Chapter 3: The Battle of Wancheng

The next morning, outside the city of Xudu, Cao Jun camped.

According to the order of historical development, Cao Cao will attack Wancheng in the second year of Jian'an, which is now this time.

Early in the morning, Cao Cao arrived at the military camp, accompanied by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, first inspected it, and then gathered the army to prepare to attack Wancheng.

I don't know why, Cao Cao felt uneasy as long as he remembered what Chen Yang had said.

"Prime Minister, are you still thinking about what that kid said yesterday?" At this time, Dian Wei came to Cao Cao's side and saw through the worry in his heart.

"It's better to be careful." Cao Cao said lightly.

"What does he know? If you hadn't stopped me, I would have broken his neck yesterday! Dian Wei said murderously.

Cao Cao shook his head slightly and stopped talking.

Next, the army began to set off, and the mighty army left Xudu and headed for Wancheng.

At this time, under the banner of the Chinese army, there was also a young man in his twenties, who was also wearing battle armor and looked heroic, he was Cao Ang.

Cao Cao sat on top of the horse and talked with Cao Ang about the situation in the world.

"Ziyu, what do you think, what is the result of this battle of Wancheng?" Cao Cao unconsciously thought of Chen Yang again.

Cao Ang thought seriously for a while: "Zhang Xiu will fall!" ”

"Oh!"

Cao Cao was a little surprised and asked, "You also think he will surrender, why is that?" ”

What Cao Ang said was just a joke, and he said casually: "My father's army is pressing, how can he not surrender?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Okay! ”

The army continued to advance, and after a few days, finally came to the bottom of Wancheng.

However, before the war started, just as Chen Yang said, Zhang Xiu led the crowd to surrender.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, there was nothing more refreshing than winning without a fight, but at the same time he was shocked.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu really surrendered, even Dian Wei's face changed slightly, something was wrong.

"Prime Minister, I think it's that kid's luck that made him guess right." Dian Wei still didn't believe it.

"Maybe!" Cao Cao nodded, and said, "Evil comes, if there is any change tonight, you will order someone to set fire to the camp and send a message to Zhongkang and them." ”

Cao Cao's expression was extremely solemn, he called Xu Chu and others over, and ordered: "Tonight, you stay outside the city, as long as you see the fire burning in the city, you will immediately attack the city, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu will be deceitful." ”

"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded immediately.

When it comes to entering the city, you must be fully prepared.

Dian Wei said: "Prime Minister, I don't think it's necessary. ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and said: "Not necessarily, do what the shopkeeper said tonight, I want to see if Zhang Xiu will rebel after surrendering, maybe Zhang Xiu is really pretending to surrender." ”

Dian Wei asked puzzledly: "What if Zhang Xiu can't rebel, but is forced to rebel by the prime minister like this?" ”

Cao Cao sneered: "Then it proves that this person has a rebellion, and rebellion is a matter of time, why not get rid of it in advance?" Even if you kill the wrong person, it doesn't matter, I'd rather bear someone than someone bear me. ”

"Tonight, you discuss with Ziyu first how to deal with this matter."

"Into town!"

Dian Wei didn't believe Chen Yang's words, but this was Cao Cao's order, and he could only go to Cao Ang and briefly tell Chen Yang about it.

"This person is talking nonsense, dare to say bluntly that I and the general will die, go back to Xudu, I will definitely kill him!" When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately cursed.

"I think so too, but the prime minister just wants to listen to him." Dian Wei shook his head helplessly.

Next, the development of things in Wancheng was exactly the same as what Chen Yang said to them, Cao Cao set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Xiu and others, and also rewarded Hu Che'er with a lot of gold and silver.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao really took Mrs. Zou away.

And Dian Wei was constantly drunk, and with Cao Cao's order, Dian Wei didn't dare to drink too much, and always remained a little sober.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Dian Wei pretended to be drunk and ordered the soldiers around him to help him go back to the tent to rest.

At this time, it was late at night, and the camp was very quiet, and there was still no trace of Zhang Xiu's rebellion, and Dian Wei was even more disdainful in his heart.

How can you believe the words of opening a tavern?

He must look good when I go back!

"It's too easy for a prime minister to trust others." Dian Wei complained in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then, Dian Wei saw a sneaky figure approaching his tent.

Dian Wei just wanted to ask who was outside, but he thought about it and simply pretended to be drunk and slept on the collapse.

Soon, the tent was opened.

"General Dian!"

