"Sima Lin, are you sure the direction is not wrong?" Cao Xiu personally led all the cavalry in Runan City, a total of more than 300 cavalry. Under the leadership of Lin Hu, he quickly chased south for more than 5 miles. He still did not see any traces of Xu Huang's army or Liu Bei's remaining army in front of him. He couldn't help but ask Lin Hu beside him with some doubts.

"Report to General, you can't be wrong. There are signs left by General Xu along the way. I believe it should be not far ahead!" Lin Hu replied quickly.

"Yeah!" Cao Xiu felt at ease when Lin Hu answered so affirmatively, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, accelerate the march with me!"

After another rush, he rushed for about two miles. Suddenly, a cavalryman with good eyes shouted loudly: "General, there seems to be someone and a horse fighting in front of him."

"What!" Hearing this, Cao Xiu was surprised and happy, and hurriedly raised his eyes and saw a gust of dust flying in front of him. Cao Xiu immediately became extremely excited, raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The enemy has been intercepted. All the soldiers rushed over! Those who captured and killed Liu Bei will be rewarded with great reward!"

After saying that, Cao Xiu clamped his horse and stepped down from his belly, took the lead, and rushed forward.

The distance is getting closer, 500 steps! 400 steps!... Until 200 steps away, Cao Xiu could clearly see the cold and fierce light emitted by the swords and guns waving in the hands of the two cavalrymen fighting in front.

The magical skill is right in front of you! Cao Xiu's eyes showed an eager look and he shouted loudly: "Kill!"

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred! Lin Hu, who had been following Cao Xiu closely, suddenly raised all his strength and waved his spear in his hand to sweep Cao Xiu's back.

Cao Xiu did not expect such a variable at all. He was hit on the back by the gun bar without any defense, lost his center of gravity and fell down from the horse. With a "bang!", he fell heavily on the cold mud.

"...ah...Lin Hu, you're crazy..." Cao Xiu quickly got up from the ground in a mess, not caring about the pain on his body, and cursed angrily.

But soon, a spear pointed straight at the throat made Cao Xiu's scolding stop.

"You are all with me! Cao Xiu's life is in my hands. Whoever dares to act rashly will pierce his throat immediately!" "Lin Hu' saw that the Cao army cavalry behind him was about to rush over to rescue Cao Xiu, and immediately shouted angrily, "Cao Xiu, I am not Lin Hu! I am under General Zhang Fei's command, Lin Bao, the deputy commander of the Fengqi Battalion. You have been tricked by my general!"

As soon as Lin Bao finished his voice, a sound arrow soared into the sky. From a forest not far from the right, a spear infantry of nearly 2,000 people emerged from a forest not far from the right, and quickly approached, cutting off the retreat of hundreds of Cao's cavalry. At the same time, the two cavalrymen who were originally "fighting" in front stopped the swords and guns in their hands at the same time, and formed a unit, and quickly pressed over. Immediately, more than 300 Cao's cavalry had formed an encirclement.

"You have been surrounded by my army. You have not yet gotten off your horse and abandoned your weapons and surrender. When will you wait?" Lin Bao shouted again.

Hundreds of Cao's cavalry looked at each other, and the sudden change made them unable to react at all. In the blink of an eye, the master general was captured, and he and others were surrounded by enemy groups. They could not fight, and they might not be able to escape. Moreover, the abandoned master general fled without regard for the battle. Even if they could escape back, they would probably not be able to escape the military law.

"If anyone does not surrender, I will stab Cao Xiu to death immediately!" Lin Bao shouted angrily again with a harsh expression.

After a while, with a "snap" and "snap", the helpless Cao's cavalry turned over and dismounted and surrendered one after another.

………………………………………

I looked at Cao Xiu, who was tied up and kneeled on the ground and still scolded him angrily, turned to Lin Bao and asked, "Is this Cao Xiu?"

"General, it's Cao Xiu!" Lin Bao said excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Cao Xiu was caught so easily. The young man was really impulsive. When he heard that he had the opportunity to establish "unworldly magical achievements", he personally led his army to chase him without hesitation.

"If you take back Runan, it will fall into this person!" I smiled faintly and said confidently.

After hearing the conversation between me and Lin Bao, Cao Xiu ignored the angrily curse. He looked at me in disbelief and said in shock: "You are really Zhang Fei?"

