There were 10,000 soldiers on the periphery of Jiangling City, all of whom were natives of Jingzhou wearing heavy armor, who followed Xun Gang from Yiling to the outside of the city, all of them in good spirits; The first person was wearing a silver armor, and the bright silver spear and silver helmet in his hand reflected each other, and he was extremely heroic.

Under the sun, the silver armor exudes a dazzling brilliance, even more dazzling than the sun! Cao Xiu, Cao Chun and others in the city couldn't open their eyes, so they could only turn their heads to the side and shouted: "General Xun, you are not guarding in Yiling, why are you here?" ”

Xun Gang said: "The edict of the King of Wei is going to Huarong to greet him, but he doesn't want the general to stop him when he passes through Jiangling!" Please also ask the general to open the city gate quickly, don't delay the perfect opportunity to rescue King Wei! ”

Cao Xiu said in the city: "Although the King of Wei was defeated, I did not get the edict of the King of Wei to rescue, why did General Xun receive the edict even though he was far away in Yiling?" Don't worry about the general's plan to fall for Liu Bei and Sun Ce, so that the general can leave Yiling and take the opportunity to counterattack! ”

It's not that Cao Xiu is rigid, it's really that Xun Gang's behavior is too suspicious, and he actually led the army to surround Jiangling; If you just want to pass through this place, why do you need to surround Gangneung? This Xun Gang seems to be saving Cao Cao, but in fact it is more like taking the opportunity to rebel!

Cao Cao's previous suspicions didn't seem to be wrong, Xun Gang did have an antipathy; However, Xun Gang did not put his rebellious heart on the surface, so even if Cao Xiu had 10,000 tigers and leopards in his hands, he couldn't just fight Xun Gang.

"General Wen Lie is suspicious?" Xun Gang shouted, "If the general suspects that a certain family member is still in Jiangling City, the general can use him as a hostage to contain him!" ”

Although Cao Xiu is not upright, he still can't do such a thing as blackmailing women and children; What's more, he heard that the three women of Xun Gang's family were difficult to deal with, and he didn't want to be in trouble when Cao Cao came back.

"If the general really has the edict of King Wei, please make it clear below, and let him go!"

Xun Gang said: "How can the king of Wei come to the edict after the defeat of the army, what comes is just the envoy's message!" If the general doubts and refuses to let him go, then he can only take a small road to save the king of Wei, and if the hour is delayed, the general will be subject to military law! ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, Cao Xiu obviously hesitated, in case Cao Cao was to blame, the charge of delaying the military plane would definitely not be escaped; But if Xun Gang went without an edict, he was also guilty, which put him in a dilemma.

At this moment, an army suddenly ran from the east, looking like a remnant of a defeated army, and ran to the city to ask Cao Xiu to open the door; Cao Zhen at the east gate was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where are you waiting for the soldiers and horses?" ”

"General Hui, we are the soldiers of the King of Wei, and I fled with the King of Wei after the defeat on the river!"

Cao Zhen was overjoyed, it seemed that King Wei had successfully escaped, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is King Wei?" ”

"This ......"

The general who took the lead thought that he must not tell them about their abandonment of the king of Wei, so that they would be treated as deserters, so he pretended to cry and said: "King Gao Yi of Wei met Ma Chao's army in Huarong Road, and the king of Wei begged Ma Chao not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and let me go, but I am afraid that the king of Wei will ...... now."

They thought to themselves that Ma Chao had said before that he would only kill Cao Cao, then Cao Cao would definitely be dead, and no one would hold them accountable at that time.

Wei ...... You say the king of Wei ......"

Cao Zhen lost his mind for a while, he couldn't believe that what those people said was true, and he met Ma Chao in Huarong Dao...... This, isn't Cao Cao certain to die?

"Zidan, what's wrong with the East Gate?"

Ximen's Cao Chun walked over, seemed to be very annoyed by Ximen Xungang's entanglement, and then came over to change his mood, who would have thought that when he came over, he saw Cao Zhen's face pale, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly asked why, Cao Zhen said the words of those soldiers in a hurry, and then knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"How could King Wei die at the hands of such a young man?"

Cao Chun didn't believe it at all, so he wanted the soldiers in the city to punish the soldiers and horses outside the door as rumors, but he didn't want those people to cry sincerely, where did it look like a lie?

Now, Cao Chun had to believe it.

