At two o'clock, Xiang Xuan entered Yingyin City again, came to the East City Gatehouse, and saw Cao Suo.

He smiled and clenched his fists and said, "Congratulations to Captain Cao for making a wise choice." ”

Cao Suo barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and then he asked, "What next?" Are your troops going into the city? ”

Xiang Xuan shook his head and said, "Near Yingyin, there has always been a fine work under Zhou Hu, called a traveling wolf, which is very tricky. …… If our army is stationed in the city at this moment, it will inevitably alarm those wolf cubs, and then report to Xuchang...... In other words, if you and I are to act, then we have to do it more secretly. ”

"I want to hear about it." Cao Suo clenched his fists and said.

Seeing this, Xiang Xuan said his strategy: "In this way, after you lead the county army in the city to break through from the east city gate, and after leaving the city, you immediately find a way to break away from the county army, and I will send a general to lead two or three thousand soldiers to meet you, you take this army, lie about breaking through and go to Xuchang, and then I will send troops to pursue." ”

Cao Suo hesitated and asked, "Then ...... the soldiers under my command?"

"Leave it to me." Xiang Xuan patted Cao Suo on the shoulder, smiled and said with relief: "I will ask the soldiers to do as little killing as possible." ”

“……”

Cao Suo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Seeing this, Xiang Xuan instructed Yang Yi, the guard beside him: "Yang Yi, Cao Duwei is afraid that he doesn't recognize Zou Yuan, you are with him." ”

"Yes." Yang Yi responded with a fist.

After the two sides discussed, Cao Suo personally sent Xiang Xuan away from Yingyin.

During this period, there may be a county guard on duty at the city gate who asked curiously: "Captain, who is that?" ”

Cao Suo said without moving: "It's a messenger sent by Xuchang." ”

Hearing this, the county guards on duty nearby were all greatly excited, and said happily: "Captain, isn't Xuchang going to send reinforcements?" ”

Cao Suo smiled without saying a word, returned to the East City Gatehouse, and summoned Yu Shi Liu Jian.

Among the three old subordinates of Tian Qin, Liao Guang, and Liu Jian, Liu Jian was the only official who chose to follow Cao Suo to the enemy.

Cao Suo instructed Liu Jiandao: "Tell the soldiers to prepare and break through tonight." ”

Of course, Liu Jian knew what was going on, and his expression was hesitant.

Seeing this, Cao Suo reprimanded in a low voice: "Are you still hesitant to make a decision now? ”

Liu Jian was shocked and agreed again and again.

Around the time of Yezi, Cao Suo personally led 6,000 county troops to kill from the East City Gate.

Looking at the darkness ahead, more than 6,000 county soldiers were terrified, worried about whether there would be an ambush of rebels ahead.

But Cao Suo knew very well that Xiang Xuan and Zhong Fei had already laid an ambush in the night in the distance.

"I'm sorry......

Glancing back at the county guards behind him, Cao Suo took a deep breath and silently led the army towards the rebels' ambush point.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, the fire was bright all around, and countless rebel soldiers with torches surrounded them from all directions.

The county guards were shocked.

"There's an ambush!"

"The rebels have set up an ambush here!"

Seeing that the county guards began to panic, Cao Suo shouted: "Don't panic! Rush over, as long as we can rush through the rebels' defense line, we can retreat to Xuchang! ”

Hearing this, the county guards regained their spirits and fought with the countless rebels armed with torches.

For a time, the two armies were slaughtered outside the city.

However, at this critical moment, Cao Suo, as the main general, quietly broke away from the team with Wei Shi Liu Jian, as well as Hou Ping, Liu Zhou, Yang Yi and others.

Due to the extremely chaotic scene, none of the county guards noticed that Cao Suo and the others had escaped at first, until they were about to be surrounded by the rebel regiments, and they realized that their Cao Duwei was nowhere to be found.

