Chapter 3445 The Ghosts on Earth
Cheng Yun was careless.
As long as the war has not stopped for a moment, it will definitely not be relaxed for a moment.
Everyone understands this principle.
Cheng Yun also understands it.
But he didn't do it.
He underestimated Cao Xiu's ability.
Cheng Yun thought Cao Xiu had only a hundred or dozens of people. After successfully attacking and disrupting the situation, he would set a few fires and kill a few people. As long as he had a slight attack, Cao Xiu should have fled in a panic, and could even chase him all the way and kill him on his horse.
But Cheng Yun didn't expect that the reason why Cao Xiu didn't move was waiting for him to come!
Seeing Cheng Yun fall into the trap, Cao Xiu shouted and rushed forward with his sword in his hand!
Cheng Yun was dizzy when he fell and finally got up, he saw Cao Xiu pounce on him.
Cheng Yun was shocked and quickly grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and raised it on Cao Xiu's face. Taking advantage of the gap when Cao Xiu turned his head to avoid it, he drew his sword to resist.
"when!"
A loud bang.
Cheng Yun had a unstable foothold and took two steps in a row.
Cao Xiu succeeded with one blow, and he was even more unforgivable. He chased Cheng Yun and slashed continuously in one breath.
Cao Xiu's martial arts skills are not a top expert, but Cheng Yun is not either.
Cheng Yun was already very badly thrown. Before he could adjust, he ushered in Cao Xiu's fierce attack. After continuous parry, he finally couldn't resist it. The sword was cut off by Cao Xiu!
Seeing Cao Xiu slashing again, Cheng Yun was shocked. A lazy donkey rolled in to avoid it, and his hands also pushed the sand on the ground as much as possible towards Cao Xiuyang.
Cao Xiu narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and cut the air with one knife. He kicked Cheng Yun on the waist, kicking Cheng Yun into a cooked shrimp.
"Come on your life!"
Cao Xiu shouted, swung his knife and slashed again.
Seeing this, Cheng Yun's subordinates were shocked and rushed forward to save.
One person bumped into Cao Xiu, and the other person dragged Cheng Yun back.
Cao Xiu twisted away the impact of Cheng Yun's subordinates, but he also failed to cut off Cheng Yun's head. He just slashed Cheng Yun's shoulder with a knife, and immediately took down Cheng Yun's arm!
Blood splattered, Cheng Yun screamed and fainted immediately.
Some of Cheng Yun's subordinates hurriedly came to block Cao Xiu, and several others raised their hands and feet to drag Cheng Yun out.
"kill!"
Cao Xiu yelled.
The people who followed Cao Xiu were also inspired by Cao Xiu's bravery, and they couldn't help but yelled, and they were extraordinary for a momentum.
On the other hand, Cheng Yun was suppressed by Cao Xiu's aura. In addition, Cheng Yun was seriously injured and did not know his life and death. Even if he had no idea of ​​continuing to fight, Cheng Yun, who had fallen into a coma, fled.
『Oh oh oh oh!』
Cao Xiu's subordinates cheered.
However, Cao Xiu's expression still seemed worried and did not feel much joy because he defeated his opponent.
...
...
On the head of Anyi City, Xun Chen's face was as deep as water.
The situation was originally pretty good, but because of Cheng Yun's mistake, there were twists and turns.
Xun Chen specially summoned Li Erchengyun and others before, repeatedly reminded and even told these people allusions in the Spring and Autumn Period. The purpose was to allow these people to understand the overall strategy and how to do it, but there was still a problem.
One of the most important points in Zheng Boke’s section is the timing.
The timing is wrong, and efforts are in vain.
Obviously, Xun Chen needs to use his main combat power to maintain stability in Anyi City and ensure the safety of the granaries. Cheng Yun acts as a mobile force outside the city to restrain and threaten Cao Xiu, rather than asking Cheng Yun to fight Cao Xiu directly.
There is too much uncertainty in the night.
Anyone can participate in the zero-yuan purchase activity just by covering his face.
But after dawn, some people who cover their faces must make a choice, and there is no room for missing.
So it is the best time to attack when dawn is dawn. You can directly strangle Cao Xiu in one fell swoop and give a good look to those guys around Anyi who are still thinking!
