Chapter Twenty-Four: Counting is Counting

Cao Cao is hesitant in Zhongzheng, how can he break through his Puyang.

Someone outside came to report, "Lord, the rich Toda clan of Puyang City has sent someone to come, and there is something important to report?" ”

Cao Cao looked puzzled, "Call him in!" ”

The man came to Cao Cao and presented a secret letter, "Lu Bu is cruel and unkind, the people are very resentful, my lord has been persecuted by him for a long time, and today he sent me to deliver a letter to you, and the letter has been written in full. ”

Cao Cao took the letter and read what it was written. frowned, and immediately convened all the soldiers to discuss.

The soldiers took the letters and read them one by one.

Cao Cao said: "As mentioned in the letter, Lu Bu has gone to Liyang, and the city is empty. What do the soldiers think? ”

Shi Yue was incredulous after reading the letter, didn't he use this trick himself? Lu Bu has already suffered a loss, and the other party should not be using it. Why? Why did Chen Gong do it again?

Liu Ye said: "There must be fraud in this, if the lord goes, I am afraid that he will be ambushed by the enemy." If the lord goes, he must divide into three armies, two of which will meet outside the city, and one of them will enter the city. ”

Xun Yu said on the side: "This plan is no different from what we used for Lu Bu, don't forget it." ”

Cao Cao said: "I haven't forgotten, but I wonder why the same plan came out again, could it be true that it was written in the letter, when it is so, I am entangled in this, and I ask you." ”

Cao Ren said: "If it is really the same plan we used before, it will be meaningless to go, and it will be a loss to the army." It's better not to go! ”

Cao Cao said: "If I don't enter the tiger's den, I will get the tiger, if I miss this time, I don't know when the next opportunity to learn about Puyang." I'm definitely going to go, and this time I'm going to bring more soldiers and horses to go just in case. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao took the generals into three armies and came to Puyang City.

Cao Cao looked up, on the sword city wall, the flags were everywhere, only on the corner of the West Gate, there was a white flag, and there was a word "righteousness" on it.

Cao Cao said: "That's a code, I'll wait." ”

At noon, the gates opened.

Two soldiers in Puyang City led the troops out to meet Cao Cao, and the two generals who came were Hou Cheng of the former army and Gao Shun of the rear army.

Cao Cao thought to himself that Lu Bu was not there, just these two people were fearless, "Dian Wei! Cao Cao ordered Dian Wei to go to war against Hou Cheng.

Hou Chengce immediately went to Zhan Dian Wei, "Who is coming!" Hou Cheng asked, Dian Wei didn't pay attention to the other party at all, holding a double halberd, riding a horse and rushing away, the momentum was fierce, Hou Cheng was still fighting, he felt that he couldn't win, Hou Cheng waved his knife away, Dian Wei single-handed halberd, directly knocked down the attack, Hou Cheng was shocked, what a strength, Dian Wei came with a halberd at the moment, Hou Cheng was almost hit, barely dodged, Dian Wei was brave, Hou Cheng was difficult to beat, Dian Wei waved the double halberd, and Hou Cheng had no power to fight back, looking at the city and fleeing.

Gao Shun saw it, and stepped forward to fight, "Gao Shun came to fight!" Gao Shun is brave and fearless, not afraid of Dian Wei, Dian Wei far away from the halberd thrown, Gao Shun knocked down, the long soldier stabbed to Dian Wei, Dian Wei took a halberd from behind, the double halberd clamped Gao Shun's long soldiers, Gao Shun stabbed can't, pull the long soldiers out, Dian Wei cut off, Gao Shun can only defend, after which he was completely suppressed, Gao Shun saw that he was not only invincible, but also would die at any time, so he found a gap, turned around, and retreated.

Just now, the two armies were fighting, and some soldiers took advantage of the chaos to mix in front of the formation, came to Cao's army, and sent a letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said to the crowd: "If you have a letter to report, at the beginning of tonight, the gong will be sounded in the city, and you can attack the city." This may be true or false, and we need to be prepared and beware of it. ”

The more Shi Yue thought about it, the more outrageous it became, it must be fake, but what good is it for the other party to do this, everyone loses troops together, and we know that we will be on guard with all our might, why do you still want to do this? Shi Yue's mind flashed, it seemed that he had thought of something, could it be so?

Shi Yue immediately stepped forward to dissuade him: "Lord, no!" The other party must be fake, it must be Chen Gong's plan, there must be an ambush inside, Zhang Liao Zangba and others must wait in it, and we will be attacked by the enemy when we go in, and in the end, we will not be able to attack. ”

Cao Cao said: "I expected that even if we can't attack it, we will be able to retreat from the current situation." If it's true, it's hard to say. ”

Shi Yue: "No! This is the enemy's plan, Lu Bu is definitely not in the city at this time, our army is wantonly dispatched, Lu Bu is very likely to sneak attack us and wait for Yanzhou to go! Yanzhou is so empty, if you can't attack Puyang, and lose Yanzhou, it's over! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Cao Cao also seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the problem, "What General Pan Feng said is very true, Yanzhou cannot be lost, but Puyang still has to be attacked, since this is the case, General Pan Feng will lead the army back to support and defend Yanzhou, and Yanzhou must not be lost!" Cao Cao ordered Pan Fengdao.

Me again? Or is it a person? It's for a person, you don't need so many fierce generals here, give me Dian Wei, don't be so stingy?

Cao Cao didn't say anything else, Shi Yue could only agree, and immediately led the army back to Yanzhou.

LΓΌ Bu led the army from the small road and rushed to Yanzhou, avoiding Cao Cao's army.

Lu Buyan said: "The plan of the public platform, sure enough, Cao Cao does not want to miss the opportunity, he will definitely lead the army forward, even if he knows that it is an ambush, he must go, and he will definitely go out to fight in case of accidents." Now that Yanzhou is empty and careless, it is the best opportunity. If Yanzhou is captured, Cao Cao has nowhere to go. ”

LΓΌ Bu's army had approached Yanzhou, waiting for the dead of night before making a sneak attack.

Shi Yue led the army to rush all the time at this time, just to be able to intercept Lu Bu's raid on Yanzhou as soon as possible, at this time, the defense in the city was empty, and there were many troops, so it might be difficult to prevent it.

In the middle of the night, Lu Bu led his army to rush to Yanzhou City. "Follow me!" Hurry up and rush to the city.

At this time, on the city wall, countless archers suddenly appeared, facing Lu Bu's army below, firing arrows together, Lu Bu and the others never expected that the other party had already laid an ambush, and exclaimed: "How can this be!" ”

The night was deep and dark, and under the chaotic arrows, everyone could not advance.

On the city wall, a fierce general commanded all the soldiers to send arrows, this person was Cao Cao's subordinate Xiahou Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time at this time.

Xiahou Yuan said to a weak man on the side: "What Mr. Fengxiao said is really not bad, Lu Bu really came to attack Yanzhou!" ”

This person is Guo Jia, he has long seen through the enemy's plan, Guo Jia covered his nose and coughed a few times, "The plan is the plan, and the plan of Chen Gong is also." We can do the same. Then he coughed a few more times.

Xiahou Yuan said worriedly: "The wind is strong in the middle of the night, sir, please go back and rest, I will guard this place, and I will definitely not let Lu Bu attack!" ”

Guo Jia's eyes were very deep, "No, it's not time yet, I still have to stay, I can't go back yet......"
