Chapter 26 Mistakes in advance

"Kneel down!"

When Zhao Feng got off his horse and tidied up his armor and returned to the camp, the two previous soldiers who had escorted Cao Xiu were pressing him to the ground hard. Cao Xiu struggled and cursed, "You dog thieves will kill if you want to. I frown and I'm not a descendant of the Cao family!"

"It's very good. Last time Cao killed the people in my Xuzhou, let his nephew pay off his debts today." Guan Yu saw that Cao Xiu would rather die and unyielding, and he, who was proud of love, had no patience to persuade him to surrender. After a pause, he said, "Come on, drag me out and kill me!"

"The second general, please calm down for the time being. Since Cao Xiu is a son of the Cao family, it may be useful for him to force Du Yuan to surrender." At this time, Liao Hua suggested. However, if he saw the scene on the wall, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said this.

"Dog thieves, don't think about it. My descendants of the Cao family have always had a broken-headed general, but they have no knees!" Cao Xiu was still scolding, and the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding.

"Oh, Bo Tao is back. What should you do?" Guan Yu saw that Zhao Feng happened to make money. He thought that Cao Xiu was finally captured by Zhao Feng. It was best to ask Zhao Feng for his opinion on how to deal with it. What's more, Zhao Feng has always had wonderful ideas.

"It's better to take it down first and then kill it after the city is broken. Beheading at this time will only make the people in the city defend the city more desperately, and then there will be more casualties. At this point, Zhao Feng stepped forward and walked to Guan Yu and whispered, "The broken city is tonight, and it needs to fall on this person." The voice was very low, and only Yu heard it.

"Huh?" Guan Yu was just a little stunned, but then pretended to be nothing and ordered the soldiers to take Cao Xiu under strict custody. What did Bo Tao think of? Guan Yu hurriedly asked when he saw that Cao Xiu was out of the tent.

"It's not a new idea, it's just to make the original strategy of Liu Pi and Gong Du more reliable." Zhao Feng explained with a smile.

Li Yan turned his eyes and turned his mind and said, "Does General Zhao want the two leaders Liu Pi and Gong Du to let go of this man, and then let him lead the way into Qiao County?"

"Except it is!" Zhao Feng nodded and admitted.

"This method is simple, but I don't know if Cao Xiu will be fooled?" Guan Yu thought about it and raised his own questions.

"After all, Cao Xiu is young. Now he is dead after being captured. If someone can save him, it is naturally important to live." Zhao Feng said this, but he kept muttering in his heart: The biggest feature of Cao Xiu is that he is too easy to trust others, especially those who are sincere. In history, he has become a general, but he was cheated by Zhou Kun of Dongwu who cut a pinch of his hair. Now that I am young and inexperienced, it is easier to cheat.

"Well, anyway, we are going to cheat the city, so we have a greater grasp." Guan Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement. At this time, Zhao Feng continued, "Since you want to do a play, you have to do something like it. Later, let the sergeants pack up a few empty tents and come out. In the evening, Liu Pi and Gong Du set fire. The soldiers guarding Cao Xiu pretended to go out to put out the fire. Then they saved Cao Xiu and escaped from the back door, and then walked around to the east gate of Qiaojun to shout the door. I have seen the terrain. There is a small dirt slope on the left side of the east gate, which can probably hide more than a thousand people behind. As soon as the gate is opened, the two of them will immediately occupy the gate, and then ambush the soldiers to kill. As long as they can fight for a while, our brigade can follow up and enter Qiao County from behind.

"That's it! Li Yan, you led a thousand people to ambush behind the slope. Just wait for the gate to open, and then go in and cut down the suspension bridge. Guan Yu unexpectedly asked Li Yan to ambush, and Liao Hua and Hao Meng were also stunned. After all, Li Yan's official position is still the captain of the State of Liang, and his official rank is lower than theirs. I didn't expect Guan Yu to give him such an important task.

"It's gold that will shine after all." Zhao Feng meditated on this sentence in his heart. Although Guan Yu was very crazy, he was not a person without understanding. Li Yan's talent is far better than Liao Hua and others. Guan Yu also saw it through the contact in the past few days, so he gave him such an important task.

"Porth the order!" Li Yan was just a little stunned, and then held his fist to receive the order. He could hear that his tone was still a little excited. Then Guan Yu continued to arrange, and the rest of the people who responded and who stayed in Dazhai. When all this was arranged, people were still ordered to continue to attack the city. After all, if you suddenly don't attack the city, it will inevitably make the defenders suspicious. In case it happens to be self-defeating, it will be bad.

The Xuzhou army had been attacking the city during the day until nightfall. Cao Xiu was locked in a separate small tent in the rear army, and his whole body was tied to a wooden shelf. Although Cao Xiu was very firm and unyielding when he was captured, he was more or less nervous after being tied up like this for a day. Although there were two guards around, Cao Xiu didn't bother to talk to them. In addition, Cao Xiu didn't know whether Guan Yu had forgotten or wanted to starve him to death. No one had ever sent him food on this day, and now he is starving.

I don't know how long it took. Cao Xiu was a little impatient. Suddenly, he felt that there seemed to be some fire outside the account, and then someone shouted that there was a fire. And there are more and more people shouting, and the voice is getting louder and louder. How thick can this tent be? Soon, even Cao Xiu and the two guards could see the fire flashing across the tent.

"It's not good. It's on fire. What should we do?"

"What should I do? Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Let's put out the fire. What should we do with this boy?"

"It's so tied so tightly that this boy can't run away. Either we put out the fire and come back, or we will burn him to death!"

