Chapter 433 With a blood oath, can there be a spear here?
Ma Chao and Yang Qian are in the prison of the Di tribe, using their fingers as pens and the earth as their maps.
Yang Wan has mapped out in detail every important location in Xiafen City.
He said generously: "If there is really an internal response, then if you want to break the city, you need to defeat the Wei soldiers in the city, and you need to have outside support, this is a ruined boat!" β
"It's better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle..."Ma Chao frowned, "According to those tips, the Di people have already made a big fuss about the capture of you and me, if they can kill a few leaders, then the situation will be completely different!" β
Yang Qian gritted his teeth, "This Wudu County's Qiankun is thrown... Is it here? β
Ma Chao continued, "The way to win is not actually in the street battles in the city, the key lies in two points..."
Ma Chao showed a very different calmness from his past.
In the first half of his life, because of recklessness, because of impulsiveness, because he suffered too much because of the consequences of doing things, now he... It is a new transformation after experiencing many tragic events.
He calmly analyzed: "First, it is to cut off the source of the Wei army's weapons, as long as the Di people can control the arsenal, then the Wei army has more than 10,000 people, but they are assembled in a hurry, there are no weapons, so there is no need to worry!" β
"That's right!"
Ma Chao's words made Yang Wan's jaw stilt, and he hurriedly asked, "What else?" β
"Shoot a man before a horse, capture a thief and capture the king first." Ma Chao's eyes narrowed, "You need to capture that Cao Hong, once you capture him, the enemy army will collapse!" The capture of Xiafen City is also a certainty! β
"Yes..."Yang Wan bowed his head again, but... Here's the problem. "General, these... Do you know? Do they know? β
Yang couldn't help but fall into deep worry.
"Huh!" Ma Chao laughed lightly, "That Zhang Yide let me go to the next in advance, and since I am here, someone can contact me, then he must have already deployed these, although he doesn't want to admit it, but now it seems that Zhang Yide can recover Sanba in just two months and capture Zitong, he is indeed not simple!" β
This one...
mentioned that Zhang Fei was not simple, Yang Wan seemed to suddenly remember something, "I can hear rumors in the army that the reason why the strategy of the three generals is advancing day by day is due to a 'non-passing' military book?" β
Not...
When it came to the book of war, Ma Chao became curious, "What book of war?" β
"It seems to be called "God of War"!" Yang replied without thinking, "It is this military book called 'God of War' that makes the three generals come up with clever plans, thick and detailed... Even the Fazheng Military Division and Kong Ming Military Division are also praised and admired! Now the army can say that this book is miraculous, and it is enough to compare with the "Book of Taigong Soldiers" given by Huangshi Gong to Zhang Liang, and ... The source of this book of war seems to be..."
Yang Wan knocked on the door of his brain and told Ma Chao all the rumors in the army, "The source of this "God of War" seems to have been written by the rebel son of the Guan family in Jingzhou. β
Ma Chao subconsciously blurted out: "The Guan family is a rebel? Shiro of the second shogun? Guan Lin Guan Yunqi? β
Guan Lin, Ma Chao is no stranger.
In the past six months, Bashu... But if you can receive the good news of Jingzhou, it must be related to this Guan Lin.
And with the spread of this name, Ma Chao couldn't help but associate these together.
This Shiro Seki...
It can be said that it has been groaning for more than ten years, and then - if it doesn't sound, it will be a bang.
His strategy, his mental skills... has repeatedly made Dongwu and Cao Wei deflated, and has also created a stable situation in Jingxiang today.
- "Yide's art of war is improving day by day, if it is Guan Lin's book of war... It's really possible!"
Ma Chao couldn't help muttering in his heart...
That's when it happened.
"Pressed Shu in detailβ"
A fierce voice from the prison Chinese official came out.
For a while, Ma Chao and Yang Wan looked at each other, and the two of them became nervous.
Seemingly... It's getting dark.
Zhao Ang's interrogation of them is about to begin!
It's going to be torture, right?
This will also be the last darkness before the dawn, right?
β¦
β¦
In the barracks in the city, there were several rows of Di soldiers, who stood quietly here, their long knives nested in their hands.
When Lei Tong arrived, under the torches, a bright and dazzling light shone on everyone's faces.
For a moment, Lei Tong's eyes couldn't stand the stimulation of the firelight, and he closed his eyes slightly, looking at these soldiers with a jue gaze.
