Hundreds of soldiers under Zhang Xiu held spears and surrounded the small farmhouse.

At this time, Dian Wei was certainly hit by several arrows, and his body seemed to be soaked in blood, but Wu held a double iron halberd in his hand and guarded the door viciously.

The rebels were intimidated by his momentum, but they did not dare to approach, so they began to climb the wall from all sides.

Anyway, their main general's target is Cao Cao in the courtyard, not Dian Wei, as long as Cao Cao is successfully killed, the task will be completed.

Zhang Xiu looked at the scene in front of him from behind, let out a long breath, and his heart was settled.

This time, Cao Cao, the sinner who insulted his uncle's concubine and made him bear the notoriety of "sacrificing his mother to survive", finally couldn't escape.

And as long as Cao Cao dies, the Cao clan will be leaderless and will inevitably be torn apart, and he may really be able to unite with Liu Biao, sneak attack Xu Du, control the imperial court in his hands, and then eat all the Cao clan's territory.

Then he can also catch Cao Cao's wife and daughter, so that this thief can also taste the taste of his wife and daughter being humiliated under Jiuquan, thinking that his uncle will avenge his shame.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu showed a smug smile on his face.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the street......

By this time, the sky was getting brighter, and even without lighting a torch, I could faintly recognize the person opposite.

Zhang Xiu turned around violently, only to see that the person who came immediately turned out to be Hu Che'er, and he ran in a panic.

"My lord, my lord...... The big thing is not good, our army is all over, and the Cao army is about to be killed, and the last general ...... The last general will protect the lord and flee for his life. ”

Hu Che'er hurriedly ran to Zhang Xiu and said breathlessly.

It turned out that Liu Ping led the 3,000 vanguard army to easily defeat the 9,000 rebels under Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er saw that the defeat was determined and irretrievable, so he didn't dare to show his face in front of Tai Shici and others, but secretly rode his war horse to find the lord.

"What did you say?" Zhang Xiu, who had just dreamed of the Spring and Autumn Festival, had a smile on his face, and involuntarily shook his horse, looking at the embarrassed Hu Che'er in front of him in disbelief, and said sharply: "You have 9,000 soldiers under your command, and Cao's army is only 3,000, how did you lose the battle?"

Could it be that Cao Jun is a heavenly soldier and a general? ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

"What is it?"

"It's Liu Ping's child, who has done his hands and feet on our weapons, and they will be broken when they are touched, and our soldiers are almost the same as bare-handed, and they can't compete with Cao Jun at all," Hu Che'er said pitifully, not daring to make eye contact with Zhang Xiu.

"This ...... How could this be ......" Zhang Xiu was dumbfounded, muttering to himself, he felt the biting cold, cold into the bone marrow.

"Lord, let's go, if you don't leave, it'll be too late."

"Without the army, the world is so big, where can we flee to?" He glared suddenly, revealing a fierce light at the courtyard where Cao Cao was hiding, and roared hysterically: "Even if I die, I will pull that Cao thief on his back."

Kill me!

Kill!

Kill—"

Zhang Xiu's throat was about to burst.

At this time, Cao Cao was sitting on the ground in the courtyard, panting from exhaustion, even if he was asked to run now, he couldn't run, not to mention that there were Zhang Xiu's rebels all around, and he had nowhere to escape.

Seeing that countless rebels had climbed the wall one after another, and they were about to kill him in the blink of an eye, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Since he started the army, he has suffered countless defeats, and now he has just improved but died here, and it is inevitable that he will be unwilling.

What's more, after his death, there was no one who could convince the Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers at the same time, and how many unequal military horses there were under the two brothers, and when the time came, no one would obey each other, and the two sides would have to fight.

The foundation he created will be destroyed in an instant, and his family may not be able to protect themselves.

"It's all retribution!" Cao Cao sighed and saw that several rebels had climbed over the wall on all sides.

He knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of Xudu in the northeast, which was to apologize for his father and family, and after bowing, he turned the spear in his hand and aimed it at his chest......

As a hero, he would rather commit suicide than die at the hands of a group of ordinary soldiers, which is the last dignity before he dies.

"My lord, no!" Dian Wei, who was guarding the door, turned around, saw Cao Cao's strange appearance, couldn't help but roar, and didn't care about guarding the door, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed the spear in Cao Cao's hand with his left hand, and waved the iron halberd with his right hand to kill several rebels who retreated.

At this moment, I suddenly heard that there seemed to be countless soldiers killing outside, and at the same time, the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Capture Zhang Xiu alive!"

"Capture Zhang Xiu alive!"

……

Cao Cao and Dian Wei were stunned at the same time, looking at each other, isn't this Zhang Xiu's rebels?

