Blood covered the sky.

Among the streets and alleys of Wancheng.

"Quack—quack—" The hoarse cries of crows rang out in the sky, and more and more crows began to hover over the city.

It seems that the unilateral slaughter in the city, the splashing of blood, made them smell the smell of food, and they kept screaming "quack", and they were excited.

Cao Zhi is fleeing in an alley.

Just now, he and the large army were separated as they marched towards the north gate.

After Guan Yu's pursuers, there were 7,000 defenders of Wancheng in front of them, and there was a fight everywhere, and the team was easily scattered.

Now, Cao Zhi has no guards around him, his guards have all fallen, and he staggered forward alone.

"Kill..."

"Catch him."

"That's the son of the traitor Cao Cao..."

More than a dozen defenders of Wancheng were in hot pursuit behind Cao Zhi.

"Whoosh-"

An arrow hit Cao Zhi's right shoulder, blood gushed out, Cao Zhi snorted, he listened to the hurried footsteps not far away, his heart was crossed, he broke the arrow with force, covered the wound and staggered to the mouth of the alley.

"Daddy... Father... Examine... Sister Zhen..."

In a trance, Cao Zhi felt a dark silence in front of him, as if he was running wildly with all his strength and finally fell into a dead end... It's a desperate situation.

He was exhausted, and the dizziness caused by the blood loss from the wound made it impossible for him to see the road ahead.

Seems... The only people in front of him were the ones he was thinking about.

"Daddy... My son is sorry..."

"Sister Zhen, I... I'm afraid I can't protect you anymore. ”

As he struggled forward, Cao Zhi muttered as he was about to fall, and just as he was about to fall, he felt that he was being grabbed by a big hand, and then pulled into the alley on one side.

Immediately after, the world swirled, and Cao Zhi saw clearly the person who pulled him over.

Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, nose like a peak, well-defined, but the corners of the lips are tense, and a pair of eyes are trembling... Trembling terribly.

It's Li Cong!

"Lee... Mr. Li..."Cao Zhi swallowed his saliva, and the appearance of Li Zhi made him feel incredible.

It seems that all of a sudden, the whole person's heart is settled.

"Shhh

It was only then that he asked Cao Zhi, "Zijian Gongzi, can you make it easy for me to find it-"

Li Yan's tone was extremely hurried.

This is an accident, according to the mission codenamed "9527", Li Liang wants to save Xiahoudun, but... Undoubtedly, in his entire big plan, Cao Zhi is the most important part.

No one is missing—

"I..." Cao Zhi wanted to open his mouth, but Li Cong seemed to hear something, covered his mouth, and a low "shhh" voice came out.

The whole place fell silent.

Soon, a voice came from the entrance of the alley.

"General Guan, this is it-"

It was a Wancheng guard wearing an orange turban who led Guan Yu here, "Just now we were chasing Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhi, he fled into this alley, and he has been hit by an arrow, and the blood stains are still there." ”

The soldier pointed to the blood at the mouth of the alley...

Only a "bang" was heard, and the handle of the Qinglong Knife collided with the ground and made a deep sound.

Then, "Gotta got..." was the neighing of the red rabbit horse, and then Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, and he looked around the entrance of the alley, which was a broken alley.

He looked around carefully, and saw that there was indeed a little blood at the mouth of the alley, but... The bloodstain only stayed at the mouth of the alley, as if it did not continue deeper.

Guan Yu immediately ordered.

"Search—"

At this moment, dozens of soldiers all rushed forward, pouring into the mouth of the alley, and people entered every corner, and even every house.

However, these sergeants are quite particular, and if they see someone in the house, they will remind: "Don't be afraid, we are just searching, if there is no harboring thief, we will withdraw immediately, and Qiu will not commit any crime!" ”

Because of these soldiers, it is the tone of the villagers, and the people in the houses at the entrance of the alley also tried their best to cooperate, and opened the wardrobes one after another, so that these soldiers could see the truth.

