Ma Teng didn't want to let Cao Zhang and them into the house at this time, thinking about taking them into the house after dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so he excused himself and said: "The little general wants to check the tunnel, this is as it should be." Otherwise, don't worry. But isn't it better to wait? After dark, the soldiers and horses we went out of the city to attack gathered and asked the little general to send us off with wine. ”

"Well, of course I'll send you off! Yes, hehe. In this case, there is not much time left until dark, so General Ma should hurry up and prepare. If you need something, you can only command, and the whole city will be busy with this matter for you, and you must be satisfied. As long as you succeed, after you leave the city, you will capture Liu Cong alive! ”

So, in front of Cao Zhang and Cao Ren, Ma Teng instructed his servants: "Go home and tell my wife that the little general and the officials of the yamen will come to our house after the second watch tonight to discuss important matters, and ask my wife to prepare early and prepare for reception." ”

Cao Zhang smiled and said: "General Ma is really careful, while dealing with big things, he doesn't let go of small things." Hehe, such a careful person will definitely be able to achieve great things! ”

So, Cao Zhang and the others waited for Ma Teng's house to see off the sneak attack Cao soldiers after dinner, and Ma Teng was busy here to select candidates for the sneak attack Cao soldiers.

It wasn't until dinner that the eighty members of the sneak attack team were selected, and Ma Teng gathered them together, gave a detailed introduction to the purpose and plan of action of the sneak attack, and then arranged for two officers to take them to the dining room for dinner, and ordered them to wait for the order of the next move in the yamen guards' dormitory, "No one is allowed to act without my order." Whoever delays tonight's military operation will be dealt with by military law, and will not be tolerated! ”

Ma Teng finished dealing with the matter here, and when he saw the first watch, he came over and took several major generals and strategists such as Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, Cheng Yu, and others to his home.

Besides, Wei Yan was ordered by Liu Cong to lead his troops to hide outside the east gate of Yecheng in the dark, and when he saw the third watch, he suddenly saw a flash of fire in the crack of the city gate, and then flickered twice.

Wei Yan knew that this was a signal arranged by Ma Teng in the city, and agreed in advance that as long as he saw the fire flickering three times at the city gate, he would know that the city gate had been opened, and he would lead his troops to rush in to kill.

So Wei Yan gave the order to fire the cannons, but only three trumpets were heard, and the five thousand soldiers shouted and shouted together to kill into the city.

At this time, Liu Cong had ordered the lights in the camp to be lit together, and almost at the same time, the other three city gates were also outside the cannon and the sound of killing the sky shook the ground, and 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers entered the Yecheng gate in four ways.

The Cao soldiers in the city, Cao Jiang, because he lost his commander and had no one to command, saw the four gates open and the Jingzhou soldiers rushed in, and they panicked for a while, like a hornet that had been burned by the fire, making a mess and scurrying around.

The Jingzhou soldiers of the four roads lit torches, illuminating the whole city of Yecheng like a white sun, and chased and killed Cao soldiers everywhere by the light of torches.

This battle began at the time of the third watch, and in less than five days, the 10,000 Cao soldiers in the city were killed, wounded, and fled, and disappeared in this way.

At this time, although the sky was slightly bright, Liu Cong's Chinese army tent was still brightly lit.

I saw Liu Cong sitting in the center of the big tent, and there were more than a dozen of Cao Cao's military generals such as Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, and Zhou Xing standing opposite, and behind each of them stood two Jingzhou soldiers and executioners.

Ma Teng, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Ma Yunshan and other Jingzhou generals stood aside, looking at Cao Zhang.

It turned out that after Ma Teng led Cao Zhang and Cao Ren to his home, he closed the door and shouted: "Take it for me!" ”

There was a hula in the room behind the door, and twenty or thirty plainclothes heroes rushed out, Cao Zhang, who was stunned, was captured alive by these heroes.

Cao Zhang and Cao Ren couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so they hurriedly asked, and Ma Teng said with a straight face: "On the orders of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, I will detain you defeated generals who delayed the military plane and wait for interrogation. ”

Cao Ren argued: "Where is the Prime Minister's edict? ”

"Hehehehe, wait a while, the prime minister's handwritten message will naturally be delivered."

At this moment, the trumpets outside the city were full of cannons, and the sound of killing sounded, and the mountains roared like a tsunami. Ma Teng smiled: "It's here." Let's go see Liu Zhizhong in Jingzhou. You go together, and the last general will arrest you on the orders of Liu Zhizhong. Ma Teng said that he ordered the guards to bring in the Jingzhou soldiers of the brigade, and then handed over Cao Zhang and Cao Ren to them, and asked them to escort them to Liu Cong outside the city.

(At this time, Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, and they had just been escorted over, and Liu Cong was talking to them.)

Liu Cong asked: "Cao Zhang has been captured alive by our army, are you willing to surrender?" ”

"It's not your job, it's a trick I fell for Ma Teng. If you are captured in a real fight on the battlefield, I will surrender. Failed like this, I am not reconciled, and I will definitely not surrender! Cao Zhangqi said fiercely.

Liu Cong knew that he couldn't surrender, and if he had a little integrity, he wouldn't surrender, so if he surrendered easily, how could he do it to other fathers Cao Cao? Other people can surrender, Cao Zhang and Cao Ren will not surrender, Liu Cong knows.

