Chapter 198 Weizhen Huaxia

This joking words made Cao Ren angry. His pale face turned red. He wanted to curse to vent his anger, but his mouth could not even spit out a word.

Because he has already lost his tongue.

The cavalry continued to move forward.

This cavalry pretending to be Cao's army ran all the way to the north under the banner of the defeated army in Jiangling. At first, it was still able to meet the scattered soldiers who fled to the north, but when they passed the sun, it was difficult to see the shadow of the soldiers.

The reason is as analyzed by Pang Tong, in the battle of Jiangling, Cao's army was defeated, and the battalions of the army scattered and fled. For a moment, no one found that their main general Cao Ren had fallen into the enemy.

Man Chong, who was responsible for rescuing the grain camp, took the grain camp as a stronghold to collect the defeated troops who fled from the south after learning that the Jiangling camp had fallen. Because the defeat happened too fast, Man Chong did not know whether Cao Ren was alive or dead, so in this case, all he could do was to gather the defeated troops, wait for Cao Ren to come to join him, and then discuss whether it was a way to retreat.

At this time, Man Chong did not know that a cavalry pretending to be a defeated army had successfully crossed his defense area and went straight to Xiangyang, and the general Zhengnan, who Man Chong had been waiting for, was actually among them.

Even if Man Chong saw through Liu Feng's plan, it would be useless. What can he do to rush back to Xiangyang City to report the news before this three hundred miles of cavalry?

All the way unimpeded. At noon, Liu Feng finally saw the towering outline of Xiangyang City.

At this moment, Hu Xiu, the assassin of Jingzhou, stood at the head of the city, enduring the warm and cold wind in early spring and patrolling the city.

Hu Xiu rubbed his face as cold as armor, and the cold wind blew on his skin, as painful as a knife.

Hu Xiu doesn't like the wet and cold weather in the south. At this time, he prefers to stay in the north, wrapped tightly around the stove for warmth.

Maybe he is old. The older he is, the more he likes to be comfortable. Hu Xiu prefers to be an assassin in Bingzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou. At least he doesn't have to worry about it, and he also patrols the city in person in such a cold weather.

There was nothing he could do. As soon as General Cao Ren, the general of Zhengnan, heard that Jiangling in the south was in chaos, his whole body was like beating chicken blood. It was useless to persuade him. He immediately transferred Xiangyang's army and rushed to Jiangling with tens of thousands of troops, saying that he wanted to get rid of shame.

At this moment, Xiangyang City is empty, and there are only 2,000 soldiers available. Although there is Cao Ren's army in the front of him in the south, and there are Wenpin blocking the Wu people in Hanshui, Xiangyang does not seem to have any hidden worries.

However, Hu Xiu still didn't dare to be a little vague. There was nothing he could do. Who let this be the most important nail inserted by Prime Minister Cao in the south? The front, front, left and right enemies are not a bunch of fuel-saving lamps, so he could not be allowed to be inadverted.

When Cao Ren left, he originally boasted that he could capture Jiangling, but now more than ten days have passed, and Jiangling City is still standing. Hu Xiu receives Cao Ren's letters urging grain almost every day. Those documents, like life-threatening charms, make Hu Xiu restless.

"Your Excellency, there is a lot of dust and smoke in the south, and it seems that a large number of people are coming to Xiangyang." The accompanying general pointed to the south and shouted.

Hu Xiu's heart was shocked, and he was old-eyed. He was anxious to put on the cool tent and stare to the south. He was old-eyed. Sure enough, he saw the end of the south avenue. A rounded black thin line was looking at Xiangyang. The dust flew like fog.

Cavalry is a cavalry!

Hu Xiu, who is experienced, judged who came as soon as he saw this situation, and shouted urgently, "Give my order, put down the suspension bridge, close the four gates, and the whole army will go to the city to prepare for war."

The order was issued, and the whole Xiangyang City was immediately shrouded in the clouds of war. A team of soldiers immediately left the barracks and rushed to the head of the city to wait.

The civilians in the city saw such a situation. It was expected that there would be changes. In shock, the shops were closed and the doors were closed. In a short time, the originally lively street market was empty, and there was a dead silence. Except for a few wild dogs occasionally, there was no one-person figure.

On the head of the city, Hu Xiu carried a big knife with a heavy look and anxiously at the running team getting closer and closer.

The wind and sand rustled on the handle of the knife, and the cold wind blew into the knife. When Hu Xiu saw the true face of the army, he couldn't help taking a breath and involuntarily fought a cold war, which made him instinctively tighten his armor.

It was a large-scale cavalry, with a rough estimate of about one thousand. Although the number is small, it is already a large number for expensive cavalry.

The fog is flying, and he still can't see the flag of the cavalry, but Hu Xiu's heart is a little relieved after the initial surprise.

Hu Xiu is clear that there are no horses in the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it is Wu people, Liu Bei, or Liu Feng, who rose at a miraculous speed, it is extremely difficult for them to piece together a cavalry of such a scale. In Jingzhou area, only Cao Ren can do this.

However, the general of Zhengnan is besieging Jiangling, but why does his cavalry appear in Xiangyang? And it's still in the absence of any advance.

