Chapter 566 Accidental Hostage
It is said that Zhao Yun used his troops cautiously and followed Zhuge Liang's plan for a surprise attack on Hefei. The surprise attack troops ran for 300 miles without rest. They first sneaked into the West Camp in the north of Hefei City and then arranged an ambush along the way. Everything was busy but not chaotic. In the early morning, when the sky was gray, we finally took advantage of the enemy's laxity and cooperated with the scouts who entered the ambush in the moat last night to break through the north gate of Hefei, which is high in the city and deep in the pond.
The Green Dragon Cavalry swarmed in, and Cao Jun's defense on the northern side of the city wall collapsed. All Cao Jun's shooters on the wall were wiped out by Zhao Yun. The Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear returned to Zhao Yun's hands from under the Thousand Jin Gate without any damage. Zhao Yun was so happy that he jumped into the battle group with almost no generals under his command.
The Cao army defending the city was obviously stunned by the sudden attack and could hardly organize any organized resistance. Zhao Yun was fighting back and forth, seeing the enemy gradually being killed and scattered, knowing that the overall situation was decided. Just as I was taking a breath, I suddenly saw a group of black-armored cavalry turning the corner and sprinting towards Nancheng with all their strength. Their combat power was extremely strong and they quickly broke through the siege of the Qinglong Army, like a sharp arrow tearing rice paper, breaking through many obstacles.
The words "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" flashed in Zhao Yun's mind, and the gun barrel hit the white dragon horse hard in turns. The white dragon horse screamed violently, and flew straight towards the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Hundreds of birds shot at the Phoenix Cavalry. Everywhere, although the tiger and leopard cavalry were fierce, they could not withstand the thunderous guns and fell off their horses one after another, and screams rang out one after another. The tiger and leopard cavalry stopped in an instant and formed a formation to resist desperately. Everyone was fearless and fearless, as if they were protecting someone. Zhao Yun was about to hit the core, when suddenly a steel spear was stretched out from the thorn, and the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear was held up with a clang.
Zhao Yun paused for a moment, feeling the power coming from the opponent's gun, and knew he had met a master. Opposite was a young face, with a fair face and a slight moustache, eyebrows swept backwards, a pair of tiger eyes, and the corners of his mouth were pursed and he stared at Zhao Yun firmly, as if he was a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. Behind him is an official holding a sword. He looks like the sky is full and the earth is round. He is only thirty years old. He is wearing a crown, his eyes are looking at the world with a hint of disdain, and the brown war horse under his crotch is very... Tall and powerful.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly. These two people must be the most important commanders of Cao's army in Hefei City. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by him before they could leave the city in time. However, these two people were so young. Zhao Yun became curious and asked, "Please tell me your name on the other side. Zhao Zilong from Changshan will not kill the nameless ghosts with his spear."
Zhao Yun's name was already powerful in China at that time, but the young man holding the gun snorted disdainfully. It seemed to be an honor coming from the family of a famous general. Sure enough, the young man responded: "Everyone says that Zhao Zilong's marksmanship is as good as a god, but I just don't believe it!" As he said that, the steel gun in his hand quickly shot out again, and it stabbed Zhao Yun's throat like lightning.
Zhao Yun didn't even look at the shadow of the opponent's gun. The Silver Spear Divine Dragon swung its tail and swept towards the opponent's gun-wielding bones. Between the virtual and real marksmanship, it bounced from the opponent's visual blind spot. A few gun flowers were like charcoal fire flying from hell, erratic. Time has arrived in front of the other party. The young man didn't expect that Zhao Yun's marksmanship was so fast and strange, and he couldn't care less about hurting the enemy in his busy schedule. He suddenly lowered his waist backwards, did an iron plank bridge on horseback, and lay down on the horse, barely dodging a few gun flowers. , and at the same time raised the steel gun to protect his chest, and sure enough, Zhao Yun's Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear had already pressed down and hit his gun body with another loud bang.
