Chapter 224: Cao Ren's Death Downstream

When tens of thousands of Han troops came out of the mountains and forests, the fate of thousands of Wei troops on the shore was already doomed.

Among the Han generals who rushed towards the thousands of Wei troops, although Zhang Bao was not the most senior, he was definitely the bravest.

Bud means branch, Zhang Fei named his eldest son the word bud, which shows Zhang Fei's expectations for Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao, who grew up under Zhang Fei's training since childhood, may not be as brave as his father Zhang Fei, but he is also the top choice among the Han generals.

The weapon used by Zhang Bao is a halberd.

As a long-term weapon that has been circulating in the land of China for hundreds of years, the halberd has always been feared by the enemy for its great lethality.

However, because of the lethald of the halberd, the halberd cannot be used by those who are not powerful and heavy.

Zhang Bao waved the halberd in his hand, jumped over the Han army formation, and then rushed into the Wei army's army like a hungry wolf.

After the halberd flowers flashed, the Wei army under Zhang Bao's horse let out a burst of wails.

Thousands of Wei troops were already depressed, and after they saw Zhang Bao so brave, even with the command of all Wei generals, it was difficult for them to maintain their formation.

When there was a riot in the formation of thousands of Wei troops, Ding Feng and Zhang Wei seized the opportunity to command the Han army, and instantly divided the formation of thousands of Wei troops into many pieces.

With the addition of a steady stream of Han troops in the rear, the formation of the Wei army became more and more scattered.

Many Wei troops fell under the long knives of the Han army, and under the harvest of the long knives of the Han army, a touch of blood bloomed on the banks of the Han River.

Driven by the dark tide, the Han water keeps rushing towards the shore.

Whenever the clear Han water washes away, the blood from the banks of the Han River will be carried into the river.

But as the blood increased, Rao was washed by the Han water, and the blood on the riverside began to accumulate gradually.

When the Han army was besieging the enemy, they would bring blood flowers from the puddles on the ground and fly them on their waists.

Even in the end, the clear river water that came and went with the dark tide also had a dark blood red after returning to the Han water.

Cao Ren was under the protection of Chang Diao, Xiahou Shang and others, and fought and retreated, all the way to the shore.

But by this time, the ship behind them had already been destroyed by the fire, and they had no way out.

And as time passed, the thousands of Wei troops on the shore either died or surrendered, and there were hardly any standing figures.

The only ones who were still standing were guarding the Wei generals, and the only ones left were dozens of Wei troops with fighting spirit.

Most of them are the personal guards of the Wei generals, and others will surrender, but they won't.

After destroying most of the Wei army, tens of thousands of Han troops have turned into barriers, encircling Cao Ren and other Wei generals on the riverside.

Surrounded by the majestic Han army barriers, Cao Ren and other Wei generals were already in a desperate situation.

All the Wei generals looked at the approaching Han army with red eyes, and they clenched the steel knives in their hands, and there was determination in their eyes.

Among the Wei generals, Xiahou Shang's eyes were the most red.

Xiahou Shang looked back, and he saw tens of thousands of Wei troops either burned to death or jumped into the water and drowned.

And the remaining large part of the Wei army, after seeing that they had been surrounded, had completely given up struggling.

In their desire to survive, they surrendered to the Han army by boat.

Now they can really be called the Wei army, and the only people who fought for them were dozens of people in front of them.

Nearly 50,000 troops!

Now there are only dozens of people left, and the sadness in their hearts is about to devour Xiahou Shang's whole person.

The origin of this consequence was Meng Da's letter, and it was he who contributed to this consequence!

It was he who chose to believe in Meng Da, and it was he who made meritorious contributions, if it weren't for him, tens of thousands of Wei troops and many Wei generals would not have fallen to this point.

Xiahou Shang looked at the treasure knife that Xiahou Yuan gave him in his hand.

When Xiahou Yuan gave him this treasure knife, he hoped that he would use this treasure knife to get rid of all the enemies of the Cao family.

But now Xiahou Yuan's expectations are like a spell, frantically stirring Xiahou Shang's heart.

The emotion of remorse made Xiahou Shang put the treasure knife in his hand on his neck.

But just as he was about to swing his sword to kill himself, a pair of strong hands grasped his blade, making it impossible for him to carry out the act of killing himself.

Xiahou Shang looked in the direction of the big hands, and he found that it was Cao Ren who stopped him from killing himself.

When Xiahou Shang faced Cao Ren's tiger eyes, his eyes were already full of tears.

At this time, Cao Ren's palm holding the blade was dripping blood, and Xiahou Shang hurriedly threw away the treasure knife in his hand when he saw this.

