Chapter 147 Opening of Jiangling City
After confirming that it would be difficult for reinforcements to arrive, Cao Ren, who had held on for five months and was not losing ground in the battle, chose to break through under the persuasion of everyone.

He believed in Chang Diao's judgment, and because he hadn't seen any reinforcements in the past few months, he was physically and mentally exhausted, so leaving was also a solution.

In the middle of the night, Jiangling opened the city quietly. Cao Ren did not open the north city directly, but turned to the north after opening the gate of the west city. With Cao Hong as the vanguard, he turned to the north, and he was in the rear. The remaining soldiers who were wounded and unable to leave in the previous battle were ordered to set fire to the south city.

Cheng Pu in Nancheng thought that Cao Ren was still making a surprise attack at night, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to line up neatly.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Cao Jun leaving the city. Only then did he realize that there was something wrong. However, he was really scared by Cao Ren in the previous field battle. Cheng Pu was not sure if this was Cao Ren's trick, so he didn't dare to approach the city. Check and immediately notify Zhou Yu that Cao Ren may launch an attack.

Taking advantage of this precious time, most of Cao's army had already moved north. Zhou Yu, who was injured before, heard that the west of the city was also open, and immediately realized that Cao Ren was about to run away. When the generals heard that Cao Ren had left, none of them wanted to chase after this heavenly general. Only Gan Ning and Xu Sheng carried out Zhou Yu's order without saying a word, and led their troops to bite Cao's rear.

If it was a field battle between the two sides, Cao Ren would not be afraid of the Wu army at all.

But he wanted to run now, the whole army was very tense, the number of troops in the rear was limited, Cao Ren didn't dare to fight, and hastily commanded the soldiers to run away.

Gan Ning and Xu Sheng are also veterans of the battlefield. After confirming that Cao Ren's entire army was indeed retreating, they were not in a hurry to attack the entire army. Let the arrows shake Cao's army.

This trick really caused Cao Jun to trample on each other. In the dark night, countless people were trampled and kicked by their companions. The scene was once extremely chaotic, and even Cao Ren couldn't stop it.

Fighting until dawn, Gan Ning saw that most of Cao's army had been defeated, and immediately gathered all the brave fighters under his command in one place, and promised him a big reward. Under the cover of Xu Sheng, a hundred men were like one, like a giant trapped Clenching his fist, he slammed hard at Cao Jun's flank.

These hundreds of cavalry attacked, and indeed tore a huge gap in Cao Jun. Cao Jun, who had been busy all night and was highly nervous, was overwhelmed by Gan Ning Baiqi in an instant. Cao Ren had no choice but to cheer up and ride the horse alone Picking Gan Ning, without Cao Ren's command, Cao Jun's rear team was in chaos, and was killed by Xu Sheng at will.

With the twilight of dawn, Zhou Yu's rear team also appeared in sight. The drums outside Jiangling City were like thunder, and amidst the dense drumbeats, Wu Jun launched an unprecedented all-army assault.

Even if they can't keep the whole army of Cao Jun, they must keep Cao Ren today!

Cao Ren's dirty military robe was already stained red with blood.

Gan Ning's martial arts were comparable to Cao Ren's, and even faintly surpassed Cao Ren. The two fought for a long time, and Gan Ning was stabbed twice by Cao Ren's iron halberd.

Could it be that I, Cao Ren, will die here today?
Cao Ren glanced unwillingly at the dark heads in the north.

This time the city defenders had tried their best and used everything they could. He wasn't at fault too much, but the reinforcements had been unable to break through the enemy's block for a long time, and Cao Ren was now forced to break through to the limit.

It seems that there is no escape today.

"Cao Ren, don't dismount and surrender!"

Gan Ning's saber was fast and ruthless, while Cao Ren was in a trance, he was already at a loss what to do.

Seeing the enemy army coming like a flood, Cao Ren roared angrily:
"Mice, come and take Cao Ren's head if you have the guts!"

Gan Ning laughed loudly, and was about to brace himself to fight Cao Ren again, when he suddenly heard a burst of drumbeats in the distance, and a rough voice called out:
"Is General Zixiao in front? Xu Huang is here too!"

Xu Huang!

Cao Ren's heart, which had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, came to life in an instant. He looked into the distance in surprise, and saw that a group of sharp soldiers were killed on the horizon. The first person looked like a god in the twilight. It was General Cao Jun who had been away for a long time. Xu Huang!

"Gongming!" Cao Ren laughed loudly, and immediately pulled himself together, the iron halberd in his hand was like lightning, and returned to his body continuously with his empty stamina, he yelled, and went straight to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning saw that Cao Ren was thinking in despair, but now he saw the reinforcements, he couldn't help but sighed up to the sky.

Xu Huang took the lead, and all the fresh troops under him fought bravely. Wu Jun couldn't resist in an instant and was forced to retreat.

Xu Huang became more and more courageous in his battles, and fought a bloody path, protecting Cao Ren and running quickly. Xu Sheng wanted to catch up, but seeing Cao Jun's reinforcements in the distance, he could only sigh and let Cao Ren retreat.

In the fierce battle that night, more than 1000 people in Cao Ren's rear team were almost wiped out. Fortunately, most of the main force of the front army escaped.

Seeing Xu Huang who came to meet him and Le Jin who came after him, Cao Ren couldn't help crying with the two of them, and was speechless for a while.

Both Le Jin and Xu Huang were wounded all over their bodies, and their soldiers were also exhausted, obviously after a hard battle.