A soldier of the Di tribe stood on his sword and knelt down on one knee, "The patriarch of Lei Ding has orders, time is pressing, only five thousand soldiers have been gathered here, General Lei, please review it." β
Lei Tong's gaze slowly stared at those stoic and awe-inspiring faces one by one, and he was both shocked and moved.
Shockingly, he was just an outpost sent by Zhang Fei to investigate the intelligence here;
I never thought about it... But he was stunned that he was about to use it as the "main attack", and he was about to make a "throw" move to distinguish the city.
What touches me is that these oppressed Di people are finally ... All their forbearance completely exploded at this moment, which will turn into endless power and overthrow the rule of the anti-Wei.
Lei Tong sighed with emotion: "I am also a member of the Di tribe, I know you somewhat, some don't, but this battle... I am bound to your life and death... Life and death together. β
"If I win today, I will ask you for credit in front of the three generals and the emperor's uncle, from now on, we can live with dignity in this Wudu County, this city, if I lose, I will die before the kings!"
Everyone drew their swords in unison, but they didn't say a word...
"The rules of the Di clan, swear by bloodβ"
Lei Tong commanded...
Just as the Han people are allied by blood, the Di people also have unique rituals.
For a while, these Di soldiers swung their swords in unison, a cold glow like snow, and in an instant, the knife was bloody, and everyone slashed a small wound on their right arm, and blood flowed down.
Lei Tong also drew his sword, cut his arm, and smeared the blood on his lips with these people.
Only then did he open his mouth.
"-The target arsenal has broken the weapons of the Wei army!"
"No!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
For a time, under the leadership of the leaders of the various departments, an army of 5,000 people quickly slaughtered out of this Diren military camp.
On the other hand, Lei Tong, after seeing a group of Di people leaving, he found the leader of the Di people who had just replied.
He asked, "Aren't there 10,000 soldiers of the Di tribe in the city?" Why is it only five thousand, you tell me the truth-"
The chief did not dare to conceal it, but said truthfully: "The other five thousand have concerns, for fear ... The momentum is not successful! β
His words were a little stumbling, Lei Tong understood...
It was his personal prestige that was not enough to mobilize more people.
"Ugh..."
Lei Tong turned over and got on his horse, and while galloping the horse, he looked at the city gate, and he couldn't stop muttering in his heart.
- "Patriarch Lei Ding, you need to save General Ma Chao, his prestige... There are 5,000 more people who fought bloodily!'
The voice in Lei Tong's heart just resounded.
- "Gotta got..."
A horse's neighing was raised, accompanied by the sound of "click" horses' hooves, and the thunder copper galloping war horse had already kept up with the large army, taking the lead!
β¦
β¦
In the torture room, Ma Chao and Yang Wan's arms were hung from the beams of the room, and the clothes on their bodies were torn ragged by the leather whip, and blood stains oozed out.
But the whip still hasn't stopped.
Zhao Ang stared at Ma Chao with relief...
His fists clenched.
It's just that even if he was hung up, Ma Chaoyou shouted: "Haha, Zhao Ang? Is that what it can do? Are you tickling your dad? Push harder? Push harder! β
Clearly...
The sound of the whip "snapping" and the bloody body formed an extremely sharp contrast with Ma Chao's wanton laughing cheeks.
"Zhao Ang? You are far worse than your daughter-in-law, and if you work harder, you can't compare to a woman! β
Ma Chao's voice kept coming out.
Zhao Ang angrily took the whip from the torturer's hand and shouted angrily, "I'll come..."
"Smack-"
"Smack-"
The whip became heavier and heavier, but Ma Chao still shouted with a smile: "Are you tickling your father?" Scratch, scratch! β
Zhao Ang was helpless for a while, he felt for the first time that this Xiliang Jinma Chao was really resistant to beating!
"Put on the soldering iron..."
Zhao Ang commanded.
He and Ma Chao have no common enmity, and he can't be so arrogant.
At this moment, two new torturers took soldering irons from the pot, and they were supposed to stand next to Ma Chao and Yang Wan on the left and right, one for each person...
But Zhao Ang hated Ma Chao to the core, he pointed at Ma Chao and said: "Burn him, see that this traitor is still hard-mouthed?" β
"Hahaha..."Ma Chao was completely unafraid, "I heard that the 'widow order' issued by the anti-Wei Dynasty, if the anti-Wei man dies, he will collect his wife and distribute it to the soldiers... Hahaha, I want to know, Zhao Ang... What if one day you die? Will your lady who gave the 'Nine Tricks' also give it to the soldiers? β
"You're fart..."Zhao Ang looked directly at Ma Chao...
