Chapter 212: Divine Decree
Guan Yu seized the city gate in one fell swoop, and the Cao army naturally did not dare to step forward to fight again, and the Jingzhou army behind him immediately rushed into the city like a flood and started hand-to-hand combat with the defenders in the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Guan Yu slapped his horse forward and chased after Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu's mount was just an ordinary war horse, and he couldn't shake off the pursuit of the red rabbit horse at all, and was soon caught up by Guan Yu.
Cao Xiu saw that he couldn't escape, so he turned the horse's head to fight Guan Yu, Guan Yu raised his knife forward, and chopped it down with a knife, poor Cao Xiu was cut in half with his horse. Seeing that the Lord was about to be beheaded, the surrounding sergeants immediately dispersed, and those who could not escape immediately fell to their knees and surrendered.
The remaining three gates were also quickly breached, and Cao's army had no way out, except for some loyal and Cao Cao's stubborn resistance and was beheaded, most of them surrendered. Wancheng was then broken.
With a light tap of men and horses, more than 20,000 people of Cao's army were killed by 4,000 or 5,000 people, more than 2,000 people died under the catapult, and the remaining 13,000 or so all surrendered, and the main general Cao Xiu was beheaded. The Jingzhou army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the military general Wu Dun was beheaded. It's also a big win.
Liu Yong looked at Xiahoudun beside him and said, "How about Yuan Rangguan the soldiers under my command?" ”
Xiahoudun smiled miserably, hugged his fist at Liu Yong and said: "The soldiers under the command of Liu Gong use their lives, move forward bravely, and are unstoppable, they are indeed a heroic division, and in the future, there will be a place for Liu Yong in the world!" It's a pity that Meng De has run into an opponent like you, what a misfortune! ”
After taking Wancheng, the north gate of Jingzhou was secured, and now, the entire territory of Jingzhou is under the rule of Liu Yong. Liu Yong immediately ordered Guan Yu to be the Taishou of Nanyang, and Pang Ji, Zhou Cang, Bao Long, Mi Fang, Guan Ping, and Yang Hong came to assist.
Liu Yong entered the city and immediately arranged for Xu Shu to go out of the list and clean up the station. And some of the captured Cao soldiers and horses were selected to be disrupted and absorbed, and some were ready to be sent back to Xinye to be collected by Shangyong's Zang Ba and Xiangyang. At the same time, Wu Dun was buried and Zang Ba was summoned, after all, it was the general he brought, and he needed to be informed.
Everything was arranged safely, Liu Yong set up a celebration banquet to reward Guan Yu, Yin Li, Zhou Cang and other generals, and also offered a few glasses of thin wine to Wu Dun.
Wancheng was taken, and Liu Yong first took Kou Feng and 5,000 men and horses to escort more than 10,000 captives back to Xiangyang via Xinye, leaving Xu Shu to temporarily govern Nanyang.
Cao Cao has been in a bad mood these days, first half of Runan was captured by Liu Yong, the veteran Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, wounded, dead, the general Li Tong was captured alive, Hou Cheng surrendered to the enemy, was forced to Xuchang, and then Wancheng was besieged, Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, Li Dian The 80,000 army led by the three generals was defeated in Bowangpo, Xiahou Dunbao was captured alive, and now he received Wancheng was breached, Cao Xiu was beheaded by Guan Yu, his headache pathology department was committed, he avoided everyone, and rolled around in the room with his head in his hand, At the same time, there was the sound of artifacts being broken.
"Wen Lie! Yuan Jean! Wen Lie! Yuan Jean! ......" Cao Cao roared and kept shouting two names, making the scalp of those who heard it tingle. Only Guo Jia understood Cao Cao's pain, and asked everyone to withdraw from Laoyuan and quietly wait for Cao Cao to come out by himself.
