Disturbing someone's erotic dreams is definitely a shameful thing.
When the doorman cursed and walked out of the door to open the door, he would never have thought that this would be the last time he opened the door of the county house.
The doorman opened the small door a crack and looked out the door while cursing in Jun dialect.
But at this moment, there was a muffled sound. The small door was knocked open by a huge force, and the doorman flew out. He fell hard to the ground of the patio, and blood spurted out from his mouth. Before he could stand up and look,
After clearing the situation, he saw a white figure appear in his sight. A cold light passed by, wiping away the choked throat. Blood mist spattered, Men Ding covered his neck and looked at the young man standing in front of him in horror.
He made a "beep, ho, ho, ho" sound from his mouth, but he couldn't say a word... The young man's eyes were as calm as water, and he didn't even pay attention to the expression of the doorman. He dragged the knife and walked towards the back house of the county house, drifting away as if
A white ghost.
It's a ghost!
I was killed by a ghost...
This was Mending's last thought, and he immediately fell into a pool of blood and died.
Blood flowed out from under his body and soon stained the ground red. His body was twitching and twitching, it looked so weird!
The movement at the gate aroused some of the servants' ideas.
When Cao Peng walked inside along the gravel-paved patio path, a group of servants swarmed over.
"who!"
"Who dares to break into the county government at night..."
Cao Peng smiled slightly and ignored him at all.
From the dark shadows in the courtyard, a dozen ghostly figures suddenly sprang out.
Bang bang bang...
There was a series of machine sounds, and more than a dozen steel crossbows flew out, fiercely piercing the throat of the servant who was walking at the front. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen flying claws were shot out, and the sharp iron claws smashed into those servants to death.
On their bodies, the slender but tough rope was wrapped around their necks, and the black shadow exerted force at the same time, dragging the bodies of the dozen servants into the low bushes.
The black shadow disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Of the more than thirty servants, more than twenty died in an instant.
The remaining servants had not yet reacted, but Cao Peng suddenly accelerated. The iron meteors fired continuously, roaring through the air, and instantly knocked the five servants to the ground. Immediately, he rushed into the crowd, and his body moved among the crowd.
Dodge, and draw a series of strange arcs with a sharp blade. When Cao Peng put away the knife and left, there were only corpses left in the courtyard, lying in a pool of blood, without any signs of life.
It’s too late to say it, but it will be soon!
This ferocious fight lasted less than twenty breaths.
Cao Peng's snow-white clothes were stained with blood.
The blood flowed silently along the edge of the steel knife in his hand, leaving behind him one eye-catching drop of blood after another.
The lethality of fifty dark warriors was undoubtedly astonishing in this era.
Under the joint training of Cao Peng and Shi A, they are good at assassination, know how to hide their traces, and move like ghosts.
In such a large county, there are more than a hundred servants.
But apart from the thirty or so people Cao Peng met at the beginning, he could not see a single person along the way.
Outside a moon gate, fifty secret warriors gathered together.
Everyone's body looked very neat and tidy, with no trace of blood on them.
"Clean!"
The leader of the secret guards bowed in front of Cao Peng and reported.
Clean?
That is to say, in this county, except for the courtyard in front of you, no one can be found alive. This is the skill of the dark warrior. He killed more than a hundred people without making any sound, let alone alerting others.
"Ten people, watch the door.
It is estimated that Wang Shuang and Meng Ming will take action soon!"
"Here!"
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he walked directly into the courtyard.
This is the residence of Liao Zhong, the magistrate of Xiajun County, and he is the only one living here.
Everyone in the county government was dead, but the county chief was still drunk and unconscious, lying on the couch and falling asleep soundly...
However, when Cao Peng walked into the house, the warrior's instinct still made Liao Zhong feel a little vigilant.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the lights in the room were brightly lit. A young man was sitting next to him with a strange smile on his face.
"Who are you!"
Liao Zhong immediately asked loudly.
In fact, he also knows that this is nonsense.
The young man in front of him was covered in blood, and a bloody steel knife was placed on his neck. It was obvious that he was not a close friend.
"I am Cao Peng. I came here today to ask Liao County for my convenience."
"What's the convenience...ah, you said, you are Cao Peng?"
Liao Zhong shivered for no reason.
He opened his eyes wide and asked stammering: "General Hengye, Cao Peng?"
"Exactly."
