Zhen Rong led a hundred and ten believers, did not raise torches, everyone was silent, even the war horses were wearing cages and wrapped in horses' hooves, for fear of making the slightest noise.

When the group arrived at the West Gate, Di Rong vaguely saw Cao Hong standing there by the light of the swaying torches on the city, and his heart was secretly relieved, as long as he went out of the city gate, he could travel by himself!

At this time, Cao Hong also saw Zhen Rong who came closer, and asked pretendedly: "The city gate is heavy, who dares to approach, and does not retreat quickly?" ”

Di Rong knew that Cao Hong was doing it to show his subordinates, and he also replied pretendedly: "I am Di Rong, on the orders of the king, I will go out of the city to do business, and I hope that Captain Cao will open the city gate!" ”

"Oh......? When did I give the command, and why did I not know it? As soon as Di Rong's words fell, Tao Qian's voice suddenly came from the city wall.

And as Tao Qian's voice fell, countless Xuzhou soldiers suddenly rushed out behind Di Rong, all of whom were armed with weapons, and quickly surrounded Zhen Rong and the group of believers.

This change happened so fast that Rong didn't have time to react at all.

At this time, whether it is on the city wall or around the street, it has already been illuminated by countless torches, and he looked at the city head tremblingly, only to see Tao Qian looking at himself with a cold face, and beside Tao Qian, the civil and military forces of Xuzhou are all there, among which Cao Bao and Cao Hong's brothers are also impressively listed.

At this point, Zhenrong still doesn't understand that it was the Cao brothers who betrayed him, but Zhenrong can't figure out why.

Zhen Rong did not dismount, but first whispered to the believers to prepare, and then replied to Tao Qian: "Don't hide it from the prince, Rong has a large number of family properties hidden outside the city, because he is worried about being discovered by Cao Bing, so he wants to go out of the city to retrieve it, and if he makes a mistake for a while, he hopes that the prince of the mansion will be gracious!" ”

Tao Qian looked at the city and asked coldly: "Since you know that you have made a mistake, why don't you get off Mayer?" ”

In fact, Tao Qian has heard about the matter of Rong Rong and greedy ink, but he has never taken it to heart, just now, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu came to visit, saying that Rong Rong collected money and collected disciples, demagoguery, and the plot was not small, so Tao Qian paid more attention.

Tao Qian has absolute trust in Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, and when he heard the two of them say this, he was shocked and hurriedly asked for countermeasures.

Not wanting to wait for the two to answer, Cao Bao led Cao Hong to come and truthfully reported that Zhen Rong was preparing to leave the city overnight.

Cao Bao was originally very optimistic about Zhen Rong, otherwise he would not have married his daughter to Zhen Rong, but Cao Bao was not unwise, knowing that Zhen Rong was preparing to escape when he left the city, so he hated it in his heart.

Cao Bao wanted to develop the Cao family into the first family in Xuzhou, and he married Zhenrong with the help of his strength and financial resources.

But now that Zhen Rong wants to run, he still wants Cao Hong to be charged with opening the city gate privately, and Chen Deng knows that he is married to Zhen Rong, if he says to Tao Qian that he is an accomplice, won't it make the entire Xuzhou Cao family fall into a place of no return?

Therefore, Cao Bao was ruthless and directly led Cao Hong to ask to see Tao Qian, to retreat as advance, and to kill his relatives with righteousness.

And when Cao Bao saw that Chen Deng and Mi Zhu were there, he secretly said in his heart that his choice was correct.

It is precisely because of this that Tao Qian will lead the civil and military forces to appear in the city tower, and deploy heavy troops around in advance.

Zhen Rong heard the coldness in Tao Qian's tone, knowing that Tao Qian would not let go of himself easily, his eyes were fixed, he secretly took down the spear hanging on the horse's back, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The city gate is close at hand, follow me to grab the city gate, and kill the general!" After saying that, he took the lead and rushed to the city gate.

Seeing this, Tao Qian snorted coldly and said, "Don't measure yourself! Then he also shouted loudly: "Zhenrong colluded with Cao thief, intending to rebel, don't count killing!" ”

Although the Xuzhou soldiers were repeatedly defeated by Cao Cao, they hated Cao Cao very much in their hearts, and when they heard that Zhen Rong and Cao Cao colluded, they were all furious, screaming and rushing up, and for a time there were shouts of killing at the city gate.

Although Zhen Rong has few soldiers, he can be taken by his side at this time, whether it is loyalty or strength, he is the best, so for a while, the two sides are inseparable, and the fierceness is abnormal.

In the war of the Cold Weapon Era, the side with more people will eventually have the advantage, so as time goes by, Zhenrong's subordinates begin to slowly become unable to resist, and there are more and more casualties.

The power of faith is very terrifying, although the dead and wounded have been more than half, but these believers are not afraid, while shouting slogans, while killing the city gate, they only have one belief, with their own lives, open the city gate, in exchange for the opportunity to escape.

These believers have no fear of death and are firm in their beliefs, but not being afraid of death does not mean that they will not die.

Finally, when the last believer also fell, Zhenrong dropped his spear with a "bang", quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and shouted surrender.

Tao Qian looked at the corpses below, and sighed: "They are all good sons of Xuzhou, it's a pity!" After saying that, he ordered to clean up the battlefield and escort Zhenrong back to the mansion, and then led everyone to the city.

In the house, Tao Qian looked at Zhen Rong, who was tied up by five flowers and kneeling on the ground, and said expressionlessly: "I treat you well, why is this so?" ”

Di Rong cried bitterly when he heard the question: "I was greedy for a while, and I lost my heart, so I broke into a big disaster, and I hope that the prince of the mansion will spare my life in the past!" ”

Tao Qian looked at the embarrassed Zhenrong below, and suddenly felt unbearable in his heart, but he thought of the madness of his disciples just now, and his heart tightened.

This person's demagogic technique is too powerful, only more than 100 people have such strength, if there are 1,000 people, 10,000 people, wouldn't it be another horn?

As soon as he thought of this, Tao Qian's eyes suddenly appeared murderous, and he said in a cold tone: "The person you have committed is a great crime of rebellion, if you don't pursue it, how can you convince the public, won't you make others follow suit?" ”

Chen Deng looked at Zhenrong, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said loudly: "What the prince said is very true, but you have served in Xuzhou for many years, and it can be regarded as meritorious, if you can truthfully hand over the money that was greedy for ink before, I can plead with the prince for you!" ”

It is true that there is a large amount of gold and silver hidden outside the city, which Chen Deng knows.

After listening to Chen Deng's words, Zhenrong's face was first happy, and then his face was solemn, obviously thinking about the pros and cons in his heart.

Seeing this, Chen Deng continued to pressurize: "Now that Cao Thief is about to retreat, Xuzhou will return to Qingping, even if you don't confess, as long as the prince sends troops to search in the direction of Pengcheng along the road, the gold and silver you have hidden can also be found, but time!" ”

Hearing Chen Deng's words, Zhen Rong's eyes blinked rapidly, and it was obvious that he was also struggling in pain.

Finally, Zhen Rong suddenly raised his head, looked at Tao Qian and said: "All my money is hidden in the cave at the southern foot of Funiu Mountain a hundred miles away, and the prince can send someone to retrieve it, and I hope the prince will forgive!" ”

Chen Deng smiled slightly when he heard this, nodded at Tao Qian, and then said no more.

Tao Qian also smiled, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, Zhenrong colluded with Cao thief, intending to rebel, push it out, and beg for revenge!" ”

Hearing this, Zhen Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at Tao Qian with an incredulous expression.
