Chapter 444: Hostages on all sides
Something is going on above the city.
Yuan Yao returned to the mansion, and the battle damage in the past few days was also counted.
Yuan Yao looked at the number of dead people in his hand, and was in a very bad mood, and the idea of winning Cao Cao just now suddenly disappeared.
In addition to the Xuanjia Army and the 2,000-strong Po Cao Army that he had just received, there was not a single soldier and horse in his hands that was guaranteed to be more than 50 percent, which was enough to see the cruelty of the Lujiang siege battle.
Now there are 7,000 people left in the hand, and how many days can they last?
"Lord!" Fu Zhu walked in front of Yuan Yao and greeted Yuan Yao.
"Mr. Frustration, you have come just in time, the treatment of the wounded and the pacification of the people in the city must be taught to you, sir! And the weapons and ordnance of the broken Cao army! "Fu Zhu is now an all-round hero in Lujiang.
Fu Zhu walked in front of Yuan Yao and looked at Lu Bu who was standing on the side, this Lu Menghu finally chose to be a domestic cat.
Lu Bu secretly nodded to Fu Zhu, and Fu Zhu also returned the salute with his eyes.
"That's what Frustration should do!"
"I'm worried, how to fight this war tomorrow!" Yuan Yao knew that a move on his head of the city would inevitably anger Cao Cao, and it would probably be even more uncomfortable to attack the city tomorrow.
"My lord! Don't fight tomorrow's battle! He said with a smile.
"Don't fight?" Will this Cao Cao be so kind and don't have to fight?
"Lord, could it be that I forgot General Xiahou Chun, who is still a guest in our Lujiang!"
Yuan Yao patted his head, "Oops, how did I forget about this!" Yuan Yao was almost confused, he Yuan Yaoke had been thinking about using Xiahou Chun to threaten Cao Cao, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would play a generous game, so he stopped Yuan Yao.
But now it's time to put it off.
"With Xiahou Chun, this tomorrow is another day off!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.
……
"General Huang Yi, let's go to Lujiang like this?" Less than 100 miles away from the Lujiang River, a group of people were galloping on war horses.
"Or else?" A young general asked rhetorically.
"General, the lord let us stay on the ship!" The subordinate on the side said hesitantly.
"Humph! What is the fight, Brother Yao can eat, drink and enjoy on the shore, I want to be on the boat in the wind and rain! The young general said dissatisfied.
"General, this is against military law!"
"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal that I'll carry this scourge, the sky is falling and there are tall people staring, I don't need you!"
Seeing the young general's words like this, one by one naturally stopped talking.
This group of people is really Huang Yi and others who came down from the sea boat.
The life on this ship is not comparable to the shore, this Huang Yi has been on the ship for dozens of days, every day in the wind and rain, not only that, but also to suffer seasickness and the like.
He, Huang Yi, was also fed up, even if there was a letter from Yuan Yao saying that Huang Yi should stay on the sea, Huang Yi still got off the warship.
"Lujiang is ahead!" Huang Yi didn't know where to learn that Yuan Yao's camp was in Lujiang, so as soon as he came, Huang Yi went towards Lujiang, "When you arrive in Lujiang, Brother Yao will definitely praise me, and when the time comes, I will ask Brother Yao for money, or for beauty!" Huang Yi has already begun to imagine again.
"General, there's movement ahead!" Huang Yi was surrounded by the elite of Yu Linwei, and he reacted immediately as soon as there was movement in front of him.
"Movement?" Huang Yi was cautious at first, after all, they came from Hebei, and they were used to it, but soon Huang Yi shook his head: "I said Chenghu, you are too careful, this is Lujiang, where did Huainan come from!" ”
"No, General, there are really people ahead!" Cheng Hu pointed to the figure that was slowly coming over there and said.
"Even if it's someone, it should be their own!" Huang Yi thought that Yuan Yao should know that he was coming, so he specially sent someone to pick him up.
"General, let's hide for a while!"
"No, come with me to meet the people who came to greet us!" Huang Yi said with a smile.
"What people!" The people over there also discovered Huang Yi and his party.
"Take me to your lord!" Huang Yi said old-fashionedly.
"See our lord?" The group of people over there glanced at each other, they were scout camps, they were photographed out for reconnaissance, they thought they had also encountered the enemy's scout camp, but they didn't expect to get closer only to find that the clothes and armor on the people were luxurious, and there was no flag mark on their bodies, so they planned to ask first.
Who knew that as soon as these individuals came up, they said that they wanted to see the lord.
"My lord, how can you just see it!"
