Nanyang County, Wancheng forces.

Zhang Xiu is seriously ill and intends to pass on Chen Sheng. But Chen Sheng was also unwilling to take advantage of the situation, so he took away Zhang Xiu's foundation, so the matter was temporarily shelved.

It can be said that this force in Nanyang County has almost undergone earth-shaking changes.

And the Central Plains Cao Ying forces have also undergone some changes.

First of all, Cao Ren, Man Chong, Le Jin, Li Dian and others withdrew 26,700 elite soldiers from Nanyang and returned to the important city in the north, Wuyin City.

At the same time, the fast horse sent by Cao Ren, carrying Cao Hong's head, quickly went to Xudu.

After three days, the fast horse arrived at Xudu.

This one is said to be hollow.

The season is getting closer to summer, and the heat of the sun is getting stronger and stronger, making the temperature in the air higher and higher, and there is not even a little wind, and it is unusually hot.

However, after all, Xudu is also the political and military center of Cao Ying's forces, and the city with the largest location in the Central Plains. Even in such a hot weather, it is still busy and prosperous.

"Da-da-da-da."

In this bustling city, several fast horses are moving fast.

These fast horses are very eye-catching. First of all, the speed is fast enough, you know, Xu Du is also the capital of the world, galloping on horseback, not ordinary people can afford to play.

There are only two kinds of people who can afford to gallop on horseback. One kind of person is the real magnat, but Cao Ying's governance ability is very good, but the arrogant things of the powerful rarely happen.

In other words, there is only one kind of person left who can gallop on horseback.

That's the people who deliver the message, especially the military one. And judging by the clothing on these fast horses, this is definitely a sergeant.

War? That must be Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian and other generals led 30,000 elite soldiers south to Nanyang, and there is news that they have returned.

Nanyang Zhang Xiu, Chen Sheng is afraid that he has already been defeated, right? After all, Nanyang County is only so small, less than one-tenth of the Central Plains. No matter how brave Zhang Xiu's Xiliang soldiers were, they couldn't stop the elite soldiers of the Central Plains.

Failure is a matter of course.

I just don't know whether Chen Sheng and the others were killed or captured in this embroidery.

It's better if you are killed, you will die happily on the spot. If it's captured, it's over. General Cao Hong has said that he will definitely break Chen Sheng's body into ten thousand pieces.

Before this corpse is broken, there must be a rotation of all criminal laws. Anyway, if it falls into the hands of Cao Jun, Chen Sheng will definitely not end well.

Poor Chen Sheng, why do you want to offend Lord Sikong?

The people who saw these fast horses all around sketched out the outcome of this war in their hearts. It's no wonder that people look down on Zhang Xiu and Chen Sheng.

It is indeed the power of the two, too weak.

And Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, and Li Dian are also very strong, and there are 30,000 elite Cao Jun.

People don't think about failure at all.

Success is that the sun comes out of the east, which is too normal. Failure that is the sun coming out of the west, impossible.

At most, that is, Chen Sheng, Zhang Xiugui couldn't shrink, and the war was at a stalemate.

Not to mention the blueprints of all kinds of imagination born when they saw a few fast horses galloping. However, he said that after galloping for a while, the fast horses finally arrived at Sikong Mansion near the center of the city.

After arriving at Sikong Mansion, several knights immediately took the box containing Cao Hong's head, and after talking to the guards guarding the door, the leader of them carried the box and entered Sikong Mansion under the leadership of the guards.

Soon after, the leader came to the study.

In the study, Cao Ying was reading a book, and he was reading very seriously. This is Cao Ying, even if he is classified as a prince, one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, Sikong.

But he still buried himself in hard reading, and would study books whenever he had time.

"Da-da-da-da." Just as Cao Ying was looking seriously, the leading knight carrying the wooden box, under the leadership of the guards of Sikong Mansion, walked in, and the footsteps were very loud, which immediately woke up Cao Ying.

"What?" Cao Ying looked up and asked.

As soon as he raised his head, Cao Ying noticed the wooden box in the hand of the leading knight, and immediately showed a little joy, and asked, "But Chen Sheng or Zhang Xiu's head?" ”

Xu Du is far away from Nanyang, and Cao Ying wants to get the situation of the Nanyang War at any time, which is more troublesome. Usually the news I got was three days ago.

And now the news that Cao Ying knows about the front is that Manzhong set up a plan to lower the morale of Guangcheng. In order to boost his morale, Chen Sheng continued to provoke and intend to challenge in front of the battle.

And full of favors, when Cao Hong and the others closed the camp gate and hung up the war-free card.

Therefore, Cao Ying misunderstood, this is Chen Sheng, or Zhang Xiu's head.

After all, the situation is too good, so to speak, everything is under control.

The leading knight was already a little apprehensive, after all, he knew that Lord Sikong and General Cao Hong had a very good relationship, and between the two, there was also a life-saving grace.

If it weren't for General Cao Hong, maybe Lord Sikong would have died a long time ago.

If Lord Sikong knew that General Cao Hong had died on the battlefield, he didn't know what kind of turmoil would arise.

Therefore, the leading horseman is really a little resistant to this mission. However, the military order was difficult, and in the end he came.

The leading knight was already a little apprehensive, but now Cao Ying misunderstood and mistook Cao Hong's head for Chen Sheng, or Zhang Xiu's head.

Mistaking defeat for victory.

This made the knight even more apprehensive, and his heart couldn't help but think about it.

Once Lord Sikong learns the true situation, will he be furious? Will it be too sad? By the way, he became angry and killed me.

The knight leader was apprehensive in his heart, and felt that his neck was cold. However, in the end, the knight leader still showed his true colors as a sergeant, and with courage, he saluted Cao Ying and said, "Back to Lord Sikong, this is not Zhang Xiu, or Chen Sheng's head. This is the head of General Cao Hong. In the battle of Guangcheng, General Cao Hong fell into a strategy and was introduced into Guangcheng, Chen Sheng closed the city gate and beheaded General Cao Hong. General Cao Ren specially ordered the villain to bring the head of General Cao Hong back to Xudu, and asked Lord Sikong to arrange the burial. ”

Originally, Cao Ying was indeed pleasantly surprised.

After all, judging by the information he learned, Guangcheng's morale was getting lower and lower, and it was not far from collapse. So it was guessed that Chen Sheng was killed.

Or, something happened, Zhang Xiu died first.

Chen Sheng and Zhang Xiu are both possible, but Cao Ying only didn't expect that Cao Hong would die, and Cao Hong, who had the upper hand, was defeated.

"Zilian?"

Cao Ying was shocked, his face showed an incredible look, and he muttered to himself.