However, Cheng Yun's actions caused problems in Xun Chen's plan.
Now Xun Chen has to make changes to make up for Cheng Yun’s mistakes.
"Li Zhengwei." Xun Chen pointed to the fire outside the city and said, "Immediately lead the troops around the west gate and cruising along the city left and right to shock the bandit army. Do not fight with them, so as not to be ambushed again. After dawn, the bandit army will be in chaos when they see that the city is not down! Only then can it be blocked and killed!"
Li Er asked: "I left the city and the city's defense..."
Xun Chen waved to Pei Hui on the side, "Wen Ji, what if there are thieves in the city, what if there are thieves in chaos?"
Pei Hui wore a pair of armors. Although his face was still a little pale, his eyes were already showing some ferocity. "Hui was not good at fighting, so he would always be with the soldiers, unsheathed his sword and rolled the arrow. If he saw a thief, he would be killed immediately!"
Honest people can also be forced to get forced.
Pei Hui originally had some ideas of communication and compromise and wanted to bring salt to Hedong gentry gentry, but now he found that the Hedong gentry he endorsed gave him a cruel back prick!
Even if Pei Hui had a good temper, after seeing his home invasion being breached by a murderer, raped, killed and abducted his unarmed tribe and servants, he would no longer have the so-called idea of ​​saying something well.
Li Er looked at Pei Hui and thought for a moment, "I left a few good players to protect Pei."
Xun Chen nodded, "So good."
Pei Hui knew that these "good players" would indeed protect themselves, but they also monitored themselves. However, he did not feel disgusted, but bowed to Li Er to thank him.
Good and misfortune depend on each other.
The Pei family has suffered this great disaster, and perhaps it is a turning point in the extreme.
...
...
Cao Xiu didn't have many cards that he could play, so Cao Xiu had to rely more on his opponent's mistakes to have the possibility of winning in chaos.
But the problem is that when Xun Chen sees chaos, he will gradually show embarrassment when Cao Xiu is in trouble.
Insufficient staff.
Xun Chen had some military academy officials under him to call, but there were no one around Cao Xiu, and only a few guards were still obeying orders. The others gathered together temporarily, and no one knew each other. They covered their faces, and some even deliberately disguised their voices.
When defeating Cheng Yun was undoubtedly Cao Xiu's highlight tonight. Some people thought that Cao Xiu could turn the tables successfully, but soon they discovered that there was no chaos in Anyi City as Cao Xiu said, and there was no shadow of the so-called "Cao Army Reinforcements" that had always been said to be coming soon.
As time goes by, when the sky gradually becomes brighter, the ghosts and monsters in the night gradually reveal their weak prototypes.
Light gradually dominated the world again.
The defeat of Cao Xiu and other rioters took shape in an instant.
In this case, Cao Xiu's defeat could not even be restrained.
Because Cao Xiu originally gathered together, they were all mobs!
And from the very beginning, these people knew that they were rebelling, which determined that if Cao Xiu could not gain an absolute advantage in a short period of time, then these people would soon betray Cao Xiu!
I don’t know when these temporary mobs have already started to shout for escaping. The louder the sound of defeat, the more anxious the others will be.
As the sun shone down, the team that Cao Xiu gathered in the darkness had instantly disintegrated, chaotic, and fled.
It was like a ghost that could not be killed in the darkness, but in the sun, it turned into black smoke without resistance.
"What should I do if you are the master?!"
Cao Xiu's guard asked anxiously.
『…』
Cao Xiu leaned on a knife and looked indifferently at the direction of Anyi City.
He succeeded partly, but also partly miscalculated.
The person who miscalculated Xun Chen was for Cheng Yun, while the person who miscalculated Cao Xiu was for Xun Chen.
Cao Xiu's judgment on Xun Chen was correct. For example, Xun Chen's military strength was not high and he had been working in Pingyang for a long time on people's livelihood affairs. He was not very familiar with the military academies in the Cavalry Army...
But Cao Xiu's other part of his judgment was wrong.
Xun Chen is from Yingchuan, but Xun Chen is already marked by a cavalry. He is not like those civil officials in Shandong. His first thought when he sees chaos is to escape!
Or is it called "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall"?
