Chapter 357: The time has come
Cao Ren frowned, he looked at the nephew in front of him, the look of grievance on his face, and he knew that what Cao Zhang said was not false, with Cao Pi's temperament, he would indeed kill Cao Zhang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle, now that the child has told you the truth, which side do you choose to stand on, do you stand on Cao Pi's side and fight against me, or choose neither side to help, or choose me?"
Cao Ren sighed and said, "I choose the heir designated by my brother. ”
"So, uncle, you are my enemy."
"I don't want to, but I am the general of the Wei State, the sword of the King of Wei, and the shield of the King of Wei, if anyone wants to destroy the Wei State, no matter who it is, I will not let it go."
After Cao Ren finished speaking, suddenly an arrow shot out from Cao Zhang's camp, shooting directly at Cao Ren, the arrow was extremely fast, Cao Ren didn't expect Cao Zhang to only take dozens of people out of the city, come to him, and dare to release arrows at him, not to mention that he is Cao Zhang's uncle.
Cao Ren reached out and pulled the arrow away, but Shangguan Xiao shot two arrows, and Cao Ren pulled away one arrow, causing one arrow to pierce through the armor and into Cao Ren's chest.
Cao Ren was in pain, holding his chest and shouting, "Cao Zhang, you ......"
Cao Zhang looked at Shangguan Xiao beside him with a shocked face, slapped Shangguan Xiao's face, and said loudly: "Minion, what are you doing?" ”
Shangguan Xiao said with a mouth full of blood: "Lord, are you your uncle Cao Ren's opponent?" No, if he wants to kill you, then you can only kill him, what you can't do, your subordinates will do it for you, ...... lord"
Niu Jin was furious, protected Cao Ren with one hand, and commanded the soldiers to rush towards Cao Zhang!
"The lord is going back to the city quickly, and the queen is broken!" Shangguan Xiao protected Cao Zhang, and led dozens of soldiers to block Niu Jin's attack.
Cao Zhang looked at this scene in a daze, a little confused.
"The lord is going back to the city soon!!"
Shangguan Xiao was fighting, struggling to lead the troops to block Niu Jin, and the soldiers he brought were getting fewer and fewer, and soon Shangguan Xiao was surrounded by Niu Jin's soldiers, and he was about to be swallowed up.
Cao Zhang suddenly shouted: "Disperse for me!" ”
In a flash! The steel knife in Cao Zhang's hand was like a sickle for cutting wheat, rushing into the enemy group, swinging the knife to kill the enemy general, breaking through the enemy's thermal insulation ring in an instant, and slashing Niu Jin's big knife with the knife, which shocked Niu Jin's hands numb. Niu Jin waved his knife and wanted to leave Cao Zhang, but Cao Zhang swung out another knife and directly swept Niu Jin off the horse.
Cao Zhang took Shangguan Xiao out of the siege, and ordered Shangguan Xiao to return to the city, and he killed dozens of people outside the city, and finally returned to the city safely.
Niu Jin got up from the ground, held his waist, and said: "This yellow beard really has the courage of ten thousand people." ”
The arrow in Cao Ren's shot was logically said to be thick in armor, and his injury was not hit, but Cao Ren was dying, because Shangguan Xiao was aimed at Cao Ren, and the arrow he shot was an armor-piercing arrow, and the arrow was highly poisonous. As soon as Cao Ren left Xu Bu less than three miles, he foamed at the mouth and whimpered.
After learning that Cao Ren had died, Man Chong was shocked and hurriedly reported to Cao Pi in Yecheng. When the news that Shangguan Xiao shot Cao Ren to death reached Wancheng, Zhang He led the army to attack Manzhong, who defended Luyang to the death, and Zhang He attacked several times, but could not break through, so he waited for the opportunity.
