After taking Yanzhou, Liu Yu can copy Yuan Shao in the north, march into Yuzhou and Xuchang in the south, and plot Xuzhou in the east, and the entire north and the Central Plains will all fall into his own hands. Even if someone objected, they wouldn't be able to show that strength.

Liu Yu was looking forward to the future, and Gao Shun came to say, "Lord, something is wrong with Puyang City. There are no soldiers guarding the city wall, which is a bit weird. ”

When Liu Yu heard this, his thoughts returned to reality, and he began to look at Puyang City carefully. As Gao Shun said, the Puyang city wall is really not guarded by a single soldier.

Liu Yu felt that something was wrong, his army was pointing directly at Puyang, Xiahou Yuan had led troops to stop it before, and now Liu Yu's soldiers were coming to the city, there was no reason why Puyang City didn't have a single soldier, this was really a little wrong.

Is it an empty city plan? Liu Yu was very suspicious.

"Lord, are you going to attack?" Gao Shun asked Liu Yudao.

Liu Yu said affirmatively: "Of course, when you come here, how can you do it without attacking." However, Puyang City seems to be very weird, and our army still needs to pay attention. Let the archers shoot three rounds first. ”

Gao Shun went down to arrange for the archers to shoot, and the archers rained down on Puyang City to shoot three rounds of arrow rain, but Puyang City still didn't react at all.

Liu Yu said leisurely: "Infantry forward, remember to be careful. ”

Gao Shun nodded fiercely.

Under Liu Yu's order, the Gaoshun infantry officers approached the city wall in full armor. Zhao Yun led the cavalry to cover behind the infantry to prevent an emergency.

Gao Shun was very nervous, he didn't know if a large number of Cao troops would suddenly appear on the Puyang city wall, and now he was staring at the city wall.

Just as the infantry was about to approach the city wall, the gates of Puyang City were opened.

"All on alert!" Gao Shun was taken aback.

From the city gate, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled Cao soldiers came out, and they sent a man to Gao Shun to tell the reason.

Gao Shun hurriedly told Liu Yu the news, that is, Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan had already left Puyang with his men and horses, and he didn't know where to go. And these old, weak, sick and disabled people were abandoned here because the Xiahou brothers couldn't take them away. They knew that they couldn't stop Liu Yu, so they simply opened the city and surrendered.

Liu Yu was thundered, and this Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were too unambitious, and they hadn't beaten Liu yet.

It was impossible for Liu Yu to embarrass these old, weak, sick and disabled Cao Jun, but Liu Yu still kept an eye on it, and first sent the vanguard into Puyang to explore the truth and reality, and then entered Puyang in batches.

The battle on the battlefield is not tired of deceit, Liu Yu felt that he had better be careful, so as not to fall into the conspiracy of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.

However, the vanguard brought back to Puyang, everything was normal, there was no abnormality, not even the flammable materials such as oil and sulfur that Liu Yu was most worried about.

That's weird. This Xiahou brother won't really retreat like this.

Liu Yu's troops searched Puyang and found nothing except some civilians.

In the end, Liu Yu could only believe that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had really evacuated, and it was not bad to take Puyang without blood.

There was no danger, Liu Yu arranged for the army to be stationed in Puyang, and he lived in the state residence of Puyang City.

And in the valley not far away, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan hid here with a large number of Cao troops.

"Yuan Rang, can your plan work? We've been here for many days, and if that fails, Yanzhou is finished. Xiahou Yuan said a little worriedly.

Xiahoudun said confidently: "Miaocai, you can rest assured." I promise there are no problems at all. ”

It turned out that Xiahoudun deliberately gave up Puyang City, and he did so for a purpose. He thought about capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and used a strategy to kill Liu Yu. And this strategy is to attack with fire.

Xiahoudun arranged for Xiahouyuan to stop Liu Yu before, just to buy time for this strategy. He had already dug several secret passages in Puyang City, and dug several large holes in the underground of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, which were filled with a large amount of sulfur and oil, and arranged for a few dead soldiers to hide inside, and when Liu Yu entered, he set them on fire, preparing to burn Liu Yu alive. In the end, after Xiahoudun saw the fire, he led the Cao army hidden in the valley to recapture Puyang through the secret passage, and solved Liu Yu's henchman in one fell swoop.

"As long as Liu Yu dies and the dragons are leaderless, our army can reverse the situation, regain the lost territory, and even plot Luoyang." Xiahoudun said with confidence.

Xiahou Yuan also hopes that the plan will succeed, and now that it has reached this point, he can only go on according to Xiahou Yuan's wishes.

That night, after Liu Yu took care of some official business, he lay down and went to sleep. I don't know how long I slept, and a loud noise woke Liu Yu up.

Liu Yu, who was sleepy-eyed, suddenly found himself in a sea of fire. The intense burning sensation made Liu Yu sober up all of a sudden, and he knew that he had fallen for someone else's conspiracy.

Liu Yu quickly stood up, picked up the snake slashing sword that he had been carrying with him, and jumped out of bed with a jump. Liu Yu had just jumped out, and a beam on fire smashed directly into the bed, and if Liu Yu slowed down, he would die there.

Liu Yu didn't have time to think about anything else, the smoke choked him uncomfortably, the whole room was on fire, and if he didn't run out, he would become a roast pig.

With the sharpness of the snake sword, Liu Yu split the door and found that there were also flames outside, and there were several charred corpses on the ground, these were Liu Yu's guards, and they were burned to death before they could inform Liu Yu to escape.

Liu Yu heard someone shouting to him in the distance, and hurriedly followed the sound, but the fire rushed to the sky, blocking Liu Yu's way out.

Liu Yu's mind began to dizzy, and he knew that it was because of the lack of oxygen supply to the brain caused by lack of oxygen. Liu Yu's hair was scorched, and at the same time, the clothes on his body were also stained with flames, and Liu Yu hurriedly took off his clothes.

Liu Yu, who was naked, couldn't find a way out, there was fire all around, and scolded sadly: "Lao Tzu actually ended up like this." Lao Tzu doesn't want to die! How could Lao Tzu die here! ”

Suddenly, Liu Yu, who was sad and angry, saw a water tank and said excitedly: "There is no endless road." Thank God for taking care of you! ”

Liu Yu opened the water tank and saw that it was full of water, so he immediately hid in, shrunk into a ball with the snake sword, and then closed the water tank. The fire inside the house kept burning, and Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, who were outside the governor's mansion, were so anxious that they kept arranging soldiers to pour water to put out the fire. Liu Yu didn't come out inside, and there was no way to save him from such a big fire.

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "General Gao, this time it must be the trick of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan. Thinking that they would definitely have a backhand, General Gao was asked to go and organize the troops and horses immediately, so as not to give them an opportunity to take advantage of. The lord's side will be handed over to the subordinates, and the lords will definitely be rescued below. ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he instantly understood, and arched his hand and said, "Zilong, the lord will be handed over to you." ”

Gao Shun rushed down to organize his troops and horses, and he didn't want to suffer a big defeat because of this.

And Zhao Yun took off all his armor, poured a lot of water on his body, and rushed into the sea of fire with a spear.
