Zong Fang said: "Father's will, you will return all the captured people, and we will release half of the captives; When you return General Sun Li, we will release half of the prisoners. As for the future, we'll see later. ”

Deng Fei couldn't help but be anxious when he heard this, and said angrily: "You are so good at settling accounts, why don't you do business?" We captured no less than 300 people last night, that is, the leaders of the good war, and there are five, you can only take four of me, and return this half and that half, I don't know, but you won the battle? ”

Zong Fang was calm, smiled slightly, and only looked at Cao Cao silently.

How could Cao Cao be willing to fold Deng Fei's face, and said lightly: "My brother's words are my words." In three or five days at most, thousands of troops and horses can be brought in, and then your city will be broken, and there will be no chickens and dogs left. ”

Zong Fang's face did not change, and he said with a forced smile: "My father said that although the martial arts official is ambitious, he is a heroic figure with a splendid chest, and he will never kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

Cao Cao looked at him coldly with a pair of eyes, not revealing half of the truth: "If you are swayed by the words of the world, you are not worthy of being called a hero." Zong Gongzi doesn't have to talk to Wu, since he is already united, there is no innocent in the city. ”

Zong Fang finally lost a smile on his face, and hugged his fists and said: "In this case, this matter is not something that can be asserted below, and I will go back and tell my father." ”

Cao Cao suddenly smiled and said: "Passing back and forth, my pawns can also do it, why bother to overdo it, and the son of the labor sect is running back and forth?" ”

Qin Ming and Deng Fei understood, Pegasus snatched it out, and took Zong Fang directly, Zong Fang's face changed greatly, and he was about to escape, when he suddenly heard a coquettish voice: "Don't hurt my father!" ”

A white horse ran out of the path next to him, and immediately a knight raised his hand with two arrows, Qin Ming and Deng Fei only felt that the helmets were shocked, and the two helmets fell into their arms, and the two hurriedly strangled the war horse, and then they saw that the knight was still a girl.

These two generals can't help but be surprised: shooting off the helmet is already an amazing means, the helmet does not fall with the arrow, but falls forward, it can be seen that its control over the power of the arrow has entered the realm, if not seen with their own eyes, who would have thought that a mere teenage woman would have such a miraculous skill?

When Zong Fang saw his daughter, he was furious: "Zu Weng told you to be grounded in your house, how dare you sneak out?" ”

Zong Yun'er puffed up her face and said back: "If I don't come out, won't they want to bully you." ”

Cao Cao immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you girl, for showing mercy to the arrow, and not hurting my two brothers." "I was secretly glad in my heart, if I broke Qin Ming and Deng Fei, I really could only die.

"Shut up!" Zong Yun'er changed color in an instant, glaring at Cao Cao, her big eyes were full of anger: "I still think you are good friends, but I turned out to be really bad people, you want to attack our city, you want to kill us, I heard it with my own ears, sure enough, it was my Zong Yun'er who misjudged you!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the quiver, then pulled out the bow and aimed at Cao Cao: "Don't retreat!" Ben girl will kill you now! ”

Cao Cao was slightly stunned - there was nothing on the bowstring.

"This woman is scaring me?" As soon as this thought was born, the strong uneasiness in his heart changed Cao Cao's mind, and he suddenly remembered that when they first met, Zong Yun'er boasted: "I want to really show the stunt of the shadowless arrow, but I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to escape." ”

Is there really a shadowless arrow in the world?

Cao Cao couldn't understand her reality for a while, but he straightened his chest and said solemnly: "If something happens to me, my brothers will definitely set foot in Dengzhou!" ”

Zong Fang hurriedly said: "Yun'er, don't do it." ”

Cao Cao continued: "In this way, for the sake of Miss Zong, as long as Ling Zu Lingzun is willing to return my four brothers, Wu will retreat, and all the prisoners will be returned to you, as long as Zong Tong's sentence is still one day, Wu and his brothers will not perform an inch of land in Dengzhou, what does Zong Gongzi think?" ”

Zong Fang thought for a while and said, "General Sun Li, you should also pay me back." ”

Cao Cao said: "Sun Lining is Luan Tingyu's junior brother, and he didn't want to hurt him. I promise you, when you get back, let him go. ”

Zong Fang nodded and said, "In that case, let me return to my father!" ”

Then he shouted to his daughter, "Put away your bow and arrows, and go back to the city with your father!" ”

Zong Yun'er slowly put away the bow and arrows, and made a gesture of putting the arrows back into the quiver, Cao Cao opened his eyes and looked closely, but he still didn't see what she had in her hand, and he became more and more suspicious.

The father and daughter of the Zong family flew away, and Cao Cao did not stop, and drove his troops to the city of Dengzhou.

