"Is this serious?" Long Fei stood up and Pang Tong solemnly nodded.
He was really afraid of what would come. Long Fei was worried that Cao Cao would unite with several small princes to deal with him, but Guo Jia said no. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually did the opposite and really joined forces with Liu Zhang and Sun Quan to attack his Jingzhou. If
It is indeed difficult for one person to handle this situation.
Leaving Pang Tong behind, Long Fei quickly ran back to the inn. He broke into the gate and happened to see Jiang Ji and Guo Jia talking in the hall. When they saw Long Fei coming back, they stood up hurriedly. Jiang Ji cupped his fists and handed over his hands: "General Long is back just in time. My family is here."
My lord has sent me to invite General Long to the banquet, please come with me!"
Long Fei stared at Jiang Ji with cold eyes and gritted his teeth. Jiang Ji looked a little scared and took a step back hastily: "General Long, what are you..."
Long Fei ignored him and turned to Guo Jia: "Notify everyone immediately, we must rush back to Jingzhou immediately!"
"No!" Seeing Long Fei's face, Guo Jia knew that something big must have happened. He changed his usual laziness and immediately ran to inform everyone. The group packed up and prepared to set off. When they opened the gate of Guanyi, Cao Ren led a thousand soldiers to arrive.
Guanyi was surrounded. Seeing Long Fei and others coming out, Cao Ren cupped his hands and said, "General Long, where are you going?"
"You don't have to worry about this, get out of my way immediately!" Long Fei said fiercely.
Cao Ren looked at Long Fei and smiled and said: "No one is allowed to step out of the post house without the Lord's order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" As soon as he ducked, the archers behind him immediately stepped forward, aiming cold arrows at Long Fei and the others.
Dian Wei screamed and was about to pounce, but Xu Chu held him back. Guo Jia seemed to have figured out something, looked at Long Fei and asked: "Lord, what on earth is going on?"
Long Fei said: "Cao Cao took advantage of my coming to Yecheng to collude with Liu Zhang and Sun Quan to attack our Jingzhou. Pang Tong just informed me today. I didn't expect Cao Cao to be prepared!"
Guo Jia was also shocked. He had promised Long Fei yesterday that Cao Cao despised the world and would not unite with others. Just one day later, he broke his promise and regretted in his heart: "Lord! Me!"
"Now is not the time to admit your mistake, think of a way out!" Long Fei's hand has already reached into his arms, and in his arms is the blood-red dagger he carries with him. The two sides are already at war with each other, and they will immediately fight for the slightest movement.
It was a fight to the death. Long Fei looked at his opponents and saw that archers accounted for the majority. Cao Cao knew that Long Fei was powerful. It was obviously impossible to stop Long Fei with infantry, so he equipped Cao Ren with so many archers.
Cao Ren chuckled and said: "General Long, I advise you to go back to the inn. My lord has an order. As long as you don't leave, we will never take action! If you don't know what is right, don't blame me for being rude. To tell you the truth, these arrowheads
They are all smeared with the blood-stained poison, and if you get even a little bit of it, you will die."
Long Fei gritted his teeth angrily and had already pulled out half of the dagger. Guo Jia pressed Long Fei's arm and shook his head slightly at Long Fei. Only then did Long Fei calm down. He really couldn't fight hard now. There were only six people on his side.
, one person was assigned to protect Guo Jia, but there were only four people who could actually fight. And there were thousands of opponents, not to mention poisonous arrows, so it would be bad to hurt anyone.
Long Fei took a deep breath: "Since my father-in-law intends to keep me, then I will stay! Go back and tell your father-in-law that I won't leave!" After that, he turned around and went in. Guo Jia, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Meng Shuo
The three of them will go crazy
Crazy Dian Wei also pulled him in and closed the door of the inn with a clang. Cao Ren let out a sigh of relief. He was really worried that these people would come over. His soldiers were not elite soldiers, and there was no poison on the arrowheads.
Seeing Long Fei and others returning, Cao Ren immediately ordered someone to report the matter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was surprised when he heard that Long Fei was leaving. After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu nodded slightly: "My lord, you guessed it right.
Someone must have leaked the news and Long Fei noticed it, so he wanted to return to Jingzhou as soon as possible!"
"Who could it be?"
Cheng Yu shook his head: "There are many people who know about our plan. In addition to our people, Liu Zhang, Sun Quan and others also know about it. Originally, we just wanted to buy time for the mobilization of the army and had no hope of keeping it secret. Now Liu Zhang and Sun Quan have replied to the letter and they are ready.
It is in place and can be attacked at any time, so our goal has been achieved.
Dong Zhao shook his head: "I can't see it, Liu Zhang. Sun Quan was forced to send troops to fight because of the lord's military strength. Long Fei is not easy to mess with! It was reported that Sun Quan's army stopped at Lujiang, and Liu Zhang's army stopped at Linjiang.
If we don't move forward, they are waiting and watching. They will only send troops if we take Wancheng. If we lose, something will happen badly!"
Cao Cao nodded: "I know this, that's why I let Miaocai lead the army, with Yuan Rang as the vanguard! He led an army of 100,000 to attack Wancheng! The purpose of leaving Long Fei behind is to make them leaderless and easier to attack!"
Dong Zhao still shook his head: "Hey! My lord doesn't know Long Fei. As far as my subordinates know, Long Fei has been carrying out some reforms in Jingzhou recently. He doesn't care about the laws of Han Dynasty and his ancestors at all. He does whatever he wants, but he has won the hearts of the people.
