- Chapter 198: Shocking China
These joking words made Cao Ren furious. His pale face turned red. He wanted to curse loudly to vent the anger in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't even utter half a word besides squeaking. Not coming out.
Because he no longer has a tongue.
The cavalry continued to move forward.
This cavalry pretending to be Cao's army, under the banner of Jiangling's defeated army, rushed all the way to the north. At first, they could encounter scattered soldiers fleeing north, but after they passed Dangyang, it was hard to see them anymore. The shadow of the collapse.
The reason is as analyzed by Pang Tong: Cao's army was defeated in the battle of Jiangling, and all the armies and battalions fled in all directions. For a while, no one discovered that their leader Cao Ren had fallen into the enemy's hands.
Man Chong, who was responsible for rescuing the Liang Camp, learned that the Jiangling Camp had fallen, and used the Liang Camp as a stronghold to collect the defeated troops who fled from the south. Because the defeat happened so quickly, Man Chong did not know whether Cao Ren was alive or dead, so in this situation, all he could do was to gather the defeated troops, wait for Cao Ren to come and join him, and then discuss together whether to retreat or defend.
At this time, Man Chong still didn¡¯t know that a cavalry pretending to be his own defeated army had successfully crossed his defense area and headed straight for Xiangyang, and the general who conquered the south that Man Chong had been waiting for was actually among them.
Even if Man Chong saw through Liu Feng's plan, it would not help. How could he rush back to Xiangyang City to report the news ahead of this cavalry, which was advancing three hundred miles a day?
The journey was smooth, and at noon the next day, Liu Feng finally saw the majestic outline of Xiangyang City.
At this moment, Hu Xiu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, stood at the top of the city, enduring the warm and then cold wind in early spring, patrolling the city.
Hu Xiu rubbed his face hard, which was as cold as armor. The biting cold wind blew on his skin, causing pain like a knife.
Hu Xiu doesn¡¯t like the cold and humid weather in the south. At this time, he prefers to stay in the north, wrapped up tightly and huddled around the stove to keep warm.
Maybe it¡¯s because he¡¯s getting older. The older a person is, the more he likes to be at ease. Hu Xiu prefers to be the governor in Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou. At least he doesn¡¯t have to worry about it all day long, and he also personally patrols the city in such a cold weather.
There was no other way. When General Cao Ren, the general of the southern expedition, heard that there was chaos in Jiangling in the south, he felt as if he had been given blood. No matter how he tried to persuade him, it was of no use. He immediately mobilized all the troops in Xiangyang, leading an army of tens of thousands with murderous intent. He rushed to Jiangling to kill him, saying that he wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.
At this moment, the city of Xiangyang was completely empty, with only two thousand available troops. Although Cao Ren's army was facing the front due to the south, and Wenpin was on the Han River to stop the Wu people, Xiangyang seemed to have no hidden worries.
However, Hu Xiu still didn't dare to be vague. He had no choice. This was the most important nail that Prime Minister Cao stuck in the south. The enemies at the front and on the left and right were not a bunch of fuel-efficient lamps, and they could not tolerate him being careless.
When Cao Ren left, he originally boasted that he could capture Jiangling in a few days by going to Haikou, but now more than ten days have passed, and Jiangling City is still standing. Hu Xiu received documents from Cao Ren to urge food supplies almost every day. The documents, one after another, looked like It was like a reminder, making Hu Xiu restless.
"My lord, there is a lot of dust and smoke coming due south, and it seems that a large number of people are coming towards Xiangyang." The accompanying general pointed to the south and shouted.
Hu Xiu's heart was shocked. He was so quick-witted that he put up his hand on the awning and stared southward. Sure enough, at the end of the south road, he saw a circuitous black thin line looking toward Xiangyang. In the sky all around, dust was flying like fog.
The cavalry is a cavalry
Hu Xiu, an experienced man, knew who was coming as soon as he saw this, and shouted hurriedly: "Pass my order, lower the suspension bridge, close the four gates, and the whole army will board the city to prepare for battle."
As soon as the order was issued, the entire Xiangyang City was immediately shrouded in the clouds of war. Groups of soldiers immediately left the military camp and rushed to the city to prepare.
Seeing such a situation, the civilians in the city knew that something was going to happen. They were frightened, and the shops closed their stalls and the doors were closed. Within a short time, the bustling market was deserted, and it was deathly quiet, except for the occasional few. Apart from a wild dog scurrying by, not a single human figure could be seen.
On the top of the city, Hu Xiu was holding a big sword, his eyes heavy, watching the rushing team getting closer and closer with uneasiness.
The wind and sand rustled on the handle of the knife, and the cold wind blew into the knife's surface. When Hu Xiu saw the true appearance of the army clearly, he couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air and shivered involuntarily, forcing him to tighten his armor instinctively.
That was a large-scale cavalry, with a rough estimate of about a thousand people. Although the number is not large, it is already a large number for the expensive cavalry.
The fog is flying, and I still can¡¯t see clearly.The flag was raised by the cavalry, but after the initial surprise, Hu Xiu felt a little relieved.
Hu Xiu knew that there were no horses in the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it was the Wu people, Liu Bei, or Liu Feng, who had risen at a miraculous speed, it would be extremely difficult for them to piece together a cavalry of this size. No one in the Jingzhou area could do this. Only Cao Ren.
However, General Zhengnan is currently besieging Jiangling, why did his cavalry appear in Xiangyang? And that¡¯s without any advance ward meetings.
