"Woooooo

The sound of gold resounded through the heavens and the earth, and Hao Zhao looked at Cao Jun who was slowly retreating, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"In the past two days, the intensity of Cao's siege has been significantly reduced, and it seems that it is not difficult to support the construction of the third city wall."

Hao Zhao shook his head and said to the adjutant general beside him: "Cao's army has retreated, you first guard on the city wall, and I will urge the soldiers to build a third line of defense." ”

The adjutant general nodded, and after seeing Hao Zhao leave, he threw himself into the Cao army camp, with a faint melancholy in his eyes.

"Cao Cao didn't trust me very much, and detained Alin in the camp."

Alin is the deputy general's cronies, the two are like brothers, and the feelings that have accumulated over time are extremely strong.

The remnant sun is like blood, the autumn wind is bleak, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

The autumn wind rolled up the lieutenant's blood-red robe, making a 'flutter' sound in the air.

After Cao's army completely retreated, Xun You said to Cao Cao: "The lord has asked the soldiers to slow down the siege of the city in the past two days, do you pin your hopes on the surrender of the adjutant general in the city?" ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "I have heard of the disagreement between Hao Zhao and the deputy general of Jiguan. ”

"Hao Zhao beat his military stick and seized his military power, it is reasonable for this person to be dissatisfied and want to surrender, but Gongda suspects that this is a fraudulent surrender plan?"

Xun You thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "The person detained by the lord, You also talked to him, and he didn't see the slightest flaw at all. ”

"Although this man came to report to the Lord for some reason, he did not want to surrender to the Lord, so his words were quite disrespectful."

It is precisely because of this that you find this person's words very credible. If the enemy general had surrendered by fraud, he would not have revealed such an obvious flaw. ”

Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this: "Gongda's words coincide with me." ”

Cao Cao was extremely suspicious, if it weren't for Alin's reluctant look, he wouldn't necessarily believe in the deputy general of Jiguan and really wanted to surrender.

Some time ago, Cao Jun stormed the city, and Cao Jun paid an extremely tragic price, for which Cao Cao was distressed.

Now that there is a shortcut to break through the Kei Pass, there is no need for him to let his corporal go to his death in vain.

Fortunately, Cao Cao himself was full of wisdom and knew the truth of overreach, so he did not stop the siege of the city by Cao Jun all of a sudden, and waited for the inside and outside to seize the city.

If this is the case, Hao Zhao will inevitably not be vigilant when he sees Cao Jun's strange behavior, which is likely to lead to the failure of the deputy general to sacrifice the city.

Cao Cao chatted with Xun You for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Hao Zhao is impeccable in defending the city, if he can persuade this person to surrender if he breaks through Jiguan, it would be great." ”

No matter what the history books say about Cao Cao, his desire for talent is almost fanatical, otherwise he would not be able to write a poem like "Tanka Xing".

Tens of thousands of Cao troops were blocked outside the city by Hao Zhao, and every time they attacked the city, they suffered heavy casualties, but Cao Cao not only did not hold a grudge against Hao Zhao, but admired him.

Xun You heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately said to Cao Cao: "If the lord has the heart of love for talents, he will order him to go down on the day of the city and capture Hao Zhao alive." ”

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, and his heart became more and more eager to arrive early that day.

……

In the castle of Keiguan, a curved city wall rises from the ground, and although there is no way to compare it with the original city wall of Keiguan, it is also built very strongly.

Hao Zhao stood on the construction site, constantly directing the soldiers to build various defensive equipment.

Looking at the defense line that had been perfected, Hao Zhao often breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought: "It seems that we can hold it for a while." ”

In the past two days, Cao's attack was not as fierce as before, and Hao Zhao not only urged his soldiers to build a new defensive line, but also did his best to repair the existing dilapidated defensive line.

Time passed, Cao Cao did not wait for the surrender of the deputy general of Jiguan, and couldn't help but be furious.

He called Alin and shouted: "Three days have passed, why hasn't your general intended to sacrifice the city?" ”

Ah Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately said with a big change in his face: "Could it be that the general's intention to surrender has been leaked?" ”

Although he didn't want Jiguan to be occupied by Cao Jun, and he didn't want to see his brother have an accident, so after hearing Cao Cao's words, he couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.

