Gao Ding was agitated by Yonghong's words, and his face suddenly turned red. argued: "What does this mean, brother Xian? The younger brother has no second thoughts, why is the virtuous brother suspicious? ”

Yonghong patted Gao Ding's shoulder and smiled: "Brother Xian, don't worry, Shicai is just a joke." Now that we are dying, it is time for us to work together. Wang Hua was very cunning, he first let go of Ehuan, sold favors to his virtuous brother, and then came to attack me. If the virtuous brother does not come to the rescue because of human feelings, our army will be defeated. Once my army is defeated, how can the virtuous brother be alone? If the virtuous brother really helps me, he will quickly lead the soldiers and horses to fight Wang Hua with me. ”

Gao Ding listened to what Yonghong said, and he didn't really make up his mind to switch to Dong Wei, so he said: "What Brother Xian said is very true! I then led the troops and my brother to fight Wang Hua. "After that, 30,000 soldiers left the camp with Yonghong, leaving Ehuan to defend in the camp.

Yonghong and Gao Ding led the soldiers and horses to the Yonghong camp, wanting to outflank the front and back, and the enemy army who was fighting was caught off guard. The two of them hurried away without noticing that there was an ambush on both sides of the mountain road.

The three generals Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Zhang Baiqi have been in ambush for a long time on the road between the camps of Yonghong and Gaoding. At this time, seeing that Yonghong and Gao Ding led their troops out and entered the ambush circle, Zhao Yunyin raised his spear and trapped the camp with a strong crossbow, and suddenly beat the Gao Ding soldiers on the mountain road.

Yonghong and Gaoding didn't expect that there would be ambushes here, most of the men and horses were killed and wounded, and countless people were captured.

Zhao Yun sent half of the men and horses to escort the Gaoding soldiers back to the camp, and the rest of the men and horses packed up the Gaoding banner and armor, pretending to be Gaoding soldiers and horses to kill the Yonghong camp.

Huang Zhong and Yang Xiong, who were calling for battle outside the Yonghong camp, saw the "Gaoding" people and horses behind them suddenly attacking, and immediately scattered and fled. The lieutenant generals of the Yonghong battalion cheered and cheered when they saw the arrival of reinforcements, and opened the camp gate to receive the "Gaoding" men and horses into the camp. As a result, as soon as the camp gate opened, Zhao Yun took the lead, leading his men and horses to rush into the Yonghong camp and kill people when they saw them.

Huang Zhong and Yang Xiong saw that Zhao Yun broke the camp, went and returned, and the army rushed into the Yonghong camp and seized the camp, killing the Yonghong soldiers and retreating more than 20 miles before they collected the troops. Countless captives were taken.

Yonghong and Gaoding were defeated, and the captured soldiers were all escorted to the Nanye camp. Xu Shu imprisoned Yonghong's people on one side and Gaoding's people on the other, and then ordered the soldiers who guarded the captives to do so......

A group of captives and soldiers were held in the camp for a long time and no one cared, and the thirst and hunger of the prisoners were bearable, but the fear in their hearts could not be suppressed. Although Nan Ye has always treated captives preferentially, it does not mean that the princes of the world are the same as Nan Ye. The fate of the captives was usually very miserable, and working as a slave or servant was considered a good result, at least one life could be saved. It is also common for brutal generals to directly kill prisoners, and it is not uncommon to kill prisoners and eat meat when there is a shortage of military food.

The soldiers of Yonghong and Gaoding have long heard that the barbarians are brutal, and some caves still have the custom of cannibalism, but now that they have become barbarian captives, how can they not be afraid? They were all frightened, and they were all worried that they would be killed and eat meat.

Just when the soldiers were in a panic, they listened to the barbarians guarding them and said: "We waited for the general to have a good relationship with Taishou Gaoding, and I let him go before and the general E Huan persuaded him to surrender, but I don't know what the result is." Now that these soldiers have been arrested, if there are Gao Ding's subordinates, what should we do? ”

Another brute said, "This is not easy. But the people of Gaoding are not allowed to die, and the people of Yonghong are killed and eat meat. These many people can't all be under Gao Ding, and I'm waiting for enough to eat. With that, he looked at the captives held in the fence and swallowed his saliva.

