However, he did not hesitate for a moment because of Cao Peng's appearance. The war horse was knocked to the ground by Cao Peng, and Zhao Yun also fell off the horse. The two-foot-long silver spear flew out of his hands. After rolling on the ground twice, he took advantage of the situation and pulled out his sword.
He waved his sword to meet him. However, he saw a flash of cold light and the swords clashed. Zhao Yun hurriedly struck out with his sword. Although he did not use all his strength, the dark energy contained in the sword was like a needle hidden in cotton, which made Cao Peng extremely uncomfortable.
clang!
There was a crisp sound.
Cao Peng took a wrong step and retreated.
Looking down, he saw a gap on the edge of the Baidu Steel Knife in his hand.
"Jinghong!"
Cao Peng's eyes flashed, and he held the shield in his backhand to block the sword that Zhao Yun was following. In Zhao Yun's hand, he held the Jinghong Sword that Cao Peng gave him. Zhao Yun was obviously aware of this, and his face couldn't help but blush slightly.
.However, at this time, there is no room for mercy. Cao Peng's appearance here shows that the military advisor's plan has been seen through by the opponent! And Zhuge Liang used the strategy of attacking from the east to the west this time. Liu Bei stationed outside the east gate, making everyone think that
, if Liu Bei captures Xiangyang, he must seize the east gate and enter.
But in fact, Zhuge Liang's arrangement was at the north gate.
He asked Zhao Yun to lead 300 white men to sneak into Xiangyang City first, and then used heavy money to bribe the Jingxiang bandits and Wuling Wuxi barbarian mountain people to cause chaos in the city, causing Xiangyang to become chaotic. Afterwards, Zhuge Liang ordered people to pretend to attack the east gate, but failed.
He ordered Zhang Fei and his troops to hide outside the north gate. Once Yi Ji took action, he should cooperate with the outside. Zhao Yun seized the north gate to ensure that Zhang Fei could attack the city and take advantage of the chaos to seize Xiangyang.
Today is the seventh day of Liu Biao's reign. Under the rule of the nine counties of Jingxiang and Xiangzhou, anyone with some reputation will gather in Xiangyang.
As long as Xiangyang is captured and Liu Qi is welcomed back, Jingxiang can be determined...
Who knew that Cao Peng would be in Xiangyang!
If Cao Peng's appearance was beyond Zhao Yun's expectation, then there is something abnormal about Cao Peng hiding in the north gate!
Even Zhao Yun himself was not very clear about Zhuge Liang's plan.
He didn't know his mission until he set out in the early morning. But why did Cao Peng, as if he had no idea, go ahead and ambush at the north gate?
Zhao Yun's heart trembled, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Where is Congzhi?"
From then on, Liu Bei's fake son Liu Feng was born.
He was also the assistant who sneaked into Xiangyang City with Zhao Yun this time. The two had already agreed that once they took action, Zhao Yun would seize the door and Liu Feng would stop the enemy. For this reason, Zhao Yun also specially assigned two hundred white men soldiers and handed them over to Commander Liu Feng in the hope that he could
Help Liu Feng and successfully complete the mission.
However, the shouts of killing were already heard below the city gate.
Why has Liu Feng been silent for so long?
A strange idea flashed through Zhao Yun's mind in the lightning flash, and his heart couldn't help but become chaotic. It was this chaos that Cao Peng was keenly aware of. He was originally forced to retreat by Zhao Yun, but he couldn't help but feel confused.
Suddenly, there is a countermeasure...
"Zilong, are you waiting for the bandits?"
"What did you say?"
"Haha, if I didn't follow you, how would I know what you did today!"
"What did you say?"
Zhao Yun originally just made a guess, but at this time, he was shocked.
Cao Peng called Liu Feng Kou Congzhi, which was not wrong originally. Liu Feng's original surname was Kou, but later he became Liu Bei's pretender and changed his surname to Liu.
After hearing Cao Peng say Liu Feng's name, Zhao Yun knew that there was no lie in this matter.
Otherwise, how could he know that Liu Feng followed him to Xiangyang? In other words, Zhuge Liang's plan this time was very likely to fail... and at the same time, the Yiji's action to seize the prefecture was probably unlikely to succeed.
