429. Project Moth

Liu Bei dismissed everyone and left Jia Xu alone, and then the two came to Liu Bei's study. After sitting down, Liu Bei asked: "Wen He seems to have something to say just now, I wonder if there is a way to break the enemy?" ”

"Enlighten the lord, there is no good way. However, the city of Taishan was too fast, and many of the shadows in the city did not have time to withdraw, so they were trapped inside. So the minister thought that he would not let them evacuate at all, but instead send some more people in. ”

Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, and said, "Wen He, what do you want to say?" Why can't Lone understand! ”

"Lord, please look!" Jia Xu said as he took out a note from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei took it and unfolded it, on it was Han Fei's handwriting, and there were only a few sentences in total: At the turn of summer and autumn, if you light a bonfire in the wild at night, there will be countless moths rushing straight to the fire, knowing that they will be buried in the fire, but they still do not hesitate. Now I guess that Cao Cao will inevitably lead a large army to attack Mount Tai or Langya, and then go straight to Changyi City. Gu I asked Wen He to persuade the lord to carry out the moth plan, and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop at the cost of his life, when he was lax after his great victory. If Cao Cao dies, the Cao army will be leaderless, and I will lead the army to block the back road, and all his army can be left in the land of Qingzhou.

Liu Bei's face was cloudy after reading it, and the moth plan was a clever plan. But the problem is that nine times out of ten, those who participate in the project will die under the blade. Liu Bei looked up at Jia Xu, his eyes full of inquiry. Jia Xu nodded at Liu Bei, and then said in a low voice: "Lord, as the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the two departments of Shadow and Dark Sword have been established for a long time, and Lord Sun Qian has complained more than once about the money, food, and tools used on weekdays. This time, the two parts should make a contribution. If this plan succeeds, the strong enemy will be destroyed in an instant! There is hope for the unification of the world! ”

"The world is unified!" Liu Bei listened to Jia Xu's words and couldn't help but look at him in shock. In the secret box next to his bed, there was a jade seal imitated with gold, which Zhang Fei found from Cao Cao's dead ghost father's belongings that day. Except for Zhang Fei, no one else knew about this matter. Whenever in the dead of night, Liu Bei would take out the jade seal and play with it, dreaming that he would one day sit in that position. Today's Jia Xu's words inadvertently tugged at Liu Bei's heartstrings and made him no longer calm.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Wen He, how many people are you going to dispatch?" ”

Jia Xu showed a trace of helplessness on his face when he heard this, and he sighed and said, "Lord, I am going to send all the shadows and dark sword departments of Changyi City to carry out this moth plan. I mean if you don't move, you just move a big one. ”

Liu Bei felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, but he immediately made up his mind and said: "In this case, I don't need to keep people in the Qi Palace, I will hand over all the Dark Sword Department to you, but I have a request, you have to ask if someone is unwilling to go, then let him stay!" ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he immediately nodded in agreement. This matter was a top priority, so Jia Xu did not stay too long and immediately left the Qi Palace, and then returned to his own mansion.

As soon as he returned, Jia Xu ordered all the leaders of the Shadow and Dark Sword to come to the mansion for a meeting. Although Liu Bei said that there was no need to keep people in the palace of King Qi, Jia Xu would not really do this. After leaving a team of dark swords to protect Liu Bei, all the remaining people were sent by him to Taishan City.

This time the leader of the team was Shi A, the commander of the Dark Sword Department. After the death of his only apprentice, Sun Wu, Shi Ah was furious. After learning that Sun Wu died at the hands of Cao Jun's hidden evil, Shi Ah held back his strength to avenge his apprentice! There will definitely be hidden evil people around Cao Cao, so Shi A personally attacked this time He wanted to kill all the hidden evil over there, and he came here to pay tribute to his apprentice Sun Wu.

Without further ado, the people of Darksword and Shadow left Changyi City that night and went straight to Taishan City. Although Cao Cao took Taishan City, Zang Ba fled to the Taishan camp, where he regrouped and soon gathered 10,000 people. Moreover, the Taishan camp was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly.

Cao Cao sent people to recruit Zang Ba and prepared a large army. If Zang Ba doesn't know how to lift, then there is only a strong attack. As a result, Zang Ba directly beheaded the envoy sent by Cao Cao, and his head was hung outside the door of the camp. Cao Cao was furious when he heard the news and immediately sent a large army to conquer it. However, after a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses, but Cao's army was not able to take the Taishan camp.

For three consecutive days, Cao's army attacked every day, but still did not take the Taishan camp. However, at this time, there are not many soldiers left in the camp of Mount Tai, and if the reinforcements do not come again, the camp will not be able to hold it. At this time, Zhuge Liang led the reinforcements to arrive, and this time Zhuge Liang brought half of the crossbows in Changyi City, a full 3,000. As soon as the crossbow came out, Cao Jun was immediately defeated, and after throwing down four or five thousand corpses, Cao Jun retreated to Taishan City.

Zhuge Liang also took advantage of the situation to bring people into the camp of Mount Tai. When Zang Ba learned that reinforcements were coming, he was immediately relieved. With this 10,000-strong force, Zang Ba was absolutely confident that he would crucify Cao Cao's large army in Mount Tai City.

Cao Cao's side was worried, he had already learned of Han Fei's move, if his side could not capture Changyi City for a long time, then this operation would be considered a failure. I'm afraid that this Taishan City will not be kept in his own hands. But if you take the risk and win, it's good to win, but if you lose, you will put yourself in danger! Finally, Cao Cao decided that he was desperate to ignore Zang Ba of the Taishan camp and directly lead the army to attack Changyi City.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao walked to the barracks with a team of personal guards. When Cao Cao and his party came to the street, suddenly several sharp arrows rushed towards Cao **, who was riding on a horse. Cao Cao's personal guards desperately protected them, so that all the sharp arrows did not hit. However, at this time, more than a hundred black-clothed people rushed out of the street with swords and rushed towards Cao Cao and the surviving guards.

Cao Cao was so shocked that he immediately wanted to turn his horse and escape. However, at this time, the black-clothed people came from all directions, leaving no retreat for Cao Cao at all. Xu Chu's eyes were red, and he waved the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Lord, you follow behind a certain family, I will protect you to kill you!" ”

After Xu Chu finished speaking, he ran in one direction and killed him, and Cao Cao's personal guards also took weapons to resist the attack of the man in black, buying time for Cao Cao to evacuate. Xu Chu killed more than a dozen people in a row with a big knife, but the man in black was not afraid of death, and when he died, others made up for it. Xu Chu killed quickly, but there were more later, and the fight was not long, and Xu Chu had already hung up on his body.
