"PS: I still feel a little uncomfortable, on the fourth day of the National Day, I didn't go anywhere."

———— the following text————

Just when Zhao Yu stopped the chaos at the West City Gate, Cao Suo, who he had forgotten for a while, was taking Hou Ping, Liu Zhou and several other guards straight to the county guard's mansion.

At this time, the noise and shouting of killing in the area of the West City Gate had reached this side, which not only caused passers-by to pause to look to the west, but also made Cao Suo and his party change their faces greatly.

"Du Wei ......," the guard Hou Ping reminded Cao Suo uneasily.

『…… Damn, did those rebels see a flaw in that Zhou Hu?"

Cao Suo glanced back at the direction of the West City Gate, and he was also a little irritable in his heart, he whispered: "Quick, speed up." ”

He knew very well that until now, he had to hold Li Min, the guard of Yingchuan County, hostage, and make that Zhou Tiger a rat trap, so that he and his family could have a chance to live.

Thinking of this, he hurried to the county guard's mansion.

The county guards on duty in front of the county guard naturally recognized Cao Suo, and when they saw Cao Suo, they all saluted with surprise: "Captain Cao, have you returned to Xuchang?" ”

"Ah, is the county keeper in the mansion?" Cao Suo coped quietly.

Those county guards did not doubt him, and the first soldier nodded with a smile: "Is Captain Cao here to give his life to the county guard?" …… The county keeper is in the house, so the little one will report it......"

"No need."

Without waiting for the soldier to finish speaking, Cao Suo took Hou Ping and several guards to break in.

The soldier hurriedly called out to Cao Suo: "Cao Duwei ......"

"How?" Cao Suo glanced back at the soldiers.

I have to say that Cao Suo has been a lieutenant in Xuchang for more than ten years, even if he is now deprived of his position by Zhao Yu, but Jiwei is still there, just a glance, and he forcibly asked those county guards to swallow the words that were about to blurt out back into their stomachs.

Watching Cao Suo and his party walk away, several county soldiers looked at each other, and they all felt that today's Cao Duwei was a little difficult to get along with.

After entering the mansion, the officials encountered along the way greeted Cao Suo and his party, and Cao Suo also asked about the whereabouts of Li Junshou from the mouths of these officials, and went straight to the study where Li Junshou was.

A moment later, Cao Suo and his party came to Li Junshou's study.

At this time, Li Junshou was handling affairs in the study, and suddenly saw the guards outside the door walk in, and clenched his fists and said, "Lord County Shou, Cao Duwei asks to see." ”

"Cao Suo?"

Li Junshou did not doubt that he had him, and shouted with a cold face: "Call him in!" ”

So, Cao Suo walked into the study alone, staying outside the study of Hou Ping, Liu Zhou and the other guards, ready to wait for an opportunity to move.

"Look at the good things you've done!"

When he saw Cao Suo, Li Junshou reprimanded the former.

And the strange thing is that Cao Suo didn't attack immediately, he just looked at Li Junshou with an angry face, and a complicated look appeared on his face.

And at this moment, more than a dozen officials and dozens of officials hurriedly rushed to the outside of Li Junshou's study.

Seeing this, the guards guarding the study of Li County immediately shouted: "What are you going to do? ”

Before the words fell, I heard the official led by him shouting urgently: "Zhang Huwei, Li Huwei, Cao Suo has rebelled!" Cao Suo mutinied! …… Be careful! ”

"What?"

When the guard surnamed Zhang heard this, he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but unfortunately, Cao Suo's guard Hou Ping had already prepared, and he drew his sword first and put the sword on the side of his neck.

Another guard, surnamed Li, was also restrained by Liu Zhou and several other guards.

“…… Cao Suo mutinied! Cao Suo mutinied! ”

The shouts from outside the house reached the study, causing Li Junshou to reprimand Cao Suo to come to an abrupt end.

"Cao Suo...... Mutiny?'

