Chapter 536 Cao Cao's Hidden Murder

After the end of the Shouchun War, Cao Cao was awarded meritorious personnel, Sun Jian as the herdsman of Yangzhou, his descendants were the governor of Jiujiang, Zhou Yu was the governor of Huiji, and the Jiangdong generals such as Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao were also rewarded. As for Liu Bei and his literary and martial arts, Cao Cao also rewarded each other, but the reward of Liu Bei's faction is far less generous than that of Sun Jian's faction. Zhang Fei complained about this, and even tried his impulsiveness to argue with Cao Cao several times, but he was stopped by Liu Bei.

The power of Yuan Shu, a giant crocodile in the south, was officially declared extinct, and most of its soldiers, horses and jurisdictions were scraped by Cao Cao and Sun Jian. The two counties of Nanyang and Runan fell into the hands of Cao Cao. As for Sun Jian, he gained a lot. He collected all the land of Yangzhou and got the seal of Cao Cao. He justly sat down as the lord of Yangzhou. In the annihilation of Yuan Shu, there was also Liu Bei, who made a lot of contributions. In addition to getting some famous and false rewards, he almost did not get any actual rewards, not even an inch of land.

Liu Bei can only forbear with this. After all, unlike Sun Jian, he has nearly 100,000 soldiers. At present, his power is only less than 20,000 troops left. Even self-protecting is still difficult. How dare he ask Cao Cao, a peerless hero? Moreover, Liu Bei faintly felt the hostility from Cao Cao. At this time, as soon as Yuan Shu was destroyed, Cao Cao's power expanded to the south. The next person he wanted to deal with was probably himself.

Liu Bei was full of vigilance against Cao Cao. As soon as the battle in Shouchun was over, he said goodbye to Cao Cao and led the army back to Xuzhou. Cao Cao didn't leave much for Liu Bei, but after a few kind words, he asked Liu Bei to withdraw his army from Shouchun.

"Ha ha. It seems that Liu Xuande has found the hostility of the lord. If he rush back to Xuzhou like this, he must seize the time to guard against the pressure of the lord's army.

Not long after Liu Bei left, Guo Jiaxiao's figure appeared. Cao Cao carried his body on his back. Although he did not see anyone, when he heard the unruly laughter, Cao Cao knew who came from.

"Feng filial piety, Liu Daer is not an idle person, and he is known as a person of benevolence and righteousness. There are countless fierce generals around him, and he will be able to fly to the sky in time. If you don't take advantage of the general trend and destroy it, there will be endless troubles.

"The lord thinks highly of this person. Unfortunately, Liu Xuande has no strategic talent around him, which is doomed to make it difficult for him to achieve a great career. Moreover, when Liu Xuande failed in his general situation, he met such a giant crocodile as the lord, which can be said to be unlucky.

Guo Jia walked with a faint smile. Cao Cao slowly turned around and his thin eyes lit up.

"It's time, luck, and fate. Everyone's fate is full of variables, and how can it be as calculated by others? This time, although you and I are well arranged, I always feel that Liu Xuande's luck is endless.

"Oh? Chen Kui, Chen Deng and his son have been persuaded by the master to vote. The power of the Chen family in Xuzhou is so powerful that it can be said that it is powerful. And Chen Yuanlong is even more resourceful. With the help of their father and son, how can Liu Xuande live?

Guo Jia's bright eyes full of wisdom opened slightly, and Guo Jia asked with a little surprise. Cao Cao just smiled indifferently and then replied.

"It's ridiculous. That's how I feel."

"Feeling?"

Guo Jiajing muttered quietly, and then there was no dialogue between the two, as if they were thinking about something.

At the same time, outside Tancheng in the East China Sea, Cao's army is rushing to Tancheng like a huge wave. A team of Cao's army either climbs the cloud ladder, or lifts wooden stakes and hits the city gates, or piles up shields to resist the tide of arrows shot densely under the city wall. Falling rolling wood and boulders.

