Suo Chao led his troops to surround Cai Mansion and wanted to question Cai Mao and ask him to hand over his family. Otherwise, the Cai family will be slaughtered with blood.
And Cai Hao was resentful of Suo Chao for the murder of his eldest son, and wanted to eat him alive. Now that Suo Chao came to his door, how could Cai Hao endure it? So with the help of the maid, Cai Hao endured his injuries and walked out.
Seeing Suo Chao roaring in front of the door, Cai Hao became angry and shouted directly at Chen Kuo: "Chen Kuo, why are you still standing there? Why don't you take action to capture Suo Chao? If you don't take action, believe it or not, I will treat you as Suo Chao." Chao¡¯s accomplices, and then kill them together!¡±
Chen Kuo¡¯s face was full of helplessness. He and Suo Chao were on good terms and were very good buddies. How could they meet each other, let alone capture them?
Chen Kuo looked at Cai Mao, cupped his hands and said: "Master Cai, I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. I know Suo Chao very well. Although he is impatient, he is by no means an indiscriminate murderer of innocent people! Sir, there must be some misunderstanding here. , it must be the work of some villain. He wants to see the master and Master Suo fight, so that the fisherman can benefit. Now our Daming Mansion is in danger and is threatened by the bandit army. We must not fight in the nest! Fighting in the nest will only make us worse. If you bring misfortune to your own people and make the enemy happy, sir, please be more careful!"
Cai Mao coughed, his face turned ugly, and shouted: "Chen Kuo, are you a soldier of my Cai Mansion, or a member of Suo Chao? You actually helped Suo Chao speak and ignored my words. How could I Spare you! I'll say it again, do you take action? If not, then don't blame me for being rude, I'll watch you capture him together!"
Chen Kuo knelt down and called out: "Sir"
At this time, Suo Chao sneered and said to Chen Kuo: "Old Chen, don't persuade this faint-hearted official. He has long wanted to kill me. How could he let me go? Cai Mao, I tell you, please send my family to the hospital as soon as possible." Come out, or I¡¯ll make you look good!¡±
"Make me look good?" Cai Hao laughed angrily: "Haha, you killed my son, how do you want me to look good? Do you want to kill me? Suo Chao, let me tell you, no one can save you today! I I must kill you! Avenge my son!"
Suo Chao snorted: "I didn't kill your son at all. Your son was lustful and deserved to die. I don't know which hero is killing harm for the people. It's really satisfying! Haha"
As soon as these words came out, Cai Hao was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Suo Chao and shouted: "Come here, come here, kill me, kill Suo Chao!"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. . . The guards rushed out and surrounded Suo Chao and the soldiers.
These guards are all experts in the Forbidden Army. Cai Hao specially selected them from the Forbidden Army to protect his own safety. Basically, they play the role of one against three, and they are extremely fierce. They surrounded Suo Chao and the soldiers, like hungry wolves surrounding a lamb. The soldiers were so frightened that they gathered together and faced each other cautiously. Although scared, none of these soldiers surrendered.
But Suo Chao was so unafraid, he hummed: "You want to fight? Who is afraid of whom! I, Suo Chao, have never been afraid of anyone! Cai Hao, let me ask you one last question, will you let my family go! If you let me go, My family, I will leave now and pretend that nothing happened, and I will defend the city for you with peace of mind. But if you don¡¯t let me go, then don¡¯t blame me for being rude!"
Cai Mao shouted: "Let them go? Let your mother go! It's a pity that your family is not in my hands. If they were in my hands, I would cut them into pieces and kill them alive in front of you. Let you know, What is the pain of losing a loved one!"
"You are looking for death!" Suo Chao glared angrily and roared, then the copper hammer in his hand rose up and rolled down like a force splitting Huashan Mountain. The guard in front of him didn't react, so he was hit directly. I saw his head exploded, blood, flesh and brains splattered all around, extremely bloody.
Then, Suo Chao roared angrily and swung the copper hammer.
Cai Hao was so frightened that he was sweating all over. He hurriedly wiped the blood on his face, then hurriedly retreated, and then shouted to the guards: "Go up, go up, go up, kill me, kill me, execute Suo Chao on the spot. Kill them on the spot! As long as those soldiers dare to resist, they are all guilty of the same crime, and they will be killed, killed, killed"
As soon as the order was given, the guards waved their swords and guns and started fighting.