Hu Xiu was uncertain, and he could only temporarily suppress the suspicion and wait for the change.

The horses' hoofs flew like the wind. After a while, the cavalry had been forced to the front of the city.

This time, Hu Xiu finally saw clearly that the cavalry, whether it was armor or the flag, was built by themselves. Looking carefully, many of them were untidy, and some of them even did not even have the long weapons used by the cavalry. It seemed that they fled after a defeat.

When the defenders in the city saw that they were their brothers, their nervous spirit suddenly relaxed, and the bows and arrows that had already been stringed also loosened.

"The whole army is on alert and must not relax!" Hu Xiu shouted loudly, which made the relaxed soldier alert again.

Hu Xiu is worthy of being an old man and knowledgeable. As a civil servant, although he has not fought a hard battle, he has seen a lot of pretending to be an enemy and earning a city.

What he saw was that it was his own army, but without knowing whether it was true or not, Hu Xiu had no reason to relax.

As he shouted, a group of cavalry had stepped on the wind and arrived in front of the moat with sandstorm-like tail dust, shouting to open the door through a ditch.

"Whose subordinates are you? Why did you suddenly come to Xiangyang?" Hu Xiu was so strong that his voice was loud and straight to the city.

The chaotic cavalry soon calmed down. A road was automatically separated in front of the gate. Several riders passed through and walked to the moat. One of them shouted, "General Zhengnan is here. Why don't you open the gate?"

General Zhengnan? Is Cao Ren back?

Hu Xiu was a little surprised. He quickly stretched out his neck and leaned down and shouted, "Where is General Zhengnan?"

A member described the deflated middle-aged general. With the support of the left and right, he slowly stepped forward. The young cavalry next to him shouted, "General Zhengnan is here. Are you blind? What else do you ask? Open the gate quickly?"

The soldier's words were vulgar, and he relied on Cao Ren's subordinates. Hu Xiu did not think it was strange. He looked at him carefully and saw that the man was indeed Cao Ren, but his face was very bad, and he half fell on the horse and said nothing.

"Isn't General Cao besieging Jiangling? Why did you suddenly go back to the teacher and not give a message to the subordinate in advance?

Hu Xiu did not doubt too much, but was just curious, so he subconsciously asked again.

Cao Ren did not answer, and the young knight next to him said, "We were raided by the enemy in Jiangling. General Zhengnan was injured, so it's inconvenient to talk to you. Why don't you open the gate quickly and call the best doctor to treat General Cao's wounds?

It turned out that Cao Ren returned after being defeated.

Hu Xiu was shocked, and he thought that Cao Ren's expression was virtuous. He was determined to go, and he was defeated and injured.

Although Hu Xiu felt sorry for Cao Ren's defeat, he immediately felt a little proud when he recalled his advice to Cao Ren.

Did not hesitate any more. Hu Xiu shouted urgently, "Come on, open the gate quickly and welcome the return of General Zhengnan."

Such an order is equivalent to the lifting of combat readiness, and the soldiers' mood suddenly relaxed.

As the suspension bridge slowly fell, the strong gate slowly opened, and the cavalry crossed the moat and rushed into Xiangyang City.

The solid and indestructible door was opened.

I ran for two days and two nights for this moment.

The corners of Liu Feng's mouth were hooked, and a murderous smile flashed.

"Take good care of him. Let's go." Liu Feng pushed Cao Ren aside, who had cut off his tongue and couldn't say a word. He unloaded the heavy gun and went straight into Xiangyang.

The dusty cavalry passed through the huge doorway with a turbulent mood, and the guards who opened the door even bowed slightly to them and welcomed them into the city.

To be precise, it was welcoming the return of General Cao Ren of Zhengnan, but the guards strangely found that General Cao Ren did not seem to be the first to enter the city.

At the moment when the horse entered Xiangyang City, Liu Feng had a sudden illusion in a trance, as if at this moment, he had found a new world.

On the face, an old official greeted him with a smile. Liu Feng vaguely remembered that this person was the person who talked to him on the top of the city. Although Liu Feng did not know him, it was estimated that he was not the assassin of Jingzhou or the governor of Xiangyang or something.

"General Cao, subordinate..."

Hu Xiu planned to welcome Cao Ren's arrival, but he strangely found that Cao Ren did not enter first and ran to the front. Instead, Cao Ren was beside the soldier who shouted to him.

When he was poking his head and trying to find Cao Ren's shadow in the crowd behind him, he suddenly found that the soldier knight was non-stop, dragging the silver gun and hitting him.

A trace of horror flashed in my heart in an instant.

"You--"

Without saying a word, Liu Feng had wiped it by his side. When the ape's arm trembled, the sharp gun edge lightly crossed Hu Xiu's neck.

The assassin of Jingzhou shook his elderly body and fell to the ground with his back on his back. His throat had been cut off, and the blood was like the water of the bursting embankment.

"Kill!"

A thousand cavalry, like a wolf tearing off the sheep's skin, immediately showed a ferocious look and killed those frightened Cao soldiers.

In the spring, Liu Feng, the general of Zhennan, killed Guan Yu, captured Cao Ren, attacked Jiangling, broke through Xiangyang, and shocked China.
