Chapter 123: After capturing Dong Chenghou, he designed the Xiliang Army
Dong Cheng walked for a while looking for the traces of the grain and grass escorted, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the situation, because he was getting farther and farther away from Luoyang City.
Dong Cheng, who felt bad in his heart, suddenly regretted it, and he immediately ordered to stop advancing.
At this moment, Cao Cao's ambush suddenly came out.
Dong Cheng's subordinates were all defeated soldiers, and they did not resist much after being ambushed.
Soon, Dong Chengbu was completely taken down by the ambush army.
Le Jin, who led the ambush army, was immediately unhappy when he saw that he had caught some soldiers who were unwilling to resist, because when Cao Cao ordered him to come out to set up an ambush, he was still thinking about catching a big fish.
Very disappointed, Le Jin immediately ordered the captives to be taken away.
After returning to Luoyang City along the trail, Le Jin immediately rushed to Cao Cao to restore his life.
After listening to Le Jin's report, Cao Cao said helplessly: "Wen Qian! Not only did you fail to kill the leader of the Xiliang Army, but you also caught some burdens back for me. ”
Seeing that Cao Cao was a little unhappy, Le Jin immediately replied: "Lord, the last general will be guilty!" ”
"Forget it, you take me to see these captives first."
After Le Jin received the order, he immediately led Cao Cao to the place where the prisoners were held.
Cao Cao glanced around, and he suddenly noticed that one of these captives was a little different from the others.
Cao Cao, who noticed the abnormality, immediately ordered Le Jin to step forward and bring the prisoner who was different from others to him.
Immediately after, Cao Cao said, "Raise your head!" ”
When he heard Cao Cao's voice, Dong Cheng, who was thinking of getting by, could only raise his head helplessly.
When Cao Cao saw Dong Cheng's face, he recalled it carefully and then said, "You are Dong Cheng!" ”
Seeing Cao Cao's identity revealed, Dong Cheng instantly confessed and began to beg for mercy.
Seeing Dong Cheng begging for mercy, Cao Cao's heart had a clever plan that could break the Xiliang army.
Immediately after, Cao Cao ordered Lejin to bathe and change clothes for Dong Cheng, and he wanted to meet Dong Cheng in the mansion.
Although I didn't know why I was happy to get the order, I still complied.
Soon, Le Jin took Dong Cheng, who was bathing and changing, to Cao Cao's mansion.
As Dong Cheng was brought in, Cao Cao motioned for Dong Cheng to sit down and speak.
Dong Cheng was very flustered when he saw the food on the table, because he didn't know what Cao Cao wanted to do.
Although he was afraid, Dong Cheng still forced himself to sit down.
At this time, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "General Dong, I remember that your daughter seems to be the concubine of the Son of Heaven!" Why do you want to help Li Guo and the two thieves? ”
Hearing this, Dong Cheng replied very painfully: "Don't hide it from Lord Cao, I don't want to be in the same league with Li Guo and the two thieves, but when I returned from the defeat of Hedong County, I first met the two thieves Li Guo, if I don't serve the thieves with my body, then I won't live today." ”
After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly had a plan.
Immediately after, Cao Cao said to Dong Cheng: "General Dong, since you are still loyal, then I have one thing that you need to do, if you complete it, then I will let you return to the imperial court, so that you can restore your status as a national relative." ”
As soon as he heard this, Dong Cheng immediately asked, "I don't know what Master Cao wants me to do?" As long as it is within my power, I will never say anything. ”
"It's not difficult, that is, let you take my subordinates back to the Xiliang Army camp to take care of the details."
"What?"
After screaming, Dong Cheng suddenly replied with a bitter face: "Lord Cao, I'm afraid this won't work, I have already been caught by mistake, how can I regain Li Wei's trust?" ”
"General Dong, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this is also a test for you to return to the imperial court, as long as you can pass, I can believe that you are not the work of the Xiliang Army, if not, then I have to order you to die, I believe that no one will know that General Dong died at my hands."
Through Cao Cao's coercion and temptation, Dong Cheng thought hard for a long time and finally agreed to Cao Cao's request.
Immediately, Cao Cao asked Le Jin to take Dong Cheng down first, and he had to plan carefully.
Let's talk about the Xiliang Army's side.
When Li Li and Guo Yan still found nothing after a day of searching, they both returned to the camp.
After waiting for a long time and still not waiting for Dong Cheng to return, Li Dao's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, and he guessed that Dong Cheng might have led his troops to escape, because Dong Cheng was forced to join them.
Seeing that Dong Cheng had not returned for a long time, Li Dao dealt with Dong Cheng's escape, and he immediately ordered the camp to be closed, and he did not tell anyone else about it, because he did not want to shake the morale of the army.
At this time, Cao Cao, after planning all night, finally determined a strategy that could defeat the Xiliang army in one fell swoop.
Subsequently, Cao Cao approached Le Jin and relayed his plan to him.
After listening to Cao Cao's strategy, Le Jin praised it again and again.
Cao Cao only smiled when he heard this, and then he asked Le Jin to go forward and implement the plan.
After receiving the order, Le Jin quickly took his subordinates to change their clothes.
When all the soldiers under Le Jin's command were changed into the military uniforms of the Xiliang Army, Le Jin found Dong Cheng and asked Dong Cheng to follow him out of the city.
After Dong Cheng glanced at the soldiers of the Cao Army who had changed into the uniforms of the Xiliang Army, he went out of the city with a nervous mood.
After following Le Jin for a long time, Dong Cheng suddenly asked, "General, where are we going next?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Just come with me. ”
Seeing that Le Jin was reluctant to answer, Dong Cheng had no choice but to remain silent.
After walking for a while, Le Jin and Dong Cheng finally came to their destination, only to see that this was a small forest.
After stopping in the small forest, Le Jin asked Dong Cheng to make a secret observation according to Cao Cao's request.
At the same time, Cao Cao sent the dead into the Xiliang military camp to deliver the news.
When Li Wei received the news, he suddenly thought to himself: 'This Dong Cheng actually discovered Cao Jun's grain transportation team, it seems that I misunderstood him. ’
Thinking of this, Li Dao hurriedly ordered the whole army to gather.
After receiving the news from Li Wei, Li Li, Jia Xu and Li Ru under his command quickly rushed over, and even Guo Yan did not hesitate.
As several people arrived, Li Wei informed everyone of the letter sent by Dong Cheng.
After listening to Li Wei's words, Jia Xu discovered the strangeness again, but he didn't dare to say anything, because he couldn't figure out the truth of the matter, if the matter was true, then he would kill himself.
As for the others, they didn't see the clues, even Li Ru, because everyone was carried away.
Immediately after, Li Wei left Jia Xu and Li Ru to guard the camp, and he personally led the team to kill Dong Cheng's location.
It didn't take long for Li Dao to take Li Li and Guo Yan to the small forest where Dong Cheng was.
After seeing Dong Cheng, Li Dao immediately asked.
Dong Cheng saw that the main force of the Xiliang Army was attracted to him, and he pretended to be calm and relayed what Le Jin taught him to Li Dao.
Just as Dong Cheng's voice fell, a grain transportation team really appeared in front of Li Dao and others.
Seeing this, Li Dao quickly ordered the whole army to lie down so as not to be exposed.
After observing for a while, Li Dao was very surprised and sighed: "I didn't expect the number of people in this grain transportation team to be so large, it seems that I caught a big fish this time." ”
After sighing, Li Dao immediately praised Dong Cheng a few words.
After hearing this, Dong Cheng was very humble and modest.
