"Suspicious."
After a long time, Hou Junji murmured.
A chaotic army was not like this. How could they care about the military flag when retreating?
"Xin Wenli knows that forcefully attacking the city is not feasible, so the best way is to lure us out.”
Fang Xuanling continued.
If the army chased after them, they might be ambushed by Xin Wenli. It was not impossible to take down Wu Jiang County in one fell swoop.
Even the Jiangdong Army would be ambushed and suffer heavy losses.
In short, if they really went out of the city to pursue, then the initiative would be controlled by Xin Wenli.
This guy seemed to have lost his mind, but his thoughts were very clear.
When Hou Junji heard the military counselor's guess, he felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, his lord had not given the order to pursue.
"My lord, since they chose to lead our army out and launch a sneak attack on Wu Jiang County, we can also do the opposite.”
Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes.
"Could it be that Advisor Jun wants to attack from behind?”
Cao Yun revealed a knowing smile. Fang Xuanling had the same thought as him.
"Xin Wenli's plan is so perfect. He definitely didn't expect us to launch a sneak attack.”
Fang Xuanling nodded.
"Let Hou Junji lead the three thousand Jiangdong soldiers from the front to dispel Xin Wenli's suspicions. Then the chances of a successful counterattack will be close to one hundred percent.”
The corners of Cao Yun's mouth curled up slightly. He had proposed an even more perfect point in this plan.
"My lord is wise!"
Hou Junji and the others all shouted.
The plan was decided, and Cao Yun quickly gave the order.
Regardless of whether the new ceremony was real or fake, it did not affect the feasibility of this plan.
The military order was issued, and the army began to move at night.
When Hou Junji heard the order, he and Du Fuwei led the army to the location where Xin Wenli was stationed.
Cao Yun personally led 30 thousand elite troops, taking advantage of the dark night to take a detour behind Xin Wenli.
At this moment, Xin Wenli was anxiously waiting in the camp. Whether or not they could capture Wujiang County and rescue New Moon E depended on whether the Jiangdong Army would fall for it.
"Report, the Sui army is leading the army and heading straight for the barracks.”
A soldier hurriedly reported.
"Good!"
Xin Wenli was relieved when he heard this.
He put on his armor and assembled his army, ready to take action.
However, when he walked out of the tent with Tie Fangshuo in his hand and his armor on…
Flames soared into the sky behind him, and shouts and shouts rang out continuously.
"Oh no!"
Xin Wenli exclaimed.
Could it be that the Jiangdong Army saw through their plan and went against it to sneak attack the rear of the army?
The rear was attacked, and the army was in chaos. Xin Wenli was unable to organize a battle for the time being, and there were still Sui troops coming from the front.
Whoosh.
With an ear-piercing neigh, Xin Wenli saw a figure riding a Dark Stallion and holding an Overlord Halberd galloping over.
This person was Cao Yun. Wherever Cao Yun passed, the Sui army was no match for him. The Overlord Halberd was brandished.
Countless heads fell to the ground and blood splattered everywhere.
This heroic bearing was like a god of death in the world.
Since he could not change the situation, Xin Wenli decided to capture the leader first and took the initiative to kill Cao Yun.
If he could take down Cao Yun, this crisis would be resolved.
"Cao Yun, die! Return my sister to me!"
After making up his mind, Xin Wenli shouted loudly and charged forward with Tie Fangshuo in his hand.
Xin Wenli's martial arts were extraordinary, and he was ranked among the top among the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but how could he stop Cao Yun?
Although Cao Yun wasn't ranked among the heroes, his martial arts skills were comparable to Li Yuanba, who was ranked first, and he even surpassed him.
How could Xin Wenli be able to resist this?
Tie Fangshuo swept over with a cold light. Cao Yun also looked at Xin Wenli with a calm expression.
The Overlord Halberd slashed out, and a blood-red blade collided with Tie Fangshuo.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Xin Wenli felt a huge force coming from Tie Fangshuo.
His mount, the Golden Camel, let out a cry, and Xin Wenli almost fell off the camel's back.
With just one move, Xin Wenli knew that he was completely no match for Cao Yun.
Cao Yun had the upper hand. He waved the Overlord Halberd vigorously, and the blood-red light was dazzling.
Buzz.
The Overlord Halberd continued to cry as it swept across. Although Xin Wenli managed to dodge the fatal blow, he was still hit by the strong wind.
He immediately fell off his horse and landed on the ground.
Xin Wenli still wanted to stand up and fight, but the sharp tip of the Overlord Halberd was placed on his neck.
As long as he moved, the Overlord Halberd would be able to take his life.
Cao Yun had never thought of taking Xin Wenli's life. After all, Xin Wenli was a suitable general talent and had high martial strength.
This was precisely the time he needed talent. After all, Hou Junji and Du Fuwei weren't very strong.
Therefore, compared to killing Xin Wenli, it was more appropriate to call for surrender.
"The world is in chaos, and the aristocratic families are the foundation. Whether you want to harm the people or help me create peace and prosperity, decide for yourself.”
Cao Yun said coldly.
Xin Wenli fell into a long silence. He knew that Cao Yun wanted to recruit him.
The Great Sui Dynasty was about to collapse under the heavy burden. He understood this point very well. Moreover, Cao Yun's ambition was definitely not an ordinary person.
From how quickly he took down the five Huai River counties, one could see how strong Cao Yun was.
Xin Wenli was not a blindly loyal person and knew the sufferings of the people.
At this moment, Cao Yun was holding the Overlord Halberd high up in the air.
The emperor's aura was faintly discernible between his brows. In a trance, Xin Wenli even felt as if he was facing a sovereign god.
From the perspective of his ambition and the safety of the new moon moth, surrendering was his best choice.
"I am willing to accept the surrender."
Xin Wenli took a deep breath and said.
......
In Wujiang County.
The news that Xin Wenli had accepted the surrender quickly spread.
The captured New Moon Moth naturally received this news.
At this moment, she was imprisoned in a mansion. It was more accurate to say that she was under house arrest.
After all, there were quite a number of maids in the residence watching over them.
"Brother surrendered?"
New Moon Moe muttered to herself in surprise.
However, from her expression, she seemed to be secretly happy.
For a woman like Xin Yue Er, she loved the heroes of the world the most.
Dressed in scarlet armor and holding the Overlord Halberd, Cao Yun was riding on a dark horse. He was very powerful, and with his handsome face, it was easy for women to fall in love with him.
Cao Yun quickly took down five counties and threatened Jiangdu. He was also very kind to the people. All of this was the work of a hero.
All of these added together, wasn't that the hero in New Moon E's heart?
Moreover, during the battle at Wujiang County, the two of them had been in close contact, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Xin Yue Er recalled the scene of her slender waist being held by Cao Yun. Coupled with that handsome face, her face turned even redder.
Perhaps it was from that time that she had already secretly fallen in love with Cao Yun.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been secretly happy when she learned that Xin Wenli had surrendered.