"General Guan, this side has been searched, no..."

"General Guan, there is no one in the house..."

In the entire alley, Cao Zhi was not found at all.

At this time, the Wancheng soldier who had just led Guan Yu here knocked on the door of his head and said suspiciously: "But... I saw him go this way, and I shot that arrow..."

Without waiting for the Wancheng soldiers to speak, Guan Yu caught some clues, and he pointed to the thatched pile where Li Cong and Cao Zhi were hiding at the entrance of the alley: "You haven't searched there yet, have you?" ”

"Yes..."

With the soldier's response, Guan Yu personally walked towards the thatched pile step by step.

At this moment, Li Cong and Cao Zhi's hearts both rose to their throats...

Gradually, through the thatch... They could already see that the green dragon knife was moving the thatched perimeter.

Seeing that the two are about to be exposed.

"General Guan..." At this time, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, a crisp voice came, it was Hou Yin.

Guan Yu knew Hou Yin, Hou Yin brought 20,000 soldiers from Nanyang to surrender to Yunqi, and when he came to Jiangling before, he also specially visited Guan Yu.

Because both of them like to read "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period", Guan Yu's evaluation of him is not low.

Seeing Hou Yin at this moment, Guan Yu withdrew the Qinglong Knife and looked at him, "General Hou Yin can be said to have made great contributions to breaking the city this time!" ”

"Don't dare to be..."Hou Yin deliberately took a few steps closer to Guan Yu, and when he bowed, his mouth flashed from Guan Yu's ears, as if something came out of his words.

It was also at that moment that Guan Yu's eyes froze, and he subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at the thatch, but because he thought of something, he kept his original posture and still turned his back to the thatch.

Hou Yin's voice continued, "Now that the city is broken, the famous clan elders and celebrities in Wancheng are waiting for the second general in the official office with seals and household registers... Leave this matter of arresting the remnants of the Wei army to us! ”

As he spoke, Hou Yin's eyes revealed more meaning.

Guan Yu shook his head, but the moment he shook his head, his Qinglong knife slammed into the thatched pile.

The blade of the Sen Ran thrust through the gap between Li Lian's and Cao Zhi's heads, just avoiding the two of them.

This knife not only scared Cao Zhi, but also made Li Zhi's eyes widen, and his heart even raised his throat!

At this time, Guan Yu slowly retracted the knife:

"Then there will be General Laohou here."

As he spoke, a guard had already brought the horses, Guan Yu turned over and got on the horse, did not forget to look back at the thatched pile for the last time, and walked away.

After Guan Yu left, Hou Yin asked, "Have you searched all here?" ”

"Searched..."

Because of Guan Yu's sudden stab, no one will doubt this thatch anymore.

At this time, Hou Yin seemed to notice the alley in front of him, "There are thieves there, chase quickly-"

For a moment, the group galloped forward again.

…

"Ahem..."

"Ahem..."

After all the footsteps were extinguished, Li Yan pushed the thatch away, his face was especially pale, and he gasped for a long time.

But the face is even more vicissitudes of life is Cao Zhi.

He's been coughing dryly.

Yes... For a moment, he really felt as if he had already died once, under the Blue Dragon Knife.

"Well... It's dangerous! ”

"Zijian..."Li Yan tried to calm down, and he continued to hold Cao Zhi, "Can you still move?" Not to stay here for long? ”

"Can... Can..."Cao Zhi looked at Li Cong, and his vicissitudes and nervousness seemed to have subsided a little, as if as long as this Mr. Li was there, he would always have hope... There is always hope.

Li Yan took another deep breath, "Let's go... I'll help you, get out of here first! The brethren are waiting for us at the North Gate..."

While speaking, Li Lian and Cao Zhi walked forward quickly.

Although Cao Zhi's shoulder is still painful, but... At this time, I can't take care of that much!

To live or to die?

