Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 439 Xingzong risked his life to break Hangzhou
Fan Rui raised his sword and ordered Xin Xingzong to surrender.

Xin Xingzong put his heart to one side, and gritted his teeth secretly: My old Xin family has been a general for generations, and has been deeply favored by the emperor. Unless we are in a helpless situation, how can we easily surrender to the thief?
So he tried his best to squeeze out a flattering smile, and said quickly like a fried bean: "The Immortal Elder's supernatural powers are truly unrivaled in the world, and Xin admires him so much! The Immortal Elder may not know that today's officials respect Taoism, such as the Immortal Elder. If you are willing to work for the imperial court, how can it be worth mentioning that you will be rewarded with a thousand gold for your wife and children? The young general is not talented, so I would like to recommend it..."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Rui laughed loudly, and with a little force on his hand, he cut the skin of his neck immediately. Xin Xingzong had no choice but to scream: "All soldiers will listen to my order, put down their weapons quickly, and retreat for three miles."

Those soldiers had complex expressions, but they didn't dare to disobey the general's order, so they had to retreat one after another.

Shi Jin and others laughed, rushed over, lifted Xin Xingzong across the saddle, returned to his horse and galloped away.

Xin You and Xin Ding, the generals of the Xin family, came leading the troops. Seeing the general being captured, his liver and gallbladder were torn, and he shouted: "How can we let him go? It is a serious crime to trap the general. Follow me to rescue the general." .”

The Western soldiers and horses from all directions gathered together and chased after them chaotically. Shi Jin and the others ignored him and just walked.

In front of the suspension bridge, there are Li Kui, Yu Baosi, and Taihu Four Heroes on the left, and Liu Tang and Sanruan on the right.

Li Kui was naked and light, and strided forward. When Xin You wanted to chop him with a long axe, he snatched it into his arms early, and chopped off the horse's foot with his hand. The horse fell to the ground and fell. .

Xin Ding wanted to avenge his comrades, but Yu Bao stabbed him obliquely and shouted, "Ah, jade belt around the waist!" He swung the ax and chopped Xin Ding in half.The four masters of Taihu Lake followed up, and the fish fork and simple knife danced to protect Li Kui tightly.

Over there, Liu Tang also killed two partial generals, and the three heroes of the Ruan family each held bitter bamboo spears and overturned more than ten people.

These ten tigers showed their power, and the soldiers under their command took the opportunity to gather together, forming a wall of shields, and they all held their shoulders firmly to prevent the western army from rushing in. Shoot all the way at the bridgehead.

Although he only has three or four hundred people, how wide can the suspension bridge be?Rushing to the front of the Western Army, I only feel that the guns are coming like a forest, and the arrows are falling like rain. Where can I stand?With a little retreat, the sword and shield hand took the opportunity to withdraw the shield, jumped up and swung the knife and chopped it, killing him so much that he turned his back. When the officers and soldiers rushed up behind him, he shrank back, and the shield wall was still like a mountain.

After repeating this several times, none of my family was damaged, and three or four hundred western troops were overthrown by life and death. Several generals saw that it was not the way to go, and hurriedly led the army back, intending to form a new formation and fight him again.

However, Li Kui and his group have been instructed by Cao Cao long ago, as long as they block the enemy, they are not allowed to fight for merit. Bing was dumbfounded.

Chao Zhong, the guard of the Qingchun gate, applauded again and again, but he never thought that Liangshan heroes are so good at fighting, that they would capture the leader of the army of ten thousand horses and return him alive.He couldn't help but beam with joy, and said repeatedly: "Good skill, good skill! The brother of 'Northern Heavenly King' really lives up to his reputation."

He also offered advice to Cao Cao: "How about my younger brother setting up a platform at the top of the city, and under the eyes of everyone, kill the captured officer alive, first to avenge the people in the city, and second, to destroy the prestige of his officers and soldiers."

