"General Qiyu, Cao Cao's troops and horses suddenly appeared outside the south gate, and General Song Luo ordered his subordinates to ask the general for reinforcements. ”

When Cao Hong ordered the army to attack the city fiercely, the reinforcements sent by Song Luo finally came to Cao Bao and hurriedly told the problems faced by the south gate.

"What? Cao Cao's soldiers and horses appeared outside the south gate?"

When Cao Bao first heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and his face became extremely ugly. "How did Cao Cao's soldiers and horses get to the south gate, did they use flying? Or did they pass through Ershi Mountain, what did Cao Xiong and Cao Bin do to eat, and this general gave them 10,000 soldiers and horses, can't they still hold the Ershi Mountain checkpoint? ”

Speaking of which, the biggest responsibility for the loss of the Ershi Mountain checkpoint lies with Cao Bao. Cao Bao knew the importance of the Ershi Mountain checkpoint, but he still sent someone of Cao Xiong's character to guard the pass, and besides, Cao Bao also knew Cao Xiong's character, so he specially sent Cao Bin to assist. Cao Bao thought that with Cao Bin's restraint, he would be able to restrain Cao Xiong's impulsive and irritable temperament. But who would have thought that Cao Xiong's original unbright head, after Cao Hong's ridicule and abuse, he was able to think of an idea and deceive Cao Bin, but in the end, Cao Xiong mistook his own life. Cao Bao still sent Cao Xiong to guard the pass even though he knew Cao Xiong's character, not so that the children of the Cao family could get the credit for repelling Cao Cao. From the perspective of individuals and families, Cao Bao's approach is correct, but from the perspective of Xuzhou's overall interests, Cao Bao's approach is naturally unforgivable. It's a pity that Tao Qian is old and weak, and his ambition is not there, and Xuzhou's military power is in the hands of Cao Bao. Now that this situation has ended, it can be said that Tao Qian is to blame.

Of course, Cao Bao would not think that it was his fault to send Cao Xiong to guard the pass. Although he knew that Cao Xiong's character was like this, who would have thought that he would be so muddy that he couldn't support the wall. can only blame Cao Bao and Cao Bin for their incompetence. With such advantageous conditions, it is naturally the fault of the two of them that they can't hold the level.

"Ding Chan, you immediately lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to support the South Gate. If the south gate is lost, you don't have to come back. With a calm face, Cao Bao sent an order to one of the lieutenants beside him.

"The last general commands!"

The general named Ding Chan shouted loudly, and then hurried out, ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and hurried towards the south gate. Although it is said that Ding Chan's heart has given Cao Bao's ancestors to the eighteen generations of ****. However, as a subordinate, he still had to obey orders. At the beginning, Cao Bao asked Cao Xiong to guard the pass, everyone knew what was going on, but they all advised openly and secretly, but Cao Bao insisted on going his own way, in order to dominate the power of Xuzhou, he was stunned and did not listen to the advice of the generals under his command. Let's let Cao Xiong go to guard the pass. Now, Cao Xiong has lost the level, but he wants them to wipe his buttocks, who can feel better.

……

Above the south gate of Pei County

Song Luo and less than a thousand Xuzhou soldiers were surrounded by soldiers led by Cao Hong and Xiahoudun. Xiahoudun had asked the soldiers to open the south gate, and Man Zhong led the rest of the soldiers into the city. Since then, the loss of the South Gate has been inevitable. The next thing is, naturally, to continue to attack the north gate. Open the north gate and take Pei County in one fell swoop.

"General Song Luo. Ben will be extremely optimistic about your abilities. Now Tao Qian is old, Cao Bao is extremely incompetent, if it weren't for his own selfishness, why would he lose the Ershi Mountain level. With General Song Luo's talent, if you can follow my lord, you will definitely be able to show your strengths and shine, I don't know if General Song Luo is willing to serve my lord, and I am willing to recommend General Song Luo to my lord. ”

Xiahoudun looked at Song Luo, who was already surrounded in front of him, and persuaded him step by step.

Song Luo has thick eyebrows and big ears, and his face is slightly dark, even if he has been surrounded by Xiahoudun and Cao Hong at this moment, his face does not show the slightest fear, but shows an unyielding look of stubbornness to the end. Xiahoudun sighed secretly in his heart, this person must be a loyal and unyielding person, and he would not surrender if he thought of it, but it was a pity that such a talent was born.

