Under the city of Xiangyang, Cao Ying sat on a large army, waiting for Liu Biao to send his son as a hostage. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but I waited for two days, and I didn't have any news. Liu Bei ran farther and farther, and heard that Sun Ce had taken Changsha and Guiyang, and Cao Ying's mood was extremely bad. But Liu Biao didn't send his son, and he couldn't lead his troops away. In case Liu Biao intercepts his grain, he will have a headache!

Of course, there is another way to attack Xiangyang. But Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, and the reason why Cao Ying sent troops to Jingzhou was to help him. If he attacks Xiangyang, Cao Ying will have no excuse! Although Cao Ying often backtracks, it was also forced to be helpless, otherwise he wouldn't want to break his word and get fat!

"Lord Qi, there are people outside the camp who ask to see!" Cao Ying was sitting in the big tent, and when his face was full of confusion, a small school walked in.

"Isn't Mo Liu Biao's messenger?" Cao Ying's heart turned and said, "Please!" ”

"See Cao Gong!" Under the leadership of Xiao Xiaoxiao, Pang Tong entered Cao Ying's big tent.

"Excuse me!" Seeing Pang Tong, Cao Ying frowned.

You can't blame Cao Ying, Pang Tong is so ugly! With a height of about one meter and five, a collapsed nose, small eyes, and a shoehorn face, plus a face full of pockmarks, like a beach after the rain, this appearance is not Cao Ying, even if it is Liu Zhang, you have to frown at first sight!

"How could Liu Jingsheng send such a cargo?" Cao Ying was puzzled in his heart, and Lian Yue was in a bad mood, so he asked arrogantly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to see the hero Cao Mengde, who would have expected it to be like this!" Pang Tong is talented and has a temper. Seeing that Cao Ying didn't even ask his name, he commanded him, and he thought that Cao Ying was judging people by his appearance.

"Bold!" Cao Ying was already in a bad mood, and seeing that Pang Tong was so presumptuous, he said angrily: "Liu Jingsheng doesn't want to die?" I sent you! Come! ”

"What does Liu Jingsheng have to do with me?" Pang Tong blinked his eyes and looked puzzled.

"Huh?" Cao Ying was stunned for a moment and asked, "You are not Liu Jingsheng's envoy, so who are you?" ”

"I..." Pang Tong had an urge to beat people, and at the same time dispelled the idea of defecting to Cao Ying, he asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Prime Minister Cao, have you ever heard rumors about Jingzhou?" ”

"What's the rumor?" Seeing Pang Tongshen's mystery, Cao Ying was even more displeased.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "It is rumored in Jingzhou that Wolong and Phoenix Chicks will have to settle the world!" I don't know if Prime Minister Cao Cheng is interested? ”

"It's nature!" Cao Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this, he didn't know about Wolong and Fengxiao, but he didn't have specific information, and there was no way to find it.

"I'm here to recommend talents!" Pang Tong said with a smile: "Wolong's real name is Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming, a native of Langya Yangdu, and now he lives in seclusion forty miles outside Xiangyang City, a place called Wollongong, Wollongong belongs to Longzhong. As for Feng Xiao, the surname Pang is the name of the Tongzi Shiyuan, and he is from Xiangyang. ”

"Oops! Thank you sir! Cao Ying was overjoyed and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Tell me, I really didn't know that Dacai was by my side!" ”

"You're welcome, I can't bear to let the pearl be dusty!" Pang Tong arched his hand and said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng, go and visit Wolong and Phoenix Chicks!" In the next farewell! ”

"Sir, slow down!" Cao Ying chased out the big tent and asked, "Dare to ask Mr.'s name!" ”

"I have a famous thorn, the prime minister asks the colonel!" The voice came, and Pang Tong had already walked out of the Cao army camp and soon disappeared.

Looking at Pang Tong's distant figure, Cao Ying suddenly felt as if he had missed something, and he immediately called the little colonel and asked, "Did that person have a famous thorn just now?" ”

"Stay!" The little colonel held the famous thorn in both hands, and when Cao Ying looked at it, his eyes were straight!

"Xiangyang Pang Tong? Mr. Feng Chi! Cao Ying grabbed the pawn's collar and roared angrily, "Why didn't you give it to me earlier?" ”

"I..." Xiao Xiao was pulled by Cao Ying's collar, and he was out of breath, and his face turned red. In fact, it's not that Xiao Xiao didn't give the famous thorn to Cao Ying, but Cao Ying was in a bad mood and didn't notice the famous thorn in Xiao Xiaoxiao's hand!

"Someone!" Cao Ying pushed the little colonel violently, and said to the four guards who rushed in: "Drag him down and behead him!" Heads hung outside the tent for public display! If anyone dares to make the same mistake again, the clan will be destroyed! ”

"My lord! Spare your life..."In a terrible shout, the little colonel was dragged out. Soon, a man's head hung on the flagpole outside the Chinese army's tent.

Missing out on Pang Tong, Cao Ying was very depressed in his heart, but he remembered what Pang Tong said, and suddenly remembered Mr. Wolong, forty miles outside Xiangyang City. He immediately called the Xiahou brothers, ordered three thousand tigers and leopards to ride, and went to Longzhong.

"Lord, it's just a scholar, why bother you to go in person, I don't believe it, you recruit as a prime minister, he doesn't dare to come!" Xia Hou Dun poked the blindfold on his face with his fingers, which was very imposing as a pirate king.

"You kid, you're still so reckless!" Cao Ying shook his head with a smile and said, "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are both great talents, and talented people naturally have tempers. I missed Mr. Feng Xiao, how can I lose Wolong again? Don't talk nonsense, you go with me honestly, if you offend Mr. Wolong, be careful that I pick your skin! ”

"Uh..." Xiahou Dun was stunned, but he didn't dare not listen to Cao Ying's words, so he had to close his mouth and follow behind.

