Chapter 249: What's the Matter About Death?
Late at night, the starry sky is bright and the moon is high.
The earth fell silent, and only the chirping of insects from nowhere made the night even more wonderful.
Suddenly, the ground seemed to tremble, and the insects around it quickly disappeared.
The sound of dense horses' hooves came like waves, getting louder and louder.
A moment later, countless cavalry appeared here, like a gust of wind skimming by, quickly disappearing...
Cao Ren took the lead and galloped in the direction of Gangneung.
He had been running like this for several hours, and he had been doing so ever since he left the Cao army's camp.
Except for a short break, the rest of the time, I was in a hurry.
He had only one goal, to catch Lu Xun with his own hands and bring him back to Cao Cao.
He seems to have forgotten Cao Cao's orders.
The previous two failures made him arrogant and shameless to face Cao Cao again.
Before he went to see Cao Cao, he had already thought about it.
Even if the other party doesn't kill him, he will apologize with death.
It's not about life and death anymore, it's his dignity.
And now, since Cao Cao gave him a chance, then he had to use everything to accomplish it.
As for the rest, he didn't want to think about it anymore.
Or, he died in battle! Either catch Lu Xun and make the credit for the crime.
Although, he knew very well in his heart that the probability of the latter was almost zero.
But this is enough, it is much better to die on the battlefield than to be beheaded.
Thinking of this, Cao Ren's eyes were firm, and he whipped his horse again, and his speed became faster...
…
Gangneung front, the camp of the Wu army.
It was late at night, and the whole camp was silent.
There didn't seem to be any sound, not even a torch.
Cao Ren looked at it from a distance, his brows furrowed deeply.
It looked like an empty camp, and there was no one at all.
But the military newspaper said, isn't there a war here?
Could it be that Lu Xun has been eliminated by Wei Yan?
Thinking of this, Cao Ren also smiled, this is simply impossible.
You must know that this time Sun Quan has made a bloody investment.
After being silent for a long time, Cao Ren still decided to send someone to take a look.
"Ma Yi!" Cao Ren turned around and spoke softly.
"The last general!"
A black-armored military division quickly stepped forward and came to Cao Ren's side.
"You take someone to investigate!"
"Yes!" Ma Yi didn't hesitate and turned away.
Visiting a camp like this is tantamount to sending them to death, and if the other party has any traps, these people will never come back.
A moment later, I saw dozens of people taking advantage of the night to quietly head towards the barracks.
Cao Ren looked carefully ahead without blinking.
He also knew in his heart that there was a good chance that these people would never come back.
However, this is also their role, if they can fish each other, they can be regarded as worthy of death.
Time passed breathlessly, and there was no movement in the barracks ahead.
The sergeants who had gone to explore the camp also seemed to have disappeared.
It was as if the barracks were a huge net.
Just walk in and don't come out again.
"That's not right! Problematic! Cao Ren muttered in a low voice.
After a few more breaths, he no longer hesitated, and after giving the command, he stepped back.
Even if he came with the determination to die this time, he was willing to take risks.
Desperate to die in battle, and looking for death, are two different concepts.
But at the moment when he ordered him to retreat, the sergeant beside him shouted.
"Look, General! They're back! ”
Cao Ren paused, his eyes froze, and he looked forward.
Sure enough, the dozens of sergeants were quickly walking out of the barracks and heading here.
After a while, they returned here, and Ma Yi was the first to come to Cao Ren, clasping his fists and saying.
"General, it's indeed an empty camp, and there is no one in it.
Strangely enough, though, everything in the barracks is still there.
Including grain and grass and siege equipment, even the military flag has not been taken away! ”
"Are you sure you can see clearly?" Cao Ren didn't quite believe his ears.
"Pretty sure! The last general even went to the water village to have a look, and the same is true!
Everything was still there, as if they hadn't intended to ask for it! ”
Listening to Ma Yi's narration, Cao Ren was a little confused.
He has led his troops to fight for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a situation.
The barracks were intact, but they withdrew without anything.
This kind of operation, at least he can't do it, and he can't understand it.
In the end, he personally led the army into the camp of the Wu army.
Everything in it is exactly the same as Ma Yi's narrative.
Abundant supplies and siege equipment were all stored intact.
It seems that the other side is obviously preparing for a protracted war, but now it is like this.
"What the hell does this Lu Xun want to do?" Cao Ren narrowed his eyes and looked at everything in the barracks.
After inspecting the barracks, he quickly wanted to head towards the water village.
You must know that Dongwu is famous all over the world, but their water army.
However, next, a scene that shocked Cao Ren still happened.
Not only did the other side not take away the military supplies, but even the warships did not move.
Countless warships lined up on the river, and battle flags fluttered.
The entire water village is also the same as the military camp, empty.
It floats silently above the river, shrouded in darkness.
"I'd like to see what you're up to!"
A cold light flashed in Cao Ren's eyes, no matter what conspiracy the other party was engaged in, these materials and warships were real.
Then let them play their last value!
"Someone! Burn all the supplies and ships to me! ”
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding sergeants quickly moved into action.
Countless torches were lit to illuminate the dark waterhouse.
For a while, the fire was pervasive, especially in the dark night.
At the moment when the torch was lit and illuminated the water village, a sudden change occurred.
Countless torches lit up at the same time on the river in the distance.
Not only that, but torches were also lit around the camp on the shore.
"Hit the mark!" Cao Ren scolded secretly and shouted that it was not good!
led everyone to quickly retreat, but unfortunately it was too late.
The encirclement of countless torches quickly shrank.
From the river to the land, Cao Ren's army was surrounded.
Cao Ren's eyes were red, he drew his sword, and was about to roar out in anger.
At this moment, he saw Wei Yan on the coming warship, with his hands behind his back.
It was only then that he understood why Lu Xun had left everything here.
"General Cao, we're meeting again!"
A moment later, Wei Yan walked ashore with the army.
"The general did not let his subordinates die and did a senseless struggle, but he deeply admired his subordinates!"
Cao Ren sighed, if he was surrounded by Lu Xun, he would definitely break through with all his might.
"I know that as long as they surrender, you won't embarrass them!
I'm already a sinner, there's no need for them to die for me anymore! ”
After speaking, in Wei Yan's stunned, Cao Ren held the saber in his hand and put it across his neck.
He smiled miserably at Wei Yan: "You remember! I didn't die at your hands! ”
Immediately, the right hand was violently forced, and blood splattered!
Cao Ren's body slowly fell, and he took one last nostalgic look at the bright starry sky and closed his eyes.
A generation of famous generals, this is the end...