Poor Xin Xingzong had just been carried up the city wall, and was hearing these words - when he first joined the army, he had listened to his father's teachings: If the earthen pot is not broken from the well mouth, the general will inevitably die before the battle.Therefore, he was more or less mentally prepared to die on the battlefield, but how could he have expected that there would be a fatal death?
For a moment, the bones were soft and the tendons were crisp, and beads of sweat and tears rolled down. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he opened his mouth, but there was no sound.

How do you feel?But it made his tongue stiff.

But he saw a short figure with his back turned to him, he laughed and said: "Brother Chao's plan is not bad. However, it is better to cut him alone than to kill him alone. How can he be valued if he is cut alone? Let's put it down." Shut it up, and wait until a few more generals are caught and cut into pieces neatly, wouldn't it be spectacular?"

Chao Zhong nodded again and again: "Brother Song is a good plan! It's best to catch Tong Guan too."

Cao Cao laughed, looked back and waved his hands. Shi Jin knew what he meant, and summoned a few powerful soldiers, tied Xin Xingzong with a rope, and escorted him down the tower.

Only then did Lao Cao turn around, looking at Xin Xingzong's trembling back, his eyes were complicated and flickering.

He fought the Qingchun gate easily, but the other four gates fought fiercely, each of them suffered a lot of damage.

Until the shadow of the sun moved westward, Tong Guan saw that he could not attack for a long time, and when he learned that Xin Xingzong had been defeated, he sighed, called for gold and withdrew his troops, and set up four camps around Hangzhou.

To the east are the Huanqing soldiers, and the defeated generals of the Xihe soldiers camped along the Qiantang River; to the west are the Yanyan soldiers outside the West Lake; After the camp was established, they still retreated to the old camp on the north side of the canal, and sent troops to guard the bridges on the river.

Not to mention that Tong Guan scolded the generals for their incompetence and slackness of officers and soldiers in the big tent of the Chinese army, nor did it say that Fang Tian decided to fight bloody battles for half a day. , I am afraid that they will catch a few more officials and generals, and order them to be chopped up together.

The cell was dirty and smelly, and Xin Xingzong was locked in a room alone, and he couldn't help but be lucky—it wasn't that he had qigong and could break the rope, but he had to brew courage and encourage himself to kill himself by biting his tongue, so as not to suffer piecemeal.

However, he bit his tongue several times without bleeding, so he hastily withdrew his strength, only then did he realize that there is a great fear between life and death, and it is easier said than done to die calmly.

Just as he continued to brew, he suddenly heard a deep voice from outside the cage: "You said that officials love Taoism, is this true or false?"

Xin Xingzong was startled at first, and turned his head to look, but saw a dim yellow light, reflecting a familiar face, but it was the fairy who summoned the general before the battle during the day, and flew to capture him alive!
He was stunned for a moment, and then belatedly remembered the other party's question, and suddenly burst into ecstasy, nodded again and again: "How dare the young general lie to the elder? In , he was conferred by the Taoist Academy, titled "the leader of the Taoist emperor", and placed at the th level of the Taoist rank. All people with Taoism are given the title of Mr., Shishi, etc., and their ranks are higher than that of a doctor to a general. The elders can know Lin Lingsu? This person is the leader of the Shenxiao sect, who can practice the five thunders method. The official gave him the title of Mr. Tongzhen Daling, and ordered all states and counties to build Shenxiao palaces, with great power..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Rui: "In this way, this Daoist Lin is already the leader, and Fan is not a member of his Shenxiao sect. If he goes to Beijing, won't he be suppressed by him?"

Xin Xingzong became more and more joyful, and hurriedly said: "Definitely not! From the young general's point of view, this is the fate of the immortal leader. Why is the immortal leader's way? But this leader Lin was too arrogant after gaining power and offended many people. Originally, relying on the trust of the official family was not a problem, but last year when the capital flooded, the official ordered him to go to the city to cast a spell to relieve the flood, but after several days of doing the ritual, it didn't work, so he asked the prince to worship four times, and the flood subsided that night, and the people in the capital They all admired the crown prince's virtue, but violated the taboo of the officials and dismissed him back to his hometown—there is a shortage of people like immortal elders around the official family.