After all, this kind of thing has a tradition in Shandong.
When Yuan Shao was causing trouble, Han Fu was not thinking about confrontation, but running away, and then committing suicide with a knife in the toilet.
When Kong Rong was the prefect, he saw the riots and had no means. After pretending to be calm and was exposed, he would only escape...
There are also people who are not military but are reckless and self-righteous, such as Liu Dai and others.
There are too many examples among the civil servants in Shandong.
Coupled with Xun Chen's original experience, Cao Xiu thought that Xun Chen was a person who was greedy for life and feared death. After all, Xun Chen was at the beginning under Han Fu, and then turned around and worshiped Yuan Shao. As a result, he fled to the north not long after. From a certain perspective, he was also a slave from the three surnames!
What kind of concentration will such a person have?
As a result, Cao Xiu did not expect that the people from Yingchuan had become the style of the Northland!
If you miscalculate, you miscalculate it.
If you play the card, it is impossible to shout "card" and then everyone will do it again.
If there is no chaos in the city and no mistakes, Cao Xiu will have no chance.
If Cao Xiu had a real elite on hand, he could have commanded to try to attack the city and attack the gate, but he had only seven or eight guards around him, so he could barely be considered a good player, what else...
The night riots are like when the stock market rises in later generations, a group of monsters and monsters are bragging about each other. It seems that everyone is a good player in the trend, but when the stock market turns downward, you can only know who is swimming naked.
Cao Xiu is almost the same as swimming naked now.
The guys who were originally following him sneaked away at first, but when they arrived, they fled in groups, and even formed tramplings on some narrow roadbeds, and some people were squeezed into the water, ditch, and fields.
Li Er and his men also began to expel and kill on the periphery.
The number of people is no longer the most important indicator to measure victory or defeat.
Even if Li Er dispersed the cavalry into a team of more than a dozen people, no one dared to turn back and fight, it was like cutting melons and vegetables.
Cao Xiu looked indifferently, then sighed quietly, "You...you can go too."
"Master!" The remaining guards looked at each other, "Master, won't you leave together?"
Cao Xiu looked up at the sky.
The bright sky light began to become gorgeous.
Blue sky, white clouds.
The distant mountains are as dark as dark.
Cao Xiu suddenly laughed and turned around, "I have suffered! Today's things have come to this point, so I won't be able to follow you all the way. Fortunately! Fortunately!"
"However, the banquet that has ended all over the world is now at a time of separation!"
Cao Xiu smiled and said, bowing deeply to the remaining guards, "Don't be ashamed of you! I had previously agreed to you for your wealth and future, but now... I will receive a bow!"
These guards quickly avoided them.
However, Cao Xiu bowed three times meticulously, worshiping loyalty, friendship, and even the promises he failed to fulfill.
"Master! Let's go together!"
The guard persuaded.
Cao Xiu shook his head, "If Xiu walked together, no one would be able to leave! Leave quickly!"
After saying that, Cao Xiu turned around and stopped looking at the guards behind him.
The guards hesitated and looked at each other. After a moment of pause, some people moved their steps secretly, but some people were still standing still.
The Hussar cavalry in the distance gradually moved closer, but worried that there would be traps around Cao Xiu, so he did not immediately attack but began to detect and surround.
Seeing this situation, the guards who were standing still left two or three more times. When Cao Xiu looked back again, basically all the people behind him ran away, and only the last three guards were left.
"you……"
Cao Xiu looked over one by one, then tears suddenly came from his eyes and his voice choked.
He held the coffin for thousands of miles, but did not shed tears when he encountered high mountains and dangerous waters.
When I was young, when I was bullied because of my loss of my father, I also did not shed tears.
Over the years, when fighting on the battlefield, I didn't cry when I was injured and bleeding...
But when Cao Xiu looked at the guards beside him, he burst into tears.
An older guard smiled and said, "Master, I am old and can't walk far away. Why not just accompany the Master here... The scenery here is very beautiful... Haha, even if you arrive on the road to the underworld, you will still have a companion!"
Cao Xiu also laughed, tears rolling down his cheeks, "Okay! Now there is no general who is not in charge. He is a brother in this life, and he will be a brother in the next life! Today, he will be accompanied by three brothers, and He Mutian Heng is 500 soldiers?!"
