"What!" Cao Hong was taken aback, grabbed the soldier by the neck and shouted, "Are all the soldiers guarding the civilian husband dead?"

"General, there are too few brothers guarding the civilian husband, all of them were killed by..."

"A bunch of bastards!"

Cao Hong cursed, threw away the soldiers, turned his head and said: "Hurry up, three thousand troops, and follow me to suppress the peasants, hurry up!"

Several Cao Junya generals rushed away, and after a quarter of an hour, three thousand soldiers were assembled.

It can be said that there must be an effect if there is a cause. Cao Hong plundered Wancheng and captured [-] civilians by force, which had already aroused the great indignation of the people of Wancheng. Wancheng cannot be defended with [-] troops, at least [-] defenders are needed.

He had enough food, but not enough soldiers, so Cao Hong had no choice but to arm the peasants. He selected [-] strong men from among the [-] peasants, gave them weapons and armor, and began to train them. Today, only the first One night, but something happened on the first night.

Cao Hong gritted his teeth. He sent [-] soldiers to guard these armed civilians. Could it be that all [-] soldiers were killed?

When did these civilian husbands have such great skills?Cao Hong already understood that the scouts of the Han army must be hiding among them and lead them to rebel, otherwise he would never have believed that these peasants would be so lethal.

Internal and external aggression, Cao Hong was devastated, but he had no choice at this time, and immediately led an army of [-] to the Eastern Army Camp, wanting to bloodily suppress the rebellion.

. . . . . . . .

In the camp of the Han army outside the city, the sentry soldiers sent by Liu Jing received three letters in a row, all of which were shot down from the top of the city with headless arrows. Except for one letter sent by Yu Ze's cronies, the other two letters were shot by Cao Hong. Zhang Sheng and Yang Xun were shot out by the two confidantes, expressing their willingness to cooperate internally and externally to assist the Han army in capturing Wancheng.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Fa Zhengzai carefully read the two letters three times, and smiled at Liu Jing: "Your Highness, it should be true that the two surrendered."

Liu Jing knew the two were Cao Hong's confidantes, and was worried that Cao Hong would deceive him. Fazheng judged that the surrender was true, and Liu Jing couldn't help cheering up: "The two letters really have nothing to do with each other?"

Fazheng nodded, "If Cao Hong deploys in a unified manner, there must be some kind of connection between the two letters. The cooperation of the two armies is necessary to hit us as hard as possible, but the two letters have their own expressions. I can't see what is the difference between the two letters. Contact, only if they each conceal it will have this effect."

Liu Jing frowned slightly, "What if Cao Hong arranged for them to feign surrender?"

Fazheng laughed, "Your Highness, if Cao Hong had this kind of wisdom, he wouldn't be as passive as he is today."

Liu Jing felt relieved, the law was correct, and Cao Hong was indeed far behind in planning, which was the fundamental reason why he was still inferior to Cao Ren. Liu Jing also smiled and said, "If that's the case, tonight will be the time to break the city."

As soon as he arrived here, a soldier rushed over and reported at the door of the tent: "His Royal Highness, the Huang family sent someone to see you urgently!"

Liu Jing and Fazheng looked at each other, feeling slightly suspicious, why would the Huang family send someone here?Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Bring someone in!"

After a while, the soldier led a man about 35 years old and walked in quickly. The man knelt down and bowed.

"You... the second son of Mr. Huang?" Liu Jing vaguely felt that this person looked familiar and he should have met him before, but Huang Jin was undoubtedly Huang Chengyan's second son and Huang Yueying's elder brother.

"Xiao Minzheng!"

"Please forgive me!"

Huang Jin stood up, Liu Jing looked at him carefully again, and couldn't help laughing, "We met, at Lingmei and Kong Ming's wedding."

Huang Jin smiled embarrassedly: "It turns out that His Highness still remembers Xiaomin."

"Fifteen or sixteen years have passed in a flash, and I only have a vague impression. How is your father?"

"Thank you for your concern, my father is still in good health, and my father ordered Xiaomin to send a letter to His Highness."