So after listening to Cao Zhang's answer, Liu Cong laughed and hated: "I was captured alive, and I didn't want to surrender." Then there is only one dead end. Speaking of this, he deliberately threatened Cao Zhangdao: "Left and right, pull Cao Zhang and Cao Hong out for me!" ”

I only heard a loud cry outside the door, and four executioners rushed in, fierce and vicious, twisted Cao Zhang's arm and dragged him out, only to see Cao Zhang turn around and say fiercely: "If you want to kill, kill it, what kind of temper?" However, I am not willing to die! It's a pity that you fell for the thief's trick! Liu Cong, I am really unwilling to be executed like this, you have the ability to fight one-on-one with me on the battlefield"

When Liu Cong heard this, he shouted: "Stop!" Then he turned his face and instructed Ma Zhu'er: "Prepare two war horses for me, I want to compete with Cao Cao's precious son!" You can't convince him! Ma Zhu'er agreed to go out and prepare to go.

Liu Cong asked Cao Ren: "Cao Ren, are you willing to compete with me?" You compete with me first, so that Cao Zhang's eyes can be opened. Hehe. Cao Ren kept his head down and remained silent.

Liu Cong didn't force it, and then said: "Forget it, Cao Ren will testify next to me and see how I defeated Cao Zhang." From now on, let your Cao Ying's men and horses know my Liu Cong's ability, surrender to the court as soon as possible, and don't continue to fight against the court! ”

At this time, Ma Gong'er came in and told him that the horses were ready, so Liu Cong got up and took Cao Zhang's arm and said, "Let's go." Outside the door is an open field, just fighting. We first set up a paperwork, and in the midst of the fight, whether we are dead or injured, we will bear the consequences. ”

When Liu Cong said this, he asked Cao Zhang with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

Before Cao Chang could answer, Cao Ren persuaded him: "Zhang'er, this is already the case, don't be reckless anymore, accept your fate." To tell the truth, none of us are Liu Cong's opponents, so don't be embarrassed in front of the three armies! ”

Cao Zhang was also unwilling to pout, arguing: "You are afraid of him Liu Cong, but I am not afraid!" He doesn't have three heads and six arms, what are you afraid of? ”

Liu Cong smiled: "Okay, good, backbone." I just like people with backbone. However, I also like to teach people who are not self-conscious! ”

Cao Zhang glared at Liu Cong with a pair of bull's eyes and asked, "You say, who is the person who is not self-sufficient?" ”

"Your father Cao Cao is a person who does not measure himself. He thinks he is invincible in the world, but he ignores one fact - the Yangtze River pushes the front, and the new people in the world replace the old people.

Hehe, and you, because you are Cao Cao's son, Cao Cao gave you the opportunity to lead the troops. It's not that you have the ability, but that you are a noble! Today, since you don't know what you can do, I will let you see it so that you can see the world correctly from now on. ”

At this time, he had already gone out of the tent, and there were two war horses tied to the wooden stakes next to the flagpole in the distance, both of which had been prepared in the saddle, Liu Cong pointed to the two war horses and asked Cao Zhang: "Do you like that war horse?" ”

Cao Zhang pointed to a horse in the distance and said, "That green-maned horse will do!" ”

"That's good. That war horse is impatient by nature, I'm afraid General Cao will be difficult to control! I'll help General Cao get on his horse! ”

Liu Cong said, grabbed Cao Zhang's back, grabbed Cao Zhang's hand like Lao Yang grabbed a chicken, and then lifted it up, held Cao Zhang in the air, and shouted: "General Cao close his eyes and ride a horse!" ”

After shouting, he waved his arm, and saw Cao Zhang in the air like a broken bag full of debris, drawing an arc and flying towards the back of the green-maned horse.

The blue-maned horse was taken aback, jumped up suddenly, snorted, and lifted Cao Zhang off the horse.

At about this time, Cao Zhang had passed out, nesting motionless next to the green-maned horse, not knowing that he had been kicked by the green-maned horse's hooves.

When Liu Cong saw it, he ordered the guards to escort Cao Ren Chengyu and them: "Go over and pull up Cao Zhang, detain him together, eat three meals a day, and serve them well." ”

After Liu Cong finished speaking, he looked at Cao Ren, and said: "I, Liu Cong, am poor in the mountains and rivers here, and I can't support these generals of the Cao family." Let's ask Cao Ren and Cao Zhang to go back to Cao Ying. Go to Cao Cao, send him a message to me, and persuade him to surrender to the court as soon as possible and strive for leniency.

Besides, if he doesn't surrender, there is no way out, the general trend has been decided, hehe, the defeat has been decided, and he has no power to return to heaven.

Well, Cao Ren, you tell Cao Cao that as long as he surrenders to the court from now on, I will guarantee that he will have no worries about food and clothing all year round! ”

After dealing with these things, three days later, Liu Cong lived in the Yecheng Yamen and began to think about two things, one is how to stabilize the political situation in Hebei, and the other is to prepare to march to Chang'an.

The first thing was easy to do, and Liu Cong said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang, the major affairs of Hebei will be entrusted to you to manage." See, is there any difficulty? ”014