On the city wall of Tancheng, Taishici's face was extremely solemn. Cao's army has been attacking for more than ten days, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command have been depleted nearly half. If there is no reinforcements to save it, Tancheng will not take a few days, and it will be defeated by the Cao army!

"Come on!! Why hasn't there been a reply from Guangling!!!"

Taishi Ci suddenly gathered and shouted loudly, and a general rushed to reply.

"General Taishi, the last general has sent three teams to Guangling in the past few days according to your order. I just don't know why I haven't replied to Guangling so far. General Taishi, don't worry. Maybe Chen Zhubo has been raising troops and horses, and he will arrive soon!"

"Fit! At present, the military situation is urgent, and Tancheng is in danger. The longer the war is delayed, the more dangerous it will be! Hurry up and write another letter, lead the army to Guangling in person, and tell Chen Yuanlong that if his troops and horses do not arrive in five days, Tancheng will definitely be broken by the Cao army!!"

Tai Shici stared at him, and his words roared fiercely, and his tone was full of impatience.

"Wow! Let's get ready immediately!"

"It can't be delayed. In half an hour, I will lead the army to cover for you!"

Although Tai Shici did not see too panic on the surface, in fact, he was very anxious inside. In this situation, Tancheng, not to mention sticking to it for five days, it would be lucky if it could hold on for three days. The general received the order in a hurry and left quickly. Taishi Ci narrowed his eyes and called two soldiers to be in charge of command. After the order, Taishi Ci hurriedly ordered several teams of soldiers to leave the city wall with him, and went down to the city to cover it later.

Half an hour has almost passed, and the east gate of Tancheng, which was attacked by fewer Cao soldiers, suddenly opened. Taishi Ci led a thousand cavalry troops to rush out and kill Cao's army outside the city. Outside the city, as soon as Cao Jun saw the gate open, Cao Jun, who was closest to the gate, immediately rushed to the gate crazily. Tai Shici looked coldly, waved his spear, danced densely, and rushed into the crowd of Cao's army. When he saw people, he stabbed, as if he were killing into no one's land. The spear kept dancing in Taishi Ci's hand, and Cao Bing around him let out a sad scream, and the blood flew violently. Tai Shici rushed left and right, killing all directions. Under the bravery of Tai Shici, the crowd of Cao's army was quickly broken, and the cavalry behind him rushed wildly. A long gun stabbed everywhere in the rush of the horse, killing and retreating the Cao soldiers who came from a team.

While Tai Shici led the army to break through Cao's army, a team of light riders took the opportunity to grab the road to an open space. When several Cao army generals found it, they immediately guessed that the light rider was going to move the rescuers, and quickly ordered the soldiers to stop it. Taishi Cihu burst out a few pieces of light in an instant and waved his spear to sweep. After killing the surrounding Cao soldiers, he picked up the bow and put on the arrows, and the three arrows moved with the bow string. Taishi Ci shouted loudly, and then the first arrow flew out, hitting the heart of a member of Cao Jiang. After that, Tai Shici shouted the word 'was' again, and the second arrow flew through the air, like a thunderbolt, hitting the head of another general Cao.

Taishi Ci shot two Cao generals to death in an hour, and the other Cao general, who was commanding the soldiers to stop the light horse, was so scared that he flew away. How dared to command the soldiers again? As soon as he pulled out his horse's head, he retreated.

"Ball-free rats! Where to go! Come on!"

Taishi Ci's voice was like thunder, and the third arrow was shot out quickly. The arrow broke through the air and flew so fast that it was hard to see it. Not long after Cao Jiang fled, he was suddenly caught up by the arrow. Before he could avoid it, the arrow pierced the armor behind him and flew straight out through his heart.

Taishi Ci's arrow skills were excellent, which deterred the whole audience. The remaining Cao generals in the field did not dare to say another word, for fear of being targeted by Tai Shici's horrible tiger eyes.