After throwing away the treasure sword, Xiahou Shang let out a sad cry at Cao Ren: "Uncle, it is Shang who is stupid, and it is Shang who deserves to die, which caused Uncle and tens of thousands of troops to fall into death. ”

Hearing Xiahou Shang say this, Cao Ren shook his head, and he said to Xiahou Shangyan:

"I am the Lord, and all sins are mine."

Although this campaign to capture Hanxing County took place under the influence of Xiahou Shang, it was Cao Ren who really made the decision in the end.

If Cao Ren did not agree to this battle, then even if Cao Pi agreed to Xiahou Shang's actions, Cao Ren's prestige would be able to dissuade Cao Pi from changing his mind.

Cao Ren looked at the Han army that surrounded them, and the red color made his eyes tingle.

I'm afraid that in his life, he will never see the yellow color that represents the prosperity of the Great Wei again.

Cao Ren knew that the Han army surrounded them but did not continue to besiege them, but because he saw that they had no power to resist, so he wanted to capture them alive.

And this idea of the Han army also gave Cao Ren some time to instruct Xiahou Shang.

Cao Ren stretched out his bloody hand to pick up the treasure knife that Xiahou Shang had dropped to the ground, then handed it to him and said to him:

"Don't forget the expectations of Miaocai!"

"You're still young, don't kill yourself because of a momentary defeat.

Thinking about how majestic and strategic the first emperor was, he also fell into danger many times, but the first emperor was able to achieve great things in the end, because he was ashamed and then brave. ”

Cao Ren's words fell on Xiahou Shang's ears, causing the look of shame and indignation on his face to lighten slightly.

Even the other Wei generals on the side changed their faces after hearing Cao Ren's words.

Then Cao Ren looked at the Wei generals beside him, and he said to them: "Take care of your useful body, and wait for the coming day!" ”

After saying this, Cao Ren threw away the long knife in his hand and walked forward towards the many Han troops.

Xiahou Shang, Chang Diao and other Wei generals wanted to stop Cao Ren's move, but they were stopped by a stern look from Cao Ren.

【Mi Han】 【】

Cao Ren has been in charge of the heavy army for decades, and his power is not lower than that of Cao Pi.

Now although he is at the end of his rope, he is still the general of the Great Wei's chariot cavalry!

After slowly walking ten steps away from the many Han soldiers, Cao Ren shouted at the Han army wall in front of him:

"Now that you have the overall situation in your hands, why don't you show up and see it?"

Although Cao Ren's shouting did not name names, everyone knew who he was shouting at.

In this situation, the only person who is qualified to meet Cao Ren is Mi Yang.

Not long after Cao Ren's shouts were heard, there was a commotion on the tight Han military wall.

Then the Han army surrounding Cao Ren and the others parted on both sides to reveal a passage, and a figure riding a tall horse appeared from this passage.

Mi Yang gradually came to Cao Ren not far away.

Mi Yang sat high and immediately said to Cao Ren below: "The overall situation has been decided, why not descend early?" ”

When Mi Yang's words of persuasion came into Cao Ren's ears, Cao Ren seemed to have heard some joke, and he said to Mi Yang:

"If the situation between you and me were to change today, and I surrendered to you, would you agree?"

Cao Ren's rhetorical question did not surprise Mi Yang.

According to Cao Ren's loyalty to Cao Wei and his influence, once he is defeated and surrounded, there is generally only one fate.

Mi Yang looked at the saber at Cao Ren's waist.

Cao Ren threw away the long knife in his hand, but kept the saber at his waist, and his mind was already revealed.

When Cao Ren's words already had the intention of death, Mi Yang did not feel half regretful in his heart.

There are endless famous generals in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Ren, as the number one general in the Cao clan, is naturally the best among them.

But Mi Yang does not have any sympathy for Cao Ren because of this, or has any tolerant attitude.

If it was Zhang He, Zhang Liao or other famous generals who were standing under Mi Yang's horse now, Mi Yang would dismount and look at them on an equal footing in order to save their face.

But now it was Cao Ren standing in front of him.

Twenty-three years after Jian'an, Cao Ren Tuwan!

Whether it is the history books or the tragic scenes that he heard from Wang Hong's ears, they all prove how deep the crimes Cao Ren committed in Wancheng were in the first place.

As the seat of Nanyang County, Wancheng has a permanent population of no less than tens of thousands, and it is even likely to be more.

As a general, it is a necessary quality to be in charge of the army.

If it is during the battle between the two armies, because of the command of the general, there are tens of thousands of casualties, it is inevitable that it is the norm.

However, when the overall situation was decided, Cao Ren actually ordered his subordinates to slaughter tens of thousands or even more unarmed people.

This makes Mi Yang, a person from the next generation, how could he have any good feelings for Cao Ren.

So in the face of this world-famous general in front of him, Mi Yang stopped saying nothing after persuading him to surrender again.