"Hmph, joke, what do I have to see your father-in-law, you go back and tell your father-in-law that I'm Huang Yi here!" Huang Yi said dissatisfiedly, it turned out that Brother Yao was not here to pick him up.
"Huang Yi?" The scout camp hesitated. Is there a young general of Huang Yi in their Yanzhou?
After discussing with each other, they planned to find someone to report it.
"Dare to ask what position the general holds?"
"Huh? Don't even know me? How do you become a soldier! Huang Yi said proudly: "I am your lord's brother-in-law." ”
"Brother-in-law?" The scout camp looked strange, their lords were almost forty or fifty years old, he didn't know if he had a sister, and even if he did, he was about fifty, and the person in front of him was only one or twenty years old.
"Why don't you believe me?" Huang Yi said arrogantly. "Don't dare!" The more proud Huang Yi became, the more the scout battalion did not dare to be presumptuous, for fear that this was really a high-ranking official in the army.
"Hmph, there are still people in the Huainan army who don't know me Huang Yi! You say it's new! ”
"Huainan Army? New to the new arrival? "The scout battalion was just about to leave, and the pace of the report suddenly stopped." You say you are a general of the Huainan Army? He asked again and again,
"Why, haven't you heard of my General Huang Yi's prestige in the army?"
"Hahaha, God really wants to take care of me, I've heard, I've heard, you don't want to see our master, I'll send you to see our master, come on, take them down for me!" The leader of the scout camp laughed.
"I see who dares!" Huang Yi said loudly. "Do you want to die? Don't you know who I am? ”
"Know! The general of the Huainan Army, Yuan Yao's brother-in-law! ”
"You know how to be so disrespectful to me?"
"Haha, do you know who we are?"
"Who?"
"The scout camp under Prime Minister Cao Cheng of the Great Han!"
"Poof!"
……
In Cao Ying, Cao Cao slowly woke up from his coma.
"How's the war going?" As soon as Cao Cao woke up, the first thing he did was to care about the battle at the head of the city: "My subordinates have already let the drums beat gold!" ”
"Hey!" Cao Cao sighed, he knew that he would have to delay for another day.
"What about Dian Wei and Xu Huang and Zhang Jin?"
"Dian Wei has failed to live up to the trust of the lord, and please punish the lord!" Dian Wei stepped into the tent first and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.
Guo Jia on the side told Cao Cao what happened, Zhang Jin died in battle, Xu Huang was seriously injured, and Dian Wei was better.
There are also the more than 2,000 armless subordinates that Yuan Yao put back.
"Yuan Yao'er, you are really vicious!" The heavy armor foot soldiers were used on the city, this Yuan Yao was the first time in the world, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao was distressed to death, these are all first-class soldiers, and now they are gone.
"It's okay if it's gone, it's okay if it's gone!" Cao Cao comforted himself in the opposite direction, because in this way, he would be able to eat less people and hold on for a day or two more.
The faint voice of "Cao Cao's old thief" outside the tent.
"What a sound is this!"
"Lord, this is!"
"There is no voice, where is the voice, lord, you heard it wrong!" Guo Jia on the side hurriedly stopped.
"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned: "Evil is here to help me up!" If there were only one or two voices in that voice, Cao Cao might have heard it wrong, but this was shouting all the time, how could he hear it wrong.
Dian Wei paid Cao Cao up, and Cao Cao slowly walked out of the camp.
"Cao Cao'er, you have lacked calcium since you were a child, and you have lacked love when you grow up, grandma doesn't hurt, and uncle doesn't love you. The left side of the face is under-pumped, and the right side of the face is under-kicked. The donkey saw the donkey kicking, and the pig saw the pig stepping on the "Lujiang city head, every half an hour, those broken Cao troops had to shout above the city head, and the two thousand people were covered for nearly twelve hours.
Cao Cao's face became darker and darker, and he clutched his chest suddenly, "Yuan Yao Xiao'er, Yuan Yao Xiao'er, Yuan Yao Xiao'er!" Burst! Another mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Where's the healer, where's the healer!" All the Cao Jun panicked.
Soon the doctor came, took Cao Cao's pulse, and said to everyone, "The prime minister is fine, but he is just a little tired!" ”
"It's okay to vomit blood? You quack! Dian Wei was more emotional, and he was so scared that the doctor didn't want it.
"It's really fine!" It turned out that Cao Cao vomited blood just now but because of a blessing in disguise, and he vomited out the blood that had accumulated in his chest, but he was much more comfortable.
"Evil, let him go!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said.
"If Yuan Yao's children are not removed, I can't sleep at night, and I can't enjoy food!" Cao Cao still has a deep grudge.
