Liu Bei listened to Chen Gong's words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If this is the case, the big thing can be decided!" Yun Chang, go and arrange an ambush for the sergeant according to the plan of the public platform! ”

"Yes, big brother!"

Guan Yu took the order and left, and Liu Bei asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, let's go and prepare for an ambush." ”

Chen Gong waved his hand and said, "No, if we all leave the West Gate, it will definitely arouse Cao Cao's suspicion, and he will not be fooled." ”

Liu Bei nodded, agreeing with Chen Gong's words, but asked, "Then what are we going to do now?" ”

"You don't need to do anything, just wait and see from the top of the city, so that Cao Bing can see us, and that's it." Chen Gong said.

Liu Bei nodded, immediately stood up, and walked to the battlements to look, with an anxious look on his face, which was clearly seen by the Cao Cao soldiers under the city.

Seeing this, the sergeant hurriedly rushed back to Cao Cao's camp and told Cao Cao everything he saw.

After Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "Liu Bei Zhongwu has a plan, and he will take Chen Liu tonight!" ”

The generals next to him looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Cao Cao's gourd, and finally Xiahoudun stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what Liu Bei's plan is for the lord?" ”

Cao Cao laughed again, in a very good mood, and explained: "I went around Chen Liucheng and observed that the color of the city wall at the east gate is different from other places, it must be a new place, easy to break, and the moat at the east gate is not as wide as in other directions, just take a high ladder, you can pass over the wall." ”

"In that case, why did the lord send troops against Simon? Isn't this a waste of troops? Xiahou asked puzzled.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "This is exactly what I am trying to do!" ”

When Xiahou heard this, he immediately understood, and said: "Then Liu Bei mistakenly thought that the lord was going to attack the West Gate, and the generals and soldiers were mobilized in the past, but in the evening, our army went to attack the East Gate, so that Liu Bei would definitely be able to take Liu Bei by surprise, and he could take the opportunity to capture Chen Liucheng!" ”

"Yuan Rang is right, that's right!" Cao Cao laughed.

Cheng Yu next to him frowned and said, "Lord, that Chen Gong has always been resourceful, what if he sees through the lord's plan?" ”

Before Cao Cao could speak, Xiahoudun preemptively said, "Why should Zhongde worry? Didn't the sergeant say it just now, Liu Bei and Chen Gong were still on the wall of the West Gate, looking anxious, how could they see through the lord's strategy? ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yes, then Liu Bei is now tired of dealing with the attack of Ximen, and he has no heart to think about anything else." ”

Although Cheng Yu felt that something was wrong, the words of Xiahoudun and Cao Cao also made him unable to refute it, so he had to remain silent.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers who had gone to attack Ximen to withdraw, and began to cook food in the camp to prepare for the night siege.

At the second and tenth quarters, the scouts of General Cao Cao summoned and ordered: "You go to the West Gate to investigate and see Liu Beijun's movements!" ”

The scout took the order, and galloped under the walls of the West Gate, cautiously approaching the past.

I saw that the city wall was crowded with people, flags fluttering, and there were calls and voices from time to time.

The scout cautiously raised his head and looked at the city wall, and saw a person wearing armor, walking around on the city wall, and his appearance was quite similar to Liu Bei.

After waiting for a while, the scout returned to Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao is still waiting for him to reply.

Without further hesitation, the scout rushed back to Cao Cao's army village to meet Cao Cao.

"What is the movement of Ximen Liu Beijun?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

The scout clenched his fists and hurriedly replied: "Lord Qi, on the wall of the West Gate, there are enemy troops all over, clamoring and shouting, full of momentum!" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and then asked, "Have you ever seen Liu Bei?" ”

"On the city wall, the firelight is swaying, and it is not very clear to see, only one person is seen, patrolling the wall, looking at his clothes, it seems to be the same as Liu Bei, and one of his sleeves is empty, fluttering with the wind." The scout reported truthfully.

After Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "This person must be Liu Bei, and my plan will be successful!" ”

"Lord, please give the order to attack the city quickly, we can't wait!" Xiahoudun stepped forward and said.

Cao Cao nodded, and said in a loud voice: "The generals will listen to the order, gather all the people, and go straight to the east gate of Chen Liucheng, and the city will be broken tonight!" ”

"Order!"

The order was conveyed, Cao Cao's army marched, with people and horses, and took advantage of the night to touch the east gate of Chen Liucheng.

After coming to the east gate, everyone looked at the city wall, but they saw that it was pitch black, and there was no one in sight.

"Lord, the situation doesn't seem right, why is there no one on this city wall, is there a fraud?" Yu Ban frowned, came to Cao Cao's side and said.

Xiahoudun next to him preemptively said: "There are not many enemy troops in Chenliu City, and our army attacks and disturbs at the West Gate during the day, Liu Bei must have mobilized the defenders of the city, which is just convenient for us to attack the city." ”

Yu Ban shook his head and said, "Liu Bei is treacherous, Chen Gong is wise, it is impossible that he will not leave the sergeant to guard the city." ”

Cao Cao stared at the city wall for a long time and said: "According to the news sent back by the scouts, Liu Bei is at the west gate at the moment, and deliberately set the east gate as unguarded, but it is just a trick, take a step back, even if there are defenders here, it is not Liu Bei's main force, and it is still a good time for us to break the city!" ”

"Lord, what are you waiting for, give the order to attack the city!" Xiahoudun shouted.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "The generals will listen to the order and follow me to attack the city!" ”

When Yu Ban heard this, he hurriedly said: "The lord is a body of ten thousand gold, so you must not take risks yourself, and let us climb over the city wall and open the city gate, and it will not be too late for the lord to enter the city again." ”

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao nodded and said: "What Wen Ze said is also good, so let's do it, Yuan Rang and Wen Ze will lead the army to attack the city wall, and after entering the city, open the city gate!" ”

"Order!"

So, Xiahoudun and Yu Ban led their men and began to attack the city.

Since the moat was the narrowest in this section, Cao Bing directly put the high ladder on the city wall and began to climb.

Without the enemy's obstruction, Cao Bing quickly climbed over the city wall, and Xiahou Dun and Yu Ban also came to the city wall one after another.

Xiahoudun looked left and right that there were no defenders, laughed, and said: "Wen Ze, you are too timid, where is there an ambush here?" ”

"It's better to be careful, we have fought with Liu Bei many times, and we have won and lost each other, so we can't underestimate this person." Yu Ban said cautiously.

Xiahoudun obviously didn't take Yu Ban's words to heart, pouted and said: "Wen Ze can also afford that one-armed Liu, and I will capture Liu Bei tonight!" ”

After speaking, Xiahoudun no longer paid attention to Yu Ban, led his own men, and ran down the city wall, wanting to capture Liu Bei as quickly as possible.

Seeing Xiahou's impatient appearance, Yu Ban couldn't help but sigh lightly, and hurriedly led the soldiers and horses to be very strong, so as not to have an accident.
