The commander of Aoshan Guard let out a long sigh. The night was thick. He lay on the couch, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.
"King Qi's army trapped Le'an City and refused to attack. They kept sending letters to persuade them to surrender. Now the morale of the army is in turmoil. I stood on the top of the city today and the soldiers around me looked at me in a wrong way. I always felt that they I want to trade my head with King Qi for fame."
The commander of the Aoshan Guards murmured to himself, "If the King of Han had not favored me and asked me to guard his wife and children in the Han Palace for him, I would have surrendered to King Qi long ago. But after guarding the city for several days, the King of Han There is no movement, it seems that we are really going to be trapped and die in Wuding Prefecture, my situation is no better than that of the King of Han, and Le'an City cannot be defended for a few days."
"How about... *** just make up your mind and surrender to King Qi?"
The commander of the Aoshan Guards touched his chin and said to himself, "To surrender to King Qi at this time can be regarded as atonement for one's sins. Although it is no merit, it is no fault. The official title of the third rank can definitely be kept. At most, it will be a battle. I was just transferred to another province later, but even if I was transferred to another province, I was at least a third-rank official. I sat firmly in the top three positions in the palace, and was also a high-ranking military officer in the province. Why would I sell my life to the King of Han to be an orphan? Where are the ghosts?"
He, the commander, was single-handedly promoted by the King of Han. Because of this, the commander of Aoshan Guard was very loyal to the King of Han. This is also the reason why the King of Han can rest assured that his old nest Le'an will be guarded by Aoshan Guards.
But now that the battle has started, the commander of Aoshan Guard knows that even if he defends Le'an, the situation will be difficult to change. He persisted for these few days, which was considered to be the end of his kindness to the King of Han.
Just when he was wavering, he suddenly heard a small sound coming from his ears, like the whistling of the wind, but also like someone moving quietly in the shadows.
The commander of Aoshan Guard held his breath to confirm that he heard correctly. His heart was in his throat, he picked up the dagger and got up from the couch. Feeling something was wrong, he hid the pillow under the mattress to make it look like someone was sleeping on the couch, then turned over and hid under the bed.
Sure enough, not long after, the commander under the bed saw a pair of feet walking in lightly, and he looked horrified.
"boom!"
The man slashed the mattress with his knife without hesitation, and the cotton wool in the mattress exploded. However, the swordsman immediately realized that something was wrong. When the blade of the knife struck the mattress, it made a sound of colliding with a stone!
The swordsman opened the mattress, only to find that there was a jade pillow under it!
"Oops!"
The swordsman quickly turned around and wanted to run away, but the commander of the Aoshan Guard who was hiding under the bed came out, shouted, and stabbed the swordsman into the waist of the swordsman, spurting out a large spray of blood!
"I'm sorry!"
The swordsman screamed, "Who the hell stabbed me in the waist!"
The commander of Aoshan Guard turned his head and glanced at the couch. The mattress had been cut so that the cotton wool was flying everywhere, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had insomnia tonight. If not, he would have been killed in his dream!
With a ferocious look on his face, he twisted the short knife that was stabbed at the swordsman's waist, then pulled it out and stabbed several times. The commander finally did not lose his skill, and the knife avoided the bones and stabbed the vital part. He roared angrily: "Say! Who asked you to kill me!"
However, the swordsman's throat was already stuck with blood, and he couldn't utter a word, and his body slid down uncontrollably.
The commander of Aoshan Guard breathed a sigh of relief. He just noticed that the clothes on his body were soaked with the swordsman's blood and stuck to his skin, but he didn't care about it and turned the swordsman's body over to see his true appearance.
"hiss!"
The commander of the Aoshan Guards gasped, and he suddenly discovered that the swordsman who assassinated him was actually a guard patrolling outside his camp!
"This this……"
He already figured out what was going on.
The guard came to assassinate him. Seeing that there was no hope of defending the city, he thought of taking advantage of his position to take his head to King Qi to ask for a reward while the commander was sleeping!
This kind of thing has happened all the time. The commander of Aoshan Guard has seen it countless times in the book. When the army is defeated, the morale of the army is shaken. Anything can happen. Between courage and greed,
At this time, it was infinitely magnified, but this time the person who was assassinated became him.
"I can't defend anymore, I can't defend anymore. This is the first time. I don't know how many people behind my back are trying to get my head, but they just haven't had time to do it yet."
The commander made up his mind, "If you persist, my head will be gone before King Qi starts to attack the city!"
Regardless of his dignity, he ran out of the room wearing a thin long blood-stained coat, barefoot, and shouted to the guards patrolling outside the door: "Prepare your horses! Prepare your horses!"
"I want to leave the city!"
