Outside of Nanpi city, in Cao Jun's camp, several sentry soldiers were standing on the top of the camp and observing the movements around them. They seemed to be serious, but in fact, they were just playing around. After all, they had defeated their most powerful enemy, Yuan Shao of Hebei. The north could be said to have been truly pacified. There was no enemy left in the north. They were just waiting for the next order to go back to Xudu.
"Old Wu! Do you want to go back to Xudu, or do you want to stay in the north? "A sentry asked his comrade.
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, I want to go back to Xudu. I tell you, the north has been pacified. There will be no more wars. If you want to make a fortune, you should go back. There is still a Yangzhou army there!" Another sentry interrupted.
"Wang Er Mazi, you want to go back to Xudu, but that doesn't mean that Old Wu wants to go back. I think you are obsessed. Don't die on the battlefield. You can make money, but you can't spend it! "Someone ridiculed him.
"What are you talking about!"
"I am talking like this. What's wrong with you? You have been fighting for so many years. Haven't you had enough?"
"I am talking to Old Wu. What's wrong with you!"
"You ask Old Wu where he wants to go!"
Old Wu simply smiled, but he did not directly answer. If he really had a choice, he would still choose to stay. Although there were many things waiting to be done in the North, the most important thing was peace. To tell the truth, they were really tired of the war, and they were tired. War was a war, and people died.
In the eyes of other people, it was just a number. But in the eyes of these soldiers, it was a fresh life. Maybe one day it would be their turn, so they were not willing to fight to the death.
However, Old Wu was also smart. He didn't speak and just smiled. Because he knew that no matter what he said, he would offend people. So, it was better to not get involved and let them argue among themselves.
Thinking like this, Old Wu turned his head to the other direction.
Looking at Old Wu, the person who was arguing with them, not speaking, the two people who were arguing awkwardly smiled and closed their mouths.
"Hey, look, what's that over there?" Old Wu's eyesight was not good, so he pointed to the sky and asked the few soldiers.
"That?" Did someone's house catch fire? "From the looks of it, it's coming from Nanpi City. They couldn't help but laugh. As soldiers, they were very bored. They couldn't help but watch the commotion of a fire.
"Fire? The others were also stunned for a moment. Shouldn't the smoke from the fire be scattered in all directions? How could it be so straight up? Moreover, the smoke didn't look right.
"Smoke! Smoke! That was a signal! Old Wu suddenly cried out, he had seen this thing before.
"Old Man Wu, stop joking. That was Nanpi City, the place where the Prime Minister stayed. How could there be smoke? "When the smoke signal rises, it means that the enemy is coming. This is a kind of request for help. Right now, Cao Cao's army is in the hundreds of thousands. Who in the Bohai Prefecture is tired of living and actually dares to attack Nanpi City? Therefore, everyone thinks that it is fake.
"No, no, it's true. That is indeed a signal, a signal!" Old Wu shouted to the few soldiers on the lookout.
But everyone just laughed and did not do anything.
Old Wu could only bitterly go down the lookout and report to the inside.
But in the camp, there was the same kind of lazy look. Signal? Did it rise from Nanpi City? Child, are you awake? How can there be a signal in Nanpi City? Therefore, Old Man Wu left with the same strategy.
Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers were like this. Signal? What a joke, it was a house that caught fire. Even if there were a few real wise men, they were led astray by a group of fools.
Therefore, Cao Cao had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but no one came to rescue him.
Nanpi City's Yuan residence has now become Cao Cao's residence.
Cao Cao was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, someone attacked Nanpi City under the eyes of his hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Not only that, but they also broke through the city gate and came to the city.
Is today April Fool's Day? Are they joking?
"Your Majesty, the signal is not fake, and there are soldiers coming to report!" Cheng Yu also didn't know what the situation was like, but the sound of fighting over there couldn't be fake.
"Who is it? How can they come to Nanpi City? "Cao Cao was thinking about his enemy. The remnants of the Yuan family? Black Mountain Zhang Yanjun? Only these people have the strength to come to Nanpi City, but it was really difficult to do it quietly.
"This subject does not know!" Cheng Yu also shook his head. He has sent people to investigate.
"Kill, kill, kill that traitor Cao for the world's peace!" The sound of fighting was getting closer and closer. Cao Cao's face became darker.
The Yuan family's residence was in the center of Nanpi City. To be able to come to this place, it showed that the strength of the enemy was very strong.
"Who is it?"
Soon, the news from the front answered Cao Cao's question. "Reporting to the Prime Minister, it is the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. The Liaodong Iron Cavalry has killed their way into Nanpi City!"
