Chapter 423: Zhuge Ling

Yu Ban, the old subordinate who defected to him when he raised troops and crusaded against Dong Zhuo, actually died like this?

Not only did he die, but even Ximen was taken by Su Zhe!

This means that Su Zhe's army of this kid can enter Jucheng unimpeded, which means that the city under his feet is difficult to defend, and he will be defeated by Su Zhe again.

Humiliated again!

"Su Zhe, what means did you use to sneak into my Jucheng, did you fly in with wings, why?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, hated and frightened, and fell into a situation of losing his sense of proportion for a while.

"Kill Cao Cao—"

"Kill Cao Cao—"

The earth-shattering sound of killing came from the west, approaching rapidly, Cao Cao woke up suddenly, looked up, and saw that in the direction of the west, countless Soviet soldiers and soldiers were already surging towards this side like a tide.

Cao Cao was annoyed and ashamed, drew his sword and shouted: "Order all the armies, do not retreat, recapture the West Gate for me, and drive the enemy army out of Jucheng!" ”

The left and right generals will not change color.

All the generals know that the current situation has reached a point of no return, and there is no choice but to abandon the city and retreat north.

Who would have thought that Cao Cao was deeply enraged, and some lost his mind, and even fought to the death.

The generals had no choice but to muster up their spirits and urge the soldiers to push back along the streets, trying to drive the Soviet army out of the city.

At this moment, a group of men and horses in front rushed over, leading the spear like the wind, wantonly harvesting the lives of Cao's soldiers.

Cao Cao swept his eyes and immediately recognized that the enemy general turned out to be Zang Ba.

In an instant, the anger in Cao Cao's heart rushed to his head, and he stepped forward and scolded: "Zang Ba, you ungrateful and shameless traitor! ”

Zang Ba, who was in the frenzy, also recognized Cao Cao, and the blood-stained spear pointed at him, and scolded: "Cao Cao, if I hadn't surrendered to you, how could your army have successfully entered Xuzhou, what kindness do you have to me, it's because I have kindness to you!" ”

Cao Cao changed color suddenly, but he didn't expect that Zang Ba was not only not ashamed, but also dared to ridicule each other.

He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he wanted to open his mouth to scold again, but Zang Ba scolded: "Cao thief, I entrusted the entire Langxi County to you, but you only cared about running for your life, and abandoned the Kaiyang City that I worked so hard to manage, you treat me like this, can I Zang Bayan not betray you!" ”

"Traitor, you-you-" Cao Cao was so angry that his teeth trembled, and he couldn't scold.

Zang Ba raised his voice an octave, and then scolded: "Cao thief, let me tell you, I dug a tunnel in Jucheng a long time ago, and it was my strategy to offer to the general, sneak into Jucheng from the tunnel, seize your west gate, and kill your general!" ”

Truth!

Cao Cao's figure shook suddenly, and he suddenly understood why the Su thief was able to sneak into Jucheng like a divine soldier descending from heaven when he was in such a well-defended city.

It turned out that the culprit of everything turned out to be Zang Ba, a traitor.

He didn't expect that this traitor would dig a tunnel in Jucheng in advance, and this tunnel happened to be used by Su Zhe to break his city.

"Traitor surnamed Zang, you-ah-"

Cao Cao was so angry that he suddenly had a head stroke and was so painful that he covered his head and screamed, and almost fell off the horse.

Cao Ren on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to barely hold Cao Cao.

At this time, Zang Ba no longer talked nonsense, slapped his horse and danced his knife, and rushed towards Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao looked at Zang Ba, who was showing off his might, and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Kill him for me, kill that shameless traitor for me-"

On the side, Cao Ren persuaded: "Meng De, that traitor will be killed sooner or later, but now in this situation, the general trend has gone, there is no need to fight again, otherwise we will be wiped out in this Jucheng, and everything will be over by then." ”

Cao Cao's body was shocked, and his impulsive anger weakened slightly.

At this time, Guo Jia also flew over, and sighed helplessly: "Lord, the sky is not as good as the people, who would have thought that the traitor would dig a tunnel in advance, this time the defeat was really an accident, the lord must not be rash, but also focus on the overall situation." ”

The sentence "the overall situation is important" suddenly woke Cao Cao up from his impulsive anger.

His fist clenched until it clicked, and he watched Zang Ba show off his might under his nose, killing all sides, and hated so much that he was about to crush a steel tooth.

In the end, he still swallowed the bad breath.

After taking a deep breath, Cao Cao sighed gloomily, brushed his hand and said: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and order the whole army to abandon the city and retreat north immediately." ”

The generals on the left and right all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly hugged Cao Cao and withdrew in the direction of the north gate.

The soldiers and soldiers of Cao, who were still resisting stubbornly, also turned around and fled one after another as if they had been granted amnesty.

Cao's army retreated, and the Soviet soldiers, under the leadership of Zang Ba, were chasing all the way.

At dawn, Cao Cao finally escaped through the north gate.

He turned his head and looked at Jucheng farther and farther away, his scorched face was unwilling, and he secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Su Zhe, if it weren't for Zang Ba's traitor this time, how could you easily take the city, if you have the guts, you will come to attack my Qingzhou, next time, I will never let this kind of fluke happen again!" ”

After secretly swearing, Cao Cao didn't dare to hesitate for half a minute, and fledged in embarrassment with a few whips.

At daylight, the battle was over.

The fire has been extinguished, and the whole city is filled with foul-smelling gunsmoke.