"How dare a certain general be so praised by a defeated army. ”

Song Luo replied calmly, and then continued: "Although I have never read the book of sages, I also know that loyal ministers are not two masters. Therefore, if the general is not valued, I hope the general will forgive me. ”

"Looking at General Song Luo's face, he knew that the general was a loyal man, not a half-hearted person. However, he couldn't bear to be such a talented general, but he failed to show his ambitions, so he ended up like this. Although he knew the general's intentions, he still couldn't help but persuade him, not to tarnish the general's righteousness, but to hope that the general would think twice. ”

"Needless to say!"

Song Luo waved his hand and interrupted Xiahoudun's intention to persuade him, "As a general, failing to hold the city is a violation of the general's duties and is already unjust; A certain would rather die than be such an unfaithful and unrighteous person. Although you and your father-in-law are on their own side, they are also very admired in their hearts. However, for the matter of Xuzhou, what your lord did was unwise. ”

"Ahh

Hearing Song Luo slandering Cao Cao, Cao Hong was immediately furious, spit out, and scolded angrily: "What a brave man, my lord is the master of Ming, how can you have the courage to bully like this." If it weren't for General Xiahou's intention to surrender to you, he would have killed you with a knife if he said this to you. ”

"General Zilian is slow! General Song Luo's words must have a reason, and listen to what he says. ”

Xiahoudun is not as good as Cao Hong, and he knows that a general needs to be familiar with military books, so he is also familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period. Now that Song Luo said this in such a situation, it must not be just to insult Cao Cao, otherwise, he would not have said it so tactfully.

"Thank you, General Xiahou!"

Song Luo saluted Xiahoudun with his fists, and then said loudly: "If you look at what your family master does, he must be a person with a ravine, and a small Yanzhou place can't satisfy his heart. However, this time Zhang Min's thief was not dead, and he became interested in seeing wealth, causing the battle between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, although the death of such villains is not a pity. However, your father-in-law was angry with the people of Xuzhou because of this incident, so that the people were resentful, which was not conducive to the reputation of your father-in-law. Therefore, I hope that the general can pass on a word to your lord for you, if you want to have great ambitions. Leave personal enmity behind and put the righteousness of the world first. So. in order to be invincible. The general of the defeated army has something to say, if the general feels that he does not like it. There is no need for rumors. ”

"What the general said is very true, and a certain self-will spread the word to the lord on behalf of the general. It's just that if the general thinks about it again and serves my lord, he can tell him this in person. Perhaps, my father-in-law will change his mind. ”

Regarding Song Luo's words, Xiahoudun naturally would not refute them. The practice of attacking and slaughtering the city will naturally be extremely detrimental to Cao Cao's reputation, as Cao Cao's loyal subordinate. However, Cao Cao had always been in a state of rage, and no matter how their subordinates persuaded Cao Cao, they had no choice but to give up persuasion. Now that Song Luo, as an enemy, he has said such a thing, although he said that he had the intention of planning for the people of Pei County, but he was really thinking about Cao Cao. Therefore, for Song Luo, Xiahou pays more attention to it.

"How can the general of the defeated army be like General Xiahou. I know that I can't escape death today, and I hope that the general can leave a name of loyalty to you, so thank you!"

Song Luo pulled out his long knife. Pointing to Xiahoudun, his actions have already shown his intentions.

"Alas!"

Xiahoudun sighed. I didn't continue to say anything more, and then I said anything more to surrender. That is really insulting Song Luo's character. Therefore, Xiahoudun's face was straight. He also pulled out a long knife and pointed it at Song Luo. Since Song Luo wants the name of all loyalty, Xiahoudun can only fulfill him and use his strongest strength, so that it is the best reward for Song Luo.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Xiahoudun and Song Luo shouted at the same time, and then the long knife slashed towards each other. Xiahoudun and Song Luo did not dodge, nor did they defend, it was completely a fight with all their strength, after this blow collided, only one person would survive, and there was no second way.

"Plop!"

After the battle, Xiahoudun turned his back to Song Luo and slowly withdrew his knife and stood up. And Song Luo's face showed a satisfied smile, and his body slowly fell, although he was still honored, this was Song Luo's choice.

Xiahou swept the remaining Xuzhou soldiers at the head of the city, and said loudly: "A certain person who respects General Song Luo as a person, you are all soldiers who have followed General Song Luo for a long time, and they are also benevolent and righteous people. Therefore, General Ben also hopes that you can serve my lord. Of course, if you don't want to, after this battle, General Ben can also let you go and never stop you. ”

After speaking, Xiahoudun said to the cronies and soldiers beside him: "General Song Luo is a person who is rarely admired by this general, you should bury General Song Luo, after this battle, this general should personally go to his grave to worship, don't be lazy, otherwise, this general will not be spared!"