Huang Jin took out a silk scroll from his bosom and presented it. Liu Jing opened the silk scroll, and he couldn't help being pleasantly surprised by the contents of the letter. It turned out that Ren Ping was hiding in Huang Chengyan's mansion, which was beyond his expectation, and more than a dozen prominent families The big family is going to start an uprising tonight, about [-] people, led by Ren Ping and others.

Liu Jing nodded, and then asked the soldiers: "How long is it until the first watch?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is still about half an hour."

There was still time, but at this moment, Fazheng asked Huang Jin with a smile, "How did Mr. Huang get out of the city?"

This sentence reminded Liu Jing that Cao Jun's city was so well-defended, how could Huang Jin get out of the city?He also looked at Huang Jin suspiciously.

Huang Jin bowed and said: "His Royal Highness, Xiaomin has a good relationship with General Cao Zhang Sheng. Xiaomin made an excuse to go to the manor outside the city, and went down to the city from his defensive line."

Liu Jing shook his head secretly, this Huang Jin is a scholar after all, he thinks the problem is too simple, if Zhang Sheng has not surrendered to himself secretly, even if he has a friendship of 100 years, he would never let Zhang Sheng let him go to the city, let alone Huang Chengyan in his arms Only Huang Jin is very lucky.

But Liu Jing didn't break it, just smiled and said: "There will be a little chaos in the city tonight. For safety reasons, Young Master Huang will stay in the barracks for the time being. I hope you will take me to see your father tomorrow."

Huang Jin readily agreed, and went down with the soldiers. Liu Jing handed Huang Chengyan to Fazheng. Fazheng looked at it and couldn't help sneering: "Cao Hong has betrayed his relatives, so it's strange that Wancheng can still be kept."

Liu Jing got up and smiled, "It's getting late, we should send troops!"

All the soldiers of the Han army put on their armor and rested. With an order, [-] soldiers of the Han army got up and lined up one after another. After only a quarter of an hour, the [-] soldiers had already assembled. Wanjun rushed to the north and south gates, while Liu Jing personally led [-] Han troops to rush towards the east gate of Wancheng under the cover of night.

........

The civilians in Dongdaying rebelled, Cao Hong led [-] troops to attack Dongdaying in desperation, but he ignored a time difference. Soldiers came from Dongdaying to report to him. It only took half an hour to come and go, Cao Hong's attack on the East Daying at this time was tantamount to asking for a sword.

When Cao Hong led the army to Dongdaying, there were corpses all over Dongdaying, most of the corpses of civilian husbands, and the five hundred soldiers of Cao's army who guarded the civilian husbands were all killed, all their armor and weapons were taken away, and the camp was already empty. no one.

When Cao Hongzheng was startled, there was a fierce cry of killing suddenly erupting from the east gate a mile away. A soldier was drenched in blood and stumbled to report: "General, thousands of armed civilians are attacking the east gate. The situation is critical!"

Cao Hong was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Kill to the east gate, don't be weak-handed, all the civilians will be slaughtered!"

Three thousand Cao soldiers rushed towards the city like wolves and tigers, but at this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed in the direction of the north gate and shouted: "General, the north tower is on fire."

Cao Hong turned his head to look, and saw that the north tower was in flames, and the whole tower was engulfed by the fire. Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "The south tower is also on fire."

The southern city and the northern city were guarded by Cao Hong's confidant generals Zhang Sheng and Yang Xun each with [-] troops. At this time, the towers in the north and south were on fire, which meant that something happened to both the south city and the north city. Sweat rolled down Cao Hong's forehead. But at this moment, he no longer cared about the north and south city towers, and shouted: "Suppress the rebellion first!"

Cao Hong led [-] soldiers to rush towards the east gate, but he was still more than [-] steps away from the east gate. From a distance, he saw that the inner and outer gates of the east city had been breached by rioters. Generally rushing in from outside the city, in the hunting fire, the general Zheng Han Wang Liu Jing is the leader.

Cao Hong was scared out of his wits. Knowing that the situation was over, he turned his head and ordered loudly: "The leader of the thieves is Liu Jing, the king of the Han Dynasty, and there are only dozens of guards around him. Whoever takes his head will reward 10 taels of gold and seal ten thousand households. Brothers, kill him!" !"

He coaxed the soldiers of Cao Jun to fight, but he turned his horse and ran towards the west gate. Cao Hong's heart was like a mirror. Ximen fled, and it would be too late if he was too late.

