At this time, it was already evening, and Liu Lu, the envoy of Cao Bing, left the canyon with more than 1,000 prisoners and walked towards Cao Ying.

As soon as they left the canyon, Wei Yan hurriedly ordered: "The lord has an order, kill all the captives!"

Several adjutant generals looked at Wei Yan in surprise and asked, "General Wei, do you want to kill prisoners?" This ??????"

"Yes!" Wei Yan shouted: "Kill the prisoners to demonstrate!" Let the people of the world know from now on that the person who follows Cao Cao is a thief! will punish its nine clans! This is the order of the lord. Do it! ”

So the 4,000 Jingzhou soldiers worked together, and in this way, 1,000 Cao soldiers were captured and all killed in the Mushroom Ridge Canyon.

Then, Wei Yan followed Liu Cong's instructions, immediately divided the soldiers and horses into two roads, quickly went out of the canyon, and stayed close to both sides of the Mushroom Ridge cliff, waiting for Cao Ying to change in the north.

At this time, the envoy of Cao Bing with more than 1,000 prisoners had returned to Cao Ying, and when he came to the outside of the Yuanmen, Wang Yihu ordered the sentries to go in and report, and then took the captives to stand outside the Yuanmen, waiting for the order of the main general Liu Lu.

What should be explained here is that the more than 1,000 captives in front of him at this time are all Jingzhou soldiers wearing Cao Bing's clothes.

It turned out that when these Jingzhou soldiers were in the canyon, they took off the clothes from Cao Bing's corpse according to Liu Cong's order, put them on themselves, and waited for a new combat mission. Even Liu Cong also put on Cao Bing's costume and mixed in this group of Cao Bing prisoners dressed as Jingzhou soldiers, waiting to command the next battle.

Now, these thousand pretending to be Cao soldiers have all come to wait outside the gate of this Cao camp.

Where are the real captives?

It turned out that after Liu Cong sent Gou Chang to Cao Ying to deliver the letter, he immediately ordered someone to take the real Cao soldiers prisoner and escort them to the south of the canyon, and sent someone to guard them there. It was these real Cao soldiers who Wei Yan ordered to kill just now.

At this time, Liu Cong was also wearing the clothes of the corpse of the Cao soldiers, pretending to be a prisoner of the Cao soldiers, standing in the prisoner team, waiting for the fighter to appear.

There are also Liang Zhu'er, Lai Fat, Ma Gong'er, and more than a dozen of Liu Cong's personal soldiers, all of whom are wearing the clothes of Cao Bing's corpse at this time, holding weapons in their arms, smearing mud on their faces, and their hair is messy, really like the captive soldiers who were captured alive after defeating the battle, all of them are depressed, wilted, and sloppy.

Wang Yihu and a few of their Cao soldiers' envoys, who could recognize them as Jingzhou soldiers?

At this time, Wang Yihu had already sent sentries into the camp to report to Liu Lu, and he and his four servants stood in front of the captives, waiting for Liu Lu to give an order.

Liu Cong looked up and observed the situation, and felt that the time had come, so he immediately gave Liang Zhu'er a look, and ordered in a low voice: "Go up and do it!" ”

When Liang Zhu'er heard this, he shouted softly: "Lai Fatzi take them with me!" ”

Liang Zhu'er commanded, and shouted loudly: "General Gou, I have something important to report to you!" I have something to say to you. ”

In this way, while stretching out, he took Lai Fatzi's hemp pole and more than a dozen personal soldiers to Gou Changzhao.

Gou Chang'er's shout had not yet reacted, and he was staring at it, when Liang Zhu'er and they surrounded him with a hula, and before Gou Changzhao could speak, they had already sent the secret weapon into the vital point on their bodies.

The five Cao soldier envoys didn't even say anything, so they fell to the ground and died.

When Liu Cong saw it, he shouted: "All teams follow the instructions and do it!" ”

Only a shout was heard, and more than 1,000 Jingzhou soldiers were immediately divided into ten teams, and under the leadership of each team, like ten groups of fierce tigers, shouting and killing, waving weapons, and killing into the Cao camp, they immediately separated, and each team charged and fought in the thick place of the Cao soldiers.

Ma Zhu'er led a dozen soldiers in the back, and watched the large group of men and horses enter the Cao camp, so he rushed to the cattle and grass pile west of Yuanmen and set it on fire.

Together with the fireworks, Wei Yan and Liu Bin and Gong Zhi in the south knew that Liu Cong and they had succeeded, so they divided their troops into three routes, and the whirlwind generally killed the periphery of Cao Ying.