Then Mi Yang asked Cao Ren directly: "If you have a last word, you can say it all." ”

Listening to Mi Yang's words, Cao Ren sneered, he looked at the Han Lu in front of him that he wanted to get rid of, and slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

When Cao Ren made this move, not only Xiahou Shang and others behind Cao Ren were shocked, but even Mi Yang's generals Zhang Bao, Zhang Nan and others also rushed up to protect Mi Yang.

But the generals' actions were stopped by Mi Yang waving his hand.

Cao Ren put the long sword drawn from his waist on his neck, and then he looked at Mi Yang and said: "I have fought all my life, and I am not a person who is afraid of death, and my family has His Majesty's grace, what are my last words?" ”

Then Cao Ren then said to Mi Yang: "It's you who punish Lu Meng first, and then take my head, I'm afraid that you will be suspected of being a master of high merit!" ”

As soon as Cao Ren's words came out, the faces of the Han generals behind Mi Yang all showed anger.

This guy is dying, and he is still demagoguery!

After Cao Ren finished speaking, he laughed and turned around, he looked at the group of Wei generals behind him, and shouted in front of the two armies: "Put down your weapons!" ”

This was Cao Ren's last order as the general of the Great Wei Che Cavalry, and this order could not only save the lives of Xiahou Shang and others, but also give them the opportunity to return to the north in the future without being criticized.

In the army, military orders are like imperial orders!

After finishing speaking, Cao Ren looked at Xiahou Shang and the others with expectant eyes.

Then he slashed the long sword in his hand across his neck, and a blood flower bloomed in front of Xiahou Shang and the others.

When the blood flower hit the ground, a majestic body fell heavily on the muddy ground.

Before Cao Ren was completely unconscious, he seemed to feel a man wearing a crown walking towards him with a smile in his trance.

Brother!

Brother Ren did his best.

This was the last thought in Cao Ren's mind, and when this thought flashed, Cao Ren, the general of the Great Wei Cavalry, was killed!

Xiahou Shang and other Wei generals saw Cao Ren die in front of him like this, and a huge look of grief appeared on their faces one by one, and then they all fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

Then the weapons in their hands fell off.

Seeing this scene, Mi Yang ordered the Han army behind him to step forward and capture Xiahou Shang and others.

When Xiahou Shang and others were captured, Zhang Bao and other generals rode horses to Mi Yang.

Among the generals, Zhang Bao's personality was the most straightforward, he looked at Cao Ren's corpse on the ground and asked Mi Yang:

"General, what to do with Cao Ren's body?"

When Zhang Bao asked this sentence, Zhao Tong, Cheng Ji, Zhang Nan and others also showed inquiring on their faces.

Cao Ren's identity is unusual, although he is dead, what to do with his body is also an important matter.

Facing Zhang Bao's inquiry, Mi Yang pondered for a moment and said: "The head of the owl, and then properly stored with incense ashes, and then put it in a wooden box." ”

After hearing Mi Yang say this, Zhang Bao and the others showed excitement on their faces.

What Mi Yang wants to do is self-evident.

Cao Ren was a relative of the Great Wei dynasty, a dynasty established by usurping the foundation of the Han dynasty.

In the eyes of Zhang Bao and others, who regard the revival of the Han dynasty as their lifelong dream, Cao Ren is a national thief, and he will not have any sympathy for the national thief Zhang Bao.

After disposing of Cao Ren's corpse, Mi Yang immediately turned to the Han generals and ordered:

"You immediately led the army to board the ship from downstream, and then rushed down the river to Wudang."

"Be sure to rush before the enemy reinforcements arrive in Wudang, and cooperate with Xiu Yuan and other troops to surround Wudang County!"

Hearing Mi Yang's order, the faces of the Han generals showed excitement, and they bowed to Mi Yang and said, "Subordinates receive orders." ”

In the county government of Wudang County, Man Zhong looked at the sky outside the hall, and the solemn color on his face became heavier and heavier.

Cao Ren's army had set out in the morning, but no good news had come until late afternoon.

It stands to reason that Cao Ren led an army of nearly 50,000 to go on the expedition, and with Meng Da's internal should, even if he couldn't take Xicheng in one day, then at least now he should camp outside Xicheng.

But now Cao Ren's army of nearly 50,000 has disappeared as if out of thin air since he set out on the expedition, and even the scouts he sent on his own initiative have not returned.

This made the heart of the full pet full of worry.

Just as Man Pet was about to continue sending out scouts, a soldier suddenly stumbled into the hall.

After he saw Man Pet, he immediately knelt down and pointed to the outside of the city, and anxiously reported to Man Pet:

"General, there are a lot of enemy troops outside the city suddenly!"

After hearing the news, a huge look of shock suddenly appeared on Man's face!
