Chapter 777: Rescue the Hostages
It is said that Zhang Liao and Huang Gai led a special operations team, disguised as Cao Jun, and successfully captured Xia Houmao alive who was recuperating in the East Lake Villa. Although Xia Houmao was the eldest son-in-law of the Cao family, he was originally a noble son and a lustful person, so he had a bad relationship with Mrs. Qinghe, the eldest daughter of the Cao family. Xia Houzheng received Duan Mo's report and was troubled by the conviction of his two younger brothers. He didn't expect that he would fall into the enemy's hands first.
With the support of peripheral special forces, almost all the tiger and leopard cavalry hidden stakes guarding Xia Houmao were eliminated. Zhang Liao and his party took Xia Houmao into an empty residence without any danger. Huang Gai took a ladle of cold water and splashed Xiahou Mao awake. Without saying a word, he hit Xiahou Maojun several times in the mouth with his bow. The blows made Xiahou Maojun's face turn red and he covered his cheeks and cried out in pain.
Xia Houmao was beaten up in a daze. Seeing that he was surrounded by masked men with fierce looks, but it turned out to be Cao Jun who was subdued, his mind was confused for a moment. Zhang Liao took out the dagger, put it against his chest and asked, "Do you know me?"
Xia Houmao boldly raised his eyes and vaguely recognized Zhang Liao, who was interrogated by Cao Pi today. He was shocked and said: "Zhang Liao... General, how are you treating me?"
Zhang Liao sneered and said: "Since you recognize me, you should know that I have no regard for life and death. Killing you is like killing a bed bug. Unless you take me to rescue my subordinates and relatives, today will be your memorial day next year."
Of course Xia Houmao knew that Zhang Liao was a desperado at this moment, and his body couldn't help but tremble like chaff, and he promised repeatedly that as long as he spared his life, he was willing to cooperate with everything Zhang Liao said.
Zhang Liao snorted disdainfully. He really looked down on this bear bag. He never expected that Xiahou Dun, the first hero, would give birth to such a son. Huang Gai was afraid that the night would be long and the city would be under martial law. Said to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, this kid comes here greedy for life and afraid of death. Let's set off right now."
At that moment, I also got a set of military uniforms for Xia Houmao, and he led the team straight to the temporary residence where the prisoners were detained. It turned out that because of the large number of people, Cao Pi ordered people to clear out a residential house in a narrow alley alone, imprisoned all these people, and sent hundreds of people to take turns guarding them. When Xiahou Mao arrived, the young general Han Rong happened to be on duty. His father Han Hao once served as Xiahou Dun's deputy general. When he saw Xiahou Mao leading the team slowly, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "General Xiahou is so hard-working! He is here so late. Inspection?”
When Zhang Liao saw Han Rong carefully observing Xiahou Mao, he was afraid that he would see the flaw, so he stabbed Xiahou Mao in the back with the dagger. Xiahou Mao staggered and shouted to Han Rong: "Xiao Han, please take me to your house. Sit inside. Have someone gather the team."
Han Rong hurriedly let Xia Houmao into the temporarily requisitioned small courtyard. Seeing that a dozen Cao soldiers behind Xia Houmao had also followed in, he felt slightly strange. When there was light in the room, and when he looked carefully, Xia Houmao always felt that something was wrong. But I couldn't see clearly in my daze, so I couldn't help but ask: "General Xiahou, you usually wear a golden helmet and gold armor. You are so majestic. Why are you wearing our standard military uniform today?"
This was indeed a big flaw. Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Gai jumped in and placed the dagger across Han Rong's neck. Han Rong was shocked, and when he saw Xia Houmao opposite, he also had a miserable face. Only then did he realize that Xia Houmao had been kidnapped, but it was already too late.
The cold dagger pressed tightly against Han Rong's Adam's apple, and Huang Gai whispered: "Immediately give the order to gather all the guard troops. If there is any abnormality, I will kill both of you immediately."
Xia Houmao was so frightened that he quickly said: "Xiao Han, don't be impulsive. This big brother is cruel and soft-hearted. As long as you do as they ask, I guarantee that he will not harm our lives."
Han Rong thought to himself, if I had known that you, Xiahou Mao, were greedy for life and fearful of death, I didn't know how Master Cao Pi would like you. He knew that he could only cooperate and shouted: "At the door! Call the team back and gather in the courtyard. !”
The soldier at the door didn't know why, so he quickly agreed and walked quickly to the alley to inform. Huang Gai winked, and a dozen special operations team members quickly occupied the commanding heights on the top of the wall, and used continuous crossbow landing points to control the left and right sides of the courtyard wall, forming a fire circle.
