The earth-shaking difference in mood, the most intolerable deception, it's surprising that Cao Zhang has a good temper.
Still unable to let go after being slapped away by Zhuge Hong, Cao Zhang was about to rush forward and stamp his feet, but Zhang Jia hurriedly caught him and said softly: "Third Young Master, this order is false, but the seal is true. Something will happen to Yecheng."
Something has happened, we need to ask Zhuge Hong."
"Father..." When Cao Zhang heard this, he immediately became anxious. The seal could be sealed, but the order was fake, which means... Cao Zhang didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he picked up Zhuge Hong, who was like a chicken: "Say, who's name?"
Where is my father about the false orders you passed down?"
Zhuge Hongyuan didn't want to hide it. He had difficulty breathing when his body was lifted by Cao Zhang. He forced himself to put on a disdainful expression on his face, holding his breath and said: "Cao Zhang, you dare to kill me? Hum, let me tell you the truth, your Cao family
The clan, as well as the Xiahou clan, are all in our hands. Cao Cao and your mother Bian are all under house arrest.
Can you try using my finger? I can kill your whole family."
"What did you say?" Cao Zhang asked in a deep voice, as if he heard wrongly.
Zhuge Hong had no scruples and told the whole story about the Yecheng coup. Cao Tai and others opened their jaws and were shocked. After a while, Cao Zhang said "Wow" and threw Zhuge Hong out.
, hit the wall hard.
Zhuge Hong slid down from the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cao Pi, Sima Yi, Sima Hui, Zhuge Ci, I'm going to kill you, kill you, cut you into thousands of pieces, ah..." Cao Zhang was furious, and kept beating the wall with his fists, making the whole room want to shake.
.
Zhang Jia, Zhang Yan and others were stunned on the spot. There was a coup in Yecheng. Cao Cao and all the Cao family and Xiahou family were placed under house arrest. Cao Chong, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao left Yecheng with two thousand people?
This is simply incredible.
"Third General, let's fight back. We have an army of 100,000. There are Sichuan troops behind us. We will fight with those gangsters." He opened his jaw and said loudly.
"I want to be a pioneer." Zhang Xiu tightened his grip on his sword and stepped forward.
"Of course we, the Cao family, will be the vanguard. I will personally cut off Sima Yi and Sima Hui's dog's head." Cao Tai finally reacted, and was replaced by deep anger, wishing he could fight back to Yecheng now.
"If you don't care about the life and death of the Cao family, your family members in Yecheng, and the family members of your soldiers in Hebei, then you can go back."
After Zhuge Hong finished speaking, Cao Zhang and others were stunned. Yes, the families of the 100,000 troops on the front line are all in Hebei, and the families of the generals are still in Yecheng. If they are killed back...
Zhuge Hong saw that a group of military generals had calmed down. He felt calm and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zhongda has been named the Prime Minister of the Wei State and is now in charge of the affairs of the Wei State. Even if this order was not given by the King of Wei, it is still a military order.
I advise you to go and defend Guancheng now. I heard that the Sichuan Army is only ten miles away. If the Sichuan Army enters the Pass, our various families will be finished by then, but before we are finished, your family members must be finished first."
"You..." He opened his jaw and looked at Zhuge Hong furiously.
Zhuge Hong showed no fear and said to Cao Zhang: "Third general, you must know that if you hesitate here for a quarter of an hour, you will push your father, your father, and everyone in your Cao family to the edge of death. I don't mind your hesitation.
I won’t argue with you about my injury. Didn’t you just want to kill me? Come on...hehe, lend me your courage. I’m going to rest. When I wake up, I don’t want to see the Sichuan army entering the border...
"
"Ah, go to hell." Cao Zhang suddenly became furious, rushed forward, and hit Zhuge Hong on the temple with an uppercut. Zhuge Hong's thin head collapsed instantly. He turned around and looked at Cao Zhang for three seconds, in disbelief.
He fell to the ground.
When he opened his jaw and looked forward, he was dead.
"Good kill." Cao Tai roared and said to Cao Zhang: "Three generals, kill them back. The world has more than 200,000 troops along the Yellow River. It's just those chickens and dogs. There is no need for the Sichuan army. We have 100,000 troops.
It’s a sure win.”
"Order to defend the city."
Suddenly, Cao Zhang said decadently.
"Third General, what did you say?" Cao Tai looked at Cao Zhang in disbelief.
"Third General, now that the King of Wei is under house arrest, how can we obey the orders of the rebels?" Zhang Jia and Zhang Xiu said at the same time. Although Zhang Yan and Li Dian did not speak, they obviously meant the same thing.
Cao Zhang shook his head slowly, he could kill Zhuge Hong, because even if Zhuge Hong died, the people in Yecheng would not dare to do anything to him, but if he was really put into the Sichuan Army, all the Cao family would definitely die.
"Guard the city." Cao Zhang couldn't say anything else, so he picked up the sword on the ground and went to get the military talisman in Zhang Xiu's hand. He took it, but Zhang Xiu didn't react and didn't let go.
Cao Zhang took back his hand, sighed, and said to Zhang Xiu: "Okay, I know that the defenders at this time are indeed very cowardly and ungeneral. It can make those bastards in Yecheng laugh their heads off with joy. This is a shame. Cao Zhang can't do anything to make it difficult for you.
General."