Li Junshou looked at Cao Suo in disbelief, and saw Cao Suo sigh with a complicated expression, and immediately pulled out the sword at his waist.

"I'm sorry, Lord Gunner."

Arching his hand towards Li Junshou, Cao Suo strode forward, grabbed Li Junshou's shirt with one hand, and rested his sword on the latter's neck with the other.

Li Junshou, who was over fifty years old, was shocked and angry, and scolded angrily: "Cao Suo, what are you doing? Are you going to rebel?! ”

Cao Suo said hatefully: "It was the adults who forced me, if it weren't for the adults' belief in Zhou Hu, how would I have fallen to the point where I am today?" …… I don't want to harm adults, so please don't act rashly. ”

With that, he slowly walked out of the study with Li Junshou in tow.

At this time, more and more officials and officials in the county guard mansion were alarmed, and even Chen Lang, the chief of the county affairs on behalf of the county, also came here with a few people, and saw that Cao Suo and his guards had actually taken Li Junshou hostage, Chen Lang was shocked.

may be because this side belongs to Chen Lang's highest official position, Chen Lang angrily reprimanded: "Cao Suo, you dare to hold the county guard hostage, you are rebellious!" ”

As soon as the words fell, many officials here also angrily denounced Cao Suo.

"Less nonsense."

Cao Suo held Li Junshou hostage and shouted in a deep voice: "Chen Lang, listen, now I am going to send my guards to leave Xuchang with my family, if anyone dares to stop me during the period, will you see this sword in Cao's hand?" ”

Feeling the coldness of the sharp sword around his neck, Li Junshou was angry and angry, but he didn't dare to move.

I have to say that this old man who is over fifty years old, a dignified son of the Li clan, has never encountered the experience of being held hostage in his life, let alone being held hostage by the lieutenant he once promoted.

Seeing this, Chen Lang hurriedly beckoned the officials to shut up, so as not to irritate Cao Suo, and he privately said to an official: "Quick, go and tell Captain Zhou." ”

At this time, Cao Suo instructed Hou Ping, Liu Zhou and several other guards: "Go to my house quickly and bring my family and you and other family members here." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Zhou and several other guards immediately hugged their fists and left, and the officials of the county guard led by Chen Lang naturally did not dare to stop them, leaving Hou Ping to stay by Cao Suo's side to deal with the unexpected.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Chen Lang suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Han Weishi is here with a black tiger pawn." ”

"Han He?"

Chen Lang looked back, and sure enough, he saw Wei Shi Han and dozens of black tiger thieves with black scarves on their heads hurrying towards this side.

"Han Weishi."

Chen Lang arched his hand towards Han He.

Han He didn't care about returning the salute, and before and after squeezing into the crowd, he set his eyes on Cao Suo, and seeing that Cao Suo really held Li Junshou hostage, his expression couldn't help but become complicated.

"Captain Cao." He arched his hand towards Cao Suo.

"Han He, ah......"

Cao Suo glanced at Han He lightly.

Although Han He used to be one of the old departments he relied on the most, since Han He turned to Zhou Hu, this old department was crossed out in Cao Suo's heart.

Seeing that under the eyes of everyone, Han He arched his hand towards Cao Suo, and said with a straight face: "Cao Duwei, Zhou Duwei has seen through your conspiracy to collude with the rebels to try against Xuchang. By the time he sent the lowly servants, Captain Zhou had already controlled the chaos at the West City Gate, and sent the Black Turban Guards to seal off your mansion...... Please don't make another mistake and make a mistake, and quickly let go of the county guard. ”

“……”

Cao Suo was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You go and tell Zhou Hu, ask him to bring me and my family members here safe and sound, and prepare ten carriages, as long as I leave Xuchang, I will release the county guard, otherwise, I will kill Li County Shou with a sword." …… The dignified county guard was assassinated, and I see how the bandit leader explained to the court how he dreamed of being promoted and making a fortune again! ”

"Heartbreaking!"

"Shameless!"

