Chapter 112: Self-inflicted iniquity, do not live

Just when Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao and Liu Bei fled in panic.

Lu Su was also rushing towards Jingzhou at full speed, and both Liu Qi and Liu Bei were his targets.

He is more anxious than anyone else, Jingzhou is changing so fast. Some of them were beyond his imagination!

As early as the fifth year of Jian'an, he set up a plan for Sun Quan. The premise of building the emperor in order to map the world is to divide the world with Liu Biao and Cao Cao.

Now that Liu Biao has died of illness, Liu Cong has surrendered. Most of Jingzhou has belonged to Cao Cao.

Once Cao Cao gained a foothold in Jingzhou, he recovered the entire nine counties of Jingxiang. That will be a catastrophe for Soochow!

………

At will, Liu Cong's surrender, Cao's army entered Xiangyang City in a big way!

Xu Tian followed Xu Chu and Zhang He and rode on the horse. Slowly entering the city gate, surrounded by onlookers.

In the crowd, there was a gaze. kept staring at Xu Tian on the horse until his back disappeared.

"Let's go!" Yao Changfeng patted Yao Qing's head dotingly, pulled her around and left.

If Yao Qing didn't have to come to take a look, Yao Changfeng would not want to go out.

He had always remembered Xu Tian's words, and now the situation was turbulent. For a big family like them, it's best not to move around. I'll talk about it when I'm settled.

Until she walked far away, Yao Qing still kept looking back, watching Xu Tian disappear towards her...

………

Immediately after entering Xiangyang, Cao Cao convened a military council.

Above the lobby, Cao Cao walked back and forth.

"Cao Ren!"

"The last general!"

"You personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to capture Xinye. Carrying Liu Bei's head to see me! ”

A gloomy voice echoed in the lobby, and Cao Ren said yes. I turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment. Xu Tian, who was attending this kind of meeting for the first time, spoke.

"General Cao Ren, please stay!"

Xu Tian clenched his fists.

Cao Ren turned to look at Xu Tian, this person he had also heard of. However, in his opinion, this person is just a lip service. It's no different from those doctors!

And he also knew about Xu Tian and the Wang family before, when he knew that Xu Tian couldn't even protect his own woman. and spat with great disdain!

But at this time, after all, Cao Cao was present. And it seems that this person is quite serious, so he hugged his fist slightly.

"What's the matter with Mr. Xu?"

Not only the people around, but even Cao Cao looked at Xu Tian curiously.

"I just want to remind the general if Liu Bei has abandoned the city and fled. When the general enters the city, do not enter the houses and station! ”

"Oh?" Cao Ren sneered inwardly, but on the surface he was smiling. looked at Xu Tian and said. "Excuse me, sir, why is that?"

"If they abandon the city, they will leave an ambush in the house. If you rush into the house, you may be in danger! ”

Hearing Xu Tian's words, Cao Ren couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Sir's words, Cao Ren wrote down. But there is also a sentence below, I want to tell Mr.! At this, he paused deliberately. He looked at the people around him, and raised his voice violently.

"It's not dangerous to camp in this house. But even if there are rats or cockroaches or something, don't worry, sir. I, Cao Ren, will definitely take the lead and kill them all!! ”

As soon as Cao Ren's words fell, the hall burst into laughter.

Cao Cao frowned and coughed lightly.

"Don't go yet!"

Hearing Cao Cao speak, Cao Ren laughed and turned to leave.

Xu Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

……

By the time Cao Ren led his army to Xinye City, it was already an empty city.

Cao Ren was the first to come to the city and saw the city gate wide open. There seemed to be no one in the city, and he hesitated for a moment.

He looked back and yelled.

"A small team, visit the city!"

As soon as his voice fell, a team quickly rushed out behind him. Riding a fast horse, he quickly rushed to the city, and Cao Ren also stared intently at the city.

Soon after, the team reappeared. Straight to Cao Ren.

"General, the city is empty!"

The team leader arched his hand and spoke.

A moment later, Cao Ren pointed his big knife into the city.

"All the armies obeyed the order and entered the city !!"

Five thousand soldiers and horses quickly rushed into the city.

Cao Ren was the last to step through the city gates, at this moment. He couldn't help but think of Xu Tian's words, but they were only fleeting thoughts.

……

That night, the troops were stationed in the houses.

After making his usual rounds, Cao Ren returned to his room.

Looking at the quiet night outside the house, Cao Ren couldn't help but shake his head and sneer.

When I first entered the city, I was still a little hesitant. I felt that I might have listened to Xu Tian's advice, but now it seems. I'm glad I didn't do that.

If not, preach it. said that he entered an empty city and did not dare to enter the house and station, and he might have to laugh at how many people's big teeth would be laughed at.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Ren's contempt for Xu Tian deepened.

Late at night, there was silence in Shinno Castle. Only the clatter of the armor of the patrolling soldiers, and the sound of neat and uniform footsteps seemed to make people fall asleep quickly.

The dark night sky was full of dark clouds, and I don't know when. The trees in various parts of the city slowly began to shake, and the wind rose...

"Whoosh!"

With the sound of a feathered arrow, a flash of fire pierced the dark night sky and shot towards the city.

This was followed by countless rockets that rained down.

In an instant, the rooftops of the city were filled with flaming rockets.

On the beams of each house, flammable sulfur and other materials have already been placed.

In a matter of moments, countless houses burst into flames.

"It's on fire!!"

I don't know whose frightened voice broke the silence, and more and more people quickly shouted.

The roof leak happened to be rainy, and at this moment there was a strong wind.

The wind fueled the fire, and the fire spread rapidly.

The soldiers, who had just woken up from their sleep, ran around in a frenzy at a loss. Others didn't have time to rush out and were trapped inside the frantically burning houses. Burned alive, and the terrible screams were endless.

The whole of Shinno Castle was in chaos.

Cao Ren, who had just been lying down for a short time, was awakened by the noise outside.

His first reaction was, "Something's wrong!" ”

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the city that had turned into a sea of fire.

At this moment, he didn't have time to think too much, so he jumped on his horse and ran in the direction of the city gate.

But as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he found that the city gate was also burning.

I heard reports that only the east gate did not burn. Cao Ren didn't think about it, and rushed to the east gate with people.

The entire Xinye was already filled with flames at this moment, like purgatory.

Everyone rushed desperately to the only east gate that did not suffer.

On top of one sentence, there are countless deaths that have been knocked down and trampled.

Just when they rushed out of the east gate, they were in shock.

Zhao Yun led the army out of nowhere and went straight to Cao Ren.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the screams were repeated. At this last moment, countless lives burned out their last trace of energy and slowly dissipated.

In the end, Cao Ren fled in panic with only dozens of horses.

Cao Ren, who was covered in injuries and had a black and gray face, came to Xiangyang City.

It's like a world away, and I think of last night. He couldn't help but shudder, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered Xu Tian's words...