Suo Chao was like a fierce god coming out of the sea of ??blood. He held up a bronze hammer, roared and started fighting, beating the guards back steadily, making it difficult to compete. However, guards kept appearing in the Cai Mansion, blocking Suo Chao's bravery.
Although Suo Chao is powerful, the soldiers around him are very dangerous. Their martial arts skills were not as good as those of the Imperial Guards, and a lot of casualties resulted from the fighting.
A fierce battle broke out in front of the Cai Mansion. Swords and guns roared, blood splattered, and the killing was endless.
But as the fighting progresses, SuoThe disadvantage of one side gradually became apparent. There are only a few of them, and their martial arts skills are not good. How can they compare with the elite imperial guards? In the end, only Suo Chao and a dozen soldiers were left struggling to hold on.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, one of the soldiers shouted: "General, you retreat first, leaving Qingshan alone without fear of running out of firewood. You retreat first, and you can avenge us later!"
"Yes, General, you retreat first, be sure to rescue my sister-in-law, and then avenge us, kill Cai Mao, and eliminate a scourge for the people of Daming Mansion!" Other soldiers also shouted.
Suo Chao¡¯s eyes were red and he fought desperately, shouting: ¡°If I don¡¯t leave, our brothers will live and die together!¡±
Seeing that Suo Chao and the soldiers could no longer hold on, Ximen Qing took action decisively.
He drew out his short halberd and started bombarding from behind. His short halberd was like the sickle of the god of death. Every time it touched the body of a guard, it would kill a dozen of them. In a short time, as many as a dozen guards died in Ximen Qing's hands.
The appearance of Ximen Qing gave Suo Chao and the soldiers hope.
Suo Chao shouted: "Thank you so much for saving me. If Suo Chao survives, I will repay you with my life!"
Ximen Qing laughed loudly and said: "Brother Suo's words are strange! I admire the name of Brother Suo! These guards are willing to be the lackeys of a faint official and should be killed!"
After saying that, Ximen Qing ran "Walking on the Snow without Traces", and the short halberd in his hand was wreaking havoc. For a moment, Ximen Qing's figure turned into an afterimage, making it difficult for the guards to catch him. What's even more frightening is that Ximen Qing's short halberd is extremely sharp. As long as it touches the body of the guard, it will cut deep and long blood marks, and the location of these blood marks is still in important parts of the human body. Therefore, as long as Ximen Qing's halberd is struck, the guards will not die and will have no fighting power. They will lie on the ground and mourn.
In a short time, Ximen Qing killed more guards than Suo Chao and all the soldiers.
Seeing how fierce Ximen Qing was, Cai Mansion¡¯s soldiers rushed out even more crazily, like ants.
Seeing that this was not an option, Ximen Qing turned to Suo Chao and shouted to the soldiers: "Brother Suo, fellow soldiers, stop fighting and leave quickly!"
The soldiers nodded and then retreated while fighting.
"But Suo Chao is so jealous, how can he be willing to leave?"
Ximen Qing came to Suo Chao, grabbed Suo Chao's arm, and said: "Brother Suo, let's go, don't be obsessed with fighting. If we don't leave, there will be too many guards, and we won't be able to leave!"
Suo Chao shook his head and said: "I won't leave, I must rescue my wife and children. Even if I die, I will rescue them!"
Ximen Qing said: "Brother Suo, your wife and children are not in Cai Mansion. I know where they are!"
"What? You know? How is this possible? How do you know?" Suo Chao asked eagerly.
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Brother Suo, believe me, come with me, let's leave here, I will tell you the details, how about it?"
Suo Chao nodded and said: "Brother saved my life, I naturally believe you! Okay, let's go!"
Immediately, the two of them stood up bravely, killed several guards, and fled quickly. Although the guards behind them chased after them, the speed of the two of them was too fast and they disappeared from the sight of the guards after a while.
After learning that Suo Chao had been rescued by the mysterious man, Cai Hao was so angry that he vomited blood. He immediately ordered his guards to pursue them quickly, even if they had to dig up the ground three feet to find out the whereabouts of Suo Chao and his family, and then kill them all quickly.
Ximen Qing and Suo Chao came to a remote corner and stopped.