At the same time, Cao Xiu of Ximen also got the news, and he dared to be horrified, but he hurriedly asked Xun Gang outside the city: "General Xun, ...... the King of Wei?"

Xun Gang looked at his appearance and knew that Ma Chao had succeeded, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he was a little disappointed, after all, the fall of the hero Cao Cao would be regretted even by the real enemy.

"King Wei, what's wrong with him? There can't be any surprises, right? Xun Gang's fake play is really done, and the pain is deep to the bone, "I will ask you to open the door quickly and let us go, now that the King of Wei has an accident, what should you be guilty of?" ”

Cao Xiu was so ashamed that he was scolded, thinking that he really deserved to die, he was strict in wartime, but sometimes he should be simple; His negligence at this time actually cost Cao Cao's life!

I have become a sinner!

"How is King Wei now?" Xun Gang asked under the city.

Cao Xiu thought that he didn't know that the King of Wei was dead, and thought that he was just besieged or seriously injured, so he was helpless, so he ordered someone to open the city gate, invite Xun Gang into the city, and then go to Huarong Road to meet Cao Cao's body.

The west gate was wide open, and Cao Xiu personally went out of the city to greet Xun Gang, behind him were Cao Chun and Cao Zhen; These three were the main defenders of the entire Gangneung City, because only the tigers and leopards were stationed here.

Xun Gang led the troops into the city slowly, but when they arrived at the gate of the city, they did not dismount, Cao Xiu and the three of them did not know why, but they didn't expect Xun Gang to suddenly shout: "Left and right, take these three people down with me!" ”

The three of them were shocked, and Cao Xiu hurriedly asked, "Xun Gang, what are you going to do?" ”

"Delay the military plane, cause harm to the King of Wei, and you are innocent of death!" After saying that, he saw that the soldiers on the left and right were going to capture the three people; The soldiers defending the city hurriedly helped, but they didn't expect Xun Gang to suddenly shout: "If you help the three people, you will be punished for the same crime!" ”

Hearing this, those soldiers were instantly stunned in place, and the charge of delaying the military plane was not something they could afford, so they could only watch a dozen people detain Cao Xiu and send them to Jiangling Prison.

Xun Gang quickly took control of the entire Jiangling, and obtained Cao Ren's tiger and leopard cavalry talisman, found Lu Bu, and handed him the talisman; Xun Gang knew that Lu Bu still had a reputation among the tiger and leopard cavalry, and as Cao Cao's cronies, they might not obey their orders, so they could only let Lu Bu take command.

After taking Jiangling, Xu Shu asked: "Lord, there are soldiers who have fled from Cao Cao outside the West Gate, I don't know ......."

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think should be?"

Xu Shu shook his head, he didn't know Xun Gang's mind at all.

Xun Gang pondered for a moment and said: "These people are in battle to betray the master, although it is their nature, but they cannot escape the death penalty...... It's just that I also ordered Meng Qi not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and I must not violate this law...... Let these people strip off their military status and let them go back to their hometowns to farm! ”

"That's a good thing!"

For this solution, Xu Shu agrees very much, which not only removes the hidden danger, but also does not lose his reputation.

"Lead people to transfer Xingba's troops back, and then send an envoy to recall Meng Qi and order him to be stationed in Yiling; At this moment, he is not suitable to appear in Gangneung...... As for Cao Cao's corpse, you lead people to bring back a coffin and bring a few more, I think there may be a lot of dead people there......"

"Yes!"

Cao **, Xun Gang has no worries, and he thinks of the kneeling hatred back then, but now it's just Erer! To be honest, Xun Gang was really sad about Cao Cao's death, but recalling that after he claimed that the king killed Xun Yu, Xun Gang seemed to be much more relaxed.

Let's take a life for a life......

At this time, Li Yan suddenly found Xun Gang and said, "Lord, Cao Chong is still in the mansion now, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Oh? Is he in the palace of the King of Wei? ”

Li Yan shook his head.

Xun Gang looked at him suspiciously.

Li Yan finally explained: "After hearing that the lord captured the third general, Cao Chong went to the lord's mansion to seek the protection of the third lady......"

Xun Gang's eyes lit up, good guy, how smart he is!

I just don't know what to do next...... What will you look like? Will you honestly become a puppet in my hands, or will you be forced to become a puppet in my hands?

Just like the one in Xuchang City......