Cao Hong rode his horse and galloped all the way, he was still hundreds of steps away from the west gate, but he saw a fierce battle taking place in the street ahead, thousands of Han troops rushed out from nowhere and surrounded hundreds of Cao troops.

Cao Hong felt chills in his heart, these Han troops could only enter through the west gate, if they entered through the other three gates, it would not be so fast. Shrinking his neck, the Spike arrow shot through his helmet, and the helmet rolled to the ground.

As soon as Cao Hong turned his head, he saw more than a thousand soldiers of the Han army coming from the north. The arrow was shot by the chief general, but this general was Wang Ping. He didn't know Cao Hong. He thought the opponent was just an ordinary general of the Cao army. He shouted: "catch him!"

Cao Hong turned his horse's head and galloped south, followed by hundreds of soldiers. At this time, tens of thousands of Han troops had already entered Wancheng. In the alley, he dismounted from his horse and slashed the horse with a dagger. The horse suffered from the pain and sped up, but Cao Hong hid in the alley.

The sound of running gradually disappeared, and the pursuers followed the horses away. Cao Hong's spear was hung on the horse, and only his sword was beside him. With the sword in his hand, he quickly ran into the alley. At the end, it turned out to be a dead end.

At the end of a house, Cao Hong kicked open the gate, and rushed into the courtyard with a sword. The owner of the house had already prepared, and when he saw a Cao soldier intruding, he took his two sons and swung a stick to beat him. Sword, killed all three father and son, he rushed into the house and killed two young women and several children one by one, the hostess screamed sharply, and rushed towards Cao Hong, but Cao Hong pierced her chest with a sword .

After killing a family of nine, Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief. At least he could hide in this house for a while, and after the limelight passed, he could sneak out of the city.

Cao Hong closed the gate of the courtyard, found a well in the corner of the courtyard, and threw the corpses into the well one by one, but at this moment, there was a rush of running outside, and someone shouted faintly: "It's here!"

'boom! With a loud bang, the gate of the courtyard was knocked open, and then the flames burst into flames. Hundreds of civilians rushed in with torches, sticks, hoes, etc. Cao Hong couldn't dodge, and was discovered. Someone pointed at him and shouted: "There! This dog thief killed Ah Fu's family."

The angry crowd rushed up. Cao Hong was desperately looking for the long sword. Only then did he remember that the long sword was still in the house. He turned and ran towards the house, but was surrounded by dozens of people, and wooden sticks and hoes were thrown at him like raindrops. .

.........

It was getting brighter, and the chaos in Wancheng had subsided. The Han army had taken control of Wancheng and imposed martial law in the city. They did not plunder the people, and as long as they found that the owner of the house was not coerced, they left immediately. By noon, the soldiers of the Han army arrested nearly [-] Cao army's defeated soldiers who had fled into the civilian households.

Guarded by dozens of bodyguards, Liu Jing walked into an alley until he came to a private house at the end of the alley. The search soldiers found a Cao Jun officer who had been beaten to death in this private house. Engraved with the word 'Zi Lian', this is Cao Hong's watch character.

The courtyard was full of soldiers, Liu Jing walked into the courtyard, and a military marquis came forward to report: "Your Highness, this person's face has been smashed to pieces, and his appearance can no longer be distinguished, but the fish scale armor is exquisitely crafted, made of silk and satin. Extraordinary people, and this sword."

Junhou presented the sword, and Liu Jing took it. The sword was simple in style and extremely sharp. He recognized the sword 'Radio' at a glance. It was originally Dong Zhuo's sword, which was later collected by Cao Cao. Cao Hong named his horse 'White Hu' Dedicated to Cao Cao, in return, Cao Cao gave the sword to Cao Hong.

Liu Jing walked up to General Cao's body, he already knew that this person was Nanyang General Cao Hong, who ran amok for a lifetime, but finally died under the sticks of the people of Wancheng.

Liu Jing shook his head, turned to Li Qingling and said, "Take his head well, put it in a box, and send someone to Hefei."

After finishing, Liu Jing turned around and left. When he reached the door, Liu Jing turned around and ordered, "Find him a good coffin and bury him respectfully."
