"Wenpin, you're still alive?"
Cai Mao's spirit was lifted. Upon closer inspection, that general was indeed Wenpin.
"Cao Lie is leading his army in pursuit. What are you waiting for, General Cai?" Wen Pin shouted."Let me into the city.”
"Second brother was captured and killed. I didn't expect him to be so lucky to come back alive?”
"Forget it, he has the talent to be a general. He can help me stabilize the morale of the army and protect Xinye City!”
Cai Mao rolled his eyes and immediately gave the order to open the city gates.
The north gate of Xinye opened with a bang.
Wen Pin's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted," The city gate is open! Charge in!"”
The disguised Cao Army suddenly took off their Jing State military armor and charged in.
Inside the city gate.
The Jing state army was stunned.
Before these defeated soldiers could react, they were chopped to the ground.
One thousand Cao Cao soldiers immediately held the city gate.
Wen Pin immediately raised his sword and shouted,"Light the fire!"”
The soldiers outside the city immediately lit up the smoke, and black smoke surged into the sky.
The signal was sent out.
The main force of Cao Cao's army, which was about a mile away, immediately sped up and rushed over.
On the city wall.
At this time, Cai Mao was riding his horse down the city, intending to personally welcome Wen Pin.
When he got down from the city, he saw a sudden change. The 1,000 defeated soldiers had turned into Cao Cao's army and seized the city gate.
Cai Mao turned pale with fright and shouted angrily,"Wenpin, are you crazy?!"”
"Cai Mao fool, I, Wen Pin, have surrendered to General Cao Zizhao.”
Wen Pin let out a furious roar and charged at Cai Mao with his saber.
"Surrender? This guy actually surrendered to Cao Lie?"
Cai Mao turned pale with fright and suddenly woke up.
He had fallen into a trap!
Wen Pin had already surrendered to the enemy, but he pretended to escape. It was obvious that he was trying to open the city gate.
"That Cao Lie, what method did he use to make this surnamed Wen betray the lord?”
Cai Mao found it unbelievable.
It was too late.
Wen Pin had already arrived in front of him. He raised his saber and swept it over with anger.
How could Cai Mao not know how strong his opponent's martial arts were? He did not dare to fight at all and immediately fled.
"Crack!"
Cai Mao's shoulder was slashed, and he fell off his horse while screaming.
"Tie him up and hand him over to General Pingnan!”
Wen Pin put away his knife and shouted.
The Cao army swarmed forward and controlled Cai Mao.
"Wenpin, the lord has treated you well. How dare you be ungrateful and betray the lord ~~"
Cai Mao endured the pain and cursed.
"Bah!"
Wen Pin's eyes were full of anger and resentment. He scolded," Liu Biao only knows how to favor and trust you, Cai and Kuai. A mediocre person like you can even suppress me and order me around. How can I not betray him?!"”
"Wenpin, you-"
Wen Pin raised his knife and slapped Cai Mao unconscious.
After that.
He raised his bloody saber and shouted," General Cao Lie is the God of War of the world. I, Wen Pin, have abandoned the darkness and joined the light. I have surrendered to General Cao. If you still resist, don't blame me for being merciless!"”
The Jing state army was stunned.
Seeing Cai Mao captured alive, no one dared to make a move.
Wen Pin had a lot of prestige, with his surrender, the remaining resistance of the Jing State Army immediately collapsed.
"We are willing to submit to General Cao!"
The Jingzhou army knelt on the ground, begging to surrender.
Xinye City surrendered without a fight.
At dawn, Cao Lie arrived at Xinye City.
"Wenpin really didn't break his promise. I'm ashamed to question General Pingnan's ability to judge people!”
Man Chong followed behind Cao Lie, his eyes filled with reverence as he laughed self-deprecatingly.
Cao Lie smiled and rode into the city.
In the main hall of the county government.
Cao Lie sat on the main seat.
"I didn't disappoint you and helped you take down Xinye!”
Wen Pin came forward and cupped his hands and replied generously.
"Good!"
Cao Lie waved his hand and smiled." I'll remember this great merit for you. I'll ask for it for you later."”
"Thank you, General."
Wen Pin thanked him for his kindness, and then ordered Cai Mao to be dragged here.
A moment later.