Xiangyang has already taken precautions.
Outside the city, the sound of iron hoofbeats is getting closer and closer!
Zhang Fei led his troops and headed straight for the north gate of Xiangyang. He was about to arrive at the north gate. He could even see the chaos inside the city gate. Zhang Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly urged his horse to gallop over. But at this moment,
Suddenly I heard the drums beating loudly and rumbling on the city tower. A group of men and horses suddenly came out from the side. The leader was a veteran, with gray beard and hair, and a strong spirit. He had a yellow gelding on his hip and a big sword in his hand.
He took the lead and rushed forward like a gust of wind.
The big sword danced in the palm, the cloud of swords rolled, and the strong wind roared. Two Liu Bei army lieutenant generals rode towards the enemy, but they were killed by the veteran general in the blink of an eye.
"Huang Zhong, the butcher, has been ordered to wait here for a long time!"
A group of cavalry roared and rushed into Liu Bei's army. Liu's soldiers were caught off guard and were attacked and immediately panicked. Zhang Fei turned around and saw Huang Zhong wielding his sword and galloping through the chaos.
, suddenly became furious. With a roar, he spurred his horse and rushed towards Huang Zhong. The two horses faced each other and exchanged swords and spears. A loud noise echoed in the sky outside Xiangyang City, and the two men immediately fought together.
At the same time, although Zhao Yun was a little panicked, there was no flaw in his hand.
In terms of skill, he was slightly superior to Cao Peng.
The sword in his hand danced, forcing Cao Peng to retreat continuously. However, he had the upper hand, but his troops gradually became unable to withstand him. Zhao Yun did not lead many people, but Zhang Fei was outside the city.
Huang Zhong blocked him again and was unable to come to his aid for a while.
The Jingzhou soldiers and horses in the city came in a steady stream and surrounded the white men.
Although Zhao Yun was brave, Cao Peng was not a weak hand. Cao Peng held Zhao Yun with a sword and a shield, making him unable to escape. The white men were leaderless and could only fight on their own. In the blink of an eye, Jingzhou was ambushed inside the north city gate.
The soldiers and horses were wiped out. Kuai Yue personally led his generals to the city tower, commanded the Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and began to counterattack. Zhao Yun saw that the situation was over, and there were fewer and fewer troops in the cave. He knew that this time
The operation has failed. If he continues to fight with Cao Peng, he will either be killed or captured.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun made a false move with his sword and forced Cao Peng back.
A spear was thrust at him, and he retreated. He picked up the two-foot-long silver spear from the ground, grabbed an unowned war horse, jumped up, and turned away. Cao Peng didn't hesitate, and hurriedly shouted to his father.
Then he led the horse over. He mounted the liger, held a painting pole and a halberd, and rode in pursuit. Although Kuai Yue tried to stop him, Cao Peng turned a deaf ear. If Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun joined forces, Huang Zhong would be in danger.
Seeing this situation, Kuai Yue felt helpless.
He quickly ordered the city gates to be opened and the entire army dispatched to prevent Cao Peng from being in danger.
"Yide, go quickly."
"Zilong, why are you retreating?"
"Liu Congzhi has surrendered to Cao Cao, Xiangyang has colluded with the Cao family, and his plan has been exposed. If he does not retreat, the whole army may be annihilated... There must be danger on the lord's side. You and I go to rescue the lord quickly, and I will break up the rear... Let's
Let’s meet in Fancheng and let’s discuss it later.”
Zhang Fei forced Huang Zhong back with a spear.
"I have known for a long time that that hypocrite is not a kind person."
Since people already know the plan, they must be prepared.
If we attack by force at this time, let alone whether we can capture Xiangyang, even if we attempt to capture Xiangyang, we will definitely lose our troops and generals.
Moreover, Liu Bei was bound to be threatened at the east gate...Zhang Fei turned his horse and left without saying a word. Huang Zhong was about to catch up, but was stopped by Zhao Yun.
At this time, Cao Peng also came closer.
When Zhao Yun saw Jingzhou's soldiers and horses dispatched, he also knew that he could not be willing to fight, so he feigned a shot and turned his horse away.
