Chapter 372: Chen Gong surrenders to the enemy

Under the city of Xuchang, the war drums are shocking, and the sound of killing is wild.

Nearly 100,000 Sichuan troops were divided into three groups and launched a fierce attack on Xuchang from the east, south, and west gates.

Chen Gong and Cao Zhen couldn't take care of anything else, and after only half a day, they already felt that Xuchang was difficult to defend for a long time, there was no way, the gap in strength was too big, even if Xuchang's defense pool was strong, it was difficult to block the onslaught of 100,000 troops.

The larger the scale of the war, the more obvious the superiority in military strength.

If the Xiliang army only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, 2,000 soldiers and horses can defend it for several months.

But if an army of 100,000 attacks the city, it will take at least 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city.

In front of the army, Zhao Yun stood on horseback, standing under the banner of the Chinese army, watching the army attack the city.

At that moment, a fast horse suddenly rushed closer.

"General, Ximen urgently!"

The herald reined in his horse and said loudly.

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Speak!" ”

The messenger replied: "Chen Gong opened the west gate to lead the army into the city, please show the general." ”

"What?"

Zhao Yun was stunned at first, and then taken aback, "Chen Gong wants to dedicate the city?" ”

The messenger replied, "Exactly!" ”

"How is this possible!"

Zhao Yun looked incredulous, Chen Gong was Cao Cao's confidant, and he had always been entrusted with the important task of staying in Xuchang, why? may betray Cao Cao, saying that Chen Gong will betray Cao Cao is equivalent to Xun Yu betraying Luo Zheng, which is unbelievable.

"General, it's really wow!"

The messenger hurriedly said loudly: "Ximen Cao's army has disarmed and surrendered out of the city. ”

"What, that's the case?"

Zhao Yun gasped and quickly turned a few thoughts. didn't have time to think about why Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao, so he immediately decided: "Send three thousand soldiers and horses into the city to control the west gate." No matter how optimistic you are about the surrendered Cao army, you can't act rashly! ”

"Yes!"

The messenger agreed. Immediately urge the horse to gallop away.

"General, something is wrong!"

At the south gate, when Cao Zhen was personally leading the troops to fight in a bloody battle, a small colonel suddenly rushed over with a panicked face.

"When to panic?"

Cao Zhen was greatly displeased, and asked in a deep voice.

The little colonel's face turned pale and said, "Mr. Chen Gong is going to open the east gate and lead the Xiliang army into the city." ”

"What?"

Cao Zhen was stunned, and some couldn't come back to his senses.

The little colonel hissed: "Mr. Chen Gong opened the west gate to lead the Xiliang army into the city." ”

"Fart!"

Cao Zhen reacted at this time, and shouted in disbelief: "How could Mr. Chen Gong defect to Luo Zheng? ”

The little colonel jumped to his feet anxiously and said, "General, it's really wow." The Xiliang army has already entered the city. ”

"Ahh

Cao Zhen was completely shocked, but the news was too terrifying.

"General, general?"

Seeing that Cao Zhen was in a daze, Xiao Xiao hurriedly called a few times.

"How so?"

Cao Zhendu was a little depressed, and he couldn't believe that Chen Gong would defect to the enemy army.

If it is said that the civil and military henchmen under Cao Cao's account, aside from the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan, Chen Gong was put into Cao Cao's account earlier than anyone else, and he can be said to be loyal to Cao Cao, and has always been entrusted with the important task of staying in the nest.

But such a person suddenly betrayed.

Don't talk about Cao Zhen. I can't believe it if I change anyone.

And once such a person betrays, the consequences are often immeasurable.

Just when the little colonel risked his life to report it, the 3,000 Xiliang army had already entered the city and quickly took control of the west gate of Xuchang.

"General. What to do wow? ”

The little colonel jumped to his feet and roared, and his eyebrows were already burning in a hurry.

