The book is picked up again.

"Enter!"

"Hah!"

"Enter!"

"Hah!"

After Xu Rong gathered the army in the east of the city, he put up a defensive formation, and in front of the formation of the army outside, every time he shouted, the army stepped forward.

"Stop!"

"Cross!"

After stepping a hundred meters, he immediately stopped the army, and then sent dozens of scouts to the front of the detectives.

After a while, the scouts returned

"Dada...... Sigh! ”

After they turned over and dismounted, they immediately reported to Xu Rongyu: "General Qiyu, after my investigation, there are no enemies or organs within 100 meters ahead!" ”

"Hmm." Xu Rong was satisfied when he heard this, nodded and then waved the long knife in his hand and roared loudly: "Enter!" ”

"Hah!" The tens of thousands of troops behind him immediately shouted as they heard his order, and at the same time took a step forward.

"Enter!"

"Hah!"

"Enter!"

"Hah!"

“……”

After a while, they advanced another hundred meters, and then, Xu Rong continued to let the probe horse to investigate, and the result of the exploration was the same as just now, so Xu Rong led people to continue to march.

After going back and forth like this dozens of times, the sky gradually darkened, and they also came to the center of Chang'an City.

Xu Rong looked up, looked at the sky, and then ordered the herald: "Pass my military order, order the whole army to be stationed, and order the 20,000 people in the front army to be divided into two armies, one army sleeps, and the other army guards against the enemy, and then rotates after midnight!" ”

That's right, for the sake of prudence, Xu Rong doesn't plan to continue advancing.

Now the sky has gradually darkened, and the darkness is the enemy's best cover, if he continues to advance, I am afraid that something will happen, so he plans to continue to sweep the enemy tomorrow morning.

And for the sake of insurance, he also had 20,000 people take turns to keep vigil, so that even if the enemy suddenly attacks, they will not be able to help them.

After all, there are only a few thousand enemies left, and no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to break through the defense of 10,000 people in a short time!

Xu Rong could already be sure that there were no enemies behind them, and the enemies were all in front of them, so his arrangement could be called seamless, even if the enemy suddenly attacked or had some means, it was impossible to cause them too much damage.

Just when they were encamped, Li Ru also hurriedly came here and asked Xu Rong, "Why don't you continue to advance?" But the enemy that was discovered? ”

"No enemy found" Xu Rong shook his head, and then told Li Ru his thoughts.

"That's fine" Li Ru heard this, although he felt that Xu Rong was making a fuss, but he also appreciated Xu Rong's caution.

After all, this is not the same as in the past, they really don't have too many troops to waste, and it is always good to be cautious.

So after nodding his head, he advised: "But you must set up your defenses, the enemy is likely to attack while it is dark." ”

"Please rest assured, the subordinates have already prepared!" After finishing speaking, Xu Rong told all the defense arrangements he had arranged

Li Ru.

"Not bad!" After listening to this, Li Ru nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "You have done a very good job, after this war epidemic, a certain family will definitely ask for credit to the lord for you." ”

After Xu Rong heard this, he immediately changed his salute to this Li Ru, and said modestly: "The military is falsely praised, this is all because of the military master's clever calculations to easily capture Chang'an City, and his subordinates are just acting according to orders, what is the credit?" ”

"Hehe......" Li Ru chuckled lightly when he heard this, didn't say anything, and patted him on the shoulder again, then turned around and wandered back and forth in the camp, he wanted to take a good look at whether Xu Rong's arrangement was rigorous.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but nodded, although the military formation arranged by Xu Rong was biased towards defense, it was defense-oriented and attacking!

Once the enemy appears, they can immediately turn their hands into attack after blocking the enemy's first attack, and annihilate the enemy in an instant!

According to the situation at this moment, such a formation is indeed very appropriate, which shows that Xu Rong is really attentive.

After looking around for a long time, Li Ru also put his mind at ease, and after saying "goodbye" to Xu Rong, he turned around and walked towards Ji's tent.

Now that everything has been arranged, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief and sleep peacefully.

In the past few days, in order to deal with the changes in Chang'an City, he has racked his brains, and he almost fainted several times!

Although it is not yet time to completely relax, the overall situation has been decided, and he does not have to worry and worry as much as he did a few days ago.

……

Midnight......

After entering midnight, the entire Chang'an City was quiet, and only a few insects were chirping there.