"Pass my military orders. Regardless of the cost, regardless of the loss, the whole army will attack the city, and I want his Lujiang City to become a dead city completely! ”
Cao's army began to attack the city again.
This time, Cao Cao actually played the war drums in person to cheer up the soldiers under his command.
"Cao Cao's old thief really destroyed my thief's heart and didn't die"! Yuan Yao was also above the city and watched the movement of Cao Cao's army below.
"Hmph, I'm really not with you today! Shout to me, I want to see Cao Cao! Yuan Yao said to his subordinates.
As soon as Cao Cao and Yuan Yao met, it was naturally Mars hitting the earth, and the two scolded each other.
Just when the two sides were about to meet again, Yuan Yao took out his killer weapon.
"Cao Cao, look who this is!" Saying that, Yuan Yao asked someone to be tied up from the city tower, only to see a stout man tied up with five flowers, and his mouth was still covered with a footcloth.
Cao Cao didn't look carefully, but Yuan Yao asked people to take out the footcloth from the mouth of this strong man.
"Meng De don't care about me, siege the city, siege the city, avenge me and kill this Yuan Yao child, woo woo woo!" This person is Xiahou Chun, who was captured by Yuan Yaosheng, and when Xiahou Chun finished speaking, the footcloth was stuffed in again.
"What's the matter, Cao Cao, don't you want Xiahou Chun's life?"
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, "Yuan Yao, little thief, what kind of hero are you, threatening me with hostages!" Despicable and shameless! ”
"Cao Cao, old thief, I am despicable and shameless and not as many as you, several times the enemy besieges me, there is a kind of you who come out and fight with me, I will immediately release Xiahou Chun!"
"You!"
"Cao Cao, don't talk nonsense, if you want Xiahou Chun to live, you will give me an immediate retreat!"
If it was someone else, Lao Cao would have attacked the city with his army, but Xiahou Chun is different, this is his Cao Cao's brother, although Lao Cao is a little shameless and a little black, but he is absolutely good to his own brother. Now Yuan Yao actually used Xiahou Chun to threaten him.
Just when Cao Cao hesitated, someone over there suddenly ran into Cao Cao's ear and whispered a few words.
The more Cao Cao listened, the more surprised he became, and even asked himself, "Are you sure?" ”
"Back to the prime minister, it's true!"
"Haha, yes, yes!" Cao Cao's face, which was still at a loss just now, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Huh?" Although Yuan Yao above the city didn't know what was going on in Cao Ying, it was definitely not a good thing.
Cao Cao strode forward, looked at Yuan Yaoxiao'er, who was holding Xiahou Chun as a hostage above the city, and said coldly: "Yuan Yaoxiao'er, I advise you to let Yuan let me go and send it down to the city, otherwise, I will make you regret it!" ”
"Yo, how did Prime Minister Cao learn to intimidate people, I'm so scared!" Yuan Yao also replied sarcastically.
"Do you think there is a hostage in your hands Yuan Yao!"
"Huh? What do you mean? Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Someone, bring someone for me!"
Cao Cao commanded his men.
"Yes!"
Soon, several soldiers of Cao Jun escorted an unkempt man to Cao Cao's side.
"Yuan Yao, open your dog eyes and take a good look at who this person is!" Cao Cao said proudly above the city.
"I don't know!" Yuan Yao replied very honestly.
Just kidding, he and Lao Cao were originally far away, one was under the city and above the city, more than 500 steps apart, Yuan Yao was afraid of death, Lao Cao was also afraid of death, this big and small traitor was afraid of the opposite side of the black hand, so he would not take the risk himself.
In addition, this person is unkempt, and Yuan Yao can recognize the ghost.
"Take a closer look at who this person is!" Cao Cao asked the person to move a little closer to the top of the city.
Yuan Yao stared at it for a while, but he didn't see who this person was. The man kept his head down.
"Do you recognize who this man is?" Yuan Yao asked Liu Pi and Wu Anguo on the side.
"I don't know!"
"I said Cao Cao, what are you doing with such a person I don't know?" Yuan Yao asked Lao Cao strangely.
"You say you don't know?" Cao Cao was also dumbfounded, he looked at his subordinates on the side, and there was a questioning tone in his eyes, could it be that they had caught the wrong person.
"Prime Minister, when we are going to kill this person, this person will personally report his identity, and there will be no mistake."
Cao Cao nodded, "Yuan Yao, since you don't know this person, I will kill him here with one sword, I hope you don't regret it!" ”
"Kill, kill!" Yuan Yao waved his hand and said absently.
"Brother Yao, save me!" The unkempt man above the city suddenly shouted.