…
"Zhu Gaojie", who was controlled by Cao Cao's personality, sat in his seat, a little surprised and uncertain: "You said that the Aoshan Guard commander who served as guard general Le'an came to surrender? Do you want to assassinate me?"
Cao Cao's imagination was wide open and he said with a sneer: "I thought that he must have seen that there was no hope of defending the city. He had the same feelings as Jing Ke by the Yishui River. He wanted to pretend to surrender and get close to me, and then assassinate me head on. It's ridiculous, but I didn't know that I had already understood it. In his dirty heart, he conveys my order to behead this animal and show it to the public to boost the morale of our army!"
The general on the side couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Le'an City has already surrendered. The commander of the Aoshan Guards came to surrender immediately after being assassinated. He was wearing blood-stained clothes and riding a horse barefoot. His voice was panicked, and it didn't sound fake."
Boss Cao thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. Could it be that he was too suspicious?
Immediately, Cao Cao realized that something was wrong and looked coldly at the general who spoke: "Why are you interceding on behalf of the enemy? Could it be that... you are also the daughter Gan Xieyes and Eyes placed by my side by the King of Han!"
"What the hell?" The general was confused, "Why did the prince say this? I never meant it!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, here comes someone, drag this animal down and kill it!"
…
"Cao ***'s!"
In the world in his mind, Zhu Gaojie cursed loudly, "Can you put away your suspicion? I have worked so hard to earn my reputation. You have to destroy it all for me, right?"
Cao Cao sighed: "Xiao Zhu, you just trust others too easily. You need to learn from your brother Cao and me."
"I'll learn from you, uncle!"
Zhu Gaojie said, "How do you know whether the unknown person today will be famous all over the world in the future? If he is really famous in the world in the future, will you regret it?"
Cao Cao touched his chin: "These words sound familiar, why do they sound like my lines?"
Zhu Gaojie threatened: "I advise you, rat tail juice, don't force me to slap you!"
Cao Cao sighed and said, "Xiao Zhu, your temper is too violent. Why do you always want to hit people? Listen to my advice, Brother Cao, and be calm~~calm~~"
"Come here, I'll give you two punches!"
"Thank you for the invitation, farewell!"
…
After coming back to his senses, Cao Cao coughed lightly and said, "I was a little impulsive just now. Just pretend that I didn't say anything. Let's get down to business."
He failed to kill the general just now, and was finally stopped by Zhu Gaojie.
Boss Cao was a little bit weak towards Zhu Gaojie, a tough guy. Although he usually yelled at Xiao Zhu, this Xiao Zhu really got angry, and all his personalities tied together were not enough for him to fight.
"Let the commander of Aoshan Guard come to see me. I want to see what this person thinks."
Everyone around them felt that King Qi was a little weird today, but they didn't think much about it. After all, people in the Lao Zhu family had somewhat abnormal brains, so just get used to it.
Not long after, the commander of Aoshan Guard came in embarrassedly and saluted "Zhu Gaojie".
Boss Cao took a look and saw that the man in front of him was wearing a long white coat soaked in blood. His hair was disheveled and his feet were bare, leaving a series of bloody footprints. He probably ran over without even putting on his shoes, and was bruised by the gravel path.
The man bowed his head and said, "Commander of the Aoshan Guards, the guilty minister, please see Prince Qi!"
Boss Cao looked calm: "Do you know your guilt?"
The commander of the Aoshan Guards quickly replied: "I was confused for a moment and followed the King of Han.
After defeating the traitor, I only have the imperial court in my heart. Now that I have awakened, I just want to turn around and be safe. I am willing to open the gate of Le'an City for the king and atone for my sins. Although I will die hundreds of times, Your Majesty, your mind is as big as the sea, and you allow me to offer the city to serve the imperial court! "
"shut up!"
Cao Cao slapped his hand on the armrest, startling everyone, and then angrily said, "Your ancestors lived in a wealthy life, so how are you any different from an animal? The imperial court treats you well and makes you a third-rank official. You have a high and powerful position. You actually followed the King of Han and became a rebel, and you were ungrateful to the court. Could it be that your heart and lungs were eaten by wolves and dogs?"
The commander of the Aoshan Guard heard this and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know that I am guilty. Please punish me!"
Cao Cao's words were truly terrifying, his voice was like thunder, and his power was like a mountain avalanche, which made people's evil spirits disappear into thin air.
"What if I take your life?"
Cao Cao said, "In order for you to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. You should have some idea of what to do."
"I understand. I will return to Le'an now to convince the generals in the city to open the city gates and welcome the king's troops into the city!"
Cao Cao nodded slightly: "I hope you can do things as beautifully as you say."
