The Qin army ambushed the valley of Cao Hong's garrison, and Cao Hong fled into the mountains under the escort of more than a dozen soldiers.

Escorting Cao Hong into the mountain, the officers who led the more than ten guards did not dare to delay for a moment, and led the group of people to turn straight to the other side of the hill.

was almost held hostage by this group of soldiers and fled, and Cao Hong, who was on horseback, felt a burst of resentment in his heart.

Under the cover of the night and the mountains and forests, until they reached the other side of the mountain, the officer raised his arm and made the crowd slow down.

Everyone slowed down, and it was only then that the officer turned around, clenched his fists and bowed down in fear and said to Cao Hong: "Fang is too dangerous, the villain has trespassed and collided with the general, please punish the general!" ”

Full of resentment, Cao Hong was thinking about how to punish this officer all the way.

At this time, the officer suddenly turned his head and bowed to him with his fists in order to apologize, but Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should kill the officer on the spot as he had thought earlier.

When the army was ambushed, no one paid attention to Cao Hong's orders, and the soldiers of the Cao army just ran around like a group of wild boars without a pig, even if Cao Hong stayed there, it would have no effect on the whole situation.

If it weren't for the officer's decision, Cao Hong would probably have been captured by the Qin army at this time.

Riding on horseback, looking down at the officer standing in front of him with his fists folded, Cao Hong's brows were tightly locked.

Spare this officer, he has been held hostage and run for so many miles, and the evil spirit in his heart will not be able to get out for a while.

can not spare this officer, Cao Hong is also a little unbearable, after all, his life was saved by this officer.

Looking down at the officer, after a long time, Cao Hong sighed lightly, and said with a sad face: "This general doesn't want to kill you, but if you violate the military order, if you don't kill ......."

Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the officer's face was already as dead as ashes.

Just now he ordered the soldiers to hold Cao Hong hostage and leave, he didn't think about the consequences, but at that time he still had a thought, that is, he saved Cao Hong's life, and Cao Hong should spare him.

After listening to Cao Hong's words, the officer knew that he had absolutely not left alive today, so he just clenched his fists and bowed, but he did not speak.

"General, you can't kill it!" The officer did not say a word, and the dozen or so soldiers on the side were already full of astonishment, and one of them even shouted out in a lost voice.

Turning his head to look at the more than ten soldiers, Cao Hong's face was iron-blue.

He ignored the pleas of the soldiers, turned his face to the side and did not look at the officer, but waved his hand and said, "You cut yourself, your family, this general will definitely treat it as if it were his own family!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Cao Hong mentioned that he would treat the officer's family well, and the officer raised his head, thanked him loudly, and then drew his long sword, put the tip of the sword on his heart, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and pressed it down sharply.

As the officer pressed the hilt, the sharp sword pierced through his leather armor, straight through his chest and behind his back.

Holding the hilt of his sword with both hands, the officer's body fell straight down.

When he was dying, his eyes were still round and open, obviously there was something unfinished in his heart.

Riding on horseback, looking down at the corpse of the officer who fell to the ground, Cao Hong's brows furrowed tightly, and after a while, he turned over and jumped off the horse, walked to the officer's corpse and squatted down.

"Rest assured, General Ben will treat your family well!" Reaching out and wiping it on the officer's eyes, Cao Hong said to the corpse as if he were appeasing a living person.

Cao Hong's hand smeared the officer's eyes, because the officer had just died, the muscles had not stiffened, and the eyelids were smoothly smeared by Cao Hong.

"Bury him!" Wiping his eyes for the officer, Cao Hong stood up and gave an order to the more than a dozen Cao soldiers who followed behind.

Soon after Cao Hong escaped from the ambush, the 10,000 Qin troops who had already cleared the battlefield, led by Li Ji, advanced along the mountain road towards Xiaopeicheng.

On the city wall of Xiaopei, Li Dian and Le Jin did not leave the city wall.

Earlier, it had been discussed with Cao Hong, once the Qin army came outside the city, Cao Hong would lead the army to attack the Qin army from behind that night, and the defenders in the city must also be killed immediately, and Cao Hong's troops who attacked the Qin army were annihilated in one fell swoop.

Guo Jia's abacus is not bad, but he has calculated a lot, but he has miscalculated a person.

Wei Yan joined the Qin army and had never led an army to fight a battle, and what made Guo Jia impossible to imagine was that Liu Wei would make an exception to appoint a young general who was only fifteen years old.

If Guo Jia knew about the character of Wei Yan, he would definitely have other considerations when using troops.

Often in war, a small negligence will determine the success or failure of the entire battle, and Guo Jia this time is a big boat in the gutter.

What Guo Jia didn't expect, Li Dian and Le Jin would never have thought of.

The Qin army was stationed outside the city, and it was impossible for them to know any information outside the city, the only thing they knew was that the Qin army had set up camp outside the city.