On the other side of the battlefield, Cao soldiers came to report to Xia Houyuan, saying that there was a team of light horses at the East Gate who escaped, and because there was a good arrow enemy general to cover, the soldiers on the other side of the East Gate could not be blocked. If Xia Houyuan did not make arrangements, I was afraid that the light cavalry would soon escape ten miles away from Tancheng and it would be difficult to chase again.

"A good arrow general, it seems that it must be Tai Shi Ci."

Xia Houyuan muttered, and suddenly the picture of him once competed with Tai Shi Ci in his mind. Xia Houyuan smiled Ling Ran, and then ordered a team of cavalry to follow him to the East Gate.

After half a column of incense, Tai Shici was still leading the army to fight at the East Gate. Seeing that the light riding team behind him had escape into a dense forest, he was about to take the troops back to the city. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and Tai Shici's face suddenly changed, and he immediately waved his spear to stab him in the back.

With a bang, the spear collided violently with an extremely fast unknown object. The unknown object then burst, and countless sawdusts flew. Taishi Ci's pupils suddenly shrank. As soon as he closed the spear, he quickly picked up the bow and arrow, and fired three arrows in a row to the position where the unknown object had just flew.

Three arrows rushed away in a line, piercing straight to Xiahou Yuan's position. Xia Houyuan grinned and also sent out three arrows. Between the lightning, the arrows and arrows touched each other, and the six arrows were smashed into pieces in the air.

"Xiahou Miaocai!"

"Tai Shi Ziyi!"

Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan shouted each other's names almost at the same time. At the same time, the two of them had a fierce fighting spirit, and their momentum became more and more powerful, both of which exuded an extremely amazing momentum.

After a pause, the two moved so fast, and their hands soared. In a hurry, five arrows appeared on their bow strings, and the two bow strings were pulled into a full moon under their tiger arms, making a loud 'buzzing' sound!

Taishi Ci and Xia Houyuan all waved their big bows horizontally, and the five fingers of the bow were almost released at the same time. The five arrows in the two bows flew through the air like thunder and lightning.

Wo, sw!!!

The five arrows shot by the two men all formed a horizontal plane and went to the air. The soldiers around them hurriedly avoided for fear of being affected by the ten arrows. In an in an inn, ten arrows collided violently, and there were seven or eight loud noises in a row, like a huge hammer hitting the world frequently. While the arrows cracked, a hurricane set off, and several arrows passed by. Two arrows were shot opposite Tai Shici. Tai Shici's body shook repeatedly and hurriedly avoided it. Two arrows brushed the armor on his body and burst into two sparks. As for Xia Houyuan, an arrow flew in, and the speed was amazing. Xia Houyuan shouted loudly, quickly grabbed the gun next to him and pierced the arrow. Even so, the strength of the arrow shot by Tai Shici was really terrible. Xia Houyuan's face changed slightly. The mouth of the tiger on his big hand with a gun cracked a blood mouth, and there were bursts of severe pain.

Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan looked at each other from afar. In the fight just now, neither of them took advantage of it. In terms of the attainment of archery, the two can be said to be indistant.

In a moment, two sharp momentum burst out from the majestic bodies of Taishici and Xia Houyuan. Taishici took out a huge arrow from the arrow bag behind. This big arrow was several times thicker than the ordinary arrow, which was specially created by Taishici. Xia Houyuan on the opposite side also grabbed a small arrow in one hand from a grid in the arrow bag behind him. These small arrows are smaller than ordinary arrows, which are also specially created by Xia Houyuan.

The two of them put on bows and arrows one after another, and the momentum became more and more powerful. In the eyes of the two, the bow and arrow in Tai Shici's hand gathered countless purple beams and turned into a huge purple roc. At the same time, it seemed that countless wolves roared faintly. On Xiahou Yuan's bow, a huge black giant wolf flew up to the sky and roared.

Taishi Ci fiercely pulled the bow and string, and the big arrow flew out of the string. The Zi Kun Dapeng then opened its wings and rushed to Xiahou Yuan like an electric light flying fast.
