Chapter 406
"What?"
Gongsun Zan, Zhang Miao, and the others heard this and looked up at the flags on the city wall.
"Hiss!"
Finding that the flags had indeed changed to Su Xuan's, everyone gasped.
"No way? Could this Sishui Pass have already been captured by General Su Xuan?"
"This is impossible! How long has it been? We arrived as fast as we could, how could they have captured Sishui Pass so quickly?"
"But what about the fresh blood stains and the pile of corpses in front of the city gate?"
"Why are we guessing here? Send someone to call out and ask, won't we know?"
"That's true!"
Immediately, Cao Cao sent a scout to call out.
"Are the people in the city subordinates of General Su Xuan?"
"Correct!"
"Then has this Sishui Pass been captured by General Su Xuan?"
"Yes! I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan, a general under General Su Xuan. My Lord has given instructions that you can enter the city! I will order someone to open the pass right now!"
"Creak! Creak!"
After speaking, Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the messenger immediately passed down the order. Soon, the city gate was opened.
The scout also hurriedly spurred his horse back to Cao Cao and the others, reporting the situation truthfully.
"Hiss! It really was captured! This is too powerful!"
"Indeed! It's like listening to a myth!"
"Are the troops under General Su Xuan really this elite?"
"Could it be an enemy trap?"
"...."
Facing the exclamation and hesitation of these warlords, Cao Cao thought for a moment, led the army forward, arrived at a distance of an arrow's flight from the pass, looked up, and happened to see Zhao Yun's face.
He had no more doubts in his heart and couldn't help but laugh at Zhao Yun: "General Zilong! How have you been? Is Boyuan here?"
Zhao Yun heard this and replied immediately: "After we captured the pass, most of the enemy troops had already led their army to retreat from the west, and they burned quite a bit of grain and fodder;"
"My Lord has already led the army to pursue them!"
"It is estimated that it will take some time for them to return!"
"Does General Cao want to enter the pass?"
With Zhao Yun's strength, he naturally heard the discussions of the warlords from a thousand meters away.
He also wanted to see if these warlords had the guts to come in.
"Haha! Naturally!"
Cao Cao heard this, laughed loudly, and waved his hand to order: "Go! Follow me into the pass!"
"Big Brother! Should we be a little careful? Let me lead the army in to take a look first!"
Cao Ren, who was on the side, couldn't help but step forward to persuade him.
He felt that Cao Cao's decision was too reckless.
What if it was a trap?
Maybe Zhao Yun had already been captured and persuaded to surrender by the enemy?
Better safe than sorry!
"Nonsense!"
Cao Cao heard this, glared at him and said: "I trust Boyuan, and I also trust General Zilong!"
"Let's go! Follow me into the city!"
Saying this, he took the lead in approaching the pass, quickly crossed the moat bridge, and entered the city gate tunnel.
They entered the pass smoothly.
They didn't see any traps, only quite a few of Su Xuan's soldiers guarding the pass.
"General Cao! Zhao Yun greets you!"
At this time, Zhao Yun came down from the pass and cupped his hands at Cao Cao from afar.
At this moment, the hearts of Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and the others were finally put at ease.
"Haha! General Zilong, you are too polite!"
Cao Cao smiled kindly, dismounted, stepped forward, and asked: "I didn't expect you to really capture this Sishui Pass in this short half-hour;"
"It's simply unbelievable. How exactly did you do it? Can you tell me? I am very curious!"
