"Get on your knees!"

When Zhao Feng got off the horse and tidied up his clothes and armor and returned to the camp tent, the two personal soldiers who were holding Cao Xiu were tying him up and pressing him to the ground. Cao Xiu scolded while struggling: "You dog thieves will kill if you want to kill, if I frown, I am not a descendant of the Cao family!" ”

"Very good, last time Cao Ying slaughtered people in my Xuzhou, today I will ask his nephew to pay off his debts for him." Guan Yu saw that Cao Xiuning was unyielding, and he was arrogant and arrogant, so he didn't have much patience to persuade him to surrender, so he paused and said, "Come on, drag me out and behead me!" ”

"Second general, please put your anger away for the time being, this Cao Xiu is a son of the Cao family's clan, so it may be useful for him to force Du Yuan to surrender." At this time, Liao Hua suggested. But if he had seen the scene on the city wall, he probably wouldn't have said it.

"Don't think about it, the descendants of my Cao family have always only had decapitated generals, but there are no knee-bending people!" Cao Xiu was still scolding, and the wound on his shoulder was still dripping blood.

"Oh, Bo Tao is back, what can you do?" Guan Yu saw that Zhao Feng was just in the account, thinking that this Cao Xiu was finally captured by Zhao Feng, and it was best to ask Zhao Feng's opinion on how to deal with it. What's more, Zhao Feng has always had wonderful ideas.

"It's better to bet down first, and then cut it after the city is broken. Beheading at this time will only make the people in the city more desperate to defend the city, and then increase the casualties. When Zhao Feng said this, he took two steps forward and walked in front of Guan Yu and whispered: "The city is broken tonight, and it needs to fall on this person." The voice was so low that only Guan Yu could hear it.

"Huh?" Guan Yu was only slightly stunned, but then pretended to be indifferent and ordered the soldiers to take Cao Xiu down and keep him under strict supervision. "What idea did Bo Tao come up with?" Guan Yu saw Cao Xiu being escorted out of the tent, and hurriedly asked.

"It's not a new idea, it's just to make the original strategy of Liu Bi and Gong Du more reliable." Zhao Feng explained with a smile.

Li Yan's eyes rolled, and his mind turned to electricity: "General Zhao doesn't want the two leaders Liu Bi and Gong Du to let go of this guy, and then let him lead the way into Qian County?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhao Feng nodded in acknowledgement.

"This method is simple and simple, but I don't know if this Cao Xiu will be fooled?" Guan Yu thought about it and still raised his own questions.

"Cao Xiu is young after all, and now he will die after being captured, if someone can save him, it is naturally important to live." Zhao Feng said this, but he kept muttering in his heart: The biggest characteristic of this Cao Xiu is that he is too easy to trust others, especially those who surrender to sincerity. In history, he became a general, but he was deceived by Zhou Yi of Eastern Wu who cut off a handful of hair. Now that I am young and inexperienced, it is easier to deceive.

"It's okay, anyway, we were going to cheat the city, so it's more certain." Guan Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement. At this time, Zhao Feng continued: "Since you want to make a play, you have to do something like it." Later, let the sergeants pack up a few empty tents and come out, and at night Liu Pi and Gong Du set fire to them, and the soldiers guarding Cao Xiu pretended to go out to put out the fire, and then they rescued Cao Xiu and escaped from the back door, and then went around to the east gate of Qian County to shout at the door. I have seen the terrain, there is a small dirt slope on the left side of the east gate, which can probably hide more than 1,000 people behind. As soon as the city gate is opened, the two of them immediately occupy the city gate, and then ambush the soldiers to kill, as long as they can fight for a while, our brigade can enter the county from the back. ”

"That's it! Li Yan, you led a thousand men and horses to lie in ambush behind the dirt slope. Just wait for the city gate to open, and then kill it and cut down the drawbridge. Guan Yu unexpectedly asked Li Yan to ambush, Liao Hua and Hao Meng were also stunned, after all, Li Yan's official position is still the captain of Liang Guodu, and his official rank is lower than them, I didn't expect Guan Yu to give him such an important task.

"It's gold that shines after all." Zhao Feng silently recited this sentence in his heart, although Guan Yu was very crazy, he was not a person who did not know people. Li Yan's talent is far better than that of Liao Hua, and Guan Yu has also seen it through the contact in the past few days, so he gave him such an important task.

"Strict orders!" Li Yan was only stunned for a moment, and then he clenched his fists to receive the order, and his tone was still a little excited. Then Guan Yu continued to arrange, and who would respond to the rest of the people, and who would stay in Dazhai. When all this was arranged, he still ordered people to continue the siege. After all, if you suddenly stop attacking the city, it will inevitably make the defenders suspicious, and it will be self-defeating in case it is too bad.

The Xuzhou army had been besieging the city during the day until nightfall. Cao Xiu was locked up in a small separate tent in the rear army, and the whole person was tied to a wooden shelf. Although Cao Xiu was very firm and unyielding when he was captured, he was somewhat hairy in his heart after being tied up like this for a day. Although there were two guards around, Cao Xiu didn't bother to talk to them. In addition, Cao Xiu didn't know whether Guan Yu had forgotten or was intent on starving him to death, no one had sent him food that day, and now he was hungry.

I don't know how long I felt in my heart, Cao Xiuzheng was a little impatient, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be some fire outside the tent, and then someone shouted that there was a fire. And more and more people are shouting, and the voices are getting louder and louder. How thick can this tent be? After a while, even Cao Xiu and the two guards could see the fire flickering across the tent.

"Oh no, there's a fire, what should we do?"

"What should I do, why don't you go and put out the fire!"

"Let's go put out the fire, what should this kid do?"

