Chapter 207 Xuzhou's Relief
In the communication channel, Cao Ren's troops were in chaos.
When Cao Ren was brought to Lu by Taishi Ci, I went over and pretended to say to Taishi Ci: "Who are you?! Why don't you let General Cao go quickly!"
Taishici kicked Cao Ren on the butt and shouted: "I came here to avenge General Dong. I will not let this guy go until the wish of revenge is fulfilled!"
Cao Ren moaned, "What do you bastard, what do you want to do?"
Taishici said: "I want to meet you General Cao Mengde and discuss a deal with him."
"You want to blackmail him? You can't do it!"
"But you can't help it!" Taishi Ci kicked him again, turned to me and said, "Your name is Liu Xuande, right? You contacted Cao Mengde through the public communication channel and said I want to see him. If he doesn't come over to see me quickly, I will kill Cao Ren!"
Cao Ren was so angry that he stamped his feet: "General Liu! Don't listen to this guy! I was too stupid to be captured by this guy. If General Cao Mengde knew about it, I would be a death sentence, but don't be treated as a bargaining chip by this guy!"
I deliberately pretended to be very panicked and said, "General Cao Ren, life is at stake. You are the right-hand man next to Cao Mengde. I dare not take this idea easily. Let Cao Mengde decide by himself." After that, I notified Cao Mengde in the communication channel that Cao Ren was captured alive by the mysterious person sent by Dong Zhongying. If he wanted Cao Ren to survive, come over quickly.
Cao Ren was sweating profusely on the side, but was restrained by Taishi Ci and had no choice. Xu Shu watched and laughed secretly.
Cao Mengde's reply came in a blink of an eye: "Xuande?! Cao Ren was arrested?! Where is it?"
"Just here, I'm above Xuzhou, you're nearby, right?"
"I'm in the 6th Army camp. Not far from you. How is Cao Ren? Are you injured?!"
"It seems to be injured, but it's not serious. Now he is being restrained and the man asks to see you."
"I'll go there right away! Stay calm him first!"
After putting down the communicator, I looked outside the porthole and saw that there were dense warships outside! Cao's aerospace forces had completely surrounded us.
Lu's weapon system is basically blind. If there is a real conflict with Cao's army, Lu may not be able to support even a single round. Now it seems that Taishici's approach is the most reliable.
Taishi Ci pulled Cao Ren and took him to an independent cabin. If Cao's army really attacked in rashly, they would not be found immediately.
Cao Mengde rushed over as fast as possible. As soon as Lu entered, he asked anxiously: "Where is Cao Ren? Where is the one who kidnapped him?"
"In the cabin here." I led him and his subordinates to the cabin where Cao Ren and Taishici were. As soon as I entered the door, Cao Mengde saw Taishici pressing Cao Ren's throat with a knife. Cao Ren's eyes turned red: "Brother Mengde, I'm sorry to you!"
"Okay, Aren, don't talk about these." Cao Mengde waved his hand and turned to Taishici: "This friend, I don't know what to call you."
Taishici said coldly: "Stop getting close. Your Cao family killed and injured General Dong in Hulao Pass. Many of General Dong's subordinates are here to seek revenge today."
"Revenge? I don't think it's that simple." Cao Mengde narrowed his eyes and said, "If you really want to take revenge, it might be better to kill Aren directly. But you kept him and didn't kill him. I think you want to make any requests to me, right?"
Taishici sneered: "Everyone else said that Cao Mengde was very tricky. When I saw him today, it was really good. I asked you, of course I wanted to make some requests to you."
"What do you want?"
"I want the head on your neck."
Cao Ren struggled and shouted, "Brother, don't!"
Cao Mengde said calmly: "What is Cao's head?! As long as you release my brother, it's okay to hand over this head to you. But if you really kill me, can you get out of this ship alive?"
I thought to myself, he doesn't need to walk out of this ship, he is my group!
