Chapter 117: Decisive Battle of Fengyang (8)

The bowstring sounded, and an arrow shot out. βŠ™ βŠ™ pointβŠ™ Xiao βŠ™ said, w βŠ• wwco♀m

"Bang Bang!"

Cao Wenzhao's war horse screamed, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

It had a trembling arrow stuck in its front leg.

Cao Wenzhao fell off the war horse in embarrassment, but his kung fu was really good, and he rolled to resolve the crisis of possible falls.

Lu Bu also dismounted, and then walked towards Cao Wenzhao with Fang Tian's halberd.

After Cao Wenzhao stood up, he shook his somewhat cloudy head, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Lu Bu walking towards him.

He hurriedly picked up his spear, and then looked at Lu Bu with a solemn expression.

He was deeply touched by how terrifying the strength of the man in front of him was, and it was really difficult to defeat him with his strength.

Lu Bu strode up to him, and the two immediately fought.

The other white robes had no intention of stepping forward to help, they all knew Lu Bu's strength, and they believed that Lu Bu would definitely win.

The truth was not what they expected, Cao Wenzhao only supported a dozen rounds under his men, and the spear was knocked out, and then he was knocked to the ground by Lu Bu.

Looking at Fang Tian's halberd pointing at his throat, Cao Wenzhao's face was desperate.

"Take them to King Qin."

Lu Bu said.

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao suddenly ignited a glimmer of hope.

Maybe he could beg Lu Yan and let him let Xiong Tingbi go.

So he didn't resist anymore, but let them tie him up.

****

****

The cold wind gently blew Lu Yan's long hair, and looking at the scene of victory, Lu Yan's face was full of smiles.

The big picture is settled!

At this time, a large number of soldiers were pouring out of the camp, and then with artillery ready to bombard the Ming army that was still ready to resist.

As long as the formation of the Ming army is disrupted, and then the cavalry is charged, what follows is a one-sided slaughter.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan completely put his mind at ease.

At this time, Lu Bu brought two people over.

After seeing Xiong Tingbi, he was overjoyed at first.

Although he hadn't seen Xiong Tingbi, when he saw his python robe, he knew that he must be Xiong Tingbi.

But soon found Cao Wenzhao behind Xiong Tingbi, which made his expression stunned for a while, and then an indescribable taste came to his heart.

Cao Wenzhao also looked at him in a daze, and the two didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hurry up and untie Brother Cao, do you treat my Brother Cao like this?"

Lu Yan sighed and said.

He and Cao Wenzhao are their own masters after all, and this kind of thing is sometimes difficult to be regarded as betrayal or betrayal.

Cao Wenzhao was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he knew this from the beginning.

Even if it is a hostile camp, don't there be rivals who sympathize with each other?

What's more, Cao Wenzhao saved his and his sister's lives, which can be regarded as a matter of evening.

"Lu Yan, can you let Master Xiong go?"

Cao Wenzhao refused the move of those people to untie the rope for him, and instead said to Lu Yan.

"I don't need you to intercede with me, you traitor!"

Xiong Tingbi said angrily to Cao Wenzhao, and after speaking, he spat Cao Wenzhao fiercely.

Cao Wenzhao didn't argue, just bowed his head and kept silent.

Because he has argued many times, but Xiong Tingbi doesn't believe it at all.

This made Lu Yan extremely confused, when did Cao Wenzhao betray Daming, how could he not know.

But soon he came back to his senses, it should be Xiong Tingbi who thought that Cao Wenzhao had revealed his plan to himself, so he said this.

"Lord Xiong, your plan was not revealed to me by Brother Cao, but by the people in your court."

Lu Yan said with a smile.

Xiong Tingbi looked at him with disbelief, he should have wanted to exonerate Cao Wenzhao.

"Even the letter you wrote asking for a temporary suspension of resistance to the Jurchens and priority in exterminating me."

Lu Yan said with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but be speechless.

The content of his recital did not tell anyone in Fengyang Mansion, and Lu Yan was able to tell his general meaning, indicating that there were indeed people in the court who were secretly colluding with him.

"What a bunch of goddamn bastards."

Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but scold angrily.

He never imagined that he would be defeated in the court thousands of miles away.

It's just that he still has some doubts, he remembers that he has carefully investigated those brocade guards, and he has not found that Lu Yan's troops have been transferred on a large scale, so how did he transfer more than 20,000 cavalry to Fengyang.

"Lord Xiong, you don't have to be angry, not only are there a large number of courtiers who will secretly communicate with me now, but after learning the result of this battle, there will only be more people who secretly take refuge in me."

Lu Yan said in a mocking tone.

After speaking, he glanced at Cao Wenzhao and found that he glanced at him with a slightly grateful look, and he knew that Lu Yan was exonerating him.