When Liu Cong took Liang Zhu'er Lai Fat and more than a dozen personal soldiers to the door of Zhang Lu's Chinese army tent, Zhang Lu had already come out of the tent with a few deputy generals, and when he heard the sound of killing outside, he asked Liu Cong in surprise: "What's going on outside?" ”

"Lord, after our brothers were captured by Liu Cong, they didn't have a sip of water to drink, let alone eat, at the end of the day. No, when I came back to the door, there was no one to receive me, so I made a fuss, and I was making trouble! ”

Liu Cong leaned forward as he spoke, and Zhang Lu ordered repeatedly: "Get out, go out and have a look!" ”

Liu Cong had already come to him and shouted at Liang Zhu'er: "Don't do it yet!" ”

After shouting, he stepped forward with an arrow, dodged and hugged Liu Lu's neck, wiped the short knife in his right hand on Zhang Lu's neck, and shouted: "Go over and see it yourself!" He let go of Liu Lu's corpse, kicked it, and shouted: "Don't leave any left, kill!" ”

Liang Zhu'er Lai Fat Man and more than a dozen pro-soldiers had already moved, but they could only hear a snorting sound, and several deputy generals and guards did not even shout, and they fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, most of the Cao soldiers were crowded in a pot stove to prepare for dinner, listening to the chaos outside, and the sound of killing sounded, and was in a daze, suddenly saw a few of their own people around, brandishing knives and guns to kill, before they understood what was going on, these few people rushed over, a random chopping and killing, just like the melon chopping vegetables, immediately killed a piece, and the blood flowed in the ground.

When the Cao soldiers saw it, they threw the dishes and chopsticks, shouted, and fled in all directions, and some rushed back to the guys, so they became a pot of porridge, trampling on each other, where can they run?

This Cao soldier was in a hurry, but he gave the Jingzhou soldiers a chance, and after a long period of busy work, they chased Cao Bingmen and escaped from the camp.

Outside Cao Ying, Wei Yan, Liu Bin, and Gong Zhi each led a group of people and horses, and they had already surrounded and killed.

The three groups of men and horses chased after Cao Bing, who was fleeing in all directions, and killed them for a while.

In the twilight, seeing that the fleeing Cao soldiers were missing, Wei Yan rode over and asked Liu Cong: "Lord, our army has won a complete victory!" Do you want to return to the Mushroom Ridge camp? ”

"What are you doing back to Mushroom Ridge? Stay in this Cao Bing camp. Oh, ready-made accommodation, ready-made meals, well, don't eat for nothing. ”

Wei Yan ordered accommodation, and then asked: "Lord, more than a thousand people have been captured in Mushroom Ridge, and none of them have been left!" Chop them all! Outside the camp here, there are still more than 200 Cao soldiers captured, how to deal with it? ”

"Chop!" Liu Cong shouted, and then muttered, "Look who dares to give Cao Cao another life." ”

Wei Yan instructed the adjutant general: "Don't be in a hurry to eat first, take 500 soldiers and horses, go out of the camp, escort these 200 captives to the bottom of Mushroom Ridge, and kill them all!" ”

That night, Liu Cong took 4,000 men and horses to eat and live in Cao's camp.

After dinner, Liu Cong ordered a lieutenant general: "Take a thousand men and horses back to the Mushroom Ridge camp to stay." ”

The deputy general ordered to leave, and Liu Cong ordered to light the candles, and he and the generals sat in the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss military affairs.

Liu Cong asked Wei Yan: "Is there any military intelligence sent over there in Zhoucang at Queweipo?" ”

"Nope."

Liu Cong thought for a moment and said, "Well, there will be no military intelligence." Xiahou Yuan is waiting for the news here, if they win here, Xiahou Yuan will make a move right away. If you know that this side is defeated, well, this ?????? Xiahou Yuan still won't retreat easily.

However, he will definitely plan for a few days before he can make up his mind, and he will only attack Quewei Slope when he is determined.

Okay, Wei Yan, you remember, you will be stationed in this mushroom ridge for two days after tomorrow, resting and cleaning up the battlefield.

Well, I saw that Liu Lu brought a lot of grain and grass, and there were also a lot of horses, so I brought all the grain and rice, and if the horses couldn't carry them, let the soldiers carry them.

Well, and armor should be brought. In particular, arrowheads, bows and crossbows, none of them can be dropped, and all of them can be taken away. ”

Liu Cong instructed here, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring the loot." Well, you immediately send scouts to the two counties of Yiyang and Zaoyang, and order the yamen of the two counties of Yiyang and Zaoyang to immediately organize migrant workers to come over to clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses of Cao Bing. All swords, guns, swords, halberds, and all military supplies were brought back to the yamen treasury of the two counties for sealing. So be it. ”

Wei Yan agreed, and went out of the account to order the scouts to act.

Liu Cong also instructed the two deputy generals around him, each of you to lead a hundred soldiers and horses, stay in these two barracks, and be responsible for inspecting and supervising the migrant workers in the two counties to clean up the battlefield. After the matter was over, he went to Queweipo to report to me. ”048
