That night, Wei Yan led 2,000 elite soldiers, put on the captured armor of Cao's army, and crossed the river to the outside of Fancheng.

waited until the fifth watch, but did not see Cao Ren's defeated army fleeing back, and he was puzzled.

After dawn, Fu Wei said: "If we don't see the defeated army, we can't enter the city, how should this be good?" ”

Originally, according to Liu Qi's plan, when Cao's army was defeated and retreated, they followed the defeated army into the city, and then contacted Liu Qin to take the city, but now they can't enter the city, and they are in a dilemma for a while.

Wei Yan frowned and said: "It must be that the two armies have not yet decided the victory or defeat, and it is very easy to be discovered by sentinels outside the city during the day, so in order not to leak the traces, we have to act at the opportunity." ”

Fu Wei asked, "What countermeasures does the general have?" ”

Wei Yanyan said: "That Liu Qin is a relative of the Han family, and the lord was promoted to Fancheng to take office, and after being occupied by the Cao army, he had no choice but to surrender, and his heart may not be to Cao, so it is better to take the initiative to contact the city." ”

Fu Wei said: "I don't know Liu Qin's intentions, if you see him rashly, wouldn't it be a startling snake?" ”

Wei Yanyan said: "You must find a bold and careful person to infiltrate the city, and go to see him as the eldest prince's cronies, if Liu Qin really has the intention of surrendering, he can act according to the plan, if he has already surrendered to Cao, it is not too late to take the city overnight." ”

Fu Wei nodded and said, "This plan is very good, I am willing to take a trip!" ”

During this period of military training, Wei Yan also knew that Fu Wei was very strong, so he handed him the letter and told him to be careful.

Fu Wei unloaded his armor and pretended to be a farmer, picking up a load of dry firewood, he was also a local, so he easily blended into the city and entered the back office in the name of sending firewood to the government office.

After putting down the firewood, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders were not paying attention, he quietly came to the compound from the gang room, and saw a young man practicing swords.

"Good swordsmanship!" Fu Wei looked at it for a moment and stroked his palms in admiration.

The young man turned his head and saw that it was a strange farmer, frowned and said, "Who are you who dare to trespass into the mansion without permission?" ”

Fu Wei hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Nai Liu County, a distant relative, I am here to be like-minded, can you introduce it on your behalf?" ”

"How do you get into the house?" The man lifted his sword upside down, walked over vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "I am the nephew of the county order, I grew up in my uncle's house since I was a child, how come I have never seen you?" ”

It turned out that this young man was Liu Qin's nephew, surnamed Kou Mingfeng, the son of Luohou Kou, who had been following Liu Qin because of the death of his parents.

"I have letters to back it up!" Fu Wei took out the letter and said with a smile: "I just saw that Your Excellency's swordsmanship is exquisite and your martial arts are good, why don't you send troops with Cao Ren and make meritorious contributions, but hide in the back office to practice martial arts?" ”

Kou Feng's face suddenly showed indignation: "Uncle refuses to let me join the army. ”

Fu Wei rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "After all, Liu Xianling is a member of the Han family, I'm afraid he doesn't want to let Your Excellency join the Cao family, right?" ”

Kou Fengjian raised his eyebrows and raised his sword to point over: "Who are you?" ”

Fu Wei was unmoved, and handed over the letter: "Liu County Ling has read the letter, so he will naturally know." ”

Kou Feng saw that the letter was sent to Liu Qin, but he did not sign it, and he was suspicious of the letter and took Fu Wei to the study

Liu Qin was slightly surprised when he heard the report, opened the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "Bring people in quickly." ”

Kou Feng took Fu Wei into the study, and Liu Qin ordered him to close the door, looking flustered and puzzled.

Fu Wei hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates came on the order of the eldest prince, the Ming Mansion has already known the intention, Cao Ren will be defeated in front of the battle, please think twice." ”

Liu Qin looked at Fu Wei and sneered: "What is your intention to pretend to be Liu Qi's subordinates?" ”

Fu Wei hugged his fists and said: "I came under the order, there is no fraud, the eldest prince is entrusted by the emperor's uncle, leading Jingzhou, Xinghan family, and eliminating the traitor Cao, Ming Gong has no intention of serving the Cao family, and he will take the Han family as the priority, and work together." ”

"What? Are you a fine worker? Kou Feng was shocked, and raised his sword and pressed it on Fu Wei's neck.