Everyone also wanted to go in to see if Cao Cao had anything to do, but everyone present was Cao Cao's cronies, and naturally they all knew the truth about Cao Cao's murder in his dream, like Guo Jia and Xun Yu, who knew the truth about Cao Cao's murder in his dream, so no one dared to enter.
Everyone stayed awake all night until dawn on the second day, when they suddenly heard Cao Cao's voice in the room: "Fengxiao, Wenruo, you come in, everyone else retreats!" ”
Naturally, no one dared to disobey Cao Cao's order, and they all left according to their words.
The room was in a mess, the ground was littered with the remains of dead and broken tools, and Guo Jia and Xun Yu had almost no place to put their feet. I saw Cao Cao wearing underwear, sitting on the bed, with his hair scattered, like a madman.
"Lord, you ...... Have you ever been better? Xun Yu asked tentatively.
Cao Cao gently tussled his messy hair: "Hehe, are you frightened by the appearance of your true appearance?" It doesn't matter, Liu Yong does give me a headache, but it also makes Benxiang have to admire his courage and courage, and he dares to wave a knife at me Cao Cao, which can indeed be called a hero. He cut the road, injured Zhu Ling, captured Li Tong, and captured Yuan Rang, which was much stronger than Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and others, but he didn't lose his proportions.
Although Wen Lie is a pity, he beheaded other people's generals in front of Guan Yu and Liu Yong, Liu Yong and Guan Yu are both arrogant people, so they naturally want to return the color. Although Cao Xiu is loyal and brave, he can also be said to be stupid. If he didn't kill Wu Dun, at most, he would only be captured alive like Yuan Rang and Li Tong, and used as capital to negotiate with Ben, so that he would not die. ”
"What does the lord mean?" Xun Yu still didn't understand Cao Cao's thoughts.
Guo Jia smiled faintly and said: "The lord means to give Liu Yong what he wants, let him achieve his goal, because Liu Yong is worth it!" ”
Cao Cao laughed: "Haha...... The only one who knows me is Guo Fengxiao! Yes, although Liu Yong made me angry, it also made me see his value, what are those counties in Runan, those who become big things are not informal, but it is a pity that Cao Wenlie is alone! Let the emperor issue an edict to order Liu Yong to be the pastor of Jingzhou, to receive the post of governor of Jingzhou, and the governor of Jiangnan! You personally go to Xiangyang to spread the message, and also see what kind of character Liu Yong is! Then talk about how to get the corpses of Yuan Rang and Li Tong and Wen Lie back. ”
Xun Yu still didn't give up and asked, "Is it just the lord?" Let Liu Yong develop and grow bigger in race walking? ”
Cao Cao pointed at Xun Yu and rolled his eyes: "Xun Wenruo, you are in internal affairs, no one can match, but in terms of grasping the situation, you are really too bad." You don't want to let it go, do you still want to fight? What to fight, do you want Yuan Rang to die in Jingzhou? With our current situation, where can we still take care of Jingzhou. I just let him go for a while, took me to pacify Hebei, and hundreds of thousands of troops went south, why worry about Jingzhou's injustice! ”
Xun Yu was speechless by Cao Cao's questions one after another, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "The subordinates are stupid, don't blame the lord!" ”
Cao Cao waved his hand: "Go, go, go, go and do things!" ”
It's just that before Xun Yu arrived in Xuchang, Cao Cao received a letter from Cheng Yu, Liu Yong released hundreds of Cao army prisoners, and sent Cao Xiu's body back.
"How? Who else has Liu Yong's scheming? He can replace Liu Biao so quickly to sit in Jingzhou, it is really extraordinary! Cao Cao still praised the hostile Liu Yong, which surprised all the martial arts under his command, and it was very rare for Cao Cao to praise a person like this.
Five days later, at the court of Xudu, an edict was issued, appointing Liu Yong as the pastor of Jingzhou, leading the governor of Jiangnan, and ordering Xun Yu to go to Xiangyang to announce the decree!
