Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 507

Xia Zhao suddenly heard that Cao Jun had entered the city, and asked with wide eyes in disbelief, "What did you say???"

The messenger saw that Xia Zhao still didn't believe it, so he repeated: "Return to the general, Cao Jun has really attacked the city!!!"

"Snapped!"

Xia Zhao threw the messenger back to the ground and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Why is Cao Jun so silent?"

"It's absolutely true, General!" Speaking of this, the messenger suddenly remembered something and added: "But Cao's army didn't come in from the east gate, they came in secretly from the west gate!"

Having said this, Xia Zhao suddenly recalled, "So that's the case. So the trebuchets and the siege with great fanfare a few days ago were all intentionally shown to me! This general was too careless and fell into the hands of Cao Jun. It's a lie!"

The remorseful Xia Zhao knew that he had been fooled by Cao Jun, but he still shouted loudly: "Send the order, gather all the defenders and follow me to drive Cao Jun out of the city!"

However, when Xia Zhao and his personal guards had just walked out of the Sheriff's Mansion, a group of Cao Jun had already surrounded the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion in darkness.

"It was surrounded so soon?" Xia Zhao, who was surrounded by a group of strong men as soon as he walked out of the gate, was a little dumbfounded, and thought: "It shouldn't be, there are more than [-] defenders in the city, no matter what Wouldn't it be possible for someone to break through the entire line so quickly?"

However, Xia Zhao's doubts were quickly answered.

Cao Jun, who was surrounding Huguan County Guard's Mansion, suddenly parted a passage, and Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, and Deng Sheng walked out of the passage.

Seeing Deng Sheng, Xia Zhao was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, and finally pointed at Deng Sheng angrily, and asked, "Well, you Deng Sheng, you don't want to talk about surrendering to the enemy, but you even persuaded my soldiers to come and arrest me! Did you Don't you feel any guilt at all?!"

Xia Zhao guessed right, it was precisely because of Deng Sheng's personal persuasion that most of the defenders in Huguan City surrendered without any resistance.

Huang Zhong had been left by Lu Yan behind Huguan to deal with the aftermath.

Before surrendering to Lu Yan, Deng Sheng did his best to guard Huguankou. Although Kaesong surrendered in the end, it was not his original intention.

After Deng Sheng surrendered to Lu Yan, in order to make it easier for Huang Zhong to clean up the forces of the Bingzhou Army on the front line of Huguan, Lu Yan assigned Deng Sheng to Huang Zhong as his assistant.

After Lu Yan assigned a task to Xu Huang, he immediately summoned Huang Zhong to assist Xu Huang in attacking the city. When Huang Zhong came to help, he also brought along Deng Sheng, who was temporarily serving as his deputy.

Needless to say, Deng Sheng really played a big role after he came.

After Cao's army attacked Huguan City from the other side of the city wall by deceiving the sky, in addition to encountering a fierce resistance at the beginning, a considerable part of the defenders in the city were directly persuaded to surrender by Deng Sheng.The surrender of the defenders not only greatly reduced the casualties of the Cao army, but also accelerated the progress of the Cao army's occupation of Huguan City, and even Xia Zhaolian was blocked at the door of the county guard's mansion.

Most of the defenders in the city surrendered to Cao Jun, and a small number of those who resisted were either beheaded on the spot or captured after being defeated.

Under Deng Sheng's leadership, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong quickly led the army to the county guard's mansion where Xia Zhao was hiding.

Facing Xia Zhao's questioning, Deng Sheng said righteously: "Brother Xia, you and I have assisted Gao Gan for many years, and we love brothers. Let me tell you the truth as brothers. Fleeing to Hedong County. He doesn't care about the life and death of you and my brother and all the brothers in the army, he only cares about himself!"

Xia Zhao actually had similar thoughts about whether Gao Gan really went to ask for reinforcements or ran away, but he still had some illusions in his heart, hoping that Gao Gan would do what he said and ask the reinforcements to rescue them.

It's a pity, judging from the current situation, Xia Zhao's fantasy seems to be shattered, and it is very likely that the senior officials left them and ran away.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhao's expression kept changing, showing that the struggle in his heart was extremely intense.

Huang Zhong saw that Xia Zhao was wavering, so he hit the iron while it was hot: "General Xia, don't worry, you can guard Huguan City for Gao Gan and stop our army for many days, which shows that you are as loyal as General Deng. Whether it is Prime Minister Cao or Lu Hussars are all kind and benevolent people, and they always treat loyal people with extra courtesy. There are two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan in the distance, and General Deng Sheng in the near, and they are the best proof."

What Xia Zhao was worried about was exactly what Huang Zhong said. He was worried that he would be punished by Cao Jun if he blocked Cao Jun for a long time;

Huang Zhong's words undoubtedly reassured Xia Zhao a lot.

Seeing that Xia Zhao's mood gradually calmed down, Deng Sheng knew that the matter was almost over.

"Hahaha!" Deng Sheng laughed and walked up to Xia Zhao alone, looked him in the eyes and said, "Don't worry brother, Mr. Cao will not treat us badly."

Seeing Deng Sheng and General Cao Jun being so sincere, Xia Zhao finally made up his mind.

He sighed softly in his heart, and secretly said: "Inspector Gao, Xia has tried his best."

Immediately, Xia Zhao threw away the weapon in his hand, knelt down on one knee and asked Xu Huang to surrender: "The criminal Xia Zhao, I wish to surrender to Prime Minister Cao!"

Xu Huang successfully completed his task, and at the same time as the boulder fell in his heart, a sense of comfort rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay! Hahaha!" Xu Huang laughed and came to Xia Zhao's side, helped him up and said, "General Xia has abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, the Prime Minister will definitely not treat you badly."

With Xu Huang's support, Xia Zhao stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General."

"We will be colleagues from now on, so you don't have to be polite.

Now I would like to ask General Xia and General Deng to follow me to meet Lu Hussar first, and after the military situation here and the merits of the two of you are delivered to the prime minister, the court will reward the two generals for their merits! "

When Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao heard this, they couldn't help but said, "So, thank you General."

Xu Huang led the army to replace the guards in Huguan City, while Huang Zhong and Deng Sheng led Xia Zhaohou's [-] troops to Lu Yan's camp.

In three days, Xu Huang broke through Huguan City as promised, and because it was outsmarted, Cao Jun suffered very few casualties.

At this moment, Lu Yan is receiving the compliments from everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General Xu took Huguan City out of his wits, Lu Hushi really knows people with his eyes!"

"Cao Gong has a lot of talents under his command, but at least half of them come from the excavations of Lu Hussars. His subordinates sincerely admire them!"

"The subordinate's respect for Lu Hussar is like a torrent of river."

To be honest, even though Lu Yan was very thick, he still felt a little uncomfortable in the Chinese military tent that turned into a large-scale boasting scene.

He raised his hand to stop everyone's flattery, and said: "It is the duty of a courtier to recruit talents for the court. Don't praise too much."

"No, no, no! There are too many people in this world who are jealous of talents, and there are too few people who can selflessly promote talents. With you here, Mr. Cao, please forgive me for making a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry." Ma Teng seemed to realize that he had slipped his tongue. He apologized again and again.