Fu Wei looked indifferent and said with a smile: "I am a Hanchen, and I was ordered to see the lord and the clan, how can it be said that it is a meticulous work?" Aren't the two of you willing to serve Cao? ”

"Uncle?!" Kou Feng's face changed slightly, and he looked out the window carefully.

Liu Qin asked, "How do you conclude that this county is not loyal to the Cao family?" ”

Fu Wei smiled and said: "Shicai passed by the backyard and saw that this prince was strong in martial arts, but he was not discovered by Cao Ren, it must be that the Ming Mansion deliberately hid it and did not want him to serve the Cao family." ”

Kou Feng's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Uncle, is this true?" ”

"Don't stop yet!" Liu Qin scolded in a low voice, and said angrily: "As a member of the Han family, I was also led by my brother to guard Fancheng, and I was unexpectedly occupied by the Cao family, and I couldn't help it. I have long hoped that the king will recover the lost land, but I have no military power in my district and county orders, so what can I do? ”

Fu Wei said: "The eldest prince has a letter, so he naturally has a countermeasure, this time he must take Fancheng, and the Ming Mansion will no longer need to be oppressed by the Cao family in the future." ”

Liu Qin was overjoyed, pulled Fu Wei to sit down, and said: "I heard that the eldest prince angrily beheaded Cai Mao in Xiangyang, avenged Uncle Liu Huang, and led the troops to resist Cao, and wanted to rejuvenate the Han family, it seems that the rumors are true. ”

Fu Wei nodded and said: "It's not a secret, I was conscripted into the army from Xinye, and it was only half a month, and the eldest prince was not as sick and cowardly as rumored, not only capable and well-planned, but also strategic, it must be Cai Mao who deliberately spread rumors in order to seize power." ”

Liu Qin stroked his beard and said: "When I passed through Xiangyang before, the eldest prince was indeed ill, and it was really the Cai family who murdered him. ”

Kou Feng was already impatient, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, since the eldest prince has a plan, why didn't he act earlier?" ”

Liu Qin let out a sigh: "The two of us have been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally waited for today. ”

……

At this time, the drums outside Xinye City shook the sky, and the murderous spirit was soaring, and Cao Ren set up a big battlefield in front of the two armies, and 8,000 people laid out a big formation.

Liu Qi sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to break into the battle, and almost captured the two, but unfortunately the strength of the soldiers defending the formation was slightly inferior, and they were forced out by these two people with brute force, and they fell short.

Cao Ren was like a fisherman watching the big fish break through the fishing net and flee, beating his chest in a hurry.

Liu Qi asked Cao Ren to step forward to answer, and said: "This battle is nothing more than this, the general has been defeated, should he fulfill his promise?" ”

Cao Ren's face turned red with anger, and he roared angrily: "You just escaped, and you didn't break the formation, dare to speak out here?" ”

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "How can I break the formation?" ”

Cao Ren said sharply: "Dare to come to the battle to capture the general." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "I'm afraid that General Cao will ignore the formation later, and run away with his head in his hands." ”

"Let it go...... Licentious! Cao Ren said angrily: "Cao Mou lives and dies with this formation, although he lets the horse come." ”

Liu Qi pouted and smiled, nodded and said: "Then it is a word, I will break this formation in an hour, General Cao don't run!" ”

Cao Ren was a little weak by this weird smile, and said loudly: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

It has been seen just now that Liu Qi does not know the method of breaking the formation at all, but he just rushed out with Guan Daniel Zhang, and next time as long as the scheduling is appropriate, the two can be captured.

Cao Ren went back to reorganize the army, and Liu Qi also went to the village and discussed with Xu Shu: "I have been playing with Cao Ren for most of the day, presumably Zilong and they are also ready for ambush, and it is time to break the formation." ”

Xu Shu chuckled: "The 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Array' is as easy as a snap of the hand. ”

Immediately called Guan Zhang and the others to him and taught them the method of breaking into the formation again.