It's up to you!

…

…

Guan Yu, who left the alley, did not go to the government office.

In fact, there are no clan elders who send seals and household scarves at all.

is still fighting, the people of Wancheng are not so impatient, these are all made up by Hou Yin.

At this moment, Guan Yu was standing on an eaves, and after a while, Hou Yin also went up to this eaves, and from here, Cao Zhi and Li Li's whereabouts were unobstructed.

It's no exaggeration to say that at this moment... If Guan Yu wanted to arrest these two people, he only needed an order.

It seems that this conversation is quite special.

So... Guan Yuping retreated from everyone, leaving only Hou Yin.

"Why did you let them go?"

At this time, Guan Yu asked Hou Yin beside him.

Hou Yin paused for a moment, but looked around reflexively to make sure that there were no eyes around, and then said truthfully: "This is what the fourth prince ordered, among the enemies... The person who can say the code '9527' is his person and his own person! ”

- "Hmm... The people of the Cloud Banner?'

Guan Yu sighed secretly in his heart, and then Danfeng's eyes narrowed, as if he was slightly contemplative, and after thinking for a while, he sighed: "I heard you say that he is a famous man in Shu, who was in Jiangling City before, and now betrays Li Lian, who is against Wei?" Right? ”

Guan Yu is no stranger to this guy.

Extremely arrogant, open-mouthed, at the celebration banquet of the eldest brother's conquest of Chengdu, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang begging for mercy for him, Bao Buqi would have died in Shu.

When I came to Jingzhou, I was not at ease, and I fought against Yunqi everywhere, and finally I was stripped of my clothes by Yunqi, tied to the city gate, and paraded through the streets... Heavily suppressed the madness in his body;

And later... This Li Cong secretly went north to vote for Cao Cao, but he never thought that he did not have the footsteps of Bu Youheng, and he was quite reused by Cao Cao.

These Guan Yu know, but he still can't accept it, Li Liang is a person from Yunqi!

"Nine-five-two-seven? How did he tell you about it? Guan Yu asked.

Hou Yin frowned slightly.

He couldn't help but think back to half an hour ago.

His subordinates captured this Li Lian, and it seemed that this Li Lian was contacting the Wei cavalry scattered everywhere, so that they could join forces and break through together.

It stands to reason that if such a person is caught, there is no need to send it to Hou Yin at all, just kill it directly.

But on the contrary, there are a few big characters written in blood on this Li Yan's shirt - ninety-five-two-seven!

As if I'm afraid that others won't be able to see it... When you are caught, you point directly at these numbers.

As the defender of Wancheng, Hou Yin has explained this number.

So, this subordinate didn't dare to slack off, so he brought it to Hou Yin.

When I asked this, I found out... Yunqi Gongzi also played such a chess piece in Cao Weibu.

At this moment, Hou Yin told Guan Yu about these details.

Guan Yu only felt a burst of enlightenment, even if he gave him three heads, he would not have thought that at the beginning... The madman who opposes the Cloud Banner everywhere has always been a Cloud Banner person!

So... Is it possible to understand it in this way?

As Li Wei's status in the reverse Wei became higher and higher, and as his power became greater and greater, the more opportunities and possibilities there were for the reverse Wei to be overthrown.

Reverse overturning –

"Goo-dong..."

Thinking about this, Guan Yu couldn't help but swallow a deep mouthful of saliva, as if he saw a net laid by Yunqi against Wei and in the north.

The entire Cao Wei clan, civil and military, were all trapped in this net, unaware of it.

Call...

There was another long exhalation, and Guan Yu said in a deep voice in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"This kid... How many surprises are still hidden? ”

Hou Yin didn't hear this voice clearly, and hurriedly asked, "What did the second general just say?" ”

"Oh..."Guan Yu groaned for a moment, reining in his somewhat surprised, even surprised, frightened mood because of Guan Lin.