Cao Zhang took a breath and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, I will give you the military talisman. You are the commander-in-chief of the army. Cao Zhang has no objection at all if you return to the Sichuan Army, but I ask you to wait until Cao Zhang is dead."
After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he took his sword and walked out. Cao Tai quickly grabbed Cao Zhang and asked, "Where are the three generals going?"
"I will go out alone to resist the Sichuan army. After I die, you will open the city and surrender."
Cao Zhang could not see his father and family die, but he also knew that defending the city at this time would fulfill the wishes of those who rebelled against the party. Cao Zhang did not want to do either, so he could only die a hundred times.
At first, they were reluctant to surrender to the Sichuan Army, but so quickly, surrender became a luxury.
"Third General."
Zhang Xiu stopped Cao Zhang who was walking to the door, walked up to Cao Zhang, and returned the tiger talisman to Cao Zhang: "Third general, Zhang Xiu has surrendered to the king of Wei since he returned. The king of Wei has always treated him with kindness. Today, the king of Wei is in danger, and Zhang Xiu cannot abandon him.
Regardless, since the three generals are defending the city... then let’s defend the city."
Zhang Xiu said with a look of reluctance on his face, but his current reluctance was completely different from the initial reluctance to surrender. It was more filled with hatred.
The rest of the generals were silent. At first, for the sake of the blood of soldiers, they all wanted to defend the city, but now defending the city has become the biggest shame, and they have to defend the city, and they have nothing to say.
"Generals." Cao Zhang looked at the generals and bowed deeply: "Cao Zhang, on behalf of my father, would like to thank you for your kindness. I know that if you ask the generals to defend the city at this time, you are asking the generals to help the evildoers.
However, Cao Zhang has no choice but to defend the city. His father, king and mother are in the hands of the rebels, as well as all the Cao family's children. I cannot abandon them, so I must stand at Huguan until I die in battle.
But Cao Zhang cannot let all the generals suffer because of his own selfishness. Both my father and I, Cao Zhang, are very grateful to all the generals for being able to follow my Cao family to this point."
Cao Zhang stepped forward and said to Zhang Jia and others: "Generals, you have two choices now. The first is to let Cao Zhang and Cao Tai lead troops and horses to stop the Sichuan army. If a worm shakes a tree, I, Cao Zhang, will die.
There are no worries anymore.
The second option is for you generals to join the Sichuan Army with your brothers who are willing to follow you. I, Cao Zhang, will explain the situation to those noble families and assure you that if those noble families dare to touch a hair of your generals’ families, I, Cao Zhang, will not give up.
Both jade and stone will be burned, and they will definitely abandon the pass and leave.
However, I, Cao Zhang, am guarding the pass here, and we will be enemies from now on. If you generals attack Hu Pass, you must not show mercy to the selfish Cao Zhang."
"Third General." Zhang Jiao, Zhang Yan and others all knew that Cao Zhang, as a young tiger general, had always been arrogant and despised everything. How difficult it was to say these words now, and they all knew the pain in Cao Zhang's heart.
All the generals said together: "We are willing to live and die together with the three generals."
"You are older than me, Cao Zhang, but you are all more confused than Cao Zhang?" Cao Zhang asked, "Are you all staying here to be loyal to my Cao family? That is to serve the bastards of the world. You generals are loyal to your heart.
, do you deserve to have those offal?"
Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You generals have only these two choices. One is that Cao Zhang goes out and fights the Sichuan army to the death, and the other is that you generals lead their cronies to surrender. Not only will I, Cao Zhang, not complain about your generals surrendering to the enemy, on the contrary, I hope that you will
The general will kill all the clansmen in the future to avenge my Cao family, Cao Zhang will be grateful."
Cao Zhang bowed here. This action of bowing was something Cao Zhang had only done to Cao Cao before today. Even in front of Liu Xie, Cao Zhang despised him.
…
Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying led the army into Huguan. Seeing the city in sight, Huang Yueying smiled at Liu Zhang and said: "After passing this pass, we will leave the Taihang Mountains. Hebei can be determined at a snap of the finger."
"What a magnificent pass." Liu Zhang looked at the pass built on the mountain. Although it was not as good as Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass, it was also a pass that one man could not open.
How much time did we have and how many soldiers died? Cao Mengde’s move has to be admitted to be righteous.”
"When Hebei is settled, Jiangdong won't be around for a few days, Yueying." Liu Zhang leaned into Huang Yueying's ear and whispered: "You said you would marry me after you conquered the world?"
Huang Yueying's pink cheeks turned red. At this moment, a large number of troops suddenly came from the front, about thousands of them.
"Who is it?" Liu Zhang pointed with his whip.
"General Cao opened his jaw."
"Cao General Zhang Yan."
"Cao General Zhang Xiu."
"Cao General Li Dian."
…
"Meet His Highness the King of Shu." More than a dozen generals said to him together.
"Generals, please get up." Liu Zhang immediately dismounted, looked at the generals of Cao's army, and smiled: "Liu Zhang is really sorry that the generals came so far to greet you. Don't worry, no matter Cao Jiangchuan, he will be a Han general from now on. I
Liu Zhang would never..."
"King of Shu." Zhang Jia interrupted Liu Zhang's words, knelt down and raised his hands: "We are not here to welcome the King of Shu, but to surrender to the King of Shu. The three generals are guarding Hu Pass and the Sichuan army cannot get through."