"...Well? Is there anything else Zhang Fei deserves to pretend to be?" I replied calmly.

After getting my affirmative answer, Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cursed like crazy: "Zhang Fei, you crazy... If you don't go to save Liu Bei, why do you run over to attack Runan? Are you disregarding Liu Bei's life and death? Are you not your brothers who have been a charity in Taoyuan? Are you not sympathetic brothers, are you as righteous as brothers? It turns out that everything is fake... If you release this general, we will fight again with your sword and gun..."

"Stop..." Lin Bao could no longer listen to Cao Xiu's insults to me, and kicked Cao Xiu over to the ground with anger.

"Zi Chong, don't worry about him!" I spoke out and stopped Lin Bao's next move. Cao Xiu's almost crazy words and deeds did not anger me, nor did I surprise me. The huge contrast between success and failure is definitely not unacceptable to some people in a short period of time, let alone young people like Cao Xiu who have always been smooth sailing!

"General, what should I do next?" Zhao Yun raised his sword eyebrows slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Zilong, please quickly find a soldier in the Wind Cavalry Camp with a similar figure to Cao Xiu's face and put him in Cao Xiu's armor!" I said in a deep voice.

"The general means... disguised as Cao Xiu... and then..." In an instant, Zhao Yun came over.

"Fraud!" I said with a high voice.

………………………………………………….

An hour later, with "Cao Xiu" as a cover, Zhao Yun and Lin Bao led 600 wind cavalry to disguise and successfully opened the west city gate of Runan and controlled the city gate like thunder. Immediately, I led the "Tiger Gun Camp" and "Bear Gun Camp" that had sneaked to the west gate not far outside the city to break into the city. Cao's army, who was unable to defend and lost unified command, had only carried out some unnecessary resistance after a sudden attack, and quickly collapsed. The strong city of Runan changed hands again between Cao and Liu in less than an hour.

Runan City, the county magistrate's office.

"General, all four gates have been controlled. Except for a few people who were killed for stubborn resistance, the Cao army in the city has abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The surrendered soldiers have been disarmed and detained in the lieutenant colonel's field according to the general's plan. In addition, dozens of people have escaped from the city. Do they need to send troops to chase after them?" Zhao Yunlangsheng reported.

"No need! Time is too expensive, so you can't waste it on them!" I turned to Lin Xue and asked, "Zifeng, have you found the whereabouts of my two sisters-in-law, Sun Qian, Chen Zhen, Mi Zhu and other gentlemen in the city?"

"General, no trace of the mistress and Mr. Sun and others were found in the city!" Lin Xue shook her head and said, "But according to the words of several servants and maids in the county magistrate's mansion, on the day the city was captured, the mistress and Mr. Sun and his party did not fall into the hands of Cao's army. It seemed that they had escaped from the city!"

Now, I can only beg God for blessing - I hope they really escaped! After a moment of contemplation, I said resolutely: "Now our army has recaptured Runan, and the first step of the rescue plan has been successfully implemented. But the next step is the most critical, and there is no negligence, otherwise we will die without a place to bury." Seeing that everyone listened with concentration, I continued: "Next, I will arrange my tasks for everyone."

"Zilong, go to the Fengqi battalion and select the most powerful 300 sergeants. After they are arranged to eat, even you will be replaced with the armor of the cavalry under Cao Xiu, and prepare to fight with me. Remember, order the soldiers to make the armor of the armor a little tattered, stick some blood, and then prepare a military flag of Cao Xiu. In addition... I will bring it to me after I get Cao Xiu fainted. Half an hour later, I will see you gathered at the South Gate."

"Get orders! General, Zhao Yun goes back first!" Zhao Yun responded with a sigh, bowed and turned around and left the hall.

"Zi Chong!" I turned my eyes to Lin Bao again, "You are responsible for arranging people to do all your strength to recruit ships from the people near Ruhe. As much as you can get, the civilian ships you recruit can use silver to provide appropriate compensation to the people. After the recruitment is completed, all ships will be docked at the Sanmen Ferry 4 miles southwest of the city. This matter is related to whether our army can withdraw safely to Shouchun. You must complete it within three hours."

"Get the order!" Lin Bao also accepted the order and left.

"Zifeng, Wen'an! You two..."