Cao Suo was not there, and neither were the two sergeants Tian Qin and Liao Guang, and the county army was unable to organize an effective counterattack at all, and was soon surrounded by the rebel regiments.

At the same time, Cao Suo and his entourage, under the leadership of Yang Yi, joined the rebel general Zou Yuan, who was waiting on the north side.

"This is Zou Yuan and Zou Qu. General Zou Qu, this is Cao Duwei. ”

After Yang Yi finished introducing each other, Zou Yuan hugged his fists and said to Cao Suo: "Captain Cao, without further ado, we should immediately break through to Xuchang." ”

"Okay."

Cao Suo nodded.

Just as he was riding his mount and preparing to head in the direction of Xuchang, he suddenly heard a shout from the south side.

It was the wailing of the more than 6,000 county troops.

Noticing Cao Suo's actions, Yang Yi was relieved and said, "Captain Cao, please rest assured, General Xiang will try his best to avoid slaughtering your soldiers." ”

“……”

Cao Suo nodded, and shook the reins with both hands: "Let's go." ”

A moment later, the herald sent by Zou Yuan came to Xiang Xuan, who was in the eastern suburbs of Yingyin, and reported with a fist: "General Qiqi, General Zou Yuan and Zou Qu have ordered me to come to summon him, saying that he has begun to act. ”

"Okay, I got it."

Xiang Xuan nodded slightly.

He has already arranged everything: after Zou Yuan, Cao Suo and others start to act, his subordinate general Guo Huai will pretend to pursue the former.

"Will Zhou Hu be fooled?"

Not far from Xiang Xuan's side, the rebel general Zhong Fei said worriedly.

"I don't know."

Xiang Xuan shook his head slightly.

I have to say that his trick 'Li Dai Taozhuang', he has plugged all the loopholes he can think of.

For example, he ordered Zou Yuan's more than 2,000 soldiers to wear the armor and clothing of the county army - Cao Suo repeatedly failed to break through the siege in the first two days, but caused the county army to lose as many as 3,000 people, which also made the rebels get many armor and clothing of the county army.

Even, considering that Zhou Hu's traveling wolves were active in the vicinity, Xiang Xuan also deliberately worked with Cao Suo to stage a breakthrough scene.

But whether these arrangements can deceive Zhou Hu, even Xiang Xuan is not completely sure.

However, this was already the best way he could think of, as long as the more than 2,000 county soldiers led by Zou Yuan could deceive that Zhou Hu and enter Xuchang City smoothly, then he would have a chance to take Xuchang at a small price.

"Deal with these county guards as soon as possible, and then go to Xuchang." Xiang Xuan turned his head and said to Zhong Fei.

"Hmm." Zhong Fei nodded and ordered: "Come on, go and persuade them to surrender, and tell those county soldiers that as long as they lay down their arms and surrender, they can save their lives." ”

"Yes!" The herald clenched his fists and left.

A moment later, the battlefield not far away sounded the voices of many rebel generals to surrender: "Surrender quickly, you can avoid death!" ”

I have to say that the county army in Yingyin City has no morale, and at this moment it is surrounded by rebel regiments, and it can't find generals such as Cao Suo, Tian Qin, and Liao Guang, where is there still fighting spirit?

So, under the persuasion of the rebels, the county soldiers unloaded their armor and surrendered, although there were several bloody governors and uncles who fought hard during the period, but in the end it was the rebels who came like a tide from all directions, and finally they were either captured or killed.

The two armies of Xiang Xuan and Zhong Fei finally defeated this county army without difficulty, and although a small number of county soldiers fled, in Xiang Xuan's view, it was not enough to become a threat.

At the same time, Yingyin's shouting and killing also alarmed Xuchang.

After receiving the advice from the soldiers of the city, Qin Yu and Jia Shu immediately climbed the city wall and looked into the distance in disbelief.

Faintly, the two of them did hear the sound of killing.