"Huh?" Yuan Yao listened to this voice, how did he feel a little familiar.
Beheaded this person? He Lao Cao was reluctant, if this person could get a lot of benefits from Huainan on weekdays, not to mention that Xiahou Chun was now in Yuan Yao's hands.
"Yuan Yao'er, you have to look carefully, this person is your general in Huainan, and also your Yuan Yao's world friend, General Huang Yi!" Cao Cao looked at Yuan Yao, and he couldn't guess the left guess, and he couldn't guess the right guess, so he immediately pointed out the identity of the person who came.
"You say he's Huang Yi?" Yuan Yao looked at Cao Cao below with a strange expression and asked.
"Exactly!" Cao Cao nodded, you are afraid, he heard that this Yuan Yao Xiao'er and this Huang Yi are full of passion.
"Haha! Haha, haha! Yuan Yao, who was above the city, suddenly covered his stomach and pointed at Cao Cao and laughed, "You said he was Huang Yi, you said he was my brother-in-law, haha, haha!" ”
"Yuan Yao, Xiao'er, what are you laughing at?" Cao Cao's face changed slightly.
"Cao Cao, old thief, I believe you also know, I arranged Huang Yi to Henan, and he hasn't come back yet! It's good for you to find me an imposter to bluff me, do you really think that my Yuan Yao is a fool? Yuan Yao was confident, because he deliberately asked his subordinates to send a letter to Huang Yi Dong Xi, who was still floating on the sea, asking them not to come back in a hurry and wait for the situation in Huainan to be decided.
As far as Huang Yi and his brother-in-law, Yuan Yao wouldn't know? A person who is more afraid of death than him Yuan Yao will appear in Lao Cao's hands.
At this moment, Cao Cao was even more uncertain, and looked at the scout officer behind him.
The scout officer also shook his head, because it was just the unkempt man's own admission, and there was nothing to confirm his identity.
What's more, this Huang Yi looks like a stumbling one, black and not slippery, can a general be like this?
"Imposters? Kill me! Lao Cao looked at Yuan Yao, who was laughing more and more happily above the city, and thought that this was an impostor, and in his heart, he immediately ordered his subordinates to kill this person.
As soon as he heard that Lao Cao over there was going to kill himself, Huang Yitong, who had always had the biggest life in the world, stopped doing it, and he kept his head down and didn't squeak before, it was because he had a guilty heart in the center of his heart, but now, it's a matter of small lives, what kind of guilt, what hell do you damn hell, your little life is gone, and you still care about a fart face.
"Brother Yao, save me, save me, I'm Huang Yi, I'm Huang Yi, Brother Yao!" The screams of killing pigs broke out above the city, and this unkempt brother was completely shameless.
"Haha, Cao Cao, did you send such a drama out to amuse us? I don't even know what the relationship between General Huang Yi and our father-in-law is! I also want to disguise myself as General Huang Yi! Liu Bi on the side said with a laugh.
Yuan Yao and Huang Yi are brothers-in-law, Huang Yi is Yuan Yao's brother-in-law, how could Huang Yi call Yuan Yao his brother.
That was said, but the corners of Yuan Yao's mouth over there were twitching.
His face was very unpleasant, as if he had eaten Lao Cao, but now he was suddenly fed a fly by Lao Cao.
This whole world can call Yuan Yao Brother Yao, and Huang Yi really has no other home.
"When was I born?" Yuan Yao was still not at ease testing the people below, praying that this was just Cao Cao's ploy.
"Light and two years!"
"Who is my teacher?" Yuan Yao continued to ask.
"Brother Yao'er, what nonsense are you talking about, how do I know that you teach the master, have you really read a book for a day?" The people under the city said impatiently.
Yuan Yao's face turned red when he said this, his father Yuan Shu was not a good lord but a good father, he had found countless teachers for Yuan Yao since he was a child, but none of them lasted for two days.
"Your kid still drinks the milk of the nurse at the age of three, wears open crotch pants at the age of five, learns to peek at the maid taking a bath at the age of seven, and starts to go to the Qinglou at the age of nine" The unkempt men under the city tower pulled out Yuan Yao one by one.
"Prime Minister Cao, you better kill this person!" Yuan Yao's face was about to be lost to this cheap brother-in-law, his whole face was red, why did he have such a wonderful brother-in-law, he could already be sure that this person was really Huang Yi.
"Don't, Brother Yao, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
"Haha, haha!" Cao Cao under the city tower burst out laughing, led by Lao Cao, and the soldiers of the Cao army laughed along, even Yuan Yao's own soldiers and horses couldn't help laughing.
