"Surrender? Or trade?"

Zhuge Tian was slightly stunned.

"That's right, you just want to attack Wuyin. I will give Wuyin City to you!"

"Just to exchange for that clue?" Zhuge Tian stared at Cao Hong.

"Just to exchange for that clue!" Cao Hong nodded.

Yuan Shao and Lu Bu were now very powerful, and Cao Cao did not have much energy to stay in the south in order to fight against them.

Liu Biao was a king who maintained the status quo, so it was no big deal for him to return the several places in Nanyang County that were occupied by them.

Since Dian Wei's death in the Battle of Wancheng, or even earlier, this poisonous snake has been lurking by Cao Cao's side.

Cao Hong must find the other party.

Compared with the mastermind behind the scenes, the gains and losses of a small and insignificant town like Wuyin are really not worth mentioning.

"Okay!" Zhuge Tian nodded. "But your ransom and that spy..."

"I'll give you the whole city!" Cao Hong glared at Zhuge Tian.

"That……"

Zhuge Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up.

Forget it, just consider it a good deed.

Anyway, they were going to withdraw, so they couldn't take all the baggage trains with them.

It's reasonable to take some of the stuff inside as your own hard work fee, right?

Li Dian was now the commander-in-chief of Wuyin City. Cao Hong took the token from his arms and said with a complicated expression, "I will organize our troops to evacuate immediately. You should also ask your men to temporarily suspend the attack on Wuyin City."

"Open the city gate first and let our people enter the city!"

"..."

"it is good!"

Cao Hong had been fighting for many years, but this was the first time he surrendered directly.

But he felt this was the best approach right now.

He called one of his deputy generals and asked him to take the token to order the troops to withdraw and open the city gates.

Although the deputy general was confused, he still did as he was told.

Zhuge Tian said to Cao Hong, "Come with us to the city gate to pick them up."

"You are really cautious." Cao Hong looked at Zhuge Tian. He didn't expect that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he could do things so meticulously.

Even though he saw his deputy general go to deliver the message, he was still worried.

But he really didn't intend to get entangled with Wuyin, Zhuge Tian and the others anymore.

The deputy general went to order the troops to assemble, so at least they didn't have to worry about a surprise attack from the enemy.

Several people went to the city wall, and were about to close the city gate because it was getting dark, but Cao Hong stopped them.

Then Zhuge Tian and Zhao Yun brought Cao Hong to the city gate and asked Zhao Yun to take a flag and wave it in the air.

Soon, Gan Ning, Xu Zhu and his men skied down from the valley outside the city.

"What's going on here?"

Just now, when they saw Zhao Yun waving a flag through the telescope, with Zhuge Tian and Cao Hong standing next to him, they knew that something had changed.

"General Cao intends to surrender." Zhuge Tian said with a smile.

"Bullshit!" Cao Hong glared at him, looked at the skis that Gan Ning and the others had skied down, and suddenly realized.

It turns out that this is how Zhuge Tian’s people came about.

This thin board may require a little more effort to walk on flat ground or uphill.

But coming down the slope was easy and fast.

Those who are not good at sliding sit on it and go down the slope.

"The defense of the west city wall is in your hands. We will remain in the east city tonight and withdraw tomorrow morning!"

"Okay." Zhuge Tian also knew that it was impossible for them to evacuate overnight in such weather.

Anyway, we all entered the city.

With the fighting power in the city, they will definitely not be afraid of Cao's army.

Not to mention anything else, if the enemy wants to fight a street battle on such a cold night, their cold-resistant equipment can make their combat effectiveness 30% higher than that of the enemy.

Huang Zhong, looking confused, began to order people to arrange the defense of West City.

What’s going on? Didn’t we agree to launch a surprise attack at night?

Why did you go straight into the city?

Cao Jun also said that they would withdraw tomorrow morning. This is...

Did I get a free reward?

The greatest military achievements in ancient times were "being the first to climb the mountain, breaking through the enemy lines, beheading the generals, and capturing the flags."

The first to climb the city wall means to attack it first.

Because it is well known that siege battles are difficult.

Especially since their army is only one-third of the enemy's.

It's basically an impossible task.

Even if the night attack could be successful, Huang Zhong was prepared to lose thousands of people.

As a result, we have won it without any effort!

"We'll talk about this later. I'll send General Cao back first, and then bring Yuan Jian and the others back."

He took Gan Ning and Xu Chu back to Cao's camp.

At this time, the entire Cao camp was in chaos.

After all, the order to evacuate tomorrow was suddenly given, and many soldiers were confused.

With Cao Hong following them, no one came to stop them. They directly called Liao Hua and Xu Shu out from the baggage camp.

"Damn, you're finally here!" Liao Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Since just now, Cao's army has been constantly entering the baggage camp to move things."

"Luckily, the place where we hid was where the horse feed was stored. They must have fed the horses today, so no one came in."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Cao soldiers with torches surrounded him.

The leaders were Li Dian and Le Jin.

Seeing Cao Hong standing with Zhuge Tian and the others, he angrily asked, "Zi Lian, what are you doing?"

The two woke up from Cao Hong's room and found that the token was missing. The entire army had also issued an order to evacuate. The two thought they were dreaming.

After confirming that it was true, the two hurried to find Cao Hong to find out the truth.

I didn't expect to see Cao Hong, Zhuge Tian and others together.

"Mancheng, I have a secret order from the lord!" Cao Hong said.

"secret order?"

Li Dian hesitated for a moment and told his men to put away their weapons. "What's the secret order? Withdraw from Wuyin City?"

He is a general of Wuyin. Withdrawing from Wuyin City is of great significance, so he naturally has to be cautious.

"It has nothing to do with Wuyin City." There are so many people here, so Cao Hong naturally couldn't say so loudly that he was looking for spies.

He asked Li Dian to come closer and told him what happened in a low voice.

"If there is any punishment from the lord, I, Cao Zilian, will bear it all."

Li Dian's face was gloomy and uncertain.

It was somewhat unusual for a legion commander like Cao Hong to be assigned to manage baggage.

At first I thought Cao Cao was angry, but I didn't expect there was another reason.

After hesitating for a moment, he waved away the other ordinary soldiers.

Only he and a few dozen of Le Jin's personal soldiers were left.

"Wen Qian, bring the man out quietly and send someone you trust to Xudu overnight to deliver him to Cao Gong."

"General Cao, the rest is up to you. We'll be leaving first."

Zhuge Tian bowed and prepared to leave.

Cao Hong hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Unexpectedly, Li Dian and Le Jin waved their hands and ordered their personal soldiers to surround Zhuge Tian and his companions.

"You..." Cao Hong was stunned.

Li Dian said:

"Zhuge Hanxing, since you can use Zilian as a threat, I wonder if you can use a few of your men to force Huang Hansheng to withdraw his troops."

Zhuge Tian narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, you are planning to default on your debt?"
