Pingsi City was soon captured by Xiahou Ba. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info when Cao Pi rode into the city with a tiger and leopard, a number of richly dressed city squires were already waiting on both sides of the city gate, seeing the flattering smiling faces of these people and the bottles and cans on the wooden carts arranged in a row behind them, Cao Pi already knew that Han Fan, the defender of Pingsi City, had actually lost the support of the big clans in the city, and only relied on his own harvest of thousands of people, plus this small city did not even have a moat, even if Xiahou Ba's arrow did not hit him, I am afraid it would not last long.

Cao Zhen sighed on the side: "I said~!" Why are there only soldiers on the head of the city who bend their bows and arrows, but no one carries wood and stones, pours boiling dung water, and throws lit tarpaulins, it turns out that these big men in the city do not support the defenders! ”

Cao Pi said with a smile: "This Han Fan can be regarded as seeking benevolence, the people in the city do not support him, but they still defend it, and they do not force the people to defend the city for him, hurting the innocent, this loyalty and benevolence deserve to be commended, and he should be buried well." ”

Sima Chen Qun, the marching soldier on the side, immediately received the order, and then said: "There are still more than 1,000 people in the city, and I don't know what to do with Jinwu." ”

"Those who are willing to stay will be assigned to the people's camp, and those who are not willing to stay, let them go, these sergeants who are guarding the small city have been in battle for a long time, and they are embarrassed." Cao Pi replied.

Chen Qun left immediately after receiving the order, and then Cao Pi called the representative of the squire in the city, the representative of the squire was a middle-aged fat man wearing a fur, seeing Cao Pi a little cringe, after saluting, he stammered that they were willing to surrender to the court, and then presented a list of their gifts.

After Cao Pi comforted him, he said: "Since you are a big man in the city, then find a good house for me to live in." ”

The fat man nodded again and again and said, "No! Promise! The general asked to go to the humble house with the grass people for a while, and the small people immediately sent someone to build a good house for the general to live in. ”

Cao Pi nodded when he heard this, and said to Cao Zhen: "Brother Xian took me outside the city to inspect the situation of Uncle Xiao's camp. After Cao Zhen received the order to leave, Cao Pi said to Cao Xiu on the side: "Brother Wenlie can take the tiger and leopard to ride the road to the city guard and camp, and leave a tun of tigers and leopards to ride for me." ”

Cao Xiu immediately ordered a tiger and leopard rider and then left the team, while Cao Pi took fifty tiger and leopard riders to follow the squire to his mansion.

When he arrived at the squire's mansion, Cao Pi let the tiger and leopard ride outside and wait, and he took Niu Jin, Gao Shun, and Su Yu into the squire's mansion, and the fat squire naturally entertained him with good wine and meat, and after eating, he took Cao Pi to the arranged mansion, which was not too far from the squire's mansion, and it was enough for fifty tigers and leopards to ride.

The squire also sent two hundred servant scouts Cao Pi and his subordinates, including twenty maids, Cao Pi only left two, and the other eighteen were given to Gao Shun to be assigned to his own guards.

As for Niu Jin, he went out to arrange for the servants who entered the house to work, and the other tigers and leopards also went to settle their horses, and now Cao Pi still has ten tigers and leopards around him and a guard on one side, at this time Cao Pi can't help but feel that if a martial arts master comes to assassinate him now, it must be extremely dangerous, of course, it must be at least Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and the like, after all, there are ten tiger and leopard riders and one scarlet by his side, not to mention that his swordsmanship has been achieved.

After the two maidservants took care of the room for Cao Pi, Cao Pi was about to go in, but a sergeant of the tiger and leopard cavalry came to report: a person claimed to be an envoy of the Yuan army, sent Nei Huang to ask to see Zhi Jinwu.

Neihuang is a county seat, from Liyang to Yecheng, Cao Pi's route in addition to Pingsi, there is also an Neihuang in the middle, this Neihuang is not a big city, located in the Taihang Mountains is located in the Taihang SD Lu Plain, more dangerous than Pingsi to defend, Cao Pi captured Pingsi after ordering the repair is also felt that Neihuang is already in the bag, not in a hurry, but did not expect the other party to send a messenger first.

Cao Pi said to the sergeant of the tiger and leopard cavalry who came to report: "He is waiting in the main hall. ”

After the sergeant went, Cao Pi came to the main hall with a smug and ten sergeants with tigers and leopards, but saw a dusty man standing in the main hall, this person was a northerner's body, very strong, there was nothing surprising in appearance, and he was covered with animal skins to keep out the cold, which looked like he should have been pulled down after hunting, without any treatment, in the north, this is the most practical thing to keep out the cold, after all, not everyone can afford to wear a fur with fine workmanship.

When the man saw Cao Pi, he immediately saluted, and said, "Yang Sheng, the scout of Qu Junhou under the command of General Caiguan, see Zhi Jinwu." ”

"General Material? The imperial court did not grant this general title. Cao Pi came to the main hall and sat down after the first table was put on the table and said. Ten tiger and leopard cavalry sergeants and five people stood beside Yang Sheng, and Su Yu stood behind Cao Pi with the sword around his waist.

"This is the general title awarded by the imperial court to General Su You of my family." Yang Sheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh, it was given by Yuan Benchu. At that time, his general was sealed by the imperial court, and since the imperial court awarded him a general, he naturally recognized his performance, let's call your master General Su, since you came from Neihuang, this General Su is the guard of Neihuang City? ”

"No, General Su and Jubie were ordered to garrison Yecheng, but after hearing that Zhi Jinwu intercepted General Xiao Yuan's rear army and baggage, General Su went to rescue General Xiao Yuan under the pretext of leading the department, but in fact, he went to Neihuang and killed the city defenders to collect his defenders, so as to wait for the imperial court to quell the rebellion. After Zhijinwu sent troops from Liyang, General Su received information and sent the last general to come and offer a letter of surrender. The last general rushed to the vicinity of Pingsi today, and heard that Zhijingo had captured this place, so he came to ask for a meeting. After Yang Sheng finished speaking, he immediately presented a scroll of bamboo slips, which was presented to Cao Pi by a tiger and leopard cavalry sergeant.

Cao Pi put the bamboo slips on the case and said, "In this way, General Su wants to present the department and Neihuang together?" ”

Yang Sheng replied, "Exactly." ”

"I wonder how many sergeants this General Su has?"

"General Su has 3,000 foot soldiers, who have been fighting with Black Mountain thieves all the year round, and have also fought bloody battles with Gongsun Zhan's army, all of which are elite in a hundred battles. As for the Neihuang garrison, there are still 3,000 people, but guarding the small city of Neihuang has been sparse for a long time, so it is not worth mentioning. ”

Cao Pi smiled and said, "Lao Furu went back to inform your general that I had accepted this letter and asked General Su to meet our army fifty miles south of Neihuang in three days." ”