Huang Zhong wanted to chase, but Cao Peng said: "General Han Sheng, there is no need to chase!"
"Sir, why did you abandon me instead of pursuing me?"
Huang Zhong was a little puzzled, so he asked.
Cao Peng said: "The wisest thing is to not chase after a poor enemy...Liu Bei is not taking things easy, and has many warriors under his command. In addition, Zhuge Kongming is there to make plans. Even if this plan fails, General Wenpin may not be able to get any benefits. This is inside Jingzhou.
You and I do not need to participate in the conflict for now. After I meet Mrs. Cai, I will officially take over Jingxiang and have more opportunities to confront Liu Bei, so why rush it?"
At this time, Xiangyang City was in chaos.
Commander Kuai Yue came and stopped in front of Cao Peng's horse. He bowed his hands and said, "Master Cao, thank you for your hard work!"
"How is the situation in the city?"
"Don't think about it, young master. A few clowns are enough to be promoted to princes.
Since the young master has shown up today, why not pay a visit to the madam and the young master first?"
"I'm about to go visit you!"
After Cao Peng said this, he ordered Huang Zhong to withdraw his troops.
Kuai Yue personally accompanied him and rode side by side with Cao Peng, slowly heading towards Xiangyang City.
The north gate of Xiangyang has returned to normal. Jingzhou soldiers and horses have taken over the defense. Seeing Kuai Yue and Cao Peng coming, they all bowed and saluted the two...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++
Maybe, some people will be surprised.
Wasn't Cao Peng fighting with Jingzhou in Wancheng? Why did he suddenly appear in Xiangyang City?
This story starts with the death of Liu Biao due to illness...
After Liu Biao died of illness, the Kuai Yue brothers cooperated with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to quickly seize control. The Cai family originally wanted to join Cao Cao, but they had no chance. After Kuai Yue and Cai Mao discussed it, they sent Cai Yue to Cao Cao the day after Liu Biao died of illness.
He went to Nanyang to contact Cao Peng.
Cao Peng originally only agreed and accepted Cai's request to surrender.
But Jia Xu believed that although the Cai family controlled Xiangyang, it was not stable.
Not to mention that Liu Bei was eyeing him, but Jiangxia Liu Qi would not give up... If they could not be gathered together as soon as possible, there would be unrest in Jingxiang. Therefore, Jia Xu persuaded Cao Peng to come to Xiangyang to meet Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and help them stabilize the situation.
The situation of living in Jingzhou... The reason why Cao Peng went to Xiangyang was also based on Jia Xu's consideration. When Cai Mao surrendered to Cao Cao, he needed someone who could reassure the people of Jingzhou to accept him.
Cao Peng was not only born in Nanyang, but also claimed to be a disciple of Pang Degong.
These two identities alone are enough to stabilize many Jingzhou people... He has enough reputation and status to serve as Cao Cao's representative. At the same time, Jia Xu sent people to Xudu at night to implore Xun Yu.
Mobilize troops and horses and send troops to Jingxiang.
In this way, Xiangyang can be captured without any loss of blood.
Before Cao Peng set out, Jia Xu also handed over to Cao Peng several chess pieces that he had already arranged in Xiangyang City.
In addition to Cai Zhong and Cai He, a member of the Cai family, Jia Xu also specially introduced a person to Cao Peng, "This person's name is Liu Cong, also named Meng Ming, and he is a descendant of the Liu family in Changsha. Because he is from a side branch, he is not known to the family.
Zhong, in Xiangyang City, runs some small businesses... I recruited this person not intentionally. But I didn't expect that this person brought me a surprise... He asked me to lower one person. "
"Who did he say he surrendered?"
"Hey, that's Liu Bei's fake, Liu Feng!"
Cao Peng was really shocked when he heard this.
Jia Xu actually said that he would surrender Liu Feng?
This was beyond Cao Peng's expectation, and it gave him a little more confidence in his mission to Xiangyang.
"Sir, Degui is here!"
Kuai Yue suddenly spoke up.
Cao Peng looked up and saw a group of people approaching on the long street. The man in the lead was Cai Mao, wearing a golden helmet and a horse, with a sword under his ribs.