Zhao Yun used his arms hard to pin him down on his horse's back. The young man raised his gun and gritted his teeth to hold on. He wanted to get up but couldn't. It was very difficult to maintain the Iron Banqiao posture. Suddenly, the official behind him rushed over with his horse and sword drawn. The horse was extremely fast and arrived in front of Zhao Yun's horse in the blink of an eye. The sword technique was agile and exquisite, but the strength seemed to be slightly lacking.
The corner of Zhao Yun's mouth was slightly raised, and his right hand remained unmoved, still suppressing the young general under the steel gun. He flipped his wrist with his left hand and drew out the saber from behind, hitting the opponent's sword with a sharp sound, and the long sword swung away. , the saber moved forward smoothly, and happened to sit on the official's throat.
The air froze instantly, and the three people stopped all movements at the same time. The scene froze in front of them. The official's throat was sealed with a sharp blade, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped. The tiger and leopard cavalry around him had all been subdued by the Qinglong Army. Zhao Yun shouted calmly: "You still won't surrender?"
At this time, the young official only needed to stab forward slightly with his saber, and the young official would be punished. However, although the official did not dare to move even slightly, the look of contempt in his eyes did not diminish at all. Zhao Yun was slightly surprised when he saw that his Qinglong guards had gathered around him and shouted: "They are all tied up."
The Qinglong guards, like wolves and tigers, dragged the two young generals from their horses horizontally and vertically, tied them up like rice dumplings, and collected two good horses at the same time. While the two men were struggling, they kept shouting "I will not surrender until I die." words. Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, pulled the brown war horse and took a closer look. He saw that the horse was tall, with huge hooves, long legs, shiny coat, and neat mane. He couldn't help but praise it: "What a horse!"
Zhao Yun turned around and asked the arrogant official kindly: "I see that you have a calm demeanor, and your mount is such a horse. You must be an important figure in Cao Cao's army, and you are dressed as a civilian. I can't think of any counselor under Cao Cao who is so young?"
The scribe snorted and said: "Zhao Zilong, don't humiliate me, how can you confuse master and servant? I am Cao Ang. My Cao family is the master of the Central Plains, how can I surrender to you!"
Zhao Yun's heart was filled with huge waves, and he didn't expect that the young scribe opposite him turned out to be Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao. Cao Ang, also known as Zixiu, was Cao Cao's eldest son and was born to the Liu family. However, his biological mother died early, so he was raised by the main wife Ding. According to the official history, Cao Ang was promoted as Xiaolian when he was twenty years old. In the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), he accompanied Cao Cao on an expedition against Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled again. Cao Ang was killed to save Cao Cao. His posthumous title is King Fengmin.
This unexpected hostage made Zhao Yun very happy. He didn't care whether Cao Ang surrendered or not, and he didn't care whether Cao Ang was greedy for life or afraid of death. But as long as Cao Ang was in hand, even if Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops counterattacked to the foot of Hefei tomorrow, he still had Cao Ang. With my hands, I can guard Hefei for at least half a month longer.
It seems that Cao Cao was worried about Cao Ang's safety. Although he took Cao Ang out to fight and gain experience, he still put Cao Ang in the relatively safe city of Hefei. I didn't expect that I would go deep behind enemy lines and hold Cao Cao's eldest son in the palm of my hand. It really took no effort to get him.
Zhao Yun concealed the ecstasy in his heart, turned his eyes to the young general next to him, and asked: "Don't you also have the surname Cao? Will you surrender?"
The young general stood with his brows on his head and shouted sternly: "Your grandfather, my surname is Xiahou, and my only name is the word "Ba"! Do you want me to surrender or not?"
Zhao Yun was enlightened. The relationship between the Cao family and the Xiahou family has been unclear for several generations. He couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out he is a descendant of the Xiahou family! No wonder he wears the same pants with Cao Ang and has to protect him at all costs. , he can be regarded as half a master! There are not many successful people in the Xiahou family, is your father Xiahou Yuan or Xiahou Dun? "
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