The rebel soldiers who came in over the wall around them also stood on the spot with their spears in their arms, not knowing what to do.

At this time, through the gate of the courtyard, I saw a horse with two generals, and the young man behind him pointed to the front and ordered: "Zhang Xiu wants to live, Hu Che'er will be killed." ”

That young man was none other than Liu Ping.

Liu Ping gave an order, and immediately rushed over behind him, Tai Shici and Xu Huang, two powerful generals, and countless soldiers behind him hurried through in front of the courtyard gate.

"Ping'er, it's me Ping'er!" When Cao Cao saw Liu Ping again, he unconsciously let go of the spear in his hand, feeling like a world away, and couldn't help but cry with joy.

Although he didn't understand how Liu Ping led the army to kill, he knew when he saw Tai Shici, Xu Huang and others that Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang must be on the left, and his fate was saved.

"It's Ping Gongzi, it's really Ping Gongzi," Dian Wei grinned widely, dancing happily, like a giant baby.

At this time, Liu Ping heard that someone seemed to be calling him, and he turned to the side and found that his father-in-law was next to him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The only thing he is worried about now is his father-in-law, for fear that history will play a joke on him here and let his father-in-law hang in Wancheng.

Although he had saved Cao Ang just now, but at this time the Cao family had just had the prototype of taking off, and had not yet unified the north, if his father-in-law hung up, Cao Ang certainly also had the ambition to calm the world, but the difference between his ability and his father was not a star and a half, and Liu Ping didn't know how much effort he would have to put into it at that time.

At this time, he suddenly saw his father-in-law sitting in the yard, although he was embarrassed, but at least he was still alive, Liu Ping quickly dismounted and rushed into the yard.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law has found you."

Immediately following Liu Ping, Lu Qi, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Cang also followed, frightened the seven or eight rebel soldiers who came in first over the wall, and hurriedly ran back, preparing to climb out of the wall again.

How could Zhang Liao and the others give him this opportunity, and together with Dian Wei, they would kill these greedy soldiers with three strikes and five divisions.

"Ping'er, why are you here?" Cao Cao said in a trembling voice, he was reborn after the catastrophe, and he was moved, and the hands that grabbed his son-in-law's arm were still trembling slightly.

Liu Ping looked at his father-in-law, who was unkempt and covered in blood in front of him, and said with a straight face: "The son-in-law led the army to quell the rebellion, and I hope that my father-in-law will atone for his sins when he is late." ”

"Innocent, innocent," Cao Cao waved his hand with relief: "If you hadn't come to the rescue, you and my son-in-law would never see each other again." ”

It's a pity, your eldest brother ...... Ay...... Regret should not have been in the beginning, not to listen to your kind words and persuasion. ”

It was gratifying for the son-in-law to come, but when he remembered that his son had given him his war horse to ride in order to save him, and he was killed in the chaos, his heart immediately hurt like a knife.

Cao Ang is not an ordinary son, that is his eldest son, and he also chose the heir of the Cao family's foundation, but he exchanged his life for his old life, this tragedy is still caused by his greed for pleasure, how can a father not be heartbroken?

"Hey!" Cao Cao Angtian sighed and hammered his chest twice, as if the pain in his body could alleviate the pain in his heart: "Ahem, Ang'er unfortunately died, as the saying goes, mother and son are heart-to-heart, I go back to Xu Du, how to explain to his mother?" ”

He knew that his wife's feelings for his son were simply living for his son, and if he knew that his son had died for this reason, he would probably not give up with him.

In history, Mrs. Ding broke with Cao Cao because of this, moved back to her parents' house to weave cloth for the rest of her life, and never forgave Cao Cao in her life.

"Big brother, he's so dignified," at this time, Liu Ping blinked, pointed to the door and said to Cao Cao in surprise: "He's outside." ”

"What?" Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Ping with an incredible expression on his face, "You say, Ang'er is not dead?"

You're not forgiving me? ”

The so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, Cao Ang's force Cao Cao is clear, at most he is a second-rate general, which is not easy for a son.

He rode Cao Ang's horse at that time, and even Dian Wei came out to protect him, Cao Ang's own soldiers were almost dead, only one Cao Anmin was left, and the force was not even as good as Cao Ang, how could his son escape?

"Father, father," Cao Ang stumbled through the door.

Cao Cao squeezed his eyes vigorously, unable to believe what he was seeing.

When Cao Ang fell to his side, he touched Cao Ang's arm with trembling hands to believe that all this was true.

Although the son in front of him was covered in blood, and there were several bleeding places, he was alive.

"Son, this ...... How did you escape? ”

"As soon as you left, Brother Liu Pingxian led the army to kill, so he saved his son and An Min."

"Then Ping'er, how did you pacify the rebels?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Ping in bewilderment.

