Na Shichang told what happened tremblingly.
At this moment, Wu Ju's body was still on the city wall.
He never understood why he died.
There were more than a thousand defenders on the city wall. When he heard the sound of Cao Jun's drums, he made a decisive decision to let these people kill Jian Yong and Zhao Yun.
But he never expected that during the siege of more than a hundred people, Zhao Yun not only killed many people, but also rushed to him.
It happened that one of his soldiers accidentally killed Jian Yong, who was stubbornly resisting, and Zhao Yun's eyes immediately turned red.
Zhao Yun knew that Wu Ju wanted to betray Liu Bei and Adou, so he stopped talking nonsense with Wu Ju, stabbed Wu Ju to death with the knife he grabbed, and then jumped into the city.
At that time, the whole Guangxin was in chaos.
The captain was gone, the prefect was gone, Jian Yong, who could have sustained the situation, died, and Zhao Yun became the enemy of the defenders.
The defenders no longer knew who to listen to. They could only instinctively follow Wu Ju's last instructions, kill Zhao Yun and open the city gate.
As a result, Zhao Yun was not killed, and the city gate was opened by Zhao Yun first. However, they were all frightened by Zhao Yun's bravery, and no one dared to go out.
Fortunately, the old general who came in pardoned them.
When Cao Wu entered the city, he was extremely surprised when he heard the news.
What a trick of fate. He didn't want to kill Wu Ju. He just wanted to take away Wu Ju's military power as usual and let him work as a sinecure in Xudu to provide for his retirement.
With Wu Ju's qualifications, it is naturally impossible to be a Jiuqing, but it is more than enough to be an admonishing doctor and a Taizhong doctor.
After Wu Ju left, Cangwu, the gateway to Jiaozhou and the second largest county in Jiaozhou, would completely fall into his hands. When the time comes, he will arrange for trustworthy people to serve as prefects, and he will have the backing to attack the entire Jiaozhou, and the transportation of grain and grass will also be improved. It will become extremely convenient.
However, fate is not as good as fate. Wu Ju is dead and everyone who can subdue Cang Wu is dead. It will become difficult to conquer Cang Wu again.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to hold Zhao Yun responsible for killing Wu Ju. After all, Jian Yong also died in that fight.
But no matter what, the situation in Cangwu always needs to be stabilized first.
Cao Wu went up to the city wall and saw the tragic battlefield on the wall and Wu Ju's fat body.
Wu Ju probably never knew in his wildest dreams that Guangxin City, which he had been running all his life, had not resisted any external enemies. The only battles that took place were fighting inside the city walls.
Zhao Yun and Jian Yong, or mainly Zhao Yun, killed nearly a hundred people.
You know, this is the era of cold weapons, Zhao Yun is not riding a horse, fighting on foot, this kind of killing number is simply heavenly, and it is a world of difference from ordinary people.
In this era when Lu Bu and Dian Wei died one after another, Zhao Yun's martial arts can be ranked among the top three in the world, and may even be the first, on par with Guan Yu and others.
Cao Wuchang sighed and asked Lu Xun to arrange for people to clean up the bodies of Wu Ju and Jian Yong. They were both of the same party and should be buried properly.
Lu Xun took the order and went.
Cao Wu stood at the top of Guangxin City, looking out at the camp guarded by Le Jin, with the flag still fluttering in the wind.
In just two days, he captured Guangxin without a single blow. The battle was perfect.
Cao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Diao Chan: "Do you think I was wrong in using these conspiracies?"
Diao Chan came up and pinched Cao Wu's shoulders at the top of the city. While squeezing, he said: "Because of Cao Lang's plan, countless people were saved from the war, countless people did not need to be displaced, and countless soldiers did not need to persevere. How can it be counted?" Wrong. For the sake of the people and the people of Cangwu, there should be more such conspiracies and tricks. Besides, Captain Guanqiu ambushed the enemy and General Huang destroyed the city with three arrows. They were all serious battles, so how can they be considered conspiracy?"
Cao Wu was only touched by Zhao Yun's bravery, and quickly threw away this thought under Diao Chan's pressure. Diao Chan was right, it was best for the people to capture the city without bloodshed.