Wancheng is Long Fei's home base, where the people return, and it is guarded by General Wenpin. With Xiangyang as his back, reinforcements can be made at any time, but our army has been attacking for a long distance, and the soldiers are too tired to be effective!"
"Lord Dong, you are worrying too much!" Liu Ye said: "Wancheng is a small place. How can a hundred thousand troops not be able to attack it? No matter how powerful Wenpin is, he is still a human being. Our army can defeat all the places in Hebei without any effort. Wancheng is not a problem.
Down!"
Cheng Yu agreed with Dong Zhao's opinion this time and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, I think what Lord Dong said makes sense. Why don't we let our army of 100,000 stay in Yingchuan and use Long Fei as a hostage to threaten Jingzhou. The dragons in Jingzhou will be left without a leader."
Don’t give in!”
"Isn't this bad?" Dong Zhao disapproved.
Cao Cao smiled: "It's not impossible. Back then, Long Fei kidnapped Yuan Shu and forced Yuan Shu's men to leave Yuzhou. Since he is capable, it won't hurt if we do it once!"
"Report...!" The messenger quickly rushed into the government office: "Lord, Long Fei and others fought their way out of the city and ran away!"
"What?" Cao Cao was furious and stood up with a cry: "Where is Cao Ren?"
"General Cao Ren has led his troops to pursue him!"
"Such a flaw has happened!" Cao Cao punched several cases hard: "Cao Chun, I order you to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and you must capture Long Fei for me!"
After Long Fei and others returned to the post house, they did not rest. The entire post house was surrounded by soldiers on all sides. It was definitely impossible to escape. Dian Wei suggested to kill directly. Guo Jia shook his head: "We have many people.
Not enough, let alone still in the city, even if you fight out, you may not be able to escape from Yecheng. If you are caught again, you will never have a chance to escape!"
"Then we can't wait here, right?" Dian Wei sat on the ground with his two halberds in his arms: "I can't walk, I can't fight, but I can't fight! It's really frustrating!"
As soon as the figure flashed, a man in black suddenly appeared outside the door. Xu Chu, Chen Dao and others stood up with a roar, and the weapons in their hands were already placed by the door. Someone knocked lightly a few times, and Long Fei winked at Chen Dao.
Chen Dao asked: "Who is it?"
"Pang Tong, I have an important meeting with General Long!"
Long Fei hurriedly got up and opened the door himself. Outside the door was indeed Pang Tong, dressed in black with a sword hanging on his waist. His body was covered in dirt, as if he had just crawled out of the ground. Long Fei was overjoyed: "Brother Shi Yuan, why are you here?"
?The army is besieging you outside, how did you get in?"
Pang Tongtong smiled: "Please follow me, I will take you out!"
There was a dry well in the courtyard behind the post house. Pang Tong pointed down: "There is a secret passage under the well that leads directly to the courtyard of a house in the southeast. I came up from here. There will definitely be no problem for people, but the war horses will definitely not be able to get through!"
"What should we do? How can we go without horses?" Dian Wei asked.
Guo Jiadao said: "It doesn't matter. As long as we are missing, Cao Ren will definitely think that we have escaped if he can't find anyone in the post house, so he will lead his troops to chase us. It's not too late to come back and lead the horse!"
Pang Tong glanced at Guo Jia: "Mr. Guo is right! This is the only way now!"
Long Fei looked at everyone: "Okay! Let's go!"
Chen Dao grabbed Long Fei and said, "My lord, this time I narrowly escaped death. For my lord's safety, please take off your robe and put on my clothes. Even if Cao Ren catches up with me, my lord still has a glimmer of hope!"
Long Fei looked at Chen Dao, biting his lip, not knowing what to say. Without waiting for Long Fei's reaction, several people took off Long Fei's coat and exchanged it with Chen Dao. Pang Tong led the way, and after Xu Chu broke off, several people came out of the dry well.
He crawled out. The postmaster found that Long Fei and others were missing and hurriedly reported to Cao Ren. Cao Ren immediately ordered to rush in and searched the entire post house, but there was no sign of Long Fei. At this time, Chen arrived and Xu Chu pretended to be Long Fei.
A massacre was launched at the east gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate were about to be unable to resist.
Cao Ren received the news and immediately ordered the chase. Long Fei and others then came back to get their horses, rushed out from the south gate, ran for dozens of miles in one breath, and found a remote place to hide. They waited for three full days
At that time, Xu Chu and Chen Dao came back with injuries all over their bodies. Long Fei looked at them and hugged them in his arms: "Good brothers!"
When everyone was reunited, Long Fei bowed his hands to Pang Tong and saluted: "Brother Shiyuan, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! I will never be able to repay you for saving your life. If brother Shiyuan encounters any difficulties in the future, just come to me and I will never complain through life or death!"
"
Pang Tong took out the money from his arms and waved it in front of his eyes: "I have it! I will definitely come to you if anything happens!"
Looking at Pang Tong's walking back, Guo Jia also nodded: "There are not many people like Pang Shiyuan in the black ice who know right from wrong!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance, and a group of cavalry was vaguely seen galloping towards this side. Everyone quickly got on their horses and hid in the woods nearby. The cavalry came closer, and the leader took the reins of the horse with the strength of the horse.
He stood up, looked at the horseshoe marks leading to the woods under his feet, and smiled: "Let's go! Over there!"
Seeing that the pair of cavalry had discovered their traces, Xu Chu hurriedly said to Long Fei: "Master, you take Feng Xiao and retreat first, and we will resist for a while!" After that, he danced his sword and rode his horse out of the woods shouting.
