Chapter 24 Persuasion to surrender to the ban
The late autumn morning was a bit bleak, and when Tao Ying ran all the way to nearly three miles outside Pengcheng City, there was no one around him. Tao Ying never thought that he would be so down, and he didn't know when the helmet fell off, his long hair was messily draped, and his arm was hit by an arrow and ached faintly.
The city gate outside the south gate of Pengcheng has been opened, Xu Sheng led the troops to kill outside the city wall, and the Cao soldiers who pursued the routs hurriedly retreated when they encountered the hundreds of cavalry sent by Xu Sheng, and the scattered rout soldiers also quickly gathered in Pengcheng.
Tao Ying wanted to rush to Pengcheng, but Yu Ban had already chased after him, and it seemed that he couldn't run away, so Tao Ying had to stop his horse and fight.
Seeing that Tao Ying stopped his horse, Yu Ban's cavalry also quickly surrounded Tao Ying. Tao Ying threw the sword in his hand on the ground, and Xu Sheng, who came from afar, saw that Tao Ying was surrounded and hurriedly reined in his horse, he knew that he could not move forward.
If you don't lead your troops to fight, you have to compete with Haojie, Tao Ying finally knew how ridiculous this was. I've read a lot of novels before, only to find that things are always far from what I imagined.
Yu Ban saw that Tao Ying had lost his weapon and collected it, and rode to Tao Ying, looking at Tao Ying, Yu Ban just sneered and waved his hand, wanting people to arrest Tao Ying.
Tao Yingyi waved his hand and replied: "Slow, General Yu, I know that I am not your opponent in the war, but today this Heavenly Master is willing to make a deal with you!" ”
At the mention of the Heavenly Master, Yu Ban laughed and said: "The young people still dare to call the Heavenly Master, even if Zhang Jiao is so powerful, he will only end up like this, and Ru'an dares to call the Heavenly Master!" ”
Although he was very nervous, Tao Ying pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Wen Ze, I might as well settle a hexagram with you." As soon as he heard Tao Ying actually knew his words, Yu Ban, who originally underestimated Tao Ying, also waved his hand, and the little soldier next to him did not come over to tie Tao Ying.
"How do you know my name? Could it be that my name in Wen Zezhi has already scared you and other Xuzhou people? ”
Tao Ying smiled and said: "No, even if this Heavenly Master owes you a life today, I will pay it back when you vote for me on the other day." This Heavenly Master knows everything in the world, so if you kill me today, you won't get much fame and fortune from taking my head to Cao Cao. Life in the world is nothing but wealth, if you let me go today, I will give Peng Cheng and Xiaopei to you. ”
Yu Ban looked at Tao Ying with his beard on top of the war horse, although this person was not worth killing at all, but what he said seemed to be quite attractive.
Everyone knows that the second son of Xuzhou Tao is a big villain who everyone can get and be punished, and this person has no way to lead the army, if he kills him, it is simply to help the enemy get rid of the harm.
And at that time, he offended Tao Qian, if he couldn't kill Tao Qian at this time, he would have endless troubles. Therefore, Yu Ban hesitated a little, and seeing this gap, Tao Ying was also busy and persuaded: "Brother Wen Ze, you have to think about it, I know that your grain and grass will definitely not last until the beginning of spring next year." Xuzhou, you will definitely not be able to fight, if I die, my father will never let go of the size of the Ru family. If my father expounds the land of Xuzhou for the head of the general's family, the general will talk about Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south, is he willing to do this deal? ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, Yu Ban's face became more and more serious. Tao Ying knew that Yu Ban was a rare general, but he was not a perfect person, because when he fought Jingzhou with Guan Yu, Pang De died in battle, but he surrendered, and Cao Cao sent him a sentence Yu Ban and I have been with me for thirty years, but Pang De is not as good as Pang De!
Seeing that Yu Ban was a little hesitant, Yu Ban's side general said with a somewhat unhappy face: "The general should not be bewitched by this horseman, the lord treats the general as kind as a mountain, how can the general live up to the lord's cultivation?" ”
Yu Ban turned his head and looked at the general again, it would be Cao Cao's dispatch to monitor him, because last time Tao Ying said that he would take Cao Cao's head to Tao Ying sooner or later, and Yu Ban concealed this sentence again, but someone in his army told Cao Cao the news in order to invite merit, so Cao Cao sent him a partial general.
Seeing that the partial general's face was angry, Yu Ban knew that if he didn't kill Tao Ying at this time, Cao Cao would definitely doubt himself after he went back! So as soon as Yu Ban stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword, with a sword roar, a cold and shining iron sword pointed at Tao Ying.
Looking at the cold iron sword, Tao Ying laughed: "Yu Wenze, Yu Wenze, you are my Xuzhou general, why don't you listen to the destiny of heaven?" If you have the heart to kill me today, he will be killed one day! ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, he reached out and took out a dagger and stabbed it into his heart, and after a heart-rending pain, Tao Ying planted under the horse with a plop.
The general Cao Cao sneered: "Since he is an omniscient heavenly master, has he never calculated that he will die here?" ”
A small soldier went over and cut off Tao Ying's head and handed it over, Yu Banjian raised his head and shouted: "The whole army is ready, immediately attack the city, and the first person to attack the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" ”
At the sound of an order, the horn whined, and more and more Cao soldiers around began to converge towards the outside of Pengcheng. Xu Sheng saw that Tao Ying had been beheaded here, and his heart was sad.
I didn't expect the first lord I met to die like this to save himself, how can it not be chilling? Xu Shenggang wanted to lead the troops to rush to the death to avenge Tao Ying in a decisive battle with Yu Ban, but he didn't want to be in the middle of the rout, and several rout soldiers rushed towards him in a crowd.
The figure was so familiar, and when Xu Sheng just wanted to shout, the shabby-dressed soldier just lowered his voice and said, "Don't make a noise, quickly gather the rout and return to the city!" ”
After Xiao Bing finished speaking, he hurriedly handed Xu Sheng a small note, and ran towards the gate of Pengcheng without looking back.
Xu Sheng hid the note in his sleeve and led the cavalry towards the city with a big sword, the city gate was wide open to collect the rout, and when the forbidden army gathered to attack, nearly a thousand rout soldiers also fled to Pengcheng.
Putting away the drawbridge and closing the city gate, Xu Sheng hurriedly ran to the wall to command the battle. The soldiers who were hiding on the side of the street, panting, lay on the ground one by one, sighing, finally picking up a small life.
Before they could rest, Xu Sheng sent three or four centurions with more than a dozen people to let them gather on the city wall to defend the Cao army together, soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, the main generals are all killed in battle, who is willing to send them to death?
Several soldiers shook their heads and refused to go, and the other soldiers saw that Xu Shengbing couldn't help them, so they also lay down and continued to rest. Until Tao Ying, who had changed into a Confucian robe, appeared on the street, and the soldiers who had seen Tao Ying were frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
Tao Ying is not dead!
As one man shouted, the entire street began to boil. The whole of Xuzhou is rumored that Tao should be the savior of Xuzhou sent by God, how can he die easily?