Hu Xiu was suspicious in his heart, so he could only suppress his suspicion for the time being and wait and see.
The horses' hooves were flying and they were moving like the wind. After a moment, the cavalry was approaching the city.
This time Hu Xiu finally saw clearly that these cavalrymen were all in their own attire, whether in armor or flags. Looking carefully, many of them were disheveled, and some even had the long weapons used by the cavalry. None, it seems that he came back from a defeat.
When the defenders on the city saw that they were their brothers, their nervousness immediately relaxed, and their bows and arrows that were already strung were also unstrung.
"The whole army is on alert, don't let down your guard," Hu Xiu shouted, making the soldiers who were originally relaxed become alert again.
Hu Xiu is worthy of being a veteran and well-informed. As a civil servant, although he has not fought any tough battles, he has seen a lot of pretending to be the enemy and earning money from the city.
What he saw was clearly his own army, but without knowing the authenticity, Hu Xiu had no reason to relax.
As he was shouting, a group of cavalry came on the wind, carrying dust like a sandstorm, and arrived in front of the moat. They shouted to open the door across a ditch.
"Whose subordinates are you? Why did you come to Xiangyang all of a sudden?" Hu Xiu was getting stronger, his voice was loud, and he went straight to the city.
The noisy cavalry quickly calmed down, and a road automatically opened in front of the city gate. Several cavalry were seen crossing and walking to the moat. One of them shouted: "General Zhengnan is here, why don't you open the city gate quickly?"
General Zhengnan? Cao Ren is back?
Hu Xiu was a little surprised. He stretched his neck and looked down, shouting: "Where is General Zhengnan?"
A middle-aged general who described himself as exhausted slowly walked forward with the support of his left and right. The young cavalryman who looked like a pro-military man next to him shouted: "General Zhengnan is here, have you been blinded? What else do you ask? Ask, please open the city gate quickly?"
The soldiers spoke vulgarly, and because they were Cao Ren's subordinates, they spoke harshly to him. Hu Xiu didn't think it was strange. He took a closer look and saw that the man was indeed Cao Ren, but his face was extremely ugly, and he was half-lying on the horse without saying a word. .
"Isn't General Cao besieging Jiangling? Why did he suddenly return to the army without informing his subordinates in advance?"
Hu Xiu didn¡¯t have too many doubts, he was just curious, so he asked again subconsciously.
Before Cao Ren could answer, the young knight next to him said: "We were attacked by the enemy in Jiangling. General Zhengnan was injured, so I can't talk to you. Why don't you open the city gate quickly and call the best doctor to treat General Cao?" hurt."
It turns out that Cao Ren returned in defeat.
Hu Xiu was startled, and thought that it was no wonder that Cao Ren had such a virtuous expression. He left with the intention of winning, but he was defeated and returned injured.
Although Hu Xiu felt sorry for Cao Ren's defeat, recalling his original advice to Cao Ren, he immediately felt a little proud in his heart.
Not daring to hesitate any longer, Hu Xiu shouted urgently: "Hurry, open the city gate quickly and welcome the return of General Zhengnan."
" Such an order was equivalent to the lifting of combat readiness, and the soldiers' mood suddenly relaxed.
As the suspension bridge slowly lowered, the solid city gate slowly opened. The cavalry crossed the moat and galloped into Xiangyang City as if in a hurry.
That impregnable and impenetrable door was opened.
I ran for two days and two nights just for this moment.
Liu Feng¡¯s lips curled up, and a murderous smile flashed across his face.
"Keep an eye on him, let's go up." Liu Feng pushed Cao Ren aside, who had his tongue cut out and couldn't speak a word, unloaded his heavy gun, and rode straight into Xiangyang.
The dusty cavalry passed through the huge doorway with excitement. The guards who opened the door even bowed slightly to salute them and welcome them into the city.
To be precise, they were welcoming the return of Cao Ren, the general who conquered the south, but the guards were surprised to find that General Cao Ren did not seem to be the first to enter the city.
The moment the prancing horse entered Xiangyang City, Liu Feng had an illusion of enlightenment, as if at this moment, he had found a brand new world.
Facing us, an old official came up to us with a smile.??Liu Feng vaguely remembered that this person was the person who was talking to him on the top of the city. Although Liu Feng didn't know him, he was probably either the governor of Jingzhou or the prefect of Xiangyang or something.
"General Cao, I'm going to lower my rank"
Hu Xiu planned to welcome Cao Ren's arrival, but found out strangely that Cao Ren did not enter first and ran at the front. Instead, beside Cao Ren was the soldier who had just shouted to him.
Just as he was raising his head, trying to find Cao Ren's shadow in the crowd behind him, he suddenly discovered that the soldier knight was running straight towards him without stopping, dragging his silver spear in his hand.
A flash of terror flashed through my heart for a moment.
"you¡ª¡ª"
Before he even uttered a word, Liu Feng had already passed by him. As his arms shook, the sharp spear tip lightly passed through Hu Xiu's neck.
The old body of the governor of Jingzhou swayed, and he fell to the ground on his back. His throat had been cut, and his blood flowed out like water from a bursting embankment.
"kill"
A thousand cavalrymen, like wolves with their sheep's clothing torn off, immediately showed their ferocious eyes and charged towards the terrified soldiers of Cao Cao.
In the spring of that year, General Liu Feng of Zhennan beheaded Guan Yu, captured Cao Ren, attacked Jiangling, defeated Xiangyang, and shocked China. .