In Yecheng, Cao Pi learned the news that Cao Ren was plotted to death by Cao Zhang, and was shocked: "My Great Wei's shield is broken, Cao Zhang, I will definitely kill you." ”
Xiangyang, Yuan Shang's mansion, after Yuan Shang learned the news that Cao Ren was shot to death by Shangguan Xiao, he was overjoyed, and said to Shangguan Qian on the side: "Cao Cao occupies my land and destroys my Yuan family, he didn't expect that after death, his sons will also step into the same path as me and Yuan Tan, haha!" ”
Yuan Xi on the side snorted coldly and said: "Cao Cao occupies my Yuan family's rivers and mountains, Cao Pi takes my wife, I look forward to the destruction of the Wei State, the day when Cao Pi becomes a prisoner, if it comes to that day, I will definitely kill him with my own hands." ”
Shangguan Qian sat on the side and took a sip of soju, looking at the two former sons of the Yuan family, who are now middle-aged, although they are now in a high position in the Chu State, but they do not have any real power. When Ma Hong found Shangguan Qian and wanted him to join his plan, Yuan Shang asked Shangguan Qian to agree, and Shangguan Qian knew that Yuan Shang wanted revenge, so he let his son venture to Cao Zhang, taking the opportunity to set off a storm.
Jiangxia, Xiling City, after Ma Hong learned the news of Cao Ren's death, he pulled out the Qinglong Sword and said to Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Wang Ping and Ma Shuang: "The time has come, now that the Wei State is in chaos, Cao Pi should not take care of it, naturally he will not care about the affairs of Eastern Wu, and now is the time to take Jiangdong in one fell swoop." ”
"Father, at the moment, we can cut off Zhou Yu's retreat, attack Shaxian, and attack Zhou Yu with General Gan Ning, and our army will win." Ma Shuang said to Ma Hong.
Ma Hong glanced at Ma Shuang and asked Deng Ai, "Shizai, what do you think?" ”
"Back to the teacher, Deng Ai thinks that now that Zhou Yu is being held back by General Gan Ning, there is no need for us to pay attention to Zhou Yu, our army can send a surprise army to go deep into the hinterland of Eastern Wu and attack Jianye directly."
Deng Ai said to Ma Hong.
Ma Hong laughed and said, "Strange soldiers, haha!" What Shi Zai said is exactly what he wants. ”
"Teacher, Deng Ai is willing to lead the troops to attack Jianye."
"Now that Jianye's defense is empty, more than eighty percent of the soldiers are used to defend the border, and two percent of the soldiers are used to suppress the harassment of Shanyue, the city must be unguarded, and the Wei State is in chaos, now is the best time to attack Jianye City." Jiang Wei said.
"Good!" Ma Hong looked at everyone and said, "Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Wang Ping, and Ma Shuang listen to orders!" ”
"The last general will obey the order!"
"Jiang Wei, Wang Ping."
"The last general will obey orders."
"The two of you led 10,000 Wudang Flying Army, and 5,000 elite light cavalry attacked Jianye City."
"No!"
"Deng Ai and Ma Shuang listen to orders!"
"The last general will obey orders."
"With the two of you, you will bring 10,000 bloodline soldiers and 5,000 elite cavalry to attack Jianye City, and go separate ways with Jiang Wei and Wang."
"No!"
"Father, I don't know if my father can set a route for the march." Jiang Wei asked.
"The general is to be adaptable, you are marching outside, the rhythm is controlled by yourself, you know the battle situation best, you can do whatever you want, what you want to see is that you break through Jianye City and capture Sun Quan."
"No!" The four of them said in unison.
"Hehe, Lonely, answer whether you are satisfied or not."
"The king is a genius in the use of soldiers, and he is far-sighted, so we can attack Jianye City without any scruples."
"Zhou Yu is here for you to contain, in addition, I will also order Pang Tong and Liu Ye to immediately raise troops to attack Yangzhou, Pang Tong and Liu Ye's nearly 100,000 troops must be Sun Quan's priority to take care of, you two strange troops will definitely be able to capture Jianye City."
"Please wait for the good news from the king and father, and we will definitely live up to expectations."
Under the instruction of Ma Hong, with Jiang Wei as the main general and Wang Ping as the deputy general, the two took the Wudang Flying Army and 5,000 light horsemen into Yangzhou. With Deng Ai as the main general and Ma Shuang as the deputy general, he entered Yangzhou with the bloodline army and 5,000 light horses.
