In the canyon, the fire is still burning,

While the fire was burning, another bow and arrow fell from the mountain into the canyon. One after another, the feathered arrows fell, harvesting the lives of Cao Bao's soldiers. Under the double attack of bows, arrows and fire, more and more people were killed and injured.

This scene made Cao Bao even more worried.

Cao Bao led the soldiers to charge, intending to rush forward, but when they arrived at the exit of the canyon, the fire was even stronger. Under the burning fire, the large rocks blocking them were even more burned, making it impossible to climb.

After Cao Bao saw it, he was panicked.

He doesn't want to die!

He didn't live enough.

But right now, Cao Bao couldn't escape from this raging fire.

Cao Bao was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "Wang Can, I surrender, I am willing to surrender."

"Shout with me!"

Cao Bao turned to look at the soldiers under his command and asked everyone to shout together.

"I surrender!"

"Willing to surrender!"

…

One by one, the soldiers began to shout, and their voices echoed in the canyon.

Cao Bao looked up at the mountain with a look of expectation on his face. Under the current circumstances, he could only adopt the strategy of surrender. Surrender first to stabilize Wang Can and save his own life. After returning to Xiapi Kingdom, he would consider other things. As long as Wang Can

Can raised his noble hand and poured water on it to extinguish the fire in the canyon, and he could escape.

Wang Can heard Cao Bao's words on the mountain, but he remained motionless and had no soft-hearted thoughts at all.

These are troubled times.

If you don't kill people, people will kill you.

If he doesn't kill Cao Bao, he will rebel again when Cao Bao returns to Xiapi.

Just like in history, Cao Bao betrayed Liu Bei.

At first, Cao Bao had no choice but to submit to Liu Bei, but in a blink of an eye, he hooked up with Lu Bu and betrayed Liu Bei.

This is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Taishi Ci stood next to Wang Can, looking at the fire burning in the canyon and listening to the screams. He did not speak. Because as a general leading an army, he could not have excess kindness.

Wang Can's refusal to answer made Cao Bao's heart sink to the bottom of his heart, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

He pulled out the sword from his waist and tried to kill himself with the sword, but the sword edge reached his neck, but he could not remove it. Cao Bao's cheek twitched, a look of pain appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Biao, kill me!

"

As Cao Bao's captain, Chen Biao was also crying at the moment. The waves of heat had already made his hair curl up, and there were even fine beads of sweat seeping out on his forehead.

He was very uncomfortable.

Chen Biao felt even more regretful.

If I had known earlier, he would not have come, but now, there is no point even surrendering.

It can only be a dead end.

When he heard Cao Bao's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, you kill me too. We two will kill each other."

"good!"

The two people looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

"kill!"

Cao Bao roared and stabbed Chen Biao in the heart with the sword in his hand.

At the same time, Chen Biao also raised his sword and stabbed out.

"Puch!!"

The two swords each pierced the other's chest. The long sword penetrated deeply, especially since each one's attack was very heavy. One sword penetrated the heart. As the long sword was drawn out, blood immediately spattered out.

"me……"

Cao Bao spoke in his mouth, but the blood that surged up entered his throat and mouth, making him unable to speak at all, and could only make a squealing sound in his mouth.

Severe pain spreads to the brain.

Waves of dizziness came from his mind, and Cao Bao's eyes gradually lost focus.

"thump!"

Cao Bao's vision went dark and he lost consciousness. He leaned back and fell to the ground without any breath. At the same time, Chen Biao did the same, falling to the ground almost at the same time.

After Cao Bao and Chen Biao committed suicide, the soldiers in the canyon screamed loudly and ran around in panic. However, the fire burned, especially the thick smoke, which made many people unable to breathe and began to suffocate.

More and more people were killed and injured.

After nearly half an hour, the screams in the canyon had subsided, and there was no sound again.

The intensity of the fire gradually diminished, with only lingering smoke rising.

Wang Can ordered: "Withdraw the troops!"

"Here!"

After Taishi Ci received the order, he didn't pay attention to the people in the canyon and directly ordered a retreat. Even this time, Wang Can no longer went to the seat of Xiapi Kingdom and started to return to Langya Kingdom.

Because Cao Bao is dead.

Those who resisted have been killed.

Now Wang Can does not need to arrange someone to serve as the Prime Minister of Xiapi State. He can leave the position of Prime Minister vacant. What Wang Can has to do is to wait for people from various countries and counties to go to Kaiyang County.

With Cao Bao as a precedent, the rest should know what to do.

When Wang Can withdrew his troops, he had already arranged for someone to deliver the news.

The news that Cao Bao was killed spread quickly.

Such news is nothing less than a wake-up call for the governor of Donghai County. You must know that Cao Bao is a powerful man in Xuzhou, and the Cao family is extremely powerful. But now, Cao Bao died in the blink of an eye, and even

Not one of the more than 10,000 soldiers led by Cao Bao escaped, and they were all burned to death.

Such results are shocking.

The governor of Donghai County felt lucky in his heart that he didn't have to confront Wang Can.

Otherwise, Cao Bao will serve as a warning to others.

When the news about Cao Bao was like a hurricane, it quickly swept through the other counties and countries in Xuzhou. People who had not planned to go to Kaiyang County quickly packed their bags and went to Kaiyang County, not daring to disobey Wang Can's order again.

Cao Bao is a warning to others. Who dares to provoke Wang Can?

And next to Pi County, the Chen family.

After Chen Gui received the news from his family, he immediately arranged for someone to call Chen Deng into the study.

After Chen Deng saluted, he said, "The father asked his son to come, but what's the matter?"

Chen Gui said seriously: "It's news about Wang Can."

Chen Deng said: "Wang Can won?"

"yes!"

Chen Gui nodded and said seriously: "The news sent back is that Wang Can wiped out more than 10,000 soldiers under Cao Bao's command without spending a single soldier. All the soldiers Cao Bao brought from Xiapi Kingdom were killed."

"ah!"

Chen Deng exclaimed when he heard it.

He said solemnly: "Father, Wang Can's troops are smaller than Cao Bao's. Even if Wang Can is powerful, he is not that powerful. Wang Can did not lose a single soldier, but he wiped out Cao Bao's soldiers. A famous general in ancient times,

That’s all.”

After a pause, Chen Deng said: "What is the specific battle situation?"

Chen Gui immediately said: "Wang Can first defeated the county magistrate's army in Liangcheng County, and then allowed the magistrate of Liangcheng County to withdraw and ask Cao Bao for help. When Cao Bao received the news and rushed to Liangcheng County, Wang Can led the army and quietly ambush Cao Bao.

In a canyon leading to Liangcheng County, the topography of the canyon was used to block the exit and entrance, and a fire destroyed Cao Bao."

hiss!!

Chen Deng took a breath.

He said seriously: "This Wang Can is so murderous."

Chen Gui said: "It's not that Wang Can is murderous, but he did it on purpose. As far as I know, after the news of Cao Bao's entire army being annihilated came out, the entire Xuzhou prefecture and state ministers were already panicked and rushed to attack.

Yang County. After all, Wang Can had previously ordered the county governor and the Prime Minister to go to discuss matters. Cao Bao has now become Wang Can’s stepping stone. Especially after Wang Can killed Cao Bao, he never entered Xiapi Kingdom again, but brought

The soldiers retreated and returned directly to Langya Kingdom."

"Brilliant, really brilliant!"