Le Jin choked up and pleaded guilty to Cao Ren, saying that they fought with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for a long time, and finally managed to get out of the tight encirclement. He died of exhaustion at thirty li.

"A certain soldier was almost wiped out. If he hadn't encountered Wenda's defeated army on the way, he could barely form an army, and almost no one could use it." Xu Huang looked rather sad, and pleaded guilty to Cao Ren.

After all, Cao Ren was the commander of one party, seeing the two desperately trying to rescue him, he couldn't bear to blame him.

"What is the crime of the two generals? If you didn't fight to the death, I would almost be trapped in Jiangling City.

Zilian and I should be thankful to the public. "

Le Jin and Xu Huang looked at each other, and there was a faint smile in their eyes.

Cao Ren was born as a knight-errant, and he is the most loyal.

In this battle, the two young masters and two generals of the Cao family accepted their kindness of rescue. Could it be that these four people tied together are no match for Xiahou Dun?Moreover, Li Tong died in this battle, Xu Huang took the opportunity to annex his subordinates, and said with high EQ that Li Tong died of exhaustion on the way here, and Cao Cao would definitely give Li Tong Fenghou to appease his family.

As a result, Xiahoudun's plan to use Li Tong to control Le Jin and Xu Huang is completely abolished. His only reliance now is Yunshan, and Yunshan...

He is his own.

Speaking of which, Xu Huang was originally unwilling to do such despicable and nasty things that would harm his colleagues.

But Xiahou Dun was too deceitful. He checked Xu Huang's accounts and wanted to replace Xu Huang with Li Tong and Yunshan. This was clearly to completely negate Xu Huang's contribution.

Although Li Tong was innocent, standing with Xiahou Dun, he became Xu Huang's enemy. Xu Huang was older than Guan Yu, and the years of happy enmity and enmity had long passed.

The relationship between him and Le Jin had already cracked, but the two of them united against Xiahou Dun in this matter, Le Jin gained fame, Xu Huang protected his status, and then Xu Huang transferred out of Jingzhou, Le Jin could dominate one side, the two hit it off, and then Became very good friends.

Of course, Yunshan's plan is indispensable in this.

"If I don't speak frankly this time, I will hardly have a place to die." Le Jin said leisurely.

He was telling the truth - he learned from Li Tong's confidantes that one of the tasks Xiahou Dun arranged for Li Tong was to rescue Cao Ren and then force Le Jin to give up his military power and go north.

When Le Jin and Guan Ping Ma Liang planned to deal with Xiahou Dun at the beginning, he still had some difficulties, but when he heard about this, his heart was full of hatred, and he wished he could kill Xiahou Dun immediately to vent his anger.

Don't dare to deal with Cao Hong, but treat me Le Jin so unrighteously.

Alright, when did I, Le Jin, ever do something to offend the prime minister? I wish I had sold my life to the Cao family and ended up like this?

Do you really think that I, Le Jin, am not a pure minister of the Han Dynasty, and can't help the Han Dynasty?
"Gongming, before... how did you contact Guan Yu this time?" Le Jin asked in a low voice on the way back.

After this incident, both of them have the other's handle in their hands. Naturally, their friendship is not comparable to before, and they simply tell the truth.

Xu Huang said:
"I fought Zhang Yide, captured his subordinates, and agreed to exchange prisoners.

I didn't get in touch with Yun Chang, but just told Zhang Fei about Li Tong's march. "

He paused, and said cautiously:
"Why, what are you going to do?"

"Hmph, I am equal to my country, what will happen to me? Now..."

He clenched his fists and said, "I'm getting old, and I won't be able to wield a knife in a few years, so I should think about what's going on behind me. Frankly speaking, we are all Hanchen. Nothing to say."

"I have done so many things for the prime minister, but Xia Houdun still cares about every detail. I finally understand what happened to Xu You back then, hey, Xu Huang's heart is chilling!!"

·
Xiahou Dun was relieved when he heard that the siege of Jiangling had been lifted, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong joined Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to go north.

Fortunately, everything is going well.

He expected that Le Jin and Xu Huang's family members were all in the north, so he had to fight forward and not dare to rebel. In this battle, Xu Huang's subordinates were heavily injured in the battle with Zhang Fei, and half of Le Jin's subordinates were scattered, which shows the brutality of this battle.

Le Jin kept complaining in the military newspaper, saying that the casualties of himself and Xu Huang's subordinates were extremely tragic, which made Xia Houdun sneer.

He flipped through the military newspaper triumphantly, but his eyes suddenly froze.

"Wenda...Wenda?"

In the military newspaper at the bottom, Le Jin lightly described an insignificant incident - Li Tong, the prefect of Runan, was struggling to move forward during the fierce battle. Near Jiangling, we met Cao Ren.It's a pity that before meeting Cao Ren, Li Tong died suddenly due to illness. Xu Huang annexed his subordinates and finally rescued Cao Ren. He is now on his way back.

Xiahou Dun's fingers kept trembling, and waves of dizziness hit his head, making his fingers tremble constantly.

died?

Wenda is dead?

How could Xiahou Dun choose a seriously ill person to save Cao Ren?
Li Tong was physically strong, even if he suffered from some incurable disease on the way, he would not die suddenly before reaching Jiangling.

It was a coincidence that Xu Huang annexed his soldiers and horses, and this military newspaper...

"What nonsense!"

Xiahou Dun drew his sword in his hand, and said with hatred: "Le Jin Xu Huang'an dares to deceive me! Tanzhi, put on armor for me, and I will lead the navy, take advantage of them to cross the river, and kill them all! I, I also want to report to the prime minister, kill them all!" It's full of doors, only to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
