Nearly four watches, in the dead of night, Cao Hong personally led the elite soldiers and came to the Peach Blossom Station with Xu Huang.

Seeing that the lights at the camp gate were sparse and quietly approaching, I smelled a vague aroma of wine in the wind, which was very mellow.

Cao Hong couldn't help but smack his lips: "I heard that there is Du Kang wine in Xiangyang, it is very delicious, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

Xu Huang stared at the camp vigilantly, and his expression became more and more solemn: "The general is careful of deceit!" ”

"Well, cough cough ......" Cao Hong realized that he was off topic, and hurriedly ordered: "I will attack the left road, Gongming will attack the right road, and while he is drunk and unconscious, he will capture Liu Qi alive, which can help the prime minister pacify Jiangnan." ”

At this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be sent, Xu Huang had nothing to say, and beckoned the men and horses to lean against the cliff to approach the camp.

When they arrived at the ground of an arrow, the soldiers had already prepared the fire arrows, and the order was laid, and the arrows flew into the camp like locusts, carrying the flames.

The defenders were frightened, hurriedly warning and beating drums, Xu Huang took the lead, waved a big axe to cut the wooden door, and his own soldiers pushed open the fence and rushed in.

At the same time, Cao Hong on the other side also led his troops into the camp, and seeing that the Jingzhou army was really defenseless, the men and horses fled in panic under the firelight, and came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Ma Yan was ordered to guard the left camp, and when he heard the sound of shouting and killing, he immediately led his troops to resist the enemy, and was about to move forward, but when he saw that it was Cao Hong and Zhang Yi who had killed, he couldn't help but feel weak for a while, and ordered the soldiers to come forward to intercept.

Liu Qi and Pang Tong ran out of the tent and beckoned their soldiers to retreat, but Ma Yan had to hide behind the tent to prevent both sides from seeing it, and when Liu Qi left the camp, he fled immediately.

Looking back, Fu Wei, who was guarding the right camp, had already led the troops to kill, and was meeting Xu Huang, and the two fought each other, but Shihe, who was furious, was hit by the angry Xu Huang with an axe, and turned the horse away.

"Not good!" Ma Yan originally wanted Fu Wei to break off, but seeing that he was defeated by Xu Huang, wouldn't he want to leave himself at the end?

At this time, Cao Hong had seen Liu Qi and urged the troops to chase after him, Ma Yan panicked, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and retreated on the horse's back.

As soon as he arrived at the rear camp, out of nowhere, half of a rattan rod stretched out, and the horse's leg was tripped up, and the horse lost its front hooves again, and the men and horses rolled forward.

"I'm Nima......" Mayan panicked and scolded.

Ma Yan was once again smashed to the ground, and subconsciously rolled into the trench next to the road, and saw that Fu Wei had already roared out with the remnants of the soldiers.

"Wait for me......" Ma Yan was about to wave and shout, but Xu Huang had already chased after him, so he had to hide in the ditch with his neck bent.

In the blink of an eye, the Peach Blossom Station camp has been occupied by Cao's army, and they are searching and patrolling everywhere, Xu Huang is chasing forward, and Cao Hong is hurrying over, commanding the men and horses to pursue and capture Liu Qi alive.

Ma Yan had no way out, and suddenly had an idea, took off his armor, and when Cao Hong reached the camp gate, he crawled out of the trench and shouted: "General Cao, slow down, don't chase!" ”

Cao Hong's mount was so frightened that people stood up, and his own soldiers surrounded him with a hula, swords, guns, bows and arrows pointed at Ma Yan in unison, and the cold light flickered.

"Don't do it, it's me!" Ma Yan hurriedly raised his hands, "I'm Ma Yan, Ma Yan—"

The soldier held the torch forward and escorted Ma Yan to Cao Hong, Ma Yan knelt down and said: "There is an ambush ahead, General Cao can't chase it." ”

"Huh? Get up and answer," Cao Hong's eyes were slightly cold, he glanced at the dark night sky, and asked, "You were captured by Liu Qi, how did you end up here?" ”

"That Xu Huang ......" Ma Yan pointed to the distance, suddenly stopped, hugged his fists and said: "General, there is a confidential military information report below, can you talk alone?" ”

Cao Hong asked again: "How do you know that there is an ambush ahead?" ”

Ma Yan replied firmly: "There is a Crouching Tiger Gang ten miles ahead, and Zhang Fei is ambushed here, this is ...... The last general has a message, is it afraid that it will affect the morale of the army, and I hope the general will forgive me. ”

Cao Hong hesitated slightly, sent Zhang Yi to lead the troops to meet Xu Huang, be careful and vigilant, collect the troops back to the camp, and call Ma Yan to the tent alone for questioning.