The Qin army outside the city was still in a tumultuous place earlier, but at this time, it was surprisingly quiet.

In the Qin army's barracks, the torches have been extinguished in pieces, replaced by braziers that are lit every ten or so steps in the barracks.

In the barracks, the brazier illuminated the vicinity of the barracks, but standing on the city wall and looking out from afar, it was not clear to see anything except the sporadic firelight.

Holding on to the battlements and looking at the Qin army camp outside the city, Li Dian said to Le Jin on the side with some suspicion: "Earlier, we discussed with General Cao Hong, and when the Qin army was stationed, he led the army to ambush the Qin army, why did it take so long and not see the army coming?" ”

also looked out of the city, but Le Jin was not as anxious as Li Dian.

He didn't speak, first looked at the Qin army camp outside the city, and only after Li Dian finished his words did he look up at the sky.

The night was already deep, and the stars in the sky were getting brighter than when it was just dark.

Although Le Jin didn't speak, his actions were very illustrative.

Turning his head to look at Le Jin, seeing his movements, Li Dian didn't say anything more.

Although it was already very deep, it was not dark enough for an ambush attack, and Cao Ren might still be waiting for the best fighter.

The two of them thought in their hearts that Cao Ren must be waiting for the best fighter, and they didn't say anything to each other, but there was a tense atmosphere in the Qin army camp at this time.

The five generals of the Qin army knelt in two columns and knelt in the tent, while Wei Yan sat upright.

Fifteen-year-old Wei Yan, to put it bluntly, has not even grown a beard yet, and the whole person gives people a feeling of immaturity.

However, although he was immature, the fortitude on his face was not possessed by ordinary teenagers of his age.

Looking around at the five partial generals sitting in the tent, Wei Yan said to everyone: "All the generals also know that this general is the same as you, and he is also a partial general. In the past, we led an army of only a thousand people, but now Your Highness trusts us and puts all 20,000 troops under our leadership. Your Highness's kindness, even if we die, it will be difficult to repay each other! ”

As soon as Wei Yan opened his mouth, he said a cliché, but the five Qin army generals in the tent all kept their eyes on his face, and none of them were bored by what he said.

Liu Wei governed Daqin, and both the people and the army carried out a thorough brainwashing.

Although he is not specially assigned to brainwash the soldiers in the army, the generals in the army are often brainwashed by low-level partial generals or officers.

Descending layer by layer, today's Qin Jun has an almost fanatical admiration and trust for Liu Wei.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said a cliché, and it was Wei Yan who mastered this characteristic of the Qin army.

Not long after he joined the Qin army, he already saw that this army had reached the state of blind obedience to Liu Wei.

Anyone who said good things about Liu Wei would immediately have a good impression of him, and on the contrary, it might even lead to death!

After saying a few words, Wei Yan looked at the partial generals in the tent, and then said to them: "General Li has already led the army to attack the Cao army ambush, and when they return, we will have a fake battle to show the Cao army in the city!" ”

Wei Yan had suddenly ordered the army to be stationed ten miles away, and the generals had been suspicious of him.

But when the generals knew that Cao Jun had indeed set up an ambush outside Xiaopei City, they all had some trust in the young Wei Yan.

After Wei Yan finished speaking, a partial general raised his fists and arched towards him and said: "General Wei, I followed the general to Xuzhou, in order to see the whole world, even if the Qin army only has a partial general to command the battle, it is also an invincible heroic division. The general has a plan, just give orders, and I will fight to the death! ”

Looking at the partial general, Wei Yan nodded with a heavy face, and said to the five people in the tent: "Before I set out on the expedition, His Royal Highness told General Ben that he came to Xuzhou only to save Liu Bei. As for Liu Bei's army...... I can't wait so much! Earlier, General Ben intended to besiege Xiao Pei, leading Cao's army to come to help, and then besiege the city to help. Now that His Highness has an order, we will take Xiao Pei down in one fell swoop! ”

"Obey the general's orders!" Wei Yanyan made his intentions clear, and the five generals all stood up, bowed with their fists, and responded in unison.

"The two of you lead the headquarters, lay an ambush on the flank of the barracks, wait until the Cao army in the city comes to kill, and block the Cao army's retreat from behind!" The five partial generals all stood up and responded, and Wei Yancai said to two of them: "Be sure to exterminate all the Cao troops who left the city, as long as this general is dead, don't take prisoners!" ”

"No!" The two generals who got the order answered in unison.

After the two generals responded, Wei Yan said to the other servants: "You and others lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and after the Cao army kills, immediately cover up and kill Xiaopei City, and take the opportunity to attack Xiaopei!" After entering the city, don't delay for a moment, and immediately replace the Cao army flag on the city with the battle flag of our army! ”

"Order!" The other three partial generals also took over the general order with their fists in unison.
