"How's it going, are you ready?" In the dim corner, Wei Xu's voice sounded.

"Well, the soldiers of the eastern wall are all under the control of my guards. Hou Cheng, what about you? Song Xian said first.

"It's the same with the western wall." Hou Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Good!" Wei Xu's eyes flashed: "The northern city wall is now completely under my control, so we only need to control Lu Bu and Chen Gong again, and we can directly welcome Cao Gong's arrival." ”

Hou Cheng looked at the slowly sinking sea water under the city and the ground that was gradually exposed, and said softly: "Cao Gong has not given us much time, before the sea water completely recedes, we must take down Lu Bu and the others, why don't we act tonight!" ”

Wei Xu nodded lightly: "Lu Bu should have fallen asleep drunk under the service of the Wang family now, and Chen Gong should be dealing with government affairs at this time, and it is the time for me to do it." Song Xian, you send a team of personal soldiers to use drugs to confuse Chen Gong and tie him up. Hou Cheng, you also transfer a team of personal soldiers to deal with Lu Bu with the three of us. ”

"Good!" Song Xian and Hou Cheng nodded in unison. Lu Bu's terror was most clear to their subordinates, even if they didn't have the Red Rabbit Horse and Fang Tian's Halberd, it was not something they could deal with. Fortunately, Lu Bu was already dazed at this time, and dozens of people could still be restrained after being tied up. After all, Lu Bu's strength has not reached Xiang Yu's level.

However, they did not know that in the corner of the house, a lifeless figure as if it was a stone suddenly opened its eyes. However, the surrounding Wei Xu's personal soldiers who were guarding this place all turned a blind eye to it, as if they didn't see it. The figure hidden outside the house slowly retreated along the blind corner of the soldier's line of sight, ready to inform Chen Gong of the matter.

In the temporary government affairs hall of the south city wall, Chen Gong handled government affairs here as Wei Xu expected. Since the southern city wall was the direction of Cao Mengde's main attack, in order to respond in time, Lu Bu and Chen Gong were both guarding here. These days, the water level in the city is gradually decreasing, and it is expected that the sea will completely recede in less than one day. In this regard, Chen Gong was both happy and full of vigilance, because he knew that Cao Cao's actions were definitely not kind, but had another backhand.

As he thought, water warfare was not what Cao Cao was good at, and it was far inferior to the naval army under Gan Ning. Moreover, the march of the Ganning naval army was extremely fast, and if the excavated coast was not blocked, it would be easy for Ganning to take advantage of it at that time.

After Gan Ning and the others who were wandering near the coastline found out about this, Zhou Yu quickly realized that Cao Cao might be about to make a move, and had already secretly worked with Zhao Yun with the help of Gan Ning's sailors, leading five thousand iron horsemen to the shore of a coast, ready to rescue Lu Bu. However, because Cao Cao's spies near Huangxian were too dense, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun did not dare to get too close.

While Chen Gong was concentrating on government affairs, the spies who had just eavesdropped outside Wei Xu and the others' house quietly came in through the window and knelt down in front of Chen Gong.

Seeing the person in front of him, Chen Gong put down the pen and paper in his hand with a heavy face, and said slowly: "They really took this step?" ”

The person below nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng are ready to start tonight. ”

Chen Gong sighed lightly, and said inexplicably: "Inform the lord that Wei Xu and the others have rebelled, and they can prepare to close the net." ”

"Yes!"

After the person in front of him left, Chen Gong turned around, looked at the letter placed on the side of the table, his face was inexplicable, and he muttered with a little shame: "Lord, don't blame me for choosing for you, Cao Mengde is not the master." No matter what, I'll do my best to save your life! ”

After the spies were instructed by Chen Gong, they directly avoided all the soldiers and ran directly to the city tower where Lu Bu was.

In the city tower, Lu Bu did not drink and have fun as usual, although he was still enjoying the Wang family dancing to the music, but the wine glass on the table did not move at all. When he saw the spies appear in the house, Lu Bu's face instantly turned ugly, and he said in a difficult tone: "Is he serious? ”

The spy nodded, and then said, "Does the lord need to verify?" ”

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, Chen Gongtai never deceived me, what's the point of verifying it again?" ”

When Chen Gong had just told him a few days ago that Wei Xu had colluded with Cao Cao to plot rebellion, Lu Bu's face was full of disbelief. Because Wei Xu is the person he trusts and treats favorably the most, he is suspicious and wary of all the generals, but for this brother-in-law, he never doubts and relies on it, even if his ability is insufficient, he takes more care of it, and sets his position above the generals. But now the one who took the lead in betraying him was precisely the person he least suspected.

But it was impossible for Lu Bu not to believe it, because compared to Wei Xu, he believed in Chen Gong's personality more. Chen Gong never lied, and even in that case, Chen Gong did not let himself immediately take down Wei Xu for questioning, but said that he had no solid evidence, and asked Lu Bu to wait for a while, and when he showed his feet, Lu Bu personally verified it.

Originally, according to Chen Gong's plan, Lu Bu at this time should act in a play, pretend to be drunk, and see if Wei Xu and the others would come with a knife rope. As long as Lu Bu is on guard, not to mention Wei Xu and the others, even thousands of soldiers together can still be leveled.

But now, Lu Bu has extinguished the desire to verify in his heart, and he is unwilling to deceive himself anymore.

"Let's go!" Lu Bu's majestic body slowly stood up, took the Fang Tian painting halberd on the right shelf in his hand, and walked out gently.

Wang, who was dancing, was pale at this time, and secretly glanced at the accompanying maid beside him. The maid understood and sneaked out. These accompanying maids were all sent to serve with Wang's marriage to Wang Yun, and they were all proficient in music theory and dance, and they were loyal to Wang.

When the maid went out, she saw her walking to a remote corner of the city wall, where there was a guard who seemed to be lazy. When he saw the maid's arrival, his face was shocked, and after the two sides spoke, the soldiers defending the city immediately picked up the bow and arrow behind him, ignited the flammable material on the arrow, and then shot it into the sky with force. In the dim night sky, a little firelight suddenly crossed by, and it looked so conspicuous.

Wei Xu, who was coming to the north city wall with his personal guards in the city, and Cao Cao, who was overlooking Huang County outside the city, saw this, and their faces changed in unison.

After the archer shot the fire arrow, he was slightly relieved to see it streak across the night sky. But then his body suddenly stiffened, and his face showed cold sweat, because at some point, he was standing around him, and Chen Gongzheng, who was behind the soldiers, looked at him and the equally panicked maid beside him with a sneer.

"Arrest these two and interrogate them severely!" Chen Gong said coldly with an expressionless face.

"Yes!" The surrounding soldiers said in unison.
