With a whoosh, a Xiliang soldier on the official road was shot to death on a horse, and several black-clothed and black-armored soldiers quickly rushed to the official road from the dense forests on both sides and dragged the body of the Xiliang soldier into the forest.

"General, this is found from him." A soldier handed over the piece of bamboo he had found from the Xiliang soldier to Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen looked at the bamboo strips in his hand and arranged the bamboo strips in a certain order, just like the bamboo strips he got earlier, it was Han Sui who was urging grain and grass to Xianyang.

"It seems that they are already short of food and grass, and the prime minister's plan has succeeded." Cao Zhen pulled off his mask, turned over and got on his horse, "Pass the order to go down and continue to intercept and kill the Xiliang messengers from Chang'an to Xianyang." ”

Five thousand tigers and leopards, under the leadership of Cao Zhen, continued to march towards Xianyang.

"These guys are really fast." Cao Shuang got up from the bed, looked at the white paper sealed with blue cloth on the head of the bed and said to himself. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, looking at the contents of the white paper, this is the news that the black fish has detected Huang Yi's occupation of the island overnight.

The island was a nameless island, surrounded by cliffs that could not be approached by boats. You can only get to the island by ropes, but there is a gap in the northern part of the island, surrounded by land on three sides. Due to the tight guards, the landing agents could not get close there, so that gap was the most likely place to build ships.

Cao Shuang's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, thinking about how to land on the island. The landing of a large number of officers and soldiers on the island will inevitably alarm Huang Yi and them, thus startling the grass and snakes. Even if it is stormed, because of the limitations of the terrain, it will definitely cause huge casualties.

"Master, we have entered Muping County, and we will be able to reach Dongyuan Village tonight." The scar-faced man whispered next to Xu Shu.

After many days of running, Xu Shu lost a lot of weight. Xu Shu nodded, and let everyone go to rest.

"I don't know if Cao Shuang's kid has noticed it." Jia Xu leaned on, and the hair on his sideburns was already completely white.

Xun Yu's condition is not much better, a few new wrinkles have been added to his forehead, and his hair has changed from the original black and white to all white.

"General, Xianyang is ahead." A soldier followed behind Cao Zhen and reminded.

Cao Zhen raised his right hand, and the whole army stopped advancing. Cao Zhen pulled up his mask, turned over and dismounted, "All of them changed into the clothes of the Xiliang Army, and we mixed into Xianyang." The five thousand tiger and leopard knights dismounted, opened the cloth bag they brought, and changed the clothes of the Xiliang soldiers inside. After repelling the Xiliang Army last time, Zhong Xuan collected a lot of Xiliang Army clothes, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

"Look, what's that?" A Xiliang soldier on the Xianyang city wall saw an army approaching in the distance and slapped another soldier.

Another soldier stood on tiptoe, looked at the blurred figure in the distance, and hurriedly ran to report to Guo Feng, the guard of Xianyang.

The tall Guo Feng came to the city wall, looking at the army that was constantly approaching Xianyang, and did not dare to have a trace of carelessness. Guo Feng ordered martial law throughout the city to prevent a sneak attack by the enemy. After all, Xianyang City hoarded a year's worth of grain and grass from the 35th Army of the Xiliang Coalition Army. It was precisely because of Guo Feng's prudence that Han Sui sent him to Xianyang to guard it. When the distant army came to Xianyang City, the soldiers guarding the city of Xianyang breathed a sigh of relief, and all the people who came were dressed as Xiliang Army.

Looking at the suspended suspension bridge, the leader of the city frowned, "We are here to escort grain and grass, I don't know what this means?" ”

"I wonder which general's subordinate you are?" Guo Feng lowered his body and shouted loudly.

The leader was Cao Zhen, who had changed into the clothes of the Xiliang Army, and saw Cao Zhen shouting unhurriedly, "We are General Ma Chao's subordinates, and the grain and grass on the front line are in an emergency, so we were sent to escort some grain and grass back to help the emergency." ”

"What's the proof?" Guo Feng continued to ask, at this moment, the archers on the city wall are all aiming at Cao Zhen, as long as Guo Feng gives the order, Cao Zhen will become a hedgehog in an instant.

Cao Zhen took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and held it up to the people on the city wall, "This is General Han Sui's handwriting." ”

He put down the hanging basket from the city wall and took Han Sui's handwritten handwriting. Guo Feng looked at Han Sui's handwriting and confirmed that it was Han Sui's handwriting, so he was relieved to let down the drawbridge, open the city gate, and put Cao Zhen and his party into the city.

At the moment of entering Xianyang, the corners of Cao Zhen's mouth twitched slightly. Before this, Han Sui did send 2,000 people to Xianyang to escort grain and grass, but these 2,000 people all became the ghosts of the tiger and leopard riders. Cao Zhen attacked 2,000 people on the way, leaving not a single mouth alive. The leader wanted to destroy Han Sui's handwriting, but was split in two by Cao Zhen.

Guo Feng quickly prepared the grain and grass to be transported to the front line in Chang'an. At the time of the handover, Cao Zhen suddenly attacked the Xiliang soldiers guarding the granary, and the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry also attacked in an instant, frantically killing the Xiliang soldiers. By the time Guo Feng reacted, the fire had basically controlled the granary.

Under the desperate protection of the guards, Guo Feng did not become the ghost of Cao Zhen's knife. Cao Zhen rushed to kill in the Xiliang army, raising and falling with a knife in his hand, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Xiliang soldiers.

Looking at the wall of fire in front of him, Guo Feng was completely disillusioned at the moment, he knew that everything was over. Everything is over for the Xiliang Coalition Army, and the food that was brought to the front line before has been destroyed. Now Xianyang, which is a transit granary, has been attacked again, and all the stored grain has been burned, and then transporting grain from Liangzhou is obviously a drop in the bucket.

Guo Feng's brain was blank at this time, and his face was covered with tears. Several guards pulled Guo Feng, "General, let's go." This group of people is fierce, and the brothers are almost unable to resist it. "Ben wanted to say something. But Guo Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that this group of people would not be Ma Chao's people, but the soldiers who fled back would definitely splash this basin of dirty water on Ma Chao's head, Xiliang's internal grievances were too deep, not something he could say in a word, and this battle within Xiliang was inevitable.

"You guys go, leave me alone." Guo Feng broke away from the guard's hand and lifted the saber stuck in the ground.

"Lord, Guo Feng can't stand you." Guo Feng faced in the direction of Chang'an, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and then pointed a sword at his neck, blood splashed more than three feet high, at this moment Guo Feng saw when he met Han Sui for the first time. Guo Feng felt that his body was emptied, after so many years, he was tired, and he could finally rest and rest. Blood stained the saber red, and Guo Feng's body fell to the ground limply.

Cao Zhen looked at the sea of fire behind him, looked at Guo Feng, who committed suicide in front of him, and admired him very much, "If there is no war, maybe we will become friends." "The tiger and leopard cavalry was the elite of Cao's army, and it was a sneak attack, and the 20,000 defenders of Xianyang were disturbed by the fire, and Cao Zhen fled from Xianyang after throwing away 1,200 lives.

After a lapse of several hundred years, Xianyang once again found a fire. Hundreds of years ago, that fire burned away the emperor's dream of thousands of generations, and hundreds of years later, this fire burned out Han Sui's imperial hegemony in the Central Plains.
