A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 34 The Death of Cao Ang
After recapturing Jingzhou, the army did not stay here much, but went all the way north to Xinye.

Perhaps it was because of Cao Cao's lack of troops that he had no spare energy to take care of this remote town that had not yet been completed.

In Xinye City, Chen Deng is still stationed here, responsible for supervising the construction of facilities in the city.

When the army entered the city, Chen Deng went out of the city to meet him personally, and Yi Ji, an old official from Jingzhou, was also among the officials.

The next day, when the army set out to go to Xiangyang, Yi Ji came to the barracks to meet Du Huo.

"Uncle Liu, but now Xiangyang and all counties in Jingzhou are occupied by Cao Cao, and the people of Jingzhou are in dire straits. Although I have little knowledge, I would like to help Uncle Huang save the people of Jingzhou from the fire and water. I implore Uncle Liu Huang to agree! "In the big tent of the military camp, Yi Ji held a letterhead and introduced himself to Du Huo Mao with a solemn face.

"Sir, do you really want to follow us to fight in the battlefield?" Du Huo hesitated a little, although he was pretending, but it was quite real.

"Uncle Liu Huang doesn't have to doubt it, I have thought it over before, and now I have made this decision, it's not impulsive, so I implore Uncle Liu Huang to take it in!"

Yi Ji thought that Du Huo was doubting his determination, so he specially explained this topic.

But in fact, Du Huo didn't have such an idea at all, his question just now was just to confirm this matter.

After all, in the following plot, the existence of Yi Ji will directly determine the direction of the plot, so Du Huo must have an absolute affirmation on this matter.

But right now, since Yiji has already made a promise, there is naturally no need for Yiji to join the team, and there is no need to delay too much.

Therefore, Du Huo let Yiji move into the barracks that day, and from now on, all the logistics work of the army will be managed by Yiji, and no one can overstep.

……

The army left Xinye City in the south, passed through Bowang Slope, and went straight into Xiangyang City.

Due to the fact that Du Huo's army possessed military talismans, Du Huo's army actually directly crossed the city defenses and broke into Xiangyang City swaggeringly.

But when Xiangyang defender Xia Houdun realized this, it was already too late.

Without the assistance of the city defense, the battle between the two sides will no longer be fair.At this time, in Xiangyang City, there was only one guard, Xiahoudun.

Even though Xia Houdun has unstoppable courage, he still cannot save the current defeat.

After a fierce battle, Xia Houdun finally abandoned the city and fled south, defeating Luoyang.

A few days later, at the southwestern ferry of Xiangyang City, the ships were fully assembled, and Du Huo's army boarded the boats to cross the river and attacked Yiling in the south.

In the early morning of the next day, after the army landed, Du Haute ordered his soldiers to advance quickly without delaying too much on the way.

Since Xiangyang had just fallen, the news of Xiangyang's fall would not reach here in such a short period of time.

In addition, Du Huo had Cao Cao's soldier talisman in his hand, so when the army arrived in Yiling, the scene that was staged in Xiangyang was reproduced in Yiling city.

Yiling and Xiangyang face each other, and it is also a city that Cao Cao attaches great importance to.

Therefore, he specially ordered his eldest son Cao Ang and Niu Jin to stay here to ensure the safety of Yiling.

However, it was precisely because Cao Ang was here that when Du Huo entered the city holding Cao Cao's military talisman, Cao Ang did not have the slightest suspicion.

It wasn't until Du Huo opened the city gate in the middle of the night and led the army into the city that he realized that all of this was actually Du Huo's lie.

However, at this time, all of Yiling City had already fallen into Du Huo's hands.The guard Niu Jin was beheaded, and all the soldiers under his command were killed or injured.

In the hall of Yiling Mansion, Cao Ang sat alone at the head of the hall, and the sound of fighting in his ears gradually became less and less until it disappeared.

At this time, the Yiling Mansion Palace was already surrounded by Du Huo's army layer by layer, and Cao Ang had nowhere to escape.

Outside the gate of the mansion, after Du Huo and Zhuge Liang discussed briefly, Du Huo entered the mansion alone, intending to persuade Cao Ang to surrender.

……

In the hall of Yiling Mansion, Du Huo and Cao Ang stood facing each other, and the atmosphere was quite strange.

"You are the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande..." Cao Ang's lips were chapped and white, and even his words were weak.

"Exactly!" Du Huo held his saber in his hand, always on guard against Cao Ang's actions.

Cao Ang smiled self-deprecatingly: "My father was defeated by you, and now I am also defeated by you. Could it be that you, Liu Bei, are the nemesis of my Cao family?"

"If you do many injustices, you will kill yourself. It is not me, Liu Bei, who defeats you, but the hearts of the people in the world!"

"Hehe... Everyone in the world says what the world wants, what the people want, but in my opinion, what the people want is nothing more than glory, wealth, fame and fortune! Now that I have been defeated by you, the people will definitely I obey you, but if I win you in the future, then the common people will naturally obey me. Victory or defeat is determined by the general's ability, what other reasons come from it!"

Cao Ang had a smile on his face, but he had already drawn the sword in his hand.

Du Huo was terrified when he saw it, he was afraid that Cao Ang would rush towards him holding the sword.

"You don't have to worry. Now that the defeat is certain, I don't want to make that pointless struggle anymore!" Cao Ang seemed to see through Du Huo's mind. He slowly put the sword on his shoulder and tightened the blade tightly. sticking to his neck.

"Cao Ang, don't tell me you want to die?" Cao Ang put on a posture of slaying himself with a sword, which made Du Huo a little hard to understand.

"A man can be killed but not humiliated. My father ordered me to garrison Yiling. Now that Yiling is lost, how can I have the face to go back to Luoyang to meet my father!" Cao Ang frowned, with a wry smile on his lips.

"Xiahoudun lost Xiangyang! Didn't he still abandon the city and fled back to Luoyang!"

"General Xiahou just lost a city and lost a battle, but what I lost was my father's face, what a shame..."

"Dang!"

Du Huo originally wanted to use Xia Houdun's example to dissuade Cao Ang from turning back.Unexpectedly, this just fueled Cao Ang's determination to seek death.

As a result, Cao Ang sent himself directly to Huangquan Road when he made up his mind.

……

Outside the hall of Yiling Mansion, the door slowly opened, Du Huo frowned tightly, and walked out from the hall.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurried forward and asked.

"Didn't keep him!"

With a sad face, Du Huo handed a sword stained with Cao Ang's blood to Zhuge Liang.

At this time, there was actually a trace of blood slipping off the sword, as if it would never dry up.

"Hey, there is no way around it! After all, he is Cao Cao's son, so he wants to be different from ordinary people!"

Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, not sure if he was talking to Du Huo.