Forty miles is not far away, and under the protection of the tiger and leopard riders, Cao Ying only took an hour to come to Wollongong. Looking at the bamboo forest, flowing water, small bridges, and thatched houses, forming a paradise-like beauty, Cao Ying sighed: "It is worthy of being a secluded place for the Magi, and in the troubled times, there is still this quietness." ”

"Lord, that thatched house should be Mr. Wolong's home! Xiahou Yuan smiled: "Let's go over!" ”

"Wait!" Cao Ying ordered: "Order the soldiers to stand by outside the bamboo forest, you two dismount and walk forward with me!" ”

"This..."The Xiahou brothers wanted to object, but seeing Cao Ying's displeasure, they had no choice but to act as ordered.

A group of three people came to the thatched house, and Cao Ying walked to the door and knocked on the firewood. I knocked for a long time, but no one answered the door. Xiahou Dun was in a hurry, and suddenly stepped forward to push open the door, only to hear a squeak, and the door of the concealed room was opened.

"Lord, it seems that something is wrong!" Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice: "My brother and I will go first to take a look!" ”

"Good!" Cao Ying nodded, and the Xiahou brothers pulled out their waist knives and began to search the inner hall.

Entering the inner courtyard, bypassing the corridor, under the leadership of the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ying came to the main hall of the thatched house. I saw a bamboo curtain hanging in front of the hall, and there was only a couch and a small case in the hall, and there was no one.

"What's going on?" Cao Ying and the Xiahou brothers glanced at each other and entered the hall together.

"Lord, here's a letter!" Although Xia Houdun only had one eye, he focused all his eyes on that one eye, so that one eye was very sharp, and he could see the letter on the small case at a glance.

Cao Ying took the letter and opened it, and it turned out to be left to him by Zhuge Liang. While amazed by Zhuge Liang's calculations, he read the contents of the letter. After reading it, Cao Ying sighed in his heart. Missing out on Pang Tong made Cao Ying quite remorseful. When he didn't have a chance to see Zhuge Liang, Cao Ying was a little relieved.

"Lord, Zhuge Liang has left, let's go back!" Xiahou Yuan was a little angry, in his opinion, Cao Ying is the master, and anyone who is unwilling to serve Cao Ying deserves to die! However, Cao Ying didn't speak, and he didn't dare to say more.

"Let's go!" Cao Ying sighed and walked out of the cottage with the Xiahou brothers.

"Someone!" After joining the army, Xiahou Dun suddenly ordered: "Cut down this bamboo forest for me, and burn the thatched house for me!" ”

"Yes!" Xiahou Dun has an order, and he has his own pawn to carry it out.

"Slow!" Cao Ying shook his head and said, "This place is rare, so don't destroy it!" ”

"Lord, this Zhuge Liang toasts and doesn't eat and drink, and doesn't give him some color, isn't it..."

"Forget it! Let's go! Now that Cao Ying has made a decision, Brother Xiahou will not say more.

Back in the camp, the more Cao Ying thought about it, the more angry he became, if it weren't for Liu Biao's constant delay, he wouldn't have missed Pang Tong, and maybe he could see Zhuge Liang. Cao Ying, who was angry, immediately lit up his troops and horses and came to Xiangyang City.

"Tell Liu Jingsheng to come out and see me!" Cao Ying rode his horse under the city, looking at the Jingzhou soldiers in the city with a serious face. At this time, the Jingzhou soldiers were also a little flustered.

"Meet Cao Gong!" A big man came to the city with a teenager in his arms.

"Who are you?" Cao Ying frowned and asked, "Tell Liu Jingsheng to come out!" ”

"Qi Qi Cao Gong, it's not that my lord doesn't want to come, but he is seriously ill and can't travel!" The big man pointed at the young man and smiled: "This is the son of my lord!" ”

"Sick? What a coincidence! Cao Ying sneered: "I don't care if Liu Jingsheng is really sick or not, at this time tomorrow, if he doesn't send hostages, don't blame me for attacking the city!" ”

"This..."The young man said in embarrassment in the city: "Cao Gong, I am Liu Cong, the second son of Liu Jingzhou. My father, who had been defending the city for several months, caught a cold and suffered from a cold, and now he has turned into typhoid fever and needs to be cared for by his children, so how can I send my brother away at this time? Please also ask Cao Gong to forgive a few words! ”

"I will lenient you, who will you lenilate me?" Cao Ying sneered: "Now two of the four counties in Jingnan have fallen, and only the two counties of Jiangling and Xiangyang in Jingbei are still in Liu Biao's control. If you hesitate any longer and let the four counties of Jingnan fall into the hands of Sun Jian and Liu Bei, I can only take the five counties of Jingbei! ”

"Uncle, what should I do?" After listening to Cao Ying's ultimatum, the young man looked at the big man beside him with an anxious face, and this big man was Cai Mao, the governor of the Jingxiang Water Army, and the brother of Mrs. Cai of Liu Biao Xuxian.

"What else can I do!" Cai Mao sneered: "I can only send your brother out!" Otherwise, Cao Ying will attack the city, and we will all have to finish playing! ”

"But my father hasn't woken up yet, let's send my brother out like this, will we..." It's a pity that he was born too late! If he was born ten years early, Liu Biao might be able to fight for him!

"Cong'er, I don't want to send your eldest brother out like this. But with him alone, in exchange for the safety of the entire Xiangyang City, what do you think I should do? "Cai Mao has long wanted to get rid of Liu Qi, and now is a good opportunity. Coupled with the strength of Cao's army, Cai Mao really didn't want to be an enemy of Cao Ying, he was thinking about whether to use Liu Biao's father and son as a gift for the audience!