The gate of Dengzhou was closed, and there were many people on the head of the city, holding all kinds of instruments, and when they saw it, they all exclaimed: "The thieves are coming, the thieves are coming." ”

Cao Cao lined up outside the range of his bow and arrows, and ordered all the captured officers and soldiers to kneel down in the front row, with the spears behind against the vests.

Seeing this situation, many of the soldiers and civilians above the city recognized these captives, and some of them were close relatives, they immediately became chaotic, crying and scolding, and the military judge could not even suppress the shouting and scolding.

After waiting for about half an hour, the city gate suddenly opened, and dozens of public servants pushed four prisoner carts out, which were filled with Luan Tingyu, Shi Xiu, Mu Hong, and Zhou Tong.

When Shi Xiu saw Cao Cao, he shouted: "Brother, you don't have to think about us, you will fight when you fight!" ”

Zong Yun'er, who was riding on the side, shouted: "Shut up, talk nonsense, this girl killed you!" ”

Shi Xiu stretched his neck and said, "You kill you, you kill me, just to save my brother from embarrassment." ”

Mu Hong and the others all shouted: "The head has fallen off the bowl and has a big scar, and after eighteen years, he will still be a man, come to kill." ”

Zong Yun'er said angrily: "The surname Wu is not a good person, and he said before that he would kill us chickens and dogs, why do you do things for bad people!" ”

Shi Xiu looked at the girl with tears in her eyes, softened slightly, and said: "There are few good officials like your grandfather, there are few in the whole world, even if your grandfather, he can only protect the people under his rule and suffer less, my brother's ambition is to make no one in the world suffer, you say that he is a bad person, and I also say that your grandfather is a bad person who knows that the emperor is mediocre and swears to defend it to the death." ”

Mu Hong said with a smile: "Brother Shixiu, why don't you say much, the truth of the big husband, a little woman naturally doesn't understand." ”

Zong Fang was afraid that his beloved daughter would be bewitched, so he hurriedly said: "Although the little girl is ignorant, she also knows that loyalty to the monarch and serving the country is the right way." Your heresies, my clan naturally doesn't understand. ”

After that, he raised his voice and said: "Wu Daguan, I brought out your people, please let our people go first." ”

Cao Cao looked from afar, saw that the four of them were well dressed, their faces were not bad, and they knew that they had not suffered anything, so he was relieved and ordered: "Let him go half." ”

Deng Fei took the order and asked his subordinates to release half of the prisoners, and those people were surprised and delighted, and they got up and ran to Penglai.

Zongfang Road; "Okay, you can come and pick them up."

Deng Fei found an axe, flew out, dismounted at the prisoner car, swung a big axe to split the prisoner car, and the four heroes inside jumped out one after another, Wangzong Fang's father and daughter hugged their fists, turned around and rushed back to the main formation, and bowed down in front of Cao Cao: "Brother, I missed a big deal." ”

Cao Cao dismounted and helped everyone up: "Don't do anything with the brothers, I underestimated Zong Ze, but I didn't expect him to move like thunder." ”

Ling Deng Fei: "Let the rest of the people go." ”

Zhou Tong suddenly saw Sister-in-law Gu in the crowd, pointed and scolded: "Brother, it's this mother-in-law, a pot of wine overturned me and others, making the boss shameless"

Sister-in-law Gu glanced back at him and sneered: "You have been walking for a long time, you will eat and drink when the old lady gives you wine and meat, and will you eat and drink with feces and urine?" ”

Shi Xiu is the most shrewd person, but yesterday he also fell into the calculation, not to say it on the surface, secretly led to the shame of his life, and stared at Gu's sister-in-law at the moment and said: "I also eat you deceived the master, everyone has met in the mountains and rivers, see you in the future, and you will be rewarded." ”

Sister-in-law Gu was about to ridicule her, but it was Sun Xin who thought that her brother was still in her hands, so she grabbed her mother-in-law and dragged her away.

Cao Cao looked at the city, waved his hand, and retreated with the men and horses.

At the head of the city, Zong Ze and the prefect appeared together, Zong Ze was full of sadness, coughed a few times, and said in a low voice: "The prefect is the minister, this person is extraordinary, and there are many wolves and tigers under his command, if you don't get rid of it early, there will be a big disaster in the future." The prefect nodded again and again and said: "Don't worry about the general judgment, when the government writes the beginning and the end, I will send a fast horse to report to the imperial court to know, and I will also ask for credit for the general judgment." ”

At the same moment, Cao Cao said to Deng Fei: "Brother, I have to work hard for you, take dozens of people who are good at riding and shooting, divide into several teams, take turns to keep an eye on the official road, ordinary business travelers ignore it, and when they see the man on horseback, they shoot over and take it, and after seven days, it is not too late for you to return to Erlong Mountain." ”

There is a division of teaching: after a fierce battle, each army was collected, and the city was still floating in Songjing. Mountains and rivers meet each other, and the rivers and lakes are frightened.
