Chapter 6 The Mountains and Rivers of the Curtain 3. Re-enter the Tiger's Mouth

The lights were flickering, and there were only Cao Cao and Zou Li in the room at this time.

"Won't Madame sit?" Cao Cao sat leisurely and smiled.

"In front of adults, don't dare."

"Hehe, don't be restrained. Speaking of which, General Zhang Ji and I are also old acquaintances. ”

"The early death of my late husband is always saddened whenever I mention it." This is indeed the pain in Zou Li's heart.

"I wonder what's the matter with Madame?"

After all, what should be asked is still to be asked. Earlier, Zou Li came to Cao Cao's residence under the escort of Lei Xu and a group of men, saying that he had something to talk to Cao Cao alone.

Originally, Dian Wei and the others were not worried about letting the two of them alone, but Cao Cao didn't care, and they had to retreat to the courtyard.

Lei Xu and the others were also waiting at the entrance of the courtyard in an orderly manner.

It's just been in for a long time, and Zou Li didn't speak, if Cao Cao didn't ask, he was afraid that he would have to spend it like this tonight.

"I want to ask the adults to take it away."

"Oh? What does Madame mean by this? ”

"After my husband left, I have been alone. Originally, Zhang Xiu was polite to me, but recently, he had some thoughts. I was terrified, but I couldn't do anything. Fortunately, Lord Cao is here today, please save me. ”

"Hehe, how to save the law?"

"If you don't give up...... I would like to be a concubine and serve the adults in the morning and evening. ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile, and looked at Zou Li carefully with interest.

Although she is a widow, she is well maintained, and she can be regarded as a bit of beauty.

"Have you ever heard of one, madame?"

Cao Cao did not answer, but changed the subject.

"Who?"

"Diao Chan."

"I've heard a little."

It's not just a little heard! Diao Chan, that is, Ren Ying, is also a legendary woman in the entire night forward.

"Did you know...... Why did Dong Zhuo kill her in the first place? ”

"I don't know."

"There are two reasons for this. On the one hand, she made Lu Bu a childlike child; ...... two," Cao Cao said, getting up and walking in front of Zou Li, holding her face with one hand, "She assassinated Dong Zhuo." ”

"In this way, this woman is a hero." Zou Li was not afraid, and just looked at Cao Cao and replied.

"Actually, Dong Zhuo didn't get angry because he was stabbed, with my understanding of him, I'm afraid that what he is really angry about is Diao Chan's pathetic."

"What's so sad about it?"

"A woman, but she was involved in open and secret fighting, and became a man's murder weapon."

Zou Li was shocked, but she still remained calm, "If you say that, she is indeed a little sad." ”

"Now that I have received the Son of Heaven, some people have compared me to Dong Zhuo. Hehe, speaking of which, although I don't agree with Dong Zhuo's way, I have the same opinion on this matter. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's smile became even bigger, and he grabbed Zou Li's left and right forearms with both hands at the same time, carrying them behind Zou Li. Then, he lowered his head and looked at Zou Li's chest that was a little nervous and shy.

"It's a pity to be such a beautiful woman."

After speaking, Cao Cao suddenly exerted his strength, Zou Li groaned in pain, and at the same time, the two daggers that had been quietly pulled out also fell to the ground.

"It seems that tonight, I have no chance to sleep with my wife."

"Bang!" Cao Cao knew how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but he was never soft on the assassins. After saying something just now, he immediately pulled Zou Li's arms outward, and at the same time flew up and kicked her in the lower abdomen.

Zou Li was so carried by this power that he hit the wall directly, and the sound of the fight also alarmed everyone outside.

Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Wei Tao kicked open the door and came in, and when they saw this scene, they immediately understood what was going on.

At the same time, Lei Xu and his men also took action. Lei Xu ordered the two to report the news, and then led the rest of the men to kill the house.

Their purpose was naturally Zou Li, and Dian Wei also found out about this, so he stepped forward and grabbed Zou Li as a hostage.

