Okay, Guo Huai, you think about it slowly. I will come to see you again tomorrow." Then Adou walked out and closed the prison door.

"What the hell did you do to me! Why can't my hands move anymore!"

"I have already pointed the acupoints on your shoulders, so now your arms can't move, but don't worry, your arms will naturally regain consciousness in two hours." A Dou said, walking out, leaving only Guo Huai staring at his arms blankly.

"I didn't expect that Liu Chan is also proficient in medicine..." Guo Huai sighed helplessly.

Adou walked out of the dim dungeon. At this time, except for Zhang Yi, who were waiting outside, even Cheng Wu came.

Cheng Wu greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to worship Cao Cao. The ministers around Luoyang are the most familiar, so let me guide you."

"Yeah." Adou nodded. Cheng Wu was an official in Luoyang and naturally became familiar with the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

"Cheng Wu, let's leave this matter to you! By the way, go and ask Guo Huai and tell him that I will go to worship Cao Cao tomorrow and let him come together."

"Guo Huai?" Cheng Wu was slightly stunned, his face full of confusion. He was not a smart person. He did not ask Adou, but nodded and retreated.

After Adou left, Cheng Wu immediately walked down the dungeon.

"Cough cough..." Guo Huai woke up, and Guo Huai looked up and saw Cheng Wu walking in.

"Cheng Wu, what are you doing?" Guo Huai said with disgust. In Guo Huai's opinion, if Cheng Wu hadn't turned against him in the face of the battle, how could Luoyang be lost? With this, Guo Huai hated Cheng Wu very much.

"General Guo Huai, now His Majesty has come to persuade you personally. I think you should surrender!"

"Don't think about it! What kind of person you, who is sought by the Lord, have come here to talk to me!" Guo Huai said with an angry look on his face.

Guo Huai's reaction was not beyond Cheng Wu's expectations at all. Cheng Wu sighed helplessly, and then said, "Tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will go to worship Cao Cao. Do you want to go together?"

"Me?" Guo Huai was stunned, and at the same time began to think about what he was selling in A Dou Hulu.

"If you go, go, you are afraid that you will not succeed. At worst, you will lose your life. I don't even want my life, but I am afraid of this!" Guo Huai curled his lips and said disdainfully.

Huaiyin, Cao's army camp.

Cao Shuang walked up to the big tent and came to Cao Zhen. Behind Cao Shuang, there was a general who was about the same age as Cao Shuang. The man was eight feet tall, had a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall nose, and a small beard on the corner of his mouth.

"Father..." Cao Shuang came over, pointed to the person next to him, and then spoke, "Father, this is my friend Wu Qiu Jian."

"Vanqiu Jian? I have heard of you, you are the Shangshulang!" Cao Zhen asked.

The surname "王国" is rare, so Cao Zhen thought about it slightly and thought of it.

"The General is the last general." Wu Qiu Jian replied respectfully.

At this time, Cao Shuang took a step forward and said, "Father, Yu Qiu Jian has just arrived with food and grass. However, the food and grass should have arrived yesterday, but it has only been here now, so it's half a day late."

"Yeah..." Cao Zhen raised his head and according to military law, he was late for escorting grain and grass. At the very least, he was scolded, and at the worst, he was beaten. If he encountered a boss looking for trouble, he could just use this as an excuse to kill the grain transport pipe.

Cao Zhen looked at Cao Shuang. Since Cao Shuang brought Wu Qiu Jian with him, he must have wanted to plead for Wu Qiu Jian.

Although this way of governing the military emphasizes strict military discipline and those who violate military discipline must be punished, this military law is nothing more than human nature. It only took half a day to transport grain and did not cause much harm, so even if Wu Qiu Jian was spared, it doesn't matter. Since his son pleaded for mercy, Cao Zhen still had to give some face.

"Wuqiu Jian, why are you late to transport grain?" Cao Zhen asked in an official voice.

"General, I suddenly encountered heavy rain on the road, blocking the road, so I came half a day late." Wu Qiu Jian replied.

"Well..." Cao Zhen pondered for a moment, then said, "It's not your fault that the rainstorm fell from the sky, blocking the road... I won't be punished this time, so I won't be given an example!"

