Liu Bei did not leave in a hurry, but moved his soldiers and horses to a hidden place and continued to squat.

"Why don't you see the foot soldiers of the imperial army for a long time?" Liu Bei muttered a little in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

He has been squatting since the morning until now.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, there was still no trace of the rear army of the imperial court.

"Brother, maybe the imperial army doesn't have a rear army at all, it's the vanguard cavalry of this way!" Zhang Fei said.

"You're smart!" Guan Yu reprimanded in a low voice, "It's all cavalry, how to attack the city?" ”

Liu Bei sighed with a somewhat ugly face, "What Yide said may be right, maybe the imperial army really doesn't have a rear army." How far is this from Lanling to Fuyang? If the enemy has a rear army, it should arrive today. ”

Guan Yu had actually thought of this possibility a long time ago, he was just worried that Liu Bei would feel more uncomfortable, so he didn't say it.

But he didn't want to be the first to be said by Zhang Fei, who spoke but had a brain.

If the imperial army really has no rear army, then their 7,000 soldiers and horses will be considered in vain.

"Brother, it's not possible." Guan Yu forcibly said, "The Xiyuan army is the elite of the imperial court, how can the emperor be willing to let these soldiers and horses fight in the field while turning into foot soldiers to attack the city and seize the wall, impossible!" ”

"Perhaps, they have other schemes!" Liu Bei said slowly with a little thought in his eyes.

“你们不妨仔细想想，曹操的那一路兵马应该是在驻守开阳， 能把他们一路驱赶至此。 It must have been breached that the city had fallen into such a situation. And Cao Cao is a suspicious person by nature, and it is impossible to appoint reckless people to guard Kaiyang. ”

"At this moment, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses fled to Fuyang, and the Xiyuan Army also pursued and killed Fuyang, but they didn't see the soldiers and horses that attacked Kaiyang, why is this? Either lurk in the shadows, or ...... There is no such thing as a soldier at all. ”

Guan Yu's expression froze, "Brother means ......"

"I have some suspicions now, it wasn't Cao Cao's soldiers who fled into Fuyang City at all, but the emperor's soldiers!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Zhang Fei snorted, "It's a trick again?!" ”

"Not really." Liu Bei said, "The army is plotting, the second is the war, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. ”

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know at a glance!"

……

The night is sultry.

Although it is a twisted melon, it tastes really sweet.

Cao Ren didn't have the slightest reserve, if it weren't for the girl who called the red maple who couldn't stand it, he still wanted to score three times.

It's just that because of doubts about the identity of this girl, except for those verbs and mood words that are deep in love, Cao Ren and Hongfeng didn't communicate too much from beginning to end.

But afterwards, Hongfeng took the initiative to explain her origin to Cao Ren.

She was originally a daughter of the Qin family and made a living by making yarn for others.

After Zhang Min entered Fu Yang, he saw that she was a little beautiful, and he wanted to forcibly occupy her.

was dissuaded by Zhao Yu, a strategist sent by Tao Qian to oversee the army, and wanted Zhang Min to dedicate her to Tao Qian.

As soon as the matter was decided, Cao Ren came.

Zhao Yu suggested that Zhang Min recognize her as a righteous sister to win over Cao Ren, which led to the future.

As soon as Qin Hongfeng explained this, Cao Ren finally felt as if he had some reason, but the vigilance in his heart still did not relax.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that someone knocked on his door, and Cao Ren got up and said to Qin Hongfeng: "If you want to follow me, stay in the room obediently now, don't go anywhere, don't say anything to anyone, wait for me to come back." ”

Qin Hongfeng didn't know what Cao Ren was going to do, but this obedient woman didn't seem to know what to refuse, nodded obediently, and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

This sentence made Cao Ren's face have a smile, "I won't treat you badly." ”

Leaving these words, Cao Ren closed the door and took the horizontal knife handed by Feng Huan.

As the two walked out, Cao Ren asked, "How is it in the city?" ”

Feng Huan said: "All have been controlled, and General Zhang Ji is leading his army into the city. Zhang Min's subordinates inside and outside the government office have long been cleaned up by us, and now they are all our people. ”

"This man is still a little cautious, dealing with you, the general, while not forgetting the battle outside the city. There was also a strategist in a green shirt beside him, who seemed to have some means. When Zhang Min was away, it was this person who was in charge of the soldiers and horses, until the ugly time, they seemed to think that it should be impossible for General Zhang Ji to attack the city anymore, so they went back to the house to rest. ”

Cao Ren bowed, "Don't underestimate the enemy at any time, it's right, haven't alarmed Zhang Min yet?" ”

"Not yet, it's all at this hour, these Xuzhou troops who don't seem to have experienced much of the war can't bear it for a long time, and the war ends quickly. The humble post suffered a lot of losses in the West Garden, and he was overly cautious and delayed a lot of time. Feng Huan said.

If it weren't for his fear of meeting the kind of cattle that were sleeping and he might suddenly give you a knife when you walked over, the war would have ended at least half of the time sooner.

Cao Ren's serious eyes carried the killing intent of Sen Ran, and he walked into the government office with a knife.

Behind him, Feng Huan led a hundred and ten guards to follow closely.

……

Zhang Min was stunned by his sleep, and suddenly felt as if there was someone around him.

He thought it was the concubine who got up at night, so he muttered casually, "What time is it?" ”

"It's too late!" Someone said.

The voice is deep and powerful.

"Well, I'll sleep again, and I'll wake me up again at three moments, I heard that those thieves are used to night attacks, so I have to be a little more guarded." Zhang Min muttered casually, turned over and continued to sleep inside, but after a while, he suddenly seemed to be a little awake and asked, "Your voice...... What's wrong? ”

As he spoke, his hand had crept into the knife he had placed inside.

A cold horizontal knife suddenly rested on his neck, "Don't pretend, get up!" ”

Zhang Min was so frightened that his body stiffened and slowly sat up.

After he said that, he realized that it was not his concubine standing in the room.

"Brother Zixiao, aren't you in the cave room, why did you come to my room late at night? If there is something to sit down, we will put the wine and meat on the table and say slowly, why bother. Zhang Min saw that the person standing next to his bed was Cao Ren, and his face was suddenly full of smiles.

It's just that his naturally villainous appearance makes the smile look more like he is ready to threaten someone.

"I can't sit with you!" Cao Ren snorted coldly and asked, "My father Cao Song died at your hands?" ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is really a misunderstanding!" Zhang Min immediately shouted, "I also know that I can't do this, but I am soft-spoken, and I really can't persuade Tao Qian, he did it, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"If I don't have some proof, do you think I'll go to the trouble of coming to see you?" Cao Ren's already gloomy face instantly became gloomy and terrifying, "Why did you intercept and kill my father, and tell the truth!" ”

Feeling the blade on his neck that was suddenly close to him, Zhang Min hurriedly said, "I said, I said." ”
