Youzhou Army, camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Zheng was in charge of military affairs in an all-round way, and he acted more steadily.

While the army was advancing steadily, Cao sent a large number of sentry agents to inquire about the news from the front and ensure that they knew the battle situation ahead at any time. Cao Zheng was against Tian Zhao's behavior of abandoning the army and leading three thousand elite cavalry to chase and kill.

No one could have predicted what would happen if they went alone.

What if, in the middle of the ambush?

Liu Xuan has already shown his defeat, as long as he advances steadily, he will definitely break through Guanyang County, forcing Liu Xuan to be cornered. However, Tian Zhao was so anxious that he left the army and went deep alone, which was quite dangerous.

Cao Zheng couldn't persuade him, so he could only pray that the battle ahead was good.

The speed of 10,000 infantry was much slower than that of cavalry.

I walked for three days, and I didn't go far. At noon on this day, the army stopped to camp and recuperate and prepare lunch. After Cao Zheng had dinner, he took two generals to patrol the camp to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the voice of a soldier sounded ahead, and a sentry scout galloped back.

Cao Zheng stopped, and after a while, the sentry came. The sentry had a panicked expression on his face, turned over and dismounted, and said nervously: "General Tian was captured alive by Liu Xuan, and the three thousand elite cavalry were wiped out. ”

Brush!

Cao Zheng's face changed greatly, and his eyes were extremely surprised.

The three thousand elite cavalry were all wiped out, and Tian Zhao was captured alive, how is this possible? Even if Liu Xuan laid an ambush, Liu Xuan's soldiers were a tired division after all, and even if they defeated Tian Zhao, they would not let the three thousand cavalry be wiped out.

Cao Zheng's heart set off a monstrous wave.

This news is so bad.

The generals beside Cao Zheng also had solemn expressions on their faces.

Tian Zhao was arrested, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

The sentry detective looked apprehensive and asked, "Strategist, what should we do now?" ”

Cao Zheng thought for a moment and said calmly: "General Tian was arrested, so he can't ignore it. General Tian is a relative of Lord Assassin Shi, and if we give up on General Tian and retreat, we will definitely be angered, and even be crowned with the great crime of escaping. Not only must we not retreat, we must move on. When the army and Liu Xuan met, they negotiated with Liu Xuan to redeem General Tian. ”

The sentinel listened to Cao Zheng's instructions, stabilized his mood a little, and went to convey the news.

Cao Zheng knew that the situation was urgent, so he summoned all the main generals in the army, analyzed the current situation for everyone, and then comforted everyone and asked them to stabilize the morale of the army. The news of Tian Zhao's arrest will inevitably cause turmoil.

Therefore, the first thing Cao Zheng did was to stabilize the situation.

The army stabilized temporarily, and Cao Zheng led the army to continue advancing.

While advancing, deserters appeared in the ranks. Cao Zheng caught the deserter, without any reason, killed the chickens and monkeys, beheaded the deserter Liwei, and then stabilized the situation.

The team continued to move forward, and it took a day and a half to meet Liu Xuan's army.

The two armies met and lined up.

In front of the military formation, Liu Xuan escorted Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng out, and Cao Zheng led a group of army generals to the front.

"General!"

Cao Zheng looked at Tian Zhao, who was lying on his back, with an anxious expression.

Liu Xuan's eyes were calm, and he said slowly: "You are Cao Zheng, Tian Zhao said that you are his staff and military advisor, and now you are in charge of the army." Tian Zhao is in the hands of the official, you let all the soldiers lay down their weapons, and the official will not kill Tian Zhao. ”

Cao Zheng shook his head and said: "Uncle Liu Huang is really naïve, if the Youzhou army is controlled, the initiative is in your hands, and the life and death of the general, as well as the life and death of all the soldiers, are controlled by you." At that time, you can kill whoever you want, and who can stop you? Uncle Liu Huang put forward such a condition, is it bullying ignorance? ”

Liu Xuan said: "The official didn't intend to bully you, and as for whether you are knowledgeable or ignorant, the official doesn't care. Now you have no choice but to surrender. ”

Tian Zhao said loudly: "Cao Zheng, surrender immediately." ”

For Liu Xuan's ruthlessness, Tian Zhao can be regarded as having understood.