"The subordinates have orders!"

The remaining less than a thousand Xuzhou soldiers are all soldiers who have followed Song Luo for some days, and they naturally admire Song Luo's personality very much. Originally, after Xiahoudun and Cao Hong attacked the city, they were going to fight to the death with Song Luo. However, Song Luo had already persuaded them that he, Song Luo, as a general, should live and die with the city. But these soldiers don't need to do this, they still have their families waiting for them, and they shouldn't do such a senseless act. Therefore, Song Luo told them that if they felt that Xiahoudun and Cao Hong could surrender, they would surrender; if they could not surrender, they would lay down their weapons from now on, go home and be a farmer with peace of mind, and live the rest of their lives safely.

Therefore, when these soldiers listened to Xiahoudun's words of burying Song Luo, these Xuzhou soldiers who respected Song Luo very much, saw that Xiahoudun valued his generals so much, and their hearts were extremely moved. Therefore, after several leading lieutenants looked at each other, they all knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "General Xiahou is noble, I will obey and be willing to surrender! I just hope that General Xiahou will allow me to wait for the battle to go to the general's grave to pay respects, it is enough!"

"This is inevitable, General Song Luo has loyal soldiers such as Er, if you want to come to General Song Luo's spring, you can also look at it!" Soldiers who can survive a battle can often become elite soldiers, and Xiahoudun is not satisfied.

"Report!"

Just when Xiahoudun was happy to subdue the thousand soldiers, a scout soldier rushed forward and said loudly: "General Qiqi, my subordinates have found that a group of soldiers and horses are marching here, about 20,000, and I ask the general to show me." ”

There is no need to think about it, these 20,000 soldiers and horses are naturally reinforcements sent by Cao Bao.

"Pass the order, all the generals should not speak out, and when the enemy army arrives, give this general a fight to the death!"

"No!"

It was enough time to capture the south gate of Pei County, and the reinforcements had only arrived, so it was naturally too late. It takes a quarter of an hour from the south of Peixian to the north of Peixian County, and it takes two quarters of an hour to go back and forth, and the soldiers are still traveling all the way. And 20,000 soldiers and horses, from the point of gathering soldiers and horses to the action of the army, it will take a lot of time, and it is normal to be a stick of incense later than expected. However, on the battlefield, being late for a minute and a second is fatal, not to mention being late for a stick of incense, which is enough to do a lot of things.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't it mean that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were attacking the city, why didn't there be any movement at all?" Ding Chan led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the south of the city, and when he was about to approach the city wall, he found that the south of the city was quiet and there was no sound at all. The soldiers at the head of the city stood majestically, and from time to time soldiers walked around, as if they were patrolling, and it didn't look like they were fighting.

What the hell is going on, is that the soldier falsely passing orders?

As soon as this thought arose, it was left behind by Ding Chan. There is no joke in the army, and no one dares to falsely pass on military orders, which is a capital crime.

Could it be that ...

"It's not good, the whole army is on alert!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Ahh

However, as soon as Ding Chan reacted, countless arrows fell around him, and screams rang out one after another. Obviously, the south of the city has long been captured by the enemy, and the reason why there is no sound is because the enemy army has set up an ambush to give them a head-on attack.

"Ah, damn it!"

Ding Chan scolded in a low voice, secretly angry in his heart. In fact, when he approached just now, when he saw that there was no movement around, he should have thought that the south of the city had been lost. However, because he felt that there were 5,000 soldiers and horses in the south of the city, and with the advantage of the city wall, he should not be lost in two quarters of an hour. Who would have thought that Cao Cao's soldiers were so fierce that they would take the south of the city in such a short time, so that he did not react and fell into an ambush by the enemy. Just looking at the situation just now, after a round of arrow raindown, his 20,000 soldiers and horses suffered at least a few thousand casualties.

"Defend, shield soldiers, come forward and defend!"

"Whew!"

A sharp arrow shot at Ding Chan, who kept shouting, but this arrow was shot by Xiahoudun with a strong bow. Approaching the battlefield, but he didn't even have the slightest sense of defense, such an incompetent general, how could Xiahoudun surrender. As the saying goes, shooting people first shoots horses, and capturing thieves first captures kings, Xiahoudun is naturally the first to solve the leading generals.

"Ahh

An arrow sealed his throat, and Ding Chan died without suspense under Xiahoudun's dark arrow.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

With a shout, from the surrounding houses, above the city, countless Cao Cao soldiers swarmed down, as if to drown all the less than 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers. (To be continued.) )
