Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops entered Sishang City. The people along the road knelt on the ground. Among them, an old man in his sixties led three thousand people to kneel down. The old man held a staff and said: "Old Deng Man respectfully welcomes General Cao.

Enter the city!"

"Deng Man!" Cao Cao pinched his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Old man, your name is very popular in my ears. My spies in the city came to report that it was you who inspired the people and assisted Wang Zhen in defending the city!"

"I know that my sin is serious, but today I risk beheading to ask General Cao to agree!" Deng Man was frightened when he heard Cao Cao's words. The growth of his age has made him look down on life and death.

, speaking in a calm and calm manner.

"I promised Wang Zhen not to massacre this city. If nothing happens, please get out of the way!" Cao Cao waved his hand to signal Deng Man not to stop him. He would not break his promise.

"No! I beg you, General Cao, to let me wait for you to be the king. Generals Chen and Chu collect the corpses." Deng Man took his time, his pale hair swaying from side to side in the cold wind, and the dusk of the setting sun shone on his face.

Above, it looks desolate.

"Yes!" Cao Cao was not unkind. He looked at Cao Pi behind him and waved, and then Cao Pi ordered two centurions to bring their bodies.

Four soldiers, each carrying a corpse wrapped in straw, were dragged over. When many people saw it, they immediately howled and burst into tears. The entire city was filled with grief and anger, and more and more people came to watch.

Some people kowtowed from time to time, and some kept wiping their tears, including men, women, old and young.

Cao Cao sighed and turned his horse's head. He knew that although Wang Zhen and Chen Chu were dead, they still lived in the hearts of these people.

These people cut down wood to make coffins, broke the ground to make caves, and built tombs for the two of them with bluestones. Some skilled craftsmen carved the faces of the two people with stones, and placed them one on the left and one on the right in front of Chu Chu's gate. Some talented people commemorated his achievements.

Books and articles spread the praises, and the people even spontaneously built temples for them. Fifty years later, this place has become a famous scenic spot, driving local economic development.

After Cao Cao took control of Sishang, he left behind Cao Wenzhao's 30,000 soldiers and horses. Cao Cao led an army of 150,000 troops and marched to Pengcheng. Han Qinhu also successfully captured Lucheng, and his troops pointed directly at Pengcheng. A battle to destroy the country began.

Start.

Xiang Yu's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses returned to Pengcheng along the road. Xiang Yu was quite worried about the fighting situation in Pengcheng, so he led a thousand overlords to go ahead and support Pengcheng. The transportation task was given to Commander Shi Qian.

Originally, Xiang Yu planned to let Jing Si transport this batch of important supplies back to Pengcheng, but now he only had one confidant, Jing Si. However, Xiang Yu couldn't bear it, and finally handed over the task to Shi Qian and returned it to Shi Qian.

There are two lieutenants, one is Lin Guang and the other is named Chu Ding.

"Drive!" Ma Yuan and General Deng Xia rode on their war horses. Their tiger eyes glanced at the movements of Shi Qian's army, and then turned their horses and returned to the army. Wu Qi's 100,000 troops had been lying here for a long time.

Ma Yuan and Deng Xia explained the situation truthfully. Wu Qi warmed up the campfire with a smile, took a breath of hot air, and said solemnly: "I have a plan, I don't know if the two generals are interested!"

"General, just say it's okay!" Deng Xia seemed to have no inhibitions, but he still had a gauze tied around his chest.

Wu Qi scratched his head and then said: "Destroy this army first, then disguise its troops and horses, attack the city overnight, and capture Xiang Yu's Pengcheng in one fell swoop.

The two looked at each other and immediately felt that Wu Qi's method was good. Deng Xia shouldered his silver spear and laughed loudly and said: "General Wu Qi, give me five thousand troops, and I will lead the battle!"

"Young General Deng Xia is really brave and brave, but I am not worried about you being injured. So be it! This battle will be left to General Ma Yuan for the time being. Deng Xia, how about you become a deputy general!" Wu Qi glanced at Deng Xia's wounds.

, stroking his beard.

"This...!" Deng Xia hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's the same for everyone! Give the order!"

"Okay! I'll leave this matter to General Ma Yuan!" Wu Qi raised his hand to Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan understood immediately, turned over and mounted the horse, looked at the five thousand men behind him, and shouted angrily: "Drive!"

"Thump...thump...!" The whole ground was shaking, and Ma Yuan's five thousand light cavalry rushed towards Shi Qian's army at high speed.

Feng Yi crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the cold wind blew on Feng Yi's cheeks. Feng Yi said: "How is the battle situation on the front line..."

"Han Xin gathered another 200,000 soldiers and horses, and among them was a little boy named Li Jing. I heard that he is an official of the prince's palace and a confidant of the prince." Wu Qi squinted his eyes, looking thoughtful.

