    Angrily, he saw that Song Ding, who had repeatedly persuaded him to evacuate, was now standing in front of him calmly and calmly.  Mi Zhu, who was once confident, suddenly turned red on her fat face, and said with shame: "Marquis Song, thank you for coming. I regret not listening to what you said earlier!"

    Song Ding just smiled slightly, stepped forward and made a simple hand gesture to Mi Zhu.  He said calmly: "Master Mi made a serious statement. It is important to evacuate. If we have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back!"

    After saying that, he waved to the soldiers who followed him.  Next to him is the well used by the servants in the backyard every day.  In shock, Mi Zhu and the soldiers climbed down the well along the well rope that had been knotted at the well mouth.

    Just halfway down the deep well, a horizontal hole appeared there.  Several strong men were there to help the people who slipped down from the well.  Walking in the narrow tunnel, no one in the Mi family spoke, and everyone was shocked.

    The people of Jiangnan Army were so powerful that they opened a tunnel in their own yard without even realizing it.  Although the tunnel dug in a hurry is not wide, it can barely allow a person to walk half-crawling with his body hunched over.

    But what if there is enough time?  Fortunately, this was to rescue the Mi family and others. If it had been any other time, these people would have come up from this tunnel with ulterior motives.  The Mi family was caught off guard and might suffer a big loss.

    Everyone who entered the tunnel and moved quickly was equally grateful that the Mi family did not have to be the enemy of the Jiangnan Army.

    After everyone who followed Mi Zhu got out of the tunnel, the two Xinghuo camp scouts who were behind did not know what tricks they used.

    The thick rope that everyone used when going down the well immediately fell from the well mouth without leaving any trace.

    An hour later, in the hall of Mi Mansion.  Xia Hou, who had arrived to take charge personally, was furiously poking at the foreheads of his generals standing in a row and cursing angrily.  A single eye radiated a frightening fierce light.

    "You, you losers, you are still elites who have fought with me! So many people wiped out the rabble, but the main criminal escaped without a trace! Tell me, where did this go wrong?  !¡±

    Xia Hou's anger at this time was not just directed at Mi Zhu, who was destined to win, but disappeared without a trace.  What's more important is losing face to outsiders.  As Xia Hou's most trusted subordinate, of course he understood why his general was angry.

    Military Marquis Chu Dan glanced at Cao Chun, the leader of the Leopard Cavalry, who stood quietly aside and watched the joke.  But he didn't dare to challenge the lord's younger brother, the brave Leopard Cavalry commander.

    He could only report to his general: "General, please calm down. Our army had completely surrounded the Mi family before attacking. Moreover, we only launched a general attack after confirming that their family leader was still surrounded. According to my subordinates, he must  Still hiding in this mansion!¡±

    "Humph, while you are still in the mansion, don't you see that the soldiers have turned this Mi mansion upside down? Where can he, Mi Zizhong, a living person, escape to heaven and earth? Hey, that's right. Could it be that he really  Did you go to the ground?"

    Chu Dan, the military commander, lost no time and said: "The general is wise, so it must be like this! The Mi family seems to have rebelled long ago, and they actually built a tunnel for their own family early! Otherwise, how could they disappear without a trace when surrounded by the army?  !

    The general quickly ordered his brothers to search the Mi Mansion carefully again.  Focus on searching the entrance to the secret passage and see if you can find out the direction Mi Zhu escaped!  It would be best to arrange some strong people at the same time to dig three feet into the Mi Mansion.  "

    Of course the experienced Chu Dan knew that an hour had passed.  If the Mi family's secret passage leads outside the city, then they are probably already far away and it would be impossible to catch them.  It can only be said that it is to save some energy for the brothers and withdraw the troops as soon as possible.

    "However, if this secret passage cannot lead directly to the outside of the city, and the whole city is blocked, Mi Zhu may still be captured and he may be able to make up for his mistakes."  After finding the direction of things, Xia Hou would certainly not let go of this only possibility.

    Mi Mansion, which had just calmed down, immediately turned into a construction site.  Those Mi family members and soldiers who were still alive were all brought in for questioning again.  As long as it is said that people who do not know that there is a secret passage in the house will be directly assigned tools.

