Chapter 22
Cao Cao stroked his beard, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Cao Ren is a general of our army. If you want to follow me to the front line to set up battle lines, Cao Ren cannot lend you."

"Feng Xiao is a military adviser with the army, let alone lend it to you. Cao Hong can lend it to you for a few days, and Xu Chu can also lend it to you for a few days."

"As for the tiger and leopard riders, I will lend you two thousand leopard riders. However, I can only lend you half a month at most. After half a month, Cao Hong will lead the two thousand leopard riders back."

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry These are the elite cavalry under Cao Cao, there are only [-] in total, and Cao Hong is in charge of leading them.

Tiger and leopard cavalry are also divided into two types: tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry. Three thousand tiger cavalry are heavy cavalry, and two thousand leopard cavalry are light cavalry.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, it was basically a certainty.

It is impossible for a prime minister of Cao Cao's family to bargain like a small vendor in a vegetable market.

Su Ming made some calculations, Qin Qi's [-] troops were in charge of cutting off the ferry, preventing Huang Zu's navy from landing.

He led two thousand leopard cavalry and headed straight for Huang Zu's camp, to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

Well, now there is one more question.

How to open the gate of Xiling is the key.

Although Leopard Cavalry is an elite cavalry, they are not good at attacking cities.

Qin Qi's [-] recruits were even more incapable of fighting a siege.

If it's not hard, it can only be soft.

He had to find a way to bribe Huang Zu's confidants, open the city gate at a critical moment, and let them enter the city.

After having a general plan in mind, Su Ming said to Cao Cao, "I still need ten thousand taels of gold, and I have to find a way to make money to open the city gate."

After Cao Cao pondered for a while, he felt that ten thousand taels of gold was nothing.

"Okay, I'll give it to you!" Cao Cao agreed.

Jiangxia County.

Xiling County.

In a house.

Cao Hong and Qin Qi are leading the army on their way to Jiangxia, while Su Ming has led Xu Chu, Sun Shangxiang, and a dozen confidantes to sneak into Xiling County.

Su Ming just bought this house yesterday, and used it as their base of operations.

"General Su, I have found out everything."

"The water army at Xiling Ferry is led by Huang She, the son of Huang Zu, and under him are the Jinfan thief Gan Ning and Su Fei. The four gates of Xiling are guarded by Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, Chen Ju, and Deng Long. .” The scout in charge of inquiring news reported to Su Ming.

The Xiling Ferry is outside the city, and Su Ming's plan is to form a phalanx led by Xu Chu and Qin Qi to occupy the ferry by surprise.

As long as they occupy the ferry, Huang Zu's navy will not be able to go ashore. When the time comes, he will capture the thief first, capture the king first, and after solving Huang Zu in Xiling City, he will pay the navy again.

The crux of the problem now is how to break into Xiling City.

As long as he can enter the city, relying on his own force and two thousand leopard riders, it is enough to complete the task of capturing the thief first and the king first.

Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, Chen Jiu, and Deng Long are the four city gate guards, who are responsible for guarding the four city gates.

Su Ming looked carefully at the information on the four city gate guards in his hand.

Zhang Hu, he has no hobbies.Every day is the barracks, two points and one line at home.There is a wife and a son.

Chen Sheng and Chen Jiu are brothers. They are young and have a good relationship with Huang She, the son of Huang Zu.It seems that it is not easy to buy.

Deng Long is a veteran, without a wife, he hangs around the brothels in the city all day long, lusting after women.

"Brother Su Ming, who should we attack?" Xu Chu asked Su Ming with his big head stretched out.

Chen Sheng and Chen Jiu can be ruled out first. They are young and carefree, so they may not be able to be tempted by money and sex.

Moreover, this kind of young man is at the time when he is young, and he is easy to get hot-headed, and he is not easy to threaten.

Zhang Hu's weakness should be his wife and son.

As for Deng Long, he can be seduced by sex.

After Su Ming thought about it, he decided to start with Zhang Hu.

Women's sex is just a temptation, and Deng Long may not cooperate with himself for women's sex.

But Zhang Hu is different, his wife and children are the deadly handle.

I tied his wife and children, not afraid that he would not cooperate.

Although, this method is a bit dirty.

However, Su Ming only had this chance, and he could not take risks, so he had to make a bad move.

History will only remember the victors.

Instead of remembering how you achieved victory.

Su Ming ordered Cao Hong and Qin Qi to lead the army to lie down by day and night, and soon they lurked on the mountain more than ten miles away from Xiling City.

There are barren mountains and wild mountains everywhere in this ancient time. As long as you don't follow the official path foolishly, you can hide a few thousand soldiers and horses on the mountains, even if you hide [-] soldiers and horses, you will not be discovered.

Now, soldiers and horses have lurked near Xiling City. Everything is ready, and the only thing left is the person who opened the city gate.

At this time, Su Ming was also ready to attack Zhang Hu.

In the evening, Zhang Hu went down from the north city gate.

"General Zhang, do you want to have a drink together?" The deputy general greeted Zhang Hu.

With a simple and honest smile on Zhang Hu's face, he rejected the kindness of his colleagues, and said: "No, your sister-in-law has cooked meals at home and is waiting for me to go back!"

These people also knew that Zhang Hu had no bad habits.

Don't drink, don't gamble, don't visit brothels, and always go home as soon as possible after working out every day.

Therefore, after Zhang Hu rejected the invitation, they left separately.

In the city, in a small courtyard.

"Crack." Zhang Hu pushed open the door and shouted into the room, "Ma'am, I'm back."

However, when Zhang Hu pushed open the door of the back room, he saw a stranger sitting in his home, drinking wine and eating food.

Zhang Hu is very familiar with the dishes on this table. They are all his favorite dishes, and they are all made by his wife.

When I got home, I didn't see my wife and children, but I saw some strangers.

Zhang Hu pulled out the sword from his waist with a "squeak", pointed at Su Ming and scolded, "Who are you?"

Su Ming picked up the chopsticks to hold the vegetables, dipped his other hand in the wine, and wrote the word "Cao" on the table.

"Cao Cao's people?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hu looked at Su Ming with a cold face.

"Clap!"

"Pa-ta!" Su Ming chewed a few mouthfuls faster, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said to Zhang Hu: "It's not interesting, the prime minister Jiang Xia has taken a fancy to it."

"Tonight, please open the city gate."

Hearing this, Zhang Hu's face turned dark immediately, he thought to himself, this is making me a traitor, dedicating the city gate!

"Impossible!" Zhang Hu refused without thinking.

"Crack! Crack!" Su Ming clapped his hands. Immediately, someone beside him brought two large boxes. Su Ming waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to open the boxes.

After the boxes were opened, one of the two boxes was full of golden cakes, while the other was empty.

Su Ming took a few mouthfuls of food, and then slowly said: "If you agree, the 3000 taels of gold will be yours."

"If you don't agree, the other box is used to hold the heads of your family of three. I promise, let your family of three walk neatly."