This move is indeed effective, and Lei Xu is not easy to press too hard. After all, the four of them have a deep relationship, and what happened to Zou Li made Lei Xu a little dilemma.

It's just that this kind of futile attrition is meaningless, Dian Wei had no choice but to use Zou Li as a hostage, and open the way while forcing the enemy back.

At this moment, shouts of killing also sounded in the city, and Zhang Xiu's men and horses were constantly coming.

Fortunately, they had already left the courtyard, and the subordinates outside were confronting the Zhang Xiu soldiers who had arrived.

Cao Ang and Wei Tao each led a team of men to open the way in front at Cao Cao's signal, while Cao Cao followed behind under the protection of Dian Wei.

It's just that, after all, there are not many people entering the city, and the battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Cao Cao.

In a hurry, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ang and Wei Tao to go first, seize the city gate, and let his own people enter the city to respond.

Cao Ang and Wei Tao did not hesitate, this is the only way now.

But there were too many enemy troops in the city, and their ranks were gradually scattered.

However, Wei Tao relied on the experience he had honed in Qingzhou and finally succeeded in rushing to the city gate, and after killing the defenders, he opened the city gate.

Not far from the gate was in ambush Guo Jia's soldiers and horses, and when he saw the city gate wide open, he hurriedly stepped forward to respond.

It's just that Jia Xu also has arrangements, and there are a lot of archers on the city tower.

Under the dense shroud of arrows, the Cao soldiers could only cover the slow approach.

……

In the end, the pre-ambushed Cao army finally opened the gap and took Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Wei Tao and others out.

Gasping and running out of the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord, Zhang Xiu really has a different heart." Yu Ban looked at Zhang Xiujun, who gradually stopped shooting in the city, and said hatefully.

"Fortunately, Fengxiao told me in advance how to get out, otherwise Zhang Xiu would have succeeded today. Has Bonghyo already set off? ”

"Yes, he's been gone for a long time."

Guo Jia, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu left with some of their men shortly after Cao Cao entered the city.

Their goal is the direction of Jingzhou.

Because when he arrived near Wanxian, Guo Jia had already arranged for sentinels to go to investigate, and as he expected, Liu Biao sent a team of soldiers and horses to be stationed thirty miles away from Wanxian.

And Guo Jia and others are going here to stop this army of soldiers and horses.

Perhaps it was precisely because the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou did not arrive that Zhang Xiu did not recklessly chase out of the city.

Just when everyone was counting the people, Yu Ban suddenly shouted: "Lord! You see! ”

Cao Cao followed the direction of his finger and looked at the city, and his heart was also shocked.

Cao Ang!

Yes, Cao Ang didn't succeed in killing, but encountered the Bee Soldiers.

Under the attack of the poisonous needle with a paralyzing effect, Shen Rong easily captured Cao Ang.

Zhang Xiu naturally wouldn't kill him, because he still had to be used to save people.

"Cao Cao!" Zhang Xiu shouted at the head of the city, "Look who this is!" ”

"Zhang Xiu! Thou hast no faith, and thou hast taken revenge, and I vow to kill thee today!" ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that the son will fall to the ground first." As he spoke, Zhang Xiu pulled out his sword and drove it to the neck of Cao Ang, whose face was covered with blood.

"Look who this woman is!" Dian Wei pushed out Zou Li, who had already been tied up.

Zou Li didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.

Several subordinates in the city were a little anxious in an instant, especially Xu Yuan, who saw it in his eyes, and was so anxious that he couldn't wait to jump down immediately.

It's just that Shen Rong turned around and signaled them to calm down with his gaze.

"Cao Cao, if you want him to live, let Madame go!" Jia Xu opened his mouth on the side.

"You let Ang'er go first!"

"Hehe," Shen Rong stepped forward, stretched out his hand to grab Cao Ang, and pushed half of his body out of the battlement, "She's just a subordinate under me, and she's dead, but Gongzi ......"