Suo Chao clasped his fists and asked: "Thank you brother for saving your life. I wonder what your name is? Also, brother said that he knows the news about my wife and children, but I don't know where they are? Please tell me so that I can reunite with my family." !¡±
Ximen Qing said: "I'm Ximen Qing!"
When Suo Chao heard this, he was startled. He unconsciously took two steps back and said, "You are the Righteous Emperor! Ximen Qing, the commander of Liangshan? Why are you here?"
Ximen Qing explained: "It's not because Brother Suo Chao is clinging to Daming Mansion, making it difficult for our army to break through, so I came here in person, hoping to persuade Brother Suo Chao to give up defending the city."
"So, you started the fire in Kuxu?" Suo Chao said with a tight frown.
Ximen Qing nodded and said, "I let it go. I learned that there was a rift between Brother Suo and Cai Mao, and it was because of the library needs, so I set fire to the library needs, hoping that Brother Suo would fall out with Cai Mao."
Suo Chao smiled bitterly and said: "I have long heard that Emperor Yi was very resourceful, and now it seems that it is true. Then you also killed Cai Hao's son?"
Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I killed him. After you and Cai Hao finished arguing, Cai Hao sent his guards to kill your family."Fortunately, I arrived in time to rescue them and put them in place. Then I sneaked into Cai Mansion and killed Cai Ying. "
Suo Chao said: "Hey, Commander, you've done me a terrible job!"
Although he knew Ximen Qing was plotting against him, Suo Chao just couldn't get angry. In any case, Ximen Qing saved his life and his family.
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Brother Suo Chao, without this fire, Cai Hao would also attack you. It is only a matter of time. I admire Brother Suo's character, so I want to invite Brother Suo to Liangshan to discuss important matters! Nowadays, wars are raging in the Song Dynasty. , the national treasure has been treacherously occupied by Zhao Yunluo. For the sake of the prosperity of the country, I beg Brother Suo to come up to the mountain and gather together for righteousness! I wonder what Brother Suo wants?"
Suo Chao hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have long heard that many heroes have gone to Liangshan. I have always wanted to see them. Now that something like this has happened, I can't leave without leaving. Well, I am willing to go to Liangshan. I am willing to go to Liangshan." Be a pawn for the commander¡¯s men!¡±
Ximen Qing laughed loudly and said: "With Brother Suo joining the team, our Liangshan strength will rise to another level. Haha, Brother Suo, I will take you to find your sister-in-law!"
"Okay!" Suo Chao nodded quickly.
????¡ª¡ª
Ximen Qing took Suo Chao around seven times and finally arrived at the courtyard where Suo Chao's family was accommodated. When they entered, they saw Suo Chao's wife having dinner with her children in the courtyard. Seeing Suo Chao, Wang covered her face and cried. Then she and her children threw themselves into Suo Chao's arms and burst into tears. Suo Chao also had tears on his face and hugged Wang and his children tightly. A tough man also has a tender side.
After a while, several people calmed down.
Afterwards, Suo Chao, Wang and their children knelt down and said to Ximen Qing: "Thank you so much for saving my life!"
Ximen Qing hurriedly helped a few people up, and then said with a smile: "Brother Suo, this gift is too big! I can't bear it!"
Suo Chao said: "Commander, you must accept this gift. Not only did you save my life, but you also saved my family. Your kindness to us is like reincarnation."
Ximen Qing said: "Okay, I'll accept your bows, that's it! Don't be too polite after the bows, otherwise I will be embarrassed to stay here!"
Suo Chao smiled and said: "Haha, that's good, we won't be pretentious anymore!"
At this time, Mrs. Wang said: "I guess your husband and your benefactor are both hungry. I'll go make some food for you. You two can talk here!" After saying that, she took a pair of children into the room.
Ximen Qing and Suo Chao gave up, and Suo Chao asked: "Commander, since I have planned to surrender to Liangshan, I will naturally help Liangshan capture Daming Mansion. But now I am being hunted by Cai Mao, and I will be discovered if I show my face. You see How should we act?¡±
Ximen Qing thought for a moment, and then said: "Brother Suo, how many of the generals guarding the city are your confidants, and only your orders are obeyed?"
Suo Chao said: "Sixty percent! The other 40% are Cai Hao's confidants. Cai Hao has not been the prefect for a long time, so his tentacles have not yet touched all the generals, and they have not been cleaned out yet."