Cai Mao, who was covered in blood, was dragged into the main hall and thrown in front of Cao Lie.
Cai Mao endured the pain and got up from the ground. He faced Cao Lie with an unyielding stance.
"A defeated general, why don't you kneel when you see me!”
Cao Lie's face sank as he shouted.
"Kneel down?"
Cai Mao snorted disdainfully and said arrogantly," My Cai family is a prominent family in Jingxiang. My master, Liu Jingsheng, is a member of the Han royal family. I have never knelt before. You, a commoner thug, are not worthy of making me kneel!"”
As soon as he said that.
Wen Chou, Zhang Liao and other generals all looked angry.
"A distinguished family for generations, very noble!"
"How is your Cai Clan compared to the Sima Clan?”
"So what if it's compared to the Yuan family?"
Cao Lie sneered sarcastically.
Cai Mao's figure moved, and the arrogance in his heart was instantly silenced.
He thought of the slaughter of the Sima Clan and the murder of Yuan Xi.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that this Cao Family maniac in front of him was tyrannical and cruel. He didn't put the aristocratic families in his eyes at all.
"Cao Lie, the war between our two families started because of Zhang Xiu. My lord has no enmity with Cao Gong.”
"If you let me go, I'm willing to speak to my lord and persuade him to stop fighting and remain neutral.”
"However, the prerequisite is that you have to give up Xinye City. As for Wan City, it can belong to your Cao family.”
Cai Mao's arrogance and imposing manner faded, and he lowered his stance and began to discuss conditions with Cao Lie.
"You still want to negotiate with me? Naive!”
Cao Lie smiled contemptuously. His eyes suddenly lit up with a cold light as he shouted,"Men, drag Cai Mao out and cut him in half!”
Waist Slash!
These two words were like a bolt from the blue, almost knocking Cai Mao out.
"Cao Lie, are you crazy?!"
"My Cai Clan is the largest clan in the Jing State, and my sister is the wife of Prefecture Overseer Liu. If you dare to kill me, my master will definitely fight you to the death!”
"Cao Lie ~~"
Cai Mao was extremely shocked and furious as he roared hysterically.
"Noisy!"
Cao Lie was impatient. He waved his hand and shouted,"Cut off his tongue first, then drag him out and cut his waist.”
The white-robed personal guard stepped forward and raised his saber.
Cai Mao screamed as his tongue was cut off, blood spurting out of his mouth.
He could only groan and struggle with all his might, but he was mercilessly dragged out.
"Hang Cai Mao's head in the new city!”
"After today, I will make the people of the Jing state tremble in fear for my name!”
Cao Lie ordered again.
In the hall, all the generals were shocked by Cao Lie's ruthlessness and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
"He is really as decisive as the rumors say. If Liu Jingsheng had such means, why would he be at the mercy of the Cai and Kuai families?"
Wen Pin looked at Cao Lie and was secretly shocked.
At the top of Xinye City, the Cao General Flag was slowly rising.
The urgent messenger also rushed to Xiangyang with the news of Xinye's fall.
Two days later, at Xiangyang City.
In the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Liu Biao was drinking leisurely.
Although he tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, there was a hint of uneasiness between his brows.
"General Cai has already moved north from Xinye to Wan City. I believe that in a few days there will be good news.”
Kuai Yue saw through Liu Biao's thoughts and comforted him with a smile.
"Little brother is good at fighting, and he has led 50,000 troops to attack. Unless Cao Lie has three heads and six arms, how can he be a match for him? Darling, don't worry.”
Madam Cai also consoled. When she mentioned her younger brother Cai Mao, she naturally had a proud expression.
The worry in Liu Biao's eyes disappeared, and he laughed disapprovingly,""You're thinking too much. I've never been worried about the outcome of De Gui's battle. I'm only thinking about whether I should send troops to threaten Xudu and respond to Deacon Yuan after taking down Wan City.”
As he spoke, he raised his glass.
At this moment.
The guard rushed in and shouted in fear,"Reporting to my lord, Cao Lie ambushed our army and our entire army was wiped out. Xinye was also attacked by Cao Lie and General Cai was cut in half.”
Clang!
Liu Biao's hand trembled and the wine cup fell, splashing all over his body.
In the hall, everyone's expression froze for a moment.
It was deathly silent.
