Zhang Hu gritted his teeth, opened his eyes wide, and stared at Su Ming.

"you"

"You are shameless!" Zhang Hu almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

In Zhang Hu's opinion, if Cao Cao likes the city of Jiangxia, then you can take it with real swords and guns.

He sends people to kidnap his wife and children and threatens him to open the city gate. What kind of hero is this?

Su Ming continued to cook. While cooking, he persuaded him earnestly: "General Zhang Hu, if you can curse a few words, you will feel better. I will curse you however you want."

"But you have to think clearly before making a decision. Your wife and children only live once, and if you make the wrong decision, it will be irreversible!"

"The Prime Minister wants Jiangxia City, so I have no choice but to make this decision."

"Hey! I hope General Zhang Hu won't make it difficult for me. If it's difficult for me, no one will have an easy time."

At this time, Xu Chu was also adding to his jealousy: "Look, how poor is your family?"

"You are a general after all, but if you are so poor, then Huang Zu won't treat you well, right?"

Not to mention, Huang Zu was really not very good towards Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu is not considered Huang Zu's confidant. He climbed to this position step by step by accumulating qualifications and military exploits.

In addition, he was dull and did not know how to flatter, so he did not like Huang Zu.

Zhang Hu stared at Su Ming, obviously making a very difficult decision in his heart.

"When I open the city gate, you promise not to harm the lives of my wife and children?" After a long while, Zhang Hu asked like a deflated rubber ball.

After constantly weighing the pros and cons, his wife and children still had the upper hand.

For the life of his wife and children, betrayal is a last resort.

Su Ming put the last mouthful of food into his mouth and said: "Of course, you are the hero for opening the city gate. Not only will I spare the lives of your wife and children, but I will also give you the three thousand taels of gold as promised."

"

"With this gold, your family of three will have enough food and clothing in your next life."

Zhang Hu looked at the box of gold, then at the empty box used to hold the heads of his family of three, and finally chose the former.

"good!"

"I promise you to open the city gate!" Zhang Hu reluctantly agreed.

All of this was within Su Ming's expectations.

Zhang Hu was not Huang Zu's confidant. He and Huang Zu just had an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, and they would not risk the lives of a family of three for Huang Zu.

"I have sent people to make proper arrangements for your wife and children. The city gate will be opened tonight, and I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow!" After Su Ming finished speaking, he patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder and said, "Your wife's cooking skills are good.

!”

Late at night, in the barren mountains outside Xiling City.

Cao Hongzheng was leading two thousand leopard horses hiding in the mountains and forests. The mouths of these horses were tied with cloth strips, and the horses' hooves were also tied with cloth to try not to make the slightest sound.

It was dark and windy today, which was quite conducive to their actions.

At this time, Cao Hong and the others just waited for the city gate to raise fire as a signal, and then they rushed out.

At night, Zhang Hu led people to inspect the city gate.

The people behind Zhang Hu were none other than Su Ming and Cao Jun's masters who had sneaked into the city beforehand.

However, they all now put on the armor of Huang Zu's men, and Zhang Hu was covering them, so they did not attract the attention of others.

Zhang Hu and Su Ming arrived at the city gate. Seeing that the time had come, Su Ming winked.

Everyone raised their swords and directly killed the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then successfully opened the city gate.

Su Ming personally stood at the city gate, holding a torch high and shaking it constantly.

As soon as the city gate opened, the soldiers on the city wall also noticed something was wrong, and rushed down the city.

However, at this time, Xu Chu directly held the sword the size of a door panel and blocked the stone stairs of the city wall.

Xu Chu said that one man is in charge of the barrier, and no one can open it. With him blocking the stone stairs of the city wall, these soldiers would not be able to get down unless they jumped from the city wall.

On the other side, after seeing Cao Hong raising fire as a signal at the city gate, he immediately led two thousand leopard cavalry and rushed in.

After these two thousand leopard cavalry rushed into the city, they quickly captured the city wall.

Zhang Hu also understood that he had opened the city gate and became a traitor.

Now, we can only help Su Ming and the others capture Xiling City and kill Huang Zu.

Otherwise, he will have no way to survive.

"Brothers, they are all Prime Minister Cao's soldiers!"

"The Prime Minister has sent troops. Jiangxia will soon belong to Prime Minister Cao. Brothers, don't resist stubbornly and surrender to the Prime Minister!" Zhang Hu began to persuade his brothers to surrender.

Since Cao Cao cooperated with the emperor to command the princes, he has become one of the few great princes in the world.

In addition, Cao Cao has defeated Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others in recent years, which has made Cao Cao's reputation even surpass that of Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince.

When they heard that Cao Cao's men had captured Xiling, these soldiers surrendered.

Cao Cao's power was too great. Even Liu Biao, who was in charge of Jingzhou, was talking about Cao Cao, let alone Huang Zu.

In addition, the city gate has now been taken down.

It was dark now, and it was not clear how many people there were in Cao's army, but the sound of horse hooves could be heard everywhere.

Coupled with Zhang Hu's persuasion to surrender, these soldiers felt unsure and naturally were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for Huang Zu anymore.

After successfully taking over the city gate, Su Ming immediately ordered: "Xu Chu, you and Zhang Hu lead the people and immediately go to Xiling Ferry with Qin Qi to occupy Xiling Ferry."

"You have only one mission, which is to block the Xiling Ferry and prevent the navy from disembarking."

In fact, for the task of blocking Xiling Ferry, Qin Qi's five thousand troops were almost enough.

However, among Huang Zu's navy, there was a fierce general named Gan Ning.

Five thousand soldiers and horses are enough, but a player of Qin Qi's level is definitely no match for Gan Ning.

The purpose of sending Xu Chu was to find a rival for Gan Ning.

Fortunately, Zhang Hu now persuaded a group of surrendering troops.

The loyalty of these surrendered soldiers is not high. If they encounter Huang Zu and Huang Zu persuades him to surrender, these surrendered soldiers are likely to defect again.

Therefore, Su Ming simply asked Xu Chu to take them out of the city to Xiling Ferry. In this way, without seeing Huang Zu, the leader of Jiangxia, the others should not be able to make these surrendered troops switch sides.

"I have the order!" Xu Chu raised his hand and promised Su Ming: "As long as I, Xu Chu, are here, I guarantee that no one in the navy will be able to solve the case."

Jingzhou's water system was developed in the first generation, and the same is true in Jiangxia.

Huang Zu's elite soldiers and horses were all naval troops. As long as the Xiling Ferry was blocked, his elite naval troops would not be able to get ashore.

Before dawn, Su Ming came to capture the thief first and captured the king first, and beheaded Huang Zu.

By that time, the whole of Jiangxia will be leaderless.

By then, the task of capturing Jiangxia will be mostly completed.

Xu Chu and Qin Qi only need to hold out at Xiling Ferry until dawn. After they have dealt with Huang Zu themselves, they can lead their troops to support.
