Chapter 25 Zhao Botao captured Cao Wenlie alive

The next day, everyone gathered in Guan Yu's account early in the morning. After learning about the situation from Liu Pi and Gong Du himself yesterday, Zhao Feng was sure that Du Yuan did not know that they had defected to Liu Bei, so he could let the two sneak into the city to attack them unprepared. Of course, the two of them alone are not enough. At that time, at least hundreds of people will be brought with them. It is said that they were attacked by Guan Yu and Runan was forced to come to Du Yuan, and Du Yuan would not be doubtful.

At this time, Zhao Feng saw that everyone had almost arrived. He immediately said to Guan Yu, "Second General, I think it's better for Liu and Gong to go to the fraudulent city at night, so that we can go down in a drum. It's easy for so many of us to be exposed in the daytime."

"That's right, let's continue to attack the city during the day today." Guan Yu thought it was reasonable, but obviously he couldn't wait during the day. At present, it seems that there is nothing else to do except to attack the city.

At this time, Hao Meng took the initiative to ask, "Second General, I, Hao Meng, have not made any contributions since I defected to the Lord. Du Yuan is now afraid of the second general Hu Wei and dare not go to war. Why don't I call for a challenge? Maybe this guy will go to war. When I cut him with one knife, won't everything be fine?" If you want to say that Hao Meng is indeed a little anxious, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, the generals guarding Guangling, are very trusted by Liu Bei. Song Xian and Wei Xu also made contributions to raid Lei Bu with Zhao Feng last time, and now even Hou Cheng has just pacifies Xiangcheng. Although it was just an empty city, which was equivalent to the credit for nothing, at least it won a county. Among the people who went on several expeditions, he was the only one who had not made contributions yet. Hao Meng was really anxious.

"Huh?" Guan Yu looked at Hao Meng and guessed his martial arts skills. According to Liao Hua, Du Yuan's martial arts are worse than his, and Hao Meng's martial arts and Liao Hua are only between Bo Zhong. If Du Yuan really dares to fight, maybe Hao Meng can really bring some surprises.

"General Hao, Du Yuan is extremely timid. I'm afraid he won't fight anything." Liao Hua shook his head with a wry smile, but Hao Meng didn't think so and said, "No matter what, you have to try it. Even if we shouldn't fight, let's just attack the city again."

"Well, General Hao is not only going to fight, but he must be careful." Guan Yu made a deal like this. Zhao Feng looked at Hao Meng, who was in the war. After thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

In Qiaojun City, "General, the enemy general Hao Meng is fighting under the city!" A sentry reported to Du Yuan. Hao Meng?" ? Du Yuan was also stunned when he heard that it was his challenge. Cao Xiu, who was beside him, heard that it was Hao Meng and quickly asked, "But Hao Meng, one of Lv Bu's eight generals in the past?"

"Exactly!" The sentry replied honestly.

"In this case, wait for me to fight and kill this man with a strong momentum." Cao Xiu waved his hand and ordered the guards to prepare weapons and armor. Du Yuan was still a little worried: "Major General, Hao Meng is a general of Lv Bu. He must be proficient in martial arts. The major general needs to be careful."

"Du Taishou, don't worry, although Hao Meng has never fought with him in Puyang, he has not been able to go through 30 rounds under my uncle Cao Ren. I think I'm still better than him." Cao Xiu naturally knew that Du Yuan was not really worried about himself, but it still reassured him.

"That's good!" Du Yuan was also relieved, and then went to the top of the wall to plunder Cao Xiu.

But he said that Hao Meng challenged the scolding array under the city. Not much did he see the city gate creak open, and he was immediately overjoyed. But at first sight, it was a young general who went out. It didn't seem to be Du Yuan. He suddenly muttered a little in his heart. It's better to ask clearly first.

"Who will come? But Du Yuan?" Hao Meng shouted loudly when the other party came close.

"Cao Xiu and Cao Wenlie, Hao Meng, die!" After Cao Xiu reported his name, he didn't want to say much. He directly patted the horse and danced his gun to fight. Hao Meng was furious and waved his knife to fight together. After only five or six rounds of competition, Hao Meng was shocked: Cao Xiu looks like he is only in his twenties. Why is his martial arts so good? He seems to be a little better than himself. Thinking like this in my heart, my hand's kung fu is even more discounted. Finally, after more than 30 rounds of battle, he was shot in the left shoulder by Cao Xiu. If it hadn't been slow to dodge, he would have hit his chest.

"The wind is tight, bullshit!" Hao Meng was originally a green forest thief. This loss was so anxious that he shouted out all the lings of the past, and he even ran back desperately on the horse. Cao Xiu didn't chase him, but laughed loudly immediately and said, "You dare to call for such martial arts. There is really no one in Xuzhou!" Seeing Cao Xiu's victory, the defenders in the city were even more happy to beat the drums.

"Huh?" Guan Yu couldn't help but be surprised to see Hao Meng return with injuries in the military tent. The last general is incompetent and can't defeat Cao Xiu. Please ask the second general to be punished. Hao Meng covered the wound with a shy face.

"Wriage and defeat are common things for soldiers. What, General Hao, didn't you lose in Du Yuan's hands?" After listening to Hao Meng's words, Guan Yu also understood a little.

"Exactly, the last general lost to Cao Xiu." Hao Meng replied. .

