Liu Yu was focused on escaping, but he didn't care that more and more of his subordinates were fleeing.
These loyal soldiers are all members of various gangs and villages. How can they all know each other?
The soldiers and horses on the city saw that their commander was defeated and hurriedly opened the city gate. A group of defeated soldiers fought for it and swarmed in.
The defenders hurriedly closed the city gate, and the two demons of Xiangzhou who stayed behind hurriedly came to pick him up. Seeing Liu Yu's desolate appearance, they were all surprised and said: "Your Majesty, you are so scheming, how did you lose?"
Liu Yu ran away and cursed loudly when he heard this: "'Bi Guijing's stupid plan asked me to break up his fake defeat in two formations. Unexpectedly, the opponent was even better than 'Bi Gui Jing', and he also divided into two formations to set up ambushes." , and even deployed countless artillery carts, hitting hard rocks indiscriminately, let alone my king, even if Cao Mengde is alive, he will be defeated."
Liu Yu, who had witnessed the troubled autumn of the Song Dynasty, had been disobedient for a long time. He often regarded himself as a "treacherous hero in troubled times", so he admired Cao Cao the most, so he easily pulled it out to cover his shame.
Speaking of idols, his panicked mind seemed to gain some peace. He calmed down and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Ha, hahahahaha."
The two demons in Xiangzhou were dumbfounded, wondering if this guy had lost his mind and gone crazy? I couldn't help but ask: "Why is the prince laughing?"
In fact, how did Liu Yu know why he was laughing? Just remembering that your idol has failed repeatedly and never gets discouraged, how can you not imitate him?
He said smoothly: "I... laughed at the fact that the Song army had no plan after all. Although they defeated me through trickery, they finally let me fight back into the city. When I close the door and defend, what can he do to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Jun, the "ogre", suddenly saw two big men squeezing forward. He glared and shouted: "You two fat maggots, why are you squeezing around? Don't you see the prince talking to us?"
Zhang Bofen was furious and immediately yelled back: "You are the fat maggot, you are the maggot that eats fat in the manure!"
Tao Jun was stunned, and when he was about to draw the knife, Zhang Bofen opened his arm, overturned more than ten people, took out a sledgehammer behind him, and smashed the head of the dignified "ogre" into mincemeat.
The "murderer" Jia Jin was shocked and drew his sword to kill Zhang Bofen. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongxiong jumped into him and knocked Jia Jin to the ground. Zhang Bofen swung his hammer and hit him with another puddle of meat.
So far, the two demons in Xiangzhou have turned into meat cakes.
Zhang Zhongxiong suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Brother, he knew that the two of them were equally divided, but you took them all away. Where is my credit?"
Zhang Bofen realized that he was wrong, rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Yu, pointed and said: "I will give you this great achievement."
Zhang Zhongxiong turned his anger into joy and chopped with a five-foot sword.
Liu Yuhun flew out of the sky, turned around and walked into the crowd, shouting randomly: "Guard you, protect you!"
However, Zhang Zhongxiong was slicing down the enemy with his big sword. The bandit army in front of him was killing them all. Who dared to step forward? He caught up with Liu Yu in a few steps and slashed the "King of Bianliang" into two pieces with a knife in his back. His fat intestines leaked out and flowed all over the ground. The stench filled the sky.
The power of this sword was so astonishing that the thieves were stunned and stared at the two of them, not daring to speak.
Brothers, look at me and I look at you. Zhang Bofen slapped his forehead and shouted, "Oh, I seem to have forgotten something."
Zhang Zhongxiong suddenly thought and shouted: "Kill the thieves and seize the city!"
Two thousand officers and soldiers mixed in the crowd heard the order, and with a coaxing sound, they all took out a piece of white cloth and bit it on their mouths. Anyone who did not contain white cloth would be killed if they let go. The thieves and soldiers in the city were in chaos.
The city gate behind was also opened, and Wang Wende from outside the city laughed loudly and waved his troops in.
Although there are still more than ten thousand people in his city, all the generals have been killed, so how can they resist? They immediately collapsed, the timid ones knelt down and surrendered, while the bold ones resorted to various means to escape from the city and go their separate ways.
Not long after, Cao Cao entered the city and sent out a military law team, led by Hu Sanniang, to patrol the city to prevent these officers and soldiers from killing easily and disturbing the civilians.
On the eighth day of August, Lao Cao regained Gongyi.
At dusk, Shi Wengong, Gongsun Sheng, and Dai Zong came to the city with hundreds of troops. Luo Yanqing was still sitting on his red horse, but his golden armor had been stripped off, and a rope was tied up with flowers. It was obvious at a glance that he was The traditional craftsmanship of Jiangzhou Laochengying.
Luo Yanqing lowered his head, looking like wheat that had been hit by hail, without any hint of arrogance.
Cao Cao glanced at him, looked at Shi Wengong and said, "How?"
Shi Wengong smiled and said: "He is a good player. After fighting for seventy or eighty years, he just lost one move to me. This guy's Luo family gun may not be inferior to the 'Jade Qilin' in ten years."