"As for letting you go? That's impossible! How can you say that Lord Xiong, you are a famous general, much stronger than those wine bags and rice bags, how can you easily return to the mountain. ”

"Although I will not let go of Lord Xiong, I can guarantee that he will live the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing, and of course it would be better if he was willing to join me. I guarantee that he will enjoy the wealth of high-ranking officials in this life. ”

"Can't you just let the bear go?"

Cao Wenzhao said in a pleading tone.

Lu Yan glanced at him, and then continued to raise his head and say:

"Do you know what will happen to Lord Bear if I release Lord Bear?"

Xiong Tingbi nodded bitterly.

Of course, he knew that the First Battle of Fengyang was a battle related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, the imperial court dispatched the most elite border troops under the condition of very tight troops, and it was definitely determined that Xu Sheng would not be defeated.

But I didn't expect it to fail in the end.

Fengyang is not as good as other places, he is the place where Ming Taizu started, and it is where the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty is located, and in this place of special significance, he lost a crucial war, which may cause countless people to think about it.

Is Daming's national fortune going to play with eggs?

Otherwise, how could they be defeated in this place?

In addition, Lu Yan is likely to attack Fengyang City, and even if he is let go back at that time, I am afraid that there will only be a dead end.

Cao Wenzhao suddenly realized, he thought about it carefully, and finally decided not to persuade Lu Yan to let Xiong Tingbi go back, but hoped that he would treat Xiong Tingbi well.

Regarding Cao Wenzhao's request, Lu Yan of course agreed with his mouth.

"Brother Cao, I hope you can bring a word to the imperial court."

Lu Yan continued.

"What?"

Cao Wenzhao asked.

"I hope to be able to negotiate peace with the imperial court, and then fight against the Jurchens together."

Lu Yan said.

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi and Cao Wenzhao were stunned.

Shouldn't it be Lu Yan who led his men to kill the Quartet, pacify Jiangnan, and then wave his army north to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty?

Why do you want to fight against the Jurchens with the imperial court again, this is unreasonable.

"Jiannu will soon be imprisoned, and I can't bear to let the people at the border be brutalized by Jiannu again. As long as the Ming Dynasty agrees to form an alliance with me to fight against the Houjin, I can guarantee to stop attacking Jiangnan. Of course, as a sign of sincerity, I am willing to give up attacking Fengyang. ”

Lu Yan said.

For the impoverished place of Fengyang, Lu Yan really didn't have any interest.

Xiong Tingbi and Cao Wenzhao were both a little dizzy, and they felt that Lu Yan's thoughts were a little strange.

Shouldn't everyone who fights the world be ruthless?

Why did Lu Yan take pity on the people.

Lu Yan did not forget what the gods told him when he had just crossed over, when he obtained this system, to save the fate of the Han people.

Of course, that's what he's always wanted to do.

The Jurchens had no way and regarded the Han people as slaves.

Now that the Jurchens are imminent, he is willing to join hands with Daming to fight against the Jurchens for the time being.

He will never forget the first picture he saw when he came to this world, the Han refugees with no end in sight.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.

At that time, he was incapable, but now that he has the ability, of course he has to do something for the Han people.

If he was still dragging Da Ming back when he learned that the Jurchens were about to enter the prison, then he would be uneasy.

"I don't think there's a problem."

Xiong Tingbi said without hesitation.

"It's useless for you to promise, only if the emperor agrees."

Lu Yan said with a slight mockery.

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi's face almost turned the color of pork liver.

But it's hard to refute, now that he is a prisoner of the ranks, he really has no qualifications to intervene.

"I hope you can agree faster, I will soon attack Yangzhou City and Nanjing City, I hope you can give me an answer before I take Nanjing City."

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi and Cao Wenzhao were shocked.

"Can you give up fighting Nanjing City?"

Cao Wenzhao asked.

"Can't!"

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "But if the emperor agrees to form an alliance with me, and I haven't captured Nanjing City, then I can give up attacking Nanjing." ”

"You'd better go back quickly and tell the Holy Lord the news."

Xiong Tingbi said to Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao nodded, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Lu Yan: "This time the matter is my ...... I'm sorry for you, I don't dare ask for your forgiveness. I just hope you can understand that I have always been a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. This will not change now, nor will it change in the future. ”

Lu Yan sighed, and then said with a complicated expression: "I understand, each is his master, I don't blame you." ”

Cao Wenzhao glanced at him deeply, then couldn't help but smile, said goodbye to him and turned around and left.

"If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me, what I said to you will always be valid."

Lu Yan said suddenly.

Cao Wenzhao's figure paused, and then quickly left the place, but his eyes were full of gloomy looks.

Even Lu Yan looked at him with a complicated expression.

The next time they meet, I don't know what their identity will be.