Ma Chao laughed heartily, "Oh, it doesn't seem to be... Because your wife will definitely be dedicated to the Cao thief, the good wife of the Cao thief, everyone knows it, Zhao Ang, Zhao Ang, you are going against Wei as a general, but you must spare your life, otherwise... Your lady... Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."
"Brandingβ"
Zhao Ang couldn't bear it, the whole person seemed to have fallen into madness, he pointed at Ma Chao's angry command, his pair of pupils, and all his attention was also imposed on Ma Chao's body.
The two scribes straightened their arms and swung their irons violently.
Under this scorching heat, Ma Chao and Yang Wan's eyes condensed, and their mood was almost extremely nervous.
Who would have thought...
Under the eyes of the two of them, the two soldering irons were not burned on their bodies, but... Directly towards Zhao Ang.
All of Zhao Ang's attention was on Ma Chao.
Anger almost made him lose his mind.
"Ahh
With a scream from Zhao Ang, he only felt a force that was hot enough to melt his body... It's sweeping through the body.
And then... The whole person seemed to have lost his strength.
And the skin on his chest is still slowly emitting green smoke because of the burning.
"Boom..."
At this moment, the door of the prison was pushed open, and countless swords quickly rested on Zhao Ang's head.
Lei Ding walked out of a group of soldiers of the Gandi tribe.
He first glanced at Zhao Ang, and then shifted his gaze to Ma Chao and Yang Wan, someone had already gone to untie the rope for Ma Chao.
And all this happened too fast, so fast that even if Ma Chao and Yang Qian were prepared, they still felt a little overwhelmed.
At this time, there was a "poof"...
The soldiers of the Gandi tribe led by Lei Ding all knelt down towards Ma Chao.
"I'm finally waiting for General Ma, General Lei Tong has taken the Di people to attack the arsenal first, and I and the soldiers of the Di clan are all outside the account, just waiting for General Ma to raise his arms and take me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, rebel against Wei, and make great contributionsββ"
This...
Ma Chao was horrified by the development of the situation.
Don't say it's Zhao Ang, it's these Wei soldiers, even he Ma Chao is a little caught off guard.
It's just that...
Listening to Lei Ding's words, Ma Chao could feel the urgency of the situation.
He didn't care about the pain on his body, he asked meticulously.
- "Is there a spear here?" β

β¦
On the watchtower of Cao Hong's mansion, two guards were barbecuing meat and drinking.
Cao Hong is greedy for money, and since he came to this Wudu, he has not accepted bribes from local officials.
Most officials have dreams, thinking that they have met Cao Wei's clan, or Cao Hong, who has saved Cao Cao twice, but they have caught up with this general Cao Hong... All are welcome.
That, it is indispensable to pay homage to gold, silver, jewelry, and silk and satin.
Cao Hong is tired, and he is also tired of accepting bribes all day long.
However, the subordinates in the mansion where Cao Hong temporarily lived also rose because of Cao Hong's status, and from time to time there would be some small "money" to bribe them, just to see Cao Hong.
No, there were two jars of good wine and a stack of fine venison in front of the two guards on the watchtower, and it was almost jaw-dropping.
"It's not interesting for the two of us to drink like this, why don't I call two familiar sisters? Lively and lively together? β
It's like, the word "lively, lively" is very evil and meaningful...
"Leaving the post without permission is a felony, if General Cao Hong blames it, it will be enough for you to drink a pot."
"What are you afraid of? General Cao Hong... I've been sleeping in that mountain of gold and silver for a long time, and I'm afraid that no one will wake him up... By the way, I'm afraid you don't know yet, in the grain collected this time, General Cao Hong has added an extra 100,000 hundred, and more than half of these future will be the general's, but there is still a little half, and we have to share it with our subordinates... With these grains, what sister, we can't afford to ride? β
"Hahahaha..."Hearing this, the other guard burst out laughing, and he lifted the wine bowl and was about to speak.
- "Following Cao Hong's huge greed, these soldiers are also crooked."
It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Hong's branch, the whole system... It's rotten from top to bottom!
Who would have thought, at this moment...
"That's... What is that? β
His voice suddenly groaned, and his tone trembled, and he immediately stood up, as did the guard beside him.
I saw smoke and dust billowing from the streets in the distance, several horses galloping, and nearly 5,000 Di soldiers then galloping, murderous.