"Well, it may be burned to death here. Let's go out and have a look together."

The two soldiers discussed for a few words, and they threw down their weapons and went out to see the situation. Ah!" As soon as they went out, Cao Xiu heard their screams.

"Huh?" Cao Xiu was stunned. Two big men had rushed in outside the tent. One of them pulled out a sharp knife and cut off all the thick hemp ropes tied to Cao Xiu.

"Dare to ask who is the strong man?" No matter how stupid Cao Xiu was, he could see that someone came to save him. This is not the place to speak. General Cao, follow us first!" The leader whispered, and then took Cao Xiu out of the tent and walked back. Although Cao Xiu was injured and didn't eat, and he was tied up for a long time, after all, he was strong and different from ordinary people, and he could still barely keep up with the two people at present. Although he didn't meet anyone on the way, Cao Xiu noticed that the fire in the west was soaring to the sky, and he must have been busy.

A group of three people came to the wall of the back courtyard, where more than a hundred people were waiting for them and pried away the fence. When Cao Xiu and others arrived, the crowd hurried out of the camp, and then ran a long way to the east until they were sure that no one had caught up with them.

"Excuse me, the name of the great scholar, such a great kindness, Cao Xiu will be a great reward." Cao Xiu came forward to the big man who came to save him. Along the way, he also saw that this person should be the leader of this group, and everyone else called him Brother Liu.

"General Cao's words are heavy. We are all enemies of Guan Yu. What's the point of each other?" The man said modestly, and then gasped and said, "I'm Runan Liu Pi, and this is my brother Gong Du. We used to dominate in Runan. Previously, Guan Yu's army was stationed in Yuzhou, and we saw that it was not an opponent, so we led the crowd to obey. Without thinking that Guan Yu was really insidious, he accepted us on the surface, but he broke up tens of thousands of our subordinates and reorganized us into the army. In name, it is to strengthen training, but in fact, it is overhead us. We originally had tens of thousands of subordinates, but we only had a military commander when we came to him. Brother Gong and I have discussed it, and we all feel that there is really no future to follow Guan Yu. After hearing about the corporal Lixian of Prime Minister Cao for a long time, he decided to prevent fire and cause trouble, and then took the opportunity to rescue the general, so that he could go to Prime Minister Cao. Unfortunately, in a hurry, only more than a hundred brothers were gathered. After Liu Pi finished speaking, he shook his head repeatedly and was very regretful.

Cao Xiu listened to Liu Pi patiently and said happily, "If you two have this in mind, Cao Xiu has been introduced from the contemporary era. This is not a place to talk. Let's go back to Qiao County first. There are 10,000 soldiers in the city, which is enough to defend the city to wait for my uncle's reinforcements. But I don't know how many horses there are still in Guan Yu?"

Liu Pi looked up and said, "Guan Yu led 50,000 troops into Yuzhou. Except for the left-behind people and horses in various places, there is still combat consumption. Now the rest is absolutely less than 30,000. If you attack the strong city where 10,000 people are stationed with 30,000 horses, there is not much chance of winning. But in order to win, Guan Yu has been attacking the city regardless of casualties these days, and the generals can't listen to their advice.

"Well, as soon as the Prime Minister's reinforcements arrive, the internal and external attack should be the leader. Let's go back to Qiao County first. Do you two know where there are no Xuzhou soldiers and horses? Cao Xiu comforted the two and began to ask the most direct escape question.

At this time, Gong Du said, "There is no East Gate. The terrain there is undulating and it is difficult to launch an offensive, so Guan Yu only sent some scouts to patrol there, but there are no military horses."

"In that case, let's take a detour to the East Gate to enter the city!" Cao Xiu hated it, and then took a detour to the East Gate with Liu Pi and more than a hundred others. After more than an hour, he arrived at the East Gate of Qiao County.

"Who is it?" When the sentries on the head of the city saw the group approaching, they quickly stopped and aimed dozens of bows and arrows at them at the same time.

"I'm General Cao Xiu. Open the gate quickly!" Cao Xiu shouted.

"General Cao?" Several sentries looked at each other in front of each other, and one cleverly hurried to report to the officer. Coincidentally, Du Yuan patrolled the East Gate at this time. Hearing the report from his men, he hurried to the wall to see what was going on.

"It's really General Cao!" Du Yuan saw through the fire that the first person was Cao Xiu, "Hey, isn't it the Liu Pi brothers and the Gong Du brothers? Why are you with General Cao? Du Yuan was even more surprised when he found two other acquaintances.

"These two heroes were not tolerated by Guan Yu, so they took the risk to save me. Du Taishou, open the door quickly!" Cao Xiu hurriedly explained a few words. Du Yuan saw that there were two people, and he was also very relieved in his subconscious. Now he ordered to open the door.

Unfortunately, Du Yuan forgot at that time that Liao Hua and he was also an acquaintance.

"Ban!" Squeak!" The suspension bridge was put down and the gate opened. Du Yuan came down to meet Cao Xiu and Liu Pi in person. He was about to wait until these hundreds of people crossed the suspension bridge. Du Yuan was about to talk to Cao Xiu, but he heard Liu Pi shout, "Do it!"

Then, hundreds of people took out a long knife from the armor behind them, and then rushed to Du Yuan and others who were defenseless or had no time to guard. The city gate cave is very narrow, and this foot long knife is very easy to use. For a moment, more than a dozen corpses were on the spot.

"There is fraud!" Just as Du Yuan was about to ask someone to close the gate, he saw a man's horse suddenly killed behind the small dirt slope a few miles outside the city, and then rushed to the gate opened by the hole at full speed.
