Chapter 852: Dead and alive

Cheng Feng bowed solemnly at Li Xinchen - mainly because one arm was injured, there was no way to give it up or make a move, so he could only bow slightly to show respect:

"The last general, Cheng Feng, fortunately did not disgrace his life!"

Li Xinchen immediately took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to support him, and looked up and down, except for the injury to his arm, it seemed that there was no other injury. Cheng Feng led the army to sneak into the city, which can be regarded as a battle of nine deaths, and it is already God's favor to be able to suffer only such a little injury.

Of course, Cheng Feng is like this, it doesn't mean that the soldiers around him are also like this, looking at Cheng Feng's side, there should be only three or four hundred people who can gather, and eight hundred soldiers enter the city and lose more than half, which really makes Li Xinchen's heart ache.

But no matter what, these soldiers are not made of iron, but this Xiangyang City is a real copper wall, and it is indeed unexpected to be able to take Xiangyang City in such a short period of time after paying these sacrifices.

"What's going on?" Li Xinchen pointed to Cheng Feng's wound.

"Let Zhou Gou's crossbowman take a bite, it's no big deal." Cheng Feng hurriedly said, and then turned around and pointed to the government behind him, "General, this is the Xiangyang government office, Cao Xiaoda led a team of remnants to retreat into the government office, and his subordinates did not dare to attack, and after sending people to block the exits everywhere, he scattered the brothers to the city gates. Just ······"

"Just what?" Li Xinchen frowned.

"It's just that now all the soldiers have returned, but there is no movement in this mansion, and the last general is worried about ······" Cheng Feng said helplessly at this time.

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Cheng Feng meant. Xiangyang City is an important stronghold carefully managed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and no one can guarantee that there will be no specially built secret passages in Xiangyang City, especially in this palace, so that the generals and officials in the government will escape when they encounter danger, not to mention that Cao Xiaoda entered the government almost immediately after being attacked, if he was not prepared, why did he do this?

Cheng Feng was a little annoyed, before he focused all his attention on how to disperse the enemies at the city gate, create chaos, and create conditions for the Bashu army to enter the city, after all, Cheng Feng did not have many troops on hand, in this case, of course, he should make the best use of everything.

Attacking a huge mansion with a high probability of ambushes and traps was obviously not a wise choice.

But now there is no movement inside, which makes Cheng Feng a little uneasy, maybe it was the best choice to catch Cao Xiaoda first at that time? If he let go of such a big fish as Cao Xiaoda, Cheng Feng could ask himself if he could bear the responsibility.

And Li Xinchen said in a deep voice at this time: "Li Ping, knock open the door!" ”

Li Ping immediately took a team of soldiers and walked away, and at the same time, Li Xinchen looked at Pei Zilie slightly: "Dashi, do you say you are dead or alive?" To go or to stay? ”

Pei Zilie smiled faintly: "Just look at it." ”

A few soldiers in front of him slammed the gate with a piece of wood that they had found out of nowhere, and at the same time, more soldiers simply put the ladder directly on the wall. Although the wall of the palace is high, it is not comparable to the city wall after all, and the ladder is almost flat on the wall, and the attacking soldiers don't even need to use their hands, as long as they don't step on the air.

"General, there's no one behind the gate!" One of the warlords stood on the top of the wall and said, and then flew down the high wall of the palace.

The door was quickly opened, Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie glanced at each other and walked in quickly.

One by one, the doors slammed open, and all the houses were empty, except for the messy official documents scattered all over the place.

Li Xinchen didn't squint and walked straight forward, as if he had already expected that Cao Xiaoda would not hide in the side rooms of these wings.

Sure enough, when a guard kicked open the door of the council hall, Li Xinchen saw the person he was looking for.

Several Northern Zhou soldiers gathered together and confronted the Bashu soldiers who rushed in fearlessly.

Cao Xiaoda was right behind them, sitting in the seat that belonged to him in the council hall, and the position of the coach was empty, obviously it was reserved for Wei Chi Yuan, Cao Xiaoda didn't want to offend, even if it was the last moment when his life might be left.

Sensing that someone was coming in, Cao Xiaoda opened his eyes with difficulty:

"Li Xinchen?"

There is no need for Li Xinchen to answer, this is the second time that Li Xinchen and Cao Xiaoda have met, the last time Cao Xiaoda accompanied Wei Xiaokuan to negotiate with Li Xinchen, talking about whether the army trapped in the Cangxi Valley can leave alive.

It was a complete fiasco, and the Northern Zhou lost control of Bashu and could only retreat to the front line of Hanzhong.

And now at this stop in front of him, even Cao Xiaoda has no chance to negotiate with Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen walked in and saw Cao Xiaoda at first sight, compared with the last time they met, Cao Xiaoda was obviously much older. Obviously, the defeat from Hanzhong to Xiangyang has also put Cao Xiaoda under a lot of pressure, especially in the recent Xiangyang offensive and defensive battles, Wei Chishun and Wei Chikuan, who have not yet grown up, are obviously difficult to take charge of themselves, Cao Xiaoda can really be said to be supporting alone, and the Yu Chi brothers are actually more of a helper.

More than 100,000 troops pressed the border, and there were few defenders in the huge city, which was almost unimaginable pressure for Cao Xiaoda.

Therefore, Li Xinchen still admires Cao Xiaoda from the bottom of his heart, if he were an ordinary person here, I am afraid that everything will only get worse, or he will not be able to hold on to it at all, and he will have already surrendered.

"What if······ The old man also arranged sufficient soldiers and horses at the north gate, even if it was just a few additional patrol teams, would all this be different? No matter how powerful the water ghosts you sent into the city, they can't fight with my Great Zhou soldiers with their bare hands, right? Cao Xiaoda was a little emotional.

"That's right." Li Xinchen did not deny this, and he did not let Li Ping, who was eager to try next to him, pounce on him, and seemed very interested in chatting with Cao Xiaoda, who was already at the end of his rope, at this time, "Originally, you don't have so many soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City, how can you dispatch it?" What's more, do you naively think that if you intercept these water ghosts, Xiangyang City will be able to defend it? ”

"Why not?"

"How?" Li Xinchen asked directly.

Cao Xiaoda was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, I believe that it is okay, but you are sure that it is not." I believe that it is because there is still a trace of luck in the situation in the north, and you know better than you that everything is going down and is irretrievable. ”

After a pause, Cao Xiaoda shook his head: "Shi Ye, life also!" ”

Li Xinchen did not speak this time.

The civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty had intensified, and the situation that Cao Xiaoda was looking forward to could not come after all, so Xiangyang City was destined to fall into the hands of Li Xinchen. This answer is very cruel, it has come to this time, since Cao Xiaoda has thought it out clearly, Li Xinchen will no longer repeat and emphasize.