Cao Cao saw that Alin didn't seem to be fake, his brows couldn't help frowning, and said, "Your general is fine, you can see him on the city wall every day." ”

When Alin heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xun You suddenly asked at this time: "How is your general?" ”

Alin replied: "My general is kind-hearted and righteous, so he is naturally a great hero. ”

Xu Chu sneered: "A person who wants to sell his master for glory, a remnant of the Yellow Turban, what qualifications do you have to be called a big hero?" ”

Ah Lin wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only stare at Xu Chu angrily.

Xun You waved his hand, stopped Xu Chu, who was about to take advantage of the victory, and continued to ask: "Are you sure that your general, is he really ready to open the city and surrender?" ”

At this time, Alin's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility.

Although Deputy General Jiguan has some contradictions with Hao Zhao, he is not the kind of person who ignores the overall situation, and he is a veteran of the Yellow Turban, how could he easily betray Chen Xu?

But if he didn't really surrender, why did he send Arin to report it?

"Could it be that my brother didn't plan to surrender in the first place, and letting me go out of the city to report the news was just a delaying tactic?"

Before this, Alin had never thought that his brother would betray his lord for glory, so when the deputy general of Keiguan went out of the city to report the news, he felt shocked.

The more Alin thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, and his face couldn't help but slowly show joy.

If his brother is really not ready to surrender, then what he has done is not a traitor seeking glory.

Even if he died here, Alin also felt open in his heart.

But suddenly, Alin also felt a colic in his heart, and he couldn't understand why his brother, who regarded him as a sibling, should deceive him.

Even if he made it clear from the beginning, saying that he was sent to deceive him this time, and his life might be in danger, Alin would not hesitate for a moment.

Cao Cao, Xun You and the others looked at Ah Lin, whose face was constantly changing, and couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

They are all wise and scheming, and they can guess a lot of things from Alin's face alone.

This time, it was as if they had been tricked.

……

In Jiguan City, Hao Zhao looked at the third line of defense that had finally been built, and his face couldn't help but show joy.

Some time ago, Cao's army stormed the city, and the entire Keiguan was in danger, and the city could be destroyed if he was not careful.

When the third line of defense was built, Hao Zhao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the danger of Keiguan has not yet been completely lifted, at least it can be supported for a while longer, and maybe reinforcements will come soon.

Hao Zhao tidied up the armor on his body, walked to the city wall with a long sword, and saw the deputy general with a worried face.

He was about to step forward, when he suddenly saw a commotion under the city, and saw a man covered in blood, dragged into the battlefield by Cao's army.

On the chariot, Cao Cao's face was a little pale, and his eyes were not kind to the deputy general of Jiguan.

"Arin!"

When Vice Admiral Keiguan saw the bloodied figure, he couldn't help but scream.

When Cao Cao learned that he had been deceived, he was immediately furious and had Alin beaten half to death, and then brought him into battle.

Hearing the familiar voice, Alin raised his head with some difficulty, his eyes were relieved, but also doubtful and sad.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

When the deputy general of Jiguan saw Ah Lin's tragic situation, he hated to go out of the city, but reason made him stay motionless on the city wall.

It's just that his tears can't be stopped no matter what.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

It is definitely an extremely painful thing to push your brother to the end of the road with your own hands.

But he also knew that Cao Cao was not very human, and if he informed Ah Lin of the deception in advance, Cao Cao would definitely see the flaws.

Therefore, he pretended to sincerely want to surrender to Cao Cao, and asked his brother to report the news.

Although Alin was very reluctant, he also completed the task truly and perfectly, and bought a few days for Jiguan.

It was also in just a few days that Hao Zhao was able to completely build the third line of defense.

Vice Admiral Keiguan clenched his fists, his nails pierced into his palms, and a burst of red blood flowed out.

Although Alin's vision was a little blurry, when he saw his brother's tearful face, he suddenly laughed.

He spat out a mouthful of blood foam, raised his strength and shouted, "Brother doesn't need to say much, I understand." ”

His voice was not loud, but Vice Admiral Keiguan had already heard it, but when he heard Ah Lin's words, he was not relieved, but felt more and more painful.

Hao Zhao couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this situation, stepped forward and patted the deputy general on the shoulder gently, but he couldn't say a word.

Hao Zhao is not the kind of person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and the relationship with his colleagues is very harmonious.

The deputy general has followed Chen Xu for so many years, and he is also an iron-clad man, how could he surrender to Cao Cao because of a trivial matter?