Fan Rui looked happy when he heard this, and then hesitantly said: "But...Fan used to shed weeds in Mangdang Mountain in the past, but he was coerced by Liangshan, and the cottage was annexed by him. Chao Gai and Fang La are equally famous thieves. How can you enter the rank of the Son of Heaven?"

Xin Xingzong shook his head violently: "The man's luck is out of luck, and he lives in the grass for a while, what is this? Not to mention the immortal master, it is Chao Gai. If he has amazing supernatural powers and is willing to serve the official family, how can the official family not accept it? The immortal master was short thinking. This matter, as long as there is a competent minister recommending it, it will definitely be successful."

Fan Rui was a little anxious, and said in a low voice: "A hero in the Jianghu, Fan knows hundreds of thousands, ministers in the court, where can I make friends?"

Hearing this, Xin Xingzong was elated, coughed, put on an obligatory look, and said with emotion: "It's far away in the sky, and it's close in front of you! Immortal masters, don't underestimate the young general. The young general Xin Xingzong was born in the Western Army, and his father lived in the third rank , and Tong Shumi are close friends, Tong Shumi is a close minister of the emperor, and he regards the young general as his nephew, if the young general recommends it, he will be absolutely safe."

Fan Rui was happy in his heart, but his eyes stared at him coldly: "Could it be that you can coax Fan? You were murdered by me and became a prisoner, and you are willing to help me sincerely! Hehe, you are going to take this opportunity to harm Fan , can't I see?"

Xin Xingzong shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "Why does the immortal master underestimate me so much?"

Then he frowned and pretended to be heart-to-heart: "I don't know each other if I don't beat you. Although the young general has been tricked by the immortal master today, I sincerely admire him from the bottom of my heart. If the immortal master does not give up, I am willing to worship him as a brother! Wait for the immortal master to be in the government office." I have become a celebrity in front of my family, and if I take care of my younger brother with brotherhood, wouldn’t my younger brother also want to make a fortune? This matter is easy for you and me, if you don’t believe it, Xin will make an oath and you will listen.”

Struggling to get up on his knees, with a resolute expression on his face: "Xin swears by the lamp today that he will become true brothers with Fan Xianshi. If you are honored, you will be honored, and if you are hurt, you will be hurt together. If this heart is not sincere, call me, call me... "

He wanted to tell me to die under ten thousand arrows, but then he thought that this person harmed me with evil methods, how could he not avenge him?What's more, his wild way can't be seen by the officials. Xin is a man who sends troops and frees horses. If he fulfills his oath, he is not playing tricks...

For a moment, my thoughts turned, but I made a toothache oath: "Tell me to turn into a pig and sheep, and be boiled and steamed."

Fan Rui stared at him intently, as if he wanted to discern whether his sincerity was true or not. When he saw Xin Xingzong getting furious, he nodded his head, stretched his brows, and said with a smile: "Brother Xin is worthy of being a disciple of the general family. He really counts ten steps at a time—haha, and Not to mention the prosperity in the future, even now, you will be spared the disaster of being cut to pieces! Since the path is to follow Brother Xin's path, naturally we must first let Brother Xin go on his own."

Xin Xingzong nodded and smiled repeatedly: "Be careful, how can you hide it from Brother Fan's eyes?"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and said joyfully in their hearts at the same time: "Idiot, you've got me tricked!"

After laughing, Fan Rui spread out his left palm, made a tactic with his right hand, drew a lock-opening symbol in his palm, flicked the lock, and with a bang, the lock jumped open by itself, Fan Rui opened the door and entered, felt for a short knife, and cut the rope , put the knife into the opponent's palm: "Brother Xin is out of weapons, first use this knife to defend yourself!"

With the saber in hand, Xin Xingzong felt much more at ease, but he heard Fan Rui ramble and say something.

This is exactly: true love and fake tongues, smiling faces and dark hearts.Unlock it and let the vicious dog go, trying to lead the child to break the door.
