Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 525 The Final Plan
"Oh my god."

"What happened in the pass?"

"Why are they all here?"

Xing Daorong knew that people would come to surrender at Hangu Pass every night, so he specially arranged for people to take turns to guard the pass and receive the surrendered soldiers.

Just today...

Seeing the thousands of people in front of him, the soldier on duty felt that he could not cope with it.

I couldn't help but ask in surprise.

The soldiers nearby said, "There are so many of us. Let's report to the general immediately and let him make his arrangements."

"You take care of it here first. I will go and report to the general."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away without even waiting for the people around him to react.

The people around him just cursed: "Damn it, this guy is so quick to react."

“How can I manage so many people?”

"Never mind! Just tell these people to wait outside the camp first!"

"Anyway, there can't be any trouble!"

Thinking of this, the soldier ordered those who had come to the camp to line up and not to rush into the camp.

...

However, it is General Zhou Tai who is on duty today to receive the surrendered soldiers.

When he heard the soldiers report that thousands of people from Hangu Pass were surrendering, he immediately realized that there was something fishy going on.

It’s not that Zhou Tai is smart, but Xing Daorong had already told everyone about the plan a few days ago.

"If Cao Xiu wants to solve the current problem, he has to defeat us."

"But we are all brave and good at fighting. Even if we give him another 20,000 soldiers, we will not be able to repel the enemy."

"Right now, we have lost our food and military morale. If we want to win the battle of Hangu Pass, we can only take the enemy by surprise and catch them off guard."

"Just right! The deserters from the interior will give him a chance."

"They will definitely hide among the deserters and sneak into our camp, so that they can attack our camp from the inside and outside!"

"And in order to avoid being discovered, there will be a lot more surrendered soldiers on the night of his arrival!"

...

Look, the current situation is exactly the same as what the general said!

Suddenly there are so many more people, there must be Cao Xiu among them!
Zhou Tai said: "Go and tell the general quickly that someone is coming!"

"The general will know what I mean as soon as he hears it. As for those deserters, I will deal with them personally."

After hearing this, the soldier was immediately determined.

Thinking that he could report to Xing Daorong in person, he felt even happier.

Given Xing Daorong's current reputation in the military camp, one would feel honored just to meet him in person.

He immediately shouted: "General, don't worry, I will report this to the general right away."

After saying that, he walked away happily, looking very happy.

...

But when Zhou Tai arrived at the camp gate, although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the huge crowd of people.

After thinking for a while, he made the arrangements: "Come... put down your weapons one by one, follow me into the camp, and have some hot soup!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the deserters.

"Great, great! I can finally have some hot soup!"

"Damn it, we fought so hard but couldn't even get enough food, who would still work for Cao's army?"

"General! Thank you, General. We are starving to death!"

Cao Xiu was among the deserters. When he heard that these Cao soldiers were cheering for this matter, his face looked extremely ugly!
These deserters are truly shameful!
He was still fighting bravely at the pass, and now he turned around and spoke like this!
How shameless!
I am also glad that I have come to fight hard today. Otherwise, with such military morale, I am afraid that if Xing Daorong attacks the pass again, they will all surrender!
But now is not the time to be happy.

If I put away my weapons, it would be difficult to deal with Xing Daorong!
However, if we don’t accept it, we won’t be able to enter the camp at all, which is a dilemma.

What to do?
Cao Xiu was anxious, but suddenly he heard another general rushing up ahead. He looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "Wow... there are so many people here today!"

The general who came earlier heard this and said, "Oh? It turns out to be General Wenyuan."

"Ah... It seems that there is a serious shortage of food in Hangu Pass, so so many people have come."

It turns out that the person who came was Zhang Liao!
When Cao Xiu heard this, he felt a hidden hatred in his heart.

This Zhang Liao! He was deeply favored by Cao, but he actually surrendered to Liu Bei!

It would have been fine if he had just surrendered, but he actually pointed his gun at the Cao family, which was particularly hateful!
I was extremely angry, but I could only hold it in. I wanted to get through this hurdle today first.

"Since there are so many people, let's call them into the camp as soon as possible."

"With so many of us watching, nothing can go wrong."

"Besides... these people were my brothers in the past. If they were not starving, they would not have surrendered today."

"General Zhou, just take these people in and I will talk to them one by one in a friendly manner. I am not afraid of any trouble."

What a twist!

Cao Xiu was originally worried about how he would accomplish his mission without his weapons, but he didn't expect that Zhang Liao would show up and, mindful of their old friendship, was determined to send these Cao soldiers into the camp regardless of the consequences!
In this way...I can really sneak into the camp!

This Zhang Liao arrived just in time and helped me out.

...

After Zhang Liao discussed with Zhou Tai for a while, he asked Cao's soldiers to come in one by one and have some hot soup.

Cao Xiu lowered his head and dared not look up, for fear of being discovered.

But when he lowered his head, he did not notice that the Han soldiers around him had extremely sharp eyes staring at the surrendering Cao soldiers in front of them.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a military camp and saw a few pots placed in the middle.

The open fire is burning, emitting billowing hot steam, which makes people salivate at the sight of it.

"What should we do, General...should we just start?"

On Cao Xiu's side, the assassins who followed him secretly asked him for his opinion.

Cao Xiu said: "Don't be impatient, wait and see the situation."

"It would be best if we could find Xing Daorong. As long as we kill their leader and light a fire as a signal, we can accomplish our goal."

The warrior beside him nodded slightly and watched a group of people rushing forward to grab the broth.

He couldn't help but lick his lips and said, "General... since we are here, why don't we go have a bite too?"

People... after all, it is still difficult to resist physical desires.

These death warriors, like ordinary soldiers, have not eaten meat for a long time.

At this moment, I was swallowing my saliva and watching others wolfing down their food. I felt really itchy in my heart!

Cao Xiu naturally refused, fearing that it would delay important matters.

But the assassin's last sentence was right.

But he said: "Everyone is going to eat, and it would be awkward if we don't go."

When Cao Xiu saw that everyone was running towards the pot, he thought it would be bad if he didn't go.

He nodded and said, "That's right, let's go pretend to eat a few bites and then look for another opportunity."

Everyone nodded as they listened, blended into the crowd, and went to eat together.

This thing...either you eat it or not. Once you eat it, the fragrance on your tongue and the warmth in your stomach will make you unable to stop.

After a while of eating and drinking, one feels very refreshed.

Just when I was enjoying my meal, I suddenly heard a voice: "Are you enjoying your meal?"

Cao Xiu recognized it immediately. If the voice wasn't Xing Daorong's, who else could it be?