And in the face of the Wei soldiers who took the initiative to ask.
Without hesitation, these people swung the swords in their hands, and in just an instant, they were disemboweled.
Now...
The two guards on the watchtower were dumbfounded.
With a "snap", the wine bowls in their hands fell together, and they shouted in panic: "Oh no, the Di people have rebelled... Rebellion! Go and report to General Cao Hong! β
β¦
At this moment, Cao Hong was lying in the vault in the mansion, and behind him was a golden wall, all made of gold.
The yellow armor on his body, which symbolizes the virtue of "earth", is reflected in the gold.
His son Cao Fu is also in this vault, and Cao Fu is very shocked... Who would have thought that my father was out of town... In such a short period of time, so much gold was harvested.
Sure enough, your Lao Tzu is still your Lao Tzu!
When it comes to collecting money, my father... That's amazing!
Terrifying β
Cao Fu sighed in his heart...
Cao Hong is still teaching his son, "Fu'er, do you say that your father's life is considered a success?" β
"Naturally..."
"Not counting!" Cao Hong waved his hand quite shyly, "At least in terms of generals, my father is not successful enough, compared to your Uncle Xiaoxiao and your Miaocai Uncle, at most it is better than your Uncle Yuanrang... But do you know why, even King Wei wants to look up at me? β
"Why?" Cao Fu hurriedly asked.
Cao Hong replied with a smile: "Because I saved his life, twice-"
Cao Hong focused on mentioning "twice", his expression was even more soothing, "The first time was in Xingyang, my eldest brother and I fell into the ambush of Xu Rong, and the eldest brother lost all the mounts, it was I who jumped off the horse and gave the mount to the eldest brother, I said at that time..."
Without waiting for Cao Hong to open his mouth, Cao Fu said in advance: "My father said at that time, 'There can be no flood in the world, and there can be no justice'..."
This is the one hundred and twenty-seventh time Cao Hong has talked about his highlight moment.
Cao Fu can recite it, and his ears are calloused.
But Cao Hong is still talking, "That's right, that's right, that's it, there is no flood in the world, no justice... So, your father loves money, and he has been greedy a lot over the years, and he has embezzled a lot, and he has also resold arms, in short... Your father has done everything that can make a living, but... Big brother can only turn a blind eye to me! Why is that? β
Cao Hong threw out questions, and answered himself comfortably.
"This is because when my eldest brother thinks of punishing me, he will think of the sentence 'There is no flood in the world, no justice', hahahaha... Wu'er, Dad told you, Dad Mo said that he was greedy for money, but no matter how bad he was, no one in the world could hurt your father's hair, hahaha... It's not that my father is boasting, our Dawei just fell a copper plate from the sky, and more than half of it must be our family! β
Cao Hong is upright.
"Newspaper..."
One of the guards ran out of breath and rushed over and shouted, "General Cao, it's not good, the Di tribe has rebelled... The soldiers and horses of the Di tribe are slaughtering the arsenal! β
Cao Hong was taken aback, and he first glanced around at the gold, silver, and jewelry in the vault.
Then, after going through a complex brain circuit, he jumped up, "Di clan? How could it be a mutiny? What about Yang Fu? Didn't General Ben let that Yang Fu stare at? β
Cao Hong couldn't care about the gold and silver anymore, he quickly followed the soldiers up to the watchtower, but saw the soldiers and horses of the Di tribe passing in front of his mansion...
They didn't stop, they went straight to the direction of the arsenal to kill.
Cao Hong was stunned, and he became incoherent, "Thunder... Lei Ding... This thief has betrayed, this thief has betrayed meβ"
He shouted angrily: "Kill them all, I will rush out to kill, we must not let them seize the arsenal!" β
The arsenal is stocked with weapons and armor from the entire city.
Most of the Wei troops had to remove these armor and weapons when changing their guards, and then go to rest.
That is, the loss of arsenals ...
The entire Xia Cheng will have no more than thirty percent of the Wei soldiers who can fight.
And the soldiers of the Di tribe can quickly complete all the armaments!
This... It's the last moment!
With Cao Hong's shouting, he took the rare lead and killed him with a group of guards, and his son Cao Fu hurriedly caught up with him, "Dad? Don't you like to command troops and fight? β
"That's also when it comes to scoring." Cao Hong's eyes were shining, and he sighed: "If the city is gone, your father will be busy in vain in the past few months." β