…
It was still dark after returning to Le'an City, and the commander of the Aoshan Guards quickly summoned his generals.
All the generals of Aoshan Guard, whether they were on duty or sleeping under the covers, were all pulled over.
Seeing the embarrassed look of their boss, someone asked in surprise: "Sir, what are you doing?"
The commander waved his hand: "It's not important, let's talk about business first. I summoned you brothers late at night to discuss important matters in detail. You must have made some guesses in your mind about what I said, so why don't you open your mouth and tell me something?"
Everyone was silent, they already had some idea in their minds.
King Qi's army is still sending letters of surrender to the city day and night. Unless you are a fool with brains on your butt, you will know that all the Aoshan guards are already thinking about surrendering the city.
But now, no one dares to speak, and no one wants to be the one who stands out.
Helpless, the commander of Aoshan Guard could only say this himself: "I am able to serve as this commander because of the trust and support of you all. Now I intend to dedicate the city to submit to the imperial court. I wonder what do you think, brothers?"
Now Aoshan Guard's commander Tongzhi, commander Qianshi, Qianhu, deputy Qianhu and other senior generals were present. Hearing this, they looked at each other. Finally, the second-in-command commander Tongzhi said: "We were deceived by the King of Han and were implicated. "What the general said is absolutely true. King Qi is the god of war and is invincible. He simply surrenders to the court and offers his city to atone for his sins, so as not to harm his soldiers."
The other person nodded slightly: "Me too."
Seeing someone agreeing, the Aoshan Guard commander also breathed a sigh of relief. Those present were the only remaining generals in Le'an City. As long as these people were dealt with, there would be no other words to stop them.
He could also see that these people had long thought of surrendering, but the commander didn't speak, and the rest of them couldn't speak either. Now when he speaks, everyone naturally agrees.
There was no way, the King of Han was too hasty in his rebellion, and the people under his command were also confused and unprepared and followed suit. Now that you are in adversity, you will naturally become timid.
"Okay, since all brothers agree, the situation is urgent and may change."
The commander of the Aoshan Guards said decisively, "I am sending my order to immediately remove the brothers stationed in the city, open the city gates, and come out of the city to surrender!"
…
The dawn light shone on the city walls of Le'an City, like the warmest salvation in winter. All the soldiers in the city left the city from the east gate, put down their weapons, and stood outside the city dejectedly.
Cao Cao, riding on his horse, nodded and smiled when he saw this scene: "Don't you hear the reputation of Duke Cao, and he immediately surrendered the enemy to the city without losing any blood, just in my name?"
The people next to me were a little confused: "Your Majesty, who is Mr. Cao?"
"You don't even know, Mr. Cao, of course he is Cao Mengde, King of Han Dynasty and Wei Dynasty!"
Cao Cao raised his hand and said, "Cao Gong is truly a hero. In the past twenty years, Cao Cao held the yellow turban in front of him, conquered Hebei, conquered Wuhuan, and conquered Jingzhou.
Only by obtaining six of the nine states can we unify the Central Plains today. Among the heroes from all over the world, who can be better than Cao Gong? "
The ignorant person said curiously: "Don't they all say that Cao Cao is a great female minister?"
"Who the hell said that? I'll kill him!"
Cao Cao's face turned dark, "Obviously others were jealous of Duke Cao's prowess, so they made such rumors to insult Duke Cao. If anyone tells you that Cao Cao is a female official in the future, I will allow you to kill him on the spot!"
Only then did the man realize that he had said the wrong thing and slapped himself.
It’s okay for the prince to just follow the conversation. Why are you so short-sighted?
The person who just spoke quickly praised: "Cao Cao is indeed a hero, but compared with you, Prince Qi, he is still a step behind."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "No, no, King Qi is nothing. Getting together with Cao Cao is like an ant seeing an elephant, or like a person at the foot of a mountain looking up to the top of the mountain, with nothing but admiration."
…
Zhu Gaojie's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this: "Boss Cao, can you please have some face?"
Cao Cao chuckled: "You descendants, you just lack respect for your ancestors. Don't you hear about Cao Mengde's unparalleled bravery?"
"I know that."
Xing Daorong on the side nodded and said, "Three sages were killed by Duke Cao with one shot. Throughout history, there are very few. Brother Cao, you slept with Zhang Xiu's aunt in Wancheng, and you slept there for one night, spending a total of one Dianwei and one Cao Ang." , a Cao Anmin, brought a famous horse Jueying, it can be said that not a single horse is left, and his eldest son, who is capable of both literary and military skills and is the most suitable to inherit the great cause, has been buried. It has to be you, Mr. Cao. .”
[In view of the general environment,
"Get out! If you don't speak, will you die?"
Cao Cao: It hurts! It hurts so much!
