Chapter 2891: Cao Hong fell in the internal strife, Cao Ren, who could not surrender, would not succeed
Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan were very puzzled. How could this matter become like this?
They clearly have Li Da’s suicide note as evidence, and Li Da’s crimes are clearly written on it, but why did Cao Hong still believe that they did it?
If this is true, wouldn’t Li Da die in vain? It would be better not to commit suicide, it would be better for him to live. Cao Youwan thought of this in his heart when he heard that Cao Youwan thought of it.
Unfortunately, Jia Xu also thought of what they could think of, so he forced Li Da to death by any means and used a suicide note that seemed to be free from the crime but was actually falsely accused to completely let Cao You hear that Cao Youwan was guilty of his crime.
The current situation is that Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan both believed that Li Da’s blood-hearted suicide note was sincerely explaining it to them.
But Cao Hong did not believe that Li Da would commit suicide due to guilt. Instead, he believed that the two brothers killed Li Da, and then pushed all the crimes to Li Da, a dead person, so that he could die without evidence.
The differences between the two sides have arisen and cannot be reconciled, so the contradiction will only become increasingly greater.
A Qing and Huang Shang, who were hiding in the dark, observing the scene, especially A Qing, saw this good show of frame-up, and his insidiousness towards Jia Xu rose to another level.
At first she didn''t understand, why did the letter Jia Xu asked Li Da to confess and get rid of the crime? Now she finally understands that sometimes voluntarily admitting guilt is the most unsolvable way of slandering.
Cao You heard that Cao Youwan was very unfair. They obviously did nothing, but now they can''t argue. Even if they jumped into the Yellow River, they couldn''t wash it clearly.
Cao Hong didn''t believe the nonsense of the two, and he was determined to capture the two and detain them for interrogation. This made Cao Youwen''s brothers, how could Cao Youwan, agree?
The underground grain warehouse was burned and it had nothing to do with them. It would be fine if they were wronged now, but they still wanted to arrest them?
Cao You heard that Cao Youwan’s brothers have military power, and they can rely on military power to protect themselves outside. But if they are in prison, it will be all Cao Hong’s words. If Cao Hong just wants to use this to deprive them of military power, then they will really say that every day should not be effective.
Cao You heard that Cao Youwan''s brothers naturally would not surrender, and Cao Hong would not give up. The conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable and was about to start a fight, but what A Qing and Huang Shang did not expect was that both sides actually restrained and did not really take action.
Cao You heard that Cao Youwan’s brothers would endure it because they knew that they would be dead if they really fought.
Although both brothers hold great power, the four sects of Chenliu are under the control of Cao Ren, and there are many of their subordinates who are Cao Ren''s confidants, and if they really rebel, they may not necessarily support them.
The underground grain warehouse was burned. Cao You heard that although Cao Youwan''s brothers were suspected of being connected to Qin, they had no real evidence after all. But once they were in conflict with Cao Hong, it would be equivalent to the Ming faction rebelling and would inevitably be besieged by the army in the city, and they would definitely die.
Cao Hong would endure it because the fire in the grain warehouse has not yet been extinguished, and the people in the city are in panic. He is afraid that he will really force the two brothers to become anxious. If both sides fight, it will give the Qin army outside the city a chance to invade the city.
Looking at the three people who were obviously noisy, who were still extremely restrained, A Qing''s face was full of disappointment, but she also knew that this was just the beginning. After all, it was difficult to stop the water. Cao You heard that Cao Youwan''s brothers were destined to escape this disaster.
Seeing this, Huang Shang thought for a moment, a light white light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Cao Hong.
Seeing this, Ah Qing quickly sent a message in a secret language and asked, "Fellow Daoist Huang, what are you doing?"
"Cao Hong is afraid, while the Cao brothers are too rational. This is not enough. They must add some materials to them."
After saying that, Huang Shang used the soul-shifting method in the Nine Yin Scriptures, intending to use this to influence Cao Hong''s mind.
I have to say that Huang Shang is indeed a martial arts genius. With only the initial stage of the great master''s cultivation, he created the Nine Yin True Sutra, which has extremely high artistic conception and high upper limit. It also includes the secret method of soul transfer, which involves spiritual secrets.
Among all the secrets of martial arts, spiritual is the rarest, even rarer than the five elements required by Kong Xuan.
Because except for a very small number of people with extraordinary talent in mental power, the vast majority of people can only have the threshold to initially have the power to contact spiritual power only if they reach the level of a grand master.
The only known secret techniques of spirituality are: the heart demon-inducing technique, the mind-catching technique, the holy heart technique, etc., and they are even just the technique of double palms.
There are few spiritual secrets, and only when you reach a master can you learn it initially. In addition, learning is extremely difficult, so only a very small number of masters can do it.