At this moment, Li Er had already surrounded him with his men.
『Come and fight!』
Cao Xiu was still bold and held a bloody battle knife to invite Li Er to fight.
Li Er shook his head and signaled his subordinates to raise the crossbow, "Success! Otherwise, he will be killed immediately!"
Cao Xiu laughed and rushed forward with a knife.
The last three guards behind Cao Xiu also rushed forward.
One master, three subordinates.
It seems to bring out endless murderous aura on the battlefield.
Li Er waved his hand and "Cum!"
Arrows roared.
Cao Xiu and others had incomplete armor and were close to each other, so they could not resist the arrows at all. They were shot continuously, as if they were hit on the invisible air wall, and their momentum of running was suddenly stumbled.
『Hmph...』 Cao Xiu looked down at the arrow piercing his chest and abdomen, and sneered at Li Er, "The coward... is not worthy of someone... the head on his neck!"
After saying that, Cao Xiu turned his sword back and committed suicide.
Cao Xiu's guards also followed Cao Xiu to commit suicide and fell to the ground one after another.
Li Er looked at it, was silent for a long time before he ordered: "I've been restrained... I'm also considered a hero...
Then a Hussar soldiers responded and stepped forward to lift the bodies of Cao Xiu and others up and put them on the horse's back, and then took them to the city of Anyi.
I didn't go up and cut my head directly, nor did I drag it with a rope like a dead dog.
The blood stained the horse's back and sprinkled all the way.
Li Er looked at Cao Xiu's body and frowned slightly.
Cao Xiu is dead, but this matter...
It's somewhat weird.
The sound was so loud last night that it seemed like it was about to turn Anyi City over, but after dawn, it collapsed!
This land in Hedong is far from as stable as he thought!
I don’t know how many people with ulterior motives seem to be respectful on the surface, but whenever they have the chance, they become murderers!
Hedong was plundered by Cao Cao, and they were still restless overnight. If Cao's army had not taken those people away...
No, maybe Cao's army took away ordinary people but left some spies?
Now Wen Si should be busy!
It’s not right. Not only the Wenshu Department, but also the Inspection Office, don’t think about living a quiet life!
In this case, when will it be the end?
After all, you can be guarded for a while, but it is difficult to guard for a lifetime!
Li Er sighed, as if he had foreseeed the scene where he would be so busy that he would be so busy that he would be touching his head.
When he arrived at the city of Anyi, Li Er met Xun Chen, who had been guarding the city, and unexpectedly met Cao Xiu's son Cao Zhao!
When Cao Zhao saw Cao Xiu's body, he screamed, then jumped around and cried, but he didn't have the courage to come forward to hug his father's body.
Everyone looked at Cao Zhao, but after watching for a while, they didn't want to watch it anymore.
It is actually not difficult to tell whether it is really sad or crying for others to see.
Just like in later generations, I waited for the old man to die before he was able to do a big drum. I invited some mourning teams and brasses to join the monks and Taoists, but I was unwilling to cook two more meals that the old man could eat when he was still alive, and sit with the old man to bask in the sun and chat...
A father is a hero, but a child may not be a hero.
Li Er suddenly realized that this is the way to solve the problem!
By the way, it's like the Southern Huns!
Isn’t this the same for the previous generation of the Southern Xiongnu people?
If you lift a knife, you can go south to rob the Han people fiercely, and jump off your horse and become an honest shepherd.
Didn’t it also mean that the big man could do nothing?
But what about now?
They are all shepherds!
They are all honestly taking care of the animals for General Husband!
So what is the problem in Hedong now?
Just Mu's side, it was just that he had changed from Mu Nan Xiongnu to Mu's powerful gentry and other powerful men!
Li Er no longer worried, so he raised his head and looked at Xun Chen, but saw Xun Chen also turning his eyes to him.
The two of them had their eyes intertwined in the air, as if they both saw confidence and firmness in each other's eyes, and then nodded to each other.
The sun rises and golden light is everywhere.
The originally bright blood gradually solidified and turned purple-brown.
The flames that rose last night were now some black smoke left, gradually dissipating.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal, and everything was like returning to the human world from a ghost.
Chapter completed!
