Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 245 The Dust and Dust of Fame

Cao Hong's head was taken back by Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei took it personally, climbed to the well railing, looked in the right direction and threw it in.

Then he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Your reinforcements have been defeated! Cao Hong's head is here!"

Wancheng didn't react at all. In fact, Zhang Fei also knew that after being besieged for so many days and being shot in the face by Jinglan Cavalry, Wancheng was unable to fight back. Wancheng's morale had already dropped to the point where it couldn't be lowered.

Although Cao Cao firmly believed that he would win, his soldiers couldn't see the long term. After all, Prime Minister Cao didn't have to stand on top of the city.

The young men who were conscripted to the top of the city no longer had the energy to think so much. Under the scolding and sticks, they had to pick up weapons and face dangerous positions even if they were unwilling.

Hou Yin watched all this with cold eyes. Wei Kai next to him had angry eyes every time he saw this kind of scene, and every time he got a stern warning look from Hou Yin.

Cao Hong's head was picked up, and Cao Cao mourned and buried it with his own hands. He then sincerely gave Cao Hong a sincere promise, and at the same time encouraged the people around him:
I will kill Zhang Fei to sacrifice you!

And Cao Cao’s guarantee was also very concise and powerful:
"Cao Zixiao still has [-] troops. Regardless of whether he can defeat Fancheng or not, his return north is not far away!"

Fifty thousand troops!It may be a bit difficult to defeat Fancheng, but it is more than enough to rescue the siege.

Cao Cao secretly hoped that Cao Ren could conquer Fancheng and then lead his elite troops northward.

But what others were thinking was: General Cao Zixiao, don’t worry about Fancheng!Look at your food and grass, look at Wancheng!
They knew better that what Cao Hong was escorting was life-saving food and grass. If Guan Yu cruelly burned the food and grass, General Cao Ren's army would cause a disaster in an instant.

The news that the [-]-strong army was about to return spread throughout Wancheng, and even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard about it while they were under the city.

"Second brother, it seems that Wancheng is still difficult to attack after all."

Guan Yu didn't speak, just looked at Wancheng quietly, as if he could feel the pulse and breathing of the city.

"The day when the city will be destroyed is not far away."

Guan Yu suddenly said, after all, this strong man has never been a man who can endure his temper.

At the end of another day, Hou Yin threw himself on the bed, so tired that he didn't even want to take off his armor.

But he couldn't just rest like this. Hou Yin took off his leather armor, then walked lightly to the low wall and turned over. Then he climbed over another courtyard wall to the south, and what he saw was a dilapidated courtyard.

This courtyard changed hands several times. The original owner was said to have gone to Luoyang and was sold to a wealthy family named Li who escaped from Yanzhou. However, this wealthy family later also fled south.

Later residents did not live long, and it was eventually abandoned. At this moment, Wei Kai in the courtyard was already waiting here.

"Brother!" Wei Kai whispered.

"Then Cao Bing said that [-] troops will return soon, and General Guan's defeat is not far away."

Seeing his adopted brother's anxious look, Hou Yin shouted in a low voice:
"How could General Guan be defeated? If the Cao thieves were really powerful, General Guan could just escape by boat."

Both of them are natives of Jingzhou. After Jingzhou suffered great changes, they followed Uncle Liu's example and became sworn brothers.

Uncle Liu Huang had lofty ambitions, but Hou Yin thought he was not up to it, so he made an agreement with his adopted brother to protect the safety of the village. However, when Cao Jun came, he found that this wish was difficult.

But now... Hou Yin thought about it and made up his mind:
"You must help General Guan to break the city!"

Wei Kai's face was full of eagerness to try:
"Brother, do what you said! Do it!"

The moonlight was bright and the insects chirped loudly, covering up the whispers in the yard.

The next day, Hou Yin and Wei Kai took the initiative to transfer to the south of the city. There were two wells standing outside the city wall. There was nothing the city could do about it, so Cao Cao didn't come here very often, let alone the nobles.

The only person who was loyal to his duty was Prime Minister Cao's personal guard. He was tall and round, but he could always make the hearts of those who looked at him jump.

It's hard to do anything with him around, but fortunately Cao Bing doesn't eat food from Guizhou.

Cao Cao understood that young people were needed to defend the city, so he ordered that the Guizhou leaders be given a meal every day, but he didn't make it too clear, so what he gave to Hou Yin and others was a coarse steamed cake.

It tastes too luxurious, but at least it's edible.

After receiving the steamed cake, the Guizhou leaders huddled in the corner, because they often had some work to do after eating.

What was different today was that Hou Yin and Wei Kai squeezed past with steamed cakes in their hands.

Send out half a steamed cake, complain a few words, and say it in a joking tone. You might as well help General Guan outside the city. By the way, you can recall what Jingzhou was like before Cao Jun came.

And among this group of young men, there are two whose family origins are in Xinye, which makes it even easier to say.

Hou Yin didn't know whether he was talented in this area, or whether Cao Jun's nature had caused too much anger in the village.

After only two meals, the anger of the young men was a bit uncontrollable, and the look in their eyes towards Cao Bing made Hou Yin even a little frightened.

Hou Yin did not expect that the situation would progress so quickly. After another day, a young man dared to talk back to Cao Bing, and was eventually thrown off the city wall by two Cao soldiers laughing and joking.

This young man's hometown is in Fuxian County, which is a large county. There are several fellow villagers here, and they stood up with grief and indignation in their eyes.