Luo Yanqing was originally dejected, but after hearing these words, he regained some energy and asked curiously: "You are talking about the three greatest talents in Hebei, Lu Junyi, the 'Jade Qilin'? I have heard for a long time that this person has the best sticks in the world. Could it be that he has also learned from me?" The Luo family gun?"
Cao Cao said kindly: "'Jade Qilin' Lu Junyi, 'Leopard Head' Lin Chong, and a young brother Yue Fei are all Shaanxi heroes Zhou Tong's disciples, and Zhou Laoxia's marksmanship is the authentic Luo family spear."
Luo Yanqing suddenly said: "Ah, it turns out he is the apprentice of 'Iron Arm Arm'! Senior Zhou learned his marksmanship from my grandfather..."
At this point, he suddenly became melancholy: "Hey, I don't know where his old man is now. My father and ancestors all left early, so I can only practice according to the gun manual. There are several joints that I can't figure out. If we can meet, You can ask him for advice."
Lao Cao's face turned slightly gloomy and he sighed: "But you are not lucky. On July 15th, we were waiting to defeat the Western Xia and Jin coalition forces at the gate of Taiyuan City. The old man was exhausted from fighting and was hit by a cold arrow from the Jin general Han Chang. He passed away. .”
Luo Yanqing's expression changed: "'Shot into the iron' Han Chang? I have heard this person's name before under Liu Yu's command. Hum, if I meet this person in the future, I will kill him to avenge Senior Zhou."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "No need. My brother Lin Chong killed this man on the spot and avenged his master."
After hearing this, Luo Yanqing couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and said repeatedly: "What a Lin Chong, you are so happy!"
Looking at his expression, Cao Cao knew that he was also a straight-hearted man. He smiled slightly, drew his sword and cut the rope, looked into his eyes and said: "If you want to master your marksmanship, why not stay with me? Lin Chong has reached the pinnacle of his skills. Zhou If the old knight can give you advice, he can naturally do it too. Or if Brother Lu comes over in a few days, it will be normal for you to ask him for advice."
Luo Yanqing looked hesitant and looked at Shi Wengong: "How do Lin Chong and Lu Junyi compare with this Shi Shenqiang?"
Cao Cao smiled and said nothing, and Shi Wengong said: "A few years ago, I had a fight with Yu Qilin, and I lost with one hundred and twenty moves. As for Coach Lin..."
He blinked and showed an indescribable expression: "His martial arts skills were half inferior to those of Yu Qilin and I, but in the past few years, he has broken through several passes in a row, and may be slightly better than the two of us. It’s unknown…”
He smiled, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. At this stage, if we don't fight a life and death battle, it will be difficult to distinguish between high and low."
After saying that, he looked at Luo Yanqing: "If you don't die, in ten years you may be able to reach our realm."
Luo Yanqing looked strange: "How can you curse me?"
Dai Zong said at the side: "Hey! It's strange. You are an enemy of my brother and were captured by us. If you don't want to surrender, we will naturally kill you."
Luo Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered his identity as a prisoner. He smiled bitterly and looked at Lao Cao: "You can kill him if you want. Anyway, I don't want to be a court dog."
Lao Cao said: "How strange! You are willing to be a golden man, a dog, and a horse. Why are you so hostile to the court?"
Luo Yanqing sneered and said: "I only joined Liu Yu after the Jin people left. I never regarded him as my leader. I was just a partner."
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said: "Since you don't want to be an official and soldier, I can't force you. But now I want to eradicate the Khitans and destroy the Jurchens. This is the common cause of the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world. If you don't want to be a Song Dynasty, don't you mean that you will join the descendants of Yan and Huang?" Don’t do it either?”
Luo Yanqing didn't expect him to say such an argument. He thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "How can I be allowed to make the decision with my blood in my bones? Since we are dealing with a foreign race, Luo cannot stay out of it. But after the battle, I will If you leave, you will never become a minister of the Zhao family."
Lao Cao laughed: "It's all up to you."
Dai Zong curled his lips and said, "You know what's going on."
Luo Yanqing glared at him and suddenly shouted: "By the way, if you want me to surrender, there is one more condition. That is to let me beat this man. He just tied me with such force that his bones were almost broken."
Cao Cao smiled and consoled him: "Since he has tied the tiger, how can it not be tight? We are all brothers from now on, so don't worry about it."
When Luo Yanqing heard that Lao Cao compared him to a tiger, he couldn't help but turn from anger to happiness. He nodded and said: "If you say this, it is indeed reasonable, but you can't blame him."
Lao Cao was very happy to receive this young tiger general and asked him to choose his own troops among the captives.
Luo Yanqing was not polite. In addition to the death of his subordinates, he also selected more than 2,000 people, all of whom were good fighters among thieves. Together, he gathered 3,000 soldiers and horses, and took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Si River. Lao Cao happily agreed.
The next day, under the angry eyes of brothers Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong, Luo Yanqing led three thousand troops and rushed to Sishui to kill them.