Liao Zhong suddenly took a breath of cold air and woke up from all the alcohol. However, he did not dare to act rashly because the strong smell of blood from the steel knife on his neck made him tremble with fear. As long as Cao Peng's hand If he exerts his strength, his head will definitely fall to the ground.
"What does General Cao mean by coming here?"
Liao Zhong's voice was loud.
Cao Peng said: "Don't play tricks, county magistrate. You are the only one in this county who can breathe now."
Let me make it clear... I came to Xiajun not to kill people, but just to borrow Xiajun. County Magistrate Liao is a smart man and should know my intention. I don’t want to commit more crimes, so I hope County Magistrate Liao My boss can cooperate and help me stabilize the situation."
Can Liao Zhong still understand?
It's a pity that he has no martial arts skills, but now he can't move.
Cao Peng continued: "The Liao family in Zhonglu is also one of the best families in Jingzhou. I once said that affairs in Jingzhou are governed by the people of Jing... But you, the Liao family, are so ignorant that you are bent on being enemies with the imperial court. I should say What are you good at? That Liu Qi is just an outsider, but you, Mr. Liao, are wholeheartedly helping him; if you just help Liu Qi, that's it, you also have to help that *** Liu Bei...
Don't give up on a great future, but you will have to ruin your family.
There is a saying: How can you be a thief when you are a beautiful woman?
Speaking of which, we are half fellow countrymen, so I am willing to give you a chance. If you can help me calm the Xiajun war, I will guarantee to the Prime Minister that you will re-establish the Liao family. Think about it carefully, even if you help Liu Bei
If we win, can we still gain a foothold in Jingzhou?
At that time, Mi Zhu Mi Fang was also considered a wealthy family in the East China Sea.
But now...
I know that this may not be your idea. But you should think about it carefully, consider it for your Liao family, and then make a decision."
Cao Peng's words used both soft and hard tactics, including threats and inducements.
Your Liao family is the Liao family of Jingzhou. Why don't you protect Jingzhou's interests and instead help a group of outsiders to seize Jingzhou?
I also know that you may not be willing, but you are just forced to do so.
Then I will give you a chance now. You can make a choice. Let the Liao family continue to take root and thrive in Jingzhou, or continue to be stubborn. If you are willing to help me, I can help you become the head of the Liao family and become the head of the Liao family.
May your Liao family be prosperous and prosperous in Jingzhou.
The reason why Liao Zhong joined Liu Bei was not his original intention.
However, Liao transformed into an elder of the clan and was bewitched by the five Ma brothers, and decided to help Liu Bei achieve his great cause. At that time, Liao Zhong expressed opposition, but could not make Liao Hua change his mind. In his heart, he had no sense of belonging to Liu Bei.
.Especially after Cao Cao entered Xiangyang, the Liao family, which used to be considered a wealthy family in Jingxiang, suddenly fell apart, and most of them even left their hometowns.
This made Liao Zhong very dissatisfied.
Cao Peng is right. For a powerful family, the location of their family is their foundation.
If you leave your ancestral home and leave your hometown, it will be difficult for a powerful person to be powerful... This is most obvious in the Mi family. At that time, the Mi family was in Donghai County. Although it was not an aristocratic family, it was one of the top powerful people in the area. Several generations of management have made the Mi family's foundation deeply rooted.
, huge power. Even though Cao Peng later cut off the salt road of the Mi family and the vitality of the Mi family was greatly damaged, it still had great influence in Donghai County.
But later, the Mi family left the East China Sea with Liu Bei, and it was considered to be completely in decline.
Even if they are related to Liu Bei, it will be difficult for them to develop and grow. In the end, they even have to look at other people's faces... The reason why Mi Zhu was able to make up his mind and follow the advice of Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi to go to the northwest. On the one hand, there are certainly some
On the other hand, he also knew that with the current ability of the Mi family, it would be extremely difficult to maintain their current status, even unimaginable.
With no financial resources, no local power, and no super strong force to back it up, how can we face opposition from all sides?
Although my sister is married to Liu Bei, she may not be favored.
You see, Mrs. Gan gave birth to a child, and Mrs. Xiang gave birth to a child, but Mrs. Mi didn't make any movement. Doesn't it also explain the situation?
Liu Bei's love for the Mi family was decreasing day by day.
Today it is the Mi family, and tomorrow it may be the Liao family.
Can the Liao family, which has lost its roots, really achieve unparalleled achievements and shine as Liao Hua said?