"It turns out that Yuan Yaoxian's nephew, you will become like this, you were all raised when you were a child!" Cao Cao said teasingly to Yuan Yao.
"Get out! Cao Cao, old thief, do you want to change the hostages, if you want to change them, if you don't change them, you will get out of me! ”
"Change! Why not change! "Xiahou Chun is no less important to Cao Cao than Huang Yi is to Yuan Yao.
"Someone will press General Xiahou down for me!" Yuan Yao waved his hand, and he didn't look at it as a net, he originally planned to use Xiahou Chun as a trump card, but now it's okay, the trump card is gone, and he Yuan Yao has lost such a big face.
"Yes!"
"Zilong, Tenglan, please take a trip for the two of you!" Yuan Yao didn't worry about the others, and only these two people could exchange that living treasure from the army.
"The lord is out of sight!"
Under the head of the city, two or three hanging baskets were put down, and Zhao Yun and Wu Anguo escorted Xiahou Chun towards the edge of the moat over there.
"Evil comes to Gongming, you two go!" Lao Cao also sent two fierce generals, for fear of a change.
"General Huang Yi, please!" exchanged Huang Yi for Xiahou Chun, Lao Cao still felt that he had earned it, this Huang Yi and his Lao Cao knew that it was a good person who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and the Huang family and the Yuan family in Yuzhou had one leg.
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" According to the script, Huang Yi should be eager to leave immediately now, and he doesn't want to stay for a minute, but in fact, he is unwilling to leave.
When Huang Yi came like this, Lao Cao was embarrassed, and Zhao Yun and Wu Anguo over there also stopped Xiahou Chun from passing, they thought that Cao Cao was cheating.
"Brother-in-law Hugh wants to mess around, hurry up and come back with me!" Yuan Yao's face has been thrown to the Pacific Ocean, and this Huang Yi is not disgusted enough.
"I won't leave, if I don't change Chenghu and them back, I won't leave if I am killed!" Huang Yi said to Cao Cao.
"Chenghu?" Cao Cao looked at the officer of the scout battalion over there, this person was captured by him.
"Back to Prime Minister, there are still a few guards with this General Huang Yi!" The scout battalion officer said fifteen-ten.
"What about people! Don't come up with me yet! Lao Cao also wanted to exchange Xiahou Chun back as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night.
"Hehe, this prime minister may not be invited." The scout battalion officer was embarrassed to get vaccinated.
"Huh?"
The scout battalion had no choice but to explain what happened to Cheng Hu and others, and it turned out that this Cheng Hu killed a lot of soldiers and horses of the Cao Army scout camp in order to protect Huang Yi.
The people of this scout camp did not dare to kill Huang Yi, thinking that if they caught a big fish, a small guard battalion would still dare to kill.
In the end, Cheng Hu fought and died.
"What do you say? Cheng Hu died in battle? Huang Yi's eyes widened and he questioned the officer of the scout battalion.
"Kill our five brothers and die in the end!"
Huang Yi was stunned for a long time, for a long time, and then suddenly burst out laughing, "Good kill, good kill!" Huang Yi directly stretched out his finger and scolded Lao Cao over there.
"Bold!"
The lord humiliated the ministers to death, this Huang Yi is still in Cao's military camp, and he dares to point at Cao Chong's slope and scold, isn't this looking for death?
Some soldiers who were more anxious were ready to step forward and move towards Huang Yi.
"Stop!" Normally, ten Huang Yi would be killed by Lao Cao, but now Huang Yi represents Xiahou Chun's life, if Huang Yi dies, Yuan Yao will really be able to let Xiahou Chun pay for his life.
"Cao Cao traitor, you remember me, you remember me, in this life, I Huang Yi must let you cut off your children and grandchildren in order to relieve the hatred in my heart! To avenge the tiger's revenge! "Huang Yi is a rare man, and he swore hateful to Cao Cao over there.
"Cut off children and grandchildren?!" This oath is really poisonous, originally Cao Cao's line was the heir, Cao Cao's father Cao Song's adoptive father was a eunuch, this was to prevent the cutting off of children and grandchildren, so he succeeded Cao Song, and now Huang Yi actually swore to cut off Cao Cao's children and grandchildren, isn't this a slap in the face?
Lao Cao's face suddenly darkened, if it weren't for Xiahou Chun, Huang Yi might have been chopped up and fed to the dog now.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Cao Cao has remembered Huang Yi deeply, and no one has ever been so hated by Lao Cao. "If you can't let my Cao family cut off children and grandchildren, I will let your Huang family leave no grass!" Cao Cao opened his mouth and said with a smile.