The officials of the government who were gathered on the side immediately scolded, but Cao Suo was unmoved.

When he decided to turn his back on the court and defect to the rebels, he had already made the preparations that Wanfu pointed out, and the only thing he regretted was that he couldn't take Xuchang together.

Seeing that Cao Suo was stubborn, Wei Shi Hanhe sighed, and had no choice but to immediately send the black tiger thief behind him to the West City Gate to report the matter to Commander Zhao Yu.

At this time, at the west city gate, the city gate has been recaptured by Jia Shu and Niu Heng, and they struggled to close the city gate, and the rebel general Zou Yuan was also taken by Qin Yu, and the rest of the rebels who invaded the city either surrendered or were killed, and even Wei Shi Liu Jian also chose to surrender in a desperate situation.

The internal worries have been removed, and only the external troubles remain.

Zhao Yu stood on the city wall and witnessed another attack by Guo Huai's army being repelled by the county army defending the city.

But there was no relaxation on his face.

Because, the main force of the rebels finally arrived, and a bright 'Xiang' character military flag meant that Xiang Xuan, the general of the rebels, finally led the army to Xuchang.

Just when Zhao Yu looked at the main force of the rebels in the distance outside the city, Jia Shu personally escorted him to Wei Shi Liu Jian and came to the front of the city gate tower.

"Captain."

As Liu Jian knelt down in front of Zhao Yu with a pale face, Jia Shu clenched his fists and said to Zhao Yu: "Fortunately, with the assistance of Niu Mengshi, the last general has recaptured the city gate, closed it, and the rebels who invaded the city have all been controlled, and the rebel general Zou Yuan has also been taken by Qin Yu." ”

"Good."

Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction, then glanced down at Liu Jian, and said lightly: "Liu Jian, let's talk about it, what's going on." ”

Now, how dare Liu Jian hide it anymore?

Under Zhao Yu's questioning, he trembled and told Zhao Yu about the process of Cao Suo's rebellion, including how Xiang Xuan and Cao Suo moved flowers and trees, and seemed to break through from Yingyin with more than 6,000 county soldiers, but it turned out to break through to Xuchang with more than 2,000 rebels.

Even Zhao Yu couldn't help but praise when he heard it: Wonderful!

Who would have thought that Cao Suo, who had personally led more than 6,000 county soldiers to break through, would change a group of soldiers who broke through halfway?

No wonder even the brigade wolf didn't remind Xuchang, obviously he was deceived by Xiang Xuan's trick, mistakenly thinking that it was just Cao Suo leading the army to break through, but he didn't expect that there was such a conspiracy in it.

"Du Wei, Liu Jian defected to the enemy and rebelled, and he should be killed!"

The Marquis of the Gate persuaded him angrily, and the nearby soldiers also responded.

No wonder they are angry, you know, if Zhao Yu is not cautious this time, he refuses to open the city gate before dawn, he Xuchang may suffer.

What made Wang Yan and others feel even more embarrassed and embarrassed was that when this Captain Zhou made a correct judgment, it was ridiculous that their group of people were actually deceived by the tricks of a group of rebels, but they felt that this Captain Zhou was 'cold and cruel' and 'unkind'.

The more Wang Yan thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, and he wanted to slaughter Liu Jian with a knife to cover up their mistakes.

"Captain Zhou spares his life! Zhou Duwei spares his life! …… I didn't want to surrender to the enemy, it was Cao Suo who forced him, and I had to do it as a last resort. ”

Seeing that Wang Yan and other soldiers were shouting to kill him, Liu Jian turned pale with fright, knelt in front of Zhao Yu and kowtowed repeatedly.

In the face of Liu Jian's plea for mercy, Zhao Yu was unmoved.

In fact, whether to kill Liu Jian or not, in his opinion, has nothing to do with the overall situation, the key lies in the main force of the rebels outside the city, and Xiang Xuan, who almost capsized in the gutter this time.

Whether there is a follow-up trick for that Xuan, this is what Zhao Yu cares about.