"Thank you, General, but the last general came to ask the general to punish him."

"Yeah, didn't I say I'm sorry for your guilt?" Cao Zhen asked.

"General, the last general thinks that the general not only needs to punish the last general, but also needs to be severely punished!"

"Hard punishment? Wu Qiu Jian, what do you mean?" Cao Zhen asked in confusion.

"General, the last general has a plan to defeat Sun Quan!" Wu Qiu Jian said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the point, come quickly!"

"General, during the Battle of Red Cliff, Zhou Gongjing used a bitter plan. Why don't we use it now?"

"A bitter plan?" Cao Zhen's eyes lit up. With Cao Zhen's years of experience in leading troops, Cao Zhen immediately understood what he meant to come over to Wuqiu Jian.

"A good plan for bitter meat is a good plan, but if you don't have Qiu Jian, you will suffer a little bit of flesh and blood!" Cao Zhen asked.

"As long as you can defeat the enemy, what's the point of being so bitter!"

"Okay, Wuqiu Jian, if this plan can be accomplished, it will help me defeat Sun Quan, you Wuqiu Jian will be the first to achieve your contribution!"

On that day, Cao Zhen used the unfavorable transportation of grain from Wuqiu Jian. After half a day as an excuse, he wanted to deal with Wuqiu Jian in front of the whole camp. Wuqiu Jian explained in all kinds of ways, but Cao Zhen just refused to listen. In the end, Cao Zhen still beat Wuqiu Jian to 50 major boards, and also sued Wuqiu Jian's official position on the grounds that Wuqiu Jian did not want to repent, shirked responsibility, and formed a clique to make private contributions.

Outside Luoyang City.

In the eyes of many people, Adou is a very incredible thing. In the eyes of the public, these two sides are enemies and have been fighting for so many years. If Adou pulls Cao Cao's body out and whips the corpse, some people believe that if he says that he is serious, many people will find it absurd. Some people even think that Adou is going to play something else.

However, since the emperor spoke, no one dared to object. In short, what Adou said was to do, what he did there.

In front of Cao Cao's tomb, a large group of people stood in a mighty manner. Even when Cao Cao was buried that day, he did not have such momentum.

The soldiers were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers inside. In the middle, in addition to A Dou and some accompanying officials, many children of Luoyang's gentry were also invited to accompany A Dou. It is said that after A Dou worshiped and played Cao Cao, he also had to patrol Luoyang City, and these children of the gentry had to accompany him throughout the journey.

However, this is a great news for these invited families. Luoyang City has changed its master, and everyone wants to find an opportunity to curry favor with the new master as soon as possible, and patrolling Luoyang with A Dou is a god-given opportunity.

Guo Huai stood among the ministers, with a cold face, no words, and no small moves.

Today, Guo Huai was wearing neat casual clothes, his face was clean and he didn't have any torture instruments. Of course, all this was prepared by Adou for Guo Huai.

From the outside, Guo Huai is no different from other ministers, but in fact, Guo Huai's arms were lit by Adou again. At this time, Guo Huai's arms could not move at all.

On the left side of Guo Huai was Guan Xing, and on the right side was Zhang Bao. Huang Chong stood behind Guo Huai, surrounded by military generals, which made Guo Huai give up the idea of ​​finding fault and stood there quietly.

A Dou stood in front of Cao Cao's tombstone, carefully looked at the inscription. Then A Dou reached out to take the wine pot from the eunuch next to him, and slowly sprinkled the wine on the ground. Then, A Dou took another stick of incense from the side and placed it respectfully in the incense burner.

After doing all this, Adou looked back at Guo Huai, waved to signal Guo Huai to come over.

Guo Huai came close to him, Adou pointed to Cao Cao's tombstone, and then said, "You promoted him by Cao Cao, please give him a stick of incense!"

Guo Huai glanced at it and found that the fragrance was so fragrant. It was from the Western Regions. However, now that Guo Huai's arms were lit with acupoints, he could not burn incense at all.

After a while, Guo Huai blushed and said, "I can't move my arm."

"Haha, why did I forget it!" Adou smiled, reached out and patted Guo Huai's shoulder, and untied Guo Huai's acupoints.