Although the two do not agree on the surface, their relationship in private is also very harmonious, even when Hao Zhao beat the deputy general stick at that time, he was merciful.

They played a bitter trick in advance, and they had long thought about preparing for a rainy day, and now they really used it.

If there was no scene of Hao Zhao beating the deputy general, Cao Cao might not have been able to fall into the scheme.

In other words, although Cao Cao and his strategists recognized Hao Zhao's ability to defend the city, they did not think that Hao Zhao was very strategic.

In fact, it was precisely because of contempt and information asymmetry that Cao Cao fell for Hao Zhao's carving skills.

Although this kind of carving insect skill only delayed for two or three days, it also made Cao Cao a little annoyed and angry.

Cao Cao's face sank like water in Chariot Mountain, and he shouted at Cao Jun beside Ah Lin: "Kill!" ”

"Poof!"

As Cao Cao's order was issued, those Cao Jun, who dragged Alin like a dead dog, stabbed the long swords in their hands into Ali's body.

They didn't penetrate the vital point, but Alin, who was already very weak, fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and severe pain.

"No!"

On the city wall, when the deputy general of Jiguan saw this situation, he let out a cry of life and death. But no matter how much he screamed, he couldn't save Arin's life.

Seeing Alin unconscious, Cao Jun mercilessly drew his sword and stabbed Alin's body again.

It didn't take long for Arin's body to be riddled with holes and out of shape.

"Ahhh

Deputy General Keiguan's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched tightly, and he roared loudly on the city wall, and blood actually overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

At this time, it was difficult for Hao Zhao to continue to remain calm.

He drew the sword at his waist and shouted: "The thief Cao invaded my city for no reason, killed my people, and abused my soldiers, and his crimes are extremely evil, and he is the enemy of life and death for us." ”

"Although we have few soldiers, although the strength of each of us is like a drop of water, the weak are insignificant."

"But when we come together, we can become an ocean, capable of unleashing a tsunami of wrath that engulfs all enemies!"

"The brutality of the enemy cannot make us fearful, but can only fill our hearts with hatred, and we must vent this hatred with our own lives."

"Alin died for Keiguan, an example for all of us, there are only soldiers who died in battle in Guanzhong, and there are no cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Kill!"

Hearing Hao Zhao's roar, the soldiers, who were still a little frightened and exhausted, suddenly burst out with a sky-high killing intent.

They are indomitable warriors, and it is the greatest honor to die on the battlefield, and no enemy can frighten them.

"Kill!"

The defenders of the city shouted in unison, and even the newly recruited young men were infected by this frenzied atmosphere, leaving their fears behind,

There were not many people in the city, but their voices pierced the sky and shook the heavens and the earth.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, the reason why he tortured and killed Ah Lin was not that Cao Cao was really narrow-minded, in order to take revenge.

He did this to a greater extent for the sake of deterrence, to stir up fear in the defenders of the city.

However, he didn't expect that the torture and killing of Alin would arouse the morale of the defenders in the city under Hao Zhao's control.

The trick did not succeed, and Cao Cao did not feel discouraged, after all, fighting still depends on strength.

"Since you want to delay time, I will do the opposite, no matter how high the morale of the Keiguan garrison is, they are just a group of tired divisions after all."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao shouted: "Beat the drums, attack the city!" ”

"Kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing resounded throughout the world, and the tragic battle began again, and under the fierce attack of the Cao army, the casualties of the Guanzhong army began to become extremely heavy.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The second line of defense was actually broken, and under the impact of Cao's fierce death, it had begun to crumble.

As more and more Cao troops climbed the city walls, Hao Zhao finally gave the order to retreat, completely abandoning the second line of defense.

Cao Cao had already let go of his luck mentality, and the Cao army's siege of the city was even more frantic than before, attacking the city day and night for several days in a row, even Hao Zhao felt that he was about to collapse.

"When will reinforcements arrive?"

Just when Hao Zhao was about to see through it, the west suddenly became dusty, and a big banner with the word 'high' fluttered in the wind.

"General Gao Shun, it's General Gao Shun's trapped!"

Shocking cheers erupted in the city, and they had been holding on to the gate for nearly a month, and the reinforcements finally arrived.

(Again, it will be reverted to a 4,000-word chapter in the future, and the standard will be canceled for a single chapter, and every double and two chapters.) ）
