"The general is angry, I was careless!" Cao Xiu's face was full of shame, apologized again and again, and glared at Xiahou Nan: "It's all because Zilin has a lot of mouth." ”

Xiahou Nan was stunned on the side, and he couldn't say it to his face, so he had to sit aside.

Zhou Tai threw the dagger and snorted coldly: "I don't hesitate to risk death to come, my loyalty can only be shown by heaven, and I want to listen to the villain's words." ”

Cao Xiu no longer had any doubts about Zhou Tai, personally pulled him into the table, and promised: "If you get the land of Huainan, I should be the first credit for the general, and I am willing to give up this naval army." ”

Zhou Tai was overjoyed, the two released their previous suspicions, and Cao Xiu ordered people to drink and discuss the matter of surrender.

Xiahou Nan's face was extremely ugly on the side, and he offered advice with good intentions, but he didn't know that he was not a person inside and out, and he had the heart to brush his sleeves away, and he was afraid of refuting Cao Xiu's face, which made Zhou Tai suspicious, and he drank wine with a bad taste.

The banquet was closed to the third watch, Zhou Tai first returned to the village, plotted against other Jiangdong naval armies, made another appointment to surrender, first named General Li Hai, to get rid of Liu Qi, and then recommended to be appointed as the governor of the naval army.

Sending Zhou Tai away, Cao Xiu saluted Xiahou Nan and said: "Fang Cai has to do it as a last resort to save Zhou Tai's heart, Zilin is not strange." ”

Xiahou Nan coped with two sentences, and returned to the camp in a hurry, and suddenly found that the affairs in the army were more complicated than his business and making money, and the people's hearts were treacherous, and they were constrained everywhere, not to mention, and they would easily incur the disaster of killing, and they felt a little discouraged.

The next day, Wen Qin led 3,000 cavalry to Shuizhai, and Cao Xiu wondered: "Why do you need cavalry to help in the battle on the water?" ”

Wen Qin's face was full of joy, and he took out Cao Cao's secret letter: "The prime minister has a secret order here, and the governor will know it after reading it." ”

Cao Xiu looked at it and laughed and said: "It turns out that Zhou Tai came to surrender, the prime minister has already made arrangements, Zilin, you are smart, and you almost missed a big event." ”

Xiahou Nan was stunned and said, "It's my business again?" ”

Cao Xiuping retreated left and right, handed the letter to Xiahou Nan, it turned out that Cao Cao secretly ordered Huang Gai to surrender, is planning against the Jiangdong generals, if someone comes to Shun, to plan as soon as possible, scheduled for the third day of March, in one fell swoop to break through Huainan.

Wen Qin also told Cao Cao about setting up an ambush in Bagong Mountain, defeating the Wu army, killing more than 10,000 enemies, and almost capturing Liu Qi.

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan said angrily: "The prime minister is heroic and wise, I can't wait!" ”

Cao Xiu was not convinced, and said proudly: "I expected that Zhou Tai would come down sincerely, and Zilin had to test him, which was almost self-defeating. ”

Wen Qin was shocked: "Kan Ze first said that he wanted to persuade Zhou Tai to surrender, and there was news at this time?" ”

"I've seen this person before!" Cao Xiu told him that Zhou Tai personally came to the camp last night and broke off his will.

Wen Qin said happily: "Zhou Tai's intention is urgent, which shows that Liu Qi is already unpopular in Jiangdong, and there must be other people to respond!" ”

Cao Xiu said with a smile: "Today, Zhou Tai intercepted and swore that the Jiangdong Navy is not to worry, a certain and Cheng sent troops at the same time, and the thieves can be broken by attacking twice!" ”

Xiahou Nan was sneered, his anger and blood surged, and he blushed and said loudly: "You guys underestimate Liu Qi too much, be careful that this is his trick." ”

Cao Xiu's face suddenly sank, and he said unhappily: "A certain person is about to enter the army under the secret order of the prime minister, why did Zilin say this, slow down our army's heart?" ”

Wen Qin has always despised Xiahou Nan as a person, and sneered on the side: "If you can strategize after only reading the military book for a few days, with what I have learned so far, wouldn't I have to be better than Sun Wu and Han Xin?" ”

The two sat together, discussed and contacted Zhou Tai to raise troops in early March, and planned Cao Cao to enter Huainan, and the naval army took advantage of the situation to cross the river and break through Jiangdong.