The king begins to delegate power!

Feng Yi and Wu Qi looked at each other. They both had this idea in their minds. They knew each other tacitly, but it didn't have much influence on them. They were only responsible for taking orders from Han Yi and only listened to Han Yi. Han Chen thought

You have to order them unless you inherit a big position.

Ma Yuan came to the back of Shi Qian's army and looked at the battlefield up and down. The battlefield was flat on all sides, with only a few scattered small trees. Ma Yuan stroked his beard and said to Deng Xia beside him: "This terrain is extremely suitable for me.

"Army rushes into formation"

"Then what are you waiting for! The whole army charges!" Deng Xia clamped his horse's belly tightly and charged towards the enemy at the head of the horse. With the three-pointed two-edged sword in one hand, he looked very powerful and majestic.

"Slow down!" Ma Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "You and I will divide our forces and advance. You lead three thousand cavalry to attract him from the front, and I will ambush from the flanks! Attack him from both sides and catch him off guard.

"Okay..." Deng Xia thought about the same truth, but Ma Yuan no longer delayed, turned the horse's head, and killed towards the left wing of the cavalry.

"Drive...!" The war horse turned around in both directions and began to quickly close the distance with the enemy.

"Charge" Deng Xia took the lead in launching the attack, and the soldiers under his command were all extremely ferocious.

"Rumble...plop!" The hoofs of the war horses and the roar of the soldiers spread across the entire battlefield in an instant.

"Don't let the enemy attack!" Chu Ding was the first to react, urging his horses to the back of the convoy, looking at the helpless soldiers on both sides, and shouted angrily: "Form up! The swordsmen and axe-hands will form a formation!"

"Array in front! Ha!" Thousands of swordsmen shouted angrily, holding shields in front of them with their left hands and swords in their right hands.

Shi Qian frowned, as if he had already expected the current result. Cold sweat broke out on Shi Qian's forehead. He turned his horse's head and shouted angrily: "Get ready for war!"

"Kill!" Ma Yuan, who had been prepared for a long time, urged his horse to move, waved the Dragon Elephant Ancient Nose Sword in his hand, stared at Shi Qian sternly, grinned and sneered: "The thief will die!"

"Asshole! You've fallen into the trap!" Shi Qian then noticed that Deng Xia's three thousand cavalry were simply a trick to attract the soldiers' attention. The real main force was Ma Yuan's troops.

Originally, among the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, 7,000 soldiers had joined Chu Ding's defensive formation, but now the horsemen were coming to kill, which immediately made people's scalp numb. Shi Qian looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth, brandished his sword and shouted angrily: "Come on, general."

Stop being so arrogant, I, Shi Qian, will come and behead you!"

"Crack...whoosh!" Ma Yuan urged his horse to fight, but he just met him and knocked over Shi Qian's weapon. Then he killed Shi Qian under the horse with a backhand knife.

"Thump!" A headless corpse fell to the ground, shaking up countless smoke and dust.

"How dare the thief make a mistake, let's look at a certain silver gun!" Lin Guang's eyes were blood red, and he immediately urged his horse to rush out. The weapon in his hand swept up and down, brushing out two spear flowers, and stabbed Ma Yuan's chest and throat respectively.

"Pa!" Ma Yuan grabbed the gun with his bare hands, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and shouted angrily: "Come here!"

"Pa...!" Lin Guang was dragged over along the spear. Ma Yuan grinned and sneered, swinging the sword in his hand.

"Crack! Another good man's head fell in battle, and blood spread all over Ma Yuan's face. Ma Yuan wiped his cheek without caring, grinned and shouted angrily: "Attack with the whole army and destroy them!"

"Kill...kill..."

Chu Ding was attacked from both sides, but in the end he could not bear the pressure and was beheaded by Deng Xia with a single sword.

Afterwards, the two men continued to attack and kill, but they failed to prevent the news from being leaked, but none of the tens of thousands of soldiers were left behind.

As a result of these people, Ma Yuan sent an order to Wu Qi. Wu Qi followed the current and sent tens of thousands of soldiers to pick up armor and replace it on the spot. Among the supplies transported, there were tens of thousands of armor. If these people put on armor, if you don't look carefully,

Can't guess it at all.

Wu Qi immediately sent a letter to Cao Cao and Han Qinhu, asking them to quickly lead their troops to join the battle.

Han Xin, Yuan Chonghuan, and Li Jing all came with their soldiers, accompanied by thousands of catapults, intending to attack by force.

Wu Qi, Cao Cao, and Han Qinhu gathered together, and hundreds of thousands of troops marched day and night, just to shorten the marching distance.

Ma Yuan's ten thousand troops rushed to Pengcheng at midnight on September 27th.

