(Thanks to the Great Alliance!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, ufgw, Xue Yuntao, Purple Shadow Moon Soul, Northern Wind and Snow, Outside ★ the Love, Wind and Laughter in the ♀ Sky, andy-zfh, I really don't know what it's called. The brothers have always supported it, and Fifteen really doesn't know what to say, but thank you. ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After coming to get off the horse, he presented a letter to Zhao Rui: "This is an arrow book that someone shot at the head of the city from the west gate." ”

Simon? Isn't that the direction of Yangwu?

Zhao Rui pressed and opened the letter.

"Brother Zicong is like meeting, brother and Uncle Yuan, have returned to the hussar, can't bear to see brother in danger, dare to persuade each other. Brother Jin has three ways to choose, one is to return to Hebei, and it is difficult to escape harsh criticism; The second descended to Cao Cao, and the rat ran to the south of Henan; Three to the sun, Shuntian to the order. Why don't you come west, brother? You and I and Uncle Yuan take care of each other, wouldn't it be better than entering Cao Ying's camp alone......" signed at the end of the letter: Brother Zhang He worshipped.

Zhao Rui's mood was like boiling water, churning. What touched him the most in Zhang He's letter was the sentence at the end of the letter. You must know that everyone who surrenders has a herd mentality. If everyone votes on this side, subconsciously, they will also choose this side. At the same time, the general also has a kind of helpless mentality, if he surrenders alone, there will be a sense of panic in his heart from time to time. To put it bluntly, it is such a thing as surrender, and only when there is a difficult brother can he be sure-footed.

Zhao Rui had made up his mind, and waved his hand: "Go back to the temple." ”

A servant asked, "What about Cao Jun?" ”

Zhao Rui was about to say that he would send the other party away, but after thinking about it, he said, "Let them wait, just say that I want to think about it." ”

It is not a one-time thing to persuade people to surrender, and it is normal to give people time to consider, so thousands of Cao troops stopped under the city, which was both a demonstration and oppression.

Zhao Rui hurried back to the temple. Wrote a text message and handed it to his confidant. A moment later, Hu descended from the corner tower of the West Gate, swam across the moat with a floating board, found a spare boat, and headed for the north bank of Jishui.

Half an hour later, Hu Cong turned back again, this time, there were three more people behind him.

When Zhao Rui saw the three messengers, he was so shocked that he ran out from behind the case. He bowed long in front of the entrance: "Jun Yi is alone, this, this, I am really admired." ”

One of the three messengers was none other than Zhang He.

Zhang He calmly replied: "Zhang He's life will be handed over to Zicong." ”

Zhao Ruicheng was terrified: "Jun Yi's words are wrong, you and I have been friends for a long time, how can Zhao Rui not know what kind of person Jun Yi is?" No matter what your position is, even if you meet tomorrow on the battlefield, you and I will meet today. Rui also keeps Junyi safe and sound. ”

Now that they have spread out each other, the following words are naturally easy to say.

Zhang He made a promise that as long as Zhao Rui offered the city, he would keep his original position. Temporarily stationed in Fengqiu, he will have his own reward in the future. At the end, he didn't forget to tell him clearly: "This is a personal promise made by Le Zhonglang, the deputy general of the Dragon and Wolf Army, and Zicong can rest assured." ”

Zhao Rui was noncommittal. I don't say anything with my mouth, but I have already agreed in my heart, but it's just not good to accept it so quickly. After thinking about it, he asked, "Jun Yi knows that Cao's army is already in the city. ”

Zhang He said lightly: "I saw it, it's Cao Hong." ”

Zhao Rui asked again: "How many people did Jun Yi bring?" ”

Zhang He understood and stretched out three fingers.

Zhao Rui groaned: "Three thousand, plus the two thousand and five thousand men and horses in my hand, can resist Cao Hong's army." ”

Zhang He chuckled: "Why resist? Zicong thinks that I, Zhang He, went into the city alone, just to lobby the virtuous brother? ”

Zhao Rui was stunned, shook his hand, and said in a lost voice: "Mo Feijun wants to ......"