"It seems that there is a fight...... It seems that Cao Suo led the army to break through again. Frowning, Jia Shu showed a little hesitation on his face, turned his head and asked Qin Wei, "What should I do?" The rebels have been alarmed, do they still want to attack Zhong Feijun according to the original plan? ”

It turned out that he and Qin Yu, in the name of Zhao Yu, were originally going to attack Zhong Feijun's military camp around midnight tonight, creating an opportunity for Cao Suo, who had become Yingyin, to lead the army to break through.

Unexpectedly, just before they were ready to act, Cao Suo on Yingyin's side seemed to take the lead in breaking through.

At this time, the rebels were alarmed, and even Qin Wei didn't know whether he should act according to the original plan.

After a long time, Qin Wei frowned and said, "Send someone to inform Zhou Duwei and ask him to decide." ”

"Hmm."

Jia Shu nodded, immediately summoned a soldier behind him, and ordered: "You immediately go to the Governor's Office and tell the Captain." ”

"Yes!"

It turned out that today because Qin Yu and Jia Shu were going to lead the army to attack Zhong Fei's military camp, Zhao Yu did not go back to Chen Lang's mansion to rest, but planned to spend the night in the Governor's Office, so that he could know the battle situation as soon as possible.

About a moment later, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Niu Heng, He Shun, and Wei Shihan and a few people to the West City Gate Tower in a hurry.

"Captain."

Qin Yu, Jia Shu, and the Marquis of the West City Gate all clasped their fists and saluted.

"Hmm."

Nodding, Zhao Yu walked quickly to the wall, looking at the pitch black distance.

Compared with a moment ago, the shouting and killing sound seemed to be closer to Xuchang, which made Zhao Yu really surprised: Cao Suo, actually broke through?

"Strange...... Wasn't he blocked by Xiang Xuan and the others for two days?"

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

After all, according to the news sent by the brigade wolf in the past few days, Cao Suo has repeatedly led the army to break through in the past two days and has been blocked by the rebels.

At this time, Wei Shi Hanhe said on the side: "Captain, this shouting and killing is getting closer and closer to my Xuchang, Xu is Cao Suo, Tian Qin, and Liao Guang have broken through the siege, and we should send troops to meet ......."

“……”

Zhao Yu lightly clasped his fingers on the wall battlement, and said in a deep voice: "No, that may be Xiang Xuan's trick to lure us out of the city, wait and see what happens." ”

Seeing this, Han He didn't dare to persuade anymore.

In this way, until around midnight, the shouting and killing in the distance became clearer and clearer.

Judging from these noisy voices, there must be an army pursuing another.

But was the pursued army really the county army led by Cao Suo? Zhao Yu was not sure about this, after all, Xiang Xuan he was facing was also a cunning guy, and he would not use this trick to lure him out of the city.

It wasn't until around two o'clock that the pursued army finally arrived at the gate of Xuchang West.

During this period, a general on a war horse shouted outside the city: "I am Cao Suo, the commander of Xuchang, open the city gate quickly!" ”

"Poof."

More than a dozen torches were dropped from the city to light up the man on the horse, and sure enough, it was Cao Suo.

"Captain, it's really Cao Suo." Yu Shi Hanhe whispered beside him.

"It's really Cao Suo...... Did he really lead his army to break through the encirclement of the rebels?'

Zhao Yu was secretly surprised in his heart.

At this time, the Marquis of the West City Gate saw Cao Suo shouting endlessly under the city, so he asked Zhao Yu for instructions: "Captain, it seems that there are rebels chasing Cao Suo's army, do you want to open the city gate to answer?" ”

“……”

Zhao Yu took a deep look at the dark outside of the city, and ordered: "Order the crossbowmen in the city, once they find the traces of the rebels pursuing Cao Suo, immediately release their arrows to cover our soldiers." But you must not open the gates until it is daybreak. ”

Looking at the pitch-black outside the city, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
