When Cao Ren heard that He Kui was coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the barracks, and saw He Kui leading more than 20 cavalrymen, all wearing civilian clothes, standing outside the gate and waiting.

"He Kui...," Cao Ren exclaimed with a smile on his face.

When He Kui saw Cao Ren, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The last general will meet the general..." Cao Ren helped He Kui up, patted his arm heavily, and exclaimed: "Okay... Well done... I didn't live up to my trust in you in the past..."He Kui said with a look of shame: "The last general was not able to apologize for his crimes with death on the day of defeat, but instead became Lu Bu's prisoner, he is really ashamed of the general, and he is ashamed of the lord..."

Cao Ren waved his hand, "None of you are ashamed... If you had died at that time, how would you have helped me defeat Lu Bu and capture Jingzhou today? … You are not guilty, you have great merit, after this battle is over, I will report to the lord to ask for credit for you, but I can't treat you badly..."He Kui smiled.

Cao Ren grabbed He Kui's palm and pulled He Kui into the camp, and Cao Ren's soldiers and He Kui's cavalry followed.

When he came to the big tent, Cao Ren ordered someone to fetch wine and drank a large cup with He Kui, which was regarded as celebrating He Kui's achievements in advance. Putting down the cup, Cao Ren asked He Kui, "You pretended to come over, there should be something important, right?" ”

He Kui hugged his fists and said: "I'm afraid that the people below can't tell the current situation, so my subordinates came over in person to report to the general..."

Cao Ren smiled and patted He Kui's shoulder.

Li Dian said: "Just now, our army scouts discovered that the Lu Bu army of the two fortresses of Hanyang and Shiyang suddenly withdrew, does this have anything to do with you?" ”

He Kui showed surprise, "I don't know about this. Our army followed Lu Bu and others to arrive at Nanjun two days ago, and then Li Guiqiu and I suddenly attacked, 150,000 troops suddenly attacked, Lu Bu's 100,000 soldiers and horses were defeated, and they withdrew from the city that night, and our army captured Nanjun. Then I handed over Nanjun to Li Gui and Qiu Jiu, and I pretended to go out to find the general to inform me of the current situation. ”

Cao Ren nodded, "It's hard work." Then he asked, "How many soldiers and horses does Lu Bu still have, and where are the people?" How many soldiers and horses are there in Jingzhou? ”

He Kui hugged his fists and said: "Lu Bu originally had 100,000 soldiers and horses, but those soldiers and horses were originally soldiers of our army, and under the attack and persuasion of our army, half of them had already gone anyway that night, and the other half were also rushed to pieces, when Lu Bu escaped from Nanjun, there should only be about 20,000 men and horses around him." According to the scout's report, Lü Bu led the remnants to flee north, and should now be in Maicheng, near Changbanpo, south of Jingshan. Then he urged: "General, without further ado, you should quickly rate the army to the north, pursue Lu Bu, and capture Xiangyang in one go..."

Cao Ren thought so.

Li Dian said: "The army has been attacking again and again, and it is already quite tired, so it is better to go to Nanjun to rest for a day first, and then attack north." ”

Cao Ren nodded.

Immediately, Cao Ren passed down the order, and soon after, the three armies marched towards Nanjun.

But when Cao Ren's army came to the city of Nanjun, he saw the city gate open, and Li Gui and Qiu Jiu led the Chinese army out of the city to greet them.

Li Dian was finally relieved when he saw such a scene. Cao Ren and Li Dian followed He Kui to Li Gui and Qiu Jiu, and Li Gui and Qiu Jiu hurriedly knelt down to meet Cao Ren. Cao Ren immediately dismounted, stepped forward to help the second general, and appeased. Then the army entered the city. Cao Ren and Li Dian walked down the street surrounded by all the soldiers, and found that there were few pedestrians on both sides of the street, and the doors and windows of every house were closed. Cao Ren was high-spirited and in a good mood.

That night, He Kui hosted a banquet in the lobby of the governance office to entertain Cao Ren and Li Dian.

In the middle of the night, Li Dian and the drunken Cao Ren said goodbye to He Kui and the others, and left the mansion under the escort of the guards, and went to a luxurious manor. The manor, located next to the mansion, covers an extremely wide area, among which the pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, and the palaces and houses are stacked on top of each other, far above the mansion in terms of scale and luxury, which was originally the Cai family's mansion here, but now it is used as Cao Ren's temporary camp.

He Kui and the three of them stood at the gate, looking at Cao Ren's distant back. Back in the hall, He Kui poured three glasses of wine, handed two of them to Li Gui and Qiu Jiu, and then picked up another glass himself, and said, "I wish us success..." Then he hurried out of the hall.

The gaze turned to Hanyang and Seokyang.

After the Cao army occupied these two forts, they left 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the forts, while 50,000 sailors were close to Hanyang Xiazhai, ready to respond and protect the pontoon bridges on the river.

A bright moon like a jade hook hung high above the sky, and the bright stars around her seemed to be dotted with diamonds; Only the hazy outlines of the distant mountains can be seen, and the nearby rivers are sparkling, like ribbons spread on the earth; The world was silent, and occasionally there were one or two cries of night owls in the field, which was particularly clear in this night, in the barracks, in the water village, the lights were lit, and the sentries were leaning on the sentry posts and napping.

Several dark shadows suddenly climbed the city wall and killed the sentries who were napping on the city wall with daggers, silently. Immediately, the gates of the two fortresses opened one after another, and countless black shadows poured into the city.

A Cao soldier woke up in the middle of the night, opened his sleepy eyes, and suddenly saw countless figures in the pitch-black tent. He couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously wanted to be born to ask, but suddenly saw a very strong guy in armor and holding a sharp blade running in front of him, covering his mouth and nose, and pressing it down on the Chase bunk... Immediately, I saw his other hand raise the long knife with cold light, and the soldier was shocked, and before he could react, he saw the long knife eat it violently... The soldier felt a chill in his chest, and then he didn't know anything...

"Enemy......" Someone shouted half-exclaimed, but the sound stopped abruptly.

Finally someone spotted the enemy attack, and shouts rang out in both fortresses. The sneak attackers no longer hide their heads and tails, and begin to storm and kill; Cao Jun has already killed countless people at this moment, and in the face of countless enemies who suddenly appeared in front of him, he has no intention of fighting at all, and has fled in all directions...

The sentries of the Cao army in the water village heard the sounds of fighting and screams coming from the Hanyang fortress, and felt bad, and prepared to ring the alarm bell. Sou... Suddenly a sharp arrow flew in the darkness, and the sentry had just picked up the drumstick before it was shot through the neck and plunged into the river.

The other sentry was startled, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the shore, and suddenly, countless black shadows were rushing towards him. The sentry's eyes widened and he tried to scream, when another sharp arrow flew into his forehead, knocking him to the ground... Immediately, the brigade of soldiers and horses crashed through the gate of the water village and rushed in...
