Chapter 97 Entering Hanzhong City
"Come here, pull down and cut off the sacrificial flag to strengthen our army."

Seeing Cao Cao's reaction was beyond his expectations, Yan Pu was taken aback for a moment, but it was a matter of life and death, so he couldn't help being in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Does General Cao want to win Hanzhong?"

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature. Seeing what Yan Pu said, he became curious. He waved his hand and signaled the soldiers and guards to wait first.

"Hahahaha" Yan Pu burst out laughing

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

"I laugh that everyone knows that Cao Mengde is the confidant of Prime Minister Zhang Lan, but they don't know that he is a cowardly person. The city is offered in front of his eyes but he dare not accept it. It is ridiculous that Zhang Lan is a short-sighted person. Since he uses such a person Entrusted with a heavy responsibility, sad, lamentable"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Mrs. Cao glared at Yan Pu
At this time, Yan Pu's heart was undoubtedly desolate. He thought it was a good job, which could be used as capital for promotion and salary increase, but he didn't expect that he would take it here instead of donating it.

"No one is not afraid of life and death, but they will not end well when they are born into the cowardly generation. It is better to leave a good reputation, and if you want to kill, you will be killed."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and closed his eyes, looking like he was going to die generously.

Cao Cao is a person who doesn't like to play cards according to the routine. All the generals under his tent have already glared at Yan Pu, but Cao Cao suddenly laughed, and then walked to Yan Pu's side, since he untied Yan Pu.

"General Yan was frightened, he was just joking with the general just now"

Seeing Cao Cao acting like this, Yan Pu was at a loss. One moment he wanted to kill him, but the next moment he made amends. What was he going to do?

"What's the meaning of this?" Yan Pu couldn't help asking, there was still a faint trace of fear in his eyes.

"General Yan, Cao Cao, I was joking just now, don't take it seriously." Cao Cao said, and made a sincere face, making everyone want to shout 'no problem'

Yan Pu was seated on the table by Cao Cao, and he seemed to be still in shock.

"General Yan, how does General Zhang plan to dedicate the city?"

Xi Zhicai also recovered from the snickering, and said, "General Yan, Mr. Cao already knows your sincerity, and you should go back first to make preparations, and we will arrive later."

Cao Cao hurriedly said seriously, "How can this work, we must have a big banquet and treat General Yan well."

"Lord Cao, Liu Zhang is on his way to Hanzhong now, and there is a fear that something will change"

Cao Cao nodded solemnly, looked at Yan Pu again, and said with some embarrassment, "General Yan, I originally wanted to entertain you with a big banquet, but Liu Zhang's army is also on the way to Hanzhong, you see? "

Yan Pu was taken aback by Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's chorus, and nodded in a daze, "Ah, then I'll go back and tell my lord to come out of the city to meet General Cao."

Cao Cao got up and bowed to Yan Pu and said, "Then there will be General Lao Yan."

Yan Pu hurriedly returned the gift, and left Cao Ying in a daze.

Back in Hanzhong City, Yan Pu saw Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu quickly asked, "Zimao, what did Cao Mengde say?"

Yan Pu reacted slowly after hearing Zhang Lu's words, and said, "General Cao has already learned about the lord's intention to surrender, so he ordered me to come back and inform the lord first, so that the lord can get ready."

"It's so good, it's so good" Zhang Lu finally let go of the stone in his heart, and immediately ordered to tell the whole army to welcome Cao Cao's arrival.

Zhang Lu held the big seal and led the generals to wait at the gate of the city. After a while, a man and horse appeared. On the big banner was written the characters Xiahoudun, General Zhenbei. Xiahou Dun led the tiger and leopard riders to Hanzhong City first to find out the truth and prevent accidents.

"General Zhang, it's inconvenient to salute on horseback, so I still look at Haihan."

Zhang Lu smiled and said, "It should be, it should be, I wonder when General Cao will come?"

"Your Majesty Cao ordered me to lead the cavalry to come here first, in case Liu Zhang arrives first in case something unexpected happens. I will lead the army behind and arrive in a short while. General Zhang does not have to worry."

Xiahou Dun cupped his hands and led the tiger and leopard riders into the city.

Yang Ren, one of Zhang Lu's subordinates, showed an angry look on his face, and cried out in pain, "Cao Cao is bullying too much."

"Hey..." Zhang Lu felt a little regretful at this time, but he had no choice but to hold back the unhappiness in his heart and wait for Cao Cao's arrival.

And Cao Cao didn't let them wait for about 10 minutes, Cao Cao's army appeared in front of everyone, and Zhang Lu immediately led them to meet them.

"Zhang Lute in Hanzhong led a group of civil and military officials to surrender to Lord Cao"

Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately got off his horse and walked forward to help Zhang Lu up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a flash of cold light, and Yang Ren, the general who had just shown an angry expression, drew his sword.

"Cao Cao's Death"

Facing the sudden attack, Cao Cao suddenly turned pale with fright, shouted in his heart, 'My life is over', and slowly closed his eyes.

I only heard Xia Houyuan's voice from behind, "Don't hurt my brother, thief"

Only then did Cao Cao open his eyes, only to see a big knife falling down, cutting Yang Ren in half, and spraying blood on Cao Cao, Zhang Lu and the surrounding people.

It turned out that Xia Houyuan had already noticed that something was wrong with Yang Ren's expression. In order to prevent Cao Cao from making mistakes, he followed Cao Cao closely. Just when Yang Ren drew out his sword, Xia Houyuan had already swung the big sword in his hand, taking advantage of the longer sword, and beheaded Yang Ren with one blow.

At this time, Zhang Lu's face had become pale, and he knelt down in panic, and explained to Cao Cao, "General Cao, I don't know that Yang Ren has such a heart, and I hope General Cao will find out."

Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero of a generation. He has recovered from his panic in a short period of time. He took a deep breath and sighed, "I know this matter has nothing to do with you. General Zhang doesn't need to worry about it."

He helped Zhang Lu up again, Zhang Lu also pretended to be grateful, and followed Cao Cao into the city.

Liu Zhang also had his own spies, he saw the scene in front of him clearly, and immediately reported back to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was furious when he heard this, "Cao Cao dares to do this"

A man dressed as a counselor on the side said, "General, Cao Cao has already recovered Hanzhong. We have no hope of moving forward. It is better to choose someone who can speak eloquently and send him to meet Cao Cao in Hanzhong City to seek compensation to supplement our army." Losses consumed in the

"What Xiaozhi said is very true, who will be sent there?" That's right, it was Fazhengfa Xiaozhi who offered advice to Liu Zhang.

Hearing Liu Zhang's question, Fazheng said, "Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao are the best, but if they haven't arrived, it's better to send his brothers Zhang Su and Zhang Junjiao there."

Liu Zhang responded when he heard the words, and immediately sent someone to tell Zhang Su to come to the front army.
