Xiangping City did not last long, and finally ushered in turmoil.

When the Liaodong Army recruited again, the people who found that something was not quite right resisted one after another, and some even fought with the Liaodong Army in order to protect their families.

The untrained people were no match for the Liaodong Army after all, and the sporadic resistance was so pale and powerless.

The people, who were still helping the Liaodong Army to consolidate the city defense, gradually came up with the idea of welcoming Cao's army into the city.

All they lacked was someone to raise their arms and lead them to fight against the Liaodong Army.

The Cao family's army was still outside the city, and the shouts of the soldiers who practiced every day shook the sky, and they could be heard clearly inside and outside the city.

Hundreds of Xiangping people carried stones to the city.

These stones were used to resist the siege of Cao's army.

For many days, the stones they had brought to the city had been built into a hill, but Gongsun Yuan was still urging to carry more.

Although Cao's army did not attack the city, they would definitely not face each other for long because of their numerical advantage.

The siege is only a matter of time or time......

Carrying a boulder on his back, a ragged man watched several Liaodong soldiers walk by, he turned his face to the side and spitted.

The Gongsun family of Liaodong has done a lot of good things over the years.

When Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang were in charge of this place, the life of the people was getting better day by day.

Although it is not as rich as Cao Shuo's rule, he does not worry about food and clothing, and can live and work in peace and contentment.

It is precisely because of his gratitude to the Gongsun family that Cao Jun came to Xiangping that so many people took the initiative to help defend the city.

However, Gongsun Yuan's approach quickly chilled the hearts of the people of Xiangping.

Now in Xiangping City, everyone is looking forward to Cao Jun entering the city as soon as possible and driving out this demon-like Liaodong Taishou.

The man spat out, and the other person behind him hurried up with the stone on his back.

"Big brother." The person who caught up reminded in a whisper: "Don't dare to spit in front of them, in case you are seen......"

"It's a big deal." The spitting man said: "Sooner or later, you will die, it is better to be killed by them!" ”

"I think that since I want to die, it is better to fight than to die like this." The man who caught up whispered: "The son of the Cao family is outside the city, I heard that he is a generous ......"

"What do you mean......" asked the spitting man.

"How about we contact some people and open the gates?" The man who caught up asked in a low voice.

The spitting man was stunned and asked, "Is it possible with us?" ”

"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" The man who caught up said: "Even if it doesn't work, you can fight with Gongsun Yuanna once." ”

"That's right." The spitting man said, "We'll contact people tonight." ”

He agreed simply, but he didn't know that the man who caught up was actually one of the fire dances lurking in the city.

I have long wanted to open the city gate, but the number of fire dancers in the city is too small, and it is impossible to do anything.

Now that the people of Xiangping hate Gongsun Yuan, as long as they can encourage the people to open the city gate to welcome Cao Shuo into the city, it will be easy.

That night, the man who spat during the day began to contact the manpower.

People who have long been holding back their anger and have nowhere to vent hit it off.

After just one night, hundreds of people responded.

There were a lot of men, but it was not enough to break through the city gates, so after the people discussed, they decided to contact them for two more days, and when they had enough men, they would attack the city gates.

There was an undercurrent surging in Xiangping City, and Cao Shuo outside the city was looking at the city wall at this time.

"Childe, when are we going to attack the city?" Lu Bu, who was beside him, said: "It's been a few days since I came to Xiangping, and the soldiers are bored every day, and some people in the army even run with stones on their shoulders. ”

"That's because they're so boring." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu doesn't need to worry, in three or four days at most, Xiangping will open the city gate to welcome our army into the city." ”

"We're just surrounding them, and the city is heavily guarded." Lu Bu was stunned and asked, "How can Gongzi be sure that someone will open the city gate to welcome the army?" ”

"It's almost time." Cao Shuo said: "In order to resist our army, Gongsun Yuan has indeed done a lot of things. But he wouldn't have thought that it was precisely because he had done too much that he would give our army the opportunity to break itself! ”

"I still don't quite understand what Childe said." Lu Bu looked at Cao Shuo blankly.

Gently patting his arm, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "General Lu doesn't need to understand, as long as he knows that the city gate will be opened to us." ”

After pacifying Lu Bu, Cao Shuo instructed to the side: "Pay close attention to Xiangping's movements, once the city gate is opened, the army will attack immediately." ”

Several guards next to him bowed in response.

Cao Shuo was full of confidence, but Lu Bu didn't understand where he got his confidence.

Xiangping City is guarded like an iron bucket, even if the army attacks the city, it is impossible to break through the city in a period of time.

But Cao Shuo insisted that the city gate would open from the inside.

Seeing that Lu Bu was still puzzled, Guo Jia said: "General Lu doesn't have to think too much, Gongzi said that the city gate will be opened, and it will be opened sooner or later." It is better to have someone to greet us than to have soldiers climb the walls and suffer heavy casualties. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said no more.

He still didn't quite believe that the gates would actually open.

But Cao Shuo and Guo Jia both said this, and he had to believe that there was such a possibility!

The people in Xiangping City secretly contacted each other and discussed the day when the city gates would be opened.

The common people are not an army after all.

Even in the army, there will be some people who betray Tongze for their own interests, not to mention civilians who have little discipline to speak of.

More and more people know the news, and there will always be people who secretly snitch in order to obtain benefits.

On the night before the agreed date for the capture of the city, a man came to Gongsun Yuan's residence.

This man was about 30 years old, born with a roe deer, and although he was in rags, he looked like a thief.

After hearing the news brought by this person, Gongsun Yuan's eyes widened in astonishment: "Do you dare to guarantee that what you said is true?" ”

"Every word is true, and there is no falsehood." The informant lowered his head and said with a flattering face: "They have been plotting a few days ago, and I just got the news, so I didn't dare to delay for a moment, so I came to report to Gongzi." ”

"Go down!" Gongsun Yuan's face turned pale, and he waved his hand at the man.

The man said goodbye and left the room.

After he left, Gongsun Yuan instructed the guards in the house, "Go and invite Lun Zhi and Bei Yan." ”

Not long after the informant left, a maid in Gongsun Yuan's house also hurried out of the house.

It didn't take long for several leaders who had contacted the people to seize the city gates to get word from the maids.

The leaders were shocked to learn that someone had informed, and one of them immediately said: "It seems that we can't wait for tomorrow, and we have to take down the city gate tonight!" ”
