Chapter 133: Cao Ren flees
But Manzhong just didn't let go, and still pulled him to the South City Gatehouse.
Man Pet ran and ordered the guards behind him: "Keep up, keep up." Let's go to the South Gate Tower to change clothes. ”
So more than a dozen people didn't care about the darkness inside and outside the city, and just fled to the south gate tower by themselves.
Man Zhong didn't let go until he got here, and while talking to Cao Ren, he hurriedly took out the key to open the door, and ordered the sentry: "Watch the gate, no one is allowed to come in." ”
Man Chong pushed open the door and said to Cao Ren, "Zixiao, go in quickly." As he spoke, he pushed Cao Ren into the door, and then followed up himself.
After Man Zhong entered the door, he pulled Cao Ren under the window on the north side, dragged out the camphor wood box from under the case, opened the box and instructed Cao Ren: "Zixiao, don't talk nonsense, for the sake of Cao Gong's great cause, let's start to change into the clothes of the Jingzhou Sailor." ”
At this time, Cao Ren knew his intentions, and asked with some suspicion: "Can this work?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, you have to do it.
I have long followed your orders and bought a patrol boat of the Jingzhou Naval Division.
The Du Bo in charge of the boat was named Luo Changshan, who was originally a water thief who relied on the Han River to plunder for a living, and later defected to the Han River Naval Division, and was incorporated into the Naval Division as a chief, with two sailor soldiers, driving a fast boat to patrol the river in the Han River.
I'll pay him more, and he'll take us out.
I've reported these things to you a few times before, but you don't want to listen to them.
That's all there is to it now, so let's change our clothes. ”
After Man Zhong finished speaking, he helped him change his clothes without waiting for Cao Ren to reply.
Man Zhong waited for Cao Ren to change his clothes, and then ordered the eight guards to change into the clothes of the Jingzhou Sailor, and then changed them himself.
Now that all the arrangements were stopped, Man Pet ordered everyone not to move in the house, and went out of the building gate to the edge of the city to inspect the city.
I saw that at this time, the inside of Fancheng had already become a pot of porridge, and Cao Bing, who was chased and killed by Jingzhou soldiers, fled all over the street like headless flies, rushed into the ranks of refugees, lost his weapons, took off his clothes, pretended to be refugees, and fled outside the south gate of the refugees.
Full pet came to the south gate tower again, leaned over to look out, only to see that after these refugees escaped from the city gate, some fled to the bank of the Han River, and the rest fled to the east and west sides, this scene was very chaotic, calling for children and daughters to call for fathers and mothers, children crying, mules and horses screaming mixed together, directly creating a scene of the end of the world on the north bank of the Han River.
Looking at the Jingzhou Naval Division in the Han River, all of them have already parked their warships on the water, some of the sailor soldiers have landed there to direct and guide the refugee team, and several teams of sailor soldiers have walked towards the city with weapons.
It's just that the refugees pouring out of the city are like a tide, and it is difficult for these Jingzhou sailors to squeeze into the city for a while.
Seeing that the time had come, Man Chong immediately turned around and returned to the West City Gate Tower, and beckoned Cao Ren and the guards: "Let's go." Follow me. ”
So a group of ten people got down the city wall and rushed out of the city in a group of refugees.
After the full pet and his party squeezed out of the city gate, they walked down the bank of the Han River.
At that time, it was so chaotic, whether it was the Jingzhou sailors in the Han River or the Fancheng refugees who fled for their lives in a hurry on the shore, no one paid attention to them.
So Man Pet and his entourage walked downstream along the bank of the Han River, greeting and guiding the refugee team as they walked, and they walked a long distance until they came to Luo Long's patrol boat, which did not arouse the suspicion and interrogation of others.
In this way, Luo Changjiao drove the boat down the Xiangjiang River and rushed downstream, and when it was dark, he came to Luo Changshan's hometown, a small fishing village called Luojiawan and hid, and when the war was over in the future, he disguised himself as a fisherman and a merchant and fled back to Yuzhou and went to Xiahou Yuan. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Just when Cao Ren was full of favors and fled with ** Cao soldiers, the war in Fancheng was in a hurry.
After Wei Yan rode into the city, he felt that it was very awkward to fight on horseback, so he jumped off his horse and commanded several lieutenants to lead the troops to chase and kill Cao Bing, and ordered: "As long as Cao Bing resists stubbornly in the city, he will be killed." If they escape from the city, they will not have to be pursued, and if they escape, they will not escape our net. ”
So he led a thousand death squads, each carrying a waist knife and a quiver hanging from his waist, and rushed to Fancheng Yamen like a fierce god, looking for Cao Ren to fight.
As soon as he rushed to the west of the yamen, he saw the fire in the yamen, and he didn't know who set the fire, Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to run forward: "Rush into the yamen with fire, search for officers everywhere, as long as you see the officers, arrest them immediately, and those who resist will be punished on the spot." ”
The soldiers rushed over like a whirlwind, and as soon as they arrived in the courtyard of the yamen, they only heard a loud click, and the roof of the lobby of the main house of the yamen was burned down, and the beams that were thick on the roof were burned off, and the entire roof collapsed.
The fire became more and more ferocious, and all that could be heard was the sound of the butt mother-in-law, and the people roasted by the fire did not dare to move forward.
So Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to leave the fire: "Go to the place where there is no fire and search for Cao Ren and Man Pet!" Toilets, wells, etc. What to see here at the fire? Can they still hide in the fire? ”
So the soldiers searched separately until it was dark, and when they caught a few junior officials, and when they tortured them, they all said that they had never seen the chief general and military division since the thunder sounded, and they must have been killed by the thunder: "The thunder of the sky shook the whole city to death." My family's commander and military advisor are all commanding the battle at the north city gate, so aren't they killed by the thunder? I'm afraid I'm already crushed, where can I still find a trace. ”
Wei Yan didn't give up, and scolded in his heart: "I've been holding my breath for a long time, and I've been holding it for a few years, so I want to compete with this Cao Cao's henchman for three hundred rounds, but it's a pity that there is no chance again." ”
Besides, after Liu Cong ordered Wei Yan to lead his troops into Fancheng, he led two thousand reserves and stayed outside the city to observe the development of the situation. After waiting for half an hour, I saw the refugees pouring out of the south of Fancheng fleeing westward, and knowing that Wei Yan had led troops to occupy Fancheng, he ordered the deputy general beside him: "Lead the two troops into the city to check it, and if it has occupied the yamen, come back and report." ”
The adjutant general came back from entering the city for a while, saying that General Wei had occupied the yamen and was fighting the fire at this time, so he specially ordered the last general to come back and invite the lord to enter the city. ”
Liu Cong asked, "Is there a fierce battle in the city?" The adjutant replied: "There is a street fight." However, most of the fighting had ended, and by this time our army had formed many patrols and were patrolling the streets according to General Wei's orders to maintain law and order in Fancheng. Please rest assured that the lord will enter the city. ”
Liu Cong laughed and said, "Am I afraid of the chaos in the city that I dare not enter the city?" Huh? Hehe. With that, he turned over and walked in the middle of the team, and entered Fancheng like this.