Liao Zhong is not a child. He has his own account in his heart, and he has calculated the future clearly and clearly... This is also one of the reasons why after Liao Zhong took charge of Xiajun, he never drank and was always drunk.
. He felt uncomfortable in his heart and could not see the future clearly. How could he not be depressed in his heart? How could he not drink away his sorrow?
"Does the general mean what he said?"
"really!"
"Can you really guarantee that the Prime Minister will not hold me accountable for the Liao family's fault?"
"Can!"
Liao Zhong closed his eyes and said after a while: "The Chief of Dongguan is my nephew. I can surrender to the general and persuade the nephew to give up resistance. I just hope that the general can keep his promise and protect my Liao family. Liao Zhong will be extremely grateful to return to Zhonglu."
"At the beginning, I promised my wife that I would protect her, mother and son, wealth for the rest of their lives.
Now Mr. Cong is the Marquis of Guannei and the governor of Qingzhou. Although he has little power, he is safe and happy. I once told Mr. Cong that future matters can only depend on his own ability, and I cannot give him much help. Now I have the same attitude towards your Liao family.
The future of the Liao family depends on you, the Liao family.
What I can do now is to ensure that your Liao family is rebuilt in Zhonglu..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
An assassin reported at the door: "Sir, the beacon fire at Xiguan has been lit. General Wang Shuang must have occupied Xiguan at this time."
Liao Zhong was startled.
Cao Peng stood up suddenly and put away the steel knife.
"County Magistrate Liao, we need to make an early decision on where to go.
I'm not afraid that you will know that I still have three thousand soldiers and horses on Fengcheng Ridge, and we will definitely capture the county seat within half an hour. I'm just telling you so much to avoid unnecessary killings. Now, I need to know The answer is, do you, County Magistrate Liao, surrender or remain stubborn?"
Cao Peng stood in front of the couch with his hands behind his back, his eyes bright.
Liao Zhong slowly sat up and looked at Cao Peng. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said softly: "Liao Zhong is not a person who knows good and evil. I can understand the general's hard work. The general is a real person, so Liao Zhong will stop talking nonsense." Liao Zhong is willing to surrender and help the general occupy Xiajun."
After saying this, Liao Zhong prostrated on the ground and expressed his submission to Cao Peng.
Cao Peng laughed!
He stepped forward and helped Liao Zhong up, took a deep breath and said, "In this way, the people of Xiajun will definitely be grateful to the county magistrate for his decision today."
Now that it's settled, there's no need to continue to struggle.
Liao Zhong quickly put on his clothes and armor and followed Cao Peng out of the county house.
Along the way, I saw corpses everywhere. The whole county was silent, which only made people feel terrified.
Liao Zhong secretly rejoiced that he had made a correct decision. Since Cao Peng dared to do this, he must have prepared a complete countermeasure. Xiguan was captured, but the direction of the North Campus was quiet. There was only one possibility, and that was the North The soldiers in the school field are already finished...
As Cao Peng walked out of the county gate, he saw Xiguan City closed and flames rising into the sky.
In the direction of Dongguan, the news was obviously also received. There were long and long blasts of horns, apparently soldiers and horses were gathering to prepare to rush to Xiguan.
At Dongguan Bridge, Liu Cong was ready.
Fifty secret soldiers armed with swords and guns were hidden on both sides of the long street, preparing to carry out a fatal ambush when the Dongguan reinforcements arrived. Various obstacles were placed on the long street, which could effectively block the advancement of the reinforcements. When Cao Peng and his party When they arrived at Dongguan Bridge, Liu Cong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran forward to greet Cao Peng.
"Let everyone be prepared, I will lead people to stop the enemy head-on."
Cao Peng looked calm and asked Liu Cong to go down and make arrangements.
At this time, there was a burst of dense footsteps coming from the direction of Dongguan. The sounds of collision and the faint sounds of collisions could be heard, as well as the shouts of soldiers.
In the distance, you can see a fire dragon approaching Dongguan Bridge quickly.
Cao Peng stood at the end of the bridge, looked up, then turned to Liao Zhong and said: "County Magistrate Liao, the next step is up to you!"
Liao Zhong hurriedly bowed and obeyed the order, striding towards the reinforcements.
"I am Lieutenant Commander Liao Zhong, but I am Jichang's nephew. I am here to lead the troops..."