All this was done very naturally, but from the eyes of the ministers in the distance, Adou just patted Guo Huai's shoulder with great relief.

"Hey, Guo Huai, look, since I took Luoyang, the person who came to guard Cao Cao's tomb has also run away. Look, there are weeds around here. If you have time, come and clean it up!" A Dou's voice was not loud, only Guo Huai could hear it.

Guo Huai didn't know what A Dou Hulu sold, but out of loyalty to Cao Cao, Guo Huai hesitated for a moment and said, "If you are willing to let me do it, then leave it to me!"

"Hahaha, okay, let me leave it to you Guo Huai!" A Dou's words were used with all his strength and everyone around him could hear them clearly.

In the distance, in the crowd.

"Hey, did you see that? Isn't that Guo Huai?"

"Well, it's not bad. It's Guo Huai. Why is he next to His Majesty? His Majesty even patted him on the shoulder!"

"Stupid, can't you tell me that Guo Huai has surrendered to His Majesty!"

"Is that so? Guo Huai surrendered? There was no news before!"

"Didn't you listen to what Your Majesty said just now? I must have given Guo Huai a big job. If Guo Huai didn't surrender, why did Your Majesty give Guo Huai an errand? Besides, did Your Majesty pat Guo Huai on the shoulder just now? You and I have been honored by this! It can be seen that Your Majesty respects Guo Huai very much!" The man's tone was a little jealous.

"Well, what's right! Guo Huai was tough before, but he has surrendered now!"

"What do you know? This is the general trend. Look at the current situation. Wei State is almost out of control. The big ship of Wei State is about to sink. Why are those ministers drowning together on it?"

The discussions of several ministers quickly spread among the crowd, and the content of this discussion was also captured by some people who were interested.

Various speculations are circulating among this group of people, but there is one thing that everyone has a consensus, that is, Guo Huai has surrendered!

Soon, news of Guo Huai's surrender spread throughout Luoyang City.

Since Sima Yi withdrew from Xiangyang, Lu Xun immediately occupied the Xiangfan line. Then, did Sun Quan take some people from Jiaozhou and Jingnan and attack Jiangxia. Jiangxia only had 500 defenders, and it was an isolated city. He immediately chose not to stand and surrender, and Shunquan successfully took back Jiangxia.

In Jiangxia and Nanyang, the Wu army won both victories, but in the east, Sun Quan led his troops, he had not taken any land. Now he is still in the strife near Huaiyin.

Sun Quan was already very anxious. Four groups of people attacked Cao Wei, the Han army at least captured Wuguan, and Lu Xun also captured Xiangyang, but he had no results. In this comparison, Sun Quan suddenly felt that he was not as good as Adou and Lu Xun, which was unbearable to Sun Quan, who was extremely competitive.

So Sun Quan launched several attacks on Cao Zhen, but facing the Wei army's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Qingzhou soldiers' elite soldiers, the Jiangdong Army did not get any benefits. After several irrelevant minor defeats, Sun Quan also realized that he was too anxious.

Eastern Wu Military Camp.

Sun Hao hurried in, "Your Majesty, there is a general named Wuqiu Jian outside."

"General Wei? Is he an envoy sent by Cao Zhen?" Sun Quan asked.

"Your Majesty, not an envoy, he said he was here to surrender to your Majesty."

"Surrender to me? Why?" Sun Quan asked in confusion. Since the war started, although some Wei generals surrendered, they all surrendered after being captured by Sun Quan. It was the first one who came to surrender like this.

"Your Majesty, I have asked, this is the case. Wu Qiu Jian escorted food and grass to Huaiyin, but because of heavy rain and the road was blocked, it was half a day late. Cao Zhen beat Wu Qiu Jian for fifty boards and even removed Wu Qiu Jian's official position. Wu Qiu Jian was angry and came to surrender to us." Sun Hao replied.

"Well, what position did this Wu Qiu Jian hold when he was in Cao's camp?"

"By Your Majesty, Wu Qiu Jian was once the Secretary of the House."

"Shangshulang, it's not a young man, please bring me to see me!"

After a while, Wu Qiujian was brought up. At this time, Wu Qiujian had just been beaten for fifty days and was still twisting and twisting when walking.