Although it was acting, Xu Yuan was still a little angry.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, then agreed: "Okay! Then you and I will release it at the same time. ”

"I've already said it, she's just a division," Shen Rong said with a smile, "If Cao Ang wants to live, you will personally send Madam Zou into the city to change!" ”

"Don't think!" Dian Wei exclaimed angrily.

Shen Rong kept smiling, but his hand loosened, and Cao Ang almost fell off the city.

"I promise you!" Cao Cao responded.

The generals immediately objected, but Cao Cao still insisted on going.

No one could stop him, so everyone had to accompany him to the back to put on his armor.

"My lord, you are the commander of the three armies, you must not be in danger." Cheng Yu still tried to dissuade him.

"Boom!" No one expected that before Cao Cao could reply, he was hit the back of the head and fainted.

"Don't you know the character of the lord?" The person who did it turned out to be Wei Tao.

"Wei Tao, what are you going to do!" Dian Wei scolded angrily while checking Cao Cao's situation.

"Lord Cheng is right, the lord really can't be in danger, but his subordinates can."

As he spoke, Wei Tao picked up Cao Cao's dropped helmet and put it on his head, "I pretended to be the lord and went to rescue the son." ”

"But ......"

In the current situation, there is nothing to do.

Wei Tao and Cao Cao are about the same size, it is night now, and they can't see the difference when they are far away.

But there is only one chance, and if you fail, it's all over.

Dian Wei saw that Cao Cao was fine, so he slowly got up and came to Wei Tao, "I'll go with you." ”

"General Dian doesn't have to ......," Wei Tao's words were stopped by Dian Wei's wave of his hand.

"I am the personal guard of the lord, if I don't go, Zhang Xiu will be suspicious."

Indeed, the "lord" must not be allowed to enter the city by himself.

So, in the end, it was agreed that Dian Wei would escort Zou Li into the city with Wei Tao, and the other generals would be ready to answer at any time.

After draped neatly, Wei Tao hid his face in the shadow of his helmet and walked towards the slowly opening city gate accompanied by Dian Wei.

At this time, they also had Cao Cao's feelings at that time, the gate of this black hole was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast.

Inside the city gate, countless soldiers of Zhang Xiu's army were standing on both sides of the road, and in the middle were Zhang Xiu, Shen Rong, Jia Xu and others.

Cao Ang has also been brought down, and he is being watched by Lei Xu at this time.

"Whew!" Something that no one expected happened, Xu Yuan, who had been hiding among the soldiers on the left, suddenly made a move, and the snake-like chain thorns attacked Dian Wei directly.

Wei Tao and Dian Wei were both shocked, they didn't expect someone to suddenly attack.

Dian Wei hurriedly pulled out a halberd to block, but at the same time, Xu Yuan desperately threw Zou Li aside.

"It's alright, Li'er." Looking at Zou Li, whose hair was scattered in her arms, Xu Yuan finally smiled.

"I don't want Cao Cao to be such a coward!" Zhang Xiu scolded.

Accidents are inevitable. Because of Xu Yuan's attack just now, when Wei Tao was dodging, his helmet fell to the ground.

At this time, everyone saw clearly that he was not Cao Cao.

"In that case, don't blame me for waiting!" With a wave of his hand, Jia Xu immediately closed the city gate, blocking the soldiers who were about to rush in outside.

Seeing that the plan had failed, Dian Wei hurriedly rushed to Cao Ang to save him, but suddenly felt a strong wind hitting on the right side.

Instinctively, he ducked back, and a thick pillar of iron grazed his chest.

Hu Che'er!

Of course, Dian Wei knew this blade, and naturally knew who it was.

He hurriedly jumped two steps away and took a pose.

And Hu Che'er, as before, held the iron pillar steadily, and slowly turned his head to look at Dian Wei: "The generals of the Cao army, dare to fight with me?" ”