Zhang He said calmly: "When he first threw himself into the dragon wolf, he captured Cao Ang alive, thinking that he was a gift to the hussar general. Why don't Zicong concoct it and catch it again? ”

When Zhang He and Zhao Rui were discussing secretly, Cao Hong was sitting under the green cover, his face was gloomy, and he squinted at Fengqiu City, his surface was calm, and the anger in his chest was gradually blazing. Before leaving, he had made a military order to his brothers, he would take Fengqiu, no matter whether he surrendered or fought, Fengqiu must be taken.

Cao Cao's plan was to take Fengqiu before the dragon and wolf army, so as to obtain the fulcrum to continue the pursuit of Yuan Shao's rout. If there is no stronghold, once the army catches up with the white horse, it is easy to be cut off by the dragon and wolf army, and end up with the same fate as the Yuan army.

As long as it is not from the dragon wolf army, it is not a head-on conflict, anyway, Ma Han will not be able to take care of this stall for a while. And Yangwu's Lejin, after Fengqiu was seized, would be on full alert, and would never dare to copy Cao's back road. When Ma Han mobilized an army from the Tiger Prison arrived, Cao's army had already grabbed enough to get enough money, and directly abandoned the city to cross the water and returned to Guandu. Can Ma Han still let him Cao someone spit out what he eats? This plan is a time difference, seize the seal as quickly as possible, hold it for at least three days, and then you can abandon the city.

Cao Hong had already made a promise before receiving the order to set off, and he would go down to seal the mound within half a day, and if it exceeded the hour, he would not have to do anything, just withdraw his troops, because the Yangwu Dragon Wolf Army would never stand idly by.

Cao Cao's army arrived on the south bank of Jishui before dawn, and built a large number of buildings and fences to attract the attention of Yangwu. And Cao Hong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to storm the mound. Along the way, I received feedback from the sentry posts arranged along the Jishui River, and no trace of the enemy was found.

Cao's army attacked Fengqiu, there was an advantage, Fengqiu was on the south bank of Jishui, and it was good to go straight to the target from Guandu. If Yangwu's dragon and wolf army wants to attack the city, it needs to cross the river, and if a large army crosses the river, it will definitely be difficult to escape the eyes of Cao Jun's sentinel, which is also the reason why Cao Hong is sure that he arrived earlier than the dragon and wolf army.

Cao Hong's estimate was correct, but he only cared about his own advantages, but he didn't know that the Dragon Wolf Army also had an advantage that he couldn't compare with - they had two newly surrendered generals, and they had a lot of relationship with the defenders of Fengqiu City, so they didn't need to pose as a posture to intimidate the army crossing the river, but went directly into the city to persuade them to surrender. At this point, Cao Hong is not comparable at all, unless he is brave and comes to the meeting alone. It's a pity that he is not Zhang He, let alone Guan Yu.

Just when Cao Hong's anger was getting worse and worse, he finally saw the south gate of Fengqiu ajar, the suspension bridge was lowered, and a group of people walked out of the city gate hole. Soon Cao Jun rode to meet him, talked for a while, patted his horse and returned to report to Cao Hongyu: "The person who came is the master of Fengqiu, and he is ordered by Zhao Rui to negotiate with the captain." ”

Negotiation?! How can Lao Tzu have so much time to toss? Cao Hong almost scolded his mother. It was almost noon, and Yangwu's dragon and wolf army would appear at any time, and it couldn't be delayed any longer, but it couldn't be ignored, this was also the procedure it should be.

Cao Hong suppressed his anger and asked the master of Fengqiu to come forward and listen to the other party's conditions.

Zhao Rui's conditions were not excessive, most of them were what Cao Hong had promised before, and only two more were added, the other party asked to equip his army with military resources, and at the same time asked for Runan Pingyu, which was stationed in Yuzhou. That's Runan County, which is naturally understandable.