A subordinate brought by Cao Mengde suddenly spoke: "You are not Dong Zhongying's person, you are a special forces soldier in Chang'an, are you? All the special forces soldiers in Chang'an had left Chang'an before Chang'an fell, and none of them surrendered to the Dong family."
The man was tall, had a white face and had big eyes, but he was slightly panting when he spoke, and seemed to be sick.
Taishici was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
"You have the tattoo of Chang'an special forces, and I happen to know the origin of the tattoo." The person who spoke bowed slightly: "I am Guo Jia. I know that the oath of Chang'an special forces is not to bully the weak and to maintain peace in the world. If there is no special reason, I will not do such a kidnapping. I don't know where General Cao offended you."
"So it's Guo Jia, who is known as the number one in the Cao family's army." Taishi Ci nodded: "Then I'd better tell me it. General Cao Mengde, I have no grudges with your Cao family. But General Tao Qian from Xuzhou should have no grudges with you. The one who killed your family was the bastard with the surname Zhang. If you are willing to give me a chance, I'm willing to find the person with the surname Zhang. Just give me ten days. Within ten days, I'll bring that bastard back for you."
Cao Mengde frowned: "So you are here to be a lobbyist for Tao Qian... Ten days? Just you?"
Taishici reached out and pushed Cao Ren to Cao Mengde: "You will definitely bring it back within ten days. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to go with me. I won't run away."
Cao Mengde touched his chin and lowered his head to ponder. Guo Jia beside him advised: "Meng De, it is actually a mistake to attack Xuzhou. Tao Qian is honest and does not lack money at home. If he can't make any mistakes, he will offend you for such a little property. Xuzhou's city defense is also very solid. Everyone in Xuzhou is willing to fight for him to death. If we attack for a strong force, even if we can conquer Xuzhou in the end, the price will probably be very high."
Cao Mengde thought for a while before sighing: "Oh, Mr. Guo, I also think I was too impulsive at that time. But it was my father who died, I... I really couldn't control myself... You were not by your side at that time, and if I were there, I wouldn't have..."
"It's okay, it's still time to withdraw the troops now. I think this special forces gentleman seems to be very sincere. I think this is better. I'll accompany him for a while. If the guy named Zhang can be captured, we will come back to report. What do you think?"
Cao Mengde said: "Of course I can trust you, but your body..."
"It's okay, I'm an old problem and I won't die for a while."
"Okay, let's follow you."
Cao Mengde reached out to Taishi Ci: "Come on, let's swear by high-fives, how about it?"
"Okay!" Taishici reached out and brimmed with Cao Mengde.
Afterwards, Taishici took Guo Jia out.
Halfway through, Guo Jia suddenly turned around and looked at me.
"General Liu Xuande, have you known this special forces gentleman before?"
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and Xu Shu next to me quickly answered for me: "I saw you for the first time today, what's wrong?"
Guo Jia looked at Xu Shu, then looked at me, and said, "General Liu Xuande's warship is designed very special, and the internal roads are complicated. General Cao and I are the first to come in. If we want to go out, we don't recognize the way. But the special forces soldier walked in front of me and led the way and was the first to go out. I feel that he should be very familiar with this ship. Besides, why didn't he board another ship, but he got on your ship directly? Why did you come to Xuzhou at this critical moment?"
I only felt a faint cold on my back. Guo Jia is worthy of being the most wise general around Cao Mengde. He is so smart that he can see the flaws at a glance!
Fortunately, Taishi Ci heard our conversation and rescued me: "We are special forces soldiers and we are first-class in recognition of the way. I remembered the roads of this ship the first time I came in. General Liu just happened to pass by here, so I got on his ship, and it would be the same if it was someone else's."
Guo Jia frowned. The answer seemed to not satisfy him, but it was reasonable, so he stopped asking questions.
The two of them got on a small aircraft and went to the wasteland outside Xuzhou to search for targets.
Cao Mengde said to me: "Xuande, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's go to my camp for a drink."
Before I could answer, suddenly, a soldier from Cao's army rushed over.
"General Cao, it's not good! Our Yanzhou was captured by Lu Fengxian!"