Wu Qi, Cao Cao and Han Qinhu stood side by side with swords in their hands, their expressions solemn and anxious. They were all waiting for the final signal. As soon as the opportunity came, tens of thousands of troops would immediately press the border and break through Pengcheng.

Ma Yuan found a general who looked like Shi Qian and sounded like Shi Qian. The guard generals on Pengcheng were two brothers, named Tu Jinxiu and Tu Jinniu. They were twin brothers. Because they were quite brave in battle, they were recruited by Xiang Yu.

Promoted to general to guard the city gate.

"Who is on duty on the city wall? Open the door quickly!" Fake Shi Qian originally wanted to ask which brother was on the city wall, but then he thought about calling him that, which might mess him up. After all, he didn't know Shi Qian's connections in Pengcheng.

How is the relationship? He can only give a decent shout, so that the enemy can't find any flaws for the time being. This shows that this person is also quite smart.

"Oh! Who is coming! Tell me your name!" Earth Taurus rubbed his heavy eyelids, hunched his waist, and looked at the crooked torch outside the city, like a winding fire snake, illuminating the people moving forward.

road.

"I am Shi Qian. I am escorting the supplies under the king's order. Open the door quickly!" The fake Shi Qian squinted his eyes and pretended to be calm while shouting, but he was a little panicked inside.

"Is there a city-wide token!" Tujinniu said with a solemn expression.

"Yes!" The fake Shi Qian took out a token from his arms. This was found from Shi Qian's body. The fake Shi Qian handed it to a soldier. After the soldier took the token, he ran into the city, where the hanging was also put down.

Basket, the soldier put the token into the basket and walked back to the military formation.

Earth Taurus pulled up the hanging basket and looked up and down at the token by the light of the torch. Seeing that it was genuine and correct, he was about to issue an order. The fake Shi Qian below could not sit still and said: "Are you sure? How tired are you brothers?

Damn it, why don’t you hurry up and open the city!”

"I know! What are you urging me to do? Urgent!" Tu Jinniu cursed angrily, and was about to order the city gate to be opened. After all, Xiang Yu had explained this matter before, Tu Jinxiu, who had not shown his face, stepped forward and held Tu Jinniu down.

Jinniu immediately shouted to the people below the city: "The city gate is closed! This is the king's prohibition. The city is not allowed to open except at Mao time. Tonight, I have wronged all the brothers to stay outside the city gate all night. My two brothers will definitely be safe on the famous day."

Come to your door and confess!"

"You guys...!" Fake Shi Qian was about to curse angrily, but Ma Yuan reached out to stop him. After giving him a look, Fake Shi Qian shouted angrily: "Set up camp on the spot!"

"No!" Everyone also relied on orders to act, but Tu Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily gave up many thoughts.

Ma Yuan walked back and forth in the military camp and said with a solemn expression: "Xiang Yu must recognize Shi Qian. If we wait until tomorrow morning, I'm afraid...!"

"There is no need to rush at this time. Let's ask General Wu Qi for advice first..." Feng Yi gave his answer directly, and everyone responded as they should, riding horses to attack Wu Qi's military camp.

In the account

Wu Qi, Cao Cao, and Han Qinhu sat together, staring at Ma Yuan who hurried back. Wu Qi stroked his beard and said with many thoughts: "I am too anxious after all!"

"Maybe it will be exposed tomorrow morning! If you really can't do it, use the spies in the city!" Cao Cao exhaled a long breath and said solemnly.

"No! There are too many informants in the city. Maybe the whole army will be annihilated. Let's do this! Tomorrow at Mao, we will tell Chu Ding that his old injury has relapsed and needs medical treatment. Let them open the door quickly and see if they can cheat it!" Han Qin said

The tiger is thoughtful.

"It's useless!" Wu Qi shook his head, took a sip of tea and said, "Based on the test just now, Shi Qian and others don't have much influence in Xiang Jun, so the emotional card is useless!"

"Then what should we do!" Ma Yuan said with a solemn expression.

"Withdraw the troops and horses for the time being! Attack the city tomorrow!" Wu Qi didn't want his thousands of soldiers to become cannon fodder, so he finally decided to take action.

That’s why! On the morning of the next day, the Tujinxiu brothers just opened their eyes and looked outside the city, but they saw that the original grain transport troops were not there. Instead, there was an army of 450,000 from Wu Qi, Cao Cao and others. The powerful oppressive force made them

Tu Jinxiu and others had dry lips, and they were suddenly glad that they did not open the door yesterday, otherwise! No matter whether the city was defended or not, they would not survive.

And in the city

Zheng Zukai and Han Long have been sneaking into Pengcheng for half a month. After receiving the assassination order, they came to Pengcheng. This time they only assassinated one target, Yafu Fan Zeng, and Han Yi committed suicide.

The order was to kill him no matter how high the price was. As long as he was dead, Han Yi could proceed with his next plan.
