Chapter 142: Kidnapping
There was still a moment or so before it got dark, and the vision was already dark.
Under the watchful eyes of the officers and soldiers of the two armies, Cao Xiurong's car stopped fifteen steps away from Tian Xin: "Tian Junhou is brave and unbeatable, and he is very admired." Now that the two are at war, it's useless, why don't they retreat? ”
He carefully looked at Tian Xin's chest, there were more than 30 crossbow arrows and bow arrows, and his breastplate was like a hedgehog.
Looking at the peerless divine horse under Tian Xin's seat, he was panting heavily, foaming at the mouth, and tired, which made Cao Xiu feel a little distressed.
Tian Xin squinted and saw that Cao Xiurong's car had a person on the left side of the car and a halberd on the right side of the car; In addition to Cao Xiu, there were two other halberds on the chariot, each holding a shield to Cao Xiu's left and right, and a young man in a brocade robe, who should be close to the staff.
Counting the guard plate of the car, Cao Xiu only exposed above the shoulders, and other parts were within the scope of protection.
But Cao Xiu's chariot had four horses, and the corners of Tian Xin's mouth couldn't help but curl: "It's true that there is no benefit in fighting again, if you want to stop fighting, Cao Zhennan is willing to hear and tell two stories?" ”
Cao Xiu glanced at his own wounded soldiers on the battlefield, but the Han soldiers did not step forward to mend their swords, and they did not dare to save them.
It is one thing to be dragged back from the battlefield to save or not, and it is another thing for the two armies to watch from front of the formation.
Cao Xiu arched his hand: "I want to hear it." ”
"The first story is related to Cao Zijian, I don't know if it's true or not, and I have to ask Cao Zhennan."
Tian Xin said as he raised his left hand to disassemble the subchin helmet: "I heard that after Cao Pi usurped the throne, he killed Ding Yi's brothers, and I was afraid that Cao Zijian would be in trouble. invited Cao Zijian to the banquet, and during the banquet, he ordered Xu Chu to catch the knife, and ordered Cao Zijian to compose poems with the theme of siblings and brothers, with a limit of seven steps. ”
Cao Zijian got a poem in less than five steps, the poem said, boiled beans and burned beans, and beans cried in the kettle. It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? ”
Cao Xiu laughed when he heard it: "Tian Junhou is really talented, and his talent is really the leader of the southern country." I wonder what the other story is? ”
"Another story is in the Junshui Bridge, when my clan and township party migrated through Jiaxian, they fled south to Jingzhou due to hunger. I didn't dare to walk the bridge when I crossed the water, because the river was cold in September and there was no boat to cross. One of the fellow villagers was infected with the epidemic, and knowing that time was short, he set fire to the soldiers guarding the bridge, and more than 300 people from my clan and township party were able to cross the water. ”
Tian Xin said as he raised his hands to take off his helmet, held it in his arms, held the meteor hammer in his right hand and hid it in the helmet, and looked up at Cao Xiu: "There is a son in his family who is my personal companion, named Wang Zhi, who died in battle today." Cao Zhennan, do you have anything to say? ”
Cao Xiu was silent for a while: "In this troubled world, today Tian Junhou will kill dozens of people, so there is no need to behave." ”
"Yes, this is troubled times. Faith knows that it is evil to give birth to a man, but it is better to give birth to a girl. Giving birth to a daughter still has to marry a neighbor, and giving birth to a boy is buried with a hundred grasses. ”
Tian Xin chanted loudly, and then smiled: "Since it is a troubled time, then Cao Zhennan will stay." ”
After that, he picked up the Zhang Bafang Heavenly Halberd nailed to the ground with his left hand, and threw it violently with a meteor hammer in his right hand.
The four horses were frightened and rushed towards Tian Xin, Cao Xiu and He Yan only came to grasp the guardrail on the chariot, and Tian Xin held the halberd of the eight directions in both hands, rode Mondo forward seven or eight steps, and stabbed the right halberd of the car that tried to control the car.
As soon as the halberd was pulled out, the two halberd-wielding guards on the Rong car stabbed the halberd, Tian Xin had already pulled out the Qingyu sword in his right hand, and a sword was cut out, and the two Fang Tian halberds that were stabbed were cut off at the same time.
Mondo still moved forward and approached the carriage, and as he staggered and passed, Tian Xin took advantage of the situation to backhand another sword, and the two halberd-wielding guards wearing basin collar armor were cut through their breastplates, and they howled in pain in unison.
Although he howled in pain, it was not fatal, and at the same time he drew his sword to protect Cao Xiu behind him, Tian Xin turned his horse's head to catch up with the left side of the Rong chariot and easily picked up the halberd to stab one person to death, and the Rong chariot ran south, Tian Xin reined in the horse, and watched Tian Ji lead people to come forward to surround the Rong chariot and stab the last injured halberd guard to death with a spear.