When all the soldiers heard this, their hearts were terrified. After a while, Xu Shu ordered the sergeant to escort Yonghong's people to the tent and asked, "Who are your subordinates?" ”

After listening to the rumors, how dare the soldiers tell the truth, and they said: "We are Gaoding's subordinates!" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Even Gao Taishou's subordinates can avoid death." Come, give them food and drink, and send them out of the camp. ”

Yonghong descended to pass the test in confusion, and was very happy, all thanked him, and thanked him in his heart. Xu Shu ordered the soldiers to be escorted to Gaoding to inquire.

Gao Ding descended and said: "We are Gao Ding's subordinates!" ”

Xu Shu pretended to be angry and said, "Bold! All the soldiers are said to be Gaoding's subordinates, why are yours also Gaoding's subordinates? Could it be that none of the captured people were Yonghong soldiers? ”

Gao Ding's pawns were all frightened and cried when they saw Xu Shu angry, and scolded Yonghong soldiers in their hearts for not being a thing. The soldiers knelt down and cried: "We are really the sergeants under Gao Ding. The class of soldiers is the Yonghong soldiers. ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Since you are really a subordinate of Gao Ding, you can avoid death." "Say, he also ordered wine and food to be given.

Gao Ding's surrender was just about to thank him, and Xu Shu said again: "Yonghong sent people to surrender today, and he wants to offer Gao Taishou and Zhu Bao's head as credit." The general of my family wanted to marry Gao Taishou, but he couldn't bear to be killed. Since you are a subordinate of Gaoding, I will let you wait and go back, and advise your family Taishou to come and surrender as soon as possible. You must not be obsessed with it again, and if you are caught again, you will not be forgiven. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they thanked him and left, and returned to the camp to see Gao Ding, telling him about the cause and effect of the incident. At this time, Yonghong had already returned to his camp, and Gao Ding heard that the soldiers who returned to the camp said that Yonghong had descended and could not question the authenticity, so he couldn't help but be suspicious and found Ehuan to discuss.

E Huan said: "It's better to secretly send someone to the Yonghong camp to find out." ”

Gao Dingshen thought so, so he secretly sent people to the Yonghong camp to investigate. It is impossible for Xizuo to sneak into Yonghongshuai's tent, so he can only listen among the soldiers. Those sergeants who returned because they lied that Gao Ding's soldiers were alive and talked about it in private, and they all had the heart of obeying Gao Ding and Dong Zheng.

Knowing that the military under Yonghong's command was like this, he came to report to Gao Dingdao: "Many of Yonghong's corporals want to vote for Dong Chuan and Taishou. ”

Although Gao Ding heard that there were many people who were willing to surrender, he was still not sure that Yonghong had surrendered, so he ordered him to disguise himself as a soldier to go to the Nanye camp to listen to the truth. According to Gao Ding's thoughts, if Yonghong really surrendered to Dong Quan, the enemy army would definitely not be embarrassed, and if Xianzuo was killed, it would mean that Yonghong had not surrendered.

Before he entered Nanye's camp, he was captured by the secret outpost outside the camp and escorted into the camp to see Nanye and Xu Shu. Xu Shu observed the words and looks, and saw that although he was dressed as a Yonghong soldier, he looked fearless, and knew that it was a Gaoding soldier pretending. Because the real Yonghong soldiers all know that Dong Chuan and Yonghong are mortal enemies, once they are caught, they will be killed and eat meat, how can they be fearless?

Although Xu Shu saw the flaws in the details, he didn't say anything, but said with a plan: "Your family is too shou to offer the heads of Gao Ding and Zhu Bao, why did you miss the date?" You're not fine, you're halfway, how can you do it carefully? ”

Gao Dingzuo heard the words and thought that he had deceived Nan Ye and Xu Shu from the world, so he said yes again and again, and answered vaguely. Nan Ye heard Xu Shu scolding a few words, so he persuaded him, ordered someone to give him fine food and wine, and repaired a secret book, and instructed him to make a secret book: "You hold this book and hand it over to Yonghong, let him start early, and don't make mistakes." ”