    Started the heavy physical labor of digging three feet into the entire Mi Mansion.  According to Lord Zhou Mu's request, these captured Mi family members must dig hidden tunnels in Mi Mansion before they can be released.

    At the time when everyone in the Mi family, under the supervision of Cao Jun's sharp swords and guns, was digging like treasure on the flat ground, they were in full swing.  A guard came hurriedly with an order from outside the mansion: "Report! Master Zhou Mu, the head of the Cao family, Cao Bao, and others are here!"

    Xia Hou, who used his one-eyed supervisor to supervise the work, glanced at Cao Chun before nodding: "Go and take them in and walk around, let them take a closer look. If they dare to do it in the future,The tens of thousands of people who rebelled against the lord Mi's family were the fate of the aristocratic families!  "

    This time, the Cao Bao family who was about to be the first family in Xuzhou and many small and medium-sized aristocratic families were specially summoned.  Before showing off his cards to them, Xia Hou of course had to take advantage of the miserable situation of the Mi family in front of him to strike a chord in advance.

    "Lest these aristocratic families who only care about their own family interests get confused again when they encounter similar situations in the future.

    A dozen streets away from Mi Mansion, which is relatively far away, in a quiet private house near the city gate, people who escaped from Mi's family are gathering here.

    After crawling out of the tunnel, the Mi family realized that this tunnel was not very long.  The exit was in the utility room of a house not far from Mi Mansion.  Under the leadership of Song Ding, they quickly moved here while the Cao army patrolling the city passed by.

    At this time, most of Cao's troops in the city were focused on Mi Mansion.  Cao Jun, who already had insufficient troops, would naturally not send people to search the entire city.  In order to dispatch patrols in the city, Cao Jun's cooks were equipped with weapons and dispatched together.

    Looking at the mansion still surrounded by fireworks from a distance, Mi Zhu's face was filled with sadness and she was about to cry.  The shouts of killing in the mansion have subsided, and those family servants loyal to the Mi family are almost dead under the attack of the elite Cao army.

    Song Ding, who often moved behind enemy lines, had a very good understanding of people's hearts. He could understand what Mi Zhu and others were thinking at a glance.  I didn't want to say anything more to this self-righteous businessman who had killed many of his own men.

    "But think about saving people to the end, not to mention that although the head of the Mi family is not good at tactics, he still has some effect on the lord's propaganda strategy.

    Finally, he approached Mi Zhu and whispered: "Master Mi! This is the stronghold that our army has arranged many years ago. It is safe for the time being. I think Cao's army does not have enough troops, so he must not be able to find this place from house to house.

    By the way, I would like to express my condolences, at least the main characters of your Mi family were not harmed in this chaos!  "

    Hearing Song Ding¡¯s gentle words of comfort, Mi Zhu bowed to Song Ding with some gratitude.  Seeing the head of the family bowing respectfully, everyone in the Mi family who was frightened immediately knelt down to Song Ding and thanked him.

    Their politeness made Song Ding a little at a loss.  Don¡¯t reach out to hit the smiling person.  The unhappiness in Song Ding's heart has long since disappeared.  He hurriedly helped Mi Zhu up: "Master Mi, please get up, please get up quickly, why is it like this! Why is it like this!"

    Mi Zhu, who still insisted on bowing to Song Ding, thanked him sincerely: "Fortunately, I was reminded by Song Junhou in advance that the main members of the Mi family have been transferred out of the city in the past two days, and the only ones who stayed in the mansion are  Those irrelevant collateral relatives are distant relatives.

    It¡¯s pity that these relatives only want to rely on the power of the big clan, but in this chaotic situation, they may not even be able to save their lives!  Even more pity for those loyal soldiers who try their best to protect our Mi family!  Alas, my Mi family is sorry for everyone!  "

    Song Ding, who had listened to Jiangnan Army¡¯s propaganda too much over the years and knew the essence of propaganda, immediately answered: ¡°Master Mi does not need to blame himself, it was Cao Jun¡¯s perverse behavior in Xuzhou that caused hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou to live in dire straits.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Will force your Mi family to this dead end, if everyone can¡¯t live anymore, who doesn¡¯t want to live a peaceful and stable life?  I hope that your Mi family can cooperate with our army's propaganda team in the future to announce the true situation in Xuzhou to the world.

