Just after the hour, the soldiers in the city father city have completed the change of guard.

Cao Hong and his brothers had already returned to the camp and began to search for the Duke of Zhou, while Yu Ban had just begun to patrol the city. And the Yuan Shu army under the city is still brightly lit, and it is still not moving, and hundreds of tents are like night pearls left on the original.

Peaceful, quiet.

Yuan Shu seems to have forgotten that he only suffered a big loss in the city today, and the soldiers in the tent don't seem to have any plans to send troops.

But, is Yuan Shu really a person who thinks that suffering losses is a blessing? Of course not, if anyone dares to believe that Yuan Shu is a magnanimous lord who can be bullied by others, then his head will either be kicked by a donkey or squeezed by the door.

There is a mass grave about three or five miles away from the county seat of the city father, which is called "ghosts do not collect".

As the name suggests, ghosts are lonely ghosts who don't even want to accept ghosts, and they are all people who wander around and have no roots, and they have neither descendants to come to pay their respects, nor have the government to worship them.

Their graves were lying in a mess on mass graves, no one to worship, and naturally no one to repair them, and the graves had already been arched by the rats, lynxes, hares, and hedgehogs, and the coffins had leaked out, and even some burial clothes were scattered everywhere.

Suddenly, a hundred and ten men in black came from a distance, they were dressed in black and masked, with black canopies on their heads, and no illuminated torches in their hands, but they still found this place by the phosphorus fire floating above the tomb.

Obviously, they are already familiar with the road. Obviously, they are not warriors in the army, but the rangers of the rivers and lakes that Yuan Shu has assembled a long time ago.

With a wave of his hand, everyone quickly stopped and scattered around the mass grave, startled by several crows croaking and hovering over the branches for a long time and refusing to disperse.

The leader of the man gushed endlessly in front of everyone: "We are all children of the rivers and lakes, and we naturally know that we are happy and revengeful, and we have kindness and revenge." The lord gathered us under his command, and provided us with good wine and meat on weekdays, which also saved us from the pain of wandering around the world. Today is the time for us to serve the Lord! ”

"Boss, what are you talking all that nonsense? If anyone dares to drag us back, my Shouchun Five Tigers will immediately take his dog's life! Five black-clothed men with big shoulders and round waists stood in front of the leader, looking at everyone angrily.

"Boss, what the five tigers said is right, here are all brothers who have passed their lives, and the sons of the rivers and lakes who have received the great favor of the lord, you just say yes!" Present again

More than a dozen people gathered around.

The leader nodded, pressed his hands slightly, and then said: "Since all the brothers think the same, then brother and I will stop talking nonsense. As we all know, the lord has indeed encountered some problems now, and the situation is imminent. If the lord wants to recreate the situation, he must move his center of gravity to the north.

And right now, this city father is the first city to stand in front of the lord's battle situation. Cao Cao had tens of thousands of troops, took our homeland for himself, and redeployed it in the city. If you want to break through the city in a short time, I'm afraid it's a little too late. Therefore, the lord ordered us to sneak into the city to complete a mission.

And this task is exactly what we are good at, killing people and setting fires and causing chaos in the city, and doing everything we can to disrupt or destroy the deployment of the Cao thieves in the city. At that time, the lord will arrange for the army to sneak into the city immediately behind us, and join us to meet the army outside the city into the city. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Good! In that case, let's go! With a long shout, the chief went to a tomb, lifted the stone tablet that had fallen to the ground, took a torch from his brother beside him, lit it with a scythe, and jumped into the black hole in the tomb with the torch.

……

"Huang Ji" grain and oil shop is the largest grain store in the city father, "Huang Ji" owner Huang Youren is a Shouchun people, but also very Huainan people shrewd.

In the early years, when he was doing business, he saw that the father of this city was close to Chendi and Runan, and not far from Liangguo and Xuzhou, so he took root here, and devoted himself to the business of grain and oil in the city father, and entrusted Yuan Lian to take care of it, and became one of the top businessmen in this city in a few years.

This time Yuan Lian withdrew from the city father, everyone thought that Yuan Lian would evacuate with Huang Youren, but who knew that Yuan Lian, who had always put the people first, had a big quarrel with Huang Youren outside the yamen, and beat Huang Youren with a stick in public.

So under the resentment, Huang Youren did not wait for Cao Cao to gain a firm foothold in the city father, so he switched to Cao Jun, and donated all the grain and grass in the store, and became Cao Cao's agent in the city father.

At the moment, Huang Youren's family had fallen asleep, and Huang Youren had just finished today's inspection and was lying alone in bed. Suddenly, the head of the intuition bed shook slightly, and a crisp and weak bell came from under the bed.

Huang Youren hurriedly jumped off the bed, moved the bed to the side with a lamp in his coat, and then took out a short sword from his waist and walked along

A bluestone slab on the ground was cut, and then he pried out a gap with all his might, and his hands firmly grasped the gap and jerked it up, revealing a cave in Hessewood.

A burly black figure leaped out of the cave, a black-clad masked man with a huge cloak on his head, and it was the leader of the mass grave.

"Heavenly Master Dingshan River!"

"Sword Seal River Demon!"

The leader and Huang Youren exchanged sentences, and each took out a half-cut talisman from his arms and closed it, and it was seamless.

"Are you the only one?"

Huang Youren glanced at the leader anxiously, but the leader had already poked his head into the hole and shouted softly, and more than 100 people rushed out, instantly filling Huang Youren's huge bedroom.

"Shopkeeper Huang, hard work. Have you found out the deployment of the Cao thief? After everyone came out of the cave and squatted down on the ground, the leader gestured to Huang Youren and asked.

Huang Youren nodded, walked to the bed, lifted the futon and straw mat, and took the bed board off the bed and laid it across in front of everyone. Everyone looked at it, and saw that the bed board was carved with a knife, and it was square, and there were a number of ovals or small squares in the middle, which looked like military camps, grain stacks, and buildings in the city.

It turned out that this wooden board was engraved with Cao Jun's defense map in the city.

"Cao thieves have tens of thousands of troops in the city, among which Cao Cao himself lives in the county office, Xiahou Yuan is stationed in the east of the city, Xiahou is stationed in the south of the city, Xu Zhu is stationed in the west of the city, and Cao Ren is seriously injured in Bifeng Gorge, and his soldiers are stationed in the north of the city together with Cao Hong."

Speaking of this, Huang Youren paused, turned to the crowd, pointed to the oval markers on the map, and continued, "The grain depots of Cao Ying are mainly concentrated in the relief warehouses and peace granaries in the north and east of the city, and there are enough 70,000 or 80,000 stones, which can supply Cao's army for more than a month.

If we want to make the Cao thieves chaotic and have no time to care, then we must use these alleys in the city to cut off the connection between these military camps, and then put a few more fires in these two granaries, and when the chaos happens, it will be time for us to lead troops into the city and win! ”

"Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

"That's good, the soldiers are fast, and the brothers must not make a mistake immediately!" The leader Huo Ran got up, looked at everyone's eyes and waved his hand, everyone opened the bedroom window and jumped out of the window, and then disappeared into the night in a flash.