He asked softly: "In this way, the code name of 9527 is to let Li Mian escape from Wancheng with these soldiers and horses of the Wei army?" ”

"No," Hou Yin explained, "Mr. Li and I have specially discussed, which means that the protection of the North City Gate... Their breakthrough, let's leave half of it, and let half of it go... It's a bit more realistic, but... What Mr. Li meant by Cao Zhi and Xiahoudun was that they had to be let go, which would be of great benefit to Mr. Li to continue to infiltrate the anti-Wei court. ”

Not...

Guan Yu was stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Xiahoudun is not dead?" Even he will be let go. ”

From Hou Yin's words, Guan Yu captured a detail.

Xiahoudun is not dead!

As Cao Wei's general, Guan Yu subconsciously wanted to keep him.

Killing the general Xiahoudun who rebelled against Wei was a major event that shocked the thirteen states of the world!

"Xiahoudun has become blind Houdun, a blind general... What is the threat? Hou Yin explained meaningfully: "Yunqi Gongzi and Mr. Li are still smart, let him go back than catch him... There are greater benefits. ”

This...

Guan Yu still wanted to open his mouth, but he thought that this was the deployment of the cloud flag, and that Li Liang was a friend and not an enemy and was behind enemy lines, full of dangers, like walking on thin ice...

Immediately, he swallowed back everything he wanted to say.

He stroked his long hair and sighed in his heart.

- "My father only saw the battle of Wancheng, but Yunqi still saw it farther!" Hehe, it's cheap, this blind marquis!"

Suddenly...

Guan Yu thought of something again, and he asked Hou Yin again.

"What's next? If our army didn't have pursuers, wouldn't it..."

Without waiting for Guan Yu to finish speaking, Hou Yin solemnly told Guan Yu: "If you chase the soldiers, it is another plan, this operation codenamed '9527', in fact... It's just getting started—"

From Hou Yin's pretended mysterious words, Guan Yu could detect that Yunqi had also laid out a bigger plan.

What Guan Yu can feel even more is that his son's big net is bound to be spread out bigger and more meticulous from this moment on.

This is within the Northern Territory against Wei - the undercurrent is surging!

…

…

"General, you can't wait!"

It is only an alley away from the North City Gate, and nearly 2,000 Wei soldiers gathered here.

Many of them met Li Lian and were told to assemble here and break out together.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of Li Lian gave these Wei troops who were fighting separately great confidence, and they saw the hope of being able to kill again.

Now that they had gathered 2,000 soldiers, they could try to break out of the gates.

But... The problem is that Li Lian and Cao Zhi have not yet been found.

"General, if you wait any longer, if Guan Yu arrives, I'm afraid we... No one will be able to get out of the gates. ”

A soldier reminded Xiahoudun.

Now Xiahoudun's arrow wound has been treated simply, at this time, he didn't dare to pull out the arrow, and the arrow was only broken in half.

Don't look at Xiahoudun's age, but his body is still strong, he endured the pain and sat up, but his body couldn't stop trembling.

Even if you are sitting, you need two people to support you.

Can...

Here, in addition to him Xiahoudun, where does the Wei army have the backbone?

He's the only general here!

There was still a steady stream of Wei troops gathered here, and the team was getting bigger and bigger, and most of them met Li Cong and were guided to this direction by Li Cong.

Seeing Xiahoudun, even if he was blind, these new soldiers seemed to have lifted their spirits all of a sudden, and aroused the already depressed fighting spirit!

"General... Again..."

The word "wait" has not yet been uttered, "enough...", Xiahoudun said these two words coldly, his fists clenched, as if he was making a final struggle in his heart.

At this time, a soldier of the clan opened his mouth: "If there is no Mr. Li, how can we get here?" And how to break through? ”

When his words came out, they immediately caused countless resonances, "Although Mr. Li is not a member of my Great Wei clan, he is trying to save us... Dare to go deep into the battlefield again, dare to go alone to find Zijian Gongzi, we... How can we leave him behind? ”

"yes... If you forsake him, then... Then we, the clansmen, are we still people? ”

Truly.

