Wang Baoyu hurriedly helped Liu Cong up, and said excitedly: "Cong'er, don't talk about this, it's good to come back, how can I blame you!" ”

"Cong'er is willing to serve her brother and will not change her life." Liu Cong said.

Wang Baoyu helped Liu Cong sit down, and then asked, "Cong'er, you look a lot thinner, why do you want to go to your brother?" ”

"Cao Pi's heart is far less than that of the prime minister, his biological brother is still difficult to protect, I have a close relationship with the prime minister, and sooner or later I will be held accountable by Cao Pi for no reason." Liu Cong didn't hide it.

Wang Baoyu nodded, as a person in the future, he couldn't understand Cao Pi's character any better, and it was also wise for Liu Cong to risk death to defect.

"Cong'er, you're right, Xiangyang was originally your former residence. When I leave, this place will be yours. Wang Baoyu promised.

Liu Cong was used to being cautious in Cao Ying, and when he heard this, he habitually explained urgently: "Cong'er was joking before the battle, and he had no such intention. Cong'er is loyal to her brother, and she can show the sun and the moon! ”

"Hehe, we're brothers, I can't trust you! Don't think about it, my brother's words must count. ”

"Cong'er thanked my brother!"

Liu Cong's eyes were moist and he knelt down again, grateful from the bottom of his heart, and went around in a circle, Xiangyang returned to his hands, if his father knew about it, he should also be blind.

Later, Wang Baoyu took Liu Cong together and came to Liu Biao's mansion, and the two brothers shared the same bed and chatted for a whole night.

Xu Chu didn't come to attack for a long time, obviously afraid of the Kuafu mirror, Wang Baoyu was leisurely for a few days, but another worry arose, he almost suffered the loss of Jia Xusheng earlier, maybe this time under the calm waves, it was still turbulent.

On this day, Wang Baoyu called Mo Qianxun, and Zhengse said: "Qianxun, Cao Jun has not taken action for a long time, but I am afraid that I have other plans." ”

"I'm also puzzled, or have they learned about the mystery of the Kuafu Mirror and are waiting for the obscure weather?" Mo Qianxun said tentatively.

Well, Wang Baoyu nodded, "It makes sense, I once had a deal with Xu Chu for a while, and I am an authentic person, but Jia Xu is different, he was between Cao's father and son at the beginning, and he has reached the status of Taiwei today, and he is definitely not an idle person." He hasn't moved at all for so long, he must be making small moves behind his back, no doubt about it! ”

"Ahh

After Wang Baoyu's reminder, Mo Qianxun's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Baoyu, based on the lessons of the past, I have probably guessed Jia Xu's motives. ”

"Oh? Hurry up! ”

"I'm afraid that it will postpone the attack on Xiangyang and intend to Yiling!"

Wang Baoyu chuckled in his heart, and felt that what Mo Qianxun said was very reasonable, there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yiling City, and if Xu Chu's army went to attack with all his might, it was still unknown whether he could hold it.

If Yiling is broken by Xu Chu, the loss of soldiers and horses is still secondary, and the relatives in the family will inevitably be affected, and Yiling is rich, most of them have to make wedding clothes for Cao Pi.

"Hmph, it's like that old fox." Wang Baoyu asked again: "Chihiro, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Together with General Fan, Baoyu led 20,000 soldiers and horses back to Yiling. Xiangyang is garrisoned by General Ma and I, and if Cao's army comes to attack Xiangyang, it can also launch an attack in the rear, so that they can't take care of each other. Mo Qianxun said.

"Yes, if they really attack Yiling, you can still go to support. Chihiro, there is Lao you here, I will immediately lead the army back to Yiling. Wang Baoyu said.

"You can return at night, don't let Cao Jun notice." Mo Qianxun admonished.

Finally hit the night, Wang Baoyu immediately and Fan Jinqiang, together with 20,000 troops, quietly out of the city from the south gate, all the way through Jingshan and Changbanpo and other places, starry night forward, non-stop, two days later finally returned to Yiling.

As before, Wang Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Xu Chu and his party had not yet arrived.

Things were the same as Wang Baoyu expected, Jia Xu was afraid of the power of the Kuafu mirror, and looked forward to rain every day, but every day was a sunny day, and he really moved the idea of attacking Yiling first.

Jia Xu believes that the Yiling at this time must be empty, as long as the Yiling can be quickly taken, even if he retreats, the huge wealth of the Yiling can be emptied, Wang Baoyu's strength will suffer a huge blow, and at the same time, he can also give Cao Pi an explanation.

On the morning of the second day after Wang Baoyu left Xiangyang, Jia Xu left only a few thousand soldiers and horses and some camp tents as a cover, and the army turned around and hurried in the direction of Yiling.

This situation was discovered by the prospecting horses sent by Xiangyang, and Mo Qianxun immediately sent an army and unceremoniously collected all the tents and soldiers left by the Cao army.

Wang Baoyu had just led the army back to Yiling, and before he could even drink a sip of tea, he heard Tanma hurriedly report that 100,000 Cao soldiers were about to arrive at the city of Yiling.

"Fortunately, I guessed Jia Xu's motive in advance, otherwise, the situation would be strict." Wang Baoyu was secretly frightened.

brought back 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus 10,000 in the original city, although there are now 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yiling, but it still can't compete with the 100,000 Cao army. Wang Baoyu sent an order not to go out of the city to fight with Cao's army, and to hold on for a few days.

Subsequently, Wang Baoyu came to the top of the city tower, only to see the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, the horses' hooves bursting, less than half an hour, Xu Chu's army came to the Yiling city wall, and quickly surrounded the entire city solidly.

The banner was unfurled, Xu Chu rode out of his horse, and shouted loudly: "The people in the city have heard clearly, I am Xu Chu is also, quickly open the city gate and surrender to avoid being destroyed by the army." ”

With a burst of laughter, Wang Baoyu appeared on the city tower, pointed down and shouted: "I am the king of Hanxing, the generals and soldiers invaded my royal land, and let us surrender, unreasonable!" ”

Xu Chu stared at the beads of his eyes for a long time, and finally became convinced that it was Wang Baoyu, and he was so shocked that he stammered: "Bao, Baoyu ......"

Jia Xu's face was even more pale, and he said: "Wang Baoyu, you are really witty, and you actually rushed back ahead of schedule!" ”

"If I don't come back, how can you have a chance to catch me! They are all old people, and they have to be cheeky when they do things, play tricks, and be careful of retribution! Wang Baoyu smiled disdainfully.

"You, you are so arrogant, if the old man doesn't catch you, he will not be a man." Jia Xu was stunned, gritted his teeth and swore an oath.

"Is that true?"

"The old man doesn't bother to talk to you!" Jia Xu was so angry that his old face was sallow, and he ordered: "Give me the siege of the city, and I will definitely let Yiling turn into powder." ”

"Taiwei, Yiling City is famous for its solidity, and Wang Baoyu has returned, if it is ......" Xu Chu hesitated.

"Siege of the city, if there is a loss, the old man will be responsible." Jia Xu's words landed soundly.

Xu Chu gave an order, and a pair of soldiers held shields and carried ladders towards the city, and several bridges were immediately built over the moat.