    Let everyone in the world understand how dire straits and disasters are under Cao Jun¡¯s rule today!  "

    Mi Zhu is a smart businessman after all, and he will immediately understand the meaning after just thinking about it for a moment.  This is to win the hearts and minds of the people of Xuzhou and everyone in the world.  And this is undoubtedly the best way to retaliate against the Mi family who suffered such a big loss under Cao Jun.

    "Yeah! Just give the orders, Song Junhou. As long as there are more than 10,000 people alive in my Mi family, they are willing to obey Jiangnan Army's orders!"

    After looking at the Mi family prisoners who were still digging holes in the ground for a while, Leopard Cavalry leader Cao Chun smiled disdainfully.

    He greeted Xia Hou, who had one red eye: "Cousin Yuan Rang, it's up to you to handle the aftermath here! My mission here has been completed, and I have to rush to Guangling first. There is another person there who is more difficult.  Where is the Yuanlong Prefect that we are dealing with!"

    Hearing Cao Chun say he was leaving, Xiahou, who was originally angry, breathed a sigh of relief.  Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible to find Mi Zhu who escaped.

    I made such a gesture just to give an explanation to Cao Chun who was watching the excitement.  I hope he can not say that this arrest operation that missed the key criminal is useless in front of the Lord.

    Xiahou's ferocious expression faded, as if he had just thought of it, and immediately responded with a hint of a flattering smile: "Oh, that's right! Little brother Chun, you still have something important to do?"As a brother, I won¡¯t let you have this celebration banquet!

    However, Chen Yuanlong was well-known for his wisdom in Xuzhou. Although he only had a thousand troops in his hands, he was probably more difficult to deal with than the nearly ten thousand Mi family.  Young brother Chun is going to Guangling, so he needs to be careful when dealing with him!  "

    "Thank you for reminding me, brother, please save me!" Cao Chun glanced at the busy excavation site and said, "I asked the army leader Bo to take note of my brother's far-sightedness in this battle! Only by making a decision and then taking action can we destroy it in one fell swoop.  The great contribution of the tens of thousands of Mi family¡¯s rebels!¡±

    Although his face felt a little hot and flushed, Xiahou, who was shot blind in one eye, seemed to have only half of the pride in his heart.  For him, who is getting older, he cannot compare with Cao Chun, the new star of the Cao family.

    Now that I have become a stable state pastor in the rear, although my official position and benefits are much greater, I have lost many opportunities to fight.

    With such easy-to-obtain credit, it¡¯s really better to get more.

    "Haha! So I have to thank Brother Chun for taking care of me!" The two brothers looked at each other and burst into laughter.  Xiahou, who felt happy after getting the achievement he wanted, turned to his men and gave instructions.

    "Chu Dan, I will leave this place to you and let me dig it out! I want to see how many secrets the Mi family has hidden."

    Neither the clever Cao Chun nor Xia Hou knew this at this time.  When Song Ding originally dug, he dug directly down for several feet before tilting the tunnel downwards and extending it in the direction of the Mi family.

    ?It is very difficult underground excavation work for ordinary people.  The villagers learned the authentic gold-touching and earth-digging technique from their mistress Jin Ren, but Xinghuo Cunning was able to capture it easily.  A tunnel can be as long as it wants and bend as much as it wants.

    And the speed of digging underground is very fast, so that the tunnel leading to Mijia's well can be dug within a few days.  Covering up the marks on the entrance of a cave is not a difficult task at all for the elites of the Spark Camp who are good at digging underground holes.

    This is also the reason why Cao Jun, who was in charge of the search, went to the well several times to check, but did not notice it at all.

    On the tall-walled Guangling City, the governor Chen Deng felt very upset, but he did not dare to reveal his emotions in front of his subordinates.  At this moment, he was standing quietly at the top of the city looking towards the river in the distance.

    More than ten days ago, Chen Deng secretly sent someone to Jinling to contact the Jiangnan Army and brought a personal reply from Zhou Yu.  There was no other movement from Jiangnan Army.  Although Zhou Yu's letter expressed great appreciation for Chen Deng's abandonment of the dark side.

    ¡°But before this kind of important matter, which is related to the life and death of the whole family, is really implemented, Chen Deng always feels empty and meaningless in his heart.  In the past few days, he always used the tense situation to inspect the city defenses, and often walked to the top of the city that he would not have visited in the past month.

