Chapter 25 Zhao Botao captures Cao Wenlie

The next day, everyone still gathered in Guan Yu's tent early in the morning, and after learning about the situation from Liu Bi and Gong Du himself yesterday, Zhao Feng was sure that Du Yuan did not know that they had defected to Liu Bei, so he could let the two of them enter the city to surrender by surprise, so as to attack him unprepared. Of course, the two of them are naturally not enough, and at least hundreds of people will be brought with them at that time, so it is said that Guan Yu attacked Runan and was forced to come to Du Yuan, and Du Yuan will not be suspicious.

At this time, Zhao Feng saw that everyone had almost arrived, and immediately said to Guan Yu: "Second General, I think it is best for Leader Liu and Leader Gong to go to the city at night, so that we may be able to go down in one go, and it is easy to be exposed if so many of us follow behind in broad daylight." ”

"That's right, then let's continue to attack the city during the day today." Guan Yu thought about it, but it obviously couldn't wait during the day, and it seemed that there was nothing else to do at the moment except to attack the city.

At this time, Hao Meng took the initiative to ask for help: "Second general, I, Hao Meng, have not made an inch of merit since I defected to the lord. This Du Yuan is afraid of the second general Huwei now and does not dare to fight, so it is better for me to call a challenge, maybe this guy will fight. Won't it be all right if I slash him with a single sword? "To say that this Hao Meng is indeed a little anxious, among the eight strong generals, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba are very trusted by Liu Bei, Song Xian and Wei Xu also made a contribution to the raid on Lei Book with Zhao Feng last time, and now even Hou Cheng has just pacified Xiangcheng. Although it was just an empty city, it was equivalent to the credit of picking it up for nothing, but it was a county that was finally taken. Among the people who have gone on several expeditions, only he has not yet made contributions, and Hao Meng is really anxious.

"Huh?" Guan Yu looked at Hao Meng and estimated his martial arts in his heart. According to Liao Hua, Du Yuan's martial arts are worse than him, and this Hao Meng's martial arts and Liao Hua are only between the best, if Du Yuan really dares to fight, maybe Hao Meng can really bring some surprises.

"General Hao, Du Yuan's guy is extremely timid, I'm afraid he won't fight if he says anything." Liao Hua shook his head with a wry smile and said, but Hao Meng said disapprerovingly: "No matter what, you have to try, even if we don't fight, let's attack the city again." ”

"It's okay, if General Hao wants to fight, it's okay, but you have to be careful." Guan Yu just made a decision, Zhao Feng looked at Hao Meng who was fighting proudly, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with thinking about it.

On the city of Qian County, "General, the enemy general Hao Meng is calling for battle under the city!" "A sentry reported to Du Yuanyu." Hao Meng? Du Yuan was stunned when he heard that it was him who challenged, and Cao Xiu on the side heard that it was Hao Meng and hurriedly asked, "But Hao Meng, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu in the past?" ”

"Exactly!" The sentry replied honestly.

"In that case, wait for me to go out and kill this person to strengthen my momentum." Cao Xiu waved his hand and ordered the guards to prepare weapons and armor, but Du Yuan on the side was still a little uneasy: "Young General, Hao Meng is a general of Lu Bu, presumably he is proficient in martial arts, and the young general needs to be careful." ”

"Du Taishou rest assured, although I haven't fought against this Hao Meng in Puyang, he hasn't been able to go through thirty rounds under my uncle Cao Ren, I think I'm still better than him." Cao Xiu naturally knew that Du Yuan was not really worried about himself, but he still reassured him.

"That's good!" Du Yuan was also relieved, and then went to the city wall to sweep the battle for Cao Xiu.

said that Hao Meng challenged the scolding array under the city, but he was overjoyed when he saw the city gate "creak" open. But when he saw that it was a young general who went out, it didn't seem like Du Yuan, and he suddenly muttered a little in his heart, so he asked first to understand.

"Who is coming? But Du Yuan? Hao Meng shouted loudly when the other party approached.

"Cao Xiu, Cao Wenlie, Hao Meng, let's die!" Cao Xiu didn't want to say much after reporting his name, and directly slapped his horse and danced his gun to fight, Hao Meng was furious, and waved his knife to meet and kill together. After only five or six rounds of fighting, Hao Meng was surprised: this Cao Xiu looks like he is only in his twenties, how can he be so good at martial arts, it seems that he is even higher than himself. Thinking so in his heart, the kung fu in his hands was even more discounted. Finally, after more than 30 rounds of fighting, he was stabbed in the left shoulder by Cao Xiu, if it wasn't too slow to dodge, this time it would have hit the chest.

"The wind is tight, it's!" Hao Meng was originally a thief in the green forest, but this loss was so anxious that he shouted out all the jargon of the past, and he even ran back desperately on his horse. Cao Xiu didn't chase after him, but laughed loudly on the horse: "Such a martial art dares to call the battle, Xuzhou is really unpopular!" Seeing Cao Xiu's victory, the defenders of the city were even more happy to beat drums again and again.

"Huh?" In the military tent, Guan Yu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Hao Meng returning with an injury. "The last general is incompetent, and he can't defeat that Cao Xiu, please punish the second general." Hao Meng covered her wound and said with shame on her face.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, what, General Hao, didn't you lose in the hands of Du Yuan?" Guan Yu listened to Hao Meng's words, and he understood a little.

"Exactly, the last general will lose in the hands of Cao Xiu." Hao Meng replied.