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "That's easy! Let's go, brother Suo, let's set out at night. You go find those close generals and persuade them to surrender to Liangshan. If they are willing, then we will start immediately and open the city. How about welcoming the Liangshan army into the city?"
Suo Chao nodded and said: "I think it's okay. If I lobby them, they will definitely agree. But after Liangshan's army enters the city, Cai Mao's trusted generals will definitely send soldiers to stop them. If they fight like this, wouldn't it be chaotic? By then, It¡¯s not good to hurt soldiers who are willing to surrender!¡±
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Brother Suo is all about meticulousness! In fact, it's easy to handle. Just let the soldiers who are willing to surrender tie a red handkerchief on their left arm. Isn't that enough?"
Suo Chao said: "Okay, let's do it this way, then I will lobby them at night!"
Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Then I will go out of the city and discuss the details with Lin Chong and the others first, so that it will be easier to fight!"
"Okay! Then you have to be careful too!" Suo Chao responded.
Afterwards, the two of them had some food and went into the room to rest.
At midnight, the sky was as dark as ink. Ximen Qing and Suo Chao each wore night clothes and walked out of the small courtyard. On the street, it was obvious that many soldiers were searching for Suo Chao. And in the military camp, there were also a large number of guards patrolling, trying to find Suo Chao and hunt him down.
Ximen Qing told Suo Chao to be careful, and the two separated.
Ximen Qing carefully sneaked out of the city and returned to the Liangshan military tent. After learning that Ximen Qing was back, Lin Chong and Li Kui, who were resting, quickly put on their clothes and then came to the Chinese army camp to discuss.
General Ximen Qing explained in detail what happened after he entered the city. After hearing this, Lin Chong and Li Kui bothHe looked surprised and then gave a thumbs up.
Lin Chong said: "I thought Tieniu and I had been attacking the city for more than half a month, but not only were we ineffective, but we wasted too much time and energy. Now that the commander-in-chief took action, it took less than two days to win over Suo Chao and make him willing to surrender. The Daming Mansion is immediately at your fingertips. Oh, a commander is a commander, I really admire him!"
Li Kui also scratched his head and said: "You are really good at using tactics. It seems that I, Tieniu, have to learn to use tactics too! When I return to Liangshan, I will borrow books like Guan Sheng and learn from him to study every night!"
"What book can I borrow?" Ximen Qing asked curiously.
Li Kui chuckled and said: "Spring and Autumn!"
Ximen Qing rolled his eyes and almost fell to the ground.
Later, Ximen Qing told Lin Chong and Li Kui the plan, asking them to pay attention and wait for his fireworks signal at any time, and asked them to inform every soldier not to kill anyone who mistakenly identifies them after entering the city.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the sky is dark, Ximen Qing gets up and leaves the camp, and enters the Daming Mansion again.
When we returned to the small courtyard, Suo Chao was already back. Seeing Ximen Qing's return, Suo Chao said with a face of surprise: "Commander, fortunately I have fulfilled my duty and have convinced the six-level generals. They are all ready to submit to Liangshan. They are all ready and waiting for your order! Look, when will we take action? ah?"
Ximen Qing was overjoyed, and then he thought for a moment and said, "Since everything is ready, let's do it tonight and wait another hundred days. What do you think?"
Suo Chao nodded and said: "Okay, of course it's no problem! But we can't live in this place anymore, Cai Hao's guards will search here soon!"
Ximen Qing said: "Then let's leave here. By the way, for the sake of safety, let my sister-in-law and the others stay here. If my sister-in-law puts on makeup and pretends to be a peasant woman in this family, she will definitely hide her. If my sister-in-law and the children follow us, they may More dangerous!"
Suo Chao said: "The commander is right, I asked them to stay here honestly. By the way, where should we hide?"
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said: "Daming Mansion is so big, can't it hide the two of us? Of course, the most wonderful place is Cai Mansion. Cai Mansion is the best, hehe .¡±
"Cai Mansion?" Suo Chao's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately geared up, his face full of excitement: "Go to Cai Mansion! Let's take Daming Mansion tonight. Before taking Daming Mansion, let's take care of Cai Mao first. He is a big hidden danger and must be eliminated! Hehe"