Cao Cao knew that the rebels had more than 10,000 people, and their combat strength was not weak, and the Cao vanguard army in the city was only 3,000 people, and it sounded a little impossible to pacify 10,000 rebels in such a short period of time with 3,000 soldiers.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that the vanguard army led by Liu Ping has indeed won, and is chasing Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er.

"The son-in-law pleaded guilty," Liu Ping first confessed, and then said: "At the beginning, my father-in-law ordered the son-in-law to return the ordnance to Zhang Xiu, but the son-in-law was worried that Zhang Xiu had two hearts, so he did something to the ordnance privately.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu really rebelled, so the son-in-law led the vanguard army to quell the rebels without much effort. ”

"Fortunately, Ping'er, you are alert," Cao Cao praised and said: "This time you saved me and your eldest brother, and it can be regarded as saving the Cao family's foundation again, and I will be rewarded." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought about it, and at the same time a little frightened, if it weren't for Liu Ping, I am afraid that the rebels would have succeeded.

As soon as he and Cao Ang die, the foundation of the Cao family will most likely be wiped out, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Ping saved the Cao family again, no matter how the reward is, it is worth it.

At this time, Tai Shici and Xu Huang strode in.

Xu Huang was holding a big axe in his left hand, and he was carrying a bloody human head that was still dripping blood in his right hand, which was Hu Che'er's.

And Tai Shici pushed Zhang Xiu, who was tied with five flowers.

The two were ordered to chase after Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er who had escaped, but Zhang Hu and the others had nowhere to run, so they could only turn around and face the battle.

As a result, Xu Huang soon cut off Hu Che'er's head with an axe, and Tai Shici caught Zhang Xiu with ease.

The two of them hugged the grass and beat the rabbits, and by the way, they led the vanguard army to wipe out Zhang Xiu's army, and then escorted Zhang Xiu back.

Tai Shici kicked at the crook of Zhang Xiu's leg, and Zhang Xiu involuntarily knelt in front of Cao Cao, his face full of anger.

"Retribution comes so quickly," Cao Cao snorted coldly, and raised his head and said, "I told you just now that you didn't listen, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Zhang Xiu, the general of the defeated army, knew that he would definitely die if he made such a mess, and there was no need to beg for mercy, but said stiffly: "If you become a king or lose a villain, you will kill if you want to, why bother to say more?" ”

Cao Cao was sneered by Zhang Xiu, now killing Zhang Xiu is just a matter of words, but he was so embarrassed by Zhang Xiu, the lives of the father and son were almost lost, killing Zhang Xiu is simple, if he can't punish his heart, Cao Cao is obviously unwilling.

"Pass the order, arrest all the female dependents of this family, and reward the soldiers of the three armies," Cao Cao smiled coldly.

In this era, it is common to catch women in the city to reward the three armies after the city is broken, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers, so as to motivate the soldiers to work hard the next time they attack the city.

"Cao Cao, you are despicable and shameless!" When Zhang Xiu heard that Cao Cao was going to attack his daughter, his eyes suddenly cracked with anger.

He struggled to stand up, but was pressed to the ground by Tai Shici's pincer-like hand behind him, unable to move.

Zhang Xiu also thought that if he was defeated and could not escape death, the daughters of the family would inevitably not be protected, but if he died, he would die, but he was rewarded to the soldiers and died of humiliation, so what Cao Cao did was too despicable.

"You are the Han Dynasty, and you are the imperial army, so don't you make the world laugh at the people of the Han Dynasty by treating the Han people like this?" Zhang Xiu roared.

Cao Cao wanted this effect, and said with a smile: "Doesn't the Han have laws? Turning the relatives of guilty courtiers as officials, this common law, who in the world can laugh at me? ”

To set up the law, Cao Cao is also reasonable, and this practice is indeed clearly stipulated in the law of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, Zhang Xiu is just a bluff, whether the world laughs at Cao Cao or not, he can't see it anymore, not to mention that he knows that the world will not laugh at Cao Cao for this kind of thing.

"The sinner Zhang Xiu, he knows that the crime is extremely evil, and he will die if he dies, and he begs Cao Gong not to harm his family, Zhang Xiu also feels Cao Gong's great virtue in the ground," Zhang Xiu is like a defeated rooster, kneeling on the ground and bowing his head, and his speech is soft, the tougher he is at this time, the more he will bring disaster to his family.

Cao Cao's goal was achieved, he waved his hand, and asked people to take Zhang Xiu down, and he was not busy killing, and he would keep the sacrificial flag in the future, as for his daughters, should he catch or catch, Cao Cao's heart was not so soft.

At this time, Le Jin hurriedly came in and said, "Yu Sikong, the last general has taken Jia Xu here!" ”