To this day, his ass still hurts.

Tian Zhao was afraid that if Cao Zheng did not surrender, he would definitely be killed by Liu Xuan at that time.

Cao Zheng's expression was very calm, and he said loudly: "General, don't worry, don't panic, Liu Xuan doesn't dare to kill you." As long as Liu Xuan dares to kill you, our 10,000 troops will definitely fight to avenge you. ”

Brush!

Tian Zhao's face changed suddenly.

This damn Cao Zheng didn't even give the order to surrender.

Liu Xuan looked at Tian Zhao with a smile, and said: "General Tian's character is really not good, and his eyes are not very good, he really doesn't know people." Cao Zheng is your confidant, but he doesn't listen to you. Alas, feel sorry for you. ”

Tian Zhao said loudly: "Cao Zheng, this general will order you to order surrender." ”

Cao Zheng said: "General, as long as we surrender, Liu Xuan will pinch our throats, we can't do this." ”

Tian Zhao was so angry that he couldn't hold his throat and shut your.

In the army, you are not the commander-in-chief.

Now, Lao Tzu's life is the most important thing.

Tian Zhao was angry in his heart, and said loudly: "Cao Zheng, don't talk so much nonsense, surrender immediately." ”

Cao Zheng shook his head and refused, and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the general's safety and the lives of 10,000 Youzhou soldiers, I can't order surrender." When the general returns to the camp, he will be guilty of his crimes. ”

The words were firm and denied Tian Zhao's words.

Tian Zhao looked at Liu Xuan, with an innocent look, and his expression seemed to say, I see, this has nothing to do with me.

Liu Xuan chuckled and said, "Cao Zheng, are you really afraid that I will kill Tian Zhao?" ”

Cao Zheng looked calm, and said: "I can only gamble in the next place, and bet that Uncle Liu Huang is a smart and rational person." As long as Uncle Liu Huang kills General Tian, he will order the soldiers to attack and fight to the death. Even if the 10,000 Youzhou army can't defeat Uncle Liu, at least it can fight thousands of Uncle Liu. Even if Uncle Liu Huang wins, it will be a miserable victory, can he resist the army of Lord Assassin? ”

The words of threat are unmistakable.

Cao Zheng wanted to use this to blackmail Liu Xuan and let Liu Xuan release Tian Zhao.

Cao Zheng continued: "I can guarantee that as long as Uncle Liu Huang releases General Tian, the Youzhou army will withdraw from Beihai Country and will no longer interfere in the affairs of Beihai Kingdom. If General Tian is fine, Lord Assassin Shi will not pursue Beihai Kingdom. If you cooperate, you will benefit both, and if you fight, you will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. I implore Uncle Liu Huang to think twice and not to be impulsive and misguided. ”

Tian Zhao listened to Cao Zheng's words, and suddenly there was a burst of joy in his heart, and hope rose. Just now he was angry that Cao Zheng did not order surrender, but now after listening to Cao Zheng's words, he felt that Cao Zheng's analysis was very reasonable, and Liu Xuan probably did not dare to kill him, so he could only release him.

"Hahaha......"

Liu Xuan straddled the horse and suddenly laughed.

The unbridled laughter made Cao Zheng frown.

Cao Zheng said: "Has Uncle Liu Huang thought about it?" ”

Liu Xuan's laughter stopped, his sleeves flicked, and he said strongly: "Tian Zhao is a prisoner of this official, and it is impossible to release him. You, the 10,000 Youzhou soldiers, must surrender. Otherwise, there will be no mercy. ”

Brush!

Tian Zhao's face turned pale.

Cao Zheng is already very strong, and Liu Xuan is even stronger, murderous, and will not give an inch.