It was Zhang Xiu's voice, Hu Che'er's voice.

Hu Che'er walked in cautiously, he came to Dian Wei's side, and called again.

Seeing that Dian Wei was unconscious and didn't know that he was coming, Hu Che'er smiled proudly, and reached out to take Dian Wei's double halberd.

Dian Wei pretended to be unconscious, but his heart had already set off a turbulent wave, and a sentence sounded in his mind:

Without the double halberd, Dian Wei is like a poisonous snake without fangs, which can only show off its might, but has no lethality, and cannot be fierce.

Now, Hu Che'er really took advantage of his drunkenness to steal the halberd, is he going to be right by the tavern shopkeeper?

Thinking of this, Dian Wei suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Feeling the movement around him, Dian Wei got up suddenly, pressed his hand on his double halberd, looked directly at Hu Che'er, and said coldly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Hu Che'er was suddenly frightened, let go of his hand and took several steps back: "Dian...... General Dian, why are you awake? ”

Dian Wei said in a cold voice: "Of course you hope that I will never wake up, if I am not mistaken, Zhang Xiu will be reversed, right?" ”

Their plan was directly broken by Dian Weidao, Hu Che'er trembled, turned around and ran.

"Want to run?"

Dian Wei chased after him with a loud shout, and a halberd swept by, bursting Hu Che'er's head.

At this time, Dian Wei had already woken up completely, and his hand holding the halberd was trembling.

It's just a little bit, the matter is serious, and I really have to die.

Zhang Xiu descended first and then reversed, and the tavern shopkeeper was like a god.

The more he thought about it, the more grateful Dian Wei felt in his heart for Chen Yang, and felt even more ashamed of his disdain.

After Dian Wei came to his senses, he immediately rushed out of the tent and shouted: "The whole army is assembled, Zhang Xiu is going to rebel, come and set fire to me!" ”

He shouted like this, and many people were suddenly awakened.

"General, what's going on?"

Cao Ang, who had not yet fallen asleep, came over first.

"Zhang Xiu surrendered first, and then rebelled, son, go to the prime minister."

Dian Wei had no time to explain, and hurriedly gathered his soldiers and prepared to protect Cao Cao and kill him.

Cao Ang also knew that something was wrong, and immediately walked outside Cao Cao's tent.

"Father, run! Zhang Xiu is going to rebel! Cao Ang didn't care too much, and just shouted outside.

Cao Cao just took Mrs. Zou away, and worried about his safety tonight, he didn't get involved with Mrs. Zou.

Hearing Cao Ang's shouting outside, Cao Cao put on his armor and walked out of the tent.

However, at this moment, Cao Cao heard a shout of killing near the tent.

Then I heard someone shouting: "Cao Cao is here, kill!" ”

Dozens of soldiers rushed out and surrounded Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was so shocked that he pulled Cao Ang and fled, and the soldiers immediately caught up.

"Prime minister, don't panic, Dian Wei is here!"

Then, Dian Wei's angry shouts came.

Cao Cao listened to it and was overjoyed!

Next, they killed and fled, and Dian Wei led the soldiers to break off.

Before leaving, Cao Cao instructed Cao Ang to bring some more war horses in case of emergency.

Just as they rushed out of the barracks, a row of arrows rained in, and three sharp arrows just pierced Cao Cao's mount.

Cao Cao was thrown out on the spot, and he stood up in embarrassment, hiding behind the horse's carcass to avoid the rain of arrows.

"Father, get on the horse!"

Cao Ang said in a loud voice and came to Cao Cao's side with his war horse.

At the same time as seeing the corpse of the Absolute Shadow, Cao Cao was shocked again, and he was actually right by the tavern shopkeeper again.

He secretly screamed in his heart that it was dangerous.

Although Cao Cao was prepared, Zhang Xiu and others chased and beat fiercely, and they fled in embarrassment.

At the same time, the city gate of Wancheng is also lively.

Xu Chu saw the fire inside and immediately ordered people to attack the city.

Fighting until the second half of the night, Cao Cao and the others finally met with Xu Chu.

Then, the turmoil in Wancheng was quelled.

Zhang Xiu knew that Cao Cao was not dead, and that he was gone, so he followed Jia Xu's advice, abandoned the city and fled, and went to Liu Biao.

"Evil comes, the shopkeeper of the tavern, he is like a god!"

Cao Cao escaped in it, and after relieving himself, he looked at Wancheng and said with some excitement.

"Shopkeeper Chen, God Man!"

Dian Wei thought the same.
