: Capture the thief first and capture the king first

"Cao Hong, you have 1,500 cavalry to occupy important places such as the grain depot, bank warehouse, and armory. Give me 500 cavalry and I will kill Huang Zu myself!" Su Ming gave the order.

Su Ming wants to occupy Jiangxia, not destroy it.

Therefore, places such as grain depots, bank depots, and armories must be occupied. After all, when governing Jiangxia after the war, food and money were indispensable.

"I have the order!" Cao Hong received the order and then thought about it. Su Ming only led 500 cavalry to kill Huang Zu. Isn't it a bit hasty?

You must know that Huang Zu is the lord of Jiangxia after all, so Su Ming will lead 500 troops. If he cannot attack the government office and kill Huang Zu, it will be in trouble.

It was dark now, and the defenders in the city couldn't see how many men and horses they had, so they could still bluff.

After daybreak, they will be able to clearly see their numbers. By then, if Huang Zu is not captured, it will be a bit troublesome.

"General Su, are five hundred troops enough?"

"If not, how about you and I each lead a thousand cavalry?" Cao Hong suggested.

Although the tasks of occupying the grain depot, bank warehouse, and armory are important, they are still inferior to killing Huang Zu.

If Huang Zu is killed, everything will be fine.

If Huang Zu cannot be killed, then after dawn, it will be time for Huang Zu to rebel.

Having already entered the city, Huang Zu was ready to be slaughtered by Su Ming.

If Huang Zu can't be taken down now, then Su Ming will hang himself on a tree with a crooked neck.

"No need to say more, five hundred troops and horses are enough!" Su Ming interrupted Cao Hong directly.

Su Ming is the commander-in-chief of this attack on Jiangxia, and everything must be obeyed by Su Ming's orders.

Now that Su Ming had clearly given the order, Cao Hong didn't say anything more.

Cao Hong led 1,500 cavalry and rushed to important locations in the city such as the grain warehouse and the bank warehouse.

Su Ming, on the other hand, personally led five hundred cavalry and went straight to the government office, intending to put on a good show of capturing the thief first and the king first.

At this time, due to the collapse of the city gate and the darkness, the situation was unknown, and the entire city was in chaos.

Su Ming personally led five hundred cavalry, and like a sharp awl, he quickly penetrated the messy defenders' defense line in the city and rushed to the front of the government office.

In the middle of the night, Huang Zu was sleeping soundly.

The battle in the city alerted the defenders in the city, and someone immediately came to report to Huang Zu.

"Master Taishou, Master Taishou."

"The situation is bad, Cao Cao's troops have entered the city, and the city gate has been captured!" The defenders in the city hurriedly rushed into Huang Zu's mansion and reported to him.

Huang Zu was sleeping with his new concubine in his arms. When he saw his soldiers rushing to report, he asked in a daze: "What did you say? Who broke in?"

As the saying goes, it is easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Ever since Huang Zu took refuge with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, no one would take action against him with Liu Biao as his backer!

The only person who has a grudge against him is the Jiangdong Sun family.

However, Sun Ce just died a few days ago, and Sun Quan just succeeded to the throne, so he shouldn't take action against him at this time!

"Cao Cao! They are Prime Minister Cao's soldiers and horses!"

"They have already entered the city. It's so chaotic. Now the city is full of Cao's troops. It's already chaos!" The soldier who came to report told the story vividly.

It was dark everywhere at night and visibility was very poor.

The defenders in the city had no idea how many Cao troops had entered the city. In addition, Su Ming and others fought fiercely and with bluff, which gave the defenders in the city the illusion that there were many Cao troops entering the city.

When he heard that Cao Cao had sent people to fight in, and that countless Cao troops had entered the city, Huang Zu was so frightened that he sat up with excitement.

At this time, Huang Zu didn't feel sleepy anymore.

When Huang Zu was young, he was somewhat brave.

After all, he was also the man who shot to death the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian.

However, since he took refuge with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he no longer had any threats, he had become accustomed to living a stable life, and he no longer had the same bravery as before.

Huang Zu was frightened when he heard Cao Cao's name.

Mainly, in recent years, Cao Cao's reputation has become too great.

Is this Lu Fengxian very powerful? His personal bravery is invincible. Didn't Baimenlou also die in the hands of Cao Cao?

Is Yuan Shu of Huainan very powerful? The fourth generation and the three princes commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and held the imperial seal in hand. Wasn't he also defeated by Cao Cao?

Isn't Liu Bei very powerful? His subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both brave and courageous, but weren't they defeated by Cao Cao and turned into a loser, and fled to Yuan Shao in panic?

Over the years, Cao Cao has achieved great success and gained a great reputation!

"It's all Liu Biao's fault!"

"He has been flirting with Yuan Shao all day long, and offended the Prime Minister. Now it's okay! The Prime Minister came with his troops, but I gave him Liu Biao's head!"

"Damn Liu Biao, damn Liu Biao!" Huang Zu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in a hurry!

Seeing that Huang Zu was so panicked, the concubine she took in came up with an idea: "Master, according to my concubine's words, it is better to switch to Prime Minister Cao."

The concubine's words touched Huang Zu's heart.

Huang Zu thought to himself that the one who finally won the world was probably Prime Minister Cao, so he took the opportunity to vote for the Prime Minister, which would be good.

However, when Huang Zu changed his mind and saw his charming concubine, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​seeking refuge with Cao Cao.

Huang Zu thought to himself, that thief Cao loved his wife the most.

If I take refuge with Cao Cao, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my charming concubines.

When the time comes, the thief Cao has taken advantage of me, and I have become a living bastard, right?

After thinking of this, Huang Zu thought to himself, come on, I'll pack up the gold and silver, and I'll first escape to Liu Biao's place in Jingzhou.

"Don't mention surrendering to Cao Cao again."

"Quickly, pack up. Let's take the gold and silver and go to Jingzhou first!" Huang Zu immediately ordered.

Since he didn't know the situation inside the city, Huang Zu had no fighting spirit at all and just wanted to escape from the city first.

He has been the prefect of Jiangxia for so many years, but he has gained a lot of wealth from the people.

He would never be able to spend all this money in eight lifetimes.

Soon, the news that Cao Jun had entered the city spread in Huang Zu's mansion.

Huang Zu's dozens of wives and concubines began to pack their things noisily. One woman is equal to five hundred ducks. One can imagine how chaotic Huang Zu's house has become now.

Fortunately, Deng Long was very slippery. After learning that Cao Jun had entered the city, he guessed that Huang Zu would definitely run away.

So Deng Long followed his suit and drove a team of soldiers and more than a dozen carts to Huang Zu's house to help Huang Zu pack his things.

"Don't clean up these rags!"

"Calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, gold, jewelry, whatever is valuable should be taken first!" Huang Zu directed the servants in the house to carry things to the car like ants before a rainstorm.