But Huang Shang, who had just reached this threshold, created a spiritual secret technique like the Soul Transfer Technique with his early stage cultivation. Even if the use of mental power is still very basic and rough, such spiritual talent can be described as horror.
Under the control of Huang Shang''s Soul Transfer Technique, Cao Hong, who was fighting against heaven and man but was still trying his best to restrain himself, suddenly appeared in his mind, that was to find an opportunity to dispel the two of them, and then sneak attacked and killed Cao Youwen, Cao Youwan''s brothers, and completely cut off their possibility of rebellion once and for all.
Cao Hong knew that he could not let the two brothers go, otherwise it would be difficult to catch them again, but both brothers were wary of him, and his eldest brother Cao Youwen was no weaker than him. He could not take down the other party one-on-two, but if they were asked to go back, he would rebel, so he neither let the two go nor dared to take action.
But this sound that appeared out of thin air tilted the balance in Cao Hong''s heart, and then he made up his mind to deal with the Cao brothers here, so he put away his previous aggressive attitude.
Seeing Cao Hong suddenly changed his attitude, the Cao brothers were confused, but they didn''t want to offend Cao Hong completely. Secondly, they thought that Cao Hong was giving them a step, so they went down the steps. However, Cao Hong suddenly launched a sneak attack on Cao Youwen.
"Brother, be careful."
Seeing Cao Youwen about to be beheaded, at the critical moment, his younger brother Cao Youwan blocked his brother and used his flesh and blood to block a fatal blow for his brother, but he himself was cut off his right arm with a knife.
"ah…"
Cao Youwan screamed in a shrill voice. Cao Youwen hurriedly hugged his younger brother and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Awan, Awan..."
Seeing that this knife failed to kill Cao Youwen, Cao Hong had no way out and could only continue to attack, but was forced to retreat by Cao Youwen with anger.
Cao Youwen held his younger brother in his left hand, held a knife in his right hand, stared at his red eyes that were so angry that he cursed, "Cao Hong, you are crazy, you are actually trying to kill your own people regardless of the feelings of the same clan."
At this moment, Cao Youwen really wanted to kill Cao Hong. What''s the difference between a warrior coming and being killed with his right arm? After all, not everyone can use the left hand instead of the right hand.
Facing Cao Hong, who had deposed his younger brother, Cao Youwen was so angry that he still retained a trace of rationality, because he knew that he could not do anything to Cao Hong, and he turned against Cao Hong completely. Their brothers were the ones who suffered the loss in the end, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and gave himself and Cao Hong a last chance.
But under the magic of the ecstasy, Cao Hong, whose negative emotions were amplified, obviously ignored Cao Youwen''s kindness, and instead said with a sarcastic look on his face: "Our own people? Who is your own people? You two brothers are worthy of Cao''s surname, and all the traitors deserve to die."
"You are looking for death." Cao Youwen knew that he could not be good enough, so he simply couldn''t bear it anymore. After putting his seriously injured brother aside, he directly waved his knife and slashed at Cao Hong, and Cao Hong naturally roared to fight.
Cao Hong Jiwu 101 (+5), Cao You heard that Jiwu 100 (+3), the two Jiwu are only a little bit short, so it is naturally not so easy to decide the winner.
But with the war between Cao Youwen and Cao Hong, the soldiers who followed the two also fought, and thousands of people broke out in a melee at Li Da’s residence, which also opened the prelude to the internal strife of Cao’s army.
Seeing that Cao Jun and his own people started fighting, A Qing also showed gloating expressions on his face. But when he looked at Huang Shang, he found that the other party was sweating profusely and his skills were nearly half less than before.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, what''s wrong with you?"
Ah Qing had never practiced the secret method of spirituality, and did not know why Huang Shang had such great changes before and after, but Huang Shang explained with a wry smile: "I underestimated Cao Hong. His willpower was too firm and he almost suffered a backlash."
Although the mental secret techniques are strong, they also have great hidden dangers, because once they are mentally backfired, they will be in a coma for several days at a minimum, and at worst they will become a fool.
With the mental power gap between Huang Shang and Cao Hong, no matter how much it backfired, it would not make Huang Shang become a fool, but it would be troublesome to be in a coma for a few days.
He is now in Chenliu City, which has 100,000 Cao troops. Once the trace is exposed, Ah Qing alone may not be able to save him. After all, the Grand Master is not invincible.
When Ah Qing heard this, he said in surprise: "Is Cao Hong''s willpower so strong? Can he resist your ecstasy technique as a great master?"
"It''s not that Cao Hong has strong willpower, but that they all killed people from the sea of ??blood and killed people like numbness and treated human lives like grass. Whether it is physical or willpower, they are much stronger than ordinary warriors." Huang Shang sighed lightly.
Just as the two were discussing, the battle between Cao Youwen and Cao Hong changed.