"Who is Cao Xiu?" Guan Yu asked everyone in the tent, Zhao Feng was about to speak, and Li Yan on the side had already replied first: "Cao Xiu is the nephew of the Cao Ying clan, although he is only over twenty years old, he is proficient in martial arts and knows the art of war, but he is not in Xuchang for some reason, but in Qianjun. "Don't say he doesn't know, even Zhao Feng, a prophetic traverser, definitely didn't expect that Cao Xiu would be stranded here because of his illness.

"Hmph, the little one who has not dried up, wait for me to kill him." After listening to Li Yan's introduction, Guan Yu suddenly couldn't hold back. "The second general is angry, forgive this kid why do you need the second general to come out, wait for me to capture him alive." But it was Zhao Feng who stepped forward and took the initiative to ask.

"Huh? Bo Tao is willing to go, but he needs to be careful. Guan Yu saw that it was Zhao Feng, and he knew Zhao Feng's martial arts well, and he knew that Zhao Feng would definitely win and be undefeated this time, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

The reason why Zhao Feng asked for war was not all a whim. When he knew that Cao Xiu was also in Qianjun, he suddenly keenly felt that this was a good opportunity. If this nephew of Cao Ying's clan can be captured, it will at least be of great benefit to the entire Yuzhou war situation. But when it comes to capturing alive, Guan Yu's martial arts follow a routine of opening and closing, and it is much more difficult for him to capture a person alive than to kill a person in seconds. On the contrary, his marksmanship is soft and rigid, and if he wants to capture alive, he will have a greater chance of success.

Besides, Cao Xiu, with his body recovering from a serious illness, he should have accepted it when he won a game. But he is now just over twenty years old, and the young man will inevitably compete and be competitive, so he will continue to show off his strength and call for battle in front of Guan Yu's army.

"Huh?" Cao Xiu suddenly saw another group of people in Guan Yuzhai, led by a young general, who looked just the same age as himself. "I will be named, and I will not kill the nameless rats." Cao Xiu feels very good about himself now, and he preemptively called the battle.

"Xuzhou Zhonglang will Zhao Feng, Zhao Botao, Cao Xiu Xiaoer, suffer death!" Zhao Feng was also too lazy to fight any verbal battles, so he directly slapped his horse and stepped forward to fight Cao Xiu. Between the two horses, the two were already in a battle.

It has been almost six years since Zhao Feng crossed over to this world. In the past six years, except for the first year when he was a pavilion chief in Pingyuan County, he didn't practice martial arts much, and then he went to Pingyuan County to join the army, and Zhao Feng has never relaxed his martial arts training. In addition to the diligent practice every day, there is no shortage of heads-up with Guan Yu or Zhang Fei in three days. Zhao Feng estimated that his current martial arts, although they were slightly worse than those of a fierce general like Guan Zhang, were only a line, almost at the same level as Zhang Liao or Tai Shici.

As for Cao Xiu, he is obviously not enough for Zhao Feng to see. The two had only fought for more than ten rounds, and Cao Xiu only felt that every time his spear stabbed out, the other party seemed to be able to resolve it with a heavy lift. And every time the weapons intersected, Cao Xiu felt that his weapons were almost swept away, and he could only continue to fight with all his strength to hold the barrel of the gun.

After another round of fighting, Zhao Feng almost figured out Cao Xiu's strength, and now he no longer used Tai Chi marksmanship, but changed to the Yang family's marksmanship to attack and attack. Cao Xiu was already inferior to martial arts, and this time Zhao Feng suddenly changed his moves, and he was even more caught off guard when he saw that the opponent's moves were getting faster and faster, and after barely blocking seven moves, he was finally stabbed in the left shoulder by Zhao Feng with a shot, and then Zhao Feng swept off the horse across the barrel of the gun.

"Tie up with me!" Zhao Feng pressed the tip of his gun against Cao Xiu's throat, and several soldiers with quick hands and feet quickly followed, and tied Cao Xiu into a big dumpling with thick hemp rope. "Du Yuan, listen to me, quickly open and surrender, I can still spare your life. Otherwise, I will cut this Cao Xiu with a thousand knives, and neither we nor Cao Xiu will let you go when the time comes! Zhao Feng noticed that a person who looked like a general had been watching from the city, and it was estimated that he was Du Yuan, so he made threatening words, trying to scare this timid person.

Du Yuan was at a loss at the head of the city, but unexpectedly, Cao Xiu, who was tied into a zongzi, was already anxious to shout: "Du Taishou, don't care about me, don't open the city and surrender, otherwise my Cao clan will be all gone!" I, Cao Xiu, will die if I die today, and my uncle won't blame you when he learns about it! ”

"Shut his mouth for me!" Zhao Feng was a little angry. At this moment, a white-haired old man walked up to the city tremblingly, and said as loudly as possible to Cao Xiu under the city: "Nephew Wenlie, I can't save you today, so I can only defend the city." I only hope that you would rather die than give in, and don't insult the prestige of my Cao family. ”

"Hmm!" Cao Xiu, who was gagged, couldn't speak, but still nodded vigorously. Seeing this situation, Zhao Feng immediately understood that this old man was afraid that he was the elder of the Cao clan, and with him speaking, it was no longer realistic to use Cao Xiu to force Du Yuan to surrender.

"Take him to General Guan, I don't believe this kid is useless." Zhao Feng said hatefully, and several of his personal soldiers escorted Cao Xiu and returned to the big tent with Zhao Feng to see Guan Yu. At this time, the gate of the city of Qiaojun had been closed again, and the remaining more than 1,000 people who had not had time to enter the city knew that they could not do anything, and they all surrendered one after another.