    And in Nancheng, which is close to the river, it is the place where he comes the most and stays the longest.  Chen Deng keenly felt that as Cao Jun defeated Yuan Shao's absolutely superior force, the situation in Xuzhou had become more and more subtle recently.

    Looking at the empty river surface that he had been looking forward to day and night, Chen Deng could only sigh in his heart: "When will the Jiangnan Army cross the river? If this opportunity waits until Cao Jun returns to the army, I am afraid he will never have this opportunity again.  "

    Chen Deng is not worried at all that he will be betrayed by Jiangnan Army, whether it is his reputation as the No. 1 family in Xuzhou or his outstanding resourcefulness.  He who wanted to join the emperor's orthodox side could not be rejected by the Jiangnan Army.

    Chen Deng, who is well versed in politics, certainly knows that the current Jiangnan Army only wants to pacify Jiangbei and Hebei.  Then there will be an urgent need for a surrender who can show off his status and serve as an example for propaganda.  And Jiangnan Army has always done this.

    "But it's been half a month, why is there still no movement from the Jiangnan Army? Is there any strange change in this?"

    Chen Deng, who was completely puzzled, stayed in the south of the city for a long time, but he walked to the north of the city by mistake.  He also looked in the direction of the blank with some confusion.

    "What I said to Mi Zhu and the others before leaving Xiabii has indeed attracted the attention of the Mi family. Mi Zizhong is a smart man! I just don't know how the Mi family is doing now? But no matter what, they should be able to attract Xiahou's attention.  Let the attraction pass!"

    The cunning Chen Deng revealed some details to Mi Zhu and Cao Bao intentionally or unintentionally after his father's funeral.  What he saw was that the Cao family was silent, but the Mi family became extremely active as he expected.

    The abnormality of the Mi family provided a good cover for the actions of the Chen family.  At this time, the Chen family in Xiabi City was just an empty shell.  The second brother Chen Ying came to Guangling City with some important family members for various reasons.

    But let ChenAlthough all the agencies were exhausted, he did not expect that Jiangnan Army would ignore him inexplicably.  And he didn't even know that Cao Jun had a leopard cavalry that could move so fast.  As for letting his second brother Chen Ying come to Guangling to join him, it was Xiahou's intention.

    "As long as the Chen family is not like Mi Fang, the second young master of the Mi family, he took advantage of Cao Jun's unpreparedness and suddenly slipped away to the south of the Yangtze River before his rebellion was revealed.  Xia Hou was not worried at all that the Chen family could escape from the Leopard Cavalry's surprise attack.  Let the Chen family relax their vigilance and get together, which makes it easier to deal with.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  What's more, a large number of informants have been stationed in Guangling City and inside and outside the city gate.  The Chen brothers never thought of escaping across the river easily again.

    Chen Deng, who was still thinking about the situation in Xiabai City, suddenly saw a knight galloping towards him on the official road to the north.  The smoke and dust that filled the sky behind him made Chen Deng's heart suddenly skip a beat.

    "Oh, no! Guangling is in danger!"

    Chen Deng, who was already frightened, saw clearly at a glance that the person running towards him with all his strength was the secret agent he had specially arranged to stay in Xiabii.  If it wasn't an urgent matter, he wouldn't show up at all.

    Chen Deng did not hesitate to order the guards who were following him: "Blow the drums immediately and order all the soldiers in the city to go to the city to prepare for war!"

    The guards who received the order were a little stunned and looked at their own prefect in shock.  It seemed that he didn't understand why the arrival of a knight made the usually calm prefect become so panicked.

    "Hurry up and go! This is a military order. Do you want to disobey and disrespect the military order of this prefect?" Seeing that the guard was stunned and did not immediately carry out his order, Chen Deng's voice suddenly changed to a very stern tone.  His hand has already been placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

    Being swept away by the stern look of the prefect, the originally dull guard immediately reacted.  Knowing that the prefect was definitely not joking with him this time, he immediately agreed.

    He ran along the flat road at the top of the city towards the city tower.

    "Dong dong dong dong!" The fierce sound of war drums and the sound of horse hooves rushing into the city gate were intertwined and sounded together.
