Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 176

    Wancheng is a basin, 60 miles northeast of it, into the Qifeng Mountain area. Qifeng Mountain, famous for its seven peaks lined up in a line, looks like a pen holder from a distance. This green mountain covered by forest is not only the birthplace of many streams, but also a dangerous place for ancient soldiers.

    As early as the pre-Qin period, the state of Chu built the Great Wall in the Qifeng Mountains, known as the Great Wall of Chu in history. These ancient city walls, located inland, failed to become part of the Great Wall of the North and were abandoned year by year. After nearly 400 years of loneliness in the two Han Dynasties, the beacon tower and the city guardhouse are nowhere to be found, only the strongest mother wall remains, still standing in the virgin forest, making it an excellent place for ambush.

    Twilight has come, Cao Cao, who should have rushed back to Xu County, is squatting behind a stone wall, his dark eyes staring at the mountain road below, not knowing what he is thinking.

    No one dared to urge him on the road, time seemed to stand still. Until the screeching footsteps of the scouts broke the silence.

    “My lord, as expected, Zhang Xiu is here.”

    Cao Cao hummed.

    “Lord… lord?”

    Cao Cao suddenly let out a short smile from his nose: “Zhang Xiu is a caring child, so I can see Ah Sheng early in the morning.” Having said that, there was a little smile in Cao Cao’s eyes. nothing. After sobering up, he wanted to understand what was wrong with Zhang Xiu. If the news of Ah Sheng’s serious injury had not spread in time, I’m afraid he would have lost in Wancheng in a confused way.

    Not only does it make people feel unsure if they surrender without a fight, but victory without a fight is just as unstable. Xiliang soldiers speak according to their strength. After all, they have to fight to be convincing.

    Xia Houyuan touched it at this time. “Brother,” he lowered his voice, but couldn’t hide his anxiety, “Yuan Rang’s elder brother, I’m afraid he won’t be able to resist Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu came prepared, but Yuan Rang’s soldiers were all drunk…”

    Cao Cao squinted and watched, as if the sunset would light up again in the south. As time passed by, Xiahou Yuan jumped in such a hurry that the pieces of his armor were about to be ripped apart by him. Cao Cao finally let go: “It doesn’t matter, you bring two hundred people to meet Yuan Rang.”

    “Only two hundred people?!”

    Xiahou Yuan blinked several times, looked at the terrain and looked at Cao Cao: “Oh – I understand, we must pretend to be in chaos.” Then he disappeared without a trace.

    Cao Cao sighed, if this was not his own brother, he would have used him as cannon fodder. It’s just that Xiahou Dun is different in the end, and he has to take it back at the risk of being seen through the ambush. But having said that, if he really sees it through, he will fight an encounter. His purpose is to have a fight with Zhang Xiu, not to wipe out Zhang Xiu’s department.

    There are many people, and the front is just right. But if the conspiracy is successful, he will be able to see Ah Sheng as soon as possible. Thinking of Ah Sheng, Cao Cao’s brows furrowed into a pimple. The news sent by Xun You made it very clear that Ah Sheng was slashed in the chest by Zhang Fei with an axe. It’s been forever.

    Liu Bei is so bold! Cao Cao’s heart was turbulent, and the questions such as “Why did Ah Sheng appear on the border of Xuzhou” and “What happened to Zhang Fei actually moved against Ah” were surging up, almost bursting his mind. The twins were probably connected by blood. He actually felt a dull pain in his chest and cold limbs. If it wasn’t for his reason as a coach supporting him, he wouldn’t want to do anything now except kill people to vent their anger.

    The sky was completely dark, and the faint fire and screams from the south were so noticeable in the dark mountains and forests. Cao Cao closed his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and forcibly suppressed all distracting thoughts. When he opened his eyes again, only a cold light remained in his pupils. “Call the army, shout!”

    “Help, someone’s calling!”

    “It’s Zhang Xiu, it’s Zhang Xiu—”

    “It’s the other way around, find the lord.”

    “Protect the lord, protect the lord!”

    “Team three, follow me in formation, support the rear army! Kill!”

    “My knife, I can’t find my knife!”

    “Ah-“

    …

    Cao Cao held the knife and watched the fire from the south getting closer. The sound of horses’ hooves sounded like a bell, and finally the first figure running under the Chu city wall appeared, the blood-stained Xiahou Dun. Followed by a group of remnants of defeated generals, there were only less than 2,000 of the original army of 6,000 or 7,000 people, and the banner was swayed.

    This time, the ones who were the most drunk and floated the highest were all released by Cao Cao. In addition to confusing Zhang Xiu, it is to give it away. “The drunken soldier in the enemy’s camp should die. This is a fluke for you and me, and it is also a lesson.” Cao Cao said to Dian Wei, “How about ten times more than a man? If you underestimate the enemy, you will lose.”

    Dian Wei’s wine was completely awake, and the big man who was nearly two meters tall lowered his head like a child who did something wrong. “It’s the last commander’s fault.”

    Cao Cao shook his head: “It’s my fault. Ah Sheng saved my life again.”

    In just a few words, Zhang Xiu’s former army has chased the remnants of the Xiahou brothers and came under the Chu city wall.

    Although Cao Jun’s panicked shouts were all in front of him, there was no fire or figure. Zhang Xiu’s heart groaned, and he was about to close his troops when he heard torches lit up on the hillsides on both sides, and the sound of bows and arrows being pulled, making his teeth sore.

    “General Zhang, stay safe.”

