That night, Feng Xian and Wu Xin each led their headquarters out of the city and sneaked towards Cao Cao's main camp. At this time, the defense of Cao Jun's main camp was very tight, so that the two of them concluded that Cao Cao was among them. So, the two did not hesitate to attack.

In fact, for the sudden arrival of Wu Xin and the others, Cao Cao had probably guessed in advance that they might fight hard at the last moment and use the strategy of capturing the thief and the king. Therefore, he made a trick of the golden cicada to break out of the shell, and arranged the main camp as tightly as usual to confuse the other party's sight, but he himself was not among them.

Although they easily broke in, more troublesome things followed. Cao Cao arranged troops and horses around the main camp, and when he learned that they had rushed into the camp, he immediately led the crowd to surround Feng Xian and the others in one fell swoop, and then ordered a flurry of arrows.

Feng Xian and Wu Xin didn't expect to be ambushed, although they were very surprised, they didn't think much about it, and went straight to the direction of going back. Although Cao Cao had already prepared this time, there was still no way to stop Feng Xian and the others, so they retreated to the city safely.

The failure of this strategy made Wu Xin feel a little remorseful. He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's all my fault, I couldn't see through the other party's plan in time." ”

Feng Xian shook his head and said, "No one could have expected that this mistake would be a trick set up by Cao Cao, but it's no wonder you; Fortunately, everyone returned safely, and there were no casualties. ”

Wu Xin couldn't help but groan and said, "I can't see that Cao Cao's means of using soldiers are quite two-handed; Originally, I was going to raid their grain and grass, but I thought that the other party was ready to take precautions, and I was afraid that I would be caught in the net if I went. ”

Feng Xian nodded and said, "Well, Cao Cao is not my opponent every time I go head-to-head, and now he doesn't dare to take the initiative to confront me head-on; If it hadn't been for the flood that flooded the city before, I would not have been afraid of him, but now—alas, the world is unpredictable! ”

said that earlier Cao Cao sent Ying'er to Wei Xu, the purpose of which was to make her play a role at a critical moment. And although she doesn't have much noble character, she can still distinguish right from wrong. Seeing that Wei Xu was very good to him, she wanted to live her life peacefully like this, and no longer paid attention to the tasks assigned to her by Cao Cao. But now she saw that the situation of the people in the city was very miserable, and she was hungry, and she felt that there was no point in persevering like this.

So, she said to Wei Xu: "Duke Cao is a man who loves talents, if General Lu is willing to bow down to him, he will not be harmed by him; And to fight here now is nothing more than adding casualties. ”

Wei Xu listened to Ying'er's words, and his heart began to waver. But he wasn't sure if Cao Cao would really let everyone go mercifully, so he went to Gao Shun to discuss the matter. Gao Shun said: "Cao Cao is narrow-minded, suspicious and suspicious; I will not let everyone go easily, especially General Lu. ”

Wei Xu felt that what Gao Shun said was also reasonable, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

Immediately, when Hou Cheng learned of this, he went to Wei Xu privately and said: "Now my uncle is still captured by Cao Jun, and Cao Cao also wanted me to be their internal response before; Why don't I go out of the city at night to meet him, if he is willing to promise not to kill General Lu, we will discuss the plan to open the city and surrender, what do you think? ”

Wei Xu nodded and said, "If Cao Cao is willing to be magnanimous and let everyone go, surrendering is the best choice." ”

So, Hou Cheng went out of the city at night to Cao's military camp, wanting to win Cao Cao's promise. In this regard, Guo Jia took advantage of the situation and suggested: "If Cao Gong wants to achieve great things, he needs to get more heroes from all over the world to serve; General Lu is all-round in civil and military affairs, and can fight well; If you can take it under your account, you will be invincible on the battlefield in the future. ”

Xun You also echoed and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very true. ”

Cao Cao nodded with a deep groan and said, "Lone understands." ”

After receiving Cao Cao's clear promise, Hou Cheng went back with confidence. After that, he and Wei Xu consulted with the brothers, and then on the 24th, they joined forces to tie up Chen Gong and Gao Shun, and opened the city to welcome Cao Cao into the city.

After Cao's army entered the city, Cao Cao suddenly ordered: "Pass the order of the lonely army, and those who do not surrender will be killed; Anyone who captures or kills Lu Bu will be rewarded! ”

Wei Xu was immediately shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Gong Cao, you promised to let everyone go, how can you not be faithful now?" ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "You talk to Gu about faithfulness, how much is faithfulness worth?" ”

Wei Xu immediately couldn't believe it, and then said angrily: "You traitor! I'll kill you! With that, he wanted to step forward to kill Cao Cao, but was blocked by Xu Chu and other armed guards, and was immediately captured.