Cao Zhen shuddered smartly, and finally came back to his senses. Immediately, I heard Simon's shouting that the killing had subsided, and I couldn't help but tear my eyes. He roared loudly: "Chen Gong Pifu, in vain my father trusts you. Entrusted with the important task of staying behind, he actually rebelled against the enemy, and I vowed to cut this man with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart. ”

The little colonel hurriedly said: "General, the Xiliang army has already entered the city, what should I do?" ”

Cao Zhen said miserably: "What should I do? It's just a stubborn battle, and you won't retreat! ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face was sad, but he quickly gritted his teeth and roared, "Fight to the death!" ”

Half an hour later, the four gates of Xuchang had all been lost. The West Gate was lost, and the Xiliang army took advantage of the situation to enter the city, and the Cao army was far inferior to the Xiliang army under the combination of inside and outside.

Even if Cao Zhen is determined to fight to the death, it is difficult to reverse the general trend.

Xuchang South Gate.

"Mr. Chen Gong!"

Zhao Yun arched his hand to Chen Gong, and had many questions in his heart.

Chen Gong also bowed back, "General Zhao Yun!" ”

Although Zhao Yun felt that something was not good, he still couldn't hold back and asked the question in his heart, "Mr. has been following Cao Cao for ten years, and he has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Cao Cao, I don't know why he rebelled this time?" ”

Chen Gongchang sighed for a long time, his face was lonely, and he said abruptly: "Those who are ministers should know loyalty and righteousness, not disloyalty and injustice, this time abandoning Cao Cao and offering Xuchang, it is not the original wish of the palace." However, no matter what, if you turn your back on Cao Cao, you will lose your reputation after all. I don't want anything else, I just hope that the general and your lord can treat Cao Cao's family well. ”

"This ......"

Zhao Yun groaned slightly, and then said, "Sir, don't worry, I agreed." ”

Chen Gong arched his hand and said, "That's good!" ”

After that, he took another breath, didn't say a word, and turned around and went lonely.

Zhao Yun watched Chen Gong go away, couldn't help but shake his head, and immediately shouted: "Someone!" ”

"What does the general command?"

Some pro-soldiers have already stepped forward and are on standby.

Zhao Yun said: "Quickly punish the horse and go to the tiger prison to tell the lord, and say that Xuchang is broken." ”

"Yes!"

The pro-soldiers quickly took the order and quickly retreated.

Xingyang, West Gate.

Squeak!

Dozens of old and weak soldiers pushed open the city gates, and then fell to the ground and begged.

"Into town!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand, and the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry immediately rolled in.

At that moment, a fast horse rushed from a whirlwind in the distance.

"Lord, Xuchang is in a hurry!"

Before he could get closer, he opened his voice and shouted.

"Xuchang?"

Luo Zheng's eyes froze, and he grabbed the war horse and shouted, "Speak!" ”

Colonel Xiliang rushed to the front, gasped twice, and then said loudly: "General Zhao Yun sent a horse from Xuchang to report that Cao Cao's henchmen stayed in Chen Palace to surrender the city, and Xuchang was broken, how can the army stay and ask the Lord to publicize it?" ”

"What?"

Luo Zheng was stunned and said in amazement: "Chen Gong Xiancheng surrendered?" ”

The Colonel replied, "Exactly! ”

"This ......"

Luo Zheng's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng next to him also looked at each other, a little incredulous.

Chen Gong is Cao Cao's henchman, how could he surrender without a fight, this is too hard to believe.

Luo Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Why did Chen Gong surrender the city?" ”

Xiao Xiao said: "This, General Zhao Yun doesn't seem to know, Chen Gong refuses to say." ”

Luo Zheng frowned and was silent, because he couldn't believe it, so he wasn't sure if this was Chen Gong's conspiracy.

Jia Xu thought for a while, and then said: "Lord, whether it is true or not, it is an indisputable fact that General Zhao Yun has entered and occupied Xuchang. You can order Zhao Yun's general Chen Bing Xuchang to stand by, and our army can go straight to Guandu and completely break Cao Cao's army! ”

Luo Zheng's mind changed sharply, and he said: "Good, just according to the text and his opinion." (To be continued......) R1292