"It's so tightly tied, this kid can't run. Either we'll put out the fire and come back, or we'll burn him!" ”

"It's okay, maybe you'll be burned here, let's go out and have a look."

The two soldiers discussed a few words, then threw down their weapons and went out to see the situation. "Ahh As soon as they went out on their front feet, Cao Xiu heard their screams.

"Huh?" Cao Xiu was stunned, and two big men had rushed in outside the tent, one of them pulled out a sharp knife, and cut all the thick hemp ropes that bound Cao Xiu in three or two clicks.

"Dare to ask who the strong man is?" Cao Xiu could see that no matter how stupid he was, someone came to save him. "This is not the place to speak, General Cao, come with us first!" The leader said in a low voice, and then pulled Cao Xiu out of the tent and walked towards the rear army. Although Cao Xiu was injured and didn't eat, and he was tied up for a long time, after all, his body was strong and unusual, and he could barely keep up with the footsteps of those two people at the moment. Although he didn't meet anyone along the way, Cao Xiu noticed that there was a fire in the west, and he must have been busy with the fire.

The group of three came to the wall of the back yard, where more than 100 people were already waiting for them, and they also pried away a piece of the fence. When Cao Xiu and the others arrived, the people hurried out of the camp, and then ran a long way to the east, and did not stop until they were sure that no one had caught up.

"May I ask the strong man's surname, such a great kindness and great virtue Cao Xiu will definitely be rewarded." Cao Xiu hugged his fist to the big man who came to save him. He also saw it along the way, this person should be the leader of this group, and everyone else called him Brother Liu.

"General Cao's words are serious, we are all people who have enemies with Guan Yu, how can we divide each other." The man said modestly, then took a breath and said, "I am Runan Liu Bi, and this is my brother Gong Du." We were originally kings and hegemons in Runan. Before Guan Yu's army entered Yuzhou, we saw that it was not an opponent, so we led the people to surrender. I don't think Guan Yu is really insidious, he accepts us on the surface, but he scatters tens of thousands of our subordinates and reorganizes them into the army. It's nominally to strengthen training, but in fact it's to set us up. We originally had tens of thousands of subordinates, but when we came to him, we only had a military horse. I discussed it with Brother Gong, and I felt that following Guan Yu really had no future. I have heard for a long time that Corporal Cao Cheng is a good minister, so he decided to prevent fire and cause chaos, and then took the opportunity to rescue the general, so that he could go to Prime Minister Cao. It is a pity that in a hurry, only these hundred brothers were gathered. Liu Bi also shook his head again and again after speaking, very regretful.

Cao Xiu patiently listened to Liu Pi's words, and immediately said happily: "If the two of you have this heart, Cao Xiu will be recommended from the present generation." This is not the place to speak, so let's go back to the county first. There were 10,000 soldiers in the city, enough to defend the city and wait for reinforcements from his uncle. But I don't know how many people Guan Yu still has? ”

Liu Bi raised his head and calculated before he said: "Guan Yu led an army of 50,000 into Yuzhou, except for the remaining men and horses and combat consumption, there are definitely less than 30,000 left. Attacking a fortified city garrisoned by no less than 10,000 men with 30,000 horses and horses had little chance of victory. But in order to win, Guan Yu's gang has stepped up the siege of the city these days regardless of casualties, and the generals have not listened to their advice. ”

"Hmph, as soon as the prime minister's reinforcements arrive, the internal and external attacks should be the head of this fight. Let's go back to the county first, do you know where there are no Xuzhou military horses? Cao Xiu comforted the two of them a few words, and then began to ask the most direct question of escape.

At this time, Gong Du said: "There is no east gate, the terrain there is undulating, and it is difficult to launch an offensive, so Guan Yu only sent some scouts to patrol there, but there are no military horses." ”

"In that case, then let's take a detour through the east gate and enter the city!" Cao Xiu hated it, and then took a detour to the east gate with Liu Pi and more than 100 other people, and it took more than an hour to get to the east gate of Qian County.

"Who?" The sentinels at the head of the city saw the group approaching and hurriedly stopped while dozens of bows and arrows were aimed at them.

"I'm General Cao Xiu, open the city gate quickly!" Cao Xiu said loudly.

"General Cao?" Several sentries looked at each other, and one of them hurried to report to the chief. Coincidentally, Du Yuan inspected the east gate at this time, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly went up to the wall to see what was going on.

"It's really General Cao!" Du Yuan saw clearly by the light of the fire that the first person was Cao Xiu, "Hey, isn't it Brother Liu Bi and Brother Gong Du?" How are you with General Cao? Du Yuan was even more surprised when he found two other acquaintances.

"These two strong men were not allowed by Guan Yu, so they took the risk to rescue me. Mrs. Du, open the door quickly! Cao Xiu hurriedly explained two sentences, Du Yuan saw that there were several people, and subconsciously relieved a lot, and immediately ordered to open the door.

It's a pity that Du Yuan forgot at that time that Liao Hua and him were also acquaintances.

"Bang!" "Crunch!" The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, Du Yuan personally came down to greet Cao Xiu and Liu Pi, and he would wait until the hundreds of people had crossed the drawbridge, Du Yuan was about to talk to Cao Xiu, but he heard Liu Pi shouting: "Do it!" ”

Then, these hundred or so people all took out a short knife with a length of a foot from the armor behind them, and then rushed towards Du Yuan and the others who were defenseless or unprepared. The city gate hole is very narrow, and this short knife with a length of more than one foot is particularly easy to use, and there are more than ten corpses on the ground for a while.

"There is fraud!" Just when Du Yuan was about to call someone to close the city gate, he saw that behind the small dirt slope a few miles outside the city, a group of people suddenly killed a group of people, and then rushed towards the open city gate at full speed.