Ma Yan knelt down and said: "General, that Xu Huang has already surrendered to Liu Qi, and our army has repeatedly fought unfavorably, and he is secretly communicating with the news." ”

Cao Hong stood up with a bang, walked up to Ma Yan in two steps, looked down at him and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"Yes!" Ma Yan nodded heavily, took a deep breath and said:

"The last general will be captured, Liu Qi wants to persuade me to surrender, but I would rather die than obey, and warn him that Prime Minister Tianwei is obedient from all over the world, and the army is everywhere, invincible, and he is persuaded to know the current affairs early."

Cao Hong squinted at Ma Yan and snorted coldly: "You still have a little backbone." ”

"The last general is loyal to the prime minister, and the sun and the moon can be expressed!" Ma Yan solemnly swallowed his saliva and continued:

"When the two of us were theorizing, suddenly Zhang Fei broke into the tent and said that Xu Huang had news delivered, and the last general overheard such important news, and as soon as his mind changed, he pretended to surrender and inquire about information."

Cao Hong hurriedly asked, "How is Xu Huang?" ”

Ma Yan replied: "Liu Qi saw that this matter was broken by me, so he told the truth, it turned out that Xu Huang had already been subdued by Guan Yu in Bowangpo......"

Ma Yan half-truthed and half-false, and repeated Liu Qi's words, this time luring the enemy deep and setting up an ambush, wanting to wipe out Cao Hong's soldiers and horses and take Chang'an City.

"This ...... How is this possible? Cao Hong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he stood there for a long time unable to speak.

Although he suspected that Xu Huang was unwilling to fight with all his might, he never thought that Xu Huang would betray Cao Cao, which was more ridiculous than Cao Pi opening his mouth to borrow two million money from him.

Ma Yan gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know my heart, Xu Huang tricked me into the camp, and the whole army was wiped out. ”

"Is it really Xu Huang's secret message?" Cao Hong was shocked, came back to his senses, and his face was gloomy.

Ma Yan pointed in the direction of Wuguan and said loudly: "If the general doesn't believe it, he will know if he finds out that Crouching Tiger Gangfu is in ambush, if it is not for the last general to mix in the chaotic army, risking death to stay behind to block, presumably the general army has already ......."

The corners of Cao Hong's eyes twitched, and he slowly sat down in the handsome position, and it took a long time before he raised his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

Ma Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, got up and took the opportunity to say: "This matter is very important, if the general does not dare to deal with Xu Huang, he must also be escorted back to Xuchang for trial, otherwise not only is it hopeless to take the military pass, but I am afraid that Chang'an will also be in danger." ”

Cao Hong's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Your new person, your mind is undecided, can Liu Qiyan tell you about confidential matters?" I'm afraid it's a divisive plan. ”

"That Zhang Fei is a reckless man, breaking into the account and leaking his mouth, it must be the truth!" Ma Yan looked aggrieved and said hurriedly: "General Cao, not to mention the Nanyang War, it is a small martial arts, with Xu Huang's ability, he can't attack it for half a year, and I'm afraid that the prime minister may not be willing to believe it. ”

Cao Hong took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead with his fingers, hesitated, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the tent, and it was Xu Huang and Zhang Yi who were returning to the camp.

Cao Hong's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Why didn't General Xu chase the enemy?" ”

Xu Huang hugged his fists and said: "The night is dark and the wind is high, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, I am afraid that there will be an ambush ahead." ”

"Look at it......" Ma Yan shouted like a male duck pinched by the neck, "he already knew, he already knew"

Cao Hong was furious, slammed the case, pointed at Xu Huang and shouted: "Xu Gongming, are you guilty?" ”
