I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 23
Zhang Hu clenched his teeth, opened his eyes wide, and stared at Su Ming.

"you"

"You are shameless!" Zhang Hu almost squeezed out such a sentence through his teeth.

In Zhang Hu's view, you Cao Cao has taken a fancy to the city of Jiangxia, so you just have to come and take it with real swords and guns.

Sending people to kidnap his wife and children and threatening to open the city gate, what kind of hero is this?
Su Ming continued to cook, and while cooking, he tried to persuade: "General Zhang Hu, if you swear a few words, you will feel better, and I will swear as you like."

"However, you have to think it over carefully before making a decision. Your wife and children have only one life. If you make a wrong decision, it will be irreversible!"

"The prime minister wants this Jiangxia City, I have no choice but to do something wrong."

"Hey! I hope General Zhang Hu won't make it difficult for me. If it's difficult for me, then no one will feel better about it."

At this time, Xu Chu also added fuel to the side and said, "Look, how poor is your family?"

"Anyway, he's a general. If you're so poor, then Huang Zu doesn't treat you very well, right?"

Needless to say, Huang Zu really didn't treat Zhang Hu very well.

Zhang Hu is not considered to be Huang Zu's confidant, he has accumulated qualifications step by step and accumulated military exploits to climb to this position.

In addition, he is dull and doesn't know how to flatter, so he doesn't like Huang Zu.

Zhang Hu stared at Su Ming, obviously, he was making a very difficult decision in his heart.

"I open the city gate, you promise not to hurt my wife and children?" After a long time, Zhang Hu asked like a discouraged ball.

After constantly weighing the pros and cons, his wife and children still had the upper hand.

For the lives of his wife and children, betrayal is a last resort.

Su Ming pulled the last bite of food into his mouth, and said, "Of course, you are the hero if you open the city gate. Not only will I not hurt your wife and children, but I will give you the 3000 taels of gold."

"With this gold, your family of three will have no worries about food and clothing in the next life."

Zhang Hu looked at the box of gold, then at the empty box used to hold the heads of their family of three, and finally chose the former.

"it is good!"

"I promise you to open the city gate!" Zhang Hu reluctantly agreed.

All of this was within Su Ming's expectation.

Zhang Hu is not Huang Zu's confidant, he and Huang Zu are just ordinary superiors and subordinates, so it is not possible to take the lives of a family of three for Huang Zu.

"I have already sent someone to make proper arrangements for your wife and children. The city gate will be opened tonight, and I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow!" After Su Ming finished speaking, he patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder and said, "Your wife is a good cook. !"

Late at night, in the barren hills outside Xiling City.

Cao Hongzheng led two thousand leopard riders to hide in the forest. The mouths of these horses were covered with strips of cloth, and the hooves of the horses were all tied with cloth, trying not to make the slightest sound.

Today is a dark moon and high winds, which is also quite conducive to their actions.

At this time, Cao Hong and the others only waited for the fire to be raised at the city gate, and they rushed out.

At night, Zhang Hu brought people to inspect the city gate.

The people behind Zhang Hu were none other than Su Ming and Cao Jun's masters who sneaked into the city in advance.

It's just that they all put on the armor of Huang Zu's men now, and Zhang Hu was covering them, so they didn't attract the attention of others.

Zhang Hu arrived at Su Ming and they came all the way to the city gate. Seeing that the time had come, Su Ming winked.

Everyone raised their knives and directly killed the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then opened the city gate smoothly.

Su Ming stood at the city gate in person, holding up the torch and shaking it constantly.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the soldiers on the city wall also sensed that something was wrong, and rushed down the city without thinking.

However, at this time, Xu Chu directly held the big knife the size of a door panel and blocked it at the stone staircase of the city wall.

Xu Chu is called a man who guards the gate, and ten thousand men can't open it.With him blocking the stone stairs of the city wall, these soldiers would not be able to get down unless they jumped off the city wall.

On the other side, Cao Hong led two thousand leopard riders and rushed in after seeing the fire at the city gate.

After these two thousand leopard riders rushed into the city, they quickly occupied the city wall.

Zhang Hu also understood that he had already opened the city gate and became a traitor.

Now, they can only help Su Ming and the others take Xiling City and kill Huang Zu.

Otherwise, he has no way out.

"Brothers, they are all Prime Minister Cao's soldiers!"

"The Prime Minister has sent troops, and Jiang Xia will soon belong to Prime Minister Cao, brothers, don't be stubborn, and surrender to the Prime Minister!" Zhang Hu began to persuade his brothers to surrender.

Since Cao Cao assisted the emperor to make the princes, he has become one of the few big princes in the world.

In addition, in recent years, Cao Cao has defeated Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others successively, which also made Cao Cao's reputation even surpass that of Yuan Shao, who was the fourth generation and third prince.

Hearing that it was Cao Cao's men who captured Xiling, these soldiers surrendered.

Cao Cao's power is too great, even Liu Biao, who is in charge of Jingzhou, is talking about Cao's discoloration, let alone the mere Huang Zu.

In addition, the city gate has now been taken down.

It was dark at the moment, and it was not clear how many Cao Jun had, but they heard the sound of horseshoes everywhere.

Coupled with Zhang Hu's persuasion to surrender, these soldiers had no idea, and naturally they were unwilling to work for Huang Zu.

After successfully taking over the gate of the city, Su Ming immediately ordered: "Xu Chu, you and Zhang Hu lead the people and immediately go to Xiling Ferry and join Qin Qi to occupy Xiling Ferry."

"You have only one task, and that is to block the Xiling Ferry and prevent the navy from going ashore."

In fact, Qin Qi's [-] soldiers and horses are almost enough for the task of blocking the Xiling Ferry.

However, in Huang Zu's navy, there was a fierce general named Gan Ning.

Five thousand soldiers is enough, but a player of Qin Qi's level is definitely not Gan Ning's opponent.

Sending Xu Chu was to find an opponent for Gan Ning.

Coincidentally, Zhang Hu has now persuaded a group of soldiers to surrender.

The loyalty of this batch of surrendered soldiers was not high. If Huang Zu persuaded them to surrender after they met Huang Zu, these surrendered soldiers were likely to turn against them again.

Therefore, Su Ming simply asked Xu Chu to take them out of the city to the Xiling Ferry. In this way, without seeing Huang Zu, the commander of Jiang Xia, the rest of the people should not be able to make these surrendered soldiers turn against each other.

"Decree!" Xu Chu cupped his hands and assured Su Ming, "As long as I, Xu Chu, are here, I guarantee that no one in the navy will be able to close the case."

Jingzhou had a well-developed water system in the first generation, and so did Jiangxia.

Huang Zu's elite soldiers and horses are all sailors, as long as they block the Xiling Ferry, his elite sailors will not be able to go ashore.

Before dawn, Su Ming came to capture the thief and captured the king first, beheading Huang Zu.

By that time, the entire Jiangxia would be leaderless.

By then, most of the task of capturing Jiangxia will be completed.

Xu Chu and Qin Qi only need to stay at Xiling Ferry until dawn, and after they have dealt with Huang Zu by themselves, they can lead their troops to support them.