Cao Cao ordered: "Drag it down, cut it." ”

"No!" Xu Chu and others responded.

"You traitor! If you don't believe in your words, you will definitely not die well! Wei Xu was dragged away, and he kept scolding in his mouth. At this time, Song Xian and Hou Cheng on the side saw this, although they were angry in their hearts, but the facts were established now, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Immediately, Cao Cao waved his hand, and a group of Cao troops swarmed in and began to kill in the city. I saw that those Qingzhou soldiers killed men when they met them, and kidnapped them when they met women, causing miserable voices everywhere in the city.

Feng Xian and Wu Xin only brought a few hundred people to start a street battle with a group of Cao troops. Wu Xin wanted to step forward to kill Cao Cao, but the Wu Weijun beside Cao Cao were also some masters of swordsmanship. Due to the large number of opponents, he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists for a while, and had to retreat for the time being.

After fighting for a while, Feng Xian planned to withdraw to the state capital to defend, but unexpectedly, Cao Ren had taken the lead in conquering the state capital and captured a group of female dependents. Although Zhang Jing and Ye Xi tried their best to resist, they still couldn't resist the offensive of Cao Ren's elite old men.

Feng Xian had no choice but to retreat to the White Gate Tower in the west of the city with Wu Xin and the others. Then, everyone relied on the advantages of the city tower and fought a fierce battle with Cao's army. After a while, the corpses of Cao's army were piled up under the tower, and Cao Cao saw that it was difficult to break through for a while, so he had to order a siege but not attack, wanting to wait until Fengxian and they were too hungry to have the strength to attack.

Feng Xian knew that Cao Cao had to kill himself, so in order not to send everyone else to death together, he said to Wu Xin: "Now that I am certain to die, if you can take off my head and surrender to Cao Cao, he will not embarrass you." ”

Wu Xin smiled disapprethoughtly and said: "What did General Lu say, none of my Momen disciples has ever been greedy for life and afraid of death; The big deal is just death, and how can you do such a thing that corrupts your conscience in a hurry. ”

Feng Xian sighed: "The matter has come to this, no matter how much you say, it is useless, living is the most important thing; After I die, you should stop fighting Cao for the time being, but accumulate more strength and wait until the time is ripe before acting. ”

Wu Xin looked at him with a deep groan, then nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Subsequently, Feng Xian went down to the city to surrender and was bound and sent to meet Cao Cao. Seeing that the invincible enemy in the past had become a prisoner of his subordinates at this moment, he was so happy that Cao Cao's heart was happy. But seeing a slight hint of smugness on his face, he asked, "General Lu, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Feng Xian said: "In the past, the Duke of Qi Huan gave up the hatred of shooting hooks and let Guan Zhong be the prime minister, which is the hegemony of the future; Is it possible to make the cloth exert all its strength and be the forerunner of the public? ”

When Cao Cao heard Feng Xian's question, he was stunned at first, but then he was silent for a while.

Seeing that Cao Cao was a little shaken, Feng Xian said to Liu Bei on the side: "Xuande, Qing is a guest, and I am a prisoner, can't you say a word for me?" ”

Cao Cao's expression moved when he heard this, and he immediately smiled and said: "Hehe, if Feng Xian has anything to say, just talk to Gu Ming, why bother the king; Come on, loosen the ties for General Lu. ”

"Wait!" At this time, the chief bookkeeper on the side suddenly spoke to stop him, and then stepped forward and said, "Gong Cao, have you forgotten that Wei Xu has been beheaded by your order?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately came back to his senses. But seeing him groan, he said, "Oh, Lone deliberately let you go, but the master doesn't think it's possible, what should I do?" ”

Feng Xian then said: "Ming Gong's suffering is not more than cloth, and now he has been served, and the world is not enough to worry about; If Ming Gong will step and Ling Bu will ride, then the world is not enough. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but groaned and said, "Well, what General Lu said is not unreasonable. ”

At this time, Liu Bei on the side suddenly said: "No, has Ming Gong forgotten the matter between Lu Bu and Ding Jianyang and Dong Taishi?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's what the envoy said." ”

Feng Xian looked at Liu Bei and sneered disdainfully: "I'm afraid that only you, this kid, is the most untrustworthy person." ”

Eventually, Bongxian no longer asks for forgiveness, but is willing to wait for his death. For his actions, I couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of my mouth. Su Qin was killed by the Assassins, and then before he died, he devised a plan to avenge himself. Feng Xian's begging for mercy from Cao Cao this time can also be regarded as the same. However, apart from Wu Xin, few people present could understand its intentions. (To be continued.) )