Seeing that the two of them had ignored him, Xiahou Nan was annoyed in his heart, brushed his sleeves out, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Cao Gong pressed me, Cao Hong bullied me, and now even Cao Xiu slanders me, this Cao family's matter is really difficult to do, it is very difficult to do——"

At this time, the fighting spirit was lost, and he returned to the camp and lay down on the bed, and no longer asked about the serial things, and once he was idle, he felt that the army was boring, the camp tent was damp, and the bed board was too hard, and he didn't feel annoyed in any place.

I also remembered that the Xuchang industry was lost, and the land and property of Qian County were also mortgaged, and I became more and more angry with the people of the Cao family, this time the city was broken by Guan Yu, and Mrs. Cao died and was clean, but it was a pity for those concubines who were raised, and I don't know who took advantage of them.

With a long sigh, he turned over and muttered, "Black Pearl......"

……

The war in Huainan was treacherous, but Cao Hong embarked on the road to Luoyang, from Xunyang to the ship, all the way to the river scenery is open, the mountains on both sides of the river stretch, the spring is infinite.

Wang Wei, who was in charge of the escort, asked: "I don't know how this boating on the river is compared to Tongquetai in Wei County?" ”

Cao Hong turned his head to look at the handsome figure in the cabin, facing the river breeze, and laughed: "Here is fun, don't think about Wei!" ”

Although he was trapped in the city for half a month, he secretly sent his henchmen out of the city to send a secret letter to Cao Cao, informing them of the changes in Lujiang, so that they could take precautions as soon as possible, and then saw that the soldiers in the city were safe and sound, Cao Hong knew that he could not escape, so he simply enjoyed himself.

In the government of Wancheng Mansion, Pang Tong was carrying a gourd, drinking wine, writing a letter, and there was a row of letterheads on the table in front of him, and the handwriting was exactly the same as on the letterhead.

Zhang Fei smacked his lips, touched his stubble and said dissatisfiedly: "This Cao Hong's handwriting is not as good as my old Zhang's writing." ”

Pang Tong put away his pen and laughed: "General Yide's calligraphy is vigorous and vigorous, the rules are not as good as Zhong Xuan, but the boldness is comparable to Zhang Zhi, it is difficult for anyone to compare." ”

"If the world is peaceful, I would rather eat, drink, ride a horse, and pick up a pen and calligraphy than this fight, kill, kill, and kill."

Since the first battle in Longxi, Zhang Fei was poisoned and almost couldn't fight on the battlefield again, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened, and his temperament was much milder than before.

Pang Tong compared the handwriting again, flicked the letter paper and said with a smile: "Back then, the Cao thief almost deceived Yuan Zhi by copying the letter, and today he asked him to reap the consequences." ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "This is retribution, in the years when I was a butcher, I said that the pigs and dogs on the board were all people who did a lot of evil in their previous lives." Cao thief is treacherous by nature, kills at every turn, and tries to usurp rebellion, especially Dong Zhuo, comparable to a reckless thief, he is destined in the dark, these retributions do not fall on him, but also harm future generations. ”

Pang Tong put the stack of secret letters in the brazier and burned them, which were all collected from the confidants sent out by Cao Hong, and now Anhui City is only allowed to enter but not leave, and there are Wenzhi guards, not even a mouse can escape.

Ordered someone to send the letter to Cao Ying, Pang Tong said: "The lord's bitter plan has been completed, and I expect that Cao thief will definitely order Cao Hong to go out of Chaohu Lake from the Lujiang River, feign attack on Weixu, and actually take Hefei to join the army." Yide can be selected from the army and Cao Hong looks similar, with great fanfare along the east of the river, in order to cover the eyes and ears of the Wei army, since the elite soldiers through the stone to take Pengcheng, I in the Shiting Tun army to respond, see the opportunity to move, then Xuzhou can be determined! ”

Zhang Fei stood up and looked at the north, and said angrily: "I wanted to fight the yellow scarf with my eldest brother and second brother, guard Xuzhou, and support the Han family together, but unexpectedly I was disturbed by Lu Fengxian, and now I am back to my hometown, this must be the blessing of the eldest brother's spirit in the sky!" ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Xuzhou City has Mi Zizhong's retainer as the internal response, and Yide will be able to win when he goes." ”
