"The army? What army? The little ones don't know what to do! They are a caravan of a dozen people, not an army! The pawn was a little overwhelmed by Cao Hong's fright.

"What? Weren't you attacked by Liu Bei's army? Cao Hong didn't ask about the details of his subordinates' killings just now. It's just that he saw the special iron arrows of Zhuge Lian's crossbow and subjectively arbitrarily thought that it was Liu Bei's army. I was frightened by my own inferences.

"No! It was a caravan, and they had a carriage and a dozen guards on tall horses. It looks like a person from Jingzhou. However, the crossbows in their hands are very powerful, and they can actually fire more than a dozen iron arrows in a row, and the arrows shoot like a rain of arrows, which is terrible! ”

"Caravans? A crossbow with a burst of fire? The pawn's answer made him come back to his senses. The heart says, I say! If Liu Bei's army arrives in the suburbs of Hefei, how can we not get any news at all! It seems that this small caravan of more than a dozen people should be pretended to be sent by Liu Bei. So at this time, when Sun Liu's rebels were confronting the main force of the prime minister in Chibi, what did Liu Bei send such a small caravan of more than a dozen people to Hefei for? Could it be that you want to attack Hefei again? Thinking of this, Cao Hong was not surprised! Since the withdrawal of the Jiangdong army, in order to stabilize the unstable situation in the Xiangfan area, Cao Cao successively transferred the two main forces of Zhang Liao and Lejin back to the Xiangfan area to pacify the local resistance.

At this time, Hefei City was even weaker than the last time the Jiangdong army came to the city, and Liu Fu was anxious about it. The last siege of the Jiangdong Army caused great damage to Hefei and its surrounding areas. What is even more terrifying is that because of the calm war in Hefei for many years, many displaced people who had already settled down in the Lianghuai area fled south because they were afraid of the disaster of the war. Huainan was in chaos for a while, and tens of thousands of people in the suburbs of Hefei alone lost in more than ten days. As a result, resources for young adults are already scarce. As a result, it was difficult to replenish the soldiers of the city defense army, which had been lost due to the resistance to the Jiangdong army, with new soldiers. Hefei's city defense force is a little overstretched for a while! Although Liu Fu repeatedly took people to nearby counties to appease the local people, saying that the last time was just an accident, there will definitely be no more siege last time in the future. But who believes it, you think everyone is stupid!

If Liu Bei's army took advantage of the fact that the prime minister's main force was in Wulin to confront Zhou Yu's army at this time, and suddenly led the army directly into the rear of the two Huai Cao armies, then the consequences would be really unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Cao Hong stood up suddenly. "Can you see which direction the caravan is heading?"

He ...... They are coming to Hefei City! The pawn stammered in reply, with an impression.

When Cao Hong heard this, his eyebrows tightened, and he said in his heart, it seems that he did not expect it badly. The target of this group of guys is Hefei.

"General, General Zhang of the Black Panther Battalion Secret Letter!" Cao Hong was thinking about how to deal with this matter, and the guards outside the door sent an urgent secret letter from Zhang Yan, the leader of the Jiangnan leader of the Black Panther Battalion.

Cao Hong took out the information from the wax pill and took a closer look. nodded, and said with a wry smile: "It's still their eyeliner that has the ability!" After saying that, he ordered the guards to fetch the candlesticks and burn the information.

He turned to the pawn who was still kneeling at the foot of the stairs and said, "Don't mention today's matter to anyone after you go out!" If I know that you have told someone about today's things, I will make you regret that you should not have given birth! Do you understand? ”

Where do the pawns at the bottom of the stairs dare to say no? Hurriedly kowtowed, "Don't dare!" ”

"Get out!" Cao Hong waved his hand.

"Come back!" The pawn was just about to leave, Cao Hong yelled, and the poor guy sat on the ground, because of pain and fear, tears came down in a hurry, and he quickly knelt down and shook his head like pounding garlic, "The general spares his life!" The general spares his life! The small ones are old and the young, and they all point to the villain's life! The general spares his life! The general spares his life! "The pawn thinks that Cao Hong repents and wants to kill people!

". What kind of calf is it? Cao Hong looked at this guy's ridiculous appearance and couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded disdainfully: "Bad seed!" Then he pointed to the corpse that was shot into a hedgehog at the foot of the stairs and said, "Lao Tzu is asking you to carry down the corpse of your general!" Who said it would kill you? ”

"Huh?" Only then did the pawn come back to his senses, remembering that he was in a hurry to go down just now, and forgot the corpse of his own general in the hall. So he hurriedly beckoned his brothers, who had come with him, and carried the body of his general out of the city.

After the pawn left, Cao Hong hurriedly changed into a military uniform and ordered someone to fetch his own sword and weapon.

"General, where are we going?" The guard in the car asked.

"Dongcheng Barracks!"

Three days later, the south gate of Hefei.

In ancient times, wherever a city was built. There are strict time limits for the opening and closing of the gates. During the closure of the city gates, neither officials nor civilians were allowed to enter or leave the city gates without permission, except by a special order issued by the city governor. On the one hand, this is to protect the safety of the city and prevent the enemy army from taking advantage of the night to deceive the city gates. On the other hand, the ancients adhered to this lifestyle of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset". At that time, people were conscious that only those who followed the path of heaven and earth were good people. Those who are nocturnal are "traitors and thieves". Then naturally, these "traitors and thieves" will not be allowed to enter and exit the city gate at will to cause destruction!

"Parking! Stop the car! Say about you! Damn, I don't know if you won't open the city gate until three o'clock? Why go out of the city so early to be reincarnated? The soldiers guarding the gate looked at the thick night, and a convoy slowly drove towards the city gate, and cursed.

"Da Da Da!" The crisp sound of horses' hooves stepping on bluestone slabs. A man galloped on a tall horse and came to a sudden stop before the city gates. A big man jumped off his horse, walked in three or two steps to the soldier he had just scolded, and rounded it with a big mouth.

"Slap~" A slap made the city defenders bloody from their noses and mouths, turned around in place a few times, and fell to the ground.

As soon as the guards wanted to get angry, they heard the big man scolding angrily: "Ge Laozi! Even the fucking old man dares to scold? You're fucking tired, aren't you? ”

Hearing this, the guards were taken aback, why was this voice so familiar? Quickly get up from the ground and stand still, and take a look, my mother! That big man was actually their top boss - Hefei General Lei Xu. Look up and look back, I'm damned, what's the convoy behind me! It's clearly General Lei's guards!

"Plop" fell to his knees with a bang, his head was like pounding garlic, and he kept slapping himself, "Damn it!" Little bastard! The little one really doesn't know that it's the general, your old man is here! If you know the way, you wouldn't dare to offend the general, your old man! The general spares his life! The general spares his life! ”

"Bastard! Lao Tzu still has important things to do today, otherwise I have to make you look good! Don't you open the door for Lao Tzu! Lei Xu rebuked angrily.

When the guards heard this, they were pardoned, and they quickly got up and were about to open the door for Lei Xu.

Lei Xu was relieved to see the city gate slowly open. But when the city gate really opened, Lei Xu couldn't relax. Because there were soldiers standing outside the city gates. The first general rode a tall horse, holding an eight-foot spear, and looked at Lei Xu with a sneer.

Lei Xu was so shocked that both of his eyes were round. No way? What's going on? Why does this guy stand outside the city gate in the middle of the night, isn't it cold?

Who is this person? It was none other than Cao Hong, the general of the Cao Army stationed in Hefei, Cao Zilian is also.
