I saw a plump young woman standing inside the door, her pretty face was pale and she was trembling.

It's not Zhang Xiu's aunt, Mrs. Zou, who is it?

And the reason why she was trembling was very simple, a steel knife was on her neck!

Hearing Zhang Xiu's scolding, Cao Ang touched his nose, looking embarrassed and a little aggrieved at the same time.

Because it was none other than Yang Ling who came up with this method!

It turned out that Yang Ling suddenly remembered just now that since Zhang Xiu valued Zou Rui so much, he might as well use her life as a threat to force Zhang Xiu to let them go.

Cao Ang felt that this plan was a bit inferior, and he didn't want to agree, but Yang Ling's words made him change his mind.

"Those who achieve great things should be informal! That's what I used to say to your father, and he couldn't agree with me. ”

Cao Ang's heart was shocked!

What's more, for the sake of the lives of himself and the teacher, even if he is a villain?

So there is this scene!

"Let go of my aunt!"

Zhang Xiu's pupils were about to erupt with fire, and he said viciously.

"General Zhang Xiu, I don't want to embarrass Mrs. Zou. As long as you let us go, I will never hurt Mrs. Zou!" ”

The audience was silent, and everyone focused their eyes on Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu gritted her teeth.

He knew that if he let Cao Ang leave, he was afraid that there would be endless troubles!

But how could he watch his aunt being killed?

Seeing Zhang Xiu's hesitant expression, Jia Xu on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice,

"Lord, don't delay the big ......"

"Strategist! If I don't care about my aunt, won't I be laughed at by the world? ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Zou Rui, who was frightened, and finally sighed,

"Okay, I promise you!"

Hearing this, Cao Ang and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jia Xu shook his head slightly, his face full of disappointment!

The shaft is not enough and conspiracy!

As Zhang Xiu's men dispersed, Cao Ang, Yang Ling and his party wrapped up Mrs. Zou and rushed out of the city.

In order to show sincerity, Zhang Xiu did not press too hard, but just followed from a distance of about a hundred steps.

Yang Ling and the others were unimpeded and went out of the city smoothly.

Although Zhao Yun outside the city did not receive the news, he heard the shouts of killing in the city, and naturally knew that something had happened.

He didn't dare to slack off, and he was already waiting outside the city with his army.

Seeing Yang Ling and his party leaving the city safe and sound, Zhao Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Big brother, son-in-law, what's going on?"

"Come back!"

Yang Ling said briefly.

"Understood!"

Zhao Yun saw Zhang Xiu's people following behind, and he was immediately stunned.

"Cao Ang! You're safe now, why don't you let my aunt go?! ”

Zhang Xiuyao said in a loud voice.

"Teacher?"

Cao Ang looked at Yang Ling.

"Let it go."

Taking Mrs. Zou as a hostage is really a bit dishonorable.

If you break your promise again, you will be a dead man!

Yang Ling walked up to Zou Rui, sighed, and arched his hand,

"Madame is frightened, and I have no choice but to do it! I hope that Madame will forgive me, and I will send you back. ”

Seeing that Yang Ling didn't mean to hurt himself, a big stone fell to the ground in Zou Rui's heart, and said in a low voice,

"Thank you, sir."

Yang Ling nodded at the soldiers on the left and right, and they immediately withdrew their weapons.

Zou Rui secretly glanced at Yang Ling, and then ran towards Zhang Xiu without looking back.

After Mrs. Zou went back, Zhang Xiu said coldly,

"Cao Ang Xiao'er, I have written down today's hatred, and I will return it to you tenfold in the future!"

With that, he pulled the reins and led the army back to the city.

Yang Ling, Cao Ang and others also led the troops back to the camp.

Inside the tent.

Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, and Xu Chu were dejected.

Yang Ling sat on the collapse with a straight face, with a face of hatred that iron is not steel!

Although they returned unharmed tonight, they still lost a lot of manpower.

The most important thing is that Wancheng, which has just arrived and is not yet warm, is so lost!

How could Yang Ling not settle accounts after the autumn?

"Son-in-law! Could it be that in your mind, the teacher is that kind of person? ”

Yang Ling sighed.

Cao Ang wanted to say yes, but looking at Yang Ling's angry appearance, he still honestly shut his mouth.

"Big brother, the son-in-law has realized that they were wrong, so forget about it."

Zhao Yun on the side stood up to play a round,

"The first thing to do is to think about what to do next?"

Now that Zhang Xiu has rebelled again, it is impossible to take Wancheng with their strength alone.

When the Jingzhou army arrived, Wancheng would naturally be occupied by Liu Biao.

Yang Ling's expression softened, and he said slowly,

"Actually, I still have a back hand......"

"Really? What's next? ”

Cao Ang's eyes widened and he hurriedly said.

"You'll find out later."

Yang Ling smiled and stopped explaining to them.

……

Wan Chengzhong.

After placing her aunt properly, Zhang Xiu called Jia Xu to her study to discuss business.

"Strategist, then Cao Ang insulted me too much, what should we do?"

Jia Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

You've let people go, and you're asking me what to do?

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiu smiled,

"Please also understand that if I ignore my aunt, wouldn't I be no different from a beast?"

Jia Xu knew that it was no longer interesting to care about these things.

He sighed and frowned,

"As soon as Cao Ang gets out like this, we'll be in trouble."

Wait for Liu Biao's army to arrive, and join forces with Cao's army to attack the city.

With Zhang Xiu's strength, how can he resist it?

Jia Xu stroked his beard and groaned,

"There was such an accident tonight, and Cao Ang was able to escape by means of the next three indiscriminately."

"Cao Jun's morale must be low!"

"Tomorrow, I will ask the lord to take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, even if Cao Ang can't be solved, he will be defeated and driven away."

"After dealing with him, I will go to see the Jingzhou army again and persuade them not to attack the city."

Zhang Xiu knew that there was no way out, so he could only nod and say,

"Everything is at the command of the military advisor."

Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, Jia Xu didn't stay long, got up and left.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, the old butler came again.

"Master, someone sent a letter just now."

Jia Xu was slightly stunned, took the letter, opened it and read it.

After reading the content of the letter, Jia Xu's face became extremely serious.

He was silent for a moment, burned the letter with the candlestick next to him, and then let out a long puff of turbidity!

……

Early the next morning.

Zhang Xiu ordered all the soldiers and horses and went out of the city.

On the bank of the Shushui River, he pointed at the Cao Jun camp and shouted and scolded!

"Teacher, what should I do? Do you want to send someone to meet the battle? ”

After being scolded for making a mistake yesterday, Cao Ang didn't dare to make any more claims without authorization.

"Of course we're going to send someone to meet it."

Yang Ling narrowed his eyes and said to Zhao Yun on the side,

"Zilong, it's up to you to meet your senior brother!"

At yesterday's banquet, after some small talk, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu found that the two were actually brothers, both from Tong Yuan's disciples.

It's just that I didn't expect to be on the battlefield today, and I want to fight.