When Han Rong saw that the opponent was well-trained, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He had been practicing martial arts by his father since he was a child and thought he was quite skilled. However, it was obvious that any one of these opponents was no less skilled than him. Han Rong didn't dare to move even more. Huang Gai was behind him, clinging tightly to his back to prevent him from escaping suddenly.
The two of them stood on the steps one behind the other, and they could only hear the rumble of footsteps. Han Rong's team of 100 people filled the courtyard in an instant. Han Rong was so miserable that he could only look at the crowd and give orders: "There are too many people. Throw your weapons outside the courtyard first!"
Although all the troops were surprised when they heard this, the general's orders were still carried out to the letter. In an instant, weapons were thrown to the ground with clatter, and when all the soldiers entered the small courtyard to gather empty-handed, the courtyard door suddenly moved automatically without any wind, and closed tightly behind the soldiers with a clatter. Han Rong watched helplessly as the troops lined up, coughed and said, "Heroes! They are all here, how are you doing?"
Huang Gai saw all the troops standing neatly in front of him. Although some people noticed the layout of the tiles on the surrounding walls, they all looked at the general in silence and made no extra moves. Huang Gai couldn't help but look at Han Rong with admiration. He didn't expect that there was such a disciplined team in Cao's army, which showed that Han Rong had some leadership talents.
Huang Gai coughed, finally appeared from behind Han Rong, winked at Zhang Liao, and kept the dagger firmly pressed against Han Rong's back. Zhang Liao understood, turned around and went out with a few brothers, and went straight to the narrow alley to rescue people. Several other special forces team members blocked the door again. Here Huang Gai saw that all Cao's troops were staring at him, and he couldn't help but grinned widely: "That's right! I am the only robber!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of noise. Huang Gai waved his hand, and several powerful arrows were immediately shot out from the crossbows in the hands of the hidden special forces team members. They struck the door with sharp edges, and the arrow tails swayed slightly. Huang Gai shouted: "Whoever touches you will die! Those who are not afraid of death can come! Your General Xiahou will be the first to die! The general will be the second to die!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Rong did not want to increase the casualties of his brothers, so he quickly raised his hands and shouted: "Brothers! Be patient, I am waiting for a cheap life, and I will fight for it, but General Xiahou's life is It’s so precious, if you’re injured, we’ll be buried with you too!”
When Huang Gai saw that everyone was quiet, he laughed and said, "Exactly! We only save people for General Zhang Liao, and we don't want to hurt innocent people. This little brother is very knowledgeable. Can I share his name?"
Han Rong's face straightened and he said: "A man would never change his name in business or his surname in office. This is the case for Han Rong in Hanoi."
Huang Gai also said seriously: "It turns out to be General Han. Now I want to send someone to tie their hands and feet one by one to prevent accidents. Please ask General Han to let them cooperate to ensure their lives are safe."
Han Rong had no choice but to send an order not to resist. Huang Gai ordered his men to tie up all the troops one by one and take off their uniforms. All the troops fell to the ground in an instant, and even Han Rong and Xia Houmao were tied to pillars in front of the hall, with two people guarding them. When Huang Gai saw that everything was in order, he sat down on the steps next to Xiahou Mao and said, "Zhang Liao will finish it later. I have to trouble General Xiahou to get out of the city."
When Xia Houmao saw that Huang Gai was talking about sending them out of the city, he was very angry. He groaned but did not dare to curse. Huang Gai turned to Han Rong and said, "General Han, although I am a robber, I see that you are a talent, so I want to give you a gift so that we can meet you in the future."
Han Rong said angrily: "If we meet again, I will poke 300 transparent holes in you with my pistol."
Huang Gai laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "My lord likes heroes who are not afraid of death the most! I think you will see him unify the Central Plains one day! At that time, you can use this token to protect your family." After that, he took it out from his arms. A thing was forced into Han Rong's arms. Han Rong wanted to refuse, so he could only stare, looked at Huang Gai fiercely and asked, "Who are you? Who is your master?"
Huang Gai smiled and did not answer, and looked at the sky proudly and said: "My lord is a god descended from heaven. If you want to practice shooting with me, you can come to Guandu to see me tomorrow."
Han Rong was shocked and said: "Guandu?"
Huang Gai nodded, put his mouth to Han Rong's ear, and said softly and firmly: "You heard it right. Tonight, maybe right now, my Qinglong army has captured Guandu."
Although the volume of this voice was small, it was like a thunder in Han Rong's ears. Han Rong looked at Huang Gai dumbfounded and said, "Qinglong Army?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
