Cao Cao stroked his beard, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Ren is the general of my department, and he wants to go to the front line with me to arrange the battle line, and Cao Ren can't lend it to you." ”

"Feng Xiao is a military advisor with the army, and he can't lend it to you. Cao Hong can lend you a few days, and Xu Chu can also lend you a few days. ”

"As for the tiger and leopard ride, I will lend you two thousand leopard rides, but at most, I can only borrow you for half a month, and after half a month, Cao Hong will lead two thousand leopard rides back."

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry This is the elite cavalry under Cao Cao, with a total of only 5,000, led by Cao Hong.

Tiger and leopard cavalry are also divided into two types: tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry, 3,000 tiger cavalry are heavy cavalry, and 2,000 leopard cavalry are light cavalry.

After Cao Cao said this, it was basically a certainty.

It is impossible for such a big prime minister of Cao Cao's family to really bargain like a small vendor in the vegetable market.

Su Ming thought about it, Qin Qi's five thousand soldiers and horses were responsible for cutting off the ferry and preventing Huang Zu's army from going ashore.

He led two thousand leopard horsemen to rush to the camp of Huang Zu, and a thief captured the king first.

Well, now there's another question.

How to open the gate of Xiling is a key.

Although the leopard cavalry is an elite cavalry, they are not good at siege cities.

Qin Qi's 5,000 recruits couldn't fight siege warfare.

If the hard ones can't work, then you can only come with the soft ones.

You have to find a way to buy off Huang Zu's henchmen, open the city gate at a critical moment, and let them into the city.

After having a rough plan in mind, Su Ming said to Cao Cao: "I still need ten thousand taels of gold, I have to find a way to open the city gate." ”

After Cao Cao groaned slightly, he felt that ten thousand taels of gold were nothing.

"Okay, I'll give it to you!" Cao Cao agreed.

......

......

Jiangxia County.

Xiling County.

In a house.

Cao Hong and Qin Qi led the army to Jiangxia, while Su Ming had already led Xu Chu, Sun Shangxiang, and more than a dozen henchmen to quietly infiltrate Xiling County.

This mansion was bought by Su Ming just yesterday and used as a base for their operations.

"General Su, everything has been inquired clearly."

"The naval army at Xiling Ferry is led by Huang Zu's son Huang Shu, and his subordinates include Jinfan thief Gan Ning and Su Fei. The four city gates of Xiling are guarded by Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, Chen Ju, and Deng Long. The scout in charge of finding out the news reported to Su Mingyu.

The Xiling ferry port was outside the city, and Su Ming's plan was for Xu Chu and Qin Qi to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to form a phalanx to occupy the ferry by surprise.

As long as the ferry is occupied, the Huang Zu's naval army will not be able to go ashore, and when the time comes, he will capture the thief and capture the king first, and after solving the Huang Zu in Xiling City, he will turn his hand and pay these naval armies.

The crux of the problem now lies in how to attack Xiling City.

As long as you can enter the city, with your own force and two thousand leopard horses, it is enough to complete the task of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.

Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, Chen Zuo, and Deng Long are the four city gate guards, who are responsible for guarding the four city gates.

Su Ming carefully looked at the information about the four city gate guards in his hand.

Zhang Hu, there is no hobby. Every day is the barracks, and there are two points and one line at home. He has a wife and a son.

Chen Sheng, Chen is a brother, they are young, and they have a good relationship with Huang Zu's son Huang Zhu. It doesn't seem to be easy to buy.

Deng Long is a veteran, has no wife, and wanders around the city brothels all day long, coveting women.

"Brother Su Ming, who to start with?" Xu Chu stretched out his head and asked Su Ming.

Chen Sheng, Chen can be ruled out by these two brothers first, they are young and have no worries, and they may not be able to be tempted by wealth.

Moreover, this kind of young man is just the time when his blood is strong, it is easy to get hot-headed, and the fish is dead, and it is not easy to threaten.

Zhang Hu's weakness should be his wife and son.

As for Deng Long, he can be tempted with women.

After thinking about it, Su Ming decided to start with Zhang Hu.

Female sex is just a temptation, and Deng Long may not cooperate with him for the sake of female sex.

And Zhang Hu is different, his wife and children are fatal handles.

tied up his wife and children, not afraid that he would not cooperate.

Although, this means is a bit dirty.

However, Su Ming only had this one chance, and he couldn't take risks, so he could only make this decision.

History will only remember the winners.

And you won't remember how you achieved victory.

......

......

Su Ming ordered Cao Hong, Qin Qi and the two of them to lead the army to go out day and night, and soon lurked on the mountain more than ten miles outside Xiling City.

As long as you don't take the official road stupidly, don't say that there are thousands of people and horses hidden on the mountain, even if you hide 35,000 soldiers and horses, you won't be discovered.

Now, the soldiers and horses have lurked near Xiling City, and everything is ready, only the people who open the city gate are owed.

At this time, Su Ming was also ready to make a move on Zhang Hu.

In the evening, Zhang Hu went down from the north city gate.

"General Zhang, do you want to go and have a drink together?" The lieutenant general greeted Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu showed an honest smile on his face, rejected the kindness of his colleagues, and said, "No, your sister-in-law has cooked a meal at home and is waiting for me to go back!" ”

These people also know that Zhang Hu has no bad habits.

Don't drink, don't gamble, don't go to the kiln, and always go home as soon as possible after the end of the day.

Therefore, after Zhang Hu refused the invitation, they also left.

In the middle of the city, in a small courtyard.

"Squeak." Zhang Hu pushed open the door and shouted into the house, "Madam, I'm back." ”

However, when Zhang Hu pushed open the door of the back room, he saw a stranger sitting in his house, drinking wine and eating vegetables.

Zhang Hu is very familiar with the dishes on this table, they are all his favorite food, and they are made by his wife.

When I returned home, I didn't see my wife and children, but I saw a few strangers.

Zhang Hu pulled out the sword at his waist with a "bang", pointed at Su Ming and scolded: "Who are you?" ”

Su Ming picked up the chopsticks and held the dish, dipped the wine with his other hand, and wrote the word "Cao" on the table.

"Cao Cao's people?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hu looked at Su Ming with a cold face.

"Smack!"

"Smack!" Su Ming sped up and chewed a few bites, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said to Zhang Hu: "It's not interesting, the prime minister of Jiangxia has taken a fancy to it." ”

"Tonight, please open the gates."

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Hu's face immediately darkened, and he thought to himself, this is to make me a traitor and sacrifice the city gate!

"Impossible!" Zhang Hu didn't think about it, and sternly refused.

"Smack! Syllable! Su Ming clapped his hands, and someone next to him immediately brought two large boxes, Su Ming waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to open the box.

When the box was opened, one of the two boxes was full of gold cakes, and the other was empty.

Su Ming took a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth, and then slowly said, "If you agree, the three thousand taels of gold will be yours." ”

"If you don't agree, another box will be used to hold the heads of your family of three. I promise, let your family of three walk neatly. ”