Hou Yin remembered clearly that among the people who stood up, one had an old father who died on the road and saw his father's ears cut off, and another was happily married to his wife. However, after Prime Minister Cao took Jingzhou, his wife was " "Zheng" left.The eyes of Cao's soldiers became more serious, and their sabers were drawn out.

Hou Yin felt that if he didn't stand up, the situation might not be settled, so he stood behind Cao Bing with a flattering look on his face and his waist bowed.

Just as Cao Bing was about to say a few words to Hou Yin, he felt as if his body was leaking air.

When he lowered his head, he saw that Hou Yin had drawn a short knife at some point and stabbed it in from his armpit accurately.

Wei Kai was so excited that he pulled out the city defense weapon provided by Cao Jun with a "choking" sound and shouted:
"Done!"

Two simple words have great power, so the top of the city immediately became chaotic. Of course, this could not be hidden from Liu Beibing on the well.

Zhang Fei climbed up in three steps and immediately shouted orders to the people below.

The soldiers below the well did not hesitate. Two axes chopped off the wheel on the side of the well close to the city wall. Then the two groups of soldiers pulled the hemp rope tied to the waist of the well and worked together.

The soldiers on the well railing hugged the pillars beside them with frightened expressions. Only Zhang Fei, with a bloodthirsty look on his face, calculated the distance of the falling well railing and Xianxin made a sudden leap:
"Zhang Yide is here!"

At the same time, he made a precise move and swung away the blade that was about to kill Hou Yin.

The owner of this blade was Xu Chu, and Zhang Fei was not afraid, and could even be said to be very interested.

Holding the knife in his hand, he jumped forward.

But Xu Chu took a step back, looked at Zhang Fei and the well that was stuck on the edge of the city wall and used it as a ladder after being pulled down, and then turned around and ran away.

With the addition of Zhang Fei and Xu Chu's escape, the city was quickly cleared, and Zhang Fei then took the lead to kill below the city.

The well-mounted ladder can only be said to be barely usable. The opportunity to break the city is hard to come by, but it is more important to seize the south gate.

Xu Chu, who escaped, once again brought Cao Cao news that made him almost want to vomit blood.

But these are no longer important. There is only one way to go: break out!
After hearing the news about his third brother, Guan Yu did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to the west of the city.

The south side is seizing the gate, and if you want to escape from the east gate, you need to go north or south. Therefore, the most foolproof way is to increase your troops to the west of the city, and then go to the south of the city.

But compared to the detour in the outer city, it is obviously faster to take a straight line in the city.

So when Guan Yu rushed to the west of the city, he saw the backs of more than a thousand cavalry running away.

There was no need for Guan Yu to remind him, everyone knew that the person escaping in front was a mobile meritorious enough to be crowned a marquis and prime minister, so they only listened to their general's simple "chase" word.

Thousands of horses were thrown into the dust, and a group of Jingzhou soldiers with red eyes drove their mounts with all their strength and chased after them.

At this time, it seemed that it would be better to say something to anger Prime Minister Cao, but Guan Yu searched his guts and finally had only one sentence:
"Prime Minister Cao, don't you want to know why your son often dies early?"

At this time, Guan Yu secretly resented that his third brother did not come with him. If he had been there, Cao Cao, who could scold him, might have sent his horse to fight.

Guan Yu's words were useless, but instead they reminded Cao Cao of Cao Ang and Dian Wei who died in Wancheng, and he fled even more urgently.

Watching Cao's soldiers change direction little by little, and finally heading south, Guan Yu also figured out Cao Cao's thoughts and went to find Cao Ren and his [-] troops.

Guan Yu was also anxious for a while, because he had just received a secret report from Military Advisor Xu yesterday morning, stating that the siege of Fancheng had been relieved.

Cao Ren may appear in front at any time!
For a moment, Guan Yu was three points faster again, but soon one of Cao's guards turned around and came back to kill him.

Yan Yue Dao swung the opponent's head away, but the speed was still a little slower.

After chasing and escaping like this, Guan Yu had already fled south for more than a hundred miles after killing more than ten horses.

The incident happened unexpectedly, and with all his strength, Guan Yu was left with only a few dozen cavalry behind him, while there were very few Cao cavalry in front who were behind.

Moreover, Cao Jun's scouts could be seen further ahead coming from south to north. General Guan Yu was still a little unwilling, so he unsheathed his short sword and threw it hard.

The accuracy was just a few points off, and it hit the horse's ass, making Cao Cao a few points faster.

So Guan Yu could only stop with regret. He could feel that his mount was also a little weak. If he chased Cao Ren again and ran into Cao Ren's army, he would regret it.

Moreover, now that Wancheng is under attack, the siege originally planned by Cao Jun is now called a change of position, and there is still a chance to capture Prime Minister Cao.

So Guan Yu's bodyguards could only look back three times under the general's laughter and scolding, and reluctantly left this sad place.

Everyone felt lost. Even when they went back and saw the Guanzi flag planted on the top of Wancheng City, they felt a little depressed.

Zhang Fei was a little surprised. It was obviously a great victory, but why was it like a defeat?
After listening to his second brother telling the whole story, Zhang Fei looked dismissive:
"At that time, if we were busy catching Cao's thieves and then throwing them into Wancheng, it would be a big loss for a small gain."

He said this, but looking at the expressions of his guards, Guan Yu might be feeling resentful for a long time.

On the other side, Cao Ren felt a bit toothache as he listened to the people around the Prime Minister.
Come again?First it was Fancheng, then Wancheng. Why was it always only two days apart?

　Kawen is great, I tried my best to write, I feel ashamed.