"Who is Cao Xiu?" Guan Yu asked everyone in the tent. Zhao Feng was about to open his mouth. Li Yan, who was beside him, answered first, "Cao Xiu is the nephew of the Cao Yan clan. Although he is only more than 20 years old, he is skilled in martial arts and knows the art of war, but he doesn't know why he is not in Xuchang, but in Qiao County." Not to mention that he didn't know, even Zhao Feng, a prophetic traveler, never expected that Cao Xiu would stay here because of recuperation.

"Well, the smelly child, wait for me to kill him." After listening to Li Yan's introduction, Guan Yu couldn't help it. The second general is angry. I don't need the second general to come out, and wait for me to capture him alive. However, Zhao Feng took the initiative to ask for help.

"Huh? Since Bo Tao is willing to go, he still needs to be careful. Guan Yu saw that it was Zhao Feng. He knew Zhao Feng's martial arts well, and he knew that Zhao Feng would definitely win or lose this time, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

The reason why Zhao Feng asked to fight is not all about the moment's painstaking efforts**. When he knew that Cao Xiu was also in Qiao County, he immediately felt keenly that this was a good opportunity. If this Cao's nephew can be captured alive, it will at least be of great benefit to the whole Yuzhou war situation. But when it comes to capture, Guan Yu's martial arts follow the routine of opening up and closing. It is much more difficult for him to capture a person alive than to kill a person in a second. On the contrary, his shooting is soft and strong, and if he wants to be captured alive, he will be more likely to succeed.

Besides, Cao Xiu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, won a game and should have been accepted as soon as he saw it was good. But he is just over 20 years old now, and it is inevitable for young people to compete for victory. At present, he continues to show off his power in front of Guan Yu's army.

"Huh?" Cao Xiu suddenly saw another man in Guan Yuzhai, but the leader was also a young general, which seemed to be the same age as himself. The general will be known, and I will not kill the nameless rat. Cao Xiu feels very good about himself now, so he is the first to fight.

"Xuzhou Zhonglang General Zhao Feng, Zhao Botao, Cao Xiu, die!" Zhao Feng was also too lazy to fight, so he directly fought with Cao Xiu in front of the horse. Between the two horses, the two of them had already fought together.

It has been almost six years since Zhao Feng came to this world. In the past six years, Zhao Feng has never relaxed his martial arts training except that he did not practice much as a pavilion chief in Pingyuan County in the first year, and then joined the army in Pingyuan County. In addition to the diligent practice every day, there is no shortage of one-on-one fights with Guan Yu or Zhang Fei in three days. Zhao Feng estimated that his current martial arts, although he was slightly worse than a fierce general like Guan Zhang, he was only on the same level as Zhang Liao or Tai Shi Ci.

As for Cao Xiu, he is obviously not enough for Zhao Feng. After only a dozen rounds of fight, Cao Xiu only felt that every time his long gun was stabbed out, the other party seemed to be able to lift the weight lightly. And every time the weapons intersect, Cao Xiu felt that his weapons were almost swept away. At present, he tried his best to hold the barrel of the gun to continue the battle.

After another eight or nine rounds, Zhao Feng almost figured out Cao Xiu's strength. At present, he no longer used Taiji shooting, but changed to Yang's shooting. Cao Xiu was not good at martial arts. Zhao Feng's sudden change was even more unprepared. Seeing that the other party's moves were getting faster and faster, after barely blocking seven moves, he was finally stabbed in the left shoulder by Zhao Feng, and then was swept down by Zhao Feng across the gun pole.

"It's tied up with me!" Zhao Feng put the tip of his gun against Cao Xiu's throat. Several sharp soldiers quickly followed him and tied Cao Xiu into a big zongzi with a thick hemp rope. Du Yuan, listen to me. If you surrender quickly, I can still save your life. Otherwise, I will cut Cao Xiu with a thousand knives. At that time, neither we nor Cao will let you go!" Zhao Feng noticed that a man who looked like a general had been watching in the city. He estimated that he was Du Yuan, so he threatened him and wanted to scare this timid man.

Du Yuan was at a loss at the top of the city, but unexpectedly, Cao Xiu, who was tied up into zongzi, was already in a hurry and shouted, "Du Taishou, don't care about me. Don't open the city and surrender, or I, the Cao family, will all stop! I, Cao Xiu, will die today. My uncle said that he would not blame you if he learned it later!"

"Gag his mouth for me!" Zhao Feng was a little angry. At this moment, a white-haired old man tremblingly walked to the top of the city and shouted as loudly as possible to Cao Xiu under the city, "Wen Lie's nephew, I can't save you today, I can only defend the city. I just hope you would rather die than give in than humiliate the prestige of my Cao family.

"Hmm!" Cao Xiu, who was gagged, couldn't speak, but he still nodded hard. When Zhao Feng saw this situation, he immediately understood that the old man was afraid that he was the elder of the Cao clan. With his words, it was not realistic to use Cao Xiu to force Du Yuan to surrender.

"Take him to see General Guan. I don't believe this boy is useless at all." Zhao Feng said with hatred. Several of his soldiers took Cao Xiu in custody and returned to the tent with Zhao Feng to see Guan Yu. At this time, the gate of Qiao County had been closed again, and the remaining thousands of people who did not have time to enter the city knew that they could not do anything, and they all surrendered one after another.