The next step is to regain the counties and cities that were originally under Cangwu's jurisdiction.
Cangwu has ten counties, namely Guangxin, Xiemu, Gaoyao, Fengyang, Linhe, Duanxi, Fengcheng, Fuchuan, Lipu and Mengling. Among them, Guangxin, Fengyang and other places passing through from the north are all It has been conquered, but there are still six counties that have not yet been conquered.
Cao Wu's idea was to let the officials who were still alive in Guangxin City, even if they were just minor officials, take the heads of District Jing to persuade these counties.
But there is a problem here. Although Wu Ju is not outstanding in ability, when he was alive, the entire territory of Cangwu was his territory, and he personally appointed the county magistrates and county magistrates. They obeyed his orders. Wu Ju If the death is unclear, these counties may not be able to surrender.
This was a problem. Cao Wu asked the generals to discuss it. Xing Daorong was the first to stand up and said: "General Beifu, give me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I will wipe out the six counties!"
Wei Yan immediately said: "I only need four thousand!"
Normally, he would not have dared to go against a confidant of the prefect like Xing Daorong, but times have changed and he has won Cao Wu's trust. Today, he protected Huang Zhong on the battlefield, and he deserves a share of the credit for the capture of Guangxin. As he spoke, his waist could not help but stiffen.
Cao Wu was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded. He could still be involved. The next general wouldn't say that he could pacify six counties with just three thousand men!
Fortunately, Zhang Liao made peace and said: "Cangwu's military strength is still concentrated in Guangxin and the 8,000 people who went north. There are not many troops in the six counties. There is no need for the generals to fight. At the worst, everyone can lead their own troops."
Cao Wu's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
So based on his own ideas, he added the idea of a general leading five hundred people to go with him.
So he dispatched six generals including Xing Daorong and Wei Yan, each with 500 cavalry. At dawn the next day, he took the officials from Guangxin City and went to the six counties to surrender.
However, Cao Wu also clearly pointed out that if the six counties do not open the city gates and do not attack by force, they will still need to face Jiangdong's army. Without knowing the details of Jiangdong, they cannot easily risk losing their troops.
Fortunately, if they can control Cangwu, Jiangdong's army will only have sea reinforcements, and Zhou Yu's tribe, which has entered Jiaozhi, will be alone.
When Cangwu failed to win, it was Cao Wu who was anxious. With Cangwu in hand, it was Zhou Yu who was anxious.
After arranging all this, Lu Xun reported that the officials still alive in Guangxin City and some squires asked to see him. However, Cao Wu did not want to see these people at all and asked Lu Xun, a staff member, to receive them.
Lu Xun was a formal official recruited by Beifu. Although his identity could not be revealed, his status was very high. Meeting these people was enough, but Cao Wu was not willing to do these trivial matters.
He first went to see Zhao Yun's injuries. Zhao Yun was still in a coma and was relying on medicine to survive. He didn't know when he would wake up. It seemed that even he was not doing well when faced with the siege of so many defenders on the city wall.
Then, he came to where Mi Zhen and Adou were.
Before Wu Ju turned against Liu Bei, he did not neglect Liu Bei's wife and son. He used an unused mansion of his own and had several servants and maids.
After Mi Zhen fled south from Xinye, she finally enjoyed being cared for again. However, within a few days of being happy, the city was destroyed, the prefect died, Jian Yong died, Zhao Yun was seriously injured, and her fate was really unpredictable.
She was washing her face with tears when she suddenly heard that Beifu General Cao Wu was coming, and she was startled.
"General Beifu... Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao Cao, ah!"
Mi Zhen's face turned pale.
Cao Wu came in and sat down politely. Mi Zhen's heart was pounding and she didn't dare to look at Cao Wu.
She originally wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, but Adou still needed someone to take care of her, so she bit her lip and did not dare to say anything.
Cao Wudao: "Mrs. Mi, Cao came here with an unkind invitation..."
"no!"
Mi Zhen stood up immediately, her face as white as paper filled with horror.
Cao Wuyi hesitated. Why was she so anxious before he asked her to help convince Zhao Yun?
