Chapter 526: Choose Guo Huai
"Guo Huai?" Zhang Fei and Kou Feng were both puzzled.
"Yes, just choose Guo Huai!" Zhou Cang said firmly, "First, this Guo Huai is their person, and he can make Cao Bing in the city trust. Second, the three of us have a lot of acquaintances in Cao Jun, and it is difficult for us to come forward. Third, a certain talked with Guo Huai, and he had already sworn to General Ouyang Lie that he would take those subordinates to live, and loyalty would not be a problem. He is also familiar with military strategy, resourceful, and certainly feasible. This is also counted as his surrender. ”
Zhou Cang is the king's hidden general, he said so, he must be sure.
Zhang Fei thought for a moment and decided: "Then Guo Huai!" ”
Since Zhang Fei also agreed, Kou Feng had no opinion, so it was determined.
After a while, Guo Huai, who was dressed in a cloth robe, was brought in. He was not imprisoned and was in good spirits.
Zhou Cang handed Cao Peng's letter to Guo Huai, Guo Huai was a little puzzled, but he still took it and read it, but his face changed, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that the three generals plan to let Huai assist General Cao?" ”
The three of them suddenly showed a look of amazement in their eyes, they often couldn't understand how these scholars grew in their heads, and sometimes they talked about it, but in hindsight they always had a feeling of uncertain prophets. Now, Guo Huai in front of him is obviously a military general, but he also has this ability, I have to say that they are amazed and admired, but also have a deep sour feeling.
"It seems that General Guo is really a great talent, and I believe that he will be able to be reused by the king in the future! Yes, there are indeed plans, but it depends on the wishes of the general. Zhou Cang said sincerely, they gave Guo Huai enough sincerity.
For Zhou Cang, Guo Huai is very grateful, as Liu Yong's hidden general, but he has never been arrogant, does not fight for merit, and can still be a deputy general under Guan Yu with peace of mind, which really makes him admire. He is also the most admired of the generals he has known so far.
Guo Huai respectfully hugged his fists and said: "Where does General Zhou say, Huai knows that he has some talents, but he never dares to talk about great talents." However, if you can be appreciated by the king in the future, you will not forget the kindness of the three generals! ”
"So, is the general willing to risk his life?" Zhang Fei's loud voice sounded immediately.
Guo Huai immediately said solemnly: "Since you have served the king, you naturally have to contribute." The big husband is like a mountain, the king has what he needs, and he will not give up! Of course, in Xia and the family of General Ouyang, the king must be rescued safely. ”
Kou Feng said: "Since we dare to agree, it must be the king who will agree to do it." General Guo just rest assured! ”
Guo Huai returned the letter and asked, "Without further ado, Huai will immediately set off with Cao Peng's messenger!" ”
After a short time, the city gate opened slightly, and the two of them left the city at great speed, disappearing into the cold night wind.
The next morning, Cao Peng had an extra guard by his side, who was Guo Huai. But at this time, his face was slightly dark, his beard was full of cheeks, and he also wore an eye patch on his right eye, which greatly affected him, and his previous elegant temperament was gone, and I believe that even if people who know him see it, it is difficult to recognize. Cao Peng was also surprised when he saw it, and almost dropped his jaw.
Although Cao Peng didn't know why the Chu army would send a general, he believed that there must be a reason. He also knows a little about Guo Huai, and has a lot of ability, seeing Guo Huai's confident demeanor at the moment, Cao Peng felt a lot more relieved.
Just now, he ordered all the generals of the whole army and above to come to discuss the matter, and those who fail will be punished for disobeying the military order.
Guo Huai appeared at the door of the room: "Although the general acts according to the plan, everything is under control, and there will be no accidents!" ”
Cao Peng nodded, sat quietly on the main seat, and waited for the generals to come.
Soon, all the generals arrived one by one, and Zhang Rong was the last, with a happy face and a strong figure now in the first place among the generals.
"I don't know what the general's recruitment is about?" Zhang Rong intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Wang Cheng, a lieutenant on the other side, and secretly made a look. The two looked at each other, and then looked at each other again.
Cao Peng looked around, and suddenly his face changed, there were ten generals who came, and there was one less lieutenant Zhang Qi, who was originally under Zhang Rong.
Cao Peng's face suddenly became a little gloomy and said, "General Zhang, why didn't Zhang Qi come here?" ”
Zhang Rong was not surprised by Cao Peng's question, and replied lightly: "Zhang Qi has military affairs and is defending the city, if everyone comes over, what if there is an enemy situation and no one should deal with it, so he will be left behind." ”
Cao Peng glanced at Zhang Rong deeply, but Zhang Rong's eyelids drooped, and he couldn't see the slightest change on his face.
Cao Peng glanced at Guo Huai among the two sergeants guarding at the door, saw Guo Huai nodding, and then put down the topic and said directly: "I summoned you today for one thing!" ”
Cao Peng picked up the Cao Renzhu slip on the table and raised it high and said, "I just received the military order from General Zixiao!" ”
Cao Peng said and looked at a personal guard on the side, and the personal guard stepped forward to take the bamboo slip and read it aloud: "This time the battle against the rebel general Zhang Xiu, the main general Cao Peng's command is unfavorable, the overseer Zhang Rong is derelict in supervising the army, the loss of the army is broken, and the military prestige is damaged. ”
"Ahh
"What?" Zhang Rong couldn't believe his ears, why did things suddenly turn around, and he was going to be the first to die first?
"Impossible! When pigs fly! How could the general kill me? It must be you, it is you who tampered with military orders without permission, intending to rebel! Zhang Rong shouted, reached out and grabbed the saber at his waist, and roared at Cao Peng.
Cao Peng got up and sneered: "The military order is like this, you Zhang Rong can't go into battle, you only think about self-preservation, ignoring the safety of the army, the sin is heavy, no matter how much quibbling is useless!" Come on, give Zhang Rong to the general! ”
The others all retreated, and some wanted to exit the room but were stopped by Guo Huai and another guard with a sword. Hundreds of sturdy sergeants rushed into the door.
Zhang Rong was completely frightened and shouted: "Wang Cheng, He Yong, don't do it yet, but when!" ”
I saw that Wang Cheng and another lieutenant immediately drew their swords and were about to rush towards Cao Peng, Guo Huai rushed forward at a ghostly speed, and with a sword, he cut off the neck of the lieutenant named He Yong, and a bloody human head immediately rolled down.
Guo Huai didn't stop, and stabbed Wang Cheng with a sword again, Wang Cheng couldn't react, and was pierced through the heart by a sword, and immediately to the end, the blood suddenly stained a large area of the floor.
"Cao Peng, you ......" Zhang Rongqi's face turned pale.
Guo Huai killed Zhang Rong again, and Zhang Rong drew his sword in his hand and immediately counterattacked. He also fought on the battlefield, and his martial arts were not bad, but he blocked Guo Huai's sword.
"Why are you still stunned, kill Zhang Rong immediately, and those who do not obey will be guilty of the same crime as Zhang Rong!" Cao Peng ordered again with murderous intent.
