Chapter 143

Yuan Ke has hinted to this extent, even a person with a dull head will know how to choose.

Jiang Qi broke his heart and shouted: "Brothers! The fourth son is the hero who killed Cao Cao, let's follow him to fight for the big ticket!"

As soon as he said this, the morale of the already exhausted light cavalry team was immediately boosted, and the soldiers began to discuss in private:

"Ah... he is the Fourth Young Master!"

"The fourth son who single-handedly killed Xu Chu?"

"Even Cao Cao can be killed, ouch, this is incredible!"

Yuan Ke also drew his sword without losing the opportunity and shouted: "Brothers! It's today for a man to make a name for himself and gain wealth! Come with me!"

"Here!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

So, almost overnight, Yuan Ke had a team of more than [-] people.He believed that with a new interpretation of the Analects of Confucius, and these cavalry troops who were sincerely convinced by him, he would definitely be able to set fire to Cao Cao's rear!

He led the cavalry for three hundred miles in one day and one night, and finally arrived at the foot of Qingsong Ridge at dawn the next day.

Until this time, Jiang Qi still had no idea what he was about to face.Because along the way, he only saw Yuan Ke covering one eye and rushing on the road, and he didn't even meet a single enemy, which made him completely lost his position.

Seeing Yuan Ke stop in front of a mountain, he finally took the opportunity to ask clearly: "My lord, where are we going?"

"Xu Du." Yuan Ke replied unhurriedly.

Ignoring Jiang Qi's astonished eyes, he strode up the mountain.Here, he finally reunited with his righteous brother Yan Liang. The two were naturally surprised and happy, with mixed feelings.After settling Zhen Mi and the injured Xu Ta and others, he began to discuss with Yan Liang the plan to attack Xu Du.

"Cao Cao is dead?" Yan Liang stood up excitedly, pacing back and forth, "Great! Great! Great victory can be expected, great victory can be expected..."

"Brother, it's not time to be happy yet." Yuan Ke analyzed calmly, "It's imminent to lead troops to attack Xudu. Today, not necessarily."

Yan Liang asked: "Then the third brother means..."

"I have to go back to Xudu quickly." Yuan Ke said firmly, "Otherwise, once Cao Jun recognizes me, Yueyin and Mr. Tian will be in danger."

"I understand." Yan Liang nodded, "Leave the siege to me and Jiang Qi!"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Qi didn't expect to meet his idol Yan Liang here, and he was immersed in a high degree of excitement. "Jiang Qi must work hard for the son, and don't embarrass General Yan!"

"So I'll leave it to the two generals!" Yuan Ke excitedly held their hands, "We can start attacking the city at Shenshi today. Remember, we must attack from all sides, so that the defenders will be exhausted. At night, I have a way Break the city!"
-
Yan Liang and others strictly implemented Yuan Ke's prior deployment, and launched a surprise attack on Xu Capital that afternoon.

Because Cao Cao deployed most of his troops on the front line, the number of troops staying in Yingchuan was originally only 2, and most of them were led by Cao Ren and Xu Huang, who built defense lines in the north and south of Xudu, so when Yuan Ke led the troops, Most of the 2 people no longer pose a threat after taking a small path to bypass the defense line.

Xiahoudun, who was staying in Xudu, was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Yan Liang's army. Yan Liangjun carried a ladder made of agricultural tools and bravely climbed ahead, and broke through the east gate of Xudu city in one fell swoop!

At the critical moment, Xiahou Dun took the lead and led the soldiers to fight bravely, and finally drove the enemy down.The two sides fought dozens of rounds at the top of the city, and the city was full of corpses. It was not until night fell and the surroundings were dark that the two sides stopped their troops and returned.

After an afternoon of hard fighting, Xiahou Dun was extremely sleepy.He fell asleep on the table, and even the wailing of the wounded soldiers couldn't wake him up at all.

In this dream, he seemed to be in a peach blossom forest in midsummer.It’s May in the world, Fangfei is gone, the most delicate peach blossoms hurriedly faded away before the summer, and what appeared before his eyes were the lonely petals on the branches and the colorful fallen flowers all over the place.The rotten smell of the soil overwhelmed the lingering fragrance of peach blossoms, which made him frown.

"Where am I?" he asked himself, although he knew he couldn't get an answer.

Fortunately, inadvertently, he saw a small figure sitting with his back facing him in the bare woods, and his figure was somewhat familiar.

Then go ask this predestined person!
He walked through the forest path, looking at where the man was.As he got closer and closer to that person, a sigh of vicissitudes of life came with the wind and poured into his ears.

He suddenly froze, ran over staggeringly, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, is that you?"

The man still did not speak, but slowly stood up.Excited, Xiahou Dun stretched out his hand to pull his arm, but as soon as his palm touched his skin, he felt a biting chill, and subconsciously withdrew his hand.

When he was stunned, the person in front of him slowly turned his head, revealing a face with blue-faced fangs and bleeding from seven orifices.

"Yuan Rang, avenge me..."

"what--"

Xiahoudun yelled and sat up suddenly, startling the two assassins who raised their knives in front of them.

He woke up from a dream, and his consciousness was not very clear, but when he opened his eyes, he saw two masked men holding their weapons a short distance away from him.Years of experience accumulated in fighting on the battlefield made him jump up. His eyes swept over the military case, but he didn't see his saber, so he subconsciously picked up the oil lamp and threw it out!

The assassin on the left was caught off guard, his face covered in hot fat, and he covered his eyes and fell to the ground moaning in pain.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and it was the perfect opportunity!Xiahou Dun lowered his shoulders and slammed his elbow on the lower abdomen of another assassin!
The assassin couldn't help bowing down in pain.Xiahou Dun snatched the knife from his hand, raised the knife and cut off his head.

He came in front of the twisted maggot-like assassin, let out a cold snort, and the blade pierced his chest heavily.

Really thrilling.

Xiahou Dun staggered and fell to the ground, reminiscing about the sudden assassination and the previous dream that seemed real and unreal.Suddenly, he laughed out loud and murmured: "Duke Ming, so you woke me up in a dream, lest I die under the knife of the villain?"

He sighed and looked around the room he was all too familiar with.The oil lamp has been knocked over, but the surrounding area is not considered dark, the outside light shines generously through the Qishu[1], making everything around it impossible to hide.

He faintly felt that something was wrong.

Why is it so bright outside, and it seems that I can still hear the shouts of soldiers?
