Chapter 138: Prison in the Mountains

"General, according to the report from the insider, the two generals Zhang Cai are locked up there!" Zhang Yan pointed to a hill not far away. It is a very common hilly landform in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cao Zhen looked into the distance, and saw that although the mountain was not dangerous, it was also lush and extremely secret. "I really don't understand, why didn't Liu Bei Weilu lock up the two of them in Xiakou City, but chose to detain them in the mountains and forests that are thirty or forty miles away from Xiakou City?"

"General Hui, according to the insider, Liu Bei seems to have some doubts about the inside line we planted next to him because of the leak of the last Huihui cannon. So this time, after Uncle Zhuge and his nephew succeeded, he ordered the two not to enter the city, and directly hid in this hill with his subordinates. It is said that it used to be the place where Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu held felons, and it was extremely secretive, and it was difficult for outsiders to find out! Zhang Yan replied.

"In this way, we have to thank Liu Bei for being careful! If he locks people up in Xiakou City, it's really hard for us to do it! Hahaha! Cao Zhen laughed with a hint of mockery.

"General, when do you think we're going to act?" Zhang Yan asked.

"The prime minister's side is anxious, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and the ministry will be ordered to act tonight!"

"No!"

In the city of Xiakou, Liu Bei left the general's mansion.

"Zhan'er, how are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun?" Liu Bei asked with a smile on his face. When Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun regarded Liu Bei as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they wanted to get rid of him quickly. At the time of the Tanxi Prancing Horse, if it weren't for the timely reporting of the Iraqi nationality, it is estimated that Liu Bei would have been corpsed in Xiangyang. Later, these two guys tried their best to encourage Liu Cong to surrender to Cao, and Liu Bei's dream of sweeping Jingxiang was completely shattered. Tell me, how can Liu Bei not hate these two people?

And Liu Bei is a gentle gentleman on the surface, but in fact, he is extremely vindictive in his heart. At the beginning, Liu Bei went to Yizhou at the invitation of Liu Zhang, and the two took their subordinates to meet somewhere in the east of Yizhou. Liu Zhang's subordinates were very angry, so they ridiculed Liu Bei's face like an ass. In fact, this is just a joke at the wine table. But Liu Bei was very angry. Later, after Liu Bei defeated Yizhou, he would find an excuse to kill this person. It can be seen that even a generation of heroes is actually just an ordinary person. If you're angry, you'll get mad.

"Back to Uncle Liu, they are fine! I can eat and sleep, and my mood is very stable! Zhuge Zhanzhi said that Liu Bei hated these two guys very much, although Cai Mao was worthy of his uncle's name, but in fact, the two families usually didn't move around much, so naturally they had no feelings for this cheap uncle. It's not easy for his mother, after all, this guy is Huang Wanzhen's uncle, and he still has to try to preserve what he can.

"Yes, that's good! Cai Mao is a fragrant bait, if you don't have this fragrant bait, it will be difficult to catch big fish! Liu Bei said with a smile. At this time, he was in a really good mood.

"My lord, Liang estimates that Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses are already in place. I think we can get the word out that the hill outside the city is just a trap now. Father Zhuge shook the feather fan lightly, still looking light and breezy.

"Well, what the military advisor said is exactly what I want. Someone's coming! Liu Bei, according to Father Zhuge 's arrangement, ordered his henchmen to reveal the news.

After the people left, Young Master Zhuge stood up with a smile and said, "Uncle Liu, aren't you going to watch this good show?" ”

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand when he heard this, and replied, "This is your young man's business!" The old man won't join in the fun! Then he turned his face and asked Zhuge Liang: "Is the military advisor interested?" ”

Father Zhuge also replied with a smile when he heard this: "Liang is lazy and doesn't like to run away!" ”

"Hahaha, the military advisor coincides with me! Why don't we play a game and wait for the children to triumph here? ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Young Master Zhuge rolled his eyes, and cursed secretly in his heart: "Pretend to be a duo!" ”

Outside the city of Xiakou, hidden in the mountains.

Cao Zhen mobilized forty or fifty dead soldiers from the Black Panther Battalion. Cao Cao attaches great importance to this action, and Cao Zhen naturally can't be ambiguous at all. Zhang Yan was ordered to lead 3,000 cavalry to meet on the official road leading to Wulin. Because Xiakou is still Liu Bei's territory after all, if he rashly dispatches cavalry, it will definitely arouse Liu Bei's vigilance. Therefore, Cao Zhen did not directly use the cavalry troops of the Cao army, but chose to use the dead soldiers of the Black Panther Battalion. After the dead man succeeded, the cavalry was responsible for receiving and intercepting the pursuing troops that Liu Bei might send. Everything was well arranged.

This kind of action would have not required Cao Zhen to come out in person. However, due to the importance of this operation, Cao Zhen really did not dare to fake his hands on others.

"Uncle, there is the thief's lair ahead! The two generals Zhang Cai were imprisoned there! Cao Yun pointed to the dense forest in front of him and said.

After Cao Zhen accepted the Black Panther Battalion, he carried out a relatively large reform of the Black Panther Battalion. In addition to the establishment of the inspection department for the supervision of the states, the most important thing is that the local organizations of the Black Panther Battalion have drawn good hands to form the Flying Eagle Army, which is directly subordinate to the commander. And Cao Yun is the commander of the Flying Eagle Army, and he is also Cao Zhen's nephew.

"Yes! What about our people? Cao Zhen asked.

"Goo~" This is the signal of the Panther Battalion joint.

It was too late, and not long after Cao Yun sent out the signal, several figures rushed out of the dense forest. A beautiful volley, three black-clothed men knelt neatly in front of Cao Zhenma, "See the leader!" ”

"Well, how's it going?" Cao Zhen asked.

"Commander Qiqi, everything is normal! They didn't notice us! The man in black, kneeling in the middle, replied.

"Good! Dismount the whole army! Lead the way! ”

Under the leadership of Cao Zhen, dozens of dead soldiers from the Black Panther Battalion gradually approached this thief grass of Young Master Zhuge in several ways. Except for a little faint light, everything around was quiet.

When the secret prison where Zhang Cai and the others were imprisoned really appeared in front of Cao Zhen's eyes, it really surprised our General Cao. I thought it was just a grim underground prison. But what appeared in front of me was a palatial manor. Cao Zhen looked at the gate more than a foot high in a daze, and stammered a little: "This ...... Is this Liu Bei's underground prison? That's! ”

However, Cao Zhen quickly regained his composure, after all, he was also the one who followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north, although he was a little surprised. "Up~" Cao Zhen crossed the high wall with the help of a rope, a beautiful volley, and landed steadily. Seeing that there was no one around, I could hear the voice of the patrol in the distance, and I thought that this seemed to be a dead end. He quickly opened the back door, and the departments came in one by one.

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Looking at the manor that covers a large area, Cao Yun was a little difficult.

"Split up!"

"Haha, don't be so troublesome!" Cao really wanted to arrange the work, and suddenly there was a fire all around, and countless guards were used from all directions.
