Under the Qingniu Pass, Cao Cao's military camp stretched for ten miles.

After Tai Shici's guards left, Cao Cao's military camp also lit torches.

"Youruo, did you think it would be feasible tonight?"

Cao Cao was indeed suspicious, normally speaking, Dong Cheng was definitely a confidant sent for the first time, and if there was no accident, it would be impossible to change someone else later.

But now, the person who came to deliver the secret letter for the second time was different from the person who came for the first time.

Cao Cao is a suspicious person, and he is naturally very concerned about such an obvious loophole.

"Lord, the time is too short now, and if you want to inquire about the news in the gate, it's too late." Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao suspected in his heart, in fact, the best thing was to send someone to inquire about it.

But in Qinglong Pass, there are all soldiers, and it is very difficult to get in and inquire about the news.

Now in such a short period of time, it is too late to inquire about the news.

Although Cao Cao had contact with Dong Cheng before, it was only through letters.

Even if you send someone into Qingniu Pass, you don't know who to look for.

Tai Shi Ci didn't give Cao Cao much time.

Although Xun Yu is very strategic, time does not allow it now.

It can only be analyzed by guessing, and no evidence can be found.

Whatever the decision, it's possible to make the wrong choice.

Even if Xun Yu is extremely intelligent, there is no guarantee that the most correct decision will be made now.

Unless he can know the situation in the Qingniu Pass.

If Cao Cao Xun Yu knows, Dong Cheng in Qingniu Pass has been placed under house arrest.

No, as long as they know the news of Dong Cheng's illness, they can make a judgment.

But they didn't know anything about the situation in Qingniu Pass.

Even if the news of Dong Cheng's illness was known, only the senior generals knew about it, but the ordinary soldiers below did not know about it.

They are only obedient to the form, and they will obey the orders of whoever the tiger talisman is in their hands.

Cao Cao said: "If you can't be sure, let's count it as the worst." ”

Cao Cao, like Liu Bei, has an adventurous heart.

It's just that when you take risks, the worst possible is calculated in your body.

The worst possible scenario is that after failure, they will lose the most.

In the end, this loss is not acceptable to them.

If it is acceptable, he naturally does not need to hesitate.

If you can't accept it, it's looking at how big the benefits are.

Xun Yu said: "The worst possibility is that tonight is a trap for Tai Shici, there will be a heavy ambush in the Qingniu Pass, and if the lord enters the pass, the whole army will be annihilated." ”

Xun Yu didn't think it was Dong Cheng who broke the contract.

If there is a problem, it must be Dong Cheng who exposed his flaws and was discovered by Tai Shici first.

If Dong Cheng broke the contract, the person who came today must still be the confidant of Dong Cheng before.

Cao Cao said: "If this is a trap, there is a way to calculate it." ”

The result of the annihilation of the whole army is definitely unacceptable to Cao Cao.

If he can't take advantage of it, then he can only give up.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said, "What is the situation in Qingniu Pass, we don't know at all now, if this is a trap, we can't take advantage of it." ”

Cao Cao was a little disappointed, he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

It was hard to convince Dong Cheng that if it was indeed Dong Cheng's person tonight and was not a trap, then Cao Cao missed the perfect opportunity.

"My lord, the last general is willing to personally lead 3,000 people into the customs tonight."

When Cao Cao was hesitating whether to send troops or not, someone in the camp suddenly asked for help.

Cao Cao looked over, but it was Cao Ren, who had saved him from danger many times.

Every time, when it is the most dangerous and difficult, others will retreat, but Cao Ren will definitely not back down.

As Cao Cao's brother, he is also Cao Cao's most trusted disciple of the Cao family.

Cao Cao couldn't accept the annihilation of the whole army, but if it was only 3,000 elite soldiers, he could take a risk.

But the generals who went to war may not be able to come back alive.

The three armies are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find.

Not to mention the 3,000 elite soldiers, even the lives of the 13,000 Cao troops here now, in Cao Cao's eyes, are not worth a Cao Ren.

The reason why the whole army was annihilated was an unacceptable result for Cao Cao.

It was because of the annihilation of 13,000 Cao troops, which meant that Cao Cao would return in vain when he entered Luoyang this time.

This is what Cao Cao can't accept.

If the name of 13,000 Cao Jun can be exchanged for Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will definitely not hesitate.

"You must be careful, if you are trapped, you will withdraw immediately, Miaocai, you will respond outside the customs."

Although he was worried that Cao Ren would not return, it was also difficult for Cao Cao to accept the loss of a Cao Ren.

But this is a battlefield after all, if he dares to choose anything, Cao Cao can directly withdraw his troops and return to Yanzhou now.

Although Cao Ren has a very important position in Cao Cao's heart.

But with the current situation, the loss of one Cao Ren plus three thousand elite soldiers.

For Cao Cao, there is still hope to break through Qingniu Pass and enter Luoyang City.

If the person who came today was indeed sent by Dong Cheng, it was not a trap, and with the cooperation of Cao Ren and three thousand elite soldiers, it would be enough to defeat Tai Shici.

It's just that it is a little difficult to completely annihilate the two thousand elites in the hands of Tai Shici.

Not to mention leaving Tai Shi Ci behind.

In Aoki Pass, Tai Shi Ci has already arranged it.

He didn't know if Cao Cao would come tonight.

But after discussing with Cai Yao, Tai Shici decided to ambush him, and the plan remained unchanged.

Even if Cao Cao saw through it, Tai Shici was not afraid that he would plan it.

Cao Cao didn't come, he would waste a night at most.

But if Cao Cao comes, Tai Shici wants him to come and go.

Dong Cheng has been placed under house arrest, and now in Qingniu Pass, it is Tai Shici who has the final say.

Although the combat power of the Xiliang soldiers is not as good as before.

But it was used to ambush Cao Cao, but there was no problem at all.

It was already night, and Tai Shici was standing on the wall of Qingniu Pass, looking at the lights of Cao Jun not far away.

On the wall, the wind was strong.

The cloak behind Tai Shi Ci hunted.

"Are the brethren ready?"

"It's all ready."

"Good."

Tai Shici's gaze kept falling on Cao Ying in the distance.

In Cao Ying, there are sporadic lights.

Tai Shici still doesn't know if Cao Cao has left the camp.

He may have left the camp and is now in ambush in the woods not far away.

It may also be 13,000 Cao troops, who are now sleeping in the camp.

"General, it's already time."

Chen Lie, the deputy general next to him, said.

"Bring the torches."

Tai Shi Ci held a torch in his hand and drew circles in the air.

Draw three circles in a row, then stop. After a while, three circles were drawn again.

"Go, open and close the door."

"Yes."

Chen Lie took the order.

He was originally in charge of catapults, and he has made a lot of contributions over the years. Now he is Tai Shici's lieutenant general.

After the torch appeared at the head of the wall to transmit the message, Cao Ren, who was hiding in the woods a mile away from the pass, came out of the woods with three thousand elites and rushed towards Qingniu Pass.

Behind him, there were 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Xiahou Yuan, ready to support Cao Ren at any time.