Su Zhe rode his horse all the way from the west gate to the north gate, and there were corpses left by the enemy army everywhere along the way, and it was estimated that there were at least four or five thousand.

"Cao Cao, how does it feel to defeat me again......" Su Zhe sneered in his heart.

Arriving at the north gate of Jucheng, Zang Baxing, who was stained with blood-stained robes, rushed to meet him, and arched his hand: "Lord, the four gates of Jucheng have been controlled by us, the enemy has suffered 5,000 casualties, and nearly 3,000 people have been killed, and the Cao thief has lost almost half of his troops. ”

Su Zhe was very satisfied with this result, nodded and smiled: "Okay, Zang Xuangao, the first merit of this battle belongs to you, I hereby announce in the name of the imperial court that you will be appointed as the Lang Evil Taishou." ”

Zang Ba was overjoyed, fell to the ground busily, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the lord's trust in the last general, the last general will definitely go to the soup for the lord, and he will never give up." ”

Su Zhe helped him up with his own hands, smiled and comforted: "I, Su Zhe, have always had clear rewards and punishments, these are what you deserve, go down and rest, nourish your spirits, and wait to continue the northern expedition with me, and take advantage of the situation to capture Qingzhou!" ”

Zang Ba was comforted by the reward and retired happily.

Su Zhe ordered to stop the killing, pacify the people of Ju County on the spot, treat the wounded soldiers, and recuperate.

Juxian has been lowered, this is already the northernmost city of Xuzhou, and the next step is to enter the territory of Qingzhou.

Although Cao Cao was defeated, once he fled back to Qingzhou, he would be able to get a supplement of soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and fight at home, needless to say, the advantage.

If Su Zhe wants to take Qingzhou in one go, he must make full preparations, in addition to waiting for the follow-up grain and grass and the reorganized soldiers, he must also let his soldiers recuperate.

After all, since he attacked Qu County, the soldiers have been fighting for more than several months, fighting nearly 800 miles from north to south, and after several major battles, their physical strength has reached the limit.

That night, Su Zhe took all the wine and meat from the Juxian Treasury Mansion and rewarded the meritorious soldiers of the three armies.

The Soviet soldiers who survived the bloody battle drank to their heart's content, ate meat, sang and indulged in wine, and carnivaled wantonly, and the entire Jucheng was shrouded in laughter and laughter.

In the hall of the county government, Su Zhe also had a drink with the generals.

As the first hero of this battle, Zang Ba naturally became the protagonist of this celebration banquet, and the generals took turns drinking with him, making Zang Ba a big drunk.

Su Zhe drank almost enough, so he let the crowd continue to drink wildly, and he himself took the first step to return to the inner mansion.

The generals can indulge wantonly, but he, a general, can't, after all, there are still court documents full of cases, waiting for him to give instructions, and it is rare to have a moment of space at the moment, he has to hurry up and give a few more instructions.

After drinking the sobering soup, Su Zhe cheered up and sat on the desk for more than an hour, and finally completed the correction.

He stood up, stretched, and looked up at the sky, which was already the moon on his eyebrows.

It was because of the drunkenness, or maybe the victory today had made him too excited, and he didn't even want to sleep at this moment.

So he walked through the county government, enjoying a moment of quiet, and a rare leisure to admire the moonlight.

Walking into a courtyard, he faintly heard a woman's sigh, Su Zhe looked up, but saw a woman in blue, standing under the osmanthus tree, looking at the bright moon above her head in a daze, sighing faintly.

It's Zhuge Ling, the sister of Zhuge Liang, the genius of the unicorn.

Su Zhe suddenly remembered that since he "robbed" her three sisters and brothers from Langxie, he hadn't spoken to her much.

At that moment, Su Zhe stepped forward and asked with a smile: "In the middle of the night, Miss Zhuge doesn't sleep, but sighs here, isn't there something sad in my heart." ”

Zhuge Liang's body was shocked, and when he turned around and saw that it was Su Zhe, he was busy putting away the sadness on his face, and Ying Yingfu saluted: "Ling'er has seen the general." ”

"There are no outsiders here, and Miss Zhuge doesn't have to be formal." Su Zhe flicked his hand.

Zhuge Ling straightened up, but she still didn't dare to look at Su Zhe, always maintaining a little respect, obviously afraid of him.

Su Zhe was also used to being afraid of him by others, and he didn't mind, so he said, "Miss Zhuge hasn't answered my question yet." ”

Zhuge Ling's face was stunned, she bit her lip, but said, "The general wants to hear the truth, or is it a lie." ”

"Of course it's true." Su Zhe's eyes were a little strange, he didn't expect her to ask like this.

Zhuge Ling sighed bitterly: "Our sister and brother are under house arrest by the general, and we are naturally depressed in our hearts, and it's normal to feel sad." ”

"It's true." Su Zhe nodded, but sighed: "I know that you are not happy in your hearts, but there is no way to do it, who let this be a troubled world, who made your good brother have to go against me." ”

Zhuge Ling sighed again.

Su Zhe sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and motioned for Zhuge Ling to sit down as well, she didn't dare not sit, so she could only sit down carefully.

Su Zhe personally poured a glass of water for her, and said, "Tell me about your younger brother Zhuge Liang." ”

"Liang'er?" Zhuge Ling hesitated, "I don't know what the general wants to know about Liang'er?" ”

Su Zhe said: "Needless to say about his talent, I know very well, you can talk about his ambition, his character, what kind of person he is, and what kind of psychology he is out of, so that he will choose to follow a down-and-out Liu Bei."