In terms of armaments, Cao Hong agreed without thinking about it, but is it peaceful...... Leave him alone, say yes first. If Cao Hong still had some doubts about Zhao Rui's surrender before, the other party's unhurried and picky attitude almost dispelled his suspicions.

In less than half an hour, the two sides negotiated the conditions, and Zhao Rui also agreed to go out of the city to surrender.

Even so, Cao Hong was still cautious, leaving half of his men and horses, and led a thousand soldiers into the city.

According to the ceremony of surrender, Zhao Rui held the seal and the book of registration, led a group of officials, went out of the south gate for a mile, and greeted each other.

Cao Hong rode a white horse, with a collar and a heavy armor, under the protection of more than 30 armor riders, led more than 1,000 foot soldiers, and marched towards the south gate of Fengqiu.

When the two sides approached a hundred paces, suddenly a sharp chirp sounded behind the hills on the south bank of Jishui in the distance. Immediately, a figure appeared on the top of the mountain, shaking the yellow flag with all his might.

The Cao army, who was majestic and high-spirited, was about to enter Fengqiu, and there was a commotion.

Cao Hong's face changed suddenly, and the Dragon Wolf Army finally appeared.

"Quick, speed up into the city!" Cao Hong didn't care about any entrance ceremonies, and kept urging the soldiers to rush into the city.

And Zhao Rui and the servants ran faster, crossed the suspension bridge first, ran to the doorway, and quickly disappeared.

When more than 300 cavalry poured in, Cao Hong also ran to the front of the suspension bridge, and was about to step on the bridge plank, but saw a group of people panting and running by. If you look closely, it is the Yang master book and his entourage who negotiated with him before. The men were all pushed back by the cavalry, and it took a lot of time to catch up.

Cao Hong shouted: "Master Yang, wait a minute......"

It's okay not to shout, but when you shout, Master Yang and his entourage run faster.

Cao Hong was startled, seemed to realize something, and suddenly stopped moving.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the city: "Cao Hong, be alert at this time, it's too late." ”

Cao Hong looked up, but when he saw the gatehouse, as soon as he aimed his bow, an arrow shot head-on at the moment when he raised his head.

Cao Hong reacted very quickly, and he didn't have time to bow his head and fall into the saddle, so he simply fell off the horse. This action is very dangerous, if it is a galloping war horse, Cao Hong's fall, either his head is cracked or his neck is broken, and he is paralyzed if he does not die. Fortunately, the horse was almost stationary at this time, and as a result, although his head was bleeding and his internal organs were concussed, he escaped the misfortune of the face and only shot off his helmet.

"Zhang He-Zhao Rui-"

Cao Hong's hair was scattered, half of his face was stained with blood, and he roared loudly at the sky.

The next moment, his roar was drowned out in the sky full of shouts of killing.

……

At dusk, a rider came from the east and galloped up the Jishui Bridge,

When the knight was still twenty paces away from Cao Cao, he turned over and dismounted, approached quickly, and whispered a few words.

Cao Cao was silent for a while, and then flicked his sleeves: "Disperse, go back to the camp." "Stand up and bow your hand to Le Jin, "Wen Qian, good means, good bearing, I was away back then." ”

Le Jin understood that Cao Cao's magnanimity meant that he dared to let go of the generals and give them heavy responsibilities on the second day of the surrender, even Cao Cao did not dare to do so. Le Jin returned the gift and said sincerely: "Jin is just acting on orders, and the real kindness is my father-in-law." ”

Cao Cao sighed, only said "You won", brushed his sleeves away, and from beginning to end, he did not mention the matter of his eldest son Cao Ang, as if there was no such thing.

Le Jin made a final salute to the back of the old lord, turned around, and never looked back.

The two of them walked with their backs to each other, and the sunset stretched the figures of the two as long as a long bridge.

This farewell, he will meet again in the future, maybe it will be the time for the soldiers to meet. (To be continued......)