The weather tonight was very strange, the moon was shining brightly in the first half of the night, but after midnight, several clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the bright moon in the sky, and plunging the entire Chang'an City into darkness......

......Most of Dong Zhuo's army had already fallen asleep, leaving only the 10,000 soldiers who were still patrolling and wandering back and forth.

They walked in order, with torches and weapons in hand, and looked in all directions alertly, for fear that a group of enemies would suddenly pop up.

Xu Rong had already warned them that there were still thousands of enemies in the city, and if they didn't cheer up, they would probably be attacked by the enemy!

So when these people are on patrol, they don't care if they are sleepy or not. They all looked around vigilantly, for fear of a surprise attack by the enemy.

The main direction of their vigilance was in front of them, because the rear was swept by them as early as daylight, and there could never be an enemy, who could only appear in the dwellings in front of them!

However, in a dungeon behind them, which they couldn't see, two people were chatting with interest.

"Brother Xingzhi, how did you know about this underground palace? Did you dig this dungeon? Cao Cao took Li Zhi and the others to walk in this huge underground palace and asked curiously.

"Hehe......" Li Zhi heard this, and after chuckling, he took Cao Cao to a place at the end of the dungeon that seemed to be a prison, and said, "Brother Meng De, guess who was originally locked up here?" ”

"Ever locked up people here?" After Cao Cao asked curiously, he watched back and forth in prison.

"Huh? This is?! After looking at it for a while, he suddenly bent down in the corner of the wall and picked up a jade pendant, and his face became very stunned.

After playing with the jade pendant for a while, he turned his head and asked with a smile: "Brother Xingzhixian, it was either Liu Wei or Liu Xie who was originally locked up here, is it right for my brother?" ”

Although Cao Cao was asking, his face was full of determination.

"Huh?" Now the people arrived at Li Zhi was surprised, he didn't expect Cao Cao to immediately guess who was being held here.

However, after he saw the jade pendant in Cao Cao's hand, he immediately realized it and said, "It turns out that Brother Meng De has picked up this jade pendant, no wonder." ”

Speaking of this, he took the jade pendant from Cao Cao's hand and played with it for a while, then sighed and said with some emotion: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen this jade pendant for many years."

When I first saw this jade pendant, I was still a fledgling hairy boy, and the owner of this jade pendant was the supreme in the world!

Now, he has become famous in the next, and the descendants of this jade pendant have become prisoners, which is really impermanent! ”

"Alas......" After Cao Cao heard this, he also sighed softly, his eyes were a little confused, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the whole prison fell silent.

The owner of this jade pendant is none other than Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty!

And after Liu Hong died, he handed over this jade pendant to his eldest son Liu Wei.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao, after seeing this jade pendant, was sure that the person who was locked up here was either Liu Wei or Liu Xie.

Because no one else deserves to wear this jade pendant except these two!

After the two were silent for a while, Guo Jia, who was following behind the two, suddenly spoke: "Lord, brother." Now is not the time to reminisce about the old days, so let's hurry up and prepare for a sneak attack on the enemy! ”

"That's right!" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Now is indeed not the time to be sad and sad, I can't defeat Dong Zhuo quickly, then I can't say that I will end up with this jade pendant master!"

So I'll wait until I win this battle before I talk about anything else. ”

"......" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

In fact, after he came to Chang'an, he blocked all news about Liu Biao.

Because he didn't want Cao Cao to guess that he was trying to save face for Cao Cao, he deliberately kept Liu Biao.

Cao Cao is very strong, once he knows that Li Zhi deliberately let him, then his proud heart will definitely not be able to stand it, and he may be angry because of it.

Therefore, after Li Zhi came to Chang'an, he told Cao Cao that Luoyang was trying his best to resist Liu Biao, and he did not mention the capture of Liu Biao.

And Cao Cao trusted Li Zhi very much, and after hearing Li Zhi's narration, he immediately believed it, which is why he was so anxious to defeat Dong Zhuo, because only by defeating Dong Zhuo could they have the strength to return to Luoyang.

To tell the truth, Li Zhi was very moved by Cao Cao's practice of using the fastest speed to rescue Luoyang even if he was desperately losing his troops, and he felt guilty for his concealment.

But then Li Zhi figured it out, this is just a white lie, as long as Cao Cao wins here, it won't be long before there will be good news from Luoyang!

In this way, it won't be long before they can solve the battle. Dominate the world!

So. After hesitating for a while, Li Zhi finally did not tell the truth.