"Liaodong Iron Cavalry!?" Cao Cao's eyes widened. Liaodong Army, those are Gongsun Du's people. "Is Gongsun Du acting?" Cao Cao turned his head to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu said that He Ping sent a letter saying that the Liaodong Army is fighting with the Yangzhou Army. How can they suddenly appear here? Liaodong Iron Cavalry, this is Zhou Hai's army. Didn't Zhou Hai's army lose to the Yangzhou Army? Even Zhou Hai had died in battle? How can they suddenly appear here?
Is this all a trick of Gongsun Du's old fox? And that Wei Kang? What Gongsun Kang killed his father? What Gongsun Du is dead? These are all lies to cover up the fact that the Liaodong Army and Yangzhou Army have joined forces?
"General, the Yuan family is in front!" A White Horse beside Zhao Yun said to Zhao Yun.
"Oh?" Zhao Yun looked at the tall building over there.
"Traitor Cao lives in there!" This is what I heard from the people of Nanpi.
"Good, kill them and take down the Yuan family! Kill Traitor Cao! " Zhao Yun's eyes were burning with passion. As long as he killed Cao Cao, the entire Cao Group would collapse and no one would be able to resist his lord, the King Of Shu. At that time, the world would be at peace.
"Yes!" The White Horses charged towards the Yuan Residence like a hot knife through butter.
"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?" Cao Cao shouted loudly in the mansion. They had already entered the city, but there was no sign of reinforcements coming from outside the city. How can Cao Cao not be angry? If he knew that his subordinates thought that the smoke signal was a fire in the city, he would be even more furious.
"Reporting, Prime Minister, the enemy, the enemy is attacking the Yuan family!" A messenger came over and shouted.
"Prime Minister, we should immediately evacuate!" Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.
"Evacuate? Evacuate to where? " Cao Cao shook his head. With the Yuan Residence as a shield, they could stop the enemy for a while. If they were to withdraw, how would they be able to outrun the cavalry? After all, those are the Liaodong Cavalry.
"Pass down the order. Close the gates of the Yuan Residence. All the servants and guards are to get me weapons. All of you, hold on! Hold on!" Cao Cao shouted hysterically.
"Yes!" In the Yuan family, Cao Cao's personal guards were less than a hundred people. Including the servants, there were only about three hundred people. They were all under the command of Xu Chu. Outside the Yuan family, the White Horses were charging towards the Yuan family.
However, they were beaten back by Xu Chu again and again.
Zhao Yun frowned. "General, the Yuan family is easy to defend but hard to attack. Please give me time to take down the Yuan family! "
"We don't have much time left! I will personally lead my men to attack! "Zhao Yun said to his subordinates.
Zhao Yun quickly led his personal guards to launch an attack on the Yuan Residence.
"Kill!" Wherever the tip of Zhao Yun's spear was pointed, there was simply no one who could withstand a single blow. Very quickly, the spear reached the battlements of the Yuan Family's mansion.
Just as Zhao Yun was about to charge in, a saber suddenly attacked him from behind. The saber's edge immediately made Zhao Yun vigilant. His eyes widened as he flipped the spear in his hand to his back and shot it out.
"Dang!" The spear and the blade collided, creating a ripple of sparks.
"Pei! What a pity! " Only then did Zhao Yun take a closer look. A robust man picked up a war blade from the ground and looked at Zhao Yun with a face full of regret.
Xu Chu's sneak attack just now was Xu Chu's sneak attack. He originally wanted to kill Zhao Yun but did not expect Zhao Yun to dodge at the last moment. Xu Chu felt a little regretful, but then he felt a wave of excitement.
"Are you Zhou Hai?" Xu Chu licked his lips as he looked at Zhao Yun.
"Zhou Hai?" Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. They were now using the banner of Liaodong Iron Cavalry. Wasn't Zhou Hai the commander of Liaodong Iron Cavalry?
"Yes!" Zhao Yun nodded and said.
"Good, remember that the person who will kill you today is me, Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang!" Xu Chu grabbed his blade and started running. His body was like a pump running on the ground, creating ripples on the ground. It seemed that the entire ground was shaken by him.
This wasn't because Xu Chu's speed was slow. Although Xu Chu's body was fat, he was still very agile. His running was disrupting Zhao Yun's rhythm. Once Zhao Yun's rhythm is disrupted, then Xu Chu would lead him to fight.
"Let's try it!" Zhao Yun was a proud person, but at the same time, he was very unhappy that Xu Chu was looking down on him.
He used his foot to pick up a spear from the ground and brandished it. "Come on!"
"Dang!" A spear and a blade suddenly tangled together.