    Zhang Xiu recognized the voice and immediately shouted: “Cao Cao, you insult my aunt, and you dare to stay!”

    Zhang Xiu’s eyes were splitting, and he was about to speak when an arrow shot through the brim of his hat.

    “I really appreciate General Zhang, but since this is the case, let’s do it.”

    The Qifeng Mountain in the dark night screams and kills the sky, and the blood is flying. Even the moon hanging high in the sky could not illuminate the **** on earth, but was forced to sway by the howl of death and hid behind the dark clouds.

    It was the ugly moment in the second half of the night, Wancheng official office.

    Jia Xu was packing maps and documents in his study. Candles cast his shadow on the wooden floor. Because the sources of light are too complicated, the shadow looks much thinner than the real person, like an excited ghost.

    “Quick, put this away. There’s that one. Oh, how clumsy, no calligraphy and painting.” Jia Xu’s voice rang from one end to the other.

    In troubled times, there is a plan, such as Jia Xu, who will not get married, even though he is over forty-five years old now, he still has no children and no daughters, and only a few servants are with him for a long time. However, these servants never understood Jia Xu’s behavior.

    “Master, are you moving?”

    “Moving? Oh, it’s not moving.” Jia Xu closed the lid of the rattan box.

    “It’s not too urgent to move.”

    “What do you know?” Jia Xu stood up, brought a brazier over, picked out some paper sheets, bamboo slips, silk and silk, and burned them clean. While burning, he explained: “It’s been five hours since the general left, and when it’s late at night, there’s still no news at all, which means there’s an ambush. I’ve already said that, although Cao Cao cares about Xu County, as long as He is awake, and the probability of being able to get a bargain from him is less than 50%.”

    These words made the servants panic: “If General Zhang is defeated, what will happen to Wancheng?”

    Jia Xu rubbed his face: “What does Wancheng have to do with me? I have never missed the advice I gave Zhang Xiu. Next, I just want to see which is better, Juancheng or Jiangling. Just stay.”

& nbsp;

    Jia Xu showed an expression that didn’t know whether to cry or laugh: “He instantly withdraws from the wine and gentle village, even the bad news of his compatriots can’t shake his judgment, such a person is not in the world, do you want to Do you count on Yuan Benchu? I’m just afraid that Yanzhou has too many talents to show my ability. But that’s all I can do, it’s better than losing my life elsewhere.”

    So, when Cao Cao pressed Zhang Xiu’s team back under the Wan city wall, he met Jia Xu who opened the door and offered the city.

    The morning star has risen high, but the fish maw white in the east has not yet appeared. As the northern hemisphere gradually enters winter, the time of dawn is getting later and later. At three or four in the morning, it was the coldest and darkest time of the night. Not even the battalion’s torches could dispel the chill.

    In the light of the fire, Cao Cao’s silhouette showed an unprecedented ferocity. “What a swindle to surrender. Jia Wenhe, unless you say that you are Duke Duan’s grandson[Note 1], I will definitely take your head.”

    Jia Wenhe: “Although I am not the grandson of Duke Duan, but I am a counselor in Wancheng, and it is just a matter of food monarch salaries and loyalty to the monarch. And the world is watching your attitude towards the descendants, you Can’t kill me.”

    Cao Cao laughed, it was hard to imagine that he was still trying to eat people a second ago. After laughing, he jumped off the horse and unbound Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu in person. “A villain stabbed my brothers. I’m going to crusade them now. I want to use General Zhang’s force and Jia Wenhe’s ingenuity, okay?”

    It’s too much. Jia Xu responded in a hurry and asked for a house in Juancheng. Zhang Xiu twisted his body, and then Jia Xu poked his waist: “You have to answer.”

    Zhang Xiu pursed her lips: “Then what about my aunt?”

      Cao Cao resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, “Your aunt has a plan for you, and came to me to discuss it, and wants to marry your daughter to my son. From now on, you and I will be brothers, and your aunt will naturally also be my aunt. As for my aunt. I, the country died, there are many great Confucian military generals in Xu County who lack a mistress, as long as you see the right one, I will personally go to match.”

    “You didn’t…”

    Only then did Zhang Xiu kneel down and salute, looking very ashamed: “Duke Cao is generous, it’s because my mind is dirty.”

    Cao Cao… Cao Cao wiped the cold sweat on his head secretly. But soon his mind was filled with another thing: Ah Sheng. A Sheng, who is on the front line of life and death in rumors.

      Fast horses run on the mountain road in Nanyang. This kind of dirt road is incomparable with the new roads in Yan, Qing and Henan provinces. It is bumpy and damaged, and there is a risk that someone will overturn the horse at any time.

    But Cao Cao’s speed on horseback can be said to be soaring to the limit. A lot of sweat dripped into the soil with the sound of the whip, and it was unprecedented to be able to push the shadow of Cao Cao’s mount to such a level. Without the threat of chasing troops and the political demands of persuading the captives to surrender, Cao Cao’s emotions were gradually released in this frantic gallop.

    Eight hours after receiving the message, his eyes began to slowly turn red. It was as if a huge block of ice was pressing against his chest, and only the sunshine in Xu County could melt this huge block of ice.

    [Note 1]: Jia Xu was kidnapped by a rebel minority when he was young. In a hurry, he claimed that his grandfather was Duan Jiong, and the young people in Liangzhou were afraid of Duan Jiong’s murderous name and released Jia Xu, and all the people who accompanied Jia Xu were killed.