The whole thing happened so fast and so fast that everyone was stunned and stupid.

In this case, Li Li is undoubtedly the one who comes to his senses the fastest, if he hadn't given the order to retreat for Cao Zhi, I'm afraid that there would be a river of blood in this city now.

In this situation, how could they give up Li Cong?

Besides, the son Cao Zhi has not returned yet, how can they explain to Prime Minister Cao Cheng?

At this moment, Xiahou's heart was like a knife, now he already knew that his son was dead, he should have been sad, he should have shed tears in pain, but the current situation...

There is no chance of tears at all!

Fortunately, Li Cong, a young man, under such a chaotic situation, his deployment, his courage, his unhesitation, and his loyal man have made... Xiahoudun was infinitely moved in his heart, and he was also infinitely moved...

This is a national soldier!

It's a great talent that can be used!

But now, breakout? Or keep waiting... He... He had to make a difficult decision.

That's when ...

The sound of "stampeding" sounded, and the sound of the footsteps was sparse, as if there were only two people, just... Wei Jun, who was in the wind, became nervous one by one even when he heard such footsteps.

Finally, when the footsteps became louder and louder, the soldiers saw it clearly.

- It's Li Cong...

Li Cong carried Cao Zhi out of the alley, Li Cong was covered in blood, but he gritted his teeth and walked forward with difficulty.

And Cao Zhi was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder... It was as if half of his body was under the weight of Li Ming's body.

Here it comes...

It's finally here!

"Mr. Li is back..."

"Mr. Li has brought Zijian back!"

As soon as Wei Jun cried with joy, he almost raised his arms and shouted the name of "Mr. Li".

"Old General Xiahou, I..." After Li Lian handed over Cao Zhi to a sergeant, he saw Xiahou Xuan who was sitting, and hurriedly stepped forward and walked to his side, even if Xiahou Xuan couldn't see it, Li Mian still bowed his hand, and then said solemnly: "Old general, I, Li Cong, have fulfilled my mission and brought back these soldiers from Zijian Gongzi——"

Li Li's voice was not loud, because he was weak, and he was extremely hoarse...

But in this situation, this sentence made Wei Jun's heart burn!

It also made Xiahoudun's dry state of mind glow with new strength again.

He stood up with the support of two soldiers: "Mr. Li, the old man is blind, the old man's son died on the city tower again, Zijian is also hit by an arrow now, and now the old man can only entrust me, Zijian, and the lives of these Wei soldiers to you——"

Xiahoudun held Li Li's hand heavily, and even handed the talisman on his waist into his hand, Xiahoudun's words were hoarse, but he was serious: "You are brave and strategic, witty and resolute, from now on, my Xiahoudun's soldiers are your soldiers, and we are all at your disposal now... But you... You've got to get us out! ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Li was shocked, and he looked at the talisman in his hand incredulously.

Almost as soon as Xiahoudun's voice fell, all the soldiers of the Wei army bowed their hands to Li Cong: "Mr. Li, but there is a trend, I will wait to go to the soup and the fire, and I will not give up——"

"Mr. Li, there is no room for it, give an order quickly-"

This...

Li Yan subconsciously groaned, as if in an instant, his heart was in chaos, a mess!

- "Go... Do you want to go to the soup? Are these Wei soldiers going to the soup to fight against me?"

With such a sentence in his heart, he found that the talisman in his hand was so real and so heavy.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have gained the deep trust of Xiahoudun, and even these soldiers of the Cao Wei clan!

- "Is this the operation codenamed '9527'?"

- "This is the action formulated by the son of Yunqi, the action codenamed '9527'!" As long as you get out alive, then..."

Suddenly.

Li Yan seemed to see a piece of light that belonged to him outside the north city gate!

…