In less than two minutes, Tian Xin jumped off the horse, boarded Cao Xiurong's car with a halberd in his left hand, and pushed the Qingyu sword back to the copper sword box behind his waist, making a piercing friction sound: "Cao Zhennan, don't come to harm?" ”
Cao Xiu pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and wanted to pull it out: "I treat each other politely, why should Tian Junhou be a villain in vain?" ”
"Villain? I didn't want to bother with you about the matter of Mondo White Rabbit Qin Jin, but you are bold, you really think that no one dares to kill the Cao family? ”
Tian Xin said and looked at He Yan: "Go back and inform Xiahou Boren that if you want to redeem Cao Zhennan, you will send Cao Zhennan BMW White Rabbit to me, and send Pang Lin Pang Shiheng's wife and daughter." When will it be delivered, and when will I release it back to Cao Zhennan. ”
He Yan showed surprise on his face: "The prince doesn't kill Wen Lie? ”
"I just hate him for deceiving me yesterday and daring to come before me today. If the two armies face each other, let alone one, even ten Cao Zhennan, I will kill them casually. ”
Tian Xin glanced at Cao Xiu obliquely, and continued to He Yan: "Let Xiahou Boren send someone to discuss with our army about the return of the head, as well as the disposal of wounded soldiers, battlefield cleaning and other things. ”
He Yan got out of the car and walked towards the north, and after walking less than fifty steps, he was greeted by Cao Xiu's military officials, and more than a dozen knights surrounded He Yan and went straight to find Xiahou Shang.
Five or six knights who were good at the chariot fought to squeeze into the position of the chariot and drove the chariot back to the camp.
The walls of the camp were full of officials, and the straw in the camp was lit one after another, and the fires were lit one after another.
As the chariot arrived at the east gate of the camp, Tian Xin held Cao Xiu's white golden helmet high with a halberd of the eight directions, and let out a long howl, which attracted officials from near and far to shout and vent their post-war emotions.
The officers and soldiers of the army crowded on both sides of the gate, and the torches were lined up, and as Tian Xin raised his arms and shouted, the whole army shouted long live.
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
The soldiers shouted again and again, until it was completely dark, and the mountain cries gradually stopped.
Cao Xiu was captured by Tian Xin's single horseman, and Xiahou was still anxious to recruit the protector Zhao Yan to discuss, and Cao Xiu's protector ...... It is Changdiao.
The morale of the Wei army was generally low, and the army was not Cao Xiu's personal soldiers, so how could he be angry and indignant, and he only felt frustrated.
Zhao Yan galloped over, and listened to Xiahou Shang say: "The white rabbit is a trivial matter, Pang Lin is just an enemy camp to join the army, I heard that he is friendly with Tian Xiaoxian, and it is reasonable to ask for his family." It is only to return the heads of the officers and men of the two armies, which is an obstacle to national law. ”
After the declaration of war merits, Xu Du also had to check the actual seizure and head before it could be established.
Zhao Yan had a different opinion: "In this battle, our army was outnumbered, but it was equal to the enemy's capture...... It is already a loss of morale, but if the first level of trading can be invigorated, it can lift up my officials. Moreover, after the beheading of our army was returned to the enemy...... It's not a bad thing. ”
Xiahou still understood in seconds, and muttered: "This matter is very important, is the protector willing to play the Son of Heaven with me?" ”
Zhao Yan responded, and immediately wrote a recital with Xiahou Shang and sent it to Xudu jointly.
Worried about Cao Xiu's personal safety, Zhao Yan immediately went to Tianxin's camp with an apricot yellow flag.
A lot of grass was lit on the battlefield, the Han knights paraded and guarded, and the unarmored Han infantry had come out of the camp to clean up the battlefield, the wounded Wei soldiers who could move on their own were trying to climb to the Han army camp, and those who could not move were gathered together on the spot, and the Wei army that had not been snatched away by the robe was also gathered in a bunch.
If the negotiation goes well, these seriously wounded and killed Wei troops can be handed over directly to the Wei army, and there is no need to spend energy to cut off the head.
In the area of the daytime battle, the moonlight was shrouded, and the Han army was still searching for the wounded soldiers of the enemy and collecting the corpses of the dead.
When Zhao Yan arrived at Tian Xin's camp, he happened to see Cao Xiu, Yu Ban, Zhuge Qian and other captured generals sitting by the bonfire with their heads down, and the middle and low-level military officials of the Han army all had military affairs, only Ma Chao, Guan Ping, and Pang Lin were present, and Tian Xin was bathing, and the wound was bandaged by the military doctor.
Ma Chao's three expressions were gloomy, as if they had lost a battle, which made Zhao Yan a little embarrassed to speak.