Cao Youwen''s hard power is not much weaker than Cao Hong, but he is still too young after all. In addition, he has just experienced his younger brother being deposed, so his mentality is a little broken, so he is also a little eager for quick success in playing style, so he is easily suppressed by Cao Hong.
Seeing that his brother was at a disadvantage, Cao You, who had broken his arm, was anxious and did not care about the pain in his arm. He snatched the spear from the guard and used it as a javelin. He threw it out with all his strength with his left hand.
[Dingdong, Cao You heard that Cao Youwan’s combination technique, “Brothers and Foots and Sides” effect 1 is activated, and the two of them have +3 at the same time;
Cao Youwen''s basic force is 100 (+3), equipment +1, sword **** +4, imperial army +3, death fight +3+2+2;
Currently: Cao Youwen’s force has risen to 118;
Cao Youwan''s force has risen to...]
Cao Youwan is good at throwing, but he throws with his left hand, but he is not accurate with his right hand. He can only play a restraining role and cannot truly threaten Cao Hong, but that is enough.
With the support of his younger brother, Cao Youwen, who had surpassed his military power, took advantage of Cao Hong''s distractedness and launched a counterattack. With his desperate fighting style, Cao Hong was defeated and dwarfed.
After the two sides fought for twenty rounds, Cao Youwen slashed Cao Hong''s breastplate with one knife and left a deep knife mark on the other party''s chest.
Although Cao Hong was seriously injured, he wanted to fight again, but his physical energy was severely lost. He staggered and half-kneeled, almost falling.
Cao Hong is naturally better than Cao Youwen, but he can''t stand the doubles between the two brothers. Even though Cao Youwan did not participate in the battle because of his broken arm, he inspired his brothers and feet to be together, and the increase this brought to Cao Youwen was enough to defeat him who had no additional increase.
Cao Youwen looked at Cao Hong who was seriously injured and half-kneeled, and was breathing rapidly. His heart was filled with resentment and murderous intent, but reason told him that Cao Hong could not be killed.
Although my younger brother lost one arm, his life was still there. If he killed Cao Hong, their brother would be really dead.
Based on the consideration of saving your life, Cao Youwen finally chose to restrain himself. After putting away the knife, he threatened Cao Hong: "Cao Hong, I will spare your life this time, but if you are more aggressive, I will die with you next time."
After saying that, Cao Youwen stopped the melee around him, and then held his pale brother and staggered away step by step, but the direction he left was not the camp of the army he led, but the direction where Cao Zhen and Cao Bing''s brothers were located.
Cao Youwen knew in his heart that if he injured Cao Hong, Cao Ren would not let him go easily. He could not resist Cao Ren with the strength of his brothers, so if he wanted to protect himself, he had to find allies.
The only people in Chenliu City who can be Cao Youwen''s allies in Chenliu City who have clearly expressed opposition in the previous killing incident, thus provoking Cao Ren''s authority. If the two sides join forces, they will have the strength to threaten Cao Ren, and Cao Ren will naturally not dare to take action easily.
When Cao Hong saw Cao Youwen''s departure, he knew that he had messed up the matter again. Cao Ren asked him to catch the traitor, but not only did he fail to catch it, but also made the situation develop in the worst direction.
But Cao Hong, who was seriously injured, was powerless at this time, so he could only send someone to report to Cao Ren and make him mentally prepared. He then asked a doctor to bandage and heal the injury.
A Qing and Huang Shang, who were watching the show throughout the whole time, finally walked out of the shadow when they saw that Cao Youwen and Cao Hong had left.
Ah Qing looked at the direction where Cao Youwen left, and praised with appreciation: "What luck has the Cao family gone? Why are there such famous generals in this generation emerging? Cao Youwen was forced to be like this, and he can still maintain his rationality, which is very popular as a general."
Huang Shang seemed to have not heard it, but instead looked at the direction of Cao Hong''s departure and said, "Fellow Taoist Ah Qing, if Cao Hong died of serious injury and death, would this good show be even more exciting?"
Ah Qing was stunned when she heard this, then she thought about it and nodded with agreement.
It is already a general trend to surrender to send Cao Zhen brothers and join forces with Cao Youwen brothers. If Cao Hong dies, Cao Ren will lose his arm directly.
As one goes up and the other goes down, and the Chenliu grain warehouse is burned, under various disadvantages, even if Cao Ren doesn''t want to surrender, he can''t resist the surging public opinion under his command, so in the end there is only one way to have to surrender.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, you have a lot of money, so let''s take a break first. Leave it to me this time to ensure that Cao Hong will die if he is seriously injured." A Qing said with a smile.
The next day, Cao Ren, who finally put out the fire overnight and rescued some of the food and grass, received bad news that his cousin Cao Hong died of his injuries before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