On the Dongguan Bridge, Liu Cong suddenly came behind Cao Peng and asked with some uneasiness: "Master, can you trust this guy?"
"oh?"
"What if he pretends to surrender..."
Cao Peng smiled, "Could it be that Meng Ming couldn't last even half an hour?"
"Of course you can insist."
"Then why are you afraid of him?"
Confidence has been based on strength since ancient times. If you have such strong strength, you can have great confidence.
Cao Peng's words immediately relieved Liu Cong's nervous mood. Yes, so what if he feigned surrender? Within half an hour, our army will surely enter the city. By then, how can the mere three hundred defenders of Dongguan do anything?
Fight with my army? This battle will be won!
Cao Peng, on the other hand, stood holding on to the bridge railing.
He looked into the distance along Junshui, his eyes sparkling...

Xiajun, without knowing it, was captured by Cao Peng.
Due to Liao Zhong's surrender, the county town was brought under control immediately, and no news was leaked.
Such a result is naturally what Cao Peng hopes to see. After Fazheng Kou Feng, Luo Meng and Wenwu led their troops into the city, Cao Peng immediately ordered to rectify military discipline and then continued to attack Guancheng.
The next day, at dawn, the people in the city walked out of their homes, only to find that Juan had changed dynasties.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were still in Han army uniforms. But the soldiers patrolling the streets were all in black clothes and armor and were in Cao army uniforms.
Cao Jun showed great kindness, especially under military orders, and did not offend Xia Junqiu.
Everything seems to have not changed much from before. Those who should do business continue to do business, and those who should go out for a walk continue to go out for a walk. Except that they cannot leave the county, everything is normal. In fact, as early as a few days ago, Xiajun
The checkpoint has been closed and people are strictly prohibited from entering and exiting at will. So at this point, there is no change. The people in Xiajun are living their own lives as usual.
Cao Peng, on the other hand, was sitting in the county seat, flipping through the files that had just been submitted.
This is the baggage list of Beixiaochang. The number is extremely shocking...
Among them, there are 30,000 bows, 470,000 arrows, 10,000 spears, 6,000 knives, and 3,000 suits of armor. In addition, there are countless supplies of food and grass, all of which were transported from Changsha County.
They are stocking up in Xiajun and are ready to send them to Jiangxia at any time. However, it seems that these things will probably not be sent to Liu Qi again. This is probably the maximum support that Changsha County can give Jiangxia now. Liu Bei attaches great importance to Jiangxia, which makes Cao Peng
More or less, I felt a little surprised. However, what surprised Cao Peng the most was not the weapons and provisions. What surprised him was the 300 rush cars sent along with the baggage, which was quite strange...
The shape of the punch car is different from the traditional punch car.
According to Liao Zhong's introduction, the main purpose of this kind of car rush is not to attack the city gate, but as a weapon for defense.
Cao Peng immediately took Fa Zheng and rushed to Beixiaochang to check.
In the center of the huge school ground, there were three hundred odd-shaped rams parked... These rams were wrapped in iron sheets and shaped like flat boats. They were pointed at both ends and wide in the middle, forming a strange arc shape. If you look at it from the appearance alone, it looks like a
The shuttle is hollow in the middle and can be filled with heavy objects. The front of the shuttle is also inlaid with barbs, which shines with a chilling light in the sun.
"How to use this?"
Liao Zhong quickly introduced: "This was designed by Zhuge Kongming himself and was successfully built at the beginning of the year.
First fill the charge car, which can weigh up to 800 kilograms. Then push it from a high place down the lane, which can produce a huge impact... If the enemy charges from a low place to a high place, a charge car can
It is extremely powerful to crush all the enemies in this lane.
It’s just that there are many restrictions on the use of this thing, I think there are some..."
This is a fucking car rush!
This is obviously an iron pulley...
Cao Peng's mind suddenly flashed back to the story about Gao favoring a gun and an iron pulley in the storytelling book "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" in his previous life, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, this thing sounds powerful, but it has too many limitations.
To put it bluntly, it feels a bit flashy and seems to be of little use.
Feeling quite disappointed, I was about to turn around and leave. But I was surprised to see Fazheng staring at the three hundred iron pulleys, his eyes rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Xiao Nao, let's go back."
Fazheng suddenly woke up, with a strange smile on his face.
He walked up to Cao Peng and whispered a few words in his ear. Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this, and asked in astonishment: "Is this really so?"
